On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 1216 Zhou Xing, that old money-grubber

However, after a brief moment of apprehension, Elizabeth's sapphire-like eyes ignited once again with an even more intense, morbid excitement and possessiveness!

She likes men like that!

Powerful! Ruthless! Filled with an irresistible desire to conquer!

She is far more charming than those spineless cowards who only know how to fawn over her!

She licked her full, red lips, a wicked smile full of challenge and amusement spreading across her face.

"Yue Fei..."

"You, this fascinating and captivating Eastern man..."

"You will be mine sooner or later."

……

Chang'an, within the imperial palace and workshops.

Lin Zhen remained lying in bed, unconscious.

But his complexion was much rosier than before.

My breathing became steady and powerful.

Clearly, thanks to the meticulous care of Physician Zhang and the imperial physicians over the past few days, his body, which had been severely depleted from exhaustion, was beginning to slowly recover.

Murong Yan sat by his bedside, holding a bowl of freshly brewed medicinal soup that exuded a rich aroma.

She carefully scooped up a spoonful with the small white jade spoon, then brought it to her lips and gently blew on it.

After confirming that the temperature was suitable, it was slowly brought to Lin Zhen's lips.

"Husband, it's time to take your medicine."

Her voice was very soft and gentle.

It was filled with the tenderness and affection unique to married women.

These days, she has stayed here almost every step of the way.

She had all the government affairs at court moved to this small workshop for processing.

She personally wiped his body, served him tea and medicine.

He did everything a wife could do to the fullest extent.

At this moment, she was still wearing the Phoenix Descent Dress, which served as her only nightgown.

But this legendary robe, which had witnessed her countless times of domineering power and ruthless decisiveness, was now gone.

At this moment, however, it appears somewhat wrinkled and dim due to the tireless toil and worry day and night.

The extremely dark Suzhou brocade base material, under the dim candlelight in the workshop, seemed to be tinged with an inescapable sorrow.

The giant phoenix embroidered with real gold thread had all its brilliance hidden. Its phoenix eyes were lowered, and it quietly perched on her body, like a loyal guardian, silently accompanying its exhausted master.

The five-zhang-long, dark gold Suzhou brocade train was piled up haphazardly beside the bed, tangled with the messy bedding and sheets.

Amidst that opulent disarray, there was no longer any desire or ambiguity.

Only one kind remains: the deep affection and attachment between husband and wife who share joys and sorrows, and are willing to go through thick and thin together.

She slowly fed Lin Zhen the bitter medicine, spoonful by spoonful.

It was as if she wasn't giving him medicine.

Rather, it was her boundless love and longing for him that had already seeped into her very bones.

After feeding Lin Zhen a bowl of medicine, Murong Yan carefully put down the bowl and then picked up a warm towel to gently wipe the corners of Lin Zhen's mouth.

Her movements were as gentle as if she were handling a rare treasure, and her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with tenderness and heartache.

"Husband, you've been asleep for so long, it's time to wake up." She murmured softly, her voice trembling with a barely perceptible sob. "In the east... Elizabeth and Yue Fei have already reached Edo. They say things are going well. That old fox named Tokugawa committed seppuku, and his son ran away with his family and treasure. Date Masamune, who was leading the way, was also executed on the spot by Yue Fei."

She recounted the battles of the past few days to him, bit by bit, as if he could truly hear her.

"Yue Fei is becoming more and more like you, ruthless and steady, decisive and efficient. That vixen Elizabeth looks at him differently, trying every day to provoke him, but unfortunately Yue Fei is a blockhead and doesn't understand romance at all, which makes that vixen jump up and down and curse on the boat every day, which is quite an interesting story."

"And the west... you've become even more powerful." A proud smile finally appeared on her face. "The news of your awakening, along with the military report of the great victory at Kunlun Mountain, has spread throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty. Now, the people of the whole world worship you as a true god. Those old fogies in the court are all like they've been injected with chicken blood, clamoring to join you in the counterattack on Constantinople."

“That old miser Zhou Xing has almost emptied his own pockets to raise funds for your army. He even said that when you return in triumph, he will erect a golden statue for you that is taller than the Taiji Hall.”

She kept talking, as if she wanted to tell him everything that had happened in the past few days.

She knew he must really want to know these things.

She knew that only these things could reignite the fighting spirit in his restless soul.

“So, my husband…” She gently took his large hand, which was still a little cold but had regained some strength, and placed it on her slightly protruding belly.

"Please wake up soon, okay?"

"Touch it, our child is greeting you."

"He's waiting for you too, waiting for you to wake up and give him the most prestigious name in the world."

Her voice was choked with sobs.

Large tears rolled uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes, dripping onto the back of his pale hand, scalding hot.

at this time.

The large hand that she had been holding suddenly, gently, squeezed back.

Murong Yan's body suddenly stiffened!

She suddenly looked up!

He met a pair of deep eyes that, though still showing signs of fatigue and weakness, had regained their radiance!

"Yan'er..."

Lin Zhen's voice was terribly hoarse, yet it was filled with a reassuring magic.

"Our children..."

"Did I make you... suffer again?"

In that instant, Murong Yanyan felt that her heart, which had been hanging in suspense for more than ten days, finally and completely settled back into her stomach.

An immense, indescribable ecstasy, like a landslide and a tsunami, instantly overwhelmed her completely!

"Husband!"

She could no longer control herself, and suddenly threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.

This time, there was no longer any fear or unease in her cries.

Only the joy and happiness of regaining what was lost can bring endless happiness.

"You're awake...you're finally awake..."

"I...I thought...I..."

She cried incoherently, like a child who had finally found someone to rely on.

"Silly girl." Lin Zhen reached out his still somewhat weak hand and gently patted her back to soothe her agitated emotions. "I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

"I promised you that I would be there to accompany you as you rule the world, and that I would watch our children grow up."

"When have I, Lin Zhen, ever broken my promise?"

His words, full of domineering authority and responsibility, made Murong Yan cry even harder.

But her smile became even brighter.
