Chang Anqing

Chapter 159
When Li Sui managed to calm Empress Yang's ups and downs, she heard the voice of Taiwei's wife, Mrs. Li, rushing over.

"Little Yu—"

Empress Yang, who was originally exhausted and weak, was leaning on Li Sui's shoulder and weeping faintly. At this moment, she heard Li Shi's urgent and anxious voice, her body shook slightly, and the next moment, Li Shi personally opened the soft curtain and entered the room .

Before the words could be uttered, the tears of the mother and daughter could no longer be held back. Seeing Fang's difficult childbirth, the eldest daughter had to endure the pain of leaving her parent and child, Li's teary eyes were full of distress, but she didn't know how to comfort her. , to speak.

"Auntie—"

Hearing that her daughter, who has always been stable and dignified since she got married, uttered these two words with sobs at this moment, Mrs. Li immediately stepped forward, and sitting on the side of the couch, she stretched out her gentle hands to wrap Queen Yang into her arms, holding the Sipa's hand comforted Empress Yang's trembling back bit by bit, trying to restrain her pain, and said over and over again: "It's good that you are safe, it is good that you are safe."

Realizing that her daughter, who has always been strong, seemed to have her heart broken at this moment, she cried on her shoulder and couldn't help herself. Li Shi's loving mother's heart was also throbbing. body, but when the comforting words came to his lips, he felt that everything seemed pale and powerless.

"The child will have it. You and His Majesty are both young, and the child will definitely have it."

In the end, Li could only turn her choking into prayers again and again. She knew how much pressure and responsibility the eldest daughter in her arms had been carrying all these years, and how she looked forward to this child.

Perhaps it is like today, not caring about the demeanor of the mother's world, throwing away the shackles of identity, and crying heartily, which is also a way to let go of everything.

Therefore, Li Shi didn't go on talking, and felt the endless sadness and pain of the person in her arms, which made her unable to bear it any longer, and her heart broke from crying.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Li Sui lowered her head silently, and wiped away the tears with her hands. She knew that there were still too many waiting for her.

Just like the departure of Yang Yan in her previous life, she will not be left with too much time to grieve.

The next moment, Li Sui and Qing Zhi silently met their eyes, then slowly got up and left the alone time in the room to Li Shi and Queen Yang in front of them, and walked out alone with Qing Zhi.

When Li Sui walked step by step to the soft curtain at the back of the hall, the moment the maid opened the soft curtain, the cold wind swept in with heavy snow, almost filling her sight.

Because she didn't have a hand stove, Li Sui felt the wind and snow pouring in through the cloak bit by bit, almost soaking her bones in the cold, but she still went down the steps step by step, heading towards the wind and snow.

"Princess, this servant will bring out the stove for you."

Qingzhi, who was making a sound, saw Li Sui shaking his head silently, so she didn't say anything more, but tried her best to hold an umbrella to cover Li Sui.

"Just now you cut the pulse, how is sister now?"

Hearing Li Sui's question, Qingzhi said seriously: "Don't worry, Princess, today's childbirth is dangerous, but because His Highness originally had a good background, and was nursed by slaves before, she was even stronger than ordinary pregnant women, so she never gave birth. It hurts the root, and if you give birth to a child in the future, it will be—”

Noticing that when the person in front of her heard her last sentence, her eyes looking straight ahead gradually became cold and ruthless, Qingzhi knew that she had said something wrong, and immediately changed her words: "From now on, you only need to warm up daily."

Hearing Qingzhi's change of mouth, Li Sui nodded, and the two of them had unknowingly walked to the long corridor outside the Lizheng Hall.

Thinking of Qingzhi's words just now, Li Sui felt even more ironic, and the coldness in his eyes was like snowflakes in front of him, accumulating layer after layer.

No matter how good my elder sister is, and no matter how many children she conceives for Emperor Yuan Cheng, so what?
Let the next child continue to bear such a fate that the father fears and the grandfather does not like?Or is it to let sister experience the pain of life and death again and again?
Thinking that the elder sister who is now in the sea of ​​suffering still does not know that there are other people who are the instigators in front of her, and even after knowing her father's blow today, she may even regard the husband Emperor Yuan Cheng as the one who really protects her from the wind and rain, and the more she falls into the trap. The deeper it is, the more painful it will be when you know the truth in the future.Li Sui felt that his heart was suffocating, full of unsolvable pain.

"The truth cannot be concealed for a lifetime."

The moment the voice fell, Li Sui stopped calmly, looking at the end of the corridor, his gaze fell on Qing Zhi as if nothing had happened.

Qingzhi naturally understood the meaning of Li Sui's words, and finally said in the silence: "His Royal Highness is giving birth now, and it is time to rest and recuperate, but she is facing the pain of separation of mother and child, and just now I know—"

Qingzhi paused at this point, and then said in a lower voice: "It has already caused intense pain and anxiety in the mind, but fortunately, His Highness is in good health, as the servant girl said, there are still princesses who are waiting for delivery. She intends to channel her emotions and make His Highness happy, so there have been no accidents yet, but if there is another blow or something that can shake His Highness's mood, how His Highness will react, even the slaves dare not draw conclusions lightly. "

Having said that, Qingzhi looked up at Li Sui and said, "The month of Your Highness's cultivation is a critical period, and it may not be too late to wait until two or three months later."

Hearing Qing Zhi's cautious words, Li Sui clenched his hands tightly, but it was cold.

She knew that what Qingzhi said at this moment was based on what Queen Yang's body could bear, and it was also the safest.

Finally, Li Sui raised his head, calmly, his tone was full of bitterness and sighs.

"In these days, please be more considerate and carefully guide Jiamo and the others to take care of my sister and help her get through this difficult time."

Looking at the girl in front of her who continued to walk aimlessly forward in silence, her fiery red and tall figure looked lonely in the white snow.

If it is said that in the present situation, the only one who can constrain the princess, and make the princess unable to let go, is Her Royal Highness the Queen.

……

As Li Sui expected, the emperor, who was originally immersed in winter hunting, immediately announced his return to Chang'an without hesitation after learning about the change in Chang'an. Regardless of the obstruction of the courtiers and relatives, he led hundreds of relatives alone on horseback, and drove back to Chang'an for five days and five nights.

In the twilight, the soldiers guarding the gate heard the hurried and vigorous sound of horseshoes fading away, as if there was a monstrous trend.

Just when they were about to stop them, they saw the exhausted yet honorable Son of Heaven in the long wind and snow, accompanied by King Yuling, galloping ahead on horseback.

"His Majesty returns to Luan, open the gate quickly!"

Hearing the general shouting loudly, the gatekeeper immediately opened the city gate and knelt down on one knee to greet him.

Almost at the moment they bent down, they felt a gust of wind whistling past, and when they raised their heads the next moment, only the back of the emperor was left.

After rushing to the Lizheng Hall, Emperor Yuan Cheng felt cowardice and fear for the first time looking at the warm lights.

"saint."

Hearing Chengde's reminder beside him, Emperor Yuan Cheng lowered his eyes, finally took off the armor on his head and handed it to Chengde, and walked in step by step.

As soon as he entered the palace, it was warm to the bone, but Yuan Chengdi felt that his heart was still cold.

After reaching the last soft curtain, the maid was about to speak out, but was interrupted by Emperor Yuan Cheng's gesture of silence.

"Sister, let's drink a little more—"

Hearing Li Sui's warm voice of consolation, Emperor Yuan Cheng personally opened the soft curtain and walked in. Just as he saw Li Sui sitting beside Empress Yang's bed and handing a steaming soup to Empress Yang's lips, Empress Yang struggled to swallow it. After the next bite, he shook his head wearily.

Realizing that Li Sui was suffering but did not dare to show the slightest bit, Yuan Chengdi saw Empress Yang's pale, almost transparent face with the slightest hint of blood on her face, her eyes looked at Li Sui weakly, and tried to smile, but it trembled like a gust of wind The hibiscus flowers on the branches are too weak to be real.

Almost at the same time that Emperor Yuan Cheng was taking steps, Empress Yang who was sitting on the bed bumped into those tired but lingering eyes, and at that moment, the tears also fell without restraint.

Seeing this, Li Sui turned his head and looked. Emperor Yuan Cheng's armor would not be changed in the future, and a few strands of hair were scattered in a bun. In the past, it was usually warm and moist as jade, but the pair of red eyes that were holding back the tears could not hide their exhaustion.

"Yu Niang, I'm sorry, I'm late."

The man's voice was hoarse and choked, the moment the words fell, Empress Yang closed her eyes silently, but the tears burst like a bank, and could not be stopped anymore.

Li Sui got up silently, and Emperor Yuan Cheng was already at the bedside.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Sui's heart was hard, and he even laughed at the so-called belated affection for Emperor Yuan Cheng, without being moved at all as a viewer.

Although she didn't want to, she knew that she had no choice but to quit.

At the moment when only Empress Yang and Emperor Yuan Cheng were left in the room, Emperor Yuan Cheng embraced his weak wife in front of him, and said in pain over and over again in her ear: "I'm sorry, Yu Niang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ,sorry……"

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's guilt-ridden apology, Empress Yang cried and shook her head. She knew that at the moment she lost her child, Emperor Yuan Cheng in front of her was also a father who had lost her child.

His pain is the same as hers.

"Shiro, it's me, I didn't protect our children well."

Hearing Empress Yang crying in her arms was heartbroken, but she also blamed herself for all the crimes.

Emperor Yuan Cheng no longer knew how to face her. At this moment, he only felt that he was a complete bastard in front of the kind Empress Yang, and he didn't even dare to ask for her forgiveness.

He didn't dare to think about the past, let alone the future. Only when he held her tightly in his arms could he feel that she was by his side and nothing had changed.

He is not lost yet.
