Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Later, the two of them accidentally met again on Waiyuan Street. Yu Piaolan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark, so she asked Leng Qujing to come in for tea. Leng Qujing looked at her and said again: "You are still so brave."

Leng Qujing still went into the house. The things happening in his house had already made him very upset, and he didn't know where to calm himself down.

He was even more surprised by the small change Yu Piaolan handed him. This was a different woman.

The two gradually became familiar with each other, and Leng Qujing would sit in the small courtyard from time to time.

Yu Piaolan has received news from her sisters. Qiulan has entered the palace and become a maid. A maid of the lowest level must be cautious and have a hard time in the palace, and the other sisters... In this world, it is really too difficult for women to live a good life. Mulan gave birth to a daughter as her first child, so she couldn't hold her head up in her husband's family. Xialan and Xiulan could only barely make ends meet. Chunlan has not been pregnant yet, and her life in her husband's family is even more difficult. Guilan, who has the gentlest temperament, is the one that makes Yu Piaolan the most sad. Her husband is addicted to alcohol and will hit Guilan once he drinks.

If... if the sisters had someone to back them up, wouldn't it be so difficult?

Leng Qujing came to the small courtyard more and more frequently, and Yu Piaolan's heart became more and more shaken. Finally one day, Yu Piaolan put her arms around his waist from behind, her cheek pressed against his broad back, and she... left him that night.

In the dungeon of the Imperial City Governor, Yu Piaolan said softly, "General, you haven't been angry with your wife recently, have you? Your wife is not good at managing the household, so you should just let the wet nurse take care of the household from now on."

"I know. When you come out, you can continue to help the wet nurse. She's old, and we can't let her do all the hard work. You have to take care of our child yourself. If it's a boy, I'll take care of him myself when he's older. If it's a girl, you can take care of her yourself."

"...Great! General, have you chosen a name for the child?"

Leng Qujing's expression softened even more: "I have chosen some names for both boy and girl. We will decide after the baby is born."

"it is good!"

Leng Qujing was a little worried: "It must be very boring to be here all day, just wait a little longer."

Yu Piaolan smiled and replied, "No, General! My people are imprisoned here, but my heart is free!"

I've never felt so relaxed!

Lan Shuren stood out in this autumn's imperial examination and won first place. He only had to wait for the palace examination next spring.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye another year has passed. Now it is February of the tenth year of Shenwu.

Lan Qingwu ordered Qiulan to prepare the things needed for Yu Piaolan's delivery in Suowu Palace, and Qiulan took the order and left.

By this time, Yu Piaolan was already in labor. Nie Wushuang, using all his medical skills, managed to delay the fetus until it was eight months old. Yu Piaolan's body had reached its limit, and with great difficulty, she gave birth to a baby girl in the dungeon. The premature baby cried only a few times, and afterward, Yu Piaolan didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.

Nie Wushuang walked out of the dungeon with a serious expression. At this time, the entire dungeon was covered by a layer of curtain.

Nie Wushuang walked out of the dungeon door, and the midwife handed the baby in her hand to Leng Qujing. Leng Qujing carefully took the child he had been waiting for for a long time. After just a few glances, he felt the baby's weakness.

Nie Wushuang said solemnly, "General Leng, this child was born prematurely, so he's weak. As long as the wet nurse takes good care of him, there won't be any problems. It's just..."

Leng Qujing suddenly felt uneasy. He handed the baby to the wet nurse behind him: "Just what?"

"But I, your concubine, have exhausted all my energy and am at the end of my rope!"

Leng Qujing was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't understand what Nie Wushuang meant. Then he reached out and pushed Nie Wushuang away, striding into the dungeon.

In the dungeon, Yu Piaolan lay on the wooden bed with her eyes quietly closed, her expression calm and peaceful.

Leng Qujing's heart trembled, and he knelt directly beside the bed. He seemed unable to bear to touch her. He raised his hand for a moment before gently placing it on Yu Piaolan's cheek.

Yu Piaolan opened her eyes slightly, her face pale and weak, her voice faint, "General, you always say I'm very courageous, but in fact, I'm the least courageous. When I first met you, I knew you were a good person, so I dared to ask you to take me on horseback. The second time I was arrested and imprisoned in the women's prison, I mustered all my courage to beg that person not to feed me the medicine, but... he still fed me some medicine, which is why our child was born prematurely."

Leng Qujing held Yu Piaolan's hand tightly, unwilling to let go even a little: "It's okay, it's okay, we will take good care of the child, she will grow up eventually, let's watch her grow up together, okay? Have you seen her? She looks like you, very beautiful!"

Yu Piaolan said softly, "Really? My daughter looks like you... General, I want to ask you for a favor."

"You said...you said..."

Yu Piaolan thought back to her short life. She had endured many hardships, but many people had also helped her. It seemed that she had no regrets in her life, except...

"General, women are inherently weak, and it's already difficult for them to survive in this world. I don't want our daughter to have such a hard time. If one day, if possible, I hope you can stand behind Concubine Yi and support all her decisions. Concubine Yi... has saved me from danger time and time again, and I can never repay her again."

Leng Qujing's eyes were blurred, and he could hardly see Yu Piaolan's face. He answered without hesitation: "Okay! Okay!"

"General, please don't bury me in the Leng family's ancestral tomb! Just help me choose a beautiful place with mountains and rivers, so that I can look at you from afar."

"Okay, okay, I'll agree to whatever you say, just don't leave me... don't leave me..."

The sound of weeping echoes in the dungeon. Who is weeping over the departure of their loved ones? Or who is reluctant to let their souls go, wishing for something else? I only wish I could stay a moment longer, so that I could see them one more time!

"General..."

Yu Piaolan's voice was so weak that it was inaudible: "I think her name is... Yu'er..."

The cries in the prison will eventually lead to the death of honor!

Leng Qujing gradually calmed down. He reached out his hand and carefully adjusted Yu Piaolan's face. "I'm sorry, I'm going to break my promise. I understand what you mean. You even died for my sake. How can I let you be left with no place to go? Let's go! I'll take you home! This time, no one can stop us!"

Nie Wushuang stood quietly at the door of the dungeon. As an imperial physician, he once again felt his powerlessness. He... was not a god after all and could not save everyone.

Nie Wushuang watched Leng Qujing walk out of the dungeon. The man closed his eyes quietly and was held in Leng Qujing's arms. He watched Leng Qujing walk out of the dungeon step by step. Leng Qujing's painful look was deeply engraved in Nie Wushuang's heart.

Lan Qingwu in Suowu Palace stood up in disbelief: "How could it be? Qiulan, I just asked you to visit her..."

Qiulan choked up and said, "Master, it's true. I arrived too late and ran into them right there... General Leng came out holding Sister Piaolan... Imperial Physician Nie said that Sister Piaolan was finally affected by the drug and her body gradually weakened. She finally died."

Lan Qingwu understood: "Maybe she was unable to get pregnant. After the accidental pregnancy, only one of the mother and child can survive."

Qiulan said, "Imperial Physician Nie said that Sister Piaolan had already decided to die. She had already lost her vitality when she cut her wrists, and then there was that poisonous drug..."

"Why didn't he say so earlier!"

"Because... Sister Piaolan wants to protect the child and the general's reputation!"
