Chapter 170, I want you to die(1/2)

On April 18, the Ministry of War submitted a memorial to General Shetuken, Shengjing: One thousand people were selected from the Xibe officers and soldiers in Shengjing and sent their families to Tarbhatai (now Tacheng, Shihezi area) to garrison.

This was the later famous Xibe people moving westward in history.

On April 18th, Xibe people who moved west and Xibe men, women, and young and old who lived in the northeast gathered at Taiping Temple, the Xibe family temple in Shengjing to pay homage to their ancestors and have dinner to say goodbye. In the morning of the 19th, Xibe officers and soldiers and their families would bid farewell to their hometown and embark on the long journey of moving west.

Later, after a year and five months of hard trek, the thousand officers and soldiers and 3,000 families, finally arrived at the station after a difficult trek. To commemorate this difficult westward migration, April 18th was also designated as the "Westward Movement Festival" by the Xibe people. (The famous Tong Liya is the Xibe tribe, and it is possible that the ancestors moved westward.)

The court was very cautious about this matter, and the emperor personally inquired about it.

After finishing this matter, it was already April 20th.

Xin Fei's fetus has been almost a whole month since March. If Xin Fei really gave birth to a child, then at this time, not to mention the twelve-day small full moon, it would be enough for the thirty-day large full moon.

Mao Tuaner also looked at the empty space and reminded the emperor of this matter.

The emperor lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded, "It's time."

A few days later, the emperor went to Changchun Garden to greet the Empress Dowager, and he also took Nara with him.

The reason is ready: it's the end of April, and the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. At that time, the emperor and the empress must still hold the Empress Dowager to watch the show in "Wan Fang'anhe" and go to Fuhai to watch the dragon boat. Therefore, all preparations for the play must be made to discuss with the Empress Dowager.

Nara did not doubt that there were other people, so he went there together. The emperor went to ask for advice, and Mao Tuaner then arrived, saying that the Ministry of War had submitted a memorial and urgently needed the emperor's holy judgment. The emperor then took a step first and left Nara to serve the Empress Dowager.

The emperor took Mao Tuaner and hurried back to the Old Summer Palace first, and then went straight to Xin Fei's bedroom.

Concubine Xin was not prepared at all. She was relieved that Nara would not torture her today. She was about to take a good rest today, so she didn't dress up much. When the emperor walked in, all she could present was her haggard face.

Concubine Xin couldn't get up on the kang, so she had to lie on the kang to greet her, but she was screaming in her heart - how could she meet the emperor in such a most haggard appearance? Just like Mrs. Li, who was "a peerless beauty, and independent of the world", refused to see Emperor Wu of Han again after she was seriously ill; not to mention that she herself dared not compare with Mrs. Li.

But it's too late to regret now, so I can only do this.

She hoped that the emperor would come, but the emperor would not come; and every time the emperor came, it was entirely out of her expectations, and she could not prepare.

She originally... hoped that she could get the emperor's favor again with the opportunity to see him again!

But today, she was afraid that the only thing the emperor remembered was her haggard face, and she was no longer the girl who was just blooming in the 17-year-old flower when she first entered the palace.

In desperation, she could only pull off the tent and learn the method of Mrs. Li back then.

But Mrs. Li was prepared back then, so the scene was sad and sarcastic; but she just started to panic, so her hands were not controlled, but instead she asked the tent to be cut by the tent hook, revealing a big hole.

I wanted to ask the tent to block myself, but the big hole was bigger than half of her body, so she had nowhere to hide.

She was in a mess and could only lie on the kang and bury her head in the pillow.

She was so busy that she was so busy, but in fact the emperor simply didn't care. The emperor just walked leisurely to the south and sat down on the kang. Through the whole room, he looked at Xin Fei on the kang along the north side.

"I have been busy with state affairs these days and haven't come to see you. Are you okay?"

Concubine Xin was sad from it, and there was no need to pretend to be hypocritical, so she was already full of tears, "Emperor... If the emperor doesn't come, only the empress is by my side, how can I be better?"

The emperor's eyes faintly passed through the big hole in the tent, and his facial features were condensed to describe Concubine Xin, who had already dispersed.

"Look, you've been a little haggard these days. What's the point? After really losing your child, will you be sad like this?"

Concubine Xin felt even more painful as if she was cut off by the tip of a knife, and she couldn't help crying, "Emperor, Your Majesty... I originally wanted to lose our child. That child is a piece of flesh of my body, but it is also the emperor's bloodline... I would rather die by myself, and I don't want it to be that child, and he will be gone."

The emperor nodded, "This is the four words "thought to be born". As a mother, she is willing to die on behalf of the child; if the child is really not kept, she is willing to accompany the child to walk the underworld road - this is the greatest and selfless thing in the world."

Concubine Xin nodded and said in tears, "The emperor really understands my heart, and that's how I am. At this time, I really feel that my life is worse than death. After lying like this for a month, I feel that my heart and soul have already gone with my children."

The emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Since you have such kindness, why don't you take action? Why don't you die?"

Concubine Xin never expected that the emperor who had been waiting for so long before he came to say such words to her alone!

Concubine Xin looked at the emperor without even caring about tears. She forgot to breathe in anger, but stared at this lofty man, the man who dominated the world.

He is old and no longer the tall and sharp man she was when she entered the palace ten years ago; at this time, he was graceful and rich, and his middle-aged fat body also rounded his eyes, as if he had worn away the sharp edges and corners.

It makes people feel sometimes in a trance that he seems to have become more tolerant, no longer the sharp-wielding emperor back then.

It was not until this time that Concubine Xin realized that she was wrong.

It's wrong, even outrageous.

Only then did she realize that the emperor's richness and mellowness were just a kind of disguise. This disguise came from the tempering of time, and this disguise perfectly concealed his sharpness - but it never meant that his sharpness really disappeared.

He was still the emperor before, and his killing decision had never been changed; even after he was over fifty years old, the rich and round disguise still became another knife in his hand.

His disguise will make people paralyzed. If he insists on his own and thinks he has successfully deceived him, when you are proud, the new island in his hand will immediately move forward!

It's too late to stab your flesh and blood, move forward, and make people want to dodge again.

The key points are already under his blade and are left to slaughter.

Concubine Xin took a while, tears flowed down in despair, and raised her eyes to stare at the emperor, "Your Majesty... I dare to ask what the emperor said, what does it mean?"

The emperor smiled and shrugged, "Fei Xin, you are too unreal. You can't understand such a simple sentence?"

The emperor's smile made his thin lips finally reveal his ruthlessness under his harmonious state.

"I mean: You shouldn't be surviving anymore, you - damn!"

Concubine Xin couldn't accept it anyway, and she didn't care about hiding her haggard face. Then she raised her head high, stared at the emperor through the broken hole in the tent, and cried sadly, "Why did the emperor say that?"

"It's just that I'm willing to leave for the child... but I'm just describing my mood. I come to the palace to serve the emperor. For me, the child is important, but it's not as important as the emperor!"

"I can't die, nor will I die. Even if I'm depressed for this month, I will definitely get better quickly! I have to serve the emperor, and I have to fulfill my responsibility as a concubine. I will never dare to forget my identity for the sake of a child's death!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and listened, and after listening patiently, his smile became colder.

"I'm not telling you this! I said you should die, not asking you to go to the underworld for your child - I mean, you should die."

Xin Fei's heart seemed to be pressed into a big stone, but her mind was turning quickly. She was not sure if the emperor knew something.

But she was definitely not the one who was willing to die. Even if she was half submerged, she would definitely hold on to a life-saving straw. No matter how thin the straw was, she would climb up and live!

She tried her best to remind herself to calm down, her eyes fixed on the emperor, "I am stupid, please let the emperor make it clear. The emperor must have blamed me for not taking good care of this child, and the child fell off... The emperor waited for ten months with hope, and was waiting for my child to fall safely, but I was unable to give birth to this child safely..."

"The emperor felt sorry for the child and felt extremely heartbroken. He then took his anger to me and said that I deserved to die, right?"

Concubine Xin was really powerful, and the emperor couldn't help laughing out loud.

The emperor shook his head, "It's a good thing you said so interestingly. I couldn't bear to wake you up - but dreams are just dreams after all, they are fake. If you take them too seriously, that's wrong - I can't watch you get deeper and deeper, so let me tell you."

The emperor said, and he picked up the red lips with a naughty look. The fifty-four-year-old man looked like a naughty child at this moment.

"...you, you don't have children at all."

Concubine Xin was stunned and held her breath for too long, so she was so angry that she was so angry that she was overwhelmed.

"What did you say, Your Majesty?" Concubine Xin calmed down in one breath, her heartbeat too fast. She almost said something before she could speak, but her heart first jumped out of her throat, "How come I have no children?"

"The emperor must be heartbroken, so he cut off my discomfort from the root and told such a big joke just to make me feel relieved, right?"

Even Mao Tuaner couldn't stand it anymore and laughed out loud.

The emperor did not look at Concubine Xin, but only glanced at Mao Tuaner, and then laughed.

"Female Xin, I am not in the mood to help you feel relieved - for a person who deceives the king and the emperor, I am just waiting for you to die, so how can I still be content with you?"

Xin Fei's eyes turned dark, as if the sky had turned dark ahead of time; but at this moment, the Western bell on the table rang, clearly bringing the real time into her ears.

It was still early before dark at this hour. But why was it so dark in front of her? It was not dark, but the sky fell, right?

"What the emperor said? What the emperor said..." She was chill all over, her shoulders trembled, and even her crying sound was drained from the underworld, and she no longer had the confidence she had before. "How could I have no children, how could it be?"

The emperor smiled and shook his head slightly, "Because, I have never touched you."

"Where did you get the baby without me? You are pregnant for ten months but can't give birth to anything. It's not that the child has fallen out, but that's it - your belly is empty and you have never had a child at all!"

"As for why your belly is bulging, you already know the reason. Otherwise, how could a woman who is pregnant gets red every month and has a lot of honor? In "The Golden Mirror of the Medical School", there is also a saying that a woman is pregnant with a red baby, but the amount of red baby is different from your big fortune."

It's the end of April, and it's already vaguely like summer.

But Concubine Xin was like falling into an ice cave, and her whole body, and every bone, began to tremble.

The trembling was so cruel that she couldn't speak even if she made a sound. Even if she was making a sound, it was futile and she couldn't get a voice for a long time.

The emperor was impatient and waited again, and smiled coldly, "I know you are so unwilling to give up, and I want to ask something. Well, no joke, of course I will not deceive you. I just haven't touched you - I don't know where your fetus came from."

"If you insist that you have been pregnant, then I can only do this matter and check where the throne of the inner court who has not been touched by me!"

How can Concubine Xin afford such a crime?

She reached out to the emperor in horror, as if she wanted to catch the emperor.

"Your Majesty, don't-" She tried her best and finally got a speech from her throat, "I can't even figure it out. How could it be like this?"

The emperor shrugged leisurely, "Then you have to ask yourself. I have never touched you, where did you get the fetus!"

"But Chen Shiguan has also confirmed that I have a happy pulse!" Concubine Xin's eyes were about to bulge out of her sockets.

The emperor laughed, "Chen Shiguan? A little doctor. I remember that when you said you were happy, Chen Shiguan was even just a doctor! Doctors are students of the Imperial Hospital. They can only serve as followers of the Imperial Doctors. They cannot take pulses separately, and they are not allowed to prescribe separately."

"How can you believe that such a student at the Imperial Hospital who is so short that he can't be more shallow? He takes a step back and says that with his qualifications, he has misjudged his pulse, and I can't blame him. After all, he is young and has little experience, and the other main positions in the palace have never asked him to go on duty."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at Concubine Xin, "It's you, I want to ask you, aren't you unaware of Chen Shiguan's age and qualifications, why did you ask him to come and serve you? There was originally a good imperial doctor Shi Shiqi in your palace, but you abandoned it and insisted on using Chen Shiguan?"

"I think this is because this is your scruple! Because Chen Shiguan is young and has little experience, he will definitely be coerced by you. Of course, he didn't dare to disobey him in a word! With his imperial physician's pulse case, if you meet happy words, you will spread it more and more seriously in this palace."

Concubine Xin stopped in one breath and couldn't speak, so she could only shake her head sadly.

She used Chen Shiguan's intentions, but she didn't ask Chen Shiguan to lie for her! She wanted to use Chen Shiguan to help her hide the matter of the bones... How could she have thought that when this was the case, she turned into this way?
