Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 135: Black Wind Ridge Surrenders (1)

After taking a bath, Yun Yuxi felt much more relaxed and in a much better mental state. She returned to bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

At the same time, Ji Lanchen had been standing by Xia Furong's window, watching her with a worried look on his face. He whispered softly, "Sister Furong, you really scared me just now! Wake up soon. You gave me a pair of lovely twins, and my second and third brothers love them very much. They don't even let me, their father, hug them. Sister Furong..." As he spoke, Ji Lanchen's eyes turned red again, and tears rolled down his cheeks. He held Xia Furong's hand tightly, sobbing softly.

At this moment, Xia Furong's weak voice sounded: "Brother Chen, am I dead? How is our child?"

Ji Lanchen was startled by the sudden voice, but then replied ecstatically: "Madam, you are not dead! The children are all fine, and are now being held outside by my second and third brothers!" As he spoke excitedly, he stared at Xia Furong with tears in his eyes, his eyes full of concern.

Xia Furong's eyes widened as she asked in disbelief, "Brother Chen, I'm not dead? But why do I feel like I can't move?"

"Madam, it was the princess who saved you and the child. You just had an operation, a caesarean section, and the princess asked you to have a good rest. Lie down and don't move. I'll have someone carry you to a clean room."

Xia Furong was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes and she nodded repeatedly.

After Ji Lanchen properly settled Xia Furong, he told the maid to take good care of her, then walked out of the room and headed towards the hall.

"Brothers, please enjoy the delicious food and wine tonight. Don't forget to invite the princess and others when the banquet starts later. Let the princess and others have a good rest now. The princess is our Black Wind Ridge's great benefactor, everyone must respect and honor her!" Ji Lanchen said seriously.

"Second brother, third brother, come with me. Let's go to Sister Fu's room. There is something important to discuss." Ji Lanchen looked at Chen Jingshan and the third in command with a firm look in his eyes.

The second and third in command nodded in agreement, and then went to Xia Furong's room with Ji Lanchen.

"Sister Fu, it was the princess who saved you and the child. There are some things I want to discuss with you and my second and third brothers," Ji Lanchen said seriously.

"I want to follow the princess, Sister Fu. I can be a bandit, but our children cannot be bandits! Although we have never actively harmed any civilians, we are still bandits after all, and our children's future will be affected." Ji Lanchen looked at Xia Furong seriously and said.

Xia Furong frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "Husband, but we don't know this princess well. What if she crosses the river and destroys the bridge? After all, human hearts are unpredictable!"

After hearing what Xia Furong said, Ji Lanchen couldn't help but fall into deep thought. At this time, the third boss beside him also agreed: "Yes, brother, what Sister Furong said makes sense. We only know that this princess is of noble status and has great means, but we don't know her true character and intentions. Should we give it more thought?" He rarely became serious, and his tone was full of worry.

However, the second in command, Chen Jingshan, held a different opinion. He stood up excitedly and said loudly, "Brother, I am willing to follow the princess too! In fact, even if you didn't say it today, I was going to bring it up myself. I think the princess is a good person. She is a woman, but she can represent the royal family to go to Lingcheng to treat the plague. Regardless of her medical skills, this courage and responsibility alone makes me, Chen Jingshan, admire her very much!"

For a while, everyone in the hall was talking about it and expressing their opinions. Some agreed to follow the princess, thinking it was a rare opportunity; others were worried that there was a trick and were hesitant. Ji Lanchen sat quietly in the chair, caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he hoped to get rid of his identity as a bandit and give his family a better future; on the other hand, he was afraid that the princess was unreliable and put everyone in danger.

"Sister Fu, Third Brother, there is a wedding banquet tonight. Can I take a look first?" Ji Lanchen said with some embarrassment.

"Husband, I will support all your decisions," Xia Furong said firmly.

"Brother, it's almost time, let's go to the hall. Third brother, we are all observing the princess. Then we will make plans. Don't be impulsive," Chen Jingshan looked at the third in command and warned him worriedly.

Ji Lanchen personally invited Yun Yuxi and his party to attend the banquet. He knew that whether Yun Yuxi could convince the people of Black Wind Ridge depended on this wedding banquet.

When they walked into the hall, they were greeted by a festive scene. The entire hall was decorated like a dreamlike world, with red and gold silk interwoven together to form a gorgeous curtain; the table was filled with sumptuous food, exuding an enticing aroma. Everyone's face was filled with smiles, and their eyes were focused on Yun Yuxi and others.

"I bow to the princess!" With a loud shout, everyone in Black Wind Ridge knelt down and saluted. This salutation was not because of her status, but because of respect and gratitude for her superb medical skills.

Yun Yuxi walked forward with a smile and raised her hand gently: "Everyone, please stand up. Today is a big day for Black Wind Ridge. No need to be polite."

Everyone stood up and looked at Yun Yuxi with anticipation in their eyes.

At this time, a maid came over holding two babies. Yun Yuxi took the children and looked at them carefully.

"Ji Lanchen, bring the child out and let me take a look." Yun Yuxi said gently.

Ji Lanchen carefully brought the two children to Yun Yuxi.

"These two children are so cute." Yun Yuxi said with a smile.

"This princess wants to give gifts to the two children and also give them names." Yun Yuxi continued.

Everyone looked at Yun Yuxi excitedly, waiting to see what names she would give the children.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Yuxi announced, "The boy will be named Ji Ruixuan and the girl will be named Ji Yaxuan. I hope these two children grow up safely and be smart."

Everyone cheered in unison to express their satisfaction.

Yun Yuxi took out a pair of crystal clear jade pendants from her arms and gently hung them around the necks of the two children.

"This pair of jade pendants is a gift I give to my two children. May they bless you with peace and prosperity." Yun Yuxi said.

Ji Lanchen was filled with gratitude and thanked Yun Yuxi again.

Yun Yuxi smiled and waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

Next, everyone started to enjoy the food, and laughter filled the entire hall.

The third in command looked at Yun Yuxi's demeanor, lowered his head a little guilty, slowly picked up the wine glass and walked forward.

Ji Lanchen and Chen Jingshan looked at each other and understood the determination in each other's eyes.
