The Flourishing Tang Dynasty: Beginning with Marrying Yang Yuhuan

Chapter 210 Both Pregnant

After He Jin left, Yang Yuhuan smiled and said, "This young lady from the He family is quite good. She is well-behaved and has noble character."

He Jin is a girl who only talks about money. Li Ying doesn't know what's so precious about her character, but Li Ying doesn't care.

Li Heng pinched Yang Yuhuan's cheek and said lovingly, "Shouldn't you be worried about me now?"

"What are you worried about, my dear?" Yang Yuhuan held Li Ying's hand and stroked the sword callus on Li Ying's knuckles with her slender jade fingers.

Li Ying said, "I'm worried that if this case goes unsolved, I will have to live under the shadow of being assassinated."

"That's perfect." Yang Yuhuan came close to Li Ying, looked up at him slightly, and said with a naughty smile, "This way, my dear, you won't dare to go out in the future, and you can stay at home with me all the time."

Li Ying lowered his head, let his nose touch Yang Yuhuan's beautiful nose, and said: "You are becoming more and more presumptuous now."

"There are even more outrageous ones." Yang Yuhuan leaned against Li Heng's chest, pondered for a while, and said casually: "Although the assassins this time are all deadly, the time and place they chose are obviously not the best, and they did not use any conspiracy or tricks. Hongyue used some brains to assassinate Langjun, but the people this time obviously did not think much."

Li Ying was surprised to hear Yang Yuhuan casually talking about the mystery, and asked, "What does this mean?"

"This shows that these assassins prepared hastily, and the mastermind behind the scenes is completely desperate. The mastermind behind the scenes is desperate, so naturally there is no better way to deal with you." Yang Yuhuan said in a calm tone, paused, and then said: "But you can't blame them."

"Why can't we blame them?" Li Ying asked.

Yang Yuhuan said, "My dear husband, your guards are all veterans. They will not be able to succeed in assassinating you anywhere. If we use other methods, such as poisoning, it will also be difficult to succeed. Now the food ingredients in the palace are all controlled by the disciples of the Medical Department taught by Sister Mu Jin. It is impossible to send poison into the palace, unless Sister Mu Jin betrays my dear husband one day."

Yang Yuhuan saw things more and more clearly. Li Heng couldn't help but sigh secretly. He stroked Yang Yuhuan's head and asked, "Where is Mu Jin?"

"She has something to do and will be back soon." Yang Yuhuan said vaguely.

Li Ying asked in confusion: "Did she leave the house? Who followed her?"

"I'm still here." Yang Yuhuan patted the back of Li Ying's hand. "Look how worried you are. Sister Mu Jin will be very happy if she knows."

As soon as Yang Yuhuan finished speaking, Zhang Mujin walked in from the door with a sweet smile on her face.

Obviously, she heard the conversation between Li Heng and Yang Yuhuan just now.

Li Ying saw Zhang Mujin and asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Zhang Mujin sat down next to Li Ying and said, "I just went to see a doctor."

"Are you sick?" Li Ying reached out and touched Zhang Mujin's forehead. She didn't feel any fever and her face looked rosy.

Zhang Mujin did not rush to answer Li Ying, but exchanged glances with Yang Yuhuan.

Then Yang Yuhuan asked, "Really?"

Zhang Mujin nodded, with uncontrollable joy on her face.

Li Heng was puzzled and asked curiously, "Are you two plotting in front of me so blatantly?"

Yang Yuhuan said, "Sister Mu Jin, you go first."

"Yes." Zhang Mujin nodded and said to Li Ying, "Your Highness, I am pregnant."

"Really?" Li Ying became excited, touched Zhang Mujin's belly, and asked anxiously, "How many months?"

"Less than a month." Zhang Mujin's smile deepened. "A doctor cannot treat himself. I found out I was pregnant earlier, but I was not sure, so I asked Master to take my pulse."

"So that's how it is." Li Ying laughed happily and said, "There's another one." "There's another one." Zhang Mujin followed.

"There's another one?" Li Heng asked in confusion.

"Yes." Yang Yuhuan replied, "I am pregnant with another one."

Li Heng's joy was beyond words. He touched Yang Yuhuan's belly and asked, "How many months has this been?"

Yang Yuhuan said, "It was only the day before yesterday that I found out that I was pregnant."

Li Ying asked, "Then why did you say it today?"

"Sister Mu Jin and I have diagnosed your pulse together. I will wait for Sister Mu Jin to confirm before we tell you together." Yang Yuhuan said with a smile.

"That's great!" Li Ying clapped his hands happily.

Yang Yuhuan said, "My concubine and sister Mu Jin are both pregnant. Although it is a good thing, it is not good for you if we are pregnant together."

"Why not?" Li Ying was stunned.

Yang Yuhuan said: "Because then there will be no one to accompany the Minister."

"What's the big deal?" Li Ying didn't care at all. After thinking for a while, he said, "We need to add more servants to take good care of both of you."

Yang Yuhuan said, "I will take care of the servants' affairs. My dear, please focus more on official business."

Li Ying asked, "Didn't you say you weren't worried about me?"

"That being said," Yang Yuhuan sighed, "Although they were desperate to kill my husband, they even dared to kill my husband. How miserable are the people below?"

The historical Yang Yuhuan was extremely extravagant, but the current Yang Yuhuan cares about the people.

Li Heng was a little surprised and said, "From what you said, you seem to know the mastermind behind this assassination?"

Yang Yuhuan said: "I don't know exactly who they are, but I can roughly guess what kind of people they are."

"What kind of people?" Li Ying asked.

"From the perspective of interests, there are three types of people who want to kill you. The first type is the enemy country, and the most prominent of these people is Tubo. The second type is people who are afraid of your power, such as the crown prince and the right prime minister. The third type is the officials and local clans who are afraid that you will cut off their financial resources or even be liquidated by you."

Yang Yuhuan analyzed it calmly.

"The Tubo army had ambushed you in Anxi before, but not only did they fail, they were also busted by you. They have suffered losses before, so they will not act so rashly. This action is not like the Tubo style either."

"Although the Crown Prince and the Right Prime Minister are wary of Langjun's power, what they are most wary of right now is each other. Arranging people to assassinate Langjun in Tingzhou, thousands of miles away, is both far-fetched and impractical. From this perspective, the most likely culprits are the officials of Beiting and the local big families."

"That makes sense." Li Heng nodded.

"My dear, you don't go along with the bad people and you are dedicated to serving the people. However, this makes those villains hate you to the core. Sometimes I wonder why you don't just be a little more confused. This way you can live an easy life and get a lot of benefits. But later on."

Yang Yuhuan touched her belly, as if feeling the little life inside.

"I understand more and more what you have done. I also hope that our children can be as wise and brave as you."

Li Heng was a little dazed when he heard Yang Yuhuan's words.
