Qiwen knew that once she spoke, she would definitely burst into tears, and she wanted to hug him unscrupulously and cry: I don't want to leave at all! Although I am also looking forward to having a child for you, in this situation, who knows how long and when I will be gone, I will be able to see you again, or even see you again? I want to stay by your side at all times, and I want to die with you!

She knew she shouldn't let him see her tears now, so she could only hold back as hard as she could.

After lying down for a long time before falling asleep in a daze, she seemed to hear a long sigh from him in the haze, and Qiwen woke up again. Seeing that the emperor was still sitting with her back against the stacked mattresses, she leaned forward and rested her head on his lap, her nose soured violently, and she gritted her teeth and endured it with all her might, not daring to make a sound.

"You know, I'm never a guy who says nice things on purpose." He spoke up, his tone calm and soothing, "Even if it's a good thing, I often have to say the worst. Otherwise, how could it be so unpopular in the first place? The current situation is not good at all, and I can't say anything good. However, we have nothing to talk about between us, and it is better to have one thing to say. ”

After saying these seemingly meaningless words, he gently stroked Qiwen's long hair, and his bright eyes were full of love, "I won't say some false words to comfort you, tomorrow's farewell, whether we will meet in the future, I am not sure at all." If there is a case in the future, you will hear bad news in the capital......"

"I know." Qiwen couldn't hold back her voice and interrupted him, "For the sake of our children, I must live well, and I must live for you...... Raise him. ”

"What? That's not what I'm talking about. He laughed a little, and gently pulled her face in his hand, and looked at her deeply, "I have spoken clearly today, I want you to remember that if something happens to me, I naturally want you to live, but I don't want you to live hard for any responsibility." If you want to live, you can live, if you don't want to live, don't live, don't wronged yourself for any children and responsibilities. ”

He raised his gaze and sighed softly, "Sometimes it's much easier to die than to live in pain." I've already experienced how hard it is to live rather than die, and I don't want you to forbid it. Unless you can put it down, I might as well let you come to me. ”

He actually said such a bizarre statement, Qiwen stared at him blankly for a while, and before she knew it, her vision was blurred by the water.

Of course he hopes that he will have a future, and of course he hopes that even if he is gone, there will still be someone who can take on the responsibility of raising his children and grandchildren for him, and even shoulder the burden of saving Dayan. But he could not bear to leave this burden to her, even if he knew that she could do it.

Qiwen stood up and hugged him tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Met with him, fell in love, knew each other, until today pregnant with his child, should be the happiest time, but faced with the separation that may be a farewell, she has mixed feelings in her heart, on the one hand, she feels that her life is so hard, God is so unfair, seeing that they love each other so much, they don't leave them a few days of peace, on the other hand, they feel so relieved, so happy, for this life to have the opportunity to meet him, and he is very grateful for a vigorous love, and feel that even if it is a flash in the pan, it is better than a mediocre life.

The Emperor patted her on the back and was silent for a while, "However, if you decide not to live at that time, you must make sure that the information you get is reliable." In times of turmoil, there are a lot of false rumors, if you hear that I am dead, you will go to seek death, and I will go back to the capital again, then you will be too sorry for me. ”

Qiwen sneered, and her feelings were stirred up by him, and she punched him in the chest with tears on her face and said: "You are also going to be a father, and you are still the honor of the ninety-five, and you are still so unspeakable to four or six!" ”

The emperor laughed for a while, then raised his eyebrows and sighed: "It's at such a time, and I don't know when your canonization ceremony will be delayed." ”

Qiwen took the handkerchief and wiped her tears and said: "I have heard that the canonization ceremony is cumbersome and tiring, and it will make people's backaches and backaches just by wearing a body, so it is just right not to do it." ”

The emperor pinched the tip of her nose with hatred: "Why are you so indifferent?" Where is it like a person who monopolizes the grace? Sure enough, it's not promising. ”

Qiwen's love has improved greatly, and she smiled slightly and said: "Don't you see it, the more indifferent people are, the more blessed they are!" ”

A simple self-ridicule sentence touched the emperor, he was stunned, shook her hand and sighed: "That's right, you are a blessed person, so I followed you to get naked." ”

Qiwen was still unaware of why, but he was pulled into his arms, and he listened to him blowing a warm breeze in his ear: "You don't know, I have been annoying since I was a child, so that I decided in my heart early that I was born an ominous person, and I am destined to have no good luck in this life, and I can't meet any nobles, so I can only live alone and lonely for a lifetime, and I am likely to end up bad." What kind of girl who is happy with each other, what kind of flesh and blood of my own children and grandchildren, I have long had no hope, but ......"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice trembled again, "With you, it's not the same." You are not only my lucky star, but also my savior, you look at you, how much blessing and good luck have you given me? Qiwen, although my words just now were ugly, I was actually not so depressed. I already knew that with you, I wouldn't be so unlucky! God will also leave me a way to live, let me come back safely, and join hands with you to grow old! ”

Qiwen couldn't cry anymore, and sobbed: "That's right, we must not be so unlucky, and we must have decades of good life to live together." ”

You are his savior, and if you give up on him, he will only die - the voice that was once blurred in the depths of his memory rings in his ears again. Maybe it wasn't an illusion, it was really a verse spoken to her by a god in the dark.

Maybe it's true, I'm really his savior, with me, he can save the day, and he can stay with me for life.

"Don't take any risks, don't do things you're not sure about. We still have a long life, I will work hard for this when I go back, and you have to ...... You have to work hard, too! ”

"Yes, definitely." He kissed the top of her faintly scented hair, and his heart was extremely quiet for a moment.

Speaking of which, when Qiwen was sent to the carriage on the road the next day, when the two looked at each other, their hearts were calm, and there was no sorrow or regret left.

It seems that what is in front of him is not a life and death parting, but just a small farewell in the main hall of Longxi Pavilion in the past, he went to the court, and she stayed to wait for him to come back for dinner, so simple and peaceful......

Now that the armies of the two routes are blocking the way south of the peace army, it is not difficult to ensure that there are no enemy troops to bypass and disturb the south of Linming. Commander Qiu led the troops to escort Concubine Chen back to Beijing, this task was not difficult to complete, but there was a small trouble on the way.

The emperor did not bring a palace maid with him this time, and he couldn't find a suitable person to serve her on the way back to send Qiwen back, and the mother who was pregnant with the first imperial heir was so noble, and it was impractical to temporarily recruit a servant woman to serve halfway. Fortunately, Concubine Zhao Chen, who was pregnant, was alive and well, and generously said that she didn't need to be served, and it seemed that she really didn't need to be served.

So the group escorted a woman's strange form shì south to return to Beijing with two thousand and one sturdy men. Strictly speaking, the emperor still sent a eunuch to accompany him, but Qiwen himself couldn't stand the eunuch's service, so he only sent him to do some errands to pass on the word.

Originally, when Qiwen came, she alternated between riding a horse and riding a car, but when she went back, she took the whole car because of the "preferential treatment", which made her even more guilty. Riding on this dangling carriage on the country road, Qiwen was dizzy all day long, and the food she ate couldn't withstand vomiting.

Lord Qiu deliberately slowed down the trip, but Qiwen resolutely said: I must hurry as much as possible, the more I delay, the more uncomfortable I am, and I must die on the road if I drag it for a long time!

Lord Qiu thought that this was the meaning of Concubine Chen's mother, who was worried about the safety of the saint and was anxious to return to Beijing before letting them return to escort. I couldn't help shaking my head and sighing: Niangniang and Jinshang are really in love!

Fortunately, the journey was not very far, and under Qiwen's repeated urging, the group hurried away, and came to the outside of Jingshi City on the morning of the ninth day of departure.

The Anding Gate of the north city wall is one of the cleaner gates, so it was chosen by Master Qiu as the passage into the city today. And when the team drove outside the Anding Gate, they encountered a change that was not big or small.

When she arrived at the suburbs of the capital, the road was much easier, and Qiwen didn't get motion sickness in the past two days, and she was leaning on the car and falling asleep at this time, and she felt that the carriage had stopped, and she woke up.

Vaguely heard Qiu Yu in front of him as if he was negotiating a few words with someone, and then there was the sound of horses' hooves turning back Recently, Qiwen knew that something was wrong in front of her, and first asked through the curtain of the car: "Lord Qiu, I don't know what happened?" ”

Qiu Yu's voice was a little embarrassed: "Yu Niangniang, is it ...... His Royal Highness the King of Tan came to greet him. ”

Coming to greet you? Qiwen's heart trembled when she heard this, and then she sneered.

Before coming back, the emperor clearly told her that now she is nominally in charge of the Yuan Ying State, although she has no real power, at least on the surface, the affairs inside and outside the capital are supervised by Yuan Ying. He had to repair a letter and solemnly inform Yuan Ying that she was pregnant and escorted back to Beijing, so that Yuan Ying could "take care of it on his behalf".

But this is obviously just a formality, Qiwen has returned to her palace, and there will naturally be someone around to take care of her, and it is impossible to really need King Tan to take care of her in person, let alone as soon as she arrives outside the gate of the capital, he will run to greet her in person.

How can there be a reason for the emperor's concubines to return to Beijing and a vassal prince to greet them?

Qiwen understands very well that he welcomes her here in person, just to take the opportunity to give her a dismount and remind her: You are back in a territory where there is no second brother but I am, you better be careful, don't fall into my hands!

"Drive the car over, I'm going to thank the prince personally!" Qiwen raised her voice and commanded.

Qiu Yu was stunned: "Niangniang, the prince did not say anything to ask Niangniang to show up." ”

Even if the news has been blocked to a certain extent, at least people inside and outside the court know about the knot between this Niangniang and the third prince, and the relationship between the two of them is delicate and sensitive enough. This matter is a bit of a big fuss, and Qiu Yu is not sure whether he will be held accountable if he will be known by Jinshang in the future.

"Master Qiu doesn't have to worry too much, whatever you say in the future and today, I will be responsible alone." Qiwen said without leaving any room - when I came to this level, wouldn't it make him think that I was weak and timid, and I didn't dare to see him? It's not me who has done something wrong!

The suburbs of Beijing in March are the season of splendid spring, and the suburbs are full of peach and willow green, full of vitality. Because it was prepared for the entry and exit of the victorious army, the part of this official road extending to the outside of Anding Gate was built to be extraordinarily wide and smooth, almost a long square.

King Tan was dressed in a smoky blue regular clothes, with a jade crown in his hair, and the stone blue silk tied around his waist was still decorated with the Pisces white jade jue that never left his body, and he was still riding the white horse with a silver saddle and silver bridle in his □□, except for the slightly solemn expression on his face, and the usual smile was missing, he looked almost no different from the first time he saw him outside Fuchengmen on July 16 last year.

He waited in the middle of the clean and uninhabited road with a few six followers, and watched the carriage that was crowded in the middle of Yu Linwei rush past everyone and stopped, and knew that she must have something to say, he turned his head and gave Changshi Zhong Zheng a look, and Zhong Zheng led the remaining five followers to drive their horses away.

The king of Tan himself carried the reins to the front of the car, but unexpectedly saw that the eunuch who was driving the car actually raised his hand to open the curtain of the apricot yellow brocade embroidered ingots horizontally, revealing the brocade woman in the car, and the face of the king of Tan couldn't help but show surprise.

Although it is clean here, after all, it is a suburban place, there is no martial law at this time, and it is always inappropriate for Qiwen to get out of the car, so she bowed hastily in the car, and said calmly: "There is a prince of Lao to greet him, and the concubine is flattered, so I thank you." ”

King Tan responded in the same plain tone: "Niangniang's words are serious, Concubine Chen's mother is pregnant with a dragon heir and returns to the palace to give birth, which is a major event in the world. ”

The last time they spoke to each other was in Tanwangfu, and after more than three months, the tone and mentality of both sides were completely different.

The light in the car is not very bright, but it is enough to see her appearance clearly from a distance of more than ten steps. She has completely changed into a noble lady's dress, just because the filial piety period has just passed, wearing a light color of lotus root embroidered lake satin gown, and only a simple hairpin on her head is a silver phoenix, compared with the previous palace maid dress, adding a little charm. The complexion also seems to be excellent, and the depressed state when he was taken back to the high pavilion of the palace prisoner has been judged by the two of them.

King Tan looked at her without hesitation, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Qiwen only showed her face to show her attitude, and almost didn't raise her eyes to look at him, so she signaled to the eunuch, put down the curtain, and said behind the curtain: "Please forgive the concubine for being rude, and she will go back to the palace." The prince is busy with official business, so there is no need to send him off. ”

King Tan didn't insist, and urged the horse to retreat a few steps to the side: "It's okay, take care of your mother." ”

Qiu Yu saluted the king of Tan and said goodbye, and then ordered the team to continue to march towards the open Anding Gate.

At that moment, although the Yulin guards present and the six Tan King Suihu did not have the opportunity to see Concubine Chen's demeanor in person, they all witnessed what happened. I was muttering faintly in my heart about this matter, and I couldn't figure out what these two masters meant.

But anyone who is not very dull in his mind can perceive the few back-and-forth conversations between the two of them, not to mention the slightest ambiguity, but more like a tense and imminent hostility. Especially Concubine Chen, it was as if she wanted to pounce and stab the third prince to death directly......

How could these two have such hatred? The soldiers who didn't know the inside story were all puzzled.

Qiwen sat in the slightly swaying carriage, with a faint anger rolling in her heart, and she really couldn't suppress it.

remembered that before coming back, the emperor had instructed her: "He has no real power, to put it bluntly, it's just an ornament, you can go back to the palace with peace of mind, don't worry about him." ”

Qiwen pouted and smiled at that time and asked, "Are you afraid that I will bully your brother while you are away?" ”

The emperor smiled bitterly and did not answer, in fact, it was already a tacit acquiescence. In his eyes, she and King Tan are hostile to each other, and they are bound to catch each other and want to find fault and kill each other at any time, but it is more like her than King Tan. He may have worried that in his absence, she would kill King Tan first.

Judging from the current situation, King Tan has no real power at all, and the only thing he can drive is the guards in the palace, and even if the rest of the people still have the heart to help him, they need to avoid suspicion at this moment when the wind is tight, and they dare not go around with him.

The emperor did not explicitly order that he was not allowed to kill King Tan, but he clearly asked Qian Yuanhe to lead a group of subordinates in Dongchang to obey Qiwen's words. Therefore, if she really has the heart to be ruthless, she does have the ability to do it. It's just that Qiwen didn't bother to deal with him before, so she only regarded the emperor's concerns as a joke.

Thinking about it now, Qiwen can't help but be angry, haven't you seen this matter very clearly today? Where did that guy have the kind of tolerance he thought? Obviously, that girl is more cheap, and she has more heart to find fault! To deal with this kind of slut, you just shouldn't be merciful! It's just like stabbing that Japanese officer!

Knowing that she is currently hormonally imbalanced, Qiwen tries her best to calm herself down and not be angry with that slut. The emperor is not here, and it always has a bad impact on her doing something in the nest privately, so she can only think about it. I hope that girl has self-knowledge, and doesn't come to provoke her with any more moths.

"It's still the same......

The spring breeze gusted, looking at the carriage and horses entering the city gate, gradually disappearing from view, the king of Tan who was riding on the white horse suddenly laughed "sneered", and said to Zhong Zheng beside him, "Look, she actually thinks I am here to demonstrate to her." ”

Zhong Changshi was a little stunned, in the past, the prince had a smile on his face almost at any time, but since that incident, although the prince has not been sad, he really hasn't smiled for a long time.

At this time, seeing that the prince was smiling, he could only smile stiffly, not knowing what to add. Isn't it a demonstration? It's not a demonstration, so what?

Seeing his reaction, King Tan felt a kind of loneliness and helplessness that he didn't understand, sighed secretly, and said to himself: "Where am I so bored? I just want to take the opportunity to meet her. After all, opportunities come true. ”

The stunned Zhong Zheng was even more stunned after hearing this, he originally regarded himself as the person who knew the prince best in the world, but recently he felt that he couldn't understand the prince more and more. Could it be that the prince is really moved by that lady?

This thing was believed to be true by many people, Zhong Zheng originally scoffed and never believed it, but now he is also a little puzzled. The prince seems to be approachable, but in fact, he never has a heart-to-heart with anyone, and there is no one in the world who can be regarded as understanding him.

For example, Wang Ye is a person who is very easy to like the new and hate the old, and the degree of clothing plus dog and horse playthings are frequently renewed, but he has always worn that Pisces white jade jue with him for many years, and no one knows why.
