Pluto's Golden Apple

Li Yan stared anxiously at the imperial doctor, afraid that he might say something that would be difficult for him to accept.

The imperial doctor immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is pregnant."

Both Li Yan and Cui'er were stunned.

It took Li Yan a long time to realize that he has another child?Cui'er felt a burst of heartache, if the empress woke up and knew the result, would she seek death and life?

"Hahahahaha, good! Good, it's really double happiness. Yao'er is going to get married, and I'm going to be a father again, hahahahahaha." Li Yan laughed loudly, in his opinion, he is the happiest person in the world up.

"The order will be passed on, and I will reward you heavily. I will reward the imperial doctor and maid Cui'er with a hundred taels of gold. Besides, Cui'er, you go outside and call Ye An to me. I will make Concubine Xian a noble concubine." Li Yan's face was full of joy, That kind of happiness seems to be overflowing.

Jue Leng was still immersed in the joy of escaping with Huanrou, Li Qianyue brought her a bowl of tea: "Drink it, don't wait until you get out, you have already exhausted your body." Already." Jue Leng took the bowl of water with a smile.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the extremely cold bedroom, Li Qianyue frowned, and went out to find out what happened.Li Qianyue couldn't open her frown until she heard that Concubine Xian was pregnant.She couldn't imagine what kind of expression she would have when Jue Leng knew about it.

"Boom." A sound made Li Qianyue turn around, and the teacup in Jue Leng's hand had already slipped.

Looking at her face again, it was so pale that there was no trace of color left.Not only did his face turn pale in an instant, even the color of his lips seemed to become dim in an instant.

"Jie Leng," Li Qianyue carefully supported Jue Leng. Of course, she knew how much this incident would bring to Jue Leng, but she felt that she was not Jue Leng, and she couldn't feel the pain and despair that penetrated into the bone marrow. .

At that moment, Jue Leng felt that all the good things and all the expectations seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her.She often wondered if she had done anything wrong in her previous life, why did she have to work so hard to love Huanrou in this life?

"Let's go in and talk, shall we?" Li Qianyue was afraid that Jue Leng would not be able to bear the stimulation, so she collapsed.At that moment, that bright young girl's eyes no longer had the gentle look in the past.

"Say something, okay?" Li Qianyue was talking to Jue Leng almost with a pleading look, and she felt that Jue Leng's spirit was about to collapse at that moment.

"Sister Qianyue, the Ninth Princess is here." A little maid ran in from outside the palace to report.

Nine princesses?Li Qianyue thought about it, although it is better for Jue Leng not to see anyone at this moment, so as not to show her feet, but she said that Princess Jiu knew the whole story, so since she has come, she has to see her.

"Invite the Ninth Princess quickly, and say that His Highness is ill and cannot come to greet her in person." Li Qianyue glanced worriedly at Jue Leng, who was still in a daze, and sighed.

As soon as Princess Nine came in, she obviously didn't notice Jue Leng's abnormality, she just closed the door and let the maid next to her fight.She already knew that Li Qianyue would not betray Jue Leng last time, so she didn't let Li Qianyue go out.

Seeing Jue Leng who was in a daze on the bed, Princess Jiu was taken aback, why hadn't seen her for so long, she seemed to have been severely injured, and she looked extremely decadent.

"Qianyue, what's wrong with her?" Li Yao looked at Jue Leng, then at Li Qianyue.

Li Qianyue frowned: "Didn't the princess hear about it? There are rumors in the palace today that Concubine Xian is pregnant."

Li Yao was shocked. In the first few days, she agreed to Jue Leng and Concubine Xian to help them escape, so in the past few days, she has been ordering a few capable confidants outside the palace to watch out for her, and everyone often makes suggestions together. It can be said that all her thoughts are on how to get them out of the palace.This morning, there was only a sliver of definite news, and those confidantes had already thought of a solution. She had just returned from a meeting with her confidants outside the palace, and she came here to tell Jueleng the good news, so that she could relax of.did not expect······

Seeing Jue Leng's distraught appearance, Li Yao felt extremely uncomfortable.She was still dressed as a man, with lost eyes and thin body, which made her want to step forward and hug her.Whether she is a man or a woman, at least she has brought her heart, there is no doubt about it.

Li Yao signaled Li Qianyue to close the door tightly, and then sat on the edge of Jue Leng.

"Absolutely cold, what are you going to do?"

Jue Leng raised his head in a daze, and at some point, there were still some tears in his eyes: "I don't know."

Li Yao sighed: "I came here today to tell you that I have thought of a way for you to leave the palace, and I have made a solid plan for dragging people. It should be no problem. I can find the right time to implement it in a few days. But I didn't expect this At the critical moment..."

Jue Leng shook her head dejectedly, Li Qianyue also felt uncomfortable watching it.

The three of them were silent in the bedroom at this moment.

"Where's Huanrou? Does she know? She must be in pain right now." Jue Leng covered his face with his hands, and didn't dare to think about some problems at all. She hated herself so much that she didn't come earlier and brought Huanrou with her. Go, let her suffer this crime.

Li Yao looked at her expression, her eyes were a little red, but she still comforted her: "Don't be like this. You should take her away, she won't want this child to be born, and the birth of a child means a lot to her. I will never be able to get rid of the painful memory." When Li Yao thought that she had developed malicious intentions towards an unborn child, and this child was her brother or sister, she unconsciously took a breath.

Li Qianyue looked out the window, only to realize that snow began to fall in the sky.After being with Jue Leng, it turned from spring to winter in a blink of an eye, but I haven't felt it yet.This year's snowfall is also very early. In previous years, at this time, it was just a bit cold.

Jue Leng let out a long sigh, the shock just now had passed, and reason returned to her face: "What does Princess Nine mean?"

Li Yao also heaved a long sigh, and said slowly: "If you and her are in need, I have that kind of medicine, which can make the child fall. However, there may be some side effects, and some injuries are certain, but that is also better than Break her heart."

Jue Leng's eyes were wide open, staring at Li Yao, and said word by word: "Princess Jiu means...to make Huanrou not want this child?"

Li Yao nodded lightly as if she had done something wrong, not daring to look into Jue Leng's eyes.But in my conscience, I really do it for their own good.Why is there a sense of guilt?

Seeing Li Yao's expression, Li Qianyue felt extremely uncomfortable.Logically speaking, what Li Yao said is not wrong at all.

Jue Leng frowned, thinking of making Huanrou suffer such pain, his heart felt like being burned every inch of his heart: "Princess Jiu, can you find a chance for me to meet her?"

Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, perhaps, this is what she can do for them at this moment.Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Li Qianyue: "Don't let her think about it, take good care of her. As soon as I find a chance, I will bring Jue Leng to see her."

Li Qianyue sighed and agreed.

At this moment, Jue Leng was still sitting on the bed, obviously not fully recovered from the blow.Just as Li Qianyue was about to talk to her, she was interrupted by Jue Leng: "Qianyue, please, I want to be quiet now, you go out first, let me sleep and maybe I can adjust, I'm too tired. "Li Qianyue nodded and went out resentfully.

Huanrou woke up and found many people around her, including the imperial doctor, Cui'er, the emperor, Ye An, and even the queen.

Huanrou hurriedly sat up: "You...?"

Li Yan held her hand with a smile: "My concubine, the imperial doctor said that you are pregnant."

The queen pretended to be very happy and said: "Congratulations to my sister, congratulations to my sister, I hope my sister will take good care of her body and give birth to a dragon heir as soon as possible." In fact, there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth.

"What did you say...?" Huanrou couldn't believe her ears, she thought it was a terrible nightmare.

"My dear concubine, it's absolutely true that you are pregnant with my son." Li Yan giggled, completely different from his usual aura, the wrinkles on his face were piled up because of his smile, and he couldn't bear it when he was old. Not to mention it is a blessing, but also the most beautiful concubine concubine is pregnant, the child will definitely look extraordinary in the future.

Huanrou only felt a urge to vomit, but she couldn't tell if it was because of pregnancy or because of nausea.She just felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She curled up into a ball, looking pitiful and helpless, only Tweety was secretly wiping her tears, how could she not understand what the empress was thinking?

"Aifei, isn't it cold? It's snowing outside, and this year's snow fell very early, Ye An, I want the people below to send more heaters."

"Yes." Ye An hurried down.

"Is there anything I want to eat or drink, my concubine? I'm going to ask someone to make it for my concubine. The imperial doctor just checked her. The concubine is not in good health. The doctor said that my concubine's qi and blood are deficient. After the emperor's son, I still need to make up more." Li Yan is extremely attentive, and he doesn't know whether he loves Concubine Xian more or the child in Huanrou's belly.

"Your Majesty, I feel a little uncomfortable right now. I wonder if your Majesty can leave me alone?" Huanrou's voice was extremely cold.

Li Yan was taken aback, he really didn't expect this woman's reaction to be like this, but he has always accepted that she is different.At least she has spoiled her own child, so her heart may gradually be her own in the future.

"Okay, I'm leaving now, my concubine will have a good rest for a few days, and I will order the imperial doctor to prepare the anti-fetal medicine for my concubine." Li Yan was not only not annoyed, but rather proud.

"Tui'er, take good care of your mother, I will definitely reward you a lot!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor left with a group of people, Huanrou immediately got up, grabbed the wash basin beside her, and let out a "wow", wishing to spit out her heart.

Cui'er looked at her and burst into tears. The lady has been losing weight in the past year, and her body is already poor. Now that she is pregnant again, she doesn't know if the child will be born.

Tweety patted her on the back while fetching water for her to wash.A sense of shame, stronger than ever, swept over.At that moment, Huanrou felt that if Jue Leng hadn't met her a few days ago, then today would be her own death day.That kind of shame made her hate every inch of her skin, she trembled and howled, until this moment, she didn't dare to cry to her heart's content.

Cui'er knelt down with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, this servant doesn't understand anything, but Madam, you can't disregard your body like this. A few days ago, this servant knew that your Majesty and the Third Prince might be old friends. I beg your majesty, even if you don't miss your own body, think about it for His Highness the Third Highness." Tweety was already at a loss, and could only use her own guesses to fight.

This speculation is not without reason.In the past, the empress, who was present but absent, often looked ashamed, but after seeing the so-called third prince, her whole person changed, she became more feminine and her complexion improved many.It was as if the long-term stagnation had disappeared because of the arrival of the third prince.But today's empress, not only is there no god, but she is afraid that she is not even ready to take her own body.

Huanrou gradually stopped, she looked at Tweety who was crying, and her heart softened for a while.Yes, what about the extreme cold?If she died, she would be clean, but Jue Leng... When she thought of Jue Leng, she felt a lot of reluctance.

"Go down, I promise you, I'll be fine in a while, I won't do anything stupid. She and I are indeed old acquaintances, even for her, I will definitely not die like this." Huanrou wiped her eyes , showing a firm look again.Tweety looked at her suspiciously, and felt relieved when she saw that she really didn't seem to be lying to her.

Perhaps at this moment, what she needs most is to be alone for a while quietly.Tweety nodded and stepped back.

"Qianyue, I can't wait any longer. I want to see her right away. She must be feeling terrible. Please, help me." Jue Leng looked at Li Qianyue anxiously.Li Qianyue suddenly felt that the absolute coldness of this expression was really strange.She had never seen her so panic-stricken.In her heart, Jue Leng seems to have always been the kind of person who doesn't panic.

Li Qianyue couldn't stand Jue Leng's pitiful appearance, so she could only say, "Okay, as long as you eat this bowl of rice well, I will take you to see her quietly tonight while everyone is asleep. .”

Jue Leng was like a person who was about to drown in the water, as if he had caught a piece of driftwood, his eyes were shining again.

Until midnight, when most of the people fell asleep, Li Qianyue sneaked out of the palace with absolute coldness.

As soon as they left the palace gate, they were slapped from behind, and the two of them were so scared that they almost didn't cry out.Looking back, I saw clearly under the moonlight that it was Princess Nine.

"Why are you here?" Jue Leng felt incredible.

"I knew you wouldn't make it through today, so I came here to help you. You may not know that you can't get in if you use kung fu. The guards here don't say they are first-class masters, but they are definitely not easy to fool Especially since Concubine Xian has been promoted to Noble Concubine, Father will definitely guard her more strictly. So you need my help." Li Yao said softly.

Li Qianyue just felt warm in her heart, this Li Yao seemed to be really kind.In order to be cold, I started to do some things that I would never dare to do in my life. It seems that the charm of absolute cold is quite great.

With the Ninth Princess outside, Zhou Xuan managed to attract the attention of a team of guards outside the gate, and Jue Leng and Li Qianyue sneaked into the palace.

Seeing them coming, Cui'er knew what was going on, hurriedly withdrew, and said softly, "Be quiet, I'll watch the wind for you outside."

Jue Leng glanced at Tweety gratefully, and walked straight to Huanrou's bedroom.

"Huanrou..." It's so late, she really hasn't slept yet, she is standing alone in the palace, looking deserted.There wasn't a single fireplace lit in the house, just one or two candles, and it looked extremely deserted.Li Qianyue felt a little cold.

"Hurry up a little bit, I will also go outside to help you out. As soon as I notify you, you have to leave regardless of whether you have finished speaking or not, you know?" Li Qianyue also walked out.

"Jueleng, take me away." It was the first time Huanrou spoke so actively, she hugged Jueleng, and at this moment her body was covered with endless coldness.

"Huanrou..." Jue Leng stroked her long hair, she was so skinny that she felt like she could touch her bones when hugged.

"You take me away, let's leave here, it's best to leave now, I don't want to stay here for a moment. I will go to Li Yao and ask her to give me a few pills, all women in the palace have this kind of thing. After going out I'll just take the medicine and let's start a new life, okay? If she won't give it, we'll escape and I'll take it again." Huanrou didn't have the noble look of the past, now she is a pale woman, Very bleak.

Jue Leng frowned, as if sharp knives had been slashed in his heart: "Huanrou, I asked Princess Jiu, and she said she was willing to give you that kind of medicine, but that kind of medicine may have side effects. Your health is not good. There is no guarantee of what you will become."

"I don't care, I don't care, I'm leaving now, now..." Huanrou murmured, frowning all the time, obviously, if she stays here for a moment, she won't be at peace for a moment.

"Huanrou, listen to me. Now that you are pregnant, it will be even more difficult to get out. If you force your way out, I'm afraid the emperor will punish the ninth princess. She is kind enough to help us, how can we hurt her? I have already I'm sorry for her. Besides, your body is already so weak, and I can't even imagine what it would be like to let you take that abortion pill. You grew up in the emperor's house, and some women bleed to death after taking it, and neither are you I don't know. I can't lose you anymore." Jue Leng felt his heart tremble every time he said a word.She has never had the courage to say these words. God knows how heartbreaking it is for her to make a choice.However, she really couldn't bear the pain of losing Huanrou anymore. Instead of that, she might as well let the child be born, let Huanrou get the best care, and then slowly find a way to take her away in the future.

Huanrou finally understood the meaning of Jue Leng, the expression on her face changed from shock to a little cold, that kind of hatred, that kind of hatred for herself, the hatred for the emperor, the hatred for Jue Leng, suddenly surrounded her.

Her voice was colder than the heavy snow outside: "Shu Jueleng, so you mean, you don't want to take me away now?"

Jue Leng looked at her with a frown, and reached out to touch her cheek, but she deftly dodged it: "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will give birth to this child."

That sentence, like a sharp sword, pierced straight into Jue Leng's heart.Obviously, it's my choice, why does it still hurt so much?
