Beauty and Beauty: Adopted Daughter Becomes Concubine

Chapter 78
Third: Forcibly detain Mrs. Ji and Lian, the concubine of the new Northern Qi emperor Qi Beiyao, in Nanming. Envoys from the Qi State came to dignitaries twice, but were rejected by Murong Weichi, and the relationship between Nanming and Northern Qi deteriorated further.

Fourth: The officials of the Nanming court alternately adjusted to wipe out the remnants of the Xiao family. Murong Yuchi has been in power for more than ten years, and this is the second time to clean up the court. There is less blood for killing young people, and more is invisible giving Everyone in the court is powerful and oppressive.

At the end of that year, the most important event happened. Emperor Murong Yuchi suddenly became seriously ill, and he was exempted from the early court for several days in a row. There were many speculations about the cause of the incident and even talk about the succession of the throne.

The emperor who is about to stand in his thirties still has no heirs under his knees.

Only a few people around Dijun knew the details.

Princess Rui'an became insane after Lian Liyang's death, and was stabbed by her with a sharp knife during a visit from the emperor.

The emperor hadn't been to court for a long time, coupled with the vividness of these rumors, the news of Nanming emperor's serious injury spread rapidly like this.

"Ah!" For several nights in a row, Lian Yingtong was awakened by the nightmare, and she was forced to cry by the pain in her heart.

Murong Yuchi, she will always remember the situation when he was pushed off the cliff.

Murong Bixiao who was sleeping close to her on the small couch next to her got up quickly when she heard her cry.

"Where is it uncomfortable?" The tone was anxious.

"I'm fine, I'm just dreaming." She replied with a forced smile, stroking her forehead dripping with cold sweat.

"Go to sleep a little longer, it's still early." Murong Bixiao said with tenderness and concern in his eyes.

"Don't sleep anymore." She lifted the quilt and wanted to get down.

"You need to rest." He said as he pressed her hand to prevent her from moving, and gently pulled the quilt back on her high swollen belly. "Be obedient, for the sake of the child."

Lian Yingtong folded her hands to gently protect her lower abdomen, closed her eyes obediently, and heard her take a deep breath after a while, but Murong Bixiao didn't feel sleepy, he was leaning on the couch beside him, the faint candle flame trembling, he stretched out his hand Turn it up a little.She is afraid of the dark, even if she falls asleep, she must leave a little candle light.

Her eyes silently traced the shape of her cheeks, the charming and bright facial features lost their childishness, and became more attractive. Because of her pregnancy, the jaw that was originally small and pointed like an almond finally grew a little fleshy and became more rounded.

His eyes shifted to her protruding abdomen, she had suffered a lot in order to keep the child, and seeing that she was about to give birth, Murong Bixiao became faintly worried.

The sky was turning white, and he got up and went out lightly. As soon as he left, Lian Yingtong slowly opened her eyes. She couldn't sleep well these days. It was difficult for her to turn over because of her heavy pregnancy, especially the recent nightmares. .

He could hear a slight sound outside the house, and when he got up at this time every day, he would cook porridge for her and cook three meals a day. She vomited whatever she ate in the first few months, and finally her legs became weak and weak even when she walked.

Xuanzhi took the trouble to make things in different ways, fed her food and water, and took care of her patiently all the time. Without his help, even Yingtong might not be able to cope with herself, let alone the baby in her belly.

Through her belly, she recently felt that the baby moved more vigorously than before. Her child must be very lively in the future. Every time she thinks of this, Lian Yingtong is very happy.

Hitomi, give me a baby.

The familiar voice sounded in my ear again, no matter how much I avoided it, I couldn't escape the longing that entangled my heart.

Lian Yingtong's eyes were sour, her face was buried in her palms, hot tears spilled from between her fingers.

Brother Ah Lin, I miss you so much, miss you so much...

But there is no way, no matter how much I miss you, I can only choose to leave.

Murong Xuanzhi opened the door and came in. Seeing this, he put down his things and walked over, helped her to sit up, "Do you regret it?"

"No." Lian Yingtong answered in tears, wiped away her tears, and stared at Murong Bixiao with unusually clear eyes. "Xuanzhi, I am very grateful that you agreed to help me back then. I have hurt you so deeply many times. My request is capricious. I'm sorry."

"You're not sorry for me, you just don't love me. Just like I have no way not to love you, so I'm willing to do this for you, just for you!"

She asked Xiaohan to secretly contact him to explain the critical situation, and begged him to help Murong Yuchi and his party to return to Nanming smoothly. At first he deliberately offered her to leave Murong Yuchi in exchange, she stayed for a while, gritted her teeth and agreed.

She even managed to lure Murong Yuchi to Yunya Mountain to complete the last step of the planned plan in order to make Qin Wei relax his vigilance. She suffered from cold and sickness in the icy and snowy place, and her cold constitution deliberately refused to take medicine to make her condition worse.

She had a high fever and her body was so painful that she couldn't speak, but she endured to the end for Murong Yuchi to leave safely.

With one arrow piercing her heart, she completely convinced Qin Wei that she really hated Murong Yuchi, and she did this to avenge Lian Liyang. This carefully arranged scene, as well as the lives of Murong Yuchi and his party, almost exhausted her entire life. Hard work, Lian Yingtong fought for the opportunity with her life!
"I have no way of reciprocating."

"Even if there is a way for you to repay me, such as loving me and never leaving me?" He smiled teasingly, not like the usual coldness, sighed, he stared at her tear-stained face and continued, "Forget it, just kidding, If you really agree, I am willing to die."

Tone, expression, the curvature of the mouth when smiling...

For a moment, Lian Yingtong couldn't help but think of Murong Yuchi and his little uncle Murong Huaixiu. Their brothers are handsome and extraordinary, but they seldom make people feel alike. Only when they smile like this, they give people a surprisingly similar feeling.

"You're not allowed to mention death again, damn it!" She frowned and stared at him forcefully, but her nose was unbearably sore.

Murong Bixiao reached out to touch the red mark between her eyebrows, "Don't frown, I'm not good, I'm scaring you and the baby."

"It's good that you know." She wasn't scared, but the wound in her heart that had healed up suddenly started to hurt again in the past few days, and her heart beat too fast, making her feel uncomfortable.

"Come on, I made your favorite food." Murong Bixiao didn't pay attention to her strangeness, and helped her bulky body to the table and sat down, taking care of her meticulously.

"Tongtong, I have to go out for a while and come back as soon as possible." Murong Bixiao said simply, but stared at her swollen belly with uneasy eyes.

She suffered a series of traumas to her body, and when she found out she was pregnant, she almost couldn't keep the baby. She used a tactic to protect the baby. Others were pregnant for ten months, and the baby in her womb stayed peacefully until twelve months before moving.

He was worried about Tongtong's health, so he hired a ginseng picker with a lot of money to find a ginseng.

He was extra careful in preparing these, Murong Yuchi never gave up on finding Tongtong's whereabouts.

As long as Tongtong's safety is concerned, no one can touch her, not even his adoptive father who has raised him for more than ten years.

"Be careful on your own way, come back early." She sent him out, Murong Bixiao walked out of the yard and looked back.

She was only 17 years old, she was still the little girl in his memory, she was about to become a mother in a blink of an eye, she waved and smiled at him, her smile was sweet and warm, Murong Bixiao was startled.

In the eyes of others, they are like an ordinary couple. She sent him out and waited for him to return home before nightfall. He knew that he had wishful thinking about Tongtong, but this warmth and tranquility made Murong Bixiao deeply attached to her.

I wish I could keep him attached for a little longer.

In the distance, Murong Yuansheng watched the whole scene with cold eyes, then turned to look at the tall and tall man beside him.

The smile on the corners of his lips was too shallow, and no emotion could be seen in his eyes as deep as the extreme night. Murong Yuansheng had gone through all the vicissitudes of life and read all the faces of everyone, and he couldn't figure out his true thoughts.

Bi Xiao is extremely talented and has been taught by him as the future prince of Nanming for more than ten years, but he is still inferior in front of this man who looks down on the world.

Some people are born kings who tower above all the people in the world, and their hearts are bound to be so cold that even if they love deeply, they will inevitably hurt each other to the ground.

In the morning light, she caressed her high and protruding abdomen, her expression was full of love, surprisingly warm and happy.She waved at the man to tell him something, their eyes met, and she smiled sweetly.

Murong Yuchi's heart, that heart full of holes and bloody waiting, felt pain like tearing flesh every time it beat in his chest.

He walked over step by step, the early winter morning sun was piercingly chilly, Murong Yuchi's eyes fell on the woman in the room who was facing away from him.

Such a familiar soft body, once curled up in his arms, relying on him for warmth.

He used to be tactful and happy under him, embracing and entangled with each other to enjoy the joy between men and women.

In an instant, the images of the past in Murong Yuchi's mind surged up like a tidal wave.

The sweet lips were unbelievably soft, and the soft and waxy voice touched his heart and touched his whole body of senses.

I love you.

At that time, she blushed, bit her lip and stared at him with clear eyes, speaking softly.

He has been waiting for these three words for more than ten years.

Murong Yuchi never blamed her for pushing him off the cliff, she said she would protect him, and he knew that it was Tongtong's all-out effort to escape the danger for him.

She was his darling, his life, he was angry that she left him and left with Murong Bixiao, without giving any reason, she disappeared from his life on her own initiative.

He spared no effort to find her, from the initial anger to the great joy of knowing her hiding place, but in the end he saw that she and Murong Bixiao were like a couple.

She was pregnant, looking happy and sweet. According to the days, there was no possibility that this child would be his.

At first, the person Tongtong liked in his heart was Murong Bixiao, and he was also jealous and angry because of the strong and intimate relationship between the two.

She said she loved him, and Murong Yuchi firmly believed it, but with everything he saw before him, he couldn't find a single reason to firmly believe that her love for him still existed.

Hatred, jealousy, inexplicable anger, past events, all kinds of entanglements, Murong Yuchi heard his own voice.

Tongtong, I would rather destroy you than allow you to have half of him in your heart!

Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around with a smile and said, "Did you forget to bring anything?" The words trembled on her lips, and a tall and tall figure came in from outside, forming a huge shadow to envelop her.

Breathing hard, her long eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, the tears that appeared in her eye sockets quickly blurred her vision, she covered her lips and stared blankly at the person in front of her, tears fell uncontrollably, and she saw that figure slowly approaching in the dim eyes of tears .

"Hitomi."

In a trance, she heard his voice coming from above her head. Was it a dream?But why is it more real than in the dream?Just two simple words, hearing him say it, her heart trembled violently.

She missed him, missed him so much, missed him like crazy, even Yingtong couldn't help reaching out to touch the warmth she was familiar with, she was already very satisfied in her heart.

Letting go of his hand bit by bit, Murong Yuchi's eyes sank and he leaned over to embrace her, his thin lips brushed against her face, and then wrapped his lips around her reddish earlobe, "What else do you want to hide from?" when?"

"I……"

"See you forever?" He hummed softly.

She bit her lip and was silent instead.

"So that's how it is." Murong Yuchi let go of his arms and put his hands on her shoulders. "If you don't come to find you, you have already decided not to see each other again, right? Stay with Murong Bixiao and live in seclusion in the mountains, just like you once said However, a husband who loves me, a house away from the world, and..." He paused.

There is also a child, the above is the simple happiness she wants, he couldn't give it to her before, but now he can give it to her, but she...

Lian Yingtong noticed that Murong Yuchi was staring at her swollen belly, his eyes made her flustered, he hated being deceived the most, she had no choice but to conceal and lie to him in order to protect him from danger, but the child in her belly was something she never expected.

"It's not the reason you said that I avoided you for so long!"

"What's the reason?" Murong Yuchi asked.

Lian Yingtong shook her head, bit her lips and begged softly, "Don't ask, okay?" She was sorry for Murong Yuchi, and she couldn't explain the reason.

Murong Yuchi didn't continue to ask, these reasons could no longer resist the shock of her pregnancy for him, his shock and anger roared in his heart but he tried his best to contain it.

She concealed too many things from him, without explaining why.

Murong Yuchi's attitude was tough, and she was not allowed to hesitate any longer.

"Back to Nanming."

Lian Yingtong was startled, and subconsciously refused, "No, I..."

"No? Stay here and wait for Murong Bixiao to come back before taking you and the little wild species away?" He looked at her with dark eyes, which turned cold in an instant.

Paleness quickly ran over Lian Yingtong's small and delicate face, his words were cold and hurtful, he said that the child in her belly was a little wild species?Clutching her belly, she shook her head noncommittally and stepped back, shaking off his extended arm once again.

"This is your child!" Hot tears poured down from her wide and beautiful eyes, and she pinched her palm with her fingertips so hard that there were deep moon-white finger marks.

"Mine?" He trembled violently in his heart.

His doubts completely hurt her, and the disbelief in his eyes was like a sharp knife cutting her flesh and blood, stabbing her heart.

Murong Weichi took a few steps forward and grabbed her who was avoiding him, facing her hurt eyes, his surprise when he first heard her say that the child was him has gradually calmed down.

"Go back with me!"

"You don't believe my words, you don't believe that the child is yours, why should I go back with you!" Lian Yingtong shook her head with tears in her eyes.

Murong Yuchi snorted coldly, "I can't help you!"

Yes, it can no longer be decided by her, the years of parting, every day for him is like torment, he thinks about the day when he will meet again more than once.

But he had been looking forward to the meeting for a long time, but what he saw was the warmth between her and Murong Bixiao.

"I don't allow anyone to slander my child!"

"Slander?"

"Yes!" She is about to become a mother, and she has a protective nature for the child in her womb. She cherishes her baby very much, and her blood is connected with the little life she conceived. No one can hurt her child. "You don't believe me, you doubt this child. Let me tell you, there is nothing wrong between me and Xuanzhi, and I haven't sorry for you!" She raised her head to hold back the tears of grievance, and said firmly to him.

Murong Yuchi came silently, leaned over and hugged her who was on guard all over.

"Let me down, I don't want to go back with you! You bastard, you don't believe me, let go!" She beat his shoulders and chest with her small fist.

Murong Yuchi avoided her swollen belly and hugged Lian Yingtong tightly. She was weak and worried about the baby in her belly, so she didn't make a fuss for too long before stopping.

When she carried her out of the house and walked towards the carriage that had already been prepared, she turned around and exclaimed loudly.

Just like the fate of the Lian family's old house back then, Murong Yuchi ordered people to set fire to the house where she lived with Xuan Zhi for a year.

Carry her into the carriage and put her on the soft wool pad, "Go back to the palace."

She clutched his skirt and trembled helplessly, his expressionless eyes were deep and calm, showing no emotion.

All of a sudden, his palms were on her belly, and the child in her belly moved as if she had sensed it, and she felt it very clearly.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

It's a pity that she didn't get any answer from Murong Yuchi.
