Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 857 - : Fate Tribulation!
Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Fate Tribulation!
Her heart brimmed with passion as she tightly embraced his robust waist.
He, too, firmly held her in his embrace, tenderly cherishing her.
“I have also learned much about you from Cheng’er of the border city; each time, I hated that I couldn’t take your place, and each time I wanted to give up…”
“Fool! Now that I, Liu Sisi, have married you, I am your wife. I take delight in doing these things.”
Although Liu Sisi only had a brief chat with Di Yelei, her mood suddenly improved, and the gloom caused by that stinky rascal Chou Chou dissipated entirely.
...
Not long after, the doctor arrived.
Having thoroughly checked her pulse, the doctor stood up and reported, “The Princess’s body is not in any serious harm, it’s just a bit of imbalance between yin and yang, with cold evil invading the body, causing stagnation in the lower abdomen. One only needs to pay more attention to temperature changes regularly, and combine this with dietary adjustments. In a few months, she’ll recover as before. I will prescribe a few doses of medicine to take, to ensure that there’s no mistake.”
Hearing that Liu Sisi’s body was not in serious danger, Di Yelei breathed a sigh of relief.
“Then we’ll trouble you, Sir.”
Liu Sisi didn’t think much of it; it seemed that every woman would experience painful menstruation, and she really didn’t care about it.
After taking the medicine, she did not sleep, but instead asked about the early morning session, “How is that matter going?”
“I’ve already discussed it with big brother and others, and it’s already underway. You don’t need to worry about it. If there is any good news, His Majesty will also issue a decree. Before that, nothing is certain.”
Thinking about it, the dynamics of the imperial court are so unpredictable, not so easily seen through.
Speaking of seeing through, Liu Sisi thought of the child Xiao Xiao.
“What about Taoist Master Zhu now? Why hasn’t Xiao Xiao returned yet?”
“Taoist Master Zhu took Xiao Xiao back to the Immortal Mountain; the specific date of return is uncertain.”
Di Yelei had always kept this matter a secret, fearing that Sisi would worry: “Taoist Master Zhu possesses the ability to foretell the future; initially, when His Majesty feigned death as a risky military tactic, it was directed by Taoist Master Zhu from behind. His strategy is almost unfathomable, truly not something ordinary people can achieve. Xiao Xiao, under the tutelage of such a master, even if he doesn’t learn any specific skills, there’s no need to worry about him growing up safely.”
Liu Sisi felt herself tense up, “What do you mean by that?”
Di Yelei gently caressed Liu Sisi’s back, and after a long while, he sighed, “You probably don’t know, but long before the triplets were born, someone had already foreseen all this.”
“Who foresaw all this?” Liu Sisi became more and more confused as she listened.
“It was Empress Yang who foresaw all this, therefore, sparing no effort in her attempts to eliminate Xiao Xiao.”
Since the conversation had reached this point, he had no choice but to reveal the truth: “Empress Yang holds strong beliefs in spirits and gods, and she also maintained the services of a Taoist in Yang Mansion. This Taoist not only foresaw your identity but also Xiao Xiao’s, calling him an ‘anomaly’ and predicted that all changes would arise because of him. Thus, he advised Empress Yang to eliminate both you and Xiao Xiao.”

“Unexpectedly, their forces were repeatedly obstructed by various unidentified horsemen, always allowing you to escape at the critical moment. This is also the reason why Empress Yang detests you so much.” Di Yelei’s eyes carried a deep meaning.
“Heh, this is really laughable.”
Liu Sisi, propping herself up, sat back against the pillow with a smile, “Such unfounded talk and there are people who actually believe it! But from what has happened now, whatever this so-called Immortal Master said has indeed come true. Yet, what do you specifically refer to by ‘all this’?”
Has it not been fulfilled?
Speaking seriously, it was truly due to Xiao Xiao that the entire Yang Family was led to destruction!
Could it be that there is indeed some divine will at play?
Di Ye Lei’s face was solemn, “What else could it mean? It naturally suggests that Xiao Xiao is… precisely because everything else the Immortal Master said has come true, Xiao Xiao is now in even greater danger.”
Liu Sisi furrowed her brows and thought for a moment, “Are you saying that what the Immortal Master meant is… that Xiao Xiao is the future heir to the throne?”
“According to the Immortal Master, Xiao Xiao has the aspect of an Emperor and bears the Imperial Mandate. As long as he can break through his fateful ordeal, everything else for him will be within easy reach.”
Looking into Di Ye Lei’s earnest eyes, Liu Sisi gasped for air!
The aspect of an Emperor and bearing the Imperial Mandate! Such a prophecy is a disaster even within the Imperial Family, let alone for Xiao Xiao who has such an awkward status! I am merely a Princess of the Great Zhao, not a prince! How could my child possibly inherit the rule of the Great Zhao’s kingdom?
No! It’s not impossible.
Unless…
The only way Xiao Xiao could possibly succeed to the throne would be if all the members of the Great Zhao Imperial Family were to die…
No, how could I think such things!
Liu Sisi felt she must be cursed with madness as she urgently shook these improper thoughts from her head.
She no longer cared for anything else and suddenly grabbed Di Ye Lei’s lapels, shaking him vigorously while she spoke harshly with righteous indignation, “This is slander! It is also a trap! Xiao Xiao is such a small child, how could he possibly be likened to… This is a trap; it must have been designed long ago! The purpose is to eliminate us…”
“Yet so far, the other party’s prophecy has not been mistaken even once.”
Di Ye Lei didn’t move at all, coldly watching Liu Sisi, “Not even once…”
Liu Sisi shivered all over and let go of him subconsciously.
“At first, they said you were carrying triplets, one girl and two boys, and even then people accused him of talking nonsense. Then step by step, one event after another, everything has unfolded exactly according to his prophecy to this point. I… I can’t gamble, Sisi.”
Di Ye Lei’s expression was very grave, “I don’t care what he becomes in the future… whether he is a snake or an insect; all I want is for him to live on! But Xiao Xiao has an ordeal of fate to face, and I can’t gamble on it. And Taoist Master Zhu said he has a way to resolve this fateful ordeal; that’s why I agreed to let Xiao Xiao be taken as a disciple by Taoist Master Zhu.”
“What you mean is…”
Liu Sisi slowly sat back down, looking into his eyes, and said, word by word, “Letting Xiao Xiao become a monk to avoid the fateful ordeal?”
“Yes, but not exactly. According to Taoist Master Zhu, Xiao Xiao is indeed destined to face great tribulations, and what he can do is to help him resolve it to the best of his ability. After ten years, he will let Xiao Xiao return to face his ordeal. By then, I believe most of the tribulation will be resolved.”
Di Ye Lei gazed into Liu Sisi’s eyes, watching his own reflection in them and feeling particularly hollow.
“Sisi? Sisi, you…?”
“You already knew all this, didn’t you?” Liu Sisi’s voice was very soft, her low murmurs drifting from her lips.
“I found out when Taoist Master Zhu rescued me from the sky prison. I didn’t know much before you did.”
“Hmm, I understand.”
Liu Sisi nodded her head then turned back to lie down, wrapping herself in the quilt, burying her head along with it in the bedding, and didn’t come out for a long while.
