The passers-by are vicious

When Liu Benchu ​​came back from getting the medicine himself because he was worried, he saw Song Qiyuan standing under the pear tree in the Yaoguang Garden, apparently admiring the pear blossoms.

A breeze blew by, bringing a few petals of snow-white pear blossoms onto his shoulders, which made his temperament look a little melancholy.

The young man in purple who was leaning against the wall not far away was hugging his chest, raising his chin, and rolling his eyes arrogantly.

His hair was tied up lazily, his face was deep, his eyebrows were sharp, and he had the rebelliousness of a teenager.

Liu Benchu ​​naturally knew the young man in purple, General Ji—Ji Xian.

However, the atmosphere in the courtyard made Liu Benchu, whose face had a falsely gentle expression, look a little gloomy.

Song Qiyuan should be here, but why is Ji Xian here?

Seeing Liu Benchu, who was pretending to be gentle, Ji Xian's eyes turned, and he deliberately shouted disgustingly, "Hey, you're back, second brother."

This made Liu Benchu, who was about to show a warm smile, pause. He narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows expressionlessly, "What do you mean?"

"Literally." Ji Xian sneered, looking at Liu Benchu ​​wantonly, "Why, do you think I'm wronging you by calling you second brother?"

Liu Benchu ​​pulled up a hypocritical smile. He glanced at Song Qiyuan and wondered why Ji Xian was here.

Song Qiyuan's stern face continued to look calmly at the pear tree, as if he had no interest in their conversation.

After disgusting Liu Benchu, Ji Xian looked indifferent and completely ignored Liu Benchu's reaction.

However, his occasional glances into the house caught Liu Benchu's attention.

Liu Benchu ​​didn't understand it at first, but after seeing Ji Xian's reaction, he suddenly realized something.

Liu Benchu ​​couldn't help but feel a strong sense of disbelief in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Ji Xian! You bastard! When did you...?"

His face instantly turned gloomy and he secretly became angry. When did Ji Xian start to... secretly have an affair with Wan Wan?

Liu Benchu ​​could never have imagined that Wanwan and Ji Xian, two seemingly unrelated people, could actually have such a close connection.

I had always thought that I was the only adulterer, but I didn't expect that Ji Xian was also having an affair with Wanwan.

Liu Benchu's face became extremely gloomy, as if water could drip out of it, shock and anger intertwined in his heart.

Unfortunately, Ji Xian was in no mood to argue with Liu Benchu. The arrogant young general was also worried. He frowned, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He couldn't help but ask Liu Benchu, who was still frowning,

"Can Wanwan's illness be cured?"

Liu Benchu, who was still thinking about how to deal with his love rival, had no other thoughts when he heard about Jiang Wanwan's illness. He shook his head silently, his face very gloomy, as if covered by a layer of dark clouds.

Ji Xian didn't seem to expect the situation to be so serious. He tightened his arms slightly. "Aren't you known as a medical genius? Even you can't do anything."

There was a hint of urgency and anxiety in his voice, and his emotions became agitated.

The young general's sharp brows furrowed even more fiercely. He seemed unable to accept this fact and even questioned Liu Benchu's medical skills.

Fortunately, Liu Benchu ​​seemed to be in self-doubt and didn't care at all.

Ji Xian seemed unwilling to give up. “If you need any medicine, let’s get some together. Or I’ll find another doctor if you need anything…”

He was willing to make every effort to find a way to cure Jiang Wanwan.

"It's useless. My master is the great doctor Mo Shenzhong from Daqing. I looked for him, but even he couldn't help me, let alone anyone else..."

Ji Xian, who was about to rush out of the hospital to find other doctors, stopped in his tracks. Naturally, he knew Mo Shenzhong's reputation. He clenched his fists beside his legs and said in a difficult voice, "Are we going to give up just like that... No!"

Liu Benchu's fingers holding the medicine tightened slightly, and he said softly, "I'm looking up the classics. There will always be a way..."

Then he gave the medicine to Yoona who was waiting outside the yard, and took it directly to the kitchen without him telling her.

Liu Benchu ​​opened a box of medical books that he had asked someone to bring back and walked into the side room. He spread the books on the table and began to search.

Seeing this, Ji Xian anxiously asked what he was looking for, and also helped to look through the books.

.........

When Jiang Wanwan woke up, she saw three men standing in the house. She was not surprised. After all, it was impossible for Ji Xian to come to see her that day without being discovered. It was just that the three of them had reached some kind of agreement, and the atmosphere between them was relatively calm.

Seeing that Song Qiyuan was still feeding himself medicine as if nothing had happened, it was impossible to say that he felt guilty.

They didn't mention it, and Jiang Wanwan didn't point it out either. She let the three of them take turns feeding her medicine and taking care of her.

Ji Xian is the best at coaxing Jiang Wanwan, and he always finds ways to make her happy.

Until one day, when Jiang Wanwan's belly was already six months old, urgent news suddenly came from outside the county - the young emperor's cousin, the son of the previous emperor's younger brother, suddenly rebelled.

When the news came, there was an uproar in the court.

Some people suggested sending troops to suppress the rebellion immediately, but others thought that they should observe the situation before making a decision.

For a while, there was endless debate in the court.

At the critical moment, it was Song Qiyuan who stepped forward to stabilize the situation.

He said in a deep voice: "Ministers, please be patient. This matter is of great importance and we must not act rashly."

Upon hearing this, everyone quieted down and waited for Song Qiyuan's decision.

In the end, Song Qiyuan selected Ji Xian's grandfather, General Ji Lao, as the Grand Marshal of Yonghe to lead the army to quell the rebellion.

But General Ji was already old, and the father of his only son Ji Xian had also died in a war. How could Ji Xian bear to see his grandfather running around at such an old age?

He asked the court for permission to quell the rebellion for his grandfather. With Song Qiyuan and Liu Benchu's father present, the request was naturally granted.

The day before Ji Xian left, he did not show any abnormality. He just accompanied Jiang Wanwan and made her happy as usual.

After seeing Jiang Wanwan's brows relaxed and her eyes smiling, he grinned and laughed foolishly.

However, when night fell and Jiang Wanwan fell asleep, Ji Xian sat silently beside the bed, tightly holding the white jade ring that he had asked for from Jiang Wanwan during the day and had been wearing on his hand ever since, his expression solemn and determined.

He returned to the mansion, found the red string, threaded the white jade ring and put it around his neck. As the servants put silver armor on him, equipped with sharp weapons and hard armor, he became heroic and resolute.

When Ji Xian mounted his warhorse and picked up the silver spear and put it behind his back, his eyes became as sharp as a knife.

Taking a last look at the plaque of Ji Mansion, he saw tears in General Ji's eyes, but Ji Xian still resolutely led the soldiers towards the city gate.

The clattering sound of soldiers' footsteps and the vibration of armor intertwined together, attracting many people to flock to the streets, crowding on both sides of the road, curiously watching the army that was about to go to war.

Jiang Wanwan, who had fallen asleep in the Marquis' Mansion, was startled awake, and immediately closed her eyes slowly under Liu Benchu's comfort.
