Chapter 221 "Ci'an, kill me..."
Chapter 221 "Ci'an, kill me..."
After seeing An Shengyang off, Jiang Wen sent the news of Jiang Ci'an's awakening to the palace.
Emperor An was shocked and sent his personal eunuch to visit him in person.
He also announced to the world that once Jiang Ci'an recovered from his injury, he would immediately hold a ceremony to enthrone him as the crown prince!
Shen Changle was injured and was in the early stages of pregnancy.
Jiang Ci'an specifically requested not to move to the Eastern Palace, but to temporarily live in the General's Mansion.
In this way, Changle would not be bound by the palace rules;
Living with Yan Lan and others will also be more conducive to Changle's pregnancy.
But I don’t know why…
As the months went by, Shen Changle's temperament became more and more strange.
He would have emotional breakdowns at the slightest provocation and would often lose his temper at his maids.
When I asked the imperial physician or Doctor Sun, they both said that it was normal emotional fluctuation during pregnancy.
Jiang Ci'an could only try to spend more time with her.
He even brought memorials back from the palace and secretly reviewed them after she fell asleep.
This went on for several more months.
But as the due date draws closer, the situation shows no signs of improvement. Instead, it becomes more and more serious, almost to the point of being out of control...
Jiang Ci'an had just returned to the general's mansion that day, and before he even entered, he saw Qingying waiting outside the door.
He was startled and quickly quickened his pace, fearing that something had happened to Changle.
"Qingying, why are you here?"
"Your Highness! You are finally back. Go and see the Crown Princess. She..."
"What happened to Changle?"
Jiang Ci'an suddenly grabbed her arm, unable to hide his urgency.
"The Crown Princess, she deliberately committed suicide..."
"what?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ci'an hurried to the yard, but was stopped by Jiang Wen at the gate.
"Cease!"
"Let's talk about it later if you have anything to say!"
Jiang Ci'an had no time to talk to him, so he shook off his hand and went into the yard.
But he stopped him again.
"Ci'an! Listen to me, Changle's current state is not right! It's very wrong!"
How could Jiang Ci'an not know that Changle was not in good condition?
But he still turned around hesitantly and asked:
"What do you want to say?"
"Although I haven't spent much time with Changle, I know she wasn't like this before she got pregnant, and it's even more impossible for her to have a child..."
"Call back?"
Jiang Ci'an was shocked. This was absolutely impossible.
He finally stopped, clenched his fists and asked worriedly:
"What on earth happened today?"
Jiang Wen rubbed his forehead helplessly and sighed.
"Alas... I heard from the maid that Hui'er was just clamoring to be held and annoyed her.
She raised her hand and slapped Hui'er twice, making him cry, but she was still not satisfied.
The maid couldn't stop her, so she came looking for me. When I arrived, I was frightened by her and was so angry that I wanted to kill her. If I hadn't come..."
"do not talk!"
Jiang Ci'an's heart ached and he was filled with panic...
He knew that Changle was not in good condition, but he didn't know what to do!
"Take Hui'er to your yard. I'll go see Changle..."
"Well, you...be careful."
Jiang Ci'an glared at him, then turned around and went into the yard.
Push the door and enter the main house.
When they saw Jiang Ci'an coming back, Zi Yuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief and retreated with a wink.
"Changle? I'm back..."
Not seeing Changle in the outer room, he gently pushed open the door to the inner room.
Only then did I see...
The windows of the inner room were covered and there was no light, so it was frighteningly dark inside.
"Changle..."
Jiang Ci'an called her name softly and walked in slowly.
He kicked the candlestick at his feet, looked down, and saw...
The ground was littered with broken ornaments and torn books...
He frowned, feeling heartbroken.
What on earth is his Changle going through?
Why did it turn out like this?
He bent down to pick up the candlestick and was about to walk to the bed when he suddenly heard Shen Changle exclaim:
"do not come!"
There was fear and threat in his voice.
Jiang Ci'an clenched his fists and his nose felt sore.
With a hoarse voice, he coaxed her softly:
"Changle...it's me, Ci'an."
"Farewell..."
She murmured the name over and over again.
"Goodbye, good-bye..."
She almost couldn't remember who Ci'an was...
When the familiar figure appeared in her mind, she suddenly stood up and rushed over.
Jiang Ci'an knew that she might hurt him.
But he didn't hide.
Instead, he opened his arms, caught her, and gave her gentle instructions.
"Slow down, Changle, you're over seven months old, don't run..."
More than seven months...
Only then did Shen Changle remember that she was pregnant.
She raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at the face that made her feel at ease...
Suddenly two lines of tears flowed down.
He said something that Jiang Ci'an would never forget in his life:
"Ci'an, kill me..."
Jiang Ci'an's pupils suddenly constricted. Looking at the once gentle and lively Shen Changle, who was now tortured to the point of being almost crazy, he could no longer hold back his tears.
Hold her tightly in your arms.
"What are you talking about? Changle... You said we still have decades of good life to live. Are you going to abandon me? I won't allow you to do this..."
"Farewell..."
She called his name, tears and blood in her eyes.
She also wants to live a good life with him!
I want to live an ordinary and happy life with him like in Yuanyang City...
But she really can't hold on any longer!
"Ci'an...for the sake of our child, please kill me! If you continue like this, none of us will survive..."
"What's wrong with you? Changle, tell me, please tell me. Please...
I know you are in pain now, and I can't share your pain, but please let me know what's wrong with you, I want to face it with you...
Changle, you promised me that no matter what happens, we will face it together!"
He didn't believe it because he was pregnant.
This isn't his and Changle's first child!
How could pregnancy turn her into this?
His Changle was clearly someone who could go to the battlefield with a big belly...
and so……
What happened?
Changle...
Jiang Ci'an wanted so much to bear this pain and torture for her!
"Changle, tell me..."
Under Jiang Ci'an's repeated questioning, Shen Changle finally collapsed and fell to the ground, crying bitterly.
"Ci'an, what should I do..."
Jiang Ci'an sniffed and carried her to the bed.
His tone was extremely gentle as he gently wiped her tears.
"Don't be afraid, Changle, I'm here, tell me slowly..."
He held Shen Changle in his arms and leaned against the head of the bed.
Shen Changle curled up in his arms, murmuring softly as she used to when she coaxed him to sleep:
"Ci'an, let me tell you a story? This is a story I just heard today..."
"it is good."
Jiang Ci'an held her hand, kissed the top of her head, and hugged her tightly.
