In a sharp abdominal ache that was stronger than a knife, my legs went limp and I couldn't move forward. Yang Biao's subordinates, one on the left and one on the right, dragged me forward. In a daze, I felt as if I had been dragged by them through a few steps, a few corridors, and one or two moon gates, and then I was awakened a little by the sound of a "squeak" door, and my mind was a little clear, and I felt a stumble under my feet, and the hand that grabbed my arm was released, and at the same time, someone pushed me hard behind the back, and I was unsteady on my feet, and I fell forward involuntarily, and with a bang, I fell face down to the ground, and my stomach hit the ground hard.

A wave of intense pain rushed down from my womb, and I felt as if my stomach was cracking open in it. I heard my own screams, and then I lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, but I woke up in pain, everything was blurry, and I couldn't see even what was close at hand. I groaned, breathing as slowly and deeply as I could, steadied my scattered mind. After a while, the world in front of me gradually became clearer.

I could see my surroundings clearly. This is a bedroom, and all kinds of decorations in the house use bright yellow colors, so it is judged that it should be the bedroom of Liu Shenxinggong. As soon as I thought of Liu Shen, I was thrilled, and my mind was completely clear. I struggled to sit up, but a hand was held down on my shoulder. I fell back on, on a pile of bright yellow damask pillows. In my moaning, Liu Shen's face appeared in front of my eyes.

He said, "Don't move. Lie down. ”

"King Han?" I said weakly and stretched out my hand to Liu Shen.

He grabbed my sweaty hand and held it tightly in his palm.

"Is the Han King all right? Did they embarrass the king of Han? I asked, gasping.

Liu Shen shook his head. He made a silencing gesture to me. He patted me on the shoulder, soothing me in the throes. He walked away from me for a short moment. I saw him walk up to the rebels' reinstalled doors and windows, look out from the lattice, and put his ear to the door and listen with bated breath under the window. He was listening to see if Yang Biao's people were spying on us outside.

After some inspection, he walked back again.

I watched clearly for a moment, and then vaguely on his movements in the room. After not seeing him for more than ten days, I feel that he has aged a lot, the forehead lines on his forehead have become deep and clear, and even the gray hair on his temples seems to have become completely white. But the expression on his face was as calm as ever, and there was no expression of grief and anxiety.

I held out my hand to him again. Our hands were clasped tightly again.

I said, "Seeing that King Han is safe and sound, Qin'er's heart can be put down." ”

A burst of contractions swept over me, and I straightened up in pain and screamed, then fell back onto the pillow, moaning and sweating.

Liu Shen said: "Queen, why are you here?" You're so heavy, it's too dangerous. ”

I gasped and said, "How can Qin'er let King Han risk life and death alone?" I will come and follow the king of Han. I'm going to protect King Han. If I am here, Yang Biao and his rebellious party want to hurt the King of Han, they will throw a rat into a trap. ”

Liu Shen said: "Why is the queen so stupid! What could be more important than the safety of your mother and child. ”

I said, "Of course." The safety of the world is more important than the safety of our mothers and children. ”

I said, "It's just that the concubine is sorry for the King of Han, and I'm sorry for the child." The child in Qin'er's womb seems to be about to be born. ”

Liu Shen said: "Queen, lie down in peace, don't move, everything is with me." I will protect you. Even if the child is born early, you will be safe and sound. ”

Another contraction hit me intensively, and I let out a roar in severe pain, my head tilted hard against the back of my pillow, my legs kicked uncontrollably, and my towering belly rose hard like a bulging mountain.

Liu Shen stroked my sweat-soaked hair, comforted me and said, "If the queen is patient a little longer, things will soon take a turn for the better." ”

My lips and teeth were trembling, my body was curling up involuntarily, but my mind was becoming clearer.

I twisted my head and dodged Liu Shen's hand.

I said, "Come closer." ”

Liu Shen moved a little closer to me.

My eyes looked straight into his pupils.

I lowered my voice and whispered, "Don't touch me." Who are you? ”

Liu Shen also lowered his voice and whispered, "Empress, are you unconscious?" I am your husband, I am Liu Shen. ”

I shook my head. I said, "You're not him." ”

I said, "No matter how much you pretend to be, I know you're not alone." You don't have the smell of him, you don't have the light in his eyes. He never called me Queen. ”

I said, "Tell me, who are you?" Where is he? What's going on, where the hell is he? ”

As I spoke, I struggled to stand up.

At this moment, I felt a heat in my lower body, and a hot current flowed down, and the mattress suddenly became wet.

I groaned, clutched my stomach and fell back into bed. I couldn't breathe through the pain.

That Liu Shen said: "Queen, your amniotic water has just broken, and the child is about to be born." ”

I gritted my teeth and whispered in a voice that was so painful that I said, "Don't touch me!" Tell me, where is he? Where is it! ”

Fake Liu Shen looked at me. He stood up again. He went to the window and door again. He looked for pen and paper on the table. He brought an inkstone, a brush, and a few pieces of letterhead to my bedside.

He wrote on the paper: there are guards under the steps.

He continued: Minister Zhou Yaoshun.

He pointed the paper at me so I could see it clearly. I looked at what he had written, resisted the pain, and nodded to him. My eyelids and eyelashes were covered with sweat. I gasped and couldn't say anything.

He continued: His Majesty and the crown prince are together, and they have gone to Chen Shouye's army to transfer troops to quell the rebellion, and the army is approaching to surround the Qingliangshan Palace.

He wrote: The minister has been a stand-in for His Majesty for six years. His Majesty personally trained it. There are many attempts, but no one can tell the difference. The queen should not be quiet, for fear of startling the snake.

When I read this, I couldn't help but feel a throbbing in my heart. He has been Liu Shen's stand-in for six years? Six years?! Liu Shen never told me about it. Presumably, he didn't tell anyone about it. I can't help but think of the various wits between you and Liu Shen during Yantang Pass, and sigh deeply: The emperor's scheming is really unfathomable, even if it is the woman he loves the most in his life, he can't be completely frank and hidden. Although you and Liu Shen are both heroes of the world, there are still very important differences between you.

Between Liu Shen's brightness and fairness, there is always a certain femininity hidden. He doesn't have your bright, crisp strength.

Another violent contraction cut off all my thoughts. My mind went blank and my eyes went dark. All I heard was a beastly howl from myself, and the bruises on my snow-white skin burst out. (To be continued.) )
