Chapter 155: The Past Is Like Smoke
Shen Zixuan did not go back to the General's Mansion or to Fuyuanju, but went straight to the wine cellar and got drunk.
He wanted to save her, but something like this happened, and he didn't know how to face it......
It wasn't until the holy woman came and told him about Su Wanxi's current situation that he was full of vicissitudes of life, and walked towards Fuyuan House step by step, and met Shen Jingyuan in the bamboo forest of Fuyuan House......
It was dark in the early morning, and when Su Wanxi woke up, Shen Jingyuan was no longer around. The whole room was empty, and the feeling of loneliness hit her, making her feel extremely suffocated.
"Someone!" Su Wanxi called out the door.
"Master. The slave is here. Qiulai, who was waiting outside the house, heard Su Wanxi's voice and hurriedly came in.
"What about the emperor?" asked Su Wanxi.
Qiulai replied: "The emperor went to the early court very early, and ordered the slave and maid to be outside the room. ”
Su Wanxi was puzzled, didn't he say yesterday that he would stay in Fuhui all the time? Today, he went to the morning court without saying anything, there must be something to hide from her. If it was just to deal with government affairs, he could explain it to her directly, and she didn't want Shen Jingyuan to waste political affairs for her.
"Master, the emperor said that he will come back when he comes down. Qiu came to see Su Wanxi's thoughts and said softly.
Su Wanxi slowly got out of bed: "Hmm." Ruyun lately, how are you doing?" "Since that incident, Su Wanxi has never dared to see Ruyun again, she is still so young, she will definitely be frightened when she sees herself like this. So he sent Ruyun to the General's Mansion and Shame Flower.
Qiu Lai said: "The general sent someone to say that the little princess cried a few days ago, but she has been much better recently." ”
Su Wanxi sighed, sad when she thought of her Ruyun. "Autumn comes, go and prepare some black paint. ”
"Master, you?" Qiulai looked at Su Wanxi suspiciously.
"Well, time is running out, Ruyun is my daughter after all, and I want to accompany her again in the last time. Su Wanxi said lightly, her eyes couldn't hide her sadness.
"Master, don't say that, you Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely get better!" Qiu Lai said with tears in his eyes.
Su Wanxi smiled indifferently, she knew better than anyone else what her own physical condition was, she had become more and more sleepy day by day recently, if it was before, she would have known the slightest movement beside the bed, but recently she didn't even notice Shen Jingyuan leaving. "Go ahead, help me prepare the paint. ”
Qiulai secretly wiped her tears: "Oh, the slave will go." ”
Shen Jingyuan said that he would come back after the next dynasty, but there was still no one until the afternoon.
Su Wanxi was alone in the middle of the hibiscus, asked Qiu Lai to go to the East Palace to get the white jade pipa, and then sat in the pavilion by the lotus pond and stroked the pipa.
It was late autumn, and all the flowers and leaves in the lotus pond withered, revealing the water of the pond, which was full of chill. The sound of the pipa is exceptionally clear, and everywhere the music goes, it seems that everything is about to recover. A pool of dead leaves is swaying in the autumn wind, and a pool of lotus flowers like fire will be blown out in the next moment.
Shen Jingyuan stopped not far away, looking at Su Wanxi in a long white dress in the pavilion, her green silk was like a waterfall, a few strands of broken hair were flying in the wind through her eyebrows, her eyes were like stars, flashing with a faint light, her thin lips were like buds, and she had a little charm that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. The sound of the lute brought his thoughts back many years ago. At that time, she was also like this, sitting in a pavilion and playing the pipa alone.
At that time, she played the pipa for a day, just to let herself look at her more. But...... Shen Jingyuan sighed, if at that time, he could walk towards her with the same mood as now, and then hug her tightly, then everything would be different now. If she had been Bai Wuxue all along, would she not have this curse?
After Su Wanxi finished playing the song, she raised her head to find that Shen Jingyuan was standing in the corridor opposite and staring at her.
"Jing Yuan!" Su Wanxi called, put down the pipa and slowly got up.
Shen Jingyuan came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted her with a smile.
"Wanxi, your hair?" Shen Jingyuan looked at Su Wanxi in surprise, and smelled a faint smell of ink.
Su Wanxi chuckled: "How is it? Does it look the same as before?"
Shen Jingyuan looked at Su Wanxi carefully, nodded and said, "Hmm." But her face was much haggard, and he was reluctant to tell the truth.
"I was scared of it, so I thought of a way to do it. I've already sent someone to pick up Ruyun, and I guess I'll be there later. Su Wanxi said happily.
"Wanxi. Shen Jingyuan hurriedly called her name.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" asked Su Wanxi.
Shen Jingyuan's eyes were gentle, and he said with shallow guilt on his face: "Tomorrow, we will leave." ”
"Leave?" Su Wanxi thought she had misheard.
"Well, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Shen Jingyuan said firmly, holding Su Wanxi's hand.
"Where are you going? A huge Dongyang, what do you want the people of the world to do?" Su Wanxi asked Shen Jingyuan, he really wanted to take himself away, but he was the king of a country, how could he abandon the people of Dawn and take him away.
"Don't worry. Shen Jingyuan said softly, "I've already made all the arrangements." ”
Su Wan looked at Shen Jingyuan puzzled.
Shen Jingyuan showed a breezy smile and said slowly: "Today, I have already announced my abdication, and the fifth prince Shen Zixuan will be enthroned immediately. ”
Su Wanxi was shocked when she heard this: "You...... This ...... "Everything came too suddenly, Su Wanxi couldn't believe it was true."
"Tomorrow, I will take you out of the palace to find the rest of the two-flavor medicines!" Shen Jingyuan said firmly.
"No, Jing Yuan. Su Wanxi burst into tears, "Don't be like this, don't be like this......" She knew that she didn't have long to live, how could she let him give up the country to accompany her.
"Wanxi!" Shen Jingyuan looked directly at her and hugged her into his arms, "I must save you!"
Su Wanxi burst into tears: "We are in the palace, I am very happy, don't risk it for me......"
"Believe me! Believe me!" Shen Jingyuan said over and over again, as if he was speaking to himself.
"Your Majesty, master, the princess is here. "In the distance, autumn comes to say.
Shen Jingyuan let go of Su Wanxi, wiped her tears for her and said, "Follow me tomorrow, find the two flavors of medicine, and we will come back." As for Yun'er...... Shen Jingyuan's eyes were also a little sad, "Let her be in the General's Mansion first, if this curse is not unlocked, then she will also walk the same path as you, whether it is for you or for Yun'er, I must find those two flavors of medicine!"
Su Wanxi's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle when she heard this, yes, even if she was not afraid of the coming parting, but there was still Ruyun...... Those two flavors of medicine, and I don't know how many years I have to look for it, if she can really go out of the palace to find medicine, it can be regarded as the last thing she did for Ruyun as a mother......
"Father, mother!" Ruyun's milk voice called loudly, with a little crying.
"Ruyun!" Su Wanxi called excitedly, and hurriedly walked towards Ruyun.
"Mother~" Ruyun cried.
Su Wanxi hugged Ruyun tightly: "Good, my mother is here, my mother is here." She hugged Ruyun tightly, trying to keep the feeling she had now, the feeling of holding her daughter.
"Why didn't they let me enter the palace, why did they ......" Ruyun cried and asked.
Shen Jingyuan also stepped forward: "Yun'er is a big girl, why are you still crying?" Shen Jingyuan touched Ruyun's head and continued, "My father and mother just want to see if you want us, but Xiao Yun'er relies on us so much." ”
Ruyun looked at Shen Jingyuan in disbelief: "But, but they said that my mother was sick......
Su Wanxi smiled with tears in her eyes: "Look, isn't my mother good? That's all a lie made up by my father, didn't my mother take you back?"
Ruyun sniffed, and hugged Su Wanxi's neck tightly with both hands: "Don't leave Yun'er anymore, Yun'er is afraid of ......"
Shen Jingyuan twisted his eyebrows and said, "Yun'er, you are already three years old, you are no longer a child, how can you always rely on your father and mother?"
Ruyun pouted: "Yun'er wants to be by your side for the rest of your life!"
Shen Jingyuan and Su Wanxi's hearts trembled slightly when they heard this, and Su Wanxi hugged Ruyun and went to the main hall: "Okay, okay, it's okay to come back without saying anything, let's go, my mother will make you something to eat!"
"Okay!" Ruyun smiled happily.
Shen Jingyuan looked at the mother and daughter and sighed slightly, he was reluctant to leave, but now Su Wanxi is in danger, he must take her away, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will never give up, if it is...... If he really couldn't find the two medicines, then he would rather go with her.
The hibiscus is in the center, the candlelight is flickering, and every inch of the air is filled with a warm atmosphere.
Ruyun slept between Shen Jingyuan and Su Wanxi, and her little face had already fallen asleep.
"Graceful, ...... Ming"
Su Wanxi stretched out her hand and gently put it on Shen Jingyuan's lips, interrupting his words.
"We're here, looking for medicine, we can send more people. I think that no matter what the final outcome is, at least for this time, our family will never be separated again. Su Wanxi said softly, looking at Ruyun, afraid of waking her up.
Shen Jingyuan stretched out his hand and held her hand in the palm of his hand, and said in a low voice: "Wanxi, believe me, we will definitely find a way to unravel the curse, we still have time, even if we can't find the medicine, I can take you to visit famous doctors, and we will always find a way!" He didn't believe it, he didn't believe that there was no way to continue life except to unravel the curse.
Su Wanxi smiled shallowly, and her eyes were shining: "It is enough to have you and Ruyun by my side in the last days, I don't want to leave regrets in this life, Jing Yuan, this is my last wish......"
Shen Jingyuan wanted to speak and stopped, took a deep breath, and replied with difficulty: "Good ......" Now that Shen Jingyuan has abdicated, even if he does not leave the palace, he can still guard Su Wanxi's side day and night, but in his heart, every minute and every second is tormented, watching her life pass, he can't do anything, he would rather be cursed by himself now, and would rather all disasters be fought by himself......
