Chapter 27: Whimpering Dreams
"Mother, Ling'er drew a picture yesterday, I want you to take a look, let's go to the study first, ^" Zi Ling wants to leave the living room with her mother to chat in the study, she wants to take advantage of this rare time together, and relive the deep affection between mother and daughter!
"Okay, you guys go over and have a look first, my sister and I will talk for a while, and then we'll go over and look at Niangniang's painting later." How could Liu Ruyu not understand Ziling's thoughts? So they let their mother and daughter go to chat first, after all, they are mother and daughter, although they have never regarded themselves as outsiders, but with her, their mother and daughter still have some concerns.
Zi Ling took Mrs. Xiao's hand and went to the study, and when she entered the study, Zi Ling couldn't help frowning, and said in disgust: "Why did Liu Ruxin come?" I always felt uneasy. ”
"I guess I really want to see Ruyu, after all, I see that other people have family members in the palace to meet each other, but she is alone and no one cares, not only will she touch the scene, but I guess she will also feel that she can't get over her face." Mrs. Xiao hit the nail on the head and said Liu Ruxin's situation.
No wonder, I guess I'm really afraid that people will laugh at her father for not loving her mother and not hurting, so she rushed to Yongle Palace to see Liu Ruyu, right? In this way, she can also tell others that Liu Ruxin is not alone, she also has brothers and sisters, and she is also protected by her mother's family!
No matter why Liu Ruxin came, Zi Ling only cared about chatting with Mrs. Xiao and was coquettish, cute and cute, and laughter was sprinkled all over the room. Ziling seems to have returned to the days before entering the palace, the Xiao family and his wife spoiled her like this, held her in the palm of their hands, and cared for her like a treasure, how much they wanted to return to that carefree, loveless, and hateful time!
"Why are you talking so much about it?" Liu Ruyu didn't let anyone tell her, so she pushed the door in, and said with a smile, "Seeing you so close, it really makes me jealous." %&*"; ”
Saying that, Liu Ruyu put on a jealous look, Mrs. Xiao smiled hehehe, and said lovingly: "It's a pity, Ling'er can't see it when our mother is intimate at home, or she will be jealous and jealous!" ”
Liu Ruyu and Xiao Ziling couldn't help but giggle, stopped laughing, and Ziling hurriedly asked Liu Ruyu: "Is Liu Zhaorong gone?" ”
Liu Ruyu nodded and said, "Well, it's finally gone." ”
"What do you say? Talking about it for so long? Zi Ling asked unintentionally.
Liu Ruyu was a listener, and smiled faintly and said: "There's nothing to say, it's just some innocuous words, the sisters are polite, but they seem to be outsiders." ”
"After all, I haven't seen each other for so many years, and it's inevitable that there will be a lot of separation." Mrs. Xiao said, "Besides, this is Ziling's place, she probably finds it inconvenient to speak." ”
"I'm not close to her, and I don't have anything to say." Liu Ruyu was afraid that Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Ziling would misunderstand what "conspiracy" she and Liu Ruxin would plan, so she was busy dissociating herself with Liu Ruxin and making her position clear.
"Good sister-in-law, then you and Ling'er should have a good kiss." Hearing the faint misunderstanding in Liu Ruyu's words, Zi Ling hurriedly climbed on her shoulder and said coquettishly to her.
Mrs. Xiao and Liu Ruyu couldn't help but laugh out loud......
It is difficult to say goodbye when we meet, even if "life is thousands of miles and thousands of miles, and it is just a sad goodbye" (1), Ziling still reluctantly sent away her mother and sister-in-law after all. Standing at the gate of Yongle Palace, I watched my mother and sister-in-law gradually walk away, leaving only a vague back.
Thinking of saying goodbye, I don't know when I will see you again, or if I will never see you again, Zi Ling unconsciously burst into tears. Moreover, they are just passers-by in this palace, they can get out of this high wall and deep courtyard, and they can see the vast and boundless world again, but they can never get out again!
There was a sore pain in her throat, and tears gradually ran down her cheeks......
Since her mother and sister-in-law left, Zi Ling was restless, did not know the taste of food, and had trouble sleeping at night, thinking that it was caused by the sadness of parting, so she did not take it to heart.
On this day, Zi Ling lay on the couch and read a book, unconsciously "tired of throwing books and long afternoon dreams", the long and miscellaneous afternoon dreams overwhelmed Zi Ling, and Zi Ling dreamed of Su Zirong's sad face. She was plainly dressed, her face was pale, her eyes were puffy, and her tears were shining, she lowered her head and whimpered and cried, and she seemed to be talking to Zi Ling. What to say? Zi Ling didn't hear it clearly. finally got close to Su Zirong and walked to her side, Ziling vaguely heard her say to herself: "Sister Ling, I died unjustly...... I never thought about leaving you......"
"I died unjustly...... I was unjustly killed......" The voice seemed to fall into the cliff, getting farther and farther away, Su Zirong finally disappeared into the darkness, and could no longer be seen. Zi Ling searched hard, but couldn't find her, Zi Ling was so anxious that she cried: "Sister Rong...... Sister Rong......"
When he was woken up by the jade slave, Zi Ling burst into tears, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and most of his thin pajamas were soaked. Yunu took a cotton cloth and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, face and neck, and asked distressedly, "Miss, but you have a nightmare again?" ”
"I ...... I dreamed of Sister Rong. Zi Ling was still immersed in the great grief and panic, and unconsciously shed tears.
Yunu hurriedly took a set of clean pajamas to help her change them on: "Since the lady and the young lady came, the young lady has been unable to sleep and eat, but what did the lady say to you?" ”
Zi Ling sat stunned and asked Yu Nu to help her change clothes, she shook her head lightly and said, "No, it is estimated that Sister Rong misses me, she has something to say to me." ”
Su Zirong has been dead for so long, Fang Soul has never entered Zi Ling's dream, and now in her dream, she is not talking to Zi Ling about the pain of life and death and the hatred of Yin and Yang, but she told Zi Ling with tears that she was unjustly killed! Thinking of Su Zirong's sad words in the dream, the more Ziling thought about it, the more strange he felt!
Hearing Zi Ling say such words faintly, Yu Nu couldn't help but feel yin, his legs were weak, and his scalp was numb for a while. Looking up at Zi Ling, Yu Nu was very worried in his heart, and hurriedly said: "It is estimated that the young lady is reluctant to be so sad for the lady and the young lady, and the spirit is getting worse and worse, so the slave will ask the guard at the door to ask you to have a doctor to take a look." ”
"If it's out of the way, just rest and rest." Isn't it just a nightmare that isn't a nightmare? Why not just go to great lengths to get a doctor? Zi Ling really thought that he just needed to rest and rest.
"It's better to prescribe a medicine that nourishes qi and calms the nerves to drink, so that the slave can rest assured." Otherwise, Yu Nu was really worried that Zi Ling would continue to be so restless, and something would happen sooner or later. Besides, the fetus in Ziling's womb can't withstand such a toss - he is already eight months old, and he is about to be born!
