Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"What? Did she tell you about this?" Lu Fanghai climbed onto the bed again, put his arms around Du Wenxiu's waist, and pinched the flesh on her belly through her clothes.

Du Wenxiu struggled for a while, but he didn't let go, and became even more wanton.

Du Wenxiu rolled her eyes at him and said, "She was poisoned before and came to our house for help, saying that I was unvirtuous if I didn't let you take a concubine."

Lu Fanghai buried his head in her shoulder and chuckled, "I was the one who asked her to come find you, but I didn't expect to tell you all this. I should have known not to let her come, and it would only cause you more trouble."

"Tsk, I'm not worried." Du Wenxiu was still stubborn, "If you want to marry a concubine, you might as well leave me early. I can live well without a man..."

Lu Fanghai covered her unfinished words with his mouth, and as their lips and tongues tangled together, she felt more and more aggrieved.

Lu Fanghai's deep voice rang softly beside her ears: "In my life, I will only be with Xiuniang until we grow old. I don't want other women, no matter how good they are."

Du Wenxiu couldn't help it any longer, and cried, "Woo woo", and hugged him. The two of them entangled together, like... fish in water.

After that, Du Wenxiu leaned against Lu Fanghai and listened to him talk about what happened in the past year.

In fact, she had guessed almost everything, but it was not as dangerous as he said.

Du Wenxiu hugged him tightly and said in a tender voice: "Being an official is dangerous, it's not as good as being a farmer."

"Yes. I've also thought about it. Now that this is over, I will retire and live an ordinary life with Xiuniang, and stay with her until we grow old." Lu Fanghai said softly.

Du Wenxiu's eyes lit up, and he jumped up, unable to help but raise his voice and asked, "Really?"

Lu Fanghai smiled and pushed her back into the quilt: "Of course it's true. That day you encouraged me to pursue what I wanted, but after wandering around outside for more than a year, I still feel that what I want is to be with Xiuniang for the rest of my life and grow old together."

"Fame, wealth and honor are not what I seek. I just don't know if Xiuniang wants to go to the capital to live a rich and luxurious life, so I took the opportunity of picking up Erlang to come and ask clearly."

"Are you going to take Erlang away?" Du Wenxiu frowned slightly, but saw Lu Fanghai smiled and said:

"Yes, if we don't accept him, I'm afraid those masters in the court will want to make Prince Fu the crown prince, which will backfire."

"Emperor... has he been poisoned to such a serious degree? A Luo sent Erlang to the farm and said that Erlang now doesn't even hesitate to be looked for when he goes out." Du Wenxiu pondered.

"Well, Concubine Yu refused to call the imperial physician for treatment, saying that she was afraid that the emperor would be poisoned again."

"She was already favored and used to being domineering. The queen and the concubines couldn't do anything to her, so they just kept dragging her along until she was exhausted."

"I had never thought of taking Erlang back so soon, but if I don't take him back this time, I'm afraid Prince Fu will be the only choice, and I can't hide him anymore."

Du Wenxiu said nothing and wanted to go with him to pick up Erlang, but Lu Fanghai refused.

He had come here quietly, intending to go to the farm before daybreak, pick up Erlang and leave immediately.

"I will come back after I finish my business in Beijing, and then our family can be together."

Du Wenxiu had no choice but to obey him.

After all, it had only been a few months since I gave birth to the child, and I had been extremely busy these days, and my body was still weak, so I gave up.

The sky gradually brightened, a rooster crowed three times, and the light in A Luo's room came on.

As long as A Luo is at home, she will prepare breakfast every day.

At this time, Lu Fanghai had already climbed over the wall and left the house, causing Du Wenxiu to complain:

My own house is still so high and steep. I have never walked through the front gate in all these years since I moved here.

However, since he came back and gave her peace of mind, Du Wenxiu knew that as long as she waited patiently, things would definitely have a satisfactory outcome.

He felt relieved, thinking that Lu Erniang and Erlang had left, and Cheng Xiaomei was alone at the farm, so he sent Xu Ada to pick them up.

It was not until the late afternoon that Cheng Ada returned with an empty car and said: Cheng Xiaomei was taken away along with Lu Erniang and Erlang.

When Du Wenxiu heard this, his face was full of disbelief. After Lu Fanghai picked up Erlang, could he also take Cheng Xiaomei away by force?

I went to look for Cheng Suying, but found that she was busy. There were many people in the pharmacy and it was difficult to talk to her, so I could only walk around the workshop and return home in disappointment.

After sitting at home and thinking for a while, he decided not to tell Cheng Suying about this for the time being and wait and see what arrangements Lu Fanghai makes. Anyway, he will come back eventually and will definitely give him an explanation.

Time passed day by day, and it seemed that the matter was almost finished, but we still had to wait another two or three months.

There were rumors in the capital that the Emperor was in poor health, and the King of England was also very thin, looking shaky every time he went out and met someone.

Concubine Yu thought she had already won, and became even more lazy to do anything to save face, acting like an empress dowager without any disguise.

Things were becoming increasingly unbearable for the old emperor. According to the Grand Secretary who went in to visit him, even if the emperor wanted to drink a sip of water, he had to see whether Concubine Yu was happy or not.

For a time, the court was filled with gloom and sadness. Everyone was very opposed to Prince Fu's succession to the throne. However, seeing that the King of Ying was getting worse and worse, and his son was harmed by Concubine Yu...

At this time, everyone quietly received the news that the Prince of England had returned home, which was like a huge rock hitting the water, causing huge waves.

The court officials all wanted to verify the truth of the news and visited him one after another.

However, except for the Grand Secretary and several Imperial Censors, all the others were politely declined and never met.

——But, as long as someone sees it, it will be fine.

When Concubine Yu urged again to appoint a crown prince, the court officials quickly agreed.

Concubine Yu was delighted and no longer wanted to keep the emperor on his deathbed.

Although my brother has not sent any news to the palace in recent days, I think everything is fine outside the palace.

The imperial edict was drafted, appointing the Grand Secretary as the regent, and the emperor would be a hindrance if he were still alive.

After finding a good day, Concubine Yu took a pillow and went forward to cover the emperor's head and face, wanting to see him off.

The palace maids and eunuchs around him all turned pale and dared not say a word. They only saw the emperor, who had already exhausted all his life, kick his thin legs a few times and then ascend to heaven.

"The emperor has passed away!" The eunuch's sharp voice echoed throughout the palace and spread outside the palace.

The emperor passed away and the whole country was in mourning.

When the court officials entered the palace and saw the emperor's deathly appearance, they angrily accused Concubine Yu of regicide, but she calmly reminded them:

"The emperor's body has long been exhausted. A day of marriage is a hundred days of grace. I am only sending him off because I feel sorry for him."

"The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Instead of arguing with me, you should just read the will and invite the new emperor to ascend the throne."

The ministers looked at her expression and couldn't help but feel angry.

"Noble Concubine Yu, now that Uncle Yu is not around, you'd better not be so sure. Be careful not to shoot yourself in the foot."

Grand Master, Lu Huai, the Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall, scolded her angrily.

But Concubine Yu smiled suddenly and said loudly: "Now the King of England is so sick, it is hard to say how many days he can live."

"Who else can you appoint besides Prince Fu? Don't delay, or I will punish you all when my son ascends the throne."

Lu Huai pointed at the Hanlin scholar and said, "Fang Qing, if that's the case, you should take out the will so that Concubine Yu will give up."
