Chapter Seventy-Five: The Death of Yuan Ying
"Now, what's going on outside the walls of this palace?" I curled up in the corner, my bare feet against the cold floor, the room was pitch black, and I asked slowly when I heard someone unlock the door and push it in.
The visitor did not answer me.
I didn't bother to ask any more, I just leaned my head against the wall, not wanting to move.
"Let's eat some." He said, "Even if it's not for yourself, it's for the sake of your children." ”
I could hear that it was Takasaki, but I still didn't bother to respond to him, I really didn't care about his behavior like a lackey, and snorted coldly, not wanting to talk to him.
Seeing that I didn't react, he hesitated for a moment, then picked up the food on the table again, walked over, and placed it on the ground beside me.
"Protect your children and live well. Maybe he's trying to get you out. ”
My heart was clenched.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, he turned his head sideways and glared at him.
Will Yuan Ying know that I, who have been missing for more than four months, am trapped in the imperial concubine? With him within the walls of the Shao Palace, will he know that I am imprisoned here by her?
But even if he knew, what would he do?
The imperial concubine's ever-expanding ambition is no longer just about manipulating Yuan Ying. She wants this world, she wants a puppet, she wants revenge, she wants to trample a qiē under her feet, to avenge her "dead" children, to avenge the humiliation she has suffered.
But Yuan Ying is destined not to be the son of heaven she can control single-handedly.
Now in her hands, she has a better puppet candidate than Yuan Ying, and it is in my stomach.
What can I do?
Once this child is born, it will completely change Beishao's current situation, and this child will inherit Yuan Ying's bloodline and replace him as the best puppet of the Son of Heaven. His birth will not only make Yuan Ying lose the assistance of the imperial concubine and become a fierce rival, but also put his parents to death in the careful calculation of the imperial concubine.
But I couldn't make this decision and let him die.
Yuan Ying didn't know his existence yet, and I wanted him to survive so much.
But even if Yuan Ying knew, would he keep this child?
I reached out and flipped over the food in front of me, squeezing a word from between my teeth, "Get out." ”
I didn't pay attention to Takasaki's expression, only that after a moment of silence, he crouched down and picked up the dishes I had overturned, and he didn't bother a word the whole time.
Just as he opened the door and was about to go out.
"Takasaki, you will die at my hands." I turned my head sideways and looked at him coldly.
He only glanced at me, couldn't tell what kind of demeanor it was, and went out.
You are the best dog in the hands of the imperial concubine.
Someday I will sacrifice my children with your blood.
My mother hated me, she thought I was dead, she thought she was unlucky, she decided that she wanted to take revenge on this troubled time, so she wanted to sacrifice me, she wanted to take my child.
I knew that Yuan Ying would come to my rescue. But I also know that this child is not suitable for birth now.
At this time, there was no one who could comfort me by my side.
I'm dragging my time day by day, I don't want to face the situation where I have to give up a choice, I'm waiting for Yuan Ying to come, waiting for him to save me. I'm waiting, waiting for my mother to find out the truth and understand that I'm not dead.
The light that came in through the window humiliated my patience with dim and dim.
I am like the helpless life of Shao Palace, withering little by little in the remote garden of this Qiongtian Palace.
"Will he come to our rescue?" I asked sluggishly as I touched my slightly bulging lower abdomen.
At dusk that day, I finally waited for someone who might bring me hope. When Gong Li pushed open the door and slowly walked indoors, he didn't find me at the first time, he turned his head to look for it, only to see me cowering in the corner, obviously startled.
When I saw him, I suddenly smiled.
Laughing and laughing, crying, laughing at your stupidity, crying your helplessness.
Yuan Ying knew I was here.
He knew it at all.
Gong Li didn't explain anything, nor did he say a word of comfort, he stood in front of me, and I couldn't help crying.
I hugged my stomach and cried for a long time, crying so much that the placket of my clothes was damp and cold. Crying so much that I didn't even have the strength to complain, I reached for the hem of his robe.
"Why?" But it was Gong Li who asked me first.
There was so much love in my heart that I couldn't speak.
Gong Li cautiously looked outside and lowered his voice, "You chose to stay with the imperial concubine, did you?" So you're going to get rid of the other one, isn't it. ”
I shook my head in denial.
"Then why don't you get out of here, they can't trap you at all." Gong Li was surprised.
I slowly spread out the hand holding my belly, Gong Li followed my movements and glanced at it, I was speechless in shock, the bulging belly was already obvious, and the string of yin jade beads in my hand had lost its luster, yin and yang condensed, and it was suppressed in the body for the breath of Zhaohua jasper, if I forcibly drove the ability of the jade spirit, it would directly destroy the weak life in the abdomen.
Gong Li was silent for a long time before he said something from between his squirming lips that he was not sure about, "Your Highness probably didn't expect that there would be this child." ”
I understand that.
The kid was so unexpected.
In the days since I disappeared, there have been so many things that have happened that I am dead.
There was a dead silence again.
What I thought of, I'm afraid Gong Li has already thought of it. He was silent and didn't say anything, probably like me, he understood that Yuan Ying would not allow this child to come at this time, threatening my life and threatening the world that was close to me.
"How's it going out there?" I asked, and the feelings had slowly calmed down.
"He went crazy looking for you, he wanted to see people in life, and he ...... to die" Gong Li didn't continue, I'm afraid that the second half of the sentence was already his worst plan, "Until a few days ago, the imperial concubine let Takasaki breathe, but ......"
Gong Li didn't finish speaking, I understood what he meant.
They thought I had betrayed Yuan Ying, and I laughed.
"If it were something else, probably no one would believe it, but His Royal Highness knows better than anyone that the indissoluble karma between you and the imperial concubine, you are too persistent in your feelings, and he is not confident." Gong Li also smiled.
"Am I being too cowardly?" Trapped in a love word, you can never escape, and you always think you have a lot of ability, but you lose to the fetters of feelings after all. "It's true, but she just doesn't believe it. Even though I was still alive, she thought I was dead. What would you do if you had such a mother? ”
Gong Li was stunned for a while, and his face was a little unpleasant.
"When it's time to give up, give it up." Relatives, it shouldn't just be a blood relationship, if that person wants you to die, why bother with old feelings. It's just that when I didn't have time to surprise Gong Li that he would be so decisive when he decided to make a decision, he was deflated again, "When you persuade others, this is easy to say." When it comes to oneself, it is difficult to do. ”
Indeed, he was not wrong.
As a bystander, you can easily say cruel words, but as an authority, everyone becomes stupid.
"His Royal Highness has led the troops out today, and Emperor Beishao's illness has come to an end, but Xiyi has taken the opportunity to make trouble at this time, and Wei Xiao is actively pulling over the old department, and there are signs of recovering the country. His Royal Highness's intention is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the imperial concubine in the court is controlled by one person, and no one dares to speak. Gong Li fell silent again.
I naturally feel bad in my heart, right now in this Beishao Palace, I'm afraid I'm just waiting for the old emperor to kick his legs.
This game between the imperial concubine and Yuan Ying, after all, is to be divided into winners and losers, Gong Li's position is very embarrassing, if he stands with his master, he is from the imperial concubine's faction, if he stands on Yuan Ying's side, it is a break with his master.
And my decision will become the most important part of this game of death.
If I help the imperial concubine with the kindness of my bloodline, not to mention the ability of this unknown jade spirit itself, even the child in my womb can replace Yuan Ying and ascend to the throne with his bloodline, of course, to do so is to ask Yuan Ying to die first. And if I choose Yuan Ying, I will definitely oppose my biological mother, and when Yuan Ying is done, how can his old department leave the life of the imperial concubine.
And the child in my womb...... On the day of Yuan Ying's success, even if he can save my life, will his old ministry be able to accommodate my child born as his eldest son?
Sandwiched between the two, I lost whether I made or failed.
"Did the imperial concubine ask you to persuade me to raise this child?" I asked him weakly.
But Gong Li didn't answer me directly, "My master is also missing." ”
"The imperial concubine will not let him die so soon. If she can find me, she will definitely find your master. Right now, you and I are in the same dilemma, and it seems that you are not here for anyone. It is estimated that Gong Li is also thinking about which side to stand on. I advised him, "Don't make decisions too early to live longer." ”
Gong Li frowned, "What do you mean?" ”
"Take Fu Ning away. How far to go. "There is a storm coming from Shao Palace, and you don't need too many sacrifices," Don't tell anyone about children, believe me, especially the imperial concubine. ”
I'm afraid she's got what I've figured out what I'm thinking.
It's just that she hopes that the child's affairs will be passed on to him by someone who can make Yuan Ying trust, the child, will make me and Yuan Ying completely turn their faces, and it is difficult for me to decide whether to have a child or Yuan Ying, so she is forcing me to make this decision.
Yuan Ying's trip has been going for two months.
Based on his itinerary, it shouldn't have been delayed for so long, and the only one who can do something in this is the person who is currently in charge of Beishao. She is dragging out time, dragging the time when the child is born.
But in the end, what kind of trouble did he encounter and did not return?
I don't dare to make a decision lightly, whether Yuan Ying is waiting for an opportunity somewhere to brew his conspiracy. The imperial concubine can trap me in Gong Heng's dream for so long, and I am afraid that there are still capable people around her who have not shown up.
Seeing that the belly is getting bigger day by day, the child in the womb is almost seven months old.
I don't know who else is left in this Shao Palace.
Someone's coming. After a moment of waiting outside the door, the guard, after a period of examination, skillfully opened the iron lock hanging outside, and the maid came in with her head down with the food and the decoction, without saying a word, and put the decoction on the table as usual, and then left with her head down, and the iron lock locked me here again.
Every day.
I walked over to the table, pinched the bowl with one hand, drank it with a clatter, and then turned back and sat back in a daze.
But after a while, I suddenly felt sleepy, although not as lazy as sleepy, but for a while I felt that my consciousness began to be a little blurry. It occurred to me if there was something wrong with the potion.
Immediately after, there was a burst of sharp pain.
It's like the intestines stirring violently in the lower abdomen.
Sometimes there is a pain of being broken.
I tried to get up, but as soon as I reached the edge of the bed, I fell to one side and fell weakly.
What's going on?! There's no way she's going to drug me, she needs this child to be her puppet, so even if she takes the risk, she allows Gong Li to come and persuade me to keep the child, she definitely won't want this child's life.
Hurt. It hurts.
Breathing became more and more rapid.
Fingers clutched weakly in the air.
Why, who exactly wants this child's life.
Beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down his forehead.
It hurt so much that even a coma became a luxury.
endured the severe pain, and the devastating invasion again and again.
Why.
I want to give birth here in peace.
There were people who wanted to harm him.
It was like the ribs were going to be broken.
A hysterical wail erupted from his throat.
I had a faint consciousness, but I couldn't pay attention to anything. I just felt that someone came in in a trance, and after a while, someone was attached to me, holding my pulse.
After a while, you can feel that people are constantly coming and going.
"The bleeding doesn't stop, I'm afraid...... Can't keep it. "I heard someone talking.
"It doesn't matter to adults, as long as you are in this palace, keep the child in her womb, even if her child can only live for a few days after birth, let him land safely first." That's the last thing she heard.
I lay flat on the bed, tears sliding down my sides. I only felt a chill in my body, and my body was going to be cold.
Mom, help me.
This sentence lingered in my mouth, blurted out several times, I trembled in pain, bit my lip hard, and didn't let it say it, I couldn't say it, I couldn't say it!
The more it hurts, the more I want to cry, and the more I want to cry, the more desperate I become.
I was reluctant to Yuan Ying, reluctant to have children, reluctant mothers, and finally forced myself to the end step by step, why! I'm not willful, it's just that I've had enough of the days when no one is distressed.
The smell of blood filled the mouth, and it turned out to be a medicine that calmed people down.
I waited quietly for death, tears still lingering, but ......
"Yuan Ying is dead, so neither you nor the child can live."
Someone whispered something in my ear.
Yuan Ying is dead.
Yuan Ying is dead......
I repeated this phrase over and over again in my mind, slowly absorbing its meaning.
When Yuan Ying went to Xiyi, the imperial concubine began to woo Guo Taifu, who was the prince's master, and was the person who could confirm the identity of the child in my womb after Yuan Ying's "accidental death".
Guo Taifu pretended to betray Yuan Ying and became a traitor by the side of the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine kept him, but she didn't fully believe him, to put it bluntly, she had her own thoughts.
It's just that one day, as my children grow up, there are still people's ambitions**, and Mrs. Guo is by the side of the imperial concubine, and she actually buys the maid who takes care of me. A moment ago, the imperial concubine issued a killing order, and secretly sent all his killers to take Yuan Ying's life, and the next second, Guo Taifu actually let the maid poison my decoction, if I die with the child a moment in advance, the imperial concubine will inevitably stop, and the Beishao rivers and mountains that are at her fingertips will fall into the hands of the Yuwen family, she will definitely withdraw the secret order and let Yuan Ying return safely.
I was afraid that I was lying on the bed like this and refused to close my eyes, so Mrs. Guo asked the maid to say such a sentence in my ear again. Mourning is greater than dying.
I suddenly laughed, more and more stiff, more and more confused, but more and more pathetic to human nature.
There was a burst of laughter, in this busy room, the quiet Shao Palace, unexpectedly, was particularly terrifying.
