Chapter 195 Contraceptive Soup Found

Baili Zhao quietly waited for Jiang Nianwei's response

Jiang Nianwei was overwhelmed with the urge to agree immediately, but her reasoning was like a cold shower, forcing her to examine her current situation.

Once you make a promise easily and fail to fulfill it, it is undoubtedly a betrayal.

"Ouch, that hurts." She deliberately changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Baili Zhao's expression immediately became nervous and concerned: "What's wrong, are you feeling uncomfortable?

Jiang Nianwei gently stretched out her hand and pointed at her leg: "It seems that I was accidentally scratched by a branch."

Baili Zhao leaned over and carefully examined her wound. As expected, on that white jade-like leg, a bright red bloodstain was clearly visible.

"The fireworks are over, we should return. Your wound needs to be taken care of."

"It's just a small wound, it's okay, it doesn't hurt now." In fact, she had just deliberately scraped the branch hard.

"That won't work either. Just listen to me this time!" Baili Zhao hugged her and jumped off the tree. He returned to the carriage and rode at full speed back to the villa.

Jiang Nianwei sighed helplessly, "Go a little slower, my wounds have healed, I'm really fine."

Baili Zhao ignored her jokes, his face focused and gentle, carefully treating her wound and gently applying ointment, "It would be bad if it left a scar, so it's better to deal with it in time."

Jiang Nianwei felt guilty and apologized secretly in her heart: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this."

Baili Zhao snuggled up to her and didn't want to leave her side for a moment. He had an illusion that if he wasn't careful, Sanniang would disappear, so he wanted to do everything he could to keep her by his side.

A bold plan came into his mind. If he let Sanniang give birth to their child, would he be able to tie her heart down?

Thinking of this, he leaned over and pressed her down on the couch.

“That day is something I will never forget.”

He buried his head in her neck, the faint memory lingering on the tip of his nose, "Sanniang, I still want it, can you give me a reward?"

Jiang Nianwei untied his corsage and stroked his hair, "Okay."

She took the initiative to move forward and bit his lower lip. This seductive behavior made Baili Zhao unable to restrain himself.

They were close to each other and were very affectionate.

It's like the falling peach petals in spring brushing across the lake, creating ripples.

It was like waves beating against the shore, one wave after another.

Baili Zhao just wanted to get drunk in this gentle land and never want to wake up again.

"Before... I thought that matters between men and women were the most boring, but now it seems that I was too narrow-minded."

The moaning sound that came into his ears was the most beautiful sound he felt.

He was willing to indulge in it.

After Baili Zhao fell asleep, Jiang Nianwei slowly got up and went to the hot spring to wash herself.

After putting on her clothes, she leaned over the table and began to write something. This was something she intended to give to Baili Zhao.

It contains her summary of development decisions that are beneficial to the people and the economy. She hopes Baili Zhao can adopt these opinions.

In the early morning, when Baili Zhao woke up, he habitually wanted to hug the person next to him, but found that she had left.

A feeling of loss immediately came over him. Baili Zhao immediately got up and called her name: "Sanniang, Sanniang."

no respond?

He immediately put on his clothes and began to look around.

Looking at the things she left on the table, I felt an inexplicable fear.

He chased after him without even having time to put on his boots.

Jiang Nianwei had just come back from cutting some plum branches. Seeing his disheveled appearance, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened to Ah Zhao? Did you have a nightmare?"

Baili Zhao stepped forward and hugged her in his arms, "I'm scared, I'm really scared."

He was afraid that his beloved would leave while he was sleeping.

He was afraid that once he opened his eyes he would no longer see her.

Baili Zhao held her tightly in his arms, with such force that Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but struggle.

"A Zhao, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Baili Zhao finally slowly loosened his grip on her hand, completely ignoring the cold white snow beneath his feet, and directly sealed her whisper with his lips.

His previous kisses were always like a spring breeze, gentle and delicate, but this time, they were fierce and almost like a storm, as if he wanted to tear her bones apart and eat her.

But Jiang Nianwei did not stop him. Instead, she patted his back gently and said, "A Zhao, don't be afraid. I'm by your side."

Baili Zhao finally calmed down and murmured, "I'm sorry."

"What's there to be sorry about? I know you're afraid I'll leave. I just went to pick some plum blossoms. It's freezing outside. Go in and put on your shoes. Why are you still acting like a child? You make me worry all the time."

Baili Zhao held her hand tightly, never wanting to let go.

“Plum blossoms are very fragrant, and they look very elegant when placed in the room. Plum petals can also be used to make plum cakes. I have asked Taozhi to have someone do it. I originally wanted to make breakfast for you, but I didn’t expect you to be so anxious.” Jiang Nianwei spoke as she lightly inserted the plum blossoms into an exquisite porcelain vase, the flowers and the vase complementing each other beautifully.

"Look at you, your hair is messy. If you hadn't been injured in the past, I would never have seen you look so disheveled."

Jiang Nianwei picked up the wooden comb and started combing his long hair.

Baili Zhao's gaze fell on the mirror, where her smiling face was reflected, gentle and bright, and ripples appeared in his heart.

At this moment, time freezes, leaving only the warmth between the two people flowing slowly.

"I did have a nightmare. I dreamed that you disappeared."

"It's just a dream. Look, I'm standing here with you now."

Baili Zhao turned around gently, wrapped his arms tenderly around her waist, and took a deep breath. It was a familiar and reassuring breath that belonged only to her.

Just at this moment, Taozhi knocked on the door and said, "Miss, the plum cake is ready. Would you like to bring it in?"

"Thank you, Taozhi. Please come in."

Taozhi gently placed a plate of steaming plum blossom cakes on the table, then leaned close to Jiang Nianwei's ear and said, "Miss, the medicine soup is ready."

"I'll be there right away."

Baili Zhao asked cautiously: "What medicine?"

"It's just that the chill has not yet subsided. I asked Taozhi to make some medicine for me to drive away the cold."

Baili Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, then you should take the medicine."

In fact, Jiang Nianwei had secretly prepared a mild and harmless contraceptive soup. During these days, she had not taken any protective measures and was inevitably worried about getting pregnant unexpectedly.

"Come, try this freshly-baked plum cake and see if it tastes to your liking." Jiang Nianwei chuckled, picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Baili Zhao's lips.

Baili Zhao took a bite, and instantly, the elegant fragrance of plum blossoms bloomed in his mouth, "It is indeed delicious."

After the meal, Jiang Nianwei was about to quietly take the bowl of contraceptive soup, but Baili Zhao followed her like a shadow and refused to leave.

Helplessly, she could only pretend to be calm, picked up the bowl of medicine, and prepared to drink it in one breath.

At this moment, Baili Zhao suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Wait a minute, let me cool it down for you before you drink it."

The smell of medicine lingered at his nose. Baili Zhao sniffed it carefully and it seemed to be nothing serious. However, his intuition told him that he could not let her drink this bowl of medicine.

At this thought, Baili Zhao deliberately shook his body, and the medicine bowl in his hand slipped out.

"I'm so sorry, my hand slipped and dropped the bowl." He apologized, but there was no apology on his face.

Jiang Nianwei could feel that he did it on purpose.

But she was not angry, she just said calmly: "It's okay, and I'll ask Taozhi to prepare another bowl."

Baili Zhao held him in his arms, "Don't drink it! I know this is not some cold medicine, it's a contraceptive soup, Sanniang, don't you want to give birth to my child?"

Jiang Nianwei froze for a moment. Sure enough, he had discovered something. "How could it be? If we have a child early, how can we live alone? It's better to wait for some time. What's more, our marriage has not been announced to the world. If she is pregnant, it will not be good for my reputation."

This argument was flawless and Baili Zhao had no words to refute.

"Forget it, if Sanniang doesn't want to have a baby, then don't give birth. I don't want Sanniang to suffer either. It will be the same if we have another baby later."

He originally wanted to use the child to tie her down, but this idea was too selfish. Everything depended on Sanniang's wishes. He didn't want to force her.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the house.

"Your Majesty, urgent news! The situation in the court is turbulent, and you are urgently required to return to Beijing immediately to take charge of the situation!" A guard's voice was fragrant.

"Nonsense, I'm not going back!"

Jiang Nianwei comforted him, "There will be days like this from time to time in the future, but the affairs of the court are so important, you should deal with them first. I'm not angry, it's just right for us to go back together."

"Sanniang, are you really not angry?"

"I would really be angry if you were addicted to beauty." Jiang Nianwei rubbed his cheek, reluctant but helpless.

"Okay, let's go back together!"

Baili Zhao wrapped her cloak around her, told the servants to pack her luggage quickly, then carefully picked her up and put her into the carriage.

After the two of them sat down, Nian Wei took out a stack of papers from her bosom and handed them to Baili Zhao, "Ah Zhao, take a look at these. These are the policies I have been thinking about for governing the country. If you think any of them are feasible, you might as well try to implement them."

Baili Zhao took the paper and read it carefully, with a smile of approval on his lips: "I have already read it roughly this morning. Sanniang's strategies are all good strategies. However, there are still stubborn forces in the court. Some strategies will take time to implement, so we need to think carefully."

"It's okay, take your time."

"However, regarding this one, both men and women can take the imperial examination. The court is now short of talent and needs young people for reform. If we only restrict this to men, we are indeed a little narrow-minded. In the future, both men and women can enter the academy to study and take the imperial examination together."

"Then let's give it a try and see if it can be implemented smoothly."

Jiang Nianwei had no idea about this. It was a feudal society now, and it was rare for Baili Zhao to have such thoughts. It also proved that she was not wrong about him. However, the old ministers in the court would not think so.

……

When Jiang Yan received the good news of amnesty, his hands began to tremble.

The letter also said that the current emperor would thoroughly investigate the corruption case and clear his name, and he could return to the capital and continue to serve the country as a tutor.

Jiang Lanxu and Jiang Lixuan were also conferred the title of General of Cavalry and Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. The Jiang family could be said to be the biggest winners in this coup. Not only were they rehabilitated, they also held important positions in the court and enjoyed great glory for a time.

Baili Zhao returned the Jiang Mansion, which had been sealed off, to the Jiang family. When Jiang Nianwei stepped into this place again, she felt as if she was in another world.

"Finally, we are back. I said I would come back and revitalize the Jiang family. I did it."

"Not only that, Master Jiang is also on his way back to Beijing. I'm sure you've received the reply."

"Well, all this is thanks to Your Majesty." Jiang Nianwei was about to bow but was gently stopped by Baili Zhao.

"Beside me, there is no need for all these formalities. There is no need for us to be so distant. You don't have to call me 'Your Majesty'. I would rather you call me Ah Zhao."

He was so eager to overcome all difficulties and support the Jiang family again, just hoping that Jiang Nianwei could become the queen legitimately.

Jiang Nianwei looked at the familiar plants and trees in the courtyard and suddenly thought of someone.

"Eunuch Chen, I wonder what Ah Zhao is going to do?"

"He was close to the late emperor, but he knew too many royal secrets..." Baili Zhao was also thinking about this issue.

"Eunuch Chen once helped the Jiang family. Now it is time for him to repay his kindness. Can you spare his life and let him spend his old age in peace?"

Baili Zhao was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Let's do as Sanniang said."
