Chapter 075: Tenderness
As soon as Pei Gongcuofu stepped into the Shuihua Palace, his eyes were attracted by the people sleeping on the soft couch under the phoenix tree. In the first month of Nanxiu, the breath of spring is already very strong. The midday sun was broken into countless pieces by the branches and leaves, and the gold jumped lazily on the thin blanket of flowers. And in her arms is a snow-white puppy who is sleeping sweetly like her.
Pei Gongcuo's heart suddenly softened, he quietly walked to the side of the soft couch, sat on the edge of the couch, stretched out his hand to gently touch Hua Mian's white and slightly flushed cheeks, but saw her long eyelashes move twice, and slowly opened her eyes.
There was a blur in her eyes that had just woken up, and a little inexplicable emotion gradually diffused. For a moment, he even thought he saw a feeling called "love". Eventually, those emotions faded like a tidal wave, leaving only a firm sense of determination.
His heart shuddered, and a bad premonition gripped his heart ventricles. He was afraid that she would say something he didn't want to hear, so he said before she could speak: "We have forgotten all the unpleasantness in the past, and from today onwards I will treat you well, and when you are well-developed, we will have our own children......
"Not anymore!"
These three fluttering words seemed to be a thousand weights, weighing Pei Gongcuo breathlessly, he didn't believe that these words came out of her mouth, he looked at her in astonishment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, but saw her sit up from the couch, and said extremely seriously and cruelly: "We won't have any more children." ”
"Are you weird? Are you misunderstanding you or snubbing you? Seeing that she was silent, he said eagerly, "It's not right for me, I apologize to you, but please never say such things, it makes me more uncomfortable than killing me." ”
Hua Mian only felt that his heart was extremely congested, if it wasn't for deep love, how could an emperor be so humble? What's more, he is still such a proud person.
She said ruthlessly: "You don't misunderstand me, I didn't want to give you a child." ”
Pei Gongcuo looked at her in disbelief, when the sourness in his eyes could no longer resist the pain in his heart, the tears were uncontrollable. Listening to her own words of determination at this moment was a hundred times more heartbreaking than learning that day that she had killed the child with her own hands. An emperor who has never shed tears has broken down in tears twice in just a few days, both for the same woman.
Hua Mian seems to have seen the grief of Pei Gongcuo on the day he slipped again, and today there seems to be something called despair. Her heart suddenly stopped beating as if it were being held tightly by an invisible hand.
She wanted to say something decisive to make him completely dead, but why did it hurt to see him hurt so much? Is it that your heart is too soft to see others suffering because of you? If not, how can we explain it?
She didn't know how long she had been wandering, until a large, warm hand touched her cheek. She met his eyes, but was surprised to see that there was more tenderness than pain. With her palms rubbing, she realized that he was wiping tears for herself. It turned out that he was in tears.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were already clear, and she sighed and said, "The monk said that I have a weak relationship with that child, so why do you have to have a child with me?" There are still so many women in the harem waiting to give birth to you with children, so don't let them down. ”
Pei Gongcuo said in a dumb voice: "But I just want to have a child with you." If you are weak, I will eat fast and pray for you every day. One day he will come back to us. ”
Hua Mian looked at him in a daze, his eyes became more and more blurred, except for "I'm sorry", she couldn't think of anything else to express her mood at the moment. After all, he said what she was looking forward to, but when he heard it, he only felt heartache. She smiled slightly, wiped away the tears on her face and said: "The emperor has every opportunity, and he also has to take care of national affairs, so I will leave the matter of eating fasting and praying for the blessing of the child to the concubine." ”
Her gentle words and soft desire were like a soft little hand, which suddenly ironed Pei Gongcuo's originally desperate heart a little more comfortable, and at this moment, when she heard her say that she wanted to pray for the child, her eyes brightened a little, she was still willing to give birth to a child for herself, right? He was pleasantly surprised: "Is this true? ”
Hua Mian nodded: "It's just that there are many inconveniences in the palace, and the concubines want to ask the emperor to allow the concubines to go to the nunnery outside the palace to chant and pray for blessings." ”
Pei Gongcuo's mood that had just brightened up was watered by Hua Mian in an instant, and there was not even a trace of fire left. He said categorically: "No. If you are afraid of being disturbed, I will order a strict ban. I immediately ordered someone to set up a Buddhist hall for you in Shuihua Palace, and you can recite the scriptures with peace of mind. ”
"Your Majesty, aren't you putting me on the cusp again? Why did I lose my child, didn't you suspect your women? ”
Pei Gongcuo couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, was she clarifying to herself that she didn't kill the child herself? At this moment, the big stone that had been pressed in his heart for a long time was easily unloaded by her words, and the whole person was refreshed.
It turned out that all he wanted was her explanation, and the results behind that explanation.
As for who and how to move his hands and feet, he still couldn't figure it out, after all, very few people knew about Hua Mian's pregnancy.
Seeing his doubts, Hua Mian said, "Maybe the problem is that you are too protective of me at the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet." Women are the most sensitive, and they probably guessed that I was pregnant because I couldn't drink. Whether it's true or not, it doesn't hurt to put something taboo in my diet, if I'm not pregnant, it's fine, if I am really pregnant, I can quietly kill the child in my womb, and I can only eat coptis dumbly, and there is nowhere to complain. ”
Pei Gongcuo's eyes flashed with pain, and he said in a deep voice: "What you said is not unreasonable, but there is no evidence, I can't just guess and dispose of them all." ”
"If it can be proved that one of them did it, what does the emperor plan to do?"
"Naturally, after the big punishment, the title was abolished and sent to the cold palace. I want justice for my child, and I want her to pay for her crimes. ”
Hua Mian smiled sadly: "The emperor should first think about the court forces behind them, which one of them can you move." ”
Pei Gongcuo's expression couldn't help but be a little firm: "You're right, in the past, maybe in order to balance the interests of all parties, I didn't dare to move them easily, but this matter is related to the country, and it is a big crime to murder the emperor's heir, if I am punished, who can stop it?" ”
"Queen Mother." Flower Burma cool and authentic.
"What?" Pei Gongcuo was stunned and said, "Do you doubt the queen mother? ”
Hua Mian said: "If the envoy is Concubine Zhuang Xian, and the Queen Mother tries her best to protect her, what should you do?" ”
Pei Gongcuo's eyes lit up and he said, "How did you find out?" ”
Hua Mian smiled bitterly: "I'm just guessing based on clues. What's more, if it's really her, I really don't dare to let the emperor touch her, after all, I don't want to offend even the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister of the Dynasty. ”
Seeing Pei Gongcuo's eyebrows frowning deeper and deeper, presumably he should be very entangled at this moment, Hua Mian sighed lightly, stretched out his hand to stroke his brow, and said softly: "Let me get out of the palace." I don't want anything like that to happen again. ”
Pei Gongcuo looked at her in a daze, and didn't know how to refuse for a while in her rare tenderness, but saw her little hand slide from between his eyebrows, and touched his cheek comfortingly: "You are the emperor, it's not easy to get out of the palace, if you miss me one day, come and see me." ”
Pei Gongcuo's heart trembled, and he grabbed her little hand into the palm of his hand, but he couldn't hide the grievance on his face: "But I want to see you every day." ”
Hua Mian sneered: "In the days I have been in the palace, it is not common for me not to see you for ten days and a half months. ”
Why does this sound a little vinegary? Pei Gongcuo's heart suddenly burst into flames: "Are you angry? ”
"I ...... Where? Hua Mian might as well Pei Gongcuo would have such a question, and he was a little speechless for a while.
Pei Gongcuo took her into his arms and said in a trembling voice: "It's all my fault, I will never do this to you again in the future." In fact, I miss you very much every day, and I wish I could see you all the time. ”
Hua Mian only felt sour in her heart, obviously she didn't want to entangle with him, but she couldn't get rid of it. She sighed lightly and pushed him away: "The emperor has agreed to the request of the concubine?" ”
Seeing that he looked at herself with a gloomy expression, as if she was very reluctant, she hit the railroad while it was hot: "The emperor said to the outside world that the concubines went to the nunnery to pray for blessings in order for the emperor to be able to spread the branches." ”
Pei Gongcuo saw that she was resolute, so he had to admit defeat and say, "How long are you going to go?" ”
"It's hard to say, it depends on the mood." The thought in her heart was that it would be nice if she never came back.
Pei Gongcuo asked, "When will you be in a good mood?" ”
Hua Mian frowned and thought for a while: "Wait until your harem is clean." ”
