282. Embarrassed Zuo Yu II.
Squeak...... Again.
The door of the courtyard gate room was opened twice, and the silence was so clear that even the caution of the person who pushed the door could be clearly felt.
In the dark night, there was only a lamp in the hand of the palace maid, the wind blew, flickering and dimming, and the candle flame could be heard crackling and burning.
Gao Wuyong stood under the steps outside the door, his hands hanging down his legs and his head lowered, his voice fell for a long time, and he didn't respond, still standing like that, unable to see his expression clearly. At this time, Yinxiang actually appeared in the palace and walked closer to see Yinzhen standing beside me.
I also turned my head to look over, only to open my mouth before the sound came out, and I was stunned. Closing his eyes, he hugged him and put his head on his shoulder.
This kick was strong, I was afraid that Gao Wuyong's age couldn't stand it, but I didn't hear a snort, and fell to the ground on my back, very heavy.
"Give the person who came a horse, and pass on my will to summon the emperor's fourteenth brother to gallop to Beijing. If I can't see anyone before dawn, let Li Rubai come to see him. ”
His anger, I have seen before, his forbearance, more than once, this time, the burst of anger is afraid that no one can bear it. His sorrow, his pain, and even the unspeakable sorrow and guilt in his heart were all vented to his trembling limbs with this hoarse roar.
"Yinzhen. "I tried to hold him, but I was still shivering, I don't know if it was him, or myself, I could barely stand on my feet.
I don't know who the deputy general of the Santun camp is, so bold, the emperor's ministry also dares to doubt it, and even detains the guards. No wonder people say that the king of Hades is better than a little ghost, and the high-spirited general king back then couldn't return to Beijing because of a stubborn and stupid man who didn't open his eyes. Li Rubai is a serious official, but I am afraid that his earnestness will not be used at the right time, and the emperor's wrath will not be able to bear it.
"I'd better go and take the fourteenth brother back directly. ”
Yinxiang's voice came into his ears, helpless, and equally angry. After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate, and the dark back walked extremely fast.
Yinzhen helped me to stand up and hurried down the steps, and I was so scared that I was busy and held on, but he held his hand tightly and clenched it tightly, and urgently called to stop it, "You go to the old sixteen house, let him go, you go back and rest." ”
I heard a sound of hello in the darkness, and the door rang again, and the silence returned.
The inner room was still a dim small lamp, and Concubine De was lying on the bed and sleeping very unsteadily, and her face was even paler. The rapid wheezing became more and more severe, and after coughing a few times, the medicine that had just been fed flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and the light brown juice mixed with white, like foam.
I sat on the pillow and supported my back hard, and Yinzhen pulled her to lean on her body and sit up reluctantly. After smoothing his chest for a while, his breathing was a little steady, but he was still panting, but he was a little less tired of desperately pouring his breath.
Yinzhen's hand rubbed along her arm a few times, landed on the back of her hand that was flat on the quilt, sat down along the edge of the bed, and lowered her head to call Eniang. As if she had a sense, she suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him, without blinking.
"Yinzhen ......"
Concubine De only screamed and coughed again. I wiped my lips with a handkerchief a few times, grabbed it quickly in surprise, wiped the corners of my mouth and took my hand behind me and quietly rubbed my wet thumb.
"The fourteenth brother is on the way, E-Niang can rest assured, and he will be back soon. You sleep and wake up and you'll see. ”
"Yinzhen ......"
This voice was more urgent, and he took a long breath before he exhaled for a long time.
Yin Zhen raised his head and moved forward, leaned in front of her, and gently stroked his chest with his palm, but his eyes narrowed, as if he had dyed a smile on his face and called his mother, making this dim corner brighter.
"Fourteen...... I won't come, and I can't wait, you Emperor Ama...... Call me. ”
"E-niang!"
With those unstoppable coughs, the hands holding each other were blue and white, and the knuckles rattled.
I turned my head and looked at the red plum in the snow dyed on the veil at the back of my skirt, Yinzhen shouted in fear, and those petals suddenly spread out, gradually blurring as the wind and snow drifted in front of me.
"Really, I saw him, he was calling me. He complained about me, asked me why I didn't listen to him, and asked me...... For so many years, I have never said a word like this. Yinzhen, your brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you...... It's okay, he guards the tomb for your emperor Amma, so let him wait for me there. I always refuse to live in Ningshou Palace, I always have to wait for him to come back, I am afraid that he will not find me when he comes back, I am afraid that he will be sad and sad, I always want to see if he is okay, I am afraid that he will be wronged. Now, you don't have to stay with me anymore, and he doesn't have to work hard to come back, you two ......"
Concubine De said as she coughed and couldn't stop breathing heavily. I wiped my tears and kept caressing her chest and back, but I couldn't stop the white and blood spilling down the corners of my mouth, and Yinzhen couldn't stop it.
That sentence was clearly not finished, but it paused suddenly, and even the rapid gasping ringing in his ears stopped abruptly, leaving no afterword.
The face on my chest was still pale, and a trace of blood hung from the corner of my mouth was broken under Yinzhen's fingers. The deep eyes that always shone with wisdom in my memory were no longer visible, and the eye sockets were almost sunken in, and they naturally closed at this time. Only the palm of his hand was still on the side of Yinzhen's neck, and the tips of his thumbs rubbed against his face.
The familiar face engraved in my heart was fixed in front of my eyes, looking at her for a moment. Without the slightest warning, tears dripped silently, dripping straight to the well-trimmed nails, wetting the wrists, cuffs.
This May is a long month, and the days are like years. When life is gone, he never cares about it for a moment.
From the beginning of the month to the end of the month, from the elderly to the baby, this palace always ushers in new life, and sends some away, how many people are remembered by history, imprinted in the hearts of some people, how many people disappear in the long river of years, and go to the red dust in vain. Nian's newborn son only lived for less than a day, and now, Concubine De is also gone.
She didn't wait for Yinzhen in the end, and we failed to fulfill her wish. After a day and night, she still can't keep this bereaved concubine of the former dynasty who has been in the harem for decades.
Maybe, she will no longer be lonely and lonely, maybe, Kangxi still loves her, and maybe, they can all rest in peace. I only hope that after getting rid of the royal shackles of this life, and in the reincarnation of reincarnation, I will no longer be attached to the royal power and dignity, enjoy the warmth of the world, and leave no regrets.
Yin Zhen knelt in front of the bed and refused to leave, holding the hand that had already lost its temperature and stiffness and put it on his face.
Yonghe Palace, like a corner forgotten by summer, is bleak and desolate.
I don't know how long it took, the candle flame went out, and after a long time, the sun shone into the room, turning from golden yellow to orange red, and I couldn't feel a trace of warmth.
The door slammed loudly, and the window paper shook like a strong wind.
Yinzhen is back...... It's been a long time since I've seen him, since the war. At that time, he was still like a soldier, full of ambition and loyalty to the country, and now, he still has a beard, but he is so chaotic that he has no rules, his face is frighteningly white, and his eyes are bloodshot.
Yinxiang followed all the way in, carefully holding on to it but still staggering, and was brought to his knees in front of the bed by him. Eniang cried fiercely, like a child, more like Yinzhen who cried bitterly on Eniang last night.
I've cried, I've shouted, and it's dead silence again.
The two brothers knelt side by side, neither of them looking up at the other.
Yinzhen's hand was slapped to the side of the bed with a snap, and the muffled bump startled my heart, and in an instant, Yinzhen had already pulled his collar and stood up and pushed back.
"Fourteen, let go. ”
I tried to stand up but shook to the ground and nearly fell back. Yinxiang rushed over to hold him, but was pushed away by Yinzhen regardless of it, as if he was going crazy.
I knelt for a day and a night, I couldn't stand steadily, I was obviously sore and numb, and I didn't feel conscious, and there was no place in my body that seemed to belong to me.
Yin Zhen kept shaking and retreating, and was pushed by him to the cabinet placed in the corner at the end of the bed, and he could almost hear the bones screaming.
"That's how you take care of E-Niang, that's how you take care of E-Niang!"
The roar was like thunder outside the window, and it shook my ears and made my ears buzz. His anger and sorrow turned into a roar, like the artillery fire on the battlefield, all directed at his fellow brothers.
Yinzhen leaned there, not saying a word, letting him pull and shake constantly, and his bloodshot eyes did not move away from the bed.
"You speak! You have to give me an explanation today, why do you take care of E-Niang like this! How can you!"
"Yinzhen!" I rushed over and fell on Yinzhen's back, grabbed his belt and barely stood up to be held by Yinxiang. The shoulder muscles under the palm were tense, and they clamped Yinzhen without relaxation, like the only two of them in this room.
"You let go of him, let go. I pushed desperately, pulling his clothes back, and heard two hoarse voices sound at the same time. One is Yinzhen, he called me by my name, very seriously, it seems that since the day I married him, I have rarely heard it for more than 30 years. The other voice was his younger brother, whining and complaining, "When I left, E-Niang was fine, fine...... Fourth sister-in-law, Eniang is gone, gone, I haven't even seen the last one...... Brother Thirteen and I didn't delay for a moment...... It's still late. ”
I leaned on Yinxiang, clutched his sleeve, and bit my lower lip to taste the blood. Turning her head to look at Concubine De, who was still lying on the bed as if she was asleep, her face was no joy, anger and sorrow, no resentment and unwillingness, no obsession and affection, her face was peaceful, and she ignored the world.
The weeping man was the son she had been thinking of, and he rushed back. He was once the fourteenth son of the Kangxi Dynasty, Yinzhen, and the famous general king who galloped on the battlefield, at this time, tears flowed in strings, rolling down from his eyes and wet his face, crying like a helpless child in front of his fourth brother, and he was inexhaustible in grievances.
This kind of grievance, Yinzhen doesn't have it. Yinzhen's sadness, he has a lot of it.
His father died, the state affairs are endless, and now his mother is newly dead, who among the brothers relieves his grief in his heart, and who keeps persecuting him, tomorrow, I am afraid that most of the people who will see jokes will relieve their depression. At this time, in front of his deceased mother, he was scolded and questioned by his own brother...... To whom he complains, to whom he asks.
The son wants to raise but does not wait, the regret of life, I have not seen the last face of my relatives, but when you watch your parents leave, but you are powerless to stop the arrangement of fate, the pain in your heart is indescribable.
These words circled in my heart, the same grievances, the same grievances, for him and for him, but I bit my lips and couldn't say half a word. The two brothers have long grown up, they don't understand, they don't know each other, but their hearts hurt too much, and both of them hurt.
"Fourteen ......"
Turning his head to look at Yinzhen who suddenly made a sound, he heard Yinzhen's weak "That's it", the hands just let go of the collar, and before he could get away, the person leaning on the cabinet had slid down to the ground, and his eyes that had not been closed for two days and one night were closed.
