Chapter 304: The Fall of Mulberry (5)

I was afraid that Bo Lu would be anxious to reveal Zhao Ying's illness for a while, so I hurriedly smiled and intercepted the words: "Qing Xiang's leg disease is all healed, and the witch doctor in the house is good at medicine, and Xiao Wu doesn't dare to take credit." Although Xiao Wu also has a small skill in treating physical injuries, but the disease of the king is in his heart, and the skill of healing the heart, Xiao Wu is really not as good as the master. ”

"The shaman is humble." The prince smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, only turned back to An Dao: "Today, you stay and talk to the prime minister, and enter the palace tomorrow to see me." ”

"Respectfully." Yu An gave his hand.

As soon as Ji Chisel left, Bo Lu hurriedly asked Yu Andao: "Xiao Shu, if you don't return to the palace after the prince's sacrifice, what are you doing here?" ”。

"Naturally, I came to visit the prime minister. It's really good that Qing Xiang can recover, and Zhiyao is afraid that she will be mad when she returns home today. Zidi, thank you for your hard work. Yu An looked at me and smiled.

"It's not that I'm hard, but it's just that I've worked hard for four children to run back and forth like this every day." I'm a little strange, didn't Yu An really know that Zhao Ying's condition was serious, and Si'er didn't tell him?

"It should." Yu An said with a smile.

Because of the matter of "rolling ears", I can't trust the servants and servants in the Zhao Mansion, but one person really can't take care of everything, so I asked Si'er to come into the house to help. But Dong Shi is young and can't leave his mother at night, so the four sons can only come early in the morning and return at dusk. For more than a month, she was really tired.

I asked Yu An to pick up Si'er in the backyard and go home early, and I followed Bolu to check on Zhao Ying's situation.

The sacrifice was lengthy, and after the ceremony, he was dragged and chatted for a long time, and Zhao Ying was collapsed and bedridden at the moment.

"Zi Huang is not good at medicine, and it is best to ask Yichen to take a look at Qingxiang's illness." After Zhao fell asleep, Beru and I retreated.

"If the king wants to leave the doctor dust in the palace, what can we do?" Burru's face was sad.

"Go and ask Taishi, he may have a way."

"Your Master's ......"

"Let the shirtless go, I can't leave." Since that day when the bamboo forest was parted, I have never seen Shi Mo again, and I don't know how to get along with him.

"Okay." Beru thought it was a little strange for me and Smoke, but he still nodded.

In a hurry, it was half a moon again, Xinjiang entered midsummer, and a blazing sun was basking on the top of the head every day.

Summer nights come late, and even when they do, they are still so hot that people can't sleep. I took off my bedrobe and left only a fine linen coat and lay on the bed, my palms and feet were hot for a while, and my heart was burning. Sit up and look out the window, the smoky gray waning moon has set in the middle of the sky, but the night wind is still wrapped in warm moisture, making people blow, sticky from head to toe.

On such a hot night, it's easy to get cranky when you can't sleep. If you think about it, you really can't sleep. I got up and went to the water urn to get a basin of cold water and wiped my body, and just as I lay down again, I saw a fire in the courtyard. The heat wave poured into the already stuffy room with smoke and dust, and a layer of greasy sweat immediately oozed from my back that I had just wiped clean.

Burning a pyre in the middle of the night, is it because it's not hot enough tonight? I stooped open the door, and a scorching spark rushed in my face. In the night, the flames in the courtyard were already more than half a person high.

"Why are you burning, what happened?" I asked, grabbing a servant who was adding wood to the brazier.

"Wizard, the wife of the world is happy to have a noble son tonight, and the old lord has ordered the whole house to raise candles to congratulate you!" The servant finished speaking happily, picked up a large bundle of firewood on the ground and hurried away.

Happy to have a noble son...... He finally had a sister-in-law of his own, and she finally gave him a child. I looked at the dazzling firelight and the flying sparks, and I was stunned.

Within the courtyard walls of the Zhao Mansion, the frantically burning flames reflected the inky sky above him crimson in less than a quarter of an hour. I climbed barefoot onto the roof, looking at the crowded courtyard in the distance, imagining the bustle and joy there, imagining the smile on his lips as he held the baby in his arms at this moment.

How good, my Hongyun'er has finally become a daddy.

"Qiulan is green, the pepper knot is scorching, and Luo Sheng is full of Junxin...... "I looked up at the waning moon in the sky, and sang the congratulatory song of Hezi word by word....... Husband, my husband, I want your garden to flourish, I want your children to be in groups, and I want you to be happy year after year...... The mournful song blew past my ears, hot tears slid down my cheeks, I sobbed and wiped my wet face, and I had to start singing a broken song from the beginning.

"It's so ugly, do you want to sing it again?" Under the cold moon, in the sea of candles, he walked into the small courtyard in a green coat. I stared through the orange light with tears in my eyes, fearing that the figure in front of me was just a phantom in my heart.

"I said I didn't sing at the beginning, why do you want to sing now?" He looked up at me on the eaves, and at this moment, the night breeze that shook the treetops quietly stopped, and time seemed to freeze in our intertwined sights.

"Because, it's different." I choked up and lowered my head to bury my tear-filled face deep into my knees. I can't be a mother, how can I still accuse him of being a father?

"Ah Shi, why don't you read the letter I wrote to you? I told you a long time ago that it was not my eldest son who was born tonight, so you don't need to shed tears for me. The voice of the shirtless accompanied by the sound of the clothes sounded beside me.

I looked up in amazement: "Not your son?" You'll treat you with sincerity...... How so? ”

"Sincerity? She is the daughter of the patriarch of the Di clan, and the Zhao family married her, with the consideration of the Zhao family, and she joined the Zhao family as a wife, and also had her ulterior motives for the Di clan in the north. After many years of childlessness, I'm not in a hurry, she can't wait. She wants to send me a ready-made sister-in-law to block the tongue of my uncles in the clan for me, why don't I do it? ”

"But that's your son-in-law, and he will inherit the position of your sect master in the future!"

"I know, but it doesn't matter right now." Wuxian reached out to wipe away the tears hanging on my cheeks, and said bitterly, "Ah Shi, I saw Zhiyao's eyes looking at you today." ”

"Zhiyao?" I don't understand why he mentioned Zhiyao at this time.

"Well, when you stand on the high platform for today's sacrifice, Zhi Yao's eyes have never left you for a moment. I've seen him look like that. That year, in the garden of the Marquis of Jin, he shot an arrow to kill a female deer, and became so excited that he stripped off his robe on the spot, peeled off the deerskin and presented it to the king. Today, you stand there, and he looks at you like a skinner, bloody and bloody. And then...... I just understood......"

"Understand what?" My heart ached, and tears welled up in my eyes.

"Understand the reason why you took the 'Xizi Pill'." Wuxian frowned, as if he had exhausted all his strength to say those three words, "You didn't take the 'Xizi Pill' to punish me because you misunderstood that Di Nu was pregnant with my child, you are afraid that you will become the second of your mother, you are afraid that I will not be able to protect you in the future, and you will not be able to protect our children, right?" His sad gaze fell on my lower abdomen, and he knew that it was cold, and that it could no longer give birth to the warm and beautiful dreams in his heart.

I only cried because he was right. Even if I read the letter he wrote to me, even if I knew that Ya Ya's child was not his, I was still Zhao Ji's daughter, and their Zhao family was the remnant of Handan. I can't be his wife, and if I don't care for revenge, my father won't care if I live or die. In this world, only Zhiyao, who loves to peel his skin, will always think about me, because he is the only one who is waiting to one day disembowelment me and take my child, so that he can live forever and swallow the Jin Kingdom alone. How can I have my own children in such a situation? If I can't protect my child, I'd rather not let him come into this world.

"Hongyun'er, you can complain about my cruelty, blame me for being ruthless, I am a greedy and fearful of death, selfish and despicable woman. I don't deserve your sincerity for me. ”

"No, I let you down, I was wrong, I was wrong a long, long time ago." Wuxian got up and knelt in front of me, raised his hand to hold my face, "Ah Shi, I know that everything is bad for you now, but I beg you to believe me, this will not be forever, I will let all the pain pass." As long as you and I remain sincere, our future will still be as beautiful as we imagined back then. There's you, there's me, there's home. ”

"Hongyun'er, don't lie to yourself anymore. You have your destiny, and I have mine. As soon as we parted from Luoxing Lake, we should have separated, but we had to twist our fate together. Now that it's tightly entangled, if you want to separate again, you have to tear something off the belt......"

"So you're tearing yourself apart? You think you can leave me like this?! ”

"Husband, have children, let me go!" I wiped away my tears and looked at the man I loved but couldn't.

"No, you're dreaming! There is a tree in the south, and the kudzu lingers. This is the song you sang to me on the second day of our wedding. The vine is wrapped around the tree, the tree is wrapped around the vine, Ah Shi, I tell you, in this life and this life, I Zhao Wuxian will rest with you until death! ”

In this life, we will rest until we die...... Why bother, why bother.

This night, Wuxian hugged me tightly, he said a lot, I said very little, vaguely remember the moment I closed my eyes, the crimson sky had returned to its former dawn appearance.

Bolu's eldest son, Zhao Zhou, was quietly sent away without a shirt on the third day after the birth of Zhao's grandson. Where did it go? Nobody knows. There are many curious people in the house, but no one can guess the thoughts of their own son. If you want to maintain the status of the newborn son, then shouldn't it be the son of the eldest daughter-in-law Xun Ji who should be sent away, or should be disposed of? Zhao Zhou, the son of a concubine, alive or dead, what is the difference?

The man of good deeds loaded a basket of gossip and went to Berlul. Boru didn't know where his son was sent without a shirt, he only knew that what his Red Cloud was going to do was what he wanted to fully support.

I am the only one in this mansion who knows that Zhao Zhou was secretly sent to Lu by someone sent by Wuxian. He will worship in Confucius, take Duanmu Ci and Bu Shang as teachers, and learn the way of governing the country and the family. After that, he will be sent to the Qi Kingdom to study swordsmanship with the children of the Gao family.

"Ah Shi, you have no children and no daughters in this life, and I, Zhao Wuxian, have no children and no daughters in this life. After a hundred years, I will return the Zhao family to my brother. "These are the words he whispered in my ear at the dawn of that day, and a word was about to give up what he had guarded all his life. There is no sweeter and more absurd lie in this world. Power, glory, in this world, fathers and sons kill each other, brothers kill each other, isn't it that little bit of blood that men are fighting for? He got this position with all his blood, how could he be willing to give everything to someone else's son?

But he said: "Ah Shi, except for you, there is nothing in this world that I can't reluctant; Except for the survival of the Zhao family, there is nothing I can't let go. ”
