Chapter 140: Choice
Yue Liushao, who was in charge of the money, paid the consultation fee, and then ordered Shui Langlian to send the old doctor out, and he turned around and entered the inner room.
At this time, Gu Yunjin was sitting at the table in a daze, and he didn't even notice that someone had come in.
Yue Liushao poured a cup of tea for her, and stood aside with her hands twisted uneasily, struggling for a long time before she cautiously asked tentatively, "Princess, how is the situation?" What did the doctor say? Are you pregnant? β
Gu Yunjin was silent, and drank tea with his eyes down with an uncertain expression.
Yue Liushao saw her like this, and guessed the result, and couldn't help but regret it in her heart, but she still smiled and comforted: "It's okay if you don't get pregnant for the time being, anyway, the days are long." β
After drinking a cup of tea, Gu Yunjin asked in a depressed voice, "What about the prince?" "Something has to be faced sooner or later.
"The prince got up early and went to the study, and now I don't know if I'm still there, so the slave sent someone to ask."
Who knew that Yue Liushao's words had just fallen, and he saw Dai Jinchao striding in.
"Yunjin, I heard that you invited a doctor over, how about it? Does it matter if you want your body? Dai Jinchao looked hurried, and asked with concern as soon as he came in.
Gu Yunjin's body stiffened suddenly, she didn't look at him, she didn't reply, she just involuntarily clenched the tea cup in her hand, her heart beat violently, full of uneasiness and fear about what happened next, and at the same time faintly with hope, she thought, Dai Jinchao is already twenty years old, and she should also want to be a father in her heart.
After Yue Liushao handed Dai Jinchao a cup of tea, he retreated to the outside room with a very eye-catching look.
"Yunjin, Yunjin, why don't you speak?" Dai Jinchao saw that Gu Yunjin had been silent, becoming more and more anxious, and couldn't help but hold her shoulders and keep asking.
"I'm pregnant."
Gu Yunjin's voice was neither light nor heavy, nor did it have any ups and downs, but in Dai Jinchao's ears, it was like a thunder bombardment, which roared in his head, his whole body trembled, his body took two steps back uncontrollably, the tea cup in his hand fell off instantly, and he fell to the ground with a piercing sound, and tea fragments splashed everywhere.
After the piercing sound, there was a deathly silence, and Dai Jinchao, whose face was pale, completely forgot to react, or did not know how to react.
After being silent for a long time, Gu Yunjin closed her eyes tightly in pain, and when she opened them again, with a look of determination and determination in her eyes, she stood up, looked straight at the man beside her who was completely stunned, and asked word by word clearly: "Child, to stay or not to stay." β
Dai Jinchao did not react in the slightest like a sculpture, his eyes were wide but not focused.
Gu Yunjin's already heavy heart fell even more, and he held his breath and asked again in an accentuated tone: "Child, to stay or not to stay." β
This time, Dai Jinchao finally relieved himself, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he trembled his lips and wanted to speak, but a simple word 'stay' seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't say it. Already lost once, he can't continue to be lost.
"Child, to stay or not to stay."
Gu Yunjin asked for the last time, and tears of despair fell along with the words, and this time, she almost screamed.
I don't know how long it took for Dai Jinchao to find his voice back, and he tried all his courage to say: "To stay or not, you can choose for yourself." After saying that, he staggered and fled.
"Dai Jinchao, I didn't expect you to be so cold-hearted."
Hearing this, Dai Jinchao's body that was about to escape from the door paused slightly, but after only a moment, he continued to flee.
At this moment, all Gu Yunjin's hopes were wiped out, all his persistence collapsed and was invisible, his body was limp and paralyzed on the ground, he forgot to cry, and his heart was empty and had nothing to rely on.
Dai Jinchao let her make her own choice, that is to say, whether to stay or not, he didn't care at all, and she, who laughed before that he would let him stay, was too naΓ―ve after all. After this incident, she finally realized clearly: as long as Meng Wanqing is there, she will never be the only person he cares about!
Yueliu Shaoshui Lianlian, who was guarding outside, heard the sound of porcelain breaking, although she was worried, she didn't dare to come in without permission, until she saw Dai Jinchao in a trance, unsteady and fleeing, and then hurriedly entered the room to check the situation.
"The princess!" Seeing the person sitting on the ground with empty eyes, the two were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Gu Yunjin wiped away his tears, stood up with the help of the hands of the two, only to feel weak and weak, walked to the bed step by step and sat down, and said in a low voice: "You guys go out, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while." β
"Princess Shizi, are you okay?" Looking at her state, how dare Yue Liushao leave easily, she has always felt that the princess is very fond of the princess, but why did she make the princess so sad today?
Gu Yunjin shook his head, physically and mentally exhausted, and seemed to have no strength to speak, so he gently lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
Yue Liushao and Shui Langlian glanced at each other worriedly, sighed deeply, and had no choice but to withdraw.
On this day, Dai Jinchao has not come back since he left, and he has not returned to his room to rest at night, and Gu Yunjin has been lying on the bed, no matter day or night, when she has not fallen asleep for a moment, she has thought a lot.
In the lonely night, the idea of harmony and separation officially appeared in Gu Yunjin's mind for the first time, because she couldn't bear this endless torture and suffering, she knew very well that no matter how deep her feelings were, they would eventually be wiped out bit by bit, even so, it was better to let go as soon as possible and get rid of it as soon as possible. But as soon as she thought of the child in her womb, her heart ached, and she couldn't make up her mind to kill this little life that had just appeared.
A glimmer of light appeared in the dark room, and a new day was coming.
At this time, there was a sudden faint sound outside, and then Gu Yunjin heard footsteps approaching her. It's still early, it can't be a maid......
Although he guessed that it was Dai Jinchao, Gu Yunjin didn't react, and still lay sideways face in, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.
Soon, the bed on her side collapsed, and at the same time, one arm wrapped around her waist, and the big palm caressed her abdomen for a long time. The familiar smell of the person beside him lingered on the tip of his nose, and Gu Yunjin suddenly felt a sour nose, and tears involuntarily overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
Perhaps for fear of waking her up, Dai Jinchao didn't stay long before leaving, and before leaving, he left a long kiss on her cheek.
Gu Yunjin only felt that his lips were as cold as ice, and the cold meaning penetrated his skin and reached the limbs, making her uncontrollably feel extremely uneasy.
Early in the morning, Yue Liushao and a few people came in to serve.
Gu Yunjin got up, but he felt lightheaded, his heart was stuffy, and even his breathing was much heavier than usual. After many days of tossing, her body has been in a state of excessive wear and tear, and if she continues like this, I am afraid that if she does not wait for her to take medicine to kill the child, the child will not be able to stay. Therefore, when eating breakfast, although the taste is like chewing wax and difficult to swallow, she still forced herself to eat some.
As soon as I finished breakfast, I saw Yun'er come in and said, "Princess, there is an old gentleman outside the door who asked to see him, and he said that the prince asked him to come." β
"Old gentleman?" Gu Yunjin was puzzled, "Did he say what he did?" β
Yun'er shook her head, "No, but the slave saw that he was carrying a small wooden box, looking like a doctor, maybe the prince saw that the princess was not in good health recently, so he specially invited him to treat the princess." β
Although he didn't know Dai Jinchao's intentions, as soon as he heard that it might be a doctor, Gu Yunjin couldn't help but become nervous, "Please let him in." β
The old gentleman was about sixty or seventy years old, his beard was white, his spirit looked very good, and his face was full of red light, but when he saw Gu Yunjin, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He has practiced healing and saving people all his life, and he never imagined that he would kill people with his own hands today, although it is a child who has just appeared, but in the end it is a life. But the prince of Nanling found him in person, and he couldn't help but agree, but he really wondered, this child should be the first child of the prince, right? Why knock it out? Moreover, when he looked at the look of the prince, he seemed to be extremely unbearable, which was really incomprehensible.
Waiting for the old gentleman to come in, Gu Yunjin waved his hand to let the maids retreat, looked at him and asked quietly, "May I ask what the old gentleman is looking for me?" β
The old gentleman sighed again, put the small wooden box in his hand on the table without saying a word, opened it, and slowly took out a bowl of black and red soup from it and put it in front of her.
Gu Yunjin stared at the strong-smelling decoction in front of him, the temperature on his body began to cool down little by little, and the uneasiness and fear in his heart spread rapidly, could he ...... She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she asked with bated breath, "What kind of medicine is this?" β
The old gentleman hesitated for a long time before he said in a low voice: "It was the abortion pill prepared by the prince, and the prince told the old man to take good care of the princess's body these days." β
And so it was! Gu Yunjin closed his eyes, tears poured out like a river bursting the embankment, it turned out that he had come to say his final goodbye to her and the child. She can't pull his heart, and neither can the child! That's it, since he has made a choice, why should she struggle, from now on, she and him will no longer have love-hate entanglements.
Gu Yunjin picked up the medicine bowl with his hands trembling slightly, his heart was already so painful that he was unconscious, only large tears rolled down into the decoction, and the two quickly merged into one.
The medicine bowl was brought to his mouth, and when Gu Yunjin was about to drink it, his eyes suddenly darkened, and the medicine bowl in his hand fell off suddenly, and then the whole person fell into a coma and fell directly on the table.
When Gu Yunjin woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed, with Princess Nanling, Dai Leyan and all the maids gathered in front of the bed.
"Wake up, wake up, the third sister-in-law is awake." As soon as he saw her open her eyes, Dai Leyan shouted excitedly.
Princess Nanling breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern, "Yunjin, how are you feeling now?" β
"Mother." Gu Yunjin screamed in a hoarse voice, and he was about to sit up.
Princess Nanling pressed her back to the bed and sighed, "If you are not in good health, lie down in peace." β
Dai Leyan frowned and said, "Third sister-in-law, why are you so sick so suddenly, I was scared to death when I heard the maid say that you fainted." However, don't be afraid, the third sister-in-law said, the doctor said, you just have an irregular diet and sleep that causes a lack of qi and blood, and you will be fine after a few days of rest. β
Seeing this scene, Gu Yunjin knew that the old gentleman did not reveal her pregnancy. She looked around the room, but didn't find the old gentleman, and asked calmly, "Where is the old gentleman?" β
Yue Liushao, who was standing at the end of the bed, replied: "The old gentleman prescribed a few medicines to the princess and left, saying that he would come back in a few days to give the princess a follow-up." β
"Medicine? What medicine? "Is it still an abortion pill? Gu Yunjin closed her eyes tiredly, but she also knew that it couldn't be an abortion pill, otherwise she wouldn't have opened a few pictures, and one pair would be enough.
Hearing her ask, Dai Leyan looked inexplicable, "What else can it be?" Of course, it's a cure for your illness. β
Although Princess Nanling didn't know that Gu Yunjin was pregnant, she still knew a little about the entanglement between Dai Jinchao, Gu Yunjin and Meng Wanqing, and knew that since she got married, Gu Yunjin had been uncomfortable in her heart, so she felt very sorry for her, especially when she saw her becoming thinner and thinner, she was even more distressed, and couldn't help but sigh and persuade: "Yunjin, I see that you have been depressed recently, why don't you go back to the General's Mansion for a few days, take a good break, and when you come back today, let him pick you up." β
"No need, mother, I'll recuperate for a few days, thank you, mother." Gu Yunjinqiang said with a smile. In her current state, how dare she go back to the General's Mansion? The Gu family will definitely soon find out about the unusual relationship between her and Dai Jinchao, and they are afraid that it will be embarrassing for both parties. This is a matter between her and Dai Jinchao, even if they want to end this marriage, it should be decided by the two of them, and they should not be interfered with by others.
"But it's really worrying to see you like this, maybe it will be better to go back to your parents' house for a few days." Princess Nanling continued to persuade.
Gu Yunjin pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth to ask: "Mother, I want to go out of the house tomorrow." β
Princess Nanling said softly: "It's not impossible to leave the mansion, it's just that you are very weak now, so let's wait and go again, and when you come back today, you can go together." β
Gu Yunjin didn't say anything anymore, only nodded slightly.
Dai Leyan couldn't bear her disappointment, and pleaded for her: "Mother, I think let's let the third sister-in-law go out, I always feel that the third sister-in-law is very unhappy, maybe it's good to go out and take a walk." β
Gu Yunjin hurriedly said: "It's okay, Le Yan, it's the same when you go out later." β
Unexpectedly, Princess Nanling said: "If you want to go, just pay attention to your safety when you go out, and call a few more people to follow." β
"Thank you, Princess." A faint smile appeared on Gu Yunjin's haggard face.
After Princess Nanling and Dai Leyan left, Gu Yunjin sat up and asked Yueliushao: "Where did the prince go?" "Listening to Princess Nanling, it seems that Dai Jinchao will not be able to come back in a few days.
Yueliu Shao served her and replied: "The imperial court sent the uncle to lead the troops to Xishan to suppress the bandits, and the prince went with him, but I am afraid that it will take three or five days to come back." β
Gu Yunjin had also heard about this before, the bandits around the Xishan outside Shengjing City were rampant and ferocious, killing people for money, robbing people's daughters, doing all kinds of evil, making the people feel different and hateful, and the court sent troops to suppress and kill for the people, but Dai Jinchao didn't plan to go before, and suddenly decided to go today, I'm afraid I don't want to face her, let alone face the scene of his child's death.
Before dinner, Yue Liushao brought a decoction, Gu Yunjin drank it without a trace of hesitation, his body is his own, and he should not cherish it no matter what. (To be continued.) )
