Xiao Langyan has been sitting in the chair next to Shen Dingzhu's bed. There is no light in the room. He wears ring fingers on his slender fingers and slightly raises his high eyebrows.
Just like this, he looked at her motionless, with complicated and nostalgic eyes, and I'm afraid even he didn't know it.
When she is there, she feels at ease.
This is why, although he was disappointed and resentful towards Shen Dingzhu in his heart, he still couldn't let her go. Knowing her specific whereabouts, he rushed over immediately.
He was afraid that she had asked someone else to write that letter, just to give him a step down.
But when he rushed over without hesitation and found that she was actually with Xu Huaisong, his anger almost destroyed all his sanity.
But even when his anger reached its peak, he found that he still wanted her to stay.
No matter whether it was in a way she didn't want to, or forced, he would keep her by his side, even if they tortured each other.
Just as Xiao Langyan was immersed in his own complicated thoughts, the beauty who was sleeping soundly on the bed suddenly frowned and murmured uneasily: "No, no..."
Xiao Langyan immediately stepped forward.
The moon was as cold as water, shining on her white cheeks, revealing a layer of fine sweat on her forehead. Her originally delicate and pretty face showed a look of pain due to the nightmare.
The more she struggled, the harder it became, but it seemed as if she couldn't wake up, but the tears were like broken beads, rolling down the corners of her eyes.
"Shen Dingzhu, wake up." Xiao Langyan realized that she was in a nightmare, frowned and gently shook her arm.
However, Shen Dingzhu not only did not wake up, but also cried even more helplessly as if she heard his voice.
"Xiao Langyan, please don't die, I am willing to do anything... willing..."
Xiao Langyan was startled, and immediately held her hand that was clinging to her with his big palm: "I am here, I am not dead, you open your eyes and take a look, Shen Dingzhu!"
She seemed to be comforted, her murmuring voice gradually fell down, tears stained her face, and she fell asleep again.
However, Xiao Langyan keenly caught a hidden secret.
What does she want to say?
What is she hiding?
Suddenly, he recalled that they had met in the palace before she decided to leave the capital.
Shen Dingzhu was blindfolded at that time, but she was still crying like she is now.
Before leaving, she asked him to remember that she loved him.
Xiao Langyan's expression suddenly darkened.
After a moment, he stood up, called Chen Heng outside, and whispered to him to do a few things.
Chen Heng left overnight.
Shen Dingzhu had an uneasy sleep in the first half of the night. She knew she had another nightmare, but this time it didn't last long, and she didn't wake up crying.
In the second half of the night, she was in a daze and felt someone pinching her legs and feet.
Shen Dingzhu opened her eyes in confusion. The room was filled with clear moonlight, and the familiar tall figure was sitting at the end of her bed.
He lowered his stern eyebrows, his thin eyes were focused, and his warm palms kneaded her calves that were slightly swollen due to pregnancy.
Xiao Langyan seemed to have never changed.
She remembered that when she was pregnant with Xiao Xingche, he was like this when she was one month old. He would get up in the middle of the night to help her rub the meridians on her legs, fearing that she would cramp and even more so that she would not sleep well.
Shen Dingzhu closed his eyes, and a drop of hot tears rolled down the corner of his eyes and fell into the pillow towel.
She leaned slightly sideways, her palms unconsciously resting on her bulging abdomen. Suddenly, she felt Xiao Langyan kiss her legs, then gently take her hands away, and caress her slowly with his big palm. her belly.
No matter how distant and cold he was during the day.
Now, he doesn't need to pretend not to care, all his actions are filled with deep doting.
No matter how they quarreled, in his eyes, the woman he loved the most gave birth to his flesh and blood.
Shen Dingzhu lay calmly and let him touch her.
After a while, Xiao Langyan covered her with the quilt again and walked away calmly.
Shen Dingzhu's heart was trembling as sleepiness set in.
She thought that she should tell Xiao Langyan the truth. His illness was cured. If he could know the truth, wouldn't he be so sad?
I do not know how long it has been.
In the woodshed, Mr. Shi, who was sleeping hungry, was suddenly awakened by the sound of unlocking the door.
He opened his sleepy eyes in confusion and looked at the sky outside, which already showed a faint crab shell blue color. The dawn was hidden in the clouds, but it was beginning to show its signs.
The smell of rice wafted in with the wind as the door opened.
Mr. Shi sat up and said, "Are you ready to eat?"
Two secret guards walked in and put down the food with cold faces. They each had four dishes and one soup, which was extremely sumptuous.
Xu Huaisong didn't care about the food. He just asked: "Queen...how is the Queen?"
The secret guard replied coldly: "The Queen is fine, there is no need for you to worry. The Emperor has an order. Although you are suspected of covering the Queen's escape, you have also contributed to taking care of the dragon fetus, so the merits and demerits are balanced. After daybreak, you can leave separately. "
After saying that, the secret guard turned and left.
Mr. Shi sighed and breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, I don't have to be locked up anymore... No, this is my home, where does the emperor want me to go?"
Xu Huaisong stood up and stared outside the door. Golden light beams had emerged from the clouds, and sparrows were jumping back and forth in the yard.
His eyes were complicated, thinking, maybe they have reconciled?
Otherwise, Xiao Langyan would not be so merciful suddenly.
It was time for him to leave.
*
When Shen Dingzhu woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
She was eating the breakfast prepared by A Liang when Mr. Shi came in and said that Xu Huaisong had left.
Shen Dingzhu was quite surprised: "Left? So suddenly?"
Didn't Xiao Langyan refuse to let him go?
Mr. Shi hesitated to speak, and finally pulled out a letter from his sleeve.
"Xu Dadong left it to you."
The letter was not sealed because Xu Huaisong knew that Xiao Langyan would definitely check it.
Xiao Langyan had no intention of letting them see each other again, so when the sky lit up, Xu Huaisong had already left.
Shen Dingzhu unfolded the letter and read it carefully——
[Si Bao, Zhan Xinjia, please allow me to call you like this, because I am more familiar with you. When you read this letter, I was already sitting on the ship sailing back to Beiliang. 】
[Please don’t worry, the emperor is not unduly embarrassed. In this letter, I want to apologize to you for writing anonymously to inform the emperor of your whereabouts. 】
[I can't bear to see you giving birth to a child alone, suffering and being tired. This is the last thing I want to happen to you. No matter what misunderstandings you have, I hope you can understand that the emperor will chase you here, which is enough to prove that he I have forgiven you from the bottom of my heart. 】
[These words may seem presumptuous to me as an outsider, but I sincerely wish you well. I have placed the keys and land deeds of those shops under the second haystack in the woodshed. If you are willing to go back and be the queen, you will Leave these to Mr. Shi. If you don't want to, these are enough confidence for you to live alone. 】
【Be well and don’t worry. 】
The only signature is "Huai Song".
Through these clear handwriting, Shen Dingzhu's eyes became slightly moist as he thought of his narrow eyes and serious expression, full of instructions.
Mr. Shi sat opposite her, hesitating a little, but finally said: "Azhu, don't blame Abo for my talkativeness. Although the emperor's treatment of you is a bit forceful, his heart cannot be deceived. You are a smart child. , don’t choose the wrong path again, you will regret it.”
"Abo is someone who has been through this. You know, there are only a few times in a person's life that you can regret your squandering. Cherish it."
He said and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Shen Dingzhu put away the letter and wiped away her tears. She finished her breakfast quietly and then took the initiative to walk to the front yard.
The closely guarded guards still bowed their hands in greeting when they saw her.
"See the Queen."
"Excuse me. I want to see the emperor now. Is it convenient for him?"
"It should be convenient. Someone has just arrived from the capital. I will go and pass the news right now."
As soon as the secret guard finished speaking, Xiao Langyan and Doctor Cen walked out of the room together, followed by a graceful figure.
Shen Dingzhu suddenly froze on the spot.
Wei Wan's smiling eyes were as clear as a deer's eyes, but with a deep look, they swept her cheek calmly.
"The emperor left in a hurry, Wan'er shouldn't have followed, but the emperor's medicine must be taken as usual, so I asked Imperial Physician Cen to take Wan'er with him and send the medicine over quickly. I also asked the emperor not to blame Wan'er. "Wei Wan smiled appropriately.
