Chapter 172: The End of Life
What imprints into the eye is the step of the phoenix wearing the peony lying in it, which is extremely delicate and small, and it is full of color.
I didn't have time to say anything, and I didn't even have a good look at this step, but I saw that the step was glued by Long Yuling's fingers, and I heard him say softly: "Come, Mo'er, you must look good wearing this, this is my mother's ornament, I went back to the palace after dinner, and I found it in the treasury after looking for a long time." Look, it's pretty."
I was stunned, he was still with him for dinner tonight, and he left the palace after dinner, just to find this thing to give me as a gift for the Qixi Festival.
"You said something after dinner, you just went out of the palace to get this"
He may have just come back from outside the palace, at this time he nodded at me excitedly, his eyes were shining, he was still panting, the ups and downs of his chest were very obvious, and there were some slight beads of sweat on his forehead, but he looked very excited, like a young man who had just opened his love, just like the first time.
I finally knew why my master dared to enter the palace, it turned out that he dared to enter while he was not in the palace.
He can't leave the palace without reason during the day, otherwise the ministers will definitely have to talk about it again the next day, so he chooses to leave the palace at night.
He has so many subordinates that he can ask others to pick them up.
In fact, he knew that the fact that I could dine with my father and second wife today was already the best Qixi gift he gave me.
As soon as I thought of this, I smiled, threw myself into his arms, wrapped my arms around his waist very tightly, and said with great satisfaction: "I am very satisfied that you can ask my father to come to the palace to dine with me today." ”
"Mo'er, I always feel that you don't seem to be happy, I don't want you to lose your smile because of accompanying me, Mo'er, I know that I was wrong in the past, can you forgive me for the things I did before?"
"It's in vain that you're so smart, I'm not unhappy, it's just that the risk of you leaving the palace is too great, don't do it again in the future, it's not worth it for me."
"Mo'er, don't say this in the future, this step is brought by my mother from her hometown, I didn't just use the things in the palace to bluff you, my mother died and didn't leave anything for me, this is the only thing. Come on, I'll bring it for you, okay? ”
"Okay."
I sat down at the dresser, and he followed.
Saying that he was not moved was actually false, I could see the caution on his face through the bronze mirror, he didn't seem to know where to start, and played with my head for a long time before he carefully inserted the step shake into my hair, I don't have any decoration in my hair at the moment, only this one in the dark shining in the dark, this step shake seems to be inserted into my heart, and there is no day when I can pull it out.
I was a little nervous, I wanted to take this step shake down, touched the full pearls on this step, and said slowly: "Yuling, this is left to you by your mother, I, I"
He seemed to see my intentions, he pressed my moving hand down, lowered his head and buried it in my neck, his voice contained a lot of sadness, and said in a deep voice: "Mo'er, my things are all yours, if you don't want my things, you don't want me as a person, right?" ”
I'm anxious to hear him say this, it's a disease for him to be so suspicious and thoughtful, and he's still so tight on me, to be honest, while I bear this love, I also have to bear his suspicion all day long, and I have to spend my time guessing what he thinks, and in the long run, who can bear it.
These thoughts were just fleeting in my mind, I knew that I had no more choices, and I didn't dare to have a trace of hesitation, so I immediately held his hand tightly, and said warmly: "I didn't mean that, but I think this gift is too valuable, and the only thing your mother left you is this, and it's good for you to keep it as a thought." ”
But he seemed to be angry, his long-term patience seemed to be exhausted at this moment, his hand was still on my wrist, but the whole person had completely pressed me under him, and then I heard him say: "Nian Qianmo, you were the princess of this king, and now you are my queen, although this gift is valuable, now only you can afford it." Today's Qixi Festival, the beautiful meaning of pairs, but you still dare to excuse yourself, you tell me, you tell me this current majesty, what do you think? I'd like to listen, what are you thinking about in Changchun Palace all day long?"
I squeezed my hand tightly, what he said was serious, one by one, one by one, without treating myself as Long Yuling at all, I listened to his steady voice, my heart leaked half a beat, he was never in front of him, I hypocritically called myself to pull the corner of my lips, my arm gently hit his chest, and said with a chuckle: "Look at you, I got angry before I said two words, in the next few decades, if you bullied me like this, I might as well die early."
He didn't seem to take my words as a joke, I could feel that he was suddenly very serious, looking at me through the bronze mirror, and then he leaned over and kissed my earlobe, his voice was extremely calm, and the ups and downs in his chest also stabilized, but the waves in his chest seemed to be surging even more, he hooked the corners of his lips, and said slowly: "It's very cold inside the coffin, I will ask the Internal Affairs Office to make the coffin bigger, and I'll lie down with you, okay?" ”
The muffled words burst out of his thin lips, poured into my ears, and engraved in my mind, and I was so frightened that my heart skipped half a beat when I called the superficial meaning of the sentence, and the hand holding the comb shook violently, and the half-transparent milky white glass comb fell off the hard ground, and then broke into two after a crisp break.
"Mo'er, are you afraid? Are you afraid of death? ”
I stood up, away from him, but he put me against the dressing table, the big palm locked my hands very quickly, the locked hands hurt a little, but what made me tremble more was him, what he asked made me frightened, the only candle flame was clearly extinguished and reflected on his face, his whole person was in the shadows, making people look timid.
"Of course, it's human nature to be afraid of death." I swallowed uneasily and said very quickly.
He nodded, let go of my hand, and grabbed my shoulder, maybe my expression made him sad, he pressed his whole body again, and said, "I'm sorry, Mo'er, I just miss my mother too much, I scared you."
I shook my head, how dare I say that I was scared by him?
"Let's go, let's sleep, it's almost over, and you'll have to go to court early tomorrow."
He took me very rudely into the crook of his arm, but he sat on the edge of the bed silently, as if he was still calming down.
Then he stood up, took the step shaker from my hair, put it back on the dressing table, and picked it up again, I quietly watched him repeat this action three times, and then he turned around slowly, and the hand was still shaking the step, and there was a crisp sound in the air, like a hot spring dingdong, which was very good, but what frightened me more than this sound was his words
"Mo'er, in fact, when the mother concubine died, she didn't leave me anything, this was still pulled out of the hair of the mother concubine, the dead man's things must be unlucky in your eyes, you don't want to poop."
Immediately, he let go faster than me, no matter how fast I stretched out my hand, the hairpin of the step swayed between my fingers, I watched it fall on the hard ground like a comb, and there was a crisp cracking sound, it seemed that it was not only this luxurious step shake, but also his dragon jade spirit heart and the strength he had pretended to be for more than 20 years.
I squatted down as fast as I could, but the snow-white beads rolled down all over the ground, rolling happily all over the world, and in an instant I entered the darkest corners.
"Long Yuling, I didn't want it, why are you, why do you do it?"
I held the broken step shake in my hand, tears fell down, he was not happy, it seemed that he didn't care about anything, he indifferently shook off the step shake in my hand, and immediately grabbed my wrist, as if to pinch into my flesh, the tone was gloomy like the breath he exuded at the moment: "Mo'er, didn't you tell me a story in the palace before?" Will I give you back one tonight? ”
His tone was low, even cold, and I had a gut feeling that what he would say later would be the most terrifying and gloomy existence of his life.
I felt extremely scared at this moment, my body trembled slightly, he didn't give me any room to refuse, he took me into his arms, and then asked,
"But my story is a ghost story, Mo'er, are you afraid?"
I shook my head, tried to make my voice as natural as possible, touched the tears on my face, and said softly: "In your arms, I am not afraid of anything." It's been so hard for a long time, and the human heart is far more terrible than those empty things, you name it."
But my mind was still on the broken step shaker that fell under the scarred shaker, and I didn't listen carefully to what he said.
He nodded, as if thinking about how to speak, and only after a while did he speak, "Remember what I told you last time?" ”
I don't know what he was referring to, there were too many things he said in the backyard of the palace last time, I don't know which one he was talking about, and he nodded and said, "You said a lot at the time, which one are you referring to?" ”
His thumb rubbed my thin lips, and then I heard him say, "When my mother died, didn't I tell you that I knelt down and begged my father for three days and three nights?" ”
I pursed my thin lips and nodded.
"You know what? I fainted, and the doctors didn't examine me carefully, so the prince told his father that I was dead too. ”
His words were very slow, I could feel the sudden gloom of his body without looking at him, and his resentment, his palm on my shoulder trembled a little, his whole body trembled, I glanced at him, his eyes closed as if he was caught in a terrible memory.
I wanted to get up and hug him, but my action made him open his eyes suddenly, his eyes were full of murderous aura, and my heart flashed with turbulent waves, this dragon jade spirit just at that moment, wanted to kill me.
