Chapter 18: Memory
The palace was heavily guarded, the air was uneasy, and the silence was so heavy that I could only hear the sound of carriages slowly rolling across the ground. Entering the second palace gate, the carriage was replaced by a small sedan chair, and the direction of the sedan chair was Donghua Palace, the emperor's bedroom, and a large number of forbidden troops were guarded outside the palace.
Shuangxi helped me get off the sedan chair and led me into Donghua Palace. The left and right sides were heavily guarded, Shuangxi did not lead me into the main hall, only led me into the side hall, the emperor sat on the chair, although I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I could feel the gloom from the inside out of his body. There was a bloody man lying on the soft couch, and the imperial doctor knelt on the ground and trembled: "The emperor ......, the minister has done his best......"
Seeing this, Shuangxi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Ronghua brings it!" ”
The emperor looked up at me and said to the imperial doctor who was trembling on his knees: "Get out!" ”
"The minister retires......" The imperial doctor was relieved, hung his head and hurriedly stepped out of the hall, and when he passed me, I saw that his face was covered with cold sweat.
Shuangxi helped me over to salute the emperor, and the emperor waved his hand: "You go and see him, he ......, it's almost dying......"
"General Lone?" I was taken aback and hurried over to the couch. The man on the couch was wearing a top body and a bandage on his chest, but the blood had stained the bandages red. Blood soaked out of the bandages and crawled all over the body. I shuddered, only to feel a tingling pain in my eyes stimulated by the blood, I squatted down, held back the panic in my heart, and said softly: "General Shan......"
When I saw his face clearly, I was slightly stunned, this face was not a silent cloud at all. The man's eyes were closed, and there was only a faint breath between his snorts, and he was in a coma. I looked back at the emperor in surprise: "Your Majesty? He's ......"
The emperor glanced at me and said to the left and right, "Everyone else is out!" ”
When he retreated, the emperor walked to the couch, stretched out his hand to caress the bloody man's face, his hand followed his touch, as if he had touched something, and then with a forceful lift, a piece of skin was torn off the man's face. I looked at the skin in the emperor's hand, and suddenly this person was wearing a human skin mask, and then looked at the person on the bed, my whole body was shocked, and I almost exclaimed, I touched his face in disbelief, I really felt his cold skin, and my body trembled uncontrollably: "Big brother? Eldest brother? How could it be you? Big brother, wake up, how could it be you? Big brother, don't scare me......"
I'm panicked and confused, how can my big brother be here? How could he be so badly injured? Could it be that he was the assassin who assassinated the emperor? No way, my eldest brother promised me not to do this again. And looking at the attitude of the emperor just now, it doesn't look like it. Tears fell uncontrollably, dripping onto Wei Tongfeng's pale face without a trace of blood, and I stroked his face helplessly: "Big brother, wake up, I'm Ye'er, big brother, I'm Ye'er, wake up, don't scare me, open your eyes and look at me......"
My serial calls seemed to bring back a trace of Wei Tongfeng's senses, his body moved slightly, a low moan came out of his mouth, and he slowly opened his eyes. I cried with joy: "Big brother, you woke up, how are you?" You ......"
Tears welled up and I choked up and my throat was dry and sore. Wei Tongfeng's scattered eyes gradually gathered focus, his hand moved, and he lifted it up with difficulty, trying to help me wipe the tears on my face, but as if someone had taken his strength away, he softened before he could raise it. I quickly grabbed his hand, put it on my face, and choked up, "Big brother......"
"Your ......, here......" A weak smile appeared on Wei Tongfeng's face, "I just ......, and I ...... in my dream, what about seeing you......"
"Big brother......" I couldn't cry. I have never seen him like this, this man has been brute since the day I first met him, as if he would never be sick, I never thought that he would be like this, he could not even lift his hands, and it would take a lot of effort to even say a word.
"I saw that when we were children, you were ......, when you were so small, like a porcelain doll......" Wei Tongfeng's eyes were covered with a layer of misty fog, "Let's catch butterflies together...... you hold the butterfly I caught for you, smile so happily, you say ......"
As if he couldn't breathe, he coughed violently, and the blood on his chest came out from under the gauze one after another. I cried, "Big brother, don't talk about it, you can rest for a while......"
"Silly girl, don't cry, big brother is fine......" He looked at me and smiled, his rough thumb gently scraping the tears from my face, I pressed his hand, choking in my throat. Wei Tongfeng's faint voice murmured: "You said ......, the eldest brother loves Xiaoxue the most, and Xiaoxue wants to be with the eldest brother forever......"
"Big Brother ......" I couldn't say anything, knowing that his sanity was trapped in the memories of him and Azure Snow when he was a child, but he was like this at the moment, I couldn't bear to say that I wasn't Azure Snow. Wei Tongfeng suddenly gasped, his eyes widened, his whole body spasmed, his hands suddenly became stiff, and his mouth gasped for breath. I burst into tears: "Big brother, big brother, don't scare me......"
"Xiaoxue ......" he glared at me with eager anticipation burning in his eyes, and gasped heavily, "Are you ......, my Xiaoxue ......"
His hand gripped mine tightly, pinching me in pain. My eyes flashed with the scenes of acquaintance with him, he dressed up as a man in black again and again to save me, he escorted me all the way to Cangdu, he maintained and cared for me all the time, I refused to admit that I was blue snow, and he never forced me. Tears rolled out of my eyes like beads, I nodded vigorously, and choked up: "Yes, I'm Xiaoxue, I'm Xiaoxue who hurts the most from my eldest brother, eldest brother, don't leave me, Xiaoxue wants to be with eldest brother forever......"
After he got an affirmative answer, his eyes gradually became gentle, and he murmured softly: "Xiaoxue......, I finally ...... and found you......"
Tears blurred my vision, his hand gradually weakened in my hand, slowly slid down to the bed, I rubbed my eyes vigorously, raised my eyes to see that his face was pale, but the corners of his lips had a smile of relief and satisfaction, and his eyelids slowly drooped.
"Big brother...... I cried and pounced on him, holding his head, "Big brother, don't go, don't go, big brother ......"
"Xiaoxue......, I ...... today, I'm very happy......" His voice was low little by little, the last sentence was inaudible, I lowered my head in panic, he closed his eyes peacefully in my arms, and never woke up.
"Big brother...... "I just feel as if my chest is being grabbed by a hand, why? Why do all the people who love me and care for me end up leaving me one by one? Why? It was as if there was a burst of thunder exploding in my head, and I only felt that Venus was rising in front of me, and the blood red in my eyes was like the mouth of a monster, infinitely spreading and magnifying, covering me overwhelmingly, and my body was weak and slid weakly to the ground.
Consciousness floated and fell, my eyes were dim, and the sky was full of gold spots, which gradually gathered together, weaving a golden screen in front of me, exuding a dazzling golden light, and I stumbled into the golden light, not knowing where the end of this golden light was. My eyes suddenly lit up, and I was in a big sunny garden, and a little girl of three or four years old in a pretty pink dress chased after a young man in blue, shouting happily: "Big brother, you wait for me......"
Where is this? Who are they? I ran over and looked at the faces of the two people, the girl looked exactly like when I was a child, and the facial features of the young man in blue seemed to be the same as when Wei Tongfeng was a teenager. Where have I been? The little girl tripped over her skirt and fell to the ground, and I tried to pick her up and ask for clarification, but I found that my hand had passed through the little girl's body without hindrance. I looked at my hand in surprise, and before I could figure out what was going on, I heard the young man in blue hurriedly turn around and help the little girl and say, "Xiaoxue, you slow down......"
Light snow? These two people, are they Wei Tongfeng and Wei Lanxue when they were children? I greedily watched Wei Tongfeng anxiously pick up the little girl, with a helpless expression: "I said that I will give it to you when I catch the butterfly, what are you anxious about?" ”
Big brother ......, my eyes welled up, and I reached out to pull him. But my hand, as before, penetrated his body without hindrance. Wei Tongfeng unconsciously patted the little girl's mud-stained skirt, and said softly, "Did it hurt to fall?" ”
"Nope." Azure Xue smiled sweetly, "Big brother, catch the butterfly for me!" ”
Wei Tongfeng touched Wei Lanxue's head dotingly, and began to catch the butterflies flying in the garden, and finally caught one, Wei Lanxue ran over happily, Wei Tongfeng smiled and handed the butterfly to her, she exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!" Then he carefully put the butterfly into the bamboo tube he carried, looked up at Wei Tongfeng excitedly and said: "Big brother is the best, I love Xiaoxue the most, Xiaoxue wants to be with big brother forever......"
Is this the memory in Azure Snow's mind? Azure Xue's soul disappeared, and her emotions and memories followed her to sleep in her mind, until today she was suddenly awakened by the death of Azure Feng? The scene in front of me faded so quickly that I didn't even have time to catch the image in front of me, and the scene immediately shifted to behind a rockery. Wei Lanxue, who was just three or four years old, had grown up a little, was wearing a black veil, and was hiding in a small hole behind the rockery and crying. Wei Tongfeng, who was full of anxiety, was also wearing a black veil, and hurriedly ran over from the other side of the garden, ran straight to the back of the rockery, squatted down, hugged the crying and convulsive Azure Xue, and called out distressedly: "Xiaoxue......"
"Big brother......" As soon as Wei Lanxue saw him, she immediately cried "wow", "Big brother, didn't you say that my mother was just asleep, why did the nurse tell me that my mother was dead and would never come back to see Xiaoxue......"
"Xiaoxue ......" Wei Tongfeng's eyes turned red, and she hugged Azure Xue tightly, "Xiaoxue, don't cry, you still have a big brother, and the big brother will always be by your side......"
The picture of one scene after another is constantly changing and alternating, and the memories of Azure Snow's childhood and adolescence are awakening little by little, and those sweet, warm and happy memories with Wei Tongfeng are like fragments of glass, reflecting the past of Azure Snow little by little. Outside the painting, I suddenly turned around, and in front of me was sitting in the hall, I saw Wei Jinglan with an angry face, pointing to Wei Tongfeng who was kneeling on the ground and scolded: "You get out of me, I don't have a son like you......"
Wei Tongfeng bit his lip, stood up from the ground with a pale face, and turned around and walked out of the hall with painful eyes, the sunlight shining in from outside, and his stubborn background only showed a desolate black shadow in the strong light. In the next scene, Azure Snow banged on the locked door and cried and fell by the door: "Let me out, Dad, I beg you, let me out......"
"Miss......" An anxious female voice came from outside the door. Azure Xue seemed to grasp the straw that saved her life, got up from the ground, and said happily: "Cai Ning, quickly, let me out......"
"Miss, the key is with Xiangye, I'll ......" Before he finished speaking, he heard Wei Jinglan's voice come coldly: "Cai Ning!" ”
"Xiangye!" The voice of the maid outside the house was frightened. Wei Jinglan snorted coldly: "Not yet!" ”
"Dad, Dad, you're here, let me out......" Azure Xue slapped the door again, and said hopefully, "Dad......"
"Let you out? Do you want to be as angry with your father as that disobedient son? Wei Jinglan said coldly outside the door, "Don't forget, you are the one who is going to enter the palace!" ”
"Dad, I won't enter the palace, I want to be with my eldest brother, you can fulfill us......" Wei Lanxue cried bitterly. Wei Jinglan said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, he is your eldest brother......"
"He's not my big brother, Dad, you let us go, I beg you to ......" Azure Xue cried and begged. Wei Jinglan outside the door seemed taken aback: "How do you know?" ”
"I heard what you said to Erniang, he was adopted by you. Dad, you fulfill us, my eldest brother and I really love each other......" Before Wei Lanxue's words were finished, she was interrupted by Wei Jinglan's scolding: "Shut up!" Don't say such impolite things again! Whether you are brothers and sisters or not, you have to enter the palace, you can do it yourself! ”
"Daddy......" Wei Lanxue heard the footsteps outside the door walking away, and in a hurry, she suddenly fainted.
I was shaken and stunned by what I had just heard. Wei Tongfeng is not Wei Jinglan's son, and he and Wei Lanxue are not brothers and sisters? I clenched my hands into fists and choked the wails in my mouth, oh my God, what the hell did I do......
The scene changed quickly, and Azure Xue sat in the locked room embroidering, she skillfully knotted the silk thread, bit off the thread, and was stunned with the embroidered thing. I walked over and saw her holding a purse in her hand, which I had seen, embroidered with a poem and two colorful butterflies, which was the purse that Jiu Ye had deliberately fallen out of at the "Super Oiran" contest and led me to pick it up. Later, he asked Momiji to deliver it to me, and I didn't know where I left it. It turns out that this purse is really a blue snow thing.
There was a few gentle knocks on the door, and Wei Tongfeng's voice was heard that lowered the noise: "Xiaoxue ......"
"Big brother?" Azure Xue was stunned, stood up in surprise, and ran to the door, "Big brother, is it you?" ”
"It's me." Wei Tongfeng said in a low voice. Azure Xue leaned her body against the door: "Big brother, how did you get in?" Isn't there someone guarding the outside? ”
"I stunned them." Wei Tongfeng said softly. Azure Xue said happily: "Big brother, are you here to save me?" The emperor has already issued an order, let me enter the palace next month, big brother, take me away quickly......"
"Xiaoxue......" Wei Tongfeng hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "I can't take you away like this, if we leave like this, it will be elopement, not only will your reputation be ruined, we will become fugitives for the rest of our lives, and my father will also be implicated......"
"Then you're just going to watch me enter the palace?" Azure Xue cried sadly, tears in her eyes.
"Xiaoxue, I heard that ......" Wei Tongfeng lowered his voice and said, "I won't let you enter the palace, I have already figured out a way to stop this matter, as long as it succeeds, you don't have to enter the palace." ”
"Really?" Azure Xue stopped crying, a little incredulous, "Big brother, you won't lie to me, right?" ”
"When did Big Brother lie to you?" Wei Tongfeng said, "I came today to let you not worry, I will definitely not let you enter the palace, you believe me." ”
"Well, I believe you." Azure Snow nodded hurriedly. Wei Tongfeng said: "Xiaoxue, then I'll go first, don't think nonsense." ”
"Wait a minute." Wei Lanxue hurriedly stopped him, grabbed the purse on the table, and stuffed it out through the crack in the door, "Big brother, this is embroidered by Xiaoxue for you, you put it away......"
The picture was blurry, I felt a little difficult to breathe, the memories of Azure Snow were almost all awakened, but I felt more and more scared, why did her memories of the person who had lost her soul remain? I could even strongly feel her love for Wei Tongfeng, biting my lip, the picture jumped suddenly, and a face that I hated appeared in front of me, I instinctively took a step back and stared at the man in front of me - Chu Yan!
With a violent look on his face, he approached the terrified blue snow on the bed, and angrily tore at her clothes. Azure Xue screamed sharply: "Don't ......" The broken clothes were thrown into the air, Azure Snow struggled fiercely, but it couldn't withstand the brute force of the violent man, and it was stripped naked in a moment, Chu Yan's eyes burned with cold anger, and he easily pressed the struggling Azure Snow on his body, and Azure Snow let out a terrible scream, her eyes stared at the top of the bed, and her pupils dilated in an instant. I rushed over and tried to pull away the violent man: "Don't ......" but it was dark in front of me, and all the pictures and scenes disappeared, and I quickly fell, fell, and fell in the dark, and for a long time, my body fell on the hard ground with a "bang".
"Don't ......," I opened my eyes suddenly, screaming in a cold sweat.

[Statement on the authorization of fan fiction]
Today, a friend told me that Hitomi-sama has officially started writing the fanfiction of "Silk Silk". Actually, I'm glad to know this news, and I want to thank Hitomi-sama for the recognition of my character in the book and the willingness to write a story specifically for him.
However, because the winning chapter of "Silk and Green Silk" is not over yet, and the full text is about to end, I said the general direction, and many smart readers can guess the plot later, for fear that the plot will be written in the future, and the plot of the adult's fanfiction will collide with the same, causing unnecessary misunderstandings. So I here's a statement: Before the physical book of "Silk Silk" is not released, I don't authorize anyone to write fan fiction of "Silk Silk", please understand, and please also ask friends who are already writing or preparing to write, stop this kind of idea for the time being, and wait for the physical book to be released, and then contact me about authorization. Thank you.;
