I watched as the chamberlain brought in with water and waited for you to take your medicine.

I looked at the white powder you carried with you.

I said, "What is this?" ”

You say, "It's a medicine from the new vassal state of the Western Regions." ”

I said, "Is it pain-relieving?" ”

You say, "Yes." ”

My heart twitched. I held back the pain in my heart and the tears that welled up in my heart. I asked, "Do you take it every day?" ”

You say, "Yes." ”

I said, "What if you don't?" ”

You said truthfully: "If not, I don't know if I can enter the palace." ”

I finally couldn't hold back my tears rolling out of my eyes.

I said sadly, "Is this how you came back from such a long way away day and night?" ”

I said, "I'm really guilty." ”

You say, "Qin'er, just as you will do everything to hope that the pain in my body will be calmed, I will also do everything to hope that the pain in your heart will be calmed." ”

We all blurted out, "If you're in pain, I'm not going to find peace." ”

When you said goodbye to me in Zhaoyang Palace, Concubine Wang was reading the secret letter written by Liu Shen to her in Shangyang Palace.

Liu Shen said in the letter: "Mother. The son decided not to come back this time. Please explain it to Qin'er properly on my behalf. The general's days are numbered, and this is goodbye. Please give them time, don't disturb them, and let their brother and sister be able to be alone. ”

Concubine Wang also had tears in her eyes.

She sighed silently in her heart: "My poor son, there are so many women in the world, why can't you leave her alone? Why do you have to wronged yourself like this and fulfill her to such a point? ”

After lamenting the fate of her own son, she could not help but sigh for the fate of both of us.

What a couple who love each other affectionately, but they can only have such an ending.

Thinking of our fleeting life and death in Zhaoyang Palace, the kind and virtuous Concubine Wang couldn't help but cry a handful of sympathy for our fate.

You endured the increasingly ferocious dull pain in your head, and under the lamp in the study of the Lingnan Palace, you wrote a note for Liu Shen.

"King Han, Mrs. Jun's condition has improved a lot, and the ministers will guard her for King Han until she recovers physically and mentally, so that Concubine Taishu and King Han can rest assured. The minister wants to escort Mrs. Jun out of the palace for a few days, go to the Yuanjue Temple in Baojing Peak to pay homage, pray for the blessing of the country, spend time for the fallen Han soldiers, ask for an heir for the King of Han, and let Mrs. Jun leave the sad place of losing her beloved son, go outside to breathe the air, and scatter her heart, I don't know what King Han wants? ”

After seeing your recital, Liu Shen replied: "The general's suggestion is very much in line with my heart. Liu Shen also has this intention, the envoy will follow the letter to declare the decree, and go out of the palace with the edict of Qin'er, and go to Yuanjue Temple to represent Liu Shen, represent the royal family, worship the temple, and pray for the blessing of the country. also asked the general to work hard and personally escort her. After the battle here, I will go to the northern front and wait for you at the Yellow Dragon Fortress. After Qin'er's condition is stabilized, our monarch Huanglong will be for a while. ”

After Liu Shen's envoy followed the letter to announce the edict, I also wrote back to Liu Shen.

"King Han's letter, Qin'er read it. Qin'er did not take care of herself, causing the heir of the Han prince to be damaged, she blamed herself deeply, she was overwhelmed with grief, she was tired of the concubine, the king of Han was worried, and the tired general was sick and ran thousands of miles, and he was very ashamed. Qin'er gradually recovered physically and mentally, and was willing to go to Yuanjue Temple to pay homage and make offerings, recommend the deceased son, exceed the fallen Han soldiers, pray for the blessing of the country, pray for the peace of the concubine Han King, and pray for the continued prosperity of the heirs of the new dynasty. ”

After some correspondence, the trip to Yuanjue Temple was thus confirmed.

Before leaving, you go to Shangyang Palace to bid farewell to Concubine Taishu and ask for Concubine Taishu's will.

Concubine Wang said politely: "There is a general to escort Mrs. Jun, I have nothing to worry about, and I have nothing to order." Over the years, the first thing our mother and son want to thank is the general. If there was no general to help King Han, our mother and son would not be where they are today. The ideals of the Han king's father and son, if they want to realize, are not so smooth and easy. The general is the benefactor of my mother and son. Old me, I want to be the first king, for the king of Han, and deeply thank the general. ”

Concubine Wang said apologetically: "After Qin'er married to Yunjing, she has been in poor health, sick one after another, and now she has an unfortunate miscarriage, it is always me, the mother-in-law, who did not take good care of her, and the old body feels that she is really sorry for her father and loyal mother who sacrificed her life for the country, and I am also sorry for the general's entrustment." This is the old body's true words. ”

Concubine Wang Taishu said to you: "The old man only has the son of King Han in his life, and he has no daughter. Don't worry, general, I will love and cherish Qin'er as my own daughter. Here, the old body gave a word to the general: no matter what happens in the future, she will always be the wife of the Han King and the mistress of this harem. My mother and son will never be a cold villain, which makes the general sad and the Han army soldiers cold. King Han will always remember those who have contributed to the community, and will never fail to live up to their sacrifices and dedication. ”

You look at Concubine Wang. You understand exactly what she's saying and what she's promised.

She knows that you have decided to die for your country, that you have decided to die on the battlefield before the new dynasty is established, and this is her promise to you. If you die for the country, for the new dynasty, and for Liu Shen, Liu Shen will promise to ensure my status as queen and the prince as the future prince. This is the commitment of Liu Shen's mother and son to the entire army. They ensure that the future prince is the close blood of the founders of the two generations of Han army, and they are one flesh and blood with the Han army, sharing honor and disgrace. This will never change because of your death.

You salute respectfully and thank Concubine Wang for this promise.

You say: "The ministers understand, the ministers are grateful, and the ministers thank the concubine and the king of Han for their reliance and trust in the Han army." ”

On the grounds of the itinerary of the visit to Yuanjue Temple, Wu Shun came to Zhaoyang Palace to meet me.

After saying goodbye to Jinfeng Village, I was finally able to talk to Wu Shun again.

I longed to meet him, the only one who could tell me a lot of things you wouldn't tell me.

I'm so eager to know what kind of life you've been living all these years of being separated from each other and not being able to hear from you.

"Meet the Princess." Wu Shun came to the door and bowed his head.

I hurriedly got out of my seat and asked people to help me to see my seat.

I said, "Junko." Why is it necessary for a family to be so polite. Get up quickly. ”

I looked at Wu Shun's equally dark, thin and vicissitudes of life, and I felt sad for a while.

I asked, "When did you get this deep scar on your face?" ”

Wu Shun said: "Left by Entu during the war. It's all right. ”

I couldn't hold back my tears.

My voice trembled and I said, "It's me, it's me!" Thank you, in the shadow of the sword and sword, you have always guarded him, taken care of him, and accompanied him. It's me, and I should thank you deeply for my father and my wife! ”

When Wu Shun heard this, his eyes also burst into tears.

He choked up: "Some scars can be seen, and some are in the heart, no one can see them." Miss has also changed a lot over the years, and the reunion after a long absence makes people feel sad. ”

After feeling sorry for each other for a while, I said, "Junko, tell me about you all these years." I'm in the deep palace, and I don't know much about anything. I know not only too late, but too little about Hanjun, about you, and about him. ”

So, Wu Shun began his long story. A large part of the long story that you hear today comes from his long narrative that day.

After listening to Wu Shun's account of your arduous fighting life over the years, I have already burst into tears and can't cry.

I said, "Junko, my heart hurts. It hurts to powder. ”

"Miss" Wu Shun's tears also welled up again.

He said, "I'm stupid and don't know how to comfort someone. ”

I said, "There is no way to comfort such heartache." I can only bear it myself. ”
