Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Wei Xiuyan's chest so hard that she could hardly breathe. She covered her ears and screamed: "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it!"
Hongli pulled her hand down forcefully and forced her to continue to listen to him, "Killing this child will make your family come back to life? No, no one can come back to life. Instead, you will lose your only relative, Xiuyan."
,Is this what you want?"
Wei Xiuyan was crying until she couldn't stop crying. In fact, she was never willing to let go. However, she couldn't pass the test in her heart and couldn't act as if nothing had happened.
She raised her tear-stained face and said helplessly: "Tell me, what should I do?"
Hongli saw the struggle and contradiction in Wei Xiuyan's heart. He knew that if this knot was not resolved, the child in her belly would be in danger, and this was something he could not accept.
After a long time, he raised his hand to stroke away the tears on Wei Xiuyan's face and said, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation!" After that, he raised his voice and said, "Bring me the dagger!"
Hearing this, Butler Zhao was startled and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what do you want the dagger for?"
Hongli did not answer his words and only said: "Go and get it!"
Butler Zhao did not dare to ask more questions, so he took the dagger as he was told. After Hongli took it, he handed it to Wei Xiuyan, who was still crying, and said: "I lied to you, and now... I'll give you a knife back!"
When Butler Zhao heard this, his expression changed with horror, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
Hongli ignored him and just put the dagger into the stunned Wei Xiuyan's hand and said: "Don't worry, no one will hold you accountable!"
Wei Xiuyan stared blankly at the dagger in her hand that shone with cold light, and her ears echoed over and over again what Hongli had just said - give you a knife back! Give you a knife back!
In the flickering candlelight, a look of ferocity appeared on her face, and she slowly raised her hand. Butler Zhao was afraid that she would really hurt Hongli, so he quickly went up to hold her hand and said nervously: "My lady, no!"
Although the emperor killed the Wei family, he has always been very kind to you, far better than your family."
"Back off!" Faced with Hongli's words, Butler Zhao did not listen this time. He shook his head in panic and said: "Your Majesty, it is related to the safety of the dragon body. You must not..."
Hongli lowered his face and interrupted with a cold voice: "Didn't you hear what I said? Get out!"
Under Hong Li's repeated scolding, Butler Zhao had no choice but to let go and retreat, but he did not dare to go too far away. He stared at Wei Xiuyan closely, and at the same time called a young boy who was also frightened, saying: "Go quickly
Please come over, doctor."
Wei Xiuyan's hand holding the handle of the knife tightened again and again. She really wanted to stab her with the knife and get back what Hongli owed her, but... as Butler Zhao said, since he stepped into Guangxiu Garden, Hongli had
He had always treated her well and never treated her badly. On the contrary, her family had persecuted and threatened her in every possible way in order to avoid the punishment of being exiled to Ning Guta. Only her father still cared about the feeling of father and daughter and allowed her to make her own choice.
However, no matter how bad they were, no matter how ruthless they were, they were still her family members. Hongli should not have promised himself and then ordered them to be executed at the same time!
Thinking of this, a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes, and she stabbed Hongli with the knife tremblingly. Just when the tip of the dagger was about to penetrate Hongli's clothes, she suddenly stopped her hand, looked down at her bulging abdomen, and
Just now, the baby who was less than four months old suddenly moved
When she got up, this was the first time she felt fetal movement, like... a butterfly flapping its wings, and like a deer beating inside. It was only at this moment that she truly felt that she was pregnant with a child in her belly, and the man in front of her...
He is the child's father.
After a long time, she let go of her hand and let the dagger fall to the ground. Seeing this scene, Butler Zhao let out a sigh of relief. He was so scared that his heart almost jumped out. Fortunately, the lady stopped in the end, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Hongli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, held Wei Xiuyan's shoulders and said, "Does this mean you forgive me?"
Wei Xiuyan raised her head and said with a complicated expression: "He just moved in my stomach. This is the first time he moved. It seemed to be telling me not to do that and not to hurt you."
Hongli looked at Wei Xiuyan in astonishment. For a long time, he stretched out his hand to touch the bulging abdomen. As if he felt his father's touch, the young fetus moved again.
At that moment, Hongli's heart was filled with emotions that he could not explain, and what followed was a flood of sadness. All along, he did not regard this child as his own flesh and blood, but only regarded him as a savior.
Yong Cun's tool, but this child who has only just formed, seems to already know who his parents are, and uses his meager strength to protect his parents.
But...he didn't know that when he was born, he was about to die, and the person who killed him was his biological father!
Hongli swallowed the sobs in his throat and said hoarsely: "Xiuyan, for the sake of this child, can you forgive me this time?"
Wei Xiuyan looked at him blankly for a long time, then she said: "Will you lie to me again in the future?"
Her words made Hong Li feel a slight pain in his heart. He held Wei Xiuyan's hand and said, "No, I promise you that I will never lie to you in the future."
I'm sorry, I must save Yongxing!
Wei Xiuyan didn't know what Hongli was thinking. She knelt down and picked up the dagger that fell on the ground. After giving it to her personal maid, she said slowly: "I accept this dagger. If the emperor lies to you again next time, I will use it."
I want this knife back with interest!"
"Okay." Hongli agreed, helped her sit down in the chair, and said gently: "Do you feel uncomfortable in any way?"
Wei Xiuyan shook her head and said: "I'm fine, but there is something I want to ask the emperor."
"Just ask." Facing Hongli's gaze, Wei Xiuyan said in a condensing voice: "What does it mean for the Queen to execute my family members?"
Hongli frowned slightly and said, "Why do you ask like that?"
"Please answer me, Your Majesty." Faced with Wei Xiuyan's words, Hongli shook his head and said, "This matter is my decision and has nothing to do with the Queen." After a pause, he continued: "Speaking of which, this matter,
Who told you?"
Wei Xiuyan lowered her eyes and said: "It doesn't matter who said it, it's over. In fact, it doesn't matter if I know about it, at least the emperor doesn't have to bother to hide it from me in the future." After saying that, she said: "I want to go to worship tomorrow.
See the family."
Hongli hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, I'll let Butler Zhao make arrangements, but you have to promise me not to be too sad, so as not to cause fetal infection; the deceased is dead, and the child in your belly is the most important thing for you and me."
Dear relatives."
"I know." Wei Xiuyan took a breath and said, "I will give birth to this child well, then raise him and watch him marry and have children." Fortunately, Hongli arrived in time to stop her from drinking.
That bowl of abortion pills, otherwise I will definitely regret it, but...
She looked at Hongli and hesitated to speak. The latter saw her expression and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
