Chapter Forty-Three: The Flowers of the Golden Garden Bloom Again
"Come on, go and find, quickly enter and find, you must find them."
"Your Highness, just go in and look for your subordinates, you can't go in and get into danger!"
"Your Highness."
After the fire was extinguished, Fukong immediately ordered people to find the bodies of Bai Yimeng and Fuyun, and he didn't care about the heat and smoke, and stepped into the burning ruins to look for them.
Probably because the fire was too big, I searched for a long time, but I didn't find anything related to Fuyun, even a bone.
The fire burned for a long time, alarming the Kyoto guards and the palace.
When the emperor heard the guards report that it was a fire in the Golden Garden, he couldn't help but be a little worried, but he still waited patiently.
Until the appearance of Fukong, he completely shattered his last glimmer of hope, swept the folds, inkstones and other objects on the desk to the ground, and said sharply: "How dare he? The second prince of the dignified Night Kingdom dared to commit suicide and martyrdom for the sake of a woman, regardless of his own life? How dare he? ”
"His life was given by me, whether he wants to die or live is only I have the final say, without my permission, how can he dare to die? How dare he? The Emperor continued to be furious.
Fukong stood below, looking at the emperor calmly, without saying a word.
"Is he weird? I am declaring to the whole world: Am I wrong? Did I force my own son to death? ”
"Why would he do that? How dare he do that? How dare he? What are the consequences of disobeying the royal decree, does he not know? Why? Why on earth did he do it? ”
Fukong listened to his father's angry scolding, and closed his eyes in pain.
When the queen heard this, she rolled her eyes and fainted, and when she woke up again, she cried out in grief, and instantly seemed to be a teenager old, and her spirit was not as good as before, and there were a few more gray hairs on her sideburns.
The Second Prince's Mansion
Liu Wangqiu was sitting on the couch embroidering the sachet, and the nurse ran in, knelt down in front of Liu Wangqiu, and said, "Miss, Second Highness, he ..... He's dead! ”
Liu Wangqiu's hand that was embroidering the sachet paused and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"His Royal Highness is dead."
Liu Wangqiu turned his head and continued to embroider the sachet, and said, "Nurse, how can you say that about Your Highness!" ”
"It's true, the fire in Jinyuan, the Dream Garden is burned down, His Royal Highness is gone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was already late when he arrived at Jinyuan, even the bones were burned, and the whole capital knew about it."
"How could the Golden Garden catch fire? How could His Highness die? ”
"It's that woman, it's all because of that woman, that woman doesn't know what crazy she had, she actually committed suicide by drinking poison yesterday, this morning His Royal Highness the prince went to the Golden Garden, and it didn't take long to leave, when the prince went to the Golden Garden again, the Golden Garden caught fire, this matter is true, the slave didn't dare to lie."
After Liu Wangqiu heard that Bai Yimeng committed suicide, he understood, his face turned pale in an instant, and he was stunned, and said by the nurse.
It wasn't until the nurse finished speaking for a while that she said calmly: "So, His Royal Highness also committed suicide and martyrdom?" ”
"Miss....." Liu Yan'er and the nurse looked at Liu Wangqiu, who was expressionless.
Liu Wangqiu smiled and said, "Suicide martyrdom? What about me? What am I? ”
As he spoke, he stood up, looked at the nurse and Liu Yan'er and said, "Bai Yimeng is dead, and His Royal Highness will commit suicide?" Then what am I, the second princess? What am I? How could he be so ruthless. ”
As he spoke, he swept everything around him to the ground, and continued: "He wants me to be a good second princess, and I will be a qualified second princess; What he said would give me decency, I waited, I loved him so much, I waited for him, looked forward to the moment he could look back at me; If he wants to marry me, I will marry him; If he wants to marry a side concubine, then marry, if he doesn't want to go back to this mansion, he won't go back; But why? Why did the woman die when he died? Why is he so ruthless and ruthless. ”
Liu Yan'er and the nurse had never seen Liu Wangqiu like this, Liu Wangqiu's whole person had slowly become crazy, and the two of them reached out to pull her in distress, wanting to persuade her: "Miss...."
Before they could speak, Liu Wangqiu shook off their hands, staggered a few steps, looked in the direction of Jin Yuan and continued: "Fu Yun, since you don't like me and don't love me, then why did you marry me in the first place, just because I was noble and soft-natured?" Now that the woman is dead, you haven't even thought about me, and you're dead? If you don't even come to see me for the last time, and you don't want to bring me a word, you're going to die like that? Am I that annoying to you? ”
"When you live, take a concubine before you take a wife, and take me as a stepping stone for you to marry that woman, and pull me out when you need me, and throw me aside when you don't need me; And now that you're dead, dying for that woman's martyrdom, I've become the joke of the entire Night Kingdom? Is this what you call 'give me decency'? You are a husband and wife with deep affection and deep friendship, but what about me? What am I? Is it a plaything that comes and goes when it is called? ”
Liu Wangqiu had burst into tears unconsciously, covering his heart in pain with one hand.
"Ahh
At the end, Liu Wangqiu screamed as if he couldn't stand it.
vented his emotions, squatted down with his head in his hands, and whispered, "Since you don't like me, why do you want to marry me?" Why give me hope? Why should I fall in love with you? How could I fall in love with you? Why don't you want to come and see me, even if you write me a few words? It's the same woman of yours, why are you so affectionate to her, but so ruthless to me? I never wanted to monopolize you, as long as you are willing to give me a smile, even a look, I can be happy for a long time, but why? What exactly am I doing wrong? ”
The nurse was too distressed to see Liu Wangqiu like this, and stepped forward to hug Liu Wangqiu and comforted: "It's not your fault, you're not wrong, it's them who are at fault, Miss, don't be like this, you old slave like you are distressed." ”
Liu Wangqiu sat on the ground, leaning on the nurse's arms and crying silently.
Liu Wangqiu was tired of crying, her eyes were red and swollen, and her makeup was messy, but she still couldn't hide her beauty, but at this time, it was even more distressing.
Liu Wangqiu's eyes were blank, and he said softly: "Nurse, you go out first!" I'm tired and I want to rest. ”
"Miss ....."
Liu Wangqiu didn't wait for the nurse and Liu Yan'er to finish speaking, so he got up and walked to the bed, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and said, "It's okay, I'll rest by myself, I won't call you, don't come in and disturb me." ”
Seeing that Liu Wangqiu closed her eyes and didn't want to say any more, Liu Yan'er and the nurse responded: "Yes, the slave maid went to make some porridge for the young lady, and the young lady was going to be hungry, so she called the slave maid." ”
Liu Wangqiu didn't speak.
Seeing that Liu Wangqiu didn't speak, the two retreated and gently closed the door.
It was dark, and Liu Yan'er hadn't heard Liu Wangqiu call her.
She had been asleep for three or four hours, and Liu Yan'er had long wanted to go in to wake her up, but she didn't call her because she thought that Miss was not allowed to disturb her before she rested.
But now that dinner time has passed, Liu Wangqiu hasn't gotten up yet, Liu Yan'er hesitated for a moment, but still risked being scolded and went in to call her.
Liu Yan'er pushed open the door, it was pitch black inside, walked to the candlestick, lit a few lamps, picked up one of them and walked to the bedside, shouting as she walked: "Miss, it's time to start.... Yes! ”
Before Liu Yan'er finished speaking, she saw a pool of blood on the ground, then her wrist stretched out outside the edge of the bed, and then Liu Wangqiu, who was wearing a wedding dress, was lying peacefully on the bed with her eyes closed, her face was bloodless, and she suddenly screamed in fright, and the candle in her hand also fell to the ground.
The nurse heard Liu Yan'er's scream, and hurriedly walked in and asked, "What's wrong?" What is it called.... Yes! ”
Before the nurse came over and asked, she saw the blood in that place and the dead Liu Wangqiu, and she screamed in fright.
But he quickly reacted, walked forward, threw himself on the side of the bed, and shouted bitterly: "Miss, why are you so stupid and can't think about it!" It's not worth it, it's not worth it. ”
While crying, he touched Liu Wangqiu, hoping that Liu Wangqiu was still alive and at least could be saved, but they were still disappointed, Liu Wangqiu's body was already cold, and the blood on the wrist that was cut was also coagulated.
It turned out that when Liu Yan'er and the nurse walked out and closed the door before, Liu Wangqiu opened her eyes and stared at the top of the bed in a daze.
Lying on the bed for a long time, Liu Wangqiu got up and washed up, turned out the wedding clothes when he got married, changed them, painted his makeup, and put on jewelry, Liu Wangqiu looked at his beautiful self in the bronze mirror, smiled, got up and walked back to the bed, lay on the bed, sorted out his clothes, and cut his wrist with a golden hairpin.
The wrist was cut deeply, and blood flowed.
Liu Wangqiu put her bleeding wrist on the edge of the bed, as if she didn't feel pain, she turned her head to look at the blood flowing from her wrist, smiled, and said softly: "Fuyun, if I do it again, I will definitely not marry you; If there is an afterlife, I don't want to meet you again. ”
Then he closed his eyes and calmly waited for death to come.
The burned dream garden in the golden garden was not rebuilt and repaired, but the life of the plant was very tenacious, and after the cold winter, the arrival of spring, the golden garden was full of spring and flowers, and the peach blossoms bloomed especially well, and the burned dream garden was hidden in it.
"Your Highness, Madam, Little Prince, the slave and the green eyebrows have come to see you."
"Ma'am, are you all right over there? Is there anyone to take care of you? ”
"Little boy, do you still not like to talk like that? I don't know how tall you are now. ”
"Your family should be very happy! Without slaves and green silk by your side, you have to take care of yourself! ”
"Madam, this spring has come a little late, and the peach blossoms in the garden are only blooming now! This year's peach blossoms are blooming exceptionally well, look at it, do you still like it? ”
"The slave maid made some food today, and there are peach blossom soup and peach blossom cake that you like to eat on weekdays, if you still like it, you can taste it."
In the burned dream garden, there were two women dressed in light blue clothes, one holding a freshly picked peach blossom branch in his hand, and the other took out the same food from the food box.
The peach blossoms in late spring, the lotus flowers in midsummer, the golden chrysanthemum osmanthus in autumn, and the plum blossoms in winter in the golden garden all seem to tell the stories that happened inside.
Whenever the flowers are in full bloom, the green silk and green eyebrows will pick the most beautiful flower branches and put them on the ruins of the dream garden.
And they will always be here to guard their highness and wife.
And, of course, the little boy.
