Chapter 39: Enlightenment
Yueqiang carried the small tray and cautiously walked into the room, because her hands trembled slightly, and a few drops of the medicine in the bowl spilled out. As soon as he approached the bedside, before he could speak, Jing Xuan picked up the medicine bowl with a calm face.
"Hot!" Yueqiang subconsciously exclaimed, forgot the rules, and shouted in front of her master.
Jing Xuan seemed to hold the bowl without feeling, looked at Meili who was lying on the bed expressionlessly, and ordered in a low voice: "Drink the medicine!" ”
Yueqiang was in a hurry, the weather was cold, and the medicine that had just been boiled was brought to her, and in the panic, she almost snatched the medicine bowl from Jing Xuan's hand, and quickly threw it on the small table next to the bed, and the medicine spilled out in half. Just such a brief touch had already made her fingers burn, and the few drops splashed on the back of her hand were like unextinguished ashes.
She was a little afraid that the prince would be angry with her, but he just looked straight at Fang Fujin and didn't say anything.
"Go, bring the baby." He commanded in a low voice, not taking his eyes off Meili.
Yueqiang was stunned for a moment, nodded again and again, and ran out in a panic.
Since Fang Fujin came back from the funeral, it has been very wrong, and the prince is even more so! After the doctor came to see him, he also said that Fang Fujin was in a hurry, and the situation was not good. The expression of the prince who ordered to hold the child made her inexplicably afraid, so she hurriedly told Sister Yuemo about the matter and asked for an idea.
Yuemo was also helpless, so she asked Yueqiang to call all the grandmothers, and in case there was anything to do, she went to Kangshou Hall to find Aunt Yu'an.
Huhula came five or six people, Jing Xuan turned a deaf ear, he just stretched out his hand coldly and ordered, "Give it to me, child." ”
Meili didn't react and let him go. The child was also his, and it occurred to her suddenly and wickedly that if he killed the child in front of her, she would tell him the truth!
She closed her eyes, didn't look at the child, didn't dare to look. She's scared...... At a glance, even the courage to die is gone.
The child had just been breastfed and slept soundly, Jing Xuan held him in his arms, and his heart was like tormenting in boiling oil.
"Meili ......" he endured so much that his voice trembled, "Look at him, look at your child!" ”
He owes Yonghyuk, and even more so to her...... He never imagined how he could end up in such a pathetic and ridiculous situation. Looking at her eyes, which were already devoid of brilliance, he finally admitted that he was wrong, and he ...... He should have let her go, he should have let her and Yonghyuk go.
Looking at her tenderness and smile because of Yonghyuk, he was jealous and hateful, but it was better than now. Right now...... He hurts, she hurts even more.
His fingers were already burning and blistering, and the sharp pain made him realize, and now Meili had become a piece of coals that he couldn't hold, even if he clung to it, and his skin was burned, she couldn't connect with his flesh and blood. She could only turn into cold ashes in the palm of his hand, slowly dissipating completely......
The only one who can hold her and warm her up is the sweet sleeping little baby in his arms!
"Meili, I've already given him a good name, according to the ranking, he should be called Yunke." Her eyes still didn't open, her nose suddenly soured, and he gritted his teeth, "You are a motherless person, do you want Yun Ke to be the same as you!" ”
Tears slid down from the corners of Meili's eyes all of a sudden, and there was no mother...... It's too bitter.
He was so embarrassed that he hurriedly threw the child beside her, and got up in a panic, "Let's go!" Let's go! He shouted at the crowd, the grandmothers retreated, he pursed his lips, he couldn't even look back at the mother and son, he was too tired, he needed to soothe his pain.
Not surprisingly, she was still so indifferent when he left. Retribution, he deeply felt the punishment of heaven for him. When he maliciously hurt her countless times, dumped her, let her shout in every way and didn't look back, and even secretly grieved for her loss, he never thought that he would have such a day!
A few small trees in the snow-covered yard were very withered and desolate, and he suddenly wanted to laugh, so he laughed, really...... It's funny!
Yun Ke moved uneasily in the quilt, babbling and crying. Meili closed her eyes tightly, and even turned her back to him, not to smell the good smell of milk coming from him.
She was really emaciated......
Because no one paid attention, Yun Ke cried louder, and kicked his calves like a tantrum, but he was so weak that he couldn't even kick the quilt.
One by one...... His kitten-like cries were like sharp knives cutting through her heart.
If she gives up, he'll be a motherless child...... There is a father, and it is the same as nothing.
Yun Ke cried and panted, and suddenly fell silent after a high-pitched note, as if choking.
When she turned over in horror and picked him up, she also cried...... She can't let go, she can't even die! She patted him, tears dripping down the child's little face, why didn't he come later? Why is he less than a month? Why...... Can't he help her?
Just as she hoped that someone would share her hardships, she desperately knew that only she could help Yun Ke share his hardships in the future!
Concubine, wild seed...... His road is not a smooth road, how can she let go, how can she throw away!
The mother and son hugged each other and cried, Yun Ke returned to his mother's arms, stopped crying for a while, and fell asleep again relying on his mother's warmth, leaving her to cry alone.
"Miri."
The ancestor didn't know when he came in or how long he had been in.
When she came over, everyone was repulsed, and there was only an old woman with a dignified face, a young woman crying in despair, and a baby who did not yet understand despair.
Xiaozhuang didn't sit down, quietly looking at the beautiful glass with her cloak and tear-stained face, she sighed, shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"You've never changed, you're still a stubborn girl!"
Meili sobbed silently, hugged Yun Ke stiffly, and looked at the ancestor who blamed her and pitied her in a daze.
"I've always hoped that you could understand it yourself, but unfortunately, you have never been a transparent child in dealing with people and things!" The Old Ancestor shook his head again.
"After going through so much, you are still so willful and reckless, you don't know how to plan your life, and you still hit your head against the south wall according to your own temperament. You did a good job with Yonghyuk, why can't you change to Jingxuan? "Xiaozhuang is not afraid that she will be sad, and she will never be able to think about it if she doesn't tell her through!" It doesn't matter which man becomes your husband! No one can make you live a carefree and happy life for the rest of your life! Do you think Jing Xuan didn't do it, if he married Yonghyuk, he would be able to do it? Life is full of changes, haven't you already tasted enough? ”
Meili trembled all over, and every sentence asked her heart silently.
"What's more, you're not just a wife now, you're a mother!" Hyo-joo raised his voice, and the reproach in his tone increased.
"You are the only one who can protect your children! No matter what you think of Jing Xuan, he is the father of the child, and the emperor will soon crown him as Prince Qing. This child's future is in his hands! What he can give to this child, you can't! What the hell are you doing now? Your willfulness will harm your children! ”
Meili's heart shook violently.
Yes, she always thought that she had realized the reality of the human world, how could she not think about this at all...... The old ancestor is right, she is still the stupid girl who is standing still.
"Mother......" Xiaozhuang smiled coldly, Meili saw her indifferent and sneering expression for the first time, "I am also a mother, do you know...... What did I do for my son? "This is not a question, she doesn't need Meili's answer, yes, who doesn't know in the Qing Dynasty.
"Old Ancestor ......" Meili's head was muddy.
"Meili, you are still young, Jing Xuan's heart is still in you, and your situation is not bad." Xiaozhuang looked at her deeply, "Think about it yourself." ”
Think......
She was the only one in the room again, and she needed to think about it.
She only thought about the predicament before, but she didn't think about how to deal with it, how to deal with it for Yun Ke!
He is already a concubine, and if he does not get Jing Xuan's support and love in the future, his situation will be even more miserable than hers...... She also has an ancestor who can say this to her, what about him?
