114. A night in the snow
Shen Qinghuan responded, and was about to stand up with her injured foot when she saw Yu Du kneeling on the ground with one foot facing away from her, in front of her.
"You..."
"If the mother doesn't dislike it, Yu Du will carry the mother..."
Shen Qinghuan looked up at the getting heavier and heavier snow, nodded in a voice so light that it was almost inaudible, and then stretched out his hand and hung it around Yu Du's neck, and the whole person was attached to his back. After a while, Yu Du stood up and walked with Shen Qinghuan on his back on a snowy day. Shen Qinghuan saw that the snowflakes fell on Yu Du's hair and melted after a while. She also felt that there were many snowflakes on her,
Many years later, when Shen Qinghuan thought of this scene, he would still feel a different kind of emotion in his heart.
As for what it was, she couldn't tell.
But when she was so helpless, there was a wide and warm back that supported her and allowed her to move forward in the snow, how could she not be moved?
"Yu Du..."I don't know how long I walked, Qing Huan felt as if her eyelids were a little fighting, and she was about to close.
"What's wrong?" Yu Du asked.
"I... I'm a little tired. ”
Yu Du quickened his pace and said, "There is a cave in front, Niangniang will hold on for a while." ”
Finally, Yu Du walked into the cave and gently placed Shen Qinghuan, whose little face was already red from cold, on the ground, her eyes were closed, and her brows were slightly frowned. On the tip of the eyebrows, a few crystal snowflakes also fell.
Yu Du reached out and probed Shen Qinghuan's head, it was so hot! He was a little surprised at first, and then thought with annoyance, he should have taken off his clothes and draped them on Shen Qinghuan, the snow was so big, and she was not in good health, how could she not catch a cold?
"Mother?" He called out to her tentatively.
Shen Qinghuan responded in a daze: "Hmm..." There was a thick nasal voice in his voice, which made Yu Du feel slightly distressed.
In fact, he was not surprised at all by his feelings. Distressed... Yes, in fact, when he kidnapped her on Qi Yan's order, he had a trace of heartbeat. But he later thought, Shen Qinghuan is good-looking, which man would not be impressed?
But when he went to release her the next day, she looked at him with a wary gaze, dressed in green clothes, like a prickly kitten, but when she got into the carriage, she ate the pastry innocently and lively. Such a defenseless and simple girl was completely different from the scheming woman he had seen before.
But this person, he can't touch. She is the woman Qi Yan wants and the future queen.
Yu Du understood this truth early on, and knew how far he was from Shen Qinghuan.
For more than a year, he watched Qi Yan and Shen Qinghuan arguing and arguing, dividing and merging, but he was very envious in his heart. Even so, he thought, it would be fine.
He remembered that Shen Qinghuan once asked him when he would get married, and he said that if he wanted to marry, he must marry the woman he loved the most. Maybe from that time, he knew that he might never marry for the rest of his life.
In fact, he has a deep relationship with Qi Yan and has been with him for more than ten years, and he has never left Qi Yan. But when Qi Yan said that he wanted him to accompany Shen Qinghuan to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to pray for blessings, he even felt a little shameful happiness.
Just to be able to accompany her.
Yu Du sighed, went to the side to pick up a lot of firewood, and lit it.
Then gently hugged Shen Qinghuan, who had already fallen asleep, to the side of the fire, and let the heat of the fire warm her. And he stayed by the side, sometimes looking at her face, sometimes looking into the distance, hoping that those people would come sooner, but selfishly hoping that those people would never come.
At night, the sky was getting colder and colder, Shen Qinghuan opened her eyes in a daze, and found that Yu Du was still guarding by the fire, and she felt very relieved inexplicably.
"Yu Du, take a break..."Shen Qinghuan said in a hoarse voice.
"Are you awake?" He seems to have forgotten to call her "Niangniang", and instead used "you".
Shen Qinghuan didn't feel rude, after today, she already knew that she and Yu Du were friends of life and death, how could she stick to these titles, she smiled weakly: "Actually... In fact, when you don't call me 'Niangniang', it's more kind and natural. I'm obviously still young, and when you call me 'mother', it looks like I'm so old. ”
"The mother is really young." Yu Du smiled, seeing Shen Qinghuan's face darkened, he hurriedly changed his words, "Do you feel better, has the fever subsided?" ”
"Well, it should be." Shen Qinghuan sat up, "I've been in bad health lately, and I get cold at every turn...", she shrugged her shoulders self-deprecatingly, "Hey......"
"Overthinking." Yu Du said suddenly, "In such a harsh environment, how can the burn go away?" ”
Shen Qinghuan couldn't deny it, but suddenly said, "I'm a little hungry, Yu Du." ”
Yu Du patted his head and said, "Yes, I also went outside to find some wild fruits to eat, it's cold and snowy, there is nothing, Niangniang may have to settle down." ”
Shen Qinghuan had always thought that Yu Du was rigid and sluggish, but when he saw his cute movements, he suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at..."
"It's fine." Shen Qinghuan took the fruit and took a bite, "I don't know when they will find us." ”
"Come on. Tomorrow morning at the latest. Even if you really can't find it, someone will go back to the palace to tell the emperor, and the emperor will send someone to find it. Yu Du comforted.
"Hmm." Although Shen Qinghuan responded, she felt in her heart that Qi Yan might not come to save her.
Yu Du took off his robe, handed it to Shen Qinghuan, and said, "It's going to be colder at night in the mountains, I have dried my clothes just now, you can sleep with your covers... Cover it tightly, maybe you will wake up tomorrow and you won't have a fever. ”
Shen Qinghuan didn't shirk it, took the clothes, and said, "Don't catch a cold." She knew that if she became sicker, it would only cause Yu Du more trouble.
"I'm fine, no." Yu Du smiled.
Shen Qinghuan wrapped himself in Yu Du's wide robe, because of the fever, he was dizzy, and soon fell asleep.
This sleep, Shen Qinghuan didn't sleep soundly, which was a matter of course. To be honest, she is so old that she has never spent the night in such a harsh environment, in fact, let alone him, not even Yu Du.
She dreamed a lot, dreamed of the joy and quarrel with Qi Yan, dreamed of the heavy snow, and dreamed of the willows and lotus flowers.
Even, she dreamed of a picture that had never appeared and that she didn't dare to imagine at all.
On a small boat—there was no one nearby—there were bursts of laughter and laughter in the green mountains and green waters, and this voice seemed to have hers and Qi Yan's. Even...
There was even a five or six-year-old child, with two small buns, nestled in Shen Qinghuan's arms, "giggling" and laughing.
That's, that's their kid, right?
Shen Qinghuan was shocked, I don't know if she shed tears in her dream, but this scene is so beautiful, so beautiful that she can't bear to blink. There is only one of them left in the world, no worries, no quarrels, only happiness.
But the biting cold finally made Shen Qinghuan wake up from her dream, she frowned, and looked at the sky outside the cave, which was already bright.
It's late in winter, but now in the mountains, the sky is already so bright, it's not too early to think about it.
Shen Qinghuan suddenly felt the pain in her abdomen, she tried to stand up, but saw that her clothes had been dyed red, she stepped back in fear, and the pain in her lower abdomen came. She covered her stomach in fear and said, "Yu Du..."
Yu Du had just slept for an hour when he heard Shen Qinghuan's voice, and the moment he heard her voice, he smelled a smell of blood. He opened his eyes violently and saw that Shen Qinghuan's face was as pale as a piece of paper, and sweat was also dripping from his forehead. What's even more shocking is that there is already a small pool of blood under her body.
Yu Du stepped forward quickly and said, "What's wrong with you?" He didn't notice that his voice was trembling.
"It hurts..."Shen Qinghuan almost fainted in pain, the whole person was paralyzed in Yu Du's arms, and said intermittently, "Help me, please... Save the children......"
Yu Du was stunned, he wasn't sure if he heard it wrong, she said, she has a child? That, the pool of blood under her, is......
He didn't have time to think about it, so he hugged Shen Qinghuan horizontally and said, "Hold on for a while, I'll take you out." He wasn't sure if Shen Qinghuan had heard, because her eyes had been closed, her mouth was still muttering pain, and her whole face was painful and distorted.
The snow has stopped, but the snow is very thick, and Yu Du has a little difficulty walking, not to mention that he is still holding a person in his arms, although Shen Qinghuan is not heavy, but she is now lifeless in his arms, so he has no way not to be distracted.
Yu Du seemed to feel something warm in his hand, but he didn't think much about it, and maybe he didn't dare to think about it. If Shen Qinghuan is indeed pregnant, then the child in her arms is Qi Yan's child, Zhao Yue's eldest son. Now that he is by Shen Qinghuan's side, if this child is gone, how can he be justified?
His mind was so muddy that he couldn't think about it anymore.
He didn't know how long he had walked, and just when he felt that he was at the end of his rope, he suddenly saw several bean-sized figures in the distance, and he was ecstatic, as if he had never felt the hope of life in his life. He quickened his pace, which seemed to have been poured, allowing the figure to grow in size in his field of vision.
Finally, Red Sleeves and Ah Xin rushed over first, Red Sleeves saw Shen Qinghuan in Yu Du's arms, and her face turned pale when she knew it, what she was afraid of, did it happen?
"!" Ah Xin didn't know what was wrong with Shen Qinghuan, and was about to rush forward with an exclamation. Red Sleeves grabbed her and said, "Don't go up!" Let the Yu guards take the lady to the room first, you, go and ask the doctor, remember, don't invite the imperial doctor in the palace! ”
Ah Xiao was a little stunned, but seeing that Red Sleeves was so serious and serious, she would only cry and cause trouble without any assertions, besides, if she didn't stand firm, Niangniang would not have helped her, and there would be no current thing at all. Feeling guilty, she nodded hurriedly, and ran away.
