Chapter 145 The baby is about to be born
When he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at Queen Mother Jiang.
"You'd better keep Ah You under control for the next few months, otherwise, I will take Shen Yuanwei back to Taiji Palace."
"You know what you did. You caused her to have a miscarriage and bleeding. As a result, she can only lie down and rest and cannot walk. If she returns to Taiji Palace, she will not be able to come to you again. By then, whether Ah You gets sick or hits his head against the wall, I will not let Shen Yuanwei risk having a miscarriage to see him—"
"Don't blame my son for being ruthless. Ah You now has a mother who plans for him, but I don't. I only have those two children. I will fight anyone who touches those two children to death!"
“…”
Queen Mother Jiang stared at Xie Junlin as he left angrily.
She covered her heart, staggered back a few steps, and fell on the small couch.
This evil creature!
What do you mean Ayou has a mother but he doesn’t?
Was he less loved in the past?
As a mother, she favors Ayou just this once, and he just won't accept it?
Queen Mother Jiang closed her eyes and tears fell like beads from a broken string.
Why couldn’t the eldest son understand her?
Her eldest son had the throne, wives, concubines and children, but her youngest son had nothing. As a mother, of course she wanted both children to live a good life. Did she do anything wrong?
Queen Mother Jiang wept bitterly at her desk. After crying for a long time, she raised her head in a daze.
She had to go see Ayou.
Does Ayou really like Shen Yuanwei?
Queen Mother Jiang asked the nanny to apply ice to her eyes. After adjusting her mood, she asked the nanny to support her and walked to the backyard.
She went to Ayou's room first.
Empty.
She came to Shen Yuanwei's room again, and sure enough, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Ayou sitting on the small couch, listening obediently to Shen Yuanwei reciting poetry.
"What does the elk eat in the yard... What does the dragon do in the water..."
"In the morning I galloped my horse to the river bank... In the evening I crossed the Xixie River..."
When she saw Shen Yuanwei finished reading, she smiled and asked Ah You, "Do you know what these two sentences mean?"
Ayou stared at Shen Yuanwei motionlessly without any reaction.
Shen Yuanwei didn't mind the silence and started explaining the meaning of the two lines of poetry.
It was not known whether Ayou understood or not. Anyway, he just sat on the small couch and watched and listened obediently, without any of his usual anxiety.
Queen Mother Jiang stood at the door and watched quietly for a moment, her eyes becoming dazed.
She seemed to have seen the scene after Ah You and Shen Yuanwei got married...
Shen Yuanwei was pregnant with Ayou's child. Ayou stayed with his wife and son obediently, and the family lived a happy and peaceful life together.
Queen Mother Jiang's eyes were slightly moist.
It would be great if this were true.
What she hoped most was that Ayou would have someone to accompany him gently in the future. If someone could help her take care of her sick little son, she would really die with peace of mind.
Queen Mother Jiang did not disturb Ayou and Shen Yuanwei. She left quietly and sat in the yard.
Now Shen Yuanwei really can't stand any stimulation or disturbance. She can't say anything, but she can wait.
After Shen Yuanwei gave birth to the child, she would let Shen Yuanwei fake her death!
She had to think of a good way to hide it from Xiao Lingzhao and send Ah You and Shen Yuanwei to a remote town to live a peaceful life...
Queen Mother Jiang's eyes turned fierce.
No one could destroy her little son's happiness.
So what if Xiao Lingzhao is the general? The Yong Dynasty can lose this general, but her youngest son cannot lose Shen Yuanwei, his only sweetheart.
…
After dark, Xie Junlin, who had finished his state affairs, came to see Shen Yuanwei again.
Prince Rui was still sitting in Shen Yuanwei's room.
But at this moment he was not sitting on the couch. He was sitting at the table, eating his midnight snack obediently. After every bite, he would glance at Shen Yuanwei, as if he was eating with Shen Yuanwei.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, King Rui slowly turned his head.
When he found that his brother was trying to snatch his sister from him again, he pouted slightly and looked very unhappy.
He told his brother not to come again, but his brother came anyway.
My sister said that as long as he was willing to express his feelings to others, everyone would listen to him, but it was no use, my brother didn't listen at all.
Xie Junlin noticed his brother's gaze.
He saw his brother's unhappy look clearly, but did not try to comfort him as usual.
Now he has mixed feelings towards his younger brother.
He felt pity for his brother's illness, but was also upset that he was attracted to his woman.
He ignored his brother and came over to the couch.
He asked Shen Yuanwei, "Why don't you have a midnight snack?"
Shen Yuanwei said, "I've finished eating. Ah You eats slowly and can't finish a mouthful of rice in half a day."
Xie Junlin whispered, "It's getting late. Let him go back to his room. Even if you have Dr. Song in your room, he can't stay here forever as a young man."
Shen Yuanwei hummed, "Let him go after he finishes eating. Patients like him don't like others to disrupt his plans. If we disrupt his steps, he will be very anxious."
Xie Junlin sighed.
So Ayou likes to stick to Shen Yuanwei, because Shen Yuanwei understands that boy.
Xie Junlin rubbed his brows and tried to remind him calmly, "Don't be too indulgent to him. He wants to stay with you, so you let him stay here all day. How can this be allowed? It's not good for a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law to stay in the same room for a long time. If someone sees them, it's not good."
Shen Yuanwei looked at Xie Junlin in surprise, "Your Majesty, you and the Queen Mother let me live here, isn't it to let me help you take care of the children and coax them?"
Xie Junlin wanted to tell Shen Yuanwei, but that was not an ignorant child. That guy already understood what love and possessiveness meant. That guy already liked you.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Shen Yuanwei cannot have too many emotional ups and downs now, and cannot be anxious or entangled.
He said, "Ayou is a grown-up boy after all, not a child of six or seven. His mental development is slow, but his body has not stagnated. You have to stay away from him, lest he falls in love with you in the future. Then there will be trouble between you and Xiao Lingzhao..."
Shen Yuanwei looked at King Rui thoughtfully.
She nodded, "Okay, then I'll try to coax him to play in the yard alone next time."
Xie Junlin breathed a sigh of relief.
Alas, I hope that Shen Yuanwei’s estrangement can make the little ripples in Ayou’s heart slowly calm down. Ayou can like anyone but he cannot like his brother’s woman.
This is a feeling that is not tolerated in the world.
…
For some time thereafter, Queen Mother Jiang lived a peaceful life.
Every time Xie Junlin came to see Shen Yuanwei, she would quickly go in and take Prince Rui away, for fear of angering Xie Junlin.
Shen Yuanwei is also trying her best to distance herself from Prince Rui.
Although she wanted to soften her heart every time she saw King Rui standing outside the window looking at her pitifully, she didn't want to delay this young boy, so she forced herself to be cold-hearted.
Fortunately, Prince Rui did not force it. As long as he could see her every day, he would not make a fuss.
In the blink of an eye, four months passed uneventfully.
Shen Yuanwei is about to give birth.
