Chapter 832: A piece of tenderness
Meng Chun threw the talisman paper on Qing Changan's face, "Our eldest lady said that if there is an afterlife, she will never fall in love with you again!"
Ada shouted, "How dare you!"
Meng Chunhui glared at Ada, then looked at Qing Changan, "If you really care about our relationship, please take care of Duke Xie's mansion." Then he rushed towards the pillar, blood splattered on the spot.
Ada didn't react at all, and it was too late to stop it.
Qing Changan was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He looked at the tragic scene of Xie Ying being strangled to death by a rope, and then looked at Mingzhu's determination to follow him with her life.
What has he done?
He could only hug Xie Ying and cry, unable to even make a sound -
The court doctor came forward to examine him, and then said, "He can't be saved."
Looking at the twitching Mengchun, Ada looked at Qing Changan, "Sir, give her a quick death."
Qing Chang'an didn't say anything, but he only remembered what Mingzhu said: if there is an afterlife, Aying said she would never fall in love with him again...
Ada drew out his sword and pressed it against Mingzhu's neck. Mingzhu blinked her eyes and smiled, "Miss, I am here to accompany you..."
Ada frowned, closed his eyes, raised his sword and swung it down, and Mingzhu's body stopped twitching.
The blood splattered and hurt Qing Changan's eyes.
"Aying!!!"
Qing Chang'an woke up from his dream with a start. The dim yellow candlelight was flickering, and it seemed that wind was blowing in from the gap in the window.
He was breathing heavily.
Then he found that he was holding the talisman paper wrapped in hair tightly in his hand. The hair belonged to Aying.
The dream he just had was so strange.
How could it be possible that after he got Aying, he would stop loving her and fall in love with Mengchun just because she couldn't have children?
Absolutely ridiculous!
"Someone is coming."
Qing Changan called out, and another servant came in, "Sir."
He just remembered that he had punished Ada severely today. "Tell the court doctor to take good care of Ada and cure him as soon as possible."
"It's an adult."
"Also, bring some hot water. I need to take a shower and change my clothes."
"It's an adult."
This night is too long, too long——
Qing Chang'an finished washing up, and the servants changed the bed sheets and quilt covers.
He held the talisman paper in his hand. It was not like he had not dreamed of Aying before, but he had never dreamed of her like this before. It seemed as if he had dreamed of her for half his life.
The dream was so real, the only difference was that the emperor in the dream did not seem to be Xiao Lusheng, nor was he an empress, but Xiao Yu, the former prince of Pingxi, and the empress was Su Yuxi from General Su's mansion.
However, Huainan King Xiao Lusheng had no children in his life, but he insisted on fighting for the position. In the end, he was defeated and was tortured to death by having his bones removed.
Just thinking about it, Qing Changan felt weird.
How can there be such a coherent and complete dream?
Fortunately, it was just a dream, otherwise, in the dream, he would have felt so at ease that he even thought it was Aying's fault that he couldn't have children, and even had three children with Mengchun.
This is completely different from the gender equality advocated by the current emperor. He——
If the current emperor were a man, not a empress, and there were no promotion and policies for gender equality, would he still feel this way?
He would, because he loves Aying.
But what if Aying can’t have children?
Qing Chang'an didn't dare to think about it. In the dream, his choice was forced. In reality, if Aying could change his mind, he would be willing to do so even if it meant he would have no children or grandchildren!
Qing Chang'an stood up, placed the talisman paper in a wooden box, and then lay back down on the bed.
----
"Husband..."
Xie Ying murmured, "Husband."
At first, Xiao Chen thought it was nothing, but later he couldn't help wondering, who was she dreaming about and who was she calling husband?
After dawn.
The kitchen brought more medicine, and Mingzhu knocked on the door, "Your Majesty, the medicine is here."
"Come in."
Mingzhu walked in front with the medicine, followed by a servant holding a tray with this morning's breakfast on it.
"Go down."
"Yes."
After Mingzhu and the servant went down.
Xiao Chen fed him the rice soup little by little, and after feeding him the rice soup, he continued to feed him the medicine.
After feeding, Xiao Chen felt that his mouth was numb.
However, seeing her cheeks gradually regain their rosy color, he felt relieved, "Aying, please wake up soon. I will grant you whatever you want."
"Husband, you said that we should be together for the rest of our lives." Xie Ying's weak voice sounded, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
But when she saw the person in front of her clearly, she retracted her hand in fear.
Who is this?
Xie Ying was confused. Where was this room?
"Aying, it's me." Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Why did she look like she didn't know him?
Xie Ying looked at Xiao Chen, his mind was a little confused, but he gradually came back to his senses, "Your Majesty."
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "You scared me to death." He thought she had forgotten him.
Xie Ying looked at Xiao Chen, then looked at the room. The candles were arranged to form the eye of a yin-yang formation, and the young man was sitting on a stool in front of the bed, looking at her anxiously.
Where is she?
"This is Prince Chen's Palace." Xiao Chen said.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside and someone shouted, "The imperial edict has arrived."
"Imperial edict?" Then it's time to get up and receive the imperial edict.
"Lie down and rest." Xiao Chen said, then he stood up and opened the door.
"Your Highness, the imperial decree granting marriage has arrived." Tang An said.
"Miss Xie is awake, so come in and announce the decree."
"Miss, are you awake?"
"Miss Xie is awake?"
Mingzhu was so happy that she ran straight into the house. Tang An also felt comforted, "That's great. I will go back later so that I can give an explanation to the emperor."
Xiao Chen nodded.
So he turned and went into the house.
Mingzhu knelt in front of the bed, holding Xie Ying's hand and crying, "That's great, that's great, the eldest lady finally woke up, I was scared to death, I will go tell Xie Zheng and the second lady later--"
Xie Ying stroked Mingzhu's head.
Seeing Xiao Chen, Tang An and others coming in, he quickly got out of bed.
Xiao Chen pushed the man back in one move, "Just accept the order on the bed."
Having said that, Xiao Chen knelt down in the direction of Tang An.
Seeing this, Mingzhu had no choice but to kneel down as well.
Tang An read out the imperial edict, which roughly said that the prince was of a good age, and she was kind and virtuous, and that they were a perfect match made in heaven, so the marriage was specially granted for them, and they would get married on an auspicious day.
"I accept the order." Xiao Chen took the imperial edict with both hands.
Tang An smiled and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness Prince Chen and Miss Xie."
Xie Ying found it difficult to laugh. The dream she had was an unforgettable dream. Every day after their marriage, Qing Changan took care of her meticulously. The dream was too real, so real to this day that deep in her heart, she still felt tenderness and affection for Qing Changan.
"Miss, that's great, Miss." Mingzhu cried and laughed at the same time.
Xie Ying really had an indescribable feeling. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. In her dream, she and Qing Chang'an were married, and the gentle and tender warmth of the dream still remained in her heart.
"Go down." Xiao Chen said.
Mingzhu quickly wiped her tears and said, "Miss, I will go and inform the Second Miss and Xie Zheng first."
