When Xiao Langyan heard this, the expression in his thin eyes suddenly changed, his sword eyebrows were lowered, and his heart seemed to have been hit hard.
"What did you say?" His voice was trembling without even noticing it.
The look in Shen Dingzhu's eyes let him know that she was serious.
She raised her head slightly, looking delicate and beautiful, but cold and distant.
"I said, please ask the emperor to depose me. Since today is the Huang Mansion banquet, I won't stay any longer. The emperor will send people to Shi Mansion with General Lishu."
"From now on, let's cut it off in two."
After saying that, Shen Dingzhu turned around and left.
The officials couldn't believe what they were hearing.
The queen...the queen actually asked the emperor to divorce her! ?
When everyone looked at the emperor's face, they saw that Xiao Langyan's stern face was pale. He seemed to have been thrown into the boundless deep sea. The words and shadows of others could no longer be heard or seen.
All he could see was Shen Dingzhu's figure walking further and further away.
The moonlight shone on her, like a dream butterfly covered in light, about to fly away to another place where he would never find her again.
Xiao Langyan's mind flashed, and the next second, he yelled: "Shen Dingzhu! Stop right there!"
He chased after him like crazy, and the other officials didn't react. Lei Hong hurriedly followed with his guards.
Shen Dingzhu got on the carriage and told Jing Yi coldly: "Let's go back."
Jing Yi saw that her expression was wrong, so he didn't ask any more questions. He flicked the whip hard and the horse galloped forward through the snow.
Before the carriage even left the alley, Jing Yi heard voices coming from behind.
He turned to look back and saw Xiao Langyan chasing him out, but Shen Dingzhu didn't say anything. Jing Yi thought about it and whipped the whip faster.
The carriage quickly disappeared at the end of the snowy moonlight.
Xiao Langyan's legs were not intact and he was running too fast. He stepped on the ice on the road and suddenly slipped and fell.
"Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty, be careful!"
Everyone swarmed up from behind and helped him up.
Xiao Langyan's thin eyes were as dark as the sea, and there were waves everywhere. His voice was hoarse and anxious: "Prepare your horses, prepare your horses immediately!"
In the carriage.
Xiucui saw Shen Dingzhu's cold face and tight red lips.
"Empress... you, what's wrong with you? Didn't you see the emperor? Or..."
"Xiucui, from now on I will no longer be the empress. You will also go back to the palace. I will bother you with one last thing later. When you get home, help me pack my clothes and luggage."
Xiucui's face suddenly turned pale: "Is your Majesty leaving again? Where are you going? I will follow you!"
Shen Dingzhu closed his sour eyes tiredly and did not answer.
As long as she thought about it for a moment, she couldn't forget the half-buried wooden figure in the soil.
It was as if her heart had been completely thrown into the mire, crushed and crushed.
arrive home.
A Liang was startled by their appearance.
Shen Dingzhu kept packing things in the room with red eyes and a cold face.
Xiucui cried and followed her, while Jing Yi remained silent and waited for her.
"What's wrong?" Ah Liang felt uneasy.
Shen Dingzhu handed the stack of banknote boxes to A Liang.
"Together with the monthly money that Uncle Ren gave me before, as well as various trivial pocket items, here is a total of one hundred and thirty taels. Take it. During the period when Uncle Ren is not released from prison, you can go and collect one or two taels every day. , so that he can suffer less."
A Liang was shocked and didn't dare to answer.
Shen Dingzhu put it on the table nearby and didn't talk nonsense.
She quickly wrote a letter and asked Jing Yi to run to the inn tomorrow morning and send it to the capital for her.
"This is for my eldest brother. I explained the reason. He should be able to find a way to free Ren Bo from prison."
Xiu Cui was forced to pack her clothes on the side, moving slowly, always looking at Shen Dingzhu with tears in her eyes: "Empress, where are you going? You are about to give birth. Please think carefully about the baby in your belly..."
Shen Dingzhu interrupted her: "Xiucui, you, Shen Bi and Chunxi are the three people I trust most. I treat you sincerely. If I am not here in the future, please protect me." Stay with my kids.”
Xiucui cried and knelt down: "Empress, I beg you, no matter what misunderstanding there is, wait until the dragon fetus is born before leaving!"
Shen Dingzhu let go of her hand, picked up the half-packed clothes, and rolled them into a bundle.
As soon as she put it on her back, Jing Yi blocked the door and looked at her silently.
"Take me with you," he said.
Shen Dingzhu's eyes were complicated, and his bright white face was as beautiful as frost.
"Jing Yi, I can't take you with me. I don't know what the future will be like. You can find someone better to follow. After I leave, remember to apply medicine on your injuries on time."
Jing Yi refused, so he emphasized again: "Take me with you!"
When Shen Dingzhu saw him blocking her way, her eyes were dark and cold.
"If I take you away, who will send the letter for me? Jing Yi, you can do this for me, okay?"
Thinking of the task she had just given, Jing Yi frowned.
"I'm going now." Jing Yi turned around and walked out quickly.
Shen Dingzhu asked A Liang to chase him. The inn was closed so late, so be sure not to let him cause any trouble.
She was alone now, and no one could save her.
Shen Dingzhu looked back at Xiucui one last time and saw her kneeling on the ground crying, begging Shen Dingzhu to stay.
"Xiucui, master and servant, please listen clearly to the last command I give you."
"Don't cry, wipe your tears away."
After saying that, Shen Dingzhu walked into the moonlit courtyard.
Xiucui quickly staggered up and said, "Slave, please don't leave me!"
However, Shen Dingzhu closed the door to the inner courtyard with her backhand. She pulled out the hairpin and inserted it into the door. Xiucui kept beating the door inside.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please take your slaves with you! How can you live alone?" Xiucui's cry was pitiful.
Shen Dingzhu's eyes were red, she turned around and left resolutely.
However, as soon as she reached the door, she opened it and saw Xiao Langyan standing there in a mess, stained with snow dust, and his thin eyes were bloodshot.
He looked like he had just arrived and was still out of breath.
"Where are you going?" He became even more anxious when he saw the burden on Shen Dingzhu.
Shen Dingzhu didn't want to talk nonsense to him and walked away from him.
Xiao Langyan immediately followed. Thousands of elite soldiers were guarding the entrance of the alley. Even if the flying swallows came, they would be unable to fly.
Shen Dingzhu looked at this posture and looked back at Xiao Langyan coldly.
"The emperor also said that after giving birth to a child, he will make peace with me. I don't think we have to wait that long. Let's separate here now."
Xiao Langyan's eyes suddenly changed, as if a sharp knife was piercing his heart.
"I will never separate from you, I can't possibly separate from you!" He said too hastily, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and under his sword-shaped eyebrows, his thin eyes were completely black and red, like a lost beast.
He said anxiously: "Don't you understand, I am just talking in anger! All my indifference is false. When you are not around, I am inquiring about you every day. If I really want to separate from you, Why do you have to wait in Rongan City until you give birth? Shen Dingzhu, what do you want me to do? You tell me and I listen!"
Seeing the unchanging coldness of snow in her eyes, Xiao Langyan was completely panicked.
He grabbed her hand: "Don't be angry, it's my fault. I will correct it."
Shen Dingzhu wanted to break away from him, but Xiao Langyan hugged him directly.
He still knew how to protect her abdomen, but Shen Dingzhu's cold tears had already fallen from the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Langyan hugged her, his breathing voice full of pleading: "Don't go, I know I was wrong. If you like Rongan City, I will move the imperial capital here. I will never be jealous or care about your relationship with Xu Huaisong. "
"If you are worried about Shi Boren, I will immediately elevate him to a high official position so that he can take care of him in his old age. Whatever else you want, I will satisfy you. Please don't leave, okay? I can't live without you, Shen Dingzhu!"
He almost cut his heart out and showed it to her.
However, after a long period of intense emotions, he only heard two cold words from Shen Dingzhu.
"Let go."
Xiao Langyan's arm stiffened, and Shen Dingzhu broke free.
Under the moonlight, her black hair was slightly messy and stuck to her jade-white cheeks. Her red lips were half bloodless, but her eyes seemed to be filled with snow.
"Let's let each other go." She said, turned and left.
Xiao Langyan stood there blankly like a stone statue that had lost its soul. He did not say a word, and the elite soldiers did not dare to stop him. They moved out of the way. Shen Dingzhu walked very resolutely.
She didn't even look back.
The night was very dark, and there were only a few stars in the sky. The moonlight illuminated the road ahead, and it was so white that there was no end in sight.
Shen Dingzhu didn't know where she could go. She just wanted to leave this sad place temporarily.
However, she heard footsteps behind her.
Looking back, Xiao Langyan was following him again.
This time, it was just him.
There aren't that many people.
His thin eyes were red, and his stern face was filled with sadness and pain.
Always kept a short distance.
However, when Shen Dingzhu stopped, he also stopped quickly.
After she left, he followed her again.
Two streets in a row, it was dark at night, and there were no other pedestrians.
She walked alone on the road full of snow, but the moonlight stretched her shadow and fell in front of Xiao Langyan.
The two of them rarely have this kind of silence together. When they meet these days, they either quarrel or get red-eyed.
Shen Dingzhu smiled melancholy and bitterly for a moment.
While passing by the Bodhisattva Temple, suddenly, the child in her belly started to move violently.
Shen Dingzhu stopped suddenly, held his waist, and breathed out white mist from his red lips.
Xiao Langyan did not dare to step forward, so he could only frown and look in her direction, but saw Shen Dingzhu holding on to the wall on the side, bending slightly, as if enduring something.
He couldn't control his heart, and even if he saw her cold eyes again, he would chase after her without hesitation.
"What's wrong?!" Xiao Langyan's strong arms immediately supported her shaky body.
It was like a dragon bone falling from the sky, directly lifting up her weak body.
Then I realized that Shen Dingzhu's face was as pale as snow.
"My stomach hurts..." She endured the pain and felt some heat flowing out from below.
My water broke!
"I...I'm going to give birth."
