Chapter 56: The Ice Heart Opens for You (2)

She leaned back in her chair in a drowsy state, like an old man on the verge of death, and looked at her for a long time before she was dull enough to recognize her: "Xuan? Is that you? ”

Xuanlu slowly walked to her and sat down, and said softly, "It's me, I'm coming to see you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chu Yunxi, who hadn't cried for a long time, suddenly saw her, her eyes wet with tears, and said with difficulty: "I never thought that you would come to see me before you died." Thank you for forgiving me. ”

Ju Lu was full of smiles and tears: "I don't know what to call you." Let's call you a son, I met Biyin on the street a few days ago, and I couldn't help but come forward to ask about your current situation, only to know that you have not had a good time these years. She held her hand lovingly, "I didn't expect you to be killed like this." ”

Chu Yunxi's throat hurt like a knife every time she said a word, although she cried, she always smiled, shook her head and said: "But seeing you today is the happiest thing for me these days, seeing that your face is still the same, I think you are doing well." ”

Her eyes stared at him tightly, and she said heavily, "I'm fine, especially to see you. As she spoke, hot tears dripped down her eyes, and she smiled contentedly.

She suddenly understood, choked up and speechless, she was not the only one who was played by fate.

Yu Yu smiled happily and said, "You don't owe me, so how can you forgive." ”

The more she was like this, the more Chu Yunxi felt heartache, and she said in a dumb voice: "I regret too many things in my life, although it is a last resort to deceive you, but it is my sin." ”

Yu Yu smiled with relief, bowed his head and said, "I don't blame you, you have brought me the best memories in this life, which I will never forget in my life." Do you understand what I mean? ”

Chu Yunxi sighed and said: "Life is a lover, and this hatred has nothing to do with the wind and the moon. ”

She smiled, her cheeks bloomed with a blush, and she leaned quietly into her weak arms, as if she had the greatest happiness in her life.

How can she not understand how resentment can be rivaled by lovesickness, whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is old or young, whether it is hatred or kinship, it is just the opinion of the common people. How can a thing of love be restrained by mundane things, common opinions, and mundane things?

She loves her respect, loves her pity, loves her saving grace, loves her love and promise, what does this have to do with men and women, what does this have to do with the world's common opinions, she just needs that innocent relationship to warm her life.

Chu Yunxi had mixed tastes, gently stroked her green silk, and sighed unconsciously: "Pity that there are so many idiots I have met in my life: Mengying, Qingxu, Siyu, eldest brother, mother, uncle, each of them was born for love and died for love. It's better to be so affectionate than to be ruthless. In fact, as long as there is love in your heart, why care about the ending, whether you stay together or not, whether you are happy or not, whether you are white or not, what is the matter. ”

She turned to look at Xuan Xuan: "If you really can't let go of Chu Changgeng, put him in your heart." But don't indulge in it and give up everything. He is a wonderful apparition, and when you are in trouble, desperate and sad, if he can soothe your heart, it is my merit. ”

With tears in her eyes, her smile was sad: "No, this is not a phantom, you are right in front of my eyes now." ”

She loves Chu Changgeng and Chu Yunxi, it is not a phantom, it is not her fantasy, it is the love that once really appeared in her life and will never disappear.

Ju Xuan's eyes turned to the red wedding dress on the table, she reached out and picked it up, and the golden embroidered butterflies on the wedding dress fell on the graceful and luxurious peony, dazzling. She brushed the golden butterfly on the dress with both hands, as if she wanted to hold it in her hands, she held the wedding dress tightly in front of her chest, and tears flowed: "I didn't expect that I could wear such a beautiful wedding dress in my lifetime." ”

Suddenly, Chu Yunxi came to his senses, and today he came not just to visit her, but to marry on her behalf!

"Nope! She opened her mouth in shock, she hooked her arms with her five fingers, gritted her teeth and sat up: "Don't be stupid, it's a capital crime." ”

She was immersed in the red joy of the wedding dress, and didn't seem to hear her words. She raised her hand ruthlessly and slapped her, screaming: "You haven't woken up yet, there is no such person as Chu Changgeng in this world, and you still have to deceive yourself for as long as you want." ”

She didn't have the strength in her hands, so the blow wasn't heavy, and she didn't feel pain. She accidentally dropped a box of pearls to the ground, and the pearls scattered, and one by one fell to the ground, like a piece of crystal jade shattering on the ground, smashing out a sad tone.

The guards outside heard the movement and questioned loudly, Chu Yunxi was busy shouting to stop her confused behavior, but she covered her mouth first and replied, "It's okay, the needle box has fallen, I'll pick it up." ”

Chu Yunxi was weak and weak, and he couldn't make a high note, so he could only look at her eyes with fearful eyes, hoping to see a trace of remorse in her eyes. But she always smiled with tears in her eyes, and her face was full of joy, as if she was not going to die but really married.

She took off the scarf around her neck and wrapped half of Chu Yunxi's face tightly, so that she couldn't open her mouth to speak, and took off her coat again, dressed her neatly, put on a thick wool cloak, put on a hood, and only exposed the upper half of her face.

Chu Yunxi's whole body was sour and numb, his whole body was weak, and he could almost only be at the mercy of others. Before she could give a secret signal to Biyin outside the door, she whispered into her ear and said, "Childe, I'm going to talk to Yongjue, I have dedicated my heart with my life, and I have no regrets." Don't think of me, my spirit will always follow you. ”

Her tears fell on her ears one after another, like the winter sun shining in her ears, revealing warmth in the cold. Unable to resist, she was almost dragged away by Biyin's arm.

She looked back and saw that she was putting a dazzling golden crown on her head, the shackles of death wrapped in brilliant gold.

The heavy golden crown lowered her head slightly, her small cherry lips rose slightly, bending a graceful arc, and her cheeks were scarlet and faint, like a sunset. She was holding her wedding dress, which was her talisman, but she seemed to be as shy and content as a girl to be married. That kind of warm smile is not frightening even if it is accompanied by death, only calm beauty, even after countless days and nights, whenever the last smile of her life comes to her heart, she can never forget that eternal and moving beauty.

I will die with happiness in my arms. Ju Huang looked back at her, and her heart echoed silently, if there is really a time, I don't want to be reincarnated, I just want to be a butterfly, even if I only have a short life like an epiphany, I want to be free to be by your side.

The ten-mile long pavilion is full of frost, and the green silk and white hair are all over the year.

There is no regret in this life, and there is a fate in the next life.

The smile is like a flower, and the face is like water.

The love is thick and faint, and the Pengshan dance is free.

The heartbroken Chu Yunxi completely gave up the last bit of pitiful expectation, she couldn't help but accept the fact that she was a plague god, she never understood why these people around her wanted to die for her without hesitation. To her, love seems to be heavier than hate, and those who hurt her hurt her body, but they can't break her heart, and only the loved ones can cut her liver and intestines.

She was sent to Geng Gong's carriage by Biyin, and when she saw Geng Gong, her heart became more and more cold. Geng Gong also understood her worries, and deliberately whispered: "Fourth Miss, I am to repay the general's life-saving kindness, and I will send you back to Shunan despite all difficulties, you can rest assured, the general does not know, I gave up my life to protect you." ”

Hearing this, Chu Yunxi was a little disheartened, but when Biyin's hand gradually slipped from her hand, she suddenly understood that today she had lost not only Xuan, but also these two relatives who had been by her side since childhood. At this moment, how she longed for the existence of the Acacia Sword in her hand, so that she could pick it up immediately and quickly cut off all the suffering.

She couldn't say it, she desperately grabbed Biyin's hand and refused to let go, Biyin finally cried: "Master, I used to be very afraid of death, very greedy, and I also hurt you, I don't understand the right and wrong in this world, and I don't care about anyone." But you and your wife are really good to us, I have no relatives, I have been sold to be a subordinate since I was a child, and I have never tasted the taste of being pampered and hurt. But you and Miss Lin have always protected us, although you are younger than me, I think you take care of me more. Don't be sad, this is all our debt to you, so is Lu Yan, and so is the dead Qing Chun, we will never regret it. She smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Let's stay with Miss Xuan, so that we can hide it from the prince." It's a pity that I didn't have time to say goodbye to Miss Lin, master, if you can see her again one day, remember to remind her, she broke her promise again, and said that I couldn't eat the sugar fried chestnuts and osmanthus candy I bought. ”

Chu Yunxi cried sadly, his voice was blocked in the scarf, and there was only a whining sound. Bi Yin was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the guards, so she quickly pulled out her hand and got out of the car, and when she was leaving, she glanced at Geng Gong, didn't say anything, just wiped her tears, turned around and ran back to the back door.

Geng Gong watched her enter, his heart also became colic, and tears kept churning, and he was forced to stop in his eyes. With red eyes, he drove away in the carriage. He was stunned, he couldn't erase her sad eyes in front of him, he knew that life was separated in a blink of an eye, and he should treat the people around him more kindly. He looked at the bleak winter sun, and felt that everything in this world had become a white expanse, and he didn't feel hatred, only infinite compassion and sorrow.

The time was approaching the auspicious time, and Shi Jiaheng, who had already brought the bride into the house, was wearing a red auspicious dress, sitting in the back hall, waiting for the firecrackers in the front hall to go out to worship. He sat in a daze, without a hint of pleasure, but with a blank face and a sad look between his eyebrows. He lowered his head and rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, he couldn't hear the commotion outside in his ears, and he didn't see half of the joy in front of him, and the deep melancholy locked his heart to death, after today, he probably won't have true joy again. All the meanings of his life in the second half of his life, in addition to taking on the mission of a soldier to protect his family and defend the country, are only left to pay off debts for others, his ego is gradually annihilated, and what remains is a fragmented soul that was dismembered by Bai Linglin and Chu Yunxi.

Mrs. Shi, who was busy welcoming guests in the front hall, also looked a little listless. Today, Shi Jiaheng got married, but his father was unable to return to his home to attend, which made him feel bad. He has not been in contact with his father for a long time, and he rarely receives even family letters, for fear that he will be accused of internal and external fornication by people with ulterior motives, and of collusion between the forbidden army and the frontier generals. After the death of Chu Yilian, there were officials in the court who said that the emperor was always silent or perfunctory and pressed to talk about it, but fortunately, Shi Jiaheng was cautious and cautious on weekdays, although he had a wide range of friends, his position was vague, ambiguous and neutral, and he rarely spoke radically.

Before the marriage, he discussed with his mother, and after the wedding, he sent her and his sister back to their hometown to reunite with his sister-in-law, and he would write a letter asking to return to the clouds to help his father and brother guard the frontier together, and at the same time he could leave Bai Linglin. He admitted that although he agreed to Chu Yunxi and promised Bai Linglin, he couldn't forgive himself for giving up Chu Yunxi so easily, although this was her request, it couldn't erase his judgment of his thin feelings. He will fulfill his responsibilities as a husband to Bai Linglin, but not immediately, he needs God to give him some more time to grieve, remember, forget and punish himself.

The maid at the door knocked on the door, Shi Jiaheng woke up, thinking that the time for the salute had come, so he shook his clothes and stood up, but the maid replied at the door, there was a girl from Fuchun, who claimed to be the old man of the son, and came to congratulate.

Shi Jiaheng thought it was Lin Risheng and his wife, and hurriedly went out to greet him, but he saw a beautiful girl in a pink shirt, standing at the door to greet him happily.

He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember her name, and smiled at her kindly: "Sorry girl, I can't remember your name for a while, who are you from Brother Lin's family?" ”

The girl's eyes flashed and she smiled: "The little girl is just a slave, and Shi Gongzi naturally doesn't remember it." The little girl is the maidservant next to Miss Chen Siyu, named Xiao Hongye. ”

Shi Jiaheng nodded and smiled, invited her into the house, and personally poured tea for her. She took the teacup in trepidation, and sat down again under his frequent politeness. He asked with concern about the current situation of Lin Risheng and his wife.

Xiao Hongye took a sip of tea and couldn't help but say happily: "Our young lady is pregnant. The two of them were overjoyed when they heard that Shi Chu's two families were married, and they originally planned to come to congratulate them in person, but it was inconvenient for the young lady to travel long distances now, and she couldn't do without her uncle. The two of you regretted that you could not attend your wedding with Miss Chu in person, and sent me to congratulate you on your wedding on their behalf and give you a gift. As she spoke, she put down the cup, solemnly took out a brocade box from the burden behind her, and offered it with both hands.

Shi Jiaheng heard that the two were happily married, and now they have added heirs, and they are envious. He smiled awkwardly, and didn't know how to explain it, so he felt slightly lonely and thanked: "Thank you Brother Lin and his wife!" The two of them are the great joy. I will instruct my subordinates to prepare a generous gift, and take it for me when you leave, and when the child is born, I will go to Fuchun to ask for a cup of wine to drink. ”

After speaking, he took the brocade box, opened it and took a look, only to see a piece of crystal clear like glass lying in the box, the center of the jade bi was smoky, there were fish patterns, exquisite. His sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help asking, "This is?" Could this be? ”

Xiao Hongye smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, Shi Gongzi, this is a congratulatory gift from Uncle Shi to you and Miss Chu. ”

Shi Jiaheng hurriedly put the lid of the brocade box on and said: "This congratulatory gift is too valuable, this is the treasure of the Chen family for several generations, how dare Shi accept it." ”

Xiao Hongye returned the brocade box to his hand and said firmly: "You must accept this gift." The young lady said that the legend of the sinking water to save people's lives was not made up by her, but it was true. This secret has been passed down from generation to generation by the descendants of the Chen family. The reason why there is a mist in the center of the jade is because there are two pieces of ice in the jade knot called the jade heart, which can bring the dead back to life. My uncle once diagnosed Miss Chu's pulse, Miss Chu was cold and weak, and if she gave birth after marriage, she would have to worry about her life. Therefore, they sent this thing, and when it was critical, Shi Gongzi only needed to break the jade from the middle and take out a piece of it under her administration, which would definitely keep the mother and child safe. ”

Shi Jiaheng listened carefully, and was grateful to Lin Risheng and his wife for their hard work, and thanked him repeatedly.

Xiao Hongye's face was full of light, and she kept smiling: "Miss and Uncle have long had the intention of transferring, but the last time they left in a hurry, they forgot about it." Today coincides with a two-day wedding, and it is even more grand to give this thing away. The slave and maid are here to congratulate the young lady and the aunt on the blossoming of the two flowers and the eternal union. ”

Shi Jiaheng took the brocade box into his arms, and smiled bitterly and wanted to explain: "Thank you Brother Lin and his wife for their kindness, I also thank you for Yunxi, it's just ......" Before he finished speaking, the guard at the door suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Childe, there is a will in the palace." ”

Shi Jiaheng was stunned, and Xiao Hongye saw the opportunity to get up and say goodbye. He sent her to the door, and when she was gone, he whispered to the guard, "Whose will is it?" ”

The guard clenched his fists and replied, "Is it Princess Huayang's will?" ”

Shi Jiaheng was stunned again, and said suspiciously, "Strange, why have I never heard the name of this princess in Chang'an all these years?" ”

The guard shook his head, apparently unaware. He was full of questions, and said, "Then go to the front and take the will." ”

The guard stretched out his hand and stopped: "The lieutenant has come here, he said that this will is for the new wife of the son, and it is inconvenient to read it in the front hall, and he also asked the prince to invite the wife out to listen to the order." ”

Shi Jiaheng became more and more puzzled, and he instructed the maid to ask Bai Linglin to move here.

Bai Linglin, who was wearing a heavy headdress, slowly entered the house with a solemn face under the support of the maid. Unexpectedly, she did not look happy, but was haggard and weak, sweating profusely, and her steps were unsteady, as if she had a serious illness.

Shi Jiaheng helped her sit down and asked her if she was unwell. She lowered her head and did not look at him, her lips pursed, as if she were in great pain.

The lieutenant in civilian clothes entered the house under the guidance of the guards, and Shi Jiaheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute. The lieutenant returned the salute and said with a smile on his face: "General Shi is polite." ”

As soon as his eyes turned in the room, he fell on Bai Linglin, who was dressed in a happy robe, and walked straight forward, and asked with a smile: "I think this is the new lady, Miss Bai Linglin." We have a message from Princess Huayang for you, please listen to the order. ”

Shi Jiaheng didn't understand what he meant, and didn't ask much, but replied on the side: "Neiko is unwell today, can you ask her to sit and listen to the order." ”

The lieutenant smiled good-naturedly: "It's okay." After the rest of the crowd had withdrawn, he continued, "Then our family will make a decree." ”

Saying that, he put on a serious face and said stiffly, "Miss Bai Linglin, this palace said to do it." The Criminal Department of the case of your murder of Yu Gu of the Hangzhou Garrison Division has begun to investigate, and it will be remanded for retrial soon, and the girl is also asked to suspend the wedding and enter the palace immediately, and explain the case clearly with the palace. ”

Shi Jiaheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After the lieutenant announced the decree, he said with a smile: "Miss Bai, the princess's will has been read out by our family, and I ask Miss to enter the palace with our family immediately." ”

Bai Linglin's face was buried in the shadow of the crown of her head, and she was silent for a long time before she opened her mouth and said, "No need, I killed Si Yugu." Please tell Her Royal Highness the Princess, there is no need to interrogate, and there is no need to investigate. I have a few words to say to Shi Gongzi, and I ask the adults to avoid it for a while, and after I finish speaking, I will go and confess my guilt. ”

"This ......" the lieutenant official's face showed hesitation, and asked in a kind tone: "Since Madame said so, our family is not easy to disobey, why don't we wait for a while, wait for the two of you to finish speaking, and then enter the palace with our family, but you are guilty or not, you are explaining to the princess by yourself, what do you think?" ”

Bai Linglin nodded and said, "It's over." ”

The lieutenant withdrew, and Shi Jiaheng hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Bai Linglin raised her head with difficulty, and wanted to grin and pull out a smile, but a mouthful of blood sprayed on Shi Jiaheng's chest.
