Chapter 309: Mixed Blessings
"What do you say, Golden Branch, she... You've been pregnant for a month?"
Gao Heng rushed forward and looked at He Quan in disbelief, and a long-lost joy burst out in his originally deep and cold eyes, and the whole person looked very excited. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Concubine Hui, Weichen is sure that the princess's pulse is indeed a happy pulse. ”
He Quan tucked the red thread into his sleeve and smiled and made a congratulatory gesture to the two.
"Great, great, Heng'er, Jin Zhi, she has your flesh and blood, and the mother concubine also has grandchildren!"
Concubine Hui grabbed Gao Heng's hand happily, the corners of her eyes were piled up with deep laugh lines, and her quiet and soft face faded from its previous solemn color for a while, and it looked radiant.
"Yes, it's the son of the retainer and the grandson of the mother's concubine. ”
Gao Heng was slightly stunned, as if he had not yet recovered from this happy event that fell from the sky, and his heart was even more turbulent, and at the same time, there were also strange words of pretending to reproach Concubine Hui in his ears.
"But your child is really not careful enough, obviously he is someone's husband, but he doesn't even know that his wife is pregnant, if it weren't for Dr. He coming to see him today, I don't know how long it will take to learn about this happy event. ”
What the mother concubine said was that it was indeed her sons who didn't care enough about her. ”
Gao Heng sighed lightly, lowered his eyes reproachfully, and after his eyes came into contact with Cheng Jinzhi lying on the bed, the essence in his tender eyes flashed slightly, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.
However, after staring quietly for a long time, after seeing Cheng Jinzhi's haggard and tired complexion, the smile on the corner of his mouth faded, and he couldn't help but tighten his pupils, and a trace of helpless anxiety crossed his eyebrows.
Hearing that Cheng Jinzhi was pregnant, he was of course overjoyed, happier than anyone else.
He never even thought that he would have a biological flesh and blood that could continue his bloodline so soon.
But when he thought of the current situation of internal and external troubles, especially the unresolved case of the disaster relief officer Yin and the fact that Princess Yuanxi was about to marry into the palace, he restrained his expression and secretly sighed in his heart.
"Imperial Doctor He, that golden branch suddenly fainted, but because she was pregnant, she didn't have peace of mind to recuperate?"
"The princess's physical foundation is still good, even if she is pregnant, slight dizziness or weakness will indeed occur, but it will not suddenly fall to the ground and faint. He Quan replied seriously, and then frowned slightly, "And judging from the pulse, the princess has qi deficiency and weak blood, and the pulse is vain, I think it should be because she has been thinking too much recently, she is depressed, or she has been frightened by something, and she has not recuperated well, so she will have such a situation as fainting." ”
"Overthinking and frustration. ”
Gao Heng repeated what He Quan said, expecting that Cheng Jinzhi was probably because he was haunted by Princess Yuanxi.
But he also understands that even if Cheng Jinzhi is obsessed with this marriage, she is optimistic and frank by nature, and she is not the kind of person who will drill the horns of the bull, so she will not let herself be affected so much.
So he could faintly feel that in addition, Cheng Jinzhi seemed to have other things to hide from him.
Indeed, for Cheng Jinzhi, in the face of that difficult and cruel decision and pain, the fact that Princess Yuanxi married into the palace has long seemed insignificant.
After sending He Quan away, Gao Heng temporarily put away the heavy joy in his heart, sat on the side of Cheng Jinzhi's bed and covered the quilt for her, was silent for a long time, and then got up and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Heng'er, where are you going?"
Seeing that Gao Heng was not by Cheng Jinzhi's side but was about to leave suddenly, Concubine Hui was puzzled, so she stopped him.
"Erchen went out to do some errands, and asked the mother concubine to take good care of Jin Zhi, and if she woke up, tell her that Erchen would be back soon. ”
Gao Heng didn't look back, but said in an indifferent tone, his face was cold and silent, and his eyes were heavy.
"Heng'er, are you going to find that Nanchu princess?"
Concubine Hui stepped forward to make a tentative speech, and when she saw Gao Heng silent, she knew that she had said what he thought in his heart.
"Heng'er, you have always acted steadily, you should know better than your mother that you shouldn't go to her at this time. ”
Concubine Hui frowned slightly, tightened her cheeks, and there was a layer of grim meaning floating between her words.
"This marriage is a foregone conclusion, you go at this time, not only can it not help the current situation, if you offend these Chu people, it will not only be a disaster for you, but also make your father and emperor in a dilemma, so as to blame you. Don't forget, there are still many hidden dangers in the disaster relief official silver case back then, and I don't know how your father will decide, if it is really as you and Jin Zhi expected, then this princess of Nanchu is a life-saving straw, even if you have resentment in your heart, you have to wait for this matter to pass. ”
"Mother, you know the personality of your son, you hate being coerced the most in your life, and you will definitely not turn to her. Gao Heng turned sideways, his gaze twisted into a sharp light, "Since there is nothing the son can do in front of his father, the son wants to see how this princess of Chu who embarrassed her father in front of the Manchu Dynasty will deal with the son?"
"Heng'er, the concubine knows that you feel sorry for Jin Zhi and don't want to see her wronged. Concubine Hui said and walked around to Gao Heng, with a shallow haze brewing between her eyebrows, "But you also know what your royal brother and queen mother are, if you are really implicated because of this case, your own body may be fine, but now you not only have the princess Jin Zhi, but also have a child, you must endure everything again and again, Jin Zhi She has always been empathetic, and she will definitely understand you." ”
What Concubine Hui said, Gao Heng was actually like a mirror.
It's just that no matter how calm and rational people are, once they have concerns and weaknesses that others can threaten them, they always hope to protect them for the rest of their lives, and they don't want to see the people they cherish suffer any harm.
What's more, Gao Heng himself is a person who values love and righteousness.
Whether it is Concubine Hui as a mother, or Cheng Jinzhi as a wife, and the child in her womb at the moment, they will all be the people she will desperately protect all her life.
But if one day, they lose their current status and glory, then everything will only be like the one who suffered indifference and suffering in the deep palace many years ago, and they will no longer be able to protect them except for being slaughtered.
Not only that, but even the people around him will be implicated and blamed.
This is something he will never allow to happen.
Thinking of this, he finally closed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, and after a helpless sigh, he stopped taking steps forward.
After a long time, after seeing Gao Heng's clenched fist gradually relax by revealing half of his sleeves, Concubine Hui stretched the corners of her eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief with a sad expression.
