Wei Lin's left eyelid suddenly twitched. This was not a good omen, and it made him feel a little uneasy.
The closer he got to the palace, the more uneasy he felt.
Just as Wei Lin was approaching the palace gate, he heard the sound of hooves. Then, he saw Wei Zhun appear in front of him, panting.
"Big brother, bad news! "Xichun, she, she…" Wei Zhun was out of breath and couldn't finish his sentence.
"What's wrong with Xichun?" Wei Lin asked worriedly.
"Ding Xiangning brought a group of people here and said that Xichun was not a woman and forcefully took her away.”
"What?"
Hearing this, Wei Lin turned his horse around and wanted to go back, but the eunuch sent by the Emperor immediately pulled his reins.
"Lord Wei, what do you want?"
"Let go! Didn't you hear? My wife has been taken away. I have to go back and save her!”
"But the emperor is waiting to see you. If you go against the emperor's will, your future and life will be in danger.”
No matter what, Wei Lin should know the importance of the matter!
"If I lose Xichun, what use is my future and life to me?”
With that, Wei Lin immediately pushed the eunuch away and galloped back like a gust of wind.
Xin Xichun was taken out of the city. She didn't know where she would be taken, but she had doubts in her heart.
Were these people really just here to punish her for being unfaithful? Or did he have another motive?
Moreover, the strangest thing was that these people all seemed to listen to Ding Xiangning.
Xin Xichun, who had become vigilant, secretly left a strip of cloth torn from her clothes as a mark along the way.
If someone wanted to find her, they could use this mark to find her.
They came to an empty house, and Ding Xiangning said to the others,""You guys leave first. I have something to say to her.”
"Yes."
After everyone left, Ding Xiangning turned around and looked at Xin Xichun. Xin Xichun's calm appearance really annoyed her.
"Why didn't you beg for mercy?" Wasn't Xin Xichun afraid?
"Why should I beg for mercy?" Xin Xichun asked her back," I live an open and aboveboard life, unlike some people who only know how to do things like stealing chickens and touching dogs. If I beg for mercy, wouldn't it be as if I've done something wrong?"”
Xin Xichun puffed out her chest and glared at Ding Xiangning. Her fearless appearance made Ding Xiangning feel defeated.
"You said you didn't do anything wrong. Is that true? Your biggest mistake was to marry Wei Lin and stop me from enjoying the opportunity to enjoy wealth!”Ding Xiangning said hatefully.
Hearing this, Xin Xichun shrugged. "Love can't be forced. Even if you really marry Wei Lin, you won't be happy. If I were you, I would find a good man and work hard to build a new relationship.”
"Why go through so much trouble?" "As long as you die, Wei Lin will accept me." Ding Xiangning sneered.”
" You..." Xin Xichun didn't know what to say. Someone's view of love was so terrifying!
"You're going to die anyway, so I'll tell you one thing!" Ding Xiangning said again. I was the one who sent assassins to kill you last time. I thought you would die for sure, but who knew you would be so lucky to escape.”
"So it's you!" Xin Xichun only regretted not being able to discover her plot earlier.
"But you won't be so lucky this time.”Ding Xiangning took out a packet of medicinal powder." Take this packet of medicine. I guarantee that you will die without feeling any pain.”
Then, Ding Xiangning would make it look like Xin Xichun committed suicide to avoid punishment.
"Do you think I'm that stupid? Don't think that I'll obediently listen to you and eat the poison!”
Hmph, did he think she was an idiot?
Xin Xichun ignored Ding Xiangning and walked out directly. However, just as she reached the door, she was blocked by two strong men.
"You can't escape, Xin Xichun.”Ding Xiangning said from behind her.
Xin Xichun turned around and glared at Ding Xiangning. Then, she said to the burly man and the person outside the door who were blocking her way,"
"Don't be deceived by this woman. If I can leave this place safely, the Minister of War will reward you with a large sum of money.”
However, Xin Xichun's enticement was obviously useless.
"Xin Xichun, don't waste your energy. I'll tell you the truth! They are all my subordinates."
"Your subordinate?"
These people all obeyed Ding Xiangning? How was this possible?
If Ding Xiangning was only the daughter of a family friend of the Wei Manor, how could she have so many people listen to her orders, unless she had another identity?
The corners of Ding Xiangning's mouth still held a cold smile. "Let me tell you something else! Ding Xiangning, who was engaged to Wei Lin, is already dead, and I killed her. My real identity is the leader of thieves.”
Upon hearing this, Xin Xichun was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Meanwhile, Ding Xiangning, who had revealed this matter, had already smiled and ordered her subordinates,""Capture her!"
"Yes." The two giants immediately grabbed Xin Xichun's arms.
Ding Xiangning approached Xin Xichun and said,""Xin Xichun, since you know so many secrets, you should be able to die in peace!”
When Ding Xiangning poured the medicinal powder into Xin Xichun's mouth, Xin Xichun wanted to struggle, but he couldn't escape the restraint of the two giants.
"Oh…"
In the end, Xin Xichun was forced to eat the poison.
When Wei Lin returned to the residence, he couldn't find Xin Xichun, nor did he see any clues she left behind. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Where was Xichun captured?
He walked around aimlessly. Suddenly, something caught his attention.
It was a small piece of cloth that seemed to have been left behind not long ago. If he remembered correctly, Xin Xichun seemed to have a piece of clothing of the same material and pattern as this piece of cloth.
There was no mistake, this must have been left behind by Xin Xichun!
This discovery excited Wei Lin. He found the same cloth nearby, so Wei Lin followed the direction of the cloth. After walking for some time, he arrived in front of a house.
The cloth disappeared from the front of the house, and there was a group of people in front of the house. When Wei Lin approached, the group of people had strange looks in their eyes.
Could Xichun be inside?
Wei Lin walked straight to the door, but the group of people blocked him in panic.
"You can't go in."
"Why are you so afraid? Is someone hiding inside?”Wei Lin asked sharply.
"Anyway, you can't go in." That was what the group of people said.
"Move aside." "If you dare to stop me, don't blame me for being impolite!" Wei Lin roared.”
He was even more certain that Xin Xichun was inside.
The group of people were obviously frightened by his aura, but they had no choice but to brace themselves to stop him.
It took Wei Lin some effort to deal with the group of people in front of the house. Then, he immediately kicked the door open.
Just as he expected, Xin Xichun was indeed inside. Other than that, Ding Xiangning and the two giants were also inside.
"Brother Ling, why are you here?”
When Ding Xiangning saw Wei Lin, she couldn't help but gasp, and her face turned pale.
"What the hell did you do to Xichun?”
Seeing Xin Xichun lying on the ground, Wei Lin's heart unconsciously tightened, and his face was dyed with a murderous aura.
Ding Xiangning did not reply. The two giants roared and attacked Wei Lin. Wei Lin easily dodged their attacks and delivered a fatal blow to each of them.
Seeing the two giants pass out in front of her, Ding Xiangning laughed crazily."No matter what, you won't be able to save Xin Xichun in time. She has already taken the poison!”
"You vicious woman!"
Wei Lin gritted his teeth and roared. He had never hit a woman before, but now he couldn't help but slap Ding Xiangning.
Ding Xiangning was still smiling. "If I can't get you, Xin Xichun won't be able to get you either!”
Wei Lin no longer cared about Ding Xiangning. Instead, he walked to Xin Xichun's side and helped her up."Xichun, pull yourself together. I'll bring you to the doctor immediately.”
"Hah! It's too late." Ding Xiangning said.
"I'm fine." Xin Xichun said weakly.
She actually said that she was fine after taking the poison. Obviously, no one would believe Xin Xichun's words.
"Xichun, don't force yourself."
"I told you I was fine!" Xin Xi suddenly stood up." I just want to rest for a while. Those two rude men scratched me so hard, and the poison was so bitter.”
"You…"
Seeing that Xin Xichun did not show any signs of being poisoned, Ding Xiangning's expression was as if she had seen a ghost.
"What about me?"
Ding Xiangning pointed at Xin Xichun and said,"You weren't poisoned?" Impossible, that bag of poison could have killed a cow.”
"Probably because I'm not a cow!”Xin Xichun shrugged.
Wei Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but he still wanted to confirm it again.
"Are you really alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. You know that I, Xin Xichun, am not suitable to play the role of a tragic female lead.”Xin Xichun said.
She had clearly taken the poison, but she was not poisoned. Was it because she was lucky? If there really was a reason, it was probably because she was not from this era, so the poison was useless against her!
"That's true."
Wei Lin smiled. As long as Xichun was fine.
Seeing that her evil plan had failed, Ding Xiangning immediately wanted to escape secretly, but Wei Lin caught her red-handed.
"You've caused us so much trouble. Do you still want to escape?”
"I…Brother Ling, everything I did was to be with you!”The pitiful skill of the Lilac Congealing Device was not inferior to anyone else.
Unfortunately, Wei Lin was unmoved. He said,""Tell these words to the magistrate!"
After tying up the group of people, Wei Lin said to Xin Xichun,""Let's go back!"
"Yes."
Although Xin Xichun said so, her legs trembled uncontrollably when she thought about how she had almost been separated from Wei Lin forever.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Xin Xichun not moving, Wei Lin couldn't help but turn around and ask.
"I can't walk!"
Her calmness and composure just now were all lies. In fact, she was scared to death.
She was afraid that she would never see Wei Lin again, and she was even more afraid that she would never have the chance to tell Wei Lin about her pregnancy.
"I really can't do anything to you." Wei Lin carried her dotingly.
Xin Xichun could not help but exclaim,"Ling, be careful of the child!"”
"What child? Where was the child? "Could it be that Xichun, your…your stomach…" It took Wei Lin a while to understand.
Seeing that Wei Lin could not say a complete sentence for a long time, Xin Xichun finally nodded shyly with a smile and said,"
"I'm pregnant."
"Xichun, you're really amazing!"
Wei Lin shouted happily. He wanted to pick Xin Xichun up and spin her, but when he thought of her body, he carefully put her down. "I'll call a carriage for you."
"Alright."
For some reason, when Xin Xichun saw Wei Lin's excited face, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
When Wei Lin and Xin Xichun returned to the Wei Manor, Wei Zhun, Master Wei, and Madam Wei were already anxiously waiting for them at home.
Master Wei and Madam Wei had already heard about the general situation from Wei Zhun. They couldn't believe that Ding Xiangning was such a vicious woman.
"To think that I still love her like my own daughter.”Madam Wei sighed.
"That's right! Who knew that she would cause so much trouble?”Old Master Wei said. It was all because she was the daughter of an old friend that they had lost their guard against Ding Xiangning.
Madam Wei looked at Xin Xichun and said apologetically,"Xichun, I've made you suffer. Mother promises to take good care of you in the future.”
In the past, they had many misunderstandings about Xin Xichun. Now, they only felt very guilty.
"It's nothing!" Hearing her say this, Xin Xichun felt embarrassed instead. Actually, she did not suffer any grievances. Instead, she caused many things because of her willfulness. She should apologize!
At this moment, Wei Lin suddenly announced,"Xichun is pregnant."”
"What?"
"Really?"
Master Wei and Madam Wei were overjoyed. They looked at Xin Xichun's flat belly at the same time, and Xin Xichun could only nod with a red face.
"Zhun, you don't seem surprised at all?”Wei Lin looked at his younger brother.
"I knew it long ago." Wei Zhun said.
"What is it? You don't even know me, your husband, and you already know?”Wei Lin raised his eyebrows.
Wei Zhun quickly explained,"Because there was some misunderstanding between you and Sister-in-law at that time, so she didn't tell you."”
" How can you blame others, Ling?" Xin Xichun said matter-of-factly," If you were more careful, you would know that I'm pregnant. You! You don't care about me at all."
"Yes, yes, yes." Wei Lin quickly apologized." It's all my fault. This is fine!"”
Actually, he didn't think much of it. In the past, he was blinded by jealousy, so he couldn't even see the simplest thing clearly. Xin Xichun loved him, and he also loved Xin Xichun. The so-called love was trust. He loved Xin Xichun, so he had to trust her wholeheartedly.
"It was your fault."
Xin Xichun had the feeling that a mother was noble because of her son. Although Wei Lin had many shortcomings, she still loved him. With this thought in mind, Xin Xichun couldn't help but snuggle into Wei Lin's arms.
"Are you tired?"
Wei Lin fondled Xin Xichun's hair lovingly. She should be tired after a long day.
"Now that you mention it, I really do seem a little tired.”Xin Xichun replied.
"Then you guys should go in and rest!" Ever since she heard the news of Xin Xichun's pregnancy, Madam Wei couldn't stop smiling.
"Yes."
Wei Lin and Xin Xichun had a blissful smile on their faces, as if all their problems had been solved.
However, just as Wei Lin and Xin Xichun were about to walk into the room, a group of soldiers broke through the Wei Manor's door.
"What are you doing?" Wei Lin shouted unhappily.
"Milord, we have orders to capture you.”The leader of the soldiers said to Wei Lin.
"Orders? Under whose orders?" Wei Lin asked.
"Your Majesty."
"Emperor? What's the crime?" Wei Lin asked again.
"Disobeying the emperor's orders, leaving your post without permission." As he spoke, the leading soldier gave his subordinates a look. The soldiers surrounded Wei Lin to prevent him from escaping. "I hope Milord will not make things difficult for us.”
"Ling."
Xin Xichun looked at him worriedly. She was the one who harmed Wei Lin. If it wasn't for her, Wei Lin wouldn't have committed these crimes.
"Don't worry, the emperor might just want to ask me some questions. After he's done, he'll let me go.”
Although Wei Lin told Xin Xichun that, everyone knew that Wei Lin would not be released so easily.
"Ling-"
Xin Xichun wanted to say something, but Wei Lin interrupted her.""Promise me that you will wait for me to come back.”
"Yes."
If Wei Lin was safe and sound, of course she would listen to him and wait for him to come back. But if not, Xin Xichun didn't know what she would do.
"Zhun, take care of her for me." Wei Lin worriedly reminded Wei Zhun.
"I will." Wei Zhun said.
Hearing Wei Zhun's assurance, Wei Lin felt at ease and left with the soldiers.
There was no news of Wei Lin after he left, and Xin Xichun became more and more anxious. Three days later, she could not wait any longer.
"Ling must have been locked up by the Emperor. They would definitely torture him into confessing, and then Ling would be executed.”Xin Xichun said in horror.
In short, she had watched too much television in the past.
"Xichun, why do you make it sound so scary? It's as if you already knew what would happen.”Wei Zhun sighed.
Xin Xichun said with a serious expression,""Although I don't know how to predict, all emperors in the world are the same. They are temperamental and can kill people whenever they are unhappy. That's why people say that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger.”
In her opinion, the emperor might be more terrifying than a tiger!
Wei Zhun heard this and said nervously,"Xichun, these words can't be said randomly. If someone with ill intentions hears it, it'll be miserable!"”
"Don't worry, we're the only ones here."
It was because of this that Xin Xichun could speak the words in her heart without restraint.
"Even so, you still-"
Wei Zhun hadn't even finished speaking when Xin Xichun interrupted impatiently,""I want to save Ling!"
Of course, the premise was that Wei Lin had already been locked up.
"How? Alright then! If Big Brother was really locked up, how could a weak girl like you save him?”
This was not as easy as playing house.
"Aiya! He would know when the time came. Wasn't there a saying that 'where there is a will, there is a way'?”
"But the other party is the emperor!" Wei Zhun only felt that Xin Xichun had thought things too simply.
"Although the Emperor is temperamental, he is still human. There must be a way to make him release Ling. As long as you bring me to see the emperor, leave the rest to me!”Xin Xichun almost patted his chest and promised him.
"Big Brother will definitely be very angry if he finds out.”Wei Zhun said bitterly.
Sometimes, he envied his big brother for marrying such a beautiful woman, but sometimes, he sympathized with his big brother. If he were the elder brother, he would have been worried sick.
"I understand." Xin Xichun said. Just as Wei Zhun was wondering why she was so obedient, she opened her mouth and said,
"If you're afraid that Ling will get angry, you can stay at home. I'll go alone.”
"Wait! I'll go with you." Wei Zhun said helplessly.
Sigh! Why did he feel like he was being chased away?#
