Time Travel and Love

Mo Liujin stared at Mo Chenfeng's back. This was the second time his father laughed at him when he was leaving court. Or did he deliberately come over and laugh at him twice before leaving? What was his father laughing at?

"Father, grandfather? It seems like they are laughing at you?" Mo Jiangqing asked uncertainly.

"Yeah, you're laughing at me," Mo Liujin confirmed his words with a frown, "but I don't know what happened. Last time after the court session, your grandfather laughed at me like this. Have I done anything stupid recently?" Mo Liujin felt a little insecure because of Mo Chenfeng's laughter.

"No." Mo Jiangche was also confused. His father had always been like this, nothing had changed. What happened?

"Forget it, let's go. Your mother should still be waiting for me at the palace gate." Mo Liujin said and walked out on his own.

Father Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Jiang Qing, I know your parents have a good relationship, but it shouldn't be this serious, right? It's just a court appearance."

“…” That’s enough. You two old people are showing off your affection, why are you making things difficult for me?

As the group exited the palace, Chu Qingmeng was already waiting at the gate. He was on horseback, his back to the group, still looking like a frail young man, even more petite against the towering frame of the Ferghana horse. The generals deliberately slowed down, waiting for the general to come out and see what was going on.

Mo Liujin immediately spotted Chu Qingmeng, who had her back to him, stroking the horse's mane. He strode over and stood beside her. "Why did you ride it out today? Aren't you always reluctant to let it go?"

"It's a horse after all. If I don't walk it, it'll be useless. I'll definitely go for a run in the next few days if I have nothing else to do."

Li's father and Xu's father, who came out from behind, almost dropped their eyes. Didn't they say the general's wife was waiting? Why is it a skinny young man?! Noticed that the two were about to stare out of their eyes, Mo Liujin slapped his forehead, he was really confused! Qingmeng was wearing men's clothes and a mask, and he was afraid that she would be misunderstood. He put his arm around her shoulders and walked in front of them, raised his hand and took off Chu Qingmeng's gold mask, "Madam had something to go out this morning, and because it was inconvenient for a woman to go out, she dressed as a man."

As soon as this face was revealed, the generals who had been secretly watching their generals breathed a sigh of relief. It was the little sister-in-law! They all mounted their horses and left.

Father Li was relieved; he had assumed the general had fallen in love with a male lover again. Father Xu was surprised by Chu Qingmeng's face. He had heard his daughter's story and thought she was exaggerating. But now, seeing the general's wife still had a childlike face, she didn't look like a woman in her forties. No wonder the general was so attached to his wife.

"Master Li, I haven't seen you for a few days. I wonder if you didn't recognize me?" Chu Qingmeng gave a casual greeting and smiled. "Is this Master Xu? Nice to meet you. How are you?"

"Your Highness is joking, but I was really frightened by your attire just now." Lord Li bowed in return.

Father Xu felt that Chu Qingmeng's smiling face was really dazzling. He came back to his senses and said, "Yes, thank you for your concern, Princess. Is the Princess recovered now?"

After everyone exchanged greetings and were about to leave, Quan Si came back and said, "Master." As soon as he said this, Quan Si wanted to slap himself. There were so many people!

"What's the matter?" Mo Liujin said.

Quan Siqing breathed a sigh of relief and took out the porcelain bottle, "Madam's medicine for today, and the medicine Madam ordered."

Chu Qingmeng took the medicine, laughed awkwardly, and took the one he said she should take today. It must have been something her father and brother had given her for fun, but why did she have the time? She was about to take the other bottle, but Mo Liujin reached out and took it away. He turned and said goodbye to everyone.

After everyone left, Mo Liujin looked at the familiar bottle in his hand and asked Quan Si, "What's in it?"

Quan Si was stunned and looked up at Chu Qingmeng. "No? Master Jiu, you asked me for this medicine without discussing it with your uncle, didn't you?!"

Mo Liujin pulled out an identical bottle from his pocket and held it in his hand. Chu Qingmeng broke out in a sweat. Oh no! She thought it was lost! How did it end up in his hands?!

Mo Liujin looked at Quan Si and waited for his answer. Finally, Quan Si gritted his teeth and replied, "It's for conditioning the body."

How dare he betray Master Jiu! He was afraid that Master Jiu would skin him alive! Seeing him like this, Mo Liujin knew he wasn't telling the truth. He laughed and told him to leave, then pulled Chu Qingmeng onto his horse and returned home.

"Ajin." Chu Qingmeng felt somewhat guilty.

"Yeah." Mo Liujin responded neither lightly nor heavily, and no emotion could be heard from his voice.

But Chu Qingmeng didn't know what to say. When the two of them returned to the mansion, Mo Liujin immediately sent for the palace doctor. Chu Qingmeng was sweating profusely. She knew that Mo Liujin wanted a child, very much. Every time afterward, he would hold her belly tightly, unwilling to let go. But, it really couldn't work. After returning this time, Mo Liujin's stubbornness had only gotten worse. She was afraid that he would follow her, and how difficult it would be for the child to survive!

"Greetings, Third Master." It was the same old doctor from before, who bowed with the medicine box and waited for Mo Liujin to speak.

"Look what's in here." Mo Liujin handed both medicine bottles to the court doctor.
