CHAPTER XLIV

Xu Yuan took off her tough shell in front of Liu Yi, and she naturally trusted Liu Yi as a person.

Since Xu Yuanyuan saw Liu Yi for the second time in the Yamen, and Liu Yi spoke for her in the Yamen, Xu Yuanyuan felt that Liu Yi was actually not a bad person in his bones, at least he was not a person from Chi County Ling and Zheng Dewang. Liu Yi will speak for an irrelevant stranger, not afraid of offending the powerful, Liu Yi is still righteous in his bones. And the third time she saw Liu Yi, Liu Yi didn't embarrass her, nor did she tease herself like the first time, Liu Yi was very gentle and affectionate that time.

After the tears were gone, the people around her were almost gone, and Xu Yuanxuan broke away from Liu Yi's arms, she leaned on Liu Yi's ear and whispered: "What I cried about today, you just know alone, don't tell others." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Liu Yi looked at Xu Yuanxuan who was far away, and a little smile appeared on his face, only thinking that this girl was very interesting. Xu Yuanxuan looks tough and resolute on the outside, but he doesn't want to cry like this because of the death of a woman he doesn't know, and he must be affectionate in his heart, not as ruthless and unrighteous as he seems on the outside.

After the Zhou family was fished up, he was directly carried back to the house by the Cheng family, and Cheng Zhenzhi bought the best coffin for him, and there were countless people who came to mourn, and the coffin was just for everyone to see. Cheng Zhenzhi naturally knelt in Zhou's mourning hall every day and cried movingly, and it was only for outsiders to see, after all, officials should also have some good reputations. The people next to the bridge heard Zhou's words that day, and they should have decided that Cheng Zhenzhi forced that Zhou to death, and now he can only pretend to cry bitterly to save his last reputation.

Those people in the world don't know that the bridge that broke Zhou's soul was originally called the Broken Soul Bridge, and legend has it that there was a lover who fell in love at first sight on that bridge, but he couldn't get the consent of his family, and finally jumped off the bridge and broke his soul. Therefore, the bridge was called the Broken Soul Bridge, but after a long time, the world forgot the pair of lovers, and naturally forgot the name of the bridge.

In the spring, it was warm and cold, and Xu Yanjun's body, which was just right, suffered from the wind chill because of the sudden cold, and his body went back again.

In the past few days, the cough has become more and more serious, and everyone around me can see it.

Xu Yanjun stood in front of the desk and copied the scriptures, which was copied to the death spell of the Xu clan who were destroyed. Because of her weak body, the hand she held the pen was a little shaky, and when she copied some words with many strokes, her hand shook so lightly that the words were confused. Or Xu Yanjun was ill and his hands were insufficient, and he stayed on the rice paper for a few more moments, so that the ink stained on the tip was smeared on the paper. In this way, in the afternoon, Xu Yanjun did not copy a single one.

Because of another mistake, Xu Yanjun crumpled the rice paper that had finally copied half of the death spell and threw it aside.

A breeze blew in from the half-open window, Xu Yanjun was gently blown by the wind and coughed suddenly, the hand holding the pen also shook non-stop, the pen that had just been stained with a little ink flickered, and there were many ink stains on the whole rice paper, just like Xu Yanjun held a halberd on the ground when he was on the northwest border.

For some reason, Xu Yanjun began to miss the life on the northwest border, when he rode the desert with his father Xu Bangchang and younger brother Xu Changjun, he missed the sound of Hu Ji in the desert, and he also missed Liu Yi who competed in martial arts that day. But everything can't go back, my father and younger brother have gone to the underworld, and I am locked in the deep palace and cannot get out unless I die, and the young man Liu Yi I loved when she was young is not the Liu Yi she knows.

Xu Yanjun suddenly felt a little sad, felt a chill in his heart, and trembled all over.

Suddenly, there was a "squeak", and the door of the main hall was opened, and it was her personal maid Chan'er who came in.

Chan'er saluted Xu Yanjun and said softly: "Niangniang, Imperial Doctor Lu is here, and I want to ask you for a pulse, and now I am waiting outside." ”

Xu Yanjun chuckled, waved his hand and said, "You let Imperial Doctor Lu go back, this palace doesn't need to ask for a pulse." After speaking, Xu Yanjun coughed twice.

At this time, Xu Yanjun's complexion was like a piece of white rice paper, without the slightest blood, her hair was messy, and she didn't have any hairpins on her head, because she didn't care about her appearance anymore, she felt that even if she was old and ugly, Liu Yi wouldn't care about her, maybe only when she died, Liu Yi would be moved with a little pity.

Chan'er looked at Xu Yanjun's sick appearance, and couldn't help but be a little scared, afraid that Xu Yanjun would not be able to keep it in order to go one day.

Although Xu Yanjun is not favored, but the camel that starves to death is bigger than the horse, Xu Yanjun is still the queen of Yan after all, and it will not be good for Liu Yi to punish the crime at that time.

Chan'er frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Niangniang, let's let Imperial Doctor Lu come in and ask for a pulse, your body is ......" Chan'er wanted to speak and stopped, and the voice she spoke just now was only louder than a mosquito.

Xu Yanjun didn't know why she suddenly became angry, she directly picked up the death spell at hand and threw it directly at Chan'er's side, not on Chan'er, but on Chan'er's side.

Xu Yanjun roared angrily: "The body of this palace itself knows!" Even if the palace is sick and dead, he doesn't see a doctor! I'm relieved to die sooner. ”

Since the Xu family was raided and wiped out, Xu Yanjun has been so moody, Chan'er has been with Xu Yanjun for so long, and she is naturally distressed. Chan'er also understands that Xu Yanjun was not such a person originally, Xu Yanjun's current moodiness just has no place to dissipate the anger in his heart, and the current Xu Yanjun is already a little half crazy and half stupid.

Xu Yanjun suddenly put down the pen in her hand, squatted down and hugged herself and cried, she cried: "I know that I am going to be locked in the deep palace in this life, I miss my father, I miss my brother, and I miss my mother, I can only reunite with them when I die, go to the nine springs, and my tragic child." She whimpered.

The women in this resentful palace are like this, they can't come out unless they die, and Xu Yanjun sometimes begins to envy those concubines who are so disgraceful. She didn't use this palace to speak this time, because she just wanted to be herself, that simple Xu Yanjun. She is not called Xu Bangchang's father like before, but her father, because she has grown up, she will no longer be coquettish and stupid like before.

Liu Yi, who was once gentle and affectionate, died, and Xu Yanjun, who was once innocent, also went with him.

Chan'er saw Xu Yanjun like this and went out, Imperial Physician Lu was still standing outside the door, presumably Imperial Physician Lu had heard the roar in the hall just now, she took out two taels of silver from the money bag on her waist and stuffed it into Imperial Physician Lu's hand, and said softly: "Our mother is in a bad mood today, when Niangniang is in a good mood today, and trouble Imperial Doctor Lu to come to our mother to ask for a pulse, and I hope that Imperial Doctor Lu has a lot, don't mind." ”

Imperial Physician Lu took the silver, and just smiled and said: "Niangniang's suffering, Weichen understands, it is normal for Niangniang to feel uncomfortable, and when Niangniang is in a better mood that day, it is not too late for Weichen to come and ask for a pulse." ”

Chan'er sent Imperial Doctor Lu out.

After sending away Imperial Physician Lu, Chan'er did not go back to Fengwu Pavilion directly, but went straight to the Lizheng Palace, Liu Yi.

When Chan'er arrived at the Lizheng Palace, Liu Yi's personal eunuch Chang Xi stood outside the hall, and Chan'er knew that Liu Yi should be the only one in the hall at this time.

Chan'er stepped forward to salute Chang Xi, and said: "Chang Xi's father-in-law, the slave and maid have an important matter here, which is related to the safety of the queen's mother, and the troublesome father-in-law can go in and report to the emperor, and the slave and maid want to meet the emperor." ”

Outsiders don't know Liu Yi's thoughts, but how could Chang Xi, who has followed Liu Yi since he was a child, not know, he understands that Liu Yi still has Xu Yanjun in his heart. So, Chang Xi pushed the door in and told Liu Yi.

Xu Yanjun and Liu Yi are both idiots in this rolling red dust, both of them have each other in their hearts, but they want to torture each other like this, and they end up injured, Chan'er and Chang Xi on the side can't stand it.

Liu Yi really had Xu Yanjun in his heart, and immediately asked Chang Xi to invite Chan'er into the palace to meet Liu Yi to meet him on important matters.

As soon as Chan'er entered the Lizheng Palace, she knelt directly on the ground, and she really got Liu Yi.

Liu Yi frowned slightly, a little anxious, and urged directly: "Say it quickly, what's wrong with the queen?" ”

Chan'er's eyes were filled with tears, and she lamented: "The queen's mother was just in good health, but in the past few days, she has been blown by the wind and cold, and she coughs a lot at night. The slave maid invited Imperial Doctor Lu to ask for the pulse of the mother today, but she didn't want the mother to suddenly be angry, and said that she would not be cured if she died. The slave knew that all this was because of the bitterness of the mother's heart, and asked the emperor to take pity on our mother, go and persuade it. Otherwise, I'm afraid our mother will not be able to do it in a few days. After saying that, Chan'er covered her mouth and was about to cry.

Liu Yi listened to Chan'er's words, especially the sentence "I'm afraid our mother will not be able to do it in a few days", which made Liu Yi's heart pwitch. The lover who has been with him for 12 years is going to go like this, who is not sad.

Liu Yi stood there for a moment, his cheeks frowning slightly, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly. He was afraid that if he went, Xu Yanjun would be unhappy, but if he followed Xu Yanjun's temperament like this, he was really afraid that Xu Yanjun would go like this, he knew that Xu Yanjun was bent on death.

Liu Yi didn't know that his hands were trembling slightly.

In the end, Liu Yi was ready to see Xu Yanjun, even if she hated herself, as long as Xu Yanjun lived.

It's good to be alive.

He didn't know when he was so humble about his feelings, as long as his beloved lived, as long as she lived, everything still had room to turn around.

Liu Yi ordered Chang Xi to invite Imperial Doctor Lu, and when Imperial Doctor Lu arrived, a group of people rushed to Fengwu Pavilion.

Fengwu Pavilion and Lizheng Hall are not far apart, but Liu Yi usually feels that this road is so long, so long that it can't be reached.

When he arrived at Fengwu Pavilion, the door of the main hall was closed, as if it was like Xu Yanjun's closed heart.

Chan'er gently pushed open the door and reported inside, and then welcomed Liu Yi in.

When Liu Yi entered, Xu Yanjun was lying on the chaise longue, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his hands naturally hung down, as if he had gone west. Liu Yi was a little shocked in his heart, when he saw the faces of the people on the concubine's couch, it was Xu Yanjun, but he was much older than the last time they met, and Liu Yi didn't remember when he saw Xu Yanjun again. Xu Yanjun and Concubine Li are only one year apart, but the degree of youth is far from the same.
