On May 17, the seventh year of the Huang Dynasty, the Luoyang Palace was shrouded in a heavy shadow, and everyone in the palace waited with bated breath for everything that would follow.
The neighing of horses pierced the sky, a carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and a man and a woman came down from the carriage, the woman was masked with a light veil, and the guards stepped forward to stop the comers, but after seeing the face of the man in Tsing Yi clearly, he was no longer blocked, and let him enter the palace gate.
Wenchen military generals, concubines and relatives are kneeling outside the Jiafu Palace, yesterday His Majesty has announced the final edict, his son Cao Rong inherited the throne, now all you can do is wait. The concubines outside the palace hid their faces and wept, but the queen was as indifferent as usual and ordered her personal maid to get the decoction. Seeing this, the Queen Mother only shook her head with tears.
There was not much time left for them, and the man covered the woman and followed the maid into the kitchen. After knocking the maid unconscious, she changed into the maid's clothes, and now she has a different identity and cannot appear here. "You have to be careful, he won't last long." "I will."
She took off her veil, lowered her head and stepped into the gate of the Jiafu Hall with a decoction in front of everyone, the queen stretched out her hand to take the decoction from her, but the other party did not want to hand it to her, but raised her head to look at her: "I came to see him for the last time, can I see him?" ”
When the queen saw this face that was very similar to herself, she lowered her hand, and was about to kneel down to worship her, but she was stopped by her, "You are the queen, you don't have to be like this." I know what you're going to say, but it's my decision, and there's nothing to be thankful for, and if you have to thank you, then please stay at the temple gate and let me say a few words to him one last time. ”
When the queen heard this, she was still calm before, but her eyes were red at this time, her grace was only because she looked seven or eight points similar to the person in front of her, but no matter how well she did and how much she liked him, it was not as good as half of this person in his mind, and now he could see her before he died, which was no regret. The queen stayed at the gate of the palace and did not disturb this last side any longer.
Walked to his bed, put the decoction aside, the person on the bed was pale, his lips were blue, the once unruly young man had become like this, was he guilty of his own sin? She sighed, stretched out her hand to test her nose, she was still alive, but her breathing was weak, and she could leave this world, this world, at any time.
He suddenly grabbed her hand, "Ah Yan, don't go, don't leave me." "Is it a dream? Still thinking about her like this in your dreams? She nudged him gently, trying to wake him up. "Zihuan, get up and drink the medicine, the medicine is bitter, how can you get better if you don't drink it?" I remember how many years ago I called him Zihuan, and at that time he was just the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Time has passed, the vicissitudes of life, and everything should be put down.
He opened his eyes, Xu had just woken up from a dream, and he hadn't seen the person by the bed clearly. "Drink again...... Medicine...... Ahem! None of them...... Use! Queen, you ......"
She helped him to his feet, blew on the potion, and scooped it up to his mouth. "Drink slowly, don't choke." He struggled to get up, and now he saw her face clearly, it was those clear eyes, and there was a faint scar on her cheek, which was the person he missed in his heart.
Taking the first sip, she said, "Do you think I'm getting older?" He replied, "No...... Yes...... You're still the same in my heart as you used to be. ”
After taking a second sip, she said, "You know that I hate you, but in the end you are still obsessed. He replied: "Ah Yan, I just ...... Had a dream...... I...... Dream of marrying you, but ...... At last...... You're gone...... Ahem! Is it still a dream? ”
Taking a third sip, she said, "It's not a dream, it's real." Zijian came to me and persuaded me to come to Luoyang. He replied: "Zijian, he came to you...... Ahem......"
After taking the fourth sip, she said: "I didn't want to agree, I once said that we would never see each other again in this life, you did a lot of evil, usurped the throne and became the emperor, and even killed your own flesh and blood...... But Zijian said that he should not blame a person who was blinded by hatred because of a misunderstanding, his brother did not let go of his last kindness, and he had the adult beauty of a gentleman, and he told me everything. I remember that at that time, you finally let me and my husband go, and we were able to live in peace. Thinking of this, I feel that no amount of hatred should be dissolved. I have to admit that he is a perfect lobbyist, and I really can't find a reason to say no. He replied, "What a mess...... cough, you come to Luoyang, he ...... Don't block? Is he good to you? ”
After taking the fifth sip, she said, "No, my husband is very good to me." He asked me to convey it on my behalf, thanking you for what you have done. He replied, "It will not be perfected...... Ahem...... It doesn't matter, the important thing is that I just want to see you laugh, and the only person who can make you laugh like this is him. He reached out tremblingly, wanting to touch her face at the end, but this was only the last glance, and tears couldn't help but welled up, "This scar has become so light, but my damage to you can't be dull...... After all, I ......"
She put down the bowl and did not refuse him, and replied to him with a hoarse tone, "There is no eternal hatred, don't you also let go of your mother's affairs, and you have not killed their mother and son, not to mention that this is a complete misunderstanding in itself." It is the same between me and you, and I have come to see you today to tell you that I have forgiven all this. ”
She saw that he had a handkerchief wrapped around his hand, and she was quite calm, but she couldn't hide her sadness at this time, and tears fell on this handkerchief. "Zihuan, do you still have this?" He bowed his head and replied, "It's the only thing you've left me...... cough cough cough cough ......"
He coughed violently and suddenly, coughing up a large mouthful of blood. She tried to wipe his blood away, but he stopped her, "No need...... Ahem, this is destiny, I'm going to see my father and mother in the underworld, and the flesh and blood that I killed by mistake...... I'd love to hear my kids call me father, but I want to ...... Ahem, most of the time I can't hear ......"
"Zihuan, don't say it again, you will be fine after drinking this bowl of medicine. You still need to rule this country. ”
"Ahem...... Ah Yan, today is a day that I Cao Pi will never forget, because you said...... Ahem...... Forgive me. I'd love to ask you one last time, would you have chosen me without him? Ahem......"
"I ...... I ...... "She didn't think about it, his last question was about her, she wanted to deceive herself once, and she wanted to deceive him once before he died."
"Yes."
It's a pity that there will be no wait for people at the moment of life and death, he couldn't hear the last words, so he closed his eyes and passed away. Dying in the arms of the most loved one of his life, he was happiest at this moment, but this moment came too late.
When she saw the queen hugging Cao Pi and crying heartbreakingly, she laughed helplessly, Cao Pi's feelings should not have been placed on her, obviously the person who loves you the most is by your side, but in this world, who can say the word emotion? It's like when she first came to this troubled world, she always wanted to escape, but she just wanted to live the rest of her life here alone.
Outside Luoyang City, Cao Zhi wanted to send her back, but she politely refused. Before she got in the car, she glanced back at Cao Zhi, and wanted to speak but still didn't say it, she knew that the descendants had a lot of controversy about their two brothers, but whether it was Cao Pi or Cao Zhi, they all had a blood relationship that they couldn't get rid of, and it can be said that in some things, their attitudes are very similar, they are just the same.
Although the journey home was long and bumpy, when I thought that my husband and children were waiting for her to come home, what was the tiring journey? As long as the person you love the most is by your side, what difference does it make if you are in troubled times or peaceful times?
