Graceful Death (2nd Watch)
For a long time, Shen Wan stopped crying, just leaned on Xichen's chest, grabbed his clothes with one hand, and wiped the tears that had dried up with the other.
Xichen lowered her head, touched her peach-like eyes with her lips, and asked softly, "But you have to call someone in to help you wash your face!" ”
Shen Wan said in a hoarse voice: "Don't! As she spoke, she buried her head in his arms again, and she didn't want others to see her like this.
Xichen pulled the corners of her lips silently, and loosened her hands a little, lest she be suffocated.
She looked up again, looked at him and said, "What are you going to do!" ”
A layer of slaughter on his face, his words were already with a cold chill: "The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, that Imperial Doctor Chen was executed for the crime of murdering the concubine, and as for the concubine, he was ordered to cut himself!" ”
She was stunned, gritted her teeth, and said, "I don't want to see them again!" ”
Xichen patted her on the back and said softly, "You won't see them again!" ”
She wrapped her hands tightly around his waist, pressed against his chest, and heard his powerful heartbeat, for some reason, at this moment, she faintly hoped that he would ...... Not an enemy who killed her whole family.
Maybe she cried for too long, she was tired, she fell asleep in a daze, and she was no longer disgusted by his arms, but felt a little dependent.
In a trance, he seemed to want to let go of himself, but Shen Wan grabbed the sleeve of his robe and muttered, "Don't go......"
He lowered his head and squared her on the bed, lay down beside her, patted her gently, and said, "I'm not leaving, I've always been here......"
His voice was soft and low, as if it had a hypnotic effect, so Shen Wan quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up again, Xichen was no longer around, Shen Wan called Chun'er to ask, and Chun'er said that the emperor left early in the morning.
Shen Wan secretly thought, I don't know what happened last night, it was a good dinner, first the emperor left, and then Concubine Qing...... Concubine Qing, why did she go to see Concubine Rong at that time? Even if you want to pretend to be good in front of the emperor, at least you have to wait until after the dinner is over!
What the hell did she mean?
There is also Concubine Rong, thinking of her, the corners of Shen Wan's mouth were full of wry smiles, Sister Xianya, you lied to me so hard.
Chun'er looked at her face cloudy, and said hesitantly: "Gonggong Shi came in the morning and said that the emperor had made a decree, presumably at this time, Imperial Doctor Chen had already asked for beheading, and Concubine Rong ...... Concubine Rong ......"
Shen Wan asked weakly, "What's wrong with her?" ”
Chun'er said: "Gonggong Shi brought the death medicine, but she refused to drink it, she said that she wanted to see Lord Shangyi before she died!" ”
"What's there to see!" Having said that, when she heard the news of Xianya's dying, her heart was still a little sad, and tears came out of her eyes again.
Chun'er sighed: "Gonggong Shi said that Lord Shangyi and Concubine Rong were good friends in the past, if Shangyi doesn't go at this time, I'm afraid that I will regret it in the future......"
Shen Wan glanced at her lightly, and after being silent for a long time, she said: "Okay, I'll go over and take a look, since you know about this matter, it's best to keep quiet, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you!" ”
Chun'er hurriedly said: "The slave understands! ”
Shen Wan cleaned up and went to Jingyi Palace, Xiao Shizi stood at the door, saw her coming with an anxious look on her face, and said hurriedly: "I thought you wouldn't come, Concubine Rong has already ......."
Shen Wan's heart sank, and she stepped into the room in three steps and two steps, but saw Xianya lying on the bed, her face pale, and the blue and white porcelain vase she held in her hand...... It's already empty.
"Sister Xianya!" Shen Wan screamed and threw herself on the side of the bed.
Her elegant lips were purple, and her face was getting more and more gray, she raised her hand with difficulty, Shen Wan hurriedly held it in her hand, and tears fell on the back of her hand.
"Ah Wan, you can come, I really ...... It's a pleasure...... I thought you wouldn't forgive me......"
"Sister Grace ......"
"Awan, I've drunk the poison, and I only have a little time...... You listen to me, I'm ...... Sorry I didn't tell you...... When I entered the palace, I just obeyed the orders of my parents, and he and I ...... It's also a childhood sweetheart, but ...... My parents said he wasn't worthy of my ......."
"Sister Xianya, don't say it, I know it, I don't blame you, I really don't blame you......"
"The reason why I didn't tell you is not to deceive you, it's just that the less people know about this kind of thing, the better, right!"
"Yes, yes...... Sister, what you said is right, don't say it anymore, okay, I'm going to find Dr. Sun, he is very good at detoxification, he will definitely help you, you will be fine, sister, you will be fine! Shen Wan stood up and wanted to go out, but was stopped by her.
Xian Ya smiled sadly, and said weakly: "No need, don't go, I know the power of this poison...... Since the emperor wants me to die, how can there be an antidote? Listen to me, don't go, if you go, you're only afraid...... I'll never see me again......"
"No, no, sister...... If there is an antidote, there must be an antidote! Shen Wan's cry was terrible.
"Silly girl, in fact, ......" The corners of Xianya's mouth began to dripble, she frowned in pain, but still insisted on finishing her words: "Actually, I know you and the Twelve Princes...... You are also like us, childhood sweethearts, and you have no guesses...... Ah Wan, don't be unable to see your heart because of anything else, and ...... in the future Regret ......"
"Yes...... Sister Xianya, don't die, you are my only relative in this palace, don't die, please......" Shen Wan saw the blood on her lips getting more and more, and she knew that she couldn't keep her......
"When you came to see me, I was copying Li Yu's "Bodhisattva Man", you said it was not good, but I liked it...... It is difficult for the slave to come out, and the teacher is merciful...... Mercy ...... Awan, you want to live happily...... I...... Me and him...... It's really innocent......" After the last sentence, Shen Wan only felt a sinking in her hand, and her elegant hand hung down weakly and fell on the bed.
"Sister Xianya, sister, sister......" she cried and shouted, but Xianya was silent anymore, she was like a dead flower, lying on the bed in decay, without a trace of brilliance.
Sister Xianya, I know that you really regard me as your sister, and you also want me to live happily, just as my sister also wishes, she has always taken care of me when she was alive, she doesn't want me to live like her, because it is really too tiring.
Sister Xianya, when I learned that my sister died, I thought that I would never have such warmth again in my life, but God let me meet you again, you two, so similar...... But why? Why is Heaven taking you away again?
Sister Xianya, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I even resented you last night, resented why you deceived me, why am I so stupid? I know you're not that kind of person! I didn't even ask the emperor to forgive you, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, if I wasn't so selfish and willful, you would still be alive.
"Miss, mourn! No matter what, Concubine Rong must die! Xiao Shizi stood behind Shen Wan, seeing that she was crying so much, she had to say: "Imperial Doctor Chen is dead, and he was beheaded for the crime of murdering the concubine, if Concubine Rong does not die, where is the murdered concubine?" What's more, how can the emperor tolerate his concubines having affairs with other men? Don't be too sad, miss......"
Shen Wan suddenly stopped her tears, stood up and stared at Xiao Shizi coldly, Xiao Shizi was stunned, and hurriedly lowered her head, and after a while, Shen Wan glanced at Rong Concubine again, gritted her teeth and said, "Bury her well......"
Xiao Shizi hurriedly said: "This is natural, Miss, you better go back first!" Here, unlucky! ”
Shen Wan was afraid that she would not be able to stop her tears if she stayed for a while, clenched her fists fiercely, and left silently.
