C299 The Curse of Tat Tap

Hua Rong described the actions of Qin Gui and Wang Junhua's husband and wife that she saw in Jinguo when she sent an envoy to the Jinguo. Li Yian was shocked and angry at the same time. She never thought that his cousin would be so shameless. In the past, he was only the fierceness of the famous family. But now, he was actually a shameless woman.

She was even more uneasy. Since Qin Gui had found out about their secret, how could she be willing to let him go? When it came to scheming, Hua Rong and her wife were naturally far from being a match for Qin Gui and the others.

Hua Rong saw that she was worried for him, and laughed: "Now that Penga has been released, we can only wait for the Northern Slash to succeed. The two of us will return to the mountain forest and leave as soon as possible."

Li Yian nodded, praising the two of them for being so young, to already have such thoughts, it was extremely difficult.

Li Yian smiled and said: "Since that's the case, with the departure coming soon, we might as well drink heartily today."

She had quite a bit of tolerance for alcohol, and even Hua Rong, who normally did not drink much, was infected by her and happily drank a few cups of wine.

After eating their fill and everyone went to bed, Hua Rong quietly said to her husband, "Go and rest first, I will have a few words with Imigenol."

Yue Pengju saw his wife's excited expression and nodded: "Ok."

Hua Rong then escorted Li Yian to the guest room.

She admired Li Yian. Although they hadn't interacted for a long time, they became like friends at first sight and they already had deep feelings for each other. Li Yian saw the words on the desk, and praised: "old body had originally suspected that Yue Xiang Gong was a martial general, and was extremely talented in martial arts, but now that you have written it, I know that you and your wife are extremely compatible."

When Hua Rong heard this, his heart ached.

Who was Li Yian, but seeing that her eyes were slightly red, he was surprised, and whispered: "Madame Yue, what is this?"

Hua Rong closed the door, then sat down and let out a long sigh: "Jushi, there is an extremely great confusion in my heart, and I would like to seek your guidance."

"Feel free to speak."

The two of them sat side by side, Hua Rong didn't know how to reply. She had made a great deal of decision to consult Li Yian. She firmly believed that there shouldn't be a third person in the marriage, so regardless of whether it was the empress dowager or Tian Wei's persuasion, even if it made her waver a little, she still couldn't make up her mind. Only Li Yian was the person she admired the most in her entire life, and she was the number one female scholar in all of history. Hua Rong firmly believed that her view of marriage definitely exceeded that of ordinary women.

Li Yian saw her mournful expression, making her originally heroic looking eyebrows show signs of sadness, making her look very pitiful. She sighed and took her hand without urging.

Feeling the warmth from her withered and emaciated hands that held her, Hua Rong slowly opened her mouth as she said in a slow voice, "I suffered a serious injury once, and after I recovered, the doctors said that I can't give birth anymore …."

Li Yian was shocked. She naturally understood what it meant to be unable to have children.

She did not answer, but turned Hua Rong's hand over and felt her pulse. Only then did she say: "old body had read many medical books back then, and after all these years, she had some medical knowledge. However, your pulse is normal, and it's not as if you're pregnant …."

Hua Rong laughed miserably, shaking her head: "I was unintentionally injured by someone, and had to eat Lingzhi and tiger bones for a year before I was able to struggle and preserve my life. Perhaps, it was because of this that her meridians could not be seen. But whether it's the Jinguo's witch doctors or the palace's Medical Officer Wang Jixian, both of them determined that I have no more children … "

Li Yian was a little disapproving: "I am not too sure about the medicine man. But Wang Jixian, other than treating impotence, was not proficient in other aspects. How can his words be true? "

In fact, Hua Rong did not think much of Wang Jixian's medical skills. An obvious fact was that Zhao Deji's only son was born lacking in strength and his body was weak in health. Until now, Wang Jixian and the others still could not come up with any effective method. Especially since she had personally witnessed Miao Liujun's transformation, she was worried that this child wouldn't be able to live for long. However, she naturally did not dare to say those words out loud.

Seeing that she had remained silent, Li Yian consoled his, "If you are seriously injured, even after you have recovered, you will still need some time to recuperate. "I can't wait to have a child. I have no idea which day the immortal child will come knocking …"

Hua Rong shook her head sadly: "I'm 28 years old now. There's probably no hope left. "

In ancient times, due to the restriction of living conditions, women were considered to be in their middle age at the age of 30. Many women were already in menopause at the age of 30. Hearing her words, Li Yian started to worry.

She also could not think of how to comfort Hua Rong, so Hua Rong slowly opened her mouth and said, "When I entered the palace today, the empress dowager and the others all wanted me to allow Pengju to take in concubines and pass on their generations. You, Jushi, tell me, what should I do?"

Li Yian's body trembled, he slowly let go of her hand and leaned his back against the chair, his eyes closed, as though he was deep in thought.

Hua Rong was shocked, only then did she close her eyes, and two streams of tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.

She didn't know why Li Yian was sad, but she didn't dare speak and only stared blankly at her grizzled hair. In her early years, she had heard of Li Yian's famous name numerous times, and he had even seen his portraits that were spread far and wide. Not only was Li Yian famous, even her beauty was worthy of the title of number one beauty. He could really be said to be a beauty that could topple cities and topple cities. Her hair was loose now, almost too sparse to comb.

Streams of light could easily throw people away. How could a beauty of her generation overcome the sorrows of time and destiny?

Both of them had their own thoughts, so the room was strangely quiet.

After a long while, Li Yian finally opened his eyes and slowly spoke: "I'll be marrying the young master of the Zhao Family at the best age possible. After the marriage, the couple were harmonious, like-minded and very loving. But because I was weak, I never gave birth. At the time, my situation was different from yours. The Zhao Family was a powerful family, and my father was once the Prime Minister. "Although my husband is unwilling, I can't stop him from trying my best to force him to accept me as his concubine …" She laughed bitterly, "Everyone says that I am the number one talented girl in the world, but I simply cannot decide my own fate for women. Even I could only stare helplessly at my husband and concubine, not daring to reveal the slightest bit of dissatisfaction … However, there was a time when her husband was about to get married. Watching him enter a girl's room every day from the evening, the next day was filled with smiles. That kind of feeling was even worse than stabbing needles … "

Hua Rong felt her palm turn cold, she could not continue speaking.

Li Yian slowly sat up, "The old body is weak and has no children. But so what? Look at the tens of thousands of people in my Da Song. Even if there is a strong incense burning in the air, how many are left today? Even if it was the Zhaojiaji, when Jingkang was in trouble, where were the several dozen princes and princes? Raising a child to guard against old age was not as good as raising a strong and powerful country. "Under the invasion of the prisoners, how many sons managed to protect their parents?"

Hua Rong's tears flowed out immediately. She only took the kernels and wiped it clean with all her might.

Li Yian reached out and grabbed her hand, "What does this Yue Xiang Gong mean about taking in concubines?"

She honestly said: "Pengju once vowed not to split his wife. He didn't mean to. "

"That's good. I have been observing his words and actions these days and have taken a great deal of interest in you. If he himself is willing to take a concubine, you might as well relax your attitude; if he is unwilling, why should a woman be too sorry for herself? "

Hua Rong was enlightened, and she finally smiled: "Thank you Imigenol for your guidance."

Li Yian then laughed: "Tomorrow morning, you will have to depart, go rest, Yue Xiang Gong is still waiting for you."

Hua Rong hugged her shoulders. She was extremely excited but at the same time, feeling relaxed. After conversing with her for a bit, the two of them bade farewell.

Returning back to her bedroom, Hua Rong tiptoed. Under the light of the lamp, his husband was still sitting on his chair, reading a book.

She quietly went forward to cover his eyes. Yue Pengju put down the book, extended his hand to grab hold of his wife's hand, and laughed: "Sister Shi Qi, I'm tired. I'm waiting for you to rest."

He turned around and carried his wife to bed. Because of the wounds he had sustained, he had recovered a bit. On this night, the two of them loved each other as if they had been together for a long time.

Just as she was about to fall asleep with satisfaction, Hua Rong intertwined her fingers with him and gently asked: "Pengju, what a pity that Wen Long'er isn't around …"

Yue Pengju also sighed. Without his son at home, he felt that life had become much more monotonous.

Hua Rong heard him sigh, and said, "Pengju, if only we had our own children."

How could Yue Pengju not wish to have his own child? However, he knew that his wife was not willing to let him worry her, so he only said, "This kind of thing, I'll leave it to fate."

Hua Rong was also very disappointed when she heard his tone, because she knew that his desire for her child was also very strong. Furthermore, he wasn't that old yet. What about thirty, forty, or even fifty years later?

When he was young, he hoped that the two girls would be happy around his knees when he was old, because the older he was, the more lonely he would be. When he gets old?

His originally slightly relaxed mood immediately became gloomy as a result of the simple exchange of two sentences.

Her hand stroked his chest as she asked in a low voice, "Pengju, do you really want to have your own child?"

"Go to sleep, it's getting late."

She did not speak again, but lay quietly beside him. After a while, she heard her husband sound asleep, but she could not close her eyes because of the worry in her heart.

Since Imigenol did not have any children, Wandering did not dare to ask his husband about taking in concubines. As for himself? Just because he couldn't have children, for the sake of taking care of his own feelings, would he deprive his husband of the joy of having a child?

Are you going to accept it or not?

She was a woman of that era after all, and could not escape the shackles of that era. To answer this question, all she wanted was to be exhausted and could not come up with an answer, and by the time dawn arrived, her eyes were as red as a rabbit. At this time, Yue Pengju had already woken up.

She didn't show any signs of fatigue. She just followed her husband to get out of bed as usual. There was still a lot of things to be done and a lot of ways to go.

Her husband's current task was to eliminate the Water Cock, so she had to put all other personal matters aside for now.

Just as the King Qin was suspicious of Ye Lvdayong's miraculous Lich Gu, Jin Wushu was rushing back to the Shang Jing. In the cold fort in the north of his hometown, a Magus was pointing his finger at the heavens and executing a curse.

This was the younger brother of Gu Shen, known as "sandworm." The sandworm had a very high status as a wizard in the female Genuine Language. Da Da also fought in the north and south. Being conferred the title of King of Pearls, she held a very high position amongst the Golden Generals. He had even used this curse eleven years ago when he was on his way to the Liaoning. After he had assumed a high position, he had become even more cautious and rarely used it.

This time, it was Zong Han, the official who had a good relationship with the brothers, arrested.
