Chapter 9: Shock
The clouds are cloudy, the rain and the wind are uncertain, and the incense mist at the bottom of the curtain is thick. The candlelight of the window is sinking at night, and the cloister of the small courtyard is cold.
The summer rain has been raining for four or five days in a row, and now I am in deep proximity, and I usually don't do anything else except make some children's clothes and read books. Children are my only support in the future, and they are also the freeze frame of my love for Liuyun.
I transform all my love into love for my children. In my heart, I will never feel sad again.
The early morning sunlight was slightly dazzling, and the moment the wooden window was opened, a burst of fresh air flowed to the tip of the nose, and the breath outside the palace was indeed much less filthy than in the palace.
Siyu pushed the door in, her eyes moved to my face, and a smile appeared on her lips, "You woke up so early today, if I hadn't seen you open the window, I would have thought you were still sleeping!" β
I walked to the table and picked up a small dress that I had just made last night, "I have been sleepy lately, but I made the child's first dress yesterday, and I couldn't sleep with joy, thinking that he would be able to wear it in a few months, how could he still sleep." β
Siyu pursed her lips and smiled for a moment before carrying the hot water for washing onto the wooden frame, "I often hear people say that when a woman becomes a mother, her heart will change, at first I didn't believe it, but now I look at you like this, I have to believe it." β
I lowered my eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Look at what you said, it seems like I've really changed." β
Siyu shook her head, suddenly looked at me again, paused and walked to the wooden door and closed it. I watched her moves, and knew that she had something to say to me, and it was inconvenient for others to hear her.
She slowly walked to my side, took my hand, and said softly: "Song Liu, although you didn't say it, I am sure that this child's identity is very different. Are you really going to... Let the little prince of Minguo... Exiled? β
The little prince of Min in her mouth made me feel funny, from the moment I left Anyang City, I had nothing to do with Liuyun. In my heart, he is just the father of the child, and nothing else matters.
My smile gradually retracted, "The palace is a bloody place, and I don't want my children to be born there." Siyu, you didn't tell Zhuangzi about my relationship with Liuyun! β
She hurriedly shook her head, "How can I say that the emperor doesn't know this at all, he only knows that after you leave Jiayu City, you will get married, and he only knows that that person lives in Anyang City." β
I bowed slightly, "Don't talk about this to others." Because, I always have a premonition, a very uneasy premonition..."
She nodded heavily, "Don't worry! β
I looked out the window, "I don't know when the rain will stop, I want to go out for a walk." β
Siyu also looked out the window, "Yes! It's been a few days, if you feel bored, I'll talk to you more! When the rain stops, let's go out into the streets. Pregnant women can't always be locked up in the house, and it's better for the baby to be more active. β
"There is no credible person around me anymore, and I can't find anyone who can be really good to me except you." I spat out softly.
She looked back at me suddenly, and then said, "What about Sister Xiyun?" And Sister Yulan, aren't they all the closest people to you? No matter how far away sisters are, their hearts will still be together. I'm sure they miss you too. β
Stiffened, I looked at her in a daze, how would she feel if she knew that Xiyun and Yulan were gone. She's as good as Xiyun, and if she knew that Xiyun was dead, she would be as sad as I was!
In the past few years, I have suffered the pain of losing relatives and friends, how can I bear to let Siyu also... It's better to never let her know, maybe it's a good thing for her.
With a comfortable smile, I said to her, "Yes! You're right, it's me who thinks too much. β
She breathed a sigh of relief, "Your words really scared me, and I thought that you and Sister Xiyun had a conflict." When you leave the palace, I think it must have something to do with the emperor, so I won't ask more. When you want to say it, I'm listening. β
I tried to make myself look as natural as possible so that she didn't see any clues.
"Sister Xiyun, is she okay?" Siyu pursed her lips again, her voice soft with a hint of anticipation.
I bowed my head calmly, "She is very good, now she is a maid in front of the palace, and her status is the highest among the palace maids." β
Siyu was so shocked that a pair of eyes glared at the boss, and then smiled heartwarmingly, "The maid in front of the palace!" Sister Xiyun is really powerful, but her ability can take on this great responsibility, and I am optimistic about her! β
Is that a lie? It was only then that I realized how uncomfortable it is to lie to someone. When Liuyun deceived me, was he as uncomfortable as I am now? Is it uncomfortable, or is it happy to see that the goal is almost achieved?
In fact, none of this matters.
At noon on the second day, the rain finally stopped, and the courtyard under the warm sun was full of vitality.
Siyu and I basked in the sun for a few days, but Qingqing was nowhere to be seen, and I heard the girl in the house say that she left the house early in the morning and didn't know where she went.
Just as we were chatting happily, Qingqing hurried back, her face full of anxiety, and she was holding a note tightly in her hand.
Siyu and I looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Xu ran all the way back, she was so tired that she couldn't breathe, and she rested for a while before she recovered.
"Siyu, hurry up and pour a cup of hot tea in the house, Qingqing is afraid that she is tired." I hurriedly spoke, and Siyu turned around and ran into the house with an "um" sound.
Qingqing raised her eyes to look at me, grabbed my hand, and didn't care about herself gasping for breath, "Song Liu... Emperor... Emperor... He... He's hurt..."
I was taken aback and looked at her in amazement, "What did you say?" β
She handed the note in her hand to me, her eyes flashing with tears, "Zixi Flying Pigeon passed the book, the emperor met an assassin sent by the Emperor of Min in the palace, was stabbed several times, and is still unconscious. Fear... I'm afraid..."
The thoughts in my head stopped instantly, and I couldn't stop trembling, Zhuangzi was stabbed by an assassin sent by Liuyun... How could it be... Although the two countries are at odds with each other, they will never act so rashly with the way they do things. In this way, it will undoubtedly trigger a war between the two countries.
Even if Liuyun has the will to unify the world, he will not take such a way, he has only been on the throne for four years, and his foundation is not very stable, and he has always been calm and witty in doing things, how can he be so calm.
Among them, there must be a conspiracy, and the purpose of the initiator is to provoke discord between the two countries.
But now that Zhuangzi, as the emperor of the Min Kingdom, was injured by the assassins of the Min Kingdom, how could the Emperor give up, and he would definitely send troops to the Min Kingdom. But no matter what, it also depends on whether Zhuangzi can see through this assassin's matter.
The thought of this made me tremble even more.
Even if Liuyun hurts me, I must not let Liuyun be in such a situation.
Now, nothing is more important than Zhuangzi's safety, if he is okay, everything is fine.
"Hurry up and prepare, let's leave for Jiayu City, Zhuangzi must not have anything to do." I was overwhelmed, and my tone fluctuated.
Qingqing was stunned for a while before she realized what I meant, and she kept nodding her head tremblingly, "Okay... Good... We're going to get readyβ" and rushed back to his house.
Siyu came out of the house carrying the tea, saw the uneasy look on my face, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" Did something happen? β
"Zhuangzi was stabbed by the assassins, and now he is seriously injured!" As soon as my words fell, the teacup in Siyu's hand fell to the ground with a "clang", and he was stunned and couldn't move.
I looked at her and couldn't be quiet anymore, "Let's go back to Jiayu City today, hurry up and clean up!" β
She was so flustered that she only nodded in agreement, but she couldn't answer.
Mr. and Mrs. Li kept sending us out of the city, because the matter was urgent and we could no longer take the waterway.
Outside the city, Mrs. Li looked at me worriedly, "You are pregnant, you can't be tired, rush back all the way, I'm really afraid that something will happen!" Let these two girls go back first, and you might as well stay for the time being. β
"The lord and Mrs. have taken care of Liu'er these days, and Liu'er is grateful, but there is really something at home and there must be no delay. I will definitely come back to visit you both in the future when I have time. Lord and Mrs. don't worry, along the way, Liu Er will be more careful. When I had finished speaking, I bowed slightly and saluted them.
The two of them hurriedly reached out to support me, "In that case, we won't hold on any longer." Be careful on the road! If you're pregnant, don't rush to the road, you can't hold on when it's time to rest. β
I bowed my head, "Liu Er thanked the lord and the lady, the lord and the lady, take care!" He turned and got into the carriage.
Hurry up, even if you rush day and night, I'm afraid it will take ten days to reach Jiayu City.
I only hope that the child in the belly can fight.
On the fifth day of my trip, I started to have abdominal pain and had to stop to rest for a while.
Siyu and Qingqing watched me suffer, and they felt uncomfortable. I've been persuaded to rest for a few days before I set off, but I can't take care of so much now.
It is about Zhuangzi's life and the political affairs of the two countries, how can I be at ease.
After just a night's rest, I rushed to hit the road again.
I endured the extreme discomfort of my body, and I kept gritting my teeth and insisting.
After more than ten days of running, he finally insisted on reaching Jiayu City, and before he had time to stop the carriage, he rushed into the palace.
I haven't seen it for a few years, and it's still the same here as before, nothing has changed.
Zhuangzi's dormitory, Qingzhang Palace, surrounded by many Praetorian Guards, and under the leadership of Qingqing and Siyu, I smoothly entered the main hall and went straight to the Chengyang Palace.
There were many people in the hall, and as soon as I stepped into the temple door, I saw a familiar figure, the Queen Mother.
The moment she saw me, a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes, and she stared at me in a daze, not even paying attention to the reply of the imperial doctors.
I froze in place, unable to move a single step.
It wasn't until a noblely and gorgeously dressed woman called out several times "Niangniang..." that she suddenly came back to her senses, but her eyes did not take away from me for a moment.
The woman looked at me along the eyes of the Queen Mother, and I saw her appearance clearly, a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear. The face is gentle and beautiful, clear and lovely. Her skin is whiter than snow, and her thin and translucent red cherry lips make her even more charming. A bright yellow and elegant skirt, but dignified and steady. Except for the Queen Mother, I'm afraid no one dares to wear yellow clothes, if I guess correctly, she should be the mother of the country, the queen of the main palace of Zhuangzi.
"Niangniang, I don't think that girl is from the palace, do you know?" She spoke softly, causing the Queen Mother to withdraw her eyes from me, I calmed my mind, slowly walked to them, leaned over and kowtowed, "Slave maid to the Queen Mother please be safe!" β
The Queen Mother glanced at me before she spoke, but her tone was very cold, "Go around and around, you're still back." Even if you have Jing'er's jade dragon carved jade in your hand, the mourning family can't allow a woman with no identity to enter and leave the palace casually. β
I lowered my eyebrows, not daring to look at her.
"Niangniang, is she the woman that the emperor misses? The one who let the emperor not hesitate to give an order, all the women who hold the jade dragon carved jade, the guards guarding the palace gate must not stop her from entering the palace, could it be... Could it be.... The queen's tone began to tremble slightly, mixed with a hint of fear.
"Queen, don't lose your identity!" The Queen Mother gave a very impatient admonition, and Fang continued: "Miss Song Liu, the mourning family doesn't know what you mean by entering the palace, but the emperor is fine, you go out of the palace!" β
I raised my eyes and looked at the Queen Mother's serious face, "Queen Mother, please let the slave maid meet the emperor, the slave maid only said one word to the emperor, after speaking, the slave and maid must leave the palace, and never stay for a moment." β
The Queen Mother chuckled twice, and then smiled, "If the emperor sees you, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to leave the palace." β
I was about to pout again, but the queen grabbed me and spoke, "Didn't you hear? The Queen Mother wants you to leave the palace immediately! Do you want the palace guards to send you out? β
"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the emperor once decreed that the woman with his jade dragon carving jade in his hand should not be driven away by anyone in the palace, and should be treated with courtesy. Without the emperor's will, the queen mother and the queen mother really have no power..."Before Qingqing on the side finished speaking, the queen interrupted her sharply, "Presumptuous! As the queen, does this palace still have to treat a woman with no identity with courtesy? Besides, the queen mother is the queen mother of the emperor, how can you be suppressed by the emperor as soon as you do it. β
I hurriedly tugged at Qingqing's sleeve and motioned for her to kneel, and she paused for a while before she reluctantly knelt down.
"Qingqing, the mourning family has always loved you for the sake of growing up with the mourning family and doing a lot of things for the emperor, you stand aside, don't intervene!" The Queen Mother's words were extremely soft, thinking that she really loved Qingqing. After a pause, she changed her tone and said sharply: "Someone, send this woman out of the palace immediately." β
"The Queen Mother..."Qingqing called urgently, and the Queen Mother spoke up again: "You stand aside for the mourning family!" "The attitude is majestic, and there is no room for negotiation.
Two guards came in from outside the hall and pulled me up, and in an instant, a sharp abdominal pain spread throughout my body, followed by a cold sweat on my forehead.
"Song Liu... Blood... You're bleeding..."Siyu suddenly screamed, and I hurriedly looked down to see that my dress had been dyed in a blinding red.
Both the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were frightened and took several steps back.
"The Queen Mother... Help me... Rescue... "I endured the pain and pleaded, I can't let the child have trouble, I can't... He's my child with Liuyun... Our only child...
