Chapter 4: Breaking Love
Her smile stiffened inch by inch. He was silent, very wrong, very wrong. Is something happening?
"Brother, I'm back!" She called timidly, reached out and took out the wrapped agarwood bone from her arms: "I found it!" ”
Xie Tairan just looked at her, his eyes full of obsession and reluctance, but also full of sadness and despair.
Guo Tinglan stepped forward and said, "Thank you, princess, for working for Your Majesty." I took the medicine. ”
She reached out to pick it up, and Yan Ran flashed: "County Lord, this is for my brother!" ”
Guo Tinglan's face sank, and she suddenly smiled again: "Princess, Your Majesty and I have ...... It's a couple, what you gave to your brother is naturally for my sister-in-law. ”
The agarwood bone fell to the ground with a "pop". Yan Ran's eyes widened, looking at Guo Tinglan, and then at Tairan.
Calmly's body shook a few times, and the moon lake and moon sea behind him hurriedly held on. He turned his face and said to Guo Tinglan in a hoarse voice: "You go out!" ”
Guo Tinglan reached out to help him, he flicked his sleeve, let go, and continued: "You go out!" ”
Guo Tinglan's face was full of shame, she snorted at Yanran, turned around and reluctantly went out.
calmly broke free of Yuehu Yuehai's hand and walked towards Yanran: "Yanran! He called out to her in a hoarse voice, her body crumbling, and he tried to reach out to help, but finally retreated. He is no longer eligible!
And she was still staring at him, hoping that he would deny it, that he would say no. But his look told her it was true.
It's true, that's why he's so sad, so timid, and he's sorry for her.
In just one month, the sea has turned into a mulberry field.
Tears silently slid down his cheeks, and he subconsciously reached out to wipe them, but wiped out a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have a concubine!" ”
calmly grabbed his chest with both hands, and a mouthful of blood slowly spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Yan Ran turned her face to Yuehu Yuehai and said, "Your Majesty's heart disease has been committed again, what about the heart-saving pill I left for you?" ”
Yuehu knelt down and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty refuses to take medicine......"
"Bring it!"
Moon Lake took out the heart-saving pill from his arms. Yanran took it and asked Yunshang to bring a glass of water. She walked up to Tairan and said softly, "Your Majesty, please take the medicine." ”
Calmly took the pill from her hand and swallowed it in one gulp.
Yan Ran smiled again, but tears kept flowing: "The preparation of agarwood bone is very simple, I can get it done tomorrow, and it is generally effective after taking it for three days." ”
He nodded calmly, just looking at her without blinking.
"Brother An Ran lives in an inn, he doesn't want to go back to the palace, and it's inconvenient to walk. I will stay with him until he is cured. ”
Calmly still nodded.
Yanran was stunned for a while, and then smiled: "I'll go get something." Retire! With that, she bowed slightly to him, and turned into her side hall.
Calmly watched her back disappear, her eyes closed, and she fell backwards. Yuehu Yuehai hurriedly supported him and carried him into the study.
Yanran entered the door, and the tears finally flowed down and collapsed to the ground.
She cried so hard that she was silent, and the sorrow that held her firmly, made her tremble, and her heart ached, but there was no more pair of hands to carss her back, and no more chest for her to lean on.
Yunshang came in, looked at Yanran who was curled up on the ground, and couldn't cry, beside her, there was Father-in-law Yuehai who couldn't stop wiping his tears.
Feeling that there was someone around her, she finally raised her face. Yunshang helped her up, Yuehai knelt down with a "bang", and said to Yanran: "Princess, don't blame the official family, the official family is ...... He's gone with half his life! You know his temperament, he swallows all the pain by himself, the old slave can't look past it, and he wants to be blamed by him to tell you what happened. ”
Yan Ran leaned weakly against Yunshang and asked in a dumb voice, "Why?" ”
Yuehai said: "Since you left, the official family has gone to court every morning, stayed with the two highnesses for a while at noon, and continued to approve and fold in the afternoon. Because I miss you too much, and I have repeatedly suffered from heart disease. The county lord didn't know where you were not in the palace, so he used the excuse of visiting His Royal Highness Dingran, and came to Qixiang Palace several times, and the official family looked at the small hall below, and there was no seizure, but he had already instructed the old slave to let the old slave clean up the Bitong Palace, and he wanted to move to the Bitong Palace to live temporarily. That night, the county lord came to find His Royal Highness Dingran again, and it happened that the official family had a heart disease and fainted on the ground, so the county lord hugged the official family and massaged him to smooth his breath. We were going to take the medicine to the official family, but the county lord refused, saying that the medicine was three points poisonous, and the official family would carry it. She had been waiting in the official dormitory that night...... At dawn, the old slave went in to serve, and found that the county lord was lying next to the official......"
Yuehai didn't continue, but Yanran already understood everything.
When the official woke up, he was furious, overturned the bed, and drew his sword to kill the county lord. The county lord took out a bloody handkerchief and said that she was already a member of the official family, how could the official family turn their faces and deny it. The official's overnight heart disease was actually not treated, and he fainted again. The old slave and Yuehu had no choice but to tear off their faces and drive away the county lord and give medicine to the official family. ”
Yuehai wiped away her tears and continued: "Since that night, the official family has not stepped into the dormitory, and he has been seriously ill, but he refuses to take medicine. The county lord came to Qixiang Palace every now and then, as if she had become a concubine, and the official family ignored her at all, but she didn't care. Princess, that's how it happened. The old slave and the Yunshang girl beside you all know in their hearts that the official family was designed by the county lord......"
Yan Ran was silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "I know." You explain your majesty more, after all, when you reach the age, the harem can't be vacant...... I will concoct the agarwood bone as soon as possible, and once Your Majesty's old illness is solved, everything will slowly get better. ”
Yuehai said worriedly: "The official family only listens to you, princess, if you leave him, the old slave is worried about ......"
"There is no one in this world who can't live without anyone. Yuehai, just do your part. Do your best and let God do your best. ”
Yuehai didn't dare to say anything more, so she took her leave. Yanran was stunned all the time, Yunshang helped her to the bed, and she fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was night. She didn't eat dinner, and floated like a shadow to the small kitchen for her daily use, cleaned the agarwood bones, put them in a pot and rubbed them vigorously, then burned the fire to dry the water, and then grinded them carefully. She was so immersed in the matter at hand that she didn't leave the slightest room to think about anything else. When the agarwood bone turned into a pile of brown fragrant powder, the sky outside was already bright. And so the night passed.
She took out a clean glass bottle, carefully filled the powder into it, plugged it with a wooden cork, turned around and went out to find Yuehai, but saw Tairan standing outside the door.
He was now in shape, his eyes were dark and bright, and he held a bowl in his hand. She didn't know when he would come, so she smiled: "Morning, Your Majesty! I was looking for you. The agarwood bone has been concocted. Take one spoonful in three divided doses daily...... Don't let down the hard work of me and Shi Jian to pick up books and wind and rain two guards. ”
She was afraid that he would not take it, so she deliberately added the latter sentence.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he just took the bottle and put it in his arms, and handed it to her with the bowl in his hand.
It was a bowl of noodles, noodles that had already been cooled.
The reason why she came back in a hurry on the twenty-seventh was to spend her birthday with him, but she didn't know that what was waiting for her was a thousand arrows piercing her heart.
And the bowl of noodles in his hand also told him that he had never forgotten her birthday.
Yuehu cried and said: "This bowl of noodles was made by the official family at night, and I want to serve it to you, who knew that you were here, and the official family stood here for a night with noodles......"
She took the noodles, tears were falling from her eyes, she simply picked up the chopsticks, ate them one bite at a time in front of him, and said with a smile: "It tastes good, but unfortunately, it's cold!" ”
Tairan's eyes were red, and he suddenly said, "Yanran, I'm sorry." ”
His voice was hoarse, sad, and every word seemed to exhaust his strength.
"Not necessarily." The last thing she wanted to hear was these three words, all she heard from them was his cowardice and compromise, and the calm brother in her heart would never be cowardly and compromised. She desperately maintained the smile on her face, "If you really feel sorry, then govern the Yuezhao Kingdom well, and let my father's Kanglai prosperity continue to become a prosperous Jiahua era, then, I will be proud of you." ”
After thinking about it, he said: "You need to spend hard work to bring it to Dingran and Jingran, and before the age of twelve, you are their only support." Tears flowed down her cheeks, and she was helpless.
She waved at him: "Farewell to Your Majesty!" With that, she turned her face away and swept past him, went to the side hall to get her small package, glanced at Yunshang Yunni, turned and ran away. (To be continued.) )
