3. Weiqin's broken arm

Xiangbao always thinks that winter has an enmity with her.

When she was lying alone, she always unconsciously reached out to stroke her abdomen, where it was flat, and her child was gone.

She lost two children. When she lost it for the first time, she was still so ignorant, because she was ignorant, so she was not very sad. But...... This child, she was pregnant for ten months, and she felt that she was growing day by day in her womb, and she would kick her mischievously in her womb...... She even, glanced at her......

Although only at one glance......

But that glance is destined to be imprinted in Xiangbao's mind for the rest of his life.

She lost her daughter.

"Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." Joy comes in, and bows down.

Xiangbao nodded.

"Mother." Si Xiang walked in the door, as if he was already a beautiful young man.

The sound of "mother" stung Xiangbao and made her face pale.

"Mother, don't you want Si Xiang?" Sitting down on the edge of the couch, Si Xiang took her hand and said aggrievedly.

Xiangbao secretly regretted it, and hurriedly held his hand with his backhand: "I'm sorry." ”

"Ma'am, drink the medicine." Joy came in again, and this time, she came in with the medicine.

Xiangbao glanced at her, knowing that she didn't want to drink the medicine.

"Mother, drink the medicine." Si Xiang took the medicine bowl, scooped a spoonful, put it to her mouth to cool it, and brought it to her lips.

What can Xiangbao say, he can only drink medicine. In front of a child who calls her mother, it is difficult for her to lose her temper.

"Mother, there is news on the battlefield that my father's army is pressing, and the army is defeated, and my father is about to return in triumph." Si Xiang excitedly said the good news.

"Hmm." Xiangbao responds lightly.

Wei Qin ...... Will come back too.

Si Xiang was very well-behaved, and kept picking up some nice teasing smiles, from beginning to end, he didn't dare to mention the thin sister who had not met him.

After drinking the medicine, Xiangbao fell into a deep sleep.

Probably because of the medicine, for a few days, Xiangbao fell asleep groggyly. In a daze, someone gently stroked her sideburns, and her eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.

The eyelashes trembled slightly, Xiangbao opened his eyes, the narrow eyes in front of him, the face of the troubled water, who is it if it is not a husband? After looking at him carefully for a long time, Xiangbao couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the bridge of his straight nose, his daughter's nose was very similar to his......

Realizing that Xiangbao was looking at him, the gloom in Fucha's eyes disappeared instantly, and he gently grabbed her hand and put it on his lips to kiss it.

"No death, no injuries, no bloodshed, not a single hair dropped, I came back unharmed." He said.

"Hmm." Her eyes were a little hot.

"Wei Qin is back too." He said again.

"Thank you."

Sitting in front of the window in a daze, Xiangbao looked at the snowflakes outside the window, the husband was triumphant, and Weiqin did not die...... That's nice.

But her daughter......

Xiangbao looked down at her hands in a daze, as if she could still see her soft little body lying in her arms that day, and her body was still so warm......

She was in danger, and she left her daughter suffocated to death...... No one came to their rescue. If it weren't for Shi Lian, I'm afraid even she would have died.

"Madam, it's still snowing outside, you just had a miscarriage, and your body can't stand this cold ......" On the side, a maid persuaded her, but she was stopped by joy.

This is a taboo in the Guanwa Palace.

Xiangbao turned to look at her and told her very seriously: "It's not a miscarriage, my daughter, it's just dead." ”

The maid froze, and her eyes were red with joy.

Xiangbao looked back at the window, there were crystal snowflakes floating in from the window, Xiangbao reached out and took a piece, and looked down to see the crystal slowly melt in her palm and disappear......

Such a short life.

With a slight darkness in front of him, Xiangbao raised his head and looked at the red-robed man standing outside the window, it was Wei Qin. He was smiling at her, and the peace knot she had given him was tied with a piece of hemp rope and was hanging around his neck.

In this palace, he came and went as if he was in a no-man's land.

"When you become Zuo Sima, why are you still so casual?" Bending her lips, Xiangbao teased, making herself look less bad.

Wei Qin also grinned.

"This is on a sword, why is it hanging around the neck?" Pointing to the peace knot around his neck, Xiangbao said.

"It's inconvenient to tie it to a sword." Wei Qin said.

Xiangbao stretched out his hand: "Give it to me." ”

"You've given it to me." Wei Qin raised his right hand to protect the peace knot, and said with a guarded face.

Xiangbao laughed, thinking that the hemp rope was really ugly: "Give it to me." ”

"Although I came back from the battle, I still want a safe knot, maybe one day I will suddenly be hacked to death." Wei Qin will be wrong, but he still doesn't let go, and he says in a hurry.

"Don't talk nonsense." Hearing him say ominous, Xiangbao couldn't cry or laugh, and reprimanded. There was a faint uneasiness in her heart, and she immediately sighed in frustration: "I just want to change a rope for you, that one is too ugly." ”

Wei Qin was slightly stunned, blushing a little, and hurriedly tore off the peace knot and put it in Xiangbao's hand.

Xiangbao lowered his head and took a few silk threads from the table beside him, wound them finely, knitted them into a dense one, and then threaded the threads on the peace knot and returned them to Weiqin.

Wei Qin reached out and took it and put it in his arms.

Hearing how ominous he had just said, and seeing that he just put the peace knot into his arms, Xiangbao frowned and said, "Put it on." ”

Wei Qin was stunned and hesitated.

"What's wrong? Don't forget it. Xiangbao said deliberately.

Wei Qin took it seriously, hurriedly took out the peace knot, bit one end of the thread in his mouth, and the other end went around his neck, just about to tie the knot, but his hand suddenly slipped, and the peace knot fell down all of a sudden.

Wei Qin hurriedly lowered her head and bent down to look for it, Xiangbao had some doubts in her heart, and hurriedly stood up and walked out of the room quickly and walked to the window.

Standing by the window, Xiangbao watched in a daze as Wei Qin squatted on the snow looking for a peace knot, playing with the snow with his right hand, but the sleeve tube in his left hand was empty......

Xiangbao bit her lip and stepped forward. Seeing Xiangbao's feet, Wei Qin was stunned for a moment, looked up at her, and then slowly stood up.

"What's going on?" Xiangbao's voice trembled slightly.

"Attacked on the battlefield." Wei Qin said with a smile, raised his right hand and touched his head, "In the past, I was the only one who attacked others, but now I am attacked by others, which is really unpleasant." ”

Xiangbao had a cold face. Seeing her expression, Wei Qin lowered her head slightly, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Hehe, that knife was originally beckoned to my face, but I thought, what if I disfigured you can't recognize me, I couldn't help but raise my hand to block it, and it turned out to be a waste of an arm......" After a while, he looked up at her and smiled again, as if he was telling a joke that had nothing to do with him. Seeing that Xiangbao was expressionless all the time, his voice couldn't help but get smaller and smaller, and finally lowered his head again.

Xiangbao didn't look at him, just crouched down in the snow to find the falling peace knot.

With his head down, Xiangbao stirred with a thick layer of snow on the ground, but he couldn't help but have a warm liquid falling in his eyes, hitting the snow, melting the snow and turning it into small holes, like a heart full of holes.

"I'm sorry......" Weiqin bent down and whispered in her ear.

Gritting his teeth, Xiangbao raised his head suddenly: "Why do you always say sorry to me?" You're not sorry for me! It's yourself who you're sorry for! The one whose hand was cut off is you, not me! Xiangbao yelled angrily.

Wei Qin landed on one knee, looked at Xiangbao, and gently wiped Xiangbao's cheek with his only right hand: "I'm sorry to worry you; I'm sorry that Yue Nu hurt you......"

Xiangbao looked at him stunned, he knew everything......

It turned out that he was guilty of the child's death, and guilty of what Yue Nu had done to her.

Hehe, it's so stupid, it has nothing to do with you, even if you are there, Yue Nu may not be able to save me. Gou Jian ordered the child to die, how could Yue Nu be soft?

Wei Qin stretched out her hand and gently brushed the hair scattered on her forehead: "Sister......"

He said, sister.

He called her, sister.

It was the first time he had called her like that, the first time he had acknowledged that she was his sister.

Xiangbao looked at him in a daze.

"Sister, you've never been alone." He looked at her and said softly, "I've never been so glad I am your relative. ”

Xiangbao lowered his head against his increasingly broad shoulders, and tears could not stop falling. He knew that she wanted to have a child because she wanted to have a blood relative, and he obviously rejected such a blood relationship, he obviously ......

Now, they admit this sister-brother relationship.

How bitter should his heart be?

She's so selfish to the extreme.

The palm of his hand touched the knot of peace on the snow, and Xiangbao picked it up, raised his head and carefully hung it around his neck for him...... In the wind, the fiery red sleeves raised from time to time are extremely dazzling.

The arm, along with the tattoo on the arm that would prove his identity, vanished.

Wei Qin had never told her about the war, the war that cost him an arm, but Xiangbao knew that it must have been extremely tragic.

It's just that...... The man in red finally came back alive.

Her brother returned to her alive.

In the afternoon, someone from the palace came to spread the word, saying that tonight the husband would set up a banquet in the main hall to reward the three armies and celebrate the triumph, and all the concubines needed to attend together.

Xiangbao nodded and promised.

"Madam, last night, Doctor Wen died." Joy pulled Xiangbao's hair, looked at it carefully, and said.

"Physician Wen?" Looking at herself in the mirror, who was pale and ghost-like, Xiangbao was a little absent-minded, wondering if the woman had buried her daughter properly.

"Well, it's the doctor who was supposed to deliver your baby for your wife. I heard that he was killed at home last night, and when he died, he was still holding the jewels tightly in his hands, and even had many coins stuffed in his mouth, and the death was very terrifying...... "Joy said with a look of fear.

Xiangbao came back to his senses and frowned: "Stuffed with money in your mouth? ”

"Hmm." Joy nodded, with a look of concern.

The doctor left the palace so coincidentally that night, and he must have received someone's favor. It's just that if it was really the main murderer behind the scenes, it wouldn't be so weird to stuff money into his mouth......

Xiangbao's heart tightened slightly, and suddenly remembered Aunt Gan's death.

"I saw an old, ugly woman counting money in the room." Wei Qin's words were still in my ears that day.

"Then I heard you were sold." Wei Qin frowned.

"So, you burned Liujun drunk and burned Aunt Gan to death?" The sound of her sighing ......

"Hmm." Weiqin replied in a low voice.

"Ma'am? Madame ...... "The joyful voice awakens the incense treasure of the gods.

Xiangbao came back to his senses and sighed lowly, is the doctor's death related to Wei Qin?

Joy took the dresser and traced it on her face, and Xiangbao closed her eyes and let her smear it on her face.

"Madame, you are really beautiful." After a while, Joy exclaimed.

Xiangbao slowly opened her eyes and looked at the woman in gorgeous clothes in the bronze mirror, her willow eyebrows were lightly drawn, her eyes were like stars, and her lips were smeared with vermilion, which was delicate.

The growth of age has made her fade away from the coquettishness and beauty of her girlhood, but it has added a touch of charm. Slightly hooked lips, it is extremely charming, a peerless enchantress.

I have to admit that Joy's makeup is very good, and the woman with a smile in the mirror at this time is like the yellow-faced woman with a pale face like a ghost and full of sorrow half a moment ago.

That's what woe should look like. Since Wu Zixu and his old man valued her so much, how could she disappoint him? What's more, tonight, there are many people who want to see her jokes. What they see in their eyes will not be the pain of a mother who has just lost a child, but only the failure of a ridiculous woman who wants her mother to be more expensive than her child.

How could she, how could she let them get their wish?

Even though the tears in her eyes were about to drown herself, she would attend with a smile and complete the perfect image of the red face in their minds.

"Madame, your body ...... Is it really okay? After a moment's hesitation, Joy worried.

Standing up and moving his muscles slightly, Xiangbao smiled: "This body is a little bit worse, but I also ruined it myself, and I deserve it." ”

Joy bit her lip and didn't say anything more.

The gorgeous carriage was already waiting outside the Guanwa Palace, and Xiangbao sat down in the carriage with joyful support. Suppressing the tumbling of the river and the sea in his stomach, Xiangbao reached out and gently pressed his flat abdomen.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Joy and anxiety.

Xiangbao shook his head.

After getting out of the carriage and standing outside the main hall, Xiangbao straightened his spine, took a deep breath, and slowly walked into the main hall with the support of joy. The main hall, which was still very lively just now, suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the legendary woman who lived in the palace of Guanwa.

It didn't feel good to be watched by people at all, and Xiangbao suddenly remembered how he stood on the high platform where he was drunk and waited for the price to sell. In those disdainful, or resentful, or jealous, or admiring, or amazed eyes, Xiangbao did not squint, and slowly walked into the main hall.

She wore a white fox fur cloak, and the cloak was a little crimson, as red as blood. The husband sat high in the first place, still dressed in an arrogant bright yellow, he pursed his lips and watched her slowly walk into the hall.

In the main hall, above the four corners, there are bronze ring beam square furnaces. The fire burned very strongly, and the green smoke curled in the hall, without a trace of cold.

The narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and the husband looked at Xiangbao, his eyes were as black as a deep pool.

Xiangbao sat quietly.

"Come, give wine." Fucha raised the wine pod in his hand and said loudly.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and they all stood up and congratulated.

Xiangbao turned around and saw Wu Zixu on the right, his face was gloomy, his face was not good, I thought it was because she was immoral again, or was it ...... He was annoyed that he didn't see her depressed and depressed...... Or even the fragrance of the jade?

Doesn't it say that the scourge will last for thousands of years?

Xiangbao raised the wine cup in his hand, and smiled at him from a distance in the distance of a few people.

Wu Zixu's face became more and more ugly, in his eyes, the woman who could still laugh in the pain of losing a child should be more in line with the image of disaster in his mind. Xiangbao lowered his head and sipped, coldly watching the jealousy in the eyes of the concubines. After looking at it for a while, she found that there was one person missing, Zheng Dan and her...... Didn't show up?

Seeing Xiangbao drinking, Joy was worried.

Just a glass of wine has already made Xiangbao blush.

The husband, who was sitting high in the first place, suddenly stood up, walked to Xiangbao's side in the surprised eyes of everyone, wrapped the fox fur cloak around her, and carried her out of the main hall.

Sitting in the carriage, he sent her back to the palace.

He took her in his arms, and she could not even feel the jolt of the carriage, and snuggled up to him quietly, her eyes closed and silent.

His hand moved slightly, slowly slid down her waist, gently covered her already flat abdomen, and suddenly spoke: "Does it hurt?" …… It hurts. ”

"Well, yes, it hurts." Without opening her eyes, she muttered.

"I heard it's a girl...... Is it pretty? Gently, his hand stroked her face, which was slightly red from the smell of wine, and said.

"Well, it's beautiful." Xiangbao opened his eyes and curled his lips, but there was a blur in front of him. Such a conversation is like an ordinary couple, talking about their daughter with three points of pride in their tone......

His hand holding her tightened slightly: "Like whom?" ”

Xiangbao remembered her beautiful nose: "The nose is like you, and the mouth is like me." ”

"That's really beautiful." Fucha's voice was so far away that it seemed to come from the depths of the clouds.

He hugged her tightly, as if to hold her deep in his arms.
