Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Meeting
She slowly closed her eyes, inwardly expecting his answer.
Have you ever loved, even for a moment?
After a long silence, I only heard the cold wind howling outside the house getting stronger and stronger, and even the candle flame in the house was dancing, as if to complain about the silence at this time.
After a long time, he finally spoke with difficulty, and only said one word: "I ......"
Wait, wait...... Hearing that he didn't say anything more, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she was smiling bitterly, this is the answer she has been waiting for. In the end, in this one-man show, she is still only moved by herself.
There is no one in the world who can't express his feelings for another person because he is silent, introverted and shy, and all the unspeakable is loveless, otherwise, I am afraid that I have already blushed, for fear that the other party will not be able to feel my true feelings.
It turns out that the dream made up with a person's hopes is really shattered.
She didn't look forward to it anymore, but why couldn't she stop her tears, was she sad, and her heart ached? Of course, this fruitless unrequited love is really bitter.
It's time to end?
She held her somewhat uncomfortable stomach with her hands, a bitter smile on her face, tears in her eyes, and stubbornness and disappointment in her eyes. Turning around to stop looking at him, a hoarse voice sounded: "Bai Zixu, I hate you, go, I don't want to see you again." She could have made her tone unsoothed.
He stood still and didn't move a step.
"If you don't leave, are you still waiting to see the joke?" She questioned him again and again in her heart, and her anger was aroused, and she cried out hoarsely, "Go, go." ”
Watching his back disappear, she suddenly burst out laughing, laughing at her pathetic, laughing at her pitiful...... It's just that the tears still hang on his face.
She suddenly felt empty in her heart, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable lightness. Standing in place like that, for a long time, until her legs became numb, she slowly moved to the front of the desk, holding her waist with one hand and the corner of the desk with the other, and found a very uncomfortable position to sit down.
With great difficulty reaching the pen, grinding the ink, and tearing off a large piece of clothing with all her might, at this time, she did not even want to wait for someone to get the brocade silk.
Juanxiu's ink-colored handwriting was printed on the purple clothes, she carefully folded it, summoned the green bamboo to seal it in the copper pipe, avoided everyone in the mansion, and secretly sent it to the Southern Zhou Yupang Palace.
……
The vague halo gradually gathered, slowly becoming clear and bright, and the dancing candle flame finally pulled Yong'an's thoughts back.
In the past, it was really like a dream, love was too humble, and I had to leave the last dignity for myself.
……
On February 18, Ji Qianning and others, who set off from Yangcheng, hurriedly stepped up, and finally arrived in Biancheng in only one month.
Bai Yi, Princess Changle and Xuanzhi greeted each other outside the city early, and everyone saw each other, and they greeted each other with a round of greetings, each of which was excited.
Ji Qianning couldn't participate in the reception banquet they had prepared for herself, so she rode to Baifu and went to visit Yong'an as soon as possible.
Before going, she had asked Bai Yi about Yong'an's current situation, and he told her that everything was fine with Lan'er, and even so, she had to go and see for herself.
She didn't order anyone to go to Baifu to report in advance, and when Yongan saw her come back, he was excited and left tears in his eyes. People, who have suffered great grievances outside, when they see someone close to them, all forbearance will fail, and no matter how powerful a person is, he will become vulnerable.
"What's wrong?" Ji Qianning comforted her softly, "Did you suffer any grievances?" ”
Yongan shook his head and didn't say a word, this kind of thing, it's really hard for her to talk about it, it's just that she hasn't seen her for a few months, and she is so excited to see Miss so out of shape.
With such a statement, Ji Qianning could not believe that Lan'er was about to give birth, and she was afraid that her gaffe would make her unhappy, so she didn't ask anymore.
Yongan saw the worry in her eyes, and hurriedly explained: "The older the child, the more troublesome people often make, so during this time, my emotions have often recurred, and when the young lady has a child in the future, she will know." She smiled and shook her head helplessly.
Ji Qianning seems to understand whether she understands or not, she always feels that Lan'er is a little different from a few months ago, what is the difference, she can't say.
……
Approaching evening, walking out of the Pujia Courtyard, Qingzhu sent Ji Qianning to the gate of the house.
Seeing that Ji Qianning was about to turn around and leave, Qingzhu hurriedly shouted to her, and stopped talking.
Ji Qianning asked suspiciously, "Qingzhu, is there something?"
Qingzhu clenched her hands, lowered her head very low, struggled for a long time, and raised her head to tell her, "It's okay."
Ji Qianning shook her head helplessly, turned around and led the horse to leave.
Just as she got one foot on the stirrup, Qingzhu finally mustered up the courage and called again. She turned her head and saw Qingzhu crying, she had some bad premonitions in her heart, and hurriedly jumped on the ground, took a few steps to Qingzhu, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?"
Seeing her ask, Qingzhu cried even more fiercely. She couldn't wait for Qingzhu to say a word for a long time, she was a little angry, and raised her voice: "What's wrong?"
Qingzhu finally stopped crying, saluted her apologetically, and then told her all the grievances that Yongan had suffered these days.
Qingzhu knows that Miss Ji has a deep love for the princess, and she is the only person who can help the princess.
Ji Qianning's face gradually sank, her brows furrowed, her fists clenched, and her eyes were full of anger. She quickly stepped on the horse, shouted "...... ride", and rode towards the Lingwang Mansion.
When she arrived at the gate of the mansion, she didn't care about stopping her horse, so she jumped off her horse and rushed into the mansion. When the people in the palace saw her return, they all greeted her with smiling faces, and she didn't care about anyone, but went to the study.
The people were at a loss for a moment......
When she arrived, she resisted the urge to kick it open, pushed open the two doors of the study, and shouted angrily: "Brother Yi, Bai Yi."
Her move startled Xuan Qi, who was reading a book in the house, and he quickly got up from behind the bookcase and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
When Ji Qianning saw Xuan Qi, she hurriedly chased forward and asked, "Bai Yi?" Before she went to Bai Mansion, Bai Yi and Xuan Qi were in this study. Listening to Qingzhu say everything in front of the Bai Mansion, she couldn't help but be angry, and she was about to teach Bai Yi a good lesson for Lan'er.
Seeing that she was so angry, Xuan Qi clenched her hands and whispered, "Zi Yu just left, you haven't touched it?"
Ji Qianning pushed Xuan Qi's hand away: "I'll go and say something to him." After that, you have to run out.
Xuan Qi grabbed her hand and comforted: "The reasons and tastes of other people's feelings are only clear to them, and others will not judge them after all." When he saw her, he guessed why she was so angry.
Ji Qianning turned her head, her expression even more displeased: "You also know? He said with yours? ”
Xuan Qi nodded: "I just heard about it."
Ji Qianning shook him off angrily: "You men are so cold, and you also know how to protect each other, no matter what happens today, I have to find justice for Lan'er."
Xuan Qi stepped forward a few steps, hugged Ji Qianning who was about to rush out of the study from behind, and waited for her to calm down before she said softly: "Ning'er, it's not that I protect my son, I am also very angry when I know that he has done such a thing." He squeezed her hand, "You also know that it's really hard to tell which is right and which is wrong in a relationship, and instead of blaming one party, it's better to find a way to make him make up for his mistakes." ”
Ji Qianning's eyes suddenly turned red: "Now like this, is there any way to make up for it?"
Xuan Qi knew that she felt sorry for Yong'an, and touched her head to comfort her: "Yes, I have a lot of regret between listening to Zi'an's words, she is not ruthless to Princess Yong'an, but she is too obsessed with Su Jinyan and dare not face her feelings."
"Su Jinyan?" Ji Qianning sighed, "I hope so." ”
……
In late February, the weather has already warmed up, after a long winter accumulation, some early flowers and trees, already budding, the earth is a thriving scene.
A long time ago, I heard that a wealthy businessman smiled for Mrs. Bo and bought a large vacant land in the southeast of Biancheng to build an exquisite garden with pavilions and buildings, exotic flowers and plants blooming. After the rich merchant fell in the middle of the road, it became a public place, and every year in the early spring, the powerful people in the city always had a good time here.
Yongan heard that there was such a good place, and despite everyone's persuasion, he quietly went out of the house with a big belly and came here. She wants to take a break, and now, the most important thing is to take care of the baby and give birth to the child safely. There are less than 10 days left before the time of delivery, and the doctor said that moving around more will also help with childbirth.
It's just that this action is really inconvenient.
Qingzhu was so busy that he didn't take his eyes off her.
I inadvertently heard the two women passing by say that Concubine Shu left the palace today and came here, and they hurried to see Concubine Shu's beautiful face.
Yong Anxin sneered, now that he is here, he can't escape Su Jinyan's shadow.
She took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, raised her eyes, and two familiar figures appeared in front of her, and her heart suddenly twitched violently.
It was Su Jinyan and Bai Yi who walked in front, Su Jinyan had a bright smile on her face, Bai Yi lowered her head and listened to her carefully.
The rising sun hit the two of them in the face, and they looked so beautiful.
I don't care anymore, why does my heart hurt so much?
"It hurts." Yongan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, she squeezed Qingzhu's hand, supported her stomach with the other hand, closed her eyes, frowned, and couldn't breathe for a long time.
"Princess." Qingzhu noticed the abnormality, and was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, "Princess, don't scare the slave." ”
This shout immediately attracted the attention of the people around her, and Bai Yi also found Yong'an's figure at the same time, seeing her uncomfortable appearance, her heart suddenly became uncomfortable, and she was even a little angry, angry at why she didn't take care of herself.
His heart was full of worries about her at this time, and he immediately ran over to hold her in his arms, and shouted anxiously, "Lan'er."
Yongan was so painful that he didn't have any strength to deal with him at this time, and when he saw the worry on his face, he felt a little happy in his heart.
"Mother." At this moment, Su Jinyan's maid also shouted loudly.
Bai Yi raised his eyes and saw Su Jinyan fall to the ground, and he exclaimed in his heart, "Niangniang." He shouted worriedly. The king told her to take care of her mother, in case anything went wrong...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Bai Yi hurriedly asked Qingzhu to take Yong'an, and said softly, "Lan'er, hold on for a while." After speaking, he ran to Su Jinyan's side.
He carefully picked up Su Jinyan and asked softly, "Niangniang, how is it?"
"It hurts." Su Jinyan cried with pear blossoms and rain, "I'm afraid that the ankle of this palace is broken." ”
"Don't be afraid, Weichen will send you back to the palace for treatment."
Bai Yi had mixed feelings for a while, he was at a loss, he wanted Bai Yang to send Concubine Shu back to the palace and take care of Yong'an himself.
"It hurts." At this moment, Concubine Shu cried again.
Bai Yi struggled in his heart for a long time, reluctantly glanced at Yong'an, his heart was crossed, leaving Bai Yang to send Yong'an home, and he picked up Su Jinyan and left.
Yongan looked at his back, his heart was cold all of a sudden, and the warm sun shone on his body, which also dispelled the chill in his heart. She suddenly felt a wet liquid flowing down her legs, and immediately panicked, grabbed Qingzhu's hand, and looked scared: "My child."
