Chapter 177 Pregnant

Jiang Zhu carried Ye Annian from the path beside the study to the backyard.

　　Only then did Ye Annian realize that there was a cave behind this place. It was actually a very large garden.

　　In the center is a natural moon-shaped pool. Beside the pool stands an octagonal pavilion and a curved bridge that spans the pool and connects to the shore.

　　Jiang Zhu hugged him and went straight to the bridge. After passing through the curved bridge and the pavilion, he saw a garden planted with dwarf peonies and stacked Taihu stones. Without looking further, the two walked out from the moon cave door next to the garden. Entering, it turns out to be an independent small courtyard.

　　The small courtyard is a two-story attic with a simple shape. The courtyard is full of nandina bamboos. There is only a shelf set up in a small open space in front of the building. The shelf is covered with honeysuckle vines. The leaves are green and have already covered the flower stand. , covering a large shadow.

　　After entering the small courtyard, Jiang Zhu carried the person straight to the second floor, kicked open the door, and put Ye Anyian on a chair.

　　"Sit down for a while, and I'll ask someone to get hot water for you to wash your face," Jiang Zhu said.

　　As he spoke, he reached out to pull the fake beard and eyebrows stuck on Ye Anian's face, and muttered: "Where did you get this? It's so ugly."

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　Truthfully said: "When I was in Danzhou, Zimo took me to a drug store, and the proprietress of the drug store gave it to me."

　　Many of Bai Hezhai's shops outside serve as contact points. Due to the needs of the mission, these camouflage items will be prepared.

　　Jiang Zhu curled his lips, gently pulled off the fake beard and eyebrows on Ye Anyian's face, pinched his cheeks: "Okay. It's quite useful. I thought you were dressed like this at first glance. I really didn't recognize it."

　　Ye Anyian curled his lips when he heard this.

　　Not long after, a disciple in charge of logistics from Bai He Zhai brought hot water and thoughtfully prepared a new veil.

　　Jiang Zhu said to the disciple: "Let the bathhouse boil more hot water."

　　Ye Annian and the others had been running all the way, so it was time to take a good wash and get rid of the fatigue on their bodies.

　　The disciple responded and retreated.

　　Ye Anyian carefully washed off the brown paint on his face, hands and neck, and his whole body suddenly became white again.

　　His clear eyes, slightly raised eyebrows, small nose and slightly cool lips all seemed to have a hook when he looked at people.

　　"Hiss~"

　　Jiang Zhu frowned and looked at Ye Anyian with his chin in his hand.

　　Ye Anyian wiped his hands with a towel and flirted with him: "What's wrong?"

　　"Why have you lost so much weight? Do you have a loss of appetite because you sleep in the open?"

　　As he spoke, he came over, put one hand on the back of the chair behind Ye Anyian, and looked down at the people below him.

"Well," Ye Anyian nodded, "You've been gone for two months and I haven't heard from you at all. I didn't know where to go when I came to look for you, so how could I still be in the mood to eat."

　　"Ahem," Jiang Zhu said, feeling guilty and looking away, "It's all the old man's fault."

　　Ye Annian didn't really want to argue with him. Anyway, he found the person. Knowing that Jiang Zhu was fine and not deliberately not going back, he finally felt relieved.

　　"Let's not talk about this anymore. Since Senior Xie won't let you go back, how long will you stay here?"

　　"Well..." Jiang Zhu reached out and put his hand on Ye Anyian's wrist. Just as he was about to answer, he was suddenly startled, "Nian Nian?"

　　Ye Annian was startled by his tone and frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

　　"You..." Jiang Zhu touched his wrist in disbelief, "You have it?!"

　　"What's more?" Ye Anyian hadn't realized what he meant.

　　"You're pregnant, don't you know?"

　　Ye Annian was also stunned for a moment, recalling his physical reaction along the way, and seemed to understand something.

　　He looked at Jiang Zhu with some confusion and shook his head slightly.

　　It was also his first time being pregnant, so how could he know this.

　　"I remember, I left some medicine for you when I left, but you didn't drink it?" Jiang Zhu asked tentatively.

　　Ye Anyian shook his head: "I accidentally knocked it over."

　　Jiang Zhu:...

　　"It's my fault." He sighed, got up from Ye Anyian and sat on the chair next to him.

　　"You don't want it?" Ye Anian's hand on the armrest of the chair suddenly tightened, and the veins on the back of his fair and thin hand were bulging.

　　"Of course not." Jiang Zhu quickly denied, then asked hesitantly, "It's not you...don't want to?"

　　Ye Anyian had always been opposed to pregnancy before, so they would take measures every time. Only last time there was an accident.

　　"Me," Ye Anian bit his lip, "If you want, I...I can also..."

　　Jiang Zhu's tense heart suddenly relaxed. He took Ye Anyian's hand and smiled with his peach blossom eyes: "Niannian, why are you so good?"

　　Ye Anyian rolled his eyes at him, but his ears turned red.

　　After all was said and done, Jiang Zhu checked his pulse again. Fortunately, the pulse was stable, but the exhaustion of traveling along the way and the poor food made Ye Anian a little weak.

　　"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll do it?"

　　Ye Anyian nodded. He had eaten something at the inn in Danzhou yesterday and was already very hungry. However, because of his poor appetite, he vomited almost everything he ate and couldn't eat at all.

　　He thought for a while: "I want to eat small wontons."

　　"Okay, then you go take a good bath first, and I'll make you some food." Jiang Zhu said.

　　Ye Anyian: "Yeah."

　　Jiang Zhu took out a set of his own clean obscene clothes and outer robes from the closet and gave them to Ye Anyian. He also asked the logistics disciples to bring a plate of moderately sweet snacks and asked Ye Anyian to eat two pieces first. , so as not to lose strength and pass out after taking a bath.

　　Ye Anyian had no appetite for the plate of snacks, but knowing that it was not good to take a bath on an empty stomach, he still ate two pieces, and the feeling of hunger finally subsided.

　　Jiang Zhu took him to the bathroom and prepared bath towels, bathrobes and scented beads for him before leaving.

　　On the other side, Zi Mo and Zi Yu arrived with Zhang Lu soon after. Zi Yu asked the logistics disciples in Zhaili to arrange a room for him, rest and bathe, and prepare meals. Then she took Zi Mo to see Xie Xiaogong.

After many days of traveling and traveling, Ye Annian soaked in the warm bathtub and closed his eyes comfortably.

　　All the problems I had worried about on the road seemed to be solved at once.

　　He recalled meeting Liu Zhuo in Danzhou, the proud look in his eyes when he was sure he would lose, and the corners of his lips curled up.

　　By now, Liu Zhuo must have discovered that he had run away with Zhang Lu, and he would probably be furious.

　　However, when he thought of what Liu Zhuo said, his relaxed heart sank again.

　　Jiang Zhu, is it really related to the current prince? If he is really Jiang Shengwan, is it really him who did what happened in Yueliang City and the Xu Mansion?

　　Ye Anian suddenly became uneasy again. If he didn't know this, he could have lived in a muddle, but now, Liu Zhuo had revealed all of this to him.

　　This window paper that already has cracks will probably break with just the slightest touch.

　　Before he could think about it, Jiang Zhu's voice came from behind the screen.

　　"Nian Nian, the meal is ready, are you still not feeling well?"

　　Only then did Ye Anyian come to his senses. The water in the bathtub was already warm.

　　"That'll be fine." He responded, washed it quickly, then dried it and got dressed.

　　Jiang Zhu was sitting on a chair outside waiting for him. When he saw him coming out with wet hair, he pulled him to sit next to her and wiped him dry with an absorbent cotton towel.

　　Fortunately, it wasn't cold anymore, and his hair was almost dry after wiping it for a while. Jiang Zhu took him through the corridor and returned to the small courtyard.

　　This time, he finally saw clearly the plaque on the small attic, which read the word "一家".

　　Ye Anyian was curious: "Why is it called this?"

　　Jiang Zhu pulled him to sit down at the table, pushed the cooked wontons in front of him, and looked at him with his chin in his hand: "Well, because when I first built this place, I actually wanted to write 'Medical House', but The carpenter who was responsible for engraving the plaque made a mistake, and then he made a mistake and turned it into "One House".

　　"But... isn't there a study built in front?" Ye Anyian was puzzled.

　　Baihezhai looked like a large academy, but the disciples there, some with books, some with swords, looked like a martial arts sect, which he was a little confused about.

　　"In the beginning, Baihe Study was indeed called 'White Crane Study'. When I established it, my original intention was to take in poor homeless children and learn something so that they would be able to support themselves when they grow up."

"I was also picked up by an old man, so when I was fifteen years old, I went out and founded Baihe Study."

　　"Fifteen years old." Ye Anyian was a little surprised as he ate the wontons, "You became independent at such a young age?"

　　"It's getting late," Jiang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, "If he were born into an emperor's family, he would be able to fight on the battlefield by fifteen or sixteen."

　　Well, this seems to be true in ancient times. No matter men, women or brothers, they started families very early.

　　Ye Anyian nodded and continued eating his wontons.

　　"I learned some kung fu and medical skills from the old man, so I mainly teach them these. When they leave, those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who want to leave will also have skills with them." Jiang Zhu continued.

　　"Then what happened later, why did you change your name?" Ye Anyian asked.

　　Jiang Zhu paused, but did not answer immediately. He just said: "This is another matter."

　　Ye Anyian just finished eating. He wiped his mouth and hands with a handkerchief and looked at Jiang Zhu: "Then let's talk about something else."

　　Jiang Zhu was holding his chin in a relaxed posture and staring at him. As soon as Ye Anian said these words, he subconsciously retracted his hand and sat up straight.

　　His expression instantly became serious: "You really want to know?"

　　"You promised me that you would tell me everything when you go back." Ye Annian looked at him and said word by word, "Now that you haven't gone back, but I came to find you, these words should still count. "

　　Jiang Zhu was stunned for a moment: "Make a count."

　　He looked away, acting as if nothing had happened, and looked out the window at the green courtyard: "If you want to know anything, just ask."

　　He asked Ye Anyian to ask casually, but Ye Anyian took it as a courtesy.

　　"Back then, when we went to Anxing County with Mr. Wen to select a location for a new store, do you still remember the scriptbook of "Yueliang City" that we listened to in the teahouse?"

　　Jiang Zhu nodded: "Remember."

　　"So, the name 'Jiang Zhu' is actually a pseudonym, right? Your real name is actually: Jiang Shengwan, right?"

　　"right."

　　"So, you were really close friends with the current prince? Those people in Yueliang City were also you..."

　　"Yes," before he could finish speaking, Jiang Zhu had already spoken, "I killed those people, but the prince and I are not close friends, we are old enemies. We have always been."

　　There was a sudden soreness in his stomach. Ye Anyian frowned in discomfort and raised his hand to cover his mouth.

　　Jiang Zhu noticed something strange about him and quickly brought Zha Dou over next to him: "Are you okay?"

　　Ye Annian waved his hand, but didn't bother to look back at him. He vomited in Zhidu and vomited all the bowl of wontons he had just eaten.
