Shen Dingzhu's red lips pursed: "Nothing, why are you here suddenly? Have you sent someone to interrogate Jing Yi's guard? I suddenly had an idea, why don't you..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Langyan already had a cold face and quickly walked over and opened the wooden box she wanted to hide.
When she opened the lid of the square wooden box, she saw some of Shen Dingzhu's more expensive jewelry. It was not difficult to guess that this box was for her to store some precious things.
But the next second, Xiao Langyan's dark eyes saw the store title deeds and a bunch of keys neatly arranged inside.
He had also read the letter Xu Huaisong left for Shen Dingzhu, and he did not take away the things Xu Huaisong left because Xiao Langyan felt that Shen Dingzhu would not leave casually this time.
What if Xu Huaisong's things were taken away by force and she was made angry and uncomfortable?
But when Xiao Langyan saw that she treasured Xu Huaisong's things so much, his heart was still overwhelmed by a storm.
When Shen Dingzhu saw Xiao Langyan's stern expression, she instantly turned livid.
Her beautiful eyes rippled slightly, and her dark eyebrows frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Langyan waved the wooden box away with his palm, and it hit the pineapple wooden cabinet next to him with a loud bang. Shen Dingzhu's pretty face suddenly turned pale.
"What are you doing?!" She hurriedly went to collect her things, but Xiao Langyan grabbed her wrist.
Xiucui had already gone to get some hot medicine and rushed back. Standing at the door, she saw the empress tugging at her. She hurriedly came in: "Your Majesty, your empress, what's going on?"
Xiao Langyan looked back, his eyes red and violent, full of anger: "Get out and close the door!"
Xiucui was startled and glanced at Shen Dingzhu worriedly, but she didn't dare to disobey. She put the medicine bowl on the table: "The queen just felt uncomfortable, so I went to heat up the anti-fetal medicine..."
The implication is to remind Xiao Langyan not to forget that Shen Dingzhu is still pregnant!
However, Xiao Langyan only made a cold urging when his anger reached its peak: "Get out!"
Xiucui closed the door in panic.
Shen Dingzhu was grabbed by his wrist and pushed directly onto the couch. She protected her abdomen and struggled back and forth with the bound wrist.
"Xiao Langyan, you're hurting me!" She burst into tears, her wrists turning red.
However, Xiao Langyan couldn't help but press her neck and kissed her violently and domineeringly. He bit her lips, possessing her with absolute force.
He didn't know why he was so crazy. There was still a bitter medicinal taste in his mouth. Shen Dingzhu's tongue hurt when he bit her. She couldn't push Xiao Langyan away. She was dragging her pregnancy for more than seven months, which made her resist even more. Somewhat powerless.
Shen Dingzhu's clothes were half-opened at some point, revealing his white body. The string of his bellyband came loose, and his goose-yellow clothes fell on the couch. Xiao Langyan had already bitten a few ambiguous lines on his delicate neck flesh. red marks.
He forcefully plundered her mouth several times, but in the end he restrained himself and did not go any further. His bloodshot thin eyes were filled with the depth of an emperor, but deep in his eyes, there was a trace of uneasiness that was not easy to detect.
"Why are you so precious with the things he gave me? Do you want to leave me again?" Xiao Langyan's low and cold voice was a little hoarse. His thin breath flowed down, and he used his big palm to wipe the tears from the corners of Shen Dingzhu's eyes, but he could not wipe them away. over.
When Xiao Langyan let her go, Shen Dingzhu's beautiful eyes were already filled with tears, her lips were red and swollen, and she was bitten by him in several places.
Although she didn't use any force, when she was controlled by him, she felt helpless and humiliated. The crystal tears ran across the ends of her white eyes and fell into her dark hair.
She kept crying, probably because she was being kissed.
Xiao Langyan softened somewhere in his heart, and even his tone had a hint of concession: "Give those things Xu Huaisong gave you to Shi Boren, and then promise me that you will never leave again."
Her hair was disheveled, her pretty face was filled with tears, and she said with cold resentment: "Xiao Langyan, am I your plaything? Come and play with me when you are happy. Do you treat me like this when you are in a bad mood?" My feelings were not considered."
Xiao Langyan was stung by the disappointment in her eyes. His sharp eyebrows and black eyes were completely serious, and his expression was even stiffer.
He saw that Shen Dingzhu's clothes were almost torn by him. He sat up quickly and saw Shen Dingzhu quickly wrapped himself in the quilt, crying.
"Your Majesty, please go out. I don't want to see you now."
Xiao Langyan stood up suddenly, panting slightly. A strand of black hair hanging in front of his forehead made the emperor's red eyes look cold and depressing.
"I am your husband. Of course I will be angry when I see you hoarding the things Xu Huaisong left behind!"
"There is also a pearl hairpin that Uncle Ren gave me in that box. Do you want to care about it too?" Shen Dingzhu raised her tear-stained face and looked at the man in front of her.
Xiao Langyan's face turned dark and cold: "Anyone can do it, except Xu Huaisong!"
Xu Huaisong didn't seem to be afraid of death, and could chase him even though he was thousands of miles away. When he learned that Shen Dingzhu was alone, he still wanted his business to take root here.
Shen Dingzhu choked up, her beautiful eyes full of tears: "Why can't you tolerate Xu Huaisong? Although he was interested in me, I never responded. After I refused, he acted like a gentleman and kept his distance from me. .”
"He kept these things because he was afraid that I would be like this. These actions were just the care of a close friend. He was afraid that I would have nowhere to turn to after being abandoned by you. Is this also wrong?"
Hearing this, Xiao Langyan sneered from his thin lips.
"Is he a gentleman? If he is a gentleman, he will not use your whereabouts to come to me in exchange for some benefits!"
Is Xu Huaisong a gentleman?
What about him? Is he an unscrupulous, cold-blooded emperor? He doesn't understand her feelings, but Xu Huaisong does?
Xiao Langyan's voice was cold: "They all know that you are my weakness. No matter what the conditions are, as long as I lift you out, I will consider it. Everyone in the world knows it, but you are the only one who doesn't understand."
"You clearly know my temper. All I need is a soft word from you to coax him away. I just need you to tell me that you will never leave me like you did before. You can't say such a simple thing? You can't do it?"
Shen Dingzhu felt sad and turned her face away without answering. Her fair shoulders exposed in the air were shaking slightly with sobs.
Her attitude broke Xiao Langyan's heart again.
His sharp eyebrows were lowered, and his thin eyes were filled with snow and coldness: "Shen Dingzhu, how could I fall in love with a woman like you!"
Xiao Langyan fluttered his sleeves, kicked open the door and left gloomily.
Xiu Cui, who was trembling with fear, stumbled in and saw the broken clothes on the ground. When she looked at Shen Dingzhu's neck and the bitten corners of her lips, she turned even pale.
"Your Majesty, this servant is going to find some medicine right now."
Shen Dingzhu looked at the corner of the room with tearful eyes. Her wooden box had been completely smashed, and the jewelry was scattered all over the floor. The most important thing was that the partition on the second floor of the wooden box had been broken open.
If Xiao Langyan was willing to take a look just now, he would know that Shen Dingzhu just now was not collecting the things left by Xu Huaisong.
Instead, he was looking at the wooden figure he carved in the dark space.
Shen Dingzhu originally had a pair, but Xiao Langyan took one of them away, and the one left with her was hidden in the dark layer of the wooden box.
She knew that she left him when he was seriously ill, leaving a knot in his heart that he couldn't let go of.
They obviously had better ways to express their love for each other, but they all chose the most hurtful one. Now that things have happened, Shen Dingzhu feels deeply frustrated.
She lowered her head feebly, weeping sadly.
That night.
Xiao Langyan withdrew his troops with his guards and moved to the governor's home, taking Wei Wan with him.
There were only two hundred elite soldiers left in the Shi family.
Jing Yi was thrown into the firewood shed because he was injured. Xiao Langyan only asked Dr. Cen to stay and take care of the dragon fetus and nothing else.
When Shen Dingzhu learned the news, it was already the next morning.
Snow particles were floating in the gloomy sky. It was the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and this was probably the last snow before spring came.
Mr. Shi went to her room and saw Shen Dingzhu holding the quilt and sitting sadly on the bed. He also frowned in distress.
"Azhu, I asked A-Liang to cook a good dish for you. It's the stuffed meat stuffed with red water that you liked to eat before. It's sour and spicy. Can I bring it to you to try?" Mr. Shi took the initiative to comfort her.
Shen Dingzhu shook his head, not having much appetite for the time being.
Mr. Shi kept sighing: "Okay, what's going on? My son, you have to communicate with the emperor. No matter what, you still have his flesh and blood in your belly."
Xiucui came in and persuaded the old gentleman to leave, so as not to talk too much and make Shen Dingzhu sad again.
Yesterday, she finally managed to stop the Queen's tears.
It was snowing, and Shen Dingzhu was even more reluctant to go out. Xiao Langyan never sent anyone to ask about it. Only elite soldiers patrolled the Shi Mansion. Coupled with the falling snow, the whole house was lifeless.
It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the snow had stopped for several days. The cold wind was howling, and the courtyard was still covered in snow.
Shen Dingzhu felt a little better. It was useless no matter how sad she was. The child in her belly was moving happily, and her maternal instinct stimulated her to eat and drink medicine on time.
After getting up from her nap that day, Xiucui saw that the snow outside had been swept away, so she helped Shen Dingzhu for a walk in the yard.
"Mr. Cen said that my mother's pulse is almost eight months old. It's really good. Look at the auspicious snowfall a few days ago, which heralded a good harvest. Our little highness must be a lucky person!" Xiucui teased Shen Ding while talking about the child. Zhu is happy.
Shen Dingzhu forced a smile.
The master and servant passed by the woodshed and heard painful groans coming from inside.
Shen Dingzhu suddenly remembered that Jing Yi was still locked up here.
She was the one who advocated keeping Jing Yi alive for subsequent interrogation. Unexpectedly, Xiao Langyan was angry with her and left Jing Yi here to fend for himself.
Every time Dr. Cen came, he only took her pulse.
Shen Dingzhu herself had been sad for several days, and then she remembered Jing Yi. If no one cared about him for so many days, wouldn't he be close to death?
She regained her composure and quickly opened the woodshed door.
The room was filled with the smell of decay, the smell of flesh and blood. Jing Yi was lying on the couch. The wound on his neck had not completely healed and seemed to be inflamed.
He was probably in extreme pain. His cheeks were so thin that only his deep brow bones could be seen, and his brown-black tiger eyes had become dull.
After seeing Shen Dingzhu come in, he stopped moaning and turned his head slightly to look at her. The injured hand tremblingly raised the auspicious knot that was stained with blood and black.
The two embroidered words "peace" on it are extremely obvious.
"Help me..." he said feebly, "I can... help Emperor Jin's legs... it's all right..."
