assassin

Chapter 13 Chapter 3

A clump of morning glory winds around the bamboo fence, and a few chickens are clucking and pecking at the mud.The yellow dog raised since he was a child is now old, and he is lying under the peach blossom tree with his arms and legs stretched out.

"Ziqin, what are you doing sitting at the door again?" Mother wiped her hands with the hem of her skirt, complaining in her tone.

"Mother, I always feel that someone is coming." Fu Ziqin stood up and looked at the peach blossoms in the courtyard.

The mother glanced outside and said, "Who wants to come?"

Fu Ziqin frowned and thought hard, but couldn't figure it out.

"I think you are thinking of spring," the mother said bluntly, "All the brothers and sisters in the family are married, and you are the only one left. I don't know how to let my parents worry about it."

"Mother," Fu Ziqin dragged his voice in displeasure, "I haven't met a girl I like yet."

"You, you," the mother pointed at him resentfully, "It's okay to marry a man if you don't meet a girl, and let your parents embrace their grandson as soon as possible."

"I already have a child!" Fu Ziqin blurted out.

"Have a child?" The mother asked in surprise, "With whom?"

Who?

Fu Ziqin was startled, and unconsciously caressed her flat belly.

When the mother saw it, she immediately stepped forward and asked incredulously, "Are you pregnant? Whose child is it?"

"Whose..." Fu Ziqin tried to recall with his hands in his hair, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in his head, "I... don't know..."

"I don't know?!" His mother turned pale with shock, pulled him and asked anxiously, "Did you get bullied? Ah? Did you get bullied?!"

Fu Ziqin's head was so painful that his scalp was about to split, and he knelt on the ground and cried heart-piercingly.

"Ziqin! Ziqin!" The mother screamed and supported him, and yelled hoarsely toward the back room: "His father! Come out soon, something happened to Ziqin!"

Fu Ziqin didn't know why his heart hurt like a knife, but he only knew that there were some things that should never be remembered.

"Fu Ziqin! Fu Ziqin!" A wolf-like roar came from outside the fence.

The yellow dog under the peach blossom tree woke up suddenly and trotted into the house.Fu Ziqin let go of his hand and looked into the distance with his eyes in a trance.

"Fu Ziqin! If you dare to die like this, I will kill the entire palace! Kill Li Xifan! Kill Cheng Yuting! Kill everyone in Taoyuan!" The voice got closer, and in the fury With some urgency.

Fu Ziqin got up in a daze and wanted to walk out of the fence, but was suddenly pulled back by his father, "Ziqin, I can't go!"

Fu Ziqin looked at his father and stood there blankly.

"And Si Huaning! If you die, I want Si Huaning to be buried with you!" The tone was so sharp that it broke.

Fu Ziqin's head seemed to split open suddenly, and all the discarded memories penetrated into his mind.

Hua Ning...his children...his children!

The mother hugged Fu Ziqin who was about to take a step, her voice was full of pleading, "Don't take revenge, don't think about anything! Son! Mother only wants you to be happy!"

Fu Ziqin turned around and looked at the still young faces of his parents, "But father, mother, older brothers and sisters, and younger sister, you are no longer by my side..."

His mother loosened his arms, and beyond the fence, there was a Taoyuan where the fire was extinguished and the smoke disappeared, and the corpses were strewn all over the field.

Fu Ziqin turned his head, ignored his parents' yelling, and walked towards the endless abyss step by step.

Fu Ziqin suddenly opened his eyes and coughed profusely.

The anxious imperial doctor finally stopped, and Si Lixiao stared at him with livid faces.

Fu Ziqin immediately reached out and touched his belly, there was still a slight beating under the bulging flesh.

Fu Ziqin breathed a sigh of relief just now, but was suddenly slapped hard on the face.

Si Lixiao's right hand was still hanging in mid-air, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Fu Ziqin, you are cruel enough! Children don't just want to die!"

"Si Lixiao, why do you need to save me?" Fu Ziqin covered his burning cheeks, he wanted to torture each other even though he hated so much, Si Lixiao didn't understand what love was at all.

"Who made you die? Who allowed you to die?!" Si Lixiao's eyes were bloodshot, "When you give birth to a prince, I will give you poisonous wine and white silk!"

To Si Lixiao, Bai Ling, the poisoned wine, was already showing great kindness.

Looking at the white gauze bed curtain, Fu Ziqin smiled slowly.

"The child is more than eight months old now. If you want to, just cut open my stomach." Fu Ziqin said flatly.

Si Lixiao was furious, he drew the sword from the waist of the guard beside him and slashed towards the bed.

"Your Majesty, no!" Doctor Qian hurriedly stood in front of him.

"Get out!" Si Lixiao yelled with red eyes.

"Your Majesty," Imperial Physician Qian knelt on the ground and said, "I don't know if this sword will hurt the prince. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Si Lixiao panted violently, staring at Fu Ziqin.

"Your Majesty!" Doctor Qian kowtowed again.

Only then did Si Lixiao throw away the sword, and said coldly: "Tie this person to the couch, and never allow him to seek death without my permission!"

"Yes." Several guards stepped forward immediately, and tied Fu Ziqin's hands and feet firmly with cloth strips.

Fu Ziqin didn't struggle at all, but the smile in his eyes slowly turned hollow.

Si Lixiao glanced at Fu Ziqin angrily, then turned and walked out of the smelly room.

The restless hearts of the guards and physicians finally fell to the ground, and they scattered to do their own business.

Physician Qian came to the side of the bed and said, "Madam, why are you so pessimistic?"

Fu Ziqin hooked the corner of his mouth, once all his hopes were shattered, how should he see it?

"Thank you, Doctor Qian, for saving me." No matter what, Fu Ziqin replied.

Physician Qian sighed, "If it wasn't for the amazing will of the empress, I would have nothing to do."

Will?

Fu Ziqin looked at the bulge on his abdomen, but found that his clothes were covered with black blood.

"After taking the medicine, my mother broke her blood, and the little prince was almost lost." Doctor Qian explained in a low voice.

Fu Ziqin was startled, and couldn't help being afraid.

The blood stains have gradually congealed, making people very uncomfortable.

"Doctor Qian, can I change my clothes?" Fu Ziqin asked, moving his bound hands.

Doctor Qian glanced at the guards, but no one dared to agree.

After a while, the closed door opened again, Yufeng entered the room carrying a bowl of white porridge, and Si Lixiao followed.

"Your Majesty, please use some porridge." Yufeng knelt down and lifted the tray above her head.

Fu Ziqin glanced at Si Lixiao, and saw the man looking at him with a dark expression.

"How can I drink porridge like this?" Fu Ziqin asked.

"Help Concubine Qin to sit up." After Si Lixiao finished speaking, he sat on the wooden bench opposite the bed.

The guard immediately helped Fu Ziqin to sit up carefully, Yufeng also stood up, and fed the porridge into Fu Ziqin's mouth in small mouthfuls.

From the beginning to the end, Si Lixiao watched silently, and immediately went out after feeding the porridge and jade, and the guards also put Fu Ziqin to lie down.

"Si Lixiao." Fu Ziqin shouted.

All the palace people were scared to death, and they stared at the emperor silently.

Si Lixiao's expression didn't change much, and he responded coolly.

"I've got too much blood on my body, I want to change clothes." Fu Ziqin said.

Si Lixiao squinted at him, and after a while he called out, "Come here."

Yufeng walked in quickly again.

"Change clothes for Concubine Qin." Si Lixiao paused, and then said, "Get water for him to wipe."

"Yes." Yufeng blessed Fushen and retreated.

"Being so kind to me, what do you want to get out of it?" Fu Ziqin sneered.

"Is there anything else on you worthy of my trap?" Si Lixiao said coldly.

Fu Ziqin raised his eyebrows, but did not answer.

Yu Fen quickly brought the hot water over, and Si Lixiao immediately waved away all the imperial doctors and guards, watching as Yu Fen struggled to untie the cloth strips from Fu Ziqin's hands and feet.

Fu Ziqin moved his wrist to get up, but was killed by Si Lixiao's look.

"How can I wipe myself if I don't sit up?" Fu Ziqin looked indifferently, "Could it be that you can't even beat someone who is eight months pregnant?"

Si Lixiao snorted and raised his head towards him.

Only then did Fu Ziqin sit up slowly with the support of Yufeng, and took off his blood-stained clothes.

Si Lixiao glanced at the bloody coat thrown on the ground, then moved his eyes back to Fu Ziqin.The child who just went through life and death is now a lot more peaceful, but the arc of the arch has not changed.Yufeng silently wiped off the blood on Fu Ziqin's body with a brocade handkerchief, her eyes full of worry and distress.

Another basin of hot water was changed to thoroughly wash Fu Ziqin's body. Yufeng went to the emperor and his master to bless each other, and then left with the basin.

Si Lixiao walked to the side of the couch, picked up the cloth strips and tied Fu Ziqin up again.Probably because his hands were a little heavier, Fu Ziqin couldn't help but wrinkle his face.

After tying it up, Si Lixiao gasped slightly and took a few steps back.

Fu Ziqin slowly leaned his head against the pillow, and lay down on his own.

Si Lixiao looked at him, then sat back on the wooden bench facing the bed.

After a while, Fu Ziqin asked: "Your Majesty, have you seen enough?"

Si Lixiao's face was pulled down, and his expression was quite unhappy.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will give birth to this child." Fu Ziqin looked at the curtain on the top of the couch.

Si Lixiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice changed back to a yin and yang tone, "My concubine survived a catastrophe, and she became so obedient?"

"Even if I don't want to be obedient, there is nothing I can do." Fu Ziqin raised Yang's tied wrists.

The temptation in Si Lixiao's eyes was buried in the bottom of his eyes, and he put his hand on a few cases beside him.

Seeing that he was still unwilling to go back, Fu Ziqin simply closed his eyes.

It seems that Si Lixiao will never give up until he gets a child, but he is sitting on the world, and there will be three thousand beauties in the harem in a few years, why do he value an unborn child so much?And before Si Lixiao said more than once that he would make this child the crown prince, let's put aside whether it is true or not, at least it proves that the child must be born in his heart.

Fu Ziqin moved his eyes. He, an enemy who betrayed him twice and knew nothing about King Kangnan's plan, must not be of much use. Could it be that... Si Lixiao really loves children?

Laughing to himself, Fu Ziqin turned his head towards the wall.

No matter what the reason was, he had to try to keep Hua Ning and the child, as well as Li Xifan and the Taoyuan clan.His life was the same as before the assassination, he was single-minded and only lived for revenge.
