Unprecedented

Chapter 10 Parting
When Shuang Lan'er woke up the next day, it was broad daylight.

"Forgetting overnight" really worked, she only felt thirsty in her mouth, sour in her eyes, her memory only stayed at him untying her clothes, and she had no memory of it after that.If it wasn't for the aches in her body, if it wasn't for her being undressed and only wearing pajamas, if it wasn't for the smell of him on the side of the pillow, she really thought she had just slept and woke up at this moment.

Thinking of Long Xiaoting last night, she was suddenly glad that she took "One Night Forget". She sincerely prayed that she would conceive once, because she didn't want to be involved with him again.

Shuang Lan'er's constitution is extremely cloudy, and her monthly letter is usually not accurate. She doesn't know why this time. Perhaps due to the onset of ferret poison, her pulse has been disordered, and she can't tell whether she is pregnant. Fortunately, the imperial physician Shen Muyu is proficient in gynecology and can The golden needle broke her pulse, and after more than a month, it was finally confirmed that she was pregnant with a child.

At that moment, she couldn't tell what she felt, confused?What's more, it's sad, blood is connected, pregnant in October, how can she let go in the future?

It was so cold, surrounded by hellish cold and snow, the ferret poison broke out again, and the pain was piercing.But no matter how hard it is, winter will still pass, peach blossoms bloom, swallows come, winter clothes fade away, and green willows surround the garden.Ever since she was pregnant with the child, Long Xiaoting hadn't been here once.

At the end of spring, Shen Muyu had concluded that she was pregnant with a boy.This is undoubtedly good news. The palace exploded, and the emperor was very happy to know that he gave many treasures to fill the room.

Time flies, and it is early autumn in a blink of an eye.The weather is hot and dry, without a hint of autumn coolness.Shuang Lan'er was only a month away from giving birth, and the sweltering heat made her toss and turn, making it difficult to sleep, so she simply walked out of the room.

Outside the door, Xiao Xi slept soundly on the steps.Shuang Lan'er smiled slightly, took a blanket to cover Xiao Xi, and walked out of the drunken garden slowly.

The moonlight in the sky is desolate.

She walked across the small bridge and flowing water, and came to the edge of the cold lake, the lake was shining silver in the moonlight.The reeds by the river are flourishing, like snow and silver under the moonlight.She reached out and brushed the reeds like snowflakes, as if touching cold snow.

Her hand caressed the high swollen abdomen, the fetus has been moving frequently recently, she could touch him, and even once, she touched his little feet, kicking her playfully, pushing her aside.This is her parent and child, how can she let go.She wept silently, she only hoped that all the tears would be shed tonight, and when she left in the future, she would never allow herself to cry in front of Qiu Duanming and Qiu Keyin.

Gradually, the east was slightly pale.

After a long silence, Shuang Lan'er gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and was about to turn around.At this time, Qing Lingling's voice came from behind, "Sister Lan'er, what are you doing by the lake early in the morning?"

That voice was as cold as ice beads, it was actually Qiu Keyin.

Shuang Lan'er's expression froze, and she turned around quickly. Seeing Qiu Keyin smiling, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She tried to calm down and said, "Princess wakes up really early, so I'll just come out for a walk."

Qiu Keyin looked down at Shuang Lan'er's swollen belly, her beautiful eyes flashed viciously, and she spoke with hostility, "Sister Lan'er, the fetus is stable in September, and it's okay to give birth earlier."

"What do you mean?" Shuang Lan'er had never seen Qiu Keyin clearly put a vicious expression on her face, and she couldn't help being startled.

Qiu Keyin raised his head and laughed, and suddenly pushed hard.

Shuang Lan'er has a bulky body, how could she withstand such a violent force when she was about to give birth?She staggered a few steps and fell towards the cold lake. The bitingly cold water poured in from all directions, causing her whole body to convulse.Even if she can swallow water and drag her heavy body, she can't save herself.After submerging in the water for the last time, she saw Qiu Keyin with a smug smile on her lips.She suddenly understood that they wanted her life!
Qiu Keyin looked at the surface of the water lightly, saw Shuang Lan'er sinking into the bottom of the water like a residual lotus, and patted his hands lightly, "Kill the mother and seize the child, aunt, you are not as cruel as I am. Xiao Ting is hunting outside, not in the palace." How can I miss such a great opportunity." After a long and comfortable laugh, the sneer on her face suddenly turned into panic, and she screamed: "It's not good! Mrs. Lan has fallen into the water, come quickly!"

"Plop", "Plop" sounded again and again, and the maids and servants rushed from everywhere, jumped into the water, and rescued Shuang Lan'er.

I don't know who shouted, "God, Mrs. Lan is covered in blood, she is about to give birth!"

Qiu Keyin stepped forward and hugged Shuang Lan'er who was drenched all over, pretending to be concerned, and hurriedly shouted: "Please ask the imperial physician Shen, hurry up, Mrs. Lan will have some troubles, this princess will never forgive you lightly." , she quietly approached Shuang Lan'er's ear, and smiled softly, "You have to hold on."

Shuang Lan'er was so nauseous that she wanted to vomit, the pain was as tight as an iron ring, beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead, and her consciousness became more and more blurred.In the end, her hands drooped limply, and she passed out.

When Shen Muyu arrived, Shuang Lan'er was still in a coma, her face was as pale as fresh snow, he was stunned, and his body trembled violently.

The most experienced Wen Po in Shangyang City couldn't help sweating, and said anxiously: "If Madam doesn't wake up, what will happen to the baby? The amniotic fluid is broken, and there is so much blood. I'm afraid the baby will be safe." No……"

Concubine Duan rushed over after hearing the news. Hearing what Wen Po said, she raised her hand and slapped Wen Po's words, angrily said: "Your mouth is dirty! If there is something to do with your son, all of you will be buried with him! Eunuch Luo ,what happened!"

Eunuch Luo hurried forward to reply, "Ms. Lan slipped and fell into the water, resulting in an accident."

Concubine Duan glanced coldly at Qiu Keyin behind her, "If I let this palace know, whoever dares to make fun of the safety of the prince will not be lightly forgiven!"

Qiu Keyin's face froze, he quickly smiled, pulled Laqiu to tea and said, "Auntie, don't talk about it. Go and see Sister Lan'er."

At this moment, Shen Muyu prepared the decoction and ordered Xiaoxi to forcefully pour it for Shuang Lan'er.

Xiao Xi was so frightened that she gave Shuang Lan'er medicine while crying.After pouring for a long time, Shuang Lan'er remained silent.

Wen Po was in a hurry, her clothes were soaked inside and out, she couldn't keep her son, she had to be buried with her.Suddenly, she went all out, knelt on the ground with a "bang", and said: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that this old slave has to say, if the child is taken by caesarean section now, there is still [-]% hope. Both adults and children are in danger." The implication is that he suggested that Concubine Duan should give up Shuang Lan'er now and keep the child.

Qiu Keyin hid the triumphant smile on her face, and whispered in Concubine Duangui's ear, "Auntie, you have to make a quick decision. The prince is still hunting in the suburbs, and he won't be able to come back soon." There was a sneer in his heart, this time It was the result she wanted. When Long Xiaoting came back, Shuang Lan'er had turned into a cold corpse.

"This—" Qiu Duanming hesitated, "If Ting'er finds out in the future, he will definitely blame me."

"Auntie, time waits for no one. Sister Lan'er has been in a coma. What should I do? I can't send someone to ask Xiao Ting now, how long will it take?" Qiu Keyin said again.

"Well, let Ben Gong think about it carefully." Qiu Duanming thought for a moment.

At this time, Shen Muyu knew that if Shuang Lan'er would not wake up again, after a while, Concubine Duan Gui would definitely give up on her. He was so anxious that his long hair seemed to be fished out of the water, he took mint and smoked it on the candle, put it between Shuang Lan'er's nose repeatedly Smoked.

Stimulated by the cool and bitter breath of mint, Shuang Lan'er finally regained consciousness, and a series of weak groans came out from her throat.

Moan.

Concubine Duan thought over and over again, and decided to give up Shuang Lan'er. Just as she was about to speak, Shen Muyu interrupted and shouted: "Mrs. Lan is awake, go get some hot water!"

Seeing Shuang Lan'er waking up, Concubine Duan frowned and led Qiu Ke out of the room.

Shuang Lan'er was physically and mentally exhausted, her lower abdomen kept rising and falling, and she had a strong sense of survival, and she didn't want to give up. She tried harder and harder, and almost passed out from the pain, and her knuckles, which were tightly clutching the bedding, turned white.

The situation is not optimistic, Shen Muyu sent Wen Po to fetch hot water, whispered to Shuang Lan'er's ear, "They are not here, let me ask you, Madam, do you want to protect yourself?"

Shuang Lan'er panted heavily, shook her head and said, "My chest of drawers...the second drawer...has a box of gold needles in it. Do as I tell you."

Shen Muyu's face turned white in an instant, "You want to open the top acupoint to concentrate energy? No, it's too dangerous."

Shuang Lan'er firmly grasped Shen Muyu's arm, "Listen, I don't want to die, and nothing will happen to the child. You go, I'm sure." Pushing him away forcefully, her whole body instantly softened, lying on the bed panting .The only belief, she can't die, absolutely can't.

Shen Muyu fetched the golden needle as promised.

Shuang Lan'er bit her lip, stayed awake, and said with difficulty: "The first injection is Fengchi right point, then Lianquan point, Qingming point, Qucha point...the last one is Tianding point..."

As the last golden needle fell from Shen Muyu's hand, Shuang Lan'er screamed in pain, as if something burst out of her body suddenly, and the room was filled with a thick smell of blood.

Shen Muyu was very nervous about the dangerous move, she couldn't help standing up, feeling like she was about to freeze into a stone.

Suddenly, a loud cry of a baby resounded through the drunken garden, as if the rising sun suddenly jumped out of the sea, illuminating the sky and the earth.

Wen Po hugged the child excitedly, with tears streaming down her face, "It's born, it's the son, it's the son!" The son is fine, and her life is saved.She wrapped the child in a hurry, and was the first to rush to the door to ask Concubine Duan for credit.

Shuang Lan'er exhausted all her strength and could no longer open her eyes.She's alive, she's not going to die, she can't die, she just wants to rest for a while, just for a while.In fact, she knew that if she fell asleep forever at this moment, she would be free.After waking up for a while, I don't know what kind of cruel thing I have to face.She couldn't hold it any longer, and slowly closed her eyes, her pale profile was as jade-like under the candlelight.

After a long time, Shuang Lan'er opened her misty eyes, and the candlelight was shining, making her eyes hurt. She subconsciously reached out to block it, but heard cold and majestic words in her ears.

"You finally woke up, you made me wait for a long time."

That was Concubine Duan's voice, it was cold and piercing, making one's hair stand on end.

Shuang Lan'er struggled to sit up, and saw clearly that Qiu Duanming and Qiu Keyin were standing in front of her, and there was no one else in the room, they were all pushed away by them.She collapsed after giving birth and was exhausted, so she had to lie on the side of the bed weakly.A bowl of pitch-black concoction was suddenly served in front of her. The pungent smell was disgusting.

Qiu Keyin said lightly: "This is a bowl of sterile soup."

Shuang Lan'er was shocked, "Why?"

Qiu Duanming came slowly: "The concubine is weak and unable to bear children. This palace will forgive your father, but after giving birth to a child, you are not allowed to look at the child, and immediately leave Shangyang City and never come back. It is a great gift for you to leave, but the dignified Prince Rui's family will never allow you to have a younger brother or sister with your humble blood flowing in his body. Therefore, you must drink it."

Shuang Lan'er took a slow breath, only Qiu Duanming in the world can say such a cruel thing in a high-sounding manner, even if it is a glass of poisoned wine at this time, it is also a gift to you.Her voice was a little sour: "When are you leaving?"

Qiu Keyin said coldly: "Now, leave after drinking the medicine, the carriage is already waiting for you in front of the door."However, after drinking that medicine, Shuang Lan'er was just a useless person alive.Moreover, as long as Shuang Lan'er is not in Shangyang City, she will always have a chance to attack in the future.

Qiu Duanming looked impatient, and urged: "Hurry up, if you don't leave, it will be dawn soon."

Shuang Lan'er stared coldly at the thick black concoction in front of her eyes, sterilization!They are so vicious!She was heartbroken, took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, she drank it too fast, the medicine was too bitter, she almost vomited, she held back and drank all the medicine.Forget it, as long as she is free, what else does she care about?Everything today, all kinds of things yesterday, should only be a shattered dream, as if the flowing water is passing away, and they are all floating clouds.

Seeing Shuang Laner drink the medicinal juice, Qiu Keyin smiled.

After drinking, Shuang Lan'er slammed the white jade porcelain bowl on the ground with a "bang dang", suddenly raised her head, stared at Qiu Keyin, and said word by word: "Qiu Keyin, listen carefully! The way of heaven Reincarnation, retribution is not good. What you owe will eventually be paid back. I hope you keep your promise, otherwise, I will ask you for it one by one!"

The stern expression, the cold eyes, and the forceful aura made Qiu Keyin's back chill. She wanted to force herself to be calm, and wanted to refute a few words, but the words that came to her lips were met by Shuang Lan'er's sharp eyes. Unable to speak.For some reason, her heart jumped up "chug", she was annoyed, why was she afraid of Shuang Lan'er, how could she be like this.

Shuang Lan'er struggled to get up from the bed, and when she staggered out of the palace, it was raining outside, and the drizzle was like cold tears, falling on her face, on her body, freezing her body, and also freezing her heart of.She moved forward step by step. She couldn't walk fast because her legs were weak and her body was still bleeding.

Finally left the palace, boarded the carriage, put down the bead curtain, she looked back from afar, in the white rain and mist, there was faintly a patchwork and exquisite garden of Prince Rui's mansion, the layers were getting further and further away, and the two open cold copper doors were ruthless. Close it, and in the end, only the red lanterns hanging high in front of the door fluttered in the wind and rain.

The horseshoe moved slowly, everything gradually blurred and faded away.

"Drive!" The long whip swung up and fell hard.

The horse neighed, accompanied by the ringing of the horse bell, like still water shaking rocks, arousing layers of waves and rippling away.

Long Xiaoting ran wildly all the way in the mountains, layers of sweat leaked from his back, and a fear that he had never felt before spread in his heart.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the cold autumn rain seemed to drench him completely.He ignored it completely and ran towards the palace, and finally arrived at dawn.He dismounted and went straight to the drunken garden. When he opened the door, he unexpectedly saw Qiu Keyin sitting in the empty room, holding a red brocade baby in his arms.

Qiu Keyin saw that Long Xiaoting was drenched by the rain, and obviously rushed back, his face was stiff, but he kept his face, stepped forward with his baby in his arms, and said softly: "Look, Xiaoting, nurse Just after feeding, Xiao Shizi is sleeping soundly."

Long Xiaoting had no time to look at it, so he asked coldly, "Where is she?"

"Her?" Qiu Keyin was stunned for a while, and then said: "Oh, my aunt gave her a lot of money, and she has already left."

Long Xiaoting's expression flashed across the gloom in an instant, and he held back his anger and asked, "How long have you been gone?"

"I'm afraid we've arrived at Cixi Ferry." Qiu Keyin replied.

Long Xiaoting snatched the child from Qiu Keyin's arms, turned around and ran into the rain. With a wave of his long sleeves, he wrapped the baby tightly with the cloak behind him, and went straight to the gate of the palace, jumped on his toes, and stepped up. The Chollima at that time flew away with a whip.

"Xiaoting, Xiaoting, what are you doing?" Qiu Keyin couldn't keep up with Long Xiaoting's footsteps, and when he chased out of the mansion, he had already gone far, and disappeared around the corner in an instant.

"Xiao Ting!" Qiu Keyin shouted angrily, beating his feet and chest.She knew that the centipede is dead but not stiff, as long as Shuang Lan'er is not dead, it will always be a disaster.

Long Xiaoting ran wildly all the way.

Suddenly, thunder rolled across the sky, and the torrential rain "squeaked", stirring up misty white mist on the ground.

He wrapped the child tightly in his arms and galloped on the horse, so as not to let the child get the slightest rain.

Not far away, there seems to be the sound of the waves of the river, one wave after another, as if it is right in the ear, closer, closer, right in front of my eyes.

Long Xiao leaped violently, abandoned his horse, and ran towards the ferry.The child in his arms seemed to feel some unusual breath, and suddenly woke up, crying loudly.

Such a sharp crying sound seemed to be able to penetrate the noise of the heavy rainstorm and extend to a place far, far away.

Shuang Lan'er had already boarded the merchant ship to the south, mother and child were connected, she turned her head suddenly as if she felt something.

But I saw that Long Xiaoting's golden robe was already drenched, his long hair was loose, as if picked up from the water, and crystal drops of water kept rolling down from his forehead.

Shuang Lan'er almost screamed, seeing his distressed appearance, his ashen handsome face, his crow-blue and tired eyes, he probably rushed back from the hunting in the deep mountains overnight.

At this time, more and more people rushed onto the merchant ship, Long Xiaoting waved away the crowd with all his strength, and came under the ship with the child in his arms.

Looking at each other, this moment.

He looked up at her pale face.

She looked down at his bluish face.

His gaze was soft and cold, like the erratic streamer in the sky.

Amidst the noise, she heard him say loudly, "Lan'er, what wish do you have?"

Shuang Lan'er gathered her neckline to block the endless autumn wind, and tightly held the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, her eyes were so calm that she had almost no emotion, "I only hope that the prince will keep his promise."

Long Xiaoting opened his eyes, there was an indescribable pain in his eyes, he was so frustrated that he sneered.He thought she would want to stay.His two slender fingers gently pushed aside the swaddle in his arms, and caressed that delicate little face.These eyebrows, this outline, are exactly the same as Shuang Lan'er, really similar.

He was silent for a moment, his face softened, "Lan'er, do you want to take a look at the child. Listen, he is crying. Do you want to hug him when you get off the boat?"

The heart-piercing cry reached Shuang Lan'er's ears. At that moment, her heart was tightly clenched, and the cold rain slid down her neck, and a coldness rose from the bottom of her heart.Want to take a look?Would she not want to look at the child?When she gave birth to him, she never took a look at him, he was her own son, how could she be willing to leave him... If she took a look at him, she might never want to leave again, and would be imprisoned in the cage of the palace for the rest of her life.

What is she to him? She is just a shadow.Resolute, Shuang Lan'er turned her back, stopped looking at him, and only bit her lower lip till it was bleeding.

Long Xiaoting's eyes turned cold little by little until freezing point.

At this point, the boat was about to leave.More people rushed towards the merchant ship with packages of all sizes. Someone pushed Long Xiaoting away vigorously and cursed angrily: "The ship is about to sail. Are you going to get on the ship or not? If you don't get on, don't block the way! Really!" hell!"

Long Xiaoting didn't pay attention, he only carefully guarded the soft child in his arms, fixed his eyes on the merchant ship, stared at the seemingly fragile but indifferent back, he kept watching until the merchant ship pulled anchor and set sail, breaking through the green Cixi gradually drove away, but she never turned around.

At this time, Fengtian, the commander of the palace, arrived, looked at Long Xiaoting's lips that were purple from the cold in the rain, and asked cautiously, "My lord, do you want your subordinates to send a boat to chase after him?"

A sneer flashed across Long Xiaoting's face, like a strong wind blowing through a thousand-year-old snow mountain, bringing out endless chill, his eyes were filled with pain instantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Let her go, as far as you can!"

The sound of the rain gradually subsided, only the crying of the baby on the shore became clearer amidst the hustle and bustle of people.

"Wow--"

That piercing heart, that pain, that cry.

Shuang Lan'er suddenly covered her ears tightly, her body went limp, she slumped and slumped on the cold and wet deck, crying uncontrollably...
