Tian Xuan approached the bed step by step, looking down at Jiang Shao who was sleeping peacefully, nameless fear grabbed her, Tian Xuan trembled and stretched out her hand to stop at the tip of his nose, and then retracted her hand as if she had been burned, only to feel that the blood in her whole body instantly flowed backwards, and every part of her body began to tremble.

Bai Lu, who was guarding the door and paying attention to every move in the house, saw Tianxuan crumbling, and rushed over with an arrow, and after seeing the situation in front of him clearly, his apricot eyes widened.

Han Lu's heart jumped, and he stepped forward to explore Jiang Shao and shook his head at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu's heart sank, and she looked at Tianxuan who was distracted, her body was cold and scary. After thinking about it, Bai Lu still said: "Madam, the adults have already left, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go first." ”

Tianxuan, who was as colored as snow, looked at her blankly, and Bai Lu saw her tears rolling down, and her heart was also very uncomfortable. He simply walked out with Tianxuan in his arms.

Tianxuan stumbled and was helped out by her, constantly turning her head to look back, until she couldn't see it anymore, and the tears flowed more and more fiercely. Bai Lu never knew that women could cry so much, and those who cried were broken.

The bamboo forest in the courtyard swayed, like weeping, and seemed to be crying about the untimely death of the owner.

Jiang Zheng, who had already heard the news, saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and when she saw him, the tears that had been stopped slightly broke the embankment again. Jiang Zheng took Tianxuan from Bai Lu's hand and pressed her to his chest.

Tianxuan tugged at his collar and whimpered, releasing her grief in no reckless, in front of him, she didn't need to hide it.

After a while, Jiang Zheng noticed a slight wetness in her chest, which was caused by her tears soaking through her clothes. Jiang Zheng rubbed her back comfortingly, Jiang Shao's death made her sad, this sadness, not mixed with the love of men and women, is the righteousness of brothers and sisters.

After a long while, Tianxuan straightened up, wiped her sore eyes, and said in a dumb voice: "I'm much better, you go get busy, I'm back to the villa." ”

Jiang Zheng looked at her fixedly, thinking that there were children in the villa, and she would not indulge in sadness. Jiang Zheng nodded and ordered someone to fetch water to wash her face. After washing her face, she ordered someone to escort her to Jiumei Villa.

At this time, there were already bursts of mourning in Sanzhu's residence, and the princess of Jingjun, who rushed to hear the news, had no sadness on her face, only tears flowed down in strings. Staring at her son's peaceful remains, Princess Jingjun thought, no matter what, this child was happy when he left, so good, like this!

Luo Suyi came one step late, as soon as she heard the bad news, she closed her breath, and finally was picked up by the maid pinching the person, opened her eyes and burst into tears, staggered over, and when she arrived, she only felt that the world was spinning, and her eyes were full of stars, and she stumbled a few steps.

Startled, several maids changed color, and held her and said in a focused voice: "Madam! ”

Luo Suyi pushed the two away, stumbled to Jiang Shao's bed, couldn't support it anymore, his body was weak, he fell to his knees, and cried.

She remembered the first time they met, it was in Pengcheng, she was picking out jewelry with her servants, and she was invited to see the private room, and he was sitting in the house.

She was startled and subconsciously wanted to run. Until he opened his mouth with a smile, his voice was clear and gentle, soaked with the momentum of being in a high position, and strangely soothed the uneasiness in her heart.

"Miss Luo, I don't mean anything malicious." He clasped his hands on his lap and gestured leisurely: "I just have a secret to tell you, about your mother." ”

Later, she learned that Jiang Shao had been investigating her for a long time, and at the same time he had prepared several people, and she was the most suitable among them, if she didn't agree, then he would find another person to test her.

So far, she has been glad that her performance has satisfied Jiang Shao, not only because she successfully avenged her mother's murder, but also because that person is him, Jiang Shao! Marrying him, even if it is just a nominal couple, she is satisfied.

When this thought came to her, she struggled, resisted, panicked, but still sank uncontrollably, unable to extricate herself. Knowing the danger, it may even be impossible to recover, and still fall.

Sometimes she would have a dark thought, she hoped that he would not get what he wanted in his life, so she could naturally stay with him.

He guards the person in his heart, and she guards him, one year, two years, three years, five years, ten years...... When he gave up, she wished he could see her as soon as he turned around.

"Jiang Shao, I was wrong, I shouldn't have thought like that, I regret it, I will never have such selfish thoughts again, are you okay when you wake up? Jiang Shao, get up, how can you die! Luo Suyi cried incoherently.

Jiang Xin was startled, seeing her look confused, her heart trembled, she held her hand slapping the bed, and choked: "Second sister-in-law, don't be like this, you are like this, and the second brother is not at ease when he leaves." ”

Luo Suyi cried, grabbed Jiang Xin's hand, and cried loudly. Jiang Xin couldn't help crying bitterly, and the people next to him cried even more sadly when they saw this, and the house suddenly cried.

Jiang Yu, who rushed to hear the news, saw Luo Suyi and Jiang Xin hugging and crying as soon as he entered, and couldn't help but have sour eyes. Looking at the hollow eyes of Princess Jingjun, who he was most worried about, Jiang Yi knew that she was sad and ruthless, and she was sad and tearless. At that moment, a layer of fog appeared in his eyes, Jiang Yu looked away and looked at Jiang Shao on the bed, his eyes moved slightly, the corners of his mouth smiled, and his expression was peaceful. It's like just falling asleep, or dreaming.

He went to see Jiang Rong, although there was no hysterical roar but his face was full of failure, and he also came to see the seriously injured Jiang Shao, Jiang Shao was still awake at that time, without sorrow or joy, and put life and death out of the way, but there was no such tranquility and peace.

It is said that people will see what they want to see most before they die, maybe it's true, so he ended up smiling. That's great!

Jiang Yi comforted himself so much, tears unconsciously spilled down, he wiped a handful of tears, and said to King Jingjun, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, as if he had been drained of energy: "Second uncle's day mourning." He turned his head to look at Princess Jingjun, but he couldn't speak, he only felt uncomfortable as if his throat was blocked, and for the mother who lost her son, any words were too light.

Jiang Yi unnaturally looked away, walked up to Jiang Zong, and patted him on the shoulder: "You have to take care, now the second uncle and second aunt can only rely on you." ”

Jiang Zong didn't know this, he even remembered some specious words from Jiang Shao a few years ago, the second brother had already expected this day, so he had been honing himself. Just yesterday, the eldest girl in front of the second brother handed over most of the second brother's private property to him and asked him to share it equally with his sister and brother.

"I know! Jiang Zong straightened his originally straight back, the eldest brother is gone, he is the eldest son of this family, his parents are old, his sister is still widowed, and his younger brother is young, he can't collapse, he must not collapse!

Jiang Yi stayed in the county king's mansion for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing he needed to help with, he told Jiang Zong to send someone to inform him of something, and left. It will take some time to set up the mourning hall and worship it. And he also has a lot of things on his hands, and his busy feet don't touch the ground, in the past few years, he has grown a little bit and can give Jiang Zheng a hand.

I didn't want to step into the palace with one foot, and I saw the mother-in-law in front of Qiu Shuqing running over in a hurry, with a look of mourning.

Jiang Yi's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly felt ominous.

Sure enough, the mother-in-law didn't wait to catch her breath, and said in a trembling voice: "Fourth master, Madame coughed up blood." ”

Jiang Yi's face changed slightly, and his mood was a little delicate, as soon as Cousin Shao left, she coughed up blood, if you want to say that it doesn't matter, he doesn't believe Jiang Yi if he kills him, and if he can't die, he won't believe it even more. His wife has a deep affection for his cousin, although he has known it for a long time, but he still feels uncomfortable when he hears it.

Jiang Yi scolded: "Scorpion sting, I don't know what time it is, you still want to make trouble with adults." ”

The mother-in-law who reported the news trembled with fright, and lowered her head silently to apologize: "The fourth master forgives the sins, the fourth master forgives the sins." ”。

Jiang Yi frowned, and asked distraughtly, "Have you notified the government doctor?" ”

"Informed."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi didn't say anything more and went to visit. Anyway, you have to check it out.

Before seeing Qiu Shuqing, Jiang Yi was bored and felt that she had caused chaos to him, but after seeing her in person, that irritability suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Yi looked at the withered woman in front of him in disbelief, not like a young woman in her prime, but more like a thirty-year-old woman.

He knew that Qiu Shuqing was not in good health, and she had not recovered well since the Chinese New Year's Eve miscarriage that year. Later, he went to Qingzhou to take office, while Qiu Shuqing stayed in the palace, which was both recuperation and grounding. But it doesn't seem to work well, she can't let go, so she feels sorry for herself, and her body is getting worse and worse, even if no one mentions grounding later, but she doesn't have the strength to get out of the yard.

And Jiang Yi also left this wife behind, he can tolerate his wife's heart, but he can't tolerate his wife's actions to be obsessed with another man.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen her for half a year, but he wasn't so haggard at that time. At this moment, her whole body was thin and out of shape, her cheeks were sunken, and her cheekbones were prominent. If it weren't for the fact that her eyelashes were still fluttering slightly, Jiang Yi would have thought that she was out of breath.

Jiang Yi felt strange in his heart, he thought it might be because of the one-day husband and wife.

"Have you notified the Qiu family?" Jiang Yi asked suddenly.

There was silence in the room, and only then did someone have the courage to say, "Not yet." ”

Jiang Yi was furious and shouted: "Don't hurry up and notify it." "I can't help but feel sad, now that there is chaos in the house, these people don't dare to do much. But Qiu Shuqing looked like this, Jiang Tao was afraid that she would have a good one, just like Cousin Shao next door, she would go, and there would be no relatives around to accompany her at that time, which was too desolate.

This kind of movement finally made Qiu Shuqing open her eyes, and found Jiang Yi at a glance, after meeting her gaze, Jiang Tao didn't know what to say, it was extremely embarrassing, but fortunately, the house doctor arrived.

Seeing that the house doctor's brows were getting tighter and tighter, Jiang Tao's heart gradually sank.

After withdrawing his hand, the house doctor said: "The fourth lady is an old disease, so I can recuperate, I will go down and try another prescription." ”

Receiving the gesture from the house doctor's eyes, Jiang Tao muttered: "I haven't seen any improvement for so long, I'll ask him if he will see a doctor." As he spoke, he followed the doctor to the outer room.

As soon as he got outside, Jiang Yu was serious: "You tell the truth!" ”

The house doctor sighed and couldn't bear to say: "The fourth lady is already a sign of running out of oil and the lamp is dry, and she could have survived for a year and a half, but this mouthful of blood spit out, it will be about this month." "The woman in the prime of life wants to disappear the clouds, and she can't help but think of Jiang Shao, who has just left next door, is in the prime of life, and the time is also fate!

Jiang Yu closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Don't let Madame know, let her have a better life in the end, just go to the warehouse to get any medicine you want." ”

The government doctor agreed, pushed down and wrote the prescription.

Jiang Yi stood in place for a while, even if he didn't like Qiu Shuqing, but she was going to die, at most a month's life, Rao is Jiang Tao was a little unbelievable, he looked whole before stepping into the house.

"The doctor said that your body needs to be slowly recuperated, and the most important thing is to relax." Jiang Yi softened his voice, how long had it been since their husband and wife had been so harmonious.

Qiu Shuqing was stunned, and immediately laughed, this smile on her skinny face, it was really not beautiful, in fact, she was really a beauty before, and she believed that she was one of the best beauties.

"My own body, I know better than anyone else, that I'm going to die." Qiu Shuqing said weakly: "I know, it's okay like this, I can finally be free." ”

Jiang Yi opened her mouth, feeling strangely that the blood had emptied what little vitality she had left, and by the way, it also took away her blind and irrational love.

Qiu Shuqing took a breath and continued: "In my life, I was born in a family, favored by my elders, and humble by my brothers, so to speak, the only thing that is unsatisfactory is ......."

She didn't continue, but the two of them knew it.

Qiu Shuqing pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly: "The more you ask for it, the more you beg like a demon, and you don't hesitate to make yourself bruised, I don't want to do anything for myself, but I can't help you, I occupy the position of the fourth lady, but I teach you to be seen as a joke!" ”

didn't want her to say this, Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment before saying, "Who dares to laugh at me!" Speaking of which, when you marry me, it is true that I have taken advantage. "Although he is the concubine of the palace, but with his wandering reputation and his ability to become unsuccessful, he really can't marry Qiu Shuqing under normal circumstances. At that time, Qiu Shuqing came from a famous family, his uncles and brothers all held great power, and his talent and appearance were all leaders in the circle of nobles in Xindu.

Qiu Shuqing bent the corners of her mouth, as if she was amused by him: "In this life, I am sorry for you, I have involved you for no reason, but I have not been a good wife." Second, I'm sorry for giving birth to me and raising my mother's family. I know what the family means, they want to marry my sister in. "She didn't have a long life, and her sister was six years younger than her, so she was just the right age. Anyone with eyes knows that sooner or later she will have the surname Jiang, and although she married in, she did not leave a son and a half daughter, and as soon as she left, the relationship between the two families was broken.

However, because of her, it is impossible for the daughter of the Qiu family to marry the rest of the Jiang family, so taking her position is the best way.

She said lightly, but Jiang Yi was embarrassed: "Don't think nonsense, you take care of your body." ”

Qiu Shuqing said to herself, as if she was afraid that if she didn't say it, she wouldn't have a chance: "My sister is different from me, she has been dignified and virtuous since she was a child, she will be the fourth master's virtuous helper, or a beauty, after I leave, the fourth master married her to be a continuation, okay?" ”

Jiang Yi was stunned, speechless, to be honest, he had no opinion on who to marry as a sequel, but in such a situation, these words came out of Qiu Shuqing's mouth, and he only felt unspeakably weird.

"You and I are husband and wife, this is the only request I have before I die, the fourth master should have pity on me!" Qiu Shuqing looked at Jiang Tao sadly.

Jiang Yi couldn't stand her gaze and nodded.

Qiu Shuqing's face showed a look of relief, the Qiu family raised her, but she never did anything for the family, and she did everything to cause trouble for the family, and finally did one thing for the family when she was dying, so that she could feel less guilty.

Jiang Yu saw that her eyelids couldn't help dropping, and knew that saying these words had exhausted her, so she said: "I'll leave first, your mother's family will be there later, if you want, let them stay in the house to accompany you for a few days." ”

"Thank you, Fourth Master."

Jiang Yi smiled and left with his legs raised.

However, the Qiu family failed to accompany Qiu Shuqing for a few more days after all, and that night, Qiu Shuqing went, looking peaceful and quiet.

The government doctor who said that Qiu Shuqing still had more than a month to die broke out in a cold sweat in the winter, constantly wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, and was speechless to Jiang Yi.

However, Jiang Yi did not anger him, his wish was gone, the fate of the dust was broken, and he wanted to die, so he died, what a simple thing!

Qiu Shuqing can't even say the four words that Jiang Shao is destined for this life, and she can die on the same day, the same month, and the same year, I don't know if she liked it at the moment she left, so she left with a smile.

Looking at the corners of her slightly raised mouth, for no reason, Jiang Yi thought of Jiang Shao, and his appearance was so serene and calm.

Now he really believes that people will see what they want to see before they die.

The two palaces reported funerals one after another, which did not cause too many waves, because they had not yet waited for everyone to react. Zen let the ceremony be held as scheduled. After being a puppet emperor for five years, the late Emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty and the King of Ji resigned, and the King of Ji officially ascended the throne with his sick body.

Tianxuan didn't participate in the grand occasion of that day, she was still 'confined'! But even in the mountains, she could sense the indescribable excitement of the people around her.

King Ji was called the emperor, Princess Ji was the queen, Concubine Ji was the queen mother, Jiang Zheng was the crown prince, and Tianxuan was also promoted to the crown princess.

When the holy decree was delivered, the Liu family on the side couldn't help but be overjoyed, King Ji had a lot of dissatisfaction with Tianxuan, although Jiang Zheng was deeply concerned, but Liu was still worried, afraid that King Ji would do something. Now a heart can be considered to fall back into the stomach.

The eunuch who came to deliver the decree was Jiang Zheng's person, so the process went smoothly, Tianxuan responded to the scene in the house, and after receiving the decree, he signaled Bai Lu to reward the visitor.

"What is the crown princess?" Yuanbao's eyes widened, full of curiosity.

Liu Shi hugged him and said with a smile: "The crown princess is the prince's wife, your father is the prince, and your mother is the crown princess!" ”

Yuan Bao scratched his head, the change of the identity of the elders in just a few days made him at a loss, Tianxuan was afraid that he would ask some taboo things, so he said: "You go to see if your sister is awake?" ”

As soon as she heard her sister, her sister didn't care about her doubts anymore, and she jumped to the ear room. Bai Lu hurriedly followed.

"Brother Bao is a good brother!" Liu said.

Tianxuan curled the corners of her mouth. When she was a child, Shen Tianshu was so rare for her, a little person insisted on hugging her, but after hugging her, he didn't dare to move, and Jiang Shao ......

Seeing that she couldn't smile, Liu sighed secretly, since she came back from a trip down the mountain, she was depressed. The shadow of the loss of a loved one does not dissipate so easily. The Liu family also knows this reason, but Jiang Shao is not an ordinary relative, and the Liu family is a little worried that Jiang Zheng will mind. This is not the same as it used to be, and you need to be more careful. Seeing that Bai Lu was not there at this moment, he said: "The deceased has passed away, and the living mourn." ”

Tianxuan smiled and slowly retracted the curvature of the corners of her mouth: "Mother, I understand, I will adjust my emotions." She understands the truth, but if the seven emotions and six desires can be controlled freely, then it is not a human being but a god. That person carried her entire childhood and closed her eyes forever before her eyes.

Liu slapped her hand and said seriously: "I'm relieved if you understand." Looking sideways at the ear room, there was a loud cry from An Anwa, and Yuan Bao'er's anxious reassuring voice.

Liu said with a smile: "Accompany Yuan Baoer and An An more, and you will be in a much better mood." ”

Tianxuan also looked over, the nurse hugged An An, who was crying, and came out to look for her, the little girl was very squeamish, and when she woke up, she was about to cry when she didn't see Tianxuan, and Yuan Bao followed behind, her little brows were furrowed, and she was distressed and helpless about how her sister was crying again.

Looking at the children who were getting closer and closer, warmth came to her heart, and Tianxuan said to Liu: "Yes! ”

#

February 23.

After only 35 days, the emperor died, and the crown prince Jiang Zheng succeeded him. The boot hanging in everyone's hearts finally landed, and the first emperor ran out of oil and dried up, which is something that many people know, and this day came unexpectedly but unexpectedly.

The Ministry of Rites prepared early, and the extremely mournful funeral was carried out in an orderly manner.

And Tianxuan, who had disappeared for more than half a year, finally appeared in public, and the wife who entered the palace and cried involuntarily raised her eyes and looked at the freshly baked queen without a trace.

In private, they didn't discuss whether Tianxuan was disfigured because of pregnancy. Such examples are rare, but they are not impossible, there are women who are lucky, girls who are like flowers, once they are pregnant, their faces are full of spots, and even if they give birth, they can't subside, even if they can't cover them with powder.

Seeing that her jade face was smooth and flawless, many people had bitter mouths. They have no grudges with Tianxuan, but who calls her husband the emperor! They wanted to send the girl to the palace, and Tianxuan had to bear the brunt of it, how could they hope that she would be well.

Tianxuan lowered her head and gently wiped An An's face with a handkerchief, the little guy was tired of crying, and he was hungry after all. Tianxuan deliberately didn't let her eat enough, she knew what it was to cry, but if her daughter didn't cry, others would gossip. In this position, the people below were staring at their mother and son's every move with a magnifying glass, hoping to find a mistake, tear them off, and step on them again.

However, she would never give them that chance. Tianxuan raised his eyes, and his eyes drooped at the sobbing crowd everywhere he passed.
