Chapter 39: Crazy Men and Resentful Women
The midsummer night is short, the round moon hangs in the sky early, it quietly looks at the joys and sorrows of the world from a high place, but never says a word, just quietly sprinkles the faint brilliance on the world, who is it looking at today? Is it the sad man in the Splendid Garden of the North Palace?
"You said let me live, why do you want to leave! Why? Come back quickly, this king won't allow you to leave!" all said that the man didn't flick when he had tears, but he didn't reach the sad place, and Dongfang Xun was already in tears at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Sun Xuan, whose eyes were closed on the bed, suddenly trembled, her brows furrowed slightly, and the hand held by Dongfang Xun also trembled, she had been lying motionless on the bed for more than a month like a dead person, shocked by this change, Dongfang Xun was overjoyed, and shouted to the outer hall: "Go and pass on the doctor!"
"Yes!" the girl who was waiting in the outer hall hurriedly ran out.
But when Dongfang Xun called her again, "Xuan'er, Xuan'er!", she was the same as before, and she still didn't respond.
"Lord Wang!" the doctor came, and since Sun Xuan was injured, Dongfang Xun ordered her to live in the Splendid Garden to facilitate the care of the patient.
"Let's take a look, the princess reacted just now. Dongfang Xun hurriedly stood up and made way for her.
"Yes!" the doctor woman stepped forward to check Sun Xuan's pulse, "May I ask the prince, how did the princess react just now?"
"Just a slight tremble. Dongfang Xun replied hurriedly
"But like frightened?" the doctor girl took her hand away and tucked Sun Xuan's hand in the brocade quilt.
"Indeed!" Dongfang Xun thought about the situation just now, and he was indeed frightened, but he didn't know what to do, so he became anxious, "What happened to the princess?"
"Back to the prince, if you look at it from the pulse, it is no different from yesterday. The doctor said unhurriedly, and when she saw Dongfang Xun hearing this, she was disappointed, and her face immediately pulled down.
"The princess is in good health, but now she refuses to wake up, and according to the little girl, she is afraid that she is trapped in a dream. If the princess can't break through the dream, she may never wake up. The doctor added slowly.
This statement made Dongfang Xun's heart difficult to accept, this was not a conventional diagnosis statement, so he doubted the authenticity of this statement, "Trapped in a dream? It's not that you are not skilled in medicine and are fooling this king, right?"
"The little girl doesn't dare!" the doctor knelt down sharply.
"If there is anything wrong with the princess, this king will definitely ask you to accompany the funeral!" Dongfang Xun waved his hand at her, and the doctor retreated in fear.
He turned to hold Sun Xuan's hand tightly and looked at her blankly, "Xuan'er, Xuan'er! Wake up quickly! Big brother is here, don't be afraid!"
But I heard a commotion in the outer hall, "Niangniang! The prince said that no one can go in and disturb him." "The maidservant is holding back those who want to break in.
"Smack!" first a loud slap sounded, followed by an angry reprimand, "Cheap, is the dog daring? Even the concubine dares to stop her!", she has been so angry lately that even she doesn't know why.
"Mother, mother!" the maid cried anxiously behind her.
The menacing Concubine Li had already lifted the curtain of the inner hall and shouted at Dongfang Xun: "Lord!"
Dongfang Xun didn't even look at her, just stared at the person on the bed with his eyes closed. Since Sun Xuan fell into a coma for a month, he has been guarding her bedside day and night. He didn't care about the affairs of the court anymore, and it really reached the point where he didn't want to eat. Now he is extremely haggard with a scruffy beard, and Concubine Li has already generated a nameless anger.
"Lord Wang!" Concubine Li had already arrived in front of him, but Dongfang Xun still didn't even raise his eyelids, just grabbed Sun Xuan's hand tightly and looked at her closed eyes.
"Lord Wang, what's so good about this slut, it's worth you to do this for her!" Concubine Li couldn't hold back her anger anymore, pointed at Sun Xuan, and said fiercely.
"Smack!" Dongfang Xun stood up, gave her a resounding slap, pointed outside and roared: "You are not allowed to call her a slut! Get out of me! Get out!"
The force of the slap made Concubine Li fall to the ground, she covered her red and swollen face, and the tears of grievance were about to come out, she bit her lip fiercely and held back the tears. She looked at Dongfang Xun coldly, her heart was full of hatred, and she laughed at herself in her heart for loving someone who didn't take herself seriously at all like a fool, feeling worthless for her uncomplaining and unregrettable efforts, and then staggered away.
"Lord Wang!" Ye Su appeared quietly, and Dongfang Xun still didn't speak.
"The dyed incense girl is here!" Ye Su said.
"Why is she here?" Dye Xiang has been Dongfang Xun's pillow person for two years, but this is the first time Dye Xiang has come to the Beiwang Mansion, and he can't help but be a little surprised.
"I said I was saying goodbye to the prince!" Ye Su replied.
"Farewell, is she leaving the imperial capital?" Dongfang Xun is not a man with a thin heart, he still cares about dyeing incense.
"The prince should go and ask her himself!" Ye Su said.
Dongfang Xun listened, gently pulled the quilt, and said gently: "Xuan'er, big brother will go out for a while, and I will come back to accompany you in a while." ”
He expected Sun Xuan to respond, but Sun Xuan still didn't react at all, so he left disappointed.
When he returned to the living room to see the picturesque man again, Dongfang Xun was taken aback, he and Dye Xiang had not seen each other for more than a month, how could she be so haggard, her once fair and ruddy face was a little sallow, her round cheeks were sunken, and her eyes were dim and dull, and she was wearing a white cloak outside on a hot day, and her whole body was tightly wrapped, and she was not the charming and moving woman at all.
"Xiang'er, what's wrong with you?" Dongfang Xun was surprised by her change.
"Concubine, it's not a big deal!Lord Wang, how can you be so haggard?" Dye Xiang was also extremely surprised by his change, she greeted him, touched his emaciated cheek, and her eyes sparkled.
"This king has stayed up too late, and it will naturally be fine to rest, but are you sick?" Dongfang Xun didn't say much about his situation, but asked about his situation with concern.
"It's just that I've been infected with typhoid fever in recent days, and I'm taking medicine, so I'm fine!" Dye Xiang's voice was very weak, but it looked like she was seriously ill.
"Then you have to run out without stopping. Dongfang Xun is blaming her for not caring for her body.
"The concubine hasn't seen the prince for many days, and she is worried in her heart, so she wants to come and see it, it's the concubine who is abrupt. Dye Xiang lowered her head slightly, her voice was so weak.
"Lord, Miss, she ......" The incense-dyed maid couldn't help but interject anymore.
"Yunxiao!" Someka cut her off and didn't let her continue.
"Yunxiao, what did you say was wrong with Xiang'er?" Dongfang Xun felt that things were not as simple as Dye Xiang's understatement.
"Miss has been ill for a long time, and the famous doctor has seen a lot, but the illness is not good, but the body is getting weaker and weaker, and she coughed up some blood a few days ago. Yunxiao choked.
Dongfang Xun listened, stared at the incense seriously, and blamed: "Xiang'er, why don't you let this king know that you are so sick, and this king can let the house doctor help you take a look." ”
"The concubine's illness is not so serious, don't listen to Yunxiao's nonsense. Ran Xiang squeezed out a bitter smile from the corner of her mouth, and she was about to cough out as she spoke, but she held back.
"Miss, how can I have!" said Yunxiao hurriedly.
"Xiang'er, sit down and rest for a while, this king will let the house doctor come and show you. Dongfang Xun carried the incense and asked her to sit on the couch.
Dye Xiang excused herself: "The concubine is fine, the prince of prison is bothered, and he should go back now." ”
"Xiang'er!" Dongfang Xun scolded her.
Dye Xiang looked at him and couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and said to Dongfang Xun extremely weakly: "Lord Wang, Dye Xiang is not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will never see the prince again!", her voice became smaller and smaller when she spoke, and by the end she was a little inaudible, and she passed out. Dongfang Xun supported her by the side and called: "Xiang'er, Xiang'er", but she didn't react at all, so Dongfang Xun picked up the dyed incense and rushed out, "Hurry up and go to the Liuxiang Garden!"
Looking at the back of the beautiful woman in front of her and rushing away, Concubine Li only felt that it was dark in front of her, and her body couldn't help but retreat, but she instantly stabilized her figure. At this moment, she deeply realized that her marriage to Dongfang Xun was really a big joke, he could love all the women in the world, but he didn't love her. Now she sees that there is no more love in Dongfang Xun's eyes, only overflowing hatred.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and even the insects are no longer called. Concubine Li looked at the full moon outside the window, and wanted to take it off and crush it. Thinking of the crisp slap, remembering the roll, remembering that she almost collapsed outside the living room tonight, remembering that the house doctor said that she was happy, her heart that should have been chaotic suddenly became clear, she thought: Since you don't love me, then I don't have to love you anymore, although you don't love me, but what belongs to me, no one can take it away.
"Mei Shu, go get a bowl of white fungus soup for this concubine. She doesn't sleep, Mei Shu naturally has to wait in front of her, but now she wants to take her away.
"Yes!" Mei Shu was very smart and knew that her master was deliberately trying to break away from herself, so she left very obediently.
Seeing Mei Shu walking away, she said to the full moon: "Come in! I have something to tell you!", and someone really came by taking advantage of the moonlight.
"I conceived your flesh and blood. She said with a numb expression, without any joy in her heart.
"What do you want to do?" he should have been happy, but seeing the numb expression on her face, he didn't know whether he should be happy or worried, so he could only ask.
"Shouldn't you be happy that I'm pregnant with your flesh and blood?, why do you have such an indifferent expression?" she looked at him coldly, as if she wanted to pierce him with her eyes.
Her heart is too high, never willing to bow her head, so she is always so aggressive, he looked at her and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Would you like to go with me? ”
"Hmph!" she sneered, "Do you want the world to spurn me for being a slut, and for my children to grow up nameless?"
He knew she wouldn't agree, and he felt ashamed of her, so her words left him speechless.
"Promise me, will you help me, for the sake of our children," she said, hugging his waist and resting her head on his chest. I remember the last time she said this to him, he didn't answer, and he hid from her for days.
"Yes! I promise you. After all, he still had no choice, and the corners of her mouth finally showed a smile, but the smile was not funny.
