The queen leaves the court

chapter 74
She was afraid that if she missed it, if she died, the loneliness concealed in this man's eyes would be even deeper.

Lowering her head, tears fell from her eyes, falling silently onto his clothes, her eyelids closed bit by bit, her head gently slid down and landed on An Zongbai's shoulder.

He only felt a weight on his shoulders, An Zongbo turned his head to look, and suddenly he reached out to support her, and An Zixun's uncontrollable crying could be heard next to his ears.

An Zongbai didn't seem to hear anything, he turned his face to her and said, "Zi Xun, your mother is a little tired, don't bother her to go out to play for a while, daddy will talk with her later, I will buy you some Cloud cake."

He spoke as if An Zixun was still a child. She remembered that An Zongbai rarely came back when she was a child, and would take her to buy cloud cakes...

He whispered to himself, holding her in his arms, whispering.

"Xiao Tong, there is something I have always wanted to tell you. We will go back in a few days. I will take you back to the fields and live in seclusion. I know you like the South China Sea. I will accompany you back. Plant wisteria flowers, and red beans, a lot A lot of them belong to you alone, Xiaotong, so I'll give them all to you, okay?"

Outside the tent, the sky suddenly changed, the cold mountain wind blew up, and the heavy rain poured down, obliterating all the sounds in the world, as if the heaven and the earth were in mourning...

Zong Bai, I'm going to leave you alone this time, I'm sorry...

Incense candles were offered on the table, and An Zixun guarded the empty mourning hall with great filial piety.

"Miss, you've been here for a whole day, at least take a rest and drink some water!" A Duan pleaded with An Zixun, she wouldn't eat, drink, talk, or even cry, as if she had no soul , Whoever shouted was ignored.

The food was brought in and taken out intact, she stared at Jin Xiaotong's name on the tablet, the only mother who cared so much for her that she could take her life away, left her in a blink of an eye.

She didn't understand whether Jin Xiaotong's effort without regret was worth it. In the last conversation between her and An Zongbai on her deathbed, she understood that the relationship between them no longer needed to be expressed in words.

After his mother passed away, his father almost became a different person. He was no longer the invincible God of War King Zhennan, but he was just a poor man who lost his beloved wife.

She used to be resentful again, and it disappeared.

The shadow behind her covered the light above her head, and slowly knelt down beside her.

"Baby." He sighed deeply and called to her.

"I'm fine. After three days of vigil, I will try to persuade my father to accept my mother's death." Her voice was hoarse, her eyes were bloodshot, but she was extremely calm.

"I can't leave you here alone."

"Then I will go to the Western Chu Imperial Capital with the prince. Firstly, I will not be in danger by your side, and secondly, I will not delay your trip." After she finished speaking, she reluctantly supported the ground and wanted to stand up.

He Lianqing quickly stepped forward to hug her, An Zixun didn't resist as usual, and used his strength to stand up straight, but her already numb legs couldn't be controlled, so she could only lean on He Lianqing's shoulders for support body weight.

"We're not going anywhere, we're just staying here."

Carried her back to the residence, her blood was not smooth after kneeling for a long time, He Lianqing gently rubbed her calf for a moment, then lifted her robe, a piece of her knee had been broken, oozing blood, the flesh and clothing were tightly bound Stick together.

He frowned, went out to get the medicine box, and then carefully treated An Zixun's wound.

She watched his series of movements silently, leaned there, and folded her hands on her lower abdomen.

The child in the womb, the mother was particularly concerned about before she was alive, the mother never knew it was a deception, but now there is really a little life in the womb.

"I'm thirsty," she said.

He Lianqing immediately got up and poured water for her, noticing that An Zixun's palm was on his lower abdomen, his gaze sank.

She said she didn't want the baby...

An Zixun also noticed that He Lianqing's eyes fell on her belly, and she understood what he meant.

"We have reconciled." She said plainly.

He Lianqing was shocked, "Can't you forgive me one more time?!"

An Zixun shook her head lightly and said, "He Lianqing, in fact, I was the one who was wrong. If I hadn't insisted on marrying you in the big wedding, I wouldn't have come to this point now!" She suddenly laughed, "No, I was wrong four years ago, wrong in the decision at that moment, completely wrong!"

"What four years ago?" He Lianqing was puzzled, but vaguely felt that what she said seemed to have a great connection with him!
She stared at him quietly, her eyes gradually became dazzled, as if she was recalling the past through him.

"One turn for four years, but it's a pity that I can never go back."

Time flows like water, if she hadn't insisted on going her own way four years ago, she wouldn't have met He Lianqing, wouldn't have gotten to know him, wouldn't have saved him before the ship exploded, wouldn't have...

"I only married you because you had the means to save my mother's life, so I destroyed your relationship with Hua Qianyou, and all the things I did to help you, all because of this reason, Helian Qing, I have been using you to get you It is only because of your trust in me that you can help my mother."

"It's useless for you to say these things, even if you are using me, those things are in the past, we both hurt each other, from now on, I will treat you well, you stay by my side, and neither of us will mention the previous things , don't mention it again!"

"The person I can't forget in my heart, who do you want to know?" She stretched out her hand to hold Helian Qing's arm.

He slowly raised his head, his coquettish eyes were dark and terrifying.

"I just fell in love with him, so I am humbler than him, smaller than him, despised by him, looked down upon by him, suspected by him, not cherished by him..."

She said every word with a very soft voice, like a light feather passing He Lianqing's ear and falling into his heart, suddenly it became a sharp sharp point piercing his heart, unable to move a centimeter, the pain arose.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of blood winding from between her legs onto her snow-white calf.

An Zixun whispered in pain, she clutched her lower abdomen and slowly curled up, her already pale face was almost wrinkled due to the pain.

"Helian Qing..." She called his name, shivering from the cold sweat of pain, and couldn't even finish her sentence. "Save the child... the child..." She almost exhausted her strength, but she held his fingers with terrifying strength, tightly entangled between his fingers.The messy strands of hair stuck to her cheek, An Zixun begged him with trembling lips.

He Lianqing wanted this child, the first in his life, and he even wanted to keep her by his side safely. She was the only woman he loved the most in this world...

"Baby, your life is more important!" At this moment, he gritted his teeth and said to her.

An Zixun tried his best to shake his palm away, "You are not good to me, but let me have a child, and now you let me not have a child, Helian Qing, why do you treat me like this, get out, get out! !"

In his eyes was her painful face, and in his ears was the sound of her heartbroken crying. He Lianqing stepped back step by step, and suddenly he turned and rushed outside.

He Lianqing paused outside the tent, staring at the visitor with red eyes.

"As long as you keep mother and child safe, I'll give you whatever you want!" His only hope was bet on Dongfang Feichi.The phoenix does not fall into a land without treasure, and it is absolutely not by accident that he can come here at this time.

"Really willing to give anything?" Dongfang Feichi asked He Lianqing again.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"I really said, you won't regret it?"

"One more word, and I'll kill you right away!" He Lianqing was not joking, his cold and murderous aura pervaded his body, Dongfang Feichi turned his head to the side, and rarely smiled at his expression.

After a while, he pointed to He Lianqing and said slowly: "Three Lives Gu."

This time, An Zixun almost had a miscarriage of blood, and the soup and medicine were delivered bowl by bowl. She vomited after drinking it, and then forced herself to drink it. If she collapsed, the baby in her belly would be even more difficult to keep.

"It's late at night, miss, where are you going?"

"How is my father these days?" She was wrapped in a thick cloak, and she was much thinner, showing a palm-sized face, frowning, making her sickly and pitiful.

"The marshal is in the mourning hall, the wife has been placed in the coffin, and the marshal is guarding a step and refuses to leave." Mentioning this, Ah Duan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. His wife died suddenly, the marshal was insane, and the young lady almost had a miscarriage...

When she was distracted, An Zixun had already walked out of the tent, followed closely by A Duan.

The candles in the mourning hall are brightly lit, and the pale elegiac couplets and black eulogy reflect the sadness of the room.

Jin Xiaotong was lying in the coffin, dressed in red, with neat makeup, and An Zongbai was beside her, stringing together red bean bracelets intently.His body was thin, his face was full of stubble, his usually cold and stern eyes had long since lost their charm, his clothes were stained with solidified blood and mud, and his embarrassment was even more desolate.

"Zixun, come and see the bracelet I made for your mother!" He saw An Zixun outside the door and waved to her. The bracelet was about to be put on. Your mother knows, I want to surprise her."

"Daddy made it beautifully, and mother likes it." She choked back her sobs and replied.

"By the way, Zixun also likes the things I made for her, but I'm about to go to war, and she's afraid she'll be unhappy again." He sighed helplessly, "She's grown up so much, I didn't accompany her well, even though Responsibility to be a father."

"She won't blame you."

An Zongbai didn't seem to hear her, and said to himself, "Zi Xun is very good, everyone says she looks like me, but in fact she is more like Xiao Tong, especially her eyes, very much like Xiao Tong. I don't want her to marry as far away as Xichu, but I have inquired that King Qing is not a mediocre person, my daughter is better than ten sons, and the best man in the world must be able to match her!" Speaking of Here, An Zongbo's eyes flashed with pride for her!
"Xiaotong, don't sleep anymore, Zixun has a child, and soon we will have grandchildren, our family will not be separated, okay?" He said in front of Jin Xiaotong's coffin.

He spoke incoherently and completely without order, and An Zixun felt extremely sad when he heard the things that he had never heard before.

An Zongbai would never say these things to her, just as his mother said, she didn't understand him, and she never even tried to understand her father.

In this world, the person who understood him and loved him left suddenly, An Zixun understood that his father had lost the person he relied on in his heart, leaving him with only boundless loneliness.

No matter how strong he was, he couldn't bear such a blow.

It's not that she doesn't love, but that she loves too deeply, into the marrow of her bones. When she gave birth to him, she gave birth to him. When she died, An Zongbo's soul was taken away, and he was just a shell left in the world.

It's a pity that love doesn't last long...

She couldn't persuade An Zongbai, and from another perspective, she probably couldn't accept such an ending either.

The silvery moonlight was like frost, and there was a person standing outside her door. He was dressed in pure white, and his long hair was simply pulled up by a purple scarf and hung behind him. His thin figure was staring at her intently.

With picturesque facial features, he always smiled indifferently, calm like water, but An Zixun knew that under the quiet water, Ji Yunshang's heart was like a raging torrent, which could swallow everything in an instant, without any hesitation. show mercy.
-
I will not hurt you!

With gentle features and elegant eyes, she rescued him and couldn't bear him being forced by the secular world. With his South China Sea ditty, she knew that he had ambitions that ordinary people couldn't match.

Indeed, he would never hurt her, but the pain he inflicted on her all came from the closest and most caring people around her.

Her eyes were full of hatred. She never knew that hating someone more than anything else made her lose control. Jin Xiaotong could have lived a peaceful life, but this person killed her, An Zongbai He became crazy, causing their family to be ruined!
"Is it my turn this time?" An Zixun sneered, raising her head and watching Ji Yunshang closely.

"I said, I won't hurt you." He said calmly.

"It's disgusting, should I thank you for letting me go?" She sneered with anger, but kept looking at him with a smile.

"Up to now, I have nothing to say. I can't make up for the pain of your mother's loss."

An Zixun narrowed her eyes but said: "There is a way, your life will be sacrificed to my mother and go to Huangquan Road!" After she finished speaking, she raised her arm, and the shuddering knife light flowed, and slashed towards Ji Yunshang head-on.

He turned slightly to avoid her menacing move. When it comes to martial arts, An Zixun would not be his opponent. Ji Yunshang just avoided, but she wanted to kill him with all her heart, and she was almost killed several times. She stabbed.

"Ah Xun!" He held An Zixun's wrist.

She sneered, and clasped her other hand backwards. Several hidden weapons were released from the palm of her hand, aiming at Ji Yunshang's death spot.

Ji Yunshang waved these hidden weapons down with her long sleeves, her eyes darkened.Jin Xiaotong tried his best to break open the acupoints he had tapped and rushed back. The reversal of the tendons undoubtedly brought his own abilities to the limit, and the final result was that the tendons were cut off.

He wanted to trap Jin Xiaotong without intending to hurt her, but he didn't expect such a result.

Ji Yunshang exerted force on her wrist, and then clasped An Zixun's hands, "Ah Xun, you can't kill me!"

"You have to try it!" An Zixun raised her jaw and stared at him coldly.

He clasped her wrist and frowned rarely, as if he was struggling, and then said slowly, "Kill me, and you will die."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" An Zixun shook her head in disbelief.

"You don't believe me? Then I'll prove it to you." He chuckled and took An Zixun's hand, she was still holding a sharp dagger in her hand, "Ah Xun, didn't you want to kill me?" He couldn't help but smile Without warning, he leaned forward.

puff~
The dagger pierced Ji Yunshang's heart, An Zixun had no time to react, the same part of her heart hurt sharply, she looked at the blood oozing from Ji Yunshang's snow-white clothes, she opened her mouth to say something, but took a light breath and then A sharp pain in the heart and mouth spread once.

"I didn't lie to you, my life and your life are linked together." He pulled out the dagger as if without pain, and leaned over to put his arms around her trembling shoulders.

"What did you do to me?" She pushed him away with one hand, a trace of horror flashed in her eyes.

"Leave Helianqing and come back to me. I promise you to keep the child, and your lives will be safe." With a slightly pale face, the words were so gentle, but every word made An Zixun hate him deeply.

She is not afraid of death, life is sometimes more painful than death, but she is reluctant...

Little by little, the palms of the hands are placed on the belly. There is no mother who does not love her child. Jin Xiaotong treats her like this. She treats the little life in her belly...

She hated He Lianqing's deceit. For this child, she was really looking forward to the birth.

"Why did you come to me? Why did it have to be me!" She finally asked in a deep voice.

Ji Yunshang lowered her eyes, raised her eyes for a moment and said, "Just pretend that I hate He Lianqing and make him feel bad."

Kaoru, what is the reason for my love for you?Even I can't figure it out myself...

After a sleepless night, she curled up in a corner of the bed. Ji Yunshang didn't lie to her, but she really felt the pain in his heart.

She will die, and the child...

Next to the pillow were the small clothes and tiger-toed shoes that Jin Xiaotong made for the unborn child, neatly put together, she picked up one and put it in her hand, her sour eyes suddenly couldn't stop the tears from falling down.

"Mother, what should I do?" Just like when she was a child, as long as she leaned in Jin Xiaotong's arms and smelled the scent of wisteria flowers on her clothes, her heart would be filled with stability.

Now, there is no one she can rely on.
