Chapter 2221: Can’t Catch, Can’t Save
My own tears also kept rolling down.
She said softly, "From now on, be a good boy."
"Mother..."
Zhu Chengxuan held her hand tightly against his face, tears rolling down his face, and soon, both of their hands were wet.
Xu Miaoyin said, "My mother's biggest regret is that she didn't get to see the day you got married."
“…”
"But it doesn't matter. If you know what you want, go for it."
“…”
"Even if I can't get it, I will remember what you said."
“…”
“Be yourself, that’s the most important thing.”
Zhu Chengxuan burst into tears and spoke intermittently, "I know, I will listen to you, mother, but please don't leave me. I will be fine and do everything well for you. Please don't leave, mother, please."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin looked at him, and the smile on her face deepened.
And in this deep smile, there is a hint of tiredness.
It seemed that she could hardly open her eyes.
I don't have the strength to open it.
But she still insisted, and said softly in a weak voice: "From now on, you must not only listen to your father, but also listen to the words of the Royal Concubine."
“…”
"The Queen Mother is gone, but she is still here."
“…”
"If you protect her well, she will protect you."
Zhu Chengxuan cried and said, "I know, I know."
At this moment, a person came in and announced, "The Imperial Concubine has arrived."
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyin moved slightly.
She looked up and saw a familiar figure walking in from outside.
It’s Nanyan.
Her complexion didn't look good either, the paleness from blood loss hadn't completely faded, and her steps were staggering when she walked in. Fortunately, Nian Qiu beside her held her tightly, allowing her to walk in smoothly.
All the other concubines in the room knelt down.
"Greetings, Madam Noble Consort."
At this time, Nan Yan didn't care about them. She staggered two steps and hurried over.
Zhu Chengxuan also stood up and came over to support her, crying, "My Lady Concubine, my mother, my mother—"
Nan Yan's eyes became hot.
After the Wu rebellion, the King of Wei had grown up a lot, but at this moment, he was still crying like a child. Although he had the tall figure of an adult, he was now as helpless as a child.
She held his hand.
Then he looked at Zhu Feng who was standing beside the bed.
After just a quick bow to him, she heard the queen on the bed whisper, "Nan Yan..."
"Empress!"
Nan Yan hurried over and knelt beside the bed.
"I'm here to see the queen."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her with a smile. Although her eyes were a little blurry at this time, and she seemed unable to see people clearly, she still smiled at her.
Said: "It would be good if you could come and see me off."
"Your Majesty..."
"I heard you gave birth to a prince."
"yes."
"What's your name?"
"His name is Cheng Jun?"
"Cheng...Jun..."
Xu Miaoyin pondered it silently for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's a good name."
Nan Yan said softly, "He will be a good brother."
Xu Miaoyin smiled.
She looked at Nan Yan quietly for a long time before she softly said, "I know that this matter has wronged you and him even more."
“…”
Nan Yan just smiled faintly.
He whispered, "It will be hard for the King of Wei in the future."
Hearing her say this, Xu Miaoyin felt both sad and warm in her heart. Although she had no strength left, she still stretched out her hand to her, and Nan Yan hurriedly held her hand.
Xu Miaoyin said: "Nan Yan..."
“…”
"I feel so ashamed of you."
Hearing this, Nan Yan felt as if something was tugging at her heart, causing her pain and aches. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "Don't say that, Queen."
In fact, according to etiquette, the position of crown prince should belong to the King of Wei.
However, Zhu Feng's willfulness and partiality towards her meant that the matter had never been concluded, and it also caused many people to have thoughts that they shouldn't have, causing great confusion and chaos among the people.
She withdrew because she didn't want to think about things she shouldn't want.
Just as she warned Xue Yun.
As for this child, if he wanted to fight for it, that was his business. Giving birth to him, becoming his mother and son, was fate. He was born in the imperial city, enjoying such splendor and wealth since childhood. What I had given him was more than enough.
As for how he wants to live his life, it is up to him to fight and strive for it.
As for me, apart from guiding him to be a kind and upright person, I will not have any other thoughts or actions.
She said softly, "Don't say that, my lady."
“…”
"I--"
Sensing the difference in her tone, Xu Miaoyin said softly to her, "Do you have anything you want to say to me?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I also want to apologize to the Queen."
“…”
"That Guanyin statue, I accidentally broke it just now."
"Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth..."
Xu Miaoyin thought about it and seemed to remember this matter.
She smiled faintly: "If it's broken, it's broken. What's the pity?"
“…”
"You already have a son and a daughter, why do you still care about that?"
"I, I feel ashamed of my Majesty."
"Why are you being nagging too?"
Xu Miaoyin smiled faintly and said, "That thing was originally a gift from my family. Unfortunately, I am not so lucky..."
At this point, she also realized something. After all, the King of Wei was still beside her, so she stopped talking and just smiled and said, "When you were pregnant at that time, I gave it to you."
“…”
At this time, Nan Yan's breathing was choked.
Family, gift?
The fertility-giving Guanyin that the queen’s family gave her contained musk!
What is going on?
Feeling her breath hitch and her eyes flicker, Xu Miaoyin whispered, "What's wrong?"
“…”
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment and looked at her again.
She felt as if something was stabbing her heart, causing her indescribable pain. She could only grit her teeth and whisper, "No, nothing."
“…”
At this time, Xu Miaoyin could hardly see the person in front of her.
All the people and scenery were in a trance.
She only had the last bit of strength left and smiled gently at Nan Yan.
Said: "Sometimes, nothing can be seen through, but when it really comes to this point, I find that nothing is impossible to see through."
“…”
"Nan Yan..."
"My Lady."
He felt that the hand she was holding had completely lost its strength and was sliding down softly.
Nan Yan tried to grab it with all her strength, but she also had a feeling that she couldn't hold it and couldn't get it back.
Xu Miaoyin said softly, "After I close my eyes, even if a flood rages, it will have nothing to do with me. The one who will suffer the most is you."
“…”
“Sometimes, not caring is painful; caring is also painful.”
“…”
"Listen to what I have to say."
“…”
"Don't be too aggressive, temper."
