"I know, but I still love you. One you is better than anything else. Master prescribed a unique prescription for me to treat your body cold. That's why I arranged for a housekeeper. Chuntang Qiuyue has been giving you decoctions and always persuading you to take the medicine. , I’m afraid you will have a burden in your heart, so I never told you that if the treatment is not good, if you have been unable to have a child, I also plan to be fine, and canonize Li Xuan as a prince and inherit the Ming Jiangshan. Li Xuan is the eldest son and prince of the emperor!" Mo Qihan hugged Ling Xueman tightly and lightly pecked her forehead with deep love.
"mistress…"
Ling Xueman murmured, she didn't know what to say, she was so moved that she lingered in her heart, but she also remembered that he wanted to have a son as soon as possible, and once said that whoever conceives a dragon seed in the Sixth Palace of the East and West will be the queen. Established his son as the prince... She suddenly had it now, so he changed his rhetoric to appease her!
"Manman, do you know how happy I am now? If the father and the queen mother knew that you were pregnant, they would be crazy! They have been looking forward to it! Great, great! Manman, you finally have it, can’t I'm pissed off with me again. I really want to be obedient, not for anything else, even if you are a child, you have to be behaved, know? Also, you must not run around anymore. Before doing anything, think about it. Remember that you are a pregnant woman, and then see if you can do it, you know?"
Mo Qihan asked meticulously, paused, thought of something, and continued: "In the future, I will arrange for someone to cook your meals alone. I will prepare a lot of sour plums for you. All meals are in a secret room to avoid nausea and vomiting. People see the strangeness, and...well, I have to confess to my good master, and I have to ask the mother in the lower palace again to see if there is anything that needs attention. In short, I am most worried about you, for fear that you are not careful. I lost the child, so promise me to be obedient, okay?"
For a long time, Ling Xueman didn't say a word, his mind was roaring, and he couldn't hear what Mo Qihan was talking about. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad. She was immersed in a trance, slowly digesting this one falling from the sky. Accident.
She was pregnant... She actually had a baby between them... This was a dream that she once had. Now she has no joy of being a new mother, but she has fallen into an ice cave instead!
Slowly raising her head, she looked at the handsome face that was so happy that there were smiles in her eyebrows. When she wanted to have an abortion, she couldn't say anything. She could imagine that if she said it, he would have What a fierce reaction.
A small part of the ice in Moon Lake has melted, and the floating ice surface is faintly shaking.
Ling Xueman's hand was held tightly by the man beside her, as if she was afraid that she would jump out of the lake on an impulse.
For a moment, she suddenly remembered the scene that happened here that year. She fell into the water and Wujie flew to rescue her... Looking sideways, she couldn't help but ask softly: "That year, you pretended to be Wujie and rescued me. Did it come ashore?"
"Yes, I saved you. Except for the expedition, I have been by your side all the time. I live in the Fragrant Altar. I come to see you at night. I walked through the secret road. The exit is on the stone wall behind the screen. "Mo Qihan said softly.
"Wujie played with me, it was actually you, right?"
"Correct."
"Where is Lin Mengqing? It seems that he is not the cousin of the housekeeper, right?"
"Meng Qing is my junior and master's apprentice. He went on the expedition together with me."
"Who is the chaotic party you want to clean up? Who is the one who has killed me many times? Who is the man who kidnapped me on the night of the Lantern Festival?"
"I'm not going to tell you this. Sometimes, it's rare to be confused. If you don't know, you will be happy if you don't know. If you know, you won't be happy from now on."
Ling Xueman didn't ask any more, as long as he refused to say, no matter how she asked, she wouldn't get an answer. If she was reluctant, she could only get deceived.
On the way back to the palace, she fell asleep with a pillow on his lap. She slept very comfortably. I don't know what she was dreaming. She raised her mouth slightly in her sleep. However, she frowned soon and never stretched it again.
When the two fell asleep at night, he lightly embraced her and kissed her lips, her forehead, and her cheek softly. He couldn't help but quietly cover her chest with his big hands, but he tried his best to endure it. Only hug her to sleep sweetly.
In the third shift tonight, he never left again, and he was asleep with a happy smile on his lips.
Her unhappiness was seen in his eyes and hurt in his heart. He knew that unless he let her see with his own eyes how he pampered the harem, she would not believe it.
Therefore, he decided to be patient, as long as she no longer held the round table between them, as long as he was willing to let him sleep with her, he would not touch her and wait patiently for her willing day.
At the fifth watch, he woke up. While sitting on the bed and getting dressed, he gave a casual glance and said in surprise: "Manman, why are you awake too? Did I bother you?"
"No, I can't sleep anymore." Ling Xueman smiled softly and looked at Mo Qihan intently. The palace lantern was shining brightly. She stared at the beautiful face and grinned her lips. "It's true that you are right. , You are worthy of me, no matter your background or appearance, you are more than enough."
"Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't deserve it, it doesn't matter, as long as you like it." Mo Qihan blinked playfully, went down to the ground, fastened the jade belt around his waist, and sorted out the accessories on his waist, one on the left and one on the right. Jade.
"Your jade pendant is really good-looking." Ling Xueman looked over and asked with interest, "isn't this jade pendant very valuable?"
"That's natural. This is a gift of twenty years old from my elder brother." Mo Qihan held the jade pendant on the left, and after speaking, he held the jade pendant on the right and said: "This one is a symbol of my identity. , Anyone who sees it will be like me in person, how can it be worthless?"
"Oh. That's it." Ling Xueman nodded understandingly, and smiled very cleverly, "Then you go to the court, if you have time, I will wait for you to have a meal in the secret room."
"Yeah, good." Mo Qihan leaned over happily, gave a light kiss on Ling Xue's forehead, and then left contentedly.
Go to the study.
"Enjoy the emperor, Nanzhao Prince Xuanyuan Gujin has led a delegation to Beijing, and Master Zhang and Master Gu from the Ministry of Rites have welcomed them to the post house! Please, the emperor, when will you enter the palace to meet?"
Mo Qichen knelt in front of the imperial desk, with joy on his calm face.
"Sixth brother, I have a decree, today the prince of Nanzhao and his party will take a break at the post house for one day, and tomorrow morning for the pilgrimage!" Mo Qihan smiled slightly, and after speaking, he thought for a while and said: "Sixth brother, I order you and the Ministry of Rites We will receive the Prince of Nanzhao together. Although the two countries have fought and Daming will win, we can't put on a high posture. Those who come are guests and treat them with courtesy!"
"Yes, the emperor, my official brother remember!" Mo Qichen arched his hands.
During lunch, Mo Qihan didn’t come over in a hurry. Ling Xueman resisted the pregnancy reaction and reluctantly ate some, so he wanted to go out to get some air, after leaving the secret way, and then out of the clothing bureau, moved a stool and sat in the yard to bask in the sun. .
Since Mo Qihan left in the morning, she has been thinking about how to steal his jade pendant, how to avoid his eyes and sneak out of the palace.
The thinking was too focused, so that someone approached. She didn't notice it. When she saw the extra shadow in front of her, she suddenly raised her eyes, and then said in astonishment: "Three princes!"
"What are you thinking about? So ecstatic!" Mo Qiming smiled and asked gently.
"I didn't think about anything, three princes, are you looking for something to do with me?" Ling Xueman pretended to smile naturally, and asked straightforwardly.
Mo Qiming looked at her, but said nothing.
Ling Xueman was staring so intently, making her face slightly red, "cough cough" twice, and frowned: "Three princes, are there flowers on my face? What do you see me doing? I have something to say!"
After lunch, the working eunuchs and maids were still resting. Therefore, there was no one in the yard. Mo Qiming squatted down slightly, tilted his mouth, half joking and half serious, saying: "Of course there are flowers. , And it's beautiful."
"Huh?" Ling Xue was stunned, and immediately reacted, her cheeks felt even redder, and she glared angrily, and said displeased: "What are you talking about? If you don't say anything, I'll go back to the house."
"Okay, let's go to your room and say." Mo Qiming accepted the words smoothly.
"Ah? That won't work, it will make people gossiping, just say it here, I'm listening." Ling Xueman shook his head immediately and brought it into the house. Does she want to die
"Long...Here, the wall has ears." Mo Qiming narrowed his smile, his expression becoming serious.
When Ling Xueman heard this, she shook her head faster, "Then you can't even say it in the house!"
"Long Man!" Mo Qiming lowered his face slightly.
"Hurry up, don't tell me I'm really gone!" Ling Xueman darkened his face, and when he heard that, he was about to say that he liked her again, let the dead man know, she was not far from the date of death!
Mo Qiming pursed his lips and stared at Ling Xueman a little angrily. Ling Xueman just pretended not to see it, and looked around in confusion, looking for the shadow of Granny Mei.
"Manman, if the emperor really wants to accept you as his concubine, are you willing?" Mo Qiming opened his mouth and asked softly.
"Huh? Why do you say that?" Ling Xueman twitched the corner of her mouth, and asked rhetorically.
Mo Qiming stood up, looked around for a few times, then met her eyes, and said softly: "Didn’t the emperor take you to the Fragrant Altar Residence yesterday? Such an obvious performance... Long, I only ask you, you Do you want to marry him? Do you want to stay in this deep palace all your life?"
Ling Xueman was startled, lowered his head, stopped for a while, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I don't know."
"Man, you say that, you just don't want to be the emperor's concubine, right?" Mo Qiming suddenly said something eagerly, and squatted down again, supporting Ling Xueman's shoulder with one hand. Only the two of them could hear the low voice. , "Long long, the life of Shen Gong Suoyu is not suitable for you, as long as you are willing, I will take you away, okay?"
"Go? Where to go?" Ling Xueman asked blankly in surprise.
A smile appeared on Mo Qiming's face, and there was a lot of fascination in his eyes, "Where you want to go, I will take you there. Twenty miles from the capital, there is an unknown mountain, and below the valley, there is a secluded spring. , It’s very beautiful there, with the fragrance of birds and flowers, quiet and tranquil, the clear stream is full of fragrant petals, all year round, warm as spring, long, do you want to see?"
"Wuming Mountain? Youquan?" Ling Xueman muttered and chewed, and couldn't help depicting the natural picture scroll in his mind. If you can go out and have a look, it would be good, but, "Three princes, you still have family members, you have wives and Son, how can you take me away? Are you going to leave them behind? The emperor won't agree!"
"Manman, you don't need to worry about these things, you just tell me, would you like to be with me, or leave this place?" Mo Qiming frowned and asked with a slightly anxious expression.
"I don't want to!" Ling Xueman shook his head firmly, thought for a while, and said: "Three princes, I know you like me, but I said earlier that I only have family affection for you, only friendship, and I will not accept your feelings. unacceptable."
"Why? Tell me why you can’t accept it? You still like the man in your heart, don’t you? Does he care about you? There is another woman next to him, and he doesn’t want you. Why do you want to guard him? I can do If you abandon your wife and son, you can abandon your splendor and wealth, what about him? What can he do!"
Mo Qiming was agitated, and grasped Ling Xueman's hand out of control, with a cold and terrifying expression, "Ling Xueman, that man is not worthy of you at all, he is not worthy, not worthy of you to guard him like a jade! You don't want to go, just want to. Did you watch him put on a wedding dress for other women?"
"You...you let me go!" Ling Xueman's body shook, and in shock, she hurriedly threw off Mo Qiming's hand, got up in a panic, and eagerly argued: "He is not as bad as you said! He! He has difficulties, not because he doesn’t want me, but because I don’t want to marry him!"
"What is his problem? He is a hypocrite who is greedy for glory and wealth! Does he really love you? If he really loves you, he won't let you stay in the palace and be wronged! Where is he when you suffer and suffer humiliation again and again? Do you dare to protect you upright?" Mo Qiming was so angry that he tried his best to endure it, gritted his teeth and rebuked.
"My business, don't take care of you! No matter what, it is between me and him, it has nothing to do with you!" Ling Xueman paled, shaking her lips, not knowing whether she was angry or wronged, her nose was sour, and the tears could not stop. The one who lives down, step by step back, murmured: "I just love him, that's love, don't care about it, don't care about it!"
Yuluo, turned around, and ran towards the house quickly. Granny Meihua quickly leaned out behind the pillar and held Ling Xueman, forcing her to stop and rush, and walk back slowly.
Mo Qiming stared at the disappearing back, his chest was violently ups and downs, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his eyes were like a knife cut, standing silent for a long time, and he flicked his sleeves and left.
