Cover The Sky With One Hand, Beat The Ground With The Other Chapter 66: Part 5

I didn't dare to use a horse on the way back. Although I was full of doubts, I still didn't dare to take this risk, so I had to lead the horse and walk slowly.

The letter of rejection is very clear in black and white. I can't believe it after all. How could I have... Could it be that my mother has been in poor condition recently and misdiagnosed?

My heart was in a mess, and after thinking about it, I decided to find a medical center to confirm it.

The doctor who saw me seems to be an old doctor of this hospital, and he smiled as soon as he touched my pulse: "Congratulations to this lady, this pulse is fluent, like a slippery pearl, it is indeed There is no doubt about it.”

My hand shook, "Doctor, do you want to touch for a while? How could I possibly be pregnant? I don't vomit, I don't sleep, and I don't have any signs of pregnancy .”

The doctor glanced at me with a smile, "Everyone's condition is different, and not all symptoms such as morning sickness, etc., this old man has been examining the pulse for decades, and he definitely won't diagnose the wrong pulse even for a happy pulse. Madam can rest assured." /

I rubbed my forehead: "...this is obviously impossible..."

"Why is it impossible? Madam has a monthly letter in the past two months?"

I shook my head, "I thought it was an irregular schedule..."

Calculate this way, two months ago, Song Langsheng and I were still living in the Guiyuan Garden of Guangling. During that time, he really didn't seem to be lazy in that regard... But, I have been working hard for the past two months. Hurrying on the road all night, and rushing into the deep palace at night, I was scared and scared, and I was detained in the sky prison a few days ago. Is this like father or mother?

Seeing that I have no masters, the old doctor couldn't help but ask, "Could it be... girl, you... haven't married yet?"

I glanced at him. "Of course I'm married. Even if I look very green in the past, you can't say that, doctor. I married several years ago."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, "What is there to worry about, Madam? This is a happy event, and you should go back and tell your husband."

I can't imagine if Song Langsheng would do anything irrational after learning this news, I shook my head and subconsciously said: "Tell him, I'm afraid it's going to be a rhythm of chaos in the world. ..."

The doctor took a deep breath, "Mo, could it be that this child...isn't your husband..."

I didn't pay much attention to what he said, so I nodded to myself, "I really don't know how to say it, alas, it's my fault that I was too impulsive at first, I locked him up without caring about his feelings, and then went outside by myself. , will make things into this unmanageable situation..."

"Guan Guan Guan shut up the husband to do something wrong?" The corner of the doctor's mouth twitched: "...This, this, that lady means that the child can't be kept?"

"When did I say I won't keep the child!" I glared at him, "The child's father, Yushu Linfeng, is handsome and handsome. In the future, whether this child is a boy or a girl, it is destined to spoil all living beings. How could I not keep a child!"

The way the doctor looked at me could no longer be described as horrifying. When I looked up, I felt that the old doctor's attitude towards a pregnant woman was too unfriendly, so I stopped talking to him and simply asked him to give me a prescription. Auxiliary contraceptives hurried back.

The streets outside the city are crowded with cars and horses, and I keep walking slowly, lest a passing passerby accidentally bump me.

Sometimes people are so magical. A few days ago, people who were reckless and did not know whether to live or die, when they found out that there was a small life in their stomach, they began to look ahead, and they were cautious in every move.

At that time, I lived in seclusion in the small town of Guangling. Song Langsheng and I would often lie on the grass, watching the faint stars in the sky, looking forward to who our baby would look like in the future, what name should we choose, whether we should learn martial arts or not , to travel Wanchuan together and see the wonders of the world.

Song Langsheng especially likes little girls, and when he sees a more beautiful child on the road, he can't help but take a look, and then thoughtfully narcissistically said: "We still don't want to have a daughter, my My daughter is bound to conquer the country and the city, and all men in the world are unlucky, and I will never bear to marry her."

I heard this and said angrily: "Then I'm not married to you yet?"

He said indifferently: "How many of me are there in the world?"

Me: "..."

I couldn't help laughing out loud when I thought of his over-the-top look, but I couldn't stop laughing.

How should I tell Song Langsheng?

A daughter of a rebel is pregnant with a keel. According to the Daqing Law, even if the child is born safely, that woman will never be able to become a concubine.

He is now facing the enemy on the back, and it is difficult to ride a tiger. He can't even get out of his body to come to me these days, which proves that the situation in the DPRK is far more severe than imagined. If you find out that I am pregnant at this time. , whether it is for me and the group of ministers to die, or to abandon the safety of the country and take me away, it will lead to unimaginable consequences.

I swayed back to the bamboo like a wandering soul. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw several black-clothed corpses lying around outside the hospital. It seemed that they had just been killed by someone, and the blood was still seeping out from his lips.

The door was half-closed, and I vaguely felt that there was someone in the room. I couldn't understand the situation and didn't dare to enter without authorization. I was about to turn around to look for someone, when the door suddenly opened, and a person walked out slowly towards me. Said: "Don't panic, it's this old man."

That person was Zhao Gengnian.

After entering the house, I found that not only the chief minister of the dynasty visited the house, but also the general Huo Chuan, the minister of military affairs Yang Lizhi, the commander of the pro-military commander He Pingzhao and others. I was a little relieved to come to visit me instead of arresting a fugitive like me. It's just that I'm already a commoner, and it stands to reason that when I see several important officials in the court, I'm going to bow down. , Nanne asked, "What's the matter with the corpse outside?"

They looked at each other, only to hear Huo Chuan say: "I was waiting to see that the princess was not at home, and I was hesitating whether to continue waiting, but an assassin mistook the movement in the house as the princess intending to do something. Lord Yang and Lord He immediately took action to restrain them, but they would kill themselves immediately after biting the poison, and not a single survivor would be left."

It seems that the dark guards whom I called to find my mother have not returned. I said: "This kind of dead man generally respects his own integrity, which is understandable and understandable." Seeing the corners of their mouths twitching, I said: "It doesn't matter whether you live or not, the most important thing is a few adults. All right."

He Pingzhao said: "Although they are using swords, their hands are covered with thick calluses, which should be held all year round, and their footwork skills are very sergeant's style. ..."

I looked back at the courtyard and said, "I don't think there is any need to examine it. The person who most covets the throne in the court is the one who wants to kill me the most. Only by killing me can Song... There is chaos, so we are waiting for an opportunity to replace it. And those who are qualified to share a piece of the pie are only a few royal families of the Xiao family..."

Zhao Gengnian said meaningfully: "Princess is really like a mirror, and the old man also believes that the master of the murder should have something to do with Prince Rui and others."

I nodded, then shook my head again: "I am no longer a princess, so don't call me that."

Seeing their faces were embarrassed, I was hesitating in my heart whether I really had to kneel down and worship them before they would accept this reality. I didn't know they looked at them again, and the next moment, they knelt in front of my eyes at the same time.

I was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back: "What are you doing?"

Zhao Gengnian said: "Princess, we are here today because we have something to ask for..."

I said: "If you have something to say, why do you have to give this gift?"

Zhao Gengnian was silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth: "Tomorrow...is the emperor's enthronement ceremony...I want the princess...to stay away from the capital, and never...never see the emperor again .”

I thought I heard it wrong.

Song Langsheng told me before leaving that night that although most of the court officials wanted to kill me, at least these adults still tried their best to protect me. There is still a turnaround. I have also guessed, including my ability to quietly come out from Dali Temple, without Zhao Gengnian's secret help, it may not have been so smooth.

They really saved me, but now they let me go.

Zhao Gengnian saw that I had not spoken for a long time, and said: "The princess is the princess recognized by the late emperor and Emperor Yuanzong. No matter what her identity is, it has never changed in the heart of the old man. The princess has already retired, but for the sake of Daqing Jiangshan Returning to the capital at the risk of death, knowing the dangers and still exposing the conspiracy of King Qing's henchmen, all these things made the old man and others highly respect and admire, and now suffering this disaster, he should have helped the princess to the end... But... on the Xiao family. Unwilling to give the throne to a sudden person, even Prince Rui rushed back to the capital overnight to plan the matter. It was just that the two imperial decrees could not be heard, and they had no way to start. The reason is that they want to use this to attack the emperor... Everyone knows that the emperor treats the princess with deep affection and righteousness, and will never ignore the princess... Therefore, they use the words of the censor and the Confucian scholars inside and outside the capital to persecute the emperor. , no matter how hard I try to stop all this, trying to alleviate the princess' guilt, it still has little effect... Now, the emperor is..."

He couldn't continue, He Pingzhao continued his words: "During this period, how many people hoped that the emperor could make mistakes, so that they could use the topic to attack the emperor. The emperor knew this and insisted on sending the princess out of Dali Temple overnight. , I don't want the princess to be humiliated at all... Now, someone has noticed that the person in prison is not the princess herself, so they have asked for the case again and again... Even if we delay the matter on the grounds that the emperor has not yet ascended the throne, we can only delay it. For a while, if the prisoners are not 'executed' as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles at any time..."

"So," I asked rhetorically, "If Xiao Qitang in prison dies, I must disappear from this world, otherwise, the emperor will still be endangered, and even more people will be involved, right?"

Yang Lizhi sighed: "If it weren't for the princess, the daughter of the minister and the son of the late emperor would not be able to return to the palace safely. If it weren't for the princess, everyone would still be deceived by King Qing at this moment... We shouldn't have forced the princess to leave. ...it is the general trend, so I have to make this last resort..."

I bowed my head: "I naturally understand your loyalty to the court. It's just...if I leave like this...he..."

Huo Chuan was silent for a long time, and said: "Now that Liang Guo heard about this change, he has already wanted to reorganize his army and attack it. If the internal worries are not eliminated, there will be a mutiny in the palace, and the emperor will not be able to successfully ascend to the throne. I am afraid that the territory of Daqing is in jeopardy... "..." He kowtowed forcefully: "The emperor has great righteousness in his heart, and he has a great celebration for the common people. Huo Chuan is sincerely convinced and willing to do everything he can to help... But the emperor's love for the princess is too deep, and it is difficult to extricate himself for a while... ministers and others... all difficult. Persuade half a point... Now, the only one who can save the emperor and Daqing is you, the princess..."

After he finished speaking, the remaining three adults slammed their heads on the ground one after another, and that bang bang sounded like a heavy hammer on my heart.

I slowly put the medicine in my hand on the table with my back to them.

A cloud of ink billowed from afar, obscuring a bright sunny day.

After all, it can't live up to the destiny.

Not long after the veterans left, the dark guards rushed back. When they saw the assassin in the courtyard, they were so frightened that they almost apologized to death. I waved my hand indifferently and asked them to clean up the corpse first, so as not to incur some snakes, mosquitoes and ants that would make it difficult for me to sleep at night.

It's just that this night is doomed to be difficult to sleep.

Just as I was about to go to bed early after eating, the door of the house was pushed open, and the wind whistled the lampstand. Come.

I was stunned, he had already walked to the side of the **** and hugged me tremblingly, almost suffocating. I think he heard about the assassin, so he put down everything he was desperate to come here, I slapped his chin on his shoulder and patted his back lightly, "I'm fine."

For a long time, Song Langsheng let go of my hand and tried his best to restrain his voice to remain calm: "Are you really not injured? How did those assassins die?"

I said: "When I came back, I saw them lying down in the yard..." I didn't mention Zhao Gengnian and the others coming to find me, "Aren't those assassins done by your people?"

He shook his head, perhaps thinking about my safety, but he didn't realize what was wrong with what I said, "I can't go on like this, I can't leave you here alone."

I was startled. He said: "Tomorrow morning, I will take you away. The world is so big that no one will find us anymore."

I was stunned, "Are you crazy? You are the emperor. You just left without ascending the throne. Where will you put the people of the world?"

His eyes are full of panic, I have never seen him like this, "What emperor, what the world, I almost lost you just to take care of those...A Tang, you are right, the forces in the DPRK are intertwined, I can't save you now that I'm not stable, all I can do is take you away..."

I stared blankly at him, my throat choked.

This was originally just a very simple multiple-choice question - choose to take me away, or choose to separate and stay alone to protect Daqing.

This kind of choice, if it is changed to a close relative, they will naturally choose the former without hesitation. They have a clear conscience when they do what they can, why should they sacrifice themselves to help others? If it is replaced by a benevolent, righteous and courageous person who cherishes the common people in the world, and has such a belief in his heart, even if his heart is painful, he should move forward without any hesitation, even if he is lonely in this life.

But Song Langsheng, he didn't even realize it, when he had already decided to take me away, he would be so uneasy and hesitant.

Just because we've gone through so much hardship and because we're so desperate to stay with each other. But after all, we cannot make decisions that go against our conscience before facing the big right and wrong.

At this moment, I suddenly understood why Zhao Gengnian and the others came to beg me in person.

We can't run away forever, someone has to make that choice.

Song Langsheng looked at me, as if waiting for my answer, I bowed my head and said: "How did Jing Yan die, have you forgotten? Did you also forget the entrustment of the father before his death? Leaving like this, several princes and clans in the court will definitely fight for the throne, and it is inevitable that soldiers will meet in and out of the capital... Not to mention whether the rebels will make a comeback in advance, and it does not say that Liang Guo will gather troops after two years. Whether we break into the city or not, at that time, Jingyan's only flesh and blood will definitely not be able to keep it... All those who are on our side, the queen mother, sister Jiayi, Zhao Shoufu, Yanran, General Huo, and Wei Qingheng, Lu Lingjun, Zhang Xianyang and even more people will be implicated, and it is even difficult to save their lives..."

His lips became whiter and whiter, and I said, "...even so, are you still leaving?"

Song Langsheng rocked his chair and stood up, knocking over the chair beside his feet, "Who taught you these words? I don't want to hear you say this, it's not your truth."

"It's my sincerity," I slowly got up, my heart trembling with pain, "In those days, I would rather die with the city, and the same is true today. I, Xiao Qitang, will not, and will never be covetous with Gouqi. Those who are at ease alone will stay with each other.”

I waited for him to retort, but he only stiffened for a moment before he hugged me tightly, as if he wanted to rub me into his flesh . I heard him say, "Don't you say that again, I know that no matter what I become, you will always like me."

Hearing such self-defeating words, tears overflowed my eyes, but I still couldn't help smiling, "Who said that, if you were ugly and fat, I would definitely not like you."

He didn't mean to let go, "I don't believe it."

I knew I couldn't get rid of him, so I lay on his chest like this and said, "A-sheng, actually... don't worry about me, right now I'm just leaving your side temporarily, a little farther from the capital. , but won't let you find me..."

He took a long breath, the breath was full of trembling, "I don't believe..."

I bit my lip and tried to smile, refusing to see him at all: "After you ascend to the throne, when your imperial power is in your hands, if you don't come to me, I will run back immediately, what I said, When will you stop counting..."

"I don't believe... You are the stupidest person in the world. How can I believe what you say..." His voice was close at hand, but I felt a cold wetness fall from my neck in an instant.

I closed my eyes tightly, "Didn't you say that you only have one wife in your life? Me too... Don't worry, I will definitely not remarry..."

This time, he didn't make a sound.

The autumn wind was cool, he hugged him like this for a long time, until his tears dried up, and he was reluctant to let him go.

The stars outside the window are gradually disappearing, and the dark sky is getting lighter and lighter.

Someone knocked on the door lightly and signaled: "Master, if you don't go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to make time for the enthronement ceremony."

He turned a deaf ear and still hugged me tightly. I turned my head slightly, put my hand on his chest and said, "Happy birthday."

He froze for a moment, then slowly loosened a little, looked at me with his head lowered slightly, I stretched out my hand and tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "The time has passed, today is your birthday, have you forgotten? Look, I won't forget...Shou Xinggong must be happy, and everything will be fulfilled this year."

He brushed my forehead with his fingers and stared at me firmly, "My wish is to be with you, I will be happy, only with you."

Heart sinks to the bottom. When will such a deep wish come true?

I said: "It's almost dawn, if you don't leave, you're going to cause me trouble... Since you can't make up your mind, I'll wait for your answer, tonight... I'll be here waiting for you Come celebrate your birthday together, okay?"

For a time, I only heard the sound of the grass and trees outside the house, and the sound of each other's heartbeats.

For a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "I want to eat longevity noodles."

I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I'm the best at cooking noodles, but you can't dislike it if it doesn't taste good."

Seeing that he still refused to leave, I had to say: "There are enough dark guards outside the house to destroy a battalion. If I kill a team of Yulin guards, I can walk away calmly."

He finally moved the corners of his mouth. But there was a deep pain in his eyes.

As the sound of the hooves drifted away, I bowed my head, and the tears that I had held back for a long time were finally able to pour out unscrupulously.
