The flowing clouds are moving slowly, the sun is setting in the west, the afterglow gradually recedes, and the stars are dotted in the night. In the evening, the red afterglow filled the courtyard, and the two rows of dense and neat pine trees were coated with a layer of warm light.
"Madam! It's not good. An emergency report came from Beijing. The Lin family's grandmother is critically ill. She said..."
Zhihe hurriedly came in to report. He couldn't bear to watch her expression as he continued speaking.
Yun Zixiang's heart also tightened. He put down the cloth tiger in his hand and came over and asked urgently: "What did you say?"
Zhihe nodded: "I said I wouldn't go this month."
Yun Zixiang's body went limp and she was about to fall down. Zhihe, with quick eyes and quick hands, supported her and held back her tears: "Madam, be careful! Think about the child."
She held the chair and sat down
"How could it be like this? She was obviously fine when she left the capital. My grandmother has always been in good health. This illness is severe and urgent. I have to go back to the capital."
Think about it, then go out and bump into Chu Qian
As soon as she saw him, she couldn't stop crying and said tremblingly: "Grandma, she..."
"I know everything." Chu Qian hugged her and comforted her softly.
When he heard the news, he hurried back. He knew he couldn't hide it and knew she would be worried, so he stopped her.
Chu Qian helped her to the bed and said, "I know what you want to do, but due to the current situation, you cannot return to Beijing yet."
He also knew that it was inappropriate to say this at this time, but some things were unavoidable after all, and he had to be ruthless.
Yun Zixiang broke away from his arms and looked at him in disbelief: "She is my grandmother!"
She said word for word, and the tears in her eyes could not help but flow down.
Chu Qian wiped it off for her and said gently: "I know!"
Knowing that she wanted to know the reason, she explained: "Governor Shi is not allowed to return to Beijing privately without the emperor's order."
"You can't go back to Beijing, I'll go back!" She looked firmly and said
"You can't go back either! The journey is extremely dangerous. How can you make me feel at ease now that you are pregnant?" Chu Qian said coldly, no longer looking at her.
He was afraid that his soft-heartedness would put their mother and son in danger, and he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Yun Zixiang understood what he was referring to. The prince's party had colluded with the Su family this year and became increasingly powerful. The first person to deal with was Chu Qian. If he rashly returned to Beijing, he might become his weakness.
But she really couldn't just watch and ignore her, and in the end she couldn't see her grandmother for the last time.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Chu Qian thought she had agreed and comforted him: "You are tired today, so you should rest first."
Then he told Zhihe outside: "Watch Madam!"
After that, he left
Yun Zixiang knew that she couldn't sit still and wait for death. For the current plan, she had to return to Beijing secretly
Glancing at the three-month-old child in her belly, she sighed and said silently: "You are going to suffer, but you don't want to see your mother unhappy."
...
Chu Qian had long expected that she would have this idea, and even more guards were added to the yard. It can be said that not even a fly can fly out, let alone a pregnant woman.
She understood that the only way to get out was to force him with herself.
After thinking about it, she took out a short dagger from a box, put it against her neck, and opened the door.
When Zhihe saw this, his face was already filled with fright, and tears were streaming down his face. He said loudly: "Madam! Put it down quickly! Put it down quickly."
He reached out his hand to try to calm her down.
Yun Zixiang hurriedly avoided her and said, "I want to see you, sir!"
The dagger in his hand came closer, and he saw that there were light blood marks on his neck.
When someone saw this, they quickly went to invite the adults.
Zhihe was still advising from the side, kowtowing vigorously.
When Chu Qi'an heard about it, he ran over quickly. Seeing this scene, he was also frightened. He walked over and said softly: "Xiang'er! If you have something to say, say it well and don't hurt yourself."
Seeing him approaching, Yun Zixiang stepped back in a hurry and let him in. The person outside the door saw this and closed the door.
At this time, there were only two of them in the room.
"I want to go back to Beijing, just go back secretly." Yun Zixiang burst into tears, and the hand holding the dagger couldn't help but tremble.
"Okay, okay! Everything is up to you." Chu Qian couldn't care so much at this time, and his heart was about to break. He was so distressed that he stared at the blood marks on her neck, for fear that she would hurt him again.
"I have no other choice, please forgive me, please..."
Seeing him compromising, Yun Zixiang shook his head at him and sobbed.
Pregnancy was not in good health, and her emotions were easily agitated. At this time, she felt a little weak and breathless. Before she could finish speaking, she quickly collapsed.
He quickly caught her, took the dagger and threw it out the door. He picked her up and put her on the bed. He sent for the doctor.
Seeing her weak appearance at this time, her hair was a little messy. He arranged it for her, wiped the sweat on her forehead carefully, held her hand nervously, and prayed that nothing would happen to her.
The doctor came over quickly, bandaged the wound on his neck with medicine, and said, "It's nothing, just depression caused by emotional excitement."
After prescribing medicine to soothe the nerves and replenish qi and blood, he also said, "Pregnant women are most taboo about great joys and sorrows," and then withdrew.
In the darkness, Yun Zixiang felt fear sweeping through his body. He couldn't help but tremble. He opened his eyes suddenly and saw Chu Qian's worried eyes.
She looked at him helplessly
"What's the matter? Are you having a nightmare?" He touched her head and reassured her that he was there.
Yun Zixiang responded. She really didn't have much strength and couldn't even say anything.
Looking at him, he had been tired a lot these days, and his eyes were already filled with red bloodshot eyes. Yun Zixiang slowly put his hand on his face and whispered, "I've lost weight."
"Don't scare me anymore, you don't know that I just..."
Chu Qian held her hand that was holding her face.
"I won't do it anymore. Do I still keep my words?" She looked at him tenderly and asked
She knew he would agree
"Count!" Chu Qian said with a smile.
Yun Zixiang felt relieved and his expression became much more relaxed. He put his hand on his abdomen and said, "He has been torturing me a lot recently. Please touch him."
He felt the breath of life in his stomach, "You won't be a troublesome boy in the future!"
"Maybe she's a naughty girl."
"It doesn't matter if it's a girl, as long as it's yours or mine."
Chu Qian said softly, his face showing the look of a loving father.
Yun Zixiang knew that he hadn't slept much in a few days, so he motioned for him to come up, and the two of them fell asleep in the same bed...
Yun Zixiang held his hand, shrank towards him, and felt much more at ease. In the past six months in Jinzhou, she had subconsciously relied on him a lot, and she had already regarded him as her husband in her heart.
I don’t know when I started to cry a lot. Grandma said that it was because of pregnancy. Women during pregnancy are sensitive. He also took care of her emotions and relied on her in everything.
The courtyard is deep and the moon is shining brightly. The night flowers bloomed quietly, what he was whispering about, flowing slowly in the wind, being cut off by heavy cloud shadows, turning into a red patch on the ground, with lingering fragrance that lingers for a long time.
It seems to be saying: "Don't leave me, don't leave me!"
In the mansion at night, lights are lit everywhere, and the quiet gravel path is bright...
