During this year, Xi Shi did not know how many times she danced wearing those wooden clogs. The corridor built by Fucha was named "Sound Clog Corridor" and was specially reserved for Xi Shi to dance.The court ladies all looked at Xi Shi enviously, every time Xi Shi saw their eyes, she had to dodge hastily.Only a handful of people know about her suffering, and outsiders only see the brilliance of her body, but this internal force has long been devastated and fragile.

Zheng Dan's life was not good either. Although there was no such physical torture, the mental pain far surpassed that of Xi Shi.Recently, Ah Zhi was a little unhappy, because Xi Shi smiled less every day, and her temper became more and more irritable every day. She would get angry at the pots and pans every day, and she always asked, but Xi Shi refused to do anything speak.

"Are you tired of me? Why do you keep a straight face when you see me?"

"No." Xi Shi said casually.

"Can't you just smile?"

Xi Shi said impatiently: "I smile at others all day long, how did I come to you, do I still smile at you? Are you tired!"

Ah Zhi felt a blow to the head, his nose was sore, and a drop of tear suddenly flowed out.

"Am I not good to you? I am so good to you, why are you so cruel to me!" she yelled.

Xi Shi turned her face away and sighed, not knowing how to comfort her, but feeling a mess in her head, she gritted her teeth and said:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to attack you."

A Zhi refused to let go: "There are only two of us in this room, you are not attacking me, but who are you attacking?"

During these days, Ah Zhi has grown up a lot. Although his eyes are still clear and his heart is still simple, he has unknowingly learned to care about others. At the same time, he has also learned to ask others to take care of himself. up.This is not a bad thing in the first place, but it adds pressure to Xi Shi invisibly.

This is a happy pressure, but it is pressure after all.One person's gloom is the biggest barrier between two people, she blames Azhi for not understanding, Azhi blames her for not caring, blames each other, finally couldn't bear it, broke out.

"Do you want to quarrel?" Xi Shi asked coldly.

"It's noisy! You smile at Fu Chai all day long, but you are indifferent to me. Did you not like me from the beginning, and you just kept me by your side because you were bored?"

"You always think of me like this?"

"Answer me, you are so beautiful, versatile, well-educated, and burdened with heavy burdens, how could you fall in love with someone like me with unknown background? Do you... want to use me, but now that you are done using me, you think I am boring ?”

Xi Shi looked at A Zhi as if she didn't know her: "Who told you this?"

"No one told me, I thought of it myself!"

Xi Shi still suppressed her temper: "If you insist on thinking like this, I can't help it."

Ah Zhi suddenly cried: "Is this really the case? Then I won't bother you, why don't I go away!"

Xi Shi's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't know what was wrong, she seemed to be holding her breath, unable to speak softly, she opened her mouth, and what she said was:

"Go if you want, I can't stop you."

The most irritating thing is that when you are yelling, the other party looks indifferent.The more Ah Zhi listened, the angrier he became, he really lost his temper, stalked his neck, and walked out the door in a few steps.Xi Shi didn't expect to really drive her away, angry and regretful, she hurriedly chased her out, but there was no sign of A Zhi?

She didn't wear a mask, so if she walked around like this, if someone saw her, she might be in trouble.Xi Shi didn't care about the darkness of the night, so she ran out of the palace gate, searched everywhere in the palace, and finally found her in the corridor of ringing clogs.

Ah Zhi was crying alone under the pillar, his figure looked very lonely.Xi Shi's anger disappeared in an instant, thinking that there was indeed something wrong with her, and because of Azhi's closeness with her, she spoke sarcasticly to her, she really didn't know what to do.

She sighed, walked over to hug Azhi, Azhi twisted his body, struggled a little, but didn't intend to break away.

"Ah Zhi... It's dangerous for you to run around like this, you'd better go back."

Ah Zhi was sobbing: "I'm not afraid of danger, so leave me alone."

"It's...it's cold, you don't have much to wear, go back."

"Hmph, it's much warmer than your palace..."

Xi Shi pursed her lips, took a long breath, and surrendered: "You are gone...what should I do?"

Only then did Ah Zhi raise his head, and looked at her with tears in his eyes.

Xi Shi strikes while the iron is hot: "I can't live without you. There are crises everywhere here. Only by your side can I feel safe. I can only tell you many things I hold in my heart—you, if you leave, I don't want to hold it back alive." die?"

Ah Zhi still frowned, and asked gently: "That's all, nothing else?"

Xi Shi had no choice but to say: "It's my fault, I shouldn't lose my temper with you, no matter what you think, I...I like you, from the very beginning."

Only then did Ah Zhi smile through his tears: "I knew you were trying to anger me on purpose, didn't you?"

Xishi said in her heart that she didn't know who was angry with whom, but Azhi didn't really abandon her in the end, and this was the happiest thing - it's been a long time, and she has never felt so relieved.

According to Fan Li's words, he transported [-] fine seeds. Fu Chai saw that the seeds were plump, and smiled happily:

"Okay, okay, it really is a good seed. It seems that your Yue Kingdom has a good harvest this year?"

"Thanks to the help of the king, otherwise, before the food comes out this year, half of the people in Yue Kingdom may have become hungry ghosts."

Fu Chai laughed, grabbed a handful of seeds and held them in his hand, and ordered the treasury officials to distribute the grain and grass to the farmers for sowing.

During the past year, he didn't do any important things, and he kept ordering people to build lofts and platforms everywhere, spending a lot of money.One of the high platforms has been built, named Gusu Terrace, overlooking the whole city of Gusu.Fu Chai took Zheng Dan to the high stage to have fun when he had nothing to do. He looked very proud when he saw the prosperity of Gusu City.Zheng Dan was secretly delighted that the arrogant soldiers would be defeated, thinking that the state of Wu was not far away from becoming weak.

Fu Chai put the seeds in front of Zheng Dan and said with a smile:

"The country of Yue is still keeping its word. This kind of seed is full of grains. It just started spring this year, and it looks like the weather is going well. When the autumn harvest comes, there will be a bumper harvest! At that time, if you have no home, you will have rice from the country of Yue to eat."

Zheng Dan picked up two seeds and looked at them, and felt that although the seeds were big, they were a little vain.Although she didn't live in the mountain village for a long time, she had seen the grain seeds before, and they were not so big. Could it be that Fan Li really picked the best seeds for Fucha as she said, but this is unreasonable!

Taking advantage of Fucha's inattention, Zheng Dan picked up a seed, put it in his mouth and bit it, then frowned.This taste is too strange, it doesn't look like biting on a solid rice seed, but like biting on rice.She spat out half of the seeds in her mouth, took half of the seeds in her hand and looked at them carefully, her face turned pale immediately.Where are the seeds? It's obviously steamed half-cooked rice without shelling it!She hastily grabbed a few more and bit off one by one, every single one was like this.

She was shocked, this Doctor Fan is too ruthless, if Wu Guo sows this kind of seed, it will not be a problem of bad harvest, it will be a matter of no harvest!

"Homeless, what's the matter?" Fu Chai just turned around and saw Zheng Dan's surprised face.

Zheng Dan said: "Your Majesty... this seed... have you asked someone to sow it?"

"Yes, it would be a pity not to sow such good seeds."

"Still... don't want it. After all, these are the seeds of the Yue Kingdom. If the water and soil are different, the harvest will not be good..."

Fu Chai waved his hand: "What are you talking about? Wuyue is just across a river, and there is no difference between water and soil. Besides, didn't you come up with this method? If the seeds are not scattered, it is [-] shi of grain. It’s not enough to feed the people of a city, so didn’t the widow borrow a hundred thousand stones of grain and grass from the Yue Kingdom for nothing?”

Just as Zheng Dan was about to say something, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness deep in his throat, and he covered his mouth and retched.

Fu Chai hurriedly called the imperial physician, and after the imperial physician diagnosed the pulse, he cupped his hands:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Empress Beigong is very happy."

"What?" Fu Chai was overjoyed: "Are you serious? Hahahaha, homeless, did you hear me, I finally waited until today!"

Zheng Dan only felt the cold air coming from the depths of his pores, but he could only force a smile:

"Really? I..."

Fucha danced and danced: "Don't doubt it. After so many years, I finally let the widow wait. In fact, I have already thought about the name of the child. It is called You. How about you take a look? The widow is ready. If it is a boy, he will be born immediately." Be a prince!"

"My lord, this..." Zheng Dan was too shocked to speak.Ever since Fu Chai married Xi Shi Zheng Dan, he has never taken another woman, and now he has only been around himself for two years. He has been waiting for this day for a long time. Now the good news is finally here. He even has the dignity of the king. No more, just like a child.

"The decree goes on, the empress of Beigong is happy, and the widow will pardon the world! Those who have been sentenced to less than three years will be released, and those who have been sentenced to more than three years will be subtracted from three years, and the death row prisoners who are waiting to be executed will be changed to life imprisonment! Wu country!"

Zheng Dan closed his eyes and cursed inwardly: You've blessed everything, but why don't you protect me!

Back in the palace, Zheng Dan went to look for Xi Shi and told her about the matter eagerly, Xi Shi was also horrified:

"What... what should I do? Fucha also knows that you are pregnant, so it's not easy to handle! You can't follow me to have an abortion without permission, you will definitely be watched closely!"

Zheng Dan gritted his teeth: "But, is it true that I was born—by the way, do you know what kind of grain Dr. Fan sent?"

Xi Shi said: "I guess, he didn't really send good seeds, it's probably just ordinary grain."

"No...he sent steamed seeds! And Fu Chai has already distributed the seeds to the farmers for sowing!"

"How could it be like this!" Xi Shi was shocked: "This clearly does not give the people of Wu a chance to survive! King Yue and Fan Li have gone too far!"

Zheng Dan lowered his head: "Don't say that. For Dr. Fan, this may be what he expected. In this way, the state of Wu must be in trouble. Now the state of Wu is strong on the surface, but in fact it is already empty inside. Once it happens, I am afraid that the great cause will be accomplished."

"You think he did the right thing?" Xi Shi frowned.

"No... But it's not bad. In short, we can get out of the sea of ​​suffering sooner."

Xi Shi shook her head: "Don't think so much. Since Fan Li has already started, it means that our task has been almost completed. From now on, as long as we stay safe, I believe that within two years, the matter will be settled. You should worry now, It's your stomach."

Zheng Dan slammed the table down: "If it's a girl, it's possible to survive. If it's a boy, whether I like it or not, he will be killed by the Yue Kingdom sooner or later. But if I don't give birth... I have another What is the way not to give birth?"

"Forget it." Xi Shi said quietly: "Don't think about it, I'll see Fan Li tomorrow to see what he means. You must not do stupid things, not to mention whether you will be discovered, but the danger of abortion itself , It’s also very big, if it wasn’t for Ah Zhi, I’m afraid I would have died last time.”

Zheng Dan sat down with blank eyes and hugged his head in distress.

"Oh." Xi Shi smiled wryly: "It's really ironic. Whether a child is born or not, the parents don't count, and you have to ask outsiders."

"Doctor Fan, you are not actually an outsider." Zheng Dan said silently.

"He is an outsider, why do you still have expectations for him? Not to mention an empty promise, even if a great cause is really achieved, then he will be a hero under one person and above ten thousand people. You are just a subjugated man Concubine, no matter how much he loves you, how can he marry you and demean himself, why don't you understand?"

Zheng Dan raised his head, eyes full of sadness: "I know, I know."

"You are just deceiving yourself!"

"Perhaps, but one must have something to think about when one is alive." After Zheng Dan finished speaking, he immediately got up, dragged his heavy steps, and left the West Palace without looking back.

Xi Shi sighed. It turned out that Zheng Dan knew that this was just an unrealistic fantasy, but she still refused to give up. Should she say that she is too obsessed, or that she is too tough?

——But everything has come to this point, we can only wait, maybe after everything is over, the homeless will turn back to that high-spirited woman... But, they are no longer young.
