The baby-making system is unreliable

Chapter 54: The Prince in Southern Xinjiang vs. the Princess in Jiangnan (29)

At this moment, the palace maids and eunuchs around were extremely nervous. They didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of breaking the quiet yet eerie atmosphere.

Everyone's face was filled with fear and worry, as if time had stopped.

Looking around, the huge palace was completely silent, and the deathly silence made people feel creepy.

In this dead silence, only the emperor and the virtuous concubine's eyes were intertwined in mid-air. There was endless sadness and deep helplessness in those eyes, as if they were silently confiding something.

Their eyes met, like two lonely stars meeting in the darkness, illuminating each other but unable to embrace each other.

Finally, the emperor couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling: "Have you...really decided?"

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing through the silent night sky and also hurting the hearts of everyone present.

The emperor was in a very complicated mood, full of contradictions and pain. He knew that he could not change the current situation, but he was unwilling to give up easily.

"Does it have to be like this? Where can you go?! Do you know... you have always been the target of everyone's criticism in the harem!!"

He hoped that Concubine Xian would change her mind, but he was afraid to hear the answer that would break his heart.

Concubine Yang nodded firmly, having made up her mind: "Yes, Your Majesty. I have thought about it for a long time, and this is my only choice."

Yang Linyue clearly had no relatives to rely on, but he happened to be the culprit.

"Linyue, thank you for your care and support over the years! I should have been dead a long time ago. I am still alive because of your majesty."

Concubine Yang's eyes flickered, revealing a very complicated emotion. She thought to herself, "Actually, I should have thought of these things earlier..."

"Are you still blaming me? What happened back then was... I... was indeed..."

Bei Cang Huang's voice revealed a hint of helplessness and bitterness. His eyes, which were originally bright and deep, gradually dimmed at this moment.

Yang Linyue's eyes were firm and resolute. She bit her lip tightly and responded without flinching, "Of course, the people who gave birth to me, raised me, and gave me warmth for more than ten years were my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress. And you, Your Majesty, do you think you can compare to them?"

Bei Canghuang's body trembled slightly, as if these words had hurt the softest part of his heart.

He was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly: "But...we...have been together for decades. Don't these days have any meaning to you?"

A trace of pain and contradiction flashed across Yang Linyue's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said firmly: "Love is real, and hate is also real. Perhaps, forgetting each other in the world is the best ending for us."

The emotional entanglement between them can no longer be simply described as love, hate, and resentment.

This is good for everyone, for you, for me, and for her.

"Your Majesty, Queen Shangguan is also a very good person. You haven't looked at her straight in the eye for a long time. You should go back and look at her."

The queen is a virtuous queen and should not be hurt. The feud is an irreparable hatred and should not be forgotten.

"I will let you go. I won't kill you or force you. But please let me go."

The passage of time and the changes in the world have made them both experience too many hardships and tests.

"Lin Yue has no other request, I only ask for one thing from Your Majesty. I still have three children, and now... I just hope they can be safe and sound."

Either leave, or stay, or be an idle person.

I have no intention or strength to struggle anymore.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said with pain: "Okay, I promise you. Since this is your wish, I don't want to force it."

Concubine Yang knelt down again and bowed deeply to the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."

Then she stood up, turned and left, her steps firm and decisive.

The emperor quietly watched her back as she gradually went away, his heart filled with loss and reluctance.

The palace maids and eunuchs around also breathed a sigh of relief. The tense confrontation was finally over.

The emperor slowly closed his eyes and a tear slid down his cheek.

He knew that from now on, her presence would be missing from his life.

After Concubine Yang left, the emperor was alone in the palace, lost in thought.

He recalled every little detail of his past with Concubine Yang. If there had not been those wars, perhaps things would not have developed to this point.

But now everything is irreversible and he can only accept this reality silently.

At the same time, Concubine Yang returned to her own palace. She sat quietly in front of the window, gazing at the beautiful scenery outside the window, but her heart was extremely calm.

She knows she made the right decision, and although the future is full of uncertainties, she has no regrets.

A year later, news spread in the palace that Concubine Yang was seriously ill.

Then, the news of his death spread, and the entire court was immersed in grief.

Only a few people know that Concubine Yang returned to her mother's former residence. Before her mother got married, she had a house near Jiangdu.

Before they left, the couple and several children went to the outskirts of the capital to quietly see them off, and then left the palace. Concubine Xian... no, Lin Yue was also free.

When she left, she gave the complete jade beads to Xiaoyu, and she went on to live her own life.

A few months ago, Li Weiyuan, who was far away in Miaojiang, finally rushed back, only to find out... her mother was fine and had to leave.

As a result, she cried and begged her mother to take her with her. When her mother pestered her to no avail, Nanny Dangui interceded for her, and the three of them set off together.

On the way back, the carriage was quiet, with only the sound of rolling wheels and horse hooves ringing in our ears.

Han Xiuqi sat there, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something important.

Yun Xirou noticed his expression and asked softly, "Are you worried about mother? With Nanny Dangui accompanying you and His Majesty's secret guards protecting you, everything will be fine."

She thought Han Xiuqi was worried about his mother, but she didn't expect that it was their family. Han Xiuqi shook his head, sighed and said, "The matter of the Ministry of Rites is over. I'm wondering what we should do in the future..."

Although the prince temporarily joined forces with them at that time, but... that was because his brother wanted to kill him, which did not mean that he could completely tolerate him.

Yun Yurou was slightly stunned, then she understood. They had been living in the capital, and although they seemed to be very prosperous and no one dared to offend them, their foundation was actually very shallow, and no one would easily become close friends.

She gently held Han Xiuqi's hand and said softly, "Husband, if you feel tired, why don't we go back to Suzhou. That's our hometown. We can open a medicine shop and live a simple life, okay?"

Han Xiuqi turned his head and looked at Yun Xirou, with a touch of emotion in his eyes. He knew that Yun Xirou had always been very considerate and cherished the peaceful and happy life between them.

He nodded, a smile in his eyes, and gently brushed his fingers through the ends of her hair.

"Okay, I'll listen to Madam. When Xiaoyu is older and my seventh brother can find his own place, we will return to Suzhou. We will stay away from all these troubles and live the life we ​​want."

Yun Xirou also laughed, leaned on his shoulder, held his hand tightly, and played with her fingers in thought.

Now that things have been settled, maybe she should consider having more children.

Cough cough cough... Although her body is slowly recovering, Xiaoyu has not yet been weaned.

"Dad...Dad..."

The little guy blinked his big watery eyes and shouted incoherently.

"You little heartless boy, you only know how to call daddy but don't know how to call mommy." Yun Xirou gently pinched the child's face and said coquettishly.

"Mom...mom...eat, milk...milk...I'm hungry..." Xiaoyu mumbled while sucking her fingers.

Yun Xirou couldn't help but laugh, her heart filled with warmth and happiness.

She picked up the child, patted his back gently, and said softly: "Okay, little baby, mother will feed you now."

She had been avoiding Han Xiuqi before, but now she can watch him whenever he wants. Yun Xirou has become immune to it.

The little fellow ate with great relish, humming and making smacking sounds.

As a father, he has a deep gaze and is watching from the side, but no one knows what he is looking at.

Since taking the lactose pills, her milk has become fragrant, sweet and nutritious.

"Hiss... bite me!! You... deserve to be beaten!"

Yun Xirou only felt a pain in her chest, so she slapped her little butt with her left hand and kept some distance from her. This little girl is naughty now that she has grown teeth.

"Forget about eating. You look full!"

"Yeah! She's full! Let Xia Ye coax her to take a nap. I...want to...take a nap with you!"

Having said that, Han Xiuqi carried the child out and turned around to close the door.

"What... do you want to do?!"

This guy is always thinking of something. Who knows what kind of tricks he will come up with to torture her.

"Nap?! She's full, so why don't you give me a taste too!?"

"Hmm! Wait a minute, don't be impatient, let me take my time."

"Hiss...you, are born in the year of the dog!!"

"It's been a long time since you treated me like this. Don't you miss me? I miss you so much that I can't sleep..."

"Uh... um... huh..."

The aroma of milk floated in the air, filling his nostrils. No wonder his daughter loved to eat so much, he liked it too.

"This is...hiss...broad day!! Can you...be more restrained!"

Not only did that person not restrain himself, he also found different ways to tease her, making her shy again and again.

After giving birth, her body was extremely sensitive, and she would eat her daughter's food if touched.

"No, this is... um... our house, there won't be outsiders here."

"What?! You can't do this without outsiders!!"

"Then I'll... change places! We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we feel unfamiliar with each other."

"pain!"

Clothes were scattered all over the floor, and there were soft sobs and the sounds of gurgling breathing.

Ever since the virtuous concubine left, he had nothing to do every day, so he had to...torment her.

The lilies outside the window face the sun, but they are watered by sweet mountain spring water every noon, and grow deeply rooted in this courtyard.

No matter how they make a fuss, when Xiaoyu is hungry, she will definitely look for Yun Xirou.

Sometimes we played too much and when Xiaoyu came to eat, we found that there was no food left.

Yun Xirou would always blush, rub her chest, and glare fiercely at someone standing beside her.

Han Xiuqi smiled awkwardly and asked Xia Ye to prepare some milk or sugar water to feed him first.

……

The emperor's fifth son was exiled three thousand miles away for rebellion. Empress Shangguan was devastated for a while. Who would feel good when one of her own children wanted to kill another?

Over the past year, Empress Shangguan has had a lot more white hair. If the Crown Princess hadn't taken the children to see her often, there's no telling what she would look like.

At this time, one year later, since Concubine Yang left, Your Majesty has been sad for several months and has not been able to calm down for a long time.

Time goes by day after day, and news from old friends from far away comes from time to time.

Three years passed in a blink of an eye. It was said that General He Sui had his second child, a boy, two years younger than Xiaoyu, who has now been born.

It is also said that King Beiyou came out of seclusion and searched everywhere for his mother's whereabouts, but there was no news. The two kings continued to confront each other, and Wu Canjiang and Wu Zihe also faced off.

There was no curse this time and the battle was fierce, but no civilians were harmed, which was also rare.

A few months ago, Li Ruiming traveled to the water towns of Jiangnan and visited his mother.

After he came back, he refused the emperor's request to enter the court and opened a shop in the capital, selling calligraphy and paintings, which was quite casual and relaxed.

In the spring of that year, Yun Xirou became pregnant again. This time she chose random triplets. She felt that longevity was waving to her.

In addition to being busy with children's affairs, Han Xiuqi also took care of the Ministry of Rites' affairs.

At first, the prince was afraid of her, but after a while he discovered that she was visibly anxious to return home.

Apart from taking care of his daughter, he just... puts his arms around his wife's waist, too sweet to let go.

"Husband, I have already counted the supplies prepared this time. Sixth sister insisted on escorting me this time, so I agreed to let her go."

Yun Xirou sat in the yard, enjoying the cool of the summer sun, touching her obviously bulging belly.

Since I'm free anyway, I might as well do something. These few days I've been counting the supplies to be sent to Miaojiang.

"Ah...let her be! After she killed that bastard, it was thanks to Wu Canjiang that she was comforted."

The thing is, that year, Li Weiyuan should have returned to Beijing long ago, but who would have thought that the brother Chang she had been thinking about approaching her was premeditated.

That person was actually sent by Wuzihe to the Central Plains to gather intelligence.

Li Weiyuan didn't believe it at first, but she saw it with her own eyes. Then, by chance, she met Wu Canjiang, and the two of them got to know each other and gradually became familiar with each other.

"Daddy, Mommy!" Yun Xirou looked at her daughter in front of her, who was covered in mud and looked like a little clay figure, and felt helpless.

"Where have you been, kid? You're covered in mud. Look at yourself. You don't look like a girl at all!" She frowned, with a hint of blame in her tone.

"Yes, Xiaoyu, go clean yourself up quickly. Your sister He is only four years older than you, and she doesn't play in the mud like you do all day long."
