Thin Mei·Love Fragrance Quilt

Chapter 196

She was stunned, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the dark place, and when she looked carefully, the black figure had already stood outside the window, waving to the people inside the room through the open window.

Under the half-bright moonlight, Sister Yu's figure appeared at the window, silently waving goodbye to the man.

The black shadow walked towards the courtyard, covered its face with the veil, leaped up to the roof with light kung fu, and quickly disappeared into the night.

But on Ke Qianmei's back, a layer of sweat suddenly appeared.

The moment the man covered his face, she had already seen his face clearly.

It was actually Sifang, the confidant of Li Mingyuan, the king of faith, guarding Sifang!
Sister Yu watched Sifang leave, and suddenly raised her eyes to look this way. Although she couldn't see the look clearly, she was obviously suspicious of the half-opened window here.

After a while, she only heard a creak, and she opened the door and walked towards Ke Qianmei.

But Qianmei quickly ran back to the bed on tiptoe, and covered herself with a quilt.

After a while, Sister Yu came in quietly, looked at the bed, tucked the quilt for her, and then looked around carefully before walking to the window and closing the sash gently, still quietly backed out.

As soon as she left, Ke Qianmei opened her eyes, terrified and breathless.

Quartet!

What does this mean?
Sister Yu, Ah Chun, and even this Zhou's tavern are all related to Li Mingyuan?

From the beginning to the end, she never left Li Mingyuan's grasp?
In other words, never left Li Mingyuan's care?
Maybe he really didn't want to see her, maybe the war broke out and it was inconvenient for him to keep her, maybe he thought such a secluded life was more suitable for her, maybe there were other reasons...

He refused to accept her, but arranged for her future life.

No matter who wins or loses the war between him and Tang Tianxiao, she can live here in peace, without any worries.

And the three days when she lost her memory seemed to have an explanation.

Given her condition at the time, it was indeed impossible for her to recover almost after a night's rest without even calling for a doctor.Li Mingyuan must have sent someone out to look for her, and found her before she froze, and delayed the diagnosis and treatment of a famous doctor.

But he didn't seem to want Ke Qianmei to know that he was saving her, so he managed to keep her in a coma, and when her condition stabilized, she was sent to Zhou's tavern to wake her up.

Does he still protect her in his heart, still cherish her, and regard her as his dearest relative in this world?
But why didn't he tell her, why didn't he arrange all this clearly?

To teach her a lesson, not to let her know that he is no longer angry, or to let her be completely free, give birth to a child without any burden, and be a happy, carefree, ordinary little woman from now on?
But Qian Mei slowly sorted out her thoughts, and her mood gradually calmed down.

He didn't want her to know, so she pretended not to know!

He is her seventh uncle, the seventh uncle who raised her.

He will never hurt her.

What's more, dragging her body for eight or nine months, where can she go in such a raging war?

When the guests from the other side of the river came, the news of the battle situation might not be timely.But she knew that the entire Jiangnan was still in a confrontation between the two sides.

She had expected that after a brief adjustment, Tang Tianxiao would definitely concentrate his forces on a massive counterattack and recover those lost ground.

But the strange thing is that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were not in a hurry for success. Instead, they defended more and attacked less. It seemed that they were giving King Xin a chance to expand the territory he occupied and re-establish the prestige of Southern Chu.

It is said that in February, Jiaowang Zhuangyao even led troops to attack Ruidu City again, and attacked the city for several days one after another.The imperial court closed the city and guarded it. It was not until the beginning of March that Marquis Tang Tianqi of Cheng'an gathered troops and horses and the imperial guards of Ruidu to attack inside and outside, and finally the siege of the capital was resolved.

The only thing that was beneficial to Tang Tianxiao was that Zhuang Yao was seriously injured and died in this battle.

He was old and frail, and had experienced many hardships. He was injured again in this battle.

Another hero shrouded in horse leather, exactly the same ending as Ke Qianmei's father Zhang Chongyuan and Ning Qingwu's father Ning Bingyu.

Although the fate of the Zhang family is more unfortunate, the other two may not be so lucky.

The Zhuang family was ransacked by the last emperor of Southern Chu, and Zhuang Bilan was also alone, involved in the battle between Chu and Zhou against his heart; if Ning Qingwu had not become Tang Tianzhong's wife by fate, she might still be in the Great Zhou Palace now Li hides his name and waits for his sweetheart in pain and hopelessness as he grows older.

She could still hate Tang Tianxiao who ordered the killing of her parents and relatives, but who could they hate?
Perhaps, forgetting love and hate, and living an ordinary life is the best ending she can choose.

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

This night, Qian Mei stayed up all night; but the next day, she woke up as if nothing had happened, just as if she had never seen this night before.

As a result, her life continued peacefully day by day; her stomach also grew up day by day.

By the end of May, her legs and feet were already swollen due to pregnancy, but she was still energetic. Her thin and pointed melon-seeded face became round, and instead showed the plumpness of when she was not in the palace.

Because her belly was so big that she couldn't even see the stairs under her feet, Sister Yu didn't let her serve food and wait around, but only asked her to help read the ledger and clean the tables and chairs.But every night when I was about to close, I scrubbed the floors upstairs, but I still called her.

It is said that it was the doctor's order. Her pelvis is small and the fetal position is unstable. Doing these jobs that require bending is beneficial to the child's natural delivery.

Sister Yu treated her very attentively and invited the doctor to check her pulse every month.But she wondered when the doctor said that, why didn't she remember?
The doctor always said that the fetal phase was normal, but the mother was weaker and needed more care.After all, even the conditioning medicines were brewed in advance, and they were boiled for ten days, and they were said to be medicinal materials for cultivating and strengthening the body.

But since Sister Yu asked her to wipe the floor, she wiped the floor every day, but seeing that she was due to give birth in ten days and a half months, even if she knelt on the floor every time to wipe, she would feel more strenuous. It's all sweaty.

There were very few customers that night, and the upstairs was considered a private room, and there were no people there early, but Qianmei asked Ah Chun to fetch water, and began to scrub upstairs.

After wiping half of it with great difficulty, she was so tired that she felt slightly dizzy, she heard someone coming upstairs, she expected it to be either a clerk or a customer, and she thought she didn't need to greet her, so she didn't bother to turn around and check.

After a while, someone approached slowly and stopped in front of her.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she noticed a pair of men's shoes with a brocade surface and a black background with cloud patterns in front of her, so she panted and said in a low voice, "Guest officer, please move your feet."

The man didn't move, he was stuck in front of her like a nail.

A strange sense of familiarity suddenly emerged, accompanied by a certain desolation and desolation, sweeping her like a tide in an instant.

The sweat that had just been wiped off her forehead suddenly came up again, and there was a string of cold air on her back, but it was also accompanied by sweat.

She still didn't look up, but suddenly dropped the rag, straightened up in panic, grabbed her waist, and was about to flee.

The man refused to let her escape any more.

He grabbed her by the back, then clasped her arm, and said in a trembling voice, "What... what do you want?"

The voice was so familiar, as if they had never been separated, as if they had embraced each other last night, and engraved in their hearts the laughter of holding hands towards each other.

The voice was so sad again, as if after a few lifetimes of vicissitudes, as if praying countless times before the Buddha, it was only in exchange for such a call.

Out of my mouth, into your ears, into your heart.

But Qianmei's eyes were blurred.

He dragged her to him and held her shoulders, but she still didn't raise her head, her misty eyes couldn't even see the hem of his black clothes clearly.

Tang Tianxiao's eyes were also filled with tears, but he couldn't bear to move away from her.

He took off the silk handkerchief on her face, and caressed her face carefully, with unspeakable sadness and sorrow lingering in his gentle and pleasant voice: "Tell me yourself, what do you want me to do? What do you want me to do?" , so that you don't want to leave me and run far away?"

Ke Qianmei sobbed, "I didn't escape."

Tang Tianxiao nodded and said: "You didn't escape, you just left me far away and changed your name to Yumei? Tianxiao's 'Xiao' was cut in half, and Qianmei's 'Mei' was cut in half, and it became the current Yumei ? You still miss me, but you just want to become a monk, want to marry a man who has been castrated, or, want to give to a bartender?"

He had a trace of anger and grievance, but he tried his best to cover up the only trace of anger and grievance, not daring to show it.

But Qian Mei didn't answer, she lowered her head and looked at her toes, pursed her lips tightly, but tears fell down involuntarily. ——Actually, she couldn't see her own toes. When she lowered her head, she only saw her tall belly.

Tang Tianxiao saw her abdomen at a glance.He has been looking forward to Ke Qianmei giving birth to a child for him, but he has never been able to imagine what it would be like for such a lively girl with such a slender figure to actually be pregnant with his child.

He caressed her belly carefully, not daring to use the slightest bit of force, for fear of startling Jiao'er who was sleeping peacefully in her belly.

Separated by the mother's thin belly, it feels warm and hard to the touch.He could already feel the child's even and steady heartbeat.

He said dejectedly: "Is it about to go into labor? I'm pregnant for ten months, but...not a single day is by my side!"

But Qianmei sucked her nose, forced herself to stop her sobs, and said, "I live alone, it's very good. If you... If you really want to treat me well, don't blame me for messing up your world , let me take the child... let's live a good life here!"

"Take the children here and have a good time..." Tang Tianxiao was furious, "You mean, you want me, the son of Emperor Zhou, to stay here as a waiter?"

"What's the matter with the waiter? You are still the emperor, but don't you have a hard life? Being an emperor may not be as happy as being a waiter."

Her words were specious, which made Tang Tianxiao grit his teeth and asked, "Are you happy?"

"what?"

"Are you happy? You are unaccompanied, here alone, with a big belly wiping the floor, are you happier than being with me?" There was a deep pain in his brows and eyes, but he just held back, coaxing The ground said softly, "I will accompany you to play the piano and dance, I will accompany you to travel mountains and rivers, I will accompany you to hunt and play, and then watch the red sun jumping out of the sky on the top of the mountain... Aren't you happy?"

He lowered his eyes and asked her in a low voice: "Don't you even remember? We will grow together and grow old together..."

But Qian Mei couldn't help covering her ears, and shouted: "I don't remember! I don't know how we got together! I should have been planning day and night how to take your head, why did I marry you? Why did I marry you?" Will you be pregnant with your child?"

"Yes, you should take my head. But you are indeed my wife, and you are indeed pregnant with my child! And I... I just want to know, how can I let you get rid of this hatred? "

He took off the Longyin Sword from his waist, handed it to her, and said, "If you really want to take revenge, the sword is here, you take it, and I will stand here and let you stab, how about it?"

But Qian Mei touched the hilt of the sword, as if it was scalded, she hurriedly retracted her hand, clenched her fist and refused to take it.

When Tang Tianxiao sent it to her hand again, her hand was hidden behind her back suddenly, but she was already crying, and said, "You know I can't do it, and you still come to force me!"

If she really wanted to take his life, she would do it every chance she had in the palace, and she wouldn't just want to die together, and would rather wrap herself to death under the lotus.
