Looking at the gentle Du Suxi in front of him, He Lianheng realized that he couldn't ask any questions. The question felt like it was stuck in my throat, it couldn't come up or come down, and I couldn't say anything.
"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?" Seeing He Lianheng in front of him who didn't say a word and looked hesitant, Du Suxi finally couldn't help but ask.
Under Du Suxi's gaze, He Lianheng forced a smile and was nervously preparing to ask from the side.
"I, I met Helian Kuang today."
Du Suxi's expression changed slightly, she looked at He Lianheng and asked in disbelief. "You guys? Are you taking action?"
"No, he just told me some things and took the initiative to ask for a punishment of thirty boards."
"Thirty Big Boards?" Du Suxi raised her eyebrows in slight surprise. In her impression, Helian Kuang had always been a strong and domineering figure. He actually took the initiative to recognize the Thirty Big Boards. This was beyond her knowledge. .
"Yes. Moreover, he also said some things, so I want to ask you... Whose is the child in your belly?"
After He Lianheng said that, he even lowered his head. But his eyes fell on Du Suxi's flat belly. He had always wanted to know who the child in Du Suxi's belly was, but after several insinuations, he couldn't figure out the reason.
"So he means that the child in my belly is his? And you believe it, right?"
Du Suxi's voice suddenly became cold, and her eyes looking at He Lianheng also showed a bit of disappointment. She didn't expect that He Lianheng's hesitating and going around in circles just now wanted to ask who the child in her belly was.
He Lianheng looked at Du Suxi, who had a cold face in front of him, and subconsciously wanted to speak out to defend himself, but suddenly realized that this was what he was thinking. For a moment, he didn't know how to explain, so he could only sigh secretly in his heart. , lower your head lower.
A very romantic person before, but now he no longer behaves like him.
Du Suxi didn't care about He Lianheng, her eyes fell on the void, she touched her lower abdomen and spoke calmly.
"I said that the child in my belly has no father, and I will raise him alone. Therefore, no matter Helian Kuang or anyone else, I have nothing to do with him."
"..." He Lianheng couldn't help but raise his head and look at the woman in front of him. Du Suxi had calmed down. She looked at He Lianheng and poured him a pot of tea. As if what happened just now had never happened, she analyzed it softly.
"He Liankuang is very scheming. I'm afraid you are no match for him, so don't trust his words. If you have any difficulties, you can go to Jingwei. She may be able to help you a little."
He Lianheng's mouth moved, and looking at Du Suxi's calm look, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"If possible, I can help you take care of the child."
Du Suxi paused for a moment, then immediately recovered, looked at He Lianheng, shook her head firmly, looked at He Lianheng, and spoke seriously.
"No need. My child, I will be responsible for it myself. However, before that, I will definitely help you win the throne."
"Throne?" He Lianheng read the word several times, with a wry smile on his lips, looking at Du Suxi with burning eyes, and said seriously.
"If you really want the child in your belly, then marry me. If I am lucky enough to become the emperor, I will grant you the position of mother of the country. I know you may not like it, but you should know that you After all, this child in the belly cannot live without his father."
"..." These words made Du Suxi frown once again. This time, he didn't rush to refute. Instead, he lowered his head, touched his flat belly, and really thought about it.
Her child deserves a father.
However, not to mention that Murong Fu was missing at this time, even if he came back at this time, she would not admit that this was his flesh and blood. That night, it was just drunkenness. The marriage was so casual that it would break up at dawn. It would be ridiculous if she persisted here.
However, what He Lianheng said did make sense, but her child could not live without his father. She originally planned to abort him. This child appeared at the wrong time, but she never thought that maybe it was fate that tied their lives together, causing them both to prosper and suffer. It seemed that it was God's destiny for her to accept this child.
After thinking about it, Du Suxi felt a little moved. She looked at Murong Fu and couldn't help but ask.
"Is everything you said serious?"
He Lianheng did not expect that Du Suxi would be shaken, with a look of joy on his face, and he nodded hurriedly in promise. "nature."
Du Suxi lowered her head and thought for a moment, then smiled wryly.
"If one day comes, I will seriously consider it, but no matter what, I will definitely do my best to help you ascend to the throne. This can be regarded as my repayment for your life-saving grace."
Did she agree? He Lianheng was startled and suddenly laughed heartily. And he spoke with great interest.
"Being able to have such a wonderful woman like Su Xi in this life is the blessing I gained from my previous life."
Du Suxi moved her mouth, lowered her head towards He Lianheng, and said thank you. The two were speechless for a moment.
"By the way, the reason why I met He Liankuang today was because of one thing. It is said that the little Mongolian prince came to the capital, and eight out of ten times, he came to get married."
He Lianheng expressed his conjecture. Although the old emperor did not say it clearly from beginning to end, as long as a thoughtful person thinks carefully, he may be able to figure it out.
"Prince of Mongolia?" Du Suxi frowned in confusion, but then heard He Lianheng say.
"Moreover, Helian Kuang also took the initiative to ask for the post of envoy to receive the Mongolian prince. I, the Heavenly Saint, have always been at odds with Mongolia. This Helian Kuang must be plotting with the Mongolian prince to classify Mongolia as a His right-hand man, let’s help him fight for the throne.”
Although He Lianheng was not in the court, it did not mean that he knew nothing about the affairs of the court. After thinking for a while, he expressed his guess. But there was a bit of disdain on that face, obviously looking down upon Helian Kuang's actions.
Du Suxi took in He Lianheng's unruly expression and sighed inwardly, but said nothing. She looked at He Lianheng and said.
"Have you ever heard of the ploy to sow discord?"
As soon as the words came out, He Lianheng immediately frowned and looked at Du Suxi. Apparently he understood the meaning of Du Suxi's words and said.
"I don't even bother to do such a dirty trick."
"..." Du Suxi couldn't help lowering her head and sighing slightly after hearing He Lianheng's words. Although this He Lianheng has an extraordinary mind, he still lacks a bit of sophistication in human nature. How profound is the art of the emperor? If you insist on being a gentleman all the time, I am afraid that within a few years of being in this position, you will be plotted by a treacherous villain and end up with a miserable end.
Although Du Suxi hated He Lian Kuang, he had to admit at this time that He Lian Kuang was superior to He Lian Heng in terms of intelligence, perseverance, and strategy. Undoubtedly, He Lian Kuang might be the most suitable candidate. A candidate to be the emperor.
However, she could not let He Lianheng become the emperor no matter what!
Take a deep breath. Du Suxi looked at He Lianheng in front of her, thought for a while, and tried to guide him.
"Have you ever thought that if Helian Kuang really succeeds and colludes with the Mongolian prince, he might do something that is harmful to heaven and earth and harmful to the Heavenly Saint? You know Helian Kuang's temperament. In order to achieve his goal, , never justifies the means, I hope you, for the sake of Heavenly Saint, and for yourself, will think it over carefully."
"..." After hearing this, He Lianheng fell silent, lowered his head, looked at his black boots, and seemed lost in thought. Du Suxi looked at He Lianheng's appearance quietly, knowing that He Lianheng knew what was important and what was important. She sighed softly, refilled a cup of tea for He Lianheng, and spoke calmly.
"Because Du Yunxi made a fool of herself at the Hundred Flowers Festival, the Du family already suspected that it was me. Du Qifeng even came to see me before. However, at that time, I showed myself in human skin. Although he had seen me, he never recognized me. He didn't want me, but he forced me to agree to attend Du Zaifu's fiftieth birthday next month."
She said it calmly, not caring at all. His expression was not even the slightest bit moved. When He Lianheng heard this, he immediately frowned.
"This is definitely a Hongmen Banquet, you can't go!"
Du Suxi looked at He Lianheng. She could tell from He Lianheng's eyes that he was worried about her. She smiled back, looked at the nervous He Lianheng, stroked her relatively flat belly, and nodded.
"I know, but it won't work if I don't go. I can't hide from the first grade, but I can't hide from the fifteenth grade. And, for some reasons, I'm afraid I can only see them with Du Suxi's appearance."
"You..." He Lianheng's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect that Du Suxi would give him such an answer. Not only do I have to go, but I also have to face him with his true colors.
them. They are her family, what if something happens
The more He Lianheng thought about it, the more he became afraid. He frowned and wanted to stop him, but saw Du Suxi shaking her head with a smile and looking at He Lianheng with firm eyes.
"Don't worry, Du Suxi has always lived in the small courtyard of Du Mansion and rarely shows up in public. As long as the Du family doesn't tell others, no one else will know Du Suxi's appearance. Moreover, hasn't the Du family already Did they declare to the outside world that Du Suxi has died of illness? If they admit that Du Suxi is not dead, they have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. The crime of deceiving the emperor should be punished. "
Du Suxi smiled softly, but when she spoke, she was like an old fox who had been playing games in the court for a long time. It's full of wonders and makes people want to refute it, but it also feels very reasonable and they don't know what to do.
He Lianheng frowned, looked at Du Suxi unbearably for a long time, and said. "It's too risky for you to do this. After all, someone has seen Du Suxi before."
Du Suxi met his gaze, smiled indifferently, and continued to speak.
"As long as the Du family doesn't admit it, then even if everyone knows that I am Du Suxi, so what, Du Suxi is dead, right?"
"Yes, but if you do this, it is tantamount to openly challenging the entire Du family. When the time comes, you will turn against the entire Du family. Is this worth it?"
He Lianheng felt that he could no longer see through the woman in front of him.
How hard-hearted should this woman be? Would she not care about the parents she has been getting along with? Not caring about the family she grew up in, choosing to stand against them and become an enemy? He Lianheng didn't dare to think about it. It was hard for him to accept such a thing. The Du Suxi in front of me felt a little strange.
Du Suxi was stunned for a moment after hearing He Lianheng's words. Then she turned her head and looked at He Lianheng, as if she heard a funny joke. She stretched out her palm to face He Lianheng and spoke softly.
"This scar is a painful lesson left to me by my so-called sister. When I was a child, she asked the emperor for marriage and married me to a stranger. She even used drugs to captivate all my senses and make me lose my temper. I couldn't move, it almost killed me. If I hadn't broken the tea cup and held the pieces in my hand, maybe I would have married a fool."
"There is also a scar here, on the knee. The head of the Du family, Mrs. Ye, broke a tea cup and asked me to kneel on it, which also left several scars."
"And here, this is the whip mark left by Du Yunxi's whipping on a whim when he was fourteen years old."
"Here, above the ankle, is the scar from being scalded with boiling water when I was eleven years old."
"Here, he was bitten by a dog when he was seven years old."
"here… "
"here… "
Du Suxi pointed at various places on her body and looked at He Lianheng calmly as she spoke. Her eyes were still calm, as if she was not talking about herself, but someone else.
He Lianheng was stunned when he heard all this unbelievable news. He looked at Du Suxi with astonishment in his eyes. He never imagined that the second daughter of the grand prime minister's family would receive such treatment since she was a child.
Du Suxi took in He Lianheng's surprised eyes, raised an indifferent smile on her lips, shrugged at He Lianheng, and said helplessly.
"So you still want to say that I am against the entire Du family? The entire Du family, except for Master Zaifu and Du Qifeng, has no warmth at all. Why can't I break free from such a family? Why is it not worth it? "
Why can't we escape from such a home? What's not worth it
He Lianheng finally understood why Du Suxi could choose to go against the Du family so calmly. He had been loved by his parents since he was a child. Among the several princes, the emperor only valued him, and his mother was the most important person in the dynasty. The mother of the country, the eminent queen. Where would anyone dare to bully him? No matter where he went, people were respectful to him and did not dare to neglect him. He thought that everyone was like this, but he never thought that there was a world outside the world, and not everyone was like him.
He Lianheng's eyes quickly flashed with guilt, he looked at Du Suxi and whispered.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to expose your scars."
Du Suxi looked at He Lianheng's guilty look and smiled indifferently. Instead, she stretched out her hand and carelessly touched He Lianheng's head. She rolled her eyes at He Lianheng and complained.
"I'm not that vulnerable yet."
"Pfft." He Lianheng couldn't help but be amused by Du Suxi's actions, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
