Concubine Mei seemed to have expected this question, and did not show any weakness: "I take medicine every day." ”

"At first it was really good, and I was quite happy in my heart, so I was helped to stay and walked around the dormitory. Unexpectedly, after some wind blew, the disease recurred. ”

"It seems that this is my fate. You don't have to worry about me, it's ...... to leave Beijing on the eighth day of June."

Xie Mingxi didn't say anything, just looked at Concubine Mei so fixedly.

The gaze was bright and sharp.

It seemed that she had seen all the fears, struggles and contradictions in her heart, which made her heartstrings tremble.

Concubine Mei has lived in the palace for decades, and she can be regarded as quite experienced. is as mean as the Empress Dowager Li, as deep as the Empress Dowager Yu, as good and forbearant as the dead Concubine Shu, and the shrewd and powerful Concubine Li, etc.

Seventeen-year-old Xie Mingxi, who is in the prime of his life, why does he have such a palpitating and chilling shrewdness and sharpness?

Concubine Mei subconsciously looked away, just opposite the sad and sad Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong shed two tears, his eyes were still red at this time, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Mother, you didn't take the medicine that Mingxi gave you at all." ”

Concubine Mei: "......"

"Why doesn't the mother believe me?" Sheng Hong's heart ached, and his voice was full of obscurity: "Why don't you believe that your son has the ability and ability to protect you?" Even if someone in the palace deliberately wants to keep you, I can take you away. Why do you want to stay in the palace according to the wishes of the people behind the scenes? ”

Sheng Hong is also a keen and sharp person, and he was worried about Concubine Mei's illness before, and he didn't notice anything wrong for a while. These days, I have already sensed that something is wrong.

Sheng Hong continued with red eyes: "The mother concubine is worried that she has become my seven-inch lifeline, and she is afraid that she will drag down her son. I'd rather continue to stay in the Hanxiang Palace to endure hardship. Did my mother ever think about how sad my heart would be? ”

In just a few words, all of Concubine Mei's disguises collapsed.

Two lines of hot tears welled up in his eyes.

Concubine Mei cried bitterly, and her thin hand tightly clutched Sheng Hong's hand: "Hong'er, it's useless to be a concubine." The mother concubine can't protect you, and she will make you worry and worry. ”

"You don't care about the concubine, leave the capital quickly, and leave this quagmire. When you get to Shudi, you and Xie live your own life, don't worry about me anymore. ”

……

The boy easily stopped crying, just because it was not time to be sad.

Sheng Hong's heart ached, and he hugged the thin and inhuman-shaped Concubine Mei and cried.

Xie Mingxi saw it in his eyes and felt sad. It's just that she is cold by nature and can't do anything to cry together. Just silently by the side.

Concubine Mei was weak, and after crying a lot, she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Sheng Hong sat on the edge of the bed with red eyes and never left.

Xie Mingxi accompanied Sheng Hong quietly and silently.

After a long time, Sheng Hongcai said in a low voice: "Mingxi, am I useless?" ”

Only at this moment will Sheng Hong hate and regret himself so much. If it weren't for the fact that he was in a hurry to become a feudal lord, hindering other people's eyes and stabbing other people's hearts, no one would have calculated Concubine Mei.

Xie Mingxi stretched out his hand and gently held Sheng Hong's hand, and the voice that sounded in Sheng Hong's ears was still calm and sharp: "Concubine Shu was given to die in front of the new emperor." According to you, isn't the new emperor useless? ”

Sheng Hong was dumbfounded and turned his head to look at Xie Mingxi.

A familiar beautiful face, calm and composed. Those deep eyes were glowing with a frightening cold light: "In order to become a feudal domain, you and I have worked hard and exhausted. Now, the matter of the feudal domain is imperative and cannot be changed. On the eighth day of June, we had to leave Beijing. ”

"The person who wants to keep the mother concubine is either the queen mother or the emperor."

"If it's the former, you and I need not worry. At most, the queen mother is just a concubine to contain you and me. If it's the latter, you have to be more cautious lest he poison his mother. ”

Strong and calm self-control quickly infected Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong closed his eyes for a moment, opened them again, and regained his clarity and calm: "What you said is true." The concubine is still sick, and she can't leave with you and me, so let her be born in the palace to recuperate. In the future, I will try another way to take my mother to the domain. ”

That's it.

Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. Concubine Mei is still alive...... It's much better than Concubine Shu, who has already died.

Xie Mingxi didn't say such harsh words, and said softly: "We have stayed in Hanxiang Palace for a long time, and now it's time to go home." ”

Sheng Hong nodded, tucked the futon for Concubine Mei, and then got up and left with Xie Mingxi.

When Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi left, Concubine Mei, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes.

Tears slipped quietly down the corners of his eyes. This time, it was tears of relief and joy.

Her mother is cowardly and useless, and her son has suffered a lot of grievances. Fortunately, the son married a smart, capable, calm and self-controlled wife.

It doesn't matter if Xie Mingxi is close to her or not. As long as Xie Mingxi treats Sheng Hong wholeheartedly, she will be satisfied.

Qin Se didn't know when she entered the house, wiped her tears for Concubine Mei with a handkerchief, and choked up: "Don't be sad for Concubine Niangniang, the slave will always accompany Niangniang." ”

Concubine Mei endured her sadness and squeezed out a smile: "Okay." ”

……

Half an hour later, Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi returned to the Shu Palace.

Ah Luo is seven months old, and she is very beautiful with red lips and white teeth. Wearing a red belly pocket, revealing two white chubby arms and legs, he crawled up and down on the mat, turning over from time to time, or giggling and laughing.

Gu Shanchang accompanied Ah Luo to play for a long time, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, but he was not tired at all, and his face was full of smiles.

Hearing the footsteps, Gu Shanchang smiled and nodded Ah Luo's forehead: "Little Ah Luo, your father and mother are back." ”

After Gu Shanchang picked up Ah Luo, Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi walked in.

Ah Luo stretched out her little hand and babbled to hug it.

Sheng Hong loves his daughter like his life, and when he saw his clever and lovely daughter, most of the heaviness in his heart disappeared suddenly. Stretched out his hand and hugged Ah Luo into his arms, and his posture was quite familiar. It can be seen that I have never held a child on weekdays.

"Good Aluo, I haven't seen my dad for a long time, do you miss my dad so much?" Sheng Hong smiled and coaxed: "Hurry up and call Dad to listen!" ”

Ah Luo's black eyes looked at Sheng Hong fixedly, and he really opened his mouth to shout.

Daddy's words are not very clear, as if he is shouting loudly.

Sheng Hong was pleasantly surprised: "Mingxi, mountain chief, listen quickly, Ah Luo will call his father." ”

Sheng Hong finally smiled.

Xie Mingxi's mood also became relieved and light, and said with a smile: "Ah Luo is still young, and he can't shout clearly." After a few months, you will be able to shout clearly. ”

Sheng Hong immediately said: "It's already clear now." ”

Xie Mingxi: "......"

Forget it, as long as you're happy.
