Pluto's Golden Apple

Li Qianyue who was outside had no intention of eavesdropping, but in the dead of night, the guards were led away again, and the snow was still falling outside, making all sounds more clearly heard than usual.

She heard Huanrou say that she would give birth to the child.At that moment, she seemed to hear the voice of someone's heart cracking.

"Oh, that may be because I was dazzled just now. You still have to keep an eye on it all the time to protect the safety of the imperial concubine and empress." Outside the door, the voice of the nine princesses came, and Li Qianyue understood in her heart that the meaning of this sentence The real meaning is that their time is up, and they must come out quickly.After a while, the guards should rush over to ask the imperial concubine if she is safe.

Li Qianyue hurried in, grabbed Jue Leng, and Jue Leng was still staring at Huanrou, trying to make a sound, but couldn't say a word.Looking at Huanrou again, the expression on his face returned to the calmness of the past, without any emotion or turmoil.It was as if, as soon as those words were finished, he had already given up.

"Jie Leng, we must leave immediately, the Ninth Princess has already hinted."

"Huanrou, I'll come to see you another day, you have to take care of yourself." Jue Leng's tone was light and soft, like a child begging for forgiveness for doing something wrong.

"Your Highness the Prince doesn't need to come here. I still want to have a good pregnancy. When I see Your Highness, I'm afraid that my mood will fluctuate and my fetus will move." Huan Rou is actually not having a good time at this moment.

Jue Leng wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he was dragged away by Li Qianyue.

As soon as he returned to his bedroom, Jue Leng looked devastated.She had never seen Huanrou like that, and Huanrou had never said such cruel words to her.Perhaps, my words were like a sharp knife, piercing her heart.She definitely wanted to leave, but she just couldn't take her away at this moment.

"How did you decide? When will you leave?" Li Yao obviously didn't know it. She was quite happy when she came in. This night she did a lot of things that she would never dare to do, such as lying to the guards, such as in the middle of the night sneaked into the "man" bedroom.She was still immersed in the excitement and joy of doing something bad for the first time.

Seeing that both Li Qianyue and Jue Leng looked sad, Li Yao felt something was wrong.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Jueleng was still in a daze, Li Qianyue answered for her: "Jueleng doesn't want Huanrou to go. Because she is afraid of her other losses, and she is afraid that it will be bad for her."

Li Yao was taken aback for a moment, these words really shocked her.According to common sense, Huanrou must also be unwilling to keep this child, because this child should not exist in the first place.And Jue Leng has no reason to let this child be born. Does she not mind her beloved woman having a child with someone else?Once this child is born, it is likely to be the biggest threat and obstacle in their relationship.At this moment, she escapes without Huanrou, and when Huanrou gives birth to the child, perhaps a large part of the love in her heart will be given to the child, so that she will never be afraid, will her choice push the two of them further and further apart?

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Yao marveled that in this world, there are still people who love another person so deeply.Jue Leng would rather choose to hurt herself than let Huanrou take even the slightest risk.Li Yao remembered that when she was a child, she once secretly stole a love novel about the love between children from the library of the palace.In the end, I accidentally hid it and was seen by the Taifu. The Taifu told her father about it. The father was very angry that day, thinking that these unscrupulous books can be read by a man, but not by a daughter. decent.In front of her, her father burned the book she was reading with gusto, together with all her yearning for beautiful love.

Since then, those "Women's Admonitions" and "Internal Training" have never left their books.Teaching her to read, write and play the piano is only because she is a daughter of the royal family. In the homes of ordinary people, few women can read and write.No matter how noble I am and how much I am favored by my father, I also know that my future husband has the right to marry many concubines, and I should do my duty well and not feel jealous.Those thoughts have increasingly imprisoned Li Yao, causing her to lose some illusions prematurely. In her heart, the best candidate for a son-in-law is only one who is gentle and elegant, who can treat her with respect as a guest.

It wasn't until she met Jue Leng that she realized that there were still many variables in her life.Listening to her playing the piano that day, I felt that the voice seemed to come from the sky. Seeing her take off the mask, I was shocked that there would be such a delicate and elegant person in the world. Today, I saw that she did not hesitate to bear a lot in order to protect her beloved. It's because she feels that the love between her and Huanrou is something she has never touched or seen before.And this has never been touched or seen before, and it seems to have awakened her long-sleeping expectations and desires.

The ruthless people in the world seem to be men.Although she had never thought about anything else, she suddenly wanted to have someone like Jue Leng love her, even if she was a woman.As long as this person can know the cold and warm, can treat her sincerely, and can only have her in his heart for the rest of his life.

But after thinking about it, I'm afraid there will never be such a beautiful and matching combination like Jue Leng and Huan Rou in this world.As a result, Li Yao suddenly felt a little sentimental in his heart.

"You have made up your mind, do you really not want to take her away?" Li Yao confirmed again. Although the palace is indeed relatively safe, after 10 months of pregnancy, she still doesn't know what will happen, and she still doesn't know if she can leave again. .

Jue Leng lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he met Li Yao's with his own eyes and nodded emphatically.

"Okay, then let's get married as planned." Li Yao said in a long tone, as if these words made a great determination.

Both Li Qianyue and Jue Leng looked at her suspiciously.

"Since you won't be able to leave for a while, you can only get married. If you are with me, at least you will have a chance to enter the palace. Otherwise, even if she wants to run away with you after giving birth, it will be difficult for you to enter the palace." gone."

"But Princess Nine, I'll hurt you like this. If we really get married, we will leave after Huanrou gives birth, then what will you do? How will you explain?" Jue Leng didn't want to be so kind Princess Jiu was in a dilemma, she originally planned to escape from the palace first, and then find a way to take her away after Huanrou gave birth.

Li Yao smiled softly: "Fortunately, you are the prince of Beizhi. My father said that I want to live in Huang Xie until I am willing to go back to China with you. Then after Huanrou gives birth, I will say that I am the son of the king of Beizhi." Volunteering to go back to Beizhi Kingdom with you, before leaving the palace, I will order a few of my confidants outside the palace to discuss how to replace Huanrou."

Li Qianyue suddenly understood, but seemed to think of something again: "But, after we leave, what will you do alone? Are you really going to Beizhi Kingdom?"

Li Yao laughed: "The sky is big and the earth is big. Even if I don't have the palace, I still have countless money. I can just find a place to buy a house and live there? I have some loyal people who follow me outside the palace. They will protect me at that time. After staying in the palace for 19 years, it is also a happy thing to think about being able to live freely. At that time, I can also pursue my own happiness, which is better than being bored in the palace too That's a lot, isn't it?"

Jue Leng and Li Qianyue looked at each other, not knowing what to say.It was hard for them to imagine that Li Yao, who was used to being loved since childhood, would say such a thing, and both of them felt very unbelievable.

"If I'm not mistaken, Jue Leng and Huan Rou should also have honorable status. But you are all desperate for Aiqing and put down all your status and status. Why can't I do this for true freedom? If you really If you think power and money are so good, wouldn't you have given up a long time ago?" Li Yao asked with a smile, with a little sadness in her expression.It turns out that I have lived for more than 19 years, and until this moment, I really want to understand some things.

"Thanks to the princess's care, Jue Leng and Huan Rou can go out of the palace in the future. If the princess has any problems, we will come to help when we know." Although Jue Leng is very afraid of hurting Li Yao, it seems that Li Yao is determined Has been decided, her eyes are very firm, without any hesitation.

And what Li Yao said is absolutely reasonable.If I leave the palace first at this moment, whether it is the quickness of news or the convenience of entering the palace, it will definitely not be as good as it is now.

Li Yao smiled slightly, and didn't know if this was her love that fulfilled Jueleng, or whether Jueleng fulfilled her own rebirth.

Li Yan is in a good mood recently, Princess Ninth's wedding is getting closer, Concubine Xian doesn't seem to reject herself as much as before.Now, Concubine Xian will obediently drink the medicine he sent, so Concubine Xian looks much better than before.It's just that the only thing that makes him a little uncomfortable is that even though Concubine Xian looks so obedient, her eyes are getting colder and colder day by day.

No matter what, the important thing is to let her give birth to the emperor well.Sure enough, Concubine Xian is young, and many concubines who have been sleeping in the palace for a long time are not much different in age from Li Yan, and they can't even conceive if they want to.For a long time no new life was born in the palace.

"My concubine, Yao'er's big wedding is getting closer and closer, what gift do you think I should give them?" Li Yan asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty will give you whatever you want. I think a couple immersed in love will not have the heart to really care about other things."

"Hahaha, Aifei's words are really thorough and incisive. I don't know if Aifei has planned any gifts for them? Or, let me see, and I will follow suit?"

Huanrou smiled slightly: "I have prepared a gift, but Your Majesty is too serious. The gift I prepared is just a handkerchief embroidered by myself. May the two of them be harmonious."

"Oh? Handkerchief, hahaha, okay, the handkerchief is very good. I think it must be a pattern of mandarin ducks or something. This reminds me that I have to prepare a big gift now. The palace is busy these days for Yaoer When preparing for the wedding, sometimes I can't get away from my body for a while, my concubine needs to take good care of her body, and I will take time to visit her when I am free. If you have any orders, feel free to tell the people below, okay?" Li Yan smiled. It's almost flattering, the wrinkles on the face are piled up, and the face looks like some shallow ravines, so that Huanrou hardly has the courage to look at him, and just nods silently.

Li Yan didn't care about these, and strode away. After all, many details of the wedding had to be determined by himself, and he had to discuss with Yao'er.These days, Yao'er seems to be in a very happy mood, and everything makes her very satisfied.

Li Qianyue has never seen Jue Leng in red.She tied up her hair and rode on a tall horse. The red new clothes looked a bit dazzlingly festive.There was a slight smile on Jue Leng's face, but Li Qianyue knew that this was just a performance.The most beautiful smile she has ever seen was thinking about the day when she and Huan Rou could leave the palace together.

Jue Leng was surrounded by the sound of gongs and drums, wishing that all the people of Huang Xie would take to the streets to watch the fun, and the son-in-law had to walk a long way from outside the palace to inside the palace to marry the princess.The battle was so lively, everyone had smiles on their faces, and the officers and soldiers who followed to greet the relatives carried a lot of copper coins with them. Every time the welcoming team passed by, many officers and soldiers would throw money. is happy.

Jue Leng only felt the commotion around him, but his heart was a little numb.She fantasized more than once that one day, she has succeeded to the throne of Hades, and she would ride a tall horse like this, go to heaven to take Huan Rou to Hades, and live with her.But this dream not only changed the scene, but also changed the person.

Today's Nine Princesses, even with a layer of red hijab, can still feel endless beauty from that graceful figure.Li Yan looked at the new couple, his brows and eyes almost rolled into a ball of laughter, Hu Xian looked extraordinarily delicate and handsome today, I only hope he can treat Yao'er well in the future.

Li Yan sent the gift from himself, which was a pair of gold bars with mandarin ducks on them. The gold bars were not expensive gifts for the royal family, but the pair of mandarin ducks were made so lifelike, as if they were still alive. Combing each other's feathers in general.

"I specially give this gift to you. I hope that Xian'er and Yao'er will live in harmony as a husband and wife, be happy together, and be in harmony!" Li Yan handed the gift to Jue Leng with a smile.

Jue Leng knelt down, with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Father, for your kindness."

"Hahaha, good, good."

"That day, my son-in-law gave me the best rouge powder in Beizhi Kingdom. I liked it very much. I might have promised my son-in-law to give him a gift on his wedding day. Both my son-in-law and the nine princesses were born noble, and my majesty gave me a gift. If I bought a fine gold bar, this gift from me pales in comparison, and I hope the son-in-law and the ninth princess will not take offense." Huan Rou also tried to force a smile from the corner of her mouth.

She is still dressed in white today, which is in stark contrast to Jue Leng's red dress. That plain white suit is like the most merciless mockery of Jue Leng.Li Yan once persuaded her to change into a different color of clothes, but she insisted on insisting that she was still dressed in plain white.Fortunately, Huanrou's temperament is still there. Although her abdomen has slightly bulged at this time, she still looks good with her white body.

Huanrou took out a handkerchief from her bosom, but Li Yan did not expect that the embroidered pattern was not the same mandarin ducks as him, but two trees full of flowers.Everyone thinks it's very novel, usually a couple should be given a mascot such as a mandarin duck. I don't know why the imperial concubine should give two blossoming trees?

Only Jue Leng, looking at those two trees, felt extremely uncomfortable.She is still blaming herself, she is still resenting herself.It was a pear tree and a crabapple tree intertwined.The snow-white pear blossoms on the tree complement the crimson crabapple flowers.

"I wish the son-in-law and the princess are like these two trees, forever united!" Huanrou smiled slightly, and handed the handkerchief to Jue Leng, and Jue Leng slowly raised his head to look into her eyes. Do you have thoughts and love for her?Those eyes were full of fierce hatred at the moment.

"Thank you, Concubine Gui, for your kindness." Jue Leng saluted. At this moment, they were so close to each other, they were clearly in each other's hearts, but the distance at this time was farther than anything else.

Li Yan commanded Ye An contentedly: "Go ahead and salute."

After a sound of "sent to the bridal chamber", Jue Leng and Li Yao were embraced by everyone and pushed into the bridal chamber.Jue Leng turned his head to look at Huanrou, and found that Huanrou was also staring at him fiercely.However, Li Yan seemed to be moved by this newlywed atmosphere, and he also became infinitely tender to Huanrou, and stepped forward to support her, while gently stroking her belly with the other hand.There was no trace of disgust on Huanrou's face, but a faint smile on the contrary.

Jue Leng felt that although it was still winter, his body temperature must be lower than the temperature outside, otherwise why would he be shivering uncontrollably?

Li Yao lifted the hijab on her head by herself and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing went wrong just now, and the matter was successfully concealed.After dismissing a few maids, Li Yao took out a small knife, rolled up her clothes, picked it on her arm, and stroked it lightly, dripping blood on the white cloth on the bed.

Jue Leng frowned slightly, as careful as she was, she could also think of such things.

She suddenly remembered their day two years ago.On that day, Huanrou gave her to him. At that time, he didn't know that he would never see Huanrou again.At that time, Huanrou must have loved herself very much, otherwise, how could a woman be willing to give her chastity to someone she might never see again?

The thought of Huanrou made her heart ache.

"Princess, I will sleep under the bed from now on, I will lay some mattresses under the bed."

Jue Leng just wanted to move some things, but was grabbed by Li Yao. Li Yao's face sank: "Do you have to do this? You and I are both women, so there is nothing wrong with sleeping in the same bed. If you sleep in Under the bed, if one day a maid accidentally breaks in and sees it, she doesn’t know what she’s going to tell us. It’s your choice to play this show, so you’ll play it to the end.”

Jue Leng thought about it, sighed, and had to lie down on the bed.

Perhaps Li Yao was a little tired from the many red tapes of the wedding, and soon fell asleep, only Jue Leng was alone, with his eyes open all night, tossing and turning, no matter what he couldn't fall asleep.

Hades.

"What did you say? She pretended to be a prince and got married to the nine princesses of the Daqian Kingdom?" Pluto felt a little unbelievable. When it comes to nonsense, Jue Leng is probably unmatched.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hei Ji managed to make his underworld patrols look like ordinary people, so he inquired so thoroughly.

Pluto frowned: "What about her?"

Heiji sighed: "Your Highness Rou, it seems that she is pregnant with the emperor's child."

Pluto gasped, he felt that what he had to accept today was almost more than he could bear.

But thinking about it, I was the one who was so cruel back then, leaving Huanrou alone and leaving like that, knowing that she entered the palace, how could he not know what happened to her?He could even imagine how desperate and painful Jue Leng would be.

"Isn't she going to take her to escape? So what if the Ninth Princess finds out? It can't always be hidden."

"Your Majesty, I thought that the Ninth Princess knew about it, otherwise His Highness would never have dared to marry her. According to my guess, His Highness should be planning to wait for His Highness Rou to give birth to the child before taking His Highness Rou away. After all, they have no power now. , She can't protect His Royal Highness Rou." Hei Ji is quite smart, he can almost understand all the painstaking efforts of Jue Leng.

Pluto sighed, how much like them, Li Xi and Huan Wanqing back then.Huan Wanqing didn't hesitate to waste most of her divine power that she had cultivated for many years in order to be safe and cold, which led to her being killed so easily by herself later.If everything is a cycle, then from the beginning to the end, people in their family never seem to have escaped this bad luck.

"Forget it, let them go, Heiji, still pay close attention to the situation over there."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
