Chapter 342 Rebirth and Awakening: The Enemy of the Heroine in This Life 9
Princess House.
He Qingwan woke up slowly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Madam Zhao sitting beside her bed and crying. Her eyes were haggard, and had lost their usual brilliance. When she saw Madam Zhao sitting beside her bed, she immediately shed tears of grievance.
"Mother, my child..." Her voice was hoarse due to weakness, as if every word she said had exhausted all her strength.
Seeing He Qingwan's current state, Mrs. Zhao felt heartbroken. Facing He Qingwan's questions, she didn't know how to answer. She turned away and didn't look at He Qingwan. She just held her cold hand tightly and comforted her softly, "There will be children again..."
Mrs. Zhao's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back for He Qingwan. The grief in her heart surged like a tide, and He Qingwan seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant. She lay there, letting the tears silently flow down her face.
"Zhao Zhao..." Mrs. Zhao was very sad to see her daughter like this. She could no longer suppress her heartache and sobbed softly.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. Their cries were so miserable, like the cry of a cuckoo, heartbreaking, and could be heard outside the house through the closed doors and windows.
Outside the house, the emperor was sitting there, with Prince Xuan and Xie Lingyun standing on his left and right. Hearing the sad crying, his thoughts were brought back to the day twelve years ago when his first wife, Empress Gongsun, passed away.
It was also a chilly spring day when he lost his beloved and his unborn child.
The crying was so mournful that King Xuan's heart was clenched into a ball, as if it was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, causing him great pain.
Xie Lingyun's face was full of self-blame. He knew how much He Qingwan valued this child, so he couldn't imagine how painful it would be for He Qingwan to lose his child.
Blame him, it's all his fault. If he hadn't left just now, if he had been with He Qingwan just now...
The emperor took a deep breath, stood up, straightened his robe, and pushed the door open. Seeing the mother and daughter hugging and crying beside the bed, his heart couldn't help but feel sour.
"Zhao Zhao, I'm here to see you." The emperor walked to the bedside, trying to speak as gently as possible.
He Qingwan raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor. Her eyes were red with tears in them. She stammered for a long time but could not utter a word. She could only lower her head silently.
Madam Zhao stood up reluctantly and walked to the side, bowing to the emperor. The emperor waved his hand to exempt her from the ceremony and sat in her previous seat.
He pulled out a jade pendant from his sleeve. It was made of top-quality white jade. "This was a tribute from the Western Regions a few years ago. It calms the mind and nourishes the body. I've worn it for a few years and it really has miraculous effects. Here, take it."
He Qingwan's hands were sore and weak, but she still tried her best to take it. She choked up and said, "Thank you, uncle..."
The emperor was touched, and rarely showed his emotions. Sadness fell into his eyes, "Zhao Zhao..."
He said, "Your health is important."
This sentence seemed to turn on a switch, and He Qingwan's tears flowed even more violently. She threw off the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, but was held down by the emperor. "You are not well yet, what are you going to do by getting out of bed?"
He Qingwan shook her head and burst into tears.
"Uncle... the imperial physician said that I accidentally took a miscarriage drug, but the only people in this mansion are me and the people you sent."
She looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, "Xie Lingyun is the only outsider."
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's expression changed.
He Qingwan was right. Except for the people she brought with her, the rest of the people in the princess's mansion were arranged by him. He didn't do anything, and the He family didn't do anything either, so it was only Xie Lingyun.
But the question is why? He didn't think his loyal subjects would be so cruel as to kill their own children.
"Uncle, Zhao Zhao is tired, and Zhao Zhao is also scared. It really hurts just now..." He Qingwan put her head close to the emperor's big hand like a child. The emperor was startled by the coldness of her forehead. Soon, his palm was moistened by warm liquid, and the emperor couldn't help but soften his heart again.
"Zhao Zhao, what do you want?"
……
Outside the house, Prince Xuan and Xie Lingyun stood side by side, waiting for the emperor's summons. The emperor did not summon them, but Madam Zhao came out instead.
Xie Lingyun wanted to inquire about the situation, but was given a cold look by Mrs. Zhao.
Regardless of the family's standpoint or He Qingwan's current situation, Mrs. Zhao hated Xie Lingyun.
Seeing this, King Xuan stepped forward and bowed, "Aunt, I wonder how my cousin is doing now?"
Seeing that it was King Xuan and the other party was so polite, Madam Zhao's expression eased a little. She said sadly, "I can't explain it clearly. I will explain it to you in detail after the imperial physician comes out."
King Xuan didn't want to continue to argue, so he just moved aside and made way.
Inside the room, the emperor frowned. He didn't expect He Qingwan would want such a thing.
He couldn't help but ask again, "Zhao Zhao, are you sure?"
He Qingwan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were firm, "I'm sure. Uncle, I want a divorce. He can abandon me who is pregnant for his sister today, and he may abandon me for his sister tomorrow..."
"Alright, alright." The emperor stopped He Qingwan from saying the unpleasant words in time.
He reprimanded her in a gentle tone, "You are not well yet, don't say those unlucky words."
He Qingwan looked at the emperor seriously, "Because my uncle is by Zhao Zhao's side, Zhao Zhao is not afraid. My uncle is the true dragon emperor, and Zhao Zhao will also benefit from being by my uncle's side."
This sentence praised the emperor very much.
He lowered his eyes and thought about the pros and cons, and when he found it was harmless, he agreed halfway.
As for the other half...
"I still need to inform Buyi about this matter." The emperor stood up, "You rest for a while, I will go out and discuss it with Buyi first."
He Qingwan stubbornly grabbed the emperor's sleeve and said, "No, uncle, please let Xie Lingyun in. You value talents, what if he says a few good words and you feel sorry for him!"
Cherish and love talents...
The emperor was flattered again.
He looked at He Qingwan with a smile on his face, "How can I not know right from wrong? Now the one I pity the most is you."
He Qingwan still refused to give in and pulled the emperor, "No matter what, uncle, don't leave. Zhao Zhao is afraid to stay here alone!"
The emperor did not dare to move, for fear of pulling He Qingwan. He sat back helplessly and asked the eunuch beside him to go outside and call for help.
After the eunuch left, he looked at He Qingwan, whose face had turned even paler, and spoke with a harsh tone, "I really spoiled you too much."
He Qingwan was so angry at him that tears unconsciously welled up in his eyes.
The emperor realized that the situation was serious and tried to comfort him, "You haven't recovered yet, but you're still holding my sleeves tightly. Do you feel pain now?"
He Qingwan choked up, "It hurts..."
The emperor waved his hand and called the imperial physician, "Go check Zhaoyang."
The imperial physician bowed and said, "As you wish."
