3 Chapter 3

Fu Yunwan held Xie Zhan's hand and lay motionless on the edge of the couch.

The Imperial Medical Bureau came, dozens of people up and down, from the doctor to the medicine boy, Huan Xuan was angry, scolding them for being late, that look was very scary, but she was not afraid now.

All her loves, hatreds, sorrows and joys died together with Xie Zhan's death.

"Get out!" Huan Xuan let out a low snort, dozens of people exited the inner room in embarrassment, the night wind was surging in, it was very cold, but the heart was like hot oil.

What's the use of scolding them, the moment he saw Xie Zhan, he knew that he couldn't be saved. He had seen too many dying people on the battlefield, and he knew what that kind of face meant, even if the Imperial Medical Bureau came at that time, he couldn't save it, but he had to do something and get busy to temporarily suppress this heart-wrenching pain.

It's too fast, from being sick to now in less than ten days, the person is gone, although Xie Zhan is not as strong as him, but it is not so fast. Huan Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Who is serving the decoction these days?" ”

"Liu Zhi and I," Xun Yuan came over wiping her tears, "and Fu Nu." ”

The entangled lips and tongue on the sickbed flashed in front of him for a moment, and Huan Xuan paused.

He didn't expect that timid woman to dare to do that, and he didn't expect Xie Zhan to do the same. Before this, he had never associated Xie Zhan with these events of the wind and moon, the surname Xie Zhan Zi Tanna, Zhan Tanna, Sanskrit sandalwood, the holy incense of Buddhism, even his milk name is Buddha slave, he has always been as gentle and restrained as a Buddha, his feelings are more Buddha-like compassion, rather than the man who is emotional, coughing up blood, and forgetting to kiss people on the sickbed.

That woman made him change so much. Is it worth it? Huan Xuan's eyes were heavy, looking at Fu Yunwan, would she be like Xie Zhan was to her, could she even want her life?

"General," Xun Yuan couldn't get an answer, and asked hesitantly, "Is there a problem?" ”

Xun Yuan, Xie Zhan's nursing mother, from Yanzhou to Yejing, has served Xie Zhan loyally for decades, Liu Zhi, Xun Yuan's son, Xie Zhan's first effective henchman. Even if Xie Zhan's death was strange, it couldn't be them. "Tell me 1510 about these days."

The tears that Xun Yuan had just wiped away welled up again, and she glanced at Fu Yunwan: "Go next door and say." ”

Next door was the hall, which was uncomfortably clean without the smell of medicine, fragrance and bloody smell of the inner room. Xun Yuan lowered her head and sobbed: "It's all Fu Girl!" She somehow let the emperor see it, and wanted to summon her into the palace, but Lang Jun refused to stop her, so the emperor ordered Lang Jun to enter the palace and punished him for kneeling naked for a day and a night, and when he came back, he fell ill. ”

Huan Xuan clenched his fists. Just like the news he heard, Emperor Yuanlu, the famous tyrannical emperor, set his sights on Fu Yunwan. But he didn't know that he was kneeling naked. Clenched his fists tightly, so hard that his joints turned white. That's Xie Zhan, how can such a noble character like a Buddha bear such a great shame? What's more, his health is not very good, the frost has passed, the north is cold, he knelt for a whole day and a night, how can he stand it?

"Lang Jun is afraid that Fu Nu will blame herself if she knows, so we are not allowed to tell her." Xun Yuan couldn't cry, "When Fang Cai Langjun called me in, he specially told me not to resent her, but how can I not be resentful?" How much trouble has Lang Jun suffered over the years because of her? Now that even my life is gone, I, I'm really not worth it for Lang Jun! ”

"Don't blame her." Huan Xuan's voice was astringent, "It's the emperor." ”

Can't blame her. Even if it is not worth it for Xie Zhan in his heart, reason tells him that he can't blame Fu Yunwan. It was not her fault that she was targeted by Yuan Lu, and now the Xie family has a grudge against her, if even he is like this, how can she live. "Don't embarrass her."

"But Lang Jun, did Lang Jun die in vain?" Xun Yuan suppressed her crying.

"No, it won't." Huan Xuan looked out the window, the night was thick, "I will ask for it." ”

Xun Yuan looked up in surprise: "Abandon you, you ......"

Huan Xuan glanced at her, Xun Yuan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

Huan Xuan didn't speak again. Emperor, Yuan Yuan. Killing his brother and ascending the throne, absurdity and tyranny, as long as those beautiful women in Beijing are targeted by him, whether they are powerful or commoners, married or unmarried, they will take away their lustful pleasure, and many of them are even tortured to death, Fu Yunwan was born like that, and it is not strange to be targeted by him, but if he kills Xie Zhan, it will not work.

"General," Liu Zhi knocked on the door and asked, "Do you want to do the funeral?" ”

Funeral. It wasn't until I heard these two words that I had to admit that Xie Zhan was no longer there. has been with each other for more than ten years, and he risked his life to protect the well-thought-out person, and he is gone. Something warm slowly fell, and Huan Xuan closed his eyes: "Let's do it." ”

In order to settle down, he should also arrange his last journey.

"Fu Niangzi guarded tightly and refused to let go, and she couldn't wipe Lang Jun into the funeral." Liu Zhi followed behind him and said in a hoarse voice.

Huan Xuan saw Fu Yunwan, she was still holding Xie Zhan's hand tightly as he did when he left, and Huan Xuan approached: "It's time to wipe Tan Na's body into the funeral." ”

No one responded, Fu Yunwan lay silently on the edge of the couch, as silent as death.

Huan Xuan saw the blood stains on Xie Zhan's face, which had dried up, and the dark red under the candle flame. This can't be done, Xie Zhan has always loved cleanliness the most, he can't let him walk so embarrassed. Take a step forward: "Tanna loves cleanliness the most. ”

The clay puppet-like man finally moved, and looked back at him.

There were no tears in the red and swollen eyes, and the red lips that had just kissed closely with Xie Zhan became miserable white at this time, and the center of the lips was a little dark red, which was Xie Zhan's blood. Huan Xuan paused: "Fu Niangzi." ”

Fu Yunwan stood up silently.

He was right, Xie Zhan loves cleanliness the most, it must be very uncomfortable to lie on the ground covered in blood like this, her clothes are wrinkled, her hair is messy, she is so confused, she let him lie like this for so long.

The cloth towel was dipped in warm water and wrung out, and he lay on the side of the couch to wipe the blood on Xie Zhan's face little by little. When his fingers touched his skin, it was still warm and soft, as if he wasn't dead. There was a fishy sweet taste in my throat, I wiped my cheeks, I wiped my hands that had interlocked my fingers and shook them countless times, and all the things worth remembering in this world were gone, and she was left alone.

She still kept, what to do.

Huan Xuan was also wiping, and the lying person looked peaceful, as if he was just asleep, as if he would open his eyes the next moment, and smile and call him to abandon his slave.

The nerves that had been tense suddenly snapped, snapped, and Huan Xuan threw out the cloth towel heavily, knocking over the basin.

The subordinates were startled and came over to clean up in a panic, but Fu Yunwan still maintained his original posture and never looked at it.

But just now, she was obviously very timid, and she was so scared that she hid when he looked at her more.

Huan Xuan felt strange, took the clean cloth towel handed over by the guard, and squatted down on the edge of the couch again.

Holding Xie Zhan's hand and wiping it carefully, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Fu Yunwan wiping Xie Zhan's head and face, and pulling his hair back in a bun, she never said a word, pale and silent like a ghost, only the blood on her lips was dazzlingly red.

Huan Xuan stopped moving: "Fu Niangzi." ”

Fu Yunwan looked up, Huan Xuan looked at her, and pointed to his lips.

Fu Yunwan didn't understand, followed the direction he pointed, and watched silently.

"Your mouth," Huan Xuan paused, "there's blood." ”

The blood was Xie Zhan's, their first and last kiss, the mark he left on her. As if his throat was choked, Fu Yunwan breathed hard and wiped it.

Didn't wipe it clean, there were still a few points left on her lips, Huan Xuan wanted to remind her, she had already turned her head and started to change Xie Zhan's clothes, the candlelight reflected the sinuous side face, and the dry lips cracked a trace of lines.

But he remembered it clearly, and when he peeked through the curtain that their lips were soft and moist.

At dawn, the first group of mourners came, and there was a steady stream of people coming throughout the day, all of whom were southerners in Yejing City, Xie Zhan had always been regarded as a leader by them, and now the leader has passed away, the dragons have no leader, and the voice of crying is extremely desolate.

Huan Xuanshou performed the duties of his family in front of the spirit, and the people of the south were not enthusiastic about him in the past, at this time, maybe it was the new funeral, or maybe it was for the sake of him who rushed back thousands of miles from the dust, and his attitude towards him was a lot warmer, and he stepped forward one by one to comfort and greet him.

But few people comforted Fu Yunwan, she knelt alone behind the spiritual bed, wrapped her slender body in a rough chopping suit, and silently threw the paper money into the basin and burned it.

Huan Xuan knows why, she, like him, is a mongrel of the northerners, and those southerners who pay attention to the prestige of the clan cannot look down on her.

Because of this, the little blood on her lips was not reminded until it was dark.

Huan Xuan called Xun Yuan: "Tell her, there is still blood on her mouth." ”

"You care about her!" Xun Yuan cried, sad and angry, "She never cried from beginning to end!" ”

Huan Xuan was stunned, and suddenly remembered that she had indeed never heard Fu Yunwan cry all day, but when Xie Zhan was dying last night, she was obviously crying so sadly.

turned around, saw Fu Yunwan's silent face, she kept sending paper money into the basin, and the ashes that floated up fell all over her body, and she didn't see her clean up. Huan Xuan instinctively vigilant: "You take her to the back to freshen up, and be careful not to let her be alone." ”

Xun Yuan endured her anger and took people away, it was dark, and the white lanterns were white everywhere, Huan Xuan looked at Fu Yunwan's back and wrinkled his eyebrows.

This is not right. Life in troubled times is like grass, he has seen too many deaths, sometimes the living can't stand it, and they will follow, but can she be so infatuated with Xie Zhan? Huan Xuan couldn't say it, but he promised Xie Zhan to take good care of her.

Stroking the cold spiritual position, Buddha slave, since you want her to live well, then no matter what, I will not let her have an accident.

"General," Liu Zhi came over, "Lang Jun sorted out a lot of manuscripts before, and asked the villain to hand them over to the general." ”

The study is in the backyard, and the shelves are full of notes and codex left by Xie Zhan, as well as a stack of letters written to Jiangdong's hometown, which are full of boxes because they cannot be posted. Huan Xuan took it in his hand and looked at it, the box had been used for a long time, and it was glowing with moist light, you can imagine how many times Xie Zhan had opened it and closed it.

Buddha, I was not able to send you home when you were alive, and now your bones, and the letters you left behind, I will also send them back to your home.

"The general is not good," the guard suddenly broke in, "the mourning hall is on fire!" ”

Bang, Huan Xuan put down the box and ran out.

The entire mourning hall was completely engulfed in flames, thick smoke rolled up the tongue of fire, lighting up most of the sky, and the guards ran to put out the fire, and buckets of water were poured on the sea like stones, but the fire was not alleviated in the slightest.

Xie Zhan, it's still inside. Huan Xuan snatched a bucket of water and poured it through, and was about to rush in, when he suddenly heard a terrible cry: "Tan Lang! ”

The slender figure stumbled and rushed into the flames.
