Chapter 336: Standing Still (I)
In the early morning of the next day, Shu'er was woken up by the crisp and melodious chirping of the yellow oriole in Yaowang Mountain, and suddenly felt that the Lingtai was clear, but she immediately noticed that her stomach was empty, and her stomach was growling, and she was so hungry that she panicked. She sat up slowly, looked around, and saw that all kinds of medical books and herb specimens were neatly displayed on the ink bamboo shelf, and immediately recognized that this was the Hundred Poison Hall of Yaowang Villa.
It seems to be many years ago, and it seems to be yesterday, she came here with Zhuge calmly.
At that time, spring was in full bloom, and the ancient magnolia trees in Yaowang Villa bloomed together. She saw the traces of King Zhuge of Wei for the first time in this Hundred Poisons Hall, the first time she saw the King of Shu Wuxi, and the first time she saw the Medicine King Xue Jiuming.
That night, she was kicked off a pool of medicine by Xue Yiren, and after freshening up, she watched the king of Shu Wuxie and Zhuge calmly compete with swords. She was sleepy and staggered, but she still fought hard and calmly climbed to a purple magnolia tree with Zhuge to drink and chat. Chatting and talking, at some point, they fell asleep against the trunk of the tree......
At this moment, when she woke up from a big dream, Shu'er was wondering how she had returned to the Medicine King Villa, when the door of the Hundred Poisons Hall suddenly creaked open. A man dressed as a farmer, with messy hair and ashes, strode in with a bowl of slightly mushy vegetable porridge, but who is it not Song Wang Liu?
Liu saw that Shu'er not only woke up, but also sat up, and was overjoyed at the moment, so he immediately took three steps and made two steps, knelt down in front of Shu'er, brought her a bowl of hot porridge, and said, "Shu'er, you eat some porridge, don't talk yet, listen to me." ”
Shu'er saw that Liu was overjoyed, so she held the porridge but didn't drink it, and asked coldly, "What are you happy about?" Have you found the traces of King Qi and King Wei? ”
Liu restrained his smile, stood up, hurriedly closed the door of the Hundred Poison Hall, returned to Shu'er's side, and said gently: "You haven't eaten all day yesterday, and while drinking porridge first, listen to me explain to you slowly." ”
Shu'er lowered her eyes, looked at the lump of pulp porridge in the wooden bowl in her hand, sighed lightly, and drank spoonful by spoonful.
Liu looked at Shu'er carefully, and saw that her face had recovered slightly, and it was not as pale as yesterday, so he said happily: "Shu'er, you are pregnant." ”
Shu'er was stuck in her throat with a mouthful of vegetable porridge, only to hear Liu say again: "I have told Master Xue that this is my child." ”
The vegetable porridge that was originally like a fish in the throat immediately choked Shu'er. She coughed violently and couldn't speak. Liu stroked her back, and while comforting her, he lowered his voice and said, "Shu'er, don't worry, there is a reason for this." To make a long story short, if I don't say that the child in your womb is mine, then Xue Jiu will probably kill your child.
I don't know why, but when he knew that you had a child who was calm with Zhuge Rong, he persevered in my words and wanted me to order him to kill the child. It's really strange that he wants to do it, but he wants me to bear the blame of this pig and dog! In expediency, I will insist that the child in your womb belongs to my Song Wang Liu. I frightened him and said that the Song army had surrounded Yaowang Mountain, and if he could not make your mother and son safe, I would set fire to the mountain. Then he will no longer consult with me about secretly murdering the child in your womb. ”
Shu'er gradually stopped coughing, but her eyes were teary from the violent coughing. At this time, a pair of teary eyes looked at Liu quietly, Liu couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, still caressing Shu'er's back, and said softly: "Shu'er, in order to keep your mother and son safe, you can reluctantly pretend that this child is mine." ”
Shu'er was stunned for a moment, and the strong joy and sorrow in her heart had already confronted each other in pairs, and there was a big battle.
Calmly, where are you? Do you know? We have children! But...... Will you ever come back and give your child a name? Will you ever see your child? Our children......
Joy and sorrow were both defeated, Shu'er drank the mushy vegetable porridge again spoonful, and slowly calmed down
If it is really as Liu said, why did Master Xue kill me and the calm child? He is close friends with his father-in-law, and like the King of Shu, he calls Congrong "virtuous nephew", and now Congrong's life and death are unknown, how can he bear to harm Congrong's flesh and blood?
Or, Master Xue has always spoiled his daughter, and the Xue Yi people have been focused on Rong Rong early...... She was jealous that I was married to Congrong, and that I was pregnant with Congrong's child, so she begged her father to murder my child.
But if she finds an opportunity to murder me in the future, why should she kill the calm child? If she is sincere about calmness, she should protect his flesh and blood when she calmly lives and dies when life and death are unknown!
Life and death unknown...... Life and death unknown?
Don't...... Xue Yiren clearly knows that he is still alive? Only when she is still alive can she have a reason to murder his children with other women!
Shu'er's hand holding the bowl trembled, and the spoon of scooping porridge stopped in mid-air.
Liu took the wooden bowl, took the wooden spoon in Shu'er's hand, and said with a wry smile: "The first time I cooked porridge, I accidentally cooked paste." I know it's hard to swallow, but I'm not worried about the people in Yaowang Mountain cooking. If you really can't eat it, just wait a while, and I'll cook another pot, and it won't be mushy. ”
Shu'er still lowered her eyes, and without saying a word, she sorted out Fang Cai's thoughts, and then looked up at Liu, who was about to get up and cook porridge again, and asked calmly, "Since you killed my husband, why do you want to keep his child?" ”
Liu looked directly at Shu'er and replied calmly: "In order for you to forgive me."
Shu'er, although I am your husband's killer, I have also become your child's life-saving benefactor.
You don't know, when I found out that you were pregnant last night, I actually had mixed feelings in my heart. But when I found out that Xue Jiuming began to trick me and lead me to order the murder of Zhuge Congrong's child...... All I could do was ecstasy! I think that I am so heinous, but I can be blessed by Heaven and have this opportunity to atone for my sins! I must not lose this opportunity.
Therefore, now in this world, the person who wants to keep the child in your womb the most is me.
I am his benefactor, and he is my benefactor. ”
Shu'er tilted her head to look at Liu, and her tone was disdainful: "How do I know if what you said is true or false?" A lifesaver? Could it be that you're just talking to yourself, making up a story for me, and exculpating yourself? ”
Liu sighed: "Shu'er, whether what I said is true or false, you pretend to be in front of Xue Jiuming, look at his attitude, you will know." Last night I told him that the child was mine, and when he came, you and I played a play of lingering love, a new father and mother. If his face is calm, undoubted, or even full of contempt, it proves that he already knows that the child is mine, and that I have not lied to you. If he looks surprised, doesn't know what you and I are talking about, and tries to give you an injection and medicine, it proves that I did not tell him that the child is mine, and proves that he really wants to murder Zhuge Congrong's child. ”
Shu'er sneered and said, "That's very good. ”
Liu Dao: "You asked me many questions, and I only asked you one question. Xue Jiuming has no grievances or hatred with Zhuge father and son, and even has a deep friendship, do you know why he wants to harm Zhuge Calm's child? ”
