Jian Xiao sat behind the desk, playing with the dagger Tuo Jinglie left for her. It was too simple. There was no gorgeous gem inlay, no beautiful decoration, just a black handle and a shining silver-gray blade. An ordinary
cowhide scabbard
She took the dagger and gently scratched the books on the desk. The thick stack of paper cracked instantly. It was indeed a good dagger, Jian Xiao thought to herself.
"Empress, what are your plans?" Wanyun made Jian Xiao a cup of tea.
"What's the plan?" Jian Xiao wondered
Wan Yun pursed her lips in the direction of Runyu Pavilion, "Over there!"
"Oh!" Jian Xiao said, "She is pregnant at this time. Take your time."
Wan Yun seemed to want to say something else, but he didn't say anything. Jian Xiao noticed something strange and asked calmly: "Wan Yun seems to be very anxious!"
"No!" Wan Yun said nonchalantly, "It's just that she almost ruined my future. I'm afraid that as time goes by, I'll forget about her!"
"Didn't you tell me that at first? It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years?" Jian Xiao put away the dagger.
"Yes, ten years is not too late!" Wan Yun sighed, with an unspeakable melancholy in his tone.
Jian Xiao was stunned for a moment and didn't care. She was just thinking about her thoughts in her heart.
The wind in the spring night carries the fragrance of flowers. Although Jian Xiao takes care of herself every day, she still feels a little tired, so she goes to bed early at night.
Wanyun came over, looked at the sleeping Jian Xiao, and called out softly, "Look at me, I'll go for a walk!"
Wan Yun returned to the room, changed into white clothes, let down all her hair, and smeared blood on her lips, corners of her eyes, nostrils, and ears with rouge. Wan Yun in the mirror had burns on her face, so
Looks even more terrifying
"Wait for me, I will pay tribute to you tonight!" Wan Yun said lightly.
She took a cloak and hurried outside
Yue Zhaoyi was lying down, feeling uncomfortable all over. Because her belly was big, she couldn't sleep well. She was just irritable. "Double Happiness... Double Happiness... Pour me a glass of water!" Yue Zhaoyi shouted twice, but no one answered.
"This damn girl! Where did she go again?" Yue Zhaoyi struggled to sit up, "I feel uncomfortable here, but you feel comfortable doing it!"
She walked out with a big belly, and suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, and a white figure flashed
"Who is it?" Yue Zhaoyi asked
Seeing no response, she thought she might be dazzled, so she stepped forward to close the door. The moment she moved to the door, a female ghost in white came out instantly, with a pale face, black hair, a ferocious face, and blood from all her orifices.
"Ah..." Yue Zhaoyi screamed and backed away step by step, but the female ghost floated over and pressed forward step by step.
"Do you remember Xiapei..." The ghost's eerie voice came over
Yue Zhaoyi covered her abdomen. When she heard Xia Pei's name, her eyes widened and her whole body trembled, "Xia Pei? Xia Pei! Let me go! Let my children go! I will burn more paper money for you when I go back, burn more!"
The female ghost stretched out her hands and appeared in front of Yue Zhaoyi with bright red nails. Yue Zhaoyi stumbled and fell to the ground with a painful expression on her face, "Xiapei, if you want to blame, blame your mother-in-law, not me! Please let me go...
…”
"Huh huh!" the female ghost sneered, "Every injustice has its own debtor, and you think I don't know..."
Yue Zhaoyi felt that the fetus in her belly was moving violently. She had constant abdominal pain and her lower body was twitching uncontrollably. "Xiapei, don't come here, don't come here... ah..." Sweat appeared on Yue Zhaoyi's head, and her lower body was stained with sweat.
bloody
Yue Zhaoyi's scream caused a commotion outside, and Shuangxi hurriedly said, "Mother, what's wrong..."
"Shuangxi, come and save my...child..." Yue Zhaoyi cried in horror
Shuangxi ran to the front hall, the door was wide open, and found Yue Zhaoyi lying on the ground alone, trembling all over, and her face was pale, "Your Majesty... go and call the imperial doctor quickly, your Majesty is going to have a miscarriage!"
Yue Zhaoyi's blood-stained hands held Shuangxi tightly, "Xiapei is here to find me!"
"Didn't all Xia Pei take poison and die? How could it be?" Shuang Xi was surprised.
Yue Zhaoyi raised her arm and pointed at the door, "She...is..." Shuangxi looked over and saw that there was no one in the dark door, only the dark shadows cast by the swaying lanterns kept shifting.
Jian Xiao was overjoyed in the early morning. She stretched out and felt refreshed. Just as she was about to get out of bed, she saw Wanyun and Jiaojiao kneeling in front of her, looking at loss.
"What's going on? If you show such a face so early in the morning, you may ruin the good mood of the day!" Jian Xiao said
Jiaojiao poked Wanyun, and Wanyun kowtowed, "Mother, Yue Zhaoyi had a miscarriage last night and gave birth to a son."
Jian Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "This is all expected. The sooner she gave birth, the sooner she would be better off! Huh? How could she have a miscarriage?"
Wan Yun took a deep breath, "I pretended to be a ghost to scare her!"
Jian Xiao looked at Wanyun seriously, without any trace of guilt on her body, "Why did you do this?"
Wan Yun had no choice but to explain the whole story clearly.
"So, it was Jiaojiao who rescued you? That's why you were not discovered by the people in Runyu Pavilion?" Jian Xiao asked
"I saw that Wanyun was acting strangely, so I followed him out secretly..." Jiaojiao said
Jian Xiao sighed, "Now that the matter has come to this, what I am saying is in vain. Fortunately, no one will recognize me. If you have anything to do in the future, you must tell me first! You go and prepare some things. We are going to congratulate the emperor!"
Wanyun and Jiaojiao nodded, and just as they were about to leave, Jian Xiao suddenly said: "Wanyun, stay!"
Wan Yun stood at Jian Xiao and said, "The empress said!"
"Wanyun, you have always been cautious and steady. Why are you so abrupt this time? Is it because of that Xiapei you mentioned?" Jian Xiao asked.
Wanyun lowered his head and said nothing
"Wanyun, I don't care how many things you hide from me, but let me tell you, you and I are somewhat ambitious. If you don't tell me something, how can I help you!" Jian Xiao said
Wan Yun sighed, "Mother, Xiapei is a girl. She was given to Yue Zhaoyi as a reward and later she was forced to death by Yue Zhaoyi."
"Last night was her death anniversary?" Jian Xiao asked
Wan Yun nodded and said calmly: "I thought I could not kill her last night, but also my child, but I miscalculated!"
Jian Xiao frowned. She had always thought that Wanyun was smart and scheming, but she had a kind heart. When she heard her say such words for the first time, her heart trembled, "Parents are guilty and not as good as their children!"
"Do you really think someone like Yue Zhaoyi can teach such an outstanding child? If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the child will only do more harm to others in the future!" Yue Zhaoyi asserted.
When Jian Xiao heard this, he was a little touched. Wanyun's words were true. Indeed, the child was deeply affected by what he heard and saw. If he followed Yue Zhaoyi and harmed others, he would not be a good person in the future. Jian Xiao nodded, "Let's go."
