Prince, I Won’t Marry You - C132

“An City has been recaptured?” Upon hearing the news, Murong Ming was also pleasantly surprised, “What about the other news?”

“Less than a hundred casualties. Everything is in order!”

“Less than a hundred casualties?” Mu Rong Zhen asked with a surprised expression, this point could not help but shock everyone.

“General Lan reversed Yuan An, General Hua Chao, and subdued Black Tiger Stronghold. He even invited a lot of martial practitioners to help him. In addition, the Black Tiger Camp’s guards seemed to have contributed a lot to him this time, so his return to An City was incredibly smooth …”

“The Black Armored Army actually made a move?” Murong Mingdeng stood up abruptly. Could it be that Murong Yu was still alive?

The guard who brought the report seemed to understand his master’s astonishment and continued, “No one has seen the Duke of Qin. Before this, the Duke of Qin and General Lan Ruo Cheng had secretly visited the office to investigate the corruption of the officials. The two of them have been on good terms with each other since they were in the same boat.

“Is that so?” When Murong Yu and Yue’er fell off the cliff, he had personally witnessed it, so he reported the least hope. Such a deep cliff, such vile weather, unless there was a miracle.

“My prince, when are you going to bring the wangfei and the young prefecture lord back to the palace?” Seeing that he had been deep in thought and his expression was not too good, the guard took the initiative to interrupt his thoughts.

“Oh …” Murong Fu came back to his senses, and his expression quickly became calm again. “Send a message to the palace, the wangfei has given birth to a young prefecture lord. Please bestow your name upon the emperor! You may leave, continue to pay attention to the battle of the Southern Champion. If there is any situation, report it immediately.

“Yes sir!”

Speaking of which, it just so happened that on the day Murong Fu arrived at Ji Village, he happened to arrive at the same time as Wei Yinlan was giving birth. After suffering for a few hours, he finally gave birth to a daughter, and although she was just a princess, now she was even more happy. The emperor would be happy to receive a good news from her, but he also felt that something was off.

At first, Wei Yinglan was a bit embarrassed when she gave birth to a daughter, but on the day she gave birth, the child’s father finally came. Not only was he the only prince of the court, he was also a gentle and beautiful man. This made Ji Jia Village, from top to bottom, and all the other maidservants who had gossiped about him in public and in secret, change their faces into fawning expressions.

When Wei Yinglan was giving birth, Murong Ying had been anxiously standing guard outside the door. After giving birth to her daughter, he was also very happy, which made Madam Ji very relieved. Perhaps their guesses weren’t wrong, Wei Yinglan wasn’t out of favor, maybe it was due to her willfulness or jealousy, so she quietly ran away. But no, this noble prince’s husband immediately came to receive their letter, and looked very happy and kind at the same time.

In his eyes, there was a kind of indescribable emotion. He already felt somewhat guilty, whether it was before he married Wei Yinglan or after he married her, his heart was completely preoccupied with Yue Er. He had also noticed Wei Yinglan’s sadness and struggle, but he chose to ignore it.

At that moment, he finally understood that Yue’er’s heart was already really with Murong Yu, and Wei Yinlan’s feelings when she left with her child should have been the same. She loved him, so she chose to leave, but at the same time, she was also looking forward to his arrival. From the first time she saw him, she was filled with excitement and weakness, making him understand that she had been looking forward to his appearance. That gaze made him feel that he came too late, but Wei Yinlan lowered her eyes, but the tears in her eyes had already imprinted themselves deep within his heart.

For the past two days, Murong Ying had been immersed in his own complicated thoughts. For a while, he couldn’t explain his feelings, but he was very willing to stay by Wei Yinglan and his daughter’s side, his room was right beside Wei Yinglan. Other than listening to news from his subordinates, he would spend most of his time with Wei Yinglan, even when she and her child were asleep.

This time, he did not immediately enter, because he saw Ji Wuya who was not far away, staring at him steadily with a look as if he had something to say, if one were to say who was the most disappointed in the Ji Clan, it would naturally be Ji Wuya. He was not only disappointed, but also regretful that he had no choice but to let go of Wei Yinglan, and the person who understood Wei Yinglan’s thoughts the most would be him, so he knew that in Wei Yinglan’s heart, from the very beginning to the end, it was only Murong Ming, even if she took the initiative to leave the Imperial Palace, leaving him, it was still because of love.

He wanted to have a good talk with him. If Wei Yinglan couldn’t let him go, then he had to remind him how to treat her.

“Thank you for taking care of her for me!” Mu Rong Zhen said sincerely.

Ji Wuya had a complicated expression on his face as he smiled, and said in a low voice, “If you give me a punch and scold me for kidnapping your wife, I will be happier. At the very least, that will mean that you care more about Lan Er.”

In the past, he had always wanted to have a good fight with Murong Yu one-on-one. Now, he no longer had that kind of impulse, he wanted to live a peaceful life with Wei Yinglan.

“Forget it!” “So what if I have the upper hand? Lan’er only has you in her heart. No matter what I say or do, it’s useless. In Lan’er’s eyes, I can only be her senior. I can only be her brother.” Ji Wuya had already decided to let Wei Yinglan go. At the same time, he did not want to leave anything behind because he would leave something behind in Murong Mingtian’s heart, so he wanted to explain the whole process of Wei Yinlan’s departure.

Ever since she was eight years old and followed General Wei to Ji Village, I had wished that she could stay in Ji Village forever, but she refused. Her heart isn’t in Ji Village, and sometimes I wonder if it would have been different if I had proposed to her before she met you, but in fact, it was just an unwilling thought on my part. If Lan’er likes me, then no matter what happens, she will always be mine, and vice versa.

“I know how you feel.” Perhaps he and Yue’er were the same. They too had no siblings, and grew up together, getting used to pampering her. She was also dependent on him, but that kind of feeling might not be love, but it might be gratitude, or it might be the love and trust of a younger sister towards her older brother.

“Lan Er simply cannot forget about you. You can also come pick her up personally, I will help you convince her to go back with you, and at first I thought that she would be happier if she left the palace, but she wasn’t at all, and since she and her child have been unhappy together, she and staying by your side is better, her parents are also in Jincheng, so Jincheng is more suitable for her. Originally, I didn’t have the qualifications to ask for you, but I still hope that you can treat her well, and it won’t be easy for you to get someone who will love you wholeheartedly. “Please be kind to her …” Ji Wuya raised his head and looked at the sky. Although he was unwilling to part with her, it was not an easy decision to make. However, he could do nothing as long as she was happy.

“Please keep Lan’er company, I won’t go in.” Ji Wuya turned around and left after speaking.

Mu Rong Zhen watched his back until it disappeared before turning back into his room. He couldn’t help but think that if he had let go of Yue Er earlier, would she have been able to escape that calamity?

Wei Yinglan had woken up and was feeding the baby. Murong Ming immediately cast all his thoughts aside and walked over to the mother and daughter with a smile.

“Lan, are you feeling better today?” Wei Yinglan had frightened him quite a bit on the day she gave birth to her child, six hours. After the child was born, Wei Yinglan’s face had turned so pale, as if she had walked through the gates of hell. Other women would become fatter when they carried their child, but her face seemed to have lost a lot of weight because of him.

Wei Yinglan lightly covered the front of her shirt with an indifferent expression. When she first saw Murong Hui, she had already concealed her excitement, “I’m doing very well. Thank you for your concern, Prince!”

“Can I hold her?” Mu Rong Zhen looked at his daughter who was still in her infancy. She was so young, and didn’t seem to be much older than one of his hands.

Wei Yinglan hesitated for a bit, but still handed the daughter in her arms over. Murong Mingdeng stared at his daughter, his eyes filled with joy, surprise, and warmth. Such a small and sweet person made him have the impulse to give up everything for her.

“I’ve already had someone send the good news back to the palace and the general’s estate, and asked royal father to bestow her a name. Lan’er, I’ve let you down, can you two follow me back to the palace after your daughter’s full moon?” Mu Rong Zhen’s voice was very soft and gentle.

In fact, he had always been very gentle to her, but that gentleness was like a natural mask, making her unable to sense where his heart was. But at this moment, while holding the child, the gentleness in his eyes was real, making Wei Yinglan want to cry.

But she didn’t want to go back like this. Right now, he felt really good around her and the child, but she wasn’t going to tell him that there was still nearly a month left.
