Chapter 335: Extra 7 (Life outside the palace, peaceful years)
"Husband~"
In the crowd, when Xiao Heng heard the word "husband", he paused and could no longer bear to leave her. He stood there waiting for her to come forward.
He was really angry and heartbroken.
I was angry that she acted on her own, angry that she was pregnant, and even more angry that she disregarded her own safety.
He still vividly remembers the hardships he experienced when Yue was born, and he is still frightened.
He was really afraid of putting her in danger again.
Xiao Heng now can't live without Liu Yuetang!
He can't live without her, can't lose her.
A "thump" sound came from behind, it was the sound of someone falling.
Xiao Heng's pupils suddenly constricted, he even forgot to breathe, and turned around to look.
The person who fell to the ground was surrounded by several people. They had their backs to him, just covering the woman on the ground.
"Madam..." Xiao Heng's heart sank, and as he spoke, he rushed over like an arrow.
When he pushed through the crowd, he realized that the woman who fell was not Liu Yuetang.
His tense back relaxed instantly, and then he looked up with uneasiness.
I saw Liu Yuetang standing not far away, her eyes red and looking at me with tears in her eyes.
At this moment, all the anger in Xiao Heng's heart turned into heartache.
He walked quickly forward and gently embraced Liu Yuetang in his arms.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have left you alone."
He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if it was really Liu Yuetang who fell down.
He would hate himself to death.
She was pregnant, and even if he was angry, he should not have left her alone in the carriage and let her look for him on the street.
"No...husband." Liu Yuetang hugged him tightly with both hands.
"It's my fault. A child is a matter for both of us. I shouldn't have changed the contraceptive pills without telling you, and I shouldn't have gotten pregnant without consulting you."
"It was my fault."
Xiao Heng sighed silently, "I just don't understand why you want to have another child so much."
"In the past, we clearly agreed to have only Yue'er as our child and give her all our love. But now, even though you know I don't want children, you still changed my contraceptive pills."
Liu Yuetang raised her head and looked at him deeply, her tone filled with a hint of melancholy and honesty, "In the past, it was because I was selfish."
"It's not easy to raise a child safely in the deep palace. That's why I want to devote myself to raising one child. Because you have so many children around you, the words I say will make you cherish our only child even more."
"But then... you gave up everything, including your child, just to leave the palace to be with me."
"In fact, I have always felt very guilty."
Liu Yuetang's voice was choking with sobs as she spoke, "I've always known you loved children. Even when you saw a cute kid on the street, you couldn't help but take a few more glances. Don't you want to have another child? You're just afraid I'll go through the pain of childbirth again, and even more afraid I'll end up in the delivery room like last time."
She sniffed, tears finally rolling down, hitting her clothes and leaving small wet marks. "That's why you'd rather not have a child than let me take that risk again."
Every word she said was burned into Xiao Heng's heart, making his chest feel sore and swollen.
He didn't expect that she would feel so guilty after he gave up the throne to be with her.
He also didn't expect that she could see through his unspoken thoughts so clearly.
Indeed, he likes children very much.
Especially when Yue'er is not around, he would think how nice it would be if he had a child by his side, how nice it would be if he had both a son and a daughter.
But as soon as this thought arose, it was extinguished by a deeper fear.
He was afraid that the arrival of this child would put her in danger again.
So, he takes contraceptive pills on time every month.
Seeing Xiao Heng's moved expression, Liu Yuetang pleaded with him softly, "Husband, I have taken good care of myself these past few years, and my pulse is much stronger than before. The doctor said that the delivery will be smooth."
"Just promise me to keep this child, okay?"
Seeing that Xiao Heng was still hesitant, she swore quickly, "I promise you, if anything unexpected happens, I will do my best to protect myself."
Hearing her say this, Xiao Heng finally relaxed and pulled down Liu Yuetang's raised hand, saying with a bit of helplessness, "Well, the child has already found a home in my belly. If I don't keep it, do I have to force it back in?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuetang smiled brightly, tears sparkling with joy in the corners of her eyes, "Then my husband has agreed to let me give birth to him."
Seeing her overjoyed expression, Xiao Heng couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. However, when he thought about her having to go through the pain of childbirth again, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He held her hand tightly and said, "I agree."
"But you must remember what you just said. You must take care of yourself first."
"Okay!" Liu Yuetang nodded heavily.
Then she took his hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen.
This action, which had not been seen in eight years, also made Xiao Heng's breathing pause.
Although it was still flat there, there was no movement at all.
