Cover The Sky With One Hand, Beat The Ground With The Other

I dared not use the horse anymore on the way back. Although full of doubts, I still didn't dare to take the risk, so I had to lead the horse slowly along the way.

Although the letter is very clear in black and white, I cannot believe it at all. How could I just... Could it be that my mother has been misdiagnosed because of her recent poor condition?

My heart became a mess, after thinking about it, I decided to find a medical clinic to verify it.

The doctor who looked for me seems to be a veteran of this medical clinic. As soon as he touched my pulse, he smiled and said: "Congratulations, madam, this pulse is fluent, like slipping beads, it is indeed a happy pulse. ."

I shook my hand. "Doctor, would you like to touch it for a while? How could I be pregnant? I can't vomit when I eat, and I don't get sleepy, and I don't have any signs of pregnancy."

The doctor smiled and glanced at me, "People have different physical conditions, not all of them have morning sickness and other reactions. The old man has been diagnosed with pulses for decades, and he is determined that he will not even diagnose a happy pulse, so please rest assured."

I rubbed my forehead: "...It's obviously impossible..."

"Why is it impossible? Madam, has there been a letter in the past two months?"

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

Calculating this way, two months ago, Song Langsheng and I were living in Guangling Guiyuan. During that time, he did not seem to be lazy in that aspect... But, but I have been rushing on the road overnight for these two months. It's the night to go to the deep palace again to worry about fear, and was taken to the sky prison a few days ago, so that the child can be kept? Is this like a father or a mother?

Seeing my Liushen Wuzhu, the old doctor couldn't help but ask: "Could it be... girl, you... haven't married yet?"

I glanced at him, "I'm naturally married, even if I look pretty green, but doctor, you can't say that. I got married years ago."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, "What can I worry about, the lady? This is a happy event, and you should go back and tell your husband."

I didn't dare to imagine if Song Langsheng would do anything irrational after he knew the news, I shook my head, and subconsciously said: "Tell him, I'm afraid it will be a chaotic rhythm in the world..."

The doctor took a breath, "Mo, could it be that this kid...not your husband..."

I didn’t pay too much attention to what he said, and nodded self-consciously, “I really don’t know how to open my mouth. Alas, I was too impulsive at the beginning. Let things lead to this uncontrollable situation..."

"Guan Guan Guan keeps the husband doing nonsense?" The corner of the doctor's mouth twitched, "...this, this, the lady meant that this child could not be kept?"

"When did I say not to leave a child!" I glared at him. "The child's father, Yushu Linfeng, is handsome and handsome. In the future, this child is destined to dump all living beings, how can I not leave a child!"

The doctor's eyes could no longer be described as horror. When I raised my head, I felt that the old doctor's attitude towards a pregnant woman was too unfriendly, so I stopped chatting with him, and simply asked him to give me an abortion. The medicine hurried back.

The streets outside the city were sparkling with carriages and crowds, and I kept aside and walked slowly, lest I was accidentally hit by a passer-by who was passing by in a hurry.

People are sometimes so miraculous. People who were still reckless a few days ago, when they learned that there was a little life in their stomach, they began to look forward and backward, and be cautious in every move.

At that time, we lived in seclusion in the small town of Guangling. Song Langsheng and I would often lie on the grass, watching the stars faintly in the sky, looking forward to who our baby will look like in the future, what name we want, whether to learn martial arts, or to be together Travel around Wanchuan and see the wonders of the world.

Song Langsheng especially likes little girls. On weekdays, when he sees more beautiful children on the road, he can’t help but take another look. Then he thoughtfully narcissistically said: “We still don’t want to have a daughter. My daughter will definitely fall in love. The country is alluring, all men in the world are fortunate, and I will never bear to marry her."

I will groan after hearing this: "Then I am married to you?"

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

I:"……"

Thinking of his foolish appearance, I couldn't help but laugh, just smile, but couldn't laugh anymore.

How do you talk to Song Langsheng?

An anti-thief's daughter is pregnant with a keel, and according to Daqing law, even if the child can be born safely, it is absolutely impossible for that woman to become a concubine.

He is now suffering from the enemy's stomach and back, and riding a tiger is difficult. In the past few days, he can't even get out of his body to come to me. This proves that the situation in North Korea is far more serious than imagined. To break the net for the sake of me and the group of officials, or to abandon the country and take me away in spite of safety, will lead to unimaginable consequences.

I swayed back to the bamboo like a wandering soul. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw several black-clothed corpses lying all around outside the courtyard. It seemed that not long after they were killed, the blood on the lips was still leaking.

The door was half closed and half closed, and I faintly felt that there was someone in the room. I couldn't figure out the situation and didn't dare to enter without authorization. As I was waiting to look for someone, the door suddenly opened. Someone walked out slowly and said to me:" Don't panic, it's the old man."

That person was Zhao Gengnian.

After entering the house, I discovered that not only the chief assistant of the court, but also the general Huo Chuan, the Shangshu Yang Lizhi of the Ministry of War, and He Pingzhao, the commander of the pro-military captain's mansion, came to visit. I didn't come to catch me as a fugitive, so I felt a little relieved. It’s just that I’m already a commoner. It stands to reason that I saw a few important ministers in the central government to bow down. But this identity suddenly changed. I couldn’t let go of the old frame. I stood carrying two bundles of medicine packages at a time. Nane asked: "What's the matter with the corpse outside?"

They looked at each other and only listened to Huo Chuan said: "I was waiting to see that the princess was not at home, and was hesitating whether to wait any longer. Some assassins mistakenly regarded the movement in the house as the princess intending to do it. I, Mrs. Yang, Master He immediately shot them to contain them. How can they imagine that they killed themselves by biting the poison immediately, and they were not able to stay alive."

It seems that those dark guards who were called by me to find my mother have not yet come back. I said: "Such dead men generally respect their own ethics, understandable and understandable." Seeing that the corners of their mouths twitched, I said: "It doesn't matter whether you live or not. The most important thing is a few adults. All is well."

He Pingzhao said: "Although they are using swords, their hands are covered with thick calluses. They should be the hands that hold guns all the year round. Their footwork skills are very sergeant's style. As long as they are carefully checked, they should be able to uncover clues... "

I looked back at the courtyard and said, "I don't think I need to check it carefully. The one in the court who covets the throne the most is the one who wants to kill me the most. Only by killing me can Song... Waiting for an opportunity to replace it. And those who are eligible to get a share of the pie, there are only a few royal families in the Xiao family left..."

Zhao Gengnian said meaningfully and authentically: "The princess really is like a mirror, and the old man also believes that the master of the perpetrator should be inseparable from the king of Rui."

I nodded, then shook my head again: "I am not a princess now, and you don't want to call me that."

Seeing the embarrassment on their faces, I was wondering whether I really had to kneel down and worship them before I would accept this reality. But they exchanged their eyes again, and the next moment, I knelt down in front of my eyes at the same time.

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

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

I said: "If you have something to say bluntly, why bother to give such a big gift?"

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

I thought I heard it wrong.

Before Song Langsheng left that night, he told me that although most of the courtiers in the court wanted to put me to death, at least these adults still tried their best to protect me. They played a very important role in the court. With their support, things could turn for the better. . I have also guessed, including that I can come out quietly from Dali Temple. Without Zhao Gengnian's help, it would not have been so smooth.

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

Zhao Gengnian saw that I hadn't spoken for a long time, and said: "The princess is the princess recognized by the first emperor and the Yuanzong emperor. Regardless of her identity, she has never changed in the heart of the old man. The princess has already retired, but she still risked her death for the sake of Daqing. Jing, knowing the dangers, still exposes the conspiracy of King Qing’s party feathers. All of these have made the old man very respectful and admired. Now suffering from this catastrophe, he should have helped the princess to the end... But... the Xiao family is all up and down. Unwilling to let the throne be occupied by a sudden person, King Rui also rushed back to Beijing overnight to plan this matter. But the two imperial edicts were not allowed to be beaked, they had no way to start, only secretly contacted the court officials and used the princess’s life as a reason. Want to use this to attack the emperor... Everyone knows that the emperor treats the princess deeply and righteously, and will never ignore the princess... Therefore, they use the preacher of the royal history and the Confucian scholars inside and outside the capital to persecute the emperor, regardless of me Waiting for how to stop all of this, trying to reduce the blame for the princess, still has little effect... Now, the emperor is already..."

He couldn't continue, and He Pingzhao continued his words: "During this period, how many people are hoping that the emperor can make mistakes so that they can use the questions to attack the emperor. The emperor knows this and insisted on sending the princess out of Dali Temple overnight. Let the princess suffer the slightest humiliation... Now, someone has noticed that the person in prison is not the princess herself, so they have only asked for the case to be heard again and again... If the prisoner is not'executed' as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles at any time..."

"So," I asked, "If Xiao Qitang in prison dies, I must disappear in 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 minister's daughter and the son of the first emperor would not be able to return to the palace safely. If it weren't for the princess, everyone would still be blinded by King Qing... originally we shouldn't have forced the princess to leave... It’s the general trend that has no choice but to make this move..."

I lowered my head: "Your loyalty to the court, I naturally understand it. But... if I just leave like this... he..."

Huo Chuan remained silent for a long time, and said: "Now that Liang Guo hears of this change, he wants to reorganize his army and take advantage of the situation. If the internal worries are not removed, the palace will regenerate mutiny, and the emperor will not be able to ascend the throne smoothly, I am afraid that the territory of Daqing is in danger..." he Knocking his head vigorously: "The emperor has righteousness in his heart, there is Daqing common people, Huo Chuan is happy and sincere, and is willing to give all his assistance...but, the emperor treats the princess too deeply, for a time it is difficult to extricate himself... the ministers... ...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 one after another, and the bang hit my heart like a heavy hammer.

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

Ink clouds billowing in the distance, covering a great sunny day.

After all, it can't meet the fate of heaven.

Not long after the veterans left, the secret guards rushed back. When they saw the assassin in the courtyard, they were so scared that they almost apologized with death. I waved indifferently and asked them to clean up the body first, so as not to cause snakes, mosquitoes, and ants to make it difficult for me to sleep at night.

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

Just when I was about to go to bed early after eating, the door of the house was pushed open hard, and the light was so bright and dark as the wind blew. I saw Song Lang leaning on the doorknob, panting, and coming with a servant.

I was stunned, he had walked to the bed, trembling and embracing me, almost suffocating. I think he heard about the assassin, so he let go of all his desperate hands and rushed forward. I knocked his shoulders with my chin and patted his back lightly, "I'm fine."

For a long time, Song Langsheng let go of his arm around me and tried his best to restrain his voice and keep 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 they came to find me. "Aren't those assassins done by your people?"

He shook his head, probably thinking about my safety, and didn't notice anything wrong with what I said for a while, "I can't go on like this anymore, I can't leave you here alone."

I was stunned. 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, so you left without enthroning, where will you put the people in the world?"

His eyes are full of panic. I have never seen him like this, "What emperor, what world, I almost lost you in order to take care of those... Atang, you are right, the North Korean forces are intertwined, I am standing now. Instability can’t save you at all, all I can do is take you away..."

I looked at him blankly, my throat choked.

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

If such a choice is changed to a loved one, they will naturally choose the former without hesitation. But they have a clear conscience by doing their best, so why should they sacrifice themselves to perfect others? If you are replaced by a benevolent and courageous person with the world, you will have such a belief in your heart, even if your heart is painful, you will never move forward, even if you are lonely in this life.

But Song Langsheng, even he himself did not realize that when he had already decided to take me away in his heart, he was so upset and hesitant.

Because we have experienced so much suffering, because we want to stay together with each other so eagerly. But after all, we couldn't make a decision that violated our conscience before facing the big right and wrong. The more we were afraid, the less dare to face it. In the end, we could only escape. This is the case for me, and the same is true for Song Langsheng.

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

We cannot escape forever, there is always someone who has to make that choice.

Song Langsheng looked at me, as if waiting for my answer. I lowered my head and said, "How did Jing Yan die? Have you forgotten? Father's dying exhortation, have you forgotten? If we just leave like this Several princes and clans in the dynasty will definitely fight for the throne. It is inevitable to see each other inside and outside the capital... And if the rebellion of the dynasty will not come back in advance, let alone whether Liang Guo will break the city after two years of training And when you enter, after that time, Jing Yan’s only flesh and blood will definitely not be able to keep...All the people standing on our side, the queen mother, sister Jiayi, Zhao Shoufu, Yanran, General Huo, Wei Qingheng, Lu Lingjun , Zhang Xianyang and even more people will be implicated, and it may even be difficult to save their lives..."

His lips became whiter and whiter, and I said, "...Even so, do you still want to go?"

Song Langsheng stood up swayingly and knocked down the chair at his feet, "Who taught you to say these things? I don't want to hear you say these, this is not your true heart."

"It's my sincerity," I slowly got up, my heart trembled with pain, "Back then, I would rather die with the city, and this is also true today. I, Xiao Qitang, will not, and will never be able to covet my own life with greed and covetousness. People stand by each other forever."

I waited for him to retort, but he was only stiff for a moment, and suddenly hugged me, as if to rub me into his flesh and blood. I heard him say: "You are not allowed to say such things anymore. I know that no matter what I become, you will like me as always."

Hearing such irresponsible words, I couldn't help but smile, even though tears overflowed my eyes, "Who said, if you are ugly and fat, I will definitely not like you anymore."

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

I knew I couldn’t get away from him, so I lay on his chest like this, and said, “Asheng, actually...Don’t worry about me. Right now, I’m just temporarily away from your side, a little far away from the capital, but no Will make you find me..."

He took a long breath, trembling in his breath, "I don't believe..."

I bit my lip and tried to make a smile, even though he couldn't see it at all: "After you ascend the throne, when you have the emperor's power, if you don't want you to find me, I will come back immediately. What I have said, when will I not do it? Counted..."

"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 some cold moisture on my neck.

I closed my eyes tightly, "Didn't you say that you only have my wife in your life? The same is true for me... Don't worry, I will definitely not remarry..."

This time, he didn't say anything again.

The autumn breeze was slightly cool, and he held it like this for a long time, until the tears were air-dried, and he was reluctant to let go of the other party.

The stars outside the window gradually disappeared, and the black sky became lighter and lighter.

Someone outside the door knocked gently and signaled: "Master, I won't go back again, I'm afraid it will be too late for the enthronement ceremony."

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

He was taken aback for a moment, slowly letting go, and looking at me with his head slightly lowered, 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? You see, I Don’t forget...Shou Xing Duke must be rejoicing, so that everything will come to his mind this year."

He used his finger to open my forehead and stared at me firmly, "My wish is to be with you, and I will rejoice, only with you."

The heart sinks to the bottom. When will such a profound wish be realized?

I said: "It's about to dawn, you don't leave, but you are going to cause me trouble... Since you can't make up your mind, I'll wait for your answer, tonight... I'm here waiting for you to come and spend time together. Birthday, 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.

After a long time, he muttered: "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's not delicious."

Seeing that he still refused to leave, I had to say: "There are too many secret guards outside the house to kill one battalion. If I kill a group of Habayashi guards, I can walk away lightly, okay?"

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

When the sound of horseshoes drifted away, I lowered my head, and the tears that had been holding back for a long time could finally gush out unscrupulously.
