After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

After Queen Zheng was driven to Anfu Palace, Xiao Chengji was in a good mood for several days.

He knew that the emperor was preparing an edict to depose the empress.

There was no movement from Queen Mother Zheng and she was pretending to be sick.

I heard that old man Zheng Can's health has been failing. He was still seeing people visiting him a few days ago, but now he has not been seeing anyone for some time.

After Xiao Chengji was made the crown prince, he was in high spirits in the court.

The same thing happened when I got home.

He was celibate for almost a whole year, and he never touched Yan Yu from the time she became pregnant until she gave birth.

These days, after returning home at night, Yan Yu couldn't get out of bed at all.

Xiao Chengji had endured for so long, so naturally he could do whatever he wanted during this period of time to make up for what he had not gotten in the past few days.

However, before the edict to depose the empress came down, news came from the front line that shocked the whole country.

The Emperor of Cang State personally led the army to fight. In the first battle between the two sides, General Weiyuan Ma Gong was killed, the north of Haijiang River was lost, and the morale of the Cang State army was high as they prepared to march south.

Now the court was abuzz with discussions on the matter, with civil officials and military officers arguing with each other.

The early winter night was extremely quiet, and a thin layer of snow was falling outside.

It was not until the second watch of the night that Xiao Chengji wiped the sweat from Yan Yu's forehead.

She had just fainted once, her eyes were slightly red, her eyelashes were wet with tears, and she looked pitiful.

Xiao Chengji asked the maid to bring in some water.

While they were changing the beds, he took Yan Yu to take a hot bath.

Yan Yu had no strength left at all and leaned limply in Xiao Chengji's arms. She was soon awakened by the hot air.

Xiao Chengji bent down and kissed her. Yan Yu was a little breathless in the water and struggled slightly to the side.

Xiao Chengji immediately grabbed her and held Yan Yu's face and looked at it for a long time.

Yan Yu felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, and her ears gradually turned red: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Xiao Chengji said, "How did you feel just now?"

Yan Yu's cheeks turned even redder. She pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.

Xiao Chengji stood up from the water with a splash.

He has always maintained a good figure. Even though he has not been to the battlefield in recent years, he still maintains the habits of his youth every day and has not neglected his martial arts because of his comfortable life.

Xiao Chengji was extremely tall and strong, and the water drops slid down his well-defined chest and abdominal muscles. He changed his clothes, took a thin velvet blanket, carried Yan Yu out of the water and wrapped him up.

Yan Yu was now tired and sleepy, and yawned lazily in his arms: "I always felt that you were not very happy these two days. Your people have been running around, but you didn't say anything when asked. Did something happen?"

These days, Xiao Chengji always bothered her at night, causing Yan Yu to have no energy at all during the day. She spent most of the time sleeping and had no energy to inquire about things.

Xiao Chengji asked everyone in the mansion to hide the war with Cang State from Yan Yu to prevent her from recalling some unpleasant past events.

Xiao Chengji changed some cotton yarn to wipe Yan Yu dry, kissed her on the forehead, and put her back on the bed: "Nothing."

He took the soft silk robe beside him and put it on Yan Yu: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Yan Yu nodded.

She was indeed a little hungry now and wanted to eat something before going to bed.

The fire in the kitchen was still on and the porridge was soon served.

Yan Yu slowly stirred the porridge in the bowl, and after a while he took a sip of the bowl.

Seeing her hesitating, Xiao Chengji couldn't help but sigh, took the bowl from her hand, and fed her a little bit with a spoon.

Only then did Yan Yu take a bite.

Xiao Chengji saw that she had eaten half a bowl of porridge, handed her some tea to rinse her mouth, and carried her back to bed.

Although she was very sleepy just now, Yan Yu was no longer sleepy this time. She leaned in Xiao Chengji's arms and said, "You just didn't tell me something."

Xiao Chengji held Yan Yu's face and looked at him for a long time: "I saw you when you were little."

Yan Yu couldn't remember it. She thought for a long time: "Really? Where?"

"In front of Shoukang Palace." Xiao Chengji's voice was low and hoarse. "At that time, I admired your father very much. I always wanted to be a man like your father who expanded the country's territory. One time I heard that his wife brought her daughter to the palace to see the queen mother, so I came to see it."

In fact, Xiao Chengji couldn't remember what Yan Yu looked like when he was a child. He only remembered that he was very white, as cold as ice and snow, and his appearance and temperament were very weak.

"I asked my father if he could marry you to me, and he said you had already been promised to Xiao Jiashan."

Yan Yu said "Oh", but she really couldn't remember the scene at that time and thought Xiao Chengji was dreaming.

Xiao Chengji said: "Later, your father and brother died in battle, and I was very sad."

Yan Yu's eyes instantly turned red. She already knew what Xiao Chengji wanted to say, so she raised her hand and covered his lips: "Don't mention this, I don't want to hear it."

Xiao Chengji held Yan Yu's wrist and slowly took her hand away.

Yan Yu suddenly sat up: "Zhao Nu must have woken up, I heard him crying. Did you know that the nurse said he can roll over and crawl someday, you should go and have a look."

It was only the fourth watch at this time and there was no sign of daybreak, especially on a winter night. Apart from the sound of falling snow, there was no other sound outside.

Xiao Chengji held Yan Yu in his arms: "I don't want to see him now, I just want to see you, let's talk together."

Yan Yu's eyes were moist and she leaned motionlessly in his arms.

Xiao Chengji stroked her soft, thick long hair: "Later, my father said that Xiao Jiashan and Wei had an affair. I thought it was ridiculous for you to marry me."

Because apart from the fact that he had no intention of marrying Yan Yu when he was a child, Xiao Chengji had never considered getting married over the years.

Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, they ended up together.

Yan Yu said: "Of course we are destined to be together."

Xiao Chengji smiled and said, "Then I will leave for a while to avenge your parents and brother and take back our territory, okay?"

In an instant, Yan Yu felt the blood in his body run cold and he couldn't help trembling.

She knew that Xiao Chengji was not discussing with her, but telling her the established facts. He has always been a very tough person, and no one can change the big decision he has made.

Xiao Chengji said: "Tens of thousands of people in Qiushi City were massacred, General Weiyuan is dead, and his head is hung on the gate of Qiushi City. I will go and avenge them."
