When I woke up, it was twilight, and everything seemed so real under the dim light. Princess Pingyang closed her eyes again, thinking about everything that happened before, and suddenly a low voice came into her ears, "Is the princess awake?" ”

The maid saw that there was no movement in the tent, and replied respectfully: "Queen, the princess is not awake yet." ”

"Take care of the princess, and report to me when you wake up."

"No!"

As the footsteps faded away, everything around them was quiet again. In this quiet twilight, Princess Pingyang tried hard to erase the memory before she fainted, but the harder she tried, the clearer the memory became. Everything that can't be erased is telling her that the brave and warlike general, the husband who has been with her for ten years and said that the white prime minister will hold on for the rest of her life, has gone away, leaving her alone to face the lonely rest of her life.

A heart-piercing pain hit, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but pull the blanket tightly, tears like a river bursting the embankment, rushing in, and the floodgates of memory slowly opened.

A few years ago, the eldest son Cao Xiang was injured due to his participation in the Battle of Mobei, and was bedridden for many years after returning, and finally died of illness. The pain of the year is still faint, and now the person who accompanied her left first, even if she is a princess and enjoys the glory of the world, she can be lonely, what is the meaning of everything in this world to her?

Thinking of this, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but sit up, and as soon as Wei Qing left, she had nothing to love. Then Wei Qing, you wait for me on the Huangquan Road, and when I look at you again, I will go with you.

When the maid heard the movement, she saw that Princess Pingyang had woken up, and was about to inform Wei Zifu, but Princess Pingyang said: "You don't need to tell the queen, where is the general's mourning hall?" ”

Seeing this, the maid did not dare to disobey, and replied: "Back to the princess, the general's mourning hall is located in the main hall. ”

Princess Pingyang didn't speak, she got up and walked to the mourning hall, the maid hurriedly followed, the house has been pierced with white silk everywhere, stabbing people's eyes and pain, Princess Pingyang pressed the grief in her heart, walked forward quickly, and did not stop.

The main hall has already been cleaned up, and there is a Zinan coffin in the center, because the soul of the deceased has not gone far, so the coffin has not yet been sealed. Under the coffin, the two ever-bright lamps faintly spit out the core, Wei Yan was wearing linen clothes and taking his two younger brothers to burn millet stalks into the brazier, Wei Junru's son Gongsun Jingsheng saw that the lantern was slightly dimmed, and then stepped forward to add some sesame oil, and turned his head to see Princess Pingyang standing in the dark, and couldn't help but call: "Uncle!" ”

When Wei Zifu heard this, he found that Princess Pingyang had come to the mourning hall at some point, so he hurriedly stepped forward with Wei Junru and said in a good voice: "Princess, please mourn!" ”

"Thank you, Queen!" Princess Pingyang's voice was low and hoarse, "I want to see the general." Wei Zifu knew that she was uncomfortable, so he didn't say much, bowed slightly, and helped her to approach the coffin.

In the coffin, Wei Qing was the same as before, but at this moment he was asleep for a long time, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but feel soft under her feet, holding the coffin and crying, everyone was sad, and they were crying silently when they saw this.

After a long time, Princess Pingyang got up, bowed slightly to everyone, and turned back to the inner hall without saying a word.

Under the corridor, Wei Zifu called out to Princess Pingyang, Princess Pingyang stopped and turned around when she heard the sound, stopped and turned around and said, "What's the matter with the queen?" ”

Wei Zifu stepped forward, took out a folded silk book from his arms, and handed it over, "Princess, Wei Qing has something for me to pass it on to you." ”

"Wei Qing gave it to me?" Princess Pingyang was slightly surprised, stretched out her hand to take it, the silk book was smooth and cool in her hand, glowing faintly in the night, Princess Pingyang gave a salute to Wei Zifu, "Thank you, Queen!" ”

Under the moonlight, Wei Zifu's eyes were red, his expression was haggard, and Wei Qing's sister and brother for decades, the death of her brother was nothing less than heartache for her, but even so, she still comforted her with a good voice: "Princess, Wei Qing has left, you should mourn and don't hurt your body." Wei Qing once told me that I can join hands with you in this life, and I have no regrets in my heart! ”

Princess Pingyang bowed her head slightly, and said movingly: "What the queen said, Pingyang feels it!" The queen and the general have a deep love for their sisters and brothers, and when he leaves, your grief will not be less than mine, and you should take care! He bowed and walked away slowly.

Wei Zifu looked at the back of Princess Pingyang, and the tears he endured flowed down his cheeks, drop by drop, falling into the night.

----

Under the corridor and returned to the inner room, Princess Pingyang retreated left and right, took out the folded silk book and rubbed it carefully against the candlelight, and it took a long time to slowly open it, the silk book was a letter written by Wei Qing to her, looking at the four words of Pingyang My Wife, she looked up, and Princess Pingyang's tears couldn't help but fall.

"Pingyang Azuma:

When you read this letter, I should have left you, although my heart is very reluctant, but life and death, after all, by heaven and not by man, so there is no need to grieve for me, this life, to be with you for ten years, it is enough!

After I leave, you should take care of the osmanthus in the courtyard regularly, that is planted by your own hands in the year of your marriage, although I can no longer accompany me in the future, but the annual osmanthus can not be abolished, you have to watch it for me..."

Seeing this, Princess Pingyang's eyes blurred again, when she got married, Wei Qing deliberately planted a osmanthus in the courtyard, and made an appointment to enjoy the osmanthus together every year when the osmanthus blooms.

Wiping away her tears, Princess Pingyang looked down again:

"Pingyang, Wei Qing still has one thing to ask for, after I leave, every year cold food, can you plant a osmanthus in front of my tomb, you and I have been married for ten years, if you have to plant ten osmanthus for me with your own hands, you and I should live up to your and my ten years of husband and wife love..."

"General..."Princess Pingyang couldn't help crying when she saw this, he understood her so well, and knew that she might not be able to hold on after he left, so in this way, she hoped that she would live well.

Looking at the neat handwriting on the silk, but there was no longer the strong ink color of the past, Princess Pingyang muttered and put it away and stuck it to her heart, "General, don't worry, I will definitely plant an osmanthus in front of your tomb in the cold food every year..."

----

After Wei Qing's funeral was all right, Wei Zifu, who had been taking care of all the funeral affairs, finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell.

The high fever did not go away for three days, and I couldn't stop dreaming in my vague mouth, "Qing'er... Qing'er...", Yun Niang wiped Wei Zifu's forehead with a damp cloth without stopping, and asked with tears in her eyes: "Imperial Doctor Feng, it's been three days in a row, why hasn't the queen's high fever receded?" ”

Imperial Physician Feng, who had white hair and beard, said slowly: "Miss Yun Niang, the queen and the general's sister and brother have been in deep love for decades, and the general left suddenly, the queen must be very sad, and the queen still has something to support when the funeral is not over, and the queen will naturally be difficult to support after the funeral is over." Therefore, the onset of high fever is not necessarily a bad thing, and when the queen's own grief is released, supplemented by medication, it should be fine. ”

"Alas..."Imperial Physician Feng also let out a long sigh, "Love, hate, hatred, hatred, resentment, and separation, how many things do people in the world hide?" ”

In a daze, Wei Zifu seemed to have returned to the thatched hut of his youth. The smoke curled up, the mother was preparing dinner by the stove, the eldest sister Wei Junru and the second sister Wei Shao'er were helping on the side, while she herself was picking up the clothes to dry outside the house, and the figure of Wei Qing returning from salary on the mountain road in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the setting sun cast a shadow of light and dark behind him, "Qing'er...", Wei Zifu shouted at him with a smile.

"Sister..."Wei Qing's swarthy face showed a cheerful smile, but in the blink of an eye, this smile turned into a sallow and emaciated sick face, and it became thinner and thinner, thinner... The sky suddenly darkened, and Wei Qing, who was originally on the mountain road, gradually disappeared into the darkness and slowly disappeared.

"Qing'er..."Wei Zifu chased after him and shouted, suddenly waking up. Empress... Empress! Yun Niang on the side stroked Wei Zifu and called loudly, "Queen! ”

Wei Zifu opened his eyes, sweating profusely and found that he was not next to the mountain road at all, but was still in the Jiaofang Palace, while Yun Niang was looking at her nervously and couldn't stop calling, Wei Zifu replied softly: "Yun Niang..."

"Queen, you're awake!" Yun Niang showed a happy look when she heard this, helped Wei Zifu to sit up slowly, brought water again, fed and drank a few spoonfuls, Wei Zifu said: "Yun Niang, how many days have I slept for a few days?" ”

Yun Niang sent the little palace maid in front of her to bring some rice porridge, and replied: "Queen, today is the fourth day!" ”

Wei Zifu bowed slightly, "It's been so long..."

"Queen, you are scared to death of the slave maid, Your Majesty and the prince have been here several times, and the prince is anxious to shed tears..." ”

"Zifu, you've finally woken up!" Liu Che gave up, and Yun Niang hurriedly retreated.

Wei Zifu was about to salute, Liu Che said with slight disgust: "You're like this, don't do it!" ”

"Your Majesty..."Wei Zifu blamed himself, "The concubine has an untidy appearance, and she has lost her dignity in front of the emperor, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive her sins!" ”

"What is the queen's crime?" Liu Che Wen said, "The general Rong Ma has made great achievements for my Han Dynasty all his life, and now he is gone, the queen is sad, and I am also sad in my heart." However, mortals can't compete with the sky for longevity, the queen should mourn, don't hurt your body! ”

"No!" Wei Zifu had tears in the corners of his eyes, and nodded in response: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"The general is leaving, and the imperial sister is also sad, seeing you two like this, I really can't bear it in my heart." Liu Che sighed and said, "I have been friends with the general for decades, and I have long regarded him as my own brother. ”

Wei Zifu wept and blamed himself: "Your Majesty... It's the concubine body that worries His Majesty! ”

Liu Che shook his head thoughtfully, and said: "It is human nature to separate life and death from sorrow and suffering, but I just want to think that although I am the Son of Heaven and rich and the world's heavenly patrol, I can't control the matter of life and death in my own hands, which is really hateful!" As soon as he said that, his expression darkened.

"The queen is resting!" Liu Che got up and said, "Later, I will ask the prince to come and see you." ”

Wei Zifu hurriedly responded to the promise, and sent Liu Che off to drive, the sun outside was a little dazzling, and when he walked out of the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Che unconsciously blocked it with his hand, and said: "Chuan Luan is big!" ”
