Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Chapter 257 Mixed joys and sorrows

For three days, Ji Qi did not return to his bedroom. Even his attendants did not know where he had gone.

Mu Yao looked calm on the outside, but her mind was filled with a thousand thoughts.

The deadlock was not broken until the fourth day.

Late at night, Ji Qi sat by the bed, looking carefully at the beautiful girl who was sleeping soundly, his eyes filled with melancholy.

The aroma of wine filled her nose. The beauty Chunshan frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

"Have you been drinking?" Mu Yao sat up from the bed, took his big hand, and asked worriedly.

"I drank a little, it's okay." Ji Qi's eyes were gloomy and his tone was indifferent.

The two were silent for a moment. Mu Yao took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty: "Aqi, I should go back to Dayun."

"Are you so sure that the child is Yu Heng's?" Ji Qi asked unwillingly, feeling depressed.

"I'm not sure, so I'm in a hurry to go back."

"Can you be sure when you go back?" Ji Qi was confused.

"Yu Heng must know." This question was beyond her ability for the time being, but Yu Heng might be able to answer it. She had to go back no matter what.

Ji Qi’s smile was brighter than the river, and his voice suddenly stopped as if he had become hoarse.

After a while, he asked, "What if the child is mine?"

"Then I will go back to Southern Xinjiang and stay by your side so you can rest assured and wait for the birth of your baby." Mu Yao promised without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Ji Qi felt deeply conflicted.

He thought over and over again, closed his eyes, swallowed his bitterness and said, "Okay, I'll have someone send you back tomorrow."

For him, the heir is of vital importance. The royal bloodline cannot be confused in the slightest, so he must confirm it as soon as possible.

The king was serious and the next morning, the carriage that was to escort Mu Yao back to Dayun was ready to go.

Rong Xianyi, Lan Yan, Xian Ning and Lu Shen were all in the escort team. In addition, there were two old men who also accompanied them.

Mu Yao recognized one of them, it was Senior Wen Qingshan. When Ji Qi took her back to Southern Xinjiang that day, he was in the team.

There was another person Mu Yao met for the first time.

He was over eight feet tall, and his indigo robe perfectly accentuated his sturdy figure.

His white hair was tied up high, his forehead was full and covered with wrinkles, but he looked very heroic, with bright eyes, and he had not lost his charm at all because of his age.

The crescent-shaped scimitar in his hand shone with a brilliant silver light, and the blade was as cold as autumn frost, which made people shudder.

Lan Yan quietly told Mu Yao that the old man's name was He Dongyu, and he was the strongest blade in the emperor's hands. With He Lao's escort, everything would be fine.

The strongest blade?

Mu Yao opened her eyes slightly and observed secretly through the curtain. Suddenly, the other party turned his head and met her eyes. Suddenly, she felt an indescribable embarrassment and quickly sat up straight and lowered her eyelids.

He Dongyu raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head back calmly.

Along the way, he sensed the presence of several powerful men lurking around, but it seemed that they had no ill intentions. After some thought, he decided not to move for the time being.

Wei Wushang, Feng Chaoci and the others recognized the old man. They seemed to be unable to believe their eyes and consciously kept a safer distance.

The return journey was extremely smooth. The convoy deliberately slowed down its pace and it took fifteen days to reach Lanling County.

They took care of Mu Yao meticulously, even the temperature of the water for her tea was strictly controlled, for fear that she would get burned or chilled.

Rong Xianyi didn't understand why the emperor would send the empress back to Dayun at this critical juncture, but how could he guess the emperor's will at will?

When she arrived at Xiasi Garden, Wang Yanzhi was nowhere to be found. Li Changan told her that Shaoyou had moved to a new house two days ago. Wushang, Douxue and Jingchan were also there.

In addition, while Mu Yao was away, Xiao Douxue's parents and the Poison Valley master and his wife came to propose marriage separately. Li Changan readily agreed and even arranged the marriage invitation for her.

No matter when the wedding takes place, they are already the legal husbands of their daughters.

Now, among the ten sons-in-law, only Yu Heng has not come to propose marriage, and he has never even seen his true face. Thinking of this, Li Changan couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

"Dad, I'm pregnant." Mu Yao said with mixed feelings.

Everything was quiet all around.

Suddenly, Li Changan stood up from his chair, a fire burning in his heart, and his excitement was beyond words.

Is he going to be a grandfather?

"The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang? Good! Good! Good!"

Before he finished speaking, he excitedly stretched out his legs, walked around the room, and muttered to himself.

"Dad, it might not be Ji Qi's, so I rushed back. I think it might be Yu Heng's." Mu Yao shook her head helplessly. For her, as the first child, she hoped it would be Xu Qingcheng's.

"Dad, is Qingcheng back?" she asked suddenly.

Before Li Changan could recover from her previous words, he heard his daughter mention Qingcheng again, and the color of his old face changed again and again in an instant.

"I'm back, let's talk about him slowly. Dad wants to ask you, is there any way to confirm whose child the child belongs to?" Li Changan asked anxiously.

What do you mean, Dad? Is there something wrong with Qingcheng?

When my father mentioned that, I suddenly felt nervous.

"Yaoyao, Dad is asking you! Don't be distracted." Li Changan reminded.

"There is no good solution for now. It's just that I got pregnant after Yu Heng and I got together. It's still unbelievable when I think about it now. I always feel that the possibility of the child being his is greater."

"Dad, has Yu Heng also gone to the new house?" Mu Yao was anxious to see him.

"No. He should still be in the Rosewood Garden."

"By the way, speaking of Qingcheng, Dad told him about your idea, but he didn't agree. He's in a bad mood these days, so go find him later." Li Changan held his forehead inwardly. Qingcheng's aloof and arrogant personality made him ashamed. If he knew that his daughter was pregnant with her husband's child first, he would be even more angry.

Mu Yao's head was buzzing. She opened her mouth slightly, stared for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully.

Since he doesn't want to move to the new house, that's fine. It's not far from Xu's house, so I can just go there more often.

Driving to Guiqi Garden, Mu Yao saw Ji Qi's carriage heading towards the town center at the corner. Unconsciously, her mood became heavier.

When we arrived at the mansion, it was Li Yan who opened the door.

He threw himself into Mu Yao's arms excitedly, causing her heart to tremble. Fortunately, the force was not strong.

"Ali, my sister is pregnant. You can't pounce on her like that anymore. Do you understand?" She stroked the little bubble on Li Yan's head and said with a smile.

Li Yan suddenly raised his head and his eyes became dull.

"Is it the young master's?" he asked in a shocking tone.

Mu Yaofu blushed and shook her head.

"Is Yu Heng at home?" She quickly changed the subject.

"Brother Jiyun and Grandmaster are trying to help Master Zhuo to get the insect out of his body."

"Brother Jiyun?" she asked slightly surprised.

"Grandmaster said that Poison Valley and Qingnang Manor are one family, indistinguishable from each other. Grandmaster is my eldest brother." Li Yan replied with a smile, blinking his bright eyes.

Mu Yao felt that what Senior Gongsun said was very true. It seemed that she should also change her tone and follow Jingchan in calling him Grandmaster Uncle.

"Ali, I'll go to the main courtyard and wait. When they're ready, let Jiyun come find me."

"okay!"
