The Flower Guarding Bell Chapter 30: Can’t wait
"Niangniang." Hal Zhu, who was beside him, saw that his master's demeanor was a bit wrong, and cautiously reminded him.
Na Yunzhe let go of her hand slightly, and carelessly wiped the blood on the back of her hand with her fingertips.
"This child—"
"Thanks to the Queen, it's been nearly five months."
Xiao Qingxue naturally noticed her gaze, and let go of the hand that held the stove and placed it on her abdomen.
"It's been five months..." Na Yunzhe felt a pain in his heart and murmured in a low voice, "If Ben Gong's child is still there, it should be born soon."
"Niangniang." Haerzhu's expression was a little worried.
Na Yunzhe seemed to be unconscious and fell into her own world. Her expression was a little weird, sometimes sad, sometimes chuckling.
"Xiao Qingxue, you say, why can't my child be as lucky as your child? Why is your child still alive, but mine is gone?"
She turned her head and stared at the woman next to her, the jealousy in her eyes no doubt revealed.
"The Empress is unwell, please go back and rest early."
Lingsu stood in the middle of the two, her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, her eyes full of warning turned to Ha Erzhu, "What are you waiting for, why don't you wait for your master to go back to rest?"
Ha'erzhu was shocked, she knew that Xiao Qingxue at this moment was no longer the soft persimmon who was bullied by others, and she was a little flustered and almost half-forced to help Na Yunzhe up.
"Niang Niang, let's go back."
As Na Yunzhe struggled, she sneered and stared at the unmoved woman sitting there.
"Xiao Qingxue, don't be complacent, you will pay the price soon, you wait."
Na Yunzhe was noisily pulled away, and the hall returned to quiet, only the bead curtain was still gently shaking.
"Niang Niang, don't listen to her nonsense."
Lingsu's face was indignant, "She has lost her own child by accident, and she is still burdening you, the emperor is also true."
"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Qingxue's tone sank slightly, "Don't say that again in the future."
"...Yes."
Xiao Qingxue's gaze fell outside the window, and the outside was already covered in silver.
This year's snow seems to be extra heavy...
Snowflakes are falling, the ground is silent, and the wind in the snow is even more chilly.
Li Changqing looked away from the snowy scene outside the window, lightly clasped the table in his hand, and listened to the person reporting everything that had just happened in Qinyang Palace, but his expression was somewhat absent-minded.
One person once said that when her mother gave birth to her, the first snow fell in Kyoto.
That's how the name Qingxue came about.
The first snow this year is her birthday, and his big gift has been prepared for a long time.
Qilixi put down the tea cup, frowned at the man who was clearly distracted, waved lightly to let the dark guard retreat, then got up and walked to him, looking at him with his chest around him.
"Can I take your trance now as hesitation?"
Li Changqing's eyes moved slightly, looked at the person in front of him, and said softly: "The arrow is on the string, so I have to send it."
Qilixi's eyes were filled with thick ice, and his voice was even colder.
"Sometimes I really doubt that you have no heart."
Hearing this, Li Changqing just smiled lightly, noncommittal.
He looked so indifferent that he didn't care about himself, which made Qi Lixi unaccustomed to seeing him.
"Li Changqing, you will ruin her, she really can't stand any more blows! Do you understand!"
His face became haggard at some point, and Qi Lixi's scolding just made his brows tighten.
"Qilixi, don't you understand? She must survive."
"What must be, what right do you have to make her must?! This responsibility is yours, Li Changqing's!"
"I'm running out of time."
"You!"
Qilixi's eyes were filled with pain, but she couldn't continue to scold. He folded his fists, stared at him for a moment, and finally got up in resentment, "Why must it be you, there are so many ways, there must be other ways!"
Hearing this, the man behind the royal table turned slightly dark and shook his head slightly.
"In addition to hatred, I can't think of anything else that can make her like this. Only by cutting off her last bond can she be reborn."
"May--"
"I can't wait..."
Qilixi couldn't bear to look at the man's expression, his eyes were like this gray sky.
In the hall, there is only silence.
