(27) Suspicion is gradually rising
Confined in the dormitory for a day, the king of Loulan summoned Basima and the queen of the Da Yue clan.
"Princess," King Loulan changed his previous kindness, and his face was as heavy as autumn water: "I already know about you and Feida. However, the king's arrangement will not change, and you will marry my eldest son, Aledi. ”
Bassma cried, "I won't marry anyone else, we made a vow." ”
"Princess, when the oath is related to the survival of the Otsuki Clan, your mother, and the fate of your clan friends, I think the gods will understand you." King Loulan said coldly: "Also, Feida, my indisputable son, I have been sent to prison. And your decision is at stake his life. ”
Bassma threw herself on her mother and cried.
"Feida betrayed Loulan, I am ready to kill him at any time, but wait for your mercy." Loulan King Road.
"Don't kill him, don't kill him." Bassma knelt down.
King Loulan was silent.
"Why can't we both be perfected?"
Loulan Wang ignored it and asked again: "Have you thought about it?" ”
Bassma was already desperate: "Where else do I have to choose? ”
"Good!" Only then did the king of Loulan call his subordinates into the palace and said, "Pass my order, on the first day of the next month, for the wedding day of the princess of the Dayue clan and my prince of Loulan, Aldi, go and prepare as soon as possible." The waiter waited for a while, until the first day of the next month, fifteen days would not arrive, so he was in a hurry to make arrangements, and he hurriedly withdrew to prepare.
King Loulan looked at Basma, who couldn't even get up, and said, "Princess, let me remind you. If anything happens before or after the wedding that is harmful to the country, it will be your loved ones. ”
Bassma slowly stood up and walked out in despair. The Great Moon Clan glanced at King Loulan, and then walked out as well. King Loulan sat down in his chair and let out a long sigh, the heartache he had endured just now was even worse, and his heart seemed to be tightly pinched by a big hand.
Henna and Fran's friends were all over the guard camp, and even though they were confined to their homes, they heard about the princess's upcoming wedding to the eldest prince. I only heard about it before, but now it is indeed a solid royal decree, and even the date is accurate.
"Bassma is going crazy. Feida doesn't know what's going on, and Aledi won't be willing, I'm going to go to the palace to see King Loulan. Henna rushed out a few times, and was politely persuaded to come back, and now she has been circled for two days, and Henna wants to fight out countless times, but she is afraid that King Loulan is really angry and unfavorable to the people of the Dayue clan, so anxious that Henna is turning around in the house every day, pity those pottery and porcelain, one after another are beaten to pieces, Fran is also anxious, King Loulan will not summon again, and there will be no more guys to eat in the future.
But on the third day, the guards outside the door were withdrawn, and Henna was about to rush to the palace to find the king of Loulan theory, but unexpectedly, the servants of the Luo Da family came to the door and informed him that Luo Da had died in the night.
Henna and Fran hurried to Rhoda's house, where the chattering Uncle Rhoda, the old fellow of Rhoda, who was always right, was now lying quietly in the coffin, neither angry nor displeased.
"Uncle Roda!" Henna and Fran burst into tears. The servant also said with tears in his eyes: "On the night General Henna left, Lord Roda became more ill and began to have a high fever, but he kept saying, 'No, no', the doctor came, and there was no way, he couldn't eat or drink, and he died last night." ”
"Uncle Luoda, it's all my fault, I didn't do anything!" Henna slapped herself twice: "I hurt you!" Thinking about that night, she regretted it so much, Luo Da pleaded so much, but she finally broke Uncle Luo Da's hand.
Now he can only take care of Luo Da's aftermath first, Luo Da returned to the Da Yue clan after completing his studies in the Han family, and he has not married for many years, some people say that he has a family in Han, but his wife died early, and some people say that he is dedicated to the Buddha and does not want to do mundane things. However, there are many students, and now they are dead in a foreign land, and it is desolate to think of it, and Henna and Fran organize the funeral as Rhoda's family.
Rhoda's relics are also very simple, except for a few sets of coarse cloth clothes, which are some books and letters exchanged with old friends and students of the Otsuki clan.
"Look, Henna, this letter seems to be a general's letter!" Fran saw General Wengu's words and hurriedly handed it to Henna.
Henna opened it and saw that it was really a letter from her father, but she didn't expect that her father had written only a few words to herself, but it was a few pages to Rhoda.
"Old friend of Rhoda, see the words as you are. My daughter has been stubborn since she was a child, and there is no one to restrain her in a foreign land, so she has no parental care since she was a child, and she has no relatives and friends to rely on, and now she can only work for you. Henna's eyes were moist when she saw this, her father cared about herself, and so did Uncle Roda, when the seasons changed, Roda was always verbose and added clothes, and from time to time she made soup and took medicine to see herself.
"The strength of the Dayue clan is decreasing day by day, and the people live in peace, and there are not enough people who are willing to be soldiers. The king was ashamed to marry Loulan with the princess, but Zhou Fang was disturbed, and the ministers waited and watched but did not help. I also hope that the king can promote the marriage as soon as possible to solve the king's worries. The heir of the princess will also be the leader of the Loulan of the Dayue Clan, restoring the prosperity of the Dayue Clan, and forming an alliance of the grassland....."
Henna put down the letter and sighed. "Is it really Destiny? But is it destined that there are lovers who can't be together? How unfair this is to the princess! ”
Fran sighed, but who could answer the question.
Heina's mind was also completely confused, why did she seem to be in a situation at this moment, as if she couldn't get out. It was also the first time that Henna was so confused.
The only thing she could think about at this moment was that Bassma must be as confused as she was. But unlike her, Bassma also needs to marry someone she doesn't love. Henna just wanted to go to Bathma as soon as possible, and she didn't know how sad she had become.
As Henna had expected, Bathma wept incessantly in the dormitory. The queen's persuasion was useless, and when she saw Henna coming, it was like seeing a savior.
"Come and comfort you, Henna, poor Basma."
When Bassma saw Henna, she raised her head slightly, "Henna, you're here." The queen knew that the two little sisters had a lot to say, so she went away and let them talk.
"Henna, the king said that if I don't marry the eldest prince, I will kill Feida, and it will even affect my mother and you." Bassma's eyes were already swollen from crying.
Henna put her arm around her: "I know everything, princess, I know everything." However, I thought about it for a long time, and I couldn't think of any other way. ”
Bassma said: "It's good when I was a child, everything is beautiful." Now everything has changed. ”
Henna was afraid that she would cry when she remembered the past, and said, "Princess, I know your heart. But now, it seems that fate is destined to make you the queen of Loulan, and fate is destined to separate you from Feida. ”
"Henna." The princess gently broke away from Henna's embrace, looked into her eyes and said, "You say, why didn't we make it that night?" Why was Feda arrested? ”
