On the road from the capital to Hanshan, six people on six horses galloped by. These people were spies sent by Mu Yiyun to Liaodong. After they found out that Liu Rushi was still alive, they rushed to Hanshan to report the news.
"Swish, swish, swish..." Suddenly, more than a dozen arrows shot towards the six people from the woods.
The six men drew their swords and deflected the incoming arrows.
"Thud!" One of them was unfortunately hit by an arrow, and he fell off his mount.
"Don't worry about me, let's go!" the man shouted as his companion turned around.
"Hurry up!" The leader, named Li Fengfan, nodded solemnly to the man and led the remaining four people away at breakneck speed.
"Quickly! Don't let them get away!" A dozen or so people sprang out of the woods and rode after them.
Li Fengfan frowned, glancing back at his fallen comrade, now dead beneath a hail of blades. This was the fourth attack they had encountered along the way; originally twenty-odd men, now only five remained. They were still over a hundred li from Hanshan, and if they traveled without stopping, they could reach it in a day.
But Li Fengfan didn't know if he would return to Hanshan alive. He also didn't know who had been hunting them down. Was it the Emperor? Or the Donglin Party? Why did someone want the principal to know that Ms. Liu Rushi was still alive?
In fact, all these assassins were sent by Sheng Lan. Since Liu Rushi's "death," the people who were originally loyal to Liu Rushi have gradually been incorporated into Mu Yiyun and Sheng Lan's ranks.
In Hanshan today, among Wang Wenzhou's children, Mu Yiyun is the most influential. When Wang Wenzhou was trapped in the capital, Mu Yiyun was in charge of Hanshan, and thus she absorbed most of the power left by Liu Rushi.
Due to historical reasons, Sheng Lanbao's power remains considerable. Although Sheng Lan died in an explosion and acted under the identity of Jian Fengyu, many of Sheng Lanbao's confidants knew her true identity. Therefore, Sheng Lanbao's original power still exists. After Liu Rushi's "death," a portion of her power was also absorbed by Sheng Lanbao.
This time, Wang Wenzhou sent people to Liaodong to gather information, and Sheng Lan was the first to learn that the little bitch Liu Rushi was still alive.
The hatred for the murder of her child is irreconcilable. How could Sheng Lanbao let Wang Wenzhou know about this? Knowing Wang Wenzhou as she did, if he knew that little bitch Liu Rushi was still alive, he would definitely go after her at all costs.
Putting aside the deep-seated hatred between Sheng Lan and Liu Rushi, given the current situation alone, Sheng Lan wouldn't dare let Wang Wenzhou go to see that bitch. If Wang Wenzhou were to risk his life, he would either be secretly killed by Zhu Youjian or by Huang Taiji.
Therefore, Sheng Lan decided to keep the news a secret and prevent Wang Wenzhou from learning about it.
At this moment, Wang Wenzhou was holding his baby, Da Yu'er, and drinking. Lately, things had been incredibly dark for Wang Wenzhou. One misfortune after another struck; either one baby was cheating on him, or another had changed their mind.
Wang Wenzhou took a sip of wine from Da Yu'er's mouth and said sadly, "Baby, baby, tell me, why can't there be some trust between people? Husbands and wives become enemies, brothers turn against each other. Am I the kind of heartless bastard?"
Da Yu'er took Wang Wenzhou's arm, rested her face on his shoulder, and whispered, "Husband, don't be sad. I think Xiao Liang is a good boy, but that bitch Wen Lian Die is too lewd. She must have seduced Xiao Liang! Come to think of it, you can't blame Xiao Liang for this!"
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed and said helplessly, "I just don't understand. I've been good to Xiaodie! She ran off with some other man and was bullied by him. I took her in. I never expected that she would seduce Xiaoliang!"
"Huh?" Wang Wenzhou suddenly frowned and said in confusion, "Something's not right! I feel like this doesn't make sense!"
Da Yu'er smiled bitterly to herself. "My nemesis, you're only just realizing this now? Something's definitely fishy. Even if Sheng Liang is a lecher, does he have the guts to do this? He's already slept with your concubine once; would he dare do it again? It must be that little bitch Mu Yiyun who framed him!"
"Knock knock!" Suddenly, Sheng Lan knocked on the door and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
"Come in, what's the matter?" Wang Wenzhou said.
Sheng Lan entered the room, cupped his hands in greeting, and reported, "Your Highness, Madam Mu Yiyun suddenly felt unwell. We have summoned all the doctors in Hanshan, but they are all helpless..."
"What?" Before Sheng Lan could finish speaking, Wang Wenzhou stood up and hurriedly went to Mu Yiyun's courtyard.
In the courtyard, a group of trembling doctors knelt. The guards, all holding weapons, subtly surrounded the doctors.
Wang Wenzhou ignored these people, pushed open the door and went inside. As soon as he entered, he saw Mu Yiyun holding something in her arms and crying loudly.
Wang Wenzhou rushed over and asked, "Baby, what's wrong with the baby?"
"Waaaaah..." Baby Mu Yiyun cried even harder when she saw Wang Wenzhou arrive.
"Husband, I'm sorry!" Mu Yiyun leaned back slightly, and the thing in her arms fell out.
When Wang Wenzhou saw it, he was shocked. Mu Yiyun was holding a baby covered in blood in her arms. It looked like the child was dead.
Wang Wenzhou felt a pang of pain in his heart. Although the little bastard was ugly and the two of them had no affection for each other, he was still his son.
"Baby, baby, don't be sad! It's okay! It's just a miscarriage! Once you've recovered, I'll get you pregnant again!" Although Wang Wenzhou was sad, he still had to comfort the even more heartbroken Mu Yiyun.
"Pfft..." Mu Yiyun couldn't help but laugh, but in the blink of an eye she started crying again.
Da Yu'er silently watched Mu Yiyun, cursing inwardly: You little bitch, you're lucky. I thought you wouldn't survive either, but you did! Damn Shen He, how can you not even handle such a small matter?
Wang Wenzhou quickly hugged Mu Yiyun and gently comforted her, "Baby, baby, don't be sad! You need to rest and recover now, and we'll fight again another day!"
"Waaaaah..." Mu Yiyun sobbed in Wang Wenzhou's arms, but she glared fiercely at Dayuer!
Da Yu'er was not afraid either, and glared fiercely at Mu Yiyun.
Mu Yiyun has been a spy trained by the Tartars since she was a child, and half of the forces in Hanshan are loyal to her. How could she possibly miss the things that have happened around Wang Wenzhou recently?
The reason she hid under the guise of resting during her pregnancy was to let Gao Guiying and Da Yu'er, along with a few other scheming women, fight it out first, so she could reap the benefits. However, she never expected that she would be harmed by Da Yu'er herself.
Mu Yiyun regretted not making the first move. In fact, she had already planned how to deal with Dayuer, but she didn't have time to act.
Although she knew it was that slut Da Yu'er who was behind it, she didn't want to tell Wang Wenzhou. Knowing him as she did, she had no evidence. If she revealed it, Da Yu'er would likely smear her again, and given her background, her nemesis Wang Wenzhou might not believe her. After all, she had risked her life to have Dorgon castrated to convince him.
