Chapter 34: All the Dust Is Gone
"yes. ”
"Lian Bi, I don't know if I can see the magnolia flowers next year when they bloom. ”
"Ma'am. Lian Bi's eyes are red.
"I'm delaying you. ”
"Madame, wait a little longer. ”
"It's they who are waiting for me, I can't keep them waiting for long. ”
Lian Bi helped Xuan Chen back to the house to rest, and put the soup woman at Xuan Chen's feet.
"Ma'am, sleep well. ”
Xuan Chen was drowsy for a few days, and at night he took advantage of Lian Bi to sleep, got dressed and went outside alone, leaning on the pillar, not knowing what he was waiting for.
Yanqing took the palm of Qianchen's surprise attack and forcibly led Qianchen outside.
Xuan Chen walked under the plum tree with the lantern, hung the lantern on the plum branch, broke a plum blossom and leaned against the tree. Untied the bag tied around his waist, the magnolia yellow one really didn't look like it. The snow fell on the clothes, some slippery, some accumulated.
Yin Shi Ling Yunxiao came in through the back door, squatted aside, and took the magnolia in Xuan Chen's hand. Lian Bi suddenly woke up from her dream and saw that Xuan Chen was not in bed.
"Princess!"
Lian Bi pounced on Xuan Chen, shook Xuan Chen awake, and the front door creaked open. Lian Bi hugged Xuan Chen and looked at the person in front of him vigilantly. The person who came was Ling Xiaoyun's younger brother Ling Xiaohan, who had never seen him before.
"What are you going to do!"
Ling Xiaohan ignored Lian Bi at all, and roughly put the two of them into the carriage, and Xuan Chen fell into Lian Bi's arms. It was the second night when the carriage stopped again, and I only looked at the plaque in the courtyard that said Meiwu.
On the third day, Ling Xiaoyun came during the day, bringing some medicine.
"You go out first, this king has something to say to the princess. ”
Lian Bi stood still.
"Go ahead. Xuan Chen instructed.
"The slave maid went down first to decoct the princess. ”
"This is one of my annexes. The first pass is the army of Beigu. I don't know if it was He Yan or Ye Chu who led the leader. The spy reported that Ye Chu had sneaked here from the main line. ”
"What does the prince want to say?"
"Beigong Mingye betrayed his covenant with my father. ”
"So?"
"The poisoned wine last time was given by my father, but this king stopped it. This time, you need to write a letter by hand to let the North Lone Army retreat. ”
"Good. ”
"If you don't retreat?" Ling Xiaoyun didn't expect Xuan Chen to agree so happily.
"If you don't retreat, go to the city tower in person. ”
Ling Xiaoyun looked at Xuan Chen thoughtfully.
"But I have one condition. ”
Ling Xiaoyun didn't continue.
"This letter must be sent out by Lian Bi. ”
"I'll come in three days to get the letter. ”
"Good. ”
Lian Bi hid behind and eavesdropped on the two of them, crying silently.
"Ma'am. ”
"You hear it all. ”
"Hmm. Lian Bi choked out indistinctly.
"Walk with me in Merlin?"
"Okay, the slave and maid tie the cloak to Madame. ”
"How is this Plum Courtyard in Meiwu Biye Mansion?"
"Madame likes white plums, so Meiwu is better, and there are more red plums in the plum courtyard. ”
"yes. It would be good to be buried under the white plum tree and get a wisp of plum fragrance every year. ”
"Madam, Lord Ling said that Lord Hou has come. If the Hou Ye can retire the army for his wife, the wife and the Hou Ye..."
"There's no going back. ”
"Does Madame regret it?"
"Nope. ”
Lian Bi accompanied Xuan Chen as she walked, and there were plum petals and deep and shallow footprints on the snow.
Xuan Chen and Lian Bi sat around the charcoal fire in the house. Lian Bi sat on a small stool and carried the charcoal basin.
"Open that box and take out the contents. ”
"The prince still remembers. ”
Xuan Chen tore up the paintings one by one, burned some paper manuscripts, and left only one painting, which was locked in the box. Lian Bi didn't stop it, she hoped that Xuan Chen would have a comfortable time during this time, but when did she feel comfortable again.
"Ling Xiaoyun will come to pick up the letter today. ”
"When you go back, you can take all the jewelry and money in my house, live a good life, and live comfortably. ”
"Good girl, what are you crying about. ”
Ling Xiaoyun knocked on the door and left with Xin and Lian Bi.
Xuan Chen bowed his knees slightly and saluted Ling Xiaoyun, "I didn't expect that the only person I could trust at this time was the prince." ”
"Your national teacher doesn't know where to go, and your brother Wang is attacking the city in your name, and this king will see whether Marshal Ye Chu chooses the country or a beauty. ”
Lian Bi couldn't stop looking back.
Xuan Chen leaned against the pillar to support his body.
"Lord Wang, if you really retire from the army, will the princess come out safely?"
"Yes. Ling Xiaoyun pursed his lips.
Lian Bi held the letter tightly, and not far from the city gate was the army station.
"General, the envoy of Liangguo and Miss Lianbi are here. ”
"Hurry up and invite Miss Lianbi to come in, and the messenger will be placed for the time being. He Yan commanded.
"General He Yan. ”
"Miss Lian Bi doesn't have to be polite, please get up. ”
"This is the princess's handwriting. Xuan Chen took out a handkerchief folded into a small piece from his belt.
"This is the princess's letter. ”
The handkerchief read, "The general calls for himself." The letter is what Ling Xiaoyun has read.
"Miss Lianbi, let's settle in the rear for the time being. ”
"General He, the princess is still imprisoned..."
"Someone, take Miss Lianbi down to rest. ”
"Yes. ”
After waiting for a few days, the army had no intention of retreating, but kept inquiring into the city.
Seven days later, the army was ready to attack the city. The battle is scorching, and the city gates are about to be broken.
Ling Xiaohan grabbed Xuan Chenqiang to go up to the city tower, and on the way, Xuan Chen fell on the snow several times and was dragged away.
"Second brother?"
"For a woman, you stop your father, her brother and husband don't want her, is it possible that you want it?"
All the soldiers stopped, and Ling Xiaohan's sword hung around Xuan Chen's neck. When Ling Xiaohan was about to shout, an arrow hit Ling Xiaohan's forehead.
"Second brother!" Ling Xiaoyun caught Ling Xiaohan's body with an arrow step. Ling Xiaohan's eyes bulged and he fell.
Ye Chu appeared in the middle of the line, with a bow and arrow in his hand, looking at Xuan Chen.
Xuan Chen's dress was a little messy, her hair ornament was only a magnolia hairpin, the blood from the corner of her mouth slowly seeped out, the snow was fluttering, she looked at Ye Chu and smiled, and jumped off the city tower.
He Yan looked at Ye Chu and didn't know how to give the order.
Ye Chu rushed to hug Xuan Chen's corpse, and the blood slowly stained the snow and his dress.
A heavy snowfall covered everything.
Ye Chu violated the military order and ordered the slaughter of the palace. Seventy-seven royal families of the Liang Kingdom died in this war.
Bai Yuan took Lian Bi to Meiwu.
"Master Hou. ”
"Was it here before Chen'er?"
"The princess has nothing left for the princess, everything is burned. I don't have anything to say to the slave maid to the Hou Ye. ”
The princess only said that the plum blossoms in this plum wood are really good, but it is a pity that she can't wait for the magnolia flowers to bloom next year, but it is also good to have the fragrance of white plums, so she wants to be buried here. ”
"The slave maid once asked the princess when she was appreciating the plum blossoms with the princess in this plum wood, if the princess can retire for the princess, what will the princess do, will she rebuild the old with the princess?"
The princess said, it's not important, the love given out of the heart over the years can't be faked, the love is voluntary, whether it can get the right result or not, whether it is good or not, it depends on whether you regret it or not. If you don't regret it, you have truly gone through a period of time. That's not for nothing. ”
"The slave asked the princess, do you regret it?"
"How do you say that?" Ye Chu's voice trembled a little.
The princess said that she would not regret it. ”
The reason why the slave didn't follow the princess was that she wanted to ask the Hou Ye in person. Does Hou Ye regret it?
"What's going on with this pill?"
"Did Hou Ye originally do this for this? This is what the princess asked for the national teacher, isn't the princess of Hou Ye Jue a charm? The princess is also afraid that she often takes medicine, and then the princess sees that Hou Ye really likes children, and the national teacher tells the princess that there is half hope, and the princess stops the medicine. ”
"You know?"
"I didn't know, it was the slave who accidentally listened to the conversation between the national teacher and the princess, and the Hou Ye could rest assured that the national teacher and the princess had nothing to do. ”
"Does Master Hou regret it?" asked Lian Bi.
Ye Chu had no way to exit.
The princess misses Li Cong in her heart, and she often thinks of Li Cong in Meiwu here, hoping that the Hou Ye can take good care of Li Cong. After Lian Bi finished speaking, he withdrew.
Ye Chu was locked up in Meiwu for many days and left a piece of paper.
"Love starts from oneself, only regret and negative heart"
Ye Chu aged ten years old overnight, and he added a lot of gray hair. After burying Xuan Chen, he returned to China with half of the army, He Yan was ordered to stay in Liangguo to wait for the order, and the news of Xuan Chen's death had already been transmitted back quickly.
Beigong Mingye sat in the ancestral pavilion, the Buddhist beads were broken, the beads were scattered all over the ground, and Xuan Chen's clothes were buried in the imperial tomb. Li Cong locked himself in Xuan Chen's room for a long time, took out the harness and bow and arrow from the box, wiped it many times and took it back, no one knew what Li Cong was thinking.
Lian Bi asked herself to stay in Meiwu, and the magnolia flowers bloomed the next year. Lian Bi picked a white magnolia, put it in her arms with the letter left by Ye Chu, and lit candles everywhere in the house.
Spread out the half of Ye Chu's painting, and Xuan Chen's continued painting, kneeling down in front of the painting.
"Princess, they are all afraid that you are a demon and a scourge, but Lian Bi is not afraid, Lian Bi will come to accompany you. Lian Bi also brought her favorite magnolia to the princess, as well as a letter from the Hou Ye. The princess has to walk slowly, waiting for Lianbi on the Meng Po Bridge. ”
The fire in the house grew brighter and brighter. Lian Bi hugged the painting and slept peacefully.
The news was transmitted back to Beiguguo, and Bai Yuan knew that Houkong looked at the cuffs of his clothes in a daze.
"Second Highness, the love of mortal dust is over, drink this cup of forgotten dust brew. ”
Qi Lang sat at the table and slowly opened his eyes, staring at the yellowed magnolia in his hand, looking sad.
"You didn't write a relationship with Xuan Chen to this hall... Hmm!" Qi Lang snorted and fainted.
"Si Ming Xingjun, everything that should be done has been done for you, this Shenjun will go first. ”
Yan Qing ran away with a smoke on the soles of his feet.
Si Ming carefully straightened Qi Lang's body, and while still muttering, "Third Highness, this is what you promised Xiaoxian before, and you are about to ascend to God, seeing that the road ahead is very good, you can't give it up for the sake of Xiaoai, Xiaoxian is all for your good, yes, drink it obediently." Si Ming poured the forgotten dust brew into Qi Lang's stomach.
Yan Qing returned to the Yizhu Forest, the demon queen had already applied the Gu, and soon the poison was detoxified, and then the Gu was lured out, and Qianling would be able to wake up. Yanqing accompanied Zhishui to keep watch in the house day and night.
The Demon Emperor went to the mortal world again, found Meiwu, took Xuan Chen's body, and sealed it in the Xuanbing coffin.
Half a month later, Qianling woke up.
"I've slept for more than twenty years?!" Qian Ling jumped out of bed in shock.
Yan Qing looked at the lively Qianling in front of him and felt real.
"Can you rest for a while?"
"After lying down for so long, you have to relax your muscles and bones. Mountains and rivers gods, how did he heal me?"
"My father can't cure any incurable diseases. ”
"Then why have you been lying down for so long?"
"Your wound is too deep and hasn't healed, I'm afraid you'll wake up and scare yourself to death. ”
"What did you say?"
"No, which spider is poisonous, and it has been raised for a long time, do you understand how to fight poison with poison?"
"Huh, is there a bug crawling inside me?"
Yan Qing rolled his eyes.
The demon emperor and the demon queen all went to Yizhulin to see Qianling, and in order to ensure stability, Qianling was left in Yizhulin for a while, and Yanqing took care of it. Zhishui looked at Qianling and resigned.
"The minister voluntarily asked to guard the western border. This is Ye Chu's third request, and Beigong Mingye agreed.
Wei Yun followed the child to the west and lived in a separate courtyard. Li Cong was taken to the palace, and he didn't know if Beigong Mingye owed it or how, he was very good to Li Cong. In many places, I have personally taught them.
Qianchen looked at Ye Chu and felt a state of mind in his heart. Using dementorship as an illusion, Ye Chu sketched a dream about Xuan Chen's death, which he dreamed of every day, slowly erasing his original memory.
"Is this okay?" Nian Xin asked.
"A dream in three days is not true, a dream in March is false, a dream in three years is false, and a dream in a few years will come true. ”
Immortals are immortal for one day and one year in the mortal world. Ye Chu is no longer the Ye Chu he used to be, he is in a trance every day. He is sixty-seven years old, and he will be sixty-eight next summer. Ye Chu sat on the chair, hung his head, and looked at the snow flying outside the door, and the snow fell on the trees thickly.
Two attendants walked into the house with new charcoal braziers.
"There are a few magnolia trees in this yard that haven't bloomed in decades. ”
"Didn't you say that? It is said that in the past, the first wife of the Hou Ye was the princess of the Northern Lonely Country who liked Magnolia the most, and before she died, she always wanted to see Magnolia, maybe this thing is strange!"
The two of them shook their heads and sighed.
The attendant entered the house with a coal-basin.
"Master Hou, the slave closed the door, and it was snowing outside. ”
"Master Hou?"
"Master Hou?"
The two looked at each other and hurriedly ran outside to report.
Ye Lin packed up Ye Chu's relics, and there was nothing superfluous. It's just that there are dozens of boxes all of them with scrolls and scrolls. Ye Lin unfolded a few paintings, either Magnolia, or the so-called Princess Xuanchen. There are joys and hatreds, joys and sorrows.
Wei Yun opened each painting, looked at it and put it away again.
"Let's send them all to the funeral. ”
"Yes, Mother. ”
Wei Yun glanced up at the clouds in the sky and lowered his head.
Qian Ling shook the jade bracelet on his wrist.
"Thousand ~ Spirit. ”
"You did it yourself?"
"Naturally. ”
"Really?"
"Believe it or not. ”
"Cut. ”
"The hair button on your head is going to break. ”
"That's because the quality of your bracelet is not good. ”
"I~phew!"
The two played all the way in the Yizhu Forest.
Si Ming waited at the gate of heaven early.
"Second Highness. "Ye Chu's immortal body is weak, and most of his immortal power is scattered, and the immortals can't do it.
"Xingjun. ”
Si Ming looked at Ye Chu and knew that this catastrophe was extremely bad.
"Second Highness hasn't forgotten?"
Ye Chu left with his back hand.
The pen in the temple could not be put down for a long time.
There is no way to remember, how can I paint?
