When the queen saw the concubine say such things, she felt a little unbearable, but when she thought of being abused by her, she felt that she was inexplicable, so she simply turned around and walked away and stopped listening. But when she got to the door, she saw her palace maid come in and whispered: "Niangniang, the people of Mingde Hall are sneaky outside, like the emperor has come to inquire about some news." ”

The queen sighed deeply: "What else is there to explore, people can't keep it." She turned around and saw Xiangxiang sitting next to the concubine again.

"Do you want to see my child before leaving?" Xiangxiang asked, reaching out to smooth Jing Shu's messy hair, she is still so young, but there are traces of old age on her face, and the scars left again and again, it turned out that she was covered with fat powder on weekdays, but now she doesn't apply powder, and it is all exposed in front of her.

"In the past, it was said that in the future, when we get married and have children, we must be the godmothers of our children, boys will be brothers, girls will be sisters, and if there are boys and girls, then we will be husband and wife." Jingshu said slowly, although Xiangxiang was arranging her hair, she didn't look at Xiangxiang, her eyes seemed to have gone far, far away, as if she was looking for a place to be safe.

"But I don't have any children." Jingshu seemed to have a smile on her face, but it was so desolate that it was chilling, she gradually turned her gaze to Xiangxiang's stomach, and said softly, "In this life, I can take a look at your child." But I know that you don't care anymore, we are not sisters for a long time, and the promises we once made do not exist. But in any case, shall I take one last look at your child? ”

Xiangxiang's heart sank into the abyss, she was uneasy for Qi Hui, and when she had no support in her heart, Jing Shu said the words of parting from life and death. Indeed, after going through so many things, she hated Jingshu more than once, and wanted to cut off the sisterhood more than once, but now when everything is about to return to peace, when the things she is looking forward to will come true, she can't help but feel that the past is either over.

Xiangxiang can't judge what is going on with her repeated emotions, if Jingshu is now healthy and still showing her teeth and claws, of course she won't think so, but Jingshu is already between life and death, more than ten years of love, no matter how hard her heart is, she will give birth to compassion, but is this kind of compassion still interesting to Jingshu? For herself, is it a sign of cowardice?

She hopes that she will become a strong person in her heart, but in terms of emotion, in addition to Qi Xuan's unswerving love, for Jingshu, and even for Pang Qianyou and the emperor, she has been hovering between morality and affection. The queen said that the taste of full strength is really good, Xiangxiang also felt it, she was used to looking down on everyone, and she began to see clearly what she was thinking. And if she can't see herself clearly, she will feel uneasy, but now she has no one to rely on, and her husband has not returned.

On the way out of the Longevity Palace, Xiangxiang and the queen walked side by side, the weather was getting hotter, the queen had a delicate folding fan in her hand, and enthusiastically fanned Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang shook his head and pushed back, and said: "Am I becoming particularly hypocritical now." ”

"How do you say that?" The queen didn't understand, but when she thought about it, she guessed that Xiangxiang was worried about Concubine Jing, and said with a smile, "Actually, I ran away just now because I saw her so miserable, and I felt a little unbearable, but I don't want to forgive her, never want to, then out of sight." But I can forgive her, it's up to me what to do, if my sister wants to be nice to her, I won't care, anyway, she can't bully me anymore. ”

"It's also when I see her pitiful, I want to forget the past, but the people who died because of her, can we also forget the hardships we have suffered." Xiangxiang smiled bitterly, "I'm very troubled, the more I think about it, the more I feel hypocritical." ”

"Then my sister will let go of her arms and be good with her, and truly become sisters again." The queen said freely, "It's a big deal that when she relapsed into her old ways, she kicked her away." ”

Xiangxiang smiled, shook the queen's hand and said, "Our little queen is also beginning to be able to explain people, I want to find someone to talk to, but I don't know where to start." ”

The queen smiled: "I think I am still very understanding, maybe the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha will become a generation of grandmasters." ”

These are all jokes, but in order to relieve Xiangxiang, what Xiangxiang didn't dare to say was that she couldn't wait for Qi Hui's letter, everyone was celebrating happily for the victory in the war, only she was worried about her husband's safety because she was "neglected" by Qi Hui, so strange things, even Shen Yan never received Shifeng's letter, only Jian Feng kept coming out of the news, she wanted to ask Jian Feng, it was terrible that if Jian Feng was burdened with something, why embarrass her.

Two days later, Xiangxiang would come to the Longevity Palace every day to visit Jingshu for half an hour, some people said to talk, Jingshu's body seemed to be a little better, that day Xiangxiang came in the rain, she leaned on the head of the bed and said: "Why bother to come in the rain, what if you fall." ”

"The two places are not far away, and I will leave as soon as I see you." Xiangxiang changed into clean clothes by the palace maid and said, "The people in the sewing room have come to make summer shirts, so let's make them for you." ”

Jingshu shook her head: "I wear beautiful clothes, who to see." ”

Xiangxiang said: "Show it to yourself, don't I watch it too?" ”

Jingshu closed her eyes tiredly to catch her breath, and when Xiangxiang approached, she suddenly opened her eyes and said, "I want to see the emperor, will you agree?" ”

Xiangxiang really frowned, and was speechless for a while.

"I just want to look at him again and ask him a few words." Jingshu touched her thin cheeks, the pointed chin was down to the touch, she hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time, and she didn't know if it would look scary. Taking a deep breath, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know when I'm leaving, I want to make a conclusion." ”

Xiangxiang said: "You are not in good health, wait until your health is better, what is the point of seeing him, do you want to continue to live with him in the future, if not, don't see him again." ”

Jingshu smiled bitterly: "The last time, just the last time, when I beg you." ”

Xiangxiang didn't understand, and asked Jingshu: "What do you want to say when you see him?" ”

Jingshu smiled hard and said, "I don't know, I just want to meet, I always feel that I haven't done anything serious in my life." ”

Xiangxiang didn't understand the words, she didn't want Jingshu to go to see the emperor, and Jingshu was sick like this, and she didn't have the strength to walk out of the Longevity Palace, she has been firmly refused, but day by day, Jingshu begged her every day, and all kinds of news came from the border every day, even if she didn't mention those men, Xiangxiang could feel Shen Yan's uneasiness in the palace. But this time, her uneasiness was purely an imposition on Shen Yan, Shen Yan knew everything, but was told not to tell Xiangxiang for the time being.

I don't remember how many days have passed, Xiangxiang is busy with serious things every day, and he sews small clothes for the children, and the rumors outside are ready to welcome the triumph of the army, and the large army has slowly approached, but the closer they go home, the more uneasy Xiangxiang becomes, and gradually unable to patiently sew clothes, and they are entrusted to the palace maid in the sewing room.

On this day, I came to the Longevity Palace to see Jingshu, she was leaning on the sewing purse, her hands were weak, the stitches of the purse were messy and rough, she held it up to Xiangxiang and said: "You will dislike it, I still have some gold and silver, and when the child is born, I will take this purse and give it to her, if it is a girl, it will be put into the dowry in the future, if it is a boy, turn back to the little daughter-in-law." ”

She seemed to be fantasizing about her child's future, and she smiled as she spoke, Xiangxiang saw that she was in a slightly better spirit, and she was really happy in her heart, but she was swayed by her past emotions, and she couldn't let go of it after all.

And at this moment, Jingshu begged her again: "Let me take a look at the emperor, Xiangxiang, promise me, I always feel that I can't live tomorrow." ”

Xiang Xiang flipped the crude purse in his hand, and his heart became more and more shaken.

"Xiangxiang, I beg you, let me go to see him again." Jingshu stretched out her withered hand, "Just this once, for the last time." ”

"Is it because you still like him and still love him?" Xiangxiang asked.

"Maybe." Jing Shu smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Or, I want to see how miserable he is, I want to dress up beautifully, can you comb my hair for me?" ”

is so persistently entangled, but she doesn't make noise or just calmly begging, saying that she is abnormal, but since she is seriously ill, she has changed into a person, and the imperial doctor says every day that the concubine is not optimistic, because this person has no intention of survival, she is negative and depressed, and it is useless to take more medicine.

"Then you can only look at it." Xiangxiang finally let go, Jingshu's hand was so thin that even her skin was wrinkled, she was very heartbroken to see it, forget it, the person who is about to die is regarded as the last but she has a wish, if she can be pulled back from the brink of life and death, I hope that just like she trusted the queen to let her be reborn, Song Jingshu can also start again. She promised Jingshu that she could choose her own path in the future.

"I'll comb your hair." Xiangxiang got up and motioned to the palace maids to help the concubine sit in front of the mirror.

The rouge boiled in the flower juice, the dew picked in the early morning, the pearls of the East China Sea ground into powder, the jade of the Western Regions made gestures, the sisters who used to perform day and night for a bite of food, and endured the hardships of the sisters, now use the best things in the world, the servants around them are like clouds, the food comes to open their mouths and clothes to stretch their hands, and the days in the dream are now in front of them every day, but they are about to separate life and death.

It seems destined to be able to work hard, not to be rich together.

Jingshu is beautiful, Xiang Xiang held her hand and walked up the long stairs of the Mingde Palace, the two of them had walked here in different postures, the same road, but leading to a completely different world, even life and death.

"I'll rescue you later." Jingshu held on to the door frame, the long staircase made her almost breathless, she breathed heavily and said, "Xiangxiang, don't go in, I'll come out in a while." ”

Xiangxiang let go of his hand and said, "I'll wait for you in front of the door, be careful, don't say anything superfluous, he's a madman." ”
