Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

General's Mansion.

Today is no different from any other day; the General's Mansion remains well-organized, with everyone performing their duties.

Ye Li went to Doctor Mu's residence, obtained the medicine made by her master, and was on her way back.

My master said that the dosage of medicine should be controlled, otherwise a fever that lasts too long is bad for the body.

Then Ye Li asked Ru Feng to get the oldest wine from the General's Mansion.

Then I asked Mo Chen about his alcohol tolerance.

As the wind said, "The general can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

Ye Li wrote helplessly: "Is it possible to get drunk after drinking 1001 cups?"

Ru Feng thought this was a new pleasure for the general and his wife.

He smiled and said, "Please feel free to try it, madam. The cellar door is already open. If it's not enough, I'll get you some more wine."

Ye Li felt it was best not to make too much of a fuss and just leave it at that.

Anyway, the master gave us the medicine. If there's a problem with the medicine, we can go to the master.

Ye Li went to the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared a table full of hearty dishes, a mix of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy, as well as meat and vegetables.

After the wine and food were served, Ye Li lit some candles.

I originally wanted to imitate a candlelight dinner, but after all, Chinese food and Western food are very different.

In the end, I threw the candle away.

The setup is complete, and it looks great.

She's been thinking about it all day, and she's been preparing and arranging it all day. It's time to start.

Ye Li asked Ru Feng to invite the general over for dinner, saying she had something to discuss with him.

But Mo Chen was nowhere to be found...

Ye Li waited for him very patiently.

I knew he would come eventually.

Ye Li sat on the stool, bored, and took out a small notebook to start doodling.

As an illustrator, Ye Li chose to use sketching as her medium this time.

She painted the scene of their first meeting, where arrows shot through the street, connecting them, and wrote: "Our first meeting..."

He even drew a scene of him generously giving him all his money, labeled with the word "nouveau riche"...

He drew a scene of him beating the eunuch guarding his wife, using a small arrow to exaggerate the eunuch being beaten into the sky...

I drew them renovating the general's mansion together, and the wounded soldiers all recovered. Then I wrote about the couple's unity...

He painted a picture of him playing drums with her at the Emperor Emeritus's birthday banquet, drew a heart, and wrote "soulmates"...

I drew them watching the night view together under the fireflies...

The painting depicts a story at the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon...

I drew a picture of myself throwing away the love lock...

I drew the pearl ring he gave himself...

All sorts of things were drawn, and many pages were filled in.

Mo Chen arrived late, long after the sun had set.

When Ye Li saw him arrive, she stopped writing and raised her hand to greet him.

His hands were haphazardly wrapped with strips of cloth.

Seeing that Mo Chen's hand was also injured, Ye Li picked up a small bandage from her body, tore it in half, and bandaged it for him.

At this moment, Ye Li was in a very good mood to tell him corny jokes.

She mouthed:

“Look, I have a cut on my body, and you have a cut on your body too. We are a couple.”

She knew he was upset, so she was willing to be humorous, even if it was with cheesy pickup lines.

With their separation imminent, the two put on a show, as if this would allow them to forget the unavoidable circumstances and helplessness they felt.

Mo Chen has remained silent since then.

He smiled at Ye Li, just as always, even though Ye Li could see the sadness in his eyes.

Mo Chen couldn't bear to tell her that he was going to send her to Beichen and that he couldn't be by her side.

However, Ye Li had anticipated this.

She prepared all of this with a smile, just to give him a little reassurance.

Ye Li lit small candles on the plates under the dishes so that the food would be reheated as the candles burned.

Whether it's a Western candlelight dinner or a practical and simple Chinese dinner.

As long as it's this person, I'll eat anything.

"You've worked hard today too, let's have a nice meal!"

Ye Li took the initiative to pick up some food and feed it to him today.

Mo Chen opened his mouth and smiled as he accepted the food.

"Is it tasty?"

"What's made from pears is naturally the most delicious in the world."

"Well said! Here's a drink for you!"

Ye Li picked up more food, and Mo Chen continued eating.

The two understood each other implicitly, yet with remarkable tacit understanding, neither pressing the other for their opinion on going to Beichen.

Mo Chen dared not ask, nor dared he hear the answer.

If they are separated by distance, will things really change as Master said?

Mo Chen was also afraid. If his master couldn't help but tell her about his past, how would Li'er view him?

A ruthless and decisive general, once he has placed someone in his heart, cannot bear to see her leave him, and is even more afraid of the look of disgust in her eyes when she learns the truth.

Hesitant to move forward.

Hesitant and indecisive.

To have experienced light and then lose it again is more despairing than never having seen the sun at all...

Mo Chen looked at her repeatedly, as if trying to etch her into his mind, remaining silent.

Ye Li seized every opportunity to get him drunk tonight.

Sometimes it's about praising him for doing a good job.

Sometimes it's as punishment for his lack of enthusiasm for eating.

Mo Chen drank a lot of drinks throughout the night...

Ye Li thought to herself: As expected of the General, just as Ru Feng said, he is really not easy to get drunk!

So she imitated those stunningly beautiful women, like Daji, and said:

"How about we make a bet? If you finish this whole jar of wine, I'll kiss you."

So the general stopped drinking cup after cup.

They began to boldly pour the wine from whole jars...

When the time was right, Ye Li said to him:

"Let's go, let's go back and rest."

Mo Chen was drunk, but it wasn't very noticeable to the naked eye. He sat quietly and spoke very little, just like usual.

But Ye Li knew he was drunk.

Since the last jar of wine, he hadn't asked for a kiss.

Ye Li mixed the fever-inducing medicine given to her by her master into her food. She didn't know when it would take effect, but she figured she had time to wait.

They returned to the main courtyard of the general's mansion.

This place is now completely different from the general's mansion it once was.

The former general's mansion was desolate and somber, yet full of masculine energy, exuding a domineering yet understated aura.

Now, thanks to Ye Li's sweeping transformation, the area is now lush with green trees and red flowers, with winding streams, fish in the ponds, and birds in the trees.

There's also a golden tiger, a mountain king, who seems to have traveled from another era, and Annie, an orange cat, who runs all over the mountain.

Lively.

Ye Li looked at Mo Chen and thought:

Everything is different—

But the person standing next to me is still the same one!

After Ye Li and Mo Chen returned to their bedroom.

Xiao Mochen woke up.

Because Ye Li heard him cheering loudly:

"My wife, my wife, I can see you again!"

A hearty laugh, an innocent smile—that's another little Mo Chen.

Ye Li smiled and hugged him back, even giving him a kiss.

Mo Chen rarely received such treatment; he was greeted with such warmth from his wife as soon as he woke up.

He beamed and hugged the lovely young woman back.

"I'm so happy to see my wife again!"

Ye Li said using lip reading:

"I'm happy too! But it's late now, and I'm a little sleepy. Shall we go to bed?"

Mo Chen replied happily, "In that case, I want to sleep with my wife."

Ye Li knew that the innocent and naive Mo Chen was the most obedient and well-behaved.

A good night's sleep.

The next day, when the chirping of insects and the crowing of roosters began, Mo Chen had already woken up.

But he stared at himself in disbelief!

Beside him was Ye Li nestled obediently in his arms, just like always, except that they were completely naked.

Ye Li had just woken up and then lazily said to him:

“My master gave me a medicine to have a child, and now I’m pregnant with your baby.”

Mo Chen: !!!
