Chapter Twenty-Four: The Night Moon in the East a Thousand Years Ago

How is she?

Good, not good, no, very bad......

She hasn't laughed since you went to Guanwai. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Night Moon, she ...... Let's go......

――

The cold wind howled outside the gate, with a fine yellow sand across the face of the eastern night moon, and the face was cut a little bit, which was invisible to the naked eye, but the pain could be felt. The night moon in the east looked at the Gobi in the distance, endless, hopeless, the bloodshot in his eyes seemed to start crying, maybe the wind was too cold, maybe the heart was too painful, and a tear fell. The sun is setting, and the beauty is out of control. The Gobi is splendid, full of pride.

The desert is dark, and the red flag is half rolled out.

There is no trace of temperature in Dongfang Yeyue's heart, because it is empty, like a big hole, bottomless.

The soldiers stationed there stood not far from the general and did not dare to approach. Every evening, the general can always be seen standing on this high platform alone, looking at the direction of Chang'an. Standing in the wind and sand for several hours, no soldier would bother, and he would not dare to disturb. Everyone didn't know why the general always refused to return to Chang'an, refused Chang'an's summons several times, and did not want to return to Chang'an. I only heard the post envoy at the post station say that Chang'an could no longer accommodate this general. Several times the envoy wanted to say something, such as the general's romantic history in Chang'an, but he always wanted to stop talking, and then left after sending the paperwork, no longer speaking. The soldiers knew that a righteous man like the general must not have come to this desolate place because of his romance, and he was the son-in-law of the three products and six books of the dynasty, and he must not have been degraded. Time passed, and the soldiers forgot about it.

Maybe Chang'an will no longer be able to tolerate the night moon in the east.

Because, when the general's friends came, they must have come with bad news, and the soldiers thought so.

Xiao Mo, the young friend of Dongfang Yeyue, is the son of General Chaozheng Sipin Zhongwu. Since they were sensible, the two have been gentlemen who wear the same pair of pants. But the fathers of the two have always been at odds in politics, and there are many disputes between them in the court. Under the pressure of the second elder, the two still come and go frequently.

He would come to visit the general outside the gate once every six months, and each time he left, the general stood on the high platform for longer and longer.

Since Dongfang Yeyue was sent to garrison the border pass, the only contact with Chang'an was with Xiao Mo. Relying on the few letters that were not lost on the way, he comforted the heart of the night moon in the east every evening.

The eastern night moon standing beside him in front of him, his eyes were no longer clear and bright, standing in the wind and sand, looking particularly sad. The Oriental Night Moon, which used to be suave and laughing and constantly shuttling with himself in the night market, has long since disappeared. Xiao Mo's heart was tugged. Hey, fate creates evil...... The dignified seven-foot man couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. The wooden box in his hand was tightened by him, and he handed it out and stretched it back.

That's it.

Xiao Mo handed the wooden box to Dongfang Yeyue.

The top of the box is carved in the shape of a peach blossom, which has some old color. At first glance, it is a small jewelry box, which is extremely ordinary. Looking closely, I found that even a lock was carved with the fine lines of peach blossoms, like a woman who was shy of flowers in the closed moon.

Dongfang Yeyue stretched out her hand to take the box, looked at the old peach blossoms, no longer spoke, her face was heavy, and the surrounding sunset also turned a blood-red, dying the sky red, dyeing the trees in the distance. Blood covered the earth, beautiful, and desperate.

He closed his eyes, not wanting to cry again in front of his friends.

That year, they were in the palace, looking at her red, amazed all the dignitaries and nobles present, his eyes were red, and he ran away in tears.

Ignoring the opposition of his father and mother, he asked the emperor overnight to go to this barren place.

In the wooden box, there is the peach blossom hairpin, which was given to Otome by the Oriental Night Moon under the peach blossom back then.

At this point, everything was mostly slaughtered.

"She has asked you to bring the words to me......" Dongfang Yeyue choked and squeezed a few words out of her throat.

Xiao Mo took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Dongfang Yeyue.

That day.

Xiao Mo enjoyed the flowers with friends in the house, and he was in high spirits. The girl from the palace rushed to report, saying that she had something urgent to find Mo Gongzi and disturbed Xiao Mo's Yaxing.

He frowned and looked at the maid who came as he walked.

The girl had messy hair, and the crying pear blossoms brought rain. It is very different from the delicate and lovely appearance when she traveled with her wife in the past.

This scene made Xiao Mo's heart uneasy.

"Xiao Gongzi ......"

"My wife...... It's almost gone, my wife wants to see you....... beg Xiao Gongzi, go and meet my wife!"

Otome?!

Xiao Mo is like five thunderbolts.

He didn't have time to say anything to his friends, so he hurriedly followed the palace girl to the palace. Along the way, I asked the girl to find out that Otome was tired due to illness.

"Didn't she look good when I was separated from your wife, how could she suddenly deteriorate to such a situation?"

The girl was panting, as if there was something unspeakable, and she was stumbling.

"Mo Gongzi, after my wife gave birth to a miscarriage, her already cold body began to deteriorate......"

"Miscarriage?" Xiao Mo couldn't believe that no one had reported such a thing to him.

"Madame, she'...... Be...... Ate the Five Elements Grass. ”

Five elements grass!!Is it that Otome herself wants to have a miscarriage?Xiao Mo can't believe her own judgment, how can Otome joke with her body?

Inside the palace.

Otome was lying on the couch, her face bloodless. The maids around her were all red-eyed, crying pear blossoms and raining. The doctor stood aside, his head bowed and shaken.

Xiao Mo found that only the adults who didn't see them, Qingming.

Since Dongfang Yeyue took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the border gate, Xiao Mo has never had any contact with Qingming.

He first walked up to the doctor and asked about the situation.

"What's going on?"

"My lord, forgive the countless times that I have returned to God...... Madame, this is ...... I want to go......"

Xiao Mo was annoyed.

"As a doctor, how can you talk such nonsense and let the patient seek death!"

The doctor shook his head with fear and helplessness on his face.

"My lord, Madame's body bones are deliberately destroyed, and the miscarriage has dealt a very big blow to Madame's already extremely cold physique, unable to resist the cold of the outside world, and now it is damaged and cannot be repaired, and the villain is really helpless......"

Otome overhears the conversation between Xiao Mo and the doctor, and she wants to sit up with what little strength she has left. Her hand was stretched out, and her face became even paler. It seems that the only remaining strength is afraid that he will have to keep talking to Xiao Gongzi, and he will not be able to sit up. The maid hurriedly helped Otome up.

Otome's bloodless lips opened slightly.

"Xiao Gongzi, you come ......"

Xiao Mo was about to ask the doctor for details, and when he heard Otome's call, he hurried away.

Up close, Otome's face was terrifying. When she was separated from her in the warm spring season, she was still a stunning woman in Chang'an. And now, like a withered peach blossom, petals have fallen into the bottomless lake. Why, such a stunning woman, but self-disfigured.

Xiao Mo felt inexplicable pain in his heart, and his eyes were about to turn red.

"Otome...... You ......"

Otome saw Xiao Mo's face, and a smile appeared on her pale face.

"Xiao Gongzi, don't you be afraid of my face...... Don't blame the doctor. ”

"Otome, why are you bothering!"

Otome reached out and pulled out a letter from under her pillow.

"Xiao Gongzi, I wanted to come to the door to thank you in person when I was better, I am really grateful that you have been helping me and that person all these times. I have a letter here, and I'm going to ask you to forward it to that person for me. ”

Otome handed the letter to Xiao Mo, and the hand, so slender that it seemed to break off with a slight effort.

"Otome, you...... How can I explain to that man! I promised him to protect you!"

"Xiao Gongzi, don't be sad. I'm happy at the moment. I'm afraid that's all for this life, and the only sad thing is that that person is still suffering for me in that sick place. I'll tell him later. ”

The only remaining strength in her body was about to be exhausted, and Otome's tone became lighter and lighter, and Xiao Mo got closer and closer.

Otome felt that her body was running out of strength, so she reached out to grab Xiao Mo, who felt bad and leaned over.

Otome attached herself to Xiao Mo's ear and spoke to him with the last of her strength.

- "That man, don't atone for me anymore, I've always loved him!"

With a smile, Otome closed her eyes forever.

The maids all began to cry, and the doctor touched their tears, and the whole house became desolate.

Xiao Mo looked at the peach blossoms that had been zeroed, his eyes were moist, and he clenched the letter in his hand tightly,

Yes, the sky on that day was also blood-red. Blood red shrouded the entire palace, the wind blew the peach trees, and the peach blossoms fell to the ground after a brief dance in the air.

The blood red of that day was the same as today's. It's been a year, and Xiao Mo brought this letter over. Otome was afraid that the news of her departure would reach the East Night Moon, and he would alarm the entire Chang'an again for her.

Dongfang Yeyue opened the letter in her hand, and when she saw the familiar handwriting, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. The pain in his heart made him want to die and follow Otome.

――

Night Moon, when you read this letter, we were already separated by heaven and earth. Don't worry, I close my eyes and smile. Because you are guarding, you are remembering. I will no longer have hatred when I go, and from now on you will not have to atone for my sins, and you must not avenge me. This is all regret and unwillingness, since you left, I can't sleep at night, I want to leave warmly in your arms. Yeyue, you must be very lonely at the border! Yeyue, don't ruin your future for me anymore, the concubine has always loved you deeply! The concubine is gone, if there is really an afterlife, you must remember not to come to me again!

Yes!

The night moon in the east howled, piercing the entire sky, presumably Otome could hear it.

He never expected that the palace would see her in red clothes for the last time that year. I didn't even say anything about separation, and the love in my heart and the hatred in my heart kept hovering outside this pass with this wind and sand.

Xiao Mo looked at the night moon in the east.

"She hasn't laughed anymore since you left...... She said......"

- "Don't atone for her anymore, I've always loved you!"

She's always loved you!

She's always loved you!

Yes!

Dongfang Yeyue cried, tears like a spring under this windy and sandy land, and they flowed quickly all over his face.

When the soldiers heard the general's cry, they all bowed their heads and fell silent, not daring to speak.

You know that my life is meaningless, why did you choose this way to leave me!

She ...... Is...... It's cruel...... I've always ...... All...... It's so cruel!"

Dongfang Yeyue raised her head, closed her eyes, and let the tears flow down her face.

Yes!

He began to weep in grief again, and now the whole sky became redder than before, as if it were about to collapse, the wind stopped dancing, and the sand stopped.

It's over.

"Otome...... You're so ....... cruel........ next life, I'm ...... I'm not looking for you......"
