On a summer night, filled with warm air, a bright moon hung in the sky, and occasionally light clouds blew by, appearing foggy, knowing the tireless chirping in the trees, adding a touch of irritability to the originally sultry weather.

In the quiet bedroom, Qin Yuan sat alone beside Qing Cang, and now Qing Cang was still unconscious, like a pool of stagnant water in the dark night, stagnant and unable to make any waves, everything around him had nothing to do with him, he was like a rotten wood, lying on the bed silently.

Qin Yuan raised her hand and stroked Qing Cang's face, her eyes were full of sadness, and she said to Qing Cang with a wry smile, "You never liked the sound of this cicada, but now you are hiding cleanly, but you have taken care of my thoughts?" Then he picked up the jade fan on the side and gently fanned Qingcang, "The imperial doctor said that if you lie like this for a long time, you will have a heat rash, if you wake up, why should I have to bother so much." ”

Suddenly, I heard that the window was suddenly forcibly pushed open, and I saw Yuru breaking through the window with a sword in her hand, protecting Qin Yuan with a murderous aura, this action suddenly startled Qin Yuan, and asked nervously, "Yuru, is something wrong?" Yuru's face was solemn and serious, and she said indifferently, "There seems to be something going on in the front hall of the mansion, Ran Shuang and Zhang Dehai were called for questioning, and the subordinates kept vigil alone and saw someone sneaking into the bedroom. ”

These words made Qin Yuan more and more nervous, and she looked at Qing Cang on the bed with worry, and then the bedroom door was gently pushed open, and she saw Qing Yu slowly walking in a black night suit, Yuru smiled indifferently, "Prince Mu can get up and walk around now after receiving a slap, and he is worthy of being a martial arts master." ”

Qingyu smiled lightly, turned his gaze to Qin Yuan, and looked at Qin Yuan with a round and bulging belly, sitting there quietly and looking at himself indifferently, the affectionate look of the past was long gone.

Qin Yuan saw that this person was Qing Cang, his face was extremely indifferent for a while, he picked up the jade fan and continued to fan Qing Cang, and then said softly to Yu Ru, "You go out first." Yuru looked at Qingyu angrily, standing in place and refusing to leave, and then Qin Yuan said, "Don't worry, Prince Mu won't act rashly." Yuru then put away her sword and jumped out of the window in response.

Qin Yuan still gently fanned the jade fan, ignoring Qingyu's meaning at all, Qingyu's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of perseverance flashed in his eyes, "Yuan'er, come with me!" After hearing this, the jade fan in Qin Yuan's hand suddenly paused, then smiled indifferently and continued to shake, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go to a place where no one can hinder us and live the life we want, I have arranged everything, we can go to Dongli."

Qin Yuan flashed a chuckle in an instant, "Are you going to commit treason?" I don't. Qingyu said urgently, "As long as we are together, why care about the premises, Yuan'er, now that the emperor is seriously injured, now is the best opportunity." Qin Yuan didn't think about it, and said resolutely, "I'm not going, I'm going to stay with the emperor." ”

Qingyu didn't believe his ears for a while, and blurted out suspiciously, "What? Qingyu couldn't help but be suspicious, but it had only been more than two months, Qin Yuan could refuse herself so indifferently, and without a trace of attachment and urgency, what happened during this period?

Qin Yuan then put down the jade fan, turned her head to look at Qingyu, her face was indifferent, and she said in a flat tone, "Didn't you hear clearly?" Then I'll say it again, I won't go with you, I want to stay, I want to go back to the palace with the emperor. ”

Qingyu looked at Qin Yuan inexplicably at this time, with a hint of undercurrent in his eyes, and said excitedly, "You tried your best to go back to the house, just to escape from the place that annoyed you, why do you want to go back!" ”

"Yes, I used to hate the palace, but now I've changed my mind, can't I?"

"For what! You don't love him! You love me! Why do you want to do this? ”

"Because he saved my life."

Facing Qingyu's excited roar, Qin Yuan replied indifferently, "It's all because of me that the emperor is unconscious now, I can't just abandon him." ”

"Qin Yuan, you can't give up your happiness because of guilt, our chance to be together in this life may be this time, do you want to give up on me and happiness for a moment of guilt? You'll regret it! No, I have to take you away today! ”

Qingyu excitedly pulled up Qin Yuan and walked out, how did he know that Qin Yuan shook it off hard, and angrily refused, "Let go of me, I won't go with you!" If I leave with you today, I will have regrets! I've lost you because of a moment of confusion, and I've already tasted regret, so I can't go with you. ”

Qingyu looked at Qin Yuan in surprise, when he came, he had guessed that Qin Yuan would reject him for various reasons, but he never expected that now Qin Yuan's reason for rejecting him would be Qingcang, Qingyu said sadly, "For what? ”

"Qingyu, I admit that I lost you, if I could have been brave, everything would have been a different scene, but now that you have married a wife and concubine, I am pregnant and a concubine, we can't go back, I definitely stay by the emperor's side, not because of guilt, but at the moment when the emperor put a crotch sword for me, I found that I already liked the emperor!"

At the end of the words, Qingyu was surprised like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, his pupils dilated and looked at Qin Yuan questioningly, Qin Yuan then smiled faintly and said, "Maybe my love for the emperor is not as deep as my love for you, and I also know what life is like once I return to the palace, but I still choose to stay by the emperor's side, because my child is born, and I always want to call the emperor as my father, and my eagerness at the moment is enough to explain everything, he can risk his life for me, so I can't leave him." ”

"I can too! I can even give up power for you! Abandon status! I don't want anything for you, I just want you! ”

Qin Yuan smiled indifferently, "Qingyu, the price to pay for being with you is too great, you and I have similar personalities, even if we don't speak together, we know what the other party thinks, but do you know what the other party thinks?" Similar people are suitable for laughing together, complementary talents are suitable for growing old together, the emperor and I are complementary people, Qingyu, please respect my choice. ”。 Qing Cang said indignantly, "Are you sure you really want to do it?" ”

"Yes."

"Even if I want to take his country, will I not hesitate to take his life?"

Qin Yuan was taken aback, looked at Qingyu with a fierce look in her eyes, and then said firmly, "Yes." ”

Qingyu couldn't say any more, his throat was like a fish bone, choked, at this moment, Qingyu's heart collapsed instantly, an irresistible grief broke his heart, he clenched his fists and looked at Qingcang with extreme resentment, and said sonorously, "Qin Yuan, I will do whatever it takes to let you return to me." Then he turned decisively, jumped on the window frame, and disappeared into the night.

Qin Yuan looked at the direction where Qingyu disappeared, instantly like a deflated ball, slumped on the bed, slowly turned her head to look at the unconscious Qingcang, a line of tears ran down her cheeks, God knows how much she struggled in her heart, if it was in the past, maybe she would hesitate to avoid returning to the palace, but now she can't, Qingcang saved her and the child regardless of her life, how could she abandon Qingcang, and the smile that Qingcang failed to show before she fell unconscious, has already formed a wound in Qin Yuan's heart.

At this time, Zhang Dehai ran in eagerly and said in a panic, "Master, it's not good, the frost was beaten by the eldest lady." Qin Yuan was shocked when she heard this, "What? Haven't you been called into the antechamber for questioning? How can the cream be beaten? What the hell is going on? ”

The face of Qin Yuan interrogated layer by layer, Zhang Dehai swallowed and spat and said slowly, "The second lady found out tonight that the eldest lady put saffron in your master's meal, but the eldest lady refused to admit it, saying that she was wronged, so she called the slave and Dye Frost to go for questioning, the second lady put the pile of evidence in front of her, the eldest lady was speechless, Dye Frost was angry and scolded the eldest lady a few words, who knew that the eldest lady actually started to dye the frost." ”

Qin Yuan suddenly remembered that a few days ago, she sent a message to the second lady and gave the second lady a five-day deadline, it seems that most of this matter was done by the second lady.

Qin Yuan heard that she had been beaten by someone, and she was very angry for a while, and roared in a low voice, "Presumptuous! Even the concubine's people dare to move, ask Yuru to take care of the emperor here, you go to the front hall with the concubine, the concubine wants to see how powerful this Cao Mansion concubine is! ”
