On the morning of early February, Zhao Guangyi arranged a carriage to send me back to the Longxi County Mansion, and as soon as I got off the car, I saw Xiaoxiao and Yuan'er standing in front of the door.

The two of them were overwhelmed with excitement when they saw me coming back, I wiped the corners of my eyes, it turned out that someone was thinking about this feeling!

Yuan'er said that since I entered the palace, Xiaoxiao has been waiting for me to come home at the gate all day long, like a wife stone.

After looking at his wife's three words, Yuan'er obviously realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly found an excuse to slip away.

"Madame seems to have lost weight."

"It should be, after all, there is no sauce elbow in the palace."

"Aunt Zhu's pot has been hot."

"It's better to go home!"

I ate two big bowls of breakfast that day, and Yuan'er said that I ate like a fleeing homeless person, so Xiaoxiao quickly knocked Yuan'er on the head to stop her from continuing to talk nonsense. I looked up and smiled, now in Kaifeng, aren't we just homeless?

Li Yu didn't come to see me, he still stayed in the fifth lady's room, but asked anything. The little novel is just because Fang Yi's death hit him too hard, and the old man actually still loves me the most in his heart.

I know that Xiaoxiao is afraid that I will be sad, but there are so many things that have happened in this life, so many that I can't take the heart to feel the taste.

During that time in the palace, although Zhao Guangyi found someone to cure my head disease, the cold I suffered could not be cured easily, and the wind blew back and forth, and the cough became more and more serious. Aunt Zhu saw that normal imperial medicine was useless, so she began to ask around for home remedies and studied them by herself, and from time to time she would give me a dark dish, such as stir-fried meat with loquat and herbal soaked elbow......

The most annoying thing is that these foods are still supported by Xiaoxiao and Yuan'er, the three of them are always staring at me with a united front, it is not okay to eat less, it is not okay to wear less, and it is not even possible to lie down for a while, obviously I am the master.

Li Yu still doesn't come to my hospital, but every day before going to bed, he asks someone to send me a letter, sometimes it's a poem, sometimes it's a painting, sometimes it's a word waiting for me to fill in the song, and sometimes it's just a few small talks.

I usually reply at noon the next day.

Outsiders don't understand, but after a long time, I actually like this way of communication, and the way of not meeting but only making friends makes us find another different feeling, just like there is another self in this world, and that is not my own self.

Yuan'er didn't understand why Li Yu didn't come to see me in person, she said that I must be in love with my master!

"Silly girl, love can't be said! People who share the same mind may not be able to figure it out in words. ”

"The slave doesn't understand."

"I'll understand later." Time will find the right opportunity for you to grow gradually.

One late night in early April, I dreamed of my maiden for the first time, she was still as beautiful as before, smiling at me with a baby in her arms, and she said that she was doing well and free now.

I wanted to go up and hug her, but I couldn't hold her, she ran to the back for a while, left and right, and then ran to the back, I chased and chased, chased, chased, chased, chased......, chased

Until I woke up from my bed exhausted and sweaty.

"Madame, is she having a nightmare?"

"Hmm."

I looked out, it was already dawn, and Xiao Xiao was walking inside.

"Is Madame awake?"

"Wake up."

Yuan'er helped me up, and stood in front of my bed with Xiaoxiao and the two of them looking like they wanted to talk and stopped.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Madame must promise the slave, and you must not be excited for a while." As if he had made some major decision, he spoke with little difficulty.

"Tell me, what else is there that your wife can't stand now?"

"The second lady went last night. The lord asked the house not to alarm the lady, so he kept it a secret until now before he came to report. ”

"Second lady?"

"Well, it's the second lady."

"Hasn't she always been in good health?" Beads of tears that wanted to break the thread slipped down the sides of my cheeks, and I never imagined that Huang would go ahead of me.

Since entering the palace at the age of 14, she and her lady have been standing behind me, but now they have left me.

The body of the second lady of the little novel has long been dead, and she has only been hiding it from the outside world, and she can't get out of bed when she is found later......

"I don't know at all."

"Madame, don't blame yourself, it was the second lady who let her hide it, no one else in the whole house except the second lady's own courtyard knows, even the doctor who sees the doctor is found by the second lady herself."

"Where's the master? Don't you know, sir? ”

"I only found out last night, the second lady knew that she couldn't stay up, so she called the master to go, and it didn't work until midnight, and now the ladies of the house are guarding over there......"

"Why didn't anyone call me?"

"It was ordered by the master, saying that the lady was not in good health, so she was not allowed to disturb ......"

Don't disturb it, I have known the Huang family for more than ten years, and this is the case.

"Madame wants to go over?" Yuan'er asked cautiously with her coat.

"Nope." I went back to my bed and lay down, and after letting Yuan'er go out, I pressed the quilt corner.

"Tiny, I can't feel my heartbeat."

"Madame said that she laughed, wouldn't her heart die if she didn't beat?"

"It's small, it's really not jumping."

"Madame......"

"Since 21 years ago, it stopped jumping, when I was five years old, my father and my mother were sending my sister to get married, and I thought everything would change......"

After that, the sound was so small that only I could hear it.

"Madame is awake."

Yuan'er said that I had slept all day and couldn't wake them up, but they were frightened.

"Isn't that waking up?"

Xiaoxiao disliked Yuan'er who only cried every day, and kicked her out again, and said that others, she was not red-eyed.

In the evening, the horn suona sounded, I heard that Li Yu invited the best band in the city, I played the flute in the courtyard, and I sat with me until dawn.

I didn't go to see the second lady until the burial, a small novel, the emperor approved a mountain in the house, and the second lady was buried there, and the few who served in the courtyard volunteered to stay in the mountain to guard the tomb.

Little novel, he will be buried there in the future, so that he can continue to wait and serve me over there when he dies.

"What if I'm the one who dies first?"

"Then Xiaoxiao will follow the master."

"Xiaoxiao, where's your family?" This is the first time I've asked Xiaoxiao this question, and I've only known that he and Qiu Xiang are fellow villagers, but I've never asked him if he wants to be with his family.

"The only lady left in the small family is ......"

"Xiaoxiao, I suddenly miss my father, my mother, my joy, my sister, and sandalwood......"

I found myself as if I was sick, very sick, I couldn't see the colors of the world no matter how hard I tried, everything turned black and white in my eyes......

Li Yu's letter continued, from one a day to one every two days, a novel, Li Yu was not with the fifth lady recently, and the emperor sent two new beauties over, and they were living in the courtyard where the second lady used to live.
