Inside the swaying ship, the curtains were hung low, and seasonal fruits were placed on the fine mahogany dragon-carved coffee table. The fresh fruity aroma spread throughout the ship.
In the cabin, the surrounding semi-open wooden windows brought in endless cold wind as the ship moved forward, and Shen Dingzhu happened to be sitting at the wind outlet.
The broken hair on the temples swayed with the purple jade earrings, which highlighted her palm-sized face, which was bright and bright, but also had a hint of pink due to the wind.
Xiao Langyan sat opposite her, glanced coldly, and asked Xiucui to close the window and retreat.
The window was closed, but Shen Dingzhu still felt cold. The yellow and pink peach embroidered shoes under her skirt had been soaked with snow water, and the slightest chill ran down the soles of her feet and penetrated into her bones.
Xiao Langyan looked at the corners of Shen Dingzhu's lips. He heard from Dr. Cen that the corners of her lips were broken. He thought that the bite was a little harsh last time and she was too delicate.
So when he saw that there were no scars on the corners of her mouth, his eyes darkened, as if he was relieved.
"Push me away, then follow me, knowing that you are pregnant, and still making me worry. Is such a trick what you are capable of, Shen Dingzhu?" Xiao Langyan broke the silence between them with a cold voice.
When Shen Dingzhu wanted a cup of hot water, it was choked in his throat.
She raised her long, fine eyelashes, and the beauty's lantern was dim and warm, highlighting her expression with incomparable tranquility.
"Whether the emperor believes it or not, I didn't do any tricks. When I went out today, I really went to the shop to find Uncle Ren."
"Why, you want to continue to open a shop with him?" Xiao Langyan suppressed his anger and looked at Shen Dingzhu with dark eyes.
She paused, as if hesitating whether to tell him the truth or not.
Xiao Langyan's face darkened: "Don't hide anything, I hate lying."
Shen Dingzhu could only nod obediently: "Yes, before the birth, I will continue to do my best to help Uncle Ren, and... I also plan to open the shops left by Mr. Xu."
"How dare you!" Xiao Langyan suddenly slapped the table, and the fine celadon teacup jumped, making a crisp knocking sound.
Thick clouds gathered in his eyes, and his chest heaving and panting slightly showed his sullenness.
"The Emperor doesn't allow Dr. Cen to treat Jing Yi. Mr. Shi and I don't have any extra money to buy medicine. If we don't open a shop, I can survive on the Emperor's financial support before giving birth. What will Mr. Shi do? ?”
Xiao Langyan's aura was dark, and the jade crown highlighted his cold, thin eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows.
"The life you are living now is your own choice. I have given you countless opportunities, but you did not cherish them and instead pushed me away again and again."
He stood up, his figure as tall as a vigorous cold mountain, and all the light from the lantern above his head was blocked by him.
Shen Dingzhu was shrouded in his figure, raised her white face, and looked at him quietly with her beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
"I will give you another chance to surrender. You will hand over the shop to Shi Boren and give up on Jing Yi. I will order Wei Wan and others to be silenced, and we will return to the capital."
At this moment, Shen Dingzhu's long eyelashes trembled.
She looked at Xiao Langyan's stern face, and her red lips suddenly formed a bitter smile.
"Ignore Jing Yi and Wei Wan, what should I do with the emperor's legs?"
Xiao Langyan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her chin: "What I'm talking about now is the relationship between you and me! Why do you always talk about them? Without them, my legs can be cured. Or do you still dislike me at all?"
Shen Dingzhu lowered his eyelashes, like two dark shadows on his white porcelain skin.
"I don't, and I have never disliked the emperor. It's just that I can't do what the emperor demands."
After she said that, she gently waved his hand away and glanced at the ferry, which was nearby. Shen Dingzhu said, "I'll just go back from there. I'll reach home after crossing an alley."
Xiao Langyan was almost angered by her lukewarm attitude, and his blood flowed backwards.
Looking at the whole world, anyone who dares to ignore his concession would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago!
at this time.
Something fell from his sleeve.
Shen Dingzhu looked down and saw that it was a lottery ticket. She held her bulging belly and tried to pick it up for him awkwardly, but Xiao Langyan's big palm picked it up first.
Seeing how precious he was, Shen Dingzhu couldn't help but ask: "The emperor asked for a good fortune?"
Xiao Langyan sneered and threw the lottery on the table next to her.
Shen Dingzhu picked up the signature and looked at it carefully.
It was actually the signature of marriage.
[This matter gradually becomes clear, and the two are connected after the heart is settled; be at ease and guard against the wind and frost, and return the world to your sleeves]
What he is talking about is his marriage. He is about to bid farewell to the past that was full of ups and downs, and usher in true happiness between the two hearts.
Shen Dingzhu was in a trance for a moment.
Xiao Langyan was already beside her. He put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "It's a gift from the gods and Buddhas. I guess it's not fake. I said that the queen's position you don't want will be filled by others."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his thin eyes to see Shen Dingzhu's reaction. However, she just quietly put the lottery back on the table.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." If she was the one he was going to go through, then she would do everything she should do before she left.
The ship had already docked at the shore. Shen Dingzhu stood up and resigned in the eyes of Xiao Langyan who was gradually turning angry.
Looking at her back, Xiao Langyan panicked for a moment.
His cold voice was full of teeth: "Shen Dingzhu, if you leave this ship, I will never coax you again. You have to think clearly."
Shen Dingzhu's footsteps stopped at the door. She raised her eyes and saw the dark blue night outside, and the lights of the Lantern Festival fireworks were so bright.
The beauty looked sideways slightly, and saw that the emperor's face was gloomy, but he was still holding the lotus stick, and his thin black eyes were undulating like the abyss.
"The exposure is deeper and the cold air is rising on the water. Your Majesty, please go back early."
After saying that, she turned and left.
It happened that Lei Hong, the commander of the imperial army, hurriedly boarded the ship with a pair of shoes and socks he had just bought.
"Your Majesty, bring me the things..."
However, Shen Dingzhu passed him by. Lei Hong was startled and immediately looked at Xiao Langyan.
Isn't this bought for the Queen? The queen is leaving!
Xiao Langyan chased him to the deck, looked at Shen Dingzhu's back, and shouted angrily: "Shen Dingzhu!"
Exactly the next second, fireworks exploded all over the sky, and the bright light illuminated Xiao Langyan's dark eyebrows and Shen Dingzhu's fading figure.
The people around them all looked up at the emperor on the boat.
Xiucui supported Shen Dingzhu's arm and looked back hesitantly for a long time. She reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, your Majesty..."
"Don't look back." Shen Dingzhu murmured, the heat from her nose dripped out, and the blood stained her clothes.
Of course she understood Xiao Langyan's thoughts, he just wanted to protect her.
But she can't be so selfish.
He needed to get better, and he couldn't give up on everything just for her.
Shen Dingzhu's face was pale, and the wet shoes and socks under her feet were very uncomfortable, but she always held her thin white neck up until Xiao Langyan could no longer see her.
Lei Hong walked to Xiao Langyan and saw that the emperor's expression was terrifyingly dark.
"I am willing to invite the Queen back." Lei Hong held his hands and waited for Xiao Langyan's order.
However, after a moment of silence, Xiao Langyan suddenly snatched away the shoes and socks he had bought and threw them directly into the Yushui River where the lanterns were floating.
A full moon shines in the heart of the sky, stars are shining brightly, and thousands of lanterns leap to the Milky Way.
The river water, like someone's tears, swayed the shoes and socks, and finally sank.
…
Shen Dingzhu's nosebleed was raging, and when he covered it with his hand, it kept dripping out.
As soon as she returned home, she met Mr. Shi and the others who had just returned.
When she saw Shen Dingzhu's face covered in blood, she was frightened.
"The number of nosebleeds has increased, and why are they getting worse? Could it be that even the imperial doctor's medical skills are not good enough!" Mr. Shi was anxious.
He quickly took Shen Dingzhu to the firewood shed, and Jing Yi used all the ointments at home to stop bleeding and remove blood stasis.
Jing Yi heard the voice and turned around to see Shen Dingzhu's face was filled with blood, and even he opened his eyes wide.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Everyone was too busy to pay attention to him. Xiucui helped Shen Dingzhu sit on the chair, and Mr. Shi brought the unused ointment.
A Liang went to get another basin of hot and humid water.
When Shen Dingzhu saw that everyone was so nervous, Xiucui almost cried.
She forced a gentle smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm a month old now, I've been eating well recently, and I've been taking a lot of miscarriage pills, so I probably overdid it."
Just then, they heard the sound of the chain breaking.
Everyone was startled and turned around to see that Jing Yi had actually removed the iron chain fixed on the ground with his bare hands! Dragging the chain, he stood up from the couch.
