Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 137
The light gradually dimmed and settled, and the shear flow wrapped around the carved and lacquered bed in the inner room. After the rain was over, the gauze curtain was lifted, and seeing the person on the bed curled up with his back facing him, he couldn't help but worried, and called softly: "Miss, these You haven't eaten well for a few days, no matter what, it's better to eat more or less."

Although Shi Yiqing on the bed didn't answer, Jianliu knew that she was not fast asleep at this time, and he didn't want to leave just now, so he could only walk around to the side table and sit down to wait.

The sun has finally completely disappeared. In the black sky, except for the incomplete moon, not even a single dazzling star has appeared. The huge world has been plunged into darkness. Candles are lit.

Lian Ying tiptoed around from behind the screen, softly called out Jian Liu, and said anxiously: "It's not good, I heard that the third lady is going to the old lady's side to ask the young master to go there!"

Jian Liu was taken aback for a moment, only to feel that the blood in his body was congealed, and his consciousness was suddenly emptied, and he panicked: "What? Why did it happen so suddenly? Didn't the old lady have already expressed her attitude and would not let the young master go to the third lady's place?" By the side? Is this news reliable? Who told you?"

"Sister Zhuxi sent someone to tell you. You also know Miss's current situation..." Lian Ying suddenly stopped talking, lowered her head in a panic, and called out, "Miss, are you awake?"

Jianliu looked back in astonishment, and really saw Shi Yiqing standing on the screen in thin clothes, a cold wind blew from the door, and the clothes fluttered in the air, seeing that her supposedly pretty and beautiful cheeks were pale, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart In pain, he hurriedly took the cloak behind the screen and wrapped it around Shi Yiqing's body: "Miss is too careless. Although it is still very hot today, it is extremely easy to catch wind and cold."

Shi Yiqing's eyes were as cold as frost, he stared straight at the shadow, and said in a hoarse voice: "Repeat what you just said, what do you mean you want the young master to go there?"

Lian Ying glanced at Shi Yiqing secretly, and felt as if she had fallen into an ice hole with just one glance. She couldn't help trembling all over, and said in a panic: "Small, miss, slave... slave..."

Seeing that Lian Ying's mind was in a mess, Jian Liu was afraid that Shi Yiqing would get angry, so he hurriedly interjected: "Miss, don't worry, if you want the old lady, you won't let the third lady take the young master over easily, after all..."

Shi Yiqing looked at the sky from a distance, sneered, and said: "After all, after all what? She is the main wife of the third bedroom, my mother in name, and who can object to taking a concubine's son to her knees." The icy cold The sound spread in the darkness, and the violent shear flow trembled from the bottom of my heart.

Even though it was late at night, Shi Yiqing was surrounded by people. She was afraid that the walls would have ears, and even if she was afraid of offending Shi Yiqing, she stepped forward tremblingly and persuaded: "Miss, don't show your emotions like this anymore, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will spread Going out will make the old lady and the master unhappy."

Shi Yiqing turned his eyes and stared at Jianliu deeply, and after a while he let out a sigh of relief, and with the help of Jianliu and the shadow of the curtain, he turned back to the inside and got on the lacquered bed, but he didn't feel sleepy.

It has been more than a few months since Aunt Xiao was buried in Fahua Temple, but Shi Yiqing still cannot let go of her death.Shi Yiqing can't forget the bright red that flowed by her feet, the heart-piercing cry of Madam Xu, and the miserable but fragile cry when the child left the mother's womb.

Shi Yiqing couldn't let it go, there was hatred for Yang Lianxiang, resentment for the old lady Meng, and remorse for not being able to protect Aunt Xiao. She would rather use this way of exile to punish herself than pretend that everything was wrong. Nothing happened, and she still lived a comfortable life as a young lady.

Now, she can no longer allow herself to be like this, whether it is for Aunt Xiao who is alive in the sky, or for Aunt Xu, Jianliu and others who have been guarding her all the time, she can no longer allow others to manipulate and hurt her like this!
The dazzling morning star rose from the end of the line of sight, followed by the sun emitting scorching light. Shi Yiqing was served by Mo Xianhemu and the others in a light blue dress that was not old and was simply rolled up. In one shot, he went out of Ranyuezhi and entered Chunhui Hall.

The old lady was sitting on the Arhat couch, and when she saw Shi Yiqing, her surprise flashed across her face, she still smiled dotingly and spoke, but what was hidden under that smile was the estrangement and distance: "Qing'er, you are not in good health. Li Suo, why did you come to the old woman?"

Shi Yiqing lowered his head and smiled lightly, that smile was the same as before, and no one could see any resentment and complaints: "Qing'er has been lingering in the sick bed for many days, and misses grandma very much, looking forward to seeing her face, how can I care about it?" What ailment."

Zhu Xi at the side asked the girl below to bring a small table with courtesy, the old lady waved to Shi Yiqing, and said dotingly: "Of course my heart wants to sit next to the old woman, where else can I sit?" The truth on the table."

The eldest lady who sat down looked at Shi Yiqing with an inexplicable expression and smiled: "How can I say that she is my mother's granddaughter? After seeing that kind of scene, it took only a month or so to recover, and her mouth is still the same as before. It's as sweet as honey."

The old lady put on a look of displeasure, but her heart was uneasy and full of worries: "Qing'er was frightened so much, you, as an aunt, didn't come to comfort her, but you still have to stay here Are you making sarcastic remarks?"

The third lady, Yang Lianxiang, saw that the eldest lady was slacking off at the old lady's side, she couldn't help feeling secretly happy, how could she see the weird atmosphere in the room, she put on a kind look on her face, the smiles at the corners of her eyes couldn't be hidden Live: "What mother said is very true. Thinking about Qing'er being young, she has to face these things. It's really hard for her. Fortunately, mother loves her, otherwise she is really a pitiful little girl."

The second lady was holding hot tea and was about to drink it, when she heard this, she looked at Yang Lianxiang with mocking eyes through the tea bowl.

Shi Yiqing saw Yang Lianxiang's appearance of being a villain, so he didn't argue with her, stood up and knelt under the old lady's knees, and Qingling's voice broke Chunhuitang's depression: "I hope grandma will redeem Qing'er's sin. Qing'er My son came to see grandma today, not just to pay her respects, but to ask for something."

The old lady only thought that Shi Yiqing wanted her to thoroughly investigate Aunt Xiao's affairs, and she couldn't help but feel unhappy: "Although you are a young lady of the Shi family, I am your grandmother, but you must know that there are some things that I help Not yours."

Shi Yiqing leaned over and kowtowed, straightened up and looked directly at the old lady Meng, and said slowly: "Qing'er doesn't come to beg grandmother for other things, but Qing'er is worried that the younger brother will lose his aunt, and it is not a good idea to rely on the nanny to give birth. For the solution, I also hope that the grandmother will allow the younger brother to belong to the mother's knees, and hope that the mother can raise the younger brother to grow up and give glory to our family!"

One sentence was like a thunderbolt, which shocked the huge Chunhui Hall.The old lady leaned back on the soft couch and was speechless for a long time, the eldest lady and the second lady were relatively speechless, and the third lady Yang Lianxiang even jumped up from the back of the chair, looking at Shi Yiqing with complicated expressions.

After a long time, the old lady regained consciousness for a while, and with a pale face, she hurriedly said to Shi Yiqing: "You, do you know what you are talking about?"

Shi Yiqing said in a loud voice: "Back to grandma, Qing'er knows what I'm talking about. Although the younger brother was born to his aunt, he is also the mother's son. Even if the aunt is still alive, the younger brother must be brought up by his mother. Now My aunt passed away unfortunately. Although Qing'er does not want her mother to work too hard for her younger brother, she also hopes that her younger brother will be loved by her mother, raised under her knees, and live a safe life! Grandma, please follow Qing'er's wish!"

The old lady looked at Shi Yiqing with a pair of turbid eyes, and saw that she was dignified and not hiding anything, and felt that she couldn't see through her. In front of the three ladies, it was not good to speak too explicitly. Let everyone see the clues.But if she agrees to this, her Meng family will keep her promise, and she is afraid that the child who is not yet full-term will be killed by her just after being handed over to Yang Lianxiang.

Thinking of this, the old lady Meng only felt severe brain pain, waved her hand impatiently with a white face, and said: "Let me think about this matter again, you all go back and rest."

The eldest lady and the second lady looked at each other, then retreated according to the etiquette.The old lady frowned and saw that the third lady Yang Lianxiang was sitting on the back of the chair, she had no intention of getting up and leaving, she became more and more displeased with her, and lost her temper: "What are you still doing here?"

The third wife, Yang Lianxiang, was upset by the old lady's scolding, and her emotions flashed across her cheeks in an instant, but she still kept smiling and said, "My daughter-in-law is still waiting for the nanny to bring the baby out and go back together."

The old lady waved her hand impatiently, and said: "The child is still asleep at this time, so it is not convenient for you to go back. You can go back to your Tangli courtyard, and I will naturally ask the nanny to carry the child to you later. of."

Yang Lianxiang's nose was ashamed, she had a long face, she couldn't hold back her expression, she bent down and saluted, and she left Chunhui Hall.

After the three wives left Chunhui Hall one after another, the old lady showed her emotions and said to Shi Yiqing who was kneeling in front of her angrily, "Do you know what you are talking about?!"

Shi Yiqing straightened his body and lowered his eyes, and replied in a clear voice: "I know."

"Knowing that you still want to do this?" The old lady expressed her incomprehension to Shi Yiqing's indifference.

Shi Yiqing raised his eyes to look back at the old lady, and said softly, "It's because I knew that I did this. Qing'er is grateful to the grandmother for letting someone tell Qing'er about this, so it can be seen that the grandmother will take Qing'er and the younger brother seriously. Qing'er also understands what will happen if the child is given to the third wife, but, grandmother, the third wife is the mother of Qing'er and the younger brother after all, and logically speaking, the younger brother should be raised by the third wife. "

She paused, and continued: "If the third wife raises her younger brother well, it can be regarded as gaining her a good reputation, allowing the people in the capital to praise our Shi family's strict family style, and making father and two uncles look good. Also, Qing'er thought to herself, as long as there is grandma around, the third wife won't be mean to younger brother, won't she?"

The old lady was silent for a long time, then she let out a faint sigh, and said slowly: "You are right, how long can I, an old woman, live and protect your brothers and sisters. Forget it, just follow what you said Come on, I'm too lazy to take care of these things." After finishing speaking, the old lady motioned for Zhu Xi to help her go to the inner room to rest, without even looking at Shi Yiqing.

After Zhu Xi made the old lady fall asleep, she turned around and went out of the room, and suddenly saw Shi Yiqing still kneeling in front of the Arhat's couch, she couldn't help but secretly surprised, walked slowly in front of her, and said softly: "The old ancestor has already fallen asleep, nine Let's get up, miss."

Seeing that it was Zhu Xi, Shi Yiqing smiled wryly, and let Mo Xian and He Mu help him up from the ground: "Qing'er hasn't thanked sister Zhu Xi yet."

Zhu Xi hurriedly said: "Miss, you don't need to thank me, all of this was arranged by the ancestors, otherwise who would have the courage to tell the matter to the miss? It's just that what the miss sang today is really Let the ancestors be caught off guard."

There was a trace of grief in Shi Yiqing's expression, but he forced a smile on his face, and said: "The younger brother was born before he was full-term. If no one takes good care of him, he may be sick if he survives. Instead of letting grandma worry about it, Why don't you just push the younger brother out, wouldn't that be better?"

Zhu Xi stared at Shi Yiqing with complicated eyes, and after a while he calmed down, and said, "Miss Nine, you really are thoughtful and well-meaning."

Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes and nodded, smiling lightly.

Saying goodbye to Zhu Xi, Shi Yiqing was supported by Mo Xian and He Mu and went back to Ranyuezhi. When Jianliu at the door saw Shi Yiqing's description, he couldn't help being taken aback, and hurried forward to help, asking Said: "Miss, what's the matter?"

Shi Yiqing was supported to sit on the back of the chair, waved his hands, and said slowly: "It's nothing serious, but knees are a little sore after kneeling for a long time, and it will be fine in a while."

Jian Liu was worried and went to see Shi Yiqing, and was about to ask, but seeing Shi Yiqing's tired face, he had no choice but to stop talking.

The sun was towards the west, and it seemed that he was unwilling to be silent in the darkness, struggling not to fall, and burning the whole sky red.He Mu led Nanny Xu into Ranyuezhi, and before he could speak, he saw Jianliu standing under the porch put a finger on the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help being taken aback, and asked softly: "What are you doing here? ?”

Seeing Mammy Xu slowing down with an anxious look, she hurriedly said, "It's good that Mammy is here, go in and have a look at Miss, since I came back from the old lady's side in the morning, I just sat on the chair and didn't mind. Talking, not eating, just being so blank, it makes people feel flustered!"

When Mother Xu heard this, she also panicked, and hurriedly walked into the room through the curtain, and saw Shi Yiqing sitting on the back of the chair, with a dull and empty expression, as if her soul had disappeared.Even in such a difficult situation in Lin County, Madam Xu had never seen Shi Yiqing like this before, she couldn't help but feel cramped in her heart, she turned around with red eyes and was about to leave the room.

She couldn't tolerate Xu Mama crying behind her back like this, hurriedly stood in front of Xu Mama, and said softly, "Where is Mama going? Miss is already like this, you can't ignore it! "

He Mu on the side is a bystander, seeing that Jianliu is concerned but chaotic, Madam Xu is emotional, both of them lost their minds, impatient to persuade them, so they walked quickly in front of Shi Yiqing, knelt down and said softly: "Miss, Are you hungry? Do you want your slaves to make some rice porridge?"

Shi Yiqing shook his head lightly, raised a pair of silent eyes to look at Mother Xu, who was standing sideways at the door, and wanted to smile with his lips curled up, but the smile disappeared quickly in the void.

"Nurse, why are you here on such a hot day?"

Mother Xu took two deep breaths, calmed down her emotions, and then dared to turn around and sit down next to Shi Yiqing, raised her hand to stroke Shi Yiqing's hair, and said softly: "I haven't seen Qing'er for many days, I wanted to know what Qing'er was doing these days, so I came in to have a look because I was very curious."

Shi Yiqing fell into Madam Xu's arms, clasped her waist tightly with both hands, and said coquettishly and complaining: "It's so hot today that people don't even want to move. Fortunately, Madam You can come in and have a look at Qing'er, otherwise Qing'er will be suffocated to death."

Mother Xu resisted the tears rolling in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "My Qing'er is so weird, how could she be suffocated to death?"

With his back on his back and holding a towel, Jianliu wiped away his tears, and He Mu, who was standing by and waiting, saw him, turned and left the room with a disconsolate face, to arrange dinner for Shi Yiqing.Not long after, Fang Fei came in with sour plum soup, she was not surprised when she saw Madam Xu, she put the soup bowl on a small table beside her, and was dragged out of the room by the sensible He Mu, standing outside to wait .

Mammy Xu fed Shi Yiqing with sour plum soup. Seeing that Shi Yiqing was clinging to her like she was when she was a child, but her expression of pretending to forget everything made her heart ache, and she couldn't help blurting out: "Qing'er, don't worry, even if I am an old woman Even if you risk your life, you won't let those people go!"

Shi Yiqing's expression didn't change, he just looked up at Nanny Xu with clear eyes, and said slowly after a long time: "Mama wants to rely on the power of the Xiao family to avenge her personal revenge, I'm afraid the Xiao family won't forgive me if they find out. yours."

Madam Xu looked at Shi Yiqing in shock. Shi Yiqing, who lowered his head and sipped the soup, looked unchanged, but gave off a fierce and murderous look out of thin air.

"Don't worry, mammy, I won't let anyone who took my mother's life into these designs." Shi Yiqing put his hands on his knees, tilted his head and looked at mammy Xu, with a calm expression, and said slowly, " I will let them pay in blood!"

"Qing'er!" Madam Xu looked at Shi Yiqing in fear, she couldn't believe that the well-behaved and kind-hearted child in her memory would become like this.

Shi Yiqing looked at Madam Xu with a calm expression, and said softly, "Mama, I know what you're thinking and what the consequences will be if I go on like this, but I don't care anymore."
