assassin

On a snowy night, he was wrapped in a jacket and walked aimlessly in the boundless whiteness.

His child, his admiration, but a cup of poisoned wine has vanished into nothingness.From then on, the whole life was turned upside down and fell into the endless underworld.

There was the sound of horseshoes not far away, Fu Ziqin looked over and saw a man with a face like a crown jade coming down from the carriage.

"I am Cheng Yuting, the son of Taoyuan patriarch," the human said, "Xi Fan asked me to pick you up."

Open your eyes, it's dark.

Fu Ziqin stood up, and saw a black silhouette beside him.

By the way, Si Lixiao came over last night.

Fu Ziqin clutched his painful forehead, got up, took out a pill from the green jade cabbage and took it.

Back on the couch, but was suddenly pulled into the quilt, "Where did you go?"

"Go and drink some water." Fu Ziqin moved uneasily.

Si Lixiao didn't know if he was tired from the long journey, so he fell asleep slowly while holding Fu Ziqin in his arms.

Fu Ziqin stared at the darkness above, feeling uneasy.

Although it is safer to leave the palace, but also cut off contact with the queen.I don't know the progress over there for a whole month, which really makes people anxious.

When he woke up the next day, there was no one around him. Fu Ziqin got up, dressed and washed, and the emperor was sipping tea and looking at flowers in the outer hall.

"When autumn comes and September [-]th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom." Si Lixiao put down the teacup, smiled and looked at the person behind him, "In autumn, only Yiju is left to be seen."

Fu Ziqin glanced at all kinds of autumn chrysanthemums, and silently stood beside Si Lixiao.

Si Lixiao pulled him closer and said, "Why don't you want to talk to me?"

If he said too much and made mistakes, he would naturally shut up as soon as he could, so as not to hurt others.

"Have you eaten too early?" Si Lixiao asked while playing with Fu Ziqin's fingers.

"Not yet." Fu Ziqin replied.

Si Lixiao pulled the man to sit down, and ordered: "Bring the meal to Concubine Qin."

The palace lady responded, and after a while, walnut sticks, golden cake rolls and red bean porridge were placed on the table.

"Your Majesty, have you eaten?" Fu Ziqin asked.

"I've eaten." Si Lixiao replied.

Only then did Fu Ziqin dare to start, and after eating a little, he asked the maid to clean up.

"Aifei has a bad appetite recently?" Si Lixiao asked based on a few questions.

"Yes." Fu Ziqin nodded.

Si Lixiao raised his eyebrows, not knowing what he was planning.

"My concubine has been away from the palace for more than a month, but do you miss Hua Ning?" Si Lixiao asked with a light smile.

Fu Ziqin was taken aback, "Hua Ning is raised by the empress, so I can rest assured."

"I met Hua Ning a few days ago." Si Lixiao picked up the tea and shook it slightly, "The empress is teaching her to read a thousand-character essay."

Thinking of his little daughter sitting in Li Xifan's arms, reciting "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" word by word, Fu Ziqin smiled faintly.

As if suddenly thinking of something, Fu Ziqin asked: "Have you chosen the princess who will marry Tuyuhun?"

Si Lixiao was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed.At that time, he was just scaring this person, but he didn't expect him to remember it until today.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Fu Ziqin was rather anxious, "Have you chosen?"

"Confess Yu Shi Zhongcheng's daughter as a princess, and she will marry her next spring." Si Lixiao replied.

Fu Ziqin took a long breath secretly, and sat motionless on the yellow rosewood chair.

"My concubine misses Hua Ning so much, why don't I pick her up in a few days and live in the northern suburbs palace for a few days." Si Lixiao said.

"Really?" Fu Ziqin had anticipation in his eyes.

"Naturally." Si Lixiao replied, raised the teacup and took a sip, with a hint of evil in the corner of his eyes.

Si Lixiao lived in the northern suburbs palace for a few days and then went back to the palace to handle government affairs. Knowing that he would be free for a while, Fu Ziqin took a solid sleep.

In the early morning, Fu Ziqin opened his eyes in a dull pain, only to feel that the world was spinning before his eyes, and his stomach was churning endlessly.

Fu Ziqin wanted to get up, but his palms slipped out of the edge of the bed uncontrollably, and his whole body fell down.

"Niang Niang!" Yufeng heard the sound and pushed the door open.

After days of dizziness and retching this morning, Fu Ziqin suddenly tore a hole in his brain, buzzing like a buzzing sound.

"Get out!" Fu Ziqin yelled in a low voice.

"Your Majesty?" Yufeng was puzzled, "Your Majesty is not feeling well, do you want to announce the Imperial Physician into the palace?"

"No, you go out first!" Fu Ziqin shrank back onto the couch with difficulty.

"But..." Yufeng hesitated for a moment before leaning forward and saying, "Yes."

After closing the door, Fu Ziqin quickly clasped three fingers on the pulse.His pulse was a little quicker because of his anxiety, but it didn't seem to be continuous.

Fu Ziqin was still uneasy, he couldn't figure out the pulse, maybe he was not pregnant, maybe it was just that the fetus was not yet full moon.But he has been taking medicine these days, so he should be fine.

After calming his breath, Fu Ziqin lay down on the bed, took out the paper bag from the bottom tray of the green jade cabbage, opened it, and looked at it hesitantly.

One pill of this medicine is contraceptive, and taking five pills will have the effect of abortion.

Fu Ziqin pressed his lower abdomen with one hand, and couldn't feel any difference under the tense muscles.If there really is a child of Si Lixiao here, it must be removed immediately.But this is also his child, conceived in his womb like Hua Ning, and slowly growing up after being born.

Shivering as if falling into an ice cellar, Fu Ziqin picked up five pills from the paper bag and slowly brought them to his lips.

Maybe, it will be a child like Hua Ning... a child who can laugh, dance, and read a thousand-character essay while nestling in his arms.

"Only the dead will not leave me." Si Lixiao's ferocious smile crashed into Chaos' mind.

No...he will never repeat the same mistakes.

Fu Ziqin ruthlessly threw all five pills into his mouth.

The dry bitter taste lingered in his throat for a long time, and Fu Ziqin sat down on the wooden stool next to him as if exhausted.

If you are really my child, it is better to die than to be separated from you.

Although there was no sign of confinement that day, since then Fu Ziqin would retch every time he woke up, Yufeng had no choice but to send someone to report to the emperor, and the next day Si Lixiao took the imperial doctor to the northern suburbs palace in a murderous manner.

When Fu Ziqin saw Imperial Physician Qian, he couldn't help feeling cold. When he was still in the womb of the Ten Emperors, it was this imperial physician who diagnosed him as pregnant.Now that the emperor brought this person, I don't know if there is any doubt.

Seeing Fu Ziqin's ruddy complexion, Si Lixiao glanced at Yufeng and said, "Doctor Qian, take a look for him."

Doctor Qian put down the medicine box and took out the pulse pillow, and said respectfully: "My lady, please."

Fu Ziqin put his wrist on, and the slightly cold fingers of Imperial Physician Qian made him shiver a little.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Doctor Qian opened and closed his lips that were as dry and wrinkled as straw paper.

Fu Ziqin became even more anxious when he heard it, and his pulse became more and more disordered.

"How long has your empress been vomiting in the morning?" Physician Qian asked.

"Just five or six days." Fu Ziqin replied.

"What kind of food did you eat recently?" Doctor Qian asked again.

Yufeng immediately presented the recent recipes, and Imperial Physician Qian frowned slightly, and finally let go of his fingers.

"How?" Si Lixiao asked anxiously.

"Young lady's pulse condition is stable and there is no serious problem, vomiting for days is probably due to taking unclean things." Doctor Qian put away the pulse pillow and said, "This minister will prescribe some medicine for your lady."

Only then did Fu Ziqin feel a little relieved, the imperial doctor didn't find out that he was happy, so he should be worrying unfoundedly.

Doctor Qian went down to prescribe a prescription, and Si Lixiao followed.

"Doctor Qian, is Concubine Qin all right?" Si Lixiao still asked unrelentingly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual about your majesty's pulse." Doctor Qian was also puzzled, "Your Majesty is just retching, she is not sleepy, thirsty, or addicted to sour and spicy food, and I dare not judge in vain."

Si Lixiao gritted his back teeth, his face darkened.

"If the empress still suffers from morning sickness after taking the medicine," Imperial Physician Qian added, "Nine times out of ten, she is pregnant."

"Really?" A gleam flashed in Si Lixiao's eyes, and he asked again: "Is the medicine you prescribed harmful to the fetus?"

"Your Majesty, put it down," Imperial Doctor Qian heard that the emperor seemed to have concluded that Concubine Qin was pregnant with a child, so he had no choice but to follow along: "Your Majesty, wait a few more days. If the empress is really happy, the pulse will naturally appear."

Not long after Si Lixiao returned to the main hall, Fu Ziqin's heart was raised again.

"Don't worry," Si Lixiao sat down next to Fu Ziqin, hugged him into his arms and said, "Nothing happened."

He also didn't want any major events to happen, Fu Ziqin secretly thought.

"What have you eaten recently?" Si Lixiao asked.

Yufeng handed the prepared menu to the emperor again, Si Lixiao looked at it, and said: "Well, these dishes should not be served again."

"Yes." Yufeng blessed Fushen and took the recipe back.

"Apart from morning sickness, what else is uncomfortable?" Si Lixiao patted the person in his arms and said softly.

Fu Ziqin was taken aback for a moment, as if he had returned to the heartless days when he was still pregnant with Hua Ning.No one in Si Chao knew how Taoyuan men gave birth to children, and he didn't have much memory when he was far away from his hometown.Si Lixiao wraps himself around him every day when he has nothing to do, either looking at his belly curiously, or hugging him in his arms to ask him how he is.

At that time, even though he refused to admit it, his whole body was greedy for the tenderness and care of the young man.As the fetus grew up, that greed also turned into affection, entwining him in every thread.

"No discomfort." Fu Ziqin said lightly.Now this embrace is wide enough and strong enough, but he no longer dares to indulge in it comfortably and forget himself.

After taking the medicine twice during the day, Fu Ziqin felt dizzy and fell asleep early.Si Lixiao still stayed in the northern suburbs palace, but at night he uncharacteristically allowed Fu Ziqin to sleep soundly.

Si Lixiao woke up before it was dark, and sat aside watching Fu Ziqin breathe evenly.Normally, this scene would always make people anxious, but today he has to wait, and wait for a result he wants.

Fu Ziqin went to bed early, but got up late, and it was only after dawn that he wriggled around the quilt with his hands and feet.

"Ziqin, Ziqin?" Si Lixiao called his name in a low voice.

Fu Ziqin frowned, and waved away the man whispering in his ear.

"Get up, it's dawn." Si Lixiao still didn't give up.

Fu Ziqin opened his eyes and sat up in a daze.

"What do you think?" Si Lixiao went to look for Fu Ziqin's eyes.

Fu Ziqin turned sleepily and stared at him blankly for a while, then grabbed the edge of the bed and began to retch again.

Si Lixiao was taken aback for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth rose.He reached out and patted Fu Ziqin's back, his voice was like spring water, "It's okay, it will be fine soon."
