One of Ouyang Shaogong's colleagues, Chang'an

In the boudoir.

The woman woke up leisurely, and the aloes had lingered all over the room.Like a waterfall of ink spreading on the pillow, the thin man lay on his side, the tip of his nose lightly touching her shoulder.Xun Fang smiled gently, such a peaceful and calm feeling is really good and lasts a long time.

"You're awake."

Sensing her slight movements, Shang Qingyu immediately woke up, stood up, and looked down at her with concern, "Is it all right?"

"I'm fine. I slept for a long time just now, and I feel much more awake. It's you——sleeping next to me like this. Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

She stretched out her hand from the quilt and gently stroked his face, "You look a little haggard, you are tired of taking care of me."

"of course not."

He held her hand with complicated emotions, but a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Xun'er, do you know that you--are pregnant--you have our child--"

She was shocked when she heard the words, she couldn't believe her ears, her fingers were stiff in his palm, "You, what are you talking about--I--"

"It's true, he's been there for two months—I'm sorry, I, a doctor, didn't find out until now, which made you tired and almost fainted in my arms today."

He said guiltily, holding her hand and covering her belly that was warmed by the blanket, "You can't feel his size yet, but his breath should respond."

She slightly calmed down her surprised and nervous mood, and tried to feel the movement of air flow in her body with the palm of her hand.There seemed to be some scorching heat in the always cold abdominal cavity, concentrated in a certain place and slightly exuded power that did not belong to her body, and it was impossible to judge whether this power and her spiritual power complemented each other or contradicted each other.

But no matter what, it's her child, it's the child of her and her beloved man--she must protect him from being born safely and growing up healthily--

"Husband, you can't leave me now."

After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her head and said, with earnest and firm pleas in her eyes, "Maybe I am worrying unfoundedly—I am always worried that your heart is not with me, not even in Penglai—I always feel that you have to travel far away to find me. place, and I can't keep you no matter what - but now I'm pregnant with your child, can this - be a reason to keep you?"

"Xunfang, what nonsense are you talking about?! Being with you is my life, no, it is the happiest and luckiest thing I have been living so far--I only want to be with you forever, and I don't want anything else-- "

The prince Changqin was heartbroken. What he worried about day and night was that his body could not support him, and he had to leave her again to cross the soul-but the crossing soul was just to accompany her to the end-before her life was exhausted, he How could he die so easily, how could he let her accompany him to die for love? !

"This is what you said, please remember."

She smiled reassuringly, "I feel the same way - as long as Xun Fang lives in this world, she will be with you and never be separated."

At this moment, she didn't know that when they reunited in the future with strange faces, they didn't know each other, and they hurt each other so badly--

By the river in the outskirts.

"It's well done, but the shape of the bamboo strips needs to be softer, so that the curvature of the petals won't be so abrupt—"

The woman in pink is sitting on the green grass by the river, surrounded by ignorant children. There are river lanterns of various sizes scattered on the ground, in various shapes such as lotus, plum blossom, and lily. The workmanship varies from fine to rough. It can be seen at a glance that the immature technique comes from children, and the bold imagination is also staggering.

"Sister Xunfang is really amazing!"

A boy with a thick head and a thick head exclaimed, the originally deformed river lantern in his hand was slightly twisted by the woman, and the lines were immediately more harmonious and plump.

"No, it's just that I have done more than you."

Xunfang smiled gently, and stroked his head lovingly, "When you reach my age, you must do better than me, and then you can give it to the girl you like, for example, Ah Lan--"

"Ah--my princess--what did you say--"

The girl named Alan was only ten years old, her face flushed immediately, and she turned away in shame. The other children were stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Haha, look, Jun Ning's face is so red--"

Xun Fang looked over with a smile, the boy whose head was touched by her just now lowered his head shyly, his ears were faintly red.

"Why are you still shy? You can't do this. You won't be able to catch up with girls in the future."

She held his face with one hand in a serious manner, forcing him to look up at her, "Tell me, do you like Qinglan?"

"I--"

The boy waved his hands in a panic and stammered, "I didn't—"

"Believe it or not! You're blushing, like a tomato—our princess says yes—"

The children continued to boo, and he became more embarrassed and anxious, and in a hurry, he blurted out: "I only like sister Xunfang--"

Not far away, under the bamboo shadow of Concubine Xiang, there is a tall figure standing tall, with a blue robe fluttering slowly in the evening wind, looking quite dusty.

He originally watched Xunfang play with the children silently, his eyes were full of tenderness, and the corner of his mouth raised a gratifying smile, but now he froze, as if he heard something uncomfortable.

The frown was fleeting.He shook his head slightly, and sighed helplessly, as if mocking himself.When do you get jealous with a child.When ordinary children are that old, they are "childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts", and they know what it means to like.Xun Fang looks like she is only in her twenties, she is beautiful, dignified and gentle, she is naturally admirable, no matter if it is a boy or a man.

The children were as attached to her as they were to him.When those juicy girls pestered him to play the piano, Xun Fang was also jealous.

After the children were inexplicably silent for a while, suddenly a big laugh broke out, which immediately led to uncontrollable bursts of laughter from everyone.

Xun Fang herself also leaned forward and back, leaned over to support the ground with her left hand, covered her stomach with her right hand, and almost burst into laughter.Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a hot and dry air coming from his stomach, and immediately he convulsed violently, and couldn't help (groaning).

"Sister Xunfang, what's wrong with you?"

Jun Ning immediately reacted and supported her worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

She only felt that the breath of the fetus became restless, and the heat flow began to rampage, encroaching on her own spiritual defense, and cold sweat began to break out on her forehead.

"I'm fine--help me find Qing Yu--"

Before the words were finished, the man in blue had already come to her side, and picked her up with his hands, his hands were a little tense.

"Husband--"

She froze for a moment, then slightly stretched her frowning brows, "You came so fast—have you been—near here—"

"Stop talking like that—I'll take you to rest."

He whispered, but the anxiety in his voice couldn't be concealed, and the phoenix eyes staring at her were full of distress.The children quieted down, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

"You go home first, the princess is fine, don't worry."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to leave.

"I'll be fine soon--you go back first--it's late--your parents need to worry--"

Seeing their nervous and frightened appearance, she tried her best to endure the pain, and comforted them softly with a soothing tone.

The children still watched her worriedly for a while, and then dispersed when they saw Shang Qingyu's face became more and more gloomy.Only Jun Ning was left alone.

"My lord son-in-law, whether I can follow you and the princess--I'm worried--it's all my fault--"

"It's none of your business, it's—"

If you want to blame, you should blame me—it was my spiritual power that collided with her—

"If you want to follow, come and watch outside the room."

inside the room.

"Take my hand and relax, it will quiet down soon--"

He stroked her swollen abdomen, her body surface heaving due to the turbulent airflow.Her palms were full of cold sweat.After a long time, the breath gradually stabilized.The clothes are already soaked.

"Does it still hurt?"

Looking at her pale face and almost transparent lips, he was heartbroken.

She shook her head slightly, but couldn't say any more.

"You have a good rest, I'll make some medicine for you."

She gave a very low hum, and closed her eyes wearily.Jun Ning was waiting outside the door. Seeing him coming out, she wanted to ask about the situation, so she went in to check on him. Seeing that his expression was condensed, she couldn't open her mouth, and just sat silently on the steps.

About half an hour later, Shang Qingyu came out of the kitchen with a bowl of decoction, with a complicated expression on his face.

Seeing that Jun Ning was still at the door, he raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you going back? The princess is fine and has fallen asleep."

"I—but don't you still want to deliver her medicine? I think, I want to apologize to her."

Shang Qingyu almost said "no need". Seeing his sincerity, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he said, "Go to the study next to you and wait. It's cold outside, so be careful of catching cold. I'll call you in after she finishes drinking."

"Okay, thank you, Lord Consort!"

Jun Ning smiled sincerely, bowed deeply, and then went to the study.

"Come on, drink this and you'll be fine."

Shang Qingyu slowly helped Xunfang up, and handed her the bowl in his hand.There was a vague and strange fragrance in the smell of herbs, which made her feel a little uncomfortable for some reason.She stared at the brown liquid for a long time, then asked casually, "What's in it?"

He was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect her to ask such a question suddenly, he raised his head to meet her questioning gaze, he felt dazzling and compelling, he had just accumulated heavy and complicated emotions for a long time, like algae on the seabed being stirred suddenly, tumbling uneasy.

"It's just an ordinary tocotropic drug, nothing else."

"is it?"

Accompanying him to practice medicine and dispensing medicine for a long time, she can be regarded as a half-doctor. After being pregnant with a child this time, she is even more careful. She has read a lot of medical classics and is particularly sensitive to special medicines. I can smell a little cinnamon?"

His eyes trembled, "How is it possible? Gui Xing Xin San can pass through the uterus and break the blood. How could I give you the cinnamon for abortion?"

Seeing his face turn pale, she confirmed the suspicion in her heart even more, she suddenly felt pain and anger, unstoppable, she raised her hand and knocked over the soup, the porcelain shattered all over the place.

"Okay, Qingyu, you, you are really my good husband!"

She was trembling all over, pointing at him, her eyes were angry and sad, he had never seen her so angry, he couldn't help being flustered and anxious, "Xun Fang, calm down, things are not what you think--"

"You don't need to say any more! I don't want to see you again, you get out!"

"Xunfang--"

He held her hand in pain, with a sad look on his face, "Calm down, be careful of the baby in your belly--don't move your baby--"

"How dare you say it! Don't you want him?"

Her tone changed, and she wanted to shake off his hand forcefully, but she also cared that the fetus would suffocate, so she used the other hand to protect her swollen abdomen, trying to let herself pant gently, "You go, you stay here, I won't Know what to expect--"

"Xunfang--"

Seeing her turning her head away, he didn't want to look at him any more, he was extremely disgusted and hated, he couldn't help feeling sad, and slowly let go of her hand.

"Take care, I'll go out first, wait--I'll come to see you again when your anger subsides."

Standing up, his eyes glanced at the mess, the cold broken porcelain seemed to be mocking his fate.He sighed, walked out of the room with heavy steps, and closed the door behind him.

"Master Consort."

A timid child's voice.He was taken aback and realized that Jun Ning hadn't left yet. "You go back, tonight she - a little unwell, fell asleep."

"She—did she misunderstand you?"

The child's face was reddish, but his expression was serious and solemn, "I'm sorry to hear your voices—but I believe you—you are too worried about the safety of the princess—her body—"

His heart softened, he didn't expect to be so sensitive here.

"Thank you. I will take care of our affairs, don't worry, she will get better soon, you go back first, good boy."

Jun Ning nodded slightly, "Your medical skills are obvious to all, but--I hope the princess can also forgive the princess--she likes children very much--she cherishes your children--before--"

"Before what?"

He frowned.

"I shouldn't tell you, but--the matter is now and there is nothing to hide. In fact, she had an attack once before, at Chen Xiangting's place--I was so scared at the time--she told me not to tell anyone, especially it's you-"

Jun Ning suddenly lifted her robe and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "I disobeyed the princess' order - but - I don't want anything to happen to her - she wants this child so much, she is willing to risk her life - the character of the princess We all know that she is very gentle on the outside, but she is actually very persistent. In order to marry you, she was punished by the empress to kneel in the ancestral hall—"

He looked at him in shock, "You, what did you say-"

She has paid so much for him—it turns out he was the one who was kept in the dark—

"I beg Brother Qingyu to protect Sister Xunfang--we-we can't lose her--"

The teenagers couldn't help but change their minds. The youngest but most popular princess in Penglai had a very special meaning to them.

"I know, I will make her safe, believe me."

He lifted the child up vigorously, "As long as I am alive, I will protect her from any danger in this life."

Even if your life dies, your soul will stay with you forever.

An hour later.

Shang Qingyu slowly pushed the door open and entered.The lights in the room had been extinguished, he waved his sleeves and lit a white candle, Xun Fang was sleeping on the inside.

He came to the edge of the bed and sat down, reaching out and gently covering her soft temple hair.She moved slightly, as if trying to resist, but in the end she didn't move.

"I know you're not asleep, stop pretending--I know you don't want to talk to me."

He sighed softly, feeling helpless and sentimental, but he didn't stop touching her, "But you didn't reject me, right. Xun Fang, you are my wife, and we will live together for a long, long time— "

The people under him trembled slightly, as if they were sobbing.

His heart tightened, and he moved his fingers along the pinna, and sure enough, he touched the moisture at the corner of his eyes.

"You cried--"

He hugged her tightly through the quilt, "I'm sorry--I should have come in earlier, I'm afraid you won't forgive me--have you been sad for a long time, have you been crying just now--"

She choked up a few times, and finally cried out, "What else are you here for? You don't want a child, and you don't want me--"

He was heartbroken, but she misunderstood him so deeply, "Xun'er, what are you thinking about? I love you, and I love the child. I want this child as much as you--but--I am more worried about you-- Do you know what he will bring you?"

"I know, it's just harder than ordinary people, I don't care, so many days have passed, I'm fine with you, but why don't you give him a chance to be born?!"

She was filled with grief and anger, and her body trembled even more.

"These are just a prelude. When he grows up, his spiritual power will be more powerful. Your body can't bear it at all-I've been worried these days-I almost scared me to death today-Xun'er, you know, just now --I think I'm going to lose you--"

His eyes flickered, "Every time I see your pregnancy reaction is so serious, you vomit badly after taking any supplements, I can only feel pain in my heart, I know there is no way--but just now--you still refuse to tell me-- It's happened before—do you know that something will happen if this continues! Maybe you were the day he was born—no, how can I allow this kind of thing, I only have one thought—I want to keep you, I only want you— -For you, I could even kill him with my own hands--"

"So—you're going to lie to me with abortion pills?!"

"No--I wanted to take him off! But I couldn't--I knew you'd go crazy--and you'd never forgive me--"

His eyelashes gradually moistened, "I did stew the cinnamon, but I poured it out again--the aroma was on my hands--how could I bear to let you suffer this pain--I can't forgive myself--"

His hand moved down slowly, stroking her abdomen through the quilt, "You don't even have to die for him--what can I do--all I can do is to keep you both with all my strength--no one can have trouble-- -"

Even if I use up all the power of my soul—even if we can no longer be together—you have to live, you and the child have to live—

"Husband--"

She was sour and touched, with mixed feelings, she couldn't help stretching her arms out of the bed, and took his hand with her hand, "I know you are worried about me-I don't blame you-I just-just want our child too much - I didn't have such a plan at first, Penglai people have a long life span, it is difficult to conceive, and the husband has a special physique - I just want to stay with you in this life, I hope you don't go to cross the soul again, I want to go with you death--but when I found out that I was pregnant that day, I was so happy that I was crazy--I am a selfish woman--I just want us to live for a long time--the child cannot live without a father, I only hope that you will find that other father as soon as possible Half of the soul—even if it makes my hands bloody, I can't care—"

"No, you and the child will be clean and free from any sin—"

He slowly turned her body around and held her in his arms, and kissed her forehead deeply, "Promise me that no matter what happens, you will live well, believe me——no matter where we are, we will save the day."

"If I can give birth to him safely, I will leave him here temporarily and help you find the Fenji Sword together."

She stared at him persistently, "I used to sacrifice myself for the sake of the common people, and felt that I was noble even if I was not selfless, but now I would rather be a selfish little person frankly--I don't care that much--I just want You, and our child—we want to live happily together—Changqin, God has already treated you unfairly, even if it is the price to pay for getting back what you deserve—I am willing to bear this sin for you, give up The wheel of my lifetimes--"

"No! Don't say such things!"

He covered her lips, his face turned pale with fright, and his fingers kept trembling, "No way! Xun Fang, I don't ask for anything else, as long as you stay with me in this life-accompany you to the end of your life- - In the next life you should forget about me--Don't have anything to do with me--People like me will only bring people a painful fate--I have made you suffer too much--You have lived through life and life, and there are many more Opportunity, meeting normal human beings, getting married and having children-you fool-you actually said such a thing, and cursed yourself-I should really give you a dumb drug, so that you can never say such a terrible curse again!"
