Rebirth with my ex-husband

Chapter 78

Su Yun helped Gu Shixing back to the yard and let him lie on the bed where she slept before she got married.

After giving him a simple wash, he actually pulled her into his arms and asked her to rest with him.

Su Yun had no way to deal with the drunk Gu Shixing, so she just gave in to him.

I slept until the evening, and was woken up by someone in the front yard calling me for dinner.

After dinner, everyone returned to their own courtyards.

When the couple walked outside the courtyard, Gu Shixing told the servants not to follow them, then he held the lantern, took Su Yun's hand and walked into the alley.

After turning the corner and finding no one around, Su Yun asked, "Do you really want to revisit this place?"

Gu Shixing smiled lightly: "I want to."

The two walked through the alley and arrived in front of the Begonia Courtyard.

The crabapple tree outside the crabapple courtyard has been in bloom for several months and is now bearing fruit. There are scattered red fruits on the ground, and a faint sweet and sour fruit fragrance is wafting through the alley, the fragrance is lingering.

After entering the courtyard, walking along the cobblestone path and coming to the stone table, Gu Shixing placed the lantern on the table and turned to look at Su Yun.

"The last time I came here to look for you was last year. I thought I would never come here again." His tone was full of regret.

"I never thought that I would come here with my husband, and come here so openly."

Su Yun recalled the private meeting with him last year. At that time, she really rejected him decisively, but who could have thought that fate would play tricks on her and she would end up back to square one.

Gu Shixing took her into his arms, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and whispered, "The last time we met here, you pointed out my shortcomings. I didn't sleep all night."

Su Yun thought, it shouldn't be because she listed his shortcomings that made him unable to sleep all night, maybe it was because of her words "you can't live a good life" that made him toss and turn in bed?

Naturally, Su Yun didn't dare to say this. After all, since the two of them gradually let go of that matter, he had been working too hard. Every time when the passion reached a climax, he seemed to be angry and wanted to ask her again - "Did you feel comfortable this time?"

If she shook her head, he would "work harder."

Su Yun was really scared, so how could he dare to tell the truth?

The couple didn't stay in the yard for too long. They went back after just a while.

Su Yun and Gu Shixing stayed in the Su Mansion for one night. Because Gu Shixing and Qi Junjin had to be on duty the next day, the two couples prepared to return home early.

It was just dawn, and Su Yun was a little sleepy, but she managed not to yawn and remained dignified. But Su Yuyan was different. She kept rubbing her eyes, leaning against her husband from time to time, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you going back so early?"

Qi Junjin said patiently, "Get on the carriage and continue sleeping."

Then he helped her onto the carriage, then turned around and bowed to Gu Shixing: "Then we'll go first."

Gu Shixing nodded and waited for them to go ahead before helping Su Yun get on the carriage.

After the two couples left, Madam Liu and her son sighed, "Fortunately, you enlightened me at the beginning. Yuyan is indeed not suitable to marry into a wealthy family. Now that she is free from so many constraints, no one will say anything if she is willful. She also has a son-in-law who pampers her and guides her in a good direction. She has become much less irritable these few times she has come back."

At this point, he talked about Su Yun again: "Sixth girl has a steady personality, so she is suitable to be the mistress of a high-ranking family."

Su Changqing looked at the departing carriage and nodded in agreement.

When Su Yun and Gu Shixing returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Mo Tai informed the Crown Prince of the news that the spies had found out.

It is said that the eldest prince went to the palace at noon yesterday, and has not left the palace yet. It seems that he has stayed in a side hall of the Dayuan Palace all night.

Gu Shixing also told Su Yun about this.

While helping Gu Shixing put on his official uniform, Su Yun said in dissatisfaction, "It's not the coldest time of the year, how can he be frozen all night like this?"

Gu Shixing smiled lightly: "Even if it's not the coldest time of the year, being left in a side hall for a night should have chilled my heart to the core."

When Su Yun was putting the belt around his waist, he suddenly remembered something and asked seriously, "Is your period over?"

Su Yun was buckling her waist belt. When she heard his words, she raised her head and glared at him. Then she threw off his waist belt with one hand and said in a bad tone, "Do it yourself."

This person is so indecent!

Gu Shixing glanced at her, his eyes were gentle and he smiled faintly, then he lowered his arms and continued to slowly work on the waist belt that she had only tied halfway.

Su Yun took off his coat and got on the couch.

It's still early now, and she doesn't need to pay respects to her mother-in-law today, so she plans to take a nap.

Gu Shixing fastened his waist belt, then lifted his robe slightly and sat on the edge of the bed, pulling the thin quilt over her.

"You and I spent last night at the Su residence, and mother must be worrying too much. She will definitely send more tonic soup tonight, and the dosage will be increased." At this point, he slowed down his tone: "It's better to let mother relax as soon as possible, and I don't have to drink that tonic soup anymore."

Su Yun glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then said unhappily, "Let's go."

A smile appeared in Gu Shixing's eyes, and his voice was as deep as flowing water, flowing into Su Yun's ears: "Wait until I come back after the shift."

The words are meaningful.

Then he stood up, let down the curtain, and left the room.

Coming out of the house, Gu Shixing always had a faint smile on his face.

When Mo Tai saw the prince's smile, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as expected, the cold and aloof prince in the past just lacked a wife. Look at him now, where is the shadow of his previous cold and aloofness?

It's like being soaked in a jar of honey every day, which is really enviable.

Mo Tai also wants to marry a young wife and live a sweet and happy life with her.

At noon, Gu Shixing was summoned into the palace.

After entering the palace and getting off the carriage, he took only a few steps when he met Li Ji, who had not slept all night and had not had a drop of water for a whole day and night, in the palace alley.

Although Li Ji had a handsome appearance, he looked haggard after such a night. His clean-shaven face and the blue stubble on his chin made him look even more dishevelled.

The two men were two or three feet apart, but their eyes seemed to contain a hint of competition.

The two men approached and stopped side by side. Li Ji lowered his eyelids to hide his sinister look and whispered, "You were the one who did what happened to Prince Dinghuai."

There is no doubt, it is a certain tone.

"Whether it is or not, and what the reason is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows it well." Gu Shixing's eyes were clear and his face was cold.

After saying that, he took a step and walked in the opposite direction.

Li Ji clenched his fists slightly.

It is undeniable that there was a reason why he sent someone to send the Su family's concubine to Gu Shixing's bed a year ago.

The first was to prevent Gu Shixing from marrying into a prominent family, the second was jealousy, and the third was impulse.

He is nearly ten years older than the prince, so there is nothing to compare them to, but he is only a few years older than Gu Shixing.

Before Gu Shixing returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he was the most outstanding student in the Imperial College, and he always topped the list in every examination.

But after Gu Shixing entered the Imperial College, his brilliance was overshadowed. Gu Shixing seemed to always easily rank first in various academic subjects, and he, who once topped the list, ended up being second every time, which became a joke.

Later, he took her as a concubine. He always knew that she had someone she loved, but he didn't know who that person was until a year ago when he found out that person was Gu Shixing from the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion.

At that time, I came up with such a sinister idea on impulse.

He was caught in bed with his wife and had to marry a concubine's daughter who had a bad reputation and was not very favored.

"Your Highness, it's time to go." The eunuch beside him reminded Li Ji when he saw that he was slow to move.

Li Ji came back to his senses and then took a step forward.

After leaving the palace and returning to his mansion, Li Ji went to the West Garden.

When Concubine Chen saw Li Ji, she was surprised and anxious and asked what had happened.

Li Ji looked at her in silence.

Concubine Chen was frightened by his gaze. She asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me."

During all this, Li Ji did not come to the West Garden. She pretended to be sick several times but he still did not show up. She heard that he had been staying in the East Garden with the imperial concubine and the young county lady.

Upon hearing these things, Concubine Chen became anxious. Wasn't it said that the imperial concubine had a miscarriage in these days? Why is there no news yet?

Li Ji looked at her for a long time before asking, "Tell me the truth. When you mentioned Gu Shixing several times, did you want me to help you deal with him?"

Two years ago, the Chen family was implicated and the concubine's father was imprisoned, and the person who handled the case was Gu Shixing.

Concubine Chen's heart suddenly trembled, and even her face revealed a bit of shock. She asked with a stiff expression: "I don't understand what Your Highness is talking about..."

Li Ji saw through her clues. He suddenly felt that the beloved woman in front of him was very strange, as if he had never known her before and he only knew a thin surface.

He said nothing and turned and left Xiyuan.

Leaving behind the frightened Concubine Chen.

After coming out of the West Garden, Li Ji went to the East Garden with a heavy heart.

Yesterday, his father summoned him to the palace, and Prince Dinghuai was also there.

Prince Dinghuai investigated his affairs and bluntly pointed out his feud with Gu Shixing in the hall.

First, there were those years when he was competing for the Imperial College. Later, he found out from somewhere that his concubine had once loved Gu Shixing, and directly pointed out that he had used despicable tricks for a woman, and instigated his concubine's brother to get close to his son. He also pointed out that there was a beautiful girl in the Su Mansion, and instigated his son to propose marriage. When the proposal failed, he instigated him to kidnap the girl and destroy his innocence.

Prince Dinghuai blamed all the faults on Li Ji.

My father detained him in the palace and sent the Imperial Guards to investigate.

This morning, the news came back. Chen Minglang was afraid and said truthfully that he was approached by Liang Yong under the order of his brother-in-law, but he only admitted that he had mentioned the Su family girl in front of Liang Yong, who was now the wife of the prince of the Zhongyi Marquis's mansion. He also mentioned that it was great for a concubine's daughter to be a concubine, but he definitely did not instigate the act of kidnapping.

It was because Chen Minglang refused to admit the act of kidnapping that Li Ji was able to leave the palace today.

But the punishment has not yet been determined. But the emperor asked him not to leave the house for the time being, which was equivalent to confining him.

Furthermore, now we are only saying that it was done out of jealousy rather than a fight for power, so the punishment should not be too severe.

When Li Ji arrived at the East Garden, he was overwhelmed by fatigue.

When I entered the imperial concubine's room, I found that the imperial physician was taking the imperial concubine's pulse.

Li Ji asked the maid outside: "What's going on?"

The maid replied according to what the imperial concubine had told her: "I heard that His Highness has not come out of the palace yet. The imperial concubine has been worried all night. Today, he feels very uncomfortable and keeps complaining of stomachache, so I asked the imperial physician for help."

When the imperial physician heard the eldest prince's voice, his eyes rolled slightly, and then he pretended to be frightened, stood up and saluted towards Li Ji.

"How is the imperial concubine?" Li Ji asked.

The imperial physician's voice trembled slightly: "Reporting to Your Highness, the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine has been pregnant for more than a month."

Hearing this, Xie Yiran glanced outside with a slightly cold look in his eyes.

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, remembering that his wife would never get pregnant again. Then when he heard that his wife was pregnant, his expression gradually changed from astonishment to joy.

But before she could rejoice, she heard the imperial physician say, "But the imperial concubine is weak and her pulse is extremely weak. The child cannot be saved."

Li Ji's face darkened at that moment.

The imperial physician added: "If we continue to keep this child, when the baby grows older, it will definitely endanger the life of the imperial concubine. For the sake of the imperial concubine's life, it is better to abort it as soon as possible."

When Li Ji heard this, his already haggard face turned even paler.

Suddenly a weak voice came from the inner room: "Doctor Liu, are you sure I've been pregnant for more than a month?"

She was clearly three months pregnant, but this imperial physician with ulterior motives said that she was only a month pregnant. Half a month was missing for no reason. Ha.

The imperial physician turned around and bowed slightly to Li Jian: "I am sure."

Xie Yiran clenched his hands into fists under the quilt.

It turned out that they wanted to use this method to make her have an abortion - first they made her take the Five Elements Herb, which would not only cause an abortion but in serious cases would also cause lifelong infertility or even endanger her life. Then when she became weak, they would tell her that she was pregnant and persuade her to have an abortion.

If she hadn't stopped taking the medicine earlier, she wouldn't have had to ask him to abort the baby. I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to keep the baby in her belly.
