Chapter 32: The Finale (1)
She said, tears welling up in her eyes, and continued: "Unlike you, you are bold, passionate, happy, full of love for life, and can bring joy to others. Even if you encounter ups and downs, you don't think about death, but think about how to live happily with a smile. I often think that if Yu hadn't grown up beside me, maybe she would have been able to grow up like you. Rather than resenting you, I should blame myself for harming my own daughter. ”
Jiang Yu was silent for a while before he spoke: "I saw her." ”
Xiao Chen hurriedly looked up at her, and Jiang Yu continued: "Just before I woke up, I saw her. ”
Xiao Chen's body trembled a little, and asked, "Then where is she, ...... Will you be back?"
Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "When I was asleep three years ago, she had a chance to wake up, but she gave up, and finally she woke me up. She asked me to take care of you, and then she said she was going to see my original world. ”
Xiao Chen bit his lip and was silent for a long time, and his hands were clenched into fists before he stopped the trembling of his body.
Jiang Yu turned his head to look at her and said, "When you hear this, you will definitely hate me." Because of me, you have lost your daughter again. And this time, it is likely to be lost forever. And I was so selfish, in order to live, vilely and once again took possession of her body. ”
Xiao Chen laughed out loud and said, "I don't blame you, this is also her own choice." As long as she can live in another world, it doesn't matter if we see each other or not. She said and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Jiang Yu just wanted to say something more, but the corner of his eyes happened to see a bright yellow corner of his clothes swept out of the screen. Jiang Yu couldn't help frowning, thinking that he didn't know how long he had been standing there and listening.
Seeing that Jiang Yu had already discovered him, Yuwenhong sighed lightly and had no choice but to walk out of the screen.
When Xiao Chen saw him, he hurriedly cleaned up the expression on his face, walked down from the chair, knelt on the ground, and asked Andao: "The courtiers knock to see the emperor." ”
Yu Wenhong and Jiang Yu looked at each other for a while, and after half a while, they remembered to help Xiao Chen up, and said, "Madam, please get up." ”
Yu Wenhong walked to the chair and sat down, looking at the small table next to him, there was still half a bowl of porridge left, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why do you only eat so little." ”
Jiang Yu didn't answer his words and turned his face away.
Xiao Chen hurriedly explained, "It's all the blame on the courtiers, they forgot to feed their mothers when they talked to their mothers." ”
Yu Wenhong picked up the porridge again, tested the temperature, and said, "It's cold, wait a minute, let the palace people heat a bowl for you again." ”
Xiao Chen saw that Yu Wenhong and Jiang Yu probably had something to say, so he hurriedly retreated at this time and said: "It's not early today, the courtiers will retire first, and they will enter the palace tomorrow to visit Niangniang." ”
Yu Wenhong nodded, and then Xiao Chen retreated.
At this time, there were two more people left in the hall, Jiang Yu and Yu Wenhong, both of whom sat and looked at each other speechlessly, and no one spoke for a long time.
After a long time, Jiang Yu spoke first: "Did you hear it just now? She won't come back, she gave up the chance to wake up and gave me the opportunity." ”
Yu Wenhong lowered his head and was silent for a long time, before he gently took Jiang Yu's hand and put it in his palm, and said seriously: "Ah Yu, I am very glad that you are the one who woke up." ”
"Actually, she loves you very much. Jiang Yu stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, choked up: "She said that the person you love now is me, and she gave me the opportunity to wake up, but I am still not sure whether the person you really love is me." I was selfish, and even so, I woke up. ”
Yu Wenhong hugged her and said, "It's you, it's you, it's you, I love you." As he spoke, he rubbed his cheek against her ear, closed his eyes, and said, "I'm sorry for her." ”
Jiang Yu said: "Yes, you are sorry for her, I am also sorry for her, we are all sorry for her." Jiang Yu asked again: "Tell me, do you still have her in your heart?"
Yu Wenhong didn't speak, just brushed her back one by one.
Jiang Yu replied for him: "Yes, right? Whether you like it or feel guilty, you will always leave her a place in your heart." ”
Yu Wenhong said: "I'm sorry, Ah Yu. ”
Jiang Yu said: "It's okay, I allow you to keep her place." However, she is not the only one, and there can be no one else. ”
Yu Wenhong said: "Ah Yu, are you willing to forgive me now?"
Jiang Yu said: "Yes, I forgive you." She asked me to love you well, and I will love you well in the future......" she said and put her hand on Yu Wenhong's back, hugged him tightly, and said, "As long as you love me too." ”
Yu Wenhong asked, "Then are you willing to listen to my explanation now?"
Jiang Yu said: "You say, I'll listen." ”
Yu Wenhong said: "Three years ago, when you were pregnant with Ding'er, you always fell asleep from time to time, and sometimes you fell asleep for a few days. Lin Yuan told me that this is because your soul is getting weaker and weaker in Yuyu's body. It's because Yuyu's soul is about to wake up, and it is impossible for one body to hold two awake souls at the same time, and if Yuyu wakes up, then you may have to disappear. Lin Yuan told me that the only way was to either make Yuyu's soul disappear completely, or let you disappear completely. ”
The so-called complete disappearance, Jiang Yu couldn't understand it better.
Yu Wenhong continued: "Ah Yu, forgive me, after all, I am ashamed of Yu Yu, I forced her to stay by my side, but in the end I empathized with you, I am sorry for her, and there is no way to completely let her soul fly away for you." The only way I can think of to do both is to find a body in which you can be reborn in that body as you were reborn in Yuyu. Between you and Yuyu, I didn't choose Yu, I just wanted to not hurt her without protecting you. ”
It's just that what she didn't expect was that this aspect of his psychology would be used by Cui Erong, and even made him almost lose her.
Jiang Yu said: "I believe in you." ”
"Thank you, thank you for waking up, Ayu. ”
Jiang Yu pushed him away, looked at him and said, "Since we have made our words clear, I won't blame you anymore, so shouldn't you return Ding'er to me." ”
As soon as Yu Wenhong wanted to speak, Jiang Yu interrupted him and said, "Don't think I don't know, you didn't know at all, you deliberately prevented Ding'er from coming to see me, just to make me soft on you." ”
Yu Wenhong smiled and said, "I don't deny it, if I don't do this, when will you be able to forgive me." ”
Jiang Yu said: "You ask someone to bring Ding'er, I want to see him." ”
Yu Wenhong stretched out his hand to help her lie down, then took off his shoes and jumped on the bed, lay beside her and hugged her from behind, and said, "Tomorrow, today is our time." As he spoke, he took a deep breath, smelled the soft fragrance of Wenyu around him, and sighed lightly: "How long has it been since I held you so well." ”
Jiang Yu kicked behind him a little angrily, but his feet were caught by him, Yu Wenhong closed his eyes and said: "Don't move, let me sleep well next to you, I have never had a good sleep in the past three years." ”
On the second day, Yu Wenhong did not break his promise, and really brought Yu Wending.
As soon as Yu Wending entered the door, he pounced on Jiang Yu with a flat mouth, shouting "Queen Mother, Queen Mother".
Jiang Yu hurriedly picked him up, put him on his knee, kissed him twice with a smile, and said, "Ding'er, my mother is a good Ding'er, my mother hasn't hugged you well." ”
Yu Wending was a little embarrassed to be kissed by Jiang Yu, and blushed embarrassedly. Jiang Yu found out that this son was particularly shy. I thought he was cute in my heart and couldn't help but smile.
But then Yu Wending was unhappy again, and complained to Jiang Yu with a flat mouth: "Queen Mother, my father is really excessive, he only let me see my mother once a day, and said that I have to write fifty big characters to see my mother once a day, otherwise I won't see it once." Saying that, he snorted and said: "Wait, when I grow up, I will also make my father look good, and I will only allow my father to see the queen mother once a day." After thinking about it, he felt that such a punishment was too light, and added: "I still have to finish writing fifty big characters...... No, a hundred ......"
The palace people in the hall all laughed when they heard this, and Gu Yu was especially happy, and praised: "The little prince is really getting cuter and cuter the more he grows up. ”
Jiang Yu pinched his son's face and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm also very unhappy about your father blocking our meeting, I'm waiting for Ding'er to grow up and avenge my mother......
Yu Wending nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "Definitely, when the time comes, my father will have to write a hundred big characters to see my mother once." ”
Jiang Yu said: "Okay." ”
The atmosphere of reunion diluted all sadness, not to mention that there was such a lovely child.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yu asked the palace people to lead Yuwending to take a nap, and the people from the Shanggong Bureau sent the auspicious clothes to be used in the post-sealing ceremony.
Yu Wenhong said: "The dress I made for you three years ago is old, and I asked the palace people to make a few sets for you again." As he spoke, he took her hand and sat down together, hugged her and said, "The holy decree after the seal has been made a long time ago, but until now, I still owe you a ceremony after the seal." As he spoke, he explained: "Ding'er is our child, and the original ceremony of his canonization of the prince should wait until you wake up and see him canonized with your own eyes." It's just that the early establishment of the prince is conducive to stabilizing the country's foundation, and it can also cut off some people's minds, so I will first do his canonization ceremony. ”
Jiang Yu naturally wouldn't blame him for this.
Yu Wenhong said again: "Go try the dress, if it's not suitable, there is time to change it." ”
Jiang Yu said: "Don't be busy, I still have one more thing to conclude, I want to meet Cui." ”
Yu Wenhong sighed and said, "That's it, you and her used to be sisters, I know that you will definitely see her when you wake up, so I didn't kill her." He stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to meet her." ”
Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "No, I'll go alone." Ding'er will wake up soon, and you stay in Zichen Palace. There are some things that we women have to say alone to be clear. ”
Yu Wenhong thought for a while, but didn't insist, and said to her: "I'll let Wan Deyi take you there, and bring a few more people with me." ”
Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you still afraid that she will not be good for me?" ”
Yu Wenhong said: "You can't help but be guarded, how could you and I have thought that she would be unfavorable to you in the past." ”
Jiang Yu didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of Zichen Palace.
When I arrived at Ning'an Palace, Ning'an Palace was as cold as a cold palace, there was not even a maid, and the apricot blossom tree planted in the courtyard had withered and was lifeless.
When he entered the inner hall, Cui Chongyi knelt on the ground, holding a Buddhist bead. There was a bodhisattva on the table in front of her, and she kept looking at the bodhisattva on the table.
She didn't have any beaded hairpins and green rings on her body, and she was only dressed in cloth clothes, and her long hair was just hanging down the back of her head. Everything in the hall that could hurt people was taken away, even the tea bowls and kettles used were wooden, and there was no one to serve by her side.
It makes no difference if she's in prison now.
Seeing Jiang Yu come in, Cui Chongyi turned her head to look at her, smiled privately, and said: "I heard that Niangniang had woken up two days earlier, and I once made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva, hoping that Niangniang would wake up as soon as possible." Now that you have fulfilled your wish, you will repay your wish in front of the Bodhisattva today. ”
Jiang Yu said to Wan Deyi and Gu Yu and the others beside him: "You guys go out first, and I'll talk to Cui's alone." ”
Wan smug called out disapprovingly: "Niangniang......"
Jiang Yu said: "You have cleaned up the room so cleanly, are you still afraid that she will be unfavorable to me? ”
Wan said yes to this, then led the people out and closed the door. But he didn't dare to go far, so he stayed outside the door, and if something happened inside, he could rush in immediately.
Inside the house, Jiang Yu turned around and observed the house, only to find that this room was really plain and pitiful, completely different from before.
Cui Chongyi also stood up and said, "I wanted to entertain Niangniang, but I couldn't find anything in the house, so I could only ask Niangniang not to blame." ”
Jiang Yu finally stood side by side with her in front of the Bodhisattva, sighed and said, "When I came, I had a stomach full of words in my heart, I wanted to scold you, and I wanted to question you. As a result, when it really came to you, I felt that I couldn't say a word of these words. ”
Cui Chongyi said: "Yes, I guess Niangniang will come to see me, before that, I also thought of a thousand words to say to Niangniang." But I really saw Niangniang, but I found that I couldn't say a word. Say I'm sorry, it seems to be a little too hypocritical. ”
Jiang Yu asked: "Why, why did you back then? You know that I really regarded you as my closest friend and sister back then, but you betrayed the friendship between us." You know that Meng Yuyu is a knot between me and the emperor, and you know that as long as it is this name, it is enough to disrupt me. You took advantage of the knot and dug a trap for me. ”
"Why, I also want to know why. Cui Chongyi covered her face with both hands, tears seeped out of her fingers, and even through her face, she could still see her shame and self-shame.
She continued: "In the past three years, I have often asked myself why. Mother is so good to me, and I, and I want to hurt you. Speaking of which, it can only be said that it is a ghost's mind. Because I'm in love with someone I shouldn't be in love with, because I want to stay with him, because I'm jealous...... These reasons have made me irreparably wrong with you, and I have nothing to defend myself. In the past three years, I have watched the emperor suffer, and I am also in pain. I pray every day in front of the Bodhisattva, that you will wake up soon, and for this reason I am willing to go to the immeasurable hell and the fire and oil pot every day to forgive my sins. ”
She smiled and said, "Now that I finally see my mother wake up safe and sound, I'm very happy, really happy." Even if my mother wants to give me the death penalty now, I deserve it, and I have no complaints. It's just, it's just...... Please believe me, even if I am fascinated for a while, but I never thought of killing my mother. Even three years ago, I just wanted you to leave the palace......"
Jiang Yu said: "I believe in you." ”
Cui Chongyi looked at her, smiled with tears in her eyes and asked, "Really?"
Jiang Yu said: "That day in Jiaolan Palace, I said that I wanted to go back, but you didn't stop me, maybe I already regretted it in my heart." It's just that a broken mirror has no chance of being intact. Between us, it is no longer possible to be the same as before. ”
Jiang Yu suddenly felt that he was wrong today, even if he came, what would he do.
She raised her feet and walked out the door, saying as she went: "We are no longer friends, and we will not be friends, I don't want to see you in the future, so you can do it yourself." ”
Cui Chongyi turned around with tears in her eyes and choked up, "Please believe ......"
Jiang Yu stopped and listened to her choked up: "Please believe that I once had a sincere relationship with you, and I am really grateful for the warmth I received from you." ”
Jiang Yu didn't say anything, and continued to raise his feet and walk out.
The door was opened, and Wan Shengyi outside the door bowed to her and said, "Niangniang." ”
Jiang Yu nodded, and then walked out, the door behind him was closed again, and Jiang Yu left without looking back.
Cui Chongyi looked at the door that was closed again, and finally let out a cry, and then slowly knelt on the ground, saying over and over again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
By the time Jiang Yu returned to Zichen Palace, Yuwending had already woken up, and he was squatting beside Yuwenhong at this time to lose his temper, thinking that his father had deliberately made his mother disappear in order to prevent him from seeing his mother, so he was very unhappy.
Yu Wenhong was in a good mood at this time, and he was also in the mood to coax his son, like Yu Wending explained that he didn't deliberately make your mother disappear, and your mother will come back soon, and at the same time made a wish for his son to have a basket, including allowing him to raise a dog in the palace. But despite this, it still didn't make Yuwending happy.
It wasn't until he saw Jiang Yu come back that Yu Wending smiled, shouting "Queen Mother" and pounced on him with a smile.
Jiang Yu hugged him with a smile, kissed him hard, and asked, "Why, I miss my mother after not seeing him for a while?"
Yu Wending nodded vigorously and said, "When I woke up, you were gone, and I thought my father had lost you again." After thinking about it, he nodded his head very seriously and said, "I have decided, I will not take a nap in the future, I want to watch the queen mother." ”
Yuwenhong was afraid that she would feel too heavy holding Yuwending, and wanted to take Yuwending over, but Yuwending hugged Jiang Yu's neck, turned his head and glared at Yuwenhong viciously with his cheeks, as if he was like him if he separated him from his mother.
Jiang Yu said: "It's okay, he's very light, I'll hold him." I didn't hold him well before, so I should hug him a little more now. ”
Yu Wenhong asked, "Have you seen the Cui family?"
Jiang Yu nodded, "um", and said by the way: "There is just something about the Cui family, I want to beg the emperor." ”
Yu Wenhong asked, "What's the matter?"
In the evening, Gu Yu led people to Ning'an Palace again, and Cui Chongyi saw the palace maid behind her holding a glass of wine.
Cui Chongyi was not surprised.
Gu Ying raised his eyebrows coldly and said, "Cui's, drink this glass of wine, hurry up and get on the road." After speaking, he motioned to the palace people to bring the wine over. Gu Yu doesn't have any good looks towards Cui Chongyi now.
Cui Chongyi had no grievances on his face, and he didn't feel unwilling, he accepted it very resignedly, and even felt relieved, knelt down, and said, "Thank you for the reward." After saying that, he picked up his glass and drank it all.
Gu Yu did not leave in a hurry immediately after delivering the wine, but stood in the house and waited. After a while, Cui Chongyi suddenly felt a slight pain in her chest, and hurriedly covered her chest, and then she spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then she closed her eyes and fell to the ground.
Before losing consciousness, her only thought was that the mother probably still had good thoughts about her, this wine was not painful after drinking, she could still be so calm before she died, she was very satisfied, and then she closed her eyes peacefully.
