ex husband always trying to get me pregnant
Chapter 90
"When Yueyao was promoted from a handyman to a tea maid, I already guessed Li Guifei's intentions. So I often go to Yuhua Palace, or sometimes call Yueyao to Xing'an Palace, on the one hand, I want to chat with her, On the one hand, I am also worried that Concubine Li Gui will bully her."
Emperor Jianping's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "For a long time, whenever Yueyao appeared in front of me, she was full of carefree smiles, and she didn't look like she had anything to do. I only found out later that it turned out that at that time , She has already been persecuted and threatened with torture by Concubine Li, but she just endured it on her own. I asked myself that I have always been very accurate in judging people, but I never thought that I would be deceived by her who has no intentions, and more than once."
"...What do you mean?" Xia Yan's voice trembled slightly.
Emperor Jianping sighed deeply, "At that time, I already had the idea of transferring her to Xing'an Palace, but unfortunately, Concubine Li Gui did it before the decree was delivered. That night, when I came to the Nuan Pavilion of Yuhua Palace, I found that she had been drugged. Yueyao collapsed on the bed, struggling to hold on in pain... I immediately took her to the Imperial Hospital. In order to protect her, no one noticed along the way. However, this kind of medicine has always been incurable, and the medicine used by Concubine Li Gui It is also extremely ruthless, the Tai Hospital is helpless for a while, it will take time to find a solution, I am afraid that Yueyao will not be able to hold on, and her life will be in danger."
Xia Yan's eyes were red.
Emperor Jianping lowered his eyes and clenched his hands tightly, "Of course I can't just watch Yueyao die, and I can't just find someone to be with her... At that time, Yueyao's consciousness was already confused, I really didn't dare to delay any longer, so I had to... …go with the flow.”
A tear fell from Xia Yan's eye socket, he wiped it hard with the back of his hand, and said in a low voice: "If mother is still awake, she would rather die than die."
"That's right." Emperor Jianping sighed, "After the effect of the medicine was removed, I brought her back to Xing'an Hall. She cried all night, and the tears never stopped."
……
Emperor Jianping kept this matter extremely secretive.
When he was still in the Imperial Hospital, he sent people back to Xing'an Hall to prepare the bathing pool. The attendants thought that Emperor Jianping wanted to take a bath. After preparing everything, he left as usual. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the court lady Yueyao entered the emperor's bath room. The soup pool and objects that can only be used by the emperor, and what he wears after bathing is also a set of daily underwear for Emperor Jianping.
But at that time, Yueyao was not thinking about being honored or honored, or overstepping the rules. She dared not go to see the great benefactor and hero in her mind.
Emperor Jianping's mind was no less relaxed than hers.
He never thought that such a thing would happen to this lively girl in front of him who he truly regarded as a friend.
But in his life, it is extremely rare to be entangled in regrets and incessant. He quickly cleared his mind, looked at the man who was wearing a large men's jacket, holding a scarf and deeply buried his head, and said: "Yueyao, tomorrow morning, I will decree to make you my concubine."
Yue-Yao's trembling shoulders stopped suddenly.
Emperor Jianping waited quietly for her answer, and had a vague premonition that this matter might not go so smoothly.
After all, ordinary people are blessed with the presence of the emperor, and have a name and honor. Who is not overjoyed?Where is there such a person who keeps crying?
However, Yueyao is different after all.
After a long time, she tried hard to wipe away her tears, raised her cheeks that were soaked brightly by the hot water in the bath, opened her red and swollen eyes that had lost their luster, and sobbed, "Your Majesty, I, I want to leave the palace."
Even Emperor Jianping was a little stunned at that moment after going through many important events.
"...Why?"
"In the palace...it's different from what I think. I, I don't want to be a concubine, let alone...face Concubine Li and the others again."
"Don't worry, I will appeal for your grievances, and I will definitely ask Concubine Li to be held accountable for today's incident." Emperor Jianping said firmly.
"No need." Yueyao shook her head, "I don't even know why I did it all of a sudden, it just happened like that, there is no evidence to prove that she did it. Besides, Concubine Li is using me to attract the emperor. Pay attention, if I win the emperor's favor, then as long as I leave, she can do nothing else. But if I stay and become a concubine, there will definitely be more troubles in the future. I don't want to be so troublesome, I I just want to live happily. So, as long as I can get rid of these things quickly, I don't care if Concubine Li is punished, it doesn't matter to me at all. "
"But you are an orphan, after leaving the palace..."
"I used to be alone, and I lived a good life, and I will definitely live a good life in the future."
"But..." Emperor Jianping hesitated.
But Yueyao got it wrong, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I, I am one of the fewest people in the world. I was born with different physiques from the four races. I won't have children, and I won't cause trouble for the Emperor." Voice go down.
"What are you talking about? I didn't mean that, I was just worried about you." Emperor Jianping said.
"Oh." Yue-Yao was startled, her watery eyes flickered, "Then, that's because I missed something. But it doesn't matter, it's always good to make it clear."
Emperor Jianping looked at her and knew that although she was always joking and joking, she was very strong in her heart, now that she had made up her mind, it was impossible for her to change her mind.
"After leaving the palace, what are your plans?"
Yue-Yao thought for a while and said, "I want to go around and see more places."
"Then I will order someone to take care of you, and then send some people to protect you."
Yueyao still shook her head, her voice was not loud, but her tone was very firm: "I want to go alone. Your Majesty, I think this time I will leave the palace completely, that is... as if I have never entered the palace before, I also want to go to the palace. ...forget about me." He raised his head, his eyes were more persistent than ever before.
……
Xia Yan's eyes were also bright red, and he said in a low voice: "Mother said that her physique is not from any of the four races... She, she is lying."
"Yes. Maybe she was afraid that she would have a child, so she asked to leave the palace immediately. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it at the time, and I didn't insist on it. I let her lie again for a second time."
"The second time?" Xia Yan muttered to himself, "So... there is more?!"
Emperor Jianping leaned back on the chair, and gave a painful "Yes", "I regard Yueyao as an equal confidant and friend. I respect her and do everything according to her wishes. That night, I sent her out of the palace first, and then I went out of the city with a badge and gave her two horses to bid her farewell. At the time of farewell, she blew a song with leaves. The dim sky of dawn shrouded the tall trees and short grass. She stood there and played with low eyebrows. Many birds flew over with flapping wings and landed on the trees and at her feet. At the end of the song, she told me to take care , and then got on the horse and left, never looked back, never... never met again."
Xia Yan wept again, and after a while he choked up and said, "After nearly 20 years, Father never thought of Mother, and didn't he go to find her?"
Emperor Jianping was silent.
Xia Yan's tone was clearly full of doubt and dissatisfaction, he could hear it.
In fact, he asked himself the same question many times later, especially after learning of Yueyao's death and recognizing Xia Yan, until he was speechless.
Emperor Jianping said: "At that time, I really didn't realize that there was a queen oriole behind me. I just beat Concubine Li, observed her for a while, and found that she was quite peaceful, so I didn't think about it for the time being. Furthermore, My government affairs are like a mountain, and I am pregnant, and Shenlong's constitution is extremely difficult to conceive, all kinds of hardships and sufferings... needless to say, it is true that I do not care about Yueyao."
After a pause, Emperor Jianping smiled wryly, "Of course, these are the reasons I found for myself. To put it bluntly, a small part of the reason why I didn't look for Yueyao again was because I respected her decision, and a small part was because I respected her decision. It's because I misunderstood her intentions, and more because... I'm running away."
Xia Yan was stunned, "...What misunderstanding? What escape?"
It was almost dusk, and the Wensi Hall was filled with rays of light, reflecting on the body of Emperor Jianping, adding a sense of old age.
He half-closed his tiger eyes, turned the finger on his hand, and said: "Escape means the person I have a heart for, who is still pregnant with his child, and wholeheartedly treats Yueyao as a confidant, but... I am lucky... Yueyao, even if there is a reason for the incident, I still...have difficulty facing myself, so when Yueyao expressed panic and regret for what happened that night, said she was going out of the palace, and asked me to leave her alone and forget her, Although I was also very worried, to be honest, I felt a little relieved at the same time. So, after Yue-yao really left, I continued to escape."
Xia Yan's face drooped and he didn't speak.
"Misunderstood Yueyao's intentions means that from the time I met Yueyao until she finally left, she never showed me the slightest bit of meaning in that way, and she was just surprised to hear the truth about my past and pregnancy. However, there was no jealousy or sentimentality at all, including after I got lucky with her, she kept crying and insisted on leaving the palace, so I thought she was the same as me, only seeing me as a benefactor, brother and friend, so I treated Lin Fortunately, I am very conflicted about this matter and just want to escape. If this is the case, then why should I go to find her and pester her?"
"However, this is a misunderstanding." Xia Yan raised his head and said.
Emperor Jianping nodded and sighed, "My misunderstanding lasted 20 years."
"I also remembered what happened later on the day you returned to the palace from Tan Qing and the book of Yue-yao that he presented." , because I was unwell, I stopped on the field road to rest, and I happened to meet Tan Qing who was out on tour. When I was discussing with Tan Qing, Yueyao served tea by the side, so Tan Qing recognized her. Tan Qing please accompany the doctor After treating her, I found out that she was pregnant..."
"When Yueyao told me that she was going out of the palace, she acted innocently, thinking that she could stay away from disputes. In fact, she knew in her heart that Concubine Li Gui would not let her go. Therefore, she was afraid that it would be dangerous for her child to follow her. It would be dangerous to send the child back to the palace, and I don't want...to cause trouble for me, but it is the prince after all, and she didn't know what to do, so she asked Tan Qing for help." Emperor Jianping smiled heavily, "She is really very happy. Kind, wrote down her guilt about this matter in her notes, saying that if she was the only one, she would never trouble anyone."
"Tan Qing complied with Yueyao's wishes. After she gave birth, she took the child back to the Tan Mansion and raised her as his granddaughter who had just died. Since then, she has been working hard to protect the blood of Zhen and Daqi."
Xia Yan murmured: "Then I misunderstood mother's intentions, that is to say, mother actually treats my father..."
Emperor Jianping nodded heavily, "I only learned this from Yueyao's notes three years ago. It turns out that she loves me in her heart, and that love is deep and selfless. All she thinks about is how to make me feel at ease. Happy, how can I not cause trouble to me. She cried that night, not because she didn't want to be blessed by me, but because she knew that I didn't love her, but when she chose to be lucky to save her life, she felt that It has caused me trouble. So she has to go far away, and she has to cut off the source of her troubles with her own hands. When I knew this, it was also..." Emperor Jianping's tone began to tremble, "I am also sad and regretful There is no way to add..."
Xia Yan panicked, tears streaming down his face.
Emperor Jianping let him cry for a while before continuing: "Tan Qing said, as you grow up day by day, he has talked with Yueyao several times about whether to help you recover your identity. Yueyao was unwilling at first, But as time passed, her thoughts gradually changed, and finally she let go and said that she would let Tan Qing decide."
"You know what happened later. Tan Qing facilitated your marriage with Cheng Xi because she hoped to find a backer for you after his death and help you return to the court one day. The day Yueyao was killed, it was indeed true. I made an appointment with Tan Qing to come to see you." Looking up at Xia Yan, "This is all about your mother and your life experience, I have nothing to hide, and you can decide for yourself."
Xia Yan took a breath, her shoulders shook violently, and she cried even louder.
Emperor Jianping's eyes were reddened rarely, and he shook his head and said, "I've been thinking about it for the past two years. In fact, I'm very lucky, very lucky. I not only conquered the territory, became an emperor, but also possessed things that most emperors in history could never have. Two people."
Xia Yan raised her tearful eyes.
"Love and confidant." Emperor Jianping's tiger eyes were full of exhaustion, and his brows were frowned sadly, "I asked myself to be diligent in government and love the people, to be worthy of the people, of the ministers, and of the world, but... but in the end, I failed them both. I, I failed. The two of them... I don't want to let you down again, Yan'er."
Xia Yan was startled.
"Come to my side, okay?" Emperor Jianping raised his hand to him.
Xia Yan was at a loss for a while, hesitated for a moment, finally got up, sniffing, walked slowly to Emperor Jianping, stood still with his head bowed, with a face full of unwillingness, and tears fell down again.
"What do you want to say?" Emperor Jianping grabbed his hand.
Xia Yan shook her shoulders and said: "Mother, mother loves father deeply, but father only regards her as a friend."
Emperor Jianping tightly clenched Xia Yan's hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes... the one I feel sorry for most is Yueyao, even though I feel guilty, but... I can't make it up to her, I can only make it up to you." Looking at Xia Yan seriously, "Have you ever thought about why I told you everything today? Why did I fabricate a fake identity for you back then?"
Xia Yan wiped her tears and said, "In order not to make me sad? And to protect me from being hurt by Concubine Li and the others?"
Emperor Jianping shook his head and said, "This is only a small part of the reason."
"Why is that?" Xia Yan was surprised.
Emperor Jianping held Xia Yan's hand in one hand, and took out a bright yellow emperor's handkerchief to wipe his face and tears with the other, and gently threw out a sentence that Xia Yan heard like a thunderbolt——
"In order for you to personally avenge Yue Yao."
Xia Yan took a sharp breath.
Emperor Jianping's eyes were deep, and he continued: "As soon as Concubine Ligui drugged her, she was abandoned in my heart, and when I heard the news of Yueyao's death and saw you again, her abandonment became a death penalty. , and Ji Er, who has always acted domineeringly, I decided to give him one last chance. Of course, I can do these things, but if you think about it carefully, it is best for you to do it. After all, it is a mother's feud. "
"Besides, you have been raised as a boudoir lady in Tan Qing's mansion for nearly 20 years. Both your mind and your body need to be tempered. You need to experience some things to grow, and you and Xiao Cheng Aiqing also need some things. Let you get closer to each other and have a deeper relationship, so that you will never miss it. So I changed your true origin when I announced it to the world, and gave you time to discover it slowly."
"Father had already thought about all these?!" Xia Yan was surprised and suddenly realized.
"Well. Including sending you and Ji'er to Huzhou, that is the last chance I will give him. If he can distinguish right from wrong and change his mind, I will continue to recognize him as a son; if he is stubborn, then you will send his mother Complete revenge, get rid of the traitors for me, clear the future for Daqi, and you will also have credit for becoming a king in the future."
Xia Yan:! ! !
"You did a great job. Not only did you achieve what I expected, but you also saved the lives of the people. I am very pleased." After wiping his tears, Emperor Jianping touched Xia Yan's face with a smile, "And your illness , I also knew about it when your brother Ameng was treating you. I asked the Tai Hospital, and the disease could not be cured with medicine, so I decided to send the real master Chu, who once assisted me in conquering the world, as well. It is what Jing Qing's master left to me, and the elixir that can bring the dead back to life is left to you."
Xia Yan:! ! ! ! ! !
"After you took revenge for Yueyao, your condition deteriorated. I asked the Imperial Hospital to keep an eye on it. When the time is right, I will take out the elixir. I don't want to let Xiao Cheng Aiqing get there first." Emperor Jianping smiled gratifiedly, "Xiao Cheng Aiqing is a good man. Man, I am very relieved to hand you over to him. Yes, even though you are healed now, I still want to reward you with the elixir. As for whether you will use it or not, who will use it and how to use it in the future, I will not ask. As long as you Keep it secret, after all, this kind of elixir is very easy to attract people to covet."
Xia Yan's heart was full of shock, his eyes were red and his mouth was wide open, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Jianping looked at him helplessly.
"Father, I, I..." Xia Yan moved his feet uncomfortably and scratched with his hands. He was completely confused.
"I'm going to be a father soon, why do I still look like a child." Emperor Jianping raised his hand to touch his swollen belly, and then smiled, "But it's true, in front of me, you will always be a child."
Xia Yan was startled again.
"You are different from other princes." Emperor Jianping said, "Even Zhao'er and Huan'er, who were born by myself, because they were born in the palace, they knew that their father was the emperor, and they were always taught by the prince and prince. So although they also respect and love me, but when they get along with me, there is a layer of separation after all." Looking at Xia Yan, "But you came out of the blue, you don't have the air of a court, and you are not afraid of me at all, you will follow me If you lose your temper and talk stubbornly, you will resent me and worry about me, you made me realize the love between father and son like ordinary people."
Xia Yan stared blankly at Emperor Jianping.
"Yan'er." Emperor Jianping raised his hand and fondled his cheek and the top of his head, "In the future, let's be an ordinary father and son, okay?"
Xia Yan opened his eyes, and tears filled his eyes again.
Emperor Jianping pulled him, and he sat beside Emperor Jianping, stunned for a moment, but under Emperor Jianping's encouraging eyes, he finally leaned over slowly, leaning on Emperor Jianping's equally broad and strong shoulders, choked up and called out: "Dad, daddy..."
"Okay...be good." Emperor Jianping also wept, and the dignity of the emperor made him instinctively hold back immediately, and then smiled, "You are indeed very similar to Yueyao, especially the lively, free and easy, frank and lovely, fearless and fearless girl." Temperament, even crying can't stop once crying."
"I'll just cry this once, and I won't cry in the future!" Xia Yan quickly took a breath and shook his hand as a promise.
Emperor Jianping stroked the hairy top of his head and smiled peacefully from the bottom of his heart.
……
As night fell, Xia Yan walked out of the Wensi Hall, and saw Cheng Xi standing in the courtyard calmly, beside the wall that they had been drenched in the rain before.
"Are you finished talking?" Cheng Xi turned around and asked with a gentle smile.
Xia Yan's face was still a little dull, he looked at Cheng Xi seriously for a moment, then, regardless of the nearly eight-month-old womb, he ran into Cheng Xi's arms, hugged him tightly, and buried his head for a long time , then withdrew, turned around, showed a bright smile, put his hands together by his mouth, and raised his head to the sky and yelled heartily——
"'Sacrificing one's life to go to national calamity, seeing death suddenly as home!' Mother! In the dark, I have realized your ideal of serving in the army and protecting the people! Have you seen it!"
His head was screaming in pain, he panted heavily, and after calming down, he turned his head to look at Cheng Xi, held his hand, and asked expectantly with twinkling eyes: "What are we going to do now?"
"What a little fool." Cheng Xi pampered the top of his head, "At this moment, the birds are returning home, so of course we have to go home too."
……go home.
Xia Yan recited these two words in his heart, and he couldn't be more warm and happy.
In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Jianping decreed that Qin Zi'an, after demoting the emperor, should be made a commoner, and the court lady Tong's Yueyao should be named queen, and an ancestral hall should be built in Xuanwu County and the palace in Linjiang County, Huzhou, her hometown, to pay her respects.

Emperor Jianping's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "For a long time, whenever Yueyao appeared in front of me, she was full of carefree smiles, and she didn't look like she had anything to do.

Emperor Jianping sighed deeply, "At that time, I already had the idea of transferring her to Xing'an Palace, but unfortunately, Concubine Li Gui did it before the decree was delivered.

Xia Yan's eyes were red.
Emperor Jianping lowered his eyes and clenched his hands tightly, "Of course I can't just watch Yueyao die, and I can't just find someone to be with her... At that time, Yueyao's consciousness was already confused, I really didn't dare to delay any longer, so I had to... …go with the flow.”
A tear fell from Xia Yan's eye socket, he wiped it hard with the back of his hand, and said in a low voice: "If mother is still awake, she would rather die than die."
"That's right." Emperor Jianping sighed, "After the effect of the medicine was removed, I brought her back to Xing'an Hall. She cried all night, and the tears never stopped."
……
Emperor Jianping kept this matter extremely secretive.
When he was still in the Imperial Hospital, he sent people back to Xing'an Hall to prepare the bathing pool. The attendants thought that Emperor Jianping wanted to take a bath.

However, Yueyao is different after all.
After a long time, she tried hard to wipe away her tears, raised her cheeks that were soaked brightly by the hot water in the bath, opened her red and swollen eyes that had lost their luster, and sobbed, "Your Majesty, I, I want to leave the palace."
Even Emperor Jianping was a little stunned at that moment after going through many important events.

"But you are an orphan, after leaving the palace..."

"But..." Emperor Jianping hesitated.
But Yueyao got it wrong, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I, I am one of the fewest people in the world. I was born with different physiques from the four races. I won't have children, and I won't cause trouble for the Emperor." Voice go down.

Xia Yan wept again, and after a while he choked up and said, "After nearly 20 years, Father never thought of Mother, and didn't he go to find her?"
Emperor Jianping was silent.

Xia Yan was stunned, "...What misunderstanding? What escape?"
It was almost dusk, and the Wensi Hall was filled with rays of light, reflecting on the body of Emperor Jianping, adding a sense of old age.
He half-closed his tiger eyes, turned the finger on his hand, and said: "Escape means the person I have a heart for, who is still pregnant with his child, and wholeheartedly treats Yueyao as a confidant, but... I am lucky... Yueyao, even if there is a reason for the incident, I still...have difficulty facing myself, so when Yueyao expressed panic and regret for what happened that night, said she was going out of the palace, and asked me to leave her alone and forget her, Although I was also very worried, to be honest, I felt a little relieved at the same time.

If this is the case, then why should I go to find her and pester her?"
"However, this is a misunderstanding." Xia Yan raised his head and said.
Emperor Jianping nodded and sighed, "My misunderstanding lasted 20 years."
"I also remembered what happened later on the day you returned to the palace from Tan Qing and the book of Yue-yao that he presented." , because I was unwell, I stopped on the field road to rest, and I happened to meet Tan Qing who was out on tour. When I was discussing with Tan Qing, Yueyao served tea by the side, so Tan Qing recognized her. Tan Qing please accompany the doctor After treating her, I found out that she was pregnant..."
"When Yueyao told me that she was going out of the palace, she acted innocently, thinking that she could stay away from disputes. In fact, she knew in her heart that Concubine Li Gui would not let her go. Therefore, she was afraid that it would be dangerous for her child to follow her. It would be dangerous to send the child back to the palace, and I don't want...to cause trouble for me, but it is the prince after all, and she didn't know what to do, so she asked Tan Qing for help." Emperor Jianping smiled heavily, "She is really very happy. Kind, wrote down her guilt about this matter in her notes, saying that if she was the only one, she would never trouble anyone."
"Tan Qing complied with Yueyao's wishes. After she gave birth, she took the child back to the Tan Mansion and raised her as his granddaughter who had just died. Since then, she has been working hard to protect the blood of Zhen and Daqi."
Xia Yan murmured: "Then I misunderstood mother's intentions, that is to say, mother actually treats my father..."
Emperor Jianping nodded heavily, "I only learned this from Yueyao's notes three years ago. It turns out that she loves me in her heart, and that love is deep and selfless. All she thinks about is how to make me feel at ease. Happy, how can I not cause trouble to me. She cried that night, not because she didn't want to be blessed by me, but because she knew that I didn't love her, but when she chose to be lucky to save her life, she felt that It has caused me trouble. So she has to go far away, and she has to cut off the source of her troubles with her own hands. When I knew this, it was also..." Emperor Jianping's tone began to tremble, "I am also sad and regretful There is no way to add..."
Xia Yan panicked, tears streaming down his face.
Emperor Jianping let him cry for a while before continuing: "Tan Qing said, as you grow up day by day, he has talked with Yueyao several times about whether to help you recover your identity. Yueyao was unwilling at first, But as time passed, her thoughts gradually changed, and finally she let go and said that she would let Tan Qing decide."
"You know what happened later. Tan Qing facilitated your marriage with Cheng Xi because she hoped to find a backer for you after his death and help you return to the court one day. The day Yueyao was killed, it was indeed true. I made an appointment with Tan Qing to come to see you." Looking up at Xia Yan, "This is all about your mother and your life experience, I have nothing to hide, and you can decide for yourself."
Xia Yan took a breath, her shoulders shook violently, and she cried even louder.
Emperor Jianping's eyes were reddened rarely, and he shook his head and said, "I've been thinking about it for the past two years. In fact, I'm very lucky, very lucky. I not only conquered the territory, became an emperor, but also possessed things that most emperors in history could never have. Two people."
Xia Yan raised her tearful eyes.
"Love and confidant." Emperor Jianping's tiger eyes were full of exhaustion, and his brows were frowned sadly, "I asked myself to be diligent in government and love the people, to be worthy of the people, of the ministers, and of the world, but... but in the end, I failed them both. I, I failed. The two of them... I don't want to let you down again, Yan'er."
Xia Yan was startled.
"Come to my side, okay?" Emperor Jianping raised his hand to him.
Xia Yan was at a loss for a while, hesitated for a moment, finally got up, sniffing, walked slowly to Emperor Jianping, stood still with his head bowed, with a face full of unwillingness, and tears fell down again.
"What do you want to say?" Emperor Jianping grabbed his hand.
Xia Yan shook her shoulders and said: "Mother, mother loves father deeply, but father only regards her as a friend."
Emperor Jianping tightly clenched Xia Yan's hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes... the one I feel sorry for most is Yueyao, even though I feel guilty, but... I can't make it up to her, I can only make it up to you." Looking at Xia Yan seriously, "Have you ever thought about why I told you everything today? Why did I fabricate a fake identity for you back then?"
Xia Yan wiped her tears and said, "In order not to make me sad? And to protect me from being hurt by Concubine Li and the others?"
Emperor Jianping shook his head and said, "This is only a small part of the reason."
"Why is that?" Xia Yan was surprised.
Emperor Jianping held Xia Yan's hand in one hand, and took out a bright yellow emperor's handkerchief to wipe his face and tears with the other, and gently threw out a sentence that Xia Yan heard like a thunderbolt——
"In order for you to personally avenge Yue Yao."
Xia Yan took a sharp breath.
Emperor Jianping's eyes were deep, and he continued: "As soon as Concubine Ligui drugged her, she was abandoned in my heart, and when I heard the news of Yueyao's death and saw you again, her abandonment became a death penalty. , and Ji Er, who has always acted domineeringly, I decided to give him one last chance. Of course, I can do these things, but if you think about it carefully, it is best for you to do it. After all, it is a mother's feud. "
"Besides, you have been raised as a boudoir lady in Tan Qing's mansion for nearly 20 years. Both your mind and your body need to be tempered. You need to experience some things to grow, and you and Xiao Cheng Aiqing also need some things. Let you get closer to each other and have a deeper relationship, so that you will never miss it. So I changed your true origin when I announced it to the world, and gave you time to discover it slowly."
"Father had already thought about all these?!" Xia Yan was surprised and suddenly realized.
"Well. Including sending you and Ji'er to Huzhou, that is the last chance I will give him. If he can distinguish right from wrong and change his mind, I will continue to recognize him as a son; if he is stubborn, then you will send his mother Complete revenge, get rid of the traitors for me, clear the future for Daqi, and you will also have credit for becoming a king in the future."
Xia Yan:! ! !
"You did a great job. Not only did you achieve what I expected, but you also saved the lives of the people. I am very pleased." After wiping his tears, Emperor Jianping touched Xia Yan's face with a smile, "And your illness , I also knew about it when your brother Ameng was treating you. I asked the Tai Hospital, and the disease could not be cured with medicine, so I decided to send the real master Chu, who once assisted me in conquering the world, as well. It is what Jing Qing's master left to me, and the elixir that can bring the dead back to life is left to you."
Xia Yan:! ! ! ! ! !
"After you took revenge for Yueyao, your condition deteriorated. I asked the Imperial Hospital to keep an eye on it. When the time is right, I will take out the elixir. I don't want to let Xiao Cheng Aiqing get there first." Emperor Jianping smiled gratifiedly, "Xiao Cheng Aiqing is a good man. Man, I am very relieved to hand you over to him. Yes, even though you are healed now, I still want to reward you with the elixir. As for whether you will use it or not, who will use it and how to use it in the future, I will not ask. As long as you Keep it secret, after all, this kind of elixir is very easy to attract people to covet."
Xia Yan's heart was full of shock, his eyes were red and his mouth was wide open, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Jianping looked at him helplessly.
"Father, I, I..." Xia Yan moved his feet uncomfortably and scratched with his hands. He was completely confused.
"I'm going to be a father soon, why do I still look like a child." Emperor Jianping raised his hand to touch his swollen belly, and then smiled, "But it's true, in front of me, you will always be a child."
Xia Yan was startled again.
"You are different from other princes." Emperor Jianping said, "Even Zhao'er and Huan'er, who were born by myself, because they were born in the palace, they knew that their father was the emperor, and they were always taught by the prince and prince. So although they also respect and love me, but when they get along with me, there is a layer of separation after all." Looking at Xia Yan, "But you came out of the blue, you don't have the air of a court, and you are not afraid of me at all, you will follow me If you lose your temper and talk stubbornly, you will resent me and worry about me, you made me realize the love between father and son like ordinary people."
Xia Yan stared blankly at Emperor Jianping.
"Yan'er." Emperor Jianping raised his hand and fondled his cheek and the top of his head, "In the future, let's be an ordinary father and son, okay?"
Xia Yan opened his eyes, and tears filled his eyes again.
Emperor Jianping pulled him, and he sat beside Emperor Jianping, stunned for a moment, but under Emperor Jianping's encouraging eyes, he finally leaned over slowly, leaning on Emperor Jianping's equally broad and strong shoulders, choked up and called out: "Dad, daddy..."
"Okay...be good." Emperor Jianping also wept, and the dignity of the emperor made him instinctively hold back immediately, and then smiled, "You are indeed very similar to Yueyao, especially the lively, free and easy, frank and lovely, fearless and fearless girl." Temperament, even crying can't stop once crying."
"I'll just cry this once, and I won't cry in the future!" Xia Yan quickly took a breath and shook his hand as a promise.
Emperor Jianping stroked the hairy top of his head and smiled peacefully from the bottom of his heart.
……
As night fell, Xia Yan walked out of the Wensi Hall, and saw Cheng Xi standing in the courtyard calmly, beside the wall that they had been drenched in the rain before.
"Are you finished talking?" Cheng Xi turned around and asked with a gentle smile.
Xia Yan's face was still a little dull, he looked at Cheng Xi seriously for a moment, then, regardless of the nearly eight-month-old womb, he ran into Cheng Xi's arms, hugged him tightly, and buried his head for a long time , then withdrew, turned around, showed a bright smile, put his hands together by his mouth, and raised his head to the sky and yelled heartily——
"'Sacrificing one's life to go to national calamity, seeing death suddenly as home!' Mother! In the dark, I have realized your ideal of serving in the army and protecting the people! Have you seen it!"
His head was screaming in pain, he panted heavily, and after calming down, he turned his head to look at Cheng Xi, held his hand, and asked expectantly with twinkling eyes: "What are we going to do now?"
"What a little fool." Cheng Xi pampered the top of his head, "At this moment, the birds are returning home, so of course we have to go home too."
……go home.
Xia Yan recited these two words in his heart, and he couldn't be more warm and happy.
In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Jianping decreed that Qin Zi'an, after demoting the emperor, should be made a commoner, and the court lady Tong's Yueyao should be named queen, and an ancestral hall should be built in Xuanwu County and the palace in Linjiang County, Huzhou, her hometown, to pay her respects.
