Is the emperor cremated today?

Chapter 25
As if being stimulated, he suddenly pinched her face, stared closely at her eyes, and said in a sinister tone, "Don't look at me like that, I'm not wrong! What I want will be carefully planned Get it, the throne belongs to me, and so do you. Your father died because of me, and the Xu family’s fire was also because of me. Don’t you just want to hear this? Then, I guess, you will leave me and put I forgot, have you lived the life you want? No! Don’t even think about it! I want to be with you forever!”

He was very close to her, and he could hear clearly, every word and every word was like a knife, piercing her heart full of holes, she looked at him, and felt that he was getting farther and farther away from her, he was in front of her, Can't see him at all.

Her body is getting colder and colder. Although she is covered with a brocade quilt, it is like falling into an ice cave. Something in her body is constantly gushing out, as if she is about to become a body, and the familiar darkness surrounds her again. Are parents coming to pick her up?
That's great, she closed her eyes with peace of mind, and let the darkness surround her.

Xiao Qi looked at her gradually slacking eyes, and when the last light disappeared in her eyes, and he himself disappeared in her closed eyes, great fear swept him!

He let go of her hand holding her face, and she leaned softly on his chest. He tentatively called her, but couldn't hear any response from her. He wanted to shake her awake, but found that her face was getting softer. It became more and more disheartening, and then, I smelled a bloody smell in my nose, child!
"No! Come on, come on!" He hugged her and roared.

Her body was twitching, and it seemed that her life was being stripped away a little bit.

Footsteps sounded on the deck one after another, Ji Weiliang walked in quickly, and saw His Majesty holding the woman in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Go to the shore, go to the shore quickly, go to the doctor, she can't die, she can't die..."

He roared, and in the end it gradually turned into a whisper that only he could hear...

……

Xiao Qi, who was caught in the memory, seemed to be still unable to get out of that scene, his eyes were full of fear and loss.

Chen Fengling saw that he rarely showed such emotions, and he didn't know what he thought of, which could blow him like this.

Xiao Qi said at this moment: "Do you know why I didn't dare to tell her? There are many things between us that can't be explained clearly. I really didn't care about her father's death, and I really only wanted to save her. Keep her with me, but, child, our first child died when she was most desperate."

Xiao Qi's expression was painful, but there was a hint of sarcasm, "But I think she loves me, is it wrong to stay by my side? I only want her to see me alone, and only care about me. Others It doesn't matter if she dies, there will be another child after she's gone, even if she doesn't have a child, it doesn't matter, but why, she wants to stay away from me, so it doesn't matter, I will give her what she wants, and I will try my best to be her when she cares about the world. A good emperor, she cares about her family, so I will build another home for her! Sometimes I think it’s good for her to forget, so she won’t ignore me or leave me, so it’s very easy now Well, as long as she never remembers, she won't leave me."

The more Chen Fengling heard it, the more frightened she became, and the more she felt that something was wrong with him.

Xiao Qi has become paranoid to the point of madness because of Xu Miaoyin, and can do anything to keep Xu Miaoyin, including his life, which reminds him of what Xiao Qi did to prevent Xu Miaoyin from leaving the house. something crazy.

Chen Fengling was taken aback, then if Xu Miaoyin was gone, Xiao Qi might really go crazy, which would not be a good thing for the world.

But the two of them spending time in Yangzhou like this is not good for the world. He has to find a way to solve the deadlock between Xiao Qi and Xu Miaoyin.

To solve the deadlock between the two of them, Xiao Qi had to understand that what he did was not good for either of them, it would only push Xu Miaoyin further and further away.

At this time, a secret guard came to report that the pills given by Lu Shifang had been tested and found to be non-toxic.

Holding the pill in his hand, Xiao Qi smiled strangely.

Upon seeing this, Chen Fengling asked, "What is this pill for?"

Xiao Qi glanced at Chen Fengling, and his expression returned to normal, "Things that can solve all troubles."

Chen Fengling had a bad feeling.

It seemed that he had to go find Lu Shifang. Thinking of this, Chen Fengling resigned to Xiao Qi and left the study.

When Chen Fengling left the study room, she headed towards the guest courtyard where Lu Shifang lived. As soon as she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she was stopped.

"Mr. Chen, the master has ordered no one to enter or leave without his order, please go back!" The guard at the gate said.

"Is Doctor Lu okay now?" Chen Fengling asked.

The guard looked at his companions, and replied truthfully: "Uh, except for Miracle Doctor Lu who sits at the gate of the courtyard and scolds people at noon every day, everything is fine."

Chen Fengling breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Xiao Qi would go crazy and try to kill Lu Shifang.

But since he can swear at people every day, it shouldn't be a serious problem, but he can't see anyone, so he can't ask.

Chen Fengling thought about it for a moment, then smiled, he is not the only one on the mountain, as long as he comes to the mountain, he will come back at noon tomorrow, and talk through the gate of the courtyard, so he will not be denied permission!
Xiao Qi took the pill and went back to Lanyin Academy. Xu Miaoyin was preparing Yuchun's dowry at this time, and was asking Yuqiu to count her current jewelry and money in her hand.

Xu Miaoyin looked back when she heard footsteps, and found that it was Xiao Qi, and turned back to count with Yuqiu, ignoring him.

Xu Miaoyin could ignore it, but Yuqiu couldn't. Yuqiu stood up and saluted, and then planned to retreat, but was stopped by Xu Miaoyin.

"Yuqiu, sit down and continue."

Seeing Xu Miaoyin's resolute attitude, Yuqiu bit the bullet and stayed, but speeded up and counted the money and jewelry in front of her.

Xiao Qi was not annoyed, he smiled, and sat on the soft couch beside him, watching the master and servant take care of themselves.

In fact, she doesn't have to work so hard, as long as she wants, he will help her do it!

I don't know how long it took, Xu Miaoyin seemed to have forgotten that Xiao Qi was still at the side, and counted the jewelry and money she had, and the total was only 2000 taels, but it was enough for her to buy for Yuqiu and Yuchun dowry.

"Yuqiu, take the 200 taels of silver to Uncle Song, saying that this is money for buying a house." Xu Miaoyin said and handed the banknote to Yuqiu.

Yuqiu feels relieved, and finally able to leave, doing things under the gaze of her master is really stressful!
Yuqiu agreed resoundingly, took the silver ticket and left Lanyin Academy.

Seeing that she was free, and there were only the two of them in the room, Xiao Qi asked chattingly: "You don't need to touch your body if you want to buy a house for Yuchun, just tell me and I will help you do it." of."

Xu Miaoyin said indifferently: "I can handle my own affairs, so I won't bother Your Highness."

"But we are husband and wife, I will share with you whatever happens." Xiao Qi said as he wanted to hold her hand, but she avoided it.

Xu Miaoyin walked to the other side of the soft couch and sat down, took out the sachet that she had just started to embroider in the embroidery frame, and embroidered, as if she didn't want to talk to him.

Xiao Qi sat next to her, seeing that what she made was a Xiangyun sachet with the swastika pattern, his heart felt sore and swelled.

When they first got married, it seemed to be the same situation. He saw her embroidering a sachet, and he asked her who it was for, and she smiled and said that it was for her father. He still remembered her smile at that time, Rumu The love is in her eyes, which made him jealous, so he begged her to make one for himself.

It was getting dark at that time, but she was still embroidering, so he sat beside her like today and asked her.

"For me?"

"It's for Dad. We started embroidering it before we got married, but we never had time to embroider it. I just wanted to finish it when I had nothing to do."

After finishing speaking, he was thinking about doing a few more stitches, and evened out the stitches, but he took it away and put it back into the embroidery frame.

"It's getting dark, be careful not to hurt your eyes, let's have a meal first."

After speaking, he pulled her to the outside room.

"Madam, make me a sachet anytime."

"Okay, what kind of pattern do you like?"

"Except for the Xiangyun pattern!"

"……it is good."

Afterwards, she did make herself a sachet, which he always carried with him, but he lost it on the day he won the throne.

Xiao Qi laughed at himself, maybe it was an omen, the sachet was lost, and he lost her too.

"Miaomiao, make me another sachet!"

Xu Miaoyin said without thinking: "Okay, what style do you want?" After speaking, Xu Miaoyin realized what she had done.

She couldn't help but smile wryly, it seemed that being kind to him had been engraved into her bones, and she had formed a habit unconsciously.

This habit is very bad, she has to change, Xu Miaoyin warned herself.

Xiao Qi was very happy, even though it was only a moment of her kindness, it could make him happy for a long time, "As long as it is embroidered by you, I like it."

Xu Miaoyin said indifferently: "My embroidery work is vulgar, so I don't want to make a fool of myself in front of Your Highness."

After finishing speaking, he ignored him and concentrated on embroidering the sachet in his hand.

But Xiao Qi didn't want to let her go. Since she has feelings for him, he can ask her to forgive him after a long time, and she will definitely forgive him.

Since you want her to forgive herself, let her think more about the good memories that happened between them.

"Miaomiao, do you still remember when we were just married, I saw you embroidering a purse for my father, and I was a little jealous, so I asked you to make one for me too. It was the first time you made it for me, and my heart Very happy."

Xiao Qi naively thought that this would always arouse her love for him!But she neglected that the current Xu Miaoyin is not the previous Xu Miaoyin, she is full of defense against him now.

Xu Miaoyin did recall that memory, but she also reminded her how stupid she was to be coaxed by this man to accept him without any precautions.

Xu Miaoyin only felt that those memories were like needles pricking her heart densely with pain and regret.

Xu Miaoyin put down the sachet in her hand, her face was a little cold, "I don't remember, if you are bored and really want a sachet, then learn to embroider by yourself!"

After speaking, Xu Miaoyin walked out of the inner room.

Xiao Qi picked up the sachet in the embroidery frame and inspected it. He really embroidered the sachet, but he pricked his finger with just one stitch. He looked at the blood dripping out and smiled slightly.

After Xu Miaoyin left the house, she stood under the porch feeling a little suffocated, so she planned to go to the garden to relax.

It's already midsummer, and the garden is full of flowers, Xu Miaoyin walked aimlessly, rested in the gazebo when she was tired, and didn't dare to go back to Lanyin Academy easily, now she really doesn't want to see Xiao Qi.

Xu Miaoyin was resting in the pavilion, but met Chen Fengling who came out from Lu Shifang.

Chen Fengling didn't expect to meet Xu Miaoyin who was alone, so after thinking for a while, she walked over.

After the two greeted each other, they inevitably talked about Xu Jiaoyue.

"I really want to thank Mr. Chen for his teaching. Jiaoyue has indeed learned a lot recently." Xu Miaoyin said gratefully.

Chen Fengling was somewhat ashamed of it, only he himself knew about the lectures every morning, he would only pretend to teach when Xu Miaoyin was around, other times he and Xu Jiaoyue were doing their own things.

Chen Fenglin could only say grumblingly: "Ma'am, you don't need to thank me, it's all my job."

"Mr. Chen is too self-effacing. Jiaoyue is much more sensible now. If it weren't for Mr. Chen's teachings during this period of time, Jiaoyue would not be able to express some insights into life. To be honest, sometimes I want her to grow up, but when When she really grows up and knows how to care about the people around her, I think it's better for her not to grow up, so that she can know less about the suffering in the world."

Perhaps it was because she was too depressed recently, and she had no one to express the distress in her heart, so she said so many things to Chen Fengling unconsciously.

Chen Fengling could only act as if she didn't understand what she meant, but she felt a little sympathetic to the woman in front of her. If she found out that the person next to her pillow was calculating and calculating, she probably wouldn't be much better than her, that feeling of powerlessness under the oppression of the imperial power. , no one knows better than him.

"Ma'am, don't worry about the second girl. People will grow up. It's better to understand the world under the guidance of someone than to grow up in adversity." Chen Fengling comforted.

Xu Miaoyin nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Mr. is right. Jiaoyue has a pure personality, and she actually reminds me not to be fooled by others. Thanks to Mr. for guiding her."

Chen Fengling changed her mind when she heard the words, and said tentatively: "I dare not take it seriously, it's because the second girl has a good understanding, but why does she think that Madam will be deceived?"

Xu Miaoyin looked at Chen Fengling and smiled, then turned to face the lotus pond and said, "Don't you know about this, I think you know something."

Chen Fengling's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xu Miaoyin was doubting herself?

Impossible, he rarely had contact with Xu Miaoyin, how could he show his secrets in front of her?

Just when Chen Fengling was doubting herself, she heard Xu Miaoyin say again: "Since sir is Xiao Qi's friend, he is a distinguished guest of Xu's mansion. In the future, it will be inconvenient for him to teach my little sister, so as not to neglect the distinguished guest. Please do as you please, Mr. Chen. Go first."

Xu Miaoyin didn't want to say anything more to Chen Fengling. He was attracted by Xiao Qi. She didn't know whether Chen Fengling was involved in Xiao Qi's affairs, but he must have come to Xu's house for a purpose. She already understood from the conversation just now. Maybe he knew what Xiao Qi had done, so she didn't need to argue with him in front of him, she might as well let it go.

From Xu Miaoyin's point of view, Chen Fengling is just a variable. She doesn't know whether this variable is good or bad, but she doesn't want him to be close to her family!
