Chapter 86 Love Over Time
Looking at the doubt in her eyes, Yue Yu seemed to know what she was thinking, and smiled indifferently: "Don't think too much, it's just that the residents of Qisan Lane came to tell me that a fairy-like figure suddenly appeared in the alley. Beauty. Hearing their descriptions, she looks just like you. So I guessed it was you. But—"

His eyes darkened, and he said in a serious tone: "It's not right for you to go to that kind of place. If you have something to do, you can entrust it to me. I'll find someone to help you!"

Looking at his frank eyes, Yu Ruyan felt ashamed of her suspicion and mistrust just now, she stood there blushing at a loss, and after a long time said: "Thank you for taking care of me, sir, I... I'm sorry , I shouldn't doubt you, you... how could you harm me, I'm overthinking."

She apologized to him in a panic, and Yue Yu smiled indifferently, "It's nothing. You should be on guard."

Watching the carriage leave, he stood quietly at the door without leaving for a long time, waves surged in his calm eyes, thinking of all kinds of possibilities in the future, he couldn't help flashing a lot of unbearable eyes.

Qingcha stepped forward and asked softly: "Master, many neighbors have come to ask when the clinic will reopen for consultation?"

A look of fatigue flashed across Yue Yu's eyes, and he sighed, "Tell the neighbors that the Wuwei Medical Center will be temporarily closed, please explain to the neighbors and apologize, and ask for their understanding!"

The carriage went to the small courtyard where Brother An used to live. On the way, Yu Ruyan was lost in thought. What Yue Yu said just now reminded her that her conspicuous trip to Qisan Lane before was indeed too eye-catching. I'm afraid it will be easy to find yourself if you check it.

Brother An looked at her frowning expression, and couldn't help worrying: "What is the princess worrying about?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she turned to think of the Qisan Lane mentioned by Yue Yu at the door just now, and couldn't help but asked strangely: "What is the princess doing in the alley? I heard that there are many tile kilns in that area, and there are many places to go in and out... ·”

Speaking of Wayao Ange couldn't help but think of what happened to his Qin Xianglou, his heart sank, and his face darkened.

Yu Ruyan noticed her change.Seeing her gloomy and silent appearance, I can't help but feel extremely sad. Even though her body has been healed now, the wounds in her mind can never be healed...
After making arrangements for Brother An, Yu Ruyan happened to see Xiaodao coming back when she went out to return home. She handed the sword that Yue Yu asked her to bring back to Xiaodao and asked, "How is the matter going?"

Excitement flashed across Xiaodao's face, and he whispered in her ear: "The candidate has been found, and he has found an opportunity to send it to the mansion. As expected, he should
There will be news soon. "

After Yue Yu's reminder, Yu Ruyan couldn't help asking worriedly: "Is the candidate reliable? Will they suddenly turn against each other and confess you and me?"

Xiaodao understood her worry, and said firmly: "Sister, don't worry, she has already been abandoned on the street waiting to die when she got this disease, her parents are also old and destitute, and her father is a gambler. She was sold in that kind of place. So I promised to give her money to cure her illness, help her redeem her life, and help her father pay off his gambling debts. Most importantly, I told her clearly that the prime minister's mansion would definitely kill her after the incident was completed. Hate, without our help, she would not be able to escape the clutches of the Xiangfu. She is a smart person, she should understand that once she sets foot on this boat, she will never turn back."

While speaking, Xiao Dao showed a hostile look on his face again, and he said coldly: "In case she retreats halfway, I have taken care of her parents and brother, so that nothing will happen, and I won't be afraid that she will be disobedient. So there is no need for my sister to worry!"

Looking at the knife in front of her with a face full of hostility, Yu Ruyan was shocked. She didn't know when the knife, which was once simple and simple, changed, became sophisticated and decisive, and the sinister aura emanating from her body made her feel very uncomfortable. strangeness.

She just found a girl who looked five points similar to her to make a deal, the two parties were voluntary, no complaints and no regrets, but she didn't expect that the knife had turned the deal into coercion, and even controlled her parents and family members behind her back Already...

She was stunned and said: "At the beginning, we agreed with her to spend money to hire her to do things, but now you control other people's parents... I'm afraid it's not right?"

Xiaodao said disapprovingly: "As long as she does things well, I will not do anything to her family, but if she dares to betray us, I will definitely not let them go lightly."

Xiaodao gritted his teeth when he said the word 'sell', and his face became distorted and hideous.

Yu Ruyan's heart trembled. Since the last time the Wangfu searched the mansion, she always felt that Xiaodao had changed, became taciturn, and was often alone in a daze, as if she was full of worries and troubles. However, when she asked, he He refused to say a word.

The former Xiao Dao never hid words from her, and would tell her every detail.

She entered the mansion through the back door and went to Ziluoyuan, and passed Yue Yu's words to Gu Qing'er, so that she could relax, and gave the antidote package to Dongcao to suffer, when she was about to go out, she heard Gu Qing'er asking from behind Said: "Miss is smart, did you think of who hurt me? Is it the one from the Okra Courtyard?"

Yu Ruyan didn't tell her what was in her heart, but said coldly: "I don't know who poisoned you, but now the doctor has said that the dose of the medicine is harmless to the fetus, you can just drink the antidote at ease, trust me It won't take long for your body to return to normal. Don't worry about other things for now, just take care of your baby!"

Passing the garden and walking towards Yunsong Courtyard, I suddenly saw the flower garden full of people. When I walked over to take a look, I saw the servants digging up the precious peonies and peonies one by one with a shovel, and then planted new flower seedlings.What she didn't expect was that Mu Lingzhi was also in the crowd. Seeing her coming, he stood in front of the flowerbed with his arms around her slender waist, pointed at the newly planted flower seedlings and said with a smile, "These are all rose jasmine seedlings. Do you still like it?"

Seeing that the beautiful peonies and peony were dug up, Yu Ruyan wondered: "Your Highness, these flowers are blooming well, why did you suddenly dig them up? These are very precious and famous products!"

Seeing her surprised face, Mu Lingzhi smiled knowingly, pinched her nose fondly and said with a smile: "No matter how beautiful flowers you don't like, it's useless. I used to see you picking them outside every day in the military camp. Jasmine from Wild Rose Mountain came back, so I planted all kinds of jasmines and roses in this flower garden, and plant them now, and they will bloom in summer. Do you like it?"

Yu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat, she never thought that Mu Lingzhi went to great lengths to modify the flower garden just to please her.Such a sudden favor made her unable to react for a long time, she stared blankly at the flower seedlings in front of her, feeling extremely shocked in her heart!

After a long time, she came back to her senses and said with surprise on her face, "I——like it very much."

It doesn't matter what kind of flowers you plant, the most important thing is his true love for himself!
Finally, after experiencing so many hardships and sorrows, she finally waited for her long-term love!

She looked up at Mu Lingzhi's deep eyes, her eyes were sore and uncomfortable, and she said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness, thank you for your sincerity, I... I can be treated like this by His Royal Highness, I just let the servants go Death, servants are content."

She didn't know what language to use to express her inner feelings, and she spoke incoherently. Mu Lingzhi's heart froze when he heard the words. The flower garden is worth it to you..."

He felt sorry for her, gently caressed her smooth cheeks with his slender fingers, fixedly looked into her eyes, and said helplessly, "Your temperament makes people... never begging or making trouble. , a little favor is so touching, and being so strong and sensible makes people feel distressed—makes my heart ache!"

Yu Ruyan was stunned by Mu Lingzhi's sudden words. She stared blankly at the man in front of her who was full of pity for her, and her heart was boiling with heat. The sadness of the past and the sweetness of the present all rushed to her heart, and she was moved to the point of saying: She couldn't speak, but looked at his doting gaze and couldn't bear to move her eyes away.

After a long time, she heard her ethereal voice, "Your Highness...you are so kind to me, how can I repay you?"

Mu Lingzhi took her both hands, opened his palms and carefully looked at the criss-crossing scars in her palms, caressing them painstakingly, and said slowly: "I have always suspected that you are the fifth princess of Qi, until you were in the military camp. After you passed out, I saw your hands—"

"Your hands are the ugliest hands I've ever seen, full of scars and calluses, not at all what my daughter's house should look like. But they are the most memorable and distressing hands for me."

"I know you must have suffered a lot... so I want to say, I can't participate in your past, but in your future, I will definitely - stay with you to the end!"

His sonorous and firm words shone into her gloomy heart like the warmest sunshine, a heart seemed to jump out of her heart frenziedly, and there was a voice in her heart urging: Quick, tell him your true identity now!

Yu Ruyan swallowed hard, and she was about to break her mouth when she reached her mouth, but she really didn't want to spoil each other's interest in such a rare moment of love, so she pointed at Hua Miao in front of her and looked up at Mu Ling Zhi, with bright eyes, said affectionately: "Looking at the flower seedlings in this nursery, I can't wait for summer to come soon. I think, by then, this place will become a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers, full of fragrance. Butterfly dances in pairs, Your Highness, you must accompany me to see the flowers!"

"Not just you and me, but one more person!" Mu Lingzhi said with a smile in his eyes, but his expression was extremely serious.

"Who else?" Yu Ruyan looked at him in a daze.

"And our child!" Mu Lingzhi's tone was firm, seeing her astonished and shy expression, he straightened his face and said coldly: "You owe me a son, don't you know?"

"what······"

Before she could recover from her astonishment, Mu Lingzhi suddenly picked her up and walked quickly to Yunsong Courtyard. Along the way, he bumped into countless maidservants, and everyone was shocked to see His Highness holding Yu Ruyan in person. Envious, the news spread throughout the palace in less than half a moment.

Yu Ruyan buried her face in Mu Lingzhi's arms in shame, blushing to the point of bleeding, and kept begging Mu Lingzhi to put her down, but he strode towards Yunsong Courtyard as if he couldn't hear her.

Going straight to the main room, he threw her on the bed, pressed her on top, and smiled evilly, "It seems that for our son, we have to work harder..."

The red tent was rolling, and affection was flying. After the cloud and rain, Mu Lingzhi hugged her tightly in his arms, and whispered to her ear: "Men like three wives and four concubines, but I only want to find the love of my life. Now With you, other women are no longer women in my eyes, with you, I seem to have the whole world. An and the others are a foregone conclusion, but I assure you, there will be no newcomers in the palace in the future. "

Seeing his extremely serious appearance, Yu Ruyan's eyes became sour again. It is not unusual for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that he is still an extremely noble prince, and three thousand beauties in the harem are no exaggeration, but he is willing to give up for her. All the beauty in the world is the only one who dotes on her!
She looked at him moved, her watery eyes seemed to be full of stars falling from the sky, she cupped his cheek and pressed her deep kiss on his cheek, her voice was firm and affectionate——

"I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated!"

In fact, after returning to the palace from the military camp, every time she went to sleep with Mu Lingzhi, she never asked someone to prepare her with contraceptive decoction.But after such a long time, Mu Zhi seldom spends the night in other courtyards, and basically stays in Yunsong Courtyard, but her body has not moved at all...

Early the next morning, Yu Ruyan came to Wuwei Medical Center by car, but after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered. It’s over, the older doctor and the others all moved out last night, and there is no one in the yard.”

Yu Ruyan's heart was empty, and she panicked inexplicably. Although she had known Yue Yu for a long time, she didn't know where his home was. Every time she wanted to find him, she would habitually come to Wuwei Medical Center, but now the medical center is closed. , where is she going to find him?
She ran to Jinli Inn to ask the shopkeeper where Yue Yu's house was?But the shopkeeper was also at a loss, he didn't know where the Yue family was?

Mu Lingzhi once mentioned to her that Yue Yu was a very mysterious businessman, his identity was a mystery, and he had little contact with the outside world. There were only a few rumors about his identity from the outside world. No information at all.

Standing on the busy street, looking at the continuous flow of people in front of her, Yu Ruyan was at a loss in her heart. It was only at this moment that she realized that she really knew very little about Yue Yu, apart from knowing his name, how old was he?Where are you from?She has no idea where her home is!

There seemed to be a vacancy in her heart, Yue Yu was her first friend in Daliang, she had always taken good care of her, now that he suddenly disappeared, her heart was suddenly vacant, the sky is big, the earth is big, where did he go where?Why did you leave quietly without saying a word?
Xiao Dao couldn't bear Yue Yu's disappearance like this, but after seeing Yu Ruyan's disappointed expression, he couldn't help persuading him: "Sister, Brother Yue may have traveled far away on business. Don't worry, as long as you know where his shop is, One day we will find him."

After hearing what Xiaodao said, Yu Ruyan felt a little relieved, yes, as long as she knows where his shop is, she will always find a way to find him again, and she still owes him so much kindness... ·

After staying in the street for a long time, she had no choice but to go to other clinics to see a doctor.The doctor took her pulse and told her that the reason why she has not conceived is because her uterus is too cold. Only by raising the uterus first can she have a chance to conceive.

She bought a lot of medicine and went back home. She didn't want Mu Lingzhi to worry about her. She thought that Brother An was in good health anyway, and she didn't have to go out of the house every day. She had time, so she quietly took the medicine to the bungalow and boiled it by herself. drink.

After drinking the medicine from the bungalow, walk back through the long corridor, there is a beautiful woman in plain clothes standing in front of the newly planted flower garden, but An Lan is standing there looking at the new seedlings in the flower garden, Yu Ruyan can't avoid it When they bumped into her, An Lan put away the gloom in her eyes, put on a plain expression and said with a smile, "I heard that His Highness worked hard to open up a new flower garden for my younger sister. I came here to have a look."

Xian Xianyu pointed to the delicate seedlings in the flower garden and smiled: "The seedlings are growing really well. The winter has passed, and the sun is getting warmer. This kind of good weather is most suitable for the growth of flowers and trees, but it has been a few days." She has grown more than half of her height, and her soaring momentum is very similar to how my younger sister is now favored. I am afraid that it won't be long before my younger sister will be able to take the top spot in the palace. I am here to congratulate my younger sister in advance."

There are many meanings in her words, Yu Ruyan said calmly: "The flower garden is in this garden, anyone can see the flowers planted by His Highness, in fact, they are not planted for me alone, so there is nothing to celebrate of!"

She bowed and continued to walk forward, An Lan's voice slowly sounded from behind: "Two days ago, the steward of the mansion came to report to me, saying that His Royal Highness authorized Ziluo Yuan to set up a small kitchen, does my sister know?"

Yu Ruyan turned her head and said with a faint smile: "I only work in Yunsong Courtyard, and never ask about other matters in the mansion, so I haven't heard anything about Ziluo Courtyard."

"Heh, His Royal Highness has never been to Ziluoyuan since it was closed. I haven't set up a small kitchen for her for such a long time. Why did I suddenly think of this? My sister walks in the garden all day long, and Ziluoyuan is in the garden. On the side, I thought, could it be that my sister saw something and told His Highness that His Highness fell in love with Zi Luoyuan?"

Without waiting for Yu Ruyan to reply to her, she stepped forward step by step, stared at Yu Ruyan and said coldly: "But in just a few days, my sister forgot the appointment?"

Yu Ruyan sneered, and also said indifferently: "The appointment that day was all Auntie's wishful thinking, I disagree, so..."

Before she finished speaking, An Lan laughed angrily, cut off her words and said coldly: "Don't think that I really have to rely on you. I just want to advise you, take care of your own affairs, keep your favorite, and be careful. It's better to be careful about your own backyard and watch out for fires if you don't mind your own business."

Her cold and sinister eyes pierced Yu Ruyan like a sharp knife. She was never afraid of such a threat, but today she felt inexplicably flustered...

The first day of March is Mu Lingzhi's birthday, and he had asked her for a birthday gift long ago. Yu Ruyan was very embarrassed, thinking that as a prince, he had never seen such luxury treasures as gold, silver and jewelry, so she racked her brains. I haven't thought of what to give him for several days. If I give him clothes for embroidery like other aunts and wives, I guess he will embroider her into clothes and hang them up!

It wasn't until the third day before her birthday that she racked her brains to think of a gift for him, so she left the house before dawn.

She went out early and returned late every day. Mu Lingzhi asked her what she was busy with in a strange way. She refused to say, but just smiled mysteriously at him. I didn't ask any more questions, and secretly looked forward to it in my heart.

Early in the morning on the first day of March, Mu Lingzhi entered the palace.Every year on his birthday, he would spend noon in Concubine Xie's palace with his father, mother and concubine, and at night he would go back to his palace to spend it with the female relatives in the mansion, and this year is no exception.

After sending him out, Yu Ruyan also rushed to the sugar man's shop non-stop.After thinking for a long time, she realized that she would make a sugar figurine for Mu Lingzhi herself.

In the three days, the first two days were spent learning the craft from the master, but the second day had to rush to make twelve different sugar figurines, which was really difficult for her as a beginner.

The twelve sugar figurines she wants to make are all Mu Ling. It's just that he looks different at different times. There is his majesty when he is wearing armor, and there is also the casual nature of him drinking tea and taking a nap in casual clothes, or he is strolling around. The chic and handsome...
The twelve sugar figures condensed all the images of him in her heart. While pinching the sugar figures seriously, she recalled the many pasts between them.Thinking of Mu Lingzhi's surprise when he saw her gift, she was so excited that she wished she could take the gift back and show him right away.

She had been busy from morning until the sun was setting, her back was sore, her hands were scalded with sugar water, and she had blisters on her hands, but when she thought of Mu Lingzhi's surprise when she got this gift, her exhaustion disappeared immediately, and the rest The only thing left is sweet happiness.

When the last sugar figurine was ready, she carefully took the twelve sugar figurines and hurried to the palace. By this time, Mu Lingzhi might have returned.

Back in the mansion, the hall in front has been decorated with lights and festoons, red candles are hanging high, maids and servants are busy shuttling through it one by one.Yu Ruyan walked towards Yunsong Courtyard with the box in which the sugar figurine was installed in her hand.

I don't know if it's because the servants are all busy in the front, the Yunsong Courtyard is very quiet today, so quiet that she heard the heart-pounding panting before she reached the bedroom...
She is no stranger to such panting sounds. She stood at the door in a daze, at a loss, but the door of the bedroom was not closed. Through the half-open door, she clearly saw the two figures intertwined on the bed. The one is of course Mu Lingzhi, but the girl... the girl is actually Chen Yanfei who has only been in Yunsong Courtyard for a few days!

It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded above her head, leaving only a blank space in her mind...

After an unknown amount of time, the noises in the room had stopped, but she had been standing there in a daze, unable to move. She really wanted to escape from here, but her whole body seemed to be immobilized as if someone had cast a spell on her. The other women rained on Wushan in front of her, and the pain in her heart made her feel overwhelmed...
