Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

"I have a sore throat."

This is true. Qi Huan felt it almost as soon as Yun Qian opened her mouth.

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the culprit was himself last night.

Yun Qian bit her lips hard at first last night and refused. Qi Huan teased and pranked her until she finally got something pleasant and fun out of her.

Yes, now my voice has become hoarse because of it.

Qi Huan couldn't help but move forward and kiss the cherry lips he loved. They were so beautiful and tempting that he couldn't get enough of them. When he had kissed her enough, his eyes were already burning with anger. He restrained himself and stood up to bring hot tea to Yun Qian. As he fed her, he leaned in and whispered softly in her ear, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault."

The chuckle in his voice was so audible that even a deaf person could sense it. Yun Qian glanced at him, then silently drank the water he fed her. Her throat was hoarse and she was too lazy to argue with him.

Qi Huan, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying himself, feeding him cup after cup, like some grandparents who think their grandchildren are not full. He only stopped feeding him water when Yun Qian pushed him away and said enough was enough.

Qi Huan originally wanted Yun Qian to accompany him to the imperial study, but he had something unexpected that needed his attention, so he had to let Yun Qian leave.

Yun Qian returned to her Chaoyang Palace and sat down without moving around. Although it was a little difficult to say, she did feel a little uncomfortable there.

She sat at the table, thinking quietly. As far as she knew, Chinese medicine doctors wouldn't be able to diagnose her pregnancy within a month, and even if they could, they wouldn't dare to say for sure. Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved. It would still be more than two months before Qi Huan returned to Qindu. He couldn't possibly stay here for a woman.

Thinking about it, Yun Qian couldn't help but ask the system.

"Go and see if Wen Qi's current position has changed."

"Host, I have been keeping a close eye on him since this morning and have discovered that he... seems to be heading towards us and seems to have already reached the capital."

Yun Qian was stunned by the words and gradually fell into deep thought. She had no idea what Wen Qi's current condition was, or what his identity was... But she instinctively felt that Wen Qi's arrival would be pulled into her plan, or even disrupted. There were too many uncertainties in the plan, and Yun Qian tried hard to find a clue...

For the first time, the system felt that the host's mind was so confused... like a bunch of garbled code.

If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it for now. Thinking too much isn't necessarily a good thing. Although Yun Qian is always used to taking one step at a time and looking at two steps ahead, she gradually realized that due to her limited perspective, the difficulty of the task would definitely not be easy.

She might not stay in this world for this...

Meanwhile, Qi Huan met with General Xia, a rising star in the army. He had spotted this promising young man during his campaigns against the Xia Kingdom and often sent him as a vanguard. He slew countless enemies on the battlefield, demonstrating both courage and strategy. Qi Huan greatly appreciated him and promoted him to the rank of Third Rank Commander, granting him a fief of ten thousand households and unparalleled honor.

When he had previously conquered the capital of Xia, he needed someone to inspect the situation in the Qin capital for him, so he returned to the capital first. General Xia volunteered to return to the Qin capital to defend against those attempting rebellion, and because Qi Huan needed more troops to guard the borders of Xia, he was asked to lead his troops there.

Upon seeing Qi Huan, General Xia immediately knelt and bowed. Qi Huan had a very good impression of him. This General Xia's name was Xia Li. Although I heard that he seemed to have lost his memory... but it was not a big deal. It was probably not a brain injury. As long as he could march and fight without any problems, that would be enough.

Qi Huan asked him to stand up and report on the recent situation in Qindu.

As expected, no one dared to continue "making trouble". After all, he had implemented iron-blooded policies and killed so many people for those old men to see. It was useless for them to have any more ideas.

Qi Huan couldn't help but sneer at the thought. Even if his father disliked him, what did it matter? What was his was his, and no one else could covet it. Now the entire universe belonged to him. His foolish brothers and sisters were either dead or mad, and the only ones left were his own brothers. No one could threaten his position.

After listening to General Xia's report, Qi Huan nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then jokingly asked him if he wanted any reward.

Unexpectedly, Xia Li knelt down and begged, saying that she did have a wish and hoped that he could fulfill it.

Qi Huan raised an eyebrow and spoke nonchalantly.

"Oh? Tell me."

Xia Li said that when he entered Xiadu, he met a woman and fell in love with her at first sight. He hoped that Qi Huan could arrange a marriage for him.

Qi Huan, who had been rather nonchalant upon hearing this, suddenly laughed. He said that Xia Li was truly a hero who could not resist the temptation of beauty. He was willing to use his reward in exchange for such a small matter, but at the same time he generously agreed.

He said, "I will definitely take good care of it for you. After you get married, I will confer an imperial decree on that woman, and she will live a lifetime of glory." Xia Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and his pretty face was stained with joy.

Then he stood up and left.

The modern world is full of entertainment options. Yun Qian was now lying in bed, bored out of her mind. Autumn was particularly dull. There was no scenery to enjoy. When she went outside, there were only dead branches and fallen leaves. The lotus pond was full of withered lotus leaves. She didn't have the elegance to linger among the withered lotus leaves and listen to the rain. She wanted to play with her phone or something.

Finally, after a short nap in the afternoon, Yun Qian finally decided to go for a walk outside. She was going to get bored if she kept being bored like this... If conditions allowed, she would also like to find someone to fight with.

Although she had purchased the advanced version of her martial arts skills, she had never used them. She wondered if they were real or not, but they should be even more powerful than before. Thinking of this, Yun Qian couldn't help but imagine herself being able to take on a hundred enemies at once. However, it was only her imagination; she wouldn't rush into anything she hadn't tried before.

Thinking back to the time when she was attacked by her enemies, she lost because they had more soldiers and horses and were as powerful as tigers. To put it bluntly, they had more people and more power.

The past was too painful to recall under the moonlight, but whatever. She had indeed done so many bad things, to a certain extent. But there was nothing that could be done about it. Their positions were different. If she had lived for those righteous and moral claims, she would have been flogged to death long ago.

Just like that, my mind was wandering in the sky, and I leaned against the lotus pond with a distracted look.

In the eyes of outsiders, one might think that this was a very sad woman, walking here alone, looking at the autumn lotus in the pond, feeling sad in silence.

After a while, Yun Qian's keen reconnaissance ability suddenly came back to him. Something was wrong.

Someone was watching her. Yun Qian immediately looked in the direction she had in mind, but she only saw Qi Huan's personal steward... Who was the other person? He was wearing armor, but was blocked by the eunuch, so she couldn't see clearly.

Yun Qian averted her gaze for a moment, a little confused... Normally, she wouldn't be wrong. Was she really overthinking it? Or was it that the guard Qi Huan had sent to watch her was so unprofessional that he made her feel like she was being spied on?
