Time Travel and Love

"The princess smells strongly of medicine." Lin Yiyi hinted. Lin Yue didn't understand what she meant, but just said that she was in poor health and took medicine from the beginning of winter to the summer, so the smell of medicine was naturally strong. Lin Yiyi shook her head and whispered, "The princess smells of pregnancy-maintaining medicine. It doesn't look like it came from somewhere. It must have been taken for a while." Lin Yue frowned and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. Keep it to yourself. Instead of seeing the princess, you might as well think of a way to break that little bitch's belly!"

Lin Xixi nodded in agreement and naturally had to take action to deal with that little bitch Lin Wei. She had tried to harm the young lady time and time again, so this time she had no chance of escaping.

After bidding farewell to Mo Wushuang, Chu Qingmeng went to Mu Lingxue's place again and told her the truth. Mu Lingxue was surprised. Chu Qingmeng told her that he would write to her once he settled down. Mu Lingxue promised her that she would communicate with her frequently.

Before dawn the next day, Chu Qingmeng quietly left the An Ning Princess's Mansion with only Chunhe, Xiazhi, and a group of secret guards. Chu Qingmeng was now thankful that she had no obvious involvement with the court, so there were no spies from various forces in her mansion. She set out for the border, she wanted to find a central place so that it would be easier for her to communicate with Mo Liujin and Mu Lingxue. After walking for a while, they arrived in Pizhou. Chu Qingmeng thought about it and asked someone to ask around in the nearby villages to see if there were any vacant houses. Staying in this remote place would not make them a target, right? Feiying pretended to be her husband, Feiling was called the servant of the family, Xiazhi and Chunhe were still called the maids of the family, for fear that someone would come to propose marriage.

Finally, Fei Ling found a village called Lotus Village, which was not far from the county town and convenient for communication. She went to the village and found the headman to buy a house. It was said to be the best house in the village. In fact, it was just a two-courtyard house with only a dozen rooms that could accommodate people, but it was enough. She lived in the backyard, Chun and Xiazhi lived next to her, Feiying and Fei Ling also lived in the backyard, and it didn't matter how the other secret guards were allocated, because they took turns on duty and rest anyway.

After settling down, Chu Qingmeng wrote another letter to Mo Liujin, stating his current address and the reason for leaving Beijing, and sent someone to deliver it.

Mo Liujin was trembling like a sieve when he received Chu Qingmeng's letter. He drank several sips of tea to suppress his excitement, but he couldn't help but worry. How was her health? The situation in the capital should be getting unsettled. Would she be targeted by spies from various families? How would she hide her pregnancy when it got bigger? Mo Liujin was completely unwell. He regretted that he should have married her before leaving for the expedition. Then everything would have been fine...

Mo Liuyuan entered the study and saw his absent-minded appearance. He asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Mo Liujin hurriedly put away the letter on the desk and said unnaturally, "Nothing, I received Qingmeng's letter."

Mo Liuyuan's expression showed understanding; it looked like they'd been arguing again. He didn't bother to pay attention and got straight to business. "This city is now full of spies from the Beiming and Yue clan. We need to find a way to eliminate them all. The spies Leng Shi mentioned earlier have already been eliminated, and our leads are all gone."

…………

When Mo Liujin received Chu Qingmeng's second letter, he wrote her another letter. After all this, when Chu Qingmeng received his letter again, her belly was already five months big.

That day, Chu Qingmeng sat under the big locust tree at the door and chatted with a group of village women.

"My dear sister Chu, your belly is so big. Have you seen a doctor? I'm afraid there's more than one baby in your belly." Aunt Guihua from the village said while twisting the hemp rope.

"Probably, right? I'm not sure," Chu Qingmeng smiled as she helped her twist the hemp rope. "The head of the household has gone to see a doctor, and he might be back soon. I really can't move my stomach."

"Oh, if you ask me, the girl from the Chu family is lucky. She married into a wealthy family, and the man in this family loves her very much. I see that you usually just come to the door to sit and talk with us, and your man is always guarding the door." Aunt Cuihua teased Chu Qingmeng while picking vegetables.

Chu Qingmeng smiled and said nothing. Aunt Li said with a smile, "That's right! The Chu family's daughter is so lucky! Her family is rich and her husband loves her so much. We are so envious of her!"

"Hahaha! You old slut, you also want to marry so well?" Aunt Guihua scolded Aunt Li with a smile, and they all burst into laughter.

Chunhe came out of the door, helped Chu Qingmeng up, and said it was time to take the medicine. Chu Qingmeng carefully stood up and followed her back to the house. Seeing this, the aunts shook their heads and whispered, "Ah, this girl from the Chu family is lucky to have married into a wealthy family. If she were in an ordinary family like us, she would have died long ago, relying on medicine every day to keep herself going."

Several people nodded in agreement. At this time, Feiying had already brought the doctor back. He nodded to the aunts at the door as a greeting, and then took the doctor inside.

This caused a flurry of discussion among the people at the door. After the doctor took Chu Qingmeng's pulse, he said, "Madam, you are probably pregnant with twins, but your pregnancy doesn't look good. I've also reviewed the prescriptions that other doctors have written. I'll adjust a few of the herbs and dosages. Madam, you can use them first. However, you'll have to nurse back to health for the old injuries you have."

Feiying thanked the doctor and said he would come back next month to take his pulse. He then sent the doctor back and followed him to get the medicine. Chu Qingmeng received Mo Liujin's letter. After seeing the thick stack of paper, Chu Qingmeng smiled helplessly. He picked up the pen and wrote a few words back to him: The doctor took my pulse and said it was twins.
