Chapter Twenty-Four: The Stone House's Night Talk
King Wu's convoy left, and Queen Yayu almost collapsed, but she couldn't hold back anymore and let out a "wow" sound.
King Yue was ridiculed and ridiculed, and she had to pretend to be happy and heartless, she understood how painful Gou Jian's heart was.
All this was more unbearable for her than it fell on her own head. She felt sorry for her king.
When Fan Li saw Yayu crying sadly, he panicked and wanted to help Yayu, but Yayu was the queen, and he didn't dare to touch her body, so he had to say: "Don't cry, queen, come into the house." When we are sad, don't let others see it. ”
As the mother of the country, it is rude to let others see it casually, not to mention crying in public, which is a big bargain. Yayu naturally knows these truths.
She hid her face with her hands and turned back into the house crying. Unexpectedly, a low threshold tripped and fell forward.
This time, Fan Li panicked, forgetting that there was something else between men and women, and stretched out his hand to hold Yayu. Yayu also subconsciously hugged Fan Li's arm.
Holding Yayu, he entered the bedroom. Fan Li made the bed, dusted off the dust, and then helped Yayu and said, "Queen, please sit down and rest." ”
Sima Zhe and his brothers saw this scene. These days, Fan Li married Sima Zhe and taught them the skills to make a living. There are also gifts for more than a dozen soldiers. Everyone is grateful, and they have long ceased to be treated as prisoners.
Sima Zhe quietly walked in: "Doctor Fan, say if you need help." ”
Fan Li said, "Thank you, Lord Sima. Mrs. is not feeling well, she wants to rest for a while, and she will ask adults for help if she has something to do. ”
Sima Zhe said softly: "Okay then." "Withdrew.
Yayu couldn't stop crying. Fan Li wrung out the face towel and handed it to Yayu: "Queen-"
Yayu took the towel and wiped his face.
Fan Li said sadly: "The queen forgives her sins, Fan Li is incompetent and can't share the king's worries." ”
Yayu sobbed and said, "How can I blame you for this? The king and the palace can still live in the world, thanks to the general's hard work, Yayu is not a fool, and he has clear grievances. Yayu hated the thief. ”
Fan Li said: "The queen is cautious. This can only be said in front of the ministers. Even in front of Sima Zhe and these people, there must not be the slightest revelation. We are in a very dangerous situation, and the consequences of the slightest carelessness are unimaginable. ”
Yayu said: "Thank you for the general's reminder, this Yayu naturally knows." ”
Fan Li said: "The queen lies down and rests, Fan Li will go to work first, and will come to accompany you later." ”
Although Fan Li is kind to Sima Zhe, he has always kept a low profile, although Sima Zhe no longer wants them to do the thing of raising horses, but Fan Li still insists on doing it with the soldiers.
Sima Zhe said: "Doctor Fan, today's situation is special, you go to talk to your wife, we will do this work." ”
Fan Li said: "Thank you for your understanding. Then he poured a bowl of warm water, went into the house, and said, "Queen, drink water." ”
Yayu shook his head: "Yayu doesn't want to drink water." Then the tears flowed again.
Fan Li said: "Excessive grief can hurt the body. Queen, please take a sip of water. ”
Yayu took it, took a sip, put it down, and let the tears flow, Fan Li took the face towel, gently wiped away Yayu's tears, and said, "Queen, please don't be too sad." Listen to the minister: You are not only a woman, you are also the wife of a king, the mother of a nation. Although the Yue Kingdom is now fragmented, and although the king is now reduced to a prisoner, the queen still has to maintain the courage and bearing of the mother of the country. You don't just belong to yourself, you belong to all the people of Vietnam. With you, the king can persevere, get through the difficulties, and hope for the restoration of the country. ”
Yayu was born in a noble family, the daughter of Jinggong of the Song Kingdom, and received a good education since childhood. Of course, I know how important it is. She said: "It is because of these that Yayu gritted his teeth and survived. The general's loyalty, Yayu deeply admired. ”
That night, Yayu didn't have dinner. Fan Li was repeatedly persuaded but still didn't eat. Sima Zhe ran home to get a few tea eggs, and under Fan Li's repeated persuasion, he ate two tea eggs and went to bed early.
The streets were also quiet, and the only sound in the stone houses was the sound of horses grazing. Yayu slept, Fan Li naturally couldn't stay in her house, but she didn't feel at ease to rest, so she stood outside the door to keep vigil.
Fan Li stood in the dark, there was a feeling of exhaustion, from the moment he crossed over, he seemed to have become the protagonist of this matter, he had to deal with not only Fucha and Wu Zixu, but also kept persuading King Yue, and now he had to stabilize Queen Yayu's emotions. Whatever the problem is, it's a matter of the sky falling.
He felt that he was powerless, and in his previous life, he was only a small company commander, and his ability and knowledge were not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of a country's military commander. But a crossing put him in this position. He discovers that things are not as simple as charging into battle. Now he has to fight not only bravely, but also wisely.
Although he inherited the knowledge, wisdom and martial arts of the original owner, he would rather charge into battle and be shrouded in horse leather. I don't want to engage in conspiracy here, it's too tiring.
"Who am I? Am I Fan Li or Fan Li? When he is not working, he often has some inexplicable thoughts in his head.
A voice said, "It doesn't matter who I am, it's important to do a good job." ”
Another voice said, "I really don't want to do it, I can't do this job, I'm too tired, I'm tired." ”
But the first voice said: "This is not easy to do, unless you die, someone will naturally take over and finish the work, and history cannot be changed." Are you willing to die? ”
"I don't want to."
"Is this terrible? Work hard, don't think about it. ”
"But I don't know why I did it. I don't know if it's worth it. ”
"It's all about it! Personal honor and disgrace, meritorious service, high-ranking officials, and glorious court, those are all illusory things. Guarding the way of heaven and doing everything in order to seek peace in the world is the essence of life. ”
Two different voices were arguing, and Fan Li was in a trance for a while. It seems to float in the void, and when the wind blows, it will disappear without a trace.
Yayu snorted softly in the house, Fan Li hurriedly entered the house and lit the lamp: "The queen is awake?" Come, take a sip of water. ”
Yayu raised his head, didn't take it, took a sip of water in Fan Li's hand, and lay down again: "Fan Li, you go to sleep, you will be tired of keeping vigil for me like this." He didn't call the official name, just called Fan Li's name.
Fan Li said: "The king is not here, this is what the minister should do." ”
Yayu said: "I slept and was no longer sleepy. If you don't go to sleep, talk to Yayu. ”
Fan Li said: "The minister obeys the order. "Reach out and get a pillow to make the queen sleep more comfortably. The body fragrance of Yayu floated out faintly, and Fan Li didn't feel his heart fluttering. Hurriedly gathered his mind and looked at his chest.
The light was dim, Yayu looked at Fan Li's handsome face, her heart moved, and she sighed secretly: "How fortunate the king is to have such a loyal and wise person to assist. ”
Yayu sighed, and said in an astringent voice: "Fan Li, you really know how to take care of people." You are not only a general in command of thousands of troops, but also a good man. I suddenly had an idea, if we are not a monarch and a minister, but ...... But...... How nice it would be if you were my brother! ”
Fan Li panicked: "Queen, the big gift ......"
Yayu smiled: "I just said this in private." Your wife is so lucky, is she okay? ”
Fan Li felt a burst of sadness in his heart: "After returning to the queen, on the day the country was broken, more than a dozen maidservants had already committed suicide and martyrdom with more than a dozen maidservants. ”
After being silent for a while, Yayu raised her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of Fan Li's eyes, and said, "Brother, you have paid too much for Yue Guo!" ”
