Chapter 1: Forced Birth

The willows are thick, lingering in a thousand ways, and this time the feelings are depressed.

The night is approaching, the lights are bright, and the flowers are dancing in the wind.

It was as if I had a dream, and in the dream I returned to the General's Mansion again. The bleak scene, the lonely me, is it destined to not have a peaceful and stable life for the rest of my life?

That year, I recognized Liuyun in the General's Mansion, maybe it was a mistake.

I shouldn't have had a loving affection for him, and now I wouldn't be so miserable.

That year, if I hadn't stopped that arrow for him, maybe we would all have died that night!

Regret not being at the beginning, really regretting not being at the beginning.

In the haze, there was a figure that kept swaying beside me.

Sometimes he got up and paced back and forth, and sometimes he sighed.

"Zhen Luo... Zhen Luo..."I felt a shallow call from a far away, but it was calling my name.

Does this count, has already stepped into heaven.

The voice in my ears became clearer and clearer, and everything around me was so real, yet illusory.

"Zhen Luo... Zhen Luo... Be sure to wake up... Don't leave me...", as if grabbing me, so that my thoughts no longer go far, but closer and closer, "if... You're really going to punish me with your death... Then I'd rather ... Turning your back on the world for you... As long as you can live... I can put anything down..."

Tears welled up in his closed eyes, sliding down the corners of his eyes. And this voice, I finally heard who it was.

Liuyun, why is it always when I am already desperate, the kindness to me has returned to the past.

Why do you always force me to have no way out, only to turn around and pull me?

In the end, I owe you in my last life, or is this life destined to be planted in your hands.

I opened my eyes with all my might, and what came into my eyes became clearer.

"Wake up, Doctor Tai, she's awake...", all kinds of excited voices lingered in my ears.

The imperial doctor immediately stepped forward to check my pulse, and the heavy smoke on his face gradually dissipated, and finally showed a smile, "Your Majesty, great, Concubine Chen's mother has turned the corner, and she can recover with a little recuperation!" ”

His nervousness disappeared in an instant, and a happy smile appeared on his face, but none of this could hide his red eyes, and he was so tired that he felt as if he hadn't slept for a long time, and he faintly felt sorry for me.

Holding my hand tightly, he said softly: "Zhen Luo... I promise you that I will not force you to do anything again. As long as you live well, I will never force you to make any choice, forgive me! ”

He said this with great affection, but am I still willing to forgive him? Will you still believe what he says?

The look in his eyes at this time made me lose myself a little. I just looked at him, but there was no word to answer him, and he suddenly reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes, and I realized that my tears had not stopped.

Why is it a luxury for me to even die?

Something suddenly remembered in my mind, my eyes sank, and I asked him with all my might, "How long have I been sleeping?" ”

"You've been asleep for half a month, do you know? When I heard that something had happened to you, I almost executed all the guards and maids of Guan Ju Palace, because they didn't take good care of them! He said to me with a serious face.

"Where's Xiyun? What about Xiyun? "I ignored what he said, only remembering that I had been asleep for half a month, and that the day after I chose to die was the time of the execution of Xiyun.

Now, I just want to know, Xiyun, is she still alive? If she died, how could I forgive myself, how could I forgive.

Looking at my manic look and restless eyes, Liuyun hurriedly spoke: "Don't worry, Xiyun is fine!" Because of what happened to you, I stayed here for half a month, and I didn't go to court. The ministers didn't dare to come to Guan Ju Palace to urge, so Xiyun is still alive now. ”

"Flowing clouds—" I murmured, tears welling up again.

"I know, what you're trying to say! You asked Caidie to hand me the content of this letter, and I have written every word and sentence here. He pressed his chest and spoke very gently.

"Let me die!" I suddenly spoke, and a shadow immediately cast over Liuyun's face, "What did you say?" ”

I closed my eyes, I knew too well the importance of this matter, and no matter how I dealt with it, one person would surely die. If you want to put this matter to rest, Yulan, Xiyun, and me are definitely going to die.

I chose to die half a month ago, just to make everyone think that I committed suicide in fear of sin. In this way, you can save Yulan and Xiyun.

"For your sake, I'd rather get away with the crown prince's murderer. For you, even if I bear the infamy of the world, I will not complain! He got up from my bedside, his voice low but firm.

With that, he turned around and walked out of the hall.

I propped up my weak body and called out urgently, "Liuyun..."

His steps stopped, but he didn't turn back.

"You are the emperor, how can you abandon the feelings of the court and the world. If I really wanted you to carry the world, then I would have let you do it a long time ago. Liuyun, over the years, you have successfully created a good emperor who is loved by all the people. Don't leave everything behind for the sake of one me. Because, you are the emperor! I shouted to him in a hoarse voice, even though it was very weak.

His body began to tremble slightly, and he turned around suddenly, rushed to me and hugged me tightly, "Zhen Luo, but, I really can't make you sad again." I can't accept losing you! ”

"Liuyun, as long as I die, everything can be solved. Although Yulan has made a terrible mistake against you, she is kind by nature. She can be corrected slowly, and she will still be Yulan who once first entered the palace. And Xiyun, loyally stay by your and my side, hard work, we can't, let her leave with such a crime. In this way, I will never live in peace, and you will live with self-reproach. Whether it's Yulan or Xiyun, they're all my good sisters, they're both..."The voice finally choked, and I couldn't continue to speak.

Liuyun kept hugging me, and his eyes were clouded with a layer of moisture, "But, you're dead, what reason do I have to live." Without you and me watching the world, how can I govern a country well. ”

I buried myself in his arms, crying silently. Liuyun, no matter what, I still can't forget you. I still can't do it, and I'm ruthless to you.

None of us are wrong, what is wrong is to love each other too much. Because there is love, there will be hate!

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, you don't have to be so sad about this matter." Xiyun suddenly appeared in the temple, she hadn't seen her for half a month, and she was much haggard.

Looking at my surprise and surprise, Liuyun hurriedly said: "She has been worried about your safety, so when I saw that you were about to wake up today, I ordered the guards to bring her into the palace to see you!" ”

I squeezed out a smile that couldn't be called a laugh at her, how could I laugh when I was depressed. Xiyun smiled back at me and ran over.

"You talk, I'll wait outside the palace!" Liuyun said softly and walked out of the main hall.

I looked at Xiyun and reached out to touch her face, "These days, you have suffered!" ”

She also reached out to cover my hand, shook her head, but shook her tears, "No, for you and the emperor, no amount of suffering is not bitter." ”

I was so sad that I bent down and pressed my chest tightly, and it really hurt there!

"Song Liu, I feel very lucky to have a sister like you in my life. You and the emperor are the people Xiyun cares about the most in his life. I can't bear to see your side hurt. You and the emperor love each other so much, but they torture each other, Xiyun is so heartbroken! The sadness in her voice is not something I can understand.

"In the emperor's heart, from beginning to end, you are the only one." She gently held one of my hands, "If you want to say that he uses and hurts you, you can only complain, he was born in the royal family." The emperor's house really has too much helplessness, too much loneliness and betrayal. Because, the people in the palace can smile at you today, and tomorrow will let you die without a place to be buried, people's hearts are sinister, how much can the emperor see? ”

After a pause, she suddenly smiled, "So, you must stand beside the emperor to help him and assist him!" ”

"From a young general to the king of Dingyang, he is on the throne. The emperor's journey was actually very difficult. It's just that he always buries all his suffering in his heart! Her tone began to be low, "Song Liu, you and the emperor will always be the masters of Xiyun." will always be the person Xiyun wants to protect the most in this life. ”

I couldn't cry anymore, Xiyun's voice paused for a moment again, and then said eloquently: "Those things in the emperor's heart, one day, will be confessed to you one by one." Song Liu, don't despair of the emperor. Take good care of the emperor for me. ”

I suddenly looked up at her, her words had a bit of a parting taste, and my heart suddenly became uneasy, I held her hands instead, cold and cold, "Xiyun, what do you mean by this?" Over the years, the emperor has long been accustomed to your service, and I can't take care of these things. ”

She chuckled a few times, then looked up at me again, "I'm afraid, the palace maids of Zhaoren Hall are not serving well, you think too much." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her angrily, "You girl, you always make my heart beat like this!" ”

She burst out laughing, "It's obvious that you're thinking too much about yourself!" ”

At that moment, it was as if we had forgotten about the unhappy things and were more like a heartfelt and cheerful conversation.

"It's time for me to go back, I'm relieved to see you're okay. Song Liu, don't worry, the emperor will definitely come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, don't worry about me! She stood up and smiled a little flutteringly.

Say not worried, that's all a lie. But I didn't want her to see her worries and go against my heart to bow down to her.

She leaned down again and made a serious face, "In the future, don't do these stupid things, otherwise Xiyun won't make you feel better even if he is a ghost." ”

I was stunned and nodded stupidly. Her expression relaxed, and she smiled again.

She slowly straightened up, kept looking at me, and took a few steps back before turning around, "Xiyun! I suddenly stopped her.

After a pause, she turned around, her eyes as clear as blue waves, and a faint smile. Instantly, it warmed my heart.

I never expected that it would be the last time I would see Xiyun in this life.

That smile was also the last smile she left me in this life.
