Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback-Chapter 362: Can You Bear It...

Until Mu Yan noticed that the footsteps were heading straight for the bed, the room temperature was high, and he smelled the familiar scent on Zhan Lan.

He had his back towards Zhan Lan, pretending to be asleep.

Unexpectedly, the next moment a gentle hand touched his forehead, Zhan Lan felt Mu Yan’s forehead temperature was alright, then she touched her own forehead and realized that Mu Yan had gotten a bit better.

However, she quickly noticed something wrong, the room had two charcoal stoves making it warm, yet Mu Yan was covered with two quilts.

What was wrong with him?

Zhan Lan reached her hand under the quilt; her fingers lightly touched Mu Yan’s back, causing him to tense up, and Zhan Lan withdrew her hand.

She finally realized that it was not a common cold Mu Yan was suffering from, but rather a flare-up of his cold disease.

Mu Yan wanted to turn around and reassure her not to worry when suddenly he heard the sound of clothes dropping, and the next moment, Zhan Lan lifted the quilt and lay beside him.

When a soft and warm touch pressed against his back, his spine tensed, and his brows knotted. Zhan Lan was actually using her body to drive away his chill.

"Lan’er!" Mu Yan wanted to get up and push her away, as the chill entering her body would not be good for her.

Zhan Lan’s arms encircled him from behind, hugging Mu Yan, pressing against his cold back, she endured the discomfort and said: "Don’t move, let me warm you up."

His quilts were cold; only the warmth of a human body could quickly drive the chill away.

With his back to Zhan Lan, Mu Yan felt her body warmth, slowly transferring to him.

Mu Yan’s voice was hoarse as he said, "Lan’er, you..."

Zhan Lan, clinging tightly to him, said, "We are husband and wife, there is nothing inappropriate about this."

Mu Yan’s ears turned red; he felt the chill on his back gradually warming up; he grabbed Zhan Lan’s hand resting on his chest, the warmth rising in his heart almost melting him.

No one had ever treated him like this; his little girl loved him so much as well.

In the middle of the night, the chill in Mu Yan’s body gradually faded, and he turned around to hold Zhan Lan in his arms.

Zhan Lan was sleeping soundly, drenched in sweat, but the front of her body was icy cold; Mu Yan pressed against her body, dropping a kiss on her hair.

In the middle of the night, the charcoal in the stove had extinguished.

He removed one quilt, fearing that Zhan Lan might get too hot, alternating between hot and cold could cause her to catch a cold.

Like a curled-up cat, Zhan Lan snuggled into his embrace, Mu Yan quietly watched her, the candlelight dim, her cheeks faintly flushed as she slept deeply.

The two lay naked together, skin to skin, Mu Yan’s eyes fiery, his Adam’s apple moved twice, suppressing the urge to tease her.

Early the next morning, Zhan Lan woke up feeling warmth on her chest, looking up to see Mu Yan enveloping her entirely in his embrace, both without a stitch on.

Her cheeks flushed, even though they had been skin to skin before, they would usually wear single clothes to sleep after, and now being naked made her somewhat embarrassed.

She reached out her hand to touch Mu Yan’s back and found that its temperature had returned to normal, so she sighed in relief.

Suddenly, Mu Yan grasped her hand on his back and said, "My lady, what are you doing?"

Zhan Lan looked up into Mu Yan’s eyes, hazy with tenderness, not knowing what to say, awkwardly answering, "Nothing."

Mu Yan smiled with a lifted corner of his lips, leaned over her two sides, his fingers gently tracing her neck and collarbone, "Since the clothes are off, shouldn’t we do something?"

Zhan Lan, shyly pushing him away, got up and grabbed her clothes to cover her chest, saying, "If your cold disease relapses, I won’t care for you!"

Mu Yan pulled her into his arms, kissing her neck, "Would you really..."

Zhan Lan blushed looking at him, Mu Yan grinned and said, "Just teasing you, I’ll get up now."

Zhan Lan got dressed, looked at Mu Yan and said, "Last night, Vermilion Bird gave me some things, when we return to Ding’an City, I am sure to give someone a few surprises."

Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled with a lift of his lips, "Somewhat excited."

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

When Zhan Lan and Mu Yan visited the prison again, the Hidden Guard accompanied them, along with the Assistant Minister of War.

Old Madam Wu’s eyes were cloudy, her body ached all over, and she looked at Zhan Lan and Mu Yan in astonishment.

The Old Madam guessed in her heart, who exactly were they? Even the senior official from the Ministry of War had to walk behind them at a certain distance.

Wu Jiangliu watched Zhan Lan and Mu Yan with his one eye, equally curious about their identities.

Only when the Assistant Minister of War brought out the Wu Family members from various cells, and all four were gathered together.

Wu Jiangliu glowered fiercely at Wu Jianghai.

Wu Jianghai didn’t understand why his brother looked at him like that, but he had no time to think further.

Immediately, Wu Jianghai thudded to his knees before Zhan Lan and Mu Yan, pleading, "Regent King, Regent Princess Consort, please let my mother go, she’s done nothing wrong, she’s old... "

Just as Wu Jianghai pleaded, Old Madam Wu finally realized the identities of Zhan Lan and Mu Yan—they were actually the Regent King and Regent Princess Consort!

Her pupils shrank sharply, she felt her scalp go numb and her body trembled, she collapsed backwards with a thud, fainting from shock.

Wu Jianghai cried out, "Mother!"

Wu Jiangliu was also sweating profusely at this moment, realizing the high status of these two people!

No wonder they showed no fear towards the identity of Liu Hanlin!

Who would have thought that two such high-ranking individuals would come to a remote place like Heiling!

Wu Jiangliu watched his older brother Wu Jianghai feign wiping tears, and he cursed, "How dare you still call her mother, our Wu Family’s downfall is all because you betrayed us for your unborn son!"

"What unborn son? What nonsense are you spouting!" Wu Jianghai looked baffled at his younger brother.

Before Wu Jianghai could speak, Wu Lin looked at Wu Jianghai with a sneer, "Dad, what are you pretending for, I saw it yesterday, your concubine is pregnant, she was helped out of the prison, you sold us all out!"

Wu Lin was acutely aware, he was no longer a man now, unable to continue the family lineage, seeing his father’s concubine pregnant, this is how his father treated them!

Wu Lin hated his father Wu Jianghai immensely in his heart, if he cannot be well, then no one in the family shall be!

The Wu Family didn’t know that yesterday, Zhan Lan used Wu Jianghai’s concubine to set up a trap, the first one to fall for it was Wu Lin.

After she learned some affairs of the Wu Family from Wu Lin, she then sought Wu Jiangliu, and Zhan Lan thoroughly uncovered the affairs of the Wu Family.

All the while, the County Magistrate Wu Jianghai was kept in the dark!

Wu Jianghai looked at his disturbingly grim-faced younger brother and son and suddenly understood something.

He gritted his teeth: "You’ve all been deceived, there is no pregnant concubine at all!"

Wu Jiangliu and Wu Lin, seeing Wu Jianghai’s frustrated expression, and then seeing the curled lips of Zhan Lan, suddenly realized!

It turned out that it was a trap set by the Regent Princess Consort, ensnaring their words.

But now, it was too late for regrets!

"Take them away!" the Assistant Minister of War ordered with a wave of his hand.

The main culprits of the Wu Family were escorted by the military back to Ding’an City.

Suddenly, a soldier came into the yamen with a grave expression and a panicky manner to report, "Sir, there’s trouble at the reservoir!"
