The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 576 Birth (1)

Mu Xirou looked at him coldly, there seemed to be a flash of water in her eyes, but soon there was only a coldness left: "Master Mu, I don't have an older brother. I was born in a wild mountain village, and my parents are unknown. , who is your sister? Maybe she died a long time ago."

Ye Pei shouted in a deep voice: "Take it away!" Mu Feng screamed and was dragged away.

Silence returned in the hall, and Mu Xirou knelt down again, her expression was completely calm, but the palms had already started to ooze blood.

She said: "I beg Your Majesty to allow my ministers and concubines to become monks and practice cultivation, and the ancient Buddha with the blue lantern will end the rest of my life."

Ye Pei took a deep look at her and said, "Sure."

Mu Xirou kowtowed in thanks before leaving.After Mu Xirou left, Mingyue couldn't help asking Ye Pei: "Why did Your Majesty do that?"

Let Mu Xirou see with her own eyes the face of her brother and lover whom she is so proud of. Although she saved her life, she lost the courage to live and became discouraged about life.Mingyue thought that Ye Pei treated Mu Xirou differently, so she took care of her like this, but from this point of view, it seemed that she was simply trying to make Mu Xirou sober, regardless of the possible ending.Why?
Why?Ye Li said lightly: "She will always figure it out."

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. What happened to Mu Xirou always reminded him of another person, but that person didn't have the good luck of Mu Xirou's life. He was treated as a chess piece, and finally paid the price with his life.Every time I saw Mu Xirou, it was like seeing that person.Even if it caught his attention because of the same encounter, he would not let some things happen again.

For some fools, it is enough to do it once, and for some people, it is enough to get it wrong once.

……

The bitter summer of the Great Jin Dynasty was extremely long.Because of the spread of the war, it seemed to have turned into a pile of hot desert, lifeless.Ye Li's people finally withdrew from the capital and reached the edge of the city gate, they were outnumbered after all.There are many generals under Ye Pei's subordinates, including Zhao Guang and his son from the General's Mansion, the young and brave God of War Jiang Xinzhi, Lin Wei Liu Min and his like in Wen, and Xiao Shao's hundreds of thousands of Jin Yiwei in Wu.Ye Li's men retreated day by day, among which Jiang Xinzhi and Xiao Shao's Jinyiwei were particularly fierce, almost as cruel and ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. Even far less than that, in the end, it almost became a one-sided massacre.

Xiao Shao has always brought the killer's habit to the battlefield. In the eyes of Jin Yiwei, the enemy cannot be called an enemy, but can only be a prey, so killing has become instinctive.Everyone knows why Jiang Xinzhi and Xiao Shao are so crazy, because Ye Li kidnapped Jiang Ruan and killed her.

Ye Li was willing to make this decision at the beginning, probably because Jiang Ruan was in his hands so he was so fearless.As long as Jin Yiwei doesn't show up, Ye Pei's people can only fight him to a tie.Who knew that Yuan Chuan's last trick was to include him, so he and Xiao Shao became a deadly enemy, and it would be a bit more difficult for someone who is against Jin Yiwei to walk in the world.

In addition, there was Ye Pei sitting in charge in the court, and he handled things in an orderly manner. Even those courtiers who were still a little uncertain about their position and had a chance to take chances in the battle for the succession were all arranged and dealt with by Ye Pei one by one.Ye Pei vigorously supported the new courtiers, many of whom had followed his confidantes from the beginning. He was clear about rewards and punishments, and his behavior of settling accounts after autumn also made the courtiers realize that this young emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He saw it a long time ago, but he just couldn't hold back before.

It's just that no matter how fierce the battle is, no matter how frequently the good news is reported.The parties involved, whether it is the emperor or the general's mansion, Jiang Xinzhi or Xiao Shao, all looked without a trace of joy.Especially Xiao Shao, who does things coldly and eats coldly every day, is actually much more indifferent than before, as if nothing in the world can be reflected in his eyes.

"Is there no news yet?" Steward Lin, who should be a new minister of the court now, Lin Wei glanced at Xiao Shao who was standing in the gazebo in the courtyard and didn't know what he was thinking, and asked the people around him.

Qi Feng shook his head, these days, Xiao Shao never gave up looking for Jiang Ruan's whereabouts.Jinyiwei in every place has been notified, but such a large-scale search has no results, maybe it means something.Xiao Shao is a calm and rational person, it is impossible not to know this, but he insists that Jiang Ruan is not dead.At the beginning, Jin Yiwei wanted to find some ashes in the temple that was destroyed by fire, and set up a tomb for Jiang Ruan. After Xiao Shao saw it, he was so angry that he chopped the tomb into pieces with a sword, and then severely punished those who Since then, no one dared to mention the word Jiang Ruan in front of Xiao Shao.

Huiji will be hurt, love will not last long, since Xiao Shao wants to persevere, what can they do?It's just that if you want to hold on to the hopeless hope alone, it's probably because others look at it a little sadly.

Lin Wei also sighed, and said: "Let's go." Just as he was about to leave, he saw Jin Er running out from nowhere, with a very excited expression, holding something, ignoring his lightness skills, and running away In a hurry, he shouted: "Master, master, there is news!"

Qi Feng and Lin Wei were stunned at the same time, and immediately walked towards them quickly, Xiao Shao turned his head, Jin Er was so excited that he didn't care about the courtesy of master and servant, as soon as Qi Feng and Lin Wei approached, they heard Jin Er's voice Voice: "Master, someone found Wang Hao's jewelry in the pawn shop in the south of the city!"

……

Jiang Ruan sewed the last stitch on the gown, bit off the end of the thread with her mouth, and tied the knot skillfully. She did this very skillfully, and Mrs. Gui couldn't help but praise when she saw it, and said that she looked like a rich man. The young lady has delicate skin and tender flesh, so she must have never done any rough work on weekdays. Who would have thought that the clothes were exquisitely sewn, even better than the tailors in the village.

Jiang Ruan just laughed, she also lived in Zhuangzi for a long time, at that time there was endless embroidery work every day, so needlework was naturally practiced.After returning to Shangshu Mansion, she seldom touches needlework, but now she is full of joy when thinking about the child in her belly, and doing needlework is also fun.From spring to summer, in the past few days, I have caught up with some cool summer jackets, all of which are made of cotton, and they are very comfortable to touch.

Mrs. Gui said: "Although you have done a good job, Miss Ruan should not do too much. You must know that your day of giving birth is approaching, so don't make any mistakes because of it. Take a good rest these few days, The weather is also hot, so leave these things to me." She looked at Jiang Ruan's belly, and curiously reached out to touch it: "Look at this big belly, it must be a big fat boy."

Jiang Ruan also looked down at her lower abdomen, reached out to touch it, and seemed to be able to feel the child kicking her.The life here is actually much easier than the life outside before, maybe because this place is remote and isolated from the world, people here don't plan their lives, anyway, it is very suitable for her to raise a baby here.
