Even more leaky ticking softly into the ears, like an indistinct heartbeat in the quiet night, I can faintly hear someone sobbing in my ears, trying to open my eyes, but I can't lift my eyelids, my body seems to be filled with lead, and I can't even lift up half of my strength.

She lay quietly, as if her mind was still clear, but the things around her were moving back and forth like a marquee, dappled with light and shadow. The figure was also swaying and unpredictable, she wanted to hold one several times, but felt that the figure flashed, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

A light cloud held her softly, like the cradle of ivy in her childhood.

She went back to her childhood, and in that quaint courtyard, the faint fragrance of medicine was refreshing. Her father shook a white feather fan and smiled softly at her.

"Peony Qinlian and brocade Guigan Bingmu and Gui Shen aliases Qi Conduction Removal Sweet Gui Citrus Aurantium Plus Effect Like a Divine ......"

My father's voice wandered around the ears, like the aftermath of a beam.

The sun is tilting westward, and the old house of the Shen family in the twilight seems to be filled with a warm and soft fireworks.

The aunt held a bowl of steaming wine-stuffed osmanthus balls, and chased after the yard with a spoon in one hand: "Yun'er, take another bite, Mother Zhang cooked it for you, and added a lot of broken lotus seeds, don't you like to eat it the most?" ”

A drooping girl gasped, stopped to watch, and was hugged by a pair of big hands: "If you catch it, if you catch it, will you go and eat with your aunt obediently?" ”

Her father's beard was stiff and stiff like hay, and it hurt and itched against her cheeks. She didn't like it and rubbed her face in disgust, but her father liked it, and every time he caught her, he rubbed her face with his beard.

When the sunset fell in the courtyard, everything was yellow, and my father's face looked very old. She stretched out her hand to touch her father's mottled sideburns, but she threw herself into the air, and the light and shadow flashed and disappeared randomly, along with the old mansion, and was also lost in the long river of memory.

The sobbing sound in her ears became clearer and clearer, and she tried to open her eyes, but her vision was obscured by jade-colored gauze tents.

He was sitting beside her, looking at her with concern. As soon as he saw that she was awake, he hurriedly turned his face away and wiped away the tears on his face.

"Are you awake?" He smiled instead.

"Are you crying?" She stared at him, wanting to raise her hand to wipe the tears from his eyelids, but the arm was too heavy to lift, and she could only smile weakly.

He leaned down and hugged her, sobbed shallowly, and said with a smile: "You sleep so soundly, is there me in your dreams?" ”

She smiled, but her abdomen throbbed, and the smile turned bitter.

"Does it still hurt?" he asked.

"A little." She caressed his cheek, and her tentacles were slightly hot, presumably crying for a long time.

Shen Yunzhen has never seen him cry, even if he was ignored by the first emperor back then, even if the government affairs are piled up.

He had never shed a cry in front of her, so his crying surprised her.

"As soon as I received the letter, I hurried back, but unfortunately the road from Yushan to Kyoto was too far." He looked at her guiltily.

When she was unconscious, he had heard Su Zhaoyi tell him about how dangerous she was when she gave birth. He had also seen women give birth and knew how dire the situation was. He only hated himself, and he couldn't be there for her when she was most helpless and scared.

He heard Su Zhaoyi say that she couldn't hold on, and it was for him that she gritted her teeth and tried her last bit of strength.

He had seen the child, a somewhat thin baby boy. When he returned, the child had already landed one day, his skin was no longer wrinkled as when he was born, he was red all over, squinting his eyes and sleeping.

Su Zhaoyi was afraid that there would be any more incidents, so she kept standing by the rocking car in person, and even asked Zhixia to bring it over for her, even eating and drinking.

The first thing Su Zhaoyi said when she saw him was: "The responsibility of the concubine is finally over." ”

He also knew how difficult it was for this child to come to the world, and it was the two of them who did their best to protect him to come to this world safely.

Su Zhaoyi smiled, with a little tiredness in her smile: "It's all the concubines who are not good, the emperor handed over Sister Shen and the children to the concubines, but the concubines never protected them." ”

He looked at her for a long time, and gently stroked her shoulder: "I want to thank you, if you don't do your best to protect them, I am afraid that their mother and son will not be able to save their lives." I want to thank you very much. ”

Su Zhaoyi did not fight for merit, as soon as the emperor came back, she accompanied her and talked for a while, and then went back to her palace.

Nan Jingpei has been sitting here guarding her, and she was even exempted from the morning dynasty for a day, but fortunately, she finally woke up.

"What about the kids? The concubine had not yet seen him. ”

He smiled and asked Liu February's to bring the child over.

A small brocade was wrapped around a small body, and the corners of the quilt were lifted to reveal a baby's round face.

"Wang Pintang said that this child is two months early, and his body is weaker than ordinary children, but he is quite healthy, and I have arranged for a nurse to feed the prince."

As he spoke, he called a chubby woman in.

"Ah Ruo has seen Concubine Liangniang." The woman bent her knees and blessed her.

Shen Yun was really stunned: "This isn't this?" ”

Nan Jingpei said with a smile: "This is Su Zhaoyi's distant relative, and she has been serving in her palace, she is honest, I look very good, so I called her to come." ”

The woman smiled again: "The slave and maid congratulate the emperor, congratulate the concubine and the concubine on her joy, and the slave and maid will do their best to take good care of the prince." ”

Nan Jingpei rewarded her, so she asked her to go down, and said to Shen Yunzhen: "I thought about it for a long time and gave our son a name. ”

She stared at him, "What's it called?" ”

He smiled and said: "My generation is full of words, his generation is full of the word 'Cheng', our son was born on the Yuan Day, it is the beginning of the new year, so he uses this Yuan word, Nan Chengyuan, the word Xinchu, what do you think?" ”

"Guangya" said that the Yuan is also Jun.

Shen Yun was really stunned, I don't know if this is what he was thinking in his heart. She didn't answer for a while, and then she heard him say, "I only have my first son at this age, and I guess it was heaven who sent a child who obeyed the destiny of heaven to me." The prince, the important weapon of the country, I must stand early. ”

He was about to announce the will of the crown prince, but she hurriedly stopped: "The child is still young, and his temperament and wisdom are not yet clear, and it is really a bit abrupt to canonize now." ”

He smiled and touched the baby's cheek: "My son, temperament and talent are naturally excellent. ”

He also remembered that the child was still young, and he was afraid that he would be hated if he was canonized too early, so he smiled and said, "Since Concubine Chen thinks it's too early, let's wait for the child to grow up before canonizing." ”

He said lightly, but Shen Yun was really a little stunned.

Chen, Concubine Chen?

She stared at him in a daze, and he smiled again: "What? Are you not happy with your new position? ”

Concubine Chen, above the noble concubine, is only in the status of the queen. The middle palace is empty, and the position of this concubine is undoubtedly equivalent to that of the queen.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't care about that. ”

He raised his eyebrows, although Shen Yunzhen didn't care, he cared very much in his heart.

"Your father......" he smiled and said, "I have already sent someone to take him back to Beijing, the Jingwang Mansion in Jingbei is still empty, I have already sent someone to clean up and move, let your father live there first"

Shen Yunzhen was stunned for a while, she thought that he was just dealing with the Jiang family, but she didn't think that he still remembered her affairs.

"Really?" She forced herself to sit up.

He smiled slightly and pressed her on the couch: "How could I lie to you about this kind of thing?" ”

This Jingbei Jingwang Mansion is the hidden residence where he lived before he became the emperor, and now he has given this place to a criminal minister to live, in this case, I am afraid there is only one reason, that is, he wants to rehabilitate this criminal minister!

"I wanted him to live in your old house, but it was in disrepair and some of the people were man-made, making it unsuitable for recuperation. I've already been repaired, and it will be completed in a year, so you can rest assured. He lowered his head and teased the baby, and said lightly: "Your father will be half a hundred now, and someone should take care of him in the future. ”

He even thought of such a thing as renewing the concubine for Shen Wenzhong, and he was afraid that Shen Yunzhen would be unhappy, so he only said that he would ask someone to take care of him.

Shen Yun was a little grateful in his heart, and hugged him gently: "Thank you, Jing Pei, thank you very much." ”

He was also a little heavy in his heart, and held her in his arms with one hand: "I also want to thank you, thank you for always believing in me, I am not afraid of anything, I am afraid that you will be too careful." I only have you and my children in my heart, and as long as you keep this in mind at all times, I am not afraid to do anything. ”

She knew that he was talking about Concubine Jiang Xian's pregnancy, and he was afraid that she would be jealous, so he said more.

Shen Yunzhen gently kissed him on the earlobe: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven naturally wants to enjoy the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, besides, the royal family should have someone to spread out the branches and spread the heirs, what is so much about this?" ”

She also felt a little pity for Concubine Jiang Xian in her heart, this was originally a close contest, but she fell in love with him, and if she violated the forbidden area of the rules of the game, she had to be out.

Nan Jingpei slowly helped her lie down, and said to Liu February: "You go and tell Su Zhaoyi to bring the Chongyi Xu family to Lantai Palace, and I will interrogate her personally." ”

Xu Chongyi was locked up in the violent room of the court for two days, during which Su Zhaoyi did not allow anyone to visit her, so she felt aggrieved in her heart. As soon as I saw the emperor, the tears crackled down like short-term beads.

She lay at Nan Jingpei's feet, crying with tears in her eyes.

Nan Jingpei frowned and gasped heavily.

"Xu, who asked you to send clothes to Tian's children?"

Xu Chongyi lowered her head, feeling a sense of failure in her heart, her original intention was to put all the responsibility on the emperor's head, Shen Yun really couldn't stand the blow and would die of dystocia and blood collapse. But who knew that Shen Yun really had such a big fate, not only alive, but also gave birth to a prince safely.

This result was completely different from her previous plan, and the lies she had made up in order to provoke Shen Yunzhen were instantly self-defeating. Now she is confronting the emperor face to face, she can't frame the emperor no matter what, otherwise wouldn't she be bullying the emperor face to face?

"Concubine...... Naturally, someone instructed. She lowered her head and muttered sullenly.
