Chapter 19: The clear water is cold

This night, when it was already over, there was a light cough in the house, which lasted for about a cup of tea, almost uninterrupted.

Murong Jin didn't like too many people to serve in close quarters, so he sent most of the palace attendants to the outer courtyard far away from the inner house. Only Dong Xian, who was arranged in the side room, heard this small voice, so he put on his robe, carried the palace lamp, and came to the door lightly, "Your Highness? ”

"Come in."

Hearing this, Dong Xian pushed the door in, lit the lamp with the faint light, and saw that Murong Jin had come down to put on a robe, and his dark hair hung down to make his face even paler.

"Your Highness is guilty of an old disease, so the slave went to get some medicine?"

Murong Jin's voice was a little hoarse, "No need, it's just that I was stunned and choked when I woke up." ”

The days went on for some time, and I was often haunted by nightmares, and when I woke up, I could no longer sleep, and during the day I was very tired, and I slept unconscious when I took a nap, and I had to be woken up by others.

Although I wanted to fall asleep again, my mind was so clear that I couldn't speak. Murong Jin simply took this "Quartet Chronicles" to pass the time. Dong Xian burned some garan incense in the incense beast and silently guarded behind Murong Jin.

Today is a month and a half, and the princes don't have to go to the school palace to study, which can be regarded as a day off. Murong Jin felt that his body was very tired and he had no strength, so he was ready to take this day to catch up on sleep.

I finally fell asleep a little, and was woken up by a noise. But he didn't want to pay attention to it, so he rolled over and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

The noise came from the outer courtyard, and Ruomei had just returned from the Gaoyang Palace, and he had a gloomy face. It is said that he was reprimanded by His Majesty for being in a bad mood, and when he caught someone, he found some trumped-up charges and began to reprimand. Everyone knew that Ruomei was sent by His Majesty, and those palace people could only be trained with their heads down.

At this time, Dongxian decocted the medicine and was about to serve it to the inner courtyard, when he was stopped by Ruomei, "The one that serves the medicine, is it the medicine you decocted for His Highness every day?" ”

"Aunt Hui, it's a minion."

"You come with me to the Imperial Doctor's Office."

Dongxian was puzzled: "Your Highness's medicine ......"

"It's down—"

......

After a few more days, Murong Jin felt that he was gradually gaining some energy, so he chose a dusk and took Dongxian out for a walk.

Before I knew it, I was at the side of the blue lake, and the once flourishing peach blossoms were still withering, leaving only a little brown under the tree, but the new branches of the branches were pulled out early, and the new leaves still looked green in the darkness. Only the drape of the Nabi Lake Pavilion was still gently fluttering in the wind.

Murong Jin approached the lake and sighed softly.

Just as he was about to step onto the verandah, his fingertips suddenly hurt like pins and needles, and his heart beat violently.

Murong Jin's heart was not good, and he reached out into his sleeve, which was indeed empty. Only then did I remember that I didn't wear Zhuohu on my body today, but I pretended to be indifferent and ordered: "Dongxian, go back and take the white bottle of plain noodles from my jade bottle, I want to take some new shoots from the tree, hurry-"

Although Dong Xian couldn't understand His Highness's thoughts, he still hurried towards the Floating Moon Palace.

Murong Jin's little face was pale, cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead, and his eyes were already a little blurry. Consciousness was gradually dissipating, and Murong Jin wanted to grab the railing on the verandah, but it was empty. When I woke up, half of my body was already immersed in the lake.

The lake gradually submerged Murong Jin's small body, and he didn't know how to swim or struggle. As if his soul had been drained all of a sudden, he watched the darkening sky ripple slightly under the filter of the lake, and gradually fade away.

Now it is spring, but the water of the blue lake is still biting, as if pricking every inch of skin.

I don't know how deep the water of Bihu Lake is, as if it can't fall to the bottom like an endless hell.

It is said that a palace lady once fell down, and when she picked it up, she lost her breath. Murong Jin suddenly felt that this blue lake was like an abyss that swallowed people.

At first, the body could not move, and could only gradually drift with the water waves, like fallen leaves floating on the water, there was an unreal sense of drift, but it was unexpectedly extremely soothing. Something seemed to be passing by quickly, something like life, flying by. His chest seemed to be pressed by some heavy object, and Murong Jin raised his eyelids a little weakly, feeling that he would fall asleep at any time.

At this time, there is no resentment, no suspicion, no calculation, no sorrow in my mind.

The pictures from childhood to adulthood flashed in front of me one by one, but they were exceptionally clear, there was no sadness, only happy memories.

Murong Jin felt that he was tired and couldn't lift his eyelids anymore, so he closed his eyes and felt that it was better to fall asleep like this.

Before closing the eyes, there seems to be a pink figure next to the lakeshore, like the peach blossoms that bloom most in spring.

.......

I don't know how long it took, but it seemed like a lifetime.

Murong Jin seemed to hear someone talking in his ear, far and near, and he couldn't hear it very clearly.

"Wake up, don't sleep ......"

"Don't sleep ......"

"I told you not to sleep...... Did you hear that? There was a faint sobbing.

It seemed that this voice was a little noisy, disturbing people's dreams, and Murong Jin really opened his eyes with difficulty. Before I could see what I was looking for, I felt a violent choking sensation in my chest. Murong Jin began to cough violently, and the water in his mouth and nose was gradually coughed out.

After a long while, Murong Jin propped up half of his body and saw clearly the person in front of him, who was a pink and jade little girl, who was the princess Xueji who he met by chance that day.

I don't know for what reason, Liuli hugged Murong Jin all of a sudden, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"I told you not to sleep, why don't you listen, you haven't woken up after calling you for so long, do you know that you can't wake up again if you fall asleep like this!" The voice was still very immature, from small to loud, and then there was a choked sound.

Murong Jin was stunned and let him stay in his arms, and after a long time, he said hoarsely: "Am I not awake?" Why are you crying? ”

Liuli let go of his hand, realized his gaffe, and turned around to wipe away his tears with a handkerchief.

When she turned around again, her face was already calm, "The little girl has lost her temper, and she hopes that the fourth prince will atone for her sins." ”

Murong Jin stood up with his heavy body in confusion, only to see a drenched chamberlain standing behind him, so he bowed his hand and said, "Murong Jin thank you princess for saving her life." ”

"Your Highness, why do you need to say thank you," there is a sentence that you don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Princess, please speak."

"No matter what, His Royal Highness is a noble prince, and he must never have such thoughts of suicide again." ”

"Why did the princess say that?"

Liuli stared at Murong Jin's eyes and said: "Your Highness can't deceive me, Your Highness is talented, there is a look of despair in his eyes, and he has no desire to survive." There are so many people in this palace who want you to die, and Your Highness can't do what they want. ”

“......”

Liuli said: "His Royal Highness now lives in what palace, why don't you come out with a servant?" ”

Murong Jin shook his head, "It's not too far from here, and I also brought someone with me when I came, but it just happened that he went back to get something." ”

As he was talking, he saw Dongxian rushing this way.

"Look, he's back."

Dong Xian saw that Murong Jin was drenched, and exclaimed, "Your Highness, what's the matter!" ”

Liuli said: "Your Royal Highness has fallen into the water, send him back quickly." ”

"This ......"

Murong Jin arched his hand again and said, "Thank you, princess." It was already dark, and the princess had to return to the palace earlier. ”
