Pluto's Golden Apple

After all, Li Yao fulfilled her promise to Jue Leng. After their wedding, Li Yao always tried to get Jue Leng to go to see Huan Rou with her.

But when Huanrou saw Jue Leng, there was resentment in her heart after all, the feeling of alienation made Jue Leng often feel suffocated.

"How is Huanrou recently?" Jue Leng looked at her clothes, which could no longer cover her stomach, and couldn't help worrying about her.Ordinary people are pregnant, they must gain a lot of weight, but although Huanrou is pregnant, her body doesn't seem to have changed, only her belly is swollen.

"My son-in-law is thinking about it, everything is fine." Huanrou smiled at Jue Leng.

Jue Leng looked at her blankly, just about to say something, but really didn't know what to say.

"That...you guys talk, I'll go outside first." Li Yao also felt that this scene was a bit weird, and she was quite embarrassed.Furthermore, after she and her son-in-law got married, her father gave her and her son-in-law a house outside the palace. The house was large and comfortable, but unlike living in the palace before, it was much more difficult to come to see Huan Rou.Li Yao couldn't bear to interfere with their meeting.

Seeing Li Yao walk out, Jue Leng sighed: "Huan Rou still hates me?"

Huanrou still smiled slightly: "The son-in-law is the most merciful, and he is reluctant to hurt an innocent life. I should thank the son-in-law on his behalf. How can I blame the son-in-law?"

Every word she said didn't have the slightest bit of anger, or even too much emotion, but it was still like a sharp knife stabbing Jue Leng's body.

"Huanrou, you are pregnant, you must pay attention to nutrition, you are still too thin." Looking at Huanrou's back, Jue Leng even had the illusion that she was not pregnant.

"My son-in-law is worried, I'm fine."

Jue Leng only felt that the relationship between himself and her had never been so embarrassing, so he could only sigh repeatedly, but he was not willing to leave immediately.

"Don't you need to accompany the princess?" Huanrou turned around and smiled at her with an extremely gentle tone, as if she had never been angry with her.

"I know you're still blaming me. But I'm really not a coward. This decision will indeed hurt you, but I also have my unavoidable suffering. Huanrou, don't ask you to forgive me, even if you don't talk to me like this again Good. I feel really bad." Jue Leng muttered in a low voice.

Are you uncomfortable?Do you know how uncomfortable I am?Every night when you're not around, every night when I can't help myself, I want to kill myself countless times.For you, I don't even want the status of a god, and I don't even want to avenge the deepest blood. I just want you to be safe and happy.But you chose to make me continue to suffer so much in order not to hurt others and not to be hunted down by the emperor.Shu Jue Leng, you are really cruel, when you really are really cold.

"Don't dare." Huanrou still smiled slightly, although there were ten thousand words in her heart that she wanted to say, but the strong hatred made her unwilling to speak.

Suddenly, a pain spread from the abdomen, and Huanrou's face changed instantly.Having been pregnant for so long, this feeling has never been stronger.Huanrou always felt that the child's life should be bad after birth.From the moment I was pregnant with him, I have never been happy for a day. Maybe this child is not in good health, easy to get sick, or easily haggard like myself.Sometimes, she also wants to eat something, but her body is extremely repulsive, and her morning sickness reaction is very strong, so she can only eat a little something every day.

She didn't know if her internal organs were competing with the child in her body for the little bit of nutrition left. She only felt the pain in her stomach was unbearable, and her head also hurt like it was going to explode.

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Jue Leng immediately rushed forward and hugged her.

Huanrou, who was lying in Jue Leng's arms, felt that she was really useless.The smell on Jue Leng's body has not changed, as before, the smell makes the former self feel so relieved and happy.But now, what this smell brings to him is helplessness and fear.

"Huanrou... I'm sorry for you. I promise you, I will take you out of the palace when you give birth to the child safely. From then on, we will find a place where there is no one to live, and we will always be together, okay? ?" Jue Leng's tears fell out at some point, she could be calm and calm to others, but to Huanrou, she was always so fragile.

"Really...can it still be like before?" Huanrou smiled lightly and frowned, the pain seemed to want to kill her.Perhaps the child is the creditor of every mother in the previous life, and they are here to collect the debt in this life.At this moment, she seemed to understand why the rest of the empress's children were not born by pregnancy. This kind of pain can already shed a layer of skin after experiencing this pain once.

Seeing that Huanrou was sweating in pain, Jue Leng hurriedly helped her to the bed and went outside to call for the imperial doctor.Huanrou was in a daze until she saw Li Yan coming and lying on the bed by herself.

"My concubine, why are you so careless? The fetal gas is moved, and the imperial doctor said that the baby will be born in a few months. Concubine Ai must bear with it."

Huanrou opened her eyes slightly, she wanted to find Jue Leng's figure, at this moment she just wanted Jue Leng to be by her side, even just to take a look at her.But among the people around, how can there be any shadow of absolute coldness?There were only Li Yan, Ye An, Cui Er and the imperial doctor kneeling on standby.

Huanrou sighed, she always felt that Jue Leng's decision pushed her far away from Jue Leng, and after that, it might take a long time to get closer.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine." Huanrou hoped to get rid of Li Yan as soon as possible. In fact, in a sense, she was still very grateful for the child in her stomach. Li Yan was afraid that it would affect her rest and childbirth. He never stayed in her bedroom.This made her also relieved.

"Doctor, let your mother take a closer look, what's going on?"

The imperial doctor hurriedly came forward to feel Huanrou's pulse. After a while, the imperial doctor frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the empress fainted this time, and I am afraid that she will not be able to get rid of the dry cleaning because of the stagnation in her heart. The empress should go out of the bedroom and walk around appropriately. Raising a baby in the bedroom may cause a lot of qi knots in the empress's heart, resulting in blocked blood vessels. If things go on like this, I'm afraid it will hurt the little Highness in her belly."

Li Yan frowned: "My concubine, although this summer is extremely hot, the early morning is still very comfortable. For the sake of the emperor, my concubine must go out to relax in the early morning."

Huanrou smiled, the depression in her heart, how could it be because she only stayed in the bedroom?This stagnation, I am afraid, has been there since the moment he entered the palace.

"Yes, I see." Huanrou didn't want to argue, but replied meekly, she didn't want to see Li Yan again for a moment.

"Okay, then my concubine can rest and recuperate. I will order the imperial doctor to continue to cook medicine for my concubine to recuperate her body. After I finish handling the government affairs during this period, I will personally come to accompany my concubine to relax."

Huanrou's face darkened, she really hoped that he would never think of her.

Li Qianyue looked at Jue Leng and did nothing every day, and fell into deep thought, very unhappy.Since Jue Leng decided to stay, he never smiled again.

"Hey, son-in-law." Li Qianyue tried to stir up a topic to make Jue Leng happier.

"Huh?" Jue Leng obviously didn't want to talk to her.

"The last time I heard you playing the piano, it was quite pleasant. I also learned a little from Princess Jiu secretly. How about I play a song to relieve your boredom?"

Jue Leng stared blankly at her, why would he want to listen to the piano now?But in order not to spoil her interest, he simply agreed.

It has to be said that Li Qianyue is still a little clever.She has only learned the piano not long ago, and the sound of the piano can be made relatively soft, and she can even grasp the rhythm quite well.Jue Leng thought in his heart, if she followed her fairy father instead of her mortal mother, perhaps her divine power would be quite astonishing now.

The beauty on Li Qianyue's body is different from Huanrou's.Huanrou's beauty belongs to the kind that is gentle and moist, while Li Qianyue's beauty is somewhat enchanting and charming. Jue Leng also fell into a trance at some point, but he is not bothered by that troublesome thing anymore.

Jue Leng frowned suddenly, there was a tune that Li Qianyue never played correctly, she was just learning the piano after all.

"Qiaoyue, there was an inaccurate just now."

"Oh?! Where, I'll play it again, please listen well."

Jue Leng shook his head: "It's still not right."

Li Qianyue played it several times, feeling a little frustrated.Jue Leng silently walked behind her and sat down, put his hand on hers, and said helplessly: "That tone is always inaccurate, I'd better teach you. Follow my hand and use your ears Feel it, listen to that sound."

Li Qianyue just felt her heart was about to jump out, her extremely cold hands were warm and smooth, because it was a hot day, there was still a little bit of sweat on her hands, and the touch made Li Qianyue blush .

"Qiaoyue, listen." Jue Leng seemed to be getting closer to her, reminding her to hear the sound correctly.

Li Qianyue only felt that she had to hold her breath, otherwise she would have heard her heart beating wildly if she was so close to her.

Li Yao just wanted to come in to find Jue Leng and go out for a walk, when she saw this scene.

"Princess, son-in-law..." Li Yao's close maid couldn't bear the closeness and ambiguity between the two of them. In her eyes, the princess couldn't compare to that charming maid.

"Let the slave help the princess to teach her, a servant is too unruly." Li Yao's maid was even more indignant.

"Forget it, Qianyue is a man brought by the son-in-law from Beizhi. My husband and I have been very kind to me until now. He has always been gentle and generous to his servants. I guess it is Qianyue's idea." Learning piano. She has been looking for me for the past few months." Li Yao didn't want to make things worse.

"Yes, princess." The maid didn't say anything.

"Go down, I still have something to say to my son-in-law."

After Li Yao sent the maid away, she stood quietly not far away, looking at Jue Leng and Li Qianyue.To be honest, if Jue Leng didn't like Huanrou, the smiling faces of these two people in front of him would be a perfect match.Li Qianyue is relatively simple, she has always been straightforward, and is good to those she cares about. If Jue Leng was with her, maybe she wouldn't be as distraught as she is today.

But love, this thing, seems to be indescribable.It's like she couldn't explain why she knew that all this was a dream, but she still couldn't help wishing that the dream lasted longer.It was as if she couldn't understand why she still liked Jueleng even though she knew she was pretending to be a man.

Sometimes she still envies Li Qianyue, at least Li Qianyue can justifiably like and care for her, but once Huanrou gives birth, she and she may never see each other again.Most of the time, she would look at her sleeping face and smile while Jue Leng was asleep, and she would do nothing, just look at her.Jue Leng's expression in the dream is not as sad as in the daytime, and looks much more peaceful. Sometimes Li Yao even wishes to keep sleeping like this, and she and Jue Leng don't wake up, just keep sleeping like this.

Jue Leng spotted Li Yao who was standing not far away looking at them, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Li Qianyue stopped seeing Jue Leng, and looked up to see Li Yao.It's so disgusting, she ruined such a beautiful scene just now, and I really hate her to death.

"Princess." Jue Leng stood up and saluted.In the eyes of outsiders, such a courteous son-in-law must be very good to the princess, and the husband and wife must respect each other as guests. Only Li Yao knows what she is looking forward to.Sometimes she would rather be absolutely cold and not be so polite to herself.

Li Yao walked over and said softly: "In more than three months, Huanrou will give birth. In the past six months, I have almost walked around with my cronies outside the palace. When the time comes, I will ask my father to allow me to be with you." You go to Beizhi country together. My confidant found a woman whose back looks very similar to Huanrou. When the time comes, let the father and the important concubines send us off together, let Huanrou say that she is unwell and go back to the bedroom early with Tweety, On the way back to the bedroom, let our people replace Huanrou and mix it with the team sending us, do you think it would be okay?"

Jue Leng nodded, she was very touched, Li Yao has been working hard for her and Huan Rou's affairs in the past six months: "Your Highness is so kind, Jue Leng will never forget each other in this life."

Li Yao smiled slightly: "How can a husband talk to his wife like this?" After speaking, he left, leaving Jue Leng Er Li Qianyue stunned.

Three months passed in a flash, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus permeated the entire city of Huangxie.

"Your Majesty, push hard, push hard, the baby's head is about to come out!" The midwife's head was covered with sweat, if this noble lady was not treated well, it would be fatal.

Huanrou just felt like a fish thrown onto the chopping board, enduring the knife slowly slicing across her belly, and then being sprinkled with a handful of salt and slowly cured.

The whole bedroom was filled with the smell of blood.Li Yan was making a fuss outside, Ye An couldn't stop comforting him.I really can't figure it out, it's not the first time His Majesty has become a father, why is he still so anxious and nervous?

Li Yao brought Jue Leng with him that day, but they could only wait in the outer hall.The weather was already a bit cold, but there were fine beads of sweat on Jue Leng's head.

"Your son-in-law, don't be anxious, Concubine Xian will be fine." Li Yao took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat for Jue Leng, this sentence is also a reminder to Jue Leng, implying that she should not be too anxious to let others see the clues.

Jue Leng silently begged his brother and father in his heart, he must have heard her plea, bless Huanrou, mother and child, and begged the name of the deceased emperor over and over again in his heart, although Huanrou was giving birth, but to her It's really not easy at all.She was really afraid, afraid that something wrong in her previous life would make her lose Huanrou.At that moment, she had never hoped so piously that she had been a good person in her previous life.

With a loud cry, everyone's hearts were raised to their throats.

The midwife opened the door with a bang and shouted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, a little princess was born, mother and daughter are safe!"

At that moment, Jue Leng felt his heart sink steadily, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Li Yan was so excited that tears were about to come out, he didn't care about his son or daughter, as long as the mother and child were safe, that was his greatest happiness, so he rushed in.

The room was filled with the sound of children crying, and he hugged his daughter and looked at it carefully.

"My concubine, look at my concubine, this is our daughter." Li Yan's eyes actually glistened with tears.

Huanrou just felt that her body was hollowed out, and a feeling of dying was getting stronger and stronger, she just nodded slowly, and fell unconscious.

"Doctor, doctor, come in quickly, what's wrong with my concubine?" Li Yan yelled, and the doctor rushed in.

"Your Majesty, it's all right. Your Majesty is weak after giving birth, and she just needs to rest and recuperate. Please don't worry about it, Your Majesty."

When Jue Leng heard the emperor shouting like that, he thought something happened to Huanrou, but when he was about to rush in, he was grabbed by Li Qianyue, Jue Leng woke up, his face flushed red with anxiety.

"My son-in-law, Concubine Xian is fine, let's go back to the mansion, wait for Concubine Xian to get better, and then visit again." Li Yao also reminded.

Jue Leng was so helpless that he had no choice but to go back home with Li Yao.

A few days later, Huanrou's body got better and she was able to eat. Li Yan was very happy and invited Li Yao, Jue Leng, the queen, and the noble concubines in the palace.

"My concubine, you gave birth to a princess, I will show you." After speaking, Ye An held a baby and handed it to Huanrou.

This child is pink and tender, and quite cute, Huanrou smiled faintly.

"My concubine, I'll come to see you, and I'll discuss with you the name of the child. I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I'll call her Li Muxian. I promise to give her the best and make the gods envy her. You Does it look good? My fate with you also started from Xianxian Lake, I think this name is perfect, what do you think about it?" Li Yan looked smug.

Huanrou looked at the people around. Although the queen and the noble concubines were smiling on the surface, their eyes were actually a bit cold. Li Yao's eyes were full of concern. Jue Leng, Jue Leng frowned, eyes Tears are coming out of my eyes.At that moment, I seemed to be a little soft-hearted again.

Huanrou sat up slowly, holding the child in her hands.Although the child was her own flesh and blood, it was not what she wanted after all. She was extremely reluctant to see this child in her heart, but she couldn't say it out.One day this child exists is to remind herself of the shame she has suffered.

"Your Majesty, why don't you call me Yuan'er, the kite's kite. As the saying goes, only mandarin ducks are envied but not immortals. It can be seen that immortals are not as good as a pair of mandarin ducks in love. 'Yuan' is the same as 'yuan' of mandarin ducks, and this child lives for a hundred days. At that time, it should be almost the spring day when the warbler flies and the grass grows. I only hope that this child can be a free paper kite." Yes, it would be great if he could do that, and he doesn't have to carry so much like her.

"Okay, okay, just listen to my concubine, the seventeenth princess is called Li Yuan."

"Your Majesty, please take Yuan'er down. I'm still a little tired. I'm afraid I need to cultivate for a while." In fact, Huan Rou already felt that she was fine, unlike the previous few days when she had no strength at all. Feeling that she was getting better little by little, she just didn't want to face the emperor and this child.

"Okay, then my concubine should take a good rest." Li Yan just wanted to leave when Huan Rou stopped her.

"Your Majesty, can you let the ninth princess and the son-in-law have a chat with me?" Huan Rou's voice was extremely soft, but it made Jue Leng's heart feel as if it had been bathed in the spring breeze.She took the initiative to keep them, did she forgive herself?

"Okay, Yao'er has always been close to you, let Yao'er and Xian'er accompany you." Li Yan led the others down.

Jue Leng saw that everyone had left, and after holding back tears for many days, he finally dared to shed them wantonly.
