Chapter 55: Please, Spare Him Life
His tone was extremely serious, his cool eyes narrowed slightly, and Hua Xuanji's figure was softly printed in his inky black pupils, but he didn't seem to be looking at her.
The head was a little dazed, and there seemed to be that pungent smell in the air again.
He pursed his lips and muttered:
"At that time, maybe everyone has forgotten what happened, but I remember it clearly."
Nineteen years ago, outside the golden hall, a man in a bright yellow robe was measuring his steps back and forth, his smooth forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and the eunuch behind him wiped his head with a handkerchief and shouted, while pointing to the chair that had just been moved by someone on the side and persuading: "Your Majesty, why don't you sit down and wait." ”
"No, you don't." The man in the bright yellow robe replied very cheerfully, his frowning eyebrows were full of anxiety, he looked into the room, sighed, and continued to turn around.
From time to time, there were women's screams in the room, each more terrible and weaker than the other.
The bloody breath filled the entire room, and the midwife with her hands covered in blood wiped the sweat on her head without fear of dirty, "Queen power." ”
I forgot how long I screamed, I forgot how many laps I had walked outside, and it wasn't until the crisp and loud baby cry that pierced his eardrums that the emperor reacted.
He pushed open the door of the temple with joy, but a smile froze on his face for a moment.
All the people's faces are not the kind of joy that makes the prince happy, everyone is heavy, hanging their heads and not daring to make a sound, Xi Po's face is even more white and terrifying, the blood-stained hands are constantly trembling, and there are a few times when the swaddling clothes in their hands are almost dropped, even the most basic salute is extremely difficult.
"It's raw." In the end, the emperor first regained his composure, looked at the woman who was tired on the bed, his face softened, he stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, looked sideways slightly, and looked at the trembling midwife: "Boys and girls? ”
Who knew that the midwife knelt down, her voice trembling and almost crying.
"Back to ...... Back to the ..... emperor, yes...... Twins. ”
Speaking of the voice behind it, it was like a dream, but I still heard Xi Po's words clearly.
Taking a deep breath, "Which was born first." ”
"It's him." A palace maid walked up tremblingly and tilted the swaddling clothes forward slightly.
The boy's eyes were tightly closed, his little fist was placed on his cute little face, and his thick and long eyelashes flickered, which was very cute.
The emperor's eyebrows and eyes suddenly curved into an arc, reached out to take the cute swaddling clothes, and stretched out his slender fingers to play with the boy's little hand. While leaning him in front of the queen, "Look, his eyelashes look like you." ”
The queen knew his character well, knew that this was only the calm before the storm, but at this time she did not have the slightest strength. With a slight smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and leaned towards the midwife:
"Show me the kid."
"Puff." "Wow." Almost instantly, the two voices came to mind at the same time, and the midwife trembled several times in fright, and even her shoulders trembled.
I saw that the swaddling clothes that had just fallen asleep peacefully in her arms were forcibly waved to the ground by the man who was high up in front of her, and the baby who had not made a sound was violently impacted by the powerful force, and actually cried out.
The voice was extremely loud, and the queen's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard it.
"Enron." The emperor suddenly spoke loudly, and his voice was mixed with a little forbearance and a little depression. When a man answered outside the door, he pointed to the swaddling clothes on the ground with his hand, and didn't even look at it, "You can't stay." ”
Three words, categorically, decided the fate of the baby without hesitation.
The palace maid was already stunned by what had just happened, and suddenly heard the words of the high master, and suddenly trembled, and tears of horror flowed down her eyes like a dam bursting the embankment, and she trembled her shoulders, but she did not dare to make a sound.
"Is it the other way around?" The emperor's voice was as cold as ice, without the slightest emotion.
"Your Majesty." The queen had long been crying, and with all her last strength, she clutched the emperor's sleeve tightly, her red and swollen eyes were full of pleading, "Your Majesty, please, stay, leave him." Please. ”
"Queen." The emperor gently kissed the swaddling clothes in his arms, handed it to the palace maid behind him, shook his head heavily, and said earnestly: "Mr. is auspicious, and the afterlife is a disaster, and he can't stay." ”
"Even if I beg you." The queen didn't know where the strength came from, and almost fell to the ground with a roll, stumbling into her arms with the swaddling clothes he knocked off, kneeling on the ground with her body propped up, and kowtowing heavily.
"Your Majesty, please, leave him behind. Leave him behind. ”
The emperor didn't expect her to move at all, and hurriedly got up and prepared to help her up. However, he didn't even look at the swaddling clothes, "Queen, what are you doing here?" ”
"God has the virtue of a good life, the emperor, leave him a life, even if he doesn't be a prince, as long as he stays alive, it's fine."
The air seemed to freeze for another moment, and it was almost silent except for the choking sound of swaddling clothes in the queen's arms.
After a long time, the tall man finally nodded, and said to the figure who had been waiting outside the door: "Pass the decree, the queen has added another dragon heir to me, and I hereby name Sheng and named the crown prince." ”
Holding Ye Sheng into his arms again, the emperor even filled in some laugh lines on his eyebrows, and kept shaking the swaddling clothes in his hands:
shouted over and over again: "Ye Sheng, Ye Sheng." Ye Sheng, do you like the name? ”
Ye Sheng in swaddling clothes seemed to understand the emperor's words, and opened his eyelids and laughed.
Raising her head slightly, the queen looked at the man holding the swaddling clothes with a smile on his face, and her eyes suddenly darkened, and the hand holding the swaddling clothes hung down weakly and fell to the ground.
