I once asked Senior Sister Nine a word. I asked her how much time she would give to a couple of lovers to make the best memories before breaking them up. I still remember that after hearing my question, Senior Sister Jiu looked up at the unchanged heaven in the Heavenly Court, and said very seriously: "If it were me...... The shortest is less than half a year, and the longest is no more than three years. ”

And now Su Yue has been by Song Linyuan's side for more than two years, and there are not a few good memories left, Song Linyuan is also gradually handing over the military power in his hands to Song Yi, and everything is based on his opinion, and he can realize what he said in the pear forest that day, but according to the routine of the ninth senior sister, at this time, it is time. Sure enough, this idea didn't last long in my heart, and then it changed again.

But maybe this world is inherently incomplete, and God can't see people or things that are too complete, and when he sees it, he will break it.

It was a summer day, and the two of them had nothing to do, so they sat in the pavilion to enjoy the shade. Su Yue looked at the chessboard on the table and pondered quietly, the chess pieces on the chessboard were distinct, and they were arranged in the style she had seen in a chess book.

Song Linyuan held a book and sat next to her, seeing that the white child in her hand had stayed for a long time, he seemed to inadvertently glance at the chess game, and pointed casually: "Here." ”

Su Yue subconsciously looked at the position he was pointing to, and then she was stunned, an angry look gradually appeared on her face, she turned her head and glared at him, obviously in an angry tone, but it made people hear a little rejection and ushered in: "Don't worry about it!"

Seeing this, Song Linyuan laughed a few times. I was about to turn my head to read a book, and suddenly felt some discomfort in my throat, so I coughed a few times, and then this cough was out of control, the sound became louder and louder, and it became more and more heartbreaking, as if I wanted to cough out my lungs.

Su Yue put down the chess pieces in her hand and looked at him with some concern: "What's the matter, do you want to invite the imperial doctor to take a look?"

Song Linyuan put down the hand that was clenched into a fist in front of his mouth, glanced at it casually, and then quietly hid his hand in his sleeve and slowly put it behind his back. He smiled nonchalantly, "It's nothing." I slept late yesterday to deal with affairs, and I was just a little tired, so don't worry. ”

Su Yue is also a cheerful person, looking at him and nodding: "That's good." After saying that, he didn't doubt him, so he went to ponder the chess game again.

Song Linyuan looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and after seeing that she turned her head and stopped looking at him, the smile on the corner of her mouth stiffened, and then slowly faded. He looked at the scroll in his hand, his eyes were dark and deep, and in the unfathomable that seemed to be bottomless, there was a strange tide, more and more intense, faster and faster, and finally submerged into the endless abyss.

I stood aside and silently watched his hand hidden in his sleeve. Just now, he seemed to inadvertently hide his hand in his sleeve in front of Su Yue, but I could clearly see that there was a little red on the slender fingers.

That's blood.

He coughed up blood, but kept it from Su Yue, pretending to be casual in front of her, not letting her worry. I think this is a very good person, he deserves to be treated like this by Su Yue, he should have a good life, he will fulfill his wish, and one day he will return to the mountains and forests to live the most ordinary and simple life with Su Yue. Such a simple thing should have been easy to achieve, but fate did not treat him kindly.

Although he is the marquis who holds great power to assist the emperor, and holds the life and death of tens of millions of people in his hands, it is only a matter of thought whether the people of the world are miserable or prosperous and stable, but no matter how he is, he is powerless to control his life and death.

That night, Song Linyuan secretly summoned Imperial Doctor Xu, who was promoted by him in the Tai Hospital, and didn't even let Su Yue know.

Song Linyuan thought that he was just too tired as he said this time, but when Imperial Doctor Xu finished diagnosing his pulse, he leaned over and knelt in front of him with a sad expression, and said, "Master Hou, forgive your ...... There's nothing you can do!"

Song Linyuan felt as if his heart had paused, but he still suppressed his emotions and asked calmly, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Imperial Physician Xu saluted him before standing up, but he was still half-bent over: "Master Hou, you have been poisoned." ”

He was stunned: "Poisoning?

Imperial Physician Xu sighed and shook his head: "This poison is called Colorless Dispersion, which is transmitted from the southern Xinjiang area, and it is not very toxic, but it is colorless and tasteless, and the incubation period is long, even if it is eaten by mistake, it is difficult to detect." But if you take it continuously, it will add up to a lot, and let the poison penetrate deep into the bone marrow, then there will be no way to recover. And looking at Hou Ye's pulse, the poison has already penetrated deep into his heart, this poison ......" he paused, and said softly, "I'm afraid it is...... It's been at least two years. ”

Imperial Physician Xu's words exploded in his mind like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Song Linyuan's body stiffened, and his clenched fists tightened, but he finally let go. He lowered his head, his eyes fell on the ring-shaped jade pendant hanging from his waist, he was silent for a long time, and then bowed his head slightly: "Got it, Imperial Doctor Xu, I'm tired of you." Today's incident, please keep it confidential and don't tell anyone about it. ”

Imperial Physician Xu saluted him: "Yes." The lower officials should be tight-lipped. ”

Song Linyuan held his forehead and closed his eyes: "Let's go down first." ”

Imperial Physician Xu lowered his head and responded "yes", packed his things and was about to go out, but was stopped by Song Linyuan.

"Wait. Imperial Physician Xu stopped and turned around, only to see him sitting in the shadows falling from the room, unable to see clearly, "At most...... How many days are left?"

Imperial Physician Xu was stunned, thought for a moment, and replied: "If it is combined with medicine for conditioning, at most...... There is still half a year. But after three months, Hou Ye will feel that his five senses are gradually lost, accompanied by coughing, until half a year later...... Coughing up blood and dying. ”
