367 The Story
Qifeng Palace
Sang Qing walked into the inner hall with heavy steps, carrying the freshly brewed medicine. There was a whole bowl in the big blue and white porcelain bowl. The rising steam almost burned her eyes. Sang Qing couldn't help but stop.
He took a deep breath and put on his usual smile.
When Xing Youyou saw her coming in, he put down the pattern in his hand, waved to Sang Qing and said, "Come over quickly and take a look at it for me. That pattern looks good."
Sang Qing approached and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"You also know that I'm not good at needlework, but I always want to do something for him. I don't plan to make a little bellyband, and it doesn't take much effort. It's just a mother-in-law of mine." Xing Youyou said this.
When she did, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowed.
Sang Qing trembled almost uncontrollably when he heard this, and then heard Xing Youyou say: "Bring the medicine over here. I'll drink the medicine first, and then we can slowly choose."
Sang Qing paused for a moment and then handed it over. Xing Youyou's eyebrows were smiling and she was completely unaware.
The taste of the soup was not pleasant. Xing Youyou frowned slightly and murmured to himself, "Baby, you have to take good care of yourself. Mom has taken a lot of bitter medicine for you." After a moment of pause, he said like
It was only after mental preparation that I brought the medicine bowl to my mouth.
"Wait a minute." Sang Qing regretted her words as soon as she spoke them. Seeing her mother-in-law looking at her doubtfully, she explained, "Madam, this medicine is still hot. Let it cool down before you can take it."
"What else am I talking about? It's not like you would do something so sudden." Xing Youyou complained slightly, but followed Sang Qing's words and put the medicine stick aside on the low table.
.
Sang Qing knew that he had been in a dilemma since he accepted the emperor's order. If it had been anyone else, the empress would have discovered something was wrong with her intelligence, but the empress did not have any doubts about her.
My chest felt like a heavy stone was pressing down on me, and my eyes couldn't help but drift towards the medicine bowl.
This bowl of medicine was brewed by her own hands. Once the empress drinks it, the little prince in her belly will not be saved three hours later. As the person closest to Xing Youyou, she knows very well that if she tells the empress the truth, she will not choose to die.
She was pregnant, but she didn't want to take any chances that were less than one level.
When Shangguan Hao came in, there was only an empty bowl left on the table at his head. He was confused for a moment. Did he drink it? He is indeed the most cruel person in the world. Even his own children
None.
"Your Majesty." Xing Youyou saw Shangguan Hao standing by the door like a sculpture, with deep sadness flashing in his usually cold eyes. She was curious, as Shangguan Hao had never had such an expression before.
Shangguan Hao closed his eyes, suppressed the heavy guilt in his heart, and walked to Xing Youyou's side with empty steps.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Xing Youyou didn't get an answer from Shangguan Hao, but her body suddenly tightened. The tall man opened his arms and hugged her. His face was buried in her shoulder. She couldn't see it at all.
to his expression.
Xing Youyou didn't know what happened to Shangguan Hao, which made him who never bend down show his weakness.
When this arrogant man put down his arrogance, Xing Youyou suddenly felt a little distressed. She couldn't help but relax her body, and her palms hesitated for a moment and slowly touched the broad back.
There seemed to be some moisture on the shoulders. Xing Youyou's eyes widened in disbelief. He actually cried.
In Xing Youyou's heart, Shangguan Hao has always been cold and strong. Especially after he ascended the throne, he became more decisive and as hard as iron. She never thought that one day he would cry on her shoulder and kill him.
All her weaknesses were displayed in front of her.
Xing Youyou was at a loss. She didn't know what she should do at this moment. She didn't even know why he was crying.
After a long time, Shangguan Hao let her go. If his eyes weren't slightly red, Xing Youyou would have thought that everything just now was an illusion.
"Even if you don't have children, you are still the master of Qifeng Palace and will always be the queen of the Great Xia Dynasty." The hoarse male voice made Xing Youyou's face full of astonishment.
Sang Qing, who was on the side, suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this servant is useless. I can't do this." At the last moment, Sang Qing finally replaced the bowl of "special" medicine, but he didn't want to do that.
The empty bowl that was too late to collect caused the emperor to misunderstand.
Shangguan Hao turned around fiercely, his expression darkening.
Sang Qing did not dare to look at the emperor's expression, but kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Xing Youyou was stunned for a while, then her expression suddenly changed. She suddenly pushed Shangguan Hao away hard and covered her belly with one hand, like an angry lioness: "What are you going to do? What are you going to do? This is yours.
Child, how can you be so cruel?"
There is also an explanation for Sang Qing's unusualness. Xing Youyou never thought that Shangguan Hao didn't want the child in her belly. The child she had been waiting for so long, he actually teamed up with Sang Qing, whom she trusted most, to try to get the child without her knowledge.
Xing Youyou got rid of her child in one fell swoop. Thinking of the bowl of medicine that Sang Qing had replaced with the excuse of being cold, Xing Youyou broke into a sweat. She was almost, almost, about to lose the most important thing in her life.
.
Shangguan Hao was pushed two steps away by Xing Youyou, and turned to look at her. Her face was pale and without a trace of blood, and her thin body seemed to be about to fall down in the next moment, but the anger that burst out in her eyes seemed to be burning.
everything.
She held her belly firmly with both hands and glared at him, as if if he came even one step closer, she would pounce on him and bite him to death.
Sang Qing cried and rushed forward: "Madam, please don't blame the emperor, the imperial doctor... The imperial doctor said that you and the child in your belly cannot have both ends, so the emperor would make such a choice."
"Go away, Sang Qing, I trust you so much, but you betrayed my trust." The extreme anger made Xing Youyou lose her cool. One of them is her husband, and the other is her confidant. This double
The blow made her think calmly.
Sang Qing burst into tears. She knew that she had hurt her mother's heart. Even if she stopped at the last moment, it could not change her intention to hold the bowl of abortion pills in front of her mother.
The palace servants waiting outside were frightened to death by this turn of events, and no one dared to go in to dissuade her at this time.
When Shangguan Hao saw Xing Youyou going crazy, he suddenly remembered Shangguan Jue's words. Husband and wife are one, and no matter how difficult the decision is, the two of you should discuss it together. You think you are thinking about her, but in her opinion, it may not be the case.
respect.
"Calm down, if you continue to be so emotional, this child will not be saved even without medicine." Shangguan Jue knew that at this moment, Xing Youyou could not listen to anything he said, so he could only use what she cared about most as a bargaining chip.
Sure enough, Xing Youyou relaxed slightly after hearing this. She took two deep breaths and tried hard to calm down the anger in her chest.
After about a cup of tea, Shangguan Hao said to the people outside: "Go and ask for Doctor Qi."
After a while, the old doctor rushed in sweating profusely. Neither the emperor nor the empress spoke to each other. The atmosphere was so dull that it made one's heart ache.
"Go and diagnose the Queen's pulse." Shangguan Hao ordered. Xing Youyou's body was not used to the violent mood swings. The anger just now was something she had never experienced before.
"Your Majesty, would you like me to diagnose your pulse?" Seeing that the Queen was acting like a hedgehog, the old doctor quickly softened his tone and requested with great sincerity.
Xing Youyou glanced at Shangguan Jue coldly, and then stretched out her wrist.
"Do you feel a dull pain in your stomach?" Seeing the queen nod, the old doctor added, "My queen, please be careful not to be overjoyed or sad."
"Mr. Qi, please tell me honestly, what happened to the fetus in my belly?" This is not Xing Youyou's first pregnancy. She is not unaware of the extraordinary difficulties of this pregnancy, but as long as there is a trace of
I hope she doesn't want to give up.
The old doctor glanced at Shangguan Hao hesitantly, and when he nodded, he said sadly: "Mother, I am incompetent. The later this pregnancy goes, the more difficult it will be. Even if the pregnancy is successfully passed, the risk of childbirth is even greater.
I guess the empress’s phoenix body is more important.”
Xing Youyou sat back on the bed as if she was exhausted, her tears kept falling. Why were you so cruel to her? How could you bear such pain?
Seeing her like this, Shangguan Hao approached her again. This time Xing Youyou didn't push him away. He hugged her and said with difficulty: "Yuyou, let's not cry, okay? We can be fine even if we don't have children."
Xing Youyou shook her head, she didn't want it, she didn't want to abandon her child, she grabbed Shangguan Hao's lapel with one hand and begged: "I can't do without him, I beg you, if I don't do it for myself, I won't do it even if I'm alive.
happy."
"But I can't watch him drain your life. I know it took a lot of effort for you to have this child. He is very important to you, and he is equally important to me. But if you have to choose between him and you,
, I would rather you be fine." This was perhaps the most touching thing Shangguan Hao had ever said in his life. Xing Youyou thought of his tears just now, so were his tears shed for their child?
"Hao, try again, try again, okay?" She looked at him, crying silently. At this moment, the two of them were like every ordinary couple in the world who loved each other, suffering the same suffering.
"You touch him, you feel him. We have lost him once." Xing Youyou eagerly grabbed Shangguan Hao's hand and pressed it against her lower abdomen, trying her best to persuade him to give up that cruel idea.
ps: As expected, Xiaoyu is the worst person to write about *deep love. I have been holding this chapter for 5 hours, and I almost wanted to die. But fortunately, the couple finally talked about it, and Xiaoyu was relieved.
Tone, the rest will be relatively relaxed.
