Chapter 100: The End of the World
As long as the peach blossoms bloom for a year, I will accompany Xiao Pu'er for a year until the end of this world and the day when the peach blossoms are no longer in full bloom. Pu'er, this king wants to give you a lifetime of favor, a lifetime, a lifetime, a couple. ”
The beautiful picture actually delayed the journey, and when they returned from Xiling Mountain, it was already sunset, and ten thousand lights were on.
"Lord Wang!" As soon as he turned the corner of the street, before he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw Mu Changfeng guarding the gate of the courtyard like a Praetorian Guard, standing there coldly with a long sword in his arms, hunting and flying in the cold wind in a black shirt, with a solemn expression and a frown.
She was stunned.
He must be worried about Ye Mingxi, right? After all, he is his master, and he has not returned for a day and a night......
And now, he is still seriously injured because of her......
"Guard Mu, we ......"
She glanced at him guiltily, and just wanted to explain to him, but as soon as she didn't want to say anything, Mu Changfeng had already turned around and returned to the courtyard, "Lord Wang, Miss Jia, please come in." ”
She was stunned for a moment, looked back at Ye Mingxi, and showed a trace of doubt between her eyebrows.
She didn't understand why Ye Mingxi was injured, but Mu Changfeng didn't ask a word, and even, he obviously saw the wound on Ye Mingxi's lower abdomen, but he didn't even have a word of concern, and he didn't even have a trace of worry and anxious eyes.
It seems that Ye Mingxi's injury has become a habit in his opinion.
Ye Mingxi smiled softly at her, and then shook his head, with a helpless expression, but there was no displeasure between his eyebrows.
It seems that Mu Changfeng's reaction has become commonplace.
Gently shook the back of her hand, "Pu'er, let's go in." ”
She nodded as if she were pecking rice, and hurriedly grabbed his arm tightly, helping him carefully across the threshold.
After a night of tossing, although Ye Mingxi didn't say or admit it, his physical strength became weaker and weaker.
By the time Ye Mingxi was placed in the East House, Mu Changfeng had already brought back a large number of medicinal materials from outside, Mu Changfeng said that because Ye Mingxi was the prince, he couldn't find a doctor to seek medical treatment, so he could only trouble her to do it herself.
She felt so strange, why couldn't she see the doctor when the prince was sick and injured, but looking at Mu Changfeng's serious and serious eyes, she had no choice but to swallow the question back into her stomach.
Silently staring at the face on the bed with her eyes closed, she suddenly lowered her head and pecked him gently and quickly on the outside cheek.
In the dim light, his face was so pale, but it was so beautiful, her heart was pounding rapidly, and even her chest was slightly undulating.
"Mingxi, wait for me."
But he didn't want to, as soon as he turned around, his hand was grabbed, "Pu'er." ”
She came back to her senses, and a glimmer of brilliance suddenly appeared in her eyes, "Mingxi, are you awake?" ”
"Where are you going?" He looked at her sullenly, his dark green eyes faintly pitying, like a child full of grievances, "You're going to leave me, aren't you?" ”
She suddenly laughed dumbly, oh my God, how could he say that, how could she leave him?
"Fool, it's just, I'm going to give you some medicine, and I'll be back soon."
"Really?" He raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
She nodded, "Of course, but you have to be honest and obedient, have a good rest, hurry up and get some sleep, wake up, and Pu'er will be back." ”
"Yes." He immediately obediently retracted his face into the quilt, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
But before she could turn around, he hurriedly ripped off the quilt, "I'm already awake." ”
"Night, Yi, Hee." She couldn't help but laugh dumbly again, now in front of her, he really looked like an innocent and dependent child, but she liked him so much, so that she was filled with a feeling of happiness all the time, overflowing in her heart.
deliberately pretended to be angry, "If you don't sleep obediently, I really won't come back." ”
"I sleep, I sleep, I just sleep." He hurriedly buried his face back in the quilt, he was afraid that she would run away if she got angry.
She smiled, shook her head helplessly, and turned away.
It's just that when she just stepped out of the threshold, a sullen sentence suddenly came from behind her, "Don't think I don't know, you kissed me secretly just now, Calamus, if you want to run, you have to be responsible for me for the rest of your life." ”
Add a handful of straw and gently shake the fan in your hand, and the dried grass branches immediately lead to the aftermath of the ashes, crackling and burning.
The boiling herbs were bubbling hotly, and the lid of the jar was constantly lifted, and the whole kitchen was filled with a strong aroma of herbs.
wiped a handful of fine sweat slightly, and then exhaled, fortunately, when he was in Jiangfu before, he had mastered the habits of various medicinal materials, so now he can only lift his weight when he boils medicine. Niang's body has always been very weak and needs to be supported by medicine all year round, so she gradually learned to decoction medicine, knowing which herbs need to be fried for more hours, and which medicines only need to be baked over low heat and boiled for a few minutes.
Mother......
Thinking of my mother, I couldn't help but feel a little sour on both sides of my snort.
Mother now, it should be regarded as a real rest......
Mother, now Pu'er, is doing very well, Pu'er also met the most important person in her life, that person, called Ye Mingxi......
"Lady Calamus." Behind her, a voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts.
She came to her senses, hurriedly wiped her eyes with her cuffs, and turned around, "Guard Mu? ”
I saw Mu Changfeng standing upright at the door, the expression on his face was as gloomy and solemn as when she first entered the door with Ye Mingxi, and her brows were tightly locked.
She quickly rubbed her hands to her side a few times, her expression a little anxious, "Why, isn't Mingxi him-"
What's wrong?
"It's you!" But before she could finish speaking, a cold sword had already been pressed against her throat, and at the same time, her eyes were also met with a pair of cold piercing eyes!
She was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant, but she saw his eyes clearly at the moment, cold, ruthless, mixed with a hint of hatred, which was very different from the gentleness and doting when he looked at her before.
"Guard Mu, what are you, what's wrong?" She stared blankly at the sword in his hand, the sword glowed with a cold cold light, sharp as a blade, and under her jaw, there was a trace of cold breath, "It's because...... Am I hurting Mingxi, am I hurt? ”
A hint of murder flashed in his cold eyes, and he didn't answer, just turned the hilt of the sword in his hand and stabbed at her mercilessly!
Seeing that the blade of the sword was about to touch his throat, a familiar voice suddenly came from the courtyard, "Pu'er! ”
She only felt a flash of cold light in front of her, and before she could ease her senses, there was a "snap", the sword had been sheathed, and at the same time, at the door, Ye Mingxi's figure also appeared, "Pu'er, why is it so long...... Changfeng, are you too? ”
She was stunned and didn't know how to answer, but Mu Changfeng had already answered on her behalf, "I see that so much time has passed, and the medicine has not yet been decocted, so I came over to take a look, so I can see if Miss Calamus needs help." ”
She turned her head in surprise and saw Mu Changfeng's calm face, as if nothing had happened just now, and he really just came to help her.
"But, fortunately, as soon as I arrived, the calamus girl had already fried the medicine almost to the ground, calamus girl, I don't know if the medicine can be completely fried now?" He looked at her gently, with a respectful attitude, and the doting in his eyes flowed slowly, "What, is there anything dirty on the face, why does the girl keep staring at it?" ”
She was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses, "No, no...... Oh, the medicine, the medicine has been decocted. ”
lowered his head, and then went to serve the medicine jar, but the moment he touched the medicine jar, he suddenly retracted his hand, and the lid of the jar was also turned over with a "ding", making a crisp echo.
"Ah, it's hot!"
The hand was squeezed suddenly, and then wrapped in a pair of warm palms, Ye Mingxi lowered her head, raised her hand to her mouth, and sighed softly, "You, you, how can you be so careless, it's hot now, how is it, does it hurt?" ”
She raised her eyes and glanced at Mu Changfeng, seeing that Mu Changfeng's face was still the same, respectfully and calmly did not show a trace of abnormality, and she couldn't help but retract her hand and said, "No, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all." ”
"That's good." Ye Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved, a smile suddenly ignited on the evil ghost's face, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "By the way, Pu'er, I just have something to look for you." ”
She was stunned, "Looking for me?" What's up? ”
He took her hand, "Come with me, and you'll know when you go." ”
She looked at the steaming medicine jar on the ground, "But, but the prince's medicine hasn't been drunk yet......
"Don't worry," he didn't give her a chance to stay, just dragged her out the door, "If you delay a meal of medicine, you won't die, what's more, isn't there still a long wind, when the medicine is cold, the long wind will send the medicine into the king's room." ”
"But, the prince...... Hey, Lord Wang......"
"Lord Wang, the place you are talking about is here?" Looking at the backyard in front of her, which had been cleaned up several times but was still dilapidated, her face showed a trace of doubt.
Brought her here without saying anything, and she looked excited, was it just to let her see how bleak the backyard of this courtyard was?
He faced her doubts, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, as if he had already guessed her expression, "Pu'er, close your eyes." ”
She pointed to her nose, not knowing why, "Close your eyes, is the prince saying, slave?" ”
"Didn't you say a long time ago, between you and me, you are no longer allowed to be called despicable, I don't call Pu'er this king, and Pu'er must not call me a slave and maid, so soon I forgot it?" He approached her, whispered in a low voice, and his right hand had wrapped around her waist as he spoke, and he couldn't help but say, and took three or two steps into the air, "Pu'er, be careful!" ”
"Ahh She only felt the cold wind whirring in her ears, and while screaming, she felt that her body shook, and her toes had stepped on a bumpy ground.
In his ears, his gentle voice sounded, like a spring breeze blowing in his face, "Okay." ”
She opened her eyes and looked around in shock, only to find that the two of them were already standing more than ten feet above the ground, and at her feet was the big tree with lush branches next to the backyard.
"Ahh She only felt that her center of gravity was unbalanced, and the soles of her feet trembled, "Okay, so high, the slave is afraid!" ”
"Grace woman, what did you just call yourself?" He pretended to be angry and deliberately loosened the arm around her waist, "Pu'er, you're disobedient." ”
"Don't, don't let go!" She screamed again and again, but she couldn't be reserved in her heart, and hugged his waist tightly, "Pu'er is afraid, Pu'er doesn't dare anymore, Mingxi don't let go of me!" ”
The corners of his mouth suddenly burst into a smug smile, standing quietly in the air, feeling the warmth in front of his chest, suddenly feeling so comfortable all over his body, and a trace of long-lost happiness in his heart......
He lowered his head and put his mouth to her ear, "Pu'er, look at the sky." ”
She looked up from his arms, stared at the sky, and suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, what a beautiful moon......"
I saw a crescent moon hanging in the night like a petal, bright and bright, and the stars surrounded it like fireflies, sometimes chasing, sometimes quiet, like a bright moon, the stars arching the moon.
"Pu'er, the other day was my birthday, the day I brought you back from the street." He whispered slowly, his warm breath spraying around her ears, and his low voice was particularly intoxicating in the silent night sky, "In my memory, no one has been with me for a long time......
To be precise, since he was a child, except for the time when his mother accompanied him once when he was eight years old, the only other time was three years ago......
"You mean, king, that the day you brought me back from the street was your birthday?" She opened her eyes wide, looking at him in some surprise, after the fright just now, the prince who came to her lips made her hold back and replaced it with you and me.
Ye Mingxi nodded, the expression on his face seemed to be a little sad, "En." ”
"What a coincidence!" She looked at him excitedly, the expression on her face was excited, "That day, that day also happens to be Pu'er's birthday!" ”
"Your birthday?" He looked at her in amazement, and such a coincidence made a trace of excitement rise in his heart for a moment, it was such a coincidence!
"That's right, that day also happened to be Pu'er's birthday, it turned out that Pu'er and Mingxi were born on the same day!" She hugged his arm excitedly, "Then, every birthday in the future, Pu'er can spend it with Mingxi!" Sensing the slight sadness on his face, she couldn't help biting her lip again, "What's wrong, isn't it, is it that Pu'er said something wrong...... Still, Pu'er's request is too much......"
He stared at her shining eyes and the deep anticipation on her face, his eyes doting, "Pu'er didn't say anything wrong, it's not too much, I'm just, some haven't reacted yet......" Gripping her hand, he branded a gentle kiss on the back of her white hand, "Then, everything will be up to Pu'er, and I will accompany Pu'er on every birthday in the future." ”
A happy smile suddenly bloomed on her face.
"The moon is so beautiful tonight!" She looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and excitedly took his hand and shook it gently, I don't know why, since she knew that she and Ye Mingxi were born on the same day, her heart seemed to be happy, perhaps, this is the power of love, "Mingxi, accompany Pu'er to enjoy the moon together, okay?" ”
He nodded dotingly, then helped her to sit down cautiously, "Be careful." ”
The moon tonight is really beautiful...... Sitting on the high tree, feeling the night breeze blowing slowly in your ears, the crescent moon is so close, as if it is not far from your head, and it can be picked up.
Looking up at the stars in the sky together, he looked at her, as if whispering in a low voice, "Originally, in this life, I thought that I would never have a birthday again......"
"Why?" She turned her head and looked at him with some confusion, the night blurred his outline, but a trace of sorrow between his brows still fell clearly into her eyes.
Isn't it a very grand event for a royal prince like him to celebrate his birthday every year, and he doesn't even plan to celebrate his birthday in this life?
He seemed to be talking to himself, "When I was very young, my biological mother, Concubine Li, was beaten into the cold palace, I remember that year, when I was eight years old, she begged the eunuch who guarded the door of the cold palace, and personally went to the imperial dining room to make my favorite osmanthus paste for me, but ...... But because of this," said this, his body suddenly trembled, his fists suddenly clenched very tightly, and his expression was sad, "I killed the mother who loved me the most!" ”
Memories came quickly in my mind, the eunuch guards who broke into Lihe Palace, the frightened expression on my mother's face, he and Ye Yifeng stood next to me in fear and cried, and the next day, the eunuch re-entered Lihe Palace and announced the news that Niang was afraid of hanging herself......
Fear of sin!
Thinking of this, his fists couldn't help but clench more and more, and the muscles of his face twitched slightly.
She didn't know how to comfort him, so she held his hand and said, "I'm sorry......"
Thinking that over the years, he has struggled alone in the bloody storm of the royal family, and suddenly understands that his ruthlessness, his conspiracy, and his calculations are all just, in order to survive, there is a trace of hardship in his heart.
He shook his head, his eyes shining, "Fortunately, I finally have you." ”
Her heart trembled, and she felt that what was buried deep in her heart quietly woke up.
She looked at his side face, felt the warm breath blowing in his ears, and for a moment, she felt that he had always been lonely and lonely, lonely, lonely in heart, so only by showing indifference could she pretend not to care, even if her heart was more eager than anyone else.
She didn't understand what was reviving in her heart, she only knew that at this moment, she wanted to protect him so that he would never be lonely again.
Many years later, when she recalls this night again, her heart will still flutter for this short and quiet sentence, perhaps, that is love, love deeply, love firmly, love, never to be recovered.
That day, I only remember falling asleep in the crook of his arm, and I don't know when, he carried her into the house.
She fell asleep in his arms, well-behaved and beautiful, like an elegant and lovely fawn, her full little mouth slightly upturned, and her sleep was sweet and delicate.
That night, she remembered that he had been lying beside her all the time talking, telling stories about him when he was a child, about the thrilling events that happened in the palace, about the bewitching and beautiful concubines who were jealous of each other, and about the royal brothers who were outwardly benevolent but fought for the throne.
That night, she learned a lot of things she didn't know before.
It turned out that the Seventh Prince, who seemed to have a bright appearance, had such a tragic and painful past.
The mother concubine was framed, and she was also adopted by Dong Guifei in the harem of the palace, and she was only six years old when she kissed her younger brother, and once separated, she entered the door of Xu Guifei, whose status was second only to Dong Guifei.
And the fourth prince, who has been friends with him since he was a child, the elder brother who has always played the loving and brave role of the eldest brother like a father in front of him, also did not hesitate to break with him for the throne two years ago and stabbed him in the back.
He said that he just wanted a loved one who really cared about him, but why, it was so difficult.
Therefore, after licking the wounds again and again, he can only close himself, so that he can become stronger and no longer be bullied.
"That day, I really didn't think about sending you to Feng Zhennan, whether you believe it or not......" He grabbed her hand and whispered to himself, "I have already lost once, this time, how can I be willing to ......"
For more than a month, Ye Mingxi stayed in the courtyard to recuperate.
In his spare time, he quarreled with her, laughed and scolded, read at night or with the lamp, or accompanied her to watch the stars, and the days were also enjoyable.
Only on occasional occasions would he lock himself in his bedroom and not allow anyone to disturb him.
She never blamed him for deceiving her, nor did he complain in the slightest, and that night he had opened his heart to her, and had dissected the most unguarded part of his heart before her, which was enough for her.
It was Mu Changfeng, since he almost shot at her in the kitchen that day, when they met again, although they were still the same as before, however, there was always an indescribable affection in the expressions of the two.
She never guessed why he did that day, and she didn't understand why he obviously killed him, but he still had to cover up the truth in front of Ye Mingxi, is it just because Ye Mingxi likes herself, but did she hurt Ye Mingxi? So, he hates her?
However, since that day, he has never touched her again, but he always has to be so day and night several times a day, especially when facing Ye Mingxi, he has to pretend to be happy as if nothing happened, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Turning to the hottest stage of summer, the slowly flowing air suddenly became hot and dry, and even the shrill cicadas from the trees were hoarse and weak.
"Hey, woman, stop working and go to the market with me."
As soon as she finished pumping water, she raised her sleeves to wipe her face, and a white figure came straight at her and dragged her wrist.
After a month of recuperation, Ye Mingxi's abdominal injury has almost healed, and he moves as freely as before he was injured.
She turned around, couldn't wipe the fine beads of sweat off her forehead, but her eyes widened, "Go to the market?" ”
Since he lived in this courtyard, he has never stepped out of this door one day, and for the sake of her safety, he did not allow her to leave without permission, and all the items and others in the courtyard were handled by Mu Changfeng alone. And now, what kind of madness is he smoking?
Ye Mingxi nodded, with a smile like the moon between his eyebrows, "Yes, don't you always say that it's boring to stay here, so, seeing that the injury has gradually improved, I can't wait to take Xiao Pu'er out to relieve my boredom!" ”
"But......" she said, not understanding why he took her every word so seriously.
He couldn't wait to drag her out, "It's rare that the weather is a little cooler today, wouldn't it be a pity not to go shopping." ”
She sighed, and suddenly remembered something, "Clothes reward, Ye Mingxi, my clothes haven't changed yet." ”
