In April of the first year of Yuanping, it is now on the sting.

When he heard the news, Liu Yi had already walked in the market, and he was mixed in the vast sea of people, and at that moment, he was stunned, and tears were about to fall.

He didn't hold back, but the tears didn't fall either.

Not a drop fell.

When he was young, he heard the old man say that when people are sad, they will not have tears. There is no greater mourning than death.

He could imagine how chaotic the Jianzhang Palace was at this time, the ministers were wailing and crying, and the palace concubines were emitting dirt...... He remembered the young emperor's eyes, what the young emperor had said to him......

The scene I met outside the Changmen Palace that day is still vivid, it was yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, the young emperor died.

There are few people in the world, and they are all like floating dust.

In Liu Ai's heart, the young emperor is a very good person. Although he is in a high position and is a noble man, he is not noble and arrogant, and he is approachable between words and words.

Liu Yi had closed his eyes, and his mind was buzzing. The young emperor's pale face came to mind.

He smiled pale but gentle, and every word he said was measured, and the emperor's bearing was complete. Liu Yi already admires this kind of demeanor very much, after all, the young emperor grew up in the palace, and he is different from the children who grew up in the market.

Zhang He once told him the story of the young emperor. The young emperor Fuling has been wise since he was a child, and his planning is quite the style of Emperor Xiaowu back then.

At that time, Huo Guang was an auxiliary politician, the emperor was young, and the princes from all walks of life had coveted the throne for a long time, and they were eyeing each other, and the princes' power was the most prosperous with Liu Dan, the king of Yan. This Liu Dan is ambitious, and he wants to force the palace to seize the throne because of his identity as the son of Emperor Xiaowu. If you want to pull the emperor off the horse, you must first punish the king's side thorns, so the Yan Wang forces regard the auxiliary minister Huo Guang as a thorn in the side, and want to get rid of it quickly.

Liu Dan forced Huo Guang to abdicate, but he was recognized by the young emperor Fuling, and he deducted the book and kept it secret. Liu Dan secretly acted ruthlessly and framed Huo Guang for rebellion. Unexpectedly, the conspiracy was broken by the young emperor, and Liu Dan failed to succeed.

Since this incident, the court praised the young emperor for his wisdom, and for a while his confidence in opening up the territory and expanding the territory doubled, and everyone hoped that the young emperor could be like his father Emperor Xiaowu to create a prosperous Han dynasty.

At that time, after Liu Yi had heard the story of the young emperor Fuling, he admired him. The young emperor is really jealous of fate, if he can live well until the end of his life, the Han Dynasty will reach the peak of the prosperous world.

Liu Yi had already walked to his stall in a daze, planning to roll up the contempt and close the stall.

Unconsciously, two lines of hot tears finally flowed......

He only felt a throbbing pain in his heart, as if he was being dragged by someone, choking and stuffy.

The pale boy will never smile again, and he will never tell him the story of Bowangyuan again. The only one who is willing to pay attention to him is His Majesty.

Liu Ai had been in it for a while, and then he put down his contempt again, refusing to take care of it anymore. He sat slumped in front of the stall, dazed. The Li butcher who killed the pig ran over and shouted at him: "Sick! The sky is falling! Majesty is dead! What can I do? His Majesty is young and childless, who will inherit the throne? Oh my! ”

Liu Ai had ignored him, and he was still buzzing in Liu Ai's ears. I couldn't get sick anymore, so I asked angrily, "What's wrong?" The sky is falling? ”

"Yes! Yes! The sky is falling!! ”

“…… Is that what I stepped on? ”

“……”

Li Butcher glanced at him and walked away.

Liu Yi was already sitting alone and crying silently, and he suddenly didn't want to go home again. He didn't know what kind of state he should face Pingjun when he went back at this time, and if Pingjun asked, how should he answer? Pingjun only said that he had nothing to do with the Han clan, and if she suddenly saw that he was hurt by the death of the young emperor, he would investigate the cause and effect, and this would inevitably start with the encounter in Changmen Palace. And he promised Granny Ah Chi that he wouldn't tell anyone what he met in Nagato Palace.

If you owe someone a promise, it's not good. He refused to make a casual lie to deceive Pingjun......

Besides, Pingjun is about to give birth, she should recuperate, and let her worry about this twist and turn, which is extremely unacceptable.

He was sick and soft-hearted and kind to others, and at that time, he unconsciously thought of Ah Chi's mother-in-law again. On that day in the Changmen Palace, he saw it with his own eyes, Ah Chi's mother-in-law and the young emperor's sister and brother have a deep relationship, and now that the young emperor has collapsed, Ah Chi's mother-in-law must be extremely sad.

Thinking so, he wanted to go to Nagato again.

Get up right away.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Na Zhang scurried, tired and sweating, wheezing. He calmed his breath, tugged at Liu's sleeve, and said hurriedly: "It's not good! Oh no, it's not good! ”

"I know," Liu Yi had a cold face, "I'm dead today." ”

"No...... No...... You...... You ......"

"I know," Liu Ying waved his hand, trying to drive Na Zhang away, "It's not a good thing - not only did it collapse today, but he died young and had no children, the throne was in vain, I don't know who can compete for the throne, you are worried about this, right?" ”

“…… No...... Not ......"

I said...... You and I are both ordinary people, why bother with this? Liu Yi no longer agreed: "You go, wait for me to slow down, don't you all say that the sky is going to fall." ”

"Yes...... It's your family Pingjun who is going to give birth! Are you going or not? ”

"What's ...... What's ......" Liu Yi was already shocked, and after being shocked, he was overjoyed, pinched Ah Zhang's shoulder fiercely, and shook it violently: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"What do you want me to say......"

When Liu Yi had returned home, he saw that there were many people sitting in the hall, and Ai Xiaoyan greeted him: "Sick enough, don't panic." He swept his eyes, there was no Pingjun's mother in the hall, and he thought that Xu's mother had already helped in the delivery room, so he was relieved, because he asked, "How is Pingjun?" Raw? ”

Ai Xiaoyan didn't talk, and she looked a little embarrassed.

Liu Yi was just about to go outside the door to wait for Pingjun, but was stopped by Zhang Pengzu who came out obliquely.

Liu Yi had already raised his head, and his heart was beating in shock.

Peng Zu's face was not very good-looking, he subconsciously guessed that the situation was not very good, so he asked urgently: "Peng Zu, what's the matter?" Isn't it good? ”

Zhang Pengzu hesitated slightly, and said, "You are sick, you have to be prepared,...... Pingjun, this child, is only afraid that it will be difficult to give birth. ”

"What do you mean?"

Liu Yi had subconsciously pinched Zhang Pengzu's arm, but he didn't realize how much force he had exerted, and Zhang Pengzu, who was pinching, frowned, and didn't dare to scream.

"This kid...... It can be regarded as a stable mother...... Wen Po also panicked, so that people came out and spread the word, life and death are up to heaven. Zhang Pengzu lowered his head after speaking, this sentence, every word is hot, he said it so hard.

Liu Ai almost fainted, but fortunately, his father-in-law Xu Guanghan held his hand to catch him. The two of them were facing each other, and they were so worried that they almost sat and cried at each other. Liu Yi was already on Xu Guanghan's shoulder, and choked up: "Dad, what can I do?" What should I do if Pingjun is not good?! ”

"Sick over, sick ...... This matter, our Xu family can't stand you......" Xu Guanghan snorted and said sadly: "If this first son can't be saved, I will persuade Pingjun to allow you to take a concubine in the future, you have to spread the branches, I, as an old father-in-law, will never complain for my daughter!" ”

Xu Guanghan swore an oath.

Liu Yi was secretly crying blood in his heart, thinking to himself, father-in-law, father-in-law, you will be completely wrong about what I mean, how can I dislike Pingjun and not be able to save a child!

If Pingjun is gone, what else will he do?!

Xu Guanghan spoke like this, and it was completely for his daughter's good. Throughout the ages, what family didn't want a son? Giving birth to a daughter, one is good, and if you have more, you will lose your family! Who would be a rare girl! He first allowed him to take a concubine after his illness, so that this son-in-law's mind can be tied to his daughter for a long time!

That's what men think.

But he didn't think so anymore.

Xu Guanghan said this, but also reminded Liu of the disease, he buzzed in his head for a while, and a spirit was excited, so he hurriedly rushed to the delivery room.

This sprint hit a panicked little girl head-on......

The little girl is born, and Liu Yi doesn't know it. He didn't know what to say, but Xu Guanghan had already jumped over with a brisk step and asked urgently, "What?" What happened to my daughter Pingjun? ”

The little girl seemed to be choked, and Xu Guanghan was so anxious that she shook her: "You are talking!" Death in a hurry! He also greeted the sick: "Sick, this is the little girl brought by Wen Po,—— hey you said you, why don't you help!" What are you doing here! ”

Liu's illness had eased up, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Say it quickly!" ”

"Mother Zhang teaches you to rest assured, good and bad babies can be saved...... No matter how much, don't ask for it, it's good, that's God's reward, if God doesn't give this reward, we can't. ”

The little girl felt that she had learned the words of Mother Zhang, and she should be able to teach the family to be calm and accept their fate.

Isn't it common to give birth to a baby and die a person? It's cruel, but isn't that the truth? The old man said that when a woman gives birth to a baby, she will go to the ghost gate, and if she can't come back, it depends on her fate. Although the husband's family is sad and sad, but this pain will pass after a while, and it will soon be diluted by the joy of making Zhang, a woman's life, in exchange for the husband's family is complete, and the woman's sacrifice is worth it. And what about the mother's family? The water spilled by the married daughter has no part to speak in this kind of thing.

She and Zhang's mother have traveled to so many households and delivered so many children, which one is not like this? If you keep your mother and lose your child, you will be made difficult by your mother-in-law's family, which stable woman would dare to do this?

Therefore, when it came to Xu Pingjun's matter, they didn't think much about it, and they did it according to the usual practice.

The clinker touched a nose of ash here in Liu Ill, and Liu Ill choked up: "You go and tell Sù Zhang's mother, this ominous baby, I don't want it!" Please, beg her to keep Pingjun safe! ”

"Hun said, this is a male baby, the calves come out first, it is very difficult to give birth, it is so difficult for Zhang's mother to identify, what a male baby!"

"I don't care about any male or female babies, I don't want them all! Just remember, you must keep you safe and sound! - I want Pingjun to live well! ”

By the end of the day, he was almost hoarse.

"Then go and take a look!" The little girl had never seen such a person, and she was a little anxious, and said: "We can't have children, your wife has to say that she has to protect her child, if she can't protect the child, the responsibility is too big, and Zhang's mother has to do it!" ”

"Hun said!" Liu Yi said hatefully: "Who said that you want to protect the child? What do you want him to do with this wicked child of the mother? ”

As soon as he said cruel words, the whole person fell into despair, and said weakly: "Pingjun said that he wanted to protect the child, and abandoned her to ignore herself?" Really? How could she do that......"

"Naturally, take it seriously! You are a man who has never been a mother, how do you know that for a mother, a child is heavier than a qiē? If you can let the child survive well, as a mother, you will dare to break through the sword mountain and the sea of fire! ”

Mother's ...... For the sake of children, even the sword mountain and the sea of fire dare to break into the ......

The little girl's words didn't recur in his head...... He remembered his mother, who had died in the fire at Bowangyuan many years ago......

She must have thought so. As long as the disease has survived.

As long as the illness is healed.

As they spoke, the two of them had come to the delivery room one after the other.

Liu Yi's heart was already hanging tightly, and he couldn't help it.

As soon as he was ruthless, he was about to break in head-on - the little girl hurriedly stopped and said hurriedly: "The delivery room is a place of blood and light, and it is ominous!" If you go in, not only will it not help, but if you hit something you shouldn't have, it will be even worse! ”

He ignored it, broke away from the little girl's hand, and rushed in—

The moment the door was pushed and half pulled, Xu Pingjun suddenly screamed loudly!

His face was pale and gray, and the foot that had just stepped into the threshold was silently retracted...... He leaned against the wall, shrinking back, trembling slightly.

The little girl explained to him: "When my mother fainted, I was afraid that I would wake up in pain." He also said: "Through the door, if you have anything to say, just say it here, so as not to break in and mess up Zhang's mother's proportions, but it will be a bad thing." When the mother said that she couldn't let go of the child, if she could save it, she would save the child, put her little life first, and leave her alone. Persuade her here. ”

was reminded by the little girl like this, Liu Yi was already annoyed, how could he almost forget about it!

He leaned against the door and shouted inside, "Pingjun, just listen, if you choose between you and the child, I want you to live!" Pingjun, think about it for me, what should I do if I lose you? As he spoke, his voice choked slightly, and his emotions became more and more excited: "Pingjun, I just want you to live—just live!" Child...... Kid, we'll have it again! Yes, there are many! ”

He leaned against the door frame, only to feel weak, and slid down...... He squatted with his head in his hands, unable to move anymore, as if he had accepted his fate, just waiting for God to make the final decision.

"Wow......"

The baby's cry in the delivery room shattered the terrifying peace. Liu Yi has stood up suddenly! Because he got up too hard, he only felt his head swell, and he was dizzy and dizzy......

He was not happy at this time, the child was crying, and he could give birth; But his Pingjun is uncertain......

The door was finally opened.

Zhang's mother panted and sweated profusely: "It's really going to kill someone!" Toss people, look at me like this...... Ouch, I have good news to the emperor's great-grandson, congratulations to Mrs. for having a happy son, and the mother and son are safe! ”

- Mother and son are safe?!

He almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Mother Zhang, is Pingjun okay?" ”

"My life is saved, but it takes too much mental effort, and it is very empty, so I need to make up for it more and recuperate. …… The emperor's great-grandson, this child is not easy to get! Give the baby a name, huh? ”

Zhang's mother was also happy.
