Nan Ke's mother firmly believed that her son's inability to conceive was not the fault of her son. It was absolutely because Lu Yu had exhausted her body when she was a servant girl in the prince's residence.
Nan Ke's mother's judgment made Lu Yu feel even more bitter. Although she was a servant girl in the prince's residence, she only needed to make Jiujiu happy every day. Unlike now, she was a concubine, but it was not as good as a servant girl in the prince's residence.
She had to do so many things every day. By the time she went to bed at night, she was already half dead from exhaustion. Furthermore, because there was no news from her for more than two years, Nan Ke had long been unwilling to share a room with her. According to Nan Ke, since her field was destined to be unable to harvest any crops, there was no need to waste any seeds.
Using words like field and crops to describe a woman made Lu Yu feel deeply insulted. She had been raised by Jiujiu like a young lady since she was young. Her body was naturally incomparably healthy. She could definitely conceive a child. Therefore, Lu Yu had suspected more than once that it was Nan Ke's problem that caused her to not be able to conceive.
Furthermore, because of Nan Ke's problem, she could not conceive a child. And because of Nan Ke, she received such inhumane treatment after leaving the prince's residence. Clearly, Nan Ke had said that he wanted to take her as his wife, but now she was still a concubine. Furthermore, she was a concubine like a servant girl. Lu Yu regretted her past. If she could turn back time, she would definitely not be together with Nan Ke.
Uprisings occurred everywhere. Yang Guang was furious, and Yang Lin took the lead to enter the battlefield.
Seeing Yang Lin clad in armor and wielding a weapon, Jiujiu's eyes reddened. She held Yang Lin's hand with a face full of reluctance: "Father, when will you return?"
Yang Lin lowered his head to look at Jiujiu. Jiujiu's small face was much more open than it was two years ago. She was even more beautiful and moving. Even in this world, it was rare to see such an appearance. If she did not come from an imperial family, such an appearance would certainly be a disaster.
Yang Lin's rough and calloused hand gently brushed across Jiujiu's cheek. His voice was very soft as he said: "The day the rebellion is quelled will be the day I return."
Although his tone was firm, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
The uprising this time was almost national in nature. Once he went, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to return. However, Yang Lin couldn't tell Jiujiu directly. He was afraid that if Jiujiu heard him, she wouldn't let him go.
What he was most afraid of was Jiujiu crying.
After Yang Lin finished speaking, he took a deep look at Jiujiu, as if he wanted to carve Jiujiu's appearance into his heart. Then, he raised his hand and whipped his horse to leave.
Yang Lin's back was broad like a mountain, making people's hearts calm down. Looking at Fifteen, Thirteen, and Old Eight, Jiujiu's eyes couldn't help but redden.
Seeing Jiujiu's red eyes, Fifteen subconsciously took out a handkerchief from his arms, but he stiffly took it back in the next moment.
Not once did he forget his identity. He was a lowly secret guard, and Jiujiu was a noble princess. He wasn't worthy of Jiujiu.
Not long after Yang Lin left, news came that the border had fallen.
The news that Jiujiu gave Nan Ke was both true and false.
However, because the initial news was true, the Li family put Nan Ke in an even more important position, and Nan Ke began to feel complacent.
When he returned home and looked at Lu Yi, Nan Ke's heart was already filled with dissatisfaction.
Lu Yi was beautiful, but beauties were like flowers. They needed to be carefully cared for. In the past two years, aside from her period, Lu Yi worked day and night. Her fingers had long become rough, and her cheeks weren't as tender and lovely as before. Although her appearance was still alright, when they had sex, her strength was even greater than his. How could the male chauvinist Nan Ke tolerate this?
Because of these few victories, Nan Ke had been entrusted with an important task by the Li family, and he had thoughts of taking in a concubine.
Nan Ke's mother was anxious to hold her grandson. As soon as Nan Ke opened his mouth, she immediately gave her servant girl to Nan Ke.
That night, an ambiguous moan came from Nanke's room, which almost broke the heart of the egret who lived at the side.
What made her even sadder was that after Nan Ke and his mother determined that it was Lu Yi's problem that she couldn't have children, after Nan Ke had sex with the servant girl, he immediately paid tribute to her. Every day, she was served with good food and drink. Nan Ke's mother looked at the servant girl's belly with a smile every day, as if she was certain that she was pregnant.
However, half a month later, the servant girl's period came on time. Nan Ke's mother's face darkened. After her period, the servant girl and Nan Ke slept together again. That day, Nan Ke practically lay on the servant girl's belly every day and night. However, the results were delightful.
The servant girl's period seemed to have come again. This time, the servant girl had the same fate as Lu Yi.
Nan Ke and his mother's faces darkened.
This time, they found another daughter who was said to be able to bear children. After a month of hard work, the girl's period still came.
Nan Ke's mother didn't want to admit it, but she could only ask for a doctor.
The doctor's diagnosis lasted for a moment, then he said bluntly, "Replying to Madam, the young master has been poisoned. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to bear children."
"Poisoned?"
"Yes, poisoned." The doctor was the Li family's doctor. Naturally, he said whatever he wanted to say. Moreover, he said it very tactfully. He said it would be difficult, but in reality, there wouldn't be any children.
After receiving the result of Nan Ke's difficulty in bearing children, Nan Ke's mother's body went limp, and she softly fell down. Nan Ke's face was pale, but he still ordered the doctor to quickly see his mother.
At night, Lu Yi heard heart-wrenching sobs coming from Nan Ke's mother's courtyard. For some reason, Lu Yi suddenly laughed.
After Yang Lin left, in the third month, Jiujiu brought Fifteen and the others to find Yang Lin.
According to the time, Yang Lin should be in the next few months.
Jiujiu originally wanted to let Wan Niang leave, but Wan Niang wanted to stay by Jiujiu's side. Her heart was already dead. She would die no matter where she went. She was a weak woman. In such a chaotic world, what was the use of freedom?
It was better to stay by Jiujiu's side. At least she could keep her life.
After the group left, Jiujiu had Thirteen take Wan Niang to a remote mountain area, far away from the war, to find a courtyard. It was their last escape route.
When he saw Jiujiu, Yang Lin was almost furious. He paced around the tent like an angry lion. He glared fiercely at Fifteen and the others. Gritting his teeth, he angrily said: "Why didn't you stop the princess and let her mess around with you?"
Fifteen and Old Eight knelt on the ground with their heads down and didn't say anything. It wasn't that they didn't want to stop Jiujiu, but Jiujiu had already made up her mind. She brought Thirteen and the others into the room, as if she had already confirmed that she would never return to the capital. If they dared to say anything about taking her back, she would use a hairpin to threaten them.
Jiujiu held Yang Lin's hand and said: "Father, don't be angry. I was the one who threatened them."
