Chapter 10: Loyalty
Xiyan didn't know how he got out of the palace gate, how he got into the carriage, and it was like a dream. Ming Yunheng said that he asked the Queen Mother to marry, why did this effort turn into marrying her to Li Xuan?
In fact, Chunxue was not very happy in her heart, seeing that the Queen Mother was going to marry Gege to the prince as a side blessing, and hearing that Yunheng Baylor had been appointed to marry, she thought about Gege for a while, and she also felt so sad that she was going to die. Seeing that Xi Xi's face was like ashes along the way, she didn't say a word, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it for a while.
"Gege," she said worriedly, "Queen Mother, she ......."
"I promised." Xiyan didn't wait for her to finish asking, and replied lightly.
Chunxue was stunned, she naturally knew what it meant. What about Yoon Heng Baylor? What about Gege's own mind?
Xiyan smiled miserably at her. "Actually, that's not bad, is it?"
"Gege......" Chunxue didn't know what to say to comfort her.
returned to the palace in such a daze, and Xiyan never said a word again. It's just that when she got out of the carriage, her legs were weak and she almost fell to her knees, but fortunately, Chun Xue quickly helped her.
"Gege," Chunxue said with a crying voice, "You can bear with it anymore, and you will go back...... I went back to the house and ...... again ...... again" she can't say, what? Actually, you can't change anything.
Xiyan smiled gloomily, afraid that she was holding her hand. "I'm fine, don't cry."
Chunxue felt even more sad in her heart. Gege has always treated people very well, but at this time, I was afraid that she would be worried. I was thinking about it in my heart, but I saw Xiyan suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground.
At this time, Li Xuan and Ning Ruo were coming out of Lao Fujin's room, and they had also received the news that Yun Heng was assigned to marry, and they were worried that Xiyan would find it difficult to accept. I can't help but speculate in my heart, maybe the Queen Mother let her enter the palace because of this, right?
"Lord Wang, Fujin, please save Gege!" When Chunxue saw them coming, she knelt on the ground and cried and kowtowed like seeing a savior.
Li Xuan looked at the blood stains on the ground, only to feel as if he had been punched in the chest, and suddenly he couldn't breathe, and he didn't have time to ask carefully, so he hurriedly hugged Xiyan. "Hurry up and get a doctor." All the way to the Morning and Evening Pavilion.
On the eve of Yan, he always pestered him to hug her and carry her, which was really annoying at that time, and he often laughed at her for eating too much, her body was heavy, and she was not as light as Ning Ruo. But in fact, she is not fat at all, but now, she is thinner than when she was a child.
The imperial doctor also came quickly, and because he often came to the house to see a doctor, he could also trust it.
"Imperial Doctor Lin, what's the matter with her suddenly vomiting blood?" Xiyan's face was not bloody, and even her lips were pale. Li Xuan suddenly found that this was the first time he had looked at her so seriously since the reunion - even the last time King Su's birthday banquet was just a glimpse. She grew up and became more beautiful, only never to smile so heartily again.
"Gege thinks too much, gets stuck in his heart, and hurts his heart and spleen......"
He listened, and he was in a trance. If it weren't for the fact that Xi Yan was really lying lifeless in front of him now, he would probably be able to laugh out loud when he heard this imperial doctor speak. Can this heartless and lungless personality still worry too much and be depressed?
Of course, they will not understand.
It's been almost ten years, from the palace, to the Wen mansion, and back to the palace. She was just a helpless orphan under the fence. She knew she had no right to complain about anything, and besides, all this tossing and turning was just for her good. Everyone says that Xiyan is innocent, lively and cheerful, but who knows how many sleepless nights and how many soaked pillows are behind this free and easy? Especially when she broke into the palace and broke into the catastrophe, she indirectly harmed the lives of several people, and she blamed herself and felt guilty more than a thousand times. Xiyan is very lazy, she doesn't want to think about many things, but she is afraid that she won't be able to help herself when she thinks about it. In front of people, she is always happy, and after pretending to be for a long time, she even deceived herself. The Queen Mother's words did hurt her, but they were far from being so depressed that she vomited blood, and it was just a reason after all. Maybe after years of pretending to be happy, she is really tired. All along, the only thing she still thinks about is to have a home of her own, a family of her own, and a place that will not drive her away again. Why Li Xuan? Why does it have to be Li Xuan, who hates her and despises her? She suddenly felt a little resentful: when E-Niang was martyred at that time, why didn't she take her with her? It's really hard to get through these days......
Imperial Doctor Lin prescribed some medicines, but he also repeatedly emphasized that Xiyan's disease was a heart disease, and he still had to relax his mind in order to recover.
Lao Fujin also rushed to hear the news, sitting at the head of Xiyan's bed and wiping his tears in distress, Ning Ruo was soft-hearted, and he couldn't see others suffering, and his eyes were swollen from crying at this time.
Li Xuan took advantage of this moment to hurriedly call Chunxue aside: "What did the Queen Mother say to Gege?" His face was gloomy, and Chunxue couldn't help but be a little scared.
Chunxue glanced at Fu Jin, who was still beside the bed, and hesitated. "The Queen Mother sued Emperor SΓΉ Gege for Yun Heng Baylor to marry."
Really. Li Xuan's expression darkened.
"And, there's ......" she glanced uneasily at the head of the bed again.
Li Xuan understood, and took her out of the door before asking, "What else did you say?" β
"The Queen Mother thought...... I want to ...... Gege" She looked at him, not daring to continue.
"Say." Li Xuan's face was cold.
"Put it off...... To the prince. She glanced at Li Xuan in fear. She saw that Li Xuan's face was not good, and she was afraid that Li Xuan would think that Xiyan was still greedy for him, so she hurriedly explained. "But Gege refused at the time!" Although I had to say yes in the end, Gege also tried, didn't he?
Li Xuan was stunned. For a while, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I couldn't say whether I was sad or happy.
"It's just...... It's just ......" Chunxue couldn't think of how to say the rest of the words for a while.
"Just what?" He asked.
"The Queen Mother asked the slaves and maids to retreat." She whispered, "It was only later that I heard Gege say that the slave maid knew ......."
Li Xuan raised her eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.
Chunxue gritted her teeth. "Although Gege refused to marry the prince at first, he ...... But in the end...... I still agreed. β
He wasn't surprised. Xiyan is stubborn, but is she stronger than the Queen Mother? He looked at the pine tree in the yard and asked lightly, "Do you know that Yun Heng is accused of marriage...... She's sad, isn't she? β
"Hmm." Chunxue's expression darkened. Gege was sad, wasn't she sad that she was kneeling on the ground in a daze?
That's why it's so desperate. He suddenly felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe: Xiyan, you ...... Do you like him so much?
@@@@@@@@
"Li Xuan, why are you so anxious to see the mourning family?" Knowing that the Queen Mother intended to give him Xiyan, Li Xuan did not delay for a moment, and left for the palace.
In terms of generation, he is the same generation as the emperor, but he is more than ten years younger than the emperor, and his age is not much different from that of many princes. Moreover, he has been steady and gentle since he was a child, and the Queen Mother watched him grow up, so she was naturally very kind. Now that he has entered the palace so late, he already understands in his heart that he already knows about giving him Xiyan.
"The minister can't marry Xiyan Gege, and beg the queen mother to take back her life."
The Queen Mother's face changed. Something that she thinks is good for everyone, why is it that they run into walls everywhere?!
"What, isn't Xiyan still worthy of you?" She asked expressionlessly.
"No, Xiyan is very good, it is precisely because of this that the minister thinks that the position of Fujin on the side is really wronged by her."
"What do you think is the matter?" The Queen Mother smiled disapprovingly. "You're too presumptuous. A dignified prince, willing to marry her as a side blessing, that is her blessing. β
"The Queen Mother, when the minister and Ning Ruo got married, she promised never to accept a concubine. The minister didn't want to treat Xiyan badly, and he didn't want to live up to Ning Ruo. β
"How did the joke count at that time? I'd rather not bother with you. The Queen Mother frowned. When do you still have to worry about this? Which man can't say it, one just says it, and the other just listens to it, who really believes it? If you are as smart as Ningruo, you will naturally not take it seriously.
"What the minister said at the time, every sentence is sincere, even now, the minister's mind has not changed."
"Ridiculous!" The Queen Mother scolded, "Ning Ruo has not come out yet, if she really can't give birth, will the Rui Wangfu be ruined by you?" β
"Ning Ruo has been conditioning his body all the time, I believe ...... It is only a matter of time before you believe in an heir. His heart was horizontal, "Even if you really can't get your wish, it is the fate of the minister, and there is no one else!" β
"You...... You ......" The Queen Mother was so angry that she pointed at him and was speechless. "You...... What is this saying! How can you be worthy of your ancestors and ancestors! β
"Ask the Queen Mother to be fulfilled." Li Xuan knelt on the ground and lowered his eyes and said.
"Okay, well, you've all grown up." The Queen Mother laughed angrily. "There's no need for the mourners to plan for you. Okay, the mourning family will fulfill you today. Only one - "The Queen Mother looked at him." "I hope you don't regret it in the future."
"Chancellor will never regret it."
Coming out of Cining Palace, Li Xuan only felt that his back was wet with sweat, and a breeze blew, and he couldn't help but shiver. Just now in front of the Queen Mother, he was not afraid. Li Xuan looked back at the palace behind him again, the Queen Mother was really angry with him this time. But what can be done? This was the only thing he could do for her.
