Summer is coming, the afternoon day is gradually a little stuffy, the heat is so hot that people are drowsy, plus I am pregnant with a high body temperature, and drowsiness, so in the afternoon, a dip on the couch, then fall asleep.

In my sleep, I felt someone whispering beside me, and something soft was imprinted on my lips, crispy and itchy, like a fine and dense needle rain, falling lightly.

When I woke up, there was no one around, it was empty, I felt depressed, so I walked to the window to breathe.

Through the open red lattice window carved with lotus moire patterns, I saw a man and a woman standing opposite each other in the bright golden sun, talking and laughing. The scorching sun burned the girl's jade-like face with fragrant sweat, and her cheeks were flushed, as if she had given birth to a brilliant peach blossom, which was charming and moving, adding more color.

The man took out a fine silk, smiled gently, and carefully wiped the beads of sweat from the girl's forehead, and the girl thanked her softly, and smiled, as clear as the morning glow that pierced the clouds and broke the night.

I'm a little blocked in my heart, Chen Qian and Yunxi are so close, is it a good thing or a bad thing?

returned to the couch and sat down for a while, but saw Yunxi walking over through the painted screen of the flowing butterfly love flower branches, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, are you awake?" ”

"Your Majesty has come to see you." Yunxi sat down next to me and said with a smile, "Your Majesty saw that Niangniang was asleep, and he couldn't bear to wake you up, so he sat at the head of the bed and looked at you like this, for two hours, and just left, but unfortunately he couldn't wait for Niangniang to wake up." ”

Yunxi's smile was like the blue water under the slanting sun, "Niangniang, you say, is Your Majesty very considerate." ”

It turned out that Chen Qian was by my side, who should I be, and I couldn't be at ease in my sleep, that strange ** feeling, I guess he was taking advantage of me!

"Niangniang, I think Your Majesty is very good to you, don't think nonsense. Isn't it good to have no worries about food and clothing in the palace, and to be protected by His Majesty? Yunxi's smart eyes turned to me and said tentatively.

"Silly girl." I took her hand and said quietly, "You think things too simply, the emperor's favor is like a floating cloud in the sky, brilliant as a brocade when gathered, and as beautiful as an ink painting." When it disperses, it only dissipates a gust of wind, and it disappears in an instant, leaving no trace. Your Majesty has only favor for me, no love, more unwillingness, conquest, possession, and sooner or later he will get tired of me. At that point, my life will be in danger. ”

After listening to my words, Yunxi's eyes were as confused as spring water, and he was stunned.

If you don't understand it now, it doesn't matter, but in the future, she will always understand.

What's more, the most important thing is that I don't have any love for him, and under the calm surface is a burning anger and surging hatred. Stay by his side, every moment is painful and tormenting. I gritted my silver teeth and endured it, swallowed blood and tears into my stomach, and suppressed the hatred of the waves that almost wanted to break the embankment crazily, so that I could persist until this step.

When I was alone, my fingers gently stroked the bell on the red gold bracelet, broke it open and took out the pill inside, and fell into deep thought.

I would have liked to take this pill and then pretend to have a fall, and it would be a natural miscarriage. But now, I learned about Yan Shuyuan's plan to kill people with a knife, so I can't let her go lightly. She can't hurt me once, and she will hurt me a second and third time, I must not sit and wait for death, I must think of a way.

Touching my lower abdomen, I gradually had an idea in my heart.

It was another sunny afternoon, and I woke up from a nap as usual, touched my wrist, and found that the bracelet I had been wearing was gone!

For safety, I always carry the bracelet on my hand and never leave it, just for fear of being discovered. This bracelet suddenly disappeared, there must be something weird!

Could it be Pear Fei? No, no, no, it doesn't have to be her, don't panic yet, calm down, and think about it.

"Mother." The familiar crisp sound broke my chaotic thoughts.

Seeing Yunxi come in, I tried my best to suppress my flustered emotions and make my voice sound as calm as possible, "Yunxi, have you seen the bracelet I have been wearing on my hand, the red gold bracelet with bells?" ”

"Mother's bracelet is here." Yunxi raised his hand, and the thin white palm was like my red gold bracelet.

"What?" I was surprised, "What are you doing with my bracelet?" "Anyway, I'll reach out and take it back.

Yunxi took a step back with the bracelet in his hand and said, "I won't return this bracelet to Niangniang." The voice turned out to be a little cold.

Looking at Yunxi's unusual behavior, I was a little uneasy and said, "Yunxi, what are you doing here?" ”

"Mother, I know this bracelet is not ordinary, you have hidden something in it. I took it to the imperial doctor and it was an abortion pill! Yunxi bit her lip, and her delicate lips gradually turned a little white.

Yunxi will suddenly be like this, it must be yesterday that I took out the pill and let her see it inadvertently, how could I be so careless!

"Yunxi, you give me the bracelet first, and I'll explain it to you slowly."

Yunxi's cloud sleeves swung like a swing, holding the bracelet tightly behind his back, and said faintly: "No, I won't give it." Niangniang, how can you be so ruthless, this is Your Majesty's child, and it is also your child. Blood is thicker than water, flesh and bone are connected, how can you be so ruthless as to beat him off! No matter how much you don't like Your Majesty, but the child is innocent, how can you bear to hurt your unborn child? ”

"He's innocent, what about me?" Listening to Yunxi's accusation, similar to the condemnation of justice, I finally couldn't help but erupt, "Am I not innocent, I have done something wrong, why should I ruin my life for the sake of my own most hated life!" ”

"Do you know what I've been through in this house? He uses me, designs me, takes revenge on me, tortures me, and hurts me! Even the most precious innocence of being a woman was taken away from him, and guess how much I hate him? How much I have suffered in this palace, how many sins I have suffered, and I have struggled and wandered on the edge of life and death three times, do you know? And all of this is thanks to Him. If I'm willing to have a baby for him, I'm crazy! The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time exploded at this moment, and the poignant words were like incense burners exploding, and sparks were splashing everywhere.

Looking at Yunxi, whose face was so pale that he couldn't speak, I approached step by step, "If I really give birth to his child, then my life will be ruined." In this life, I will live in an endless sea of suffering, living in endless pain and suffering, life is better than death! As I spoke, I burst into tears.

I approached Yunxi, who was pale, step by step, took her hand and put it in my heart, "Yunxi, I have always treated you well and regarded you as a sister." Do you want to see me like this, and you want to see me living in the abyss of pain, never seeing the light of day, struggling and suffering? ”

"No, no." Yunxi shook his head bitterly, "I don't want to see my mother like that, I never thought about it that way." ”

A look of struggle flashed on Yunxi's face, and he reached out with a trembling hand to wipe the tears from my face, and tears filled with tears, "I'm sorry, Niangniang." I don't know, it turns out that you are in the palace and living so painfully! ”

I reached out and hugged her trembling shoulders and sighed softly, "Yunxi, you are the only person I can trust in this palace. Are you going to hurt me? ”

Yunxi's low sobbing voice came from his shoulder, "No, I didn't want to hurt Niangniang. ”

I gently patted her on the back and seduced, "Well, you'll always be on my side, right?" ”

There was no answer, but the bracelet in my hand was silently returned to my hand.

Finally, she was steady.

——

In June 561, Zhou sent the imperial doctor Yin Buxian, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Shangxi, Lu Kai and others to visit the Chen State.

I heard that Zhou sent an envoy to visit Chen, and it is estimated that Zhou sent an envoy to ask for reconciliation and a peaceful truce between the two countries. Chen and Zhou experienced a big battle in Xiangzhou, Bazhou, Zhou was defeated, although Chen was victorious, but also consumed a lot of military and financial resources, and now the treasury is empty, the powerful forces in the southwest are ready to move, the external troubles are peaceful, and the internal worries are about to arise, so it is not suitable to fight again. The two countries need to recuperate and recuperate, and Zhou seeks peace, which is exactly what Chen Qian means.

The delegation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty lived in the post house for a few days, and then received the edict to meet Emperor Chen, and Chen Qian decided to hold a banquet in the palace to receive him and wash the dust.

As soon as I heard that I was going to meet with the envoy of the Zhou State today, I felt a faint sense of irritability and uneasiness in my heart, and when I talked about the Zhou State, I would inevitably think of Yu Wenyong. Last year, Chen Qian threatened Yuwen Yong with a letter to let Princess An Cheng and the prince return to China, Yu Wenyong knew the truth but still fulfilled Chen Qian's wish, let Princess An Cheng and the prince return to Chen Guo, and let Chen Qian misunderstand my relationship with him. Why did he do this? Could it be that this is his plan to confuse the enemy, so that Chen Qian thinks he has mastered his weakness, and he has his weakness in his hands, so as to relax Chen Qian's vigilance and defense, so as to give Chen Qian an unprepared blow in the future?

The chaotic emotions in my heart, the faintly uneasy beating, like the bright microwaves under the blowing wind, sparkling and rippling.

Tidy up the makeup and go out, the banquet to welcome the envoy of the Zhou State is placed in the east hall of the Taiji Palace, and when I Yingying enters the hall, I find that in the main hall, all the ministers and concubines have arrived, and the seats are full, except for me, I have not arrived for a long time.

My face remained unchanged, and I walked towards my seat, and when I was halfway there, I heard a sneer, "Your Majesty also called my Zhou country a barbarian country, with little knowledge and shallow knowledge, and no etiquette. I thought how knowledgeable and profound your country was? But on such an important occasion, your country's love for Ji is also late, but it turns out that the so-called country of etiquette is nothing more than that. The cold tone was full of disdain and contempt.

Looking up, there were three men in black official robes sitting next to the desk, and the one who spoke had bright eyebrows and a cold sharpness in his deep eyes.

This is the envoy of the Zhou Kingdom? Why do you get me in trouble as soon as you open your mouth? Looking at Chen Qian's heavy face and the suppressed anger between his eyebrows, after a little thought, I probably understood what was going on.
