Chapter 385: Awakening from the depths of the soul

Xie Shi's face was expressionless and his features were tough.
He glanced at Gu Yue quietly, then looked elsewhere, his lips opened and closed, and said, "What do you mean?"
Gu Yue's eyes flushed suddenly, "I have been thinking about my cousin."
Xie Shi laughed at himself, "My mother is trying to marry me."
Gu Yue was stunned, "Are you going to get married?"
She was shocked, even couldn't believe it.
Xie Shi sneered, "Should I not get married? Am I going to guard you forever?"
"No, I didn't mean that. It's just that the news came too suddenly."
Xie Shi said coldly: "You are married to the prince, of course I want to get married."
Gu Yue was wronged, "Then what about our children?"
Xie Shi changed his face, "Shut up! Let's stop talking nonsense in the future, that is the prince's child."
Gu Yue let out a sob, "You are so aggressive to me. You never..."
"Enough. They are back."
Gu Yue stopped sobbing immediately, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
The coachman and maid came back together.
The two maids twittered and found no abnormalities.
The carriage continued to move forward and returned to the Chu Palace.
...
When Gu Jiu returned to the palace, he went back to the room and changed into a cotton-padded coat before going to Chunhetang to ask for peace.
Pei's eyebrows are sad.
"Today, the princess enters the palace to greet the empress, who is slightly unwell."
"It doesn't matter, right?" Xiao Qin'er was worried.
Pei said: "The imperial doctor said that the empress just occasionally felt the wind and cold, and it should be fine if I think about it. Gaiminger, you follow this princess into the palace and please peace with the empress."
"Daughter-in-law, please."
Pei said that there was nothing serious, but he was still very worried.
Concubine Xiao Shu, who is almost 60, has a long life.
I'm sick at this age, and it's a cold winter. I'm really afraid that there will be two shortcomings.
If King Ning is there, she can still ask King Ning to make an idea.
Now that King Ning is not there, she can only call her two sons to ask her opinions.
When Liu Yi heard that Concubine Xiao Shu was ill, he yelled to visit the palace.
Pei glared at him, "The boss is not young anymore, don't bluff whenever you encounter things. Learn from your eldest brother, and be prudent in situations."
Liu Yi couldn't believe that the mother concubine let him and Liu Zhao study.
In the past, the mother concubine always disliked Liu Zhao and told him not to learn from Liu Zhao.
So he really didn't learn from Liu Zhao.
Now the mother concubine changed his mind again and told him to study with Liu Zhao. The change was too fast.
Liu Yi suddenly felt a sense of crisis and did not dare to bluff anymore.
"Zhao'er, can you contact your father. The empress is sick and he is not with him. What should I do." Pei was very worried.
"Mother and concubine don't panic. Tomorrow the son will enter the palace to see the situation. As for the father, even if you write a letter now, you may not receive it a year ago. Moreover, the road is freezing and it is inconvenient to walk. In case the father is worried about the mother It’s safe, there’s an error in the busy schedule, what should I do."
Liu Zhao's voice seems to have a soothing effect.
Hearing what he said, Pei was not as nervous as before.
She took a deep breath, "Tomorrow, you two brothers will enter the palace together to visit the empress. This princess is going to the temple to pray for the empress."
"Mother and concubine also take care of your body." Liu Yi was worried.
When Pei saw him, he felt relieved that Liu Yi didn't care for him in vain, and he finally knew that he cared about others.
She smiled and said, "Yi'er, don't worry about your mother and concubine, I am in good health."
"My son is still worried."
"Nothing to worry about. Entering the palace tomorrow is irresistible."
"The son listens to the mother and concubine."
Seeing that mother and son are kind and filial, Liu Zhao didn't fluctuate in his heart.
For so many years, he has long been used to it.
He took the opportunity to say goodbye and did not stay much longer.
Liu Yi smiled brighter when he saw this.
Liu Yi is really not stupid. Not only is he not stupid, he is also very smart. In the past he was just too lazy, too lazy to use his brain, too lazy to work hard.
Anyway, everything he wants, just say it, someone will hold it in front of him with both hands.
Everything came so easy, why bother and bother.
But not anymore.
Liu Zhao left him far behind, and the distance between the two brothers grew farther and farther.
What's even worse is that the mother concubine even said something for him and Liu Zhao to learn.
This gave Liu Yi a strong sense of crisis.
He quickly realized that he couldn't get what he needed like he did when he was a child, just open his mouth and get it.
He wants to get the resources of the palace, and he wants to get the favor and trust of his father, queen and mother, he must show his true ability.
Liu Yi lowered his head and smiled.
Liu Zhao, you wait. I will catch up.
Liu Yi patiently accompanied Pei to speak, coaxing Pei very happy.
Pei praised him for his filial piety.
Liu Yi is naturally humble.
From beginning to end, he never said a bad thing about Liu Zhao.
He is not a fool. Gossiping behind his back is really a villain.
Moreover, he and Liu Zhao are brothers, and Liu Zhao gossiping behind them will only be despised.
Liu Yi took the measure and waited until dark before leaving and returning to the West Court.
Xiao Qin'er was very worried about Concubine Xiao Shu's condition.
Seeing Liu Yi, she said, "Tomorrow, I want to go to the palace with you to visit my mother."
"Don't mess around."
Liu Yi's words were neither light nor heavy, but Xiao Qin'er felt harsh.
Sure enough, he felt impatient when talking to himself now.
Xiao Qin'er bit her lip, "I am worried about the safety of my mother."
"Who's not worried. Tomorrow, my eldest brother and I will go to the palace to see the situation. The mother and concubine are going to the temple to pray for the empress, so you too, behave well and don't play tricks. In a few days, you will enter the palace with the mother and concubine. "
Xiao Qin'er asked, "Will the mother go to the temple tomorrow to please her?"
"Tomorrow is not going to be a good day, I have to go there the next day."
Liu Yi looked at her, saw her aggrieved, and asked, "What happened to you?"
Xiao Qin'er took a deep breath, "I'm fine."
"If it's okay, I'll go to the study to rest."
Since the last time the couple fell out because of their concubines, Liu Yi never wanted to enter her bedroom again.
Of course, the three concubines were also sent away.
During this time, Liu Yi has been sleeping in the study.
"and many more!"
Xiao Qin'er stopped him, "Big brother has been clamoring for you, won't you go and see him?"
Big brother is in the bedroom.
Liu Yichao glanced inside, "Let's make another day."
"Liu Yi, you can not enter my bedroom, but you can't help but care about your big brother."
Xiao Qin'er no longer endures, and directly pierces the window paper.
Liu Yi frowned, "You think too much."
"Do I think too much? You know it best in your heart. Also, I want to add a younger brother or younger sister to the older brother."
Liu Yi frowned, "I'll talk about this later."
Xiao Qin'er felt aggrieved, "When will it be next? Next year, the year after next? After you take in a concubine, will you come and talk to me about giving birth to a concubine?"
"Don't make trouble unreasonably."
Xiao Qin'er laughed at herself, "I am not making trouble out of nowhere, I just want a child."
Liu Yi gritted his teeth, holding back his anger, and asked, "Okay, when you say you have sex, I'll come over. I will satisfy you."
Xiao Qin'er was heartbroken with grief.
Intercourse with her seemed to be a torture in Liu Yi's eyes.
She covered her heart, "Do you have to be like this?"
Liu Yi took a deep breath and warned himself not to get angry, don't get angry.
He suppressed his anger and said: "I have promised your request, what do you want from me?"
"No way! No matter, you should go and see the big brother, I won't do anything to you."
Both are restraining.
Both are uncomfortable.
Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, walked into the bedroom, and for the first time in so many days, he picked up his eldest brother.
Xiao Qin'er sat outside, crying silently.
The words that Mrs. Xiao warned her had come true.
Liu Yi had a grudge against her and was no longer willing to touch her.
Does she regret it?
She does not regret it.
Once again, she is still going to make a big fuss.
She Xiao Qin'er is by no means a woman who wants to be complacent.
She looked at Liu Yi's back. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.
In this life, only I am qualified to give birth to your child.
...
Liu Zhao returned to the Eastern Hospital, feeling cold.
He waited for his body to warm before he walked into the small study and hugged Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu patted him on the back and asked, "You know what happened to the lady who was sick."
"Well, my fourth brother and I will enter the palace tomorrow morning. Let's take a look at the situation first. The next day, the mother and concubine will go to the temple to greet the empress, and you too."
Gu Jiu nodded in agreement.
"Doesn't matter whether the empress is sick? Do you want me to go to the palace to look for the empress."
"I'll talk about it later. The imperial doctor said it was just an ordinary soldier, and I hope to get better soon."
Concubine Xiao Shu is just windy, but the reason why everyone is so nervous is because Concubine Xiao Shu is old and will be 60 years old in two years.
Elderly people, a small wind chill may kill them.
So everyone is a little worried.
They all hope that Concubine Xiao Shu can recover soon.
...
Xiangguo Temple burns incense most, so Pei decided to go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense.
Early in the morning, the palace all moved. No one is sleeping late today.
Pei took a few daughter-in-laws and concubine Shen Fang to Xiangguo Temple in a carriage.
Liu Yi specially asked for a day off to stay with Pei.
Liu Zhao went to Yamen as an errand as usual.
In this regard, Pei has thoughts in his heart.
She said to Liu Yi privately: "Your eldest brother has been indifferent since he was a child."
"The eldest brother is very responsible and can't let go of the yamen's errands, the mother concubine understands."
Liu Yi even said nice things for Liu Zhao.
Pei was surprised.
Liu Yi's expression remained the same, "After all, he is my eldest brother. This time the father and king left Beijing, the son deeply felt the meaning of the saying, "fighting father and son soldiers, fighting tiger brothers. In the past, my son was too naive and too immature, so he would He cares about his eldest brother. From now on, my son will respect his elder brother and follow him as an example."
Pei's is not sure whether Liu Yi's words are true or false.
She felt relieved in her heart.
"Good boy, you have finally grown up."
Liu Yi looked guilty, "I used to be ignorant, and always let the mother and concubine worry about it, because the son is not filial. The son will work hard in the future to live up to the expectations of the mother and concubine."
"It's really nice to let your father see what you look like now."
Liu Yi said with a smile: "I will write to my father and report the situation in the mansion so that my father will not worry."
"Good boy, you should write to your father."
The mother and son said a lot.
Pei felt that Liu Yi had really changed.
She just said, how could her son not be promising.
Liu Yi used to be too playful.
Now that I grow up, I will be successful sooner or later.
Liu Yi lowered his head and smiled.
Halfway through the journey, he went to ride a horse to get a hair dryer, calm and calm.
In order to welcome King Ning’s family, Xiangguo Temple deliberately closed the gate today to prevent others from going up the mountain.
The abbot personally went out to greet him and exchanged greetings with Pei's.
Knowing that it was a blessing for Concubine Xiao Shu, Xiangguo Temple came up with the highest standards.
The crowd knelt on the futon and prayed devoutly.
Ouyang Fu felt a little uncomfortable.
She held her belly for more than eight months, knelt on the futon, and finally supported her until the end of the blessing.
When I got up, my body was shaking.
Fortunately, Gu Jiu, who was standing next to her, supported her.
"Second brother and sister are all right."
Ouyang Fu took a breath, "Thank you Sister-in-law. I'm okay, I can hold it."
"Second younger siblings, don't support it."
Ouyang Fu shook his head, "I just can't do well with my waist, there is no other problem."
Gu Jiu had never been pregnant, nor did he study obstetrics and gynecology, so he could not say how to alleviate this situation.
Concubine Shen Side came to Ouyang Fu very nervously, "It's okay!"
Ouyang Fu finally got pregnant with this child, but there was no accident.
"I'm fine, but I have been kneeling for a long time, and I feel a little uncomfortable."
"Hurry up and lie down in the backyard. Seeing that you are about to give birth, you can't have the slightest difference."
Concubine Shen side is the second son and a son, and she also counts on Ouyang Fu to be a man in this child, so that she can be proud of her.
After the prince a hundred years later, the palace will be separated, and she can live with her son and grandson.
So Ouyang Fu must not have the slightest handicap.
Concubine Shen side personally helped Ouyang Fu to the backyard.
Secretly blame Pei.
"I said yesterday that you have a big belly and it is not convenient to go out. The princess does not show sincerity unless people are present. In that case, why don't you ask the third wife to go out? Humph, I think the princess is deliberately tossing you. She wants you Something unexpected."
"The mother-in-law calms down. The mother-in-law is really worried about her safety."
Concubine Shen side snorted coldly, "Who doesn't worry about the safety of the empress, is she alone? You, it's too hard-eyed, this is about to give birth, and you have to run outside. If there is a case, I think what would you do."
Ouyang Fu smiled, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I'll be tired for a while, and I'll be fine after a rest."
"It's better to be fine."
Putting Ouyang Fu in the wing, Concubine Shen ordered people to eat and drink, and asked Ouyang Fu to eat more.
Ouyang Fu refused to eat more.
"Eat too much, the fetus is too large, and it is easy to give birth."
"Bah, baah, talk about dystocia."
Ouyang Fu still refused to eat more, because she was afraid of dystocia and fear of accidents for her child.
Therefore, she has always followed the doctor's advice and followed Gu Jiu's advice, and since she became pregnant, she has not dared to eat more.
Throughout her pregnancy, she weighed ten catties. The belly is not small, but there is no flesh on his body.
She thought it was good.
Smaller fetuses will be easier at birth.
When Concubine Shen saw that Ouyang Fu said that she would not eat more, she also gave up persuading.
"Fine, nothing, as long as it is for the sake of the child, I won't care about you. You are my ancestor now."
Ouyang Fu was a little embarrassed, "To make the mother-in-law worry, it is the daughter-in-law who is not filial."
"It's useless to say that these vain things. Adding a son to the second son is the most important thing."
"I know."
Ouyang Fu also hopes that this child will be a son.
Gu Jiu took people to the wing to visit Ouyang Fu.
"Second younger siblings are all right. The mother-in-law learned that you were unwell, so she specially asked me to come and have a look."
"The tired mother and concubine are worried, I'm much better. Sister-in-law, please sit down."
Gu Jiu bowed to Concubine Shen and then sat down.
She held Ouyang Fu's hand and quietly diagnosed her pulse while talking.
"Second younger siblings look better, and I am relieved to see that you are fine."
Ouyang Fu's pulse condition was a bit weak, and he seemed to be tired.
"Second siblings should lie down and rest, don't sit. Sitting for a long time can't bear it."
"Madame is right, you lie down quickly." Concubine Shen side echoed Gu Jiu's words.
Ouyang Fu had to lie down.
At this time, a maid rushed in.
"The side concubine, the second lady, the second son is in the capital."
"Is the son back?"
Ouyang Fu sat up suddenly.
Gu Jiu's eyesight is quick, and she hurriedly helped her, "Second younger brother and sister beware."
Ouyang Fu was also a little flustered. She settled down and asked the maid, "Is the son really coming back?"
"Return to the second lady, the second son has returned to the palace. The family leader sent someone up the mountain to inform."
Ouyang Fu let out a sigh, "Thank God, I finally came back."
The husband and wife had been apart for half a year, Ouyang Fu held his stomach, and missed the second son very much.
Concubine Shen Side was also thankful, thanking the Buddha.
The second son returned to Beijing safely. This is the greatest good news.
After being happy, Ouyang Fu asked again: "Do you know how much money the second son brought back this time?"
"Slaves don't know."
"How can you say such things casually. When you return to the palace, it will not be too late to ask him."
Concubine Shen Bianyan also secretly winked at Ouyang Fu, calling her a lot of attention.
Didn't you see that Mrs. Gu Jiu was there?
He opened his mouth and asked how much money he had brought back. It was not appropriate.
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled.
Concubine Shen has a lot of careful thinking.
