Chapter 50: Melting Snow
One
That winter, it was very cold very early, and the first snow had already arrived early. The whole palace was covered in white snow.
The expedition of Donmohe, with his army, before the heavy snow closed the mountain, finally ended the war with Tibet, returned triumphantly, and returned to the royal city.
didn't care about returning home, Don Mohe was dusty, first entered the palace to meet the Khan, reported the results of the battle, and brought back the letter of surrender of the Tubo State.
After receiving the letter of surrender, Dengli was overjoyed and praised him approvingly: "My cousin really lived up to the trust, worked hard all the way for the country. ”
Don Mohe said respectfully: "Tuo Khan Hongfu, fortunately live up to his mission. ”
Dengli asked, "Have you ever been home?" ”
Don Mohe smiled: "There is no concern at home, there is no difference between going back and not returning." ”
Dengli smiled: "Last time, I rewarded you with a dancing girl, it seems that she will not be in the eyes of my cousin." This time, Ben Khan will personally be a matchmaker for you and find a lady to match you as a wife. You must be concerned, so that Ben Khan can rest assured and entrust him. ”
Don Mohe smiled: "It turns out that the Khan is not a serious minister? He is loyal to his ministers, and he is not burdened by his wife and children, and he can concentrate on his loyalty to the Khan. ”
Dengli said with a smile: "However, our medicine Luo Ge clan will eventually have to continue the incense offspring." If you are like this, how will you see your ancestors underground in the future? ”
Don Mohe said: "Yao Luo Ge Clan, it is enough for you to pass on the ancestry with the Khan. The Khan gave birth to a few more princes, and the Yao Luo Ge clan must be for thousands of generations, stretching endlessly. ”
Dengli was full of smiles, a little show-off, and said, "Cousin's words are good. When it comes to heirs, Ben Khan must be ahead of his cousin. Although the queen had an unfortunate miscarriage, God finally compensated for it. To tell you the truth, Mrs. Shu has been pregnant for more than four months. ”
Don Mohe suspected that he had misheard, and hurriedly asked, "Which lady Shu?" ”
Dengli said: "How many more Mrs. Shu can there be?" Naturally, it is Mrs. Shu of Datang and his relatives. It's the woman you've seen, the woman who kicks the ball at the racecourse. In his speech, he was filled with joy and pampering.
Don Mohe's heart was cold, dumbfounded, and a little stunned.
Seeing him like this, Dengli smiled and said, "Silly, right? I can't think of it. Ben Khan has given Qingluan Palace for her to live in, and she is now Ben Khan's most beloved woman. ”
Don Mohe breathed a sigh of relief, and asked slowly, with difficulty, "I heard that Lady Shu has a serious illness, how can Khan like her?" ”
Dengli smiled slightly: "Maybe she was lucky to retreat, maybe she was destined to be with me, in short, I am also surprised that she is actually better." You don't know how beautiful she is. ”
Don Mohe's heart was like ashes, and he muttered, "She is indeed beautiful. ”
I entered the palace with joy, I thought that after seeing the Khan, I would go to visit Shu'er, but I didn't expect that in less than half a year, it was already a sea of vicissitudes, and things were wrong.
These days, no one knows how much he misses her.
I miss her long hair, I miss her smile, I miss her tenderness in his arms.
thought that she could create a country and a bright future for her, but now, she has it all.
In her heart, do you remember him?
Marrying Dengri, she must be reluctant.
He thought bitterly.
She is expecting. Pregnant with a child in Denri. It made him even more heartbreaking.
For a moment, he felt that his eating and sleeping in the open and fighting had lost its meaning, and it became a big joke to return to his heart like an arrow and look through the autumn water along the way.
For the first time, the desire for Shu'er defeated the desire for the throne.
He wanted to see her very strongly, and he wanted to ask her in person, if he still loved him.
But is there any meaning to love or not to love?
Don Mohe's face turned red and he didn't say a word.
Noticing the change in his expression, he asked with concern, "Are you uncomfortable?" Then he suddenly realized: "You must be tired, go back and rest." Tomorrow night, in the Xingyang Palace, there will be a celebration banquet for the cousin and the soldiers who went out, and the cousin must attend on time according to the meritorious deeds. ”
Don Mohe thanked him and took his leave.
If he stayed a little longer, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but kill this Dengli Khan who had taken the country and the beauty.
Now, it's not the time to get your hands dirty.
Two
In the sun, a dazzling white. The snow has stopped, and the palace people are busy clearing the snow from the road, and people are flowing everywhere.
However, in the crowd, Don Mohe felt so lonely.
He didn't even know where to go along the squeaky snow-covered path he stepped on.
General Gebu, who accompanied him, was a little strange, and he didn't know what the Khan said when he summoned him, and why the prime minister looked a little unwilling.
"My lord, are you sick?" Gebu asked.
Don Mohe did not answer.
It's sick, it's heart disease.
Facing him, a few sedan chair drivers walked up, carrying a gorgeous sedan chair, and walked slowly. On the left and right of the sedan chair, there is a palace maid accompanying them.
When the sedan chair passed by Don Mohe's side, Don Mohe was stunned.
The sedan curtain opened slightly, and a beautiful familiar face emerged from the corner of the sedan curtain, leisurely looking at the snowy scene.
Who is Shu'er who is not thinking about it?
Shu'er was also taken aback, and at the same time, a trace of joy crossed her heart.
It's him? He's back. He returned safely. After a long time, the handsome man in the past was full of messy hair at this time, and he looked even more rough and flamboyant.
The fetus in the womb was slightly wriggling at this time. She couldn't help but touch her stomach and sighed.
Son, your own father, is close at hand, but he cannot recognize him.
When the maid saw Don Mohe, she bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency Prime Minister is well." ”
Don Mohe nodded slightly, as if in response to the question: "Is it Mrs. Shu?" "My eyes are staring at Shu'er, and my eyes are like torches.
Shu'er read the doubts and pain in his eyes.
There was a slight pain in my heart. How to answer him?
When he left, he was still a lowly maidservant, and now, he is a favorite concubine of the Khan who is loved by thousands of people, how should he accept this cruel reality?
Although the reality is unbearable, it can only be accepted. Although this process, it will be painful.
Long pain is better than short pain, she wants to tell him in person, the distance between reality and dreams, lest he have infatuation.
"Stop the car!" She instructed the palanquin man.
The sedan chair man fell off the sedan chair, and Bi'er helped Shu'er out.
Don Mohe suddenly saw Shu'er's slightly bulging abdomen, and it was as uncomfortable as a knife cut.
Shu'er said to the people: "You go down first." The main palace has something to ask the prime minister. ”
The people and Gebu were ordered to retreat. In the snow, in the blink of an eye, only Dun Mohe and Shu'er remained.
After a half-year absence, a pair of former lovers are relatively speechless at the moment.
Don Mohe looked at the woman in front of him with mixed feelings. She was still as beautiful, even more charming than ever. She wore a wide pink jacket that covered her bulging belly, and a cloak of bright red embroidery and trimmed with snow-white fox fur.
Shu'er said calmly: "The Prime Minister has returned safely, and the palace is very pleased. ”
Donmohe's mouth opened wide, full of words, but he didn't know how to say it. In his eyes, only Shu'er's bulging belly pierced him so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
"Mrs. Shu, don't come unharmed." The words that came out of his mouth were stiff and cold.
Shu'er said lightly: "This palace is very good. The Prime Minister has worked hard. ”
After the polite words were spoken, the two calmed down, figuring out each other's intentions, but they didn't speak, and for a while, they were a little embarrassed.
Don Mohe finally couldn't help it, with a little anger, a little sarcasm, and said: "I haven't congratulated Mrs. yet, it's not what it used to be, and now Mrs. has worked hard, and finally flew on the branch to become a phoenix, and she was pregnant with a dragon fetus, and she was given a place in Qingluan Palace, which is a supreme honor, and it is gratifying." ”
Shu'er smiled slightly: "Receiving the favor of the Khan is a blessing for this palace." ”
Donmohe said angrily: "You ruthless woman! Is it so important to be rich and prosperous? It's only been a few days, why have you forgotten our relationship? ”
Shu'er looked at him calmly and said slowly: "When the adult says affection, do you mean Kugma Yehe?" ”
Don Mohe was speechless for a while. Noai? She used such ugly words to describe such a beautiful love in his heart.
Shu'er raised her hand, swept her temples with an extremely elegant posture, and continued: "Dew marriage, no matchmaking and no certificate, such a bad relationship, adults won't take it seriously, right?" My lord has forgotten that I have always been a woman of Khan, and I have never belonged to you. ”
Don Mohe's heart sank, and he said in an incredulous tone: "Could it be that in your heart, I am just an insignificant passer-by? Could it be that that time, on the grassland, you didn't love me? ”
Shu'er was silent for a moment, she found the question difficult to answer.
She whispered, "That time, I told you that we couldn't be together. ”
Donmohe said eagerly: "This is not a problem. As long as you have me in your heart. ”
Shu'er said with difficulty: "Do you think it makes sense?" ”
Donmohe grabbed her by the shoulder and said in despair, "This means to me. ”
Shu'er looked into his eyes, and those wild eyes shone with terrifying killing intent.
Shu'er shuddered.
What is he going to do?
Is he going to kill Denri?
The somewhat crazy man looked at her eagerly, and with only a word from her, she believed, he would immediately turn around and assassinate Denri. The blood-stained palace is immediately visible.
These two men, no matter who died, she didn't want to see.
She struggled to break free of his hands and said coldly, "You are wrong. From beginning to end, I never loved you, it was your wishful thinking and self-inflicted affection. ”
Don Mohe let go of her.
Shu'er straightened her clothes and said slowly: "I have never loved you. ”
Don Mohe said angrily: "But you didn't refuse me. ”
Shu'er sneered: "Adults are really forgetful. It was you who forced me to accept you. ”
Donmohe hoarsely said in frustration: "So, do you love Dengli? Did he force you? ”
Shu'er smiled slightly: "He is my husband, the father of my children." I willingly want to be his woman. ”
Donmohe lowered his head, weak.
Shu'er's next sentence completely made him desperate: "Prime Minister, this palace knows that you have ambitions. Khan is my husband, and I will not allow him to be in the slightest danger. You'd better keep to yourself, and if you have misdeeds, don't blame this palace for not remembering the old feelings. ”
Shu'er turned around and left, calling loudly: "Come on, get up the sedan chair!" "I slipped and almost fell.
Don Mohe instinctively stepped forward, held on, and said with concern: "Be careful! ”
Shu'er stared at him, and her heart softened for a while.
She knows that this man really loves her and can do anything for her.
However, she swore that from then on, she would cut off distractions, keep to herself, and be a woman in Dengli.
Zhijun's intentions are like the sun and the moon, and the husband vows to live and die together. Returning Jun Mingzhu wept and hated to meet when he was not married.
This decision is a choice of fate.
"If you really care about me, help me to become queen." She said softly and earnestly.
Don Mohe was stunned for a moment, her eyes were full of trust, expectation and dependence, vaguely, and a little helpless.
Three
Don Mohe was dumbfounded, reminiscing about her eyes and watching her leave.
Until her sedan chair went away, he was still fluted in place.
Is there a more shameless woman in this world than her? Abandon him and throw himself into the arms of others, but still seek his help.
However, he sadly found that he could not refuse this woman he hated and loved.
The sun rose, and a hint of warmth dispelled the cold, but for Donmohe, this winter, doomed, would be cold to the bone.
Ge Bu said softly: "My lord, my father is here. ”
Only then did Don Mohe notice that at some point, Doctor Ge came.
Doctor Ge bowed and saluted, but Don Mohe hurriedly stopped: "Doctor Ge is exempt." You are my father's old department, like an elder, how can I bear it. ”
Doctor Ge said: "The dog was promoted by Lord Meng, and I am grateful. ”
Don Mohe said: "Gebu fought bravely and made outstanding military achievements, and he should be promoted to a general. ”
Doctor Ge said with emotion: "Back then, when I was so old, I also followed Ling Zun to fight in the south and the north, and now, time passes, and my son follows the adults to make contributions, and everything seems to be back to the past." ”
Don Mohe thought of his father, was silent, and asked in a low voice for a while: "What happened to the queen's miscarriage?" ”
Doctor Ge looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Xia Guan is just a little trick, in front of Mrs. An, a little mention, although lotus leaf tea is good, but pregnant women should not drink it, Mrs. An understood it, so she did it." You can rest assured that it will never involve the lower officials. ”
Don Mohe nodded: "You have to be careful. ”
When Doctor Ge was young, he served as a military medical officer, and he was misdiagnosed, and he was killed by the doctor, and he was beheaded according to the law. Thinking of the old master, Doctor Ge was loyal to Don Mohe with a feeling of repaying his kindness, willing to take risks, and took great responsibility to drive him, which made Don Mohe very grateful.
Doctor Ge hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that Mrs. Shu is pregnant again, but it's not easy to start." The khan landed her fetus on the lower officials, and if there was a mistake, the lower officials could not afford to bear the guilt. ”
Donmohe's heart ached. He implied that Doctor Ge killed the queen's fetus in preparation for his future plans, and did not want to have a queen in Dengli. However, this time, it was Shu'er who was pregnant.
Even though he hated, he didn't want to hurt her, to put her in the slightest danger.
He sighed and whispered, "Let her go." ”
Medical Officer Ge breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Speaking of Mrs. Shu, it is indeed not simple, she escaped death, and she was actually blessed by misfortune, became the lord of Qingluan Palace, and was pregnant with a dragon heir. ”
Donmoga pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Why do you say that you escaped death?" Did something happen to her? ”
Doctor Ge sighed: "What courage does it take for a weak woman to regard the favor of the Khan as a mustard and dare to run away alone!" ”
Don Mohe was shocked: "Escape? Why did you escape? Hurry up! ”
Although Doctor Ge was surprised by Don Mohe's violent reaction, he still gave a rough account of what he knew. Including the process of Khan's diligent delivery of meat, ordering himself to diagnose the disease, and Shu'er escaping and being arrested.
After hearing this, Donmohe's heart beat wildly: So, she fled to avoid Dengli?
She doesn't want to marry Denri?
Who is she trying to protect?
A hint of guilt welled up in my heart. It turned out that she was wrong. She always cared about me. Don Mohe thought.
Under forced circumstances, she became pregnant with Dengli's child, and she had to marry a chicken and a dog and a dog. That's why she treated him so resolutely, in order to cut off the love thread and leave no resentment.
From her point of view, perhaps, she made the right choice.
In an instant, Don Mohe's heart turned a thousand times.
To get rid of Dengli is to kill the father of her child, and she will definitely not forgive herself. Moreover, there is no such certainty at the moment.
He thought of her words: "If you really care about me, help me to become a queen." ”
With this, he might be able to help her get her wish.
As long as she likes it. He let out a long sigh.
The snow on the ground has gradually melted.
The snow in my heart is still helplessly cold.
