The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 351 I understand, you seduced me.
The blue waves rippled, willows swayed along the embankment, and the occasional strange caw of a blue crow could be heard from outside.

The window inside was half-open, and a gentle breeze slipped in, carrying the wisps of incense from the cloisonné enamel incense burner with animal-shaped handles on a rosewood base, into the bright red begonia curtains embroidered with gold and silver threads.

Wei Zhao had planned to tie the person in his arms and take a nap, but he was stunned when he heard this.

Perhaps because she had just woken up, the girl's eyes were brimming with spring-like charm, and her coquettish tone seemed genuine. As long as she didn't say anything sweet, her voice wasn't dry. For a moment, he really thought he was there to have an affair.

Wei Zhao's eyelids twitched, and after a moment of silence, he let out a soft chuckle.

Already possessing an air of nobility and refinement, he gained the sharpness of a military general after returning to the capital, and now he also exudes a charm that others cannot see.

He went along with Yu Tingwan's words.

"Yes, she has a bad temper."

Yu Tingwan: ?
Wei Zhao: "You're always resorting to violence, unlike me who's so gentle and kind."

"nonsense!"

His eyes were clear and bright, and his slender fingers, through the fabric of her inner garment, explored the girl's delicate and well-proportioned figure inch by inch.

"Why are you angry when I praise you?"

Wei Zhao spoke slowly and deliberately: "Your man is rarely away, and you secretly left the door open for me again. I came here even at the risk of being caught by my husband at home."

"Even though we can't be seen by others, you're the only one in my heart, isn't that good?"

Yu Tingwan was speechless.

But that's not what he cares about!
She glared at him: "I think she has a wonderful personality!"

She has so many good qualities!

Yu Tingwan told Wei Zhao, "She is also virtuous and family-oriented, of good character, gentle, kind, respectful, and frugal, and she is also good-looking."

"That's weird."

Wei Zhao asked quietly, "I have such a good husband, how come I'm still having an ambiguous relationship with you? That doesn't make sense."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Why are you being so meticulous at this point!
Wei Zhao, oblivious to the danger, slowly came to a conclusion: "I understand, you seduced me."

"At first I remained unmoved, but I couldn't resist your repeated advances."

Yu Tingwan looked at the man in front of her with a sense of absurdity and pressed down on his fidgeting hands.

"Why isn't it because you're morally corrupt and blinded by lust, that you repeatedly come to my bedchamber even though you have a family?"

Wei Zhao was easy to talk to: "That works too."

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam."

Yu Tingwan frowned, seemingly lost in thought for a moment.

"Then let's..."

"They don't seem to be anything at all."

Wei Zhao buried his face in her neck and chuckled softly. Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside, and his ears twitched slightly.

"General."

Soon, Rong Di's voice came from outside.

"The Fifth Prince has arrived with the imperial physicians, saying that he has received His Majesty's order to examine you."

Wei Zhao's expression turned cold.

That dog emperor is disgusting people again.

The Fifth Prince, Ying Yin, was dressed in casual clothes, with a soaring eagle embroidered on the lapel, and a golden crown on his head. He was dignified and elegant, with a calm gaze, but beneath that gaze lay ambition and desire.

Although Emperor Yingqian did not designate an heir, he had the best chance of winning.

Upon entering the Duke of Shun's mansion, we were led to Lan Garden, where we were greeted by a strong, unpleasant smell of medicine.

Ying Yin remained unfazed and strode towards Wei Zhao, who was being pushed in a wheelchair to greet him.

"No need for excessive formalities upon returning home."

Wei Zhao:......

I hadn't planned on it.

Ying Yin: "So many things have happened these days that I haven't been able to take care of you. But as you know, your father values ​​you very much. He's really worried about you not having a physician by your side, so he ordered one to come and check on you again to see if your condition has improved."

He subtly observed and sized up Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao's breathing was weak, he coughed softly, his shoulders trembled, and his fingers rested on the handle, as if even moving was difficult.

His voice was also exceptionally weak.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Fifth Prince, for making this trip."

Wei Zhao led his men toward the reception room: "Old Ge was supposed to treat the Crown Prince. He was almost in the capital, but unfortunately, he couldn't make it in time. He was also worried that something might happen to me, so he went to find medicine for me while feeling sad and regretful. Although he is not by my side, I can still continue to take the medicine he prescribed earlier."

Ying Yin's expression stiffened. "Fifth Prince."

Wei Zhao invited him to sit down: "Perhaps others have prejudices against you, but I do not."

"The Fifth Prince is upright and honest; it is impossible for him to make the decision to intercept the imperial decree sent by His Majesty to Ze County to save the Crown Prince's life."

Judging from his words, Ying Yin looked melancholy.

"If everyone were like you, that would be wonderful."

"Forget it. It's all in the past. I'll just accept this injustice silently."

Pull it down.

This guy is still investigating relentlessly in private, even threatening to skin him alive if he gets caught.

Wei Zhao was terrified.

Wei Zhao smiled.

Ying Yin: "Imperial Physician Luo, hurry up and take a look at the general."

The imperial physician was Emperor Yingqian's man, so he dared not make a mistake. He carefully took the pulse, his brows furrowed deeply.

General Wei's condition was much worse than when he took his pulse at the palace last time.

Ying Yin took a sip of the tea that Shunzi served her: "I originally came to the palace to see my mother, but when I heard that my father had sent Physician Luo, I thought of you and came along too."

"After hearing about your wife's background, I also felt sorry for her. That Duke Zhou is really... well, he is my brother's maternal uncle after all. Even if he has a thousand faults, I can't say anything."

"You need to take good care of your health. You are a meritorious official of the Great Jin Dynasty and a descendant of the Wei family. You can't afford to have anything happen to you."

He said meaningfully, "I am still waiting for General Wei to continue to assist the Great Jin and keep the world at peace."

What's wrong with my health?
The mere mention of Wei Zhao's name was enough to give him wings.

After Ying Yin left the Duke of Shunguo's mansion, the imperial physician also returned to the palace to report.

"master."

Ying Yin had just boarded the carriage to return to his residence when his trusted confidants entered from outside.

"The Crown Princess wishes to see you."

Ying Yin frowned.

He and the Crown Prince have always been at odds with each other in private.

Why would the Crown Princess, who considers herself superior and has borne a child for the Emperor's brother, want to see him?

Moreover, the entire Eastern Palace is filled with the Empress's spies, yet the Crown Princess was able to spread the word.
Indeed, over the years since she married into the Eastern Palace, there have been many people in the palace who have been loyal to her.

If the Crown Princess were foolish and clumsy, her good brother would not have valued his wife so much when he was alive.

Ying Yin looked at the bustling street.

"These past few days, the Jiaofang Palace has been under tight security; not even a mosquito can get in. The Empress went back to the Duke of Zhou's residence, and I heard there was a dispute there. Jia, the advisor, had mentioned before that something was amiss."

Ying Yin: "Go and make the arrangements."

"Yes."

Xiao Huaiyan was carrying several jugs of wine when he arrived and saw the Fifth Prince's carriage slowly driving away.

He stood there for a while before swaggering inside.

Before the person even entered Lan Garden, their voice could already be heard inside.

"Wei Zhao!"

He walked toward the tall, elegant man standing in the courtyard, fiddling with the new weapons that had just been delivered from the blacksmith shop.

"Where is your sister-in-law?"

Wei Zhao narrowed his eyes and laughed in exasperation.

Xiao Huaiyan is really being presumptuous to come looking for his wife so early in the morning!

Xiao Huaiyan probed, "She must not have gone out for a long time."

"Staying at home is so boring. There are plenty of good food and fun things to do in the capital. You should go out more often. If you're not free, she always has some girls she's on good terms with, so you can always find someone to keep you company."

"What's wrong?"

Wei Zhao said calmly, "These days, Miss Shen hasn't left the house for a long time and can't stand being seen. Are you getting impatient?"

Xiao Huaiyan: ...

I really don't like talking to smart people.

Especially those clever people who know how to hit the nail on the head.
