On the last day of Liu Shen's life, he told me two things from the past.

He said: "In the spring of Dao Ji's visit, you lost our first child by having a miscarriage. I received a letter from my mother, and I was worried about you. I know that in your case, it must be difficult and painful. I want to come back to see you right away. I'm ready to go. However, Wu Renming persuaded me not to leave the battlefield and return to the capital, because the soldiers would not think that this was our deep relationship between husband and wife, but that this was the king's emphasis on the country and that he would not live and die with the soldiers, and even think that this was an unfavorable situation in the war, and that the king would abandon them and flee for his life, which would cause chaos on the battlefield and serious consequences. What he said made me hesitate. I was so confused that I had a high fever, but even with a high fever, I hated to fly to you. ”

"After the fever had subsided, I read my mother's letter again, this time, very carefully. I found out that my mother had also written a letter to the general asking for help. I know he's going to go back to see you. If I go back and bump into each other, you will be very embarrassed. I knew he was terminally ill and his days were numbered. So, after thinking about it, I didn't go back and gave him the opportunity. ”

Liu Shen said: "So, I wrote to my mother, saying that I had a high fever and could not come back. But in fact, although I was sick at that time, I was cured the next day, and I was not so sick that I couldn't come back. Then I wrote to your brother and asked him to come back in my place, to take care of you, to comfort you, and to give you the strength to stand up again. ”

My tears welled up like a spring again. It turned out that our last meeting was deliberately fulfilled by Liu Shen! It was Liu Shen who gave you the opportunity, it was Liu Shen who asked you to come back, and it was he who made you able to make up your mind, change your mind that you would never see me before you died, gallop thousands of miles, and come back to say a final goodbye to me.

Liu Shen said: "This is the decision I have regretted the least in many years. I've finally repaid his favor a bit. We're kind of even. ”

I faced Liu Shen and bowed deeply. With deep gratitude from the bottom of my heart, I trembled and said, "King Han." ”

Liu Shen continued to talk about the second incident.

"Qin'er, do you still remember the decisive battle between Yang Biao and Beji Hankel in the thirteenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty? That year, Yang Biao won a big battle. He sent me something from the battlefield. It was a handkerchief. It is embroidered with our family crest. But it was already red with blood. He said it was recovered from Hankel's body. He couldn't figure out why Hankel would have anything from my dynasty. I got this handkerchief and immediately recognized it as yours. I was also deeply puzzled, and pondered for a long time why it was on Hankel's body. ”

When I heard the "handkerchief", my heart moved.

Of the handkerchiefs I used in my life, only one left Miyagi in Yunjing. That was the year you returned to the Hot Spring Palace to recuperate, and the time you sent blooming peach blossoms to the court, I asked Xie Shuangcheng to bring you a return gift. I wrapped the withered peach blossom petals in a handkerchief and asked Xie Shuangcheng to take them to the front line in Qianzhou to give them to you.

I gave you that handkerchief. Why is it in the hands of Hankel?

Liu Shen said: "Later, I finally figured it out. The people of the Hankel tribe must have gotten this thing from him. Hankel must have received this handkerchief from him before he jumped off a cliff on his deathbed. This youngest son of Ullinden Mukhan has always kept it close to him as conclusive proof that the god of war has indeed been destroyed. The blood on the handkerchief was not Hankel's, but from him! ”

Liu Shen said: "It can be seen that when he set off to die, he carried your handkerchief with him. He hopes that your love will accompany him all the way through the last journey of his life. ”

Liu Shen said: "At that time, I hesitated for a long time with the handkerchief to return it to you. In the end, I burned it anyway. While this may be the only thing he has left, I know the blood stains on it are too frightening for you. ”

He said: "In those years, I watched you quietly in pain every day. I don't want to add to your pain any longer. Perhaps, you will still feel pain when you hear about it now. But if I don't say it now, you won't have a chance to know. You want to know. I didn't guess you wrong, did I? ”

Liu Shen said: "Qin'er, he loves you deeply until he dies. Never live up to your affection. Until the last moment of his life. ”

My tears were already wet all over my cheeks.

I sobbed and bowed down deeply again.

Once again, I said with deep feeling: "King Han." ”

Liu Shen reached out and pulled me up. He said: "Qin'er, a lifetime has passed like this. I can't bear to leave you alone in the world. Now I'm going to die, too. After I died, no one could talk to you about him like that. ”

He looked at me with pity and said, "Never again." ”

I couldn't bear the grief in my heart any longer, I threw myself into Liu Shen's arms, and I cried bitterly: "King Han." ”

Liu Shen hugged me tightly again.

He said: "I can now relate to how he felt back then. It is not easy to say goodbye to the life you love. Even if you can conquer the world, you may not be able to let go of this matter freely. When I die, I'll have to entrust you to my children. Although they are filial and can take care of your life thoughtfully, they will not understand how to take care of your heart. ”

Liu Shen said: "When I was alive, you felt lonely every day. But, at least, there is someone around you who can understand your loneliness and can sympathize with your loneliness. And in the future, even the person who understands that you are lonely and understands your loneliness will no longer be there. ”

He said: "Qin'er, in the years to come, you really have to go alone." ”

I shook my head with tears in my eyes and said, "No, King Han, King Han, don't leave me alone." ”

Liu Shen shook his head. He said: "I don't think about it, I don't think about it, but, Qin'er, the limit is coming, and no one can stop it." ”

He said: "I know that you have never been reunited with him in your life, you have been someone else's wife for life, and you will not be willing to be buried with me again after you die, you want to be buried alone, to express your thoughts and loyalty to him." So, before I died, I didn't want to leave any will behind and make you feel embarrassed. When the mausoleum was built, I didn't leave you a place for the future. If you don't want to be buried together, don't be buried together. However, for the sake of the country and for the sake of responsibility, Qin'er, please bear with me again, after death, don't stay away from my Liu family's mausoleum, or please bury you next to me. As my friend. Can you say yes? ”

I said, "Of course." Absolutely. King Han. Qin'er will do what you want, and will be buried next to King Han, just like now, just like this life, always accompanying King Han. Qin'er is not only your friend, Qin'er, but also your wife. What is in this life is, and it will always be. ”

Liu Shen looked at me.

He said, "Thank you." ”

Again, he said, "Thank you." (To be continued.) )
