Chapter 9: Regression and regret
I don't know why, these days I always think of Liu Yu, think of his coldness that day, think of the ensemble in the snow that day, he said to me to live, "Only when people live can there be hope......"
His words at least made people not despair at first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
On this day, I leaned in front of the window, took out the pipa, and stroked the strings carefully, where would the owner of this piano called Jingyu be, if Mofu was desperate to take the concubine away, if he followed Ruixun to the end of the world at that time......
"What are you thinking?" The gentle voice sounded in my ears, Liu Yi walked to my side, reached out and touched the pipa, his fingers were very long, the bones were distinct, I never knew that there would be such a good-looking finger in the world, how could a pair of bookish hands not be reminiscent of the prodigal behavior of King An.
As if knowing that I was looking at his fingers, he turned his gaze to mine, and I noticed his gaze and couldn't help but quietly avoid it.
"I'm wondering if the real owner of this instrument is just a story."
"In the past, the king didn't know, but the king knows that its current owner is you." After saying that, his hand suddenly touched my hand, and the warm palm wrapped my fingers, and I wanted to pull my fingers out of his hand, but I didn't think about it, but he forcibly pressed it.
"You ......" I am short of words, I don't know what to do.
"Pavilion ......"
"The imperial brother has not come for a long time, and the younger brother still thinks that the imperial brother has forgotten the imperial sister-in-law!" Liu Yu's expression was the same, and he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, "Since the imperial brother is here, the younger brother will take the first step." ”
Liu Heng, dressed in snow-blue civilian clothes, walked up to me, "Ge'er ......"
My fingers gripped the strings tightly, and I was at a loss for what to do, afraid to look at him, afraid to talk to him.
"I ......" his lips lifted slightly, but he didn't know what to say, so he finally swallowed the words, and was silent for a long time, and then spoke again, "I have set a place to welcome guests, I wonder if Brother Ying can appreciate his face, taste tea and see the snow, and appreciate the world together?" ”
He had said this to me exactly the same way, and he had sent someone to save me, and I respected him as a brother, but now that he has done this to me, I am afraid that that little bit of emotion has long since disappeared......
"Why does the emperor have to be like this." I said lightly, "The shore of the land, is it not the king's land, what is there in this world that the emperor can't get......"
"You hate me so much...... he sighed deeply, and seemed to have endless sorrow, "Just because I killed the people of the Su family and injured Su Ruixun, you are so ......"
"Su family......" I smiled sadly, "What is the life of the more than 100 members of the Su family compared to the emperor's throne, and what qualifications do courtiers have to hate the emperor?" ”
He looked at me and said in disbelief, "I have made you the queen and given you the grace that all women dream of, and you have destroyed your legs and been grounded in the Xiaomei Garden for the sake of a Su Ruixun...... I...... I ......"
"You gave it, I never asked you for it...... unconsciously, tears blurred my eyes, I looked at Liu Heng, I couldn't see clearly, but my fingers were still tightly grasping the strings, until I cut my fingers.
The blood slid down the strings drop by drop, and Liu Heng saw that he pushed off the pipa violently and grabbed my hand, "Ge'er, your hand hurts ......"
"My hands ......" I looked at Liu Heng a little suddenly, "What does it matter, a pair of legs is gone, and a pair of hands, what does it matter......
"I'm already going to let you go, don't hurt myself anymore."
I silently let Liu Heng bandage my fingers, we only met a few days ago, but I felt that we hadn't seen each other for a long time, he was as grand as before, but a little more dull and sad.
He hugged me into his arms, I didn't struggle, I let him hold me tightly and whisper love words in my ear.
"Why did you give him all your heart, even if you left me half a point......
"Brother Jinyu......" tears fell, only to realize that Liu Heng was looking at me happily, "You are finally willing to think of a brother...... Ge'er ......, "But he didn't notice that my expression was beginning to glaze over.
"Brother Jinyu, what should I do, the emperor has made an order to separate me from Brother Ruixun......"
"Yingge, don't you like the emperor?"
"I don't want to marry the emperor, Brother Jinyu, you and Ruixun take me away, it's okay for us to go anywhere, leave Kuo Qi, okay......"
"Yingge, is it okay to marry me?"
"I ...... Jinyu's brother...... How can you ...... like that?"
"Ge'er...... Marry me...... Is it good ......?"
"How can it be, I already have someone I like......"
"I named you the queen, why should you resist ......"
"Ruixun...... Where are you ......?"
"I can give you everything you want......"
"Ruixun, he's going to kill you, let's go......"
The dusty memories began to flood over me, and I kept repeating, "Ruixun, let's go......" Liu Heng realized that something was wrong with me, "Ge'er, what's wrong with you......"
"It's all over, don't scare me......"
Liu Heng shook me vigorously This is what I woke up, I looked at him, he cried, crying so miserably, like an emperor who had died in the country.
I looked at Liu Heng a little dazedly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”
He watched me try to wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of my eyes, "I'm fine......" "It's sunny, I'll take you out for a walk...... Go out and walk around ......"
Back then, he and Liu Heng met in this teahouse, when people came and went, bustling, very lively, today he may have wrapped up the entire teahouse, there are almost no people here.
He chose a table by the window, on which was placed a pot of crisp tea, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of mung bean cake, and he untied his cloak and set me in place before picking up the teapot and pouring water into the cup.
"Ge'er, do you remember, you used to lean against the window and look at the scenery outside." He put down the teapot and pushed the cup to me.
I rubbed the rim of my glass, not knowing what to say, but he was still talking about old things with great interest, most of them from the old days when we used to get along.
"The tea is cold, why don't you drink it?" He reached out to grab my teacup, but I suddenly retracted my hand, and he looked at me a little dazed, with a flash of pain in his eyes, and then turned back to me and said, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to change the hot cup for you." ”
Then he stretched out his hand again, and it fell into the air and waited, and this time somehow I let go of the cup in my hand and let him take it.
"I know, I don't have much to live......" I said to him, and when he heard my words, his hand movements suddenly stopped again, and returned to normal in a moment, "they talk nonsense......
"Jinyu ......" hasn't called this name for a long time, but at this time.
"Jinyu ......" he silently recited these two words, "Ge'er, you haven't recognized me for a long time, it's been a long time......"
"Brother Jinyu, for the sake of my short time, can you grant me a request......" I looked at him and suddenly pleaded.
"You know that if you want you to speak, what will I not give you......" The corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if he continued to say something and stopped.
"Let go of Ruixun, let him go forever, and always ......" I took a deep breath and said my last wish, as long as I opened my mouth...... But I once begged him not to let me enter the palace, and I also begged him to let the Su family go, but I became an unfavored queen, lost my legs, and the Su family was destroyed......
Hearing my pleading, he got up and looked out the window, "You still can't forget him......"
"It's been three years, you don't go out of Xiaomei Garden, no matter how insulted you are by other concubines, you won't send anyone to find me, Li Yingge, you love him so much!"
"Now he is the only one left in the Su family, and there is no real power at all in the right minister, no one will affect your throne......" "Ahem...... "Ahem" I began to cough violently.
He picked up the cloak that was placed on the chair and gently covered me, "It's cold, you're not in good health, don't talk about it......"
"I know I won't live for more than two years, maybe less than a year, Brother Jinyu, what can I do in this time? Maybe I won't even see the snowflakes next year......"
"Say no more...... he suddenly shouted at me, "I will heal you, I will let the best doctor in the world heal you, you will not leave me......" He hugged me as if he had lost some kind of treasure, "I will not let you leave ......"
I gently pushed him away, and my eyes blurred, "Just ask for your last grace as a courtier......
He looked at me, his lips trembling slightly, "I ...... Promise you......"
I then said: "Actually, I didn't hate you at first, because I knew that the imperial power was difficult since ancient times, and no matter how powerful the Su family was, how could they have the heart of rebellion, and you used the Li family to balance the Su family, which was the emperor's strategy, but then I slowly understood that the Li family has so many daughters, so why bother with me...... You ask me if I hate you......" Tears dripped from the corners of my eyes little by little, and I looked up, "How could I not hate you......"
"Hate ......," he seemed relieved, "you said it yourself...... It's also ......."
We have said a lot, since the day of the wedding I have never said so many words with him, things are people and everything is off, Qionglou Yuyu welcomes guests, no one responds, a night of candles and tears, snow and frost do green wax, Wu thinks that he is a little deep, and he does not give up his life and death, and his original intention lives up to his heart.
The hatred was once gone, and the words were cloudy: "Le Mo Le Xi new acquaintance, sad and sad parting, that is, there is something to ask, but not to be."
