Chapter 30: No Death
%&*"; i^
After coming out of Yukado. Meng Hongyu returned to the Qiankun Palace. Shut yourself in your den. A whole afternoon. He doesn't do anything. Just stunned to look at the jade seal on the table for this jade seal. He paid so much. Lost freedom and brotherhood in childhood. Lost love and trust as a teenager. Later. He was finally willing to open his heart to love Xiao Ziling. Now. But it ended up like this.
He personally brought her saffron. He knows. Maybe it's really possible that you're mutilating your own flesh and blood with your own hands. However. For the dignity of the emperor and the purity of the royal blood. He had to. He thinks. As long as he wants. In the future, he and Xiao Ziling can have another child. But. Now the child in her womb is only the slightest suspicious. So. It must be removed.
Even though she would hate him. I will never forgive him again in this life. He had to do the same. Because. He is not an ordinary man. but the king of a country. He's not just a family, a family. He also shoulders the responsibility of the community and the people.
This is the sad and pitiful thing about Meng Hongyu. It is also the suffering that he cannot be for outsiders. Even if Xiao Ziling doesn't understand. Or understand and don't want to forgive him. He doesn't care either. I owe her in this life. Let's wait until the next life to pay it back. Life. He could only be so entangled with her in such a loving and sadistic way. Let her love him, hate him, hate him......
When the day is getting westerly. There was a sunset as red as blood on the horizon. Burn the clouds in the west in full swing. It's been a long time since I've seen such a dazzling and warm sunset. Especially still in winter.
It was getting dark. It was also darkened in the house. There is an unspeakable loneliness in the darkness. He couldn't help but feel scared. I was about to open my mouth and call Li Zhao to come in and light the lamp. I heard Li Zhao's anxious voice coming from outside the door: "Your Majesty. The news from the Xihuatang side said. Xiao agreed...... Committed suicide ......"
What the. Xiao Ziling committed suicide. No. She can't die. Absolutely not to die. Meng Hongyu's heart suddenly rose to his throat. A heart is beating wildly. He couldn't imagine. Ruo's later life lost Xiao Ziling. So. And how is he going to spend it? He has lost Su Zirong. We must not lose Xiao Ziling again.
"Bang". Meng Hongyu slammed the door open. Red-eyed and hoarse, he asked, "How is she?"
"Minions...... I don't know......" Li Zhao replied in horror with his head down. He was in a hurry. I forgot to ask the little eunuch who came to deliver the news......
"Don't hurry up and get ready for a ride." Meng Hongyu roared angrily at Li Zhao. The two little eunuchs standing behind Li Zhao hurriedly went.
I rushed to Yukado in a hurry. After getting out of the car and driving. Meng Hongyu has long been unable to care about the etiquette and posture of the emperor. It's almost "running" into the Yukado. Ran to Xiao Ziling's bedroom. Just stepped into the bedroom. I saw her dressed in plain clothes. Lying quietly on the bed......
Don't......
No. Meng Hongyu didn't dare to think about it anymore. A handsome face turned white with fright. Rush to her bedside. Hold her hand tightly. Even his voice couldn't help but tremble: "Ling'er...... Ling'er ...... You wake up...... "However. Let him call one by one. Xiao Ziling always closed his eyes tightly. His face was as pale as snow. There is not a trace of blood on the lips.
Yunu plucked up his courage. said timidly: "Your Majesty...... The young lady just fell asleep. You...... Still don't call her......"
Fall asleep. This little girl is saying. Is Ling'er just asleep? Meng Hongyu's hanging heart finally landed. It was as if he remembered it suddenly. Quickly reach out to Xiao Ziling's nose to probe. A warm breath gave a hint of warmth to his cold fingers. And the breath. She...... It's really not dead.
He was so excited that he almost burst into tears. She's really not dead.
Only then did Meng Hongyu stand up. Walk outside the door. Then he motioned for Yunu and Xiaoru to go outside the door. He asked in a soft voice what had happened to Yunu. Only then did Yunu tell Meng Hongyu the beginning and end of the matter
Saying. Xiao Ziling instructed Yunu to prepare hot water for her to bathe and change clothes. Yunu felt sorry for her body. Then he said, "Miss. You've just had a miscarriage. The body is empty. Or don't bathe. Just change into clean clothes......"
Zi Ling insisted on taking a hot bath. She said, "At this time. I just want to be surrounded by warmth. Melt the coldness in your heart and relieve the pain in your body with warmth......"
Hot water is ready. Zi Ling said that he wanted to be alone and quiet. So he told the slave to wait outside the door. And then. Xiao Ziling leaned quietly on the bath bucket. Inch by inch, he sank himself into the water......
Yunu stood outside the door. but the heart is always troubled. She pricked up her ears. Carefully capture the movement in the house. A while. Suddenly there was silence. She couldn't hear a single sound. Thereupon. The jade slave pushed the door in a panic. But he saw Zi Ling drowning in the water...... Fortunately, it was saved in time. Xiao Ziling was just choked by the water. Finally picked up a thin life......
Meng Hongyu sat quietly on the edge of the bed. Looking at Xiao Ziling's pale face. Her brow furrowed slightly. It seems that even dreams are unhappy. What the hell happened in her dream? Maybe. She was wary of him and resentful of him even in her dreams. In a dream. Did she also be forced by him to drink a bowl of saffron?
He slowly reached out. I wanted to rub her frowning brow. I want to soothe her sorrows. However. His hands trembled slightly. Finally, he still didn't touch her pale little face. All of a sudden. He was scared. He was afraid that he would reach out and touch her. She'll be like a colorful bubble. Break. Disappear......
Maybe. Xiao Ziling in Meng Hongyu's life. It represents love. His love. Destined to be a colorful dreamy soap bubble. Beauty is beauty. However, it does not stand up to touch. Easy to disappear. In this life. He could only look at it from afar. Watch it refract a thousand rays of glassy light in the sun. But they will never be able to hold it in their hands......
It was completely dark. In the dark. Meng Hongyu lay quietly beside Xiao Ziling. Listen to her faint, gentle, slightly flustered breathing. The left hand held Xiao Ziling's right hand tightly. I want to warm her cold hands. In the dark. His mind calmed down. There was no anger. No panic. There is no jealousy. Now. His thoughts are pure and blank as a child. The mind is thoughtless. Thinking about nothing. Nothing to ask for.
He seriously felt Xiao Ziling's existence. This has been half a year. This moment is the best moment between him and Xiao Ziling. Gentle, calm, warm. No quarrels, no suspicions, no resentments......
Suddenly. He felt her hand struggle slightly. The breath is much clearer. In the dark. There was a gaze as cold as a sword that shot fiercely at him. He knows. Xiao Ziling woke up.
Meng Hongyu let go of Xiao Ziling's hand and sat up. Then he commanded outside the door: "Li Zhao. Come in and light the lights."
Li Zhao entered the house as he said. Light up the palace lamps in the room one by one. Bright lights drive out darkness. Shaking off the cold. However. But it can't drive away the darkness and coldness in Xiao Ziling's heart.
Xiao Ziling's eyes never left Meng Hongyu's face. However. But it was a look as cold as a knife. Knife by knife cut Meng Hongyu's face. If the eyes can kill. Now. Meng Hongyu's handsome face had already been cut to pieces by Xiao Ziling......
"Do you hate me so much?" Long. Meng Hongyu finally spoke. He had already felt the hatred in her eyes. also knew that she was slashing him with a thousand knives in her heart.
"Thank you for the saffron given by the emperor. Now. It's finally what you wanted." Xiao Ziling said coldly. The child is gone...... I'm Xiao Ziling since then. I don't have any worries in my heart...... Seem. I have to thank you......" she called "you," and there was no warmth or nostalgia in her words. "I" is "I". "You" is "you". Nothing to do with it.
"Who allowed you to die." Meng Hongyu asked coldly. Don't forget. Your life and death are in my hands." At this time. Xiao Ziling was sitting on the bed. Meng Hongyu stood on the edge of the bed and leaned over to stare into her eyes. There was no trace of emotion in his eyes. Apparently. He was talking about Xiao Ziling's suicide by drowning.
"Of course. If you don't care about the lives of thousands of people in the Xiao family's nine clans. So. You can kill yourself." He added coldly. There is a victory in the eyes. The smile on the corner of his mouth is as evil as the devil.
Such an evil and cruel threat. made Xiao Zi's face pale with anger. Her lips trembled. Unable to say a word. The smug smile on the corner of his mouth. instantly aroused all the hatred in Xiao Ziling's heart. reminded her of Su Zirong's grievances. Thinking of her child who died at birth. Remembering that yesterday was still in her body. Today, it has disappeared without a trace......
Turn the hatred in your heart into a cold look. Xiao Ziling stared at Meng Hongyu viciously. And then. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I will live well......"
Yes. She will live well. To hate him for the rest of his life. If she's really dead. So. You can't hate him anymore. Wouldn't that be a pity?
"Good." Hear her promise. Meng Hongyu put her mind at ease: she is a smart woman. I hope she can understand his "meaning".
Even knowing that she would hate him. He didn't want Xiao Ziling to die. I don't want her to leave him. At least for now. He couldn't stand the pain of losing her. If one day. His love (or hate) for her faded. Her presence was a trivial matter to him. So. When the time comes, let her do whatever she wants. Let her fend for herself.
"I hope you can live ...... 'well'." He deliberately emphasized the word "good". Because. He hoped that Xiao Ziling could really do well or. Whatever she loves him. Or hate him. At least. That's also for him to live.
After saying this threatening word. He turned and walked away......
