"It's hard to find out what's going on in the Forbidden Palace. The only thing we know for sure is that the sudden fire hasn't been completely extinguished yet." Shen Xin's implication was obvious. He could still find out where the fire had burned. Given Xiahou Qing's obsession with power, he couldn't have set fire to the Taiji Hall himself.
Liang Shuyi also said, "I heard that the fire was set by a group of thieves whose origins were unknown. Tell me, if you were a thief, would you just set the fire and do nothing else?"
Chen Xin shook his head slightly and said, "It's hard to say what the nature of this matter is, but it's indeed a bit suspicious. Xiahou Qing can't just let such a big thing go. But I see that there are no notices in the city yet. We know that without concrete documents to support these, these are just speculations and hearsay rumors."
Right now, apart from Qingliang Valley, the only other large rocks blocking Tianshu Tower are likely the Liangguo Mansion and the Wenhou Mansion. It's said that Xiahou Qing has secretly prepared a large number of living dead in Qinghe County. If everything is ready, then before the east wind arrives, if the large rocks blocking the road are cleared away, wouldn't the journey be incredibly smooth? "I'm worried that he's already considered the Liangguo Mansion a thorn in his side, and if he's not careful..."
Chen Xin held Liang Shuyi's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Liang Shuyi stopped and looked up at the blue sky. He couldn't help but sigh. If only his mood at the moment could be as clear as the sky. "Now, I just hope that Qingliang Valley can bring some good news."
Chen Xin said softly, "Yes, good news will come one after another. The Huangfu family has already sent people to Shi Zairong to seek a solution to the living dead. As long as we hold on for a while longer and defend the capital, everything will be over."
"I'm just afraid we're too weak to stand up to Tianshu Tower..." Liang Shuyi didn't know what was wrong with her today, but she couldn't help but keep saying these depressing words. Maybe it was because she was pregnant and her imagination was wandering, or maybe it was because she watched her father and her best brother commit suicide together to avoid the Hongmen Feast.
Chen Xin also noticed that Liang Shuyi was not normal. However, he was a doctor after all, and he was very familiar with the symptoms that women might experience during pregnancy. For someone like Liang Shuyi, as long as he could properly guide and listen to her, there would usually be no problem. "What's wrong with you today? Are you feeling unwell? Don't you usually like to think positively when talking about these things?"
Liang Shuyi hugged Chen Xin tightly, buried his head in his reassuring chest, and said: "...Alas, I don't know, I just feel so uncomfortable."
Chen Xin smiled. Very good. It seemed the patient knew what was wrong with her. She would then prescribe the right medicine. "Okay, I'll add some tranquilizing and invigorating medicine to the pregnancy-maintaining medicine. You must have been tired recently. Actually, there's something I've been wanting to discuss with you."
Liang Shuyi closed his eyes and listened to the rhythmic heartbeat of Shen Xin. His chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down: "Tell me, I want to listen."
After a moment of silence, Chen Xin let Liang Shuyi go from his chest, lowered his head and looked directly into her eyes, and said: "Actually, I didn't want to say it, but seeing you like this, I hesitated."
Liang Shuyi tilted his head slightly and said, "Go ahead and tell me. Let me hear it first."
Chen Xin let out a long breath, as if he had made some important decision. After making sure no one was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice and said solemnly, "...Let's not have this child. Actually, I'm already very satisfied with Shuang'er."
"You, what did you say?"
Chen Xin clearly felt Liang Shuyi's body shaking. Her eyes were full of disbelief, which almost made him hesitate: "Shuyi, listen to me carefully and don't let your imagination run wild. It's not that I don't like this child. I, I can't bear to see you wandering on the verge of death again while I can't do anything. I love the child, but I care about you more."
Liang Shuyi's eyes were slightly red. She thought Chen Xin was cheating on her. She was scared to death. Who did this person learn this from? Couldn't he explain it to her at the first sentence?
"...Thank you, so I've decided to reject your suggestion. I already have a blood connection with it, and now that I have it, I can't let it go easily. I don't know if we can win this battle, but regardless of whether we win or lose, I want this child, who is destined to be with me, to see what kind of world the parents who gave him his blood and flesh live in, what kind of scenery he sees, and what kind of family and friends he has by his side."
After Liang Shuyi's lecture, his reason for being sober seemed a little flimsy. "Forget it, forget it. I can't convince you, so I give up. If you want to keep him, I will naturally respect your opinion first. But once the pregnancy is stable, you must return to Qingliang Valley to be with your father and mother."
Liang Shuyi's brows, which had just relaxed, wrinkled again involuntarily. If this continued, she wouldn't know how many wrinkles would appear on her forehead before she got older. "But I want to be with you!"
"With so many burdens like you around, I can't help but be hesitant and cautious when doing things. If I don't pay attention and let Tianshu Tower take advantage of it, I'm afraid I will never forgive myself." Chen Xin compared Liang Shuyi's family to burdens without giving him any face, but Liang Shuyi didn't want to be a burden. She wanted to stay and help him instead of letting him face the unknown danger alone.
Liang Shuyi said, who said she would be a burden? After all, she was the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, not a useless woman. "Then let my parents go to Qingliang Valley, and I'll stay. Don't worry, I really have a feeling that this war won't last much longer."
Shen Xin patiently advised, "We all know that it's almost the last moment. Let me tell you something you like to hear. The future dangers of the capital are unknown. If you stay, what if, I mean what if. What if something happens to you? Shuang'er may lose not only her brothers and sisters, but also her parents. I know Yanzhou and Achen treat Shuang'er as their own daughter, but after all, we are her parents, aren't we?"
For a wife, her husband has absolute status; for a mother, her children and her husband are equally important.
