Yu Wan looked at the side of the bed. It was empty. “They woke up quite early…”
“Young Madam, how do you feel?” Zi Su lifted the curtain and looked at Yu Wan worriedly.
Yu Wan looked at her strangely. “Why are you looking at me like that?” After a pause, she realized something and asked, “How long have I been sleeping?”
“A day and a night,” Zi Su said. “It’s almost evening.”
It was the light of evening. She thought it was morning… Yu Wan sat up with Zi Su’s help and muttered, “Why did I sleep for so long?”
Yan Jiuchao entered the room. The three fat children also walked in with tears in their eyes and threw themselves into her arms.
The older the children were, the more sensible they became. They were not as easy to coax as when they were two years old. Yan Jiuchao told them that Yu Wan had just fallen asleep, but in their eyes, their mother, who woke up early every day, suddenly did not get up. This was something wrong. It was useless no matter what others said.
“I’m fine.” Yu Wan smiled and rubbed their heads. She was indeed fine. She was really just sleepy. She did not feel any discomfort.
The three little fellows widened their black eyes.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “I’m really fine. I’m just tired and want to sleep.”
Zi Su was stunned. As expected of a husband and wife, their excuses coincided.
The three little fatties were successfully appeased and let Zi Su bring them out. Only Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao were left in the room.
Yan Jiuchao’s expression was a little indescribable.
Yu Wan blinked strangely. “What’s wrong? Could it be that there’s a bolt from the blue?”
Yan Jiuchao thought seriously. “Oh, you can say that.”
Yu Wan immediately thought of the situation she had been in recently. Her first reaction was that she had been tricked. Her expression changed drastically. “I’m really pregnant?”
“No,” Yan Jiuchao said.
Yu Wan heaved a sigh of relief.
“Yu Ah Wan!” Yan Jiuchao’s face darkened. “How much do you not want to be pregnant with my children?!”
Speaking of which, the first thing she thought of was pregnancy!
Young Master Yan was very angry!
“Da Bao and Er’bao are still young. I’m just afraid of neglecting them. Of course I’m willing to have children with you…” Yu Wan explained guiltily.
Yan Jiuchao snorted. “No wonder you’re so eager every night!”
Yu Wan : “…”
Could they still be husband and wife happily?
“Then what is it?” Yu Wan returned to the topic.
Yan Jiuchao said without changing his expression, “The imperial physician came to take a look. He said that your body is exhausted.”
This was a bolt from the blue, okay? Her body was depleted at such a young age. Fortunately, she was discovered in time. Otherwise, it would be bad if she fell ill in the long term.
Yu Wan looked at him in confusion. “I didn’t do farm work.”
Yan Jiuchao continued, “It has nothing to do with farm work. You’re young and can’t withstand too strong a demand.”
In other words, she was overindulging and had to reduce her sex life?
Yu Wan blushed and said, “Then… then let’s do it once every four days?”
Yan Jiuchao did not say anything.
Yu Wan was stunned. “Five days?”
Yan Jiuchao moved his fingers. “Ten days.”
Yu Wan lay down hopelessly. “It’s… it’s really a bolt from the blue…”
In the side palace, Helian Qi also woke up faintly. Although the Gu poison in his body had been cleared by the State Preceptor, the damage to his body was not so easily healed. His internal energy was half of his peak state, and he would not be able to recover in three to five years.
Thinking about how he had lost so much internal energy just by teasing a little maidservant… Of course, there was also his dignity. Helian Qi was furious. If it were in Nanzhao, he would have long found the culprit, but it was in the territory of the Great Zhou!
However, even if he didn’t investigate, he could guess who it was. He had just threatened Yan Jiuchao, and now he had attracted such a disaster. He didn’t believe that Yan Jiuchao didn’t cause trouble!
Perhaps he had even planned for that little maidservant to lure him in!
“General, I happened to hear something.” General Wei Yuan’s subordinate entered the room to report.
“What is it?” Helian Qi said coldly.
The subordinate said, “I was originally going to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to investigate the culprit, but I accidentally heard that Mrs. Yan is the second boss there.”
In that case, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was considered half of the Young Master Manor’s territory. It seemed that the culprit was really Yan Jiuchao.
Helian Qi gritted his teeth and said, “Yan Jiuchao, since you dare to do this, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
There was a hunting garden on the west side of the palace that housed all kinds of ferocious beasts. Every autumn, the Emperor would bring his relatives and ministers into the courtyard to hunt. Although it was early summer, the Emperor had opened the hunting garden in advance in order to better entertain the envoys of the two countries.
