Chapter 589: Old Man
I am your father's first lady. ”
Qi An jumped anxiously: "How can this be compared?" ”
"Shh Zhao Yueqiu stretched out her finger and put it between her lips, and winked playfully at Qi Anwan: "Your Majesty has agreed to this matter, and it doesn't matter whether the princess agrees or not." ”
"You ......"
Qi Anwan's opposition was ineffective, and Zhao Yueqiu became a long-term guest in the imperial mausoleum.
No one came here to expel them, and no one was dissatisfied.
The Imperial Tomb is forever dead and silent.
After being imprisoned for five years, it was as if she saw a beam of light, which did not come from her, but finally stayed by her side, so that she was no longer as frightened as before in the dark night.
Ordinary life doesn't seem to have changed, it's just one more person.
When she wanders around the imperial tomb, there are people around who can talk to her.
When meditating in the room, there are also people who are willing to sit next to her and embroider and take a nap.
Qi Anwan couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but through Zhao Yueqiu, she clearly saw another person.
If his mother could not bear such a heavy responsibility since she was a child, she might be able to live more freely than the person in front of her.
Because my mother never drilled into the horns of a bull, her heart was as big as the sea.
Until Zhao Yueqiu was full of gray hair, but in just two years, he aged rapidly, and his eyes were not as clear as when he was young, and he couldn't see what was contained in it.
But her body is still strong.
In July of the third year of Sheng'an, Junchen lingered on the sickbed and was in critical condition.
When the news reached the imperial mausoleum, Qi An was like crazy, desperate to break out.
The secret guard of the 'Luo' team appeared and blocked her way without saying anything.
Qi Anwan has no master: "I'm just going to see him, don't worry, when I'm done, I will naturally go back to the imperial tomb to be confined, and I will never take another step in this life." ”
"Emperor Shengping has an order, the eldest princess of Fu'an, you must not step out of this imperial tomb for half a step in this life, and those who violate it will break their legs."
Qi Anwan was so angry, her eyes turned red, and she choked up: "How can you be so unkind, don't you know who the seriously ill person is?!" ”
"Princess, please come back."
The people in the 'Luo' team have always only listened to the emperor's order, although Qi Changrong has been dead for three years, her power still exists.
The imperial decree is neither changed nor changed.
Qi Anwan gritted her teeth, and finally made a major decision, and her eyes fell on the stone on the side: "Okay!" Isn't it just a broken leg? I'll show you this day! ”
With that, she picked up the stone and threw it into her knee without hesitation.
The sharp pain spread all over his body in an instant, and Qi Anwan immediately fell to the ground, but he didn't stop, just like that, his eyes were cold, and he did self-harm.
Suddenly, the dark guard was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he immediately picked up the stone in Qi Anwan's hand: "What is the princess doing?" ”
Because of the pain, cold sweat faintly broke out on Qi Anwan's forehead: "Didn't you say that the offender broke his leg?" I have to go out today, so what if I leave my legs here? ”
"Princess, don't mess around." The dark guard said in a deep voice: "Even if the princess loses her legs, it will never be possible to step out of the imperial tomb!" ”
"You're trying to kill me?"
Qi Anwan's throat stalked, and after a few years, she once again experienced the feeling that life was worse than death, and the sense of panic almost drowned her completely.
"I just want to see him, I just want to see him one last time! I want to see my father, I want to serve before my father's sickbed, what is wrong with me? ”
"The princess speaks." The dark guard's eyes were cold: "Don't be confused, princess, your father, the former emperor, has already been buried in the imperial mausoleum!" ”
"Hahaha - the burial of the emperor's mausoleum is nothing but an empty mausoleum! She's not here, she's never been here, you have deceived the world, but you can't deceive me! ”
The dark guard's eyes were cold as if they could freeze: "Princess, you are supported by the people of the world, you must be cautious in your words and deeds." ”
Bloody clothes soaked out of the knees.
The two sides are at a stalemate, and neither is willing to take a step back.
At this moment, Zhao Yueqiu, who had already packed her bags, looked at the scene at the exit of the imperial mausoleum from far and near, and her expression moved slightly.
When his eyes fell on Qi Anwan, he saw that she was full of embarrassment, her eyes were full of despair and panic, and her words unconsciously softened: "You don't have to worry too much, I will go back to guard General Jun." ”
Qi Anwan looked at Zhao Yueqiu as if asking for help: "I want to go and see him, maybe this is the last one......"
"Nope." Zhao Yueqiu shook her head calmly: "Princess Fu'an, everyone has to pay the price for what they have done, since they have made mistakes, they must be punished, and your punishment is to be confined here for the rest of their lives." ”
"I knew I was wrong, I knew I was wrong......"
Zhao Yueqiu let out a long sigh and looked away with reluctance: "This may also be one of the punishments suffered by Her Royal Highness the Princess, you can only accept it." ”
In an instant, the last straw broke her, Qi Anwan raised her hand to cover her face, crying very embarrassed.
After waiting for a while, when all the bags were ready and loaded into the carriage, Zhao Yueqiu turned around and wanted to leave.
At this time, Qi Anwan said: "Wait a minute, since I can't go out, please ask my wife to help me bring a letter to Jun Yuanzheng." ”
Zhao Yueqiu turned around: "The princess is going to be fast." ”
After hearing this, Qi Anwan wiped her tears, and coldly instructed the waiter who wanted to get close but didn't dare to get close: "Help Princess Ben get up and prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”
The severe pain in his knees was especially obvious, and he couldn't even stand steadily, so he could only barely stand with the support of the waiter, quickly wrote a scribbled letter, and then handed it to Zhao Yueqiu himself.
"This letter, please also ask Mrs. to give it to Jun Yuanzheng."
After listening, Zhao Yueqiu took a deep breath and took the letter.
The carriage left the Imperial Tomb as fast as it could.
When she entered the capital, Zhao Yueqiu was so calm that compared to the calmness when she entered the capital before, she has long lost her peace and quiet.
She entered the palace almost immediately, and the hoarfrost on her temples became thicker.
In the monarch's mansion, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Everyone knows that the old general of Junmen is seriously ill, and maybe there is not much time left.
Even the Son of Heaven of the Jinluan Palace was angry several times because of this, and sent down some of the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital.
Seeing Zhao Yueqiu, Jun Yuanzheng immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Auntie......"
Zhao Yueqiu asked urgently: "How is the situation?" ”
"I'm afraid it's not good." Jun Yuanzheng took a deep breath, a layer of dark clouds shrouded his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth tightened into a line: "The imperial doctor said, maybe it will be a few days." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yueqiu's heart was shocked.
This year's Junchen is not young, although she has been prepared, but she never thought that things would come so quickly.
Except for the cold two years ago, in the past two years, I have not heard of Junchen's ill health.
Seeing that she was stunned and stumbled slightly, Jun Yuanzheng hurriedly reached out to help: "Auntie be careful." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yueqiu came back to her senses, smiled reluctantly, and handed the letter that had been in her hand for a long time to Jun Yuanzheng: "This is the letter that the princess asked me to hand over to you." ”
Seeing this, Jun Yuanzheng raised his hand to take it.
Zhao Yueqiu pursed her lips and said: "The princess wanted to come in person, and even did not hesitate to sacrifice her legs because of this, but the secret guards guarding outside the imperial tomb were not accommodating, and she couldn't get out of half a step. ”
Hearing this, Jun Yuanzheng smiled bitterly: "I know." ”
At this time, Zhao Yueqiu no longer had the heart to investigate what the relationship between them was, and her expression was confused: "I'll go see your father." ”
"Auntie, wait."
Jun Yuanzheng lowered his eyes and said: "My father is asleep now, my aunt should go and sort out her emotions first...... My father believed that birth, old age, sickness and death were determined by God, and he didn't like others to be sad because of this. ”
"Okay, okay, it's really inappropriate for me to go to see my cousin like this." Zhao Yueqiu suppressed her sadness and was guided by Jun Yuanzheng to go to another realm to rest.
When I finally saw the lingering sickbed and skinny Junchen, it was already close to evening.
Zhao Yueqiu's eyes immediately turned red, and she called, "Cousin." ”
Hearing the familiar voice, Jun Chen raised his eyes, but suddenly smiled: "What are you crying about?" ”
"I always feel that such a cousin is very strange." Zhao Yueqiu approached and squatted in front of the couch: "The cousin in my memory has always been invincible, where the sword is pointed, the war stops, and the peace is born." ”
"That's all in the past."
Jun Chen shook his head, his expression was as usual: "You're all old, why can't you even see this little thing?" ”
He was thin, but his eyes were bright.
When looking at people, it is hard to believe that this is an old man who is about to die.
I don't know if it's her delusion, but I found a few traces of relief in his eyes.
Zhao Yueqiu was secretly frightened, the corners of her lips trembled, and she asked, "Cousin, are you ...... Hell-bent on death? ”
"Not really."
Junchen said very calmly: "When she was dying, she asked me to live well, I have a clear conscience, even if life is difficult, I still did it." ”
"Cousin is talking about cousin-in-law?"
"Yes." Jun Chen paused, and there was a bit of happiness in his tone: "Now, I am grateful to God that she did not suffer the same ordeal as me. ”
Zhao Yueqiu opened her mouth, and after a long period of sadness, her voice was hoarse.
"Cousin, do you have any other wishes?"
Speaking of 'wish', Jun Chen really frowned, and there was one thing that he couldn't rest assured: "Yuan Zheng, this kid, his heart is not calm, he is twenty-one, but the family affairs have not yet been settled, and when I leave, he will keep filial piety for another three years......"
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Zhao Yueqiu smiled reluctantly, and sat down on the small stool next to her at Jun Chen's suggestion: "Yuanzheng, this child is of good quality, and he is a beautiful girl that most people can't ask for, so cousin doesn't have to worry about this." ”
"After all, I don't feel at ease, I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain to his mother, and after I leave, this child may have to be entrusted to you."
Whether it is the Jun family or the Zhao family, they are all withered.
The two families together are less than the number of hands.
Jun Chen's eyes looked at Zhao Yueqiu gently, and when his gaze fell on her gorgeous hair, there was a hint of sadness.
"Yueqiu, you're old too."
