…

Wen Ning still failed to learn the "unique sword technique" that Xiao Yunci mentioned the next day, because he was busy with work and went out early in the morning, so he was nowhere to be seen.

Wen Ning practiced on her own.

Last night, Xiao Yunci helped her massage the painful areas, and it was quite effective. Today, her legs are no longer weak, her movements are more agile, and she looks more energetic.

Xiao Yunci's fingers were really powerful. They could pinch vital points wherever they passed, even that place...

Wen Ning immediately stopped thinking, put down the sword with a red face, and took a long breath.

Calm down!

She practiced with the sword for a while, panting, and gently stroked the hair by her ears. But in her mind was still the look of Xiao Yunci staring at her with eyes as deep as the deep sea last night, and the scorching warmth of his fingers touching her hair.

How can I calm down!

…

Another person who couldn't calm down was Zhou Mingyan, who was pregnant in the Duke of Qi's mansion.

She has been feeling inexplicably uneasy these past few days.

Ever since she met Wen Ning that day, she has been unable to live a peaceful life as before.

On this day, Minister Zhou suddenly came to the Duke of Qi's mansion in a hurry to meet with his daughter alone. However, when he saw Zhou Mingyan's slightly bulging belly and her happy and dependent look when she saw him, the words that were on the tip of his tongue suddenly became difficult to say.

"My dear daughter, have you been okay these days?" Minister Zhou held Zhou Mingyan's hand, his eyes trying to remain calm, but his voice was a little suppressed. "I don't know what happened these days. Daddy is always worried about you. If you have been wronged in the Duke of Qi's mansion..."

Zhou Mingyan's heart skipped a beat. She grabbed her father's arm with her backhand and gently held it as she did before. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, father. My husband treats me very well. It's just that he has been very busy in the court recently and comes back very late. It's really hard for him. Father, is there any important event in the court recently?"

"It's still about the Tatar issue. I'm afraid there will be another war. The court is very busy." Minister Zhou forced a smile and was unable to tell her that although the court was busy, it was the Ministry of War's business and the Crown Prince was concerned about it. What did it have to do with Qi Weiming?

"Daddy, you should rest more too." Zhou Mingyan looked at the white hair on Zhou Shangshu's head. Maybe it was because he got married? He finally understood things. She always felt warmed when she saw her father. "Your daughter cannot be with you. You must take care of yourself..."

Minister Zhou is not young anymore, and when he heard this, he almost burst into tears.

He pampered Zhou Mingyan. He was afraid that she would melt if he held her in his mouth, and afraid that she would fall if he held her in his hands. He watched her grow up little by little from a tiny bean.

Now Douding'er has grown up, married, and is pregnant. Listening to her private words, Minister Zhou felt really uncomfortable.

"Dad." Zhou Mingyan continued to ask, "Is my husband doing well in the court? He is young and doesn't understand many things. Please take care of him..."

Minister Zhou's heart sank, and he immediately thought of what Lin Han had said to him, and his heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife or chopped by an axe.
