The night is long and endless.

Shen Pearl walked in the damp and dark corridor, there were no candles and no lights, and the surroundings were as dark as a netherworld. She was staring and kept walking forward.

The road is so long, it seems to have no end.

She didn't feel scared, she wasn't tired, she kept walking, as if she were used to walking in the dark.

Faintly, the walls collided, and the voice calling for her was choppy. The voice was familiar, but for some reason, her heart twitched, and she just wanted to stay away. As if feeling her resistance, gradually, the voice finally stopped calling her, and she continued to walk.

The corridor narrowed and narrowed, and she pushed open the stone doors, and the gloomy music slowly advanced towards her, as if to greet her.

She walked towards the music as a matter of course, and in the darkness she seemed to see the hands that greeted her, and she laughed inexplicably, and stretched out her hand to hand herself over—

Suddenly, she heard a soft sound, and the white light flickered in front of her, and she screamed and took two steps back, the sky was white in front of her, and the music stopped suddenly.

"Wake up, wake up!"

There was a cry of joy in my ears. A blurred face shook in front of him. She blinked and looked closely, and Li Wan's ecstatic delicate face became clearer and clearer.

"Thank God, sister-in-law, you have been in a coma for seven days and seven nights, and you finally woke up!" Li Wan clasped her hands together and muttered.

Everything that happened before the coma came over the river and the sea at this time, and Shen Pearl smiled bitterly: he was not dead yet. In the past few years, she has been in countless adventures, and every time she survives, will God bless her extraordinarily, or will he punish her extraordinarily?

This is still the inner room where Zhuang Jingdian lives, and she tries to raise her hands to sit upright, but she has no strength in her whole body. Li Wan saw her intentions, leaned her head and pressed her and said, "Don't move, your life is hard for Sister Lin Zhi to pick up, don't you look at it...... It also depends on Lin Zhi's sister's face and hard work. ”

Shen Pearl muttered: "Lin Zhi......" His voice was hoarse, and it hurt his chest even more, and the pain was unspeakable. Li Wan listened carefully to roughly understand what she meant, and said with a smile: "It's Sister Lin Zhi, she just came to Luoyang to visit her mother, Old Lady Murong." She cured you of the disease and went to Chang'an again, and she left a prescription, saying that she would take the medicine according to the prescription, and you would be cured within three months. ”

In the next few days, Li Wan accompanied Shen Pearl in front of the couch every day, Shen Pearl temporarily had difficulty speaking, so she talked nonsense with Shen Pearl every day. According to Li Wan, it turned out that the eldest grandson E had been dead for more than half a year, and Murong Lin had studied medicine diligently, and there was a tendency that the blue was better than the blue, which could cure Shen Zhu's disease.

Li Wan talks about everything, except for the occasional wisp of melancholy between her eyebrows, compared with the innocence of the year, she is not afraid of the sky, and it seems that there is not much change. But Shen Pearl can see that she is doing her best to accompany and take care of herself, once she goes through the years and grows up, the frivolity and arbitrariness of her youth will never go back.

Li Wan seems to have a tacit understanding with Shen Zhu, and never talks about Li Li with her, as if there is no such person at all. And Li Li also seemed to have disappeared, and he had not been seen for several days.

Without seeing him, Shen Pearl was in a peaceful and peaceful mood, and even except for Li Wan, no one came to visit her, she took all kinds of medicines every day, slept much longer than she woke up, and her body recovered very well.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival, there was a palace maid in the early morning: Murong Lin asked to see him.

Murong Lin entered the room with plain clothes and simple makeup. Shen Pearl sat up with the palace maid behind her with an embroidered pillow behind her, and greeted her with a light smile. After a year, Murong Linzhi's appearance and complexion have changed, when he saw her in Fengxiang last year, he only felt that his temperament was like a plum, and he saw him again today, and he felt that his eyebrows were more handsome and free, and the delicate spirit of the daughter of the family had completely disappeared, and his gestures were all the demeanor of everyone who stood alone.

Murong Lin Zhi has loomed the demeanor of a generation of famous doctors.

Murong Lin sat down and said, "Sister Shen, do you know where your illness is?" ”

Shen Pearl knew that what she said had a deep meaning, and at this time she was no longer as difficult to speak as before, and after a little thought, she replied with a smile: "You are a goddess doctor, I am a patient, let me be lazy once, and listen to your diagnosis and treatment." ”

Murong Linzhi looked at her and said softly, "Your illness lies in your pursuit of perfection too much. ”

"Perfect?" Shen Pearl repeated softly, feeling incredible, and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"That's what I've only realized in the past two years. In this world, everything is flawed, and no one is perfect in terms of people or things. But you always hope for yourself, for Li Jiao, and for the perfection between you and him. In order to maintain this superficial perfection, tell me, have you had a comfortable day over the years? You have to plan everywhere, you have to be sad and tired, and you have to do your best to cover up what you don't like. Even so, you are still strong, you can't satisfy everyone, you are not a god, Li Jiao is different, he is determined to be in the community, and he will never indulge in love and abandon the temple. ”

Shen Pearl lowered her head and thought for a long time before she said, "I didn't expect you to comfort me today." Lin Zhiyou now have a detached opinion, which makes me ashamed. ”

Murong Lin said: "Actually, I didn't feel the same as you back then, thinking that He Qi was the happiest and most perfect in the world, who would have expected that changes and disasters would come one after another, I lost my memory and recovered, I used to be in pain, and I felt that since the perfection of life has been shattered, what is the fun of life?" But when I learned the news of his death, I realized that no perfection is solid, it has been torn apart, it can be thrown away, and life must go on, right? If you only diligently pursue the perfection of a mirage in this life, it will be like drinking a donkey to quench your thirst, and you will not be able to live a lifetime for a while. ”

"Are you going to throw it away?" Shen Pearl muttered.

Murong Lin smiled: "Then it depends on you." If you still can't leave him, then forgive him and let him do what he does, and don't cling to your emotions, so that you can fulfill him. ”

"You said to give up and compromise," Shen Pearl said softly, "Apart from these two paths, is there no other way to choose?" ”

"I know you can't be reluctant, you can't choose anything," Murong Lin Zhi gently put his hand on the back of Shen Pearl's hand, "I can only think of these two paths, Pearl, with your understanding of all things in the world, or you can find a better solution." ”

After saying this, she was surprised to see Shen Pearl suddenly burst into tears, Shen Pearl's eyes were shining, and she choked up: "Maybe, I can't think of a better way." It's just that what you said today is very right, and when I introspect myself, I know that I used to be too persistent, selfish, selfish, and self-righteous in many things, and after all, I was tired of others. Anyway, I finally knew what to do about it. ”

Murong Lin saw that there was a bit of determination and resoluteness in her sad expression, although he didn't know how she would choose, he felt very relieved. She told Shen Pearl some of the things before and after the death of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson was old and died without illness, Shen Pearl and the eldest grandson were very close to each other, and listened to Murong Lin Zhi recount them one by one, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

Murong Lin Zhi said again: "I have visited my mother this time, and in two days I will travel around the world again to treat diseases and save people." Shen Pearl was a little worried: "If there is chaos today, you have to protect yourself." ”

Murong Lin smiled confidently: "You don't have to worry about this, I am familiar with medical pharmacology, and naturally I have a unique method to protect myself." However, in the palace, it seems that there are many guards on all sides and it is extremely safe, but in fact, hidden arrows can hurt people everywhere, so you should be cautious. ”

Shen Pearl slept exceptionally early this night, the snow fell silently outside, the incense was elegant and pleasant, and someone gently stroked her forehead and stood in front of her couch for a long time. After a long time, she quietly opened her eyes and saw the back of the purple shirt slowly disappearing from her eyes, and a tear finally slipped from the corner of her eye.

After the first month, Li Shi was sent to Luoyang by the grandmothers from Chang'an, with Li Shichenghuan's knees, Shen Zhu's body seemed to recover faster, and by the end of February, he could move freely, and the imperial doctor diagnosed that he was nearly healed.

On the evening of March 16, Shen Pearl was talking to Li Wan, and the palace maid hurriedly entered to report that the emperor and the concubine had arrived. It turned out that the recent counterinsurgency was unexpectedly smooth, Cangzhou, Yingzhou, Anzhou, Shenzhou, Dezhou, and Dizhou all surrendered, most of Hebei has been recovered, and now the spring is blooming, and Su Zong's health is not good after the year, so he and Concubine Shu came to Luoyang to recuperate for a few days.

Shen Pearl and Li Wan put on makeup and went out of the palace to prepare for the car, before they went to the outer corridor, there was an inner servant in front of them, and Emperor Yun was tired, so he didn't have to see the car today. The two of them were just about to turn back, Shen Pearl suddenly felt that the figure in front of her flickered, and suddenly, someone had fallen into her arms, but let her take a few steps back, and the person who came knelt on the ground, dragging her skirt with both hands, and cried out in a lost voice: "Miss! ——”

Shen Pearl came back to her senses, looked at the person in front of her, couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and helped her up: "Su porcelain, how are you, how are you ......?"

Su Ci cried and shook her head and refused to get up, wiped her tears and said, "It's Princess Jianning, oh no, Miss Murong cured me." "Shen Pearl had already asked Murong Lin Zhi and knew that she had gone to Chang'an to treat Su Ci. It's just that Su Porcelain was also seriously injured, and now it must not have fully recovered, so it is not easy to come to Luoyang to see himself. Together with Li Wan, he helped Su Porcelain up and went back to the room to speak.

As soon as Su Ci entered the room, he knelt down and kowtowed, "Miss, I'm sorry for you." That day, His Royal Highness thought that you had been killed by An Qingxu, and I missed it too much and drank too much, I wanted to cook tea and relieve hangover for His Highness according to the law of Miss, who knows...... Your Highness mistook me for a young lady...... Su porcelain is really shameless to stand in the world, please Miss let me die! Shen Pearl heard the ins and outs of this matter for the first time, and felt deeply sad about Su Ci, and helped her: "What are you guilty of." Be of good cheer that all sins arise because of me...... In any case, I have already told Your Highness that he will give you and the title of child. ”

Su Ci shook her head hurriedly and said, "No, miss, I don't want anything." I don't want to stay in this house, and I don't want to be famous. ”

Shen Pearl sighed: "If you have no name, how will you and the child deal with yourself in the future?" Right now, it's chaotic, don't be cranky. ”

Su Ci seemed to be crying in a hurry, and said, "Miss, I'm really, really...... No! ”

Shen Pearl saw that her appearance was extremely pitiful, thinking that she was actually concerned about Fengshengyi, and her refusal to be named should be because of this, how could she be reluctant? Again......

His mind turned, and he said, "Okay, let's talk about this later, you have traveled hundreds of miles, so it's better to rest early." "Summoned the palace maid to set up a place for Su Ci to live and lead her to rest.

After she left the inner room, Li Wan smiled and said: "Look at Su Porcelain's appearance, my sister-in-law said that she would give her a name, but she was so scared like a flood beast." As soon as he said that, he suddenly realized that he was speechless, and he covered his mouth and stopped speaking.

Shen Pearl didn't seem to see her small movements, and said softly: "You don't know Su Porcelain's thoughts. ”

Li Wan raised her eyebrows, stood up and walked a few steps in the room at will, and then stood a few times ago and tossed the utensils that were placed on the table, and after a long time, she said, "What about your heart, sister-in-law?" I'm getting more and more confused about why. ”

Shen Pearl smiled at her and said, "Why can't you guess? Tell me about it? ”

"Sister-in-law just woke up for a few days, it seemed that everything was sad and desperate, but in the past few days, it has been extremely free and easy, I don't know what Murong Lin Zhi said to you, I just know that this time it must be the imperial brother who broke your heart. This current appearance, in the end, has figured it out, and intends to forgive the imperial brother; Still is...... Don't want to have a royal brother anymore? After she finished speaking in one breath, she looked back at Shen Zhu's eyes steadily, as if she wanted to see her true thoughts in her heart.

However, Li Wan still sighed and said, "Your eyes are too deep, you don't want to say it, and I can't see it." You don't know, I'm scared, I've been in turmoil these days, I've never been like this. Is there a storm coming? Not only am I afraid, but he ......"

"Wu'er," Shen Pearl gently hugged Li Wan's shoulder, "You don't have to be afraid. No matter what happens in the future, I hope you can help him, but you are very important to him. ”

Li Wan was startled, grabbed Shen Zhuzhu's hand, and said quickly: "Why do you want to say such things, you are the most important thing to the imperial brother, do you want to leave him?" No, no! I'm going to tell him! As he spoke, he was about to rush out, but Shen Pearl pulled his sleeve and pulled him back, Shen Pearl smiled and said lightly: "You girl, so crazy, where do you look like a princess." I just said if, when did you say you're leaving? In this way, if you don't believe me, from tonight onwards, you can rest with me and take good care of me for your royal brother, so that you can always rest assured! ”

Li Wan listened to Shen Pearl's words, and was suspicious, she really washed in the Zhuang Jing Palace, and slept with Shen Pearl.
