195. The Last Memories

Dongfang Hui was not surprised at all that the emperor did not show himself even after he was brought to the Suburban Palace.

However, Consort Lou came over to welcome him, which surprised Dongfang Hui. But come to think of it, it was reasonable.

Consort Lou definitely didn’t know the deal he made with the Emperor. As the emperor, he hoped that his concubines could live in harmony. But the situation varied.

If the two concubines were both from different major families, the emperor might not want the two concubines to live in harmony.

However, Lou Yanqing’s only background was Han Tingxuan who was someone the emperor trusted.

Therefore, the Emperor wanted him to get along well with Consort Lou.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Hui, as a later comer, had to stay low.

In fact, Dongfang Hui did not like playing tricks to get a man’s attention. Otherwise, he would not strive for a position in the government, although he did it also to help his brother.

The wives and concubines of great families fought against each. The fight was even worse especially in the Imperial Palace.

However, he had personally forced himself to such an extent.

Dongfang Hui felt sad but he did not show it.

To Dongfang Hui’s surprise, Consort Lou was actually very easy to get along with. He did not do something to bully him at all. This made him feel relieved and confused.

“Consort Virtue, the emperor is not fully recovered yet. He is resting in the inner backyard of the inner courtyard. I usually don’t disturb him unless I have to,” Lou Yanqing and Dongfang Hui said while drinking tea.

He was hinting Dongfang Hui not to greet the emperor every day. Dongfang Hui immediately said. “Thank you for your reminder, Consort Lou. I see.”

Lou Yanqing smiled. “Your room is next to mine. If you need anything or you have a problem with your servants, you are free to tell me.”

Dongfang Hui smiled. “Thank you, Consort Lou.”

After a short conversation, Lou Yanqing smiled, “Since you are pregnant now, you have to take good care of yourself. You can do whatever you feel comfortable with.”

Dongfang Hui could not tell if there was any special meaning between the lines. He only nodded.

Lou Yanqing was exhausted. Although he felt better since the last time he had the miscarriage, he was not as healthy as before. Therefore, he paid extra attention to his own wellbeing recently.

To make him look he was extra month pregnant, he wore a thick layer of cloth under his outfit. Now his belly was big enough, especially when he walked.

Dongfang Hui could tell that Lou Yanqing was exhausted. So he said goodbye and went back to his room.

Although he was brought here, all of his servants were sent back, leaving him alone.

Right now, the two servants waited on him were arranged by Lou Yanqing. Lou Yanqing knew it very well how many secret guards in the courtyard. But Dongfang Hui did not.

In Mo Yanzhi’s room, a secret guard was reporting about Dongfang Hui.

Mo Yanzhi nodded and said, “Is everything settled?”

“Yes.”

Mo Yanzhi did not ask about Dongfang Hui anymore. In fact, he did not care about Dongfang Hui at all. Since he was here, Dongfang Hui was already in his control. The only thing he cared about was Han Tingxuan.

“How is my husband doing now?”

The secret guard hesitated for a moment. “He sleeps for a long time.”

Mo Yanzhi slowly lowered his eyes. “He hasn’t come here for a few days.. What’s he doing?”

The secret guard reported on Han Tingxuan’s daily routine. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “He contacted Prince Xian. Right now, Prince Xian is on the way back.”

Mo Yanzhi’s fists clenched slightly. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth. “You are dismissed.”

After the secret guard left, Mo Yanzhi’s two fists slowly clenched together. Then, he gently closed his eyes.

That night, when Han Tingxuan arrived, he felt that his male wife was being strange.

Thus, Han Tingxuan immediately asked, “What’s wrong? ”

Mo Yanzhi looked at Han Tingxuan and suddenly smiled. “Hubby, I am fine. Why don’t we go out and walk around?”

Han Tingxuan was stunned and did not understand what Mo Yanzhi meant. “What?”

Mo Yanzhi repeated, “Go out. Leave here.”

Han Tingxuan was stunned. “Get out? Why? ”

“I just want to go out with my husband. Didn’t you plan to leave here?” said Mo Yanzhi blandly.

Han Tingxuan paused and finally understood why Mo Yanzhi was being strange. He was already extra careful but he underestimated the abilities of the secret guards. Hence, Han Tingxuan took a deep breath. “Yanzhi…”

Mo Yanzhi interrupted him. “Hubby, you don’t want to leave nothing within the days you have left, right?”

Han Tingxuan was even more stunned. He did not expect that Mo Yanzhi would be so straightforward.

He never dared to mention this topic. It wasn’t because he was afraid of death. Of course, he was afraid of death, but he was even more afraid that Mo Yanzhi wouldn’t be able to handle it. Now Mo Yanzhi brought it up in such an easy and quiet way.

“Hubby, although my belly is getting bigger, on the contrary, we should be worried about our baby less. As long as I don’t fight fiercely, we will be safe. Can we go outside?”

At this moment, when Han Tingxuan saw how calm Mo Yanzhi was, he realized that he could not say anything or refuse him. Mo Yanzhi was actually stronger than he imagined.

Mo Yanzhi was right. If he couldn’t get through this disaster and die very shortly, would he just leave this world alone?

Would he feel regrets then?

Even if he had left, would Mo Yanzhi be at ease? Would he feel even more worried about Mo Yanzhi where he couldn’t see?

Mo Yanzhi would be worried about him too? He might be worried about not seeing him again after Han Tingxuan passed out somewhere outside.

“Yanzhi,” Han Tingxuan’s voice was a little hoarse as he hugged Mo Yanzhi. “I’m sorry.”

Mo Yanzhi closed his eyes and said, “Is that a yes?”

Han Tingxuan nodded. “I’m sorry..”

Mo Yanzhi didn’t say anything but hugged Han Tingxuan back.

Five days later, Tian Yusu arrived, together with Han. Han Tingxuan received them alone because Mo Yanzhi started to show.

Tian Yusu looked at Han Tingxuan with a frown. “You brought me back in such a hurry just to tell me that you want to have a trip outside with the Emperor? And you want me to fit him in for a while?”

Han Tingxuan nodded with a smile. “Yes.”

Tian Yusu almost exploded. “Han Tingxuan! You’re crazy!”

Han Tingxuan looked at Tian Yusu innocently. “There’s no other choice. This is what the Emperor wants. I don’t want to leave either. But…”

Tian Yusu’s mouth twitched when he heard this.

Han Tingxuan looked at Han. “Uncle, are you going to help or not?”

Han Tingxuan glanced at Han once in a while, sending a signal.

Threats! Han Tingxuan was threating him! Tian Yusu almost died from anger.

But thinking if Han Tingxuan told Han about the story between him and Tian Yuexi, Tian Yusu had to calm himself down. But someday, he will peel Han Tingxuan’s skin, when Han was not around.

“Uncle,” said Han Tingxuan. “In fact, we have a good reason to leave, but we can’t tell you the reason now. In less than half a year, you will know.”

Half a year later, their child would be born. Whether he would die or not, there would be a result.

At that time, he would come up with another explanation to fool Tian Yusu.

If Tian Yusu knew what Han Tingxuan was thinking right now, he would probably die of anger!

Tian Yusu didn’t know any of it. Therefore, he said seriously, “The conflict between the Kungfu master are still going on. Two other cult groups recently appeared. I don’t know what they are up to. It’s too unsafe for you and the Emperor to have a trip outside at this time.”

“In City of Jade?” Han Tingxuan raised an eyebrow.

Tian Yusu nodded and looked even more solemn. “Although after these days, I have destroyed a lot of the power of those two cult groups. But you suddenly called me back. Although my manpower is still there, with me being absent, I’m afraid that those righteous sects might not be deterred.”

Han Tingxuan thought about it and said, “Then you should go back.”

Tian Yusu was suspicious. “But the emperor…”

“Didn’t the two premiers deal well with the national affairs when the Emperor is not in his position?”

Tian Yusu paused. “But, after all, we can’t trust them wholeheartedly.”

“No.” Han Tingxuan shook his head. “Now since Dongfang Hui is Consort Virtue, the Dongfang family will be on our side.”

“Right, I don’t know why Dongguang Hui became Consort Virtue. What’s going on?” Tian Yusu hurriedly asked. He received the message on his way back but he really didn’t know what was going on.

Han Tingxuan did not explain details to Tian Yusu. He only said that he had a secret of the Dongfang family. From a certain point of view, Dongfang Hui was a hostage.

Tian Yusu immediately thought of a question. “But if Dongfang Hui gave birth to a he-man who becomes the crown prince, then the Dongfang family would be a bigger trouble!”

Han Tingxuan smiled faintly. “Dongfang Hui’s son will be surnamed Dongfang and he will only be the future master of the Dongfang family.

Tian Yusu’s eyes lit up when he heard this. “This is not a bad idea.”

Han Tingxuan smiled at Tian Yusu. “Are there any more questions you want to know?”

Tian Yusu rolled his eyes. “Since you’ve already thought it so thoroughly, what else can I say? However, I still disagree with the Emperor taking the risk personally.”

Han Tingxuan sighed in his mind. If he was Tian Yuexi, he would not have personally taken risks.

However, the Emperor was his male wife. Once Mo Yanzhi had made up his mind, no one could change his mind.

Besides, Mo Yanzhi was persuaded to become the Emperor in the first place not for the sake of the country, but for revenge their dead son.

However, now that he had another child, Han Tingxuan was ill. How could Mo Yanzhi do nothing?

Furthermore, they could solve some problems on the trip.

Some problems hidden in the dark. There were still pros.

Furthermore, they had to find out the whereabouts of their Master Shifu, Haishan The Elderly.

According to the news had recently received, their master had contacted Wu Qiankun! The last person he met before he disappeared was Wu Qiankun, a discipline of Haishan The Elderly!

It was also one of the reasons why Mo Yanzhi suggested to have a trip outside.

Apart from that, if he really couldn’t make it, this trip would be the last memory that Mo Yanzhi had.

He only hoped that Mo Yanzhi would not do something terrible after he died since their son would be too young and the country still would need an emperor.

With that thought, Han Tingxuan found himself smiling bitterly.

They had promised that they would live and die together before. When they made that vow, Han Tingxuan was the healthy one and Mo Yanzhi was the ill one.

But now when he was ill, he hoped that his Yanzhi would live well.
