Chapter Ninety-Six: Flowers Fall and People Die
Night. The windows were blown open by the loud winds. A cold wind woke me up. I tossed and turned. Suddenly, I heard the sound of crying from nowhere.
I subconsciously called for Fufeng. Fufeng lights the candle." Fufeng didn't hear the crying?"
Fufeng rubbed his eyes and listened quietly. Raised eyebrows and said, "Mother. It seems that there is. It's not like being in the yard. It should be outside the yard."
"Fufeng, go out and see who's crying." I said lightly. I didn't take it to heart.
I lay down and re-packed my sleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard two footsteps entering the house. Fu Feng whispered behind him: "Niangniang. Who should be a slave? It turned out to be an iris next to the nobleman. Wandering in the doorway, not daring to come in. I'm afraid I'll disturb my mother at night."
I heard it was iris. No sleepiness. Hurriedly got up and asked, "But what's the hurry?" Iris, what are you crying about?"
Irises with red and swollen eyes. Slowly knelt on the ground. sobbed: "Mother. The nobleman has not eaten or drunk for two days. The medicine I took didn't work. The slave and maid looked worried. The nobleman did not let the slave tell anyone. The slave and the maid came out secretly."
I was secretly amazed. He got up and put on a garment." Has anything happened lately?"
Iris shook her head. After getting up and getting dressed, he said to Iris, "Bengu go and see her."
Fu Feng hurriedly persuaded on the side: "Niang Niang will go again tomorrow morning. The night is cool and breezy. Beware of the wind chill again. This gentleman may have fallen asleep."
I waved my hand and shook my head, "I don't know much about Crescent's temperament. I still remember that two days ago we saw her in her bedroom to shield the flowers from the wind and rain. This girl must have something on her mind."
Push open the doors of the temple. A lonely figure of the crescent moon stands in front of the window. A moonlight white profane dress took advantage of the slender body. Turned around and looked at me suspiciously: "Why is my sister here. Why haven't you fallen asleep when it's late at night?"
I took off my cloak. With a reproachful face, he said, "You still come to ask me. I'd like to ask you. Why haven't you fallen asleep yet? Listen to Iris say you've been eating or drinking for two days."
The crescent moon sighed silently with her back to her. The moonlight stretches her figure. I shed all my sorrows." It's just a body. What is the difference between eating and not eating?"
I stepped forward and held Crescent's cold hand. My heart hurts cautiously." What the hell is going on. I think you've been too weird lately."
Crescent Moon shook her head with a faint smile. I draped a garment over her. I remembered that the crescent moon was in the rain and caught the wind cold. Then he asked with concern: "Why do you look so bad?" Isn't it too much of a doctor's ulterior motive?"
"It's not. The medicine is too bitter. Tears fell from my bitter eyes. So they're going to be drunk." Crescent Moon said, pointing to the bonsai in the house. The bonsai has died under the irrigation of the drug. It was as black as if it had burned through fire.
"I know you're sick of heart. But it has come. Ze Anzhi. Save your life before you can turn around." I comforted me bitterly. I knew in my heart that the new moon wouldn't listen at all.
Crescent Moon gathered the clothes behind her. Pale chapped lips squirmed. He touched his face and said, "Sister. I'm not getting haggard."
I smiled and said, "It hasn't changed. It's still the same way we first met. So simple. So cute."
Crescent Moon nodded with a smile. Holding my hand: "Sister. My happiest time in the palace was when I met my sister. Sister. Thank you so much. If there is a next life. Let's be real sisters."
I pinched Crescent's thin face. Laughing: "We were real sisters. Isn't it. Silly girl."
Crescent Moon patted my hand with relief. smiled and said, "Okay. Sister. Go back and rest. It's all this time now."
I nodded. He kindly admonished, "You have to go to bed right away, too. Otherwise, I won't leave."
Crescent Moon pursed her lips and nodded happily. I lifted it and suddenly fell to the ground. Silently relieved. Crescent smiled and sent me to the door. At the moment when the palace door was closed. I seemed to see the crescent moon and smiled goodbye.
Iris also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The noble people don't listen to anyone. It's just to listen to the mother. Now the slave can rest assured."
I looked at the iris helplessly and said, "Take a good look at the master. Remember to let her take her medicine and eat on time."
Iris nodded busily. I sighed and left. Lying on the bed tossing and turning. Thinking about the crescent moon in my heart. The thought of her pale face makes me feel uncomfortable.
Next. It started to rain in the morning. By the time I fell asleep at night, it was already pouring rain. It's as if God wants to torment the world. The wind tore at the rose shelf in the courtyard with all its might. Blowing up the water of the Reflecting Moon Pond.
A bright light flashed like day. The thunder seemed to explode in the courtyard. I subconsciously covered my ears under the covers. Fufeng pulled open my quilt with tears on his face: "Master, ......"
I got up and looked at the Iris, which was wet and trembling from crying. A sense of foreboding came over me.
I shuddered and pushed open the door of the crescent moon. One by one, I staggered to the window of the crescent moon. I couldn't hold back my almost fainting heart and watched Crescent Moon lie on the bed with a peaceful face. The delicate makeup on the face seems to be the same as when he first entered the palace.
I covered my mouth to keep myself from crying." Crescent moon. My sister is here. Wake up."
The crescent moon was still serene and motionless. As I took her cold, stiff hand. I just knew. She's really dead.
"How so." I asked iris in a choked voice.
Iris let out a terrible cry. Jumped in front of the crescent moon." In the afternoon, the master told the slave that she wanted to eat matty cakes. The slave and maid were very happy at that time. The master also bathed and changed clothes, and let the slave maid freshen up and put on makeup. The slave and maid thought that the master would be well. The master told the slave to feed the pigeons. But when he came back, the master had already committed suicide by swallowing gold."
I staggered to the bed. muttered: "Swallow gold and commit suicide. Does anyone else know about it now?"
Iris cried, "How dare a slave tell anyone else. I have to go to my mother."
I wiped away my tears. Pulled over and said, "Let's see if Imperial Doctor Lu is here today. If he's not there, he'll come to Dr. Liang. The sooner the better. Let's just say that the noble man is seriously ill."
Fufeng nodded firmly and left. I looked at the serene face of the new moon. I suddenly felt in my heart. It was a relief for her. But why did you choose this extreme way to leave?
