After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Lin Nian exclaimed, "Your world is amazing! You even know when a baby grows ears."

"That's nothing. With an ultrasound, you can even find out the gender."

"Wow!" Lin Nian exclaimed in surprise, then asked, "What is a color Doppler ultrasound?"

"This explanation will go on forever, honey. Stop thinking about it and let's do something fun."

Lin Nian immediately felt a sense of urgency, and clutching his bedding, he quickly said, "No!"

Yin Cheng looked bewildered. "What's wrong with that?"

"Absolutely not!" Lin Nian said. "You go sleep in the study."

"There's only one set of desk and chairs in the study, where am I supposed to sleep?" Yin Cheng said. "I don't mind sleeping on the floor. It's not that cold outside, at most I'll just catch a cold."

Finally, he added, "It's okay, I'm healthy, I can handle it."

Lin Nian glared at him, "Then why aren't you going yet?"

Yin Cheng was startled. He had been playing the victim so hard, yet his wife remained unmoved.

"No, honey, why do I have to sleep alone again?" he feigned a pitiful expression. "I just want to sleep with you."

"Then you should just go to sleep properly, instead of... you're still fooling around... causing trouble... ugh!"

"What nonsense did I spout?!"

Injustice! Your Honor, I am innocent!

Lin Nian accused, "You just said...you said something about happy things!"

Yin Cheng then realized what was happening. He was both amused and exasperated. "I'm not a beast. How could I bully you during this special time? I meant to tell you a bedtime story. What were you thinking, Niannian?"

Lin Nian asked suspiciously, "Is it really just storytelling?"

"Then I swear to God?"

Lin Nian nodded seriously, "Go ahead and post it, or I'll turn you into a dog."

Yin now deeply feels that he has completely lost his wife's favor.

"I would never lie to Niannian. I'm a dog if I lie."

Lin Nian was satisfied. "Come on, I've already warmed the bed."

……

As the weather gradually turns cold and the north wind howls, the desolate landscape of the frontier takes on a tragic and desolate feel.

Lin Nian sat on the city wall, gazing into the distance.

Yin Cheng led his troops on the expedition, and it has been twentieth day since then.

The pearl was already moving, but Yin Cheng was still unaware of it.

For some reason, Lin Nian felt uneasy about Yin Cheng's expedition, as if something was about to happen.

This time, the new emperor of Yanru personally led an army of 500,000 men straight to Lingxiao Pass.

The generals of Da Yin were extremely puzzled and couldn't understand why Yan Ru would bypass Caixia City and instead attack Lingxiao Pass.

Lingxiao Pass is located in the heart of a valley north of Caixia City, and has been abandoned for many years.

Because there is a swamp outside the pass, which is shrouded in miasma all year round, it is a natural barrier, so Yan Ru had never set foot in Lingxiao Pass before.

Now that Yan Ru has specifically targeted Lingxiao Pass, he must have found a way to deal with the swamp and miasma.

Yan Ru must have a powerful backer!

If this army of 500,000 successfully crosses the swamp, the defenses of Lingxiao Pass will be rendered ineffective.

At that time, the entire Yuezhou will be in danger.

Yin Cheng was well aware of the stakes involved, but he dared not send his entire army to Lingxiao Pass. If he made a wrong move at this moment, he would lose everything.

It must be admitted that this former second prince, now the new emperor, is far more ruthless, intelligent, and ambitious than the old emperor.

Just as the two sides were testing each other, something unexpected happened.

Yan Ru kidnapped Hua Yue; to be precise, it was the new emperor who kidnapped Hua Yue.

Just as Yin Cheng was about to go and demand the person back, Hua Yue returned on her own.

He ran back crying, tears and snot streaming down his face, sobbing uncontrollably in front of countless soldiers.

He wouldn't answer any of the questions I asked him.

Luo Ran hurriedly pulled Hua Yue into the tent and checked him over from head to toe, but found no injuries whatsoever.

No one knows how Huayue was captured from Caixia City and taken to Yanru.

If Yan Ru wanted to threaten Yin Cheng, she could have simply arrested someone more important to Yin Cheng, such as Lin Nian.

Instead of some seemingly unimportant young man.

After returning to the Dayin camp, Huayue cried and didn't say a word.

That very night, Yin Cheng suddenly received a tip that Yan Ru had called.

Originally, it was expected that Yanru would only take action when the time, place, and people were all in harmony. To launch an attack so hastily was not in line with the usual cautious style of the new emperor of Yanru.

Now that they've attacked, we should fight back.

Yin Cheng patted Hua Yue's head without saying anything.

After he left, Huayue started crying again.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Huayue say something.

"Your Highness, execute me."

"Stop talking nonsense and wait for me to come back."

Hua Yue thought that when Yin Cheng returned, she would tell him everything.

But he didn't live to see Yin Cheng return.

Yin Cheng and the new emperor Yan Ru both fell into the Wuding River, their fates unknown.

When Yin Cheng's message reached Caixia City, Lin Nian felt a wave of dizziness.

"Your Majesty!"

The shouts of the crowd seemed to be muffled by a thick layer of cotton, making them difficult to hear clearly.

Lin Nian could hear her own heartbeat.

He knew he couldn't fall down now; he had to stand up and support his family.

He sat in the chair, not crying, and was unusually calm.

"Where did the prince fall into the water? Have people been sent to search for him along the route?"

The soldier who came to report was a young man from the Baihua Army. He explained in detail, "General Cui sent a battalion of soldiers to search for the marshal along the Wuding River."

Who is currently the highest-ranking general in the Northern Army?

"General Cui, he is the current General Who Guards the North."

Lin Nian took out the imperial gold medal, which the emperor had personally handed to him when he left the capital.

"This gold medal is as if His Majesty were here in person. Let General Cui come and see me."

"yes!"

Lin Nian clutched her stomach. "Pearl, your father won't abandon us. Be good."

A war that lasted for half a year came to an end after both sides' generals fell into the water.

Lin Nian quickly grasped all the information about Caixia City and the Northern Border Army. He began to learn how to act like a man and get involved in the political affairs of Caixia City.

With the emperor's gold medal at his disposal, no one dared to make things difficult for him.

Wang Jun didn't cry, but he also stopped laughing.

Now, when the night is quiet, he doesn't look at the few dozen taels of revenue from the dessert shop.

It concerns military affairs, government affairs, and the common people.

He took on the decision-making power that belongs to men and shouldered the responsibility of Yin Cheng.

He will protect Caixia City for the man.

When the emperor, far away in the capital, heard that his younger brother had gone missing and his fate was uncertain, he erupted in the greatest rage he had ever felt since ascending the throne.

Inside the Golden Palace, a secret letter, delivered by urgent dispatch from Caixia City, was crumpled into a ball and angrily thrown to the ground.

"Find him for me! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, even if you have to kill every single person in Yanru, bring Prince Cheng back to me!"

A heavy rain washed away all traces, the water level of the Wuding River rose, and thousands of people searched along the river but found nothing.

Seven days after Yin Cheng and the new emperor Yan Ru fell into the water at the same time, in a small village in Huzhou, a man washing clothes by the river suddenly saw a dark shadow floating in the water.
