Rebirth after waste

Chapter 105

God knows how hard it took him just now to control his emotions and not show his clues in front of them.

For so many years, he has always known that she is not doing well, but he never thought that she has worked so hard.

He recalled that in the past, Xiao Ci was unable to conceive for a long time, and the clan elders were harsh on her.Later, he was the one who came forward and shouldered all the blame, and finally rescued Xiaoci.Even the wife of an ordinary man like him would be under such great pressure because of childlessness, let alone the queen who is the mother of the world?

How much fear had she hidden in her heart all these years?

And what kind of resentment is it that makes her say such things in front of everyone?
He felt terrified just thinking about it.

The trees in front of him disappeared, and a frozen lake appeared before his eyes.He stopped abruptly, only then realized that he had come here unconsciously.

He was too disturbed just now, and he was afraid that if he continued to stay in the house, he would lose control of his emotions, so he ran out.Aimlessly, the footsteps brought him here automatically.

Last time, he met her on this frozen lake.

Thinking of this, he smiled wryly and shook his head.How could she come here at a time like this?

A gust of wind blew up, and the white on the ice lake fluttered like water waves.He opened his eyes wide in surprise, only to realize that he was actually standing there alone.

Because she was wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak, standing far away in the middle of the frozen lake, as if merging with the ice surface, he didn't recognize her for a while.

The fox fur cloak on her fluttered left and right in the breeze, looking a bit unspeakably bleak.

He stepped forward slowly and walked to her side step by step.

"Mistress Chongyi." He said softly.

Under the hood, Gu Yunxian's lips slightly raised, "I heard footsteps just now, so I guessed it was your lord. Sure enough."

The mood was too complicated, so Cui Shuo couldn't be happy because of her familiar tone to him, he just said: "Your Majesty shouldn't come out alone at such a time. It's dangerous."

Gu Yunxian turned his head and stared at Cui Shuo for a while, smiling calmly, "So, your lord has heard the news?"

Cui Shuo was silent.

"I reckon it's also in the past few days." Gu Yunxian said, "They took so much effort to find out about me, so it's better to let everyone who should know know."

No matter how strict the emperor's order was, Ming Xiuyi and Yu Zhaoyi would not give up publicizing this matter.Gu Yunxian understands, and they understand even more, only by letting the ministers know that she, the former empress, is destined not to have children, can she completely cut off the possibility of her restoration.

This time, the two of them became a front.

"Weichen knows that the empress is very sad. But no matter how sad you are, don't vent your anger on your body. If you are sick, it will only make those who care about you sad."

Gu Yunxian looked at him, "How does your lord know that I'm sad? You won't understand what I'm feeling."

Cui Shuo forced a smile, "My wife has been in poor health since she was a child, and she never left her mouth after marrying the minister. The doctor said that her body is not suitable for having a child, and that it would be very dangerous to conceive. But even knowing this, she still refused to give up. She begged me many times overtly and secretly. However, I never promised her."

Gu Yunxian was stunned when he heard that, "Why? Don't adults want to have their own children?"

"Of course I hope." Cui Shuo said, "but compared to the child who has no shadow, I care more about the person in front of me. If it is for it, I have to trade another person's life, I am absolutely unwilling." Gentle, "I know that most women want to have their own children, but children are not as important as their own bodies. Cherishing yourself is the most important thing."

Gu Yunxian stared at him for a long time, then lowered his head with a smile, "My lord's wife is really lucky to have a husband who considers her so much."

Cui Shuo could hear the self-harm and self-pity in her words, and realized that he was eager to comfort her just now, and the lack of consideration in his words probably made her even more sad.

After thinking for a while, he remedied: "Actually, Your Majesty still cares about Your Majesty very much. These days, I often accompany His Majesty by your side, so it can be seen..."

"My lord, stop talking." Gu Yunxian interrupted him, "I don't want to hear these words."

Cui Shuo was speechless.

After Gu Yunxian said this sentence with a blunt attitude, he turned his head and looked into the distance.

Cui Shuo couldn't figure out her attitude, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Can my lord tell me something about you and your wife?"

He was silent when he suddenly heard Gu Yunxian's voice.Cui Shuo looked up and saw Gu Yunxian looking at him quietly with a smile on his lips.

He was in a daze.

What about him and Wei Ci?

Cui Shuo still remembered that when he first heard the name Wei Ci, Gu Yunxian had been in the palace for a year and a half.

After waiting for so long, the patriarch finally lost all his patience, and without telling him, made an engagement for him with the fifth lady of the Wei family of Chen Jun.

He was furious when he found out, and broke into the patriarch's study directly.

Facing his questioning, the patriarch looked calm, "The third lady Gu you mentioned has stayed in Changle Palace as a guest since she entered the palace in the first month of last year, and has never come out since. I sent someone to inquire about it a few months ago. The empress likes her very much, and intends to arrange the marriage for her personally." There was a hint of pressure in her tone, "The person the empress likes, the family can no longer come to propose marriage for you. There is no possibility between you."

Although he has become more and more aware of this result over the past year, it is still difficult to accept what he said now.

Suppressing his emotions, he said stubbornly: "Even so, I will not let you decide my marriage!"

"It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. I have already sent someone to deliver the dowry." The patriarch said lightly, "If you want to regret the marriage and ruin Miss Wei's reputation, you can do as you wish. I won't stop you. "

He gritted his teeth sorely.

Only later did he know that the Wei Wuniang chosen for him by the clan was the one on the list that the patriarch handed him back then.A year has passed, and everyone else above has good sons-in-law, but Wei Wuniang is still in her boudoir.

"I saw that it says that this lady of Wei Wu is a descendant of her father, and she is quite favored by her father. The Wei family is also one of the rich families in Chen County. If that is the case, why is she willing to marry a bastard like me?" He asked .

Seeing that he was finally willing to care about him, the servant who was in charge of lobbying him couldn't help being overjoyed: "Of course it's because he admires the character and appearance of the sixth son! The villain heard that this Wei Wuniang fell in love with the son several years ago. , swear not to marry the king!"

Hearing this, he smiled lightly, turned around and thought of other ways to find out the situation.

The young servant who had been serving him went to inquire about it, and finally told him the truth when he came back, "This lady of Wei Wu was born weak and weak, and according to the doctor, she will not live long. Everyone thinks that marrying a sick child is impossible. Hosting Zhongfu, the second is that the incense cannot be continued. If it disappears in a few years, it will add a lot of bad luck. So even though she was born beautiful and she is a descendant, no high-ranking son is willing to marry. But with her status, it is impossible Find someone who is too bad to marry. If you can't be high or low, you have to wait until now." After a pause, he continued, "The patriarch has a very close relationship with the patriarch of the Wei family in the past two years. relationship, so I decided to let you marry her, son."

nature.His identity couldn't be more appropriate.The son of a concubine from a prominent family, although his status is not as good as that of Wei Wuniang, he has a great reputation.

Wei Wuniang was not wronged to marry him.

He dropped the paper in his hand in annoyance, rubbed the bridge of his nose, feeling weak for a while.

Before he could think of any way to stop the marriage, another news came from Wei's side.It is said that when Wei Wuniang heard that Cui Liulang intended to regret the marriage, her condition worsened due to shame and indignation, and she almost lost her life.

He was called into the study by the patriarch again, and this time it was Wei Ci's father Wei Erlang who was waiting for him.

To his surprise, Wei Erlang did not accuse him, but whispered a lot to him, and finally almost burst into tears, "... Wu Niang is not in good health, and always says that she is only alive because of others This time I heard that Cui Liulang, who is famous all over the world, is going to marry her, but I couldn’t believe it at first. Now she has finally found some hope of living, and if you regret the marriage, my nephew, she really won’t be able to live..."

He listened to the almost pleading words of this sad father, and closed his eyes weakly.I let out a long sigh in my heart.

Just give in.

Anyway, in this life, there is no hope of being with the person you like hand in hand, so at least, don't kill others.He always wants to marry a wife, since this one can no longer be avoided, then, so be it.

He saw Wei Ci for the first time six months later, in the snowy season.

Wearing a white dress, she sat behind the beaded curtain in the water pavilion and played a tune.It was his favorite "Dark Fragrance Ci" when he was young.After the song was over, she got up gracefully and walked in front of him, "My concubine has seen the young master. Just now I was playing with the axe, and I hope the young master will not make fun of him."

He looked at her pale and bloodless face, and told himself in his heart that even if he was unwilling, this girl would be his responsibility from now on.He needs to take good care of her.Some things, never let her know.

The snow on that day was really similar to today.

Seeing Gu Yunxian's expectant eyes in front of him, he smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, don't take the words from the outside world seriously. The subject and wife are no different from most couples in the world."

Gu Yunxian didn't believe his justification, and thought it was because he didn't want to mention sad things, so he couldn't help but regret his slip of the tongue, "It's my palace who was abrupt, don't blame me, my lord."

Cui Shuo smiled again when he heard this, and did not continue to explain.
