Tuoba Yu only felt that he heard the most beautiful notes in the world, which made his heart warm like hot spring water. With bright phoenix eyes, he kissed her heavily on the top of her hair. His voice was clear and firm, "Yes, I will too."
Love you and only you!"
Bo Liuzhi's eyes and brows were filled with a smile, she shrank into his arms, found a comfortable position, and enjoyed the time the two of them embraced.
Her little hands touched his waist and abdomen.
Tuoba Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, grabbed her hand, and stopped letting her light the fire. His voice was a little unnatural, "Zhizhi, don't make trouble, just stay there."
Feeling that his chest was hardened, Bo Liuzhixiao opened his hand and held the blood jade at his waist. He lowered his head and touched it with his fingertips. It was smooth and had the slightest warmth.
, his hand was immediately heated by the blood jade.
I thought to myself, no wonder he always likes to play with it.
Tuoba Yu lowered his eyes slightly, hooked his long arms, and asked her to sit on his lap, "Like it?"
Bo Liuzhi nodded, then shook his head.
Tuoba Yu raised his eyebrows.
"It looks good on you." Bo Liuzhi looked up and smiled at him.
She knew that if she nodded, he might give it to her.
With a smile in his eyes, Tuoba Yu took off the blood jade, lowered his head and hung it on her waist attentively, "It will look better if you wear it..."
"No, I don't want..." Bo Liuzhi blushed and reached out to pull it.
Tuoba Yu lifted her up and asked her to sit astride his lap. With clear eyes, he said, "You are pregnant with the child now. It will be more useful to have this piece of blood jade with you."
This piece of glazed blood jade was a congratulatory gift from the envoys of Nanzhao when he first ascended the throne.
At that time, he saw that this piece of blood jade was transparent in color, and there seemed to be a flying fire dragon among the red flowing clouds inside. He liked it very much, so he kept wearing it.
Everything in the world, as long as it was what she wanted, he would give it to her with both hands, let alone a piece of blood jade.
Bo Liuzhi didn't delay too much. At worst, he could just hang it up again while he was sleeping.
Thinking of something, Bo Liuzhi said seriously, "Tuoba Yu, after thinking about it, I still feel a little worried about Nan Yue. She just lost her child, and Tuoba Rui is not a pleasant person. I'm worried that Nan Yue will be alone with her wild thoughts.
, do you think you can bring her into the palace, or can I leave the palace to stay with her for a while?"
"Are you leaving the palace?" Tuoba Yu frowned in displeasure, "Are you willing to leave your husband and me alone in the palace?"
"..." Bo Liuzhi held his awkward face. In fact, she couldn't bear to let him out of the palace, so she suggested, "How about bringing Nan Yue in? I will have someone to talk to when you have something to do.
Man, what do you think?"
Tuoba Yu was suspicious and looked at her with some distress, "It turns out that I was negligent."
There have been many court affairs recently, and it is common for him to discuss court affairs with Nan Jue and others for several hours.
He was worried about letting her out of his sight, so he let her stay in the palace while he was discussing court affairs in the outer palace.
Now that I think about it, he really neglected her.
And she is pregnant with a child now. If something happens to the child, things could be very serious.
Bo Liuzhi shook his head indifferently, "It's none of your business. Business is important."
Tuoba Yu felt sorry for her sensibleness and kissed her forehead pityingly, "I'll take you out for a walk after a while."
"Where are you going?" Bo Liuzhi's eyes lit up.
Because of the brightness in her eyes, Tuoba Yu's eyes darkened slightly, as if he was distressed, and his voice softened, "You can go wherever you want."
"Really?" Bo Liuzhi hugged his neck, "Then I want to go to Taoyuan Town. It is said that the villagers there are simple and have a lot of food and entertainment."
Tuoba Yu nodded, "It's up to you."
Bo Liuzhi happily kissed his handsome face several times.
Although it has been almost seven years since she arrived in the Dongling Dynasty.
But in the past six years, Qi Mujing had been a bit strict with her. If he didn't accompany her when she went out, she would have no choice but to go out secretly.
Sometimes she also wonders. She is already in her twenties, so there is no reason for her to be restrained when she goes out.
I also complained to Qi Mijing, but he just looked at her complicatedly and remained silent.
As soon as he fell silent, she felt helpless and never mentioned it again.
Therefore, she also wants to go out for a walk and see more. Life is not long, and she also wants to see the most scenery. Of course, she has to go with her beloved.
Tuoba Yu looked at her happy look, and felt a little deliberately reluctant but also felt satisfied.
If he can make her happy, he will be satisfied.
Therefore, she also hopes that the child in her belly will be a boy, so that before long, he can truly be carefree and live the life she wants.
"Ah!" Bo Liuzhi shouted, "I was almost so happy that I forgot. Tuoba Yu, will you agree to let Nan Yue enter the palace to recuperate?"
Tuoba Yu was a little embarrassed, "In other words, it is not convenient for me to interfere too much in Ninth Brother's housework. And I have been getting along with Ninth Brother since childhood. Ninth Brother's temperament seems modest and gentle to foreign ministers, but in fact he is stubborn and irritable. And it seems that
It turns out that Ninth Brother has a deep affection for Nan Yue, but he didn't notice it himself, or he already knew it, but just didn't want to admit it. If I forcefully bring Nan Yue into the palace, it may be counterproductive. "
Deeply affectionate?!
Bo Liuzhi curled his lips, wondering why she didn't see it.
But I can also understand his position.
Tuoba Rui is not only his minister, but also his ninth brother who has always helped him.
It seemed that she really couldn't ask him to do that, both emotionally and rationally.
But she was really worried about Nanyue.
Seeing her frown, Tuoba Yu knew that she was still insisting, and sighed, "In other words, the Ninth Brother you know is not everything he is..."
There is something in his words.
Bo Liuzhi looked at him doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
Tuoba Yu narrowed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about where to start. After a while, he said, "When Ninth Brother was eight years old, Ninth Brother's mother and concubine, in order to win favor, removed Ninth Brother with only his thin inner clothes.
He was soaked in ice water for a full three hours. When he was brought out, Ninth Brother's whole body was hard and he could only breathe his last breath. The imperial doctor spent a day and night rescuing Ninth Brother, so Ninth Brother was sick... It was not
It’s true, Brother Jiu’s heart disease started at that time.
It was very serious at first, even just walking around could kill Jiu Ge, but later he was kept under constant medication by Loulan Jun. Now he doesn't get it often, but when he gets it, if he doesn't take medicine in time, his life will be in danger at any time...
Ninth Brother has been smart since he was a child and is very favored by his father. When he found out that Ninth Brother was ill, he was very distressed, so he went to the palace of Ninth Brother's mother and concubine for half a month. Even Qin'er was pregnant at that time.
Up."
"..." Bo Liuzhi felt chilled after hearing this. How cruel must he be to be so cruel to his own child, "What happened next?"
"
Tuoba Yu glanced at her and continued, "Later, Ninth Brother's mother-in-law was very happy because her father's child was born again, so she came in and out of her palace more frequently. Ninth Brother's mother-in-law also tried her best to
She tried her best to keep her father. However, after Qin'er was born, her father went to her palace less and less.
Ninth Brother's mother-in-law was unwilling to give in, so she tried to repeat the same trick on the newly born Qin'er..."
Bo Liuzhi already wanted to curse when he heard this.
Is this still a human being?!
Tuoba Yu looked at her indignant little face in a funny way. Not only was it her, but one time he was naughty and disobeyed his mother, which almost made her cry.
When Grandma Huang found out, she told him, who was only five or six years old at the time, about the ninth brother, his mother, and his concubine.
Tell him that he is lucky to have such a selfless mother.
Perhaps he was also afraid of being put in ice water. From then on, he listened to his mother and became more and more dependent on her.
Bo Liuzhi clenched his fists and said, "What happened next? Did she succeed?"
Tuoba Yu nodded, "But it's not Qin'er, it's Ninth Brother. Ninth Brother loves his newly born sister very much. Knowing that his mother and concubine want to use Qin'er as a trick, he won't allow it. Qin'er is still so young.
, if he really had to be soaked in ice water for several hours, he would not be able to survive when he was taken out. So Ninth Brother volunteered and soaked in ice water for several hours again. His father had gone there that time, but there was already some damage.
I doubt it. Later, Ninth Brother’s mother-in-law used it twice more, but the effect was not as good as the first time. My father did go, but he didn’t stay in her palace for one night. Because at that time, my father fell in love with a woman.
..." When he said this, Tuoba Yu paused.
"Jiu Ge's mother-in-law went crazy and tried every means to attract the father's attention but failed, so she vented all her anger on Jiu Ge and blamed him for stopping her from using Qin'er to torture her.
Although Brother Jiu hated her, he also loved her. He was patient and took good care of Qin'er.
The harem is a place of right and wrong, and fire cannot be contained by paper. When my father found out, he was furious and sent Ninth Brother's mother and concubine into the cold palace. Even until her death, she did not feel that she had done anything wrong."
"..." After hearing this, Bo Liuzhi went from being angry at first to sighing at the end. He said that woman was ruthless, but she was also passionate. She might have given all her love to the man who could never truly belong to her.
.
"This matter has always been a knot in Brother Jiu's heart. Previously, Nanyue threatened Brother Jiu with the child in her belly and forced Brother Jiu to divorce her. I think I can understand Brother Jiu's anger." Tuoba Yu whispered in her ear.
A strand of hair was twisted around.
Bo Liuzhi leaned against Tuoba Yu, his eyes fell on the golden basin on the table, his eyes rolled, and suddenly he raised his head cleverly and bumped into Tuoba Yu's chin.
"Hmm..." Tuoba Yu groaned in pain and quickly put his hand on her head, dumbfounded, "Why, your head is made of stone?!"
Bo Liuzhi rubbed him apologetically, "Now that Nanyue has lost her child, Tuoba Rui won't do anything to Nanyue, right?"
"Brother Ninth is not a person who doesn't distinguish between black and white." Tuoba Yu explained calmly, "The death of Nanyue's child has nothing to do with Nanyue. He lost the child and Nanyue also lost it. He will not blame Nanyue harshly. On the contrary,
I think Brother Ninth feels very sorry for her, otherwise he wouldn’t have sent someone to the palace to let you go out to untie Nanyue, don’t you think so?!”
Bo Liuzhi frowned and thought for a while, and it seemed to make sense. She leaned on him again and said in a regretful tone, "Nanyue's child is five months old. She has long been accustomed to the child's existence and is even filled with joy.
I'm ready to welcome him, but it's a pity..."
Bo Liuzhi's voice was choked with sobs when he said the last part.
Tuoba Yu was alert and said hurriedly, "Oh no, don't cry!"
"..." Bo Liuzhi opened his mouth, tears already falling.
She didn't want to cry, but once her emotions came up, she couldn't hold them back easily.
Tuoba Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and had no choice but to hold him in his arms and coax him.
After she had finished crying, he put her on the couch and had someone prepare some hot water and apply a compress on her.
Next, she did not ask to take Nanyue into the palace. Privately, he did not want to interfere in Brother Ninth's family affairs.
Besides, this may be a good opportunity for Nanyue and Brother Jiu to settle their differences and start over again.
——————————————————————————————————————————————
After what happened with Tuoba Qin and Nan Yue, life became much calmer.
Tuoba Yu moved everything from Lanxin Palace to Yuxiu Palace.
When he had something to do, Bo Liuzhi would study hundreds of grains of soil and those rare knives and painting tools inside, and he felt less bored.
On this day, General Tuoba Yu had finished discussing court affairs with Tuoba Rui and others, and was about to go into the house to see the results of her work, when he was told that Aunt Su was asking for an audience.
Aunt Su was the personal attendant of Grandma Huang, so Tuoba Yu announced her entrance.
As soon as Nanny Su walked in, she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please go and see the Empress Dowager!"
Look at Grandma Huang?!
Tuoba Yu frowned and said, "Mother Su, get up and speak."
Aunt Su shook her head, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been ill since you left that day, but the Empress Dowager has refused to ask for a doctor. It has been more than half a month, and I really have no choice..."
Tuoba Yu's heart skipped a beat, and before she could finish speaking, he opened his clothes and walked out.
When Bo Liuzhi heard the voice, he could only see a section of his bright yellow clothes.
Nanny Su was startled by his speed. When she stood up, she caught sight of Bo Liuzhi standing at the door of the inner room. Her eyelids twitched slightly, then she lowered her head and bowed out.
Bo Liuzhi was still holding a piece of freshly made human skin in his hand, and his eyes gradually showed a hint of sadness as he looked at the entrance of the palace.————————————————————
————————————————————————————
Shouyang Palace.
Tuoba Yu rushed over anxiously.
When I saw the old man lying on the couch who seemed to have aged a few years, I felt guilty for a while.
Her cloudy eyes were tightly closed, her breathing was thin, her chest was rising and falling slightly, her gray hair on her temples was no longer as meticulous as before, and her cheeks were ridged and covered with wind and rain.
My heart felt like a handful of ice slag had been poured into it, and it hurt a little.
Tuoba Yu slowly sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to hold her hand, which had been worn out by time. It was a little cold. This coolness made him suddenly afraid, and he held her hand tighter.
Maybe it hurt a little from his hold.
The Empress Dowager slowly opened her somewhat gray eyes, which were no longer as sharp as before. She looked at Tuoba Yu weakly, and the corners of her mouth moved, as if she was still trying to calm down with him, and closed them again.
Eye.
Tuoba Yu felt a pang in his heart, and the corner of his mouth curved into a sinister arc just like when he saw her in the past, "Grandma Huang, why are you still acting like a child? Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to see you when you are sick?"
"..." The Queen Mother tilted her head.
The corner of Tuoba Yu's mouth raised slightly, "My grandson has announced that the imperial doctor will do it. If the imperial concubine doesn't speak, will the grandson ask the imperial physician to come in and diagnose the pulse of the imperial concubine?"
"..."
Tuoba Yu pursed his lips and glanced at Aunt Su.
Aunt Su nodded and stepped out.
After a while, Grandma Su came in with the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor respectfully was about to kneel down and salute, but Tuoba Yu stopped him with a wave of his hand.
Tuoba Yu stood up.
The imperial doctor then walked over, took out a silk handkerchief from the medicine box, placed it across the wrist of the Empress Dowager, and attached a finger to it.
After a moment, he took it back.
"What's wrong?" Tuoba Yu asked with a frown.
The imperial doctor stood up and lowered his head, "The Empress Dowager's chest is tight, she is short of breath and sweating..." After a pause, she asked carefully, "I dare to ask the Empress Dowager what is bothering her recently?"
Tuoba Yu's eyes widened and he squinted at the old man on the bed, his handsome face a little gloomy.
When he didn't hear the answer, the imperial doctor didn't dare to ask any more questions and said, "Wei Chen will prescribe a prescription for the Empress Dowager, which may be able to relieve the Empress Dowager's symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath."
Tuoba Yu nodded.
Then Nanny Su led the imperial doctor out again.
Tuoba Yu sat down again, pursed his lips and stared at the Empress Dowager in silence.
The person beside the bed neither moved nor spoke.
The Empress Dowager could not hold back any longer. She opened her eyes and looked at him. His heavy expression made her startled. The corners of her mouth sank slightly, "Emperor, Ai Jia is very old and can live one day at a time. The Emperor does not need to sacrifice for Ai Jia."
This old woman is so upset that the emperor can do whatever he wants, and the Ai family can't control it." His voice was already breathless, "The imperial doctor of the Ai family has also taken a look, please come back, emperor!"
"..." Tuoba Yu sighed, held her hand again, lowered his eyes on the back of her hand, and said quietly, "Grandma Huang, you don't want to see your grandson so much?"
The Empress Dowager snorted, "The emperor is right. Does it matter to the emperor whether the Ai family wants to see you or not?"
"..." Tuoba Yu was choked, and he leaned over and hugged her, "Grandma Huang is the most important person to my grandson, how can my grandson think that Grandma Huang is not important?!"
The Empress Dowager felt soft after being hugged by him, but her tone was still a little harsh, "Since the Aijia is the most important person to the emperor, then if the Aijia asks you to choose between the Aijia and that woman, the Aijia and she can only choose one.
,How to choose an emperor?!"
Tuoba Yu clicked his tongue in embarrassment, "How can Zhi Zhi be compared to Grandma Huang? If I had to choose, my grandson would definitely choose Grandma Huang..."
The Empress Dowager was startled, looked at him carefully, narrowed her eyes, "In this case, the Ai family wants you to send her out of the palace!"
Tuoba Yu laughed, "That's not possible!"
Not expecting him to answer so simply, the Empress Dowager was startled and then became angry, "Is the Emperor looking for happiness in the Ai family?!"
"..." Tuoba Yu looked like a fox with piercing eyes, "Grandma Huang, you can't send your grandson away."
"..." The Empress Dowager felt a suffocation in her chest. She sneered and pointed at the door, "In this case, the Ai family will have nothing to say to the Emperor. Let the Emperor go!"
"Grandma Huang!" Tuoba Yu grabbed her hand and stared at her with sincere and firm eyes, "Zhizhi is pregnant with her grandson's child. How can my grandson let her go?!"
"..."!!!
——————————————————————————————————————————————
Bo Liuzhi stood in Shouyang Hall, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
She waited for Tuoba Yu in Yuxiu Palace for a long time, but he never came back.
Instead, she was summoned to Shouyang Palace by the Empress Dowager.
I thought he would be here, but he wasn't.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager kept staring at her and did not speak for a long time, which made her feel very uneasy.
The Empress Dowager had redressed her body at this time. She was no longer weak and decadent as she was lying on the bed just now. Her eyes were as sharp as ever, silently expressing her solemnity and calmness.
As if she had seen enough of her, the Empress Dowager glanced at the screen behind her, and then turned her attention to Bo Liuzhi. Her voice was rich and straight to the point, "I heard that you are pregnant with the emperor's heir?!"
Bo Liuzhi's eyelids moved and he nodded slightly.
The Empress Dowager glanced at her belly and asked, "How old are you?"
"More than three months." Bo Liuzhi answered truthfully.
"Three months?" The Queen Mother sneered, seemingly casually, "Are you sure it's three months, not four months, five months?!"
Bo Liuzhi trembled all over, his back stiffened for a moment, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, his fists were clenched, his eyes were clear, and he looked at her fearlessly, "Liu Zhi doesn't understand what the Empress Dowager means! Please ask the Empress
