Chapter 341: No Time in the Mountains
Shang Xi didn't hold back when he kicked. In front of Xiao Ning, he might seem a little "weak", but he was an adult man after all. Zhao Zhiyuan felt a fishy-sweet taste in his throat after being kicked.
The wound on the back seemed to have broken open.
Zhao Zhiyuan was sweating profusely from the pain and lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up.
Just humming a few broken notes.
After Xiao Ning calmed Shang Xi down, he ordered, "Why don't you quickly drag this man away and hand him over to the Jingzhao Prefecture for punishment?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone entered the hall and dragged Zhao Zhiyuan, who was lying on the ground and unable to get up, away.
At this time, Furong also brought in the imperial physician.
When the palace servants reported that Chen Ran and Zhao Zhiyuan had arrived, Furong followed Shang Xi's orders and went to invite the imperial physician.
After the imperial physician came in and examined Shen Ran, he sighed.
"My wife's constitution is somewhat cold, making it difficult for her to conceive. Now she is heartbroken and hurting her body. She didn't take good care of herself after the miscarriage. I'm afraid...it will be difficult for her to conceive again in the future."
Chen Ran's eyelashes trembled, and she smiled and said, "It's okay. I know my own body well. I'll trouble the imperial physician."
When the imperial physician left, Xiao Ning followed him out, leaving the space to the brother and sister.
Shang Xi said, "Stay in the palace first and let the imperial physician take good care of you."
Shen Ran shook her head and said, "I've already caused you a lot of trouble today. After all, I'm a member of the Shen family, and it's not appropriate for me to live in the palace."
Shang Xi said, "What's inappropriate? Aning doesn't care about that."
Chen Ran said, "Brother, she is the emperor now after all. I know she cares about you. You can be arrogant because of her favor, but you can't be too reckless. After all... the emperor's heart is unpredictable."
Shang Xi lowered his eyes and whispered, "She won't do that. She said she only loves me in this life."
Shen Ran stepped forward and hugged Shang Xi gently.
"Thank you, brother."
"I'm leaving now. Take care. If I have the chance in the future, I'll come to the palace to see you again."
After Shen Ran finished speaking, she let go of him and left the hall.
Shang Xi stood there, staring at her back in a daze.
When she was Princess Duanhui, Chen Ran would often come close to him. He was always too vigilant, worried that she had some plans, and was unwilling to get too close to her.
now……
He will never see that bright girl again.
When Xiao Ning came in again, Shang Xi was still standing there in a daze.
She sighed softly, walked over, hugged him in her arms, and patted his back.
"I have already told the imperial physician to stay outside the palace and take care of Shen Ran until she recovers. Don't worry."
Shang Xi hugged her, closed his eyes, and rubbed her shoulder.
"Aning, when she was a princess, she often came to play with me, but I didn't want to get close to her. Now..."
"It's okay, there's still a lot of time left, and you've only lived half of your life."
Shang Xi shook his head.
"I killed Chen Xiang with my own hands, and Shen Zhiyi also died because of me. Although we are blood relatives from the same mother, there is also a blood feud between us..."
"Aning, I am indeed destined to be alone. Apart from you, I have nothing."
No father, no mother, no siblings, and no fate with children...
If it weren't for Xiao Ning who came from another world, he would be a lonely man.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch Xiao Ning's lower abdomen.
If only they could have children who were related to them by blood...
But he...
Thinking of this, Shang Xi became more resentful of Chen Xiang.
I wish I could drag the person out and whip the corpse again to vent my anger.
What evil had he done in his previous life to be reborn as Shen Shulan's child and be cruelly harmed by him like this!
Xiao Ning felt Shang Xi touching his lower abdomen.
In fact, she lied to Shang Xi when she said she didn't want to have children. If possible, she still wanted to have a child of her own.
It would be best if it was a beautiful daughter who looked a bit like Shang Xi.
pity……
He was sensitive and suspicious by nature, and due to his physical condition, she didn't even dare to bring up this topic, for fear that he would think too much and upset her.
I could only order the imperial physician to take good care of him.
If it is possible, take it; if not, forget it.
Xiao Ning patted Shang Xi, "Okay, don't be sad. I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare delicious food for lunch. Let's go, it's almost time, let's go serve the meal."
…
After finishing arranging the things at hand, Xiao Ning ordered someone to pick up Yuzhu.
Worried that Yuzhu would be scared, Xiao Ning wrote a letter himself and asked someone to take it with him.
Seeing that Xiao Ning attached so much importance to the girl named Yuzhu, Li Yuan asked, "Let me go there. It happens that I have nothing to do these two days."
After listening to Shang Xi's advice that day, Xiao Ning recommended several old ministers from aristocratic families to meet the emperor under his screening and assigned them tasks. At the same time, she promoted the people on the list given to her by Shang Xi as appropriate to assist these old ministers.
With the addition of those people, Li Yuan and others felt a lot more relaxed, and so did Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning thought about it and agreed.
Anyway, it’s only a half-day journey, which is much easier than marching, so I just treat it as a stroll.
Li Yuan took the order and left, and according to the address given by Xiao Ning, he came to the charity hall outside Beijing.
From a distance, you can hear laughter and joy.
The children's laughter mixed with the woman's scolding clearly reached Li Yuan's ears.
He dismounted and walked towards the charity hall.
A pretty woman in plain clothes was pulling a little boy's ear and scolding him, "If you pull Xiaoqi's braid again, I'll twist your ear off. Do you hear me?"
"Wuwuwu, it hurts! I don't dare to do it anymore, Sister Yuzhu, please let me go, wuwuwu..."
Li Yuan stood at the door and watched Yuzhu teach the child a lesson with interest.
Until Yuzhu looked up and met his eyes.
Ever since the princess sent a letter last year asking her to leave quickly, Yuzhu secretly left the Marquis' Mansion with Chunsheng and others and came here.
She was originally worried that the Marquis' Mansion would look for them, so she hid in fear for a few days, only to find out later that they had never looked for her at all.
That's right, the Marquis is not here, the princess has become a highness and has also disappeared. Once she and Cuiyun leave, the finances of the Marquis's Mansion will completely fall into the hands of the eldest wife. Shen must be so happy that she will never look for them.
The charity hall is remote, and the daily purchases are done by a few aunts, so they feel safe here.
In recent years, we have adopted many children.
Now the oldest is five or six years old, and is at the age of being naughty. Yuzhu and others know a few words, so when they have nothing to do, they teach the children to read and write, and their days are quite fulfilling.
In the blink of an eye, I have been here for more than half a year.
There is a feeling that time has passed in the mountains.
When Yuzhu saw Li Yuan for the first time, she was attracted by his handsome appearance, but she quickly reacted and her eyes became alert.
"Sir, you... have taken the wrong road?"
While speaking, his hands groped behind him, picked up a stick, held it in his hand, and put it behind his back.
Li Yuan saw all her little movements.
Li Yuan found it a little funny.
He deliberately concealed important information and frightened people by saying, "You're not in the wrong place. Someone asked me to come here to find a girl named Yuzhu. If you find her, bring her back."
