Get pregnant soon, and beauties will have many happy pregnancies

Ji Yunhuan knew what people outside would talk about without even listening. It was rare for women in the capital to divorce, and returning home divorced would bring shame to the husband's family. It was also difficult for a woman at home to propose marriage, and if she was divorced by her husband's family, it would be a crime punishable by hanging herself.

Even if the Queen Mother issued an imperial decree for divorce, in the eyes of many people, Ji Yunhuan was abandoned by Prince Rui and would never be able to face anyone in her life.

Ji Yunhuan smiled indifferently, "I don't care about these, Aunt Song, don't be sad, Huan'er is living a good life now."

The Queen Mother ordered people to present many portraits and said with great interest, "Huan'er, take a quick look. Is there anything you like?"

"I have thought a lot these days. I really shouldn't have let you marry Rui'er. Although he is my grandson, it was wrong for him to remarry. It's a pity that the emperor is such a filthy guy. He only knows how to protect him. I can only scold him to vent my anger."

"In the past, I thought he was a filial child, caring, and taking good care of you. He was gentle and gentle. Although he was not good at martial arts, he was good at writing and respected military commanders. I always praised him in front of the emperor. I don't know how he became like this now? I am really angry!"

After all, Yuwen Rui was the empress dowager's grandson, so Ji Yunhuan just smiled and didn't respond.

The Queen Mother ordered someone to open the portraits. "These are all talented young men in the capital. I have spent a long time selecting them. They are all handsome and talented. I have your back. If they dare to treat you badly, I have plenty of ways to deal with them. They dare not treat you badly."

"I don't mean any other thing. I just worry that you'll be bored staying in the room. I'll hold a banquet tomorrow and invite some girls of similar age to have fun together."

Ji Yunhuan knew that the Queen Mother wanted to cheer her up, but she had no intention of doing so at the moment. She had already decided to go to Jiayuguan.

After spending a day with the Queen Mother in the palace, Ji Yunhuan announced to the public that he was "sick".

She fell ill every other day, but the empress dowager did not suspect anything. She ordered people to send a lot of medicinal herbs and gave her a lot of things as rewards, asking Ji Yunhuan to take good care of herself and hold the banquet after she recovered.

After the eunuchs in the palace left, Liu Xuer lifted the thin gauze curtain on the bed and asked excitedly, "Did I act well just now? Did I fool them?"

Ji Yunhuan came out from behind the screen, smiled and nodded, "It's completely invisible through the veil. I don't see any guests anyway, so it's enough to deal with it."

Yueying stuck to Ji Yunhuan like a sticky candy, holding the lady's hand reluctantly, "Miss, can't you really take Yueying with you? It will be a hard journey with flying sand and rocks. Yueying can take care of you."

Ji Yunhuan touched Yueying's head and said, "No, you have to stay and guard the Duke's Mansion. If King Rui sends someone over, Yueying will have to deal with it."

"I will leave a group of secret guards in the Duke's Mansion. If anyone causes trouble, just beat them out. The Duke's Mansion is not afraid of anyone. Repair the house, renovate the garden, buy medicinal herbs, everything will be as usual until I come back."

"Uncle Wu and I will set off tonight. If things go well, we will arrive in eight or nine days. If everything goes well, the round trip will take less than a month. It is normal for me to be sick for a month."

That night, Ji Yunhuan arranged everything, packed his luggage, and set off overnight.

The further north they went, the colder the weather became. Ji Yunhuan wrapped herself in a white fox scarf, but the cold wind still blew in. She opened her mouth and the cold wind blew in her face. She felt as if she had inhaled a belly full of sand and gravel, and even her throat was about to smoke.

Ji Yunhuan saw a blurry city wall in the distance, just like seeing an oasis in the desert. He was very excited, "Uncle Wu! Are we at Jiayuguan... cough cough... What a strong wind..."

"Whoa~" Wu Jie pulled the horse, and Ji Yunhuan's horse also stopped, being particularly well-behaved.

In addition to the two horses they were riding, they also brought two spare horses. They traveled almost day and night. Ji Yunhuan had never left the capital in this life or the previous one. It was the first time for him to ride such a long distance, and it was extremely painful.

Wu Jie handed Ji Yunhuan a pot of water and said with a smile, "We haven't arrived yet. This is Shanhaiguan."

Ji Yunhuan gulped down half a pot of water and became completely exhausted. "Why haven't we arrived yet? Jiayuguan is so far away."

"After Shanhaiguan, you will reach Jiayuguan, but the road ahead will be more difficult. You must be mentally prepared. I didn't allow you to come, but you insisted on coming to suffer. But it's good to come and see the place where your parents guarded. The people here must still remember your parents."

"The border is relatively stable now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought you here even if you were throwing a tantrum."

Wu Jie dismounted and said, "Let's rest here tonight and enter Jiayu Pass early tomorrow morning."

The two men led four horses to the city gate.

Compared to the wilderness along the way, this place is quite prosperous. There is a long queue at the city gate. Because it is a border area, the search is particularly thorough.

Ahead of Ji Yunhuan was a caravan, whose carts were loaded with blood-stained furs, some animal skulls, strange-shaped ornaments, and even large pieces of raw stones.

Ji Yunhuan saw the soldiers guarding the city opening and checking the boxes one by one. She had never seen these things in the capital and found them very strange.

Wu Jie brought Ji Yunhuan out, not expecting Ji Yunhuan to be of any help, but just to bring her out to relax so that Huan'er wouldn't hear those rumors in the capital.

Once you have seen the world, you will not be trapped in a corner and complain about yourself.

Wu Jie explained in a low voice: "These are the specialties of Wujin Country. After the great victory at Jiayuguan three years ago, the two sides stopped fighting and opened up trade. However, the situation on both sides is still very tense, and the trade is strictly controlled. For example, we will not let any piece of iron enter Wujin Country."

"The Wujin Kingdom has a lot of minerals, but its smelting technology is not up to standard. The weapons they produce are not as good as ours, so we can only seek help from the surrounding small countries. They also have a lot of jade, but unfortunately they don't have good craftsmen, so they can only sell the raw stones to us in exchange for some food, cloth, porcelain, tea and other things."

"Things from Chen Country are very valuable in Wujin Country. These merchants can make a lot of money from this trip."

Ji Yunhuan felt that these people were a little strange and did not look like businessmen.

She managed the household business and had dealt with many businessmen, all of whom were kind and tactful. However, these people looked sinister and did not have the friendliness of businessmen at all.

Moreover, the goods were piled up in a mess. Which merchant wouldn't want to load more goods? But they wanted a box to be half empty.

Perhaps the customs of the people of Wujin are different, and the merchants are tall and strong and don't care about details. Ji Yunhuan had never seen the merchants of Wujin before, so it was not easy for him to make any comments. He directly told the soldiers guarding the city that there was something wrong with these people.

I can only wait until I enter the city and then find a chance to discuss with Uncle Wu to see whether I should report to the police.
