Chapter 111: A large cage made of pure gold
When everything was over, Meng Mingshu leaned in Xiao Yan's arms and breathed out. Her breathing was so soft that she looked quite pitiful.
Xiao Yan touched her beautiful eyebrows with his big hands, and rubbed Meng Mingshu's moist lips with his fingertips:
"Stop crying, your eyes are going to get swollen."
Xiao Yan said helplessly: "Where do all these tears come from?"
Crying on the bed, crying under the bed.
Meng Mingshu turned her head away, sobbing slightly: "Don't worry about me."
"It's okay if I cry myself to death."
"I'm pregnant with your child, and you still bully me like this."
The more Meng Mingshu spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. She had been worried about the baby in her belly, and she was nervous and scared.
But Xiao Yan was the worse. The more careful she was, the more aggressive he became.
As if the child was not his.
Meng Mingshu was so angry that she was sobbing and crying.
Xiao Yan realized that the person was really angry, so he quickly put his arms around her shoulders and turned her head over.
"I was wrong, don't be angry."
Xiao Yan felt a little guilty.
He really didn't feel sorry for the baby in Meng Mingshu's belly. After all, it wasn't his.
If Xiao Yan hadn't been worried about Meng Mingshu's health, he wouldn't have asked him to give birth to this child.
Moreover, the way Meng Mingshu held her belly was so touching that even a saint would find it difficult for Xiao Yan to restrain himself.
She didn't know how seductive she looked when she was pregnant.
Xiao Yan patiently coaxed Meng Mingshu:
"Next time I will be gentle and do whatever you say."
Meng Mingshu felt a little better, but still felt aggrieved.
"You haven't been back recently. I haven't seen you all day."
"I finally came back and wanted to talk to you, but you just wanted to bully me."
Xiao Yan quickly hugged Meng Mingshu tightly in his arms, patting her back gently with his big hands to comfort her:
"I didn't mean to not come back to see you."
"The court has been busy with many affairs recently, and has been busy with the coronation ceremony."
"It's not just me who's busy. Except for the East Palace, everyone in the entire palace is busy."
Only the servants in the Eastern Palace had the easiest job. Their only task was to serve and take care of Meng Mingshu and her daughter.
Meng Mingshu also calmed down.
The old emperor had just abdicated and Xiao Yan had just taken the position, so there were indeed a lot of things to happen.
She lived in the East Palace, with no one to disturb her. The ups and downs outside had nothing to do with her and could not reach her ears.
I think Xiao Yan had specifically instructed this.
Meng Mingshu looked at the dark circles under Xiao Yan's eyes and sniffed: "You can't be too tired."
Xiao Yan held her face in his hands and kissed the tip of her nose. "Just wait another month or two, and I'll have time to accompany you."
"It's going to take that long?"
Xiao Yan nodded.
"good."
Meng Mingshu was not interested in the affairs of the court.
Xiao Yan put his big hand on her abdomen: "Do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach?"
Meng Mingshu shook her head, although she really wanted to pretend to be uncomfortable so that Xiao Yan would know to restrain himself in the future.
But she really didn't, and Xiao Yan could also take pulses.
"fine."
Meng Mingshu suddenly thought of the empress dowager and the old emperor.
Before Xiao Yan was not the emperor, they were powerless in many things. They had no power and were inferior to others.
But now that Xiao Yan has become the emperor, it is natural for these grudges to be avenged.
"How is the Queen Mother?"
"And His Majesty?"
Xiao Yan held Meng Mingshu's hand and asked, "You don't like them either?"
Meng Mingshu nodded: "Of course."
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes, held Meng Mingshu's hand, and said in a light tone: "The Queen Mother has been sent to Mount Wutai. Once the old emperor dies, I will send her on her way."
"It's normal to die of excessive grief."
"As for the old man, he is now living in his former residence. The imperial physician has visited him. It's just the past few days."
Xiao Yan continued slowly, "Whether it's my coronation ceremony or the old man's death, you don't have to worry about these things, and you don't have to show up."
Any of them would have to kneel as soon as Meng Mingshu appeared outside the Eastern Palace.
Meng Mingshu was pregnant and was most afraid of overwork.
"You just need to stay in the East Palace and take care of yourself."
Xiao Yan paused for a moment and added, "Take good care of the children as well."
Although Meng Mingshu was surprised to hear that the old emperor was about to die, she also felt it was reasonable.
After all, His Majesty's health was not very good before.
After passing the throne to Xiao Yan, the emperor lost his last breath.
"Okay." Meng Mingshu hugged Xiao Yan's strong waist and abdomen and buried herself in his arms: "Take care of yourself too."
Xiao Yan deliberately teased Meng Mingshu: "How about Ah Shu go to Xuanzheng Hall to take care of me?"
Meng Mingshu shook her head: "No."
She is not a caring person.
It was almost impossible for her to go to Xuan Zheng Hall to take care of Xiao Yan personally.
It would be better if you don't cause more trouble.
Moreover, Meng Mingshu was also afraid that if she showed up in front of Xiao Yan, he would bully her from time to time.
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
Xiao Yan lowered his head and kissed the top of Meng Mingshu's head:
"Rest well. Tell Liu Zhongquan to handle anything."
"good."
Meng Mingshu touched her belly, fell on the bed, and squinted her eyes with happiness.
Now that the two huge mountains of the Empress Dowager and the old Emperor are gone, I dare not imagine how comfortable her life will be in the future.
It doesn't matter whether the child is a boy or a girl.
Before Xiao Yan ascended the throne, Meng Mingshu was always worried about whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl.
She was afraid that if she gave birth to a daughter, the two above her would be disappointed and disgusted with her, and would continue to suppress her family.
Meng Mingshu would also be worried if she gave birth to a son.
She already owed Tuan'er, and if she let Tuan'er suffer any injustice, it would be no less hurtful than hurting Meng Mingshu's heart.
It's okay now.
It doesn't matter what kind of baby you have.
She won't mind, it would be better if it was a daughter.
Neither would Xiao Yan.
…
The past month has been very difficult for many people in Beijing.
After all, the previous emperor passed away, and then the empress dowager passed away...
Officials of all ranks are busy all day long...
But all this has nothing to do with Meng Mingshu in the East Palace.
Perhaps because she was too relaxed and happy, Meng Mingshu looked much better recently.
It's just that she is more than six months pregnant, almost seven months.
Her belly has become noticeably bigger, making it difficult for her to move. Meng Mingshu now feels back pain after walking for a while, and has to hold onto her waist to walk.
"Mom, I miss you. When will you come to see me?"
Meng Mingshu also missed Xiao Yan. In the past month, she had only seen Xiao Yan a few times.
Xiao Yan said that the reason he was so busy was that he wanted to take care of all the things and then be with her at ease.
"It's almost there, just wait a few more days."
Meng Mingshu tried to comfort him: "Mom, can you hold me and sleep in your arms tonight?"
Tuan'er shook her head and looked at Meng Mingshu's bulging belly with concern:
"Tuan'er is afraid. If Tuan'er is naughty in his dreams and kicks his brothers and sisters, Mom will definitely get hurt."
"Tuan'er is scared."
Meng Mingshu held her waist and lowered her head to touch Tuan'er's little head: "Okay."
"Our group is a big kid now."
Tuan'er is not around, and Xiao Yan has not returned for several days. The baby in her belly has been a little fussy recently, and her lumbar spine is feeling sore and swollen.
Meng Mingshu couldn't sleep, so she held her waist and slowly and clumsily got up, preparing to go out for some fresh air.
But his hand accidentally touched an ornament beside the bed, and then a door appeared in the East Palace bedroom.
Meng Mingshu was curious and walked over holding her belly.
Just as I was about to open the door to take a look, Xiao Yan came back.
"Husband..."
Meng Mingshu's eyes lit up instantly and she threw herself into Xiao Yan's arms.
"Why are you back?"
Xiao Yan held her in his arms and measured her belly:
"You're almost seven months pregnant. I need to see you in person to feel at ease."
Meng Mingshu was surprised: "Are you done with your work?"
Xiao Yan nodded: "Almost."
Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the door, and he asked dangerously, "If I hadn't come back, would you have wanted to go down alone just now?"
Meng Mingshu felt guilty: "I just wanted to go and take a look."
Xiao Yan picked up Meng Mingshu and hugged her sideways. Meng Mingshu subconsciously hugged Xiao Yan's neck:
"Let's go down and take a look. I also want to know what's down there."
After seeing clearly what was inside, Meng Mingshu suddenly looked up at Xiao Yan.
There is a night pearl in the secret room, so it is easy to see the structure inside.
The entire secret room is covered with precious wool carpets.
The most eye-catching thing is the big cage, which is made of pure gold and has chains inside.
There are also many strange things outside the cage.
Meng Mingshu blushed at the first sight and didn't dare to look closely. She knew it was not serious at first glance.
Xiao Yan was confused: "Why are you looking at me, husband?"
Meng Mingshu didn't say anything, just stared at him.
"It wasn't my husband who did it."
Although this secret room was exactly what he wanted and was exactly the same as the dark room in his mind, Xiao Yan really had no impression of it.
Meng Mingshu shook her head and said with certainty: "It's you."
This was done by Xiao Yan before he lost his memory.
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and said in a dangerous tone, "Ashu has wronged me, but will she pay the price?"
"It's you! I know there's no one else but you."
