Thin Mei·Love Fragrance Quilt

Chapter 188

Zhuo Rui suddenly thought of the last few words they said during the day, which he half-understood, and exclaimed: "What? What formed a fetus?"

But Qianmei laughed, "Brother Zhuo, you are really stupid when you are stupid!"

She took his hand, but let him caress her belly.

It was severe winter, she was always slender, and she was wearing thick and loose cotton padded clothes, so there was no obvious change, but at this moment when Zhuo Rui carefully caressed her obviously swollen abdomen, she was extremely horrified.

He lost his voice: "You...are you pregnant with a dragon fetus?"

But Qianmei blushed when she heard the word "dragon fetus", she threw off his hand suddenly, and said angrily, "What kind of dragon fetus is not a dragon fetus? My child has nothing to do with him!"

Zhuo Rui couldn't make a sound, his face was very embarrassed, but he still looked at her in surprise.

But Qianmei felt that she reacted too much, and she was also frustrated. She touched her lower abdomen and said sullenly: "I used to be so obsessed with him, I really wanted to give him a child, but I didn't get pregnant; later I wanted to kill him , wanting to destroy his world, Xu and Wei snake reconciled with him, who knew he was pregnant. It was about August, right? There was a doctor's diagnosis when he fell into the water, but he didn't diagnose this at that time. I thought I escaped by luck Oh, who knew... Later, my belly got bigger day by day..."

Only then did Zhuo Rui realize that Ke Qianmei's loss of appetite in the first two months of entering the cold palace turned out to be due to nausea.It's ridiculous that the Empress Dowager Xuan was so focused on preventing her from harming her son that she refused to even send an imperial doctor, and almost killed her long-awaited dragon fetus.

But Qian Mei would rather be put to death than mention it, obviously she doesn't want this unexpected baby anymore.

Zhuo Rui murmured: "Since... Now that you are pregnant, it is God's will, right? How about... just give birth to him. If you don't want to give it to the emperor, we can quietly raise him here."

Ke Qianmei said angrily: "Why did I give birth to him? Why did I face his child every day? Do you know... Do you know that if I face his child every day, I will definitely think of him every day... "

Her voice became hoarse, and tears rolled down her long eyelashes suddenly.

She lowered her head hurriedly, wiped her tears hastily, but sobbed: "I don't want to think about him anymore! I don't want to think about those shitty things about his family and our family anymore! I have done everything I should do, I shouldn't I did what I did, why do I have to suffer like that! Zhuo Rui, you know, that feeling is worse than death! It’s worse than death!"

She buried her head, trying hard to swallow and refused to let herself cry, but the painful and broken choke that was suppressed was actually more sad than ordinary crying, and it was more heart-wrenching.

He hugged her tightly, wishing to rub her into his body and give her all the protection he could give her; he patted her back nervously and comforted her in a panic: "it's okay, it's okay, Qian'er, if you really I don't like it... It's okay to destroy it. I... I will always be by your side."

He caressed her trembling head in tears, lowered his head, and kissed her cool forehead.

After speaking and doing, he realized what he had said and what he had done.

He supported her in destroying the dragon fetus of Emperor Da Zhou, and he kissed Emperor Da Zhou's beloved woman.

But so what?
He is no longer qualified to be any woman's husband, but this does not prevent him from being crazy about a certain woman.

He has known Ke Qianmei longer than Tang Tianxiao has known her.

He couldn't tell when he changed from the initial simple appreciation and love to the love and pity that was gradually engraved in his heart.

Maybe Beihe Grassland's heart fluttered when she first saw a bright woman galloping past. Maybe she found out that the husband she loves is an enemy she can't love before she started worrying about her. Maybe it's since she remembered the truth. At the moment when he broke down and cried bitterly in his arms, he suddenly saw his heart clearly.

But, is all of this fair to Tang Tianxiao, who also loves her with all his heart, and the Great Zhou Emperor who has served him loyally for so many years?

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The matter was thus settled.

However, Qian Mei's ability to become a monk is the second priority. The most important thing now is to kill the fetus as soon as possible before it grows up.

Because it has been more than four months, abortion is more dangerous than usual when two or three months old, and it took a lot of trouble for Heng Yi to prepare the medicine. Not only did he need to prepare the milder abortion medicine, but he also needed to prepare the conditioning medicine after the abortion. In order to avoid being caught off guard due to being in the deep mountains when an abnormal situation occurs.

But at this time, the situation was very chaotic and there was a shortage of all kinds of medicinal materials, so Heng Yi went out of the mountain several times and visited many medicine shops, and it took five or six days to barely get all the medicinal materials.

One day, Zhuo Rui was cleaning a slaughtered roe deer by the stream, preparing to make soup for dinner; but Qian Mei dug a Chinese cabbage in the field outside the yard, and was peeling the withered leaves.

The sun is just right, and the man's desolate and passionate singing voice comes from the pine forest: "Jinyan is red, Luomu is green, and the golden silk tent is warm and the beautiful scenery is not in vain. Sitting in the world, why do you think there are many beauties and jewels? Sigh, rise and fall is a dream, where does impermanence come to you?" Hide, you can't escape to see Yama..."

Ke Qianmei smiled at Zhuo Rui: "Our old Taoist is back!"

Zhuo Rui put the washed roe deer meat into the bamboo basket, and said with a smile: "It's just in time to come back, let him go to the stove and blanch the roe deer meat first, so I can go to his house and change the window paper. It's almost Chinese New Year , at least try to make it bright and fresh.”

But Qianmei made a grimace, "I coaxed him to say that I would help him make a new robe a few years ago, but it seems that it's too late! After the next year, you go hunt more game for money, and I'll make him a good one."

When Zhuo Rui agreed, Heng Yi had already walked out of the pine forest, took two packs of medicine in his hands, walked back all the way unsteadily, and continued to sing along the way: "I heard that Jiangnan is good, the wild water is as clear as the sky, and there are white gulls in it." Me. Not as good as a glass of wine to express innocence, Yusheng blows the old house to watch the peach blossoms fall..."

"Whoosh-"

The sharp sound of sharp objects breaking through the air suddenly came, Zhuo Rui suddenly changed color, and shouted: "Be careful!"

But when Qianmei hurriedly stood up, she saw a black shadow passing by in front of her eyes, Heng Yi snorted, and she fell to the ground, the medicine bag in her hand was scattered, and the fine medicinal materials fell everywhere.

The bitterness of medicinal herbs and the smell of fresh blood permeated the dry and cold winter air instantly.

"Master!"

But Qian Mei screamed, and the round Chinese cabbage fell to the ground, and she rushed over.

The long feathered arrow, sharp and sharp, pierced Heng Yi coldly through his chest.

But when Qianmei picked him up, Heng Yi was panting with his eyes wide open, and the blood in his mouth and chest was rushing faster and faster with his rapid breathing.

"Master!"

But when Qian Mei called out, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the dark arrow, Zhuo Rui was also flying over to check, but only saw the dense forest, where was there any figure?

"Qian'er...I...I still can't help you!"

Heng Yi called out with difficulty, staring at Ke Qianmei with lost eyesight, "Back then, your mother refused to listen to my advice and insisted on marrying General Zhang. Your father...he is indeed better than me in everything, Stronger than...anyone. But he is the reincarnation of Tiansha, destined...to punish his wife and daughter!"

But Qianmei had been with him for so many days, and it was the first time she heard him mention her parents. It was still in such a situation, and she didn't want to listen, so she just followed his tone blankly and said, "My father? Punish his wife and daughter?"

Heng Yi began to twist in pain, but there were big teardrops falling from his eyes.He said with difficulty: "He... tortured his wife and daughter... but I don't want your mother to die early. I... went against the sky, taking advantage of Emperor Wu of Zhou being injured by General Zhang and when the dragon spirit in the north was unstable, I did it Steal the Qi of the Son of Heaven to suppress General Zhang's evil spirit. Your mother was able to prolong her life for ten years when the evil spirit was suppressed, but General Zhang was trapped in Jinzhou for ten years and could not be promoted. Back then... I was young and vigorous, relying on That little bit of mana was only in front of my eyes, and I didn't think about it... the more suppressed the evil spirit, the stronger the rebound. She... she died so badly... miserable..."

He yelled mournfully, with a long tail, but Qian Mei seemed to understand half of it. Seeing his staring eyes as if out of breath, she just cried, "Leave this alone...Zhuo Rui, Zhuo Rui, Hurry up... try to save him!"

Zhuo Rui didn't see the opponent in the dark, worried about Ke Qianmei, and hurried over, hearing the words, hurriedly helped Hengyi up, poured his internal energy into his body, but shook his head slightly to Ke Qianmei, but it was Tell her that Heng Yi's injury is too serious, and he can't recover at all.

With the help of internal strength, Hengyi coughed heavily, calmed down a little, and continued: "Qian'er, I...I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry...for your sister. She didn't have to die so badly, but you...Your fate You have a noble character, and you could have been a mother to the world, and gave birth to the supreme beings in the world. But... the aura of the emperor that I stole is in the same line as you, and it will... eventually destroy your horoscope. You will... be blessed and live forever!"

But Qianmei looked up at the desolate mountain shadow, the dilapidated wooden house, and the dying elder in her arms, and cried bitterly: "What kind of blessing, longevity, I haven't seen it, and I don't want it anymore. Old Taoist, what do you say? The ability is so high, why don't you take whatever blessings I have left, and prolong your life, okay?"

Heng shook his head, stroked her face with icy fingers, and said, "Silly boy, I just want to pay back your life...the baby in your womb has just conceived, and has already seen the air of the emperor. I wanted to... I want to do it again, forcibly borrowing the child's son-in-law to prolong the life of his mother...I am against the sky...again against the sky...the sky will not tolerate me!"

He looked at the sky and mourned, and said sadly: "Heaven, heaven, if there is a crime, it is my crime against the sky! I am willing to bear it all my life. Can you let it go... let it go..."

His hand pointed straight to the sky, paused for a while, then dropped heavily, and did not move anymore.

And his eyes were still wide open, reflecting the vast sky and mountains.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Heng Yi was buried on a sunny slope by the creek, facing their courtyard far away.

Ke Qianmei stared at the simple tombstone made of wood, and slowly threw each piece of scriptures and pieces of magic instruments collected by Hengyi into the fire. After leaving the palace, her eyes that gradually became clear began to dim again, turning black afraid of people.

She said in a low voice: "Old Taoist, you are very capable, so I won't burn paper money to you. I will burn your scriptures and magic tools to you, and you can save yourself! My life is very hard, so I don't need you." Worry about it, let alone atone for your sins in every life. If I can meet you again in the next life, I will make you a good Taoist robe."

Zhuo Rui poured water and wine in front of the grave, and after the silent sacrifice, he said in a low voice: "Qian'er, go back to the house first! It's windy here, be careful!"

But Qianmei stood up, but didn't walk towards the wooden house.

Facing the bone-piercing cold wind, her black hair, which she had scrambled with a wooden hairpin, was scattered and messy; the gray and white cotton robe was rough and simple, wrapping her bulging body. Sloppy.

But when she stood with her back straight and cold, her snow-white face was frozen with jade, still shockingly beautiful.

She looked directly at Zhuo Rui and asked, "Brother Zhuo, who killed the Taoist priest?"

Zhuo Rui unconsciously shifted his eyes to other places, and said softly: "Who knows? When I chased it, it was already gone."

"is it?"

Ke Qianmei sneered, "This killer's skill is really high. He can come and go freely in this ancient formation, and he can kill people under the noses of our expert Zhuo Weiwei and leave smoothly!"

Zhuo Rui was silent.

But when Qianmei approached him, even though her stature only reached his chin, the gaze she stared at him seemed to be able to burn people's hearts.

She said slowly: "This place is hidden, apart from the three of us, only my Seventh Uncle and the others know about it. Brother Zhuo, if you say that it has nothing to do with you, I will believe you. I will go to Seventh Uncle and ask him why he wanted to kill Heng one."
