Pain, pain...... The pain spread from a point in my body to my whole body, and I heard my own terrible scream, which was so sharp that I had never made such a terrible sound. I tried to curl up in pain, but my legs were crushed by someone. I wanted to break free, but it was so painful, my body felt like someone had been torn apart, and there was no place for me, but I felt the pain caused by each tear.

"Si'er, Si'er......" Sweat flowed from my forehead into my eyes, I couldn't open my eyes, I didn't know why I was lying here, why my ears were full of bells, drums, and witch crying roars. What about my four? My four sons are dead...... I wailed in mourning, tears running down the sweat that flowed into my eyes.

"There is also bleeding above, and there is also bleeding below, this child will not be born today, and this person is going to die."

"Is the midwife here? People want to die, they can't die in our hands, and if they die in our hands, none of us can live. ”

"Oh, what can I do! Girl, you're trying hard! ”

Someone was holding my head, someone was kneeling beside me and pushing my stomach hard. The pain was overwhelming, and I pushed the person who was pressing on me with all my might, screaming and rolling on the bed.

"Four, four, I'm in pain—no shirts—no shirts—" Something was about to rush out of my body, and it swirled in pain in my belly, and I screamed, only to feel that my internal organs had been completely displaced.

"Girl, you can't do this, it's been all night, you bear with it, the child is coming out."

Child, my child!

I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't see anything clearly, everything was blood-colored in my eyes, thick and light, and the blood-colored light and shadow kept swirling in front of my eyes. I stroked my belly, and my confused consciousness finally became clear, child, my child is coming.

The pain was intense, and I gripped the damp mattress beneath me and arched myself. Xiao Ya'er, A-Niang picked you up, come out quickly, let's go to Daddy, let's go to Daddy together......

"The wound on it collapsed, and the bleeding couldn't stop, what should I do?"

"Don't worry about it yet, the child's head is coming out. Girl, try harder! ”

"Children are less than a month old, and if they are born, they may not be able to live. When the adults die, the people outside will cut off our heads. ”

"Then hurry up and stop the bleeding!"

"What's the stop?"

"Oh, let's just flow, don't care! Girl, if you work harder, the child will come out, you work harder! The woman urged, and I bit my lip, but I didn't feel a trace of pain, and the blood was quickly leaving my body through the wound on my shoulder, my hands and feet were numb with cold, and the unbearable pain in my stomach seemed to drift away with the sad witch song outside the house. No, no, come back, I want the pain of bone splitting back......

I half-sat up, screaming after every gasp and exerting all my strength. I was already hallucinating, and I felt like he was sitting next to me, squeezing my hand, shouting and crying with me again and again.

"It's out, it's out!" The woman cried out in surprise, "Alive, it's a girl!" ”

There was a warm current coming out of beneath me, and then I heard a faint meow like a cat's meow. Without a loud cry, my daughter came into the world wrapped in ugly blood fats. Tears flowed down my cheeks and into my sweaty hair, and I closed my eyes and wept with joy in plain sight.

"Girl, you can't cry, girl, wake up—"

The darkness came so fast that I didn't have time to cry or hug my cat-like daughter.

I was so tired, I was completely unconscious and fell into the darkness, I couldn't feel the passage of time, I didn't feel any pain, everything was still in the eternal darkness. Am I dead? Perhaps, because I wouldn't be able to answer this question without opening my eyes again.

Is the sun going down? Outside the window is the yellow and green spring elm tree with elm. Who was so kind as to leave a window crack for me, so that I could lie here and watch the golden afterglow of the sunset in the treetops. I'm alive, I can still see, but you can't see, you can't see anymore......

"Why do you cry when you wake up?" The thief rolled and got up from the mat next to the couch, "Are you hungry, let someone bring you something to eat?" ”

I closed my eyes, opened them again, and after making sure that what I was seeing was not my hallucination, I reached out and touched the bed: "Where's the child?" ”

"You lost too much blood and fainted for three days, and the palace maid took the child to the nurse, and she will be brought back after feeding. The girl is so ugly, it's better not to look at it. ”

“…… Zhiyao is attacking the city? ”

"What do you say?" The thief laughed and pulled at a strand of his burnt red hair.

"Is the monarch going to war, or is he going to surrender?" I coughed lightly, and all the pain that had disappeared came back to my body, and my body moved slightly, and my shoulder was full of heart-wrenching pain.

"What a bullshit monarch, it's really a yellow-mouthed kid who has no faith." The thief found a water cup and put it to my mouth, "When there is no chaos, use yourself as a tiger, and want to bite everyone who stands in your way; Out of the mess, even a mouse is not as good, hiding in the house all day long, not daring to fight, not daring to descend, very bad. ”

"He was also afraid to die. Yu An...... After Yu An died, who did the capital guards hand over? My father? ”

"Hmph, Ji Chi is trustworthy but your smart father, the guards are now under the command of Simin." The thief poured a mouthful of water into my mouth and sat down cross-legged on the ground.

I took a sip of cold water in my stomach, but the fire in my stomach burned: "Simin only knows how to check households and build registers, how can he know how to use soldiers to defend the city?" ”

"Yes, he doesn't understand, but who made you Jin State Sima a member of the Han family. Although Simin is stupid, he is a public family, and as soon as Dong Shu died, Ji Chi only believed him. ”

"You didn't kill Han Hu and Wei Ju, did you?"

"No, your father wants to kill, but I can't let him kill someone and put the pot on my head. I have sent people from the Han Mansion and the Wei Mansion, and I will never make a fuss about the Zhao Mansion. ”

"Zhao Fu ......" I choked in my throat.

"Most of them died, and some escaped. Hey, I didn't listen to you at the beginning, and this time I'm trapped here, and it's only a matter of time before I die. Do you think that before I die, I will kill all the obnoxious nobles in this city? ”

"Is that interesting? Someone has just done something stupid, do you still want to learn from him? Whether you and your people will live or die is not yet decided. After I had been talking for a long time, a golden flower had already appeared in front of me, and the thief did not notice my discomfort, so he leaned up and asked, "What idea do you have to save me?" ”

"You're here with me, don't you just want to ask about this?"

"Eh, you gave birth to a child to die or live, and I came. I'm a ghost, I'm here, which little ghost dares to drag you. But you woman is righteous, I asked you to save me once, and you really can't stay. ”

I smiled wryly and closed my eyes, and when I had caught my breath, I motioned for the thief to come over.

The thief bent down and put his ear to my mouth, listened to my intermittent finishing, and grinned: "It's a shame that you were still taught by Kong Qiu back then, this idea is too rebellious!" I like it. ”

"It's still not a foolproof idea, and you and your brothers may die."

"It doesn't matter, dying with hope is always better than dying with despair."

I stared at the embarrassed but resolute-looking thief in the twilight, who looked down at his sword.

"Knock knock—" There was a rapid drum beat in the evening breeze, and the thief shrugged his shoulders, pointed the hilt of his sword at the smile on his face, and said, "Look, I'm so happy now, and it's better to have hope than nothing." Let's go, tell Zhiyao's kid to go to sleep. ”

The thief kicked the door with a sword, I struggled to get out of bed, and a palace maid walked into the house with a food plate outside the door, and when she saw that I was going to get up, she was so frightened that she hurriedly put down the food plate and ran over: "The girl can't get out of bed, the midwife and Taishi have said that if it bleeds again, it will really be dead." ”

"What about my child?" I saw her hands empty, her heart slamming down.

Gong Wan smiled: "Don't worry, girl, it was Handan Jun who took it and will come back later." ”

"He took the child away? Where did you go! As soon as I heard the word "Handan Jun", I pushed away the maid and was about to get out of bed, but the maid held me down and said, "I didn't go anywhere, just the nurse." The child is small and eats less, so he has to be fed once an hour. Handan Jun likes the little lady very much, and he will personally come to hug him twice a day, and he should be back soon. Would you like to eat something first? You haven't eaten in days. ”

"Where's the granny?" I asked urgently.

"It's not far away, it's in the mezzanine next door. The girl has something to eat, and I'll go pick up the baby later. ”

"You can help me get the baby back now." I endured the pain and raised my hand to grab the hand of the palace maid.

"Girl......"

"Now!" I shouted angrily.

"Yui." The maid glanced at me, turned around and left in a hurry.

I lost my strength and collapsed on the bed, my eyes staring at a blood-colored afterglow on the beams, my heart beating like a drum.

The palace maid came back soon, she walked to my couch with an embarrassed face, and whispered: "Back to the girl, the child is not with the grandmother, Handan Jun doesn't know where to carry it." The slave has already been asked to find it, girl, don't worry. ”

Zhao Ji took away my daughter, why? I listened to the sound of drums from the city tower in the distance, got up and grabbed the hand of the palace maid and said in a trembling voice: "After the sun rises in the past few days, can the drums sound on the city tower?" ”

"This ...... It seems like the first time. ”

"Which gate are the slaves guarding?"

"South Gate."

"What about Simin's guards?"

"It seems to be the North Gate." The palace maid wiped the cold sweat on my forehead with a handkerchief, and said worriedly, "Girl, you just gave birth to a child and can't sit for a long time, so let's lie down first!" ”

"You prepare a car for me, I'm going to the north gate."

"Out of the palace by car? But you can't do it! ”

"You find a carriage for me, I'm going to leave the palace. If you find someone to chase the thief back, you will say that Nanchenglou doesn't need him, and the king needs him. You've seen me at the funeral, and you know who I am, right? I don't care who you find to do these two things, how to do it, as long as you do it well, I will ask someone to send you a piece of Haizhu as a reward. Can you say yes? ”

"Wizard—" The palace maid took a step back and knelt down, "The slave is just a servant, and can only listen to people's calls, where can he call people?" ”

"It's okay, you go to Youyang's and tell her everything I said, and she will help you."

"The king's wife, there is a sheep clan?"

"Yes, go quickly!"

"No." The palace maid hurriedly saluted, got up and hurried away.
