The lights are on.

The light shines through the hollow lamps and sprinkles every corner of the room, like a dream.

The evening breeze crept in through the half-open window, blowing translucent lilac drapes that cast a layer of purple mist over the already dimly lit room, mysterious and mysterious.

The walls of the room are covered with precious brocade, and the furniture of pear blossom wood exudes a faint fragrance.

Everything is in the best of luxury.

At the small round table of yellow rosewood with the same style as the furniture, the woman is wearing a jasmine curved embroidered silk hundred water skirt, azure silk embroidered cloth and brocade shawl, and on her white and soft hands, she is holding a crystal clear fresh fruit like white jade with good water.

"Yu'er, this is a lychee sent from Lingnan urgently, it is extremely sweet, and it is good for the body to eat it, you are growing your body, be good, eat two more."

The gentleness of a woman, with a pampering.

But no matter how softly the woman coaxed and how the fresh fruit gave off its fragrance, the seven-year-old boy sitting on the small round bench still shook his head like a rattle.

"Mother, my sons don't want to eat."

The woman continued to persuade, "Well, eat one...... Just eat one, it's very expensive. ”

Jun Beiyu couldn't cry or laugh, "No matter how expensive it is, Erchen doesn't like to eat it!" So sweet! Sweet throat aches. ”

"If you feel sweet, you can drink water and rinse your mouth, and continue to eat after rinsing your mouth."

“……”

Seven-year-old Jun Beiyu really can't understand why his mother is so tough.

After eating, I feel sweet, drink water and rinse my mouth, and there is no sweetness in my mouth, what is the difference between not eating and not eating?

But he couldn't help it, he knew that his mother was for her good, and that his mother loved him and wanted to bring him the best things in the world.

In the end, the little Jun Beiyu sighed, opened his mouth wide, and asked the concubine to stuff the sweet thing into his mouth.

After eating, he hurriedly picked up the tea on the side and poured it down.

Let the bitterness of the tea wash away the sweetness in your mouth.

While the mother concubine was peeling off a lychee, Jun Beiyu bit his lip with struggle, and then whispered, "Mother concubine...... Erchen ...... The son dreamed again...... That's ......."

The woman's figure was stunned, and the half-plucked lychee in her hand fell straight down and rolled on the ground.

Jun Beiyu was about to get up to pick it up, but was pulled by his mother, "Yu'er, you tell the truth to your mother, have you told others about this?" Be sure to tell the truth! ”

Jun Beiyu was a little scared, because the gentle mother concubine on weekdays grabbed his arm hard at this time, making his arm hurt.

Also, the mother's tone was hurried and full of fear.

"I ...... I...... Erchen didn't! Erchen didn't say anything! ”

"Really? Are you sure? ”

“…… It's true! Erchen is sure that no one said anything! ”

"Good...... That's good! ”

Jun Beiyu could feel that the mother concubine breathed a sigh of relief, and then her eyes were full of grievances, "Yu'er, remember, you can't tell anyone!" If you say, we mother and son...... I'm afraid I won't live long! ”

Jun Beiyu hurriedly nodded vigorously, nodded desperately, and even nodded his head with a pain, just to let his mother see his determination and believe him, "Don't say it!" Erchen definitely won't say it! ”

But at this time.

In the fragrant and quiet room, he smelled something.

It is the burning smell of fire.

He was startled, "Mother, it seems that there is a fire somewhere!" ”

However, the woman didn't know it, and kept muttering, "I can't say it...... Can't tell anyone...... And if you did...... Our mother and son won't live long......"

Smoke poured in, and tongues of fire burned.

He grabbed his mother's hand and shouted, "Mother, run!" It's on fire! ”

However, the mother's weak body was as hard as a statue, and no matter how he shook it, he couldn't move.

The fire rushed up, and he was so frightened that he hugged his mother, trying to use his small body to block the flames for his mother.

But a gust of wind blew him away, and he could only watch his mother being surrounded and engulfed by fire.

He shouted frantically - Mother!

"Lord Wang, wake up!"

"Are you having a nightmare? The prince ......"

Jun Beiyu woke up abruptly - the fire was gone, and he couldn't see his mother, and there was only darkness around.

This is not the concubine's Qianrui Palace, but her own room.

…… It turned out to be a nightmare.

He pursed his lips, and his heart ached sharply - he hadn't seen his mother for a long time, and he wanted to see her again...... Why didn't the concubine want to see him? He couldn't figure it out, was it because of that strange dream?

But he listened to his mother and never told anyone about that dream!

Mother ...... He really wanted to see his mother!

It was the only family he had in the world......

The pain in my heart swept through my body, and the tearing pain was even more painful and violent than when I encountered the fire.

Qiu Jin, who was keeping vigil, blamed himself to death, "Butler, it's all the villain's fault!" Villain...... The villain kept staring at the prince, and then fell asleep inexplicably......"

The housekeeper Li Heng sighed, "Don't blame yourself, after all, after a day's work, it's normal to fall asleep." ”

For various reasons, since the prince fell ill, the housekeeper dismissed most of the servants from the palace, leaving only some domestic slaves who knew the roots.

But how can such a few people take care of such a large palace?

The two of them didn't notice at all that the man lying flat on the bed made a rare move, his hands slowly clenched into fists, as if he had made a decision.

"Constant ...... Uncle ......"

Li Heng, who was talking, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly rushed to the bed, "Lord Wang? Lord, are you calling the villain? ”

Qiu Jin didn't dare to speak, and leaned over.

The upper half of the man's face on the bed was ruined, only his chin and mouth remained.

The chin is delicately sharpened, and the lips are shaped like willow leaves.

"Water ......"

The two were taken aback and didn't even believe their ears!

It's been two whole days, and the prince refuses to eat and drink!

Even if they fed the water to the prince's lips with a spoon, the prince still closed his mouth and refused to open it.

But I didn't expect that the prince suddenly wanted to drink water?!

Qiu Jin looked at Li Heng in horror, his eyes were red, and he asked with his eyes-Is this a return to the light?

Before people die, they will return to the light.

Even if the soup didn't go in before, you can still eat and drink, and some can even get out of bed and walk around.

The return of light lasts for about two hours, and when it is over, there is no cure.

Li Heng also choked silently and nodded heavily.

Qiu Jin's throat rolled and swallowed back the bitter tears, "Housekeeper, do we want to get water?" ”

Li Heng smiled bitterly and nodded.

Take it, what if you don't?

Isn't it possible to keep the sick who have returned to their light by giving them food and drink?

The die is cast......

Qiu Jin brought warm water and fed it to the prince spoonful by spoonful.

When he was fed the fourth spoonful, the prince suddenly closed his lips.

Qiu Jin knew that the prince refused to drink it.

As soon as he took the water bowl away, he heard the faint voice of the prince, "...... Porridge ......"

“！！！！！！！！” Qiu Jin didn't believe his ears! "Housekeeper, do you want to take porridge?"

Li Heng choked up and nodded, "Take it." ”

Qiu Jin hurriedly ran to the kitchen, brought the warm white porridge, and began to feed the prince again.

After feeding a small half bowl, the prince closed his mouth again.

Qiu Jin put the porridge bowl back as well.

Just when the two of them thought that the prince would explain his last words next, they heard the voice of the prince with a trace of strength in his weakness, "...... Go to sleep. ”

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the house.

Qiu went in and out to take a look, but found that ...... All the house slaves left behind were in the courtyard.

Everyone has a hunch that the prince can't resist tonight, so they all silently come to accompany the prince and take the last journey.
