Chapter 235: Happy (Finale)
It has been more than a month since he returned to the Dingnan Palace, Guilin, and Sizhen still wakes up from his dreams every time, as if he is still in detention, always on guard and cautious. (6) Eight (6) Eight (6) Read (6) Book, .□.≠o
If she hadn't looked forward to seeing Cheng Ze and Sun Yanling again, she really didn't know how she had survived all these years.
When the city of Guilin was broken, Cheng Ze disappeared, and Si Zhen learned that Cheng Ze was booby-trapped by Wu Shicong's scheme, but she refused to believe it, from the perspective of coercing her, it was better to keep Cheng Ze's life than to kill him, so she believed what Wu Shicong said, Cheng Ze was hidden by them, as long as she obediently followed Wu Jun.
She left with Wu Jun and was placed under house arrest in Kunming for six years, and in the past six years, she has been looking forward to the father and son suddenly appearing, even if only one appears, it's fine!
However, until the city of Kunming was broken and Wu Shi committed suicide, she regained her freedom and did not see Chengze.
For so many years, she relied on that little bit of belief, firmly believing that Sun Yanling's father and son were still alive in the world, and she survived day by day.
Sizhen doesn't know how long she can last!
At night, the evening breeze sent the strong fragrance of camellia outside the window into the house, Sizhen wore a plain white middle coat, put on a robe and got out of bed, walked slowly to the window, and greedily smelled the faint fragrance.
In the house and garden, it was very quiet, in the bloody battle in Guilin City six years ago, magpies, blue magpies, many people who served her closely, including the women's army brought out by herself, most of them were gone, only thrush and her, two lonely widows, all the way to be companions, and then, in Kunming City, the people who served her were Wu Sangui's people, and after returning to freedom, those people were dismissed.
Even if she was free, she would wake up suddenly at night, take the sword by the pillow, point at the little maid who served by the bed, and once, she almost killed someone, and from then on, no one but the thrush could enter the room where she slept.
Someone heard the commotion and whispered by the door of the outhouse, "Princess, are you going to get up at night?" ”
Sizhen shook her head, and by the faint light of the glass palace lamp in the corner of the house, she saw the maid on duty that night standing outside the crystal curtain with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered, and she was cautious, so she said softly: "I'm a little thirsty, bring me a cup of tea." ”
After a while, the maid came in with a cup of hot tea, gently rested on the table, picked the wick in the palace lamp, and saw that the light was much brighter, she stood aside, still looking at the nose and nose and heart, waiting for Sizhen's next command.
Sizhen waved his hand and said, "Go down, I'll fall asleep after drinking this tea." ”
The maid was stunned for a long time, and persuaded: "Princess, although this tea is light, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sleep after drinking it at night, or will the slave maid make you a new cup of red date tea?" ”
Sizhen rejected her kindness and said lightly: "That's it, just this one, I can't sleep, but it's not for this tea." Go down, and I will call you for something. ”
The maid blessed her body and quietly withdrew, and Yu Sizhen was in the back room, sitting at the table, looking at the hot air rising in the tea cup in a daze.
When the heat dissipated, Sizhen didn't drink the tea, she blew out the light in one breath, quietly returned to the bed, took off her robe, put it into the quilt, and wrapped herself tightly and lay down.
Although she closed her eyes, she didn't feel any sleep, remembering that Sun Yanling's father and son, who still had no news, even if they had made the worst plans, even if they had been discouraged, she still missed them, only when she thought about them, those pasts and sweetness and laughter, the pain of losing her heart, made her feel that she was still alive.
Although it was already wrapped tightly, Sizhen still felt the cold wind on all sides, and she pulled the quilt up again, leaving only one head outside.
Inexplicably, she felt that there was one more person in the dark room, and she was so startled that she stretched out her hand and went to get the short sword next to the pillow.
A warm hand pressed her down, and she heard a hoarse voice whisper, "It's me!" It's me! ”
Although the voice was hoarse and deep, full of vicissitudes, Sizhen still heard a little familiar.
Chastity!
He called her Chastity!
There is only one person who calls her name like this all these years!
Are you dreaming?
Sizhen inhaled hard, opened his eyes, and looked at the blurred figure in front of him, trying to calm his beating heart.
She couldn't, and in the silence of the night, she heard her heart beating like a drum.
She stretched out her hand and slowly touched the vague figure, and said in a trembling voice, "Erlang, is it you?" ”
The black shadow was silent for a moment, then put her hand to her lips and kissed it softly: "It's me!" It's me! ”
He hugged Sizhen and whispered, "You know, I've always been there." ”
Sizhen's heart was warm and soft, she held Sun Yuling's hand, and tears dripped like beads of broken threads: "I know, I knew you would come back, I knew that you would not leave me, and I would not leave me alone in this world......"
Sizhen looked at Sun Yanling in front of her, and suddenly had an illusion, as if he had never left her, as if the scene in front of her was like many nights before, she woke up in a dream, he hugged her and comforted her, this embrace was both familiar and unfamiliar.
In the dark, she touched Sun Yanling's stubble and emaciation, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing Sun Yanling again, Sizhen only felt that all the bitter pain over the years had disappeared in an instant, she hugged him tightly without hesitation, and choked in a low voice: "I've been waiting for you, I know that you're fine, you're fine......"
All her uneasiness dissipated, and in Sun Yanling's arms, she murmured to him about her parting feelings.
After a long time, she realized that in addition to hugging her tightly and caressing her cheeks, Sun Yanling had been silent.
Touching his hand on Sun Yanling's thin and rough cheeks, Sizhen said softly, "But what happened?" Jiro, no matter what happens, it's good for you to come back! ”
"Back then, although I injured Dong Quanzhong, I was slashed a few times by his people, and later I was hit by a stray bullet, burning my face and throat, although I escaped through the witchcraft taught by my master, I was unconscious and lost my memory......" Speaking of the past, Sun Yanling's voice was flat, but Sizhen was worried when he heard it.
Disfigured, lost her memory, did hard labor, did heavy work, and then with the vague flashing of her shadow in her mind, she kept supporting, and then carried things at the dock, and was hit on the head by the overseer before remembering the past, from Yunnan to Guangxi, looking for her all the way...... What kind of life has he lived all these years!
Hearing Sizhen's crying, Sun Yanling hugged her tighter, and he said in Sizhen's ear: "Silly Zhenzhen, aren't I coming back?" If you don't dislike me for being ugly now, then follow me to hide my name and live in seclusion among the mountains and rivers? Our family, can we live a peaceful life? You know, two years ago, I found Chengze, and I was going to Kunming City to rescue you, but the guards were strict, and I didn't succeed several times, and I was almost caught......"
Hearing that Cheng Ze was also alive, Sizhen cried with joy!
After calming down, she began to think about Sun Yanling's stay.
As we all know, in the battle of besieging the mountain in the fifteenth year of Kangxi, everyone said that Sun Yanling had died on the battlefield, and she, although she was freed, was placed under house arrest by Wu Jun for six years, which was bound to cause some evasion in the imperial court...... After all, he pretended to be attached to Wu Sangui for her back then, and now it is difficult to tell the truth.
He died in that year, he was killed, and if he was still alive, he would be a rebel and a thief.
Just like when she came back this time, she listened to a lot of cold words, some said that she was not loyal to the country and lived in the world, which was a shame, and some said that she had actually voted for Wu Sangui at that time, so she was not dead, and now that the Wu family is defeated, she has become a hero who resisted the "rebellion of the three feudatories".
Only by giving up the identities of Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen can they live a peaceful life again.
She said without hesitation: "Okay, let's not be this princess, just be an ordinary person and live our life happily." ”
Sun Yanling kissed the corner of her forehead: "Although the maid in the outhouse has been ordered to sleep by me, I still can't stay here for a long time, you listen to me...... When the arrangement is made, you will go to the Yunxuan Inn in Dali, Yunnan to find me, we will go our separate ways and will not attract attention......"
Sizhen nodded frequently when she heard this, and when Sun Yanling got up, she held his hand and didn't let go: "...... Jiro, let me see you......"
After a moment of silence, Sun Yanling said in a dumb voice: "I am now very different from before, aren't you afraid?" ”
Sizhen shook her head, remembering that in the dark, Sun Yanling couldn't see her movements, and hurriedly said: "No matter what you become, I will follow you, Erlang, let me see you, as long as it is you, even if you become a ghost, I will not be afraid......"
Sun Yanling let go of her.
Sizhen took the flint and lit the lamp.
The beard on his face and the exposed skin are all pitted after being burned by the fire......
Except for those eyes, she could hardly recognize that the person in front of her was the handsome and incomparable Sun Yanling in the past.
"Erlang" pounced on Sun Yanling and hugged him, and Sizhen burst into tears.
"Look at this, you are not afraid, but you are a little disgusted!" Sun Yanling said softly.
Sizhen wiped the tears on her face: "No, I'm happy, I'm happier than anything else to see you safe......"
She kissed Sun Yanling's lips.
After a long time, Sun Yanling reluctantly let go of her, turned around, pushed the window and jumped out.
In the twenty-first year of Kangxi (1682), the Qing Dynasty withdrew the Dingnan Domain and subordinated it to the Eight Banners Han Army.
In the letter, Sizhen said that the war was over, her wish for many years had been fulfilled, and she no longer wanted to live in the world, so she wanted to go with Sun Yanling's father and son, and asked the Empress Dowager to forgive her for her unfilial piety, thank the Empress Dowager and the emperor for her long, and ask the Empress Dowager to treat her thrush as a sister......
As a result, the imperial court did not announce the death of Sizhen, but let the thrush live in the princess's mansion in Xihuamen as Sizhen, until the fifty-second year of Kangxi (1713), the thrush died, and the court held a grand funeral for Princess Kezhen, and buried Sizhen's clothes in the princess's grave.
And the real princess Kong Sizhen, between the blue sky and clear water of Dali, Yunnan, spent the rest of her life incognito and freely.
