Chapter 68: The End of the World
Liu Yi was already in tears and kept shaking his head, and Xu Pingjun's tears gradually dried, and he was replaced by a gentle smile like water in the past, "You still have to protect our son for me, you can't let go like me." Xu Pingjun is afraid that Liu Yi has really done what he says, if he says that after he leaves, and no one can warm his heart, the only thing that can cheer him up is Liu Zheng of the two of them.
"Okay, good, good, don't worry......" Looking at Xu Pingjun, who was getting weaker and weaker and still thinking about his future, how could Liu Ill brush her mind again.
"Okay, I'm sick, from now on, you don't have to worry about me anymore, you don't have to be enemies of the courtiers for me, you can rest assured that you can seek your world and seek the Han Dynasty......" There was endless reluctance in his eyes, his eyes were full of tears, but he looked at Liu Aiji without moving, as if this glance was going to make his appearance deep in his bones.
Liu Ill has hugged Xu Pingjun deeply in his arms, quietly feeling her faint breath, Liu Ill is very clear, from now on he is afraid that it will be difficult to do so, he will protect her tightly in his arms, her cheeks are against Liu Ill's chest, tears soaked through the clothes, but no one left each other's arms.
After a long time, Xu Pingjun said, "I'm sick, I can only accompany you here, I'll ......" Before the words were finished, his hand had slipped off Liu Aiji's back, Liu Ai was still motionless, holding her body tightly The temperature gradually subsided, tears slowly stayed in the eye sockets, no longer down the cheeks, and when I looked up again, the sky outside the window was already dark, Liu Ai finally let go of Xu Pingjun, who was already cold, and gently let her lie on the bed, covering the quilt for her, as if she was just sleeping.
"Pingjun, wait for me in South Park." When he got up, he gently left this sentence in Xu Pingjun's ear, straightened up his already stiff body, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, Liu Yi calmly pushed open the door, and said to the crowd outside the door, "The queen has passed away, and she is prepared for longevity clothes and what happened after her death." After the order, Liu Yi waved his hand to let the imperial doctor in, and he also turned around and walked towards Xu Pingjun again.
Although Xu Pingjun has been sick for several days, he has gone really suddenly, for a while, where will there be these things, at this time it is obviously too late to rush to make it, I want to ask His Majesty if he can buy it outside the palace, but everyone knows that Liu is in a bad mood, how dare he disturb, fortunately, Shangguan Yu said, "Song Wan, send me to the queen." After Emperor Zhao left, Shangguan Youhao had already prepared these objects for himself, which not only understood the urgent need of the palace maid, but also shocked Huo Chengjun.
"I'm just here for a rainy day, so let's go in and have a look." Shangguan Youyu entered, only to see that Liu You's illness was different from when he came, his face was calm like never before, and he looked coldly at the person who was kneeling in the room crying, without saying a word, Shangguan Youhao approached Liu Ai's side, only to feel a cold air around him, "I'm sick, I'm sad and crying, don't suffocate my body." Shangguan thought to himself, Liu Ai's current mood is most understandable than himself, but he should be more sad than himself, his relationship with Emperor Zhao is not so deep, and Emperor Zhao has been sick for a long time before leaving, and he is also prepared in his heart, but Liu Ai is no longer so.
"Pingjun hasn't gone far, he won't be able to let go." Therefore, when he got up, there was never a single tear, and when he got up, his heart returned to coldness.
Huo Chengjun approached the bed, looked at the person who had lost his color, for the first time he felt that life and death were so close to him, and for the first time he saw a living person, he just lay down and didn't get up again, "Pingjun, I promise you, go with peace of mind." The eyes closed, and tears overflowed from the eyes, all the way to the neck.
Outside the room, Huo Guang, Bing Ji and other ministers were guarding the door, and they could hear the mourning of the eunuchs in the room announcing "The queen has died!" Then I only listened to the wailing of Gong E in the room, and Liu Ai had been separated from Shangguan, and the rest were kneeling on the ground. "This last dress, Liu Yi has to change for her personally.
After Shangguan Youhao nodded, he left the inner room with a group of people and others, and went to the outer hall, unable to escape Huo Guang and Bing Ji's questioning, Shangguan Youhao hesitated to continue, and only said, "The queen left suddenly, and the mourning family doesn't know why, everything is up to Your Majesty's decision." After finishing speaking, Yuguang glanced at Chun Yuyan, and saw that there were small beads of sweat on her forehead, and the imperial doctor on the side was the same, Shangguan Yu didn't say much, there are things that he can't interfere in, and even if he has the heart, he is powerless.
After Xu Pingjun left, everything seemed to be very calm, and Liu Yi had buried her with the gift of the queen, needless to say, and was nicknamed "Mourning the Queen".
Liu Ai had watched Xu Pingjun, who was dressed in clothes, being quietly carried into the coffin, watching the coffin lid move more and more cages, and the gap became smaller and smaller, Liu Ai wanted to stop the coffin lid from moving forward, but he always clenched his fists, looking at Xu Pingjun's body, Xu Pingjun's face disappeared from his sight little by little, his eyes did not blink, just like she was dying, looking at this face that had accompanied her for five years, everything in the past, a smile quickly surged in his mind, until he heard the heavy sound when the coffin lid and the coffin body closed, Only then did she cut off the memories of the past, and after this moment, she could never see her face again, never hear her voice again, she could only live in her own heart.
The wind was blowing measuredly, and the rain that couldn't fall was like Liu Ai's mood, he insisted on sending Xu Pingjun on his last journey, to Duling South Park, watching the coffin buried by the soil, Liu Ai had stood in place, and had not moved for a long time. ”
After Bing Ji and Huo Guang looked at each other, Huo Guang nodded and led everyone to Du Ling to wait for Liu Ai.
After everyone left, Liu Yi faced the empty Du Ling, the empty tomb, "Pingjun, I can only send you here, after that, goodbye you is Qingming, you and I are separated from each other today, it has been two days, and there is only the next life when we say goodbye." Pingjun, do you know that if you are not with you, the emperor will be the same, what is there to love, but you can rest assured, I will complete the great cause of the world, and then reunite with you, the only thing I can't promise you is that I won't let go of your hatred and can't let go...... "No longer the peace of these days, hatred has replaced the deep affection, a gust of wind whistling from both sides, like the words brought by Xu Pingjun, but Liu Ai has turned away, leaving only the wind to sweep the sand and blow into the distance.
After Liu Yi had left Duling, he looked for Shangguan Youhao, "Youhao, how does the palace deal with people who have committed serious crimes?" "Menacing, Liu Ai's anger was so frightened that Shangguan was startled, and looked at him inquiringly, it turned out that he was calm for today.
"You're like this, can Pingjun feel at ease? If you have to find a few people to relieve the sorrow in your heart, I will find it for you, but this matter can end here, don't involve the innocent! Shangguan Youhao was a little excited, both public and private, she hoped that this matter could disappear with Xu Pingjun's burial.
"A person like Pingjun who wants to be harmed by people who don't fight or rob can be regarded as innocent, do you think I will believe that no one did it on purpose, do you think I will believe that everything is providential?" Liu Yi has a lot of strength to not give up, and the next order also confirmed his expression, "Spread my will, the people of Jiaofang Palace and Changding Palace will be severely tortured, and all doctors and female doctors who have been treated during the queen's illness will be sent to the prison, and the mastermind behind it must be found!" ”
With Liu Ai's order, the guards began to arrest people in Changding Palace, Shangguan Youyu knew that it was useless to persuade again, and he was also trembling in his heart, and he was also sad, whether Dahan was going to have another bloody storm, and all of this was because of the word vanity, who would be affected by this turmoil, and when would it stop, Shangguan's hazy brows were tightly condensed.
A few days later, between the Imperial Forest Army, everywhere to arrest people, all with Xu Pingjun on the side, let them be arrested in prison, for a while, the prison of Chang'an City was lively again, the prison was full of wailing and begging for mercy, under the severe punishment, many people in order to be able to be less tortured, Hu Xu alone became a life-saving straw, and that person became unfortunate, as for the original prisoners, they all listened to Liu Ai's life, for Xu Pingjun to be buried.
In the Great Wall, everyone is in danger, for fear that the next person who will be wrongfully imprisoned will be themselves, for fear that a good family will be broken up by someone's words, for fear that they will not see their relatives who are still at the border and have not returned, and when the entire Chang'an City is overwhelmed by black clouds, it is also surrounded by a panicked atmosphere.
Huo Guang originally thought that Liu Ill would get better after he was angry, and he let him vent, but it became more and more outrageous at the same time, Bing Ji and Zhang Anshi also discovered this problem, and Huo Guang came to discuss, how to dissuade him, if Liu Ill went down again, he was afraid that the Han would be in danger, and what also surprised them was that His Majesty was such an infatuated person, and he did not hesitate to do so in order to mourn the queen, and his breath was indeed too long.
"Alas......" Huo Guang sighed, "When will my Han country be stable?" "The thick sorrow spread on the faces of several people, who would have thought that the gentle Majesty would make a big fight and kill for the queen, and it didn't even matter whether that person was really involved in the queen's death, as long as it was related, it would be difficult to come out alive.
Liu Ai has turned a deaf ear to the sound outside, sitting alone in the Changding Palace, a pot of turbid wine, and now there is one person left, one person and one wine is the night to the dawn, Xu Pingjun is a confidant for Liu Ai, as Xu Pingjun said, from now on, Liu Ai can still talk to who has nothing to do with the things in his heart, the sudden loss of warmth, Liu Ai has not yet found a way to break it, can only remember the deceased here, and the sound of the outside has nothing to do with him, of course, he can't hear how many people complain, how many people cry and scream.
Shangguan Youhao and Huo Chengjun were outside the room through the gap in the window, looking at Liu Ai inside, wanting to persuade but not knowing where to start, suddenly, Shangguan Youhao looked at Huo Chengjun, "Chengjun, you go in and persuade him." With a glimmer of hope, but with a few wisps of complexity, perhaps Huo Chengjun and Liu Yi have already been destined for this period of continuous fate, but should this be happy or sad?
