Chapter 314 Ending
Xiao Yuan didn't want her to suffer any more.
The midwife looked at each other and picked up a very long steel needle and a pair of scissors from the side.
He was planning to kill the child.
"No," Shen Anan's eyes showed a trace of fear, "You can't do this, Xiao Yuan."
She began to struggle, but Xiao Yuan held her tightly, "That's your child. You can't be so cruel to him. He's still alive."
The midwife took one last look at Xiao Yuan before the steel needle was about to rub the baby's head and pierce it.
"Your Majesty, Master Wen Yin has arrived." Qing'an's voice suddenly sounded like an angel, exploding in Shen Anan's briefly empty mind, and her wide eyes shrank slightly.
"Xiao Yuan, Wen Yin is here, Wen Yin is here, quickly tell them to stop."
If there was a glimmer of hope, Xiao Yuan would naturally not be willing to give up his and An An's child.
He put Shen Anan down gently and walked out.
"Amitabha, Lao Na is late." There were still beads of sweat on Wen Yin's forehead from rushing there.
At this time, Xiao Yuan had no time to argue with him, and just asked, "Do you have a way to give birth to the child?"
"Lao Na can give it a try." As soon as he said this, Xiao Yuan knew that Wen Yin must have calculated that An An would have a difficult delivery.
He narrowed his black eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across them.
"Don't cause any more damage to her body."
Wen Yin clasped his hands together, chanted "Amitabha" again, and walked in.
"Your Majesty." He suddenly stopped and turned around. "You are the emperor, and you are protected by dragon energy. If you are really worried about the queen, you can go to the ancestral temple to pray for the queen. Maybe you can protect the queen a little."
"Okay." Xiao Yuan immediately turned around and left. As long as he could help An An, everything else didn't matter. It was better than watching her suffer without being able to help at all.
After Xiao Yuan left, Wen Yin closed the palace door and breathed a sigh of relief.
He found that ever since he started dealing with this couple, he no longer felt guilty about lying.
"Amitabha, Lao Na's lies are all white lies."
He comforted himself, otherwise it would be even more distressing if Xiao Yuan was guarding outside and ready to take people's lives at any time.
In the end, Lin Yurou was also kicked out.
No one knew what happened in the house. All they knew was that the queen suddenly regained her strength, and the wailing in the palace continued until dawn.
In the ancestral hall, Xiao Yuan knelt until dawn.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Eunuch Liu rushed into the ancestral hall and said happily, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has given birth."
Xiao Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and turned to go to Fengyi Palace, but he had been kneeling for too long and his legs were sore and numb, but he still ran towards Shen Anan as fast as he could.
Wen Yin looked exhausted, as if she had turned ten years paler. She walked out of the palace holding the child in her arms, "Your Majesty, this is..."
He pushed the swaddling clothes forward, but saw the man walking without stopping for a moment, and rushed into the hall like a gust of wind.
"Eh." After coming to his senses, he sighed heavily and held the child back in his arms.
——
The birth of the dragon heir should have been a cause for celebration throughout Daliang, but the empress had been in a coma and the emperor stayed in Fengyi Palace day and night, so he had no time to take care of these things.
Shen Anan had a very long dream, in which she experienced her past and present life again.
The final moment was the night she gave birth, when she thought she was going to die from the pain.
A childish voice suddenly tugged at her nerves, "Mom, mom, wake up, Daddy doesn't want me, he wants to throw me away, please save me."
"child--"
Shen Anan sat up suddenly. The scene in front of her made her stunned for a few breaths, and then she frantically searched for something in the house.
"An An, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yuan felt his heart tighten when he saw her looking past him with a blank look in her eyes.
Could it be that she forgot herself again?
"Where's the child?" Shen Anan didn't find the little figure, so she turned back and stared at Xiao Yuan, "Where did you throw him?"
When Xiao Yuan heard that they were looking for a child, he felt relieved, but at the same time, a strong sense of sourness surged to his nose.
"I don't know either. I think Wen Yin should be watching."
He wasn't quite sure.
An An had been in a coma for seven days, and he had been guarding by his bedside, but he really didn't know where the child had gone or who was taking care of him.
Hearing this, Shen Anan finally breathed a sigh of relief, fell back onto the bed, and stared at the beams in a trance.
Xiao Yuan felt even more uncomfortable, "I was almost scared to death by you. You only thought about that bastard and didn't care about me at all."
Shen Anan rolled her eyes, looked at Xiao Yuan, and blinked a few times, "Is it a son?"
"...Yeah." Xiao Yuan responded sullenly and nodded.
Shen Anan looked at him, the joy in her eyes slowly turned into unfriendliness, "What do you mean, you don't like him?"
“…”
"Yeah." Xiao Yuan nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook his head after realizing what was happening. Facing Shen Anan's murderous gaze, he pursed his lips slightly and said against his conscience, "I like it. As long as you give birth to it, I like it."
Shen Anan glared at him fiercely. After being married for so long, how could she not tell that he was lying?
If she hadn't been so exhausted, she would have insisted on fighting him. "It doesn't matter. You like daughters. There are many daughters of officials in the previous dynasty who want to give birth to children for you. Go find them."
“…”
"I didn't," Xiao Yuan gently held her in his arms, "I just... I can't get over the pain he caused you."
Shen Anan was silent for a moment, raised her hand and stroked the back of his hand, "We are the ones who wanted him, what does it have to do with him? Have you forgotten how happy we were when we first knew he existed?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yuan's voice was very dull, "I will try my best to like him."
"Well," Shen Anan said again, "If you really like daughters, otherwise wait until my body recovers and we can have another one."
"No," Xiao Yuan said firmly, "This is the only one. I won't have any more children."
"But don't you like your daughter?"
"Your elder brother has one, so we can bring her to the palace."
"..." Shen Anan raised her head and glanced at him, "That's a nice thought, but that's why I'm reluctant to give it to you."
"..." Xiao Yuan touched his nose, "Then let's wait until later, let the brat's wife give birth to more children, and we can have granddaughters."
“…”
"Your Majesty." Mo Xiang walked into the hall carefully holding the cradle in her arms.
Shen Anan immediately smiled and said, "Hold it here for me to see."
Mo Xiang immediately held the little person in her arms. The newborn baby was not really good-looking, but Shen Anan just couldn't let go of him.
"Where is Wen Yin?" Xiao Yuan suddenly frowned and asked.
Mo Xiang's mouth twitched slightly, "Master Wen Yin said that in order to prevent Your Majesty from looking for him to settle accounts, he left first."
Xiao Yuan snorted coldly when he heard this.
Shen Anan took the time to look up at him and asked, "What's the score? He saved us mother and son, isn't that a credit?"
Xiao Yuan said with a sullen face, "He told me she was his daughter, but now she's a brat. I don't want to talk to him about it."
"Shut up." Shen Anan slapped him hard on the back of his hand, "Don't talk nonsense in front of the child in the future, he will be unhappy if he hears it."
Xiao Yuan glanced at the wrinkled child in Shen Anan's arms with great disdain.
He rubbed the back of his hand feeling very aggrieved.
Brat!
The little kid turned his head, his eyes seemed to be looking in Xiao Yuan's direction, and suddenly grinned.
Xiao Yuan called it a provocation! !
On the third day after the queen woke up, the eldest prince was given his own name, Xiao Qian'an. On the same day, he was made the crown prince.
——
In a small courtyard on Hua'an Street, Li Huaiyan stared at Zheng Yue'er, who was wearing a wedding dress, and gnashed his teeth in anger, "Tell me again, who are you going to marry?"
"I want to marry Brother Zhao." Zheng Yue'er blinked her eyes and said without showing any weakness.
ah--
Li Huaiyan let out an angry roar, "Zheng Yue'er, you are daydreaming. Master Zhao will never come to you in this lifetime."
"What do you mean?" Zheng Yue'er was shocked.
"I killed him."
"You're crazy." She stood up quickly, "He's an official appointed by the imperial court, you're throwing your life away."
After she finished speaking, Li Huaiyan's ugly expression eased a little.
"A woman who says one thing and means another." She clearly cared about him.
Zheng Yue'er also realized that she had been deceived by him and sat down again with a sullen face.
"The auspicious time is coming, you should leave quickly."
"Then you have to come with me." He bent down without saying anything, picked up Zheng Yue'er, and strode out.
"What are you doing? Let me go."
"I said, he can't come." Li Huaiyan carried her onto the carriage and told the coachman to return to the Duke's Mansion.
Zheng Yue'er glared at him angrily, but Li Huaiyan remained unmoved.
He had thought that he could take it slow and coax her into submission with his eloquence, but the woman was adamant and insisted on marrying the man named Zhao, so he had no choice but to use force.
Zheng Yueer, "I married you because of my tricks."
"Um."
"I blocked the knife for you, there was also an element of calculation in it."
"Um."
"and you……"
The rest of her words were blocked in her throat by Li Huaiyan.
After a long while, Li Huaiyan finally let her go, stared into her eyes and asked, "So when you said you liked me, was that also fake?"
“……”Zheng Yue’er was silent.
She didn't want to lie.
And this is the only thing Li Huaiyan cares about. "It's OK if it's not, the others don't matter."
…
Wait until the carriage is completely out of sight, in the alley behind the small house.
Lord Zhao said bitterly, "Prince Ling, can you let me go now?"
Ling Chenyi glanced at the end of the carriage and released his arm from holding Lord Zhao, "I'm sorry."
Lord Zhao did not say anything. He stood at the gate of the house, looking in the direction where the carriage left, and remained silent for a long time.
Li Huaiyan always thought that Zheng Yue'er was a bit scheming, but she was a very gentle girl. But everything changed after she became pregnant.
Li Huaiyan didn't dare to get too close to the girl when he was going to or from court or walking on the street, because Zheng Yue'er's nose was so sharp, even sharper than a dog's, and she could keenly detect the slightest fragrance.
Then, Li Huaiyan would suffer, not a cold war, not some tricky thing, but pure physical pain.
"Why are you so petty?"
Zheng Yueer stared at him with her big belly, "Then why did you embarrass Brother Zhao in the court?"
“…”
Li Huaiyan's temper flared up, "Damn it, he dared to come to you to complain!"
He rolled up his sleeves, ready to settle the score.
"Come back here and tell me clearly where the smell of perfume on your body comes from."
…
The servants in the Duke's Mansion were already accustomed to this chaotic scene.
Looking around the capital, probably only the Duke's Mansion is so lively.
It's another cold winter, the flowers have long withered, and the graves that were clustered with flowers in the summer are now bleak.
Ling Chenyi bent down and personally pulled out all the dead grass roots, and finally sat on the ground directly in front of the tombstone.
He didn't say anything, just sat quietly, staring at the tombstone.
From the rising of the sun to the sunset, he finally propped himself up and stood up, "Brother, it's time to go. I'll come to see you next time."
He gently stroked the tombstone, "Mother misses you so much, if you are still alive, please protect her and let her be safe and sound."
His back was walking in the wilderness as he left, lonely and desolate.
Far away at the border, there are two people who are missing the person in the tombstone at the same time.
They didn't speak, just drank in silence until they were drunk.
"Why don't you go back to Beijing?" Lin Ye asked.
Qi Jin lay flat on the mound, looking up at the high moon, "Then why don't you go back?"
"I don't want to." His parents are taken care of by his younger sister. They are all fine and he doesn't need to worry about them. He wants to stay at the border and miss that girl.
If I don't go back to Beijing, I won't have to face everything about her and I can deceive myself that she is still alive.
"You don't want to, and I don't deserve it."
