440: The Price of Motherhood

When a mother gives birth to a baby, she runs the risk of losing her good figure.

People who have never been pregnant themselves simply do not understand how difficult it is to be pregnant.

There are also many risks.

Like what...

The first thing to face is the risk of being out of shape.

As the old saying goes, this woman gives birth to a child and walks away from the ghost gate, risking her life.

Cut these first, don't mention,

In fact, there is also a very real problem.

If your husband is a worry-free, considerate person, knows how to take care of your mind everywhere, and does not mess with flowers and grass outside, then you can still raise the baby with peace of mind.

But if it's the exact opposite....

I don't know how bad it will be.

After all, many men are a species that thinks in the second half of their lives, especially in ancient times when men were inferior to women, and men could have three wives and four concubines.

I don't know what Mu Xue thought of, she looked at the man squatting in front of her, and there was a casual smile on the corner of her mouth.

seems to be sure that she shouldn't worry about this, Ah Li's love for her is clear to the point where she can give up her glory and life, how can she do something that makes her feel uneasy when she is pregnant.

Although Nangong Li lowered her head and was wiping her body reverently, she could feel the change in her mood.

I saw him raise his head and say in a serious tone: "No matter how stubborn this scar is, Ah Li won't be disgusted anyway, but Xiao Xue'er still wants to be beautiful, and when you go back, Ah Li will let the doctor from the Tai Hospital dispense the best medicine for you, okay?" ”

Mu Xue nodded in agreement.

However, as for whose medicine to use, Mu Xue felt that it was better to be cautious.

"I've been busy these days, and when I'm free, I'll prepare the medicine myself, and Ah Li will help me apply it when the time comes, okay?"

"Okay."

After leaving the Huayu Pavilion and returning to the room, Nangong Li pressed Mu Xue on the bed to rest.

Mu Xue saw that he seemed to be about to change his clothes, and got up after him.

"Are you going to enter the palace in the middle of the night?"

Actually, it wasn't in the middle of the night, but it was already past the time to get the key.

"Well, don't worry, I'll go into the palace to remind my father."

In fact, Nangong Li and Mu Xue wanted to be on the safe side, after all, the emperor's meals were served to the emperor after the palace people had tasted the dishes, and it was not very possible to say that they would do anything in the meal.

However, many of the food and medicinal food imported by the emperor were tasted by eunuchs who would not taste the food.

"Then be careful yourself, don't let people chase you as an assassin..."

Hearing this, Nangong Li smiled confidently, and his tone was arrogant.

"Can those wine bags and rice bags in the palace find me?"

Mu Xue poked his chest and smiled happily: "I know that you can endure it, then come back early after you finish these things...."

In fact, Nangong Li doesn't necessarily have to go out at night, it's okay to go early tomorrow morning.

But he knew that Nangong Xun had sent people to monitor the front and back doors of his palace, as long as he went out openly, then Nangong Xun would definitely know.

He felt he needed to change his strategy.

Turn all your movements into the darkness ...

Mu Xue also deliberately chose a dark suit for Nangong Li, which looked like a night suit.

It is said that black is thin, and Nangong Li, who is in this dark suit, looks even more slender.

"That's good, remember to be safe...."

Mu Xue buttoned the belt for him, and then straightened the neckline without a trace of wrinkles for him, and instructed such a sentence.

"Okay."

The moonlight of Xia Xuanyue was not particularly bright, but with two light ups and downs, Nangong Li disappeared into the palace.

Nangong was as light as a swallow and as fast as lightning, without alarming any of the guards, and without spending too much time, he had already arrived on the roof of the palace where the emperor was sleeping at the back of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Nangong Li didn't rush in, because when he came over just now, he found an abnormality, and he saw Qingye in plain clothes wearing linen guarding outside.

Aoba is outside, which means that the queen mother is now in this heart cultivation hall.

Nangong Li looked up at the moonlight, pursed his lips and thought that it was already too late, and the old witch of the queen would say something when she came to find her father.

Nangong Li squatted down as if no one was there, pricking up his ears to listen to the movement below.

In fact, separated by the thick yellow sorghum and Uwa, even if Nangong Li has excellent hearing, he can't clearly hear what the two people below are saying.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to be so ruthless?"

The queen's slightly desperate voice lingered in the bedroom behind the Heart Cultivation Palace, and reached the ears of the emperor sitting behind the dragon case.

Presumably with the queen's despair, the emperor's expression was too indifferent.

He thought that this person desperately wanted to see him tonight, in order to repent of the sins he had made in the harem for so many years, but he didn't expect that this person came here, still to seek love for Nangong, and wanted to take back the holy decree.

"It's not that I'm ruthless, my arrangement is the most appropriate for him, and if there are some pleas, you really don't need to say it anymore, Queen."

In fact, the emperor's heart is also a little unbearable.

Because he had known the queen mother for nearly thirty years, he had never seen this woman so haggard.

I had heard people say that they were sick, but I never thought that my complexion was so bad.

In fact, illness is secondary.

This noble queen mother, every night as soon as she closes her eyes, she can think of the emperor beheading her father and brother, and this tone eventually brews into resentment, and she haunts her chest every day.

"Yes, the concubine can not say much, but the emperor has also seen it now, the concubine is afraid that the time is running out, the concubine has spent her whole life in the capital, the ancients said that the leaves fall back to the roots, and the concubine implores the emperor to agree...."

The emperor squinted, but he still had the last trace of patience.

"Promise what?"

Today's queen is obviously prepared, although she is sick and can't walk, she is still wearing the formal dress of the mother of the country of Dayuan, which shows that she has something important to tell the emperor.

"Concubines... Ahem.... The concubine hopes that the emperor can agree, the concubine has little time, and the concubine hopes to die in the capital, in her hometown..."

The queen's request, the emperor was actually quite shocked when he heard it.

Because he really didn't think that this woman was just going to end the rest of her life in the capital.

Although this queen is ruthless, she is indeed a person who misses the old.

For a nostalgic person, it would be a great pity if he really went to a place where he was unfamiliar with life when he was near, and he couldn't return to his roots in his hometown.

The emperor was still thinking, but tears rolled out of the queen's sunken eyes.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has known you for twenty-eight years, married you for twenty-six years, and gave birth to a son for you, can't you agree to such a small request from the concubine now?"

In fact, the emperor hesitated because he had his own considerations.

Although this man is seriously ill, he is still a long way from dying.

This is to stay in the capital forever...

The emperor raised his eyes and looked fixedly at the queen mother who was kneeling on the ground, and nodded for a long time: "Your request is reasonable, I can agree to you, but I will give you two choices now." ”

Hearing that someone said yes, the man raised his head with hope in his eyes, but when he heard that there were two choices, the queen had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Looking for filial piety, today in the court, he asked to stay and take care of your body in front of the civil and military officials, saying that he would leave Beijing after you recovered, so I will give you two choices now. Otherwise, you will stay in the capital to recuperate, but Xun'er will have to leave the capital after half a month. Otherwise, I will give your mother and son a month and a half months, and if you want to have such a long time to be raised, your illness will be cured, and you will be able to trek through mountains and rivers to the domain. ”

The emperor wants to separate these two people.

lest these two people be together and hold back some hurtful moves.

In fact, the emperor felt that he had done his best to Nangong Xun, and he also knew that among his sons, only the queen's sister-in-law was the most wrong, and most of the things were caused by him.

If this tumor can be uprooted in the capital, so that the capital will no longer be so smoky and miasma, it will be regarded as a merit.

When the queen heard these two choices, she fell into a struggle for a moment.

To be honest, if she were to be separated from her son now, and recuperate alone in the capital, she doubted that she would not see the sun tomorrow morning.

Because Concubine Shu and Concubine Duanhuang will definitely be the first to join forces to kill her.

Now these two people are still thinking about Nangong Xun's existence.

But if you choose to go with your son, it means that you and your son can only stay in the capital for a month and a half, and a month and a half later will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She hung her head so hard that it was hard to see her expression.

The emperor thought she was reluctant.

But in her heart, she was thinking that she must let the emperor eat the poisonous pill within a month and a half.

She didn't think about it for too long, and quickly thanked Lord Long.

"The emperor has an arrangement, and the concubines naturally dare not disobey, but next month's Mid-Autumn Festival, the concubines ask to be able to accompany the emperor with their sons in the capital to spend the last Mid-Autumn Festival, and then go to Sichuan and Shu with Xun'er. And if the concubine dies in the Sichuan and Shu domains a hundred years later, he also asks the emperor to promise that Xun'er can send the ashes of the concubine to the capital, so that the concubine can return to her roots. ”

The queen's two requests were reasonable, and the emperor had no intention of refusing at all.

I saw that the emperor behind the dragon case nodded, and instructed in a solemn tone: "I agreed, and I know Xun'er's ability, from childhood to adulthood, I have given him many tasks, he can't complete it well, but will be jealous of Chen'er and Li'er, who are better than him, Li'er is too good, so he has repeatedly harmed and Li'er, such a person with unscrupulous intentions, I can give him a vassal king for the sake of our acquaintance for decades, I hope that he will be a vassal king in the future, and he can grow more and do more practical things for the people, Don't put all your brains on those crooked ways, no one will get used to him anymore..."
