155. Chapter 49 Shaokang Dies(5)
Since the events of that night, she has locked herself in the east wing and has not seen anyone, and she is eager to completely erase the madness and confusion of that night. She was already an unclean woman, and she gave herself to someone who was not Xiao Yu in a daze. She couldn't forget what she vaguely saw in the haze, Xiao Yu's icy eyes, she didn't dare to face him again, and she didn't dare to face anyone.
Unexpectedly, what she dodged was this bad news. She didn't know if Xiao Shaokang was seriously ill now because of the events of that night, although there was a ban order today, there were still some rumors outside the palace. However, in the final analysis, Xiao Shaokang cannot be blamed for that incident! Because she was the one who was wrong, it was she who mistakenly regarded Xiao Shaokang as Xiao Yu that caused this disaster.
She couldn't forget the man with a narrow smile when she first met. He was such a good man, they were only one side of the story, and he was thinking about bringing her medicine. When they were in southern Xinjiang, they fought side by side and cooperated tacitly to make a plan to destroy the country. She touched her heart, only to feel that there seemed to be a dull ache there. When she was hit by an arrow and fell off the horse, he had to save her in time, otherwise her life would have been lost on the seashore in southern Xinjiang. All the way back to Beijing, he also took care of her carefully, and was always worried about her health.
When she thought about it in her heart, it was all about him, and she owed him a lot.
"! Magpie please! The magpie outside the door was still crying, Ruyu glanced at the palace maid beside her, and several people jointly went to the magpie's mouth and stuffed a handkerchief. The cry in the magpie's mouth suddenly turned into a choked sound of "woo", and Ruyu and the others dragged her out of the hospital without caring about her resentful gaze.
The courtyard was quiet again, but Du Yunjin's heart could no longer remain quiet. She couldn't accept the news that Xiao Shaokang was about to die, and she intuitively told her that this matter was very strange. First, Xiao Shaokang himself is a doctor with excellent medical skills, how can he have something? Moreover, at the last glance of that night, she saw that he was clearly very healthy, and his life hung by a thread in the blink of an eye. The magpie's words, though earnest, were unconvinced.
In any case, she wanted to see Xiao Shaokang with her own eyes, whether it was because he was about to die now, or because he had to make a break for the evil relationship between them.
The door, which had been closed for a few days, creaked open, and she stood in the courtyard of the east wing again, but she couldn't open her eyes for a while because of the sunshine.
"Mother."
Just as she lifted her skirt and walked out of the courtyard, a familiar figure stood in front of her. It took her time to slowly open her eyes, and after getting used to the daylight again, she looked at the person who dared to stop her.
"Mother, you can't go." In the face of her questioning gaze, Ruyu stood respectfully in front of her, not making the slightest concession.
Du Yunjin looked at the bun on her head, and only inserted a pearl hairpin, just as light and elegant as her person. Since Yanhui left, she has been by her side, and she has always adhered to her duties, but she didn't expect to dare to brush her mind now.
"Get out of the way."
Du Yunjin looked coldly at Ruyu in front of her, she is still the crown princess and the mistress of the East Palace, even if she has experienced such a thing, she is definitely not allowed to be challenged by a small palace maid. Moreover, she was also anxious and wanted to see Xiao Shaokang with her own eyes.
"Niangniang, if you are only in the East Palace, the slave will never dare to stop you. However, His Royal Highness has instructed that if you go to Yuwang's Mansion or other places, then please finish copying these five hundred scriptures first. ”
Ruyu took out a stack of scriptures from the hands of the palace maid behind her, and still respectfully handed them to Du Yunjin.
Xiao Yu actually punished her for copying scriptures? Du Yunjin took the scriptures in her hand suspiciously, this stack of more than a dozen, each book five hundred times has to be copied for a long time. Xiao Yu still saved her face in the end, and did not directly detain her, but just put her under house arrest under the pretense of pretending to be. That's it, he gave her face, she couldn't do without.
Du Yunjin took the scriptures and turned around and walked towards the east wing. Behind him, Ruyu and the others breathed a long sigh of relief.
Looking at the emaciated back, Ruyu narrowed her eyes before turning to leave, like a cat staring at her prey. She didn't expect that until now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still protecting Du Yunjin. On the surface, he wanted to put Du Yunjin under house arrest, but in fact, he wanted to protect her, and he didn't want her to wade into any troubled waters, so as not to avoid this limelight in the east wing, so as not to anger Xiao Feng again.
Heh, Du Yunjin is really blessed, and he has been treated differently by the prince.
Ruyu rubbed her sour heart and walked slowly towards the side room behind the wing room.
Pages of scripture were laid on the floor, and the moonlight outside the window reflected the thin figures of the people in the room. She writes very carefully and slowly, as if she is cherishing it and wasting time.
Dinner was set aside, and the food inside was already cold. Du Yunjin still didn't mean to stop, she didn't know how long such days would last, and she didn't resent Xiao Yu for putting her under house arrest here, after all, she did that kind of thing first, and Xiao Yu didn't have a concubine so far, which was the best treatment for her.
It's just that......
She raised her eyes and looked at the branches outside the window that were "rustling" in the night wind, and wondered if Xiao Shaokang had really had an accident.
The windows were slammed, and the night breeze poured into the house with a cool feeling. The magpie put down the medicine bowl in his hand, and walked to the window with red and swollen eyes, and the window was gently closed.
"No...... To be turned off. ”
There was a faint sound on the couch in the room, and the magpie couldn't help but shed tears when he heard it.
However, in just one day, Xiao Shaokang is like a different person, and his original elegant and outstanding figure has now become haggard and vicissitudes. He lay on the bed, his hands stretched out like dead branches to the magpie, his eyes fixed on the door that no one had pushed open.
She ...... Why haven't you come yet? ”
The magpie followed his line of sight towards the door, and she knew that her lord was waiting for someone, someone who had not appeared for a long time, and it was very likely that he would not appear again. However, seeing him lying on the bed like this, how could she bear to tell him the truth.
"Lord Wang, drink this bowl of medicine first." The magpie smiled with tears in his eyes and whispered comfortingly: "Doctor Wei said that you just need to take this medicine and you will be fine." ”
Xiao Shaokang looked at the medicine bowl in her hand and smiled softly. He is also a healer, so he naturally knows whether he can really be well, and he also knows whether Wei Zhongchen can really save him. The poison he took was unsolved by no one in the world except him. Wei Zhongchen's medical skills only prolonged his illness a little more, and at the same time exacerbated his pain of being tormented by the toxin.
She was so annoyed with him that she didn't even want to see him for the last time.
A hint of self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Shaokang's mouth, and his eyes slowly closed when he looked at the door.
The wind blew violently against the window again, startling the emblem in Du Yunjin's hand.
In the summer of the twenty-first year of the early Jing Dynasty, Yuwang Xiao Shaokang died of illness.
