late night song

Chapter 73 Hesitation between two phases
After leaving the inner palace, Qi Jian hugged Gun Nanxi and got on the carriage. He turned around and glanced at Gu Yuchu, and saw that she was just holding Gu Yu Xin with her head lowered. No emotions could be seen under the moonlight. Qi Jian sighed silently. As soon as he got dressed, he got into the car.

Gu Yuchu saw their intimate behavior, but she lowered her head the moment he turned around. She didn't want to see his face, and she didn't know how to face the situation where he was happy and she was sad.

Qi Jian and Gun Nanxi didn't say anything in the carriage. She just snuggled into Qi Jian's arms and wanted to talk to him, but when she looked up and saw the man's cold face, she didn't know what to say.

Gun Nanxi felt a chill in her heart and began to wonder if he was really happy that she had his child.

The Gu sisters were as silent as they were on the other carriage. Gu Yuxin leaned against her sister and kept wiping her tears.

Gu Yuchu was in a state of confusion. She was already confused because of the shocking information she got tonight, and she was even more confused by the happy event that came out of thin air from Prince Qin's palace. She was not in the mood to carefully unravel Zhang Mengyi's words.

She does not believe that Emperor Ming has no sincerity towards Chang Xinyi. This can be known from Zhang Mengyi's peerless favor in the past seven years. Emperor Ming is old and his second child was born in Zhang Mengyi's belly. This is ironclad proof.

But who is the enemy of Yuchi’s genocide?

Was Zhenxi Laowang involved in the old events of that year?If so, why does he hate his mother's family so much?

Did Qi Jie already know the truth behind the Yuchi clan’s annihilation?

Are they really connected as father and son?

....
When was Nanxi's child conceived?

.........

Damn!

Gu Yuchu felt extremely self-blame. He actually ignored his family's honor and revenge plan, and was entangled in the love between his children.

She frowned, and when she came back to her senses, she was even more troubled when she saw Gu Yuxin crying.

"It's coming soon. Wipe your tears and don't make others laugh." Gu Yuchu broke the silence. Although his tone was tough, he still twisted his sleeves to wipe away the raging tears for his sister.

Gu Yuxin was very obedient, choking and forcing herself to calm down.

Arriving at the palace, she pulled her sister out of the carriage, and at this moment, Qi Zhan happened to get out of the carriage with Gunan Xi in his arms.

There was silence and the air was stagnant.

Xu Zhang had been waiting at the gate for a long time, and was just about to greet the prince and princess with a bowl of sobering soup.Xiao Yuan quietly glanced at him, and he knew whether to advance or retreat without making a sound.

"Butler Xu, Princess Nanxi is pregnant. Tomorrow morning, we will send three or four quick purchasers to the streets to prepare a supply of food and utensils for the pregnant woman. Then we will go to Heyuntang to ask Divine Doctor Mo to come and diagnose the princess's pulse in person. " Before Qi Zhen could speak, Gu Yuchu gave Xu Zhang instructions first, showing the demeanor of a matron.

"Yes!" Xu Zhang responded respectfully.

The maids and servants on the scene did not wait for Xu Zhang's announcement, but they all knelt down and congratulated in unison: "The prince is very happy, and the princess is very happy."

Gun Nanxi was very happy. He glanced at the opening frame while feeling proud, but his face was still expressionless.Gu Yuchu held her sister's hand and stood aside, watching with cold eyes the happy event that had nothing to do with her.

"Your Majesty, Yu Xin is a little dizzy from being greedy. I'll take her back to the courtyard first." Gu Yuchu's tone was normal and he didn't say anything when he opened the frame. She was not in a hurry and didn't want to show any displeasure.

"Go." After a while, Qi Zhen finally allowed her to leave.

After Gu Yuchu got his approval, he respectfully led Gu Yuxin away.Qi Jian stood there, watching their departing figures, his expression sluggish and thoughtful.

Xu Zhang glanced at Xiao Yuan hesitantly and blamed him for not informing him in advance, which made the prince and princess feel uncomfortable, while Xiao Yuan looked like he deserved your stupidity.

"Your Majesty, I'm a little tired." Seeing Qi Jie's distracted look, Gun Nanxi was very unhappy, so she said coquettishly because she was pregnant.

She kept comforting herself in her heart. No matter what, she was already pregnant first. If she gave birth to a boy, he would be the eldest son of King Qin. With the support of the Nanchang Palace, the position of the princess would be returned to her sooner or later. Then she would deal with the situation. It's not too late for the Gu sisters.

Qi Jian was still silent and did not respond to her, and then walked alone to the snow platform where Gun Nanxi lived.

Gun Nanxi took three steps at a time, grabbed his sleeves, and followed closely.

Only then did Qi Jian come to his senses. Considering that she was pregnant, he accommodated her and slowed down, but this did not mean that he accepted the child happily.

If Gu Nanxi successfully gives birth to a boy in this situation, the King of Nanchang, the eldest princess and even Emperor Ming will definitely try their best to correct her. How will the Gu sisters deal with themselves then?
But he didn't want or allow his beloved to suffer a little bit of injustice, so this sudden child put him in a dilemma.

He also has his own grievances in his heart.

After returning to the court after the battle of sealing the city, the King of Nanchang quietly ordered someone to send the secret aphrodisiac to the Southern Wilderness, but did not mention a word.

Later, Gun Nanxi came to her and cried to her, saying that she could no longer hide it from her mother's family. It had been more than a year since she married into Prince Qin's palace, but she was still in perfect condition. She silently met with the Manchus of the Qi family and her parents in the hall, begging him to give her. She had a little hope that she would be happy and safe for the rest of her life and would no longer be enemies with the Gu sisters.

Qi Jian knew in her heart that this was just her tactic to delay the war, but with the current situation in the court, if she had a rift with the King of Nanchang because of this incident, it would be a small gain.

So, before Gu Yuchu returned home, he found a decoction to prevent pregnancy and took it by himself, and then he and Gun Nanxi became a couple.

But even life and death are not [-]% certain in this world, let alone a potion that makes it impossible to conceive?Doctor Mo had also warned him, but he believed too much in his luck. Maybe he had been strategizing for too long and made a mistake, or maybe it was God's arrangement that made something he had worried about for a long time happen in advance. His little boy will one day have to face such an unsatisfactory and unscrupulous self.

After sending Gun Nanxi back to the courtyard, King Qin didn't want to stay any longer.

"Your Majesty, aren't you staying here today?" Gun Nanxi couldn't help but ask to stay.

"Now that you are pregnant, you should take good care of her and don't do stupid things to compete for favor."

After Qi Jie said that, he left without looking back. Gun Nanxi's eyes were moist and she stared at his back for a long time, and finally had no choice but to enter the Nuan Pavilion dejectedly.

Xiao Yuanhou was outside the Zhuxuetai courtyard. When Qi Jian saw him, he asked:
"Where is the princess now?"

"Since I sent my concubine back to Anxiang Tower, she hasn't come out yet." Xiao Yuan replied.

"Go and see."

Qi Jian walked quickly towards Gu Yuxin's yard, but when he reached the approach bridge, he suddenly stopped. He looked at the bright candlelight of Anxiang Tower and refused to take another step closer.

In the private room, Gu Yuxin was leaning on the bed slumped. Gu Yuchu was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her lost and pitiful appearance, and comforted:

"Don't be sad, you will have to face it sooner or later."

"But sister, why is it her? It would be great if it were you." Gu Yuxin said what was in her heart with tears in her eyes.

Gu Yuchu smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer.

Although she and Qi Jian shared the same bed and had sex many times, there was no real intimacy. Maybe he was too preoccupied, maybe she was not charming enough, or maybe the timing was wrong. Anyway, the two of them were in name only. .

"Sister, are you sad?"

Seeing that Gu Yuchu was silent, Gu Yuxin continued to ask. She wanted to talk to her sister about what was on her mind, but she never had the chance.

She had also long ago discovered that her sister seemed to be a different person since she came back from Sanxing Academy. She liked to be alone, rarely talked, always looked preoccupied, and had no interest in anything.But today, when faced with the same sad thing, couldn't the two sisters speak freely?

Gu Yuchu thought for a while and replied calmly: "A little."

"The days are long, sister, please don't take it to heart." It was rare for her sister to express her true feelings. Although it was only superficial, it also made Gu Yu feel deeply uncomfortable, so she hurriedly comforted her.

"Can you comfort me? You'll feel better?" Gu Yuchu was dumbfounded by the sudden changes in weather.

"That's not true." Gu Yuxin pouted her mouth and denied it.

"Okay, okay, go to bed early. Although I know that you have something to worry about, she is the daughter of the King of Nanchang and has a distinguished status. Now that she has a child of the King of Qin, it is naturally even more different. If she is domineering and arrogant, as long as she is It’s not that she’s bullying her too much, so just bear with it for the time being and don’t eat or walk with her at ordinary times, lest you make any mistakes that you won’t be able to explain clearly.”

She knew that Gu Yuxin wanted to keep her for a good chat today, but she really didn't have that intention, but she was afraid that her sister wouldn't be able to bear it and would be found in the wrong by the Nanchang Palace, so she kept reminding her before leaving.

"I understand in my heart, sister, you have to work harder." Gu Yuxin saw that he couldn't keep her and was no longer persistent, so he blinked his eyes and joked a few words pretending to be relaxed, so as to reassure his sister.

"Damn girl." Gu Yuchu rolled his eyes and left with a helpless smile.

When Gu Yuxin saw her sister walking away, she secretly shed tears again.She was really sad and annoyed. Compared to Gunanxi, King Qin usually spent more time in his yard, but her stomach was still calm.

Gu Yuchu left Anxiang Tower and wandered aimlessly in the palace alone, while Qi Jian and Xiao Yuan followed her from a distance until she returned to Linyue Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, don't blame me for talking too much." Xiao Yuan couldn't bear it anymore. He stood under the osmanthus tree by the inner lake and opened his mouth to break the silence.

"I know I'm talking too much, but I'm still talking." Qi Jian stared at the bright window lattice of Linyue Pavilion and replied impatiently.

"Um…"

Xiao Yuan adjusted his voice and intonation, but still didn't mean to shut up. After following King Qin for many years, he naturally knew how to act appropriately, so he directly asked the question in his heart: "Why don't you just make it clear to the princess?"

"How to put it, I don't understand. After all, I failed her." Qi Zhi couldn't help sighing. Compared with the dull night sky tonight, he was even more lonely.

"I feel that the princess can understand you."

"I'm afraid she won't care about anything..."

The master and servant fell silent again and stood there for a long time before they were willing to leave.

"Let Gu Fan have a free day tomorrow. There is no need to restrain him."

Before hiding in the study, Qi Jian ordered Xiao Yuan like this.

Since he did not dare to confess to her and was worried that she would not be able to express her depression, he allowed her to change her mood, hoping that talking and laughing with Gu Fan would make her feel more relaxed.
