Chapter 48 - Pregnancy? (1/2)
“Shit!”
Yan Luan stared in surprise as the great wizard murmured in annoyance at his own mistake. He had probably not expected that the woman in question – Yan Luan, which whom Yan Dao was willing to give up his own flesh and blood to revive, had already reincarnated just three years after her death……
After that, the modern life belonging to Xu Wan flashed through her eyes, various important events from her birth to adulthood. As for the jade bracelet she found from the family’s old house, that was probably destined to happen no matter what she did.
The wet dreams from before had gradually became reality, and the two blurred out faces that she could not focused on, were now clear to her. She noticed that her bracelet had shone brightly at the major accident, causing her to return to this dynasty, allowing all three of them to restart at the starting point as promised by the great wizard.
As for why Jiang ShaSha had arrived together with her… It’s probably pure coincidence……
Yes. She was Xu Wan, but she was also Yan Luan, while the Yan Luan from before her arrival was not a completed soul, as that particular soul was living a human life in the modern world at that time.
The gears of destiny had finally began when she was brought back by the jade bracelet.
Crash!
The entire dream shattered into pieces at the exact same moment she confirmed her true identity.
When Yan Luan finally came to, there was a bitter soup taste within her mouth. Her high fever had retreated, but her body was still weak.
She struggled to rise from her bed as she stared around the empty room for signs of her brothers, only to be disappointed.
“Luan Er!”(TNote: The ‘Er’ in this context means child, mothers in the olden days would use on of their child’s name+Er to express affection.)
When Princess YongKang arrived, she realized that her daughter was finally awake and called out to her with an overjoyed voice before hurrying over to the bed and pressing the hand of her hand against Yan Luan’s forehead.
“Mother, you’re back!”
Noticing that Yan Luan’s forehead was coated with sweat, Princess YongKang quickly took out her handkerchief and began dabbing at the sweat gently, “You had been sick for days, and I had rushed home with a few personal guards right after I received the letter from Yan Jing. Are you feeling any better now?”
The Princess YongKang from her past life had loved her from the beginning to the very end, even when it was confirmed that she was in a relationship with Yan Jing. As a mother, after the initial shock and sorrow of the abnormal situation, Princess YongKang had not obstructed her children’s personal lives and had quickly acquiesced to it.
Unfortunately, when Yan Jing had fallen in battle and the fugitive Wang AnZhi returned to seize the throne, as the Queen Dowager, Princess YongKang had finally ended her own life in her room.
She stared wonderingly at her daughter, who was hugging her and sobbing, “What happened, my child, why are you crying?” She coaxed soothingly as she ran her fingers through Yan Luan’s long silky hair.
But Yan Luan was unwilling to leave her mother’s arms, “Where is elder brother and second brother?” She murmured softly, her eyes still immersed with tears.
“They had been taking care of you for days without rest, and mother had chased them off to rest just moments ago.” Princess YongKang giggled slightly.
For days without rest? Yan Luan shook her head as she sighed softly, this wasn’t the first time that had happened. Everytime she got sick, Yan Jing would stay guard beside her bed for days while Yan Dao would hid silently outside the window, watching and guarding her.
“Mother, that Wang AnZhi……”
As soon as she heard the name, Princess YongKang’s expressions darkened significantly as her lips curved up into a cold sneer, “You can forget him, Luan Er, he is but a dead man to us, though we will keep him alive for a little while, since House Wang is still in power.”
Even though he managed to live, a castrated man would always suffer more in living, which was why she had specifically praised Yan Jing for doing it.
Yan Luan nodded, of course she understood the power Hose Wang held. It took Yan Jing almost five years to kill Wang Yong and clear out the remaining tumors of House Wang… But even so, when Wang AnZhi returned years later to seize the throne in the name of his father, the responses from the court was still favorable, which was why he could successfully ascend to the throne.
Now she understood why Chu YunShang insisted on Wang AnZhi.
