Chapter 31: The Child: The Present and the Future
After a while, Li Shenlan carried He An out of the water.
Seeing this, Bang Chun hurriedly stepped forward and pulled He'an, but at this time, the child had fallen into a coma, except for Li Shenlan and Bang Chun's strength, He'an couldn't exert himself at all.
Seeing that Li Shenlan's strength was about to run out, Bang Chun finally dragged He An into the pavilion. turned around and wanted to pull Li Shenlan, but found that Li Shenlan's top had been submerged in water.
"! Empress! ”
No matter how Bang Chun shouted or stretched out his hand, Li Shenlan couldn't get out of the lake, and he drowned in it when he saw people. Bang Chun shouted a few more times, but saw that there was blood floating on the surface of the lake!
Could it be that Li Shenlan really has a body!
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Concubine Xiang was talking to Yin Chen.
It was not that Yin Chen didn't want to go to dinner with He'an in the morning, but in the morning there was a sudden military situation: the Zhao family's army entered the valley and was ambushed by the enemy, and now the whereabouts of Major General Zhao are unknown.
"Send someone to find it, the later you go, the more auspicious it will be!"
Concubine Xiang has been very emotional since she learned the news, and now she is even more anxious when she sees Yin Chen's hesitant appearance.
"The soldiers on the front line are sent to find it, so what about the Nanban playing with opinions and stitches? The soldiers in the capital used to take ten days, not to mention the cost of round-trip travel expenses, what about the time? Wasn't the past later? ”
"What then! Yin Chen, my Zhao family spilled blood for you, don't you care about my brother? ”
Concubine Xiang is also angry, and she has been talking for two hours, and Yin Chen is grinding and chirping like a girl.
After being silent for a long time, Yin Chen whispered a word.
"What about the Zhao family's secret guard."
"What do you mean?" Concubine Xiang looked at Yin Chen with a gloomy face, and suddenly realized when she was half-sounding. "It's been a long time, you have such an idea."
"The secret guard of the Zhao family has been in the dark for so many years, and I have never said a word. When you asked the Zhao family to fight the army, you also left half of it. ”
"So what? Do you want my father to hand over the Zhao family's secret guard now? ”
Yin Chen was silent, obviously he meant that.
"If you don't send troops, you won't send them, you can't beat my mother's letter and let my father run away, don't care about the safety of your Laoshizi's Daqi, my father's brother's life is important!"
"Zhao Luo, don't know what to do!"
Concubine Xiang looked at Yin Chen with resentment in her eyes, and her fists were clenched tightly in her hands, as if she could crush a cup.
"Yin Chen, I'm not afraid of you, you know. Without me Zhao Jiajun back then, can you sit on this son? ”
The two were arguing, and Father-in-law Hou hurriedly pushed the door open.
"Your Majesty, Princess He'an and Lan Jieyu fell into the water, Lan Jieyu's child is afraid that it will not be good!"
Li Shenlan's child?
When Yin Chen and Concubine Xiang arrived at Jinghe Palace, Li Shenlan was still in a coma.
Because the royal lake is close to Jinghe Palace, the palace people first moved the two of them here to rest. When He An saw Yin Chen coming, he couldn't hold back his tears all of a sudden.
"Father!"
He An was obviously frightened, and sat up in horror and threw himself into Yin Chen's arms, unable to stop crying.
"Okay He'an, tell my father what's going on."
"What else can I do, Lan Jieyu and the princess have conflicts between the two of them. It was Lan Jieyu who pushed the princess down. ”
Shen Jieyu has long been unhappy with Li Shenlan, and when she saw that she could fall into the well, she didn't care about the truth, so she poured dirty water on Li Shenlan.
"Nope! No! ”
Everyone didn't expect He An to open his mouth to deny it, He An was not stupid, and he was still conscious at that time. She saw Li Shenlan jumping into the water desperately and desperately saving herself. He'an is a simple child in the end, and he understands Entu.
"It was Ann who walked carelessly and slipped under his feet and fell into the water. Father, don't blame Lan Niangniang, it was Lan Niangniang who saved He'an. ”
Everyone in the palace knew that at He'an's banquet last night, he refused to call Li Shenlan Niangniang. And now this child is calling "Lan Niangniang", which is obviously not a lie.
"Father's ......"
When He An woke up, he heard that Li Shenlan's child might be gone, and since then He An has been trapped in self-blame. Li Shenlan's child who entered the palace is really gone, and He An can blame himself for a lifetime.
"Father, did Lan Niangniang's baby go to heaven......
When I was a child, several mothers had babies, but every time He An happily looked forward to having younger siblings, the eldest princess told her that the baby had gone to heaven.
Yin Chen's eyes were a little painful when he heard this, and he closed his eyes heavily and took a deep breath.
"Father doesn't know, the imperial doctor is giving you Lan Niangniang's pulse."
Yin Chen really didn't know that Hou Zhong described the scene by the royal lake along the way. If it weren't for the eldest princess and the others who went to find He'an, they met Bang Chun who asked for help on the way, I was afraid that not to mention the children, Li Shenlan would be gone.
Hou Zhong said that when the eldest princess's people rescued Li Shenlan, the bright red on the surface of the lake was shocking.
I don't know how many children have been lost in the harem, and Yin Chen knows what it means to donate blood.
Not to mention that Yin Chen didn't want Li Shenlan to conceive a child, but if he really had Yin Chen, he didn't want to kill it. Flesh and blood, Yin Chen is not so ruthless in the end.
In silence, the Imperial Physician came out of the master bedroom and knelt in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, Lan Jieyu has eaten a lot of lake water, and her body is in the middle of the day, and she has a cold again, and now she has a high fever. But when the fever subsides, the mother will wake up. ”
Where did Yin Chen know what day it was, thinking about Li Shenlan's stomach and asking questions nervously.
"Kid? What child? ”
The imperial doctor was a little confused, didn't the king and nobles have a body in this palace?
"Isn't Lan Jieyu pregnant?" Concubine Xiang was very puzzled.
"Niangniang has no happy vein, the so-called blood on the surface of the lake, one is the wound on the leg that is entangled in aquatic plants, and the other is ...... Niangniang is coming to Kwai Shui. ”
I see, Concubine Xiang breathed a heavy sigh of relief. In any case, miscarriage is too harmful for a woman, and Concubine Xiang doesn't want Li Shenlan to suffer like this.
Seeing Yin Chen's gloomy face, he was about to get angry in the next second, and the queen hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
The emperor was not angry, thinking that it might be that the palace people were frightened when they saw the blood. Lan Jieyu is still young, and she will always have children in the future. ”
What the queen didn't know was that Yin Chen was angry because Hou Zhong told him that the child was gone. As for empty joy, Yin Chen didn't think that Li Shenlan could have a child, so naturally they didn't have hope.
"There is still something to do in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Lan Jieyu will rest in Jinghe Palace first, and when she wakes up, she will come to the Heart Cultivation Palace to report."
After Yin Chen finished speaking, he hugged He'an and went out of Jinghe Palace, and the other concubines saw that they were no longer lively, and they also went out one after another.
Only the queen and Concubine Xiang remained in the distance, looking at each other speechlessly.
"It's okay, it's not a miscarriage." The queen smiled wryly and sighed and sat back in her chair.
Concubine Xiang didn't think about it, Yin Chen seemed to be worried about Li Shenlan throughout the whole process, but she could see that Yin Chen's worries were just superficial.
"What do you think? Look at your absent-mindedness. ”
"It's okay, I just went to the Heart Cultivation Hall and said that my eldest brother was ambushed and disappeared."
"How so?"
Concubine Xiang also smiled bitterly, too many things have happened in the past two days, Li Shenlan is still unconscious, and Concubine Xiang only feels haggard physically and mentally.
"It's okay, the Dog Emperor will not send troops to the Zhao family's secret guards will also help find it, if not, I still have a batch."
The queen knew Concubine Xiang and knew that she was just forcing a smile at this time.
"Don't worry, Zhao Li's martial arts are strong, brave and strategic, nothing will happen."
Seeing that Concubine Xiang still couldn't keep her spirits, the queen was afraid that she would have no intention of taking care of Li Shenlan, so she proposed to move Li Shenlan to Changle Palace so as not to take care of her.
"It's okay, tossing and turning will only make Shen Lan's condition worse, I just pay more attention."
"It's okay, anyway, if you have anything, you can send someone to find me."
Since Yin Chen returned to the Palace of Heart Cultivation, he has no intention of political affairs, Li Shenlan's incident this time really reminded Yin Chen, if Li Shenlan really has a body one day......
"Hou Zhong!" Yin Chen raised his voice and called someone in.
"Your Majesty? Lan Jieyu hadn't woken up yet, and the people from Jinghe Palace didn't come to pass the word.
Hou Zhong thought that Yin Chen was worried about Li Shenlan, so he came in and hurriedly replied.
"I know that Lan Jieyu has meritorious service in rescuing and being safe, you go to the Internal Affairs Office to send an edict to find some people to go to Yongfu Palace, and send all the pink lilies in the flower house to Yongfu Palace. Take care of it, and when Lan Jieyu is well, go back and see a surprise. ”
"Yes."
Li Shenlan didn't know how long she had been asleep, but when she woke up, it was still bright. Bang Chun has been guarding there by the bedside, and when he saw Li Shenlan waking up, he hurriedly raised his voice to call Concubine Xiang.
It is said that Concubine Xiang has been staying in the warm pavilion, afraid that moving Li Shenlan will aggravate her condition, so she simply let her sleep in the master bedroom and rest in the warm pavilion all the time.
"Wake up."
Concubine Xiang was still sleepy-eyed, obviously not resting.
"How long did I sleep?"
Li Shenlan even spoke in a hoarse voice, took the water handed by Concubine Xiang and drank three or four cups in a row before she came to her senses.
"You drink slowly and no one robs you, but you slept well, and slept for three whole days. If it hadn't been for the fever that went away the night before, I'm really afraid you wouldn't have woken up. ”
Concubine Xiang has always been a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and Li Shenlan is sweet every time she hears her nagging.
Thinking of the bright red she saw above her head in front of her eyes, Li Shenlan nervously put her hand on her stomach.
"Child...... Child? ”
"What kind of child, who did you listen to say that you have a body, and it scared me."
"But I saw blood, and ...... My stomach hurt so badly? ”
Concubine Xiang looked at Li Shenlan's stunned appearance and couldn't help laughing.
"You, that's your Aoi Shui!"
"Aoi...... Kwai Shui ......"
Li Shenlan touched her lower abdomen, and she didn't know what it felt like for a while.
was a little happy, after all, he was still blaming himself and sad for this child who died young; A little lost, after all, I thought I had a child and a new life, but now I found that I was not pregnant.
"Don't be stupid, you're just too weak, hurry up and drink the medicine."
Li Shenlan took the medicine bowl and remembered that he had gone down to He'an, saying that He'an fell into the water before returning to the palace, and this time he took water again, and he didn't know how his body was.
"Don't worry, although He'an also fell into the water a while ago, the child's physique is always much better than ours. I had a high fever three days ago, but the next morning, I was fine. ”
"That's good, it's my fault that I didn't take care of her."
"It has nothing to do with you, you don't know if Shen Jieyu framed him for harming He'an at the beginning, or if He'an told the truth and called you Lan Niangniang."
Hearing this, Li Shenlan smiled, and when she thought of He'an's innocent face, she couldn't help but smile: "He'an is not bad, but if you think about it, you are jealous of a child."
"Okay, don't think about it, the doctor said that you still need to rest more, so you can lie down again."
Li Shenlan responded, and her head began to sink again after the joy, and after all, she was cold in the day, and her recovery was slower. Li Shenlan couldn't think too much about it, and fell asleep again after a while.
When Yin Chen rushed over, he saw that Li Shenlan was still asleep, and he didn't know what he dreamed of, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The eyelashes like butterfly wings trembled and trembled, and the defenseless face caused Yin Chen's heart to twitch.
Taking the handkerchief handed by Bang Chun, Yin Chen carefully wiped Li Shenlan's sweat.
"Daddy...... Mother, Ah Ci! ”
Yin Chen's hand moved, and the woman in front of him frowned and called her name, as if she would leave her in the next second.
"I'm here, Shen Lan, I'm here."
Yin Chen's voice seemed to have some kind of magical power, and Li Shenlan really stopped shouting, and even her frowning brows returned to calm.
It turned out that she was so dependent on herself, Yin Chen looked at the woman in front of her, and felt indescribably uncomfortable.
If one day, she knows how uncomfortable she will be.
Yin Chen didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it, Concubine Xiang knew that Yin Chen was coming, and hurriedly came over and called him out.
"I have already sent people to look for it, and I have added a batch of military horses to the front line."
Wouldn't it be good if this was done earlier, Concubine Xiang couldn't help but roll her eyes when she stood behind Yin Chen.
"You don't bully Shen Lan in the future."
"When did I bully her?"
Yin Chen behaved inexplicably, who in this palace didn't know that Li Shenlan was the most favored.
But Concubine Xiang snorted coldly, obviously not believing what Yin Chen did at all.
"You deceived them, they can't fool me, can't you let her go? Is she willing to have this identity, and besides, she is not used by the captain at all! ”
"Isn't she not? Are you a roundworm in her belly? ”
Yin Chen admitted that he really had a headache for Concubine Xiang, couldn't move her, and was angry with her every time.
"Of course I do! Yin Chen, is the country really that important? You've already lost one, do you want to lose another? ”
The more Concubine Xiang talked about the back, the more uncomfortable she became, but she still looked at Yin Chen's "righteous and awe-inspiring" appearance.
"Then you tell me, come and tell me. As the king of a country, I don't think about the country in everything, do I only care about the personal feelings of my children? Yin Chen turned to stare at Concubine Xiang angrily, and his eyes seemed to be eager to eat her.
Seeing that Concubine Xiang was stunned and didn't speak, Yin Chen sneered and turned to leave.
As for who he lost, Yin Chen didn't know how many times he had lost in his life.
Outside the palace, in the most famous Qingguan Pavilion, a woman is chatting with the eldest princess over tea.
"So, it was Li Shenlan who saved the princess? The princess is fine, right? ”
The eldest princess shook her head, "This palace is also in trouble, and now Li Shenlan is also He'an's life-saving benefactor." The rules of the royal family, the kindness of the life-saving benefactor must be remembered for a lifetime, and the original thing is only afraid that the palace will not be able to do it. ”
The man was stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting the result to be like this. But it was only a moment, and the man thought of a countermeasure again.
"The princess thinks that it was Li Shenlan who saved Princess He'an?"
"Isn't it? He An said it himself, could it be that He An wanted to shield a person he hated? ”
The man chuckled, if Li Shenlan was there, he would definitely feel that this voice was familiar.
"The princess said this badly, and Princess He'an said this from the perspective of a child. But the princess thinks about it, what kind of person is she, Li Shenlan, who can disfigure me and be homeless, and can do everything possible to spoil the six palaces. Why can't you harm Princess He'an to fall into the water and perform a bitter meat trick again? ”
Yes, this person is none other than the woman who saved He'an in the first place. There are life-savers on the left and right, no wonder the eldest princess is embarrassed.
"Are you serious?"
"The princess will know if you think about it, and then listen to the princess about the banquet that day, since the two of them were originally married, how can they still be so kind?"
In fact, the eldest princess is good at everything, and she is ruthless and decisive, but when it comes to peace, it is difficult for her to keep a clear head. It also shows his intentions for He'an.
Thinking that there was no evidence for this, the only people present at that time were Li Shenlan and Bang Chun. Second, this person's analysis also has a certain amount of truth, if it weren't for this, if he wanted He'an to treat Li Shenlan kindly, he was afraid that he would waste his efforts for a while. It's not as fast and effective as this, even the eldest princess herself almost thinks highly of Li Shenlan.
The eldest princess couldn't help but look out the window, and the fruit vendor on the street was mixing the fruit that had been prepared early in the morning and was missing.
"If that's the case, this palace will definitely not make her Li Shenlan feel better!"
