Chapter Forty-Six: Falling Flowers and Reds

At this moment, there was a strong smell of herbs in the huge Mingde Palace, which was faintly mixed with a hint of blood.

Chang'an opened his eyes slightly, wanting to turn sideways, but he couldn't move. She looked sideways and saw Chu Luo crouching beside her bed, sleeping softly. His expression in his sleep was still not the slightest slack, and between his eyebrows and eyes was extremely tired. Chang'an only remembered the last moment when she was still conscious, and heard that deafening scream. And then, it's vague.

She lowered her eyes and looked around. Surrounded by carved beams and paintings, there is a heavy aroma of ambergris into the spleen.

This is Mingde Palace. It is the Mingde Palace in Chuluo.

She leaned forward slightly, and Chu Luo next to her woke up. When he looked at Chang'an, a glimmer of pleasure flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly overshadowed by guilt. He looked at Chang'an quietly, with the wetness of the tide in his eyes.

Chang'an didn't know what had happened when she was unconscious, or why it was surprisingly quiet. She slowly got up, looked out, and saw so many people kneeling at the door of her temple. In the crowd, there was the imperial physician Zhu Zheng, as well as her cold smoke and evening incense.

Chang An was extremely surprised, and just wanted to ask, but Chu Luo seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and slowly said, "If they are wrong, they should all be punished." When he said this, his eyes were as cold as an arrow, and after he finished speaking, he called out, "Zhu Zheng!" ”

Imperial Physician Zhu took three steps and two steps to put his clothes in, he obviously knelt for a long time, and it was extremely difficult to walk, as soon as he entered the hall, he knelt down in front of Chang'an, bowed his head and said, "Concubine Xian, Weichen should die." ”

Chang An was suspicious and asked, "What are your crimes?" ”

Zhu Zheng looked indifferent, lowered his head, and arched his hand, "Weichen is incompetent, and he can't keep Niangniang's little prince......"

"What did you say?" Before Zhu Zheng finished speaking, Chang'an was already emotional, and he couldn't stop shaking, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu Zhengyi kowtowed, his expression was extremely respectful, and there was a slight compassion in his eyes, "Niangniang has been pregnant for two months, and it was Weichen's negligence that did not protect the fetus for Niangniang." Niangniang's qi and blood are weak, coupled with excessive sadness, it is not a good time to get pregnant, and she will naturally have a miscarriage in the main hall......"

Hearing this, Chang'an's face couldn't help but change suddenly.

Her fingers lightly covered her flat lower abdomen, there used to be a small life here, but how could she, not notice it at all? She finally had a child of her own, but unfortunately, he left before he had time to take a look at the world. His mother, on the other hand, only found out about his existence the moment he left.

Thinking like this, tears overflowed her eyelashes. Her tears dripped down Chu Luo's heart, and in an instant, they filled his entire heart. He felt that his whole heart was being grabbed and suppressed and breathless. Chu Luo took off his robe and put it on Chang'an's body, and shouted to Zhu Zheng, "Get out." ”

Zhu Zheng kowtowed again, picked up his clothes and went out to kneel outside the hall.

Chang'an's eyes were open, and he didn't know where to look. She lost a child, and before she knew it, she had lost his child. How could this not make her heart ache and sad?

When Chu Luo saw her like this, his heart was also painful. He is not afraid of losing his child, he is just afraid that she is like this, and it will make him heartache for no reason.

He hugged her and said in a gentle voice as best he could, "With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." ”

At this time, Chu Luo's heart was still infinitely sad. When he carried her back to Mingde Palace like crazy, Zhu Zheng told him that she was two months pregnant. At that time, he was also with deep joy, he was not a first-time father, but when he thought that he and Chang'an's child were about to come to this world, he naturally had infinite joy. But in just a moment, before he could fully feel this joy, the child was no longer alive.

He left in such a way that Chu Luo was extremely remorseful. If he had known that she was pregnant, he would never have left her alone to return to Lin'an to bear the pain of losing her loved ones. He shouldn't have brought her to the main hall of the draft and watched him choose his favorite concubine.

He stayed up all night, by her side, with her to endure the pain of losing her child, but even so, he knew that it was far less than one-ten-thousandth of what she had endured.

At this time, the sky was already slightly translucent, and a faint morning light shone into the hall.

The bead curtain outside the door moved, and the person who came in was Cheng Dehai. He bowed to Chang'an and Chu Luo, and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Xiao Master Jiang is waiting outside, saying that he wants to come to see Concubine Xian. ”

When Chang'an heard that she was coming, she was also a little moved in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Quickly call her in." ”

Cheng Dehai bowed his head, leaned lightly on Chu Luo's side, and said without saying a word, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor of Xingyun Pavilion wants to see you alone." ”

Chu Luo glanced at Chang'an's expression, tried his best to lower his voice, and asked, "What does he want to see me?" ”

Cheng Dehai said in a low voice, "The slave doesn't know. It's just that Imperial Physician Xiao said that he had something important to tell the emperor alone. After that, he glanced at Chang'an lying on the bed, her demeanor was calm, and she didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two, so she was a little relieved, and said respectfully, "I heard him say that it was about Concubine Xian's miscarriage." ”

Chu Luo's expression froze when he heard this, and he said urgently, "Where are the people now?" ”

Cheng Dehai bowed down respectfully, "In the side hall, the emperor can go with the minions." ”

Chu Luo bowed slightly, walked to the bed, shook Chang'an's hand tightly, and said softly, "I asked Jiang Meiren to accompany you." ”

Chang'an nodded, and when he saw Chu Luo and Cheng Dehai with nervous expressions, he knew that they had something important, and he only watched him leave silently.

Chu Luo entered the side hall, and Xiao Yu was already there. As soon as he saw the emperor coming, he hurriedly bowed down, "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Chu Luo was already worried, where could he take care of these etiquette, so he only raised his hand to signal him to get up, and said, "What do you have to hurry to see me?" ”

Xiao Yu bowed politely and said bluntly, "Weichen learned that Concubine Xian's miscarriage was not accidental, it was done on purpose. ”

Chu Luo's face changed when he heard this, "Tell me everything you know!" ”

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and he arched his hand, "A few months ago, Jiang Meiren found an abnormality on a pot of begonias in the palace of Concubine Xian, so she went to check the details with Weichen, and Weichen saw that the stamens of the large bunch of begonias were coated with musk, incense and cloves......

Before Xiao Yu finished speaking, Chu Luo was already furious, he slammed the table, the shock of the pen and ink was gone, and he shouted, "Who gave Begonia to Concubine Xian?" ”

Xiao Yu's eyes sank, "Jiang Meiren didn't mention this matter to Weichen. ”

Chu Luo's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of fierceness, "Go and call Jiang Meiren!" ”

When Jiang Wanran came, she already knew everything. She glanced at Xiao Yu when she entered the door, and quickly concealed her undeserved emotions, and lowered her head to greet the emperor.

Chu Luo looked cold, and said to her in a deep voice, "What's going on with the Begonia matter?" ”

As soon as Wanran heard the emperor's question, she quickly knelt down and said timidly, "Concubine...... The concubine didn't know if this matter was related to Concubine Xian's miscarriage...... It's just that Concubine Xian's child is not clear, which really makes the concubine feel sad......"

Chu Luo heard the mention of Chang'an's lost child, and there was also a stabbing pain in his heart, and he suddenly interrupted, "I ask you, who did it?" ”

"The concubine listened to what the virtuous concubine said...... Say it......" Jiang Wanran whimpered a few times, as if it was extremely difficult to speak, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "It was given by the queen." ”

Chu Luo's face suddenly turned cold as ice, and his heart was already furious, he didn't care about it, so he raised his voice and said, "Cheng Dehai!" ”

Cheng Dehai has been guarding outside the hall, listening to the emperor's anger, he knew that it must be bad, so he hurriedly entered the hall and kowtowed, "The slave is here." ”

"Spread my will, from now on, the queen will be grounded in the Fengluan Palace, and all the palace people in the middle palace will be punished for three months, without my will, no one will be allowed to see the queen!"

When Cheng Dehai heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The middle palace is the honor of the harem, and now the emperor punishes the queen like this, presumably he must have violated the emperor's taboo. He didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly went to Fengluan Palace to deliver the decree.

Xiao Yu and Jiang Wanran both knelt in front of the hall, Chu Luo glanced down at them, and said in a deep voice, "You all go down, I will go and see Concubine Xian." ”

Chang'an has been uneasy since she was called away, she hurriedly wanted to see what was going on, but was stopped by the palace maid who accompanied her, and she was comforted, and she lay back on the bed. As soon as Chu Luo stepped into the door of the dormitory, the palace people retreated with great eyes, Chang'an hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and asked in a lost voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Chang'an's sentence made Chu Luo feel infinite pity. He leaned on the side of the bed, hugged Chang'an into his arms, pressed her forehead against his shoulder, and tears involuntarily overflowed his eyes.

Chang'an felt that Chu Luo was crying. After she met Chu Luo, it was the first time she had seen him cry like this. Men don't flick when they have tears, let alone the emperor of the world. Now, for her and for their children, he is crying like a child. She stretched out her hand and hugged him tightly, and she was also distressed to see him like this.

Chang An raised her face and saw that his expression was still a little tired, she didn't have to think about it to know that he must have been keeping watch in front of the bed all night.

"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." Chang'an reached out to pull him.

Chu Luo took a deep look at her, tucked the quilt for her, and said in a deep voice, "Wait for the next court, I'll go to the side hall to sleep for a while." ”

Chang'an didn't hear his words, and his lowered eyes raised slightly, "Come up." ”

"What?"

"This is your dormitory, why do you want to go to the side hall?"

Chu Luo reluctantly let out a smile, stroked her face, turned over and collapsed, and hugged her in his arms.

"Chang'an."

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry for you."

Chang'an smiled slightly bitterly. She'd heard it many times, and each time it had a different reason. She pinched his cheek and said softly, "I don't blame you. ”

Chu Luo leaned over, dropped a kiss on her lips, and said dejectedly, "After me, there will never be a draft again." ”

Chang'an was also amazed, "This is the rule left by the ancestors, how can it be changed at will?" ”

Chu Luo smiled bitterly, "The rules are also set by people, and I feel that it is not appropriate, so I can naturally abolish it." ”

Chang'an sighed lightly, her eyes were slightly shining, she looked at him stupidly, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say. At this moment, she suddenly felt that with Chu Luo by her side, she actually felt extremely relieved.

He looked at her with a light smile and reached out to clasp his fingers tightly with hers.
