It's late at night.

Yichen suddenly woke up from her dream, and for a moment she didn't know where she was, only a thick darkness in front of her, crowded from all directions, pressing on her chest, making it difficult to breathe. After a while, her vision gradually became clear, she struggled to prop herself up, and then she let out a heavy breath, and put her palm in cold sweat on her lower abdomen, only to feel the sound of her heartbeat in a hurry, panicked as if there was a gap in her heart, and she was empty.

There seemed to be a light flickering outside the sash, a soft "squeak" sounded, and the figure came in, and Yichen clearly felt the cold sweat slipping down from the corner of his forehead against his sideburns, and half of his face was wet and cold.

She couldn't recall the dream just now, only that the danger that made people panic seemed to be chasing after her.

The sound of footsteps rubbing against the soft felt was an extremely small movement, but now it was clearly audible.

Yi Chen subconsciously shrank back, staring at the rising shadow on the soft Luo tent.

The curtain rolled lightly, and a slight coldness came in.

"Chen'er." The man's calm and warm voice seemed to shine in the light of day, and he sank into the dark abyss in a trance, so gently but quickly, he immediately dispelled the terrifying illusion caused by the nightmare.

King Fu sat down on the edge of the bed when he felt a sinking in his arms, and his wife's still trembling arms wrapped around his waist.

There was more than ten breaths of apprehension, and King Fu gently curled the corners of his lips.

His wife has always been dignified and virtuous, even when the two are alone, they rarely take the initiative to be intimate, Fu Wang still remembers that he was newly married at that time, once he returned from outside, and saw her sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, with a few scattered magnolia scattered on her shoulders, the sunset shined through Ke Ye flashed on her meticulous sideburns, obviously sitting quietly, but the whole person was so bright and bright, it seemed to hear the footsteps, she raised her eyes, her eyes touched him, he clearly felt that life was really different, he had a wife, a home, and no longer lonely and lonely.

He remembered that she came forward with a smile, her soft eyes sank into his eyes, and his heart seemed to be swept up by a sudden gust of south wind, and the carved beams, flowers and leaves, and brilliant shadows in the back were all blurred, and the whole world was silent, only his heartbeat and her steps, and the breath of the two.

He even forgot about the maidservant who was busily shuttling back and forth under the porch, so he took her into his arms and kissed her.

Until this time, King Fu remembered how flustered his Chen'er was, his face flushed and stiffened in his arms in a panic.

That night, after a happy scene, she seemed to have mustered up enough courage, and reminded him with some shame and annoyance: "The prince should not be like the evening in the future, how many people will see it in their eyes......"

His wife, who never seemed to take the initiative to give her a hug, smiled softly, and put his palm through her loose black hair and around her shoulder.

"Chen'er, my clothes are cold, and I dye them carefully." After all, he was full of reluctance and let go of his wife, and King Fu carefully looked at his wife's pale face with the faint light, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Yichen was still very flustered in her heart, the feeling of the void not falling really worried her, and she didn't care about being shy for a while, but she was still reminded by her husband's words, and took a long breath to calm her drum-like heartbeat.

"Lord Wang, this is just coming back from the outer courtyard? Why is it so late? While asking with concern, he was about to take off the winter clothes on King Fu's body.

King Fu avoided it slightly and pressed her hand: "Don't move, I'll come by myself." ”

Earlier, I heard that Ai Shi confessed to the five princes, and the always gentle Fu Wang couldn't hold back his anger and ran to the torture room for personal trial, Ai Shi was an official slave assigned by the Internal Affairs Office, according to her, when she was still serving in the palace, she had been bought by the eunuch in charge of Jingren Palace, and she had always been the person who was Concubine De, she confessed to several eunuchs who were responsible for transferring orders, and even the house slaves of the Yang family, so naturally there was no shortage of stewards of the Five Princes' Mansion who had secretly contacted her over the years.

Based on these alone, King Fu was still not sure that the person behind Ai's family was really Concubine De's mother and son, because it was also possible that the four princes were sowing discord, and he still needed to make further sure.

That's why I asked the subordinate officials to discuss how to verify Ai's confession.

King Fu had no ambitions, he didn't even recruit his staff, and his chief historian was appointed by the imperial court, and it is said that he was recommended by the king of Chu.

King Fu did not defend the Chu Palace, but he still told the chief historian not to tell the Chu Palace, because he didn't want to implicate too wide.

And this matter, of course, has to be hidden from Yichen.

It's too late, he knows that Yichen has been feeling sleepy since he was pregnant, and he often has to go to bed at the beginning of the morning, and when he discussed with his subordinates today, King Fu didn't want to disturb his wife, and was going to spend the night in the wing room, after all, he was a little uneasy, or went back to the main room, and was asking the maid princess who was on duty at night if she was okay, and suddenly there was a telepathic, elusive feeling, as if he heard his wife's call, she needed him.

When I went inside, I saw that Yichen was really awake, with a worried face.

There have been many changes these days, although he deliberately concealed it and didn't want her to worry, he still let her notice in the end.

King Fu was uneasy in his heart, did not mention going to the wing room to rest, the maids served to wash, went to bed and hugged his wife, stroked her bulging lower abdomen, and suddenly felt a slight beating in the palm of his hand, King Fu was surprised and delighted: "This child is quieter than Brother Shun, and this is the first time I feel that he is naughty." ”

"I hope it's a girl, and Brother Shun will have a sister." Yichen raised his eyes slightly, and through the not-so-bright light left on the side of the bed at night, he looked into the smiling eyes of the person next to the pillow: "Lord Wang, why is it so late today, what happened?" ”

"It's just a small thing, don't worry." King Fu hesitated slightly, but he still didn't tell his wife about the sinister thing that was stopped in time, and the truth of the matter was still uncertain, so he told her that Bai Tian was just worried: "You were awakened by a nightmare just now?" Chen'er, don't be afraid, dreams are often reversed, with me by your side, no one will hurt you and our children, do you believe me? ”

Yichen's heart softened, and the inexplicable panic dissipated, she leaned on her husband's shoulder, buried the tip of her nose in his warm neck, and where the palm was close to was the straight spine under his close-fitting silk clothes, she suddenly felt calm.

His wife today is as gentle as in the past, and the intimacy is very different, so that King Fu is like drinking sweet, he bowed his head slightly, and accurately kissed the corners of the lips of the person in his arms who were slightly dry because he was pregnant, and the tip of his tongue gently moistened her, and gradually his heartbeat intensified, his breath was disordered, and the two bodies were entangled, and they kissed for a long time.

"Haoqi."

When King Fu heard Yichen groaning and calling his name, the fingers that had slipped into her shirt trembled slightly, and he hugged the person more tightly in his arms.

"Hao Qi, I'm useless, I can't help you with anything......" Under the enthusiasm of her husband, Yi Chen seemed to have forgotten her shyness, her hand gently lifted the hem of his waist, stroked the spine, and went up to the root of his hair: "If I were smarter, I might be able to help you, but not only can't, but I also hurt you......"

Before she finished speaking, her lips met his scorching temperature, such a gentle and affectionate kiss, without desire but to soothe, a sigh was only in the bottom of her heart, like a water weed, and gradually quiet.

"Chen'er." It was a long time before I heard him speak: "Don't say these guilty words again, you know? In fact, I always thought that I was the most useless person in the world, and when I was born, I brought death to my mother, my grandfather never looked at me squarely, and my father did not like me, and I knew that I was hated by people from the time I was governor. ”

"The nurse once said that my biological mother is a despicable person, but she has no self-knowledge, she used dirty and obscene means to conceive the emperor's heir, and she deserves to be executed, although I am a prince, I have always been ridiculed coldly, no one looks down on me, and the mercy of others is kind to me."

"But Chen'er, only you will look at me so gently, will treat me sincerely, you have never regretted marrying such a useless person as me, silly girl, you are the eldest granddaughter of your aunt and grandmother, your family is so prominent, why did you choose me in the first place?"

King Fu let go of his embrace slightly, and stroked the corners of his wife's wet red eyes with his palm: "Even if I have to be crowned prince, I am also stained with your light, Chen'er, because of my incompetence, when you were ridiculed by the fourth brother and sister and those noble ladies, didn't you regret your original choice?" ”

Yichen's heart was like a sharp knife cutting a gap, the pain rushed to her throat, her tears slipped down, and at this moment she just wanted to hug her husband tightly: "You are not allowed to say that, Hao Qi, you are the kindest and best person in the world, how glad I was to make the original choice, those who laughed at me were jealous of me, because they couldn't get their husband's single-mindedness, because they would always live in jealousy, even if they were scheming, they couldn't get their husband's true affection, so they were jealous of me, saying that I wasn't beautiful enough and not smart enough, But to be in harmony with you, to be able to tie your hair, and to be your wife is the luckiest thing in my life. ”

"So Chen'er, never feel guilty, because to be able to marry you, it is also the most fortunate thing in my life, with you with me, no regrets, because of you, I know what happiness feels like, Chen'er, whenever I look at Brother Shun, I think of him as a child of the two of us, he has you and my blood in his body, he will grow up, and then marry a wife, and continue our lives from generation to generation, only to know that this is happiness, you are my real relatives, there is nothing more important in this world than you, because of you, I am grateful to God for allowing me to be born in the royal family, because if I am not the prince, I can only miss with you. ”

Feeling that his shoulders were full of dampness and heat, King Fu lowered his head slightly and kissed away the tears on his wife's cheeks: "It's all my fault, you see, I'm also clumsy, I wanted to comfort you, but I made you cry, don't be sad, when a mother is sad, our daughter will also be sad, she is still so young, I can't bear to make her sad...... Chen'er, if you want to be in the future, how about we name our daughter Xin'an? Xin is a homonym of luck, she will be happy and safe, our family, will be happy and safe. ”

Yichen held her husband's hand tightly, her eyes were still hazy with tears, but the smile on the corner of her lips was sincerely soothing: "Okay." ”

She said, but she was troubled: "What if it's a son again?" ”

King Fu smiled: "Silly girl, I know that you are looking forward to a daughter, it doesn't matter, we will definitely have a daughter in the future." The palm of his hand naturally pressed against his wife's lower abdomen, and King Fu's voice was soft: "Whether it is a son or a daughter, you must learn from your eldest brother, come out smoothly, don't toss your mother too much, otherwise your father will be held responsible." ”

Yichen felt shy in hindsight, bit the corner of her lip lightly, turned over, and leaned her whole back against her husband's warm chest, feeling her husband's warm snort pounce on her neck socket, and her heart was completely settled.

The people in the soft tent were quiet, and the night outside the green screen window was still long.

Many, many years later, when Yichen tossed and turned in the lonely palace and couldn't sleep, she still couldn't remember the nightmare at the beginning of the night, and the only words she remembered were what her husband had said, and she never forgot it until her hair was like frost.

Many, many years later, when she was surrounded by her children and grandchildren, and was about to die, she seemed to return to this night, with her husband's long-awaited, quiet and warm breath in her ears.

So, she didn't feel that death was a terrible thing.

At that time, she took the hand of Princess Xin'an, whose eyelids were red and swollen from crying, and smiled softly: "Silly girl, don't cry, your father said that he can't bear to make you sad...... Xin'an, mother has no regrets or reluctance, your father, I have been waiting for me for too long......"
