My Master Jinyiwei

Chapter 78

The war between the Great Wei and the Ancient Kingdom of Yi, from outside the boundary to Xuan'an Pass, intensified.The gate of Xuan'an Pass has been closed, and it has entered a period of full-scale combat.The urgent letter flew from Xuan'an Pass to Yejing, and His Majesty was furious. He did not expect such a thing to happen in the middle of the marriage.Fortunately, neither Liu Ling nor Qin Ning had any accidents, and they were both protected and left. Otherwise, if an accident happened to these two people, the world would be cold-hearted. Even the emperor's relatives, the emperor would have no face to confess.

Among the ministers, there was a main battle, and there was a main peace, but the emperor's expression was unpredictable, and he didn't say a word.After the crown prince came out, angrily denounced dozens of crimes against the ancient country of Yi, and asked to leave the station, the emperor was slightly moved, but the current court still did not make an order.In the next few days, the ministers in the cabinet had been discussing the war with His Majesty in the imperial study, and the crown prince knelt outside the palace for three days, and he was able to see His Majesty after three days.

His Majesty handed over the full power of the war in the ancient kingdom of Yi to the crown prince, who also took the post of minister of the military department, and won several high-ranking generals for him. He set up a life and death certificate in front of the emperor, saying that he would definitely punish those who failed to keep their promises and destroyed A lesson for the Yi ancient country of the agreement.

During this period, the emperor asked several times about the whereabouts of the princess and the princess in the marriage team. He was in trouble day and night, and sent many condolence gifts to the two houses.The emperor also lavishly praised Liu Ling for her patience. This unlucky princess who hadn't finished her marriage completely sacrificed her reputation in the emperor's decree to save the common people in the world.What the emperor meant was that everyone can only praise Liu Ling, exaggerate greatly, it doesn't matter how much you exaggerate, but you must never say Liu Ling's fault.After all, the marriage was arranged by the emperor alone...

Everyone knew it well, and praised: Her Royal Highness sacrificed too much for me, Great Wei, and she is a heroine among women.Some even flattered the emperor, and wanted to come up with a beautiful title to commend the princess for her patriotism.Because the emperor felt that it was too "disguised", so he gave up.

The prince Liu Wang plotted in every possible way, and got his wish. He got the military power from the emperor, and he commanded the battle earnestly with high spirits.It not only means to let the ancient country of Yi bow its head, but also let His Majesty watch his talents.The emperor is Qingming, although there are several princes under his knees, the position of Prince Liu Wang has always been very secure.But despite being stable, the natal families of other princes are all ready to move, wanting to find opportunities for their master.But at the moment when Liu Wang got the military power, the older princes suddenly realized that the prince's position was unprecedentedly stable, and if they fought again, they might not be able to compete.For a while, everyone's mood faded, and some people turned to the prince's side calmly.

And at this point in the chess game, the biggest hero behind the prince is Xu Shijin who planned all this.She lures both parties into the game to achieve her goal.Although the prince was used, he still gave his lover a bright future.It's a pity that no one knows what she did except a few people.

Prince does not only have such a thing.He is past the age of weak crown, and the marriage can no longer be shirked.His Majesty explained to the Ministry of Rites that in order to select the crown princess, he handed it over to the crown prince for personal inspection.Once the war is stable, the Crown Princess will enter the East Palace.

The head of the Xu family cautiously asked Xu Shijin to talk to him, asking about her relationship with the crown prince, and promised that the Xu family would try their best to protect her, and asked her not to worry.

After coming out of the study, Nuan Xiang was really happy for the girl, looking at the sun that was too warm to open her eyes in the summer afternoon, "Girl, are you relieved now? The owner of the house has already talked to the girl, so there must be nothing wrong. "

Xu Shijin smiled very lightly, "Anomaly is a demon." She paused, "Nuan Xiang, since I broke off my engagement with Shen Yu at the age of 14, I have been a female official in the palace for five years, and I have been out of the palace for one year, and I have wasted six years. In the past six years, no one helped me, no one loved me, and all the things that made me happy were all calculated by me. Love, power, and status were all spelled out by myself. "

"...Yes, the girl is very powerful." Nuan Xiang said softly.

Xu Shijin tilted his head, his eyes slightly confused, "But recently, I've been thinking that those calculated things may not belong to me. I... I," the corners of her lips turned white, and forced out a powerless smile, Holding his forehead with his hands, "I regret it a bit."

"...!" Nuan Xiang widened her eyes in astonishment, "Regret?! Girl, you can't regret it! You are getting everything you want, and you are about to succeed. If you regret it at this time, you will lose everything!"

Xu Shijin was speechless, even Nuan Xiang knew that she had reached a point where she couldn't help herself.

But she felt very tired.

These days, she is always dreaming, dreaming about things before entering the palace, dreaming about her childhood that was not so full of conspiracy and calculation.

She began to wonder: Is it all worth it?Is power that important, is love real, is the highest seat in the empire available?But any unsatisfaction can prove her failure.

This is a dangerous idea. Once a person starts to reflect on himself, it is a harbinger of powerlessness.

Xu Shijin began to be afraid. This dangerous thought always popped out of her mind inexplicably, and it was the most real thought in her heart.She hasn't lost sight of the way ahead, but she is already afraid in her heart—this is not like her.

Xu Shijin became increasingly silent.

"Is it true that the girl won't tell His Highness about meeting Mr. Shen that day?" Nuan Xiang asked again, full of worries.Miss Xu told her in private that Mr. Shen said something strange, and according to the behavior of girls in the past, she must have told His Highness without hesitation.But Nuan Xiang looked at it, and it had been a long time, and the girl had no intention of explaining.

But it's impossible for His Highness not to know that the girl met Mr. Shen!The girl is so smart, how could she not know that if she didn't take the initiative to speak, it would plant a thorn between her and His Highness, making their relationship dangerous?

When Nuan Xiang asked, Xu Shijin began to feel tired again, and began to doubt herself again-is this kind of love that even counts on trust, is it really love?
Of course trust is needed in love, and of course there should be no seeds of doubt.But everything has to be accounted for, and everything has to be explained clearly saying "I have no guilt in my heart, you have to trust me", is this really love?

That's a really dangerous idea.

But she can't help it...

"Girl?" Nuan Xiang became even more worried when she saw that Miss Xu was in a daze.In the past, the girl was full of confidence, and she was never as confused as she is now.

"...Oh," Xu Shijin returned to his senses, "I will tell you. This matter is more important, and it is not clear in the letter. When I have a chance to meet His Highness, I will explain it to him personally."

The meeting between her and Shen Yu was just a trivial matter, the more important thing was the hint that Shen Yu gave her.This kind of hint involved too much, Xu Shijin should tell His Highness immediately.But she made excuses for herself: It's not that I don't want to betray Shen Yu, it's because I want to find out the truth and tell His Highness, I don't want His Highness to panic...

But the very beginning of this kind of thinking showed that she had a ghost in her heart.

Always temporarily the crown prince is busy with the war and will not contact Xu Shijin.Xu Shijin had a chance to catch his breath, and wanted to use these few days of effort to think more about his own mind and think about where he should go.

When Yejing was full of wind and rain, in the small town beyond the border, Liu Ling and Shen Yan were quite at ease.Shen Yan told Liu Ling that when it was almost dawn, the Demon Cultists arrived with the border guards, and the Wei people supported the reinforcements, and the danger was over.So far, it is unnecessary for Jin Yiwei to complete the task assigned by His Majesty, and the task agreed by Shen Yan and Xu Shijin has been completed.Jin Yiwei returned to Beijing to return to his orders, Master Shen was not in a hurry, and walked back slowly with Liu Ling.

The emperor was very considerate of him: A-Ling must be in a bad mood when something like this happened, Master Shen is willing to sacrifice himself for A-Ling, His Majesty feels that he has nothing to be unhappy about.Not only would he not blame Shen Yan, but after returning to Beijing, because of Shen Yan's achievements, he would be promoted again.

Liu Ling made a calculation, and if the Zhenfu envoy goes up, it is the commanding job.Going up, there is no co-presbyterian in Jinyiwei for the time being, but three commanders at the same level.But among the three commanding envoys, two are small gifts from His Majesty to the aristocratic family. They use the Jinyiwei to obtain their qualifications and don't care much about the affairs of the Jinyiwei.In other words, after Mr. Shen returned to the capital, apart from the commander Chen Shizhong, Shen Yan would be the one with the most power in Jinyiwei.

Liu Ling said to Shen Yan, "You have to thank me, I am your lucky star. You see, since you met me, you have had many good things. An official who has not been promoted for several years, now has been promoted so much all at once. .”

Shen Yan looked at her, "You mean, don't you mean that I am your disaster star? Since we met, you see you are unlucky..."

Liu Ling didn't care, "I've been unlucky since I was a child, and this year hasn't looked too special. Mr. Shen, if you want to be my disaster star, I'm afraid you have to work through your qualifications."

"..." Shen Yan's face darkened, and she couldn't continue talking with her.What's wrong with him that he wants to be her disaster star?

Seeing that he was choking, Liu Ling raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

Liu Ling felt that these days were the happiest for her.She and Shen Yan have settled everything, and after returning to Beijing, they can prepare for their marriage.Her father doesn't care about her, Shen Yan's parents have already acquiesced, and even Old Master Dingbei won't say anything.The only one who still has complaints about this marriage is His Majesty.But His Majesty has a big heart, he is not willing to marry the very complicated Liu Ling, but from the beginning to the end, His Majesty only made a few points and did not seriously object.Liu Ling didn't believe that if Shen Yan accompanied her to marry, His Majesty would be so stupid that he didn't know anything.But a person who can be an emperor will definitely not be dragged away by such a matter, he smiled casually, and acquiesced to Liu Ling and Shen Yan's companions.

Before the incident, Liu Ling never knew about Shen Yan and Xu Shijin's plans.Because there are too many people involved, the fewer people who know about it, the better.At that time, Liu Ling thought that Shen Yan could go with her, as long as the two of them did not affect the overall situation, even if they eloped in private, His Majesty would turn a blind eye and not pursue it.It is precisely because she has the bottom line in her heart that she knows that His Majesty only cares about the big picture, so Liu Ling can go with Shen Yan without knowing anything.

Now that she and Shen Yan have overcome everything, what can stop the two of them from being together?
The two entered the land of Wei, leisurely and contented.The two of them's current hobby is to cook all kinds of delicious food.From eating outside the Great Wall to inside the pass, not only did Liu Ling's own cooking skills improve a lot, what made her most gratified was that Master Shen didn't suffer from a single stomach problem during the journey back and forth.

This is of course her credit.

But joy begets sorrow.

Shen Yan didn't have a stomach problem, but Liu Ling fell ill, vomiting and diarrhea, and couldn't travel anymore.

At this time, Xuan'an Pass has been blocked, and the war has started, and the people are not allowed to go out at will.Because of the sudden outbreak of the war, there was no preparation at Xuan'an Pass, and the corpses that died in the battle were not properly disposed of. Many people in the pass were infected, and the doctors were very busy.Therefore, when Liu Ling needed doctors, the doctors had already been taken away by the officials to treat the common people.Liu Ling's illness, in the eyes of the senior officials, is just a minor ailment, and it is not worth assigning a doctor at all.

Neither Liu Ling nor Shen Yan disclosed their identities, so it is normal for people to ignore them.

Fortunately, when returning to the pass, Uncle Peng's family came back with him.After Liu Ling fell ill, Mrs. Peng took good care of her.Her vomiting and diarrhea didn't seem to be too serious. After resting for two days, her complexion improved a lot.So the doctor didn't arrive for a long time, and the two didn't particularly persistently want to reveal their identities, so they called the doctor over.

And Uncle Peng, as Jin Yiwei's informant, went to Xuan'an Pass and followed the signs to report to Shangfeng.When being given medicine by Shen Yan, when she heard Uncle Peng's whereabouts, Liu Ling laughed at Shen Yan, "Such a high-ranking official in Jinyiwei is in front of Uncle Peng, but unfortunately he only knows to call you 'Master Shen' and doesn't know what you are doing. Yes. You still let him make a trip in vain to report to so-and-so..."

After Liu Ling knew about Shen Yan's responsibility in Jinyiwei, Shen Yan didn't avoid him too much when they chatted afterwards.Occasionally, when he was in the mood, he would say a few more words to her.Now he introduces his situation to her, "The Jinyi Guards Office at Xuan'an Pass is not under my jurisdiction. What Uncle Peng is doing is under the supervision of the Nanzhen Fusi, which is different from our Beizhen Fusi. Same."

Liu Ling was lying on the bed sickly, still curious, "Then what is your North Town Fusi in charge of?" She complained, "When I was in Yejing, I thought you were very busy. I don't understand you. What are you up to?"

Shen Yan just wanted her to recuperate well, and didn't want to talk about these things with her, so she said concisely, "It's a long story, so let's not talk about it."

"It's a long story, so let's keep it simple." Liu Ling said, "You won't be up to now, and still say that I spied on your Jinyiwei's information?"

Shen Yan smiled and rubbed the hair of the girl in her arms.Liu Ling's words brought back many memories in him.In the past, when he didn't have a good relationship with her or had troubles, he always used this reason to block her.

But simply talk about the duties of Beizhen Fusi, how can it be simple?

Shen Yan glanced at her, "I told you, you just drink the medicine obediently?"

"I can't guarantee it," Liu Ling said seriously, "but if you don't tell me, I will definitely not take medicine."

Shen Yan said, "Kill."

"what?"

"The matter of our Fusi in Beizhen, to put it simply, is to kill people." Shen Yan pushed the medicine bowl under her eyelids, "After talking, drink the medicine."

"..." Liu Ling felt that she was tricked by him, turned her head away, "Don't drink."

"Reason?" Shen Yan asked, seemingly patient.

"While drinking the medicine, you said 'killing', which made me lose my appetite. Looking at this medicine is like looking at a bowl of blood. How can I drink it?"

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, he hadn't faced Liu Ling's actions for a long time.Some time ago, everything was overwhelming, and Liu Ling was very obedient.Whatever he told her, she did.Shen Yan was used to Liu Ling like that, but when Liu Ling started to have sex with him again, he found that he actually missed Liu Ling who would have sex with him.

She made it, he got it back bit by bit.

Liu Ling didn't know what Shen Yan was thinking because of her uncertain expression.Seeing that he didn't respond, she suggested to him, "Master Shen, do you know how other people drink medicine? They feed it with their mouths..." She looked at the corner of Master Shen's lips suggestively, her eyes were too revealing.

"...You are quite demanding," Shen Yan said, "Believe it or not, I'll pour it down for you?"

When Mrs. Peng entered the house to help, she faced the lovers' chatter.She stood aside for a long time, but Liu Ling didn't notice her coming, she still insisted on asking for a kiss with Shen Yan, but Shen Yan saw the outsider next to him, coughed a few times, and the warning eyes hinted at her, Liu Ling insisted Did not respond.

Because Mr. Shen always has this attitude...

Shen Yan couldn't stand her, pushed the bowl towards her, "Drink the medicine!"

"Ugh!" Liu Ling vomited immediately when she smelled the medicine.

Shen Yan panicked, and hurriedly patted her on the back, forgetting about feeding her medicine.

Mrs. Peng saw that the girl was vomiting sour water, so she hurried up to take care of her.But when Liu Ling got better and was dying in Shen Yan's arms, Mrs. Peng asked her about the condition of Guishui, and she suddenly felt blessed, "Well, Mrs. Shen, in your condition, you must be pregnant, right?"

"..." Liu Ling and Shen Yan were both stunned.

"How is it possible..." Liu Ling denied it intuitively.

How could she be pregnant?She wasn't even married yet... But Mrs. Peng looked at her suspiciously, and she also felt uncertain.After all, she and Shen Yan...

"Where does the nearest doctor live?" In the silence, Shen Yan asked prominently.

Mrs. Peng was taken aback for a moment before answering.Shen Yan got up and walked out, but was grabbed by Liu Ling, "Where are you going?"

"Look for a doctor," Shen Yan replied, "Liu Ling, we need a doctor now."

Liu Ling tacitly agreed that what he said was correct.Doctors are needed now, regardless of whether they expose their identities or not.If she is really pregnant... Liu Ling panicked.

But, "It's getting dark, let's go tomorrow."

Shen Yan turned her head and saw Liu Ling's slightly confused eyes.

Mrs. Peng also felt that there was a war now, and it would be unsafe after dark, so she hurriedly nodded and said, "Let's wait for the doctor tomorrow. Mrs. Shen is just pregnant, and I can still take care of her."

Pregnancy, this is how far away from Liu Ling.

She never thought it would be like this...

Marry Shen Yan, have children for Shen Yan, and be a good wife and mother.This is something she has been thinking about for a long time, and suddenly there is a possibility to realize it. Compared with extreme joy, the first emotion that comes is confusion.

Liu Ling stroked her flat belly: Are you really pregnant?

After Mrs. Peng left, Liu Ling sat on the bed, and Shen Yan stood by the door. The two looked at each other without speaking.

Liu Ling asked him, "What should I do?"

Shen Yan asked back, "What do you think should be done?"

Liu Ling said, "I want to be born. How about you?"

"We are fighting now, and Xuan'an Pass is not peaceful," Shen Yan said calmly, "This place is too far from Yejing, if you are pregnant, we will have to live here for two months. In two months, too many things will happen. If we don't go to Yejing, we won't be able to get married, so we can only deal with it outside. When we return to Yejing, there will be a lot of gossip..."

Liu Ling looked at him, her eyes dimmed.She held her lower abdomen with her hands, bowed her head in silence, tears were already rolling.

She knew that Shen Yan was telling the truth, but he was so cold and rational, she felt, she felt...

Shen Yan walked to the bed, bent down, raised her face, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.He laughed, "But I will protect you, and our children."

Liu Ling raised her eyes to look at him, "What do you mean?"

"It means that I think the same as you. If you want to have a baby, I agree."

"Master Shen!" Liu Ling smiled, and rushed to hug him, "You are so kind!"

He is so indifferent and so rational, she thinks, she thinks...she thinks he is really the best man in the world!

After settling Liu Ling to sleep, Shen Yan went to the next room and started writing letters.He separated from his subordinates and stayed with Liu Ling, but this did not mean that he would completely let go of Jin Yiwei's upcoming trip.In the past few days, Shen Yan has been doing remote assistance.But tonight, he pushed away the letter paper, not to contact Jin Yiwei, but to write a letter to his mother after pondering for a long time.

Shen Yan went out to carry out a mission, but for the sake of confidentiality, she never contacted her family.Mrs. Shen often lamented that every time Shen Yan went out, it was as if she had lost it, and often there was no news at all for two or three months.

This time, Shen Yan was not afraid to reveal her whereabouts, and wrote a letter to Mrs. Shen, hoping that she would enter the palace and tell His Majesty, so that His Majesty would issue an imperial decree to bestow marriage.Although he and Liu Ling couldn't go back, this marriage really couldn't be delayed any longer.

When Shen Yan was writing the letter carefully, she heard a rustling sound outside the door.He coughed, the sound stopped for a while, and the door was pushed open a little bit.In the light, Shen Yan raised her head and saw Liu Ling standing at the door, leaning forward halfway, her slightly flickering eyes just bumped into him.

Embarrassed, Liu Ling trimmed her hair and closed the door as if nothing had happened.Shen Yan found out that she had changed into a new dress. It was a big night, she was dressed up dazzlingly, and she smiled at him... flattering?
Not only that, she also held a plate of pastries in her hand.

Liu Ling walked towards him with a natural attitude, "Master Shen, you haven't eaten tonight, have you? I just remembered, and I went to the small kitchen to make pastries for you. Would you like some?"

"..." Shen Yan raised her eyebrows, isn't she sick?
Shen Yan felt that she had no virtue or ability to get the sick Liu Ling out of bed and make pastries diligently.

He put down the pen in his hand, leaned back, and said clearly, "Tell me, what do you need my help for?"

Liu Ling put the plate on the table and casually glanced at the letter paper pressed by the paperweight. Shen Yan blocked it with her arm, but she didn't see anything.But it doesn't matter, the original purpose of her coming is not to see what Shen Yan is writing.Liu Ling looked around, only Shen Yan was sitting, and there were no other stools.She stood across the table and smiled at Shen Yan.

"...Come here, why are you standing so far away?" Shen Yan stood up, feeling that it was inappropriate for him to sit while his lover stood.

"No, no, Mr. Shen, sit down. I'll just stand up. I've slept for several days, and now I don't want to sit at all." Liu Ling said hastily.

"..." Shen Yan sat down again, narrowed her eyes, and felt that Liu Ling's plan was not trivial.

"Can I borrow some paper?" Liu Ling, who was standing across the table, asked.

"You can do whatever you want." Shen Yan twitched the corners of her mouth, wanting to know what she was going to do.

Liu Ling took a pen and sketched on the paper. Seeing that Mr. Shen was indifferent, she hurriedly pulled him to bow his head and admired together, "Mr. Shen, we are about to have a child. After thinking about it, I think we should consider the future of our child." .As a parent, one should have far-reaching considerations. Mr. Shen, do you think we can discuss this too?"

"Say." Shen Yan said.

"I think so. When we educate our children in the future, can we plan our words and deeds in advance?" Liu Ling raised her eyes and tapped her lover's expressionless face. Stable, irritable, easy to think about things to the left. Sometimes pessimistic, easy to impulsive, do things that I can't get back. But you said, I am a good girl..."

"Liu Ling, what on earth are you going to say?" Shen Yan was shocked and couldn't sit still, "You used yourself to win my sympathy, and even blocked me with what I said... You made me nervous."

"Master Shen, don't be nervous. This matter is actually our discussion. I just want to tell you, I hope that when we educate our children in the future, we can plan our words and deeds in advance. I want to be a good mother, you know Yes. But I need your help, isn't that too much?"

"Continue," Shen Yan said softly, "I won't know until you tell me."

"I think, mother is the most important role in a child's life. I think that when the child cries, he can find me. If he is wronged, he will tell me as soon as possible. He can feel my love for her. His strong love and tolerance, he regards me as the most important person to him. I give him my whole heart and he can feel it completely. But father is not so important..."

Shen Yan remained expressionless, "Say it bluntly."

"Ahem," Mr. Shen couldn't be moved by expressiveness. Seeing his frown, Liu Ling could only say simply, "That's right, about the child, any good things are my credit, and any bad things are my fault." You did it all."

"..." Shen Yan didn't speak.

Liu Ling observed Shen Yan's expression, stepped back, her heart beating, but she still insisted, "People say that fathers are strict and mothers are loving, there is a basis for this. We are also a part of all living beings, Mr. Shen, you have to follow me Same, believe in fate, thank fate.”

Shen Yan stood up.

Liu Ling emphasized loudly, "Strict father and loving mother! Strict father and loving mother! Strict father and gentle mother! This is very important!"

Shen Yan said, "Come here, I will let you feel my strictness."

Shen Yan hooked her, and pulled Liu Ling who was trying to escape across a table.Liu Ling wanted to struggle, but her whole body flew into the air, her waist was bound by him, one hand was up and the other was down, she fell completely into Shen Yan's hands.Liu Ling's face was stiff, but the corners of her mouth were pursed, she would rather die than surrender.

She thought indifferently: What can he do to her?Anyway, she insisted on doing this, even if Shen Yan disagreed, he had to agree, hmph...

When she was determined, she was turned around and her skirt was overturned. Feeling the coolness behind her, Liu Ling suddenly panicked.She was lying in his arms, her hands and feet were twitching, and she was struggling violently.When a crisp slap landed on her buttocks, breaking the silence in the room, Liu Ling's face turned red.

She was spanked by Shen Yan again!And more so than last time...

Liu Ling yelled angrily, "Shen Yan! How dare you hit me!"

"Don't be angry," Shen Yan said leisurely, "Aren't you going to be a loving and gentle mother? Do you know what kindness and gentleness mean? Why are you angry?"

"..." Liu Ling wanted to cry.
