Splendid lovesickness

Southern Chu, the first year of Apocalypse.

There has been a lot of rain this year.Just after the frost, it began to rain again, and the rain slanted in, soaking a corner of the blue sleeves.

Mu Xuan has been imprisoned in this small courtyard for two months. Without Pei Zhan's permission, she is not allowed to take half a step out of the door.

There were footsteps in the house, but Mu Xuan didn't turn her head, but her eyes wandered to nowhere.

The visitor was silent for a while, then picked up a crimson cloak and helped her tie it on, his voice was as charming as usual, "Why don't you wear more, it's raining outside, be careful to catch the cold."

Mu Xuan turned her head, seeing Pei Zhan's handsome face.

She smiled sarcastically, but obediently withdrew her hand from the window.

Pei Zhan's eyes slid down to her waist. She was four months pregnant, and her waist was still slender before she could show her pregnancy.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was gentle, "Maybe I can eat something recently? Has the little guy been fussing these two days?"

"Sanggong, do you really want me to give birth to this child?" Mu Xuan stared at his face closely, not letting go of a trace of expression.

Caught off guard by the question, Pei Zhan's smile froze on his face, and it took a long time before he said angrily, "Which servant is chewing the tongue in front of you?"

Mu Xuan smiled sadly, "My father has many wives and concubines. I grew up in the back house. I have never seen any kind of shady tricks. The whole Libai Juli is yours, and the doctor prescribed it for me. , Whether it's a safe or a slippery tire, you naturally know it in your heart."

After a long time, Pei Zhan said in a hoarse voice, "Don't hate me. You can't keep this child."

With the answer to the doubts in her heart, Mu Xuan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.She could no longer care about the pride in her bones, knelt on the ground, and begged Pei Zhan, "My mother-in-law is seriously ill, and I am also very anxious. But how can you believe the words of the wandering Taoist? He said that this child beats his father and grandmother, you I'm going to kill him. If that crazy Taoist says I'm responsible, are you going to kill me too?"

"Master, the medicine is ready." On the mahogany lacquer plate was a bowl of black medicine juice.

Pei Zhan looked at Mu Xuan with a complicated expression.After a long time, he opened his mouth shyly, "Serve Madam to take the medicine."

Two nimble girls came forward.

Mu Xuan knocked over the mahogany lacquer plate, the medicine bowl shattered to the ground, and the juice seeped into the bluestone floor, and disappeared instantly.

She grabbed Pei Zhan's sleeve, and tears kept falling, "What kind of father are you? Tiger poison doesn't eat its offspring, yet you want to kill your own child yourself? It's not as good as a beast."

At this moment, she is not the daughter of Chenghuan at her mother's knee, nor the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, but a desperate young mother.

Pei Zhan was expressionless, and only said in a cold voice, "Go cook another bowl for Madam."

With a crisp sound, five red fingerprints appeared on Pei Zhan's fair face, which was shocking.

The servants were silent, and no one dared to step forward.

She slapped Mu Xuan with all her strength, "I married into the Pei family at the age of 15. In the past two years, I asked myself if I had done anything wrong to you and the Pei family. Why did you do this to me? This child is also a member of the Pei family. , why can't you tolerate him?"

Pei Zhan parted his thin lips lightly, and said word for word, "It's only because he came at the wrong time."

What a bad time!The Pei Zhan in front of her was no longer that affectionate and gentle husband, and Mu Xuan felt a twinge of pain in her heart.

The steaming concoction was brought in again.

Mu Xuan staggered and stood up.Pei Zhan wanted to help her, but she pushed him away.

Pei Zhan finally felt a bit impatient, he turned his back and looked out the window, and gestured towards the room.

The girl next to her immediately stepped forward to support Mu Xuan.

"Presumptuous!" Mu Xuan struggled desperately. After all, the girls didn't dare to attack too hard, but she broke free.

"I don't need you, I'll do it myself!" Mu Xuan wiped away her tears, took the medicine bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

Pei Zhan didn't sleep well that night. In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a servant whispering, "Master, the lady from Li Baiju has had a miscarriage!"

"What did you say?" Pei Zhan stood up abruptly.

Inside the gauze tent, I couldn't see Pei Zhan's expression clearly.The young servant bravely said again, "Master, the lady from Libaiju has had a miscarriage!"

After a long silence, I heard Pei Zhan say slowly, "Understood, you can go down."

The servant retreated silently, and the room was eerily quiet.Pei Zhan stretched out his right hand and looked at it carefully. In the dark night, he couldn't see the color clearly, only his slender fingertips could be seen.

It was this hand that ordered the killing of his own flesh and blood.

Pei Zhan suddenly felt disgusted with himself, and he closed his eyes wearily.
