78. Lapse

"No...... Not anymore, will it? I gathered all my sadness, looked at Dai Qin who had no words, he was just a person who tried his best to enter the palace to help me, how could I vent all my resentment and sadness on his head, I cleaned up the tears on my face, and squeezed out a smile that was even more ugly than crying, "Thank you, thank you for ...... past few days"

Dai Chin interrupted me, "I'm sorry, I'm late. ”

I closed my eyes, even though I thought I was disheartened, hearing these words, it still hurt my heart, it was too late, what could it be? Is it too late to save the crescent moon?

"Hurry up and dispense medicine for Zhu'er."

"Yes." Dai Qin replied humbly, "Niangniang will call someone more reliable to come in, there is no one here." You'll also need to take your own medicine. ”

"Mine doesn't have to be rematched. The decoction of Zhu'er and Crescent Moon is boiled by me. ”

Dai Qin was stunned, and his hand paused to dispense the medicine, "If you are like this, how can I go out with confidence." ”

"Thank you for your concern."

Dai Qin finally stopped talking. When night came, I stayed by the bedside without blinking, looking at the unconscious Zhu'er for a while, and the weak crescent moon for a while, almost exhausted. In the middle of the night, Zhu'er finally woke up, "Ah, why did I lie down?" ”

I held her down, "Don't move, get a good rest." ”

Zhu'er stretched out a thin wrist, touched her forehead, licked her dry lips and said, "Niangniang, my head hurts so much, how is the princess?" ”

I said softly, "You have a fever, the doctor said that you are overworked, you have a wind, lie down for a few days, and take a few pairs of medicines." ”

Zhu'er suddenly felt a little touched, and tears flowed down her cheeks, "Niangniang, did I also have the plague?" I was stunned, not knowing how to answer her. Zhu'er said softly, "If that's the case, you leave me alone, move me out and send me to a small house to rest, and take care of the princess." ”

I shook my head, "Don't talk nonsense. Sleep fast. ”

Bead didn't want to, and stretched her neck out, "I want to see the princess." ”

She sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the crescent moon in the cradle, reached out and touched it, as if she couldn't believe it, "Mother, the princess has a fever." ”

"Really?!" I hurriedly held the crescent moon's little hand, and touched my forehead again, the tentacles not only did not seem to be as hot as the panic in the daytime, but a little cool, I put my face on the crescent moon's face, and I no longer felt the heat of the past few days, "The crescent moon is really feverish!" I was overjoyed, and stood up and said to Zhu'er.

Zhu'er's brows furrowed slowly, "No, Niangniang......"

My heart suddenly hung again, and when I looked at the crescent moon, I saw that her cheeks had changed from the abnormal crimson to pale, and the face of a baby less than a year old was generally fleshy, but the crescent moon was no longer innocent, and a pair of eyes were deeply sunken, and the paleness was obviously incompatible with her age. I was chilled, I couldn't believe it, I picked up the crescent moon, touched her snort, only to feel that the breath was getting weaker and weaker, I stretched out a hand and grabbed Zhu'er's arm, "Zhu'er, princess, what's wrong?!" ”

Zhu'er's tears fell like beads, "Niangniang, princess...... The princess is afraid that it will not work, so take advantage of the ...... Let's change her clothes now. ”

"What!!" I opened my mouth and hugged the crescent moon tightly. Turning around and looking at Zhu'er, she was already crying like a tearful person, "When I was young, I saw the children in my neighbor's house dying of poverty and hunger, and that's it, a little bit cold..."

"No, it can't be!" But Zhu'er has never said anything without faith, she and Bao'er love the crescent moon more than I do, and now that she says such a thing, all my hopes have been completely destroyed. I just hugged the crescent moon, like a crazy woman, and kept shaking my head and kept saying, "Impossible...... It couldn't be ......."

But I squeezed the crescent moon's hand, and I could clearly feel that the temperature was still dropping, I put my face on the crescent moon's face, trying to use my own temperature to warm her up again, "Crescent moon, baby, mother's heart, liver and baby meat, don't be like this, don't be like this, okay?" Tomorrow is dawn, my mother will take you out to bask in the sun and take you to see the little birds in the sky......"

I just hugged it, hugged it, and stuck to the crescent moon, Zhu'er couldn't care about her sick body, knelt on the ground and kept crying, begging, "Niangniang, you put down the princess quickly, and the slave maid will change her clothes." ”

"No, no, no one is allowed to change her clothes." There were no tears in my eyes, and I felt like I was having a nightmare, that everything in the dream should be over, that it was time for the crescent moon to wake up, that it was time to smile at me again, that her dimples were so cute, that her smile was so sweet, that she would not leave me like this, never.

"Ah!!h I suddenly let go of my throat and screamed, and shouted to Zhu'er in a panic, "Quick, come and touch the princess's snort, why is it gone?" ”

Zhu'er listened to my words, cried more and more, stretched out a trembling hand, under the tip of the crescent moon's nose, probed and probed, and only howled for a long time, "Niangniang, the princess is dead, it's time to mourn." ”

I knelt on the ground with a grunt, still holding the crescent moon tightly in my hand, raised my head to look at the beads of tears on my face, and laughed, "Why did you fool me?" ”

Zhu'er held back her tears and reached out to snatch the crescent moon from my hand, "Niangniang, the princess is dead!" If you don't change her clothes, you won't be able to wear them after a while. ”

"Why, why can't I wear it?" I had no more thoughts in my head, except that my hands were still under control, holding the crescent moon tightly, and not allowing Zhu'er to come and snatch it, like a puppet, muttering Zhu'er's last sentence in my mouth, "Why can't you wear it?" ”

Zhu'er cried again, "Niangniang, when people die, they will be hard." Mother, don't be like this, if you are sad, you will cry, and if you hold it like this, it will be suffocated. ”

I cried out with a "wow", "Impossible, impossible, the crescent moon won't be hard." I untied my front placket and stuffed the crescent moon into my arms, "I warm her, she will be warm up immediately, she will not be hard, don't change her clothes, she sleeps lightly, she will wake up and make noise when she moves." ”

Zhu'er, who was seriously ill, had no strength after this pulling, so he simply sat on the ground like me, and didn't mention changing the clothes of Yue'er, sobbing one by one, "Princess......"

"Shhhh I hugged the crescent moon, got up, sat on the bed, covered it with a futon, the crescent moon's little face was exposed, white, thin, and the short hair that reached her ears was jet black, but these days she was sick, and she didn't dare to bathe her, sometimes sweat, sometimes tears, she now looked dirty, like an old broken doll.

I conceived her and gave birth to her, but I didn't expect this mother-daughter relationship to be so short! I couldn't believe it, and I didn't want to believe it, she must have just fallen asleep. But every minute that passed, and I touched her face, the temperature dropped a point, and I had to believe that I had really lost her. But so what? Who can stop me from holding her a little more at this time? Who can separate me from her at this time?

I just hugged her like this, the soreness on my arms gradually became insensible, the rushing tears gradually flowed out, and even myself began to be cold. Zhu'er shrunk to the side, crying incessantly, sometimes calling out for the crescent moon, and then shouting for me, like a beggar who begs for mercy from heaven and has no gain.

I grabbed her, "Come up, sit with me for a while, don't talk, don't cry." ”

When Zhu'er saw me like this, she cried even harder. I was upset and shouted, "Don't cry!" ”

Only then did Zhu'er stop crying, slowly got into bed, and also stretched out a hand to hold the crescent moon, but even if there was one more person, she still couldn't cover the crescent moon that had been far away.

The night was long, I held my daughter, beside a faithful maid, I told her, how I wanted this child, how much effort and hardship I had to conceive this child, and how much pain I went through to give birth to her, this short time of less than a year, because of her, how much fun I had never imagined, how much unexpected touches she brought me, at this moment, how much I regretted leaving her for the last two months, if the fate could not be changed, how could I still be in such a short time together, And leave her for two months? Could it be that it was because of my departure that she got such a serious illness and finally left me?

I asked Zhu'er lightly, "Is it because I'm not good enough, so she doesn't want to be my daughter?" ”

Zhu'er shook her head vigorously, "No, Niangniang, you are the best mother." ”

I cried, "If I'm fine, why did she leave me?" Zhu'er, you say, was it my negligence that gave her her life? Or was I simply not capable of raising her, protecting her, and should not have brought her into this world to endure such pain in such a short life? ”

Zhu'er's voice was already choked, and she would only shake her head desperately, "Niangniang, don't say it, let the princess go well, you are like this, she can't go at ease." ”

I rested my head on Pearl's shoulder and sobbed, "But I don't want to let her go!" I don't want to, I don't want to. ”

When Dai Qin's last day came, he had brought all the medicine that Zhu'er and Crescent Moon could use, but what he saw was a messy picture, two women who had gone out of shape crying, and a dirty and broken child, all of whose medicine had fallen to the ground. <
