Zhou Shuhe closed his eyes and clasped his hands together. Although his tone was soft, it was at a volume that could be heard by those around him.

She repeated again: "I hope Qi Yu will not leave tonight."

Qi Yu didn't respond.

She slightly opened half of her eyelids, squinted her eyes for a while, then raised her voice, pretending to say: "The believer has one more wish, I hope God will bless Qi Yu, and don't let him be at the age of seventeen or eighteen. suffering from deafness."

"..."

At this point, it would be very impolite to pretend not to hear. He opened his mouth to respond, but he didn't know where to start.

He also wanted to stay with Zhou Shuhe all the time, and he couldn't remember how many years he had thought about it, but when she said that, for some reason, it seemed like a sharp sword was hanging high in his heart, giving birth to a heart-rending feeling cracking fear.

He was actually terrified of touching her.

"Jade Emperor Tathagata Buddha, please listen to what Xinnu said. I promise I will not do anything tonight. I will close my eyes and sleep soundly without moving my hands or feet. Let Qi Yu stay with me more."

The woman was still smiling, but there were still some undetectable tension and astringency, which brought trembling from the lingering sound.

Qi Yu heard it.

He didn't have the time to hesitate and fear anymore, he took half a step forward, and hurriedly grabbed Zhou Shuhe's hand: "You... don't worry, I will be with you."

She opened her eyes and held him back.

The stars in the sky fall into the eyes of the world of mortals.

Zhou Shuhe knew that when facing him, Qi Yu always had a lot of worries and hesitation in his heart, and it was precisely her worries that made him let go of these worries and hesitation.

This is a very strange perception, she is both a knot and a solution, but in fact, she only wants to be his solution.

As autumn passed and winter came, the stove was put into use again, radiating warmth without haste, Zhou Shuhe retreated the other palace people, leaving only Jiyue to watch outside.

Since she was pregnant, besides sending the good things of tribute from all over the place to the empress, the third place is to supply Lanfang Pavilion. Sometimes the queen will also transfer the objects presented to her to Zhou Shuhe, and she wants to have Keeping a low profile, she didn't show too much favor in the clothing and jewelry, but selectively mentioned the food and the expenses in the palace.

Today's Lanfang Pavilion is no longer what it used to be. The walls are covered with embroidered silks and satins, the floor is covered with thick blankets, and the bed is hung with curtains to keep warm.

She lay on her side on the bed, secretly lifted a corner of the curtain, poked her head out, and saw Qi Yu was still sitting upright by the fire, slowly adding new charcoal into it.

"Why haven't you finished it yet?"

Qi Yu turned his back to her, his shoulders stiffened slightly: "Hurry up."

This person procrastinated too obviously, and both of them knew it well, so they didn't want to push him hard. Zhou Shuhe bothered him, and felt that this silly look was a bit cute, so he snorted and retreated behind the bed curtain, laughing out of anger Nor is it.

After another half a cup of tea, Qi Yu added charcoal and wiped off the old ashes from the fire by the stove, even the fine toner on the carpet was wiped clean.Finally having nothing to do, he was dazed for a while, then dragged his way to the bed, staring at the beautifully embroidered curtains again.

The bed curtain was pulled back with a "wow--", Qi Yu was startled, and almost couldn't help but take a half step back, but was grabbed by the hand protruding from inside.

The room was very warm, and Zhou Shuhe didn't wear satin pajamas, but only put two layers of gauze on the bottom lining. The movement of opening the curtain raised the wind, and the gauze was light and thin, and moved with the wind.

And he dared not move.

Qi Yu locked her eyes on the edge of the bed, and was careful not to deviate from the gauze, while her body sat on the edge of the bed meekly with her strength.

that's enough.Zhou Shuhe sighed, closed his eyes and quietly pressed his fingers into his. The tightly clasped hand stiffened for a moment, then slowly but firmly held her back.

"Qi Yu."

"Ok?"

"I'm going to sleep. I have reserved a place for you on the bed. You can sleep on the bed if you like. If you don't want to, the felt mats are all laid out. Jiyue and Chunye will lie down and sleep for a while at night. Don't just sit around all night stupidly."

"it is good."

"If I feel uncomfortable, I will call you by myself. Don't worry about this and that. It's easy to grow old." She didn't know what to think, and let out a muffled laugh from her throat, "It's easy to grow tall."

Qi Yu was not too happy to hear people say that, so he whispered, "I'm not short."

"But it can still grow, you are young, young people should relax, the road is so long, there are so many things, don't push yourself too hard, the dispute between the front and the harem is impossible, but I can wait for you , don't worry."

It was already very late at night, the candles were cut out early, and only the stove was still burning brightly in the whole dormitory. Qi Yu sat with his back against the bedpost, looking at the woman on the bed, with a viscous, almost substantive desire.

This is when her eyes are open, and he will definitely not show emotion.

There was no wind or rain that night. Qi Yu sat by the bed for a long time, so long that Zhou Shuhe, who was still pretending to sleep, really fell asleep in a daze. She couldn't tell whether it was in a dream or outside the dream. Someone responded in a low voice.

"it is good."

In the 22nd year of Taiping, on the first day of the first lunar month, Yihe Gongyuan beauty gave birth to a prince, who was named Chengyan.

This year's New Year's Eve is the five-year banquet for officials. The Imperial Hospital sent people to the front hall of the Taiji Hall to report to the emperor that Yuanmei's labor was not going well.

The emperor was very anxious, but he really couldn't leave, so he had to appoint Qi Yu, the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, to assist the empress in charge of all affairs.

"This is my third child," the emperor said in a heavy robe with a cold face, "I have many concubines, but so far there are only three children. There is no need to come back, just go directly to the Department of Punishment to lead to death."

"I said so, do you understand?"

The emperor's intentions were just written in black and white in his face - as a last resort, kill the mother and take the son.

Qi Yu bowed down, and the lights cast a long shadow, covering up the coldness in his eyes.

fortunately.

Fortunately, the imperial hospital has been properly arranged. Under the operation of Zhou Shuhe, the imperial doctor Xu went to the court to judge, and the empress connives, and the concubine Zhuang shrinks back. Even these stable women and doctors are selected by him from outside the palace. They don't recognize the emperor. , only recognize him as Qi Yu.

If the child is gone, you can still find someone else, but Zhou Shuhe only has one. If it is really a last resort, there will be no second choice.

He didn't care who was executed, he was the same as others, what he was worried about was if there were other cronies of the emperor among those who participated in the delivery, if this person knew the emperor's thoughts earlier than him, even if there was no such thing as dystocia in the first place What happened——Zhou Shuhe's body has been carefully taken care of, she has good physical strength, and the child is of a suitable size—if this matter was instructed by Concubine Zhuang or Concubine Jia who has not moved.

She or they fabricated the news that Yuanmei was having a difficult childbirth, or simply found an opportunity to make a move, causing Zhou Shuhe to have an accident, forcing the emperor to abandon his concubine to protect Longzi, and also let those present who were good at guessing the holy will take action spontaneously.

Qi Yu's heart felt cold, and he barely controlled his expression, bowed and quickly walked away from the court banquet, and even ran straight away after staying away from the sight of everyone at the banquet.

If, if...

That was a fault that he could never make up for even if he died ten thousand times.

There was a panic in Lanfang Pavilion, and Chunye was taking the freshly cooked medicine from the small kitchen, when she saw a person who looked like a beast with a head that lost its head, suddenly plunged into the courtyard of Lanfang Pavilion, knocking her just in time With a stagger, the medicine bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"You're crazy!" she scolded.

The man ignored her, anxiously said: "Why did you come out, where is Sending Moon!?"

"What?" Chunye's face was full of confusion, she didn't understand what was going on, but her eyelids jumped wildly as if rushing.

"Just now, Xu Yuanpan fainted from a sudden old illness, and sent Yue to the imperial hospital to seek emergency treatment from Li Yuanzheng. Xu Yuanpan's apprentice Cao Taiyi asked me to bring the decocted medicine..."

He didn't have the patience to ask any more questions, he pushed away those who were in the way, and rushed into the delivery room amidst exclamations.
