When I woke up from my coma again, I was already in the Zhaoyang Palace in Yunjing. During this catastrophe, due to an early and sudden birth and no one to help me, my pelvis and close parts were severely damaged, and I lost too much blood and weakened my body, and I could hardly get out of bed and move during the whole confinement period. Fortunately, the little princess did not suffer much damage during this difficult process, and was basically healthy except for swallowing some amniotic fluid. After 10 days of careful recuperation, she completely recovered the appetite and vitality of a healthy baby, lively and lovely, especially, she inherited a pair of phoenix eyes from me, big eyes bright and bright, rippling, clear and smart, so that Liu Shen especially liked.

During my confinement, Liu Shen would come to Zhaoyang Palace every day to accompany me and visit his precious daughter. Watching him smile and hold the pink baby in his arms, sitting in front of my bed and teasing, I felt like a world away, and my heart was full of emotion.

The peace of the world is so hard-won, yet so fragile. Why did the founder of Taiping become a threat to Taiping in just a few decades?

How can we make the peace you hand over to us maintain for a long time?

The human heart is unpredictable, and what a huge project it is to establish permanent peace in the human heart.

"I didn't expect that you would be desperate to risk your life to protect me, rescue me, and fight to stop Yang Biao. I met with the crown prince and learned that you had left for the Qingliangshan Palace, and I was very anxious, but it was too late to send someone to stop you from leaving the palace. If you look for it on the road, you may be scared by the grass and snakes, and the news will leak out, which will make you more dangerous. Liu Shen said to me under the lamp.

I said: "On the day I married into Yunjing, the concubine promised the queen mother that she would live and die with the king of Han, share honor and disgrace, take care of the king of Han, accompany the king of Han, protect the king of Han, we married a husband and wife, the king of Han is in danger, how can the concubine sit idly by." ”

Liu Shen said: "However, I don't want you to take such a big risk. If you are harmed by Yang Biao, then, let me be alone, how can I survive in this world! ”

He held my hand and said, "Qin'er, promise me to accompany me through this life and don't leave me halfway." ”

I reached out and stroked Liu Shen's white sideburns, and said lovingly, "Okay." Qin'er must have accompanied King Han until the end of his life. ”

Liu Shen said: "Our little princess has experienced such a thrill before she was born, which makes me feel very pitiful. I hope that she will never experience such a disaster again in her life. I want to give her an auspicious title, just Princess Anping, how about it? ”

I said, "Anping? Very good title. I hope that she, like the children of the subjects of the world, can live in peace and stability for a long time, and be at peace physically and mentally. ”

I said, "It was Qin'er who didn't protect her well that let her land early and be born under such circumstances." Qin'er felt very guilty about her, and she was also ashamed of the grace of King Han. ”

Liu Shen stopped me and said, "What kind of guilt do you have?" In the face of the danger of the monarchy, you did what a queen should do, set an example for the women of the harem and the whole country, and also made great contributions to the rapid pacification of this rebellion. is so loyal to protect the country and the Lord, and after hardships, I gave birth to such a lovely princess for the peace of the royal family, and I want to add your honorific title to show my praise. ”

I said, "King Han is deeply encouraged, and Qin'er is deeply moved." ”

Liu Shen said: "Qin'er, in order to thank you for your hard work, I have a gift for you. ”

I said, "What is it?" ”

Liu Shen took out a bright yellow satin bag with a delicate embroidered dragon pattern from his arms, and he put it in my hand.

He said, "This is it. You will definitely love this gift very much. But, promise me, don't open it to look at it until you're out of confinement. ”

I looked at it and said, "What the hell is it?" ”

Liu Shen said: "Out of confinement, you can open it and see it, and you will know." ”

He said, "This is the king's order, and you must not disobey it." ”

I said, "It's so mysterious." ”

He shook his head and said, "It's not mysterious. It is precious. It's too precious. ”

I said, "Okay. ”

I tucked the bag away in my little jacket.

I asked, "How does King Han plan to deal with Yang Biao and his party?" ”

Liu Shen said: "There is a division that is trying according to the law, and when they have a punishment opinion, the draft will come up, and then make a decision." ”

He said: "Qin'er, this turmoil has passed. Your task now is to recuperate and take care of our little princess, mother and daughter Kangning. You don't care about these things outside, and concentrate on conditioning your body. Now you are not a young girl anymore, if you don't recuperate well during confinement, you will fall ill. I'm going to feel distressed. ”

He said, "You don't know, that day in the palace, I heard your crying in the room, and this heart has been shattered into countless powders. ”

He grabbed my hand and put it on his heart. I felt the heat of his heart and the rapid beating of his heart.

"Even now when I think about it, my heart still pounds," he said. ”

He said, "Get well quickly, Jean." If you are still lying in bed, my heart will not be able to help but be pained and worried. ”

I said, "King Han ......."

Liu Shen approached my face. He imprinted a kiss on my lips.

My face turned red instantly. I bowed my head and said, "Oh, you're so old." ”

Liu Shen said: "At what age, we are also a loving couple. Right. If it weren't for the fact that I felt sorry for you, I would have wanted you to have another daughter for me. ”

Liu Shen said in my ear: "Although there are many women in the palace, I know in my heart that there is no one who can compare to you if she is willing to go to the soup for me like me." ”

He said, "I know that no one can be like you. ”

Under the careful care of the imperial doctors and the care of Liu Shen, a month passed quickly. The trauma from childbirth gradually healed, and I was able to get up and get out of bed, eat and drink as usual, and my pale and blue face became rosy again.

On the day of the confinement, I bathed and changed clothes, went to the Taimiao with my newborn daughter in my arms, paid homage to the ancestors and ancestors, and went to the small mourning hall of my parents' parents to worship and tell them about the birth of their new granddaughter.

Inside was a letter with a yellowed and brittle paper, but the ink was still clear and distinct.

The first time I saw the letter, my heart beat violently.

That's your handwriting!

I could tell at a glance that it was your own handwriting!

Trembling all over, I took the letter out of my bag. 30 years ago, before you set off to die, you wrote your last letter to Liu Shen.

I couldn't wait to read the letter from beginning to end, and in the meantime, I don't know how many times, tears blurred my eyes.

I read your last words with tears streaming down my eyes.

I pressed the letter tightly to my chest.

This is the gift that Liu Shen gave me. One thing from you. Something that carries the breath of your life.

Liu Shen really knows me too well.

No reward for me is as precious as this letter. The imprint of your life is the only thing I will be tempted to get in this world, the only thing I want to get.

Liu Shen used this gift to say to me, he understands, I re-entered the barracks this time, for Liu Shen, but also for you! I went for your ideals, for your last wishes. In order not to disappoint your last wishes, I am willing to smash my liver and brains to pieces, even to risk death while pregnant.

Liu Shen used this gift to say to me that he fully understood, fully understood, and fully accepted.

From that day on, I had something that belonged to you by my side.

From that day on, it accompanied me through countless long nights until the end of my life.

At last, it followed me into the tomb, and in the dark and cold tomb, it was always on my chest, and my withered heart, clinging to it, and together it became dust, and together it became the cloud of history. (To be continued.) )
