Chapter Twenty-Six: It's Good to Be Quiet

What they pulled out at the palace banquet, Xiao Cong certainly knew it in his heart.

Although he was reluctant to let Qingqing suffer this humiliation in front of everyone, since they had already made such a fuss, they had to let Qingqing speak clearly, otherwise there would definitely be people who would bring up the old things again in the future and make trouble, so he didn't say a word from the beginning, in order to hear what they had prepared.

He wanted to wait for all these people to show their fox tails, so that they could be cleaned up at once, so that no one would appear from time to time in the future and disturb her purity. And he thought he knew her very well, and felt that with her mind, the things they said would not make her collapse.

It wasn't until he saw her tears and heard her say that he wanted to take Sijun away that he suddenly realized that she didn't really care what others thought, as long as she knew that she trusted her unconditionally, then everything didn't matter.

Shen Yun was determined to prove her innocence and lived up to expectations, but the weakness of her body and the pain in her heart were intertwined, and she suddenly lost her strength and felt tired. Is it worth it for them to fight so much, a dying person? Then it is better to fulfill their wish, anyway, there are not a few days to live, let her go quietly by herself, and don't add to his troubles.

Xiao Cong also felt that it was enough at this time, how to deal with these people, he didn't even want to bother to think about it, as for the root cause of all these disasters, Xiao Ling, it was also over, what you hated or not, it didn't matter, it was all over here.

So when Lu Boyan said that Shen Yun had better go to Tangquan Palace to recuperate, he didn't hesitate to think that it was okay to go out with Qingqing to hide.

He made up his mind, so he went to Jingyi to explain the relevant matters to her, and when he arrived, he saw that she was wearing plain clothes, and was stamped on her feet, kneeling under the porch and waiting for him.

Xiao Cong hurriedly went over and helped her up, "Zitong, what are you doing?" ”

Jingyi said with tears in her eyes: "The concubine is guilty, and she shouldn't hide the humiliation of Concubine Chen from Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Cong sighed when he heard this, took the wind in Yulu's hand and draped it on her, led her to the couch again, covered her feet with the quilt, and then said lightly: "This matter has passed, and you are right not to mention it." ”

Jingyi listened, but threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly, crying and saying: "Your Majesty, every time the concubine thinks of the events at that time, in addition to fear, there is only sadness, and the concubine watched the guards take the children out of the palace, thinking that maybe they will never see each other again, their hearts are like knives, and Yayu has not been able to find her back." ”

When Xiao Cong heard this, he also closed his eyes and clenched his teeth.

"After Xiao Ling washed the East Palace in blood, and wanted to attack the concubine and the Liu family, it was Qingqing who tried her best to lobby and we were able to save it, but she... The concubine thought at the time that she didn't resist, but accepted her fate, but when she saw Sijun, she realized that she was suffering in her heart... In the end, everyone was almost desperate, but Qingqing also told us that there was only a chance to live, and the concubine didn't know what she was referring to at the time, until His Majesty's personal guards came to tell us everything that happened during the siege, and the concubine understood what opportunity she was waiting for... Your Majesty knows that every time the concubine is awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, she always sees Qingqing sitting in front of her makeup, holding a piece of white silk tightly in her hand, crying silently, the concubine was really scared at that time, afraid that the next time she woke up, she would see her body hanging on the beam..."

When she said this, she couldn't cry, Xiao Cong was speechless, so she could only hold her tightly in her arms.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how do you call your concubine... How can I tell you that? ”

Xiao Cong opened her eyes, gently stroked her back, and said slowly: "Jingyi, do you think that if you don't say it, I really don't know anything?" ”

Jingyi was stunned for a moment and cried even more.

When she had cried enough, Xiao Cong said lightly: "These are all over, and I won't mention them in the future." ”

After he finished speaking, he comforted her again, and then said, "I want to take Qingqing to live in the palace for a while." ”

Jingyi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine, how long does Your Majesty plan to go?" ”

Xiao Cong was silent for a while, and only said: "Jingyi, after arriving at the palace, I don't want anyone to disturb me, and I don't want to hear anything unpleasant, do you understand?" ”

Jingyi nodded blankly, and asked again after a while, "That... How long will Your Majesty go? There's got to be a time limit. ”

Xiao Cong lowered his head, and after a long time, he said with difficulty: "Two or three years, I also want to be longer." ”

Jingyi listened, first a little confused, and then stunned: "Could it be... How could it be, the concubine thought that she was just in poor health, how could it be..."

Xiao Cong's voice trembled a little: "Mr. Lu said that she had hemoptysis several times, which had damaged her heart and lungs, and when she was born Sijun, she had a difficult birth and collapsed, and she hurt the roots..."

Jingyi was speechless, stayed for a long time, and then said: "The concubine knows, Your Majesty, rest assured, the harem concubines, the internal and external women, and the concubines can still be restrained." ”

Xiao Cong nodded, hugged her into his arms, sat quietly for a while, and then got up and left.

When he returned to the Pujia Palace, he still didn't let people pass it on, this was his habit for many years, and it was the case when he was still in the East Palace, firstly, he was always afraid of disturbing her rest, and secondly, how could this be the case between the husband and wife.

As he approached the inner sanctum, she was leaning against the edge of the smokehouse, flipping through a book idly, when she noticed someone coming in, looked up, and smiled when she saw that it was him.

Xiao Cong looked at her autumn-like eyes, there was no trace of impurities in them, only the starlight flickered.

The emperor took Concubine Chen to the palace for a temporary stay, longer than expected, during which Jingyi and they were also surprised to hear that Concubine Chen was pregnant again, and couldn't help but secretly sweat for her, and said in her heart that this person is really bold, fortunately, the little emperor Ji was born safely, and everyone was relieved.

On the 100th day of Xiao Liangchen, although Xiao Cong was very willing to feast on the ministers, considering Shen Yun's body, he still only held a family banquet in the palace, invited Jingyi and a few of them over, and later thought about it, and wrote an invitation to Su Huaijin himself.

At the family banquet, everyone saw that the emperor was rarely so happy, so they all came to toast, and said that he would let him drink Qingqing's share, Xiao Cong listened to the comers and did not refuse, and drank with them until late, Shen Yun naturally couldn't last so long, and sat on the table for less than half an hour, so he said goodbye to everyone and went to the side hall to rest.

Shen Yun was originally half-leaning on the soft collapse, but when he saw them coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and asked Begonia to cook tea, and said, "Why don't you drink a few more cups of ladies and girls?" ”

Zhao Yue smiled: "Let's let those men drink the wine, besides, it's not interesting to make a commotion over there, it's better for us to talk quietly here for a while." ”

Jingyi also came over and pulled Shen Yun to sit on the soft couch, and asked Haitang to find two big pillows for her to cushion, and said with a smile: "There are no others here, you don't have to be polite, we just want to sit with you, don't let you not rest." ”

Shen Yun saw that they were all sitting casually, so he was no longer formal, leaning on the pillow and chatting with them.

After chatting for a while, Shen Yun suddenly said: "The concubine is so favored by you, it is really a blessing for three lives. ”

Jingyi smiled: "Why did you suddenly talk about this, we are a family, and we should take care of each other." ”

Shen Yun said: "Your Highness is right, in the future, Sijun and Liangchen will also ask you to take care of it." ”

Everyone knew what she meant at this time, and they sighed in their hearts, but they were still smiling on their faces.

Zhao Yue said: "Do you need to talk about this? They are all their own children, and they can still be wronged. ”

Shen Yun smiled and said, "That's not what the concubine meant, the concubine is afraid that everyone will spoil them too much in the future and spoil them." This kid, when it's time to discipline him, he still has to discipline him. ”

Liu said: "Alas, Niangniang also thinks too much, this Chen Liujun is only six or seven years old, and the little emperor is still in infancy, even if the adults have some pain, it is normal." ”

Zhao Yue continued: "Isn't it, if you want to say that Qingqing is the most blessed, she has children and daughters, and we can't catch up with this." ”

Everyone echoed, and chatted about the child for a while, and suddenly heard Liangchen's crying, Shen Yun asked the nurse to hug her over, and hugged and coaxed her for a while, but she still cried, Zhao Yue saw it, hugged her into her arms and shook her gently, she gradually stopped crying, and finally smiled at Zhao Yue.

Everyone smiled and said that they were fated, and Shen Yun had already moved his mind to entrust Liangchen to Zhao Yue, and he had made up his mind at this moment.

At that time, Jingyi saw Shen Yun showing a little tiredness, so she wanted to say goodbye, but Shen Yun said to Zhao Yue: "It seems that Liangchen likes Zhao Niangniang very much, would Niangniang be willing to hug her more?" ”

Zhao Yue saw that she looked straight at herself when she spoke, her eyes were like water, and she knew that she still had something to say to her alone, so she nodded in agreement.

When Jingyi and the others left, Zhao Yue teased Liangchen in his arms and said, "Xiao Liangchen looks more like Your Majesty than his brother, but has he become famous?" ”

Shen Yun smiled and said: "It's because they all say that their daughter is as blessed as her father, so His Majesty gave her Yafu." ”

Zhao Yue also smiled: "Yafu is good." ”

Shen Yun thought for a while, smiled, and said, "Ah Yue, I have something to ask for." ”

Zhao Yue also said with a straight face: "Qingqing, please speak." ”

Shen Yun said: "After I leave, can you please take Liangchen to your side to raise you." ”

Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Since it is your entrustment, I naturally will not refuse, but why don't you ask the queen?" She is a mother-in-law, and she can talk better than me in everything. ”

Shen Yun smiled and said, "Just because the queen is a concubine, even if I don't ask her, she will definitely treat her well." But it is precisely because she is the queen that she can't only think about her own children in everything, if in the future, when the interests of the country and the marriage of her children are involved, she can only be loyal to the country first. ”

Zhao Yue heard this, and smiled helplessly: "So you mean, if someone wants to ask Liangchen to go to kiss or something in the future, I can still help make trouble?" ”

Shen Yun looked at Liangchen in her arms, and said quietly: "I also know that this kind of request is quite excessive, but isn't there no way, if I have the life to live until that day..."

Zhao Yue is also a mother, so she naturally knows her thoughts, and she can't bear to listen to her anymore, but she just promised in a sonorous voice: "Don't worry, Qingqing, with me Zhao Yue for a day, I won't let her suffer the slightest grievance for a day, and I will also find a good family for her in the future, so that she will be safe and happy all her life." ”

Shen Yun listened, nodded and said: "With your words, I will rest assured, as for the future, I don't need her to marry into a rich family, as long as she is guaranteed to have no worries about food and clothing, her husband will hurt people, and her mother-in-law is easy to talk to." ”

Zhao Yue sighed after hearing this: "You always think too much like this, how can your body be so good." ”

Shen Yun said in his heart, he couldn't get better if he didn't think about it, but he said: "Alas, don't always talk about this." Now that you have answered me, I am relieved. ”

So the two chatted a few words, Zhao Yue got up to say goodbye, Shen Yun leaned on the cushion and sat for a while, and someone helped the drunk Xiao Cong in, she hurriedly got him on the couch with Haitang, and ordered someone to cook the sobering soup, and sighed: "Why do you drink so much." ”

Haitang on the side said: "Your Majesty is happy." ”

Shen Yun listened, just smiled, saw his hand stretched out from the quilt, and wanted to bring it in for him, but who knew that the hand was held by him, so she let him hold it for a while, and when the sobering soup came, she wanted to pull out her hand to feed him, but he held her hand tighter, and muttered: "Qingqing, don't go, Qingqing..."

She was helpless, so she had to comfort her softly: "If you don't go, you can't go, but you have to drink some sobering soup first, otherwise you will be uncomfortable tomorrow." ”

Xiao Cong didn't listen to this, just held her hand tightly, and muttered to herself, Shen Yun couldn't, so he had to pull it, and let Haitang feed him the sobering soup, and after a long time, when he fell asleep, he covered him with a quilt and went back to the dormitory to rest.

The next day, Xiao Cong woke up, stretched out his hand and touched no one around him, his heart was shocked, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that it was not in the dormitory, so he slowly remembered what was going on, but his heart still couldn't stop beating wildly, and he called while getting up: "Qingqing, Qingqing."

Gao Qinian, who was standing outside, hurriedly came in and bowed down and replied, "Your Majesty, Niangniang should still be resting in the dormitory at this time." ”

Xiao Cong listened, his heart finally settled down, and the maid waited for him to freshen up, and went to the dormitory, but he still didn't look for her when he arrived, only heard the little palace maid say that she got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen to get him food.

He had to go to the kitchen again, and when he reached the door, he heard Lingxi say, "... looked at me pitifully and asked me to make soup for him, I felt distressed when I saw it, if you see it..."

When Xiao Cong heard this, he cleared his throat, and said as he stepped in, "What are you arranging for me?" ”

When the people inside saw him coming, they hurriedly saluted, but he just waved his hand, came over to pick Shen Yun up, held her hand and said, "Didn't you say it, just let the people do these things." ”

Shen Yun said with a smile: "But our Princess Yongle just said, Your Majesty doesn't like what the people do, she made it herself, and you still don't like it, so the concubine has to go out in person." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Cong glanced at Lingxi, and was about to pull her out, and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense." ”

Lingxi glanced back at him and said, "My porridge is ready, go first, so as not to obstruct other people's eyes here." After speaking, let Zhiluo serve the porridge, and Shi Shiran left.

Shen Yun didn't move, and pulled Xiao Cong with his backhand and said, "Alas, this soup will be ready soon, Your Majesty don't go, just wait here for a while, let's drink the freshly brewed today." As he spoke, he pulled him to the side of the desk, pressed him to sit down, and still came to work on the stove. Xiao Cong could only rely on her, and after a while, Shen Yun served the soup in front of him, and said: "Let's dry it, it's still a little hot", waved his hand to let the servants and maids withdraw, sat down beside him and held his arm, rested his head on his shoulder, and said: "I thought that you were so drunk yesterday, you must want to eat some soup and water when you wake up, and there must be no taste in your mouth, so I thought about getting something, you woke up and eat some warm stomach first, who knew that as soon as I came, I saw that Lingxi was also boiling porridge for the one in their house, He also said that he had boiled some for you by the way, but when he saw me coming, he didn't leave it for you, and then he kept chattering about how when she first came back, you asked her to drink soup when she was sick. ”

After she finished speaking, she raised her head, reached out and stroked his face and asked, "Why did you make yourself so pitiful?" Lack of food and clothing. ”

Xiao Cong held her hand and said: "I don't lack clothes and a lot of food, but I just miss you too much, besides, when you are away, everything you eat is the same, and now that you are here, everything you eat is the same, so you don't always have to work hard to make it for me personally, take care of your body, don't be tired, it is the greatest good for me." ”

Shen Yun shook his head with a smile, took out his hand to test the temperature of the soup, and handed it to him, while saying: "I like to cook for you, so I don't feel tired, watching you eat deliciously, it is even more pleasant to be physically and mentally happy, isn't this the best way to raise?" ”

When Xiao Cong heard this, he just smiled, ate all the soup, and ate it all the soup.
