Chapter 413 (1/2)
The imperial concubine Zhou Leping is so guilty that it's not entirely her responsibility. However, if she hadn't hidden the matter, she would have noticed it earlier and even avoided it as long as she didn't go the wrong way.
She was sleepy and tired. Her brain ached as if she had been cut down with a knife, but she didn't dare to sleep. The big imperial concubine was acting strangely. She had to watch.
But in my heart, it was useless to tighten the thought. Because she was hurt, she couldn't control herself. As soon as the carriage got up, she fell asleep.
The imperial concubine looked at Zhou Leping as she closed her eyes and went to sleep. She took off her outer robe and covered her face with tears. ”You must know, you must know where he is, but why do you keep it from me? How can I live without him? I can't live now, but what about my winter solstice? ”
In his sleep, Zhou Leping frowned and didn't know what he was dreaming about. The imperial concubine patted her on the back and murmured, ”when the winter solstice was born, you were with me. You saw the child coming to this world. I have no one else to entrust. I'll give it to you... I don't worry.”
It's up to you. I can rest assured.
This sentence lingers in her ears, and slowly blows into Zhou Leping's dream. She dreams of the great imperial concubine, and dreams of her supporting the orphan, so she wakes up with a fierce spirit.
At this time, it was already daybreak outside the car. The carriage drove into the capital and was heading for the palace. Zhou Leping didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw the robe on his body. With a thump in his heart, he turned to see the imperial concubine beside him. She sat there quietly and closed her eyes as if she was asleep.
Zhou Leping was relieved and gently shook her, ”sister-in-law, we're home.”
The big imperial concubine was shocked by her, but she fell down straight. That's why Zhou Leping saw the blood under her body, a hairpin inserted into her abdomen, and the blood on the ground was dry.
She was stunned for a long time and didn't respond. At last, the carriage stopped and the soldiers came to ask her to get off. As soon as she looked up, two lines of tears ran down her cheeks.
Zhou Leping didn't go back to his home last night, and Zhu GuanLiang didn't either. He went to the bamboo grove. The waiter over there said that Shan Ning couldn't drink any more water. He said that it might be tonight, so let him have a look.
Zhu GuanLiang went to see Shan Ning. His face was bloodless and his hands and feet were cold. He lay on the bed and sighed softly. He said he wanted to see the imperial concubine and the winter solstice, but he couldn't. He could only sigh again and then smile at him. ”I didn't want you to see me like this.”
Zhu GuanLiang holds his hand and calls him big brother in his voice.
Shan Ning didn't even have the strength to comfort him. In just a few days, he was thin and not mature. He had more air in and less air out. ”Help me take good care of your sister-in-law and the winter solstice. I don't want him to be promising, just be healthy.”
”I will.”
Shan Ning nodded weakly, ”good son, without big brother, in the future Qi country such a big burden can all pressure on you.”
