Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 720: Nalan Yiren's First Kiss

In the capital's government office.

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Nalan Yiren's eyes flickered. On the way to Tianchuan, she also heard some rumors. She asked, "Are you going to be crowned emperor?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Your Majesty has issued three edicts of abdication. I refused twice. I really have no choice but to accept. The abdication ceremony will be held on the seventh of next month. You can witness it with your own eyes then."

Nalan Yiren nodded, and did not discuss with Chen Mo whether the abdication of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was voluntary. Instead, she deliberately put on airs and said, "Then you should personally issue an edict in front of all the officials of the new dynasty to hire me as the imperial teacher."

"No problem at all."

"You have to prepare a place for me to live. When I came here, I didn't bring much money. I need a bigger place to live."

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you later."

"I want more"

"I'll promise you everything." Chen Mo said with a smile without waiting for Nalan Yiren to finish her words.

Nalan Yiren pursed her lips, folded her hands behind her back, interlocked her fingers, and smiled like a girl: "In this case, I will agree to your request."

As she spoke, Nalan Yiren bent down and took out a small porcelain bottle from her carry-on luggage and handed it to Chen Mo: "Hey, the Spiritual Water you asked for is a gift for our reunion."

Chen Mo reached out to take it. At the moment of handover, he pretended not to have done it on purpose and touched Nalan Yiren's hand. Her skin was soft and icy cold.

Nalan Yiren was not a stupid girl. She glanced at Chen Mo and before she could say anything, she saw Chen Mo wanted to open the small porcelain bottle to have a look. Nalan Yiren stretched out her hand to stop him and grabbed Chen Mo's hand that was about to uncork the small porcelain bottle: "Don't open it. Once the spirit water comes into contact with the air, it can only last for two quarters of an hour."

After she finished speaking, she noticed that Chen Mo's movements stopped instantly, and then she realized that Chen Mo did it on purpose.

Nalan Yiren glared at Chen Mo angrily and tried to take her hand back, but was grabbed by Chen Mo.

Just when Nalan Yiren was stunned for a moment, Chen Mo grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him, then stretched out his arm, hugged her slender waist, and held her tightly in his arms.

The protective spiritual energy of both parties was aroused almost at the same time.

Being forcibly hugged by Chen Mo, a faint blush appeared on Nalan Yiren's pale face, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She just struggled slightly, but was hugged even tighter by Chen Mo.

Nalan Yiren subconsciously wanted to poison him, but a soft voice sounded in her ear: "Yiren, I miss you."

The hot air exhaled by the other person while he was talking blew on her ears, making her feel itchy.

Hearing this, Nalan Yiren gave up resisting instantly and let Chen Mo hug her, a feeling she had never experienced before rising in her heart.

She felt so comfortable being held by Chen Mo that she even felt a little intoxicated. The innate spiritual energy that protected her body was automatically removed.

Seeing that Nalan Yiren no longer resisted, Chen Mo, who originally just wanted to hug her, now had a bolder idea. He looked down at that exquisite snow-white face, his heart suddenly filled with an impulse. He forcibly grasped the latter's slightly thin snow-white chin, and then, in the other's astonished eyes, kissed her thin, pale lips.

Being attacked again by Chen Mo, Nalan Yiren only had time to let out a low hum before her movements were completely blocked, and she was completely stunned.

She didn't know what to do next.

This was her first kiss.

She didn't know where to put her hands.

If she hadn't felt the millstone being covered by a big hot hand, she would probably have continued to be taken advantage of by Chen Mo.

She bit down fiercely with her pearly teeth without any mercy, and kneed the other person the moment he felt pain.

As a warrior at the Divine Transformation Realm, Chen Mo's perception was naturally very strong. The moment he felt the pain, he noticed Nalan Yiren's knee that made his body feel cold, and he simply clamped his legs together to avoid the crisis.

This was not over yet. Nalan Yiren immediately elbowed Chen Mo in the chest. A cloud of colorful smoke came out from her elbow and directly penetrated the protective spiritual energy.

Chen Mo broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly let go of Nalan Yiren and took a step back, avoiding the opponent's elbow.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the opponent threw another right hook at him.

Chen Mo responded hastily.

After dozens of rounds, Nalan Yiren finally gave up, spitting out a mouthful of not-so-dark red blood from her mouth, pointing at Chen Mo, and saying, "You you you..."

You talked for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

And this blood was obviously not Nalan Yiren's own.

"I can't help it, I can't help it," Chen Mo said with a wry smile.

"You bastard, I'm not one of those wives and concubines in your house who you can take whatever you want." Nalan Yiren pointed at Chen Mo and said angrily.

This person is really too much. What does he think of her?

Although he has done me a favor and I don't hate him but rather have a good impression of him, I can't do this.

She admitted that she came to Song Dynasty just for Chen Mo.

But she followed her heart without any utilitarian purpose. She came to Song Dynasty, to do her best for Chen Mo, to get along well with him, and when their feelings deepened, they would have a good relationship like normal women, and then be together naturally.

No one can be as fast as Chen Mo.

Of course, Nalan Yiren was very resistant to this.

But things had already happened, so she could only sulk in her heart. She certainly had no intention of doing anything to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo also knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly apologized to Nalan Yiren. He could also see how angry the other party was, which was definitely not the case.

However, as he was speaking, he found that his voice had changed and his mouth had become numb. Then he found that his mouth had swollen up: "Wuwu. Miss Nalan, what did you do to me?"

I can't even speak clearly anymore.

"It serves you right." Seeing Chen Mo like this, Nalan Yiren's anger was much less.

"Stop messing around, give me the antidote."

Chen Mo was blinded by lust just now, but then he remembered that the man was a poison master and his whole body was covered with poison.

Maybe she was already poisoned the moment he kissed her, and it's just starting to take effect now.

He used his internal energy to resist, but it was of no use.

"Humph." Nalan Yiren snorted coldly: "How dare you mess around?"

"I don't dare anymore. Please let me go."

"Wait, it will be ready in half an hour."

"Ah, it's been so long. Is there any antidote? How about giving me some of your blood to drink?"

"Don't even think about it. This is a lesson for you, so that you will remember it."

"You really don't want to give it?"

"Don't even think about it."

"Well."

As he said that, Chen Mo took a step forward and hugged Nalan Yiren again, pretending to bite her lips, wanting to bite her lips and drink some blood.

Nalan Yiren was frightened by Chen Mo's actions.

It was only because of the physical contact that I was able to successfully poison Chen Mo.

Otherwise, given the other party's strength and the fact that he was on guard, even she would have found it difficult to poison him successfully.

If he bites me again and drinks some of my blood, not only will I be taken advantage of, but he will also have to cure the poison.

Nalan Yiren was so scared that she quickly took out the antidote and gave it to Chen Mo.

After Chen Mo took the antidote, he looked at Nalan Yiren in confusion: "Why is it useless?"

"This is an antidote, not a miracle drug. It won't work immediately after taking it. It takes time to work."

"When will the wood disappear?" Chen Mo's words were unclear. Nalan Yiren could hear what Chen Mo wanted to say and said, "Half a quarter of an hour."

Chen Mo: "..."

He felt that Nalan Yiren did this on purpose and there must be a more powerful antidote, but he had no evidence.

So he waited like this for half a quarter of an hour.

The swelling in my mouth has gone down, but my lips are still numb.

He looked at Nalan Yiren again in confusion: "Why is my mouth still numb?"

"This is a sequelae. This antidote can't cure it. It will take half an hour to completely eliminate it."

"..."

"Why didn't you say anything just now?"

"You didn't even ask."

Now, Chen Mo had no doubt that she did it on purpose.

But it was worth it to be able to hug her waist, kiss her mouth, touch her buttocks, and let my mouth go numb for half an hour.

Seeing him being humiliated, Nalan Yiren turned sideways and smiled without Chen Mo seeing.

"Let's go." Chen Mo said.

He has taken advantage of the situation. If he continues to stay in the yamen, he will affect the work of the people there.

"Where?"

"I'll take you to where you're going to live. Didn't you ask me to arrange a big house for you?" Chen Mo said.

When he left the government office, the chief official of the government office personally saw him off: "Goodbye, King Wei."

Chen Mo stopped and turned around to ask, "What's your name?"

The chief official of the yamen bowed and said, "Your subordinate is Peng Yi."

"Peng Yi, I will remember you." After saying that, Chen Mo took Nalan Yiren away.

On the way, Chen Mo asked Nalan Yiren about Si Song's situation.

"The Great Elder rescued me in time, so I'm fine. It's just that my realm has dropped to the fourth level, and I won't be able to advance any further in my lifetime." Nalan Yiren said.

Chen Mo sighed: "It's good that everyone is okay."

Not long after, outside the Prince of Wei's Palace.

"Is this the mansion you arranged for me?" Nalan Yiren frowned slightly.

"Just tell me if it's big or not. In the entire capital, apart from the imperial palace, there are few places as big as this one." Chen Mo said.

Nalan Yiren: "..."

Chen Mo brought Nalan Yiren to the main hall of the back house.

In the hall, except for the pregnant Xia Zhining, Chu Ran, Yi Shiyan, and Xia Zhiqing who was accompanying Xia Zhining, all the women in the back house were there.

When Nalan Yiren came in, all the women looked at her with some confusion.

Wu Mi asked doubtfully, "Husband, this girl is...why does she look familiar?"

Not only Wu Mi looked familiar, but Han Anniang, Song Min, Chu Juan and others also looked somewhat familiar.

Nalan Yiren said calmly: "Princess Wei, long time no see."

As soon as this unique smoky voice came out, Wu Mi and the others immediately recognized Nalan Yiren. Wu Mi asked in surprise: "Miss Nalan, it's you?"

"It turned out to be Miss Nalan."

"Miss Nalan, don't you usually wear a mask? Why are you..."

"Wow, I didn't expect Miss Nalan to be so pretty."

All the girls were curious and started talking about it one by one.

"Grandpa's revenge has been taken. There is no need to live with a mask on anymore." Nalan Yiren answered the girls with the same reason she gave Chen Mo.

Xiao Yunxi smiled and said, "Miss Nalan, you came here specifically to look for your husband, right?"

There is something meaningful in the look.

"When I separated from the King of Wei, he invited me to come to the Song Dynasty to be an official and a national teacher, but I was busy at the time and did not agree immediately. However, the Hundred Poison Valley and I will never forget the King of Wei's great kindness. Now that the matter has been resolved, I immediately rushed here from the Hundred Poison Valley, hoping to help the King of Wei." When entering the mansion, Nalan Yiren had already thought of the answer.

"Oh." Xiao Yunxi deliberately stretched out the word "oh" and smiled softly: "So that's how it is."

In her heart, Xiao Yunxi already considered Nalan Yiren as a newcomer.

After all, the person was brought home.

Chen Mo quickly coughed and said, "Mi'er, help Miss Nalan clean up a room."

"My husband, there's no need for that. No one lives in the room where Miss Nalan lived in the mansion. We just need to ask the servants to clean it up. The furnishings inside remain unchanged." Wu Mi said.

At that time, Wu Mi had a vague feeling that Nalan Yiren would become a part of the mansion, so even though Nalan Yiren did not come with Chen Mo last time, Wu Mi did not let anyone touch that room.

Wu Mi quickly arranged for people to go down and clean up.

"Thank you, Princess Wei." Nalan Yiren said.

"You're welcome. Miss Nalan, you can live in my house with peace of mind from now on. If you need anything, just tell me directly." Wu Mi said with a smile.

Nalan Yiren nodded: "Then I will trouble Princess Wei in the future."

Seeing that they were getting along well, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mi'er, where are the children?"

"My dear, you forgot that the teacher you found for them has arrived and is now teaching in the front hall." Wu Mi said.

Hearing this, Chen Mo remembered this.

The teacher he found for his children was Chen Ming, the grandson of Chen Xiu, the Minister of Rites. There was no problem at all in giving the children an elementary education.

……

The time came to August 5th.

One day before the Tengu eclipse, two days before the abdication ceremony.

For the common people in the city, today is no different from any other day, but for all the departments in the court, they are busy as always and will not allow any unexpected events to happen in the next two days.

Prince Wei's Mansion.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" After hearing the news, Chen Mo hurried to Xia Zhining's room. When he saw the beautiful woman lying on the bed, stroking her big belly, he immediately asked anxiously.

Sitting by the bed, Xia Zhiqing wiped the sweat off her sister's face and said, "My dear, Zhining had a severe stomachache just now. I thought she was about to give birth, so I quickly sent someone to call you. It turned out to be a false alarm."

Chen Mo came to the bed and squatted down, holding Xia Zhining's delicate hand with one hand, and raised his other hand to stroke her cheek, tidying up the hair stuck on her face, and said: "Zhi Ning, how do you feel, are you okay?"

Xia Zhining shook her head and said softly, "My sister and I were frightened just now."

Xia Zhining had just said this.

"What's going on?" Wu Mi's voice came from outside the house.

Seeing that the door was not closed, Wu Mi walked straight in, came to the bedside, and checked on Xia Zhining's condition.
