Chapter 7: A River of Sorrow (2)
?
"Sister, I'm not worth ......"
"Silly sister. "My sister 'touched' my hair lovingly, her eyes were soft, "We love you, just like you love 'Jade', love is not worth it, you are willing to stick to your heart for 'Jade', and give up a better life in the future, so why can't I give up myself for you, and protect my sister you!"
My heart was so shocked that I threw myself into my sister's arms and cried.
How can I be so 'selfish', because of my sorrow, I have to love my family deeply and carry this heavy feeling.
After my sister left, I sat quietly for a long time, and when I saw the frost falling and burning benzoin, I said lightly, "Don't order it again." Everyone looked at me in amazement, and I sighed, "I've slept for too long, and I won't need to order it anymore." "Although they didn't speak, but everyone had a relieved look on their faces, and I laughed self-deprecatingly, I'm afraid they are not having a good time these days.
However, I slept too much some time ago, and after removing the benzoin, I couldn't sleep.
In the dead night, the sound of the wind blowing the grass, the sound of the snow 'flowers' falling, and the sound of the candle flame flickering and extinguishing are subtle but still audible to me.
And mixed with these sounds, there seem to be some different sounds.
"What a sound is outside, a bell ringing, like a bell. "I asked about the 'vernal equinox'.
'Chunfen' listened carefully for a while, and said, "It's about the bell ringing!"
"Ringing the bell, who is lifting the bell!"
"Chunfen said with a smile: "Who else can there be, naturally it is the palace people, since Niangniang was sick, the emperor got the Xuanyuan Temple revelation, and let the palace people raise the bell every day around the Yaoguang Palace, so as to drive away evil spirits and bless Niangniang Feng's health!"
"Yes. I said lightly, "Have you been carrying it like this all these days since I was sick, I haven't heard it before!"
"Yes, there was benzoin lit in the mother's bedroom before, and it was normal for the mother to not hear it. "Spring Equinox smiled again and said, "Maybe it's really effective, isn't it good to be a mother!"
If there is such a miracle, why do you light benzoin and feed me 'medicine' when I can't help myself, but just say it to comfort me.
The bell rang from far and near, faintly and quietly, and seemed to linger at the 'door' for a while, and then faded away, and detoured to other places, but after a while, the bell came back, and I frowned and asked, "How long will it take for this bell to stop!"
'Chun' said: "I want to mention it all night, and stop after dawn!"
I was silent for a long time, thinking about the heavy snow outside, and sighed: "It's hard for him, you can prepare me some silver bounty for him!"
The corners of the 'Chun' mouth twitched slightly, and he responded in a low voice: "Yes!"
Day 2, Day 3, Day 4...... For several days, I could hear the bell every night, but I was still hiding in my dormitory, refusing to go out, and refusing to see people, my condition was also good and bad, and I drank the 'medicine' sent when I was in a good mood, and when I remembered the 'jade', I didn't drink it, and I didn't want them to order any more benzoin.
That night, I heard the bell ringing again, and I seemed to be used to falling asleep to such a bell every night, and waking up to such a bell every night.
I couldn't sleep tonight, and suddenly I wanted to see this bell bearer, so I asked the 'spring' to change my clothes, and the 'spring' said urgently: "Niangniang, it's windy and snowy outside, and your body hasn't healed yet......"
"It's okay, I'll wear more, you can carry me with a chariot. "Ignoring their dissuasion, I lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
'Spring' was so frightened that I hurriedly called someone over and helped me get dressed!
I put on my fur jacket and put on a crane, and I was carried into the dormitory and carried me out.
The goose 'feathers' are blowing in the snow, and the 'mystery' is far from the human eye, and even the palace lamps in the distance can't be seen clearly, and only a slender figure can be faintly recognized.
"Liu Youyu, go and call him over, 'spring', let you prepare the reward!"
Liu Youyu hurriedly went to call people, and 'Chun' held the silver purse and lowered his head, without saying a word.
When the bell was approaching, the bell-bearer covered with snow 'flowers' walked in front of me, and I was suddenly stunned, covering my lips with my palms, afraid that I would not be able to help crying bitterly.
"Auntie, why did you come out. He asked.
I bit my palm hard, swallowed the bitter water, let go of my hand and said, "How could it be you!"
This bell bearer is actually enlightened.
Qi Min smiled and said: "I heard that if the bell is in the body, those demons will not dare to approach, the effect is better, I think I have also been named the king of Langya County, and I am also a nobleman, so I ......"
I looked at him in a daze and asked, "Are you all these days!"
He smiled: "Sincerely, naturally there must be a beginning and an end!"
So, he's ringing the bell these days.
I glanced at the snow in the yard, then at Qi Min's boots, my eyes were jerky, and said, "I'm almost ready, you don't have to come again tomorrow!"
But he said, "How can you be considered good in the way you are now, when you are completely well, I will not come!"
I saw that he kept carrying the bell and didn't put it down, so I said, "You don't have to keep carrying it, put it down, I'll let someone bring a cup of hot tea!"
"No need. He hurriedly stopped him and said, "I'm going to finish the night, and I can't stop it!"
"You ......" I reached out to grab his bell, but found that he refused to let go, I don't know if my strength was too small, or he held it too tightly, but I found a flash of pain on his face, startled, his hands covered his hands, the tentacles were cold, as if they were frozen into ice sculptures, I didn't dare to move again, for fear of tearing off a piece of his skin, my tears could no longer hold back, rolling down.
"Auntie, you, don't be sad, I'll go to the fire room and roast it later. "When he saw me crying, he panicked.
I cried, "You fool. After saying these words, he couldn't cry anymore, and he couldn't open his mouth anymore.
He had a sad face and whispered more sadly than me: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I'm really useless, I'm always ...... Always unable to protect the ...... they love"
I cried so much that I couldn't breathe, and the 'spring' persuaded me: "Niangniang is weak, let's go back to the palace!"
Qi Min said, "Hurry up and carry Concubine Rao in, and serve her well!"
'Spring' agreed to the promise, and summoned the little eunuch who was standing far away to carry me back.
I lay on the bed, listened to the ringing of the bells, cried and fell asleep, and when I woke up the next morning, I said to the 'spring equinox': "In the future, three meals a day, as well as the 'medicine' prescribed by the imperial doctor, will be delivered on time!"
The 'spring' was overjoyed and nodded again and again.
Qiheng heard that I was willing to take 'medicine', so he sent a lot of supplements, and asked Taiyi Ling and Shen Qi to come over every day for consultation, under such a 'fine' heart conditioning, I finally recovered before the New Year, although my 'legs' still couldn't move normally, but Taiyi Ling said that as long as I kept applying needles and 'medicine', I could still return to normal.
The bleak clouds of Yaoguang Palace finally dissipated somewhat, and the bell of enlightenment was finally completed after seven hundred and forty-nine days.
