Ouyang Xi.
It's Ouyang Xi again.
"So this is the reason why you let her live," Wei Yanzhou suddenly said fiercely: "You think I will be soft-hearted!"
It doesn't matter.
It really didn't matter to Cheng Ning. She had already taken revenge, and the rest was between Wei Yanzhou and Ouyang Xi.
But she felt that Wei Yanzhou was still dissatisfied.
Cheng Ning smiled: "Actually, I have a lot of responsibilities until today. I was a little sad when I knew that the anti-pregnancy medicine you gave me was fake."
"And because of the Cheng family's affairs, I wondered if Concubine Wen was treating you very badly out of my sight. Although the late emperor treated everyone equally, my father preferred banquets, so even if you were not treated coldly, you were always treated badly. It’s the second choice.”
There was a little echo in the hall, and Wei Yanzhou looked at Cheng Ning intently in this scene.
"Then the late emperor passed away. I know that it was true that he gave you the throne before his death, but it was not a reward. He just handed you a knife."
"He may have thought that you simply executed the Cheng family. Because he couldn't do it, he transferred his hatred to you, and you because of me -"
Cheng Ning raised his eyes and saw a shadow cast by the candlelight under Wei Yanzhou's eyelids.
Covering his always deep eyes.
It felt like a tear appeared in Wei Yanzhou's eyes.
Although I know it's impossible, because Wei Yanzhou is such a person, he is cruel, cold-blooded, and his knife is only aimed at others.
Even if he feels depressed in his heart, he may not cry.
But Cheng Ning couldn't hold back. She raised her hand and pressed lightly under his eyelids, and scraped there hard with her fingertips.
——When I let go of my hand, the shadow was still there again.
"So I think that maybe having an heir is a good thing. When you have an heir, you have someone closest to you, connected by blood. You have experienced it, so you should be good to the child."
"Especially on that day, I asked you whether you wanted a boy or a girl, and you said either way, you would pave the way anyway."
At that time, Cheng Ning felt that Wei Yanzhou was the most cruel and soft-hearted.
He always longs for someone who belongs only to him and will be the closest person to him.
Wei Yanzhou looked away.
Cheng Ning continued: "It would be better if this child was not born by me."
Because they have been competing with each other, hurting and hating each other, even speaking calmly like this today may be the only time.
It's tiring to talk like this, very tiring.
It is from physical to mental fatigue.
"So you don't want to have a baby?" Wei Yanzhou scoffed: "Because this child is a tie, otherwise, it was me you wanted to aim your knife at that day, right?"
Not really.
This time it was Cheng Ning's turn to be silent.
"You asked me about my feelings for you," Wei Yanzhou opened his hands slightly, his drunkenness dissipated, and he said openly: "I am understood by you, but what about you?"
Cheng Ning was slightly startled: "Me what?"
"You agreed to marry Wei Yanshu half-heartedly, and you have never expressed any affection for Fu Youting. Who do you really love?"
No one would have asked Cheng Ning this question before, because Marshal Cheng came and went like the wind, as if there was no need for romance.
Only Wei Yanzhou would care. If everyone has a sweetheart, who would Cheng Ning's sweetheart be.
But Cheng Ning just lowered his head and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."
If Wei Yanzhou took a closer look, he would find that Cheng Ning said he didn't know, not not.
But I am too tired tonight, both mentally and physically.
The sound of a night watch could be heard on the palace road outside, and there was not much time left before going to court.
Cheng Ning paused and continued: "I don't know what your strong... feelings are like. I have never experienced them, but I also told Yanshu that I do not want to be a concubine, nor do I want to share Husband, maybe I was a little domineering before, but I won’t change it now.”
Because the emperor was destined to have three palaces and six courtyards, Wei Yanzhou was destined to have another gentle town.
While Wei Yanzhou was frozen there, Cheng Ning stood up.
"It's getting late." Cheng Ning looked at him: "Have a rest and then go to court. Stop making trouble, okay?"
Stop making trouble, this is what Cheng Ning has said the most recently.
It seemed that Wei Yanzhou was an unreasonable three-year-old child, dragging Cheng Ning to ask for sweets.
"What's wrong with me?" Wei Yanzhou suddenly said fiercely: "You don't have to come!"
"Then I'll ask Wang Xi to invite Concubine Shu. Don't you like to hear her talk? If seeing me makes you feel more uncomfortable, then... I won't leave Linhua Palace from now on."
She knew Wei Yanzhou, it was true that she liked him, and it was true that she felt uncomfortable when she saw him.
Otherwise, he would not have been at a loss just now, nor would he have no idea how to speak.
"Cheng Ning!"
"Ouyang Xi and I have nothing! I was the one who went to Liyue Palace, but I never touched her! If this is what you care about, why never ask me?!"
Wei Yanzhou grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms forcefully. You could feel that he was very angry from his hot breath buried in Cheng Ning's neck.
I am angry again, but there is no solution.
Cheng Ning was strangled so tightly that his bones hurt.
Everywhere in my body hurts.
"What do you want, Wei Yanzhou?"
No matter what happened to him and Ouyang Xi, the road between them would not go smoothly, right?
The human figure in his arms was bone-crunched, squeezing his hands, and his heart ached.
It was only a month, so even if he didn't go there, Wang Xi wouldn't be able to shorten Linhua Palace's food consumption.
But Cheng Ning just seemed to have lost a layer of flesh, leaving only a thin skin.
She is still pregnant with the child.
Do you think he can't see it?
"You don't want to live anymore." Wei Yanzhou said suddenly, "Don't you?"
The child might be something Cheng Ning couldn't bear, or it might be to compensate for his apology.
Cheng Ning shook violently in his arms, with fear in her eyes.
How did he...
"You want to give birth to a child and then leave forever in another way," Wei Yanzhou was determined: "Do you think I can't see it?"
"I--"
"I'll help you." Wei Yanzhou interrupted her quickly.
In an instant, he made a decision. If Cheng Ning wanted it, he would make it happen.
Cheng Ning couldn't even keep up with his thoughts. When she still felt pain, Wei Yanzhou let her go.
He turned and pressed his forehead against hers in an intimate gesture, his lips even lightly brushing the tip of Cheng Ning's nose.
Wei Yanzhou was very scary at this time, his eyes were so heavy that it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"My heart pleases you."
Wei Yanzhou kissed Cheng Ning's eyes, and at the same time, a tear that was no longer an illusion fell from the corner of his eye.
It fell into Cheng Ning's hands.
It's warm, but somehow scalding.
"I never said it before, but I want to say it again now." He quickly backed away after saying that.
Then while Cheng Ning was still stunned, he stood up and opened the door of the hall.
The sound fell into the hall and became ethereal.
"Concubine Xi, Cheng Ning, killed the imperial concubine with vicious methods. Her crime is unforgivable. From now on, she will be sent to prison and given poisonous wine."
It's bright outside the door.
