The whole night, she knelt outside the door. Her body seemed to be stiff, and her heart was numb.
The sky gradually became brighter, and when Eunuch Zhang was delivering breakfast to Ye Liyuan early in the morning, he found that Bai Qiqian had fainted outside the door.
Eunuch Zhang got down and shook Bai Qiqian's body, only to find that her body was completely cold.
Eunuch Zhang was heartbroken, gritted his teeth, picked up Bai Qiqian, and walked directly in: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yao fainted outside the door."
Ye Liyuan hugged Bai Qiqian over and looked at the face as pale as paper, feeling heart-wrenching pain. He almost shouted loudly, but was afraid of disturbing her. He suppressed his anger and asked:
"What the hell is going on?"
Eunuch Zhang's voice was a little cold: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Concubine Yao was kneeling outside the door to beg you yesterday?"
Ye Liyuan's face darkened: "I know, but later I agreed to her request."
Eunuch Zhang was stunned: "Your Majesty, did you agree to Concubine Yao? But this servant did not hear your order."
Ye Liyuan was startled, and then he figured out what was going on.
He wanted to go out last night and tell her that he agreed to her request and only asked her not to torture herself like that. Because torturing her would make his heart hurt.
When he stepped out, Su Wanliang hugged him from behind.
She begged him, hoping that he would not agree to Concubine Yao's request, otherwise the atmosphere in the harem would be unhealthy.
At that moment, he did hesitate for a while. But when he thought of that beautiful person kneeling in the cold wind, he couldn't bear it.
Turning his head and drinking a cup of tea handed over by Su Wanliang, he suddenly felt sleepy.
Before going to bed, he clearly remembered that he had asked Su Wanliang to tell Bai Qiqian that he agreed to her.
However, the fact is that Bai Qiqian knelt outside the door all night.
Ye Liyuan's eyes were red. He placed Bai Qiqian on the bed, then held her hand tightly and murmured: "Qianqian, wake up. As long as you wake up, I can promise anything."
You, whether you let Yunran or Cui Yanlin go, I promise you."
Eunuch Zhang retreated with a look of compassion. He had known this, why did he do it in the first place?
After a while, the imperial doctor came to diagnose with a medicine box.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, please express your condolences. I'm afraid the fetus in Concubine Yao's belly may not be saved."
Ye Liyuan almost roared and asked: "Isn't there some way to keep the child?"
The imperial doctor knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty has been kneeling outside the door all night, and the cold has penetrated her bones. The child has been stillborn. Even if the Great Luo Immortal descends to earth, there is nothing she can do. I ask Your Majesty to show your condolences and obey."
If Qian Qian learns this news, she will go crazy with pain.
When she woke up, how could he tell her such cruel news? Ye Liyuan clenched his fist fiercely and punched the table. It was all his fault. He was the one who caused her pain.
.
Ye Liyuan's expression was like a sad beast.
Eunuch Zhang waved his hand to the imperial doctor, who quickly withdrew as if he had been granted amnesty. Eunuch Zhang stood aside: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself."
No more children?
Bai Qiqian, who was lying on the bed, seemed to hear this sentence in his ears? The child was gone, and the little life he was gestating in his belly disappeared.
Then what should I do? In white clothes, as pure as you, as innocent as you, how can you be willing to leave your mother, Aunt Yun, and Huanwan behind?
Thinking of those hot afternoons, they sat together, their eyes full of joy, discussing Xiao Baiyi.
At that time, Bai Qiqian always had a soft smile on her face, caressing her belly lovingly. Sometimes she would hum a little tune, saying that she was singing to little Baiyi.
Yun Ran always teased her and said, "Do you expect Xiao Baiyi to be able to speak and sing after she is born?"
Bai Qiqian said happily: "My little Baiyi is a genius."
Huanwan will also be very excited and say: "Auntie, I want to be a genius master. I want to teach Xiao Baiyi martial arts and also teach her to read and write."
Ziyuan interjected: "Mother, I can teach the little girl in white how to be red."
Bai Qiqian said weakly: "Ziyuan, I don't know how to be a female beauty, why don't you teach me first."
Ziyuan glanced at Bai Qiqian with contempt, but she still taught Bai Qiqian how to sew clothes step by step. She often said, as a mother, how can you not make clothes for your children?
It is really not an easy task for these hands, which are accustomed to holding weapons, to hold an embroidery needle.
But every time she thought of Xiao Baiyi wearing the clothes she had sewn, her heart felt sweet, as if she had been filled with honey.
Baiyi, my little Baiyi, my mother is studying very hard, so don’t leave your mother, okay?
In this way, Bai Qiqian fell asleep for more than half a month.
Over time, he actually developed a habit. After he retired from the court, he would go directly back to Chengqian Hall. Seeing her sleeping face, he always sighed: "Qianqian, your body is almost recovered."
,Why don’t you still wake up?”
Every day, he would ask himself several times. But Bai Qiqian didn't give him any answer.
Only Eunuch Zhang knew that Concubine Yao had woken up once.
A few days ago, Su Wanliang came to the palace to look for Ye Liyuan, and Lihua brought rain: "Your Majesty, the matter of Concubine Yao really has nothing to do with me, Your Majesty..."
Ye Liyuan looked at Su Wanliang with some disgust: "Su Su, does it really have nothing to do with you?"
He spoke so sarcastically that it deeply hurt Su Wanliang's heart.
Su Wanliang knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Yao who wanted to kneel outside the door and beg you to spare Concubine Yun. She threatened you with her child. She brought all this on herself. You
Why should we place the blame on my concubines?"
He threatened him with his child.
If Bai Qiqian really cared about that child, she wouldn't be so brave and kneel outside the door all night.
Su Wanliang's words hit the nail on the head. At that time, Ye Liyuan's face instantly turned pale.
She looked at Ye Liyuan desolately, with tears falling from her eyes: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yao has already lost her child. Could it be that... could it be that... you also want to let my concubine lose another child?"
Ye Liyuan was startled and looked at Su Wanliang with complicated eyes.
Su Wanliang caressed her bulging belly: "Your Majesty, I only ask that the Emperor can love the child in my belly more."
Ye Liyuan helped Su Wanliang up, and when his eyes touched her abdomen, he showed a gentle expression. No matter what, the child is innocent.
The truth doesn't seem to matter anymore.
The important thing is that Su Wanliang is carrying his child in her belly.
When Ye Liyuan was young, he never received the love of his father. He secretly swore to himself that he would treat his own children well in the future. This may be a kind of compensation for himself.
That day, Eunuch Zhang accidentally looked into the house and saw a pair of absent-minded eyes.
He knew that Concubine Yao's heart was probably dead.
After the morning session, Ye Liyuan came to see Bai Qiqian again, caressed her cheek, and whispered softly: "Qianqian, why don't you wake up?" The young emperor's eyebrows were full of sadness, and his eyes were lonely and lonely.
Deserted.
Eunuch Zhang comforted her and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you send your empress back to Fangfei Hall? That's where she lives after all. Maybe she can think of something."
Ye Liyuan nodded and finally agreed: "That's okay, maybe she likes it there better."
So, he sent Eunuch Zhang to escort Bai Qiqian back to Fangfei Hall.
Eunuch Zhang helped Bai Qiqian get into the chariot. He turned back and looked at the emperor standing in the wind, filled with emotion.
Eunuch Zhang whispered in Bai Qiqian's ear, Concubine Yao, half a month has passed and you should wake up. There are always many things to encounter in life, and every hurdle must be overcome.
.
Concubine Yao, actually don’t resent the emperor, he also has his own reasons. Concubine Su did this for the sake of the child in her belly.
The emperor will not give you the truth for the sake of the child in her belly.
Madam, after you have figured it out, you should wake up. Sleeping cannot escape everything.
Eunuch Zhang kept talking in Bai Qiqian's ear for a long time, but he didn't notice that Bai Qiqian's hand, which was originally hanging down, was holding on to the corner of his clothes.
When Ziyuan saw Bai Qiqian, tears fell down.
Eunuch Zhang looked at the crying people in the Fangfei Palace and left sadly.
At night, Zi Yuan fed Bai Qi Qian, and Bai Qi Qian opened her eyes. Her expression was a little indifferent, and even her eyes were dull.
Ziyuan wiped her tears and smiled: "Mother, do you know that you have been asleep for half a month this time. I am so worried, so worried that you will not wake up. Huanwen hugged me and cried all day long. At such a young age,
It hurts my heart. Madam, if you don’t wake up, I will..."
Bai Qiqian grinned and forced a smile: "Ziyuan, Yunran, she..."
Ziyuan helped her sit up: "The emperor has treated them lightly. Mr. Cui was demoted and will no longer be employed for life. Yunran, on the other hand, removed her position as a concubine and was demoted to a commoner. Now she is in the Fangfei Palace."
As expected, he was merciful, and this punishment was considered light.
Without the constraints of the concubine's position, it is the best result for Yun Ran.
Bai Qiqian breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked: "Ziyuan, where is the white clothes? Where is my white clothes?"
The tears that Ziyuan had just held back suddenly burst out again, and she cried and said: "Empress, the little princess... the little princess... was not saved..."
It was not saved, it was really not saved. Everything that happened was true. Her white clothes had left her and would never come back.
Bai Qiqian suddenly felt as if there was an empty space in her heart, so empty that it ached.
It turned out that losing a child was such a painful thing. Two lines of tears flowed from her eyes, and she closed her eyes again.
Ziyuan tucked Bai Qiqian into bed and walked out.
It wasn't until the footsteps were far away that Bai Qiqian slowly opened his eyes and beat his lower abdomen with both hands.
The heartbreaking pain made her face suddenly turn pale.
Bai Yi, Bai Yi is really gone.
Bai Yi, do you resent your mother for not protecting you properly, so you are punishing her? This time, your mother knows you were wrong, so stop hiding from your mother, come out, and come back to your mother, okay?
Tears flowed freely on her face, and Bai Qiqian bit her lip, trying hard not to cry.
Bai Yi, don't worry, your mother will definitely seek justice for you.
