Deacon Jin said, "Mu Ling 'er, do you really want to be cheap? Fine, come with me! "
As he spoke, he grabbed Mu Ling 'er without any pity and dragged her all the way to his room.
Mu Ling 'er's heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest. She was in a daze and couldn't tell if this was reality or if she was dreaming.
She stared blankly as Deacon Jin locked the door and walked towards her with a violent expression.
She started to back away in fear. She started to realize the terrible consequences of agreeing to Deacon Jin's request. She started to regret it.
Suddenly, Deacon Jin strode over and took her hand.
She was about to speak, but Deacon Jin threw her onto the bed without any pity. Before she could get up, he was already on top of her.
Mu Ling 'er's face was pale, and she started to tremble uncontrollably. She almost shouted out that she regretted it.
However, she thought that if Deacon Jin took this secret to make a deal with Jun Yi Xie, all of them would be finished.
She had gotten into big trouble, and she couldn't drag everyone down with her!
She lay on the bed and looked at Deacon Jin in fear. She suddenly realized that this man was very unfamiliar and scary.
Deacon Jin didn't move for a long time and just stared at her.
She became more and more flustered, and finally, she couldn't help but cry. "J- Deacon Jin, can you change your conditions?"
"Didn't you agree?" Deacon Jin questioned.
"I beg you …" Mu Ling 'er's tears flowed down.
Deacon Jin suddenly punched the side of Mu Ling 'er's head. He roared, "Why did you agree if you were afraid? Why did you agree? Why don't you f * cking cherish yourself? How do you expect me to cherish you? "
As soon as he said that, Mu Ling 'er was stunned!
What did Deacon Jin say at the end? Did … did she hear wrongly?
She looked at Deacon Jin in confusion and fear. She suddenly realized that she could not see this man clearly. She could not understand his words and did not know what he wanted to do.
She shrank back into the bed and curled into a ball, looking at him warily. She only felt that this man was like a crazy beast.
Deacon Jin was also stunned. He looked at Mu Ling'er and saw the confusion in Mu Ling'er's eyes. He immediately avoided her gaze.
For a moment, the two of them were quiet. The huge room was so quiet that it was like a silent world.
In the end, it was Deacon Jin who spoke first. His voice was deeper than ever as he said, "Leave."
Mu Ling'er did not dare to move. Deacon Jin stood up and retreated to the side.
Only then did Mu Ling'er carefully get off the bed. Once she was far enough away from Deacon Jin's reach, she broke into a run. However, when she reached the door, she stopped.
"About the pregnancy …"
Before she could finish speaking, Deacon Jin said Coldly, "Owe it to me first! Scram! "
Mu Ling'er looked at him timidly and fearfully. She did not move.
"Aren't you going to scram?" Deacon Jin said angrily.
Mu Ling'er still did not move. Deacon Jin finally turned to look at her and said coldly, "I know how to write the word 'trust'. You should scram as soon as possible! "
Mu Ling'er did not know how she escaped back to the courtyard. She did not dare to enter the room for fear that she would disturb Ning Jing and Ning Jing would discover that something was wrong.
She sat alone in the corner of the room, thinking about how things had turned out this way. As she thought about it, she could not help but cry. She missed Qi Brother. She missed her sister. She missed them so much …
After Mu Ling'er left, Deacon Jin sat on the bed in a daze until dawn. He only woke up when he heard Tiger Roar's voice from outside.
The tiger in Tiger's Den roared three times a day in the morning, afternoon, and night, as if warning them not to have any thoughts of escaping.
Deacon Jin washed his face with cold water, went out, and leaped onto the roof. He listened carefully to the Tiger Roar's voice. Every time the Tiger Roar roared, he would listen carefully.
He did not know why, but he found the Tiger Roar's voice somewhat familiar. He remembered that he had never seen a tiger before, let alone heard the Tiger Roar's voice. It was the first time he had seen the king of the jungle, the tiger.
He did not feel the threat in Tiger Roar's voice. Instead, he felt a sense of intimacy and relaxation. As he listened, his terrible mood from last night seemed to have gradually calmed down by quite a bit.
In the following days, Deacon Jin did not see Mu Ling'er. Mu Ling'er also did not wander around the garden. The events of that night seemed to have never been discovered. However, the two of them remembered the promise they had made that night.
Gu was currently on his way to Medicine City. He had long been forgotten by Mu Ling'er. Tang Li, on the other hand, was the complete opposite.
Ning Jing's letter had told him to control his impulses and obediently wait for winter and spring at the Three-Way Black Market.
Apart from helping with matters at East Origin Hall and arranging for the Tang Sect to create hidden weapons for the East Qin army, he spent almost all of his time preparing for the return of Ning Jing and their child.
He hired a group of old maids to prepare all kinds of clothes for Ning Jing and their child. He even prepared a thick booklet. Every day, he would ask Gu Beiyue questions about women giving birth and postpartum confinement. As long as Gu Beiyue gave an answer, he would write it down without missing a word.
He even had Gu Beiyue make a long list of medicinal herbs to nourish Ning Jing's body after giving birth. According to the list, he would either send people to Medicine City, Medicine Ghost Valley, or search all over Cloud Realm Continent. Or he would personally post a reward in the black market.
That night, Tang Li had just finished a day's work. Seeing Gu Beiyue still sitting in the courtyard, he ran over.
"Doctor Gu, introduce a few midwives and medical girls to me. I'll arrange for them to go to the Tang Sect first," Tang Li said seriously.
Gu Beiyue would never laugh at Tang Li for preparing too early, nor would he mention how annoying Tang Li was. He knew that if Tang Li wasn't so busy, he might've run off to Northern Li long ago.
Gu Beiyue knew how to treat illnesses, and he knew how to heal the heart.
He was the only one he couldn't heal. Long Fei Ye only told him that the secret recipe for the Dragon Pill had been found and would be refined very soon. He didn't tell him about the Old Man Of Alchemy extorting Han Yunxi.
Ever since he knew there was hope for the recovery of his shadow arts, he would sit by himself every night, quietly waiting and waiting in anticipation.
"Alright, I'll have Vice Academy Head Shen arrange a few later," Gu Beiyue agreed readily.
Tang Li was overjoyed. "Thank you, thank you!"
"You're welcome," Gu Beiyue said lightly.
Tang Li sat down beside him and smiled. "Doctor Gu, you know so much. Whoever wants to be your wife in the future will be lucky."
Gu Beiyue was stunned, then he smiled. He just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Doctor Gu, you're not young anymore. When do you plan to get married? Do you have a girl you like? "Tang Li asked again.
Gu Beiyue was still smiling and didn't say anything.
Tang Li became serious. "Doctor Gu, you're the only descendant of the Shadow Clan. You have to hurry up and spread the Shadow Clan's bloodline."
Finally, Gu Beiyue stopped smiling. However, he still didn't say anything and just nodded.
Tang Li didn't notice his glance. He remembered something and quickly said, "Doctor Gu, if Ning Jing gives birth to a girl, let's name her Tang Jing. If she gives birth to a boy, let's name him Tang Ning. What do you think? "
Was everyone so excited about becoming a father? Did they have endless topics to talk about?
Gu Beiyue smiled faintly. "Tang Ning is fine, but Tang Jing and Ning Jing have the same name. It's not appropriate."
Tang Li only just realized this problem. He frowned and muttered to himself, "Then I'll have to think of something else."
"If it's a boy, let's name him Tang Ning. If it's a girl, let's let Ning Jing name her," Gu Beiyue couldn't help but say. "Leave some things for Ning Jing to worry about."
Tang Li smiled a little embarrassedly. He rubbed his nose and stood up. "Doctor Gu, it's getting late. You should get some rest!"
Gu Beiyue watched Tang Li leave and sat down again. He looked up at the crescent moon in the sky. There was a rare look of melancholy between his handsome brows. He was melancholy because of what Tang Li had just said.
He was the only descendant of the Shadow Clan. The bloodline of the Shadow Clan could not be broken!
On this mainland, there was another person who was even more melancholy than Gu Beiyue about the issue of having an heir. This person was none other than the ruler of Tian An, Long Tianmo.
Not long after the civil war in Northern Li broke out, Western Zhou's Emperor Kangcheng married Princess Duanmu Jin to Tian An. Tian An already had an empress, and Duanmu Jin was not a legitimate princess of Western Zhou. According to the rules and regulations, it was already an exception for Duanmu Jin to be conferred the title of Noble Consort.
However, Long Fei Ye did not confer her the title of Noble Consort. Instead, he conferred her the title of Imperial Noble Concubine, second only to the empress and assisting the empress in managing the Six Palaces.
If Tian An's harem was like before, with only three women — Mu Liuyue, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager — there would be nothing to worry about. At most, it would be Mu Liuyue and Duanmu Jin fighting one-on-one. In any case, the Empress Dowager had already gone crazy. She did not leave the house, and there was someone to take care of her. As for the Empress Dowager, she was already old and did not care much.
Long Tianmo had no choice but to hold a draft and choose thirty concubines in one go.
Four Noble Consorts, four Imperial Concubines, six Imperial Concubines, six Noble Personages, five Chang Zai, and five Ying Wangs filled up Tian An's harem.
There were people who joked that the next time the emperor held a draft, he would first expand his harem.
The more people there were, the more lively the harem would be, and the more lively the cliques would be. Mu Liuyue and Duanmu Jin's first fight was not simple. Neither of them personally showed up, but the harem was in chaos.
Although Long Tianmo had chosen many concubines, he had never spent the night in any of the palaces, nor had he summoned any concubines to serve him.
In order to avoid the nannies sent by the Imperial Grandmother, he had already stayed in the imperial study for ten days. The Imperial Grandmother did not come to the imperial study, but General Mu visited every day.
That night, after General Mu and Long Tianmo finished discussing the civil war in Northern Li and the war between Eastern and Western Qin, they had no intention of leaving. Instead, he bowed and knelt down on one knee.
Seeing this, Long Tianmo felt a headache. Great General Mu was an intelligent man and had never sought redress for his daughter's grievances or plead for leniency. He had always used the excuse of the imperial clan spreading its branches and spreading its leaves as an excuse to invite Long Tianmo to spend the night in the inner palace.
Long Tianmo stood in front of the desk and ignored General Mu. Instead, he looked coldly at Mu Qingwu, who was standing to the side. Mu Qingwu immediately lowered his head. He was also in a difficult position!
"Your Majesty, at your age, the late emperor had already …"
Before General Mu could finish his sentence, a eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside the door. "Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Concubine was poisoned by a poisonous snake!"
