Chapter 41: Farewell to Master and Servant

"You keep this letter in good order, and if neither my father nor I can live, then only you can deliver the letter to the Queen." The letter was written by Dong Lin herself, and every word and line came from her sincerity and heartfelt words. Of course, she will be sad and jealous, but she knows that His Majesty likes Fushou and is moved by her true feelings. She didn't know why the two of them became like this, but she didn't want Her Majesty to regret it, if she liked someone, she had to make the other person really happy, so she was willing to pave the way for the emperor, even if Her Majesty never had her in his heart.

Dongmei, who was kneeling on the ground, took the letter with trembling hands, it was as difficult to catch as a blazing flame, but she gritted her teeth and accepted it. "Dongmei doesn't understand, Your Majesty has always been by your side now, Your Majesty must have a noble person in her heart, so why should it be like this. The nobleman and the general ......" Dongmei's next words were interrupted by Dong Lin.

"His heart is not in me, no matter what he does, it will be in vain. Do you think I don't want a good end to that? Your Majesty and I, and many others, hope for a good outcome. But this battle is extraordinary, and if it is lost, the consequences are unimaginable. I'm going to prepare for the worst before I turn out. Dong Lin picked up Dongmei and patted her hands.

"Listen to the orders of your nobles, what should you do next?"

"From tomorrow, you are bedridden in the house, I have my own way to let you 'die' in the disease, no one will know that you are alive, I will arrange for you to leave the palace, after you go to Yingchuan after leaving the palace, someone will pick you up. Yingchuan is the best place to hide, and no one will guess that you are hiding in the land of Baume & Mercier. You must remember that whether I live or die, you can only sneak into the palace and deliver the letter to the queen in the summer of the following year. ”

"If the nobles are safe and sound, can the slaves and maids recognize each other?"

"Never, never recognize each other. After this is done, you can live well outside, and it is better to make a cloth dress than to grow old in the palace. ”

"The slave and maid will not be by the nobleman's side in the future, you must take good care of yourself, and the slave and maid can leave with peace of mind." Dongmei slowly fell to the ground, kowtowed heavily, and shed two lines of tears.

Dong Lin was also grateful to the palace people who had taken care of him for a long time. She didn't go to help Dongmei, but like Dongmei, she fell to the ground and kowtowed to thank her for taking care of her over the years.

"No, noble, you are the master and I am a slave, how can you give such a great gift to me, a slave." Dongmei wanted to help up the noble person in front of her, but was stopped by Dong Lin. "You have taken care of me for a long time, and I can afford it."

"It's a pity that the slave and maid can't see the appearance of the noble being pregnant with the emperor's heir, and the slave and maid still want to accompany the noble man to take care of the prince's growth." Dongmei's words made the two silent for a while, she realized that she had lost her words, and hurriedly replied: "The slave and maid have lost their words, I hope the nobles don't take it to heart." ”

"I don't blame you, I used to hope for that." It's just that his heart is not here, even if he is pregnant and gives birth to a prince, what can he do? "Go back, go back and rest, and everything after that will be in your hands."

"Dongmei will live up to the trust."

After Dongmei left, Dong Lin changed into bedclothes, and she lay on the bed to prepare for sleep. His Majesty stayed with her for nearly a month, during which His Majesty had never been to the Jiaofang Palace, and the meals were all with her, and he never mentioned the queen's affairs. Dongmei and the other palace attendants were very happy, thinking that it was the nobles who had regained their favor, but only she knew the truth. These are all the days she stole from Fu Shou, Your Majesty and Fu Shou have a heart knot that is difficult to open, once it is opened, she Dong Lin really has no chance. During this period of time, His Majesty suffered a lot because the 'time' was approaching, and his heart was knotted. She Dong Lin was also tortured because of her personal relationship, but after thinking about it for a long time, she decided to write a letter, which may be able to open the knot between the emperor and queen in the future. She is not a sage person, but she still made such a decision silently, and it is better to let her suffer than for Her Majesty to suffer.

"Lin'er, come and have a drink with me." Liu Xie, who was drunk, came to Dong Lin's bedside and pulled her up. Dong Lin gently pushed Liu Xie's hand away, "Your Majesty, you are drunk." The concubine body makes people cook sobering soup. She had never seen His Majesty lose his temper like this, and she was already unbearable, so she finally couldn't control it and shed tears. Her Majesty's suffering, she can't share her worries, and she can't make Your Majesty happy.

Liu Xie pulled her into his arms and dropped a kiss on her forehead. "Are you going to leave me too? Ah Yan, why are you crying. Dong Lin was stunned, is it Fushou's small character? She endured her crying and took off her coat for His Majesty. "Ah Yan will never leave His Majesty for the rest of his life."

"What is your majesty's name, your name is Bohe."

"Okay, Bohe."

Mo Yan didn't know that Liu Xie mistook Dong Lin for her after he was drunk, and Liu Xie didn't know that the person he thought about when he was drunk was still Mo Yan...... When will this knot be opened?

Jiaofang Palace

The sound of the piano in the room is sometimes bright and melodious, sometimes hazy and tactful. Mo Yan plucked the strings and played "Mountains and Flowing Water", she was able to play this song in its entirety, but this piano technique naturally could not be compared with Liu Xie. At the end of the song, she gently stroked the strings with her fingertips, and two crystal teardrops fell on the strings. In the past, Boya broke the piano due to the death of her confidant, why did she touch the piano and cry today, is it for what she did that day, or for ...... She should be clear. She sighed and secretly wiped away the tears, "It's really unlucky." ”

"Your Highness, how long has it been, Your Majesty has not been to the Jiaofang Hall for nearly a month. Although His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he has the final say on how many harems there are, but how can he even ask his own queen, not to mention that His Royal Highness has only been married to His Majesty for a few months, he ...... "Spring Yi paced back and forth in the palace, and the intermittent sound of the piano aggravated her dissatisfaction, she was upset for His Highness, and after the sound of the piano ended, she said this behind His Highness, but she didn't know what His Highness's expression was.

"Spring! You swallow these words back for me, fortunately this is my Jiaofang Palace, otherwise you will not be able to escape the fear of your life. Mo Yan deliberately raised his voice, not to scold her, but to hide the emotions just now.

"Chun Yi knows that he is wrong, he just wants to speak out for His Highness! Besides, isn't Your Highness also thinking about Your Majesty? It's better to let spring ......"

"I don't, he can find whoever he likes, what does it have to do with me." Mo Yan put the piano away, covered it with brocade cloth, and responded indifferently. "I'm sleepy, you can step back in the spring."

"Your Highness!" Chunyi wanted to say something, but when she saw that Yu Niang had made a gesture to her after entering the house, she didn't say anything more. The spring salute retreated, and Yu Niang closed the door of the house, and there were only the two of them in the house at this time.

Yu Niang stepped forward to change Mo Yan's clothes, took off her clothes and Mo Yan, who was "wrapped in cloth", her pregnant body was particularly obvious, this was already the sixth month of Mo Yan's pregnancy, and in order to cover her bulging abdomen, she had to wrap it with strips of cloth. After untying the strip of cloth, Mo Yan breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his abdomen, feeling like it was a little bigger again.

"Your Royal Highness, Yu Niang made a few clothes, I don't know if it's a little prince or a little princess, so I made a few more. The hand is too clumsy, and I hope His Highness will not dislike it. ”

Mo Yan took the little clothes in Yu Niang's hand, the thread was neat and the embroidery was exquisite, if it weren't for skillful hands, how could he make such a beautiful clothes. She was holding her clothes, and she couldn't rejoice in this gift, so how could she dislike it. With sharp eyes, she immediately found the scars on Yu Niang's fingers, grabbed her hands, felt distressed and moved, and gently blew the wounds on her fingers. "Yu Niang, does it hurt? Don't do that next time. ”

"It is my honor to be able to make clothes for His Royal Highness and His Majesty's prince, every stitch and thread is the blessing of the Jade Niang, for Your Majesty, for Your Highness, and for the unborn prince. These injuries are just small scars that will heal soon. But there are some injuries, I'm afraid it will be good or not. Your Highness should think twice. ”

"But there are some injuries, I'm afraid it's good or not, Your Highness has to think twice." Yu Niang's last words lingered in her ears for a long time, and by the time she reacted, Yu Niang had already left the house, leaving her with her clothes.

The crossing that shouldn't happen, the fact that you shouldn't enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, the children you shouldn't have, the palace that you shouldn't have, the feelings that you shouldn't have...... She would not regret what she had done that day, and in a few months she would be able to leave the palace and find a way back. She put the clothes made by Yu Niang next to her pillow and whispered, "Why do you feel sad and heartache?" What is the difference between himself who did this and Guo Xiaojia and Cao Pi at that time? But I won't regret it. ”

I don't know when, her unforgettable first love has gradually faded away before she knew it. But Liu Xie and her, did they end up without a problem or did they have a bright future?
