Early spring had just arrived, and the buds had not yet bloomed. Shu'er was walking alone in the pleasant garden. She saw that the hyacinths had broken out of the ground, the spring flowers were dotted with golden buds, and the peach blossoms and crabapples were no longer dead branches. She couldn't help but caress her belly gently.

, I don’t know when the baby in my belly will come to this world.

Since returning to the Song Dynasty, Shu'er has eaten well, slept well, and no longer felt dizzy or nauseous. She even occasionally doubted whether there was really a child in her belly. She originally wanted to go to the White Jade Palace to find a doctor outside.

He checked her pulse, but finally gave up, fearing that it was just a dream and adding to the feeling of loneliness and helplessness.

Calmly, I would rather hide my illness and avoid medical treatment and stubbornly believe that there is indeed our child in my belly than lose any trace of my involvement with you.

Calm, are you okay? I don't dare to inquire about your news, and I don't dare to tell anyone a word... But your life and death are just like the child in my belly, as if they are there or not.

I have always warned myself that not going to Yaowang Mountain to inquire about you is the best protection for you and your adoptive father. But under this blue sky and broad daylight, I have to face my heart calmly. In fact, it is like hiding a disease and avoiding treatment. I am afraid

I went to inquire, I was afraid that the news I would find out would be a lifetime of regrets and a lifetime of lovesickness.

I couldn't kill Liu. He thought I was just soft-hearted because of my childhood memories, but he didn't know that I was afraid of revenge. If I don't avenge you, you won't die.

Calmly, maybe your father, King Huai of Song, and I have the same problem. After the war between Chen and Song, he ascended the throne as King Zhao and never returned to Song in his life. I must have thought that the person who killed your mother was a member of the Qiao family of Song for many years.

power, not to mention that the Qiao family is his mother's clan, he can't take action, even if it is not related to him, he is afraid to face this deadly revenge. Because taking revenge is tantamount to admitting that his beloved has left him forever.

We left. But we didn’t see it with our own eyes, so we didn’t want to admit it and didn’t dare to face it.

But King Zhao is more relaxed than me. He has changed his identity and lived in a different place. Maybe the pain of lovesickness will slowly fade away. And what about me? I not only want to live in the White Jade Palace where we lived together

, I see things and think about people all day long, and I also wear silk clothes, making everyone think that I am already a widow...

Those people thought that I was living in Liu's palace to flatter their Highness the Song Dynasty. But besides myself, who else in the world knows the real reason why I stayed in Bumeng Pavilion? Bumeng Pavilion...that's me

After leaving the White Jade Palace when I was a child, Liu built it. There were no childhood memories of Liu and I, let alone memories of you and me. Only there could I find a bit of peace and feel less painful about seeing things and missing people.

…

Shu'er was twirling a winter jasmine bud in a daze when she heard a few delicate laughs behind her, like the spring breeze sweeping away bells and the spring rain beating rough jade. Shu'er looked back and saw the woman wearing pink clothes and smiling brightly, so

Said: "Ms. Ling is in a good mood, but because your husband deposed Queen Qiao at the court meeting today, she was thrown into the cold palace?"

Ling Zi smiled and said: "Sister Dongfang, you are so smart. However, you are only half right."

Shu'er's face was expressionless: "I'd like to hear the details."

Ling Zi also stretched out her hand to caress the begonia buds on the branches, and said calmly: "The other half, I am glad that my words could harm Qiao to such a situation. When His Highness made her your queen, I

I thought that the higher she climbed, the worse she would fall. Unexpectedly, her fall today was without any warning, and it could be said to be even more miserable. And her fall today, if calculated carefully, was due to

Sister Dongfang, you."

Shu'er nodded and said, "I always appreciate credit and accept credit."

Ling Zi pretended to be mysterious: "Sister Dongfang, I am your savior. Are you willing to repay kindness? "

Shu'er was puzzled: "When did Sister Ling save me? How come I didn't know anything about it?"

Ling Zi replied: "When you were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, Qiao pretended to pass the imperial edict to General Lu Hui, allowing him to use the torture in the Heavenly Prison on you. If I hadn't happened to meet the informant for her,

Palace man, if I had not reported this matter to His Highness in time, Your Highness would not have run to save you. Without me, you would have died in the sky prison long ago. Do you think I have helped you in saving your life?"

Shu'er cupped her fists and saluted Ling Zi: "Thank you very much, Sister Ling, for your rescue. I wonder how I can repay you?"

Ling Zi suppressed her smile and said to Shu'er: "I don't ask for much, I just ask you to move out of Bumeng Pavilion and stop torturing His Highness day and night. I can see that you don't love me at all.

Him. You just want to remind him in front of him every day that he killed your husband and you can take his life at any time.

My cousin has told me the heartfelt words His Highness said at the court meeting today. In fact, Your Highness is a poor man. He is pure and kind in nature, but because of his position, he has to do those treacherous and evil things for the Song Dynasty. You sons

There is a brother-sister relationship, His Highness has shown you life-saving grace, and he is the father of your unborn child. You should stop torturing him like this."

Shu'er pretended to be confused: "How does sister Ling know that I don't love your husband?"

Although Ling Zi looks sweet, she has a sad look on her face at this moment: "Sister Dongfang, haven't you ever loved King Qi? Don't you know what love is? If you really love His Highness, you will do it for another one every day.

A man is dressed in plain clothes, but he appears in front of His Highness all the time, instructing him to cook for you?"

Shu'er said coldly: "Then tell me, what is love?"

Ling Zi sighed, thought sadly for a moment, and then smiled: "If a woman really loves a man, she will ask for very little and be content with what she has. She doesn't ask for his warmth, nor blames him for being indifferent. She just wants to be with him not far away."

She is not near and stays with him for a long time. Even if he loves someone else or even has a child with someone else, this woman will love her so much that she will save the person he loves without hurting their child."

Shu'er couldn't help but pity this delicate little woman, and said in a gentle tone: "Are you the one who loves the house and the bird?"

Ling Zi nodded. "Sister Dongfang, His Highness treats you just like he treats the Song Dynasty, trusting each other with his life, even regardless of moral integrity, propriety, justice and shame. Since you can't kill him with one sword, why bother to avenge the King of Qi?

Torturing him with all your heart? For the rest of your life, if you love, you love, if you don't love, you don't love. If you hate, you will kill. If you can't do it, you should put it down in time. For others and yourself, the sea and the sky are bright."

Shu'er pretended to be disdainful and said: "If you are really the kind of person who loves houses and birds, why are you so happy after Liu Fei's death?"
