assassin

The wind returns to the small courtyard and the courtyard is verdant, and the willow eyes continue in spring.

Si Huaning took his aunt's big hand, and padded his feet to reach the white crabapple on the flower branch.

"Hua Ning." A powerful voice sounded from behind.

Si Huaning withdrew his hand, placed it in front of his belly and bowed, "Hua Ning pays respects to Father."

"See Your Majesty." Li Xifan also saluted.

"Zi Tong please get up." Si Lixiao didn't look at the queen at all, and stepped forward to hug her daughter into his arms, "Does Hua Ning miss his father?"

Si Huaning nodded obediently.

"You really are my father's obedient daughter." Si Lixiao lifted the little child high, and hugged her back into his arms again.

Li Xifan looked at Si Lixiao silently. This man's complexion was surprisingly rosy, and the meridians on his arms were also arched abnormally, just like the former emperor before his sudden death.

"When did His Majesty come back? How is Concubine Qin doing now?" Li Xifan asked softly.

Si Lixiao looked very excited, "I came back this morning, Concubine Qin is now eight months pregnant, I will pick some experienced imperial doctors and midwives back when I come back."

Li Xifan pursed his lips and smiled, "Concubine Qin deserves His Majesty's mercy, and I will thank Your Majesty on behalf of Concubine Qin."

Si Lixiao didn't have much affection for this wife, he nodded casually and walked forward with Si Huaning in his arms.

"Where did Hua Ning's "Book of Filial Piety" get memorized these days when the emperor is not here?" Si Lixiao looked at the daughter in his arms and asked.

Si Huaning has a good memory, and he blurted out immediately: "The Master said: 'A filial son is for his relatives. He lives to show respect, raises him to be happy, gets sick to worry, mourns to mourn, and sacrifices to him. Strict. The five things are ready, and then you can be a relative.'”

"Does Hua Ning know what this means?" Si Lixiao sat on the stone bench with his daughter in his arms.

Si Huaning tilted his head, and said: "Confucius said: 'A filial son serves his parents, he should be respectful in his daily life, and let them eat happily; a filial son will be sad when his parents are sick; A filial son must be solemn and respectful. Only when these five things have been done can he fulfill his responsibilities.'”

"Hua Ning is so smart." Si Lixiao patted his daughter's head, "Then who does Hua Ning know who should be filial to?"

"Royal father, queen mother," Si Hua Ning pointed with his little fingers, "There is also grandpa and grandma."

"What else?" Si Lixiao hugged the child a little tighter.

"Anything else?" Si Huaning looked at his father puzzledly, and then at his own fingers.

Si Lixiao's face darkened, and his voice was a bit chilly, "Who else?"

Although Si Huaning understood that his father was displeased, he didn't know why, and sat nervously in Si Lixiao's arms and looked at his mother.

"Hua Ning," Li Xi hurriedly reminded, "Hua Ning still has a 'father'."

Si Huaning suddenly realized, "Oh, Hua Ning has to be filial to his father."

The frost on Si Lixiao's face left with Dongri, and said with a smile: "By the way, father misses Hua Ning every day, how can Hua Ning be forgotten?"

Si Huaning pinched his fingers, pouted and did not answer.

"Hua Ning hasn't seen his father for many days, I'm afraid he even forgot what his father looks like." Si Lixiao picked up his daughter and stood on his lap, "How about father taking Hua Ning to see father?"

Li Xifan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly persuaded him, "Your Majesty, Concubine Qin is about to give birth, and taking Hua Ning there is bound to tie her hands and feet. It's better to take Hua Ning there after Concubine Qin gives birth."

Si Lixiao looked at his daughter whose eyes were full of innocence, and frowned slightly, "It's okay."

Li Xifan breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Si Lixiao was so addicted to Fu Ziqin, it also cleared many obstacles for their great cause of revenge.

"Does Hua Ning know that father is going to give birth to a younger brother?" Si Lixiao hugged the child and sat down again.

Si Huaning turned his head to look at his father, and nodded ignorantly.

"When my father gave birth to my younger brother, my father will take Hua Ning to see them." Si Lixiao's eyes were full of smiles.

"Okay." Si Huaning nodded.

Si Lixiao hugged the child tightly, and finally looked at his queen, "Is it safe in the palace recently?"

"Except for Concubine Jing's occasional troubles in the harem, the rest are fine." Li Xifan said seriously, "It's just that the queen mother seems to be plagued by wind and evil, and she still hasn't recovered after half a month."

"The mother's mother has always been seriously ill, so there's no telling if it's good or not." Si Lixiao's face was as cold as ice.

"Yes, I know I was wrong." Li Xifan bowed.

"Let the imperial doctor let go of the medicine," Si Lixiao stroked his daughter's long hair, "Let her live."

Li Xifan's eyes sank, and he bowed again, "Yes, I understand."

After staying in the palace for two days, Si Lixiao hurried back to the northern suburbs palace, with the mighty guards and attendants and the imperial doctor and midwife behind him.

Fu Ziqin didn't see any guards, but the number of them was shocking.

"Why did you bring so many people here?" Fu Ziqin asked in surprise.

"You are about to give birth, and these servants are here to take care of you and the child." Si Lixiao looked at Fu Ziqin's bulging belly.

Fu Ziqin was a little embarrassed, and pulled his outer shirt to slightly cover his lower abdomen, "Why do you need so much?"

"It's necessary," Si Lixiao raised his eyebrows, "When you were born in Hua Ning, it was because there were fewer people that you were in a hurry."

Thinking of the previous experience, Fu Ziqin sighed slightly.

"Yesterday, I went back to the palace to meet Hua Ning. I have finished memorizing the "Thousand Character Classic" and "Three Character Classic", and I am now reciting the "Book of Filial Piety." Si Lixiao's tone showed off.

Fu Ziqin was a little surprised, a child of three or four years old could memorize so many things, really clever.

"When I got it back, I said: 'A filial son is a matter of family,'" Si Lixiao shook his head and said authentically, "Hua Ning also said that in the future, he must honor his father, queen mother, and father."

Fu Ziqin smiled softly, but then felt a little regretful.In the past, it was fine if he was outside the palace, but now he couldn't even go for Hua Ning's birthday. Thinking about it, he really is a dereliction of duty father.

Si Lixiao didn't seem to notice Fu Ziqin's loss, he took out two pieces of rice paper from his sleeve and put them on the table, and said, "Come and see."

"What?" Fu Ziqin stretched his head over, and saw the four big characters Youyun startled the dragon printed on it, "Yi Ang, Zhiyi?"

"If you are a prince in your womb, he is my crown prince, Si Yiang." Si Lixiao pointed to another name, "If you are a prince, it is Princess Zhiyi."

Fu Ziqin looked at the two names and put his palms on his stomach.

How can he let go of this?It is obviously a child who must be removed, why should he name it, so that he will never forget it in the future.

"What's wrong?" Si Lixiao asked.

Fu Ziqin reluctantly curled the corner of his mouth, "I just think it's a good name."

"The name I chose is naturally good." Si Lixiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Fu Ziqin lowered his eyelids, and the black words on the white paper stabbed his pupils like sharp knives.

They are enemies.

Even if he gave birth to Hua Ning, even if the child in his womb already had a name.

They are still enemies.

Fu Ziqin sat by the bathtub, tremblingly opening the pure white porcelain bottle.

"Qishang, will he die soon?" Fu Ziqin looked at the bottle and asked in a low voice.

Zuo Qishang on the side looked indifferent, "The emperor has been deeply poisoned now, and he will drive west in about one or two more times."

Fu Ziqin swallowed, poured the medicine into his hands, and smeared it on his body avoiding his bulging stomach.Until even his toes were covered with the scent of jasmine, Fu Ziqin got up and dressed awkwardly with Zuo Qishang's support.

Being helped into the bedroom, Fu Ziqin sat on the couch with difficulty.Si Lixiao took off his outer shirt for him, and looked at the bloodshot belly exposed from under the jacket, "This child looks a little bigger."

"The baby is always this big when it's about to give birth, you don't worry too much." Fu Ziqin lay down holding his stomach.

The palace man put down the bed curtain, and Si Lixiao lay down beside Fu Ziqin, touched his stomach and said, "Let the imperial doctor take another look at it tomorrow."

Seeing that he couldn't make sense with him, Fu Ziqin could only say, "It's up to you."

Si Lixiao smiled and stroked his stomach for a while, then lay on his side and closed his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't do anything, Fu Ziqin was a little taken aback.

A lantern was burning in the bedroom at night, and only a dim yellow could be seen through the bed curtain.Si Lixiao's breathing was long and smooth, and although he didn't seem to be asleep, he was still motionless.

Fu Ziqin hugged his stomach and moved towards him, but the man turned his back to him instead.

This is not possible, Fu Ziqin made up his mind to find Si Lixiao's hand.Si Lixiao held his palm instead, and said, "Don't make trouble, I don't want you to get pregnant."

Fu Ziqin felt the bulkiness on his stomach, and felt a little anxious.In the future, the child will only get bigger and bigger, and Si Lixiao probably doesn't want to touch him even more.

"Si Lixiao..." Fu Ziqin called his name with a muffled sound, like a stream flowing slowly in a cave.

Si Lixiao finally turned around, exhaling hot air, "I kindly let you go, but you are lucky, you have to ask for it."

After finishing speaking, he turned over at once, covering Fu Ziqin emptyly.

It was obvious that he was the one who seduced first, but Fu Ziqin looked very cautious, closing his eyes and allowing Si Lixiao to take off his shirt.

Si Lixiao put his palm on his stomach, and through a layer of flesh, their child seemed to stretch out his fist and greeted his father.

This kind of warmth made Fu Ziqin's nose ache. If they were just ordinary couples, living with Hua Ning and their second child in a peaceful and peaceful place like a paradise, how wonderful it would be.

Si Lixiao let go of his hands and lowered his head, Fu Ziqin immediately scrambled like an eel.

"What's the matter?" Si Lixiao's voice could not hear any joy or anger.

"It's nothing." Fu Ziqin tried his best to suppress the trembling in his voice.

Si Lixiao kissed his swollen belly, and Fu Ziqin felt so lucky.However, the man immediately kissed his collarbone again, licking and gnawing there gently.

Fu Ziqin's whole body was as stiff as a wood-plastic clay sculpture. Si Lixiao had had enough kisses, so he suddenly propped himself up, and wanted to kiss Fu Ziqin's lips.

Seeing Si Lixiao's face getting closer, Fu Ziqin suddenly closed his lips and turned his head.

"Why did my concubine avoid it?" Si Lixiao covered Fu Ziqin with a cold gleam in his eyes.

Fu Ziqin's breathing became disordered and he dared not answer a single word.

Si Lixiao straightened up, "It seems that my concubine also knows that taking this medicine can kill someone."

Fu Ziqin was shocked, and looked at the soft-spoken man just now in disbelief.

Si Lixiao looked at him condescendingly, just like the night of another assassination, the corners of his mouth were full of sinister and mocking smiles.
