Chapter 378: Why Torture Each Other

Tanglin Guyun sighed: "This time it was indeed my mistake, I have made trouble for you." ”

"It's nothing of trouble," Duanmu Youning smiled, but his smile was a little cold, "The concubine never thought that there would be someone who dared to spread rumors, it seems that the concubine and the queen have failed too much." ”

"No, it's my fault this time," Tanglin Guyun shook his head, "because I said it myself, so it wasn't a rumor, maybe it was because of this that they dared to talk about it in private." ”

Duanmu Youning was noncommittal: "In short, the concubine will never allow this kind of thing to continue to happen, and she must find a way." ”

Tanglin Guyun didn't say anything more, and was silent for a while before frowning and asking, "Youning, you tell me the truth, is it possible for Ru Xue's child to be saved?"

Duanmu Youning thought about it, and didn't dare to draw conclusions easily: "Whether or not you can keep it is not up to anyone, the key depends on Concubine Xian herself, if she continues to maintain her current state, then the concubine really doesn't dare to guarantee that the child can wait until the day of birth." ”

Tanglin Guyun's brows furrowed even tighter: "So, how can we improve her current state?"

Duanmu Youning couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is not something that the concubine can help, now that the Marquis of Anping and his wife have arrived, I hope that with their company and guidance, the virtuous concubine can gradually get better." In addition, it is the emperor who plays a key role. You have to let her know that you care about her and her children, and only if she feels that she is valued enough, maybe she can feel at ease. Didn't the emperor find out? Concubine Xian's gradual restlessness began when she knew that Concubine Liang was pregnant. ”

Tanglin Guyun suddenly said: "You mean that she thinks that Concubine Liang's children will definitely compete with her children for favor, so she suffers from gains and losses?"

"The emperor finally understands the key to the matter," Duanmu Youning nodded, "The truth is that since Concubine Liang became pregnant, the emperor rarely went to her dormitory again, so she naturally thought so." ”

"But I didn't go to someone else's dormitory either," Tanglin Guyun was a little puzzled.

"That's not the point," Duanmu Youning shook his head, "A person like Concubine Xian is destined to only see herself and you, she will only see that the emperor has never gone to her, and she will not care about the emperor at all and has not gone to find others, so she thinks that since she is not the only one who can give birth to a child for the emperor, the emperor will naturally no longer treat her as a baby, which is naturally unacceptable to her." ”

Tanglin Guyun was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone was already a little cold: "That is to say, this is still her own problem, it has nothing to do with me, I am busy with state affairs every day, do I still have to revolve around her all day long?"

Duanmu Youning sighed slightly: "The concubine knows that the emperor is busy with state affairs, but it is no exaggeration to say that the child in the womb of Concubine Xian is the most important state affair now, and the emperor should be distracted even if he is a little distracted by her." Tanglin Guyun turned his head to look at her, and suddenly smiled faintly: "Then can you guarantee that if I really revolve around her every day, the child will be born smoothly? Also, don't you know how to watch it? Can you tell if she is pregnant with a prince or not? If not, why should I bother with all the effort?"

These words were undoubtedly a little sharp, and Duanmu Youning couldn't help frowning: "How can the emperor say this? That's your child, not a tool!"

"To me, he is a tool," Tanglin Guyun said mercilessly. "I have always believed that children are the crystallization of two people's love when they are at a strong point. It should be a happy existence. But do you feel the slightest sense of happiness now? What are those two children for, you know better than I do, what are they not tools?"

Duanmu Youning's heart was extremely uncomfortable, because she knew that in this matter, she was afraid that no one had ever experienced the feeling of happiness, and even if there was, it was short-lived, so false that it was like a mirror, and it was easy to become disillusioned, such as Zhen Ruxue.

Sighing, she smiled bitterly: "Yes, the concubine knows what the existence of those two children is for, but no matter what it is, after all, it is the continuation of the emperor's bloodline, and the emperor can try to treat them with another mentality, and it will not be so painful." ”

"Do you still know that I am suffering?" Tanglin Guyun smiled, but the smile was bitter and full of sarcasm, "I still thought that you only knew how to urge Concubine Zhen to have a child, and you didn't care about my life or death anymore!"

Duanmu Youning looked at him directly, and there was a flash of water in his eyes: "The emperor is blaming the concubine?" Yes, it was the concubine who urged the emperor to appoint a concubine, but why did the concubine do this? If there is still a way, is the concubine willing to keep the empty room alone day and night?"

Tanglin Guyun glanced at her and didn't make a sound, but the pain in his eyes became more and more intense. Duanmu Youning raised his head, tried his best to force back the tears that had rushed to his eyes, and then said: "The concubine hopes that the emperor will comfort Concubine Xian a lot, so that her child can be born smoothly, is it for herself?

Tanglin Guyun was stunned: "What do you mean ......?"

Duanmu smiled condensed, but his smile was more ugly than crying: "Not long ago, the emperor said that he felt that he was the tool of fertility, so if the prince could be born one day earlier, wouldn't the emperor be able to get rid of this embarrassing identity one day earlier?

When Donglin Guyun heard this, he understood Duanmu Youning's painstaking efforts, and perhaps it was at this moment that he realized that the pain in Duanmu Youning's heart was actually much deeper than his.

Moving his body to sit beside her, he gently hugged Duanmu Youning into his arms, closed his eyes and muttered: "Youning, why do we torture each other like this?

Duanmu Youning's tears finally flowed, and he even cried a little: "Even so, I'm afraid we can only choose to accept it, because there are many things in life, and they have always been helpless." ”

The two snuggled together like this for a long, long time, not wanting to say anything, not wanting to do anything, just wanting to be together like this forever.

However, Tanglin Guyun is the king of a country after all, and the decision that should be made is still indispensable, so after a long time, he spoke first, and his eyes flashed with determination: "Youning, I understand what you mean, you want to say that long pain is better than short pain, right? In this case, you might as well tell me the truth, is it possible to keep the prince that Concubine Xian is pregnant? If so, then I can give her a little peace of mind as you said, so that the child can be born smoothly." If you can't keep it at all, then find another way. ”

Duanmu Youning shook his head: "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine has never tried the pulse for the virtuous concubine, and it is impossible to judge the men and women, as for whether the concubine can be kept, it is only a guess, and the emperor should ask the imperial doctor for details." ”

Tanglin Guyun nodded: "Okay, you can rest, I will go to the imperial doctor to ask." ”

After saying that, he got up and left, Duanmu Youning only felt exhausted, and leaned on the couch without moving. Although she had reservations, she really hoped that Zhen Ruxue could give birth to this child, and sincerely hoped that she would be a prince, so that as Donglin Guyun said, no matter whether the curse of heaven can end or not, no one will make a fuss about this matter anymore.

When will the damned damn damnation end?

Helping Zhen Ruxue back to the dormitory, Qiao Lianying was worried all the way. I haven't seen her for a few months, Zhen Ruxue seems to have completely changed as a person, she no longer has that innocent and lovely smile on her face, and even her originally round and jade face is not skinny, and she is simply skinny!

Even if pregnancy is really hard, it won't be to such an extent, right? Even half a life is almost gone, what happened?

Returning to the dormitory and helping her to sit down, Qiao Lianying couldn't wait to speak: "Ru Xue, didn't you always say that you were very good and happy when you wrote to me before, and the emperor also loves you very much? Why don't I look like it at all?"

Zhen Ruxue raised her head and looked at her stunned, and subconsciously murmured: "Yes, at the beginning, Brother Yun loved me very much, not only came to see me often, but also knew that he was very happy after I was pregnant, he gave me the best of everything, and didn't let me suffer a little grievance, he was very good to me......"

These few sentences are similar to the content of the letter she wrote before, it seems that it is indeed the truth, and after a change of heart, Qiao Lianying then asked: "What about now?

"Now?" As the words came out, Zhen Ruxue's tears flowed down, and she shook her head with sadness, "It's impossible, it's impossible now, Concubine Liang is also pregnant, and Brother Yun doesn't love me anymore! He doesn't like my child either, he won't come to see me anymore, I'm so uncomfortable, mother, I'm so uncomfortable......"

As she spoke, she burst into tears, as if the sky had fallen. Qiao Lianying was even more taken aback, grabbed her hand and asked repeatedly, "Really? What you said is true? The emperor really doesn't like you and never comes to see you again? Why?"

Zhen Ruxue was still crying: "Didn't I say it, because I am not the only one who can give birth to Brother Yun, and I have only now heard that Brother Yun has never liked me at all, and the only one he really likes in his heart is the queen mother, so let the four of us enter the palace just to give birth to him, and he doesn't like me anymore!"

Zhen Qingyu and Qiao Lianying glanced at each other, each in pain: Yes, they already knew this, if it weren't for the pressure from all sides, the emperor would not have been able to establish a concubine at all. However, Zhen Ruxue is innocent, how can she be hurt like this if she is such a kind and innocent person? Your Majesty, how can you bear to hurt her like this?

A violent distress swelled up, and Qiao Lianying actually stood up: "Forget it! I'll go and tell the emperor, let's take Ru Xue away! Take it back and take care of it, it's a big deal to wait for the child to be born and send him back!"

"Are you crazy?!" Zhen Qingyu grabbed her, "Do you dare to tell the emperor in this case? Be careful that the emperor treats you for the crime of contempt for the king!"
