Time flies, and it is June in a blink of an eye.
Duan Changchuan had never replied to the last letter from Bai Su, and he would read the letter over and over again when he missed her. He felt that he should not let Xiao Ba run non-stop just because of a little bit of love at this time, and wanted to wait for the letter from Old Sun, and then let Xiao Ba take the letter to both of them.
As a result, life became particularly difficult.
Today was a day off, and the young man was sitting alone at his desk, staring blankly at the letter from Bai Su. Changle's voice came from outside the door, announcing, "Your Majesty, Lord Yun is here."
Duan Changchuan thought Yun Xie was in trouble and quickly asked someone to come in.
The young man came over in a hurry and sat down next to him. He first used an excuse to send Changle away, then became uneasy and hesitated to speak.
Duan Changchuan: …
The young man took a deep breath and finally said with great determination: "Aunt kissed me today."
Duan Changchuan: …
She just rolled her eyes at him.
I thought it was nothing, just a kiss, but he was so excited that he traveled all the way from the Imperial Observatory to the Mingsheng Temple and was still so restless.
No future.
Perhaps he could see Duan Changchuan's inner contempt, so the young man quickly tried to make amends: "No... we kissed before, I think I told you about it, but I don't remember, but today is different!"
Duan Changchuan: "What's the difference?"
How can kissing be different? It's basically the same. Maybe the emotions are different, but the movements should be the same, right
Yun Xie: "Auntie touched me when she kissed me today!"
Phew…
Hahahaha.
Someone who had been laughing at him finally got the backlash.
The young man didn't say a word, he just couldn't stop laughing. Yun Xie had no choice but to push him away: "Okay, okay, I know it's funny! But please stop laughing first, okay? I haven't even finished my words yet."
The young man stopped laughing and looked at him with his beautiful eyes: "Then tell me, where did your aunt touch you?"
Yun Xie: "She touched many places! My waist and back. I touched her too, but she refused to let me. She even turned my arm behind my back... I was about to have sex with her, and then I don't know why, she suddenly touched my butt! Is she trying to have sex with me?"
Duan Changchuan: "Nonsense, the premise for you to agree to date her is that she likes you, she definitely wants you."
Yun Xie: …
"But I'm not ready! No... I didn't plan to prepare. At the beginning, I thought we should be together first, just in case she was willing to let me do something, right? Who knew she was so strong? You don't even know the situation at that time, she just...! Oh, I can't say this, anyway, the situation was very critical. Tell me, what good would it do her if she did that to me? I'm not like you who can get pregnant, and I can't have a baby, and she's not happy either. What is she trying to do? I don't understand."
Duan Changchuan: "... Maybe it's because this thing itself can make her happy?"
Yun Xie: …
He had a sad face and was fanning himself with a creaking sound.
"I told you long ago to prepare yourself. Aunt is such a powerful person. If she really wants to do something to you, you won't have any chance to resist."
The young man said with a sad face: "I never thought that a weak woman like her could suppress a big man like me in just a few moves. I don't know what she did to me, but I couldn't do anything at all, as if I was drugged... You're right, I didn't even have the slightest chance to resist..."
Duan Changchuan: "How about you tell her that you are not ready yet and give her some time? Auntie is always easy to talk to and has always been very abstinent. She shouldn't embarrass you because of this kind of thing."
Yun Xie: "It's too late... She invited me to bathe with her tonight, and I've already agreed. I'm afraid that if I say I'm not ready, she won't want to be with me anymore. Aunt is so beautiful, and there are so many good-looking men in Shengjing. If she doesn't want me, there will definitely be many people willing to be with her. It won't be easy to find another one."
Duan Changchuan: …
I want to say: Although there are many good-looking men in Shengjing, most of them are not as good-looking as you; although your aunt is beautiful and capable, there are probably almost no men who can match her in style. Only you like her so much and are willing to lie down for love.
But the other party had already agreed to take a bath together, so he could only: "... Be optimistic, maybe then you will find it less difficult to accept?"
Then, both of them fell silent.
After a while, the young man came over again: "Why don't you give me some lessons so that I can be prepared... What was it like when you and the queen did that? Don't lie to me now! You two must have done everything. I've read all the books I found, and I almost understand them, but what is it like exactly? The people in the books are in ecstasy, but I don't believe them. Does it hurt? How much? You say that this is a matter that neither side can get over, why is she so persistent... Or, see, what are the chances that I can subdue her tonight? Does Doctor Huang have any medicine that can be used? Is it too late for me to go there now?"
Duan Changchuan was overwhelmed by the series of questions.
And she wanted to roll her eyes at him: "First of all, Bai Su and I are different from you and your aunt. My tribe was originally like this. She is A and I am O. I have organs that can be used to bear it, and Bai Su also has organs that can be used to bear it on me, but you don't."
Yun Xie: "Then can you tell me how it feels psychologically... You are a grown man, not... We are two grown men, but a weak woman is holding us down. How do you feel psychologically? Do you want to die?"
Duan Changchuan: "... Do you think I want to die now?"
Yun Xie: "But I want to die..."
Duan Changchuan: …
I can't continue the conversation.
Why not just go and call someone: "Changle? Come over and see the guests off! Or you can call Aunt Fengqin over."
My mouth was covered: "Hey, wait, don't ask my aunt to come over!"
However, Changle had already led someone in while they were talking: "What a coincidence, I was just about to pass on the message, and His Majesty said to ask someone to come in, Aunt Fengxian, please come in quickly."
Then, a woman in plain white clothes walked in.
Holding a booklet in his hand.
After entering, he bowed to Duan Changchuan, then glanced at the young man beside him: "Why didn't you call me over? Yun'er, did you say something again to make His Majesty angry?"
The man who had been somewhat arrogant just now and asked "What are the chances of me taming her tonight?", immediately behaved himself when he saw Feng Xian, like a mouse seeing a cat.
"How dare I make him angry now? He's already four months pregnant. He just thinks I talk too much and nag him."
After saying that, he obediently got up and ran to the opposite side, sitting with his aunt.
Feng Xian smiled and took his hand, asking, "Why didn't you tell me that you were coming to visit His Majesty? Yesterday, the owner of the restaurant in Shengjing sent me the account book. I wanted to ask you to come and present it to His Majesty, but I asked the disciples in the palace and found out that you had already come."
"Well, I was afraid you were busy, so I didn't let anyone know."
"It's true that I've been a bit busy recently, but some shops are already on track, so I can take a break for a while. Is there anything you want to do? I can accompany you. It's June now, and the lotus flowers should be blooming. Why don't we go to the lotus pond in the suburbs of Beijing to go boating sometime?"
"Well, sure."
"Um."
Such a disgusting conversation... Ugh.
Yun Xie was a useless man, he just did whatever Feng Qi said. No wonder, when Feng Qi invited him to bathe together at night, he agreed directly, he was simply being taken advantage of.
Duan Changchuan was looking at the account book and complaining in his heart.
Then he put the account book on the table and said to the two of them, "Leave this account book here for now. It will take me some time to read it all."
The subtext is: Is there anything else? If not, then go away. I don't want to see you two being so affectionate.
Feng Xian immediately understood what he meant, stood up and said, "Miss Bai said that the account book should be presented directly to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will naturally understand it, so I will not elaborate on it for now. Your Majesty, if you have anything to say to me after reading it, you can send someone to the Imperial Observatory to call me at any time. In addition, I have something to tell Miss Bai. If Your Majesty has a letter to give to Miss Bai, can you wait a moment? I will deliver the letter to you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, okay. I happen to be writing to her tonight, so you're welcome, aunt."
"Then Yun'er and I will not disturb Your Majesty's rest. We will take our leave now."
"Yes. Changle, send Aunt Fengqian and Lord Yun off."
"yes."
…
-
Without the annoying Yun Xie, Duan Changchuan finally had the mind to do his own thing.
I don't know how he's spending tonight... How about finding an excuse to go see him tomorrow
Duan Changchuan was really curious.
But if they really did it tonight, they would definitely be fed a mouthful of dog food tomorrow, right
Forget it, let's wait a few days. Maybe Bai Su will come back in a few days
The boy thought to himself, spread out a piece of letter paper, and began to write the letter seriously.
[To my dear Alpha,
It’s nice to be in person.
I'm sorry that I haven't replied to your last letter for so long. The epidemic in Huainan is serious now and we are short of manpower. I always feel uneasy about bothering Xiaoqi and Xiaoba to deliver letters for personal matters of love, so I thought about waiting for Mr. Sun's memorial to arrive, and then write your reply together and let Xiaoba deliver it. But Aunt Feng Xian came over today and said she had something to tell you, so I also had a reason to reply to you.
How is your sister (crossed out) doing these days? Has Huainan entered the plum rain season? I'd like to trouble you to keep a closer eye on it. Huainan suffered a severe drought last year, and there may be a risk of floods this year. I can't remember where I saw this statement, and maybe I don't remember it clearly, but it's always better to be more careful.
I have been living very well these days. Some time ago, an assassin got past the Imperial Guards and entered the Ming Sheng Temple. Thanks to the firearms you sent before I left, when I shot out the poison needle, the assassin was startled by the gunshot and didn't come back to his senses. I killed the remaining ones at once, using three in total. However, the Imperial Guards have screened out the traitors and have stepped up their vigilance. They should not dare to act rashly for the time being.]
The young man bent over the table and wrote for a long time, finishing one page after another, explaining many things. Anyway, modern text is completely encrypted for this ancient time, so there is no need to worry about it. Besides, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba have always been cautious in doing things, so there is no need to worry.
After I finished writing down everything that was in my mind, I realized that I had already written three long pages.
Even though I have emptied my mind, I am still reluctant to leave.
Looking at the last blank space, I thought about it and decided to add the last sentence:
[I like the second letter from last time.
Sister, can you please write another one
Your Omega: Duan Xiaochuan]
After thinking for a while, he carefully used a brush to draw a picture of a little man who looked very much like himself.
I blew the ink dry shyly, rolled it up and put it in a paper bucket.
He wanted to use the handkerchief from last time to get some more pheromones on it, but then he remembered that he had used the handkerchief to do something bad a few days ago and had thrown it away.
Then, he took out a bright yellow handkerchief embroidered with dragon patterns from the drawer...
Then, he gestured with his hands and measured upwards: This handkerchief should be able to be used to make Bai Su cough... right
How many fingers did she have? Three? Four... ? Uh, five? Not that many...
As he was gesturing, there was a knock on the door.
Knock twice and then stop, the secret guard has news to report.
He quickly put down his handkerchief, sat upright, and said, "Come in."
The man who came was short and wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes. He turned out to be Xiao Eleven, who was supposed to be responsible for Bai Su's daily life in Huainan.
Moreover, before Bai Su left, he secretly instructed the secret guards to take good care of Bai Su and to report quickly if she showed any symptoms of illness.
So, the moment he saw that it was Xiao Eleven, the boy’s face turned pale.
"Why are you back? What happened to the Queen?"
Xiao Shiyi knelt on one knee and quickly reported: "Your Majesty ordered me to take good care of the Queen. If she feels unwell, I must report it. The main symptoms of this plague are cough, chills, nasal congestion and high fever. People will quickly become exhausted within three or two days. The Queen has had a cough these days, and it sounds like she has a stuffy nose when she speaks. I remembered your Majesty's instructions and came to report it without stopping."
When Duan Changchuan heard this, his body froze immediately.
His already pale complexion instantly lost all its color.
The secret guard kneeling on the ground had kept his head down, but after waiting for a while and hearing no response, he finally raised his head and looked at the person.
Only then did I realize that the young man's face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans began to drip down his forehead. He could not even sit steadily and was about to slide down.
He quickly ran over and supported the person.
"Your Majesty! Boss, Seventh and Eighth Brother! Changle Yiman! Help!"
What kind of scenes have the secret guards who live by swords and blood have they not seen? Who would have thought that the first "help" he would say would be in such an occasion.
However, His Majesty usually looks steady and majestic. At this moment, when he was holding someone, Eleven suddenly felt that His Majesty was so soft! Moreover, his eyelashes were so long and his skin was so tender!
Eleven is a rough man. Even if someone points a knife at him, he won't blink. Anyway, the worst that can happen is death. Eighteen years later, I am still a good man!
But now he was standing next to the noble young man, holding him gently with one hand, and he was so frightened that he dared not move.
Fortunately, everyone came in quickly.
Changle rushed over and quickly took over from Eleven and helped Duan Changchuan up.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? He was fine just now when Lord Yun and the others were here! Yiman, go and get Dr. Huang to come over, quickly! Dr. Huang walks too slowly, so have someone carry him over on a sedan chair!"
After saying this, he kept patting his back to calm him down: "Your Majesty, calm down. Tell me what happened and where you feel uncomfortable. Don't scare me..."
But the boy just bit his lip, closed his eyes, and never said a word.
So, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Eleven.
The leader of the secret guards, Xiao Yi, kicked him directly and said, "Your Majesty, what's the matter? Tell me quickly."
Eleven was also confused: "Your Majesty asked me to look after the Queen and told me to report back if she had any symptoms... I told Your Majesty the main symptoms of the plague. The Queen had a cough and a stuffy nose, and Your Majesty suddenly became unwell. I don't know what happened... "
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked three times.
It was the leader, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba who kicked him.
Changle wanted to smash the inkstone on the table on his head: "You all know that His Majesty is pregnant, and you also know how important the Queen is to His Majesty! And you are still using these to provoke His Majesty! Don't you know to weigh it in your mind before reporting to His Majesty!"
Eleven was very confused: "But, His Majesty told me not to tell anyone, just tell him the truth."
After saying that, he looked at the leader of the secret guards in confusion: "Isn't that right, boss? Didn't we say that His Majesty's order is the only order?"
Xiaoyi, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba all said: …
It seems to be right, but it also seems not quite right. I don’t know what’s wrong…
The young man sitting in the first seat slowly opened his eyes and said weakly: "I gave the order, and I want to hear the truth from you. If I discuss it with you, will I still hear the truth?"
Changle hurriedly stroked his back to comfort him: "Your Majesty, please don't get angry anymore. Take a deep breath... It's just a cough and a stuffy nose, don't scare yourself. The Queen is blessed with good fortune, she will be fine. It's common for us to sneeze and cough when we are exposed to cold wind or catch a cold at night. How can it be an epidemic? Don't scare yourself. What if the Queen comes back and you fall ill? The Queen will be so worried..."
There is no effect.
He was so angry that he glared at Eleven, and said, "What's the situation with the Empress, what's the situation with the palace, and how serious the plague is? Tell His Majesty when the time comes!"
The rough man with a simple and naive look finally reacted and quickly patched up: "The plague is under control quite well. A month has passed and no case has been found outside Huainan City. Elder Sun arranged for his disciples to patrol the city every day. They would go to any family that had symptoms and treat them immediately. The medicine also worked. Fewer people died these days, and fewer people got sick. Some were cured and recovered. They are all doing quite well."
Changle: "What about in the palace? Are there any signs of infection?"
"No, no! Everyone in the palace is fine. The Queen is even more careful about what she eats and uses. They are all fumigated with atractylodes and mugwort. The Queen also has something in her hand... It is said that alcohol is very useful. It can reduce fever for people with high fever and prevent infection for healthy people. It is very useful!"
Changle quickly supported Duan Changchuan and comforted him, "Look, there's nothing wrong. The disease hasn't even spread to Huainan City. Your Majesty is so far away, how could she be infected? You're just scaring yourself. You heard what Eleven said, Your Majesty has alcohol, such a powerful thing, which can prevent infection by just rubbing it. Your Majesty herself will not get it, don't you think?"
Alcohol…
If a person with high fever applies the wipe, the fever can be reduced. Isn't that simple physical cooling
If people who don't have the disease wipe it, it can prevent infection. Isn't that disinfection and sterilization
If Duan Changchuan was an ancient man, he would definitely be fooled by this group of people. But he is a modern man, and he understands all modern knowledge.
How can alcohol be so effective? Germs are everywhere, invisible to the naked eye, and hard to prevent. Rubbing with alcohol can't prevent germ infection by 100%, and even 50 or 70% may not be guaranteed. It depends on the specific situation.
This gave him no comfort at all.
If he hadn't taken into consideration his status as an emperor and the baby in his belly, he would have wanted to run to the palace right now.
The people around him were still trying to comfort him, but he couldn't hear a word they said.
Everyone was saying: The Queen might have just caught a cold. It was the rainy season in Huainan again, so maybe she just didn't wear enough clothes when she went out.
But Bai Su is an Alpha, her body is ten or even twenty times stronger than that of an average person, and a common cold can't even reach her... How could she have a cough or a stuffy nose? He couldn't tell these people about this.
This was also the reason why Duan Changchuan had instructed Eleven that if Bai Su showed any symptoms of the epidemic, he must return to the palace immediately to tell him.
Because Alpha almost never gets sick, once Bai Su shows symptoms, it is almost 100% certain that he has contracted the epidemic.
The more Duan Changchuan thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more sad he became...
It happened that Huang, the old imperial physician, was invited over. He entered the room pounding his waist and cursing, "I've never ridden in such a bumpy sedan chair before! You call this a sedan chair, right? My old bones are almost falling apart!"
And the boy who had been silent since just now and showed no reaction to others' advice...
The moment the old man came in, she raised her eyes slightly and tears fell down.
Doctor Huang immediately became very excited: !!!
She didn't even care about her legs that were still shaking after riding the sedan chair, and hurried to his side: "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Don't panic, don't panic, I'll check your pulse right away. Everything has been fine these past two days, the baby must be fine, don't panic, it's just a small matter."
Unexpectedly, the young man had no intention of taking his pulse. Instead, he pulled up his arm and gently put it around his waist.
"Grandpa Huang... Eleven said that my sister has been coughing and has a stuffy nose these days... I'm worried about her."
The author has something to say:
Ying, don't cry, don't cry (rua)

Duan Xiaochuan: Grandpa Huang QAQ
Doctor Huang: Grandpa…Grandpa Emperor? That’s not allowed! I’m afraid it will shorten my life span!
