His body seemed to be torn in two, and he was in so much pain that he kept crying and shouting, but he still couldn't stop the fetus from slipping out of his body.

The baby was covered in blood and turned black. The moment it landed on the ground, it opened its eyes and looked at him with a distorted expression, asking sternly, "Why did you kill me, why, why..."

"what!"

Xia Chenhuan let out a low cry, and suddenly woke up from the nightmare, covered in cold sweat, panting heavily.The biting coldness made him tremble uncontrollably.

The dream was too real, so real that it was like experiencing it again, and what made him suffer even more was the suffocating guilt and despair.

Xiao Haoxuan immediately opened his eyes when the person in his arms twisted and sweated.But there was nothing he could do except to wake up the person in the nightmare, and there was no way to prevent the other party from suffering.

Xiao Haoxuan brushed Xia Chenhuan's sleeping hole every night to make him fall asleep, while he himself suffered from insomnia all night.

After the third watch, Xia Chenhuan will wake up from the nightmare.

It has been like this every night for six days.

Xiao Haoxuan caressed Xia Chenhuan's cold cheek, unable to hide his concern.

Xia Chenhuan regained his composure, focused on the man's face, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I woke up the prince again."

Xiao Haoxuan felt more and more distressed, wrapped him in a thin quilt at the side, carried him out of bed and walked towards the back hall, frowned and said, "I said, don't say sorry again."

Xia Chenhuan pursed her lips and stopped talking.

When he woke up, he must have been drenched in cold sweat. The man was worried that he would catch a cold, so the hot spring water in the bath kept flowing every night.

After entering the pool, Xiao Haoxuan held him in his arms and scrubbed him personally.

Xia Chenhuan shied away the first two times and wanted to wash it by herself.Now he just leans against the man's chest and lets him move, expressionless, not knowing what he is thinking.

After taking a quick bath, Xiao Haoxuan carried Xia Chenhuan back to the bed, and used his internal energy to steam the hair and skin of the two of them instantly.

Xia Chenhuan was resting on the man's left arm, the two looked at each other, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.

Xiao Haoxuan couldn't laugh, he gently stroked the forehead of the person in his arms, input internal energy into the sleeping point, and said in a deep voice, "Go to sleep."

Xia Chenhuan said "um", closed her eyes obediently, and her breathing became regular after a while.

Xiao Haoxuan stared at Xia Chenhuan's sleeping face, very calm, so calm that he was uneasy.

Xia Chenhuan just woke up after a miscarriage and she was so calm, so calm to the point of despair.

Xiao Haoxuan and Gu Yao discussed the countermeasures, and then gave orders to Uncle Sun.Afterwards, she stayed by the bed, holding Xia Chenhuan's cool hand, and caressing his cheek, without even moving her eyes from her pale face, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Chenhuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

There was no fluctuation in the green eyes, and even the shadow of the person in front of him could not be reflected.He looked at the roof motionless, like a rag doll without a soul, and all vitality disappeared with the child's departure.

Xiao Haoxuan felt extremely distressed, and hoped that Xia Chenhuan would cry, scold him and hate him, and vent out his emotions instead of holding them in his heart.

It seems that all thoughts are lost, and there is no strength to live.

Xiao Haoxuan stroked Xia Chenhuan's cheek, wanting to call him, but opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.

Just when the man's fingertips began to tremble, Xia Chenhuan looked at him, his blue eyes gradually became in focus, and even smiled, and called out in a hoarse voice, "My lord..."

Smiling so reluctantly is more sad than crying.

Xiao Haoxuan couldn't describe his feelings, he was extremely grateful, but at the same time his heart ached and he felt mad with guilt.

All he could do was hug Xia Chenhuan into his arms and kiss her one after another.From forehead to chin, gentle to careful, full of love and affection.He didn't even kiss his upper lip, for fear of shocking Xia Chenhuan.

In the next few days, Xia Chenhuan didn't cry or make noise, and didn't close herself up.He would respond to the words of Xiao Haoxuan and the maids, occasionally showing a smile.

It's just that he seldom speaks actively, and often loses his mind, not knowing what he is thinking.

He didn't even say a word about the lost child.

Xiao Haoxuan felt at a loss for the first time, not knowing what to do with Xia Chenhuan.

The calmer Xia Chenhuan's face became, the more sure Xiao Haoxuan was that he was in pain and feeling guilty.

Xiao Haoxuan knew that going on like this was not an option, but he didn't dare to pierce Xia Chenhuan's disguise.He knew that it was Xia Chenhuan's last strength, the last barrier.

He was afraid that after he broke the illusion, Xia Chenhuan would be fragile and shattered into pieces, and would never be able to recover.

Xiao Haoxuan actually wanted to hold Xia Chenhuan in his arms every moment, kiss him, comfort him, and tell him that he would always be by his side, and they would get through this time together.

But Xiao Haoxuan didn't dare, fearing that such concern would remind Xia Chenhuan that they had lost a child.

He could only cooperate with Xia Chenhuan and try his best to make everything as it was before the assassination. Their daily life was not much different from that in the palace.

Xiao Haoxuan didn't have to go to court in the other courtyard, he would accompany Xia Chenhuan to finish his breakfast, and then went to the study to deal with secret reports and political affairs.

Xia Chenhuan rested in the bedroom.His body was exhausted by the induction of labor, and he could not catch the cold from the wind, so he should not move more.So most of them lie down and read a book, or sit up and make some pills.

After having lunch with others, Xiao Haoxuan went back to the study to get busy, and would not stay by Xia Chenhuan's side until after dinner.

He will play chess with this person, or hold him in his arms and read a book together, trying to make the other person respond to him.

Although Xiao Haoxuan can't talk too much, it has never been so much.

He took care of Xia Chenhuan carefully, from body to mind.

That night Xiao Haoxuan still suffered from insomnia, watching Xia Chenhuan's sleeping face until the sky turned pale.

In the afternoon, Uncle Sun went to the study to report the news. Xiao Haoxuan was reading a copy of the court memorial, and Gu Yao would send someone to bring it over every day.

The man threw the memorial on the table, his face darkened, and the sneer flickered away from the corner of his mouth.

King Xuan and Princess Xuan were seriously injured after being assassinated and recuperated in another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.Less than half a day after the incident, the news had spread throughout Yanjing City, and of course it spread quickly to the local area and neighboring countries.

As time went by, people became more and more convinced that King Xuan or Princess Xuan was dead.

If it was a minor injury, why didn't he go back to the palace for treatment? Why didn't King Xuan show up to stabilize the court?If it was seriously injured, why didn't the queen and emperor visit him?Even the imperial physicians only sent two, which is not logical at all.

In addition, the emperor is obviously sad and worried these days, and his attitude has become manic.It has been repeatedly emphasized that King Xuan was only injured. Isn't it true that there is no silver 300 taels here?

Xiao Haoxuan and Xiao Chuyi wanted this effect.With the death of the eldest son of the emperor, there will be no turmoil with Xiao Chuyi sitting in the court, but there must be a dark tide.

What Xiao Haoxuan wanted was a turbulent undercurrent, and among them were people who couldn't hold their breath.Although it may not necessarily be related to Jiang Li, he can take this opportunity to see the situation clearly and lay the groundwork for a smooth transition between crown prince and ascension to the throne in the future.

Of course more importantly...

Xiao Haoxuan looked at Uncle Sun, and asked coldly, "Is there anything unusual?"

Uncle Sun bowed his head and shook his head, "All the courtiers, their relatives, and in-laws have been monitored and investigated. No one has any abnormal movements, or contacted or contacted Huajianjiao."

Xiao Haoxuan kept his dark eyes silent, and tapped his fingers on the table.He also intuited that buying murder was not aimed at him, nor should it be committed by someone in the court.

Xiao Haoxuan can't think of anyone who has a purpose in everything and can benefit from his death.

Instead, it was Xia Chenhuan, if Emperor Xia noticed the alliance between Xia Chenshuo and himself...

The man's face became even colder, "How about the princess?"

"There is no sign in Yanjing that is not good for the princess. Leader Bai from Xia Guo has already personally investigated. He followed Jiang Li into Xia Guo. The Shujian League is more informed than us in Xia Guo."

Hearing the word "Jiang Li", killing intent appeared in Xiao Haoxuan's eyes for a moment, and the air pressure in his body dropped, even Uncle Sun felt oppressed.

Xiao Haoxuan didn't go after Jiang Li himself, firstly he couldn't let go of Xia Chenhuan, and secondly he needed to find out who was behind the scenes.

But he never intended to spare Jiang Li.Death is too easy, he wants to abolish Jiang Li's influence, torture him slowly, and make his life worse than death.

Xiao Haoxuan raised his eyebrows, "Ambush already?"

Uncle Sun nodded, "I have contacted the hall masters and pavilion masters on the boundary of Huajianjiao altar in Great Yanjing, and the local officers and soldiers will also participate. When the prince orders, we will take action at the same time and eradicate them in one fell swoop."

Shujianmeng and Huajianjiao have been in conflict for a hundred years. If the two factions fight, it will definitely lead to bloody storms in the world.

Different from this, it is much more reasonable and convenient for the court to do some things.Although the state seldom intervenes in affairs of the rivers and lakes, officials are the most important, and the imperial court has suppressed gangs since ancient times.In addition, it is justified to use the name of assassinating the prince to suppress.

Although Wenli Pavilion is a power in the world, it does not rely on martial arts, but relies on business and information, and its relationship with the royal family is not a secret.

The two attacked together, attacking everywhere at the same time, caught him off guard, and wiped out Huajian Sect's influence in Dayan in one fell swoop.

Xiao Haoxuan was noncommittal, and said after a while, "The focus is on persuading surrender, and try to absorb the congregation into the Wenli Pavilion."

He just wanted to make Jiang Li no longer a threat, and there was no need to massacre.

Most of the congregants are at the bottom, obeying orders, and joining Huajian Sect only because of their livelihood.As long as you understand it with reason, move it with emotion, and then lure it with good conditions, you can use it for your own use without bloodshed.

Uncle Sun took the order, "Yes, this subordinate understands!"

Xiao Haoxuan waved his hand, "Let's do it." After speaking, he got up and walked towards the main hall.

As soon as Xiao Haoxuan entered the yard, he saw Xia Chenhuan sitting on the porch. He stopped and stared at that person with dark eyes.

Starting from yesterday, Wu Tian allowed Xia Chenhuan to go out of the room for a walk, but he had to wear tight clothes and not be in the wind.

It's now September, early fall.The leaves are yellowing and falling, the autumn wind is blowing, and it is deserted and lonely.But it is such a sad season, people can't control the sadness of spring and autumn, lamenting the impermanence of life.

Xia Chenhuan sat there quietly, watching the fallen leaves return to their roots in the courtyard, her chest felt tight and her nose felt sour.He closed his eyes and forced himself to be calm.

It's not that Xia Chenhuan is in pain, he thinks of that child almost every moment.But he is not qualified to cry in pain. He killed his own child.

It wasn't just blood gu, Xia Chenhuan believed that Jiang Li was after him.

Xia Chenhuan, who Xiao Haoxuan thought of, naturally also thought of it, and he even knew more about the relationship between Feng Man and the Yin family.

Although he didn't know that Xia Chenyu had appeared, but if Emperor Xia knew that the third brother was allied with the prince, then it would be normal for him to want to kill himself.It was logical for the Yin family to find Jiang Li.

The desperation of losing a child makes people lose all hope, while the hatred for the murderer makes people desperate. The only ones holding Xia Chenhuan back are the third brother and Xia Guo.

On the day of the incident, Xia Chenhuan immediately asked Zeng Jun and Lu Runxi to send a message to the third brother, telling him what Emperor Xia was thinking.Let Xia Chenshuo take full precautions and advance the plan of the superior.

Xia Chenhuan can't reveal it yet, otherwise, those people's wishes will be fulfilled.When the third brother sits on the throne of God, he will ask those people to pay the price and go down with him to accompany that child.

Xiao Haoxuan looked at Xia Chenhuan's sad expression, his chest seemed to be crushed by a huge stone, and he couldn't breathe.

He had never felt so sorry for someone before.Different from the pain Gu Yao gave and the pain for himself, Xiao Haoxuan knew for the first time that he could also feel such heartache for others.

When he stepped forward, Xia Chenhuan came back to his senses when he heard the voice, and immediately got up, trying to pull the corners of his mouth, "My lord."

Xiao Haoxuan remained silent, pulled him into his arms, and kissed his forehead one after another, comforting him silently.

Xia Chenhuan leaned against the man with her eyes closed, hesitated for a moment, and finally put her arms around Xiao Haoxuan's waist.

Xia Chenhuan misses a man very much and wants to stay in his arms, that is the only place that makes her feel warm.But he was also afraid of seeing Xiao Haoxuan, because he killed their child, so he couldn't face a man.

It took a while for Xiao Haoxuan to let go of Xia Chenhuan, wrap him tightly in the fox fur cloak, and took his hand and walked out of the courtyard.

Xiao Haoxuan remained silent, and Xia Chenhuan followed silently.The two walked to a quiet corner of Taoyuan in the backyard and stopped.

I do not know when a jade monument was erected in the open space among the peach trees.

It is said to be a stele, but it is not like a stele. An excellent piece of Hetian warm jade has nothing carved or inscriptions.It is only one-third the size of a normal stele, like a child in the stele.

A few new saplings were planted behind the jade tablet, but they were so small that we couldn't tell what kind of tree they were.

Xia Chenhuan was stunned for a moment, his fingertips trembling, and he looked at Xiao Haoxuan in disbelief.For the first time in seven days, my emotions leaked out, and I was no longer calm and waveless.

Xiao Haoxuan caressed Xia Chenhuan's face, smiled for the first time in seven days, and said softly, "I named him Jue'er."

Xia Chenhuan was startled, his pupils dilated, and his eyes turned red instantly.
