after rebirth

Du Jinrong's nightmare began when he was running alone in the rainforest. The humid air adhered to his skin and followed him like a maggot attached to the bone. As he kept running, the smell of rancidity and blood filled his brain, making him dizzy. With a sound of "嗖", there was a piercing pain on the foot, and an arrow pierced through the right calf, and the arrow with flesh and blood piercing out looked so hideous, but it didn't feel much pain, it was stuffy as if separated by a layer of pain. What.

The roar of a leopard was heard not far away, and a burst of joy came from Du Jinrong's dull brain, and then he became more drowsy, cleared up again, and the scene in the dream changed again. The dense rainforest disappeared, and a lookout appeared. The endless grassland was suddenly so empty. Du Jin looked at the end of the grassland in confusion, as if the end of the sky was so far away.Suddenly, the neighing of a horse came from around him. Du Jinrong turned around, and a machete came towards him. His body reacted, and a long spear appeared in his hand at some point. The sound of flesh being torn apart came along the barrel of the red tasseled spear, but his ears seemed to be covered with mush, and all the sounds that came from him were so indistinct. When he turned his eyes, he saw Hao Ren struggling to kill the enemy , It's a pity that there are too many enemies, but a short distance seems to be a long way away, and they can't get close no matter what.

Hao Ren screamed in pain, Du Jinyong complained in a daze, pay attention to your surroundings, don't try to get close to me!

Du Jinrong saw a piercing expression on Hao Ren's face, followed by a dull pain in his abdomen. Du Jinrong's heart skipped a beat, and he looked down to see the horrific scene.The fetus curled up in his arms was immature and weak. The umbilical cord was clearly connected to him, but he couldn't feel at ease. He could only watch helplessly as the child fell slowly. A huge abyss appeared under his feet, and the child fell into it. The umbilical cords of the two continued to grow longer, and even he began to fall into the abyss.

Looking up without sadness or joy, Du Jinrong saw Zhao Hengxu screaming in pain outside the abyss, and felt relieved in his heart.

It's over, it's over...

Do not--

Du Jinrong struggled vigorously, stretched his hand upwards desperately, and kept reaching for Zhao Hengxu, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save me, save our child."

Zhao Hengxu, who was crying bitterly, disappeared, and was replaced by someone who looked at him indifferently and condescendingly, with his lips slightly parted, and an indifferent "kneel down", which made his heart sink continuously.

The dark abyss seemed to have suddenly turned into the Palace of Funing on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival. Kneeling alone on the cold ground, the injured right foot throbbed, but it was not as painful as the tearing of the chest.

"Ah!" Du Jinrong yelled, yelling frantically, tightly grasping the umbilical cord connecting him, his child, his baby, the only warmth he could hold tightly to, don't disappear, don't leave me!

……

Du Jinrong was talking incoherently about his grotesque dreams, and the panic in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. He clutched Zhao Hengxu's lapel tightly, and pressed his face against his chest. Feeling the regular beating under the warm chest, his panicked heart gradually recovered. redemption.

"Jin Rong had a nightmare. In your dream, I was so hateful." Zhao Hengxu pulled the corners of his mouth and said with difficulty. His face was pale, his lips moved feebly, and his eyes stared straight at the dark place. In the corner, the light in the eyes flickers on and off, with emotions that people can't see clearly.The hand holding Du Jinrong was still so gentle, while the other free hand was tightly held, and the short nails pinched the palm of the hand fiercely. Such a slight pain could not calm his torn heart at all. one two.

"Your Majesty, it's Jinrong's fault. There shouldn't be such a dream." After finishing the dream, Du Jinrong's flustered heart was at ease, and only then did he realize that he was leaning against His Majesty's arms without shame, his cheeks tightened. Clinging tightly to His Majesty's bare and bare chest, she blushed and was about to get up as soon as she stretched her hands.

Zhao Hengxu stubbornly refused to let Du Jinrong leave, and stroked Du Jinrong's thin back with one hand, "Jinrong, if you have nightmares again in the future, call me by my name, and if I treat you badly, you can scold me until I wake up, you know?" ?”

"……Oh."

"Jinrong go to sleep, I'll watch over you, you won't have nightmares anymore."

"Yeah." Du Jinrong closed her eyes obediently, the warm skin was pressed against her cheeks, and Zhao Hengxu's strong and steady heartbeat could be heard next to her ears. Because the scene in the dream was so real, Du Jinrong didn't feel sleepy all of a sudden, leaning against Zhao Hengxu In his arms, quietly enjoying the tranquility and warmth of this moment, a thought popped up in his heart, it would be great if the tranquility of this moment was forever.

Zhao Hengxu pulled the silk quilt around Du Jinrong, patted Du Jinrong's back intermittently with one hand, soothing Du Jinrong's mood, but his own heart drifted far away.

Du Jinrong didn't know that the dreams he was talking about hurt Zhao Hengxu's heart so much, because they were all real, they happened in the previous life, over and over again Ling Chi's withered heart after losing Du Jinrong.

Mid-autumn night, he was punished to kneel in anger, he was killed by the rainforest in Liangzhou, and the grassland struggled to break through alone. The grassland, the vast and quiet grassland is Zhao Hengxu's nightmare day and night, because he is fighting against the Huns During the battle, Du Jinrong was ambushed, alone, and seriously injured. The child who was nearly seven months pregnant was gone, and Du Jinrong also collapsed to death. When the news came to him, it was too late. He didn't even see Du Jinrong's last look.

Hehe, what did he do later, he didn't even take care of their eldest son when he was sad, no, he was a bastard, at that time he didn't even know that his own blood was flowing in the veins of that child, making that thin The helpless child drowned in the deep lotus pond in Anwuhou Mansion. The child must have been in pain, and must have complained about his irresponsible father.

How ridiculous, you don't know how to cherish everything until you lose it.

There was a burst of fishy sweetness in his throat, and Zhao Hengxu swallowed it back without changing his expression, a trace of bright red was reflected in the corner of his mouth, which quickly disappeared.

After all, the biggest sinner who hurt Du Jinrong and the child was himself, himself, just like in Du Jinrong's dream, after crying and mourning, he was so domineering and naturally enjoyed Du Jinrong He also despised Du Jinrong's unfailing love, haha, the biggest sinner, the biggest sinner actually watched all the people who had hurt Du Jinrong die before he died, God really did him a favor.

Zhao Hengxu rubbed his chin against the top of Du Jinrong's hair. Du Jinrong's hair was soft and moist, just like his person, making it hard to put it down.Jin Rong, God gave me a chance to start over, to make up for all my mistakes in this life, but how can I make up for the pain you suffered in the previous life!

The tightly clenched fists were released, and they reached into the quilt to hold Du Jinrong's hand that was naturally placed on his body. Suddenly, his hand touched a trace of coldness, so cold to the bottom of his heart, the smooth and moist touch was so familiar.

Zhao Hengxu was startled, he pulled out Du Jinrong's hand and looked at the faint candlelight, his heart turned cold, "Jinrong Jinrong."

"Huh?" Du Jinrong was woken up in a daze, and looked up at Zhao Hengxu with hazy eyes.

At this moment, Du Jinrong was no longer the calm and self-possessed person in the past, and looked so cute, which made his anxious heart flutter a little, but it was more of a heaviness that he couldn't get rid of no matter what.

"Jinrong, look at what you are wearing on your wrist. When did you put it on?" Zhao Hengxu carried Du Jinrong back to the palace. He tasted everything from inside to outside, from top to bottom. It was impossible for him not to know, but he still asked without giving up.

Du Jinrong blinked, looked intently at her wrist, and shook her head, "I don't know, did your Majesty put it on Jinrong?" After becoming Jinrong, although he still called His Majesty Zhao Hengxu, Zhao Hengxu was very satisfied with this change. "Jin Rong put the bracelet in her handbag."

Marching and fighting made Du Jinrong a habit of putting all important things in the handbags that he carried with him. Zhao Hengxu saw the plain handbags on the gilded camphor wood box against the wall with a glance.

Zhao Hengxu reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth, and his heart sank even more when he heard what Du Jinrong said next, "When did Jinrong get the bracelet?"

"On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival." Du Jinrong adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable. "That night, my subordinates were..."

"Hmm!" Although he was very anxious to know how Du Jinrong got the bracelet, Zhao Hengxu was more concerned about Du Jinrong's claim.

Du Jinrong paused, then changed his words: "Jinrong was on duty that night, and a little eunuch sent a string of bracelets to thank Jinrong for saving him a while ago. Jinrong said something when he was being punished. It was just good words, the little eunuch put down the bracelet and left, Jin Rong had no choice but to put the bracelet in his arms and return it to him when he met the man again, but for some reason, the bracelet was put on Jin Rong's wrist. Later His Majesty asked Yuan Bao to find Jin Rong, Jin Rong was on the way to Shengping Hall, her head was dizzy all the way, and there were many fragments stuffed into her mind, but she couldn't grasp any of them when she thought about it carefully."

Zhao Hengxu swallowed nervously, "Jin Rong doesn't remember anything?"

"En." Du Jinrong nodded earnestly. At that time, he was in a trance. He clearly knew that His Majesty was talking to him, was... kissing himself, but his expression was in a trance, as if his soul was standing outside his body, coldly facing the bystanders. . "Your Majesty, this bracelet is weird. Jin Rong has never worn it since. She asked Yuan Bao to look for the little eunuch, but it was still in the bag. It's so strange, why is it on the wrist again? "

While speaking, Du Jinrong went to pick the bracelets. The plain beige beeswax bracelets should be worn all year round. The beads look round and reveal a moist and accessible feeling. They are simple and generous without looking dull and dignified. The kind elder looked at him lovingly with soft eyes.

"Yes, it's quite evil, just throw it away." He snatched the bracelet from Du Jinrong's hand and quickly threw it on the bed by the window. The bracelet made a series of clattering noises and fell into darkness, but Zhao Hengxu was able to Keenly caught its figure, the surrounding darkness seemed to be fading slowly, and it became the focus of my eyes. How could the bracelet that should have been brought into the underground palace in the previous life to wear on Jin Rong's wrist appear here? He, Jinrong would have fragmented past life memories.

Zhao Hengxu shuddered violently, flustered in his heart, could it be, could it be that if Du Jin wore it for a long time, he would have all the memories of his previous life, would remember how he treated him cruelly, and then become more and more alienated from himself.Don't, don't do this, Zhao Hengxu absolutely won't allow this to happen. The bracelet that was cherished and never left him in his previous life has become a nightmare in this life. It was so deep in the heart of the mighty emperor.

"Your Majesty is cold! It's windy outside, go to sleep." Pulling the quilt, I felt that the silk quilt in my hand was a little thinner, and I should ask Caiwei to change it tomorrow. Thinking this way, I forgot to ask about the bracelet, Zhao Hengxu It seems to be afraid of it.

----------------

Sure enough, the sky has changed. Last night's strong wind brought today's heavy rain. In the early morning, the sky was as dark as night, and the heavy rain poured down, making crackling noises on the ground. Trees, flowers and plants were swaying here and there, and an oiled paper umbrella hurriedly came over from a distance, Yuan Bao was almost soaked through, and raindrops were dripping from the hairline.

"Aunt Caiwei, is the young master awake?" Yuan Bao asked quietly outside the door through the curtain.

Caiwei put down the needle and thread in her hand, lifted the curtain and stood outside the door and whispered back, "Not yet, my lord didn't sleep well last night, your majesty asked me to light the incense for calming the nerves, what's the matter, father-in-law?" Carefully prepared, absolutely safe.

"Your Majesty is worried about your son, let me come and have a look."

"Ah."

The emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty had a small court every three days, and a big court every five days. Today is neither a big court nor a small court meeting, but Zhao Hengxu asked his subordinates to give a temporary notice that officials of the fifth rank and above must be allowed to participate in today's temporary court meeting. He also specially sent the Imperial Forest Army to guard and send it.Everyone came here with a bowl of thick ginger soup. When they came, they brought their own clothes and changed into clean clothes before going to court.

"Heavy rain in the middle of Beijing will inevitably cause some houses to collapse. People's lives will be inconvenient, and it will cause diseases after a long time. What do you think and do?" Zhao Hengxu knows it. In the past year, there were natural disasters and man-made disasters in the country, and there were many catastrophes and minor disasters. Some people who refused to obey him used this as an excuse to attack him-the emperor was not benevolent, so there would be disasters and crimes on the people for years. This is the punishment of heaven and earth. Warning.Especially the appearance of that thing pushed him to the cusp of the storm, and the majesty of the imperial power was in jeopardy. If he hadn't held the military power in his hands, the people below would have turned against him long ago.

Winter is coming and so is that thing.

All the officials whispered, it was uncomfortable enough to be dug out of a clean and warm home, but now it is not worth it because of a rain that will not last long to mobilize the crowd, right?And they are not prepared in advance, where to start?

"Is there no explanation?" Zhao Hengxu glanced at the officials lightly, making the buzzing crowd gradually quiet down. "then what should we do?"
