Chapter 43-2: Bereavement (Part II)

Sitting around the table, the table was already full of delicacies, and the old man and An Yuanxi had two medicinal dishes in front of them, the old man was eating medicinal food, and An Yuanxi saw that there were also two dishes in front of him, he was stunned, raised his eyes to look at me, and lowered his eyelids. An Yuanxi and I didn't speak during this meal, I only heard the sound of the old man and Yun Xiu chatting on the table, Yun Xiu talked about his new experiences overseas over the years, I listened absent-mindedly, but the old man listened with interest, and listened to it with interest, Yun De occasionally interjected to ask a few questions, and a meal was not cold because of the silence between me and An Yuanxi.

After the meal, the old man pulled Yun Xiu back to his room and said that he wanted to talk with him at night. I saw that the old man was full of interest, and I didn't want to spoil his interest, so I only called Yun De and told him not to let the old man be too tired. Yunde nodded, I raised my eyes and saw An Yuanxi also standing up, he glanced at me, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, sister-in-law!" I saw that the medicinal food plate in front of him was empty, and pulled the corners of my lips: "Uncle is polite, this is what I should have done." "What I've done is nothing compared to what you've done for me. An Yuanxi didn't seem to know what to say, so he only owed: "Then I'll go first." ”

I nodded, An Yuanxi stepped out of the hall, watching his back disappear outside the door, I was stunned for a moment, and said to Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, push me to walk in the courtyard." ”

Sitting on the edge of the lotus pond, feeling the warm sunshine, and seeing a tender bud drawn out of the lotus pond, it was suddenly early summer, and I came to this time and space, unconsciously, it has been four years. It's only been four years, why do I feel like I've been through such a long life? My body, my emotions, are drooping old, no longer have the edge of the first time to enter the other world, thinking of the self four years ago, the corners of my lips moved, a wry smile, such unruly, I'm afraid I will never come back, right?

"Sister!" There was a call from afar. I raised my eyes and saw the Stygian Flame rushing over, and I couldn't help but smile: "Why are you running in such a hurry?" Have you just returned home? Did you have dinner? ”

"Sister, it's not good." Ignoring my repeated questions, Stygian Flame ran to my side, crouched down, and said, "I just heard a message on the street, General Silence...... He ......"

"What's wrong with him?" I was surprised. Stygian Flame took a breath and said in a deep voice, "General Lonely, he's dead!" ”

"What?" I was so shocked that I stood up, with a sudden pain in my leg, and fell back into my wheelchair. I grabbed his wrist in disbelief, "Where did you hear that?" Could it be misheard? How could General Silence die? ”

The emperor obviously used the protector god tripod to relieve the evil fall in the body of the silent frightened cloud, although General Lonely hadn't woken up before I left that day, but the emperor also said that he was fine, why did he die suddenly? Cold sweat was pouring down, General Silence had an accident at such a chaotic juncture in the court, would the emperor also have an accident?

"I heard me right, I got up early in the morning and went to the major pharmacies to dispense medicine for my sister, and I heard many people on the street say this, and said that the general's mansion has been hung out of white silk, and General Lone's coffin has been transported to the general's mansion." Stygian Flame hurriedly said, "I also heard that it was news from the palace, General Silence was seriously injured by the assassin who broke into the palace to assassinate the emperor a few days ago, and now he is dead. ”

My heart is in turmoil, how Zhaoshu writes about the cause of General Lone's death, it's all superficial rhetoric, is General Lone really dead? Qiang calmed down his thoughts, and I immediately said: "Stygian Flame, you let the iron guard prepare the car, follow me to the General's Mansion, I want to find out what is going on!" After speaking, let Xiaohong invite An Yuanxi: "Uncle, please ask people to check the news over there to see if there is anything unusual, and don't forget to inquire in the palace." ”

An Yuanxi nodded in response. The iron guard escorted me out and hurried to the general's mansion, the general's mansion was really plain, I saw the white silk outside the gate and the hanging white lantern, I only felt that my eyes were flowering, and my body couldn't help shaking. When the old housekeeper Lin Bo saw me, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry: "Mrs. Ronghua, my general, my general...... You can help me persuade my little lady, as soon as the general's coffin is brought back, she will be like a fool......"

"Where is the peace?" I picked him up and said in a deep voice.

"In ...... ...... in the mourning hall," Limber sobbed as he wiped his tears with his sleeve. I looked around, there were already court officials and generals who had received the news and came to mourn, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Bo, you are the old man of the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion is not ordinary now, and the peace is still small, when encountering this kind of thing, you must be in a big mess, and the subordinates are even more at a loss, you have to help her hold on, you can't run out of ideas at this time, let people see jokes." ”

When Lin Bo heard this, he quickly nodded: "Madame is right, the old slave is rude, and the old slave takes Madame to see the little lady." ”

went to the mourning hall, and saw the black coffin placed on the top of the room, Ping'an was dressed in filial piety clothes, kneeling on the right side of the coffin, behind her was the maid who was waiting for her and General Lonely, and also knelt on the ground, and her personal maid was crying next to her and comforted: "Miss, don't be like this, cry out if you feel uncomfortable......"

The Stygian Flame hurriedly pushed me over, and I saw Ping An with empty eyes, kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, like a lifeless puppet doll, and my heart was sour: "Peace! ”

She didn't seem to hear me call him, didn't respond, didn't respond. The maid beside her cried: "Mrs. Ronghua, Miss she ......"

I tentatively put my hand on Ping'an's shoulder, slowed down my speech, and said gently: "Ping'an, I'm Sister Ye, you raise your eyes and look at me." ”

She blinked, her eyes turned to me in confusion, and I hurriedly called her: "Peace, good girl, don't be afraid, sister is here......"

Her out-of-focus eyes gradually became a little brighter, her eyes looked at me for a long time, and suddenly grabbed my hand tightly, and cried heartbreakingly: "Sister, my second uncle is dead, sister, I don't have a second uncle anymore, I have no relatives anymore, sister, ......" She threw herself on my knees, wailing, tears soaked my Luo skirt. My tears fell, patted her back softly, and choked up: "Cry, cry, cry out your sadness and sadness, don't hold back ......"

She cried like a lost little beast, and the broken cry was unfinished and began again, and after a while, the tearing cry stopped abruptly, and she lay motionless on my knees, and I quickly lifted her face, her face was still stained with tears, and she had fainted from crying.

"Peace!" My heart tightened, and I hurriedly beckoned the two maids, "Quickly help your young lady back to the room, and then ask someone to go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to ask a Imperial Doctor to come over." ”
