Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Tragic End
Because she couldn't rest assured that Su Qingqing couldn't get rid of it, Ye Ningxiang went out of Xiao Qingyu's room and went to Mo Xiaoqin's room to quietly look at Su Qingqing, who was already asleep, and saw that everything was fine, Ye Ningxiang left with confidence.
The news of Duanwang's escape soon spread to all corners of the palace, and the emperor was furious and beheaded all the jailers involved in Dali Temple. When the Queen Mother, who was already asleep, heard such news, she also got dressed and rushed to Qingyun Palace as soon as possible.
In just a few days, Qingyun Palace has long lost its former luxury, the huge Qingyun Palace is pitch black, and the inside and outside of Wang's bedroom are full of guarded soldiers. In the second half of the night, the soldiers dozed off unconsciously.
As soon as they saw the Queen Mother rushing over without warning, the soldiers suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly kowtowed to say goodbye. The Queen Mother ignored these people and walked into Wang's bedroom without a moment's delay. The maidservants lit the candles, giving a glimmer of light to the otherwise dark dormitory.
Wang did not fall asleep, curled up his legs, sat in a very inconspicuous corner of the dormitory, and wept. In just a few days, Wang seemed to be ten years old, and his original black hair was half white.
Seeing the former Concubine Li come to see her, the Wang family suddenly lost control and attacked the Queen Mother, as if she was a crazy leopard, with her teeth and claws, and her face was hideous. But as soon as she got up, she was grabbed by the guards again, and then the soldier kicked her in the calf, and she reluctantly knelt in front of the Queen Mother.
"How is it, is it okay to be imprisoned?" said the Queen Mother with a smile as she leaned down.
"Helan Yan'er, you can't die well!" Wang said as he struggled.
"When you murdered the fetus in my womb, did you ever expect that one day it would fall into my hands!" After that, the Queen Mother laughed wildly, looked around, and continued: "It seems that the emperor still has affection for you, and after committing such a serious crime, he even allowed you to live in Qingyun Palace. ”
The Queen Mother swept over the food on the table, it was clearly the leftover gluttony that the slaves and maids had eaten, "Tut-tut, why should my sister practice herself in the way of hunger strike, you know, from today onwards you will never even be able to eat such a meal again." ”
Wang's face was frightened, and he didn't know how the Queen Mother would treat her, but his body never gave up struggling.
The Queen Mother smiled even more, and deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Do you know that your son escaped from prison, but it's going to hurt you, a mother!"
Then the Queen Mother made a look, and the Wang family was rudely taken out of the palace.
After fighting in the middle of the night, Ye Ningxiang was exhausted when she returned to the palace, changed her clothes and fell asleep, and when she woke up the next day, she was already three poles old.
Ye Ningxiang didn't scare herself half to death when she opened her eyes, because Mu Xize was sitting next to her, "watching" herself sleep.
"King, lord, I'm sorry, I'm up late. Ye Ningxiang subconsciously stepped back, as if she hadn't come back to her senses yet.
"You worked so hard yesterday, I don't blame you for sleeping until dark. Mu Xize said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ye Ningxiang felt faintly uneasy in his heart, as if he knew what he had done last night.
Although she was uneasy in her heart, Ye Ningxiang still pretended to be very calm on her face, and said while laughing: "Lord Wang, you are sitting next to people silently like this, it's really scary!"
Then Ye Ningxiang got up, put on her coat, and walked towards the door, saying as she walked, "Lord Wang, I'll make you peach blossom tea." ”
I don't know if I have been with Mu Xize for a long time and have developed feelings, every time I make tea for Mu Xize, Ye Ningxiang's mood will be very heavy unconsciously, and she will even outline in her mind what Mu Xize looked like when she was poisoned. His body is so weak, according to Ye Ningxiang's estimate, within two months, he will lose his mind due to the poison of the heart, and become a fool or a madman.
It was obviously the result that Ye Ningxiang wanted, but she couldn't be happy at all, not only was she unhappy, but she felt a little heartache, so she sighed unconsciously.
"It's good, sigh what. Mu Xize didn't know when he stood behind her.
Shocked by Mu Xize's words, Ye Ningxiang stabilized her emotions and replied very calmly: "There is no sigh, the prince heard it wrong!"
A large cup of tea had already been poured while speaking, and a bamboo straw was prepared for Mu Xize, "Lord Wang, the tea is ready." ”
Mu Xize took the tea, didn't drink it immediately, and said first: "I'm going to go to Yipinju for a while to take Su Qingqing to live in the house, no matter what, she still walked out of me after all." Xiao Yezi, you go and prepare first!"
Originally, Ye Ningxiang thought that Mu Xize had noticed something, but she didn't expect to tell herself about Su Qingqing, and her heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"Lord ......"
Mu Xize took a sip of tea first, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's fine. Ye Ningxiang couldn't stand Mu Xize drinking tea anymore, and walked out of the room quickly.
Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize specially prepared a good gift to go to Yipinju to thank Xiao Qingyu, which can be regarded as repaying Xiao Qingyu for taking in Su Qingqing.
Mu Xize came to Yipinju for the first time, and he was very curious about everything around him, and he stopped in every corner for a while, savoring the taste of every corner very carefully.
Finally, he nodded from the bottom of his heart and said, "Okay, it's a good place, I will definitely come back often in the future." ”
Mo Xiaoqin was stroking the qin in the southeast corner, and when she saw Ye Ningxiang, she immediately put down the qin in her hand and walked towards her, "Sister Ningxiang, are you here to see Qingqing?"
"I've been giving you trouble these days, and I'm here to pick her up. ”
Mo Xiaoqin smiled, and two very good-looking pear vortices appeared on both sides of her mouth, "It's not troublesome at all, I still want to take care of Qingqing for a little more time!"
Mo Xiaoqin led Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize towards Su Qingqing's residence, and at the same time described Su Qingqing's life and daily life to Ye Ningxiang with a smile on her face. Listening to Mo Xiaoqin's description, Ye Ningxiang felt that Su Qingqing's mood was much better than before, and she was not as crying as she was at the beginning, which made her originally worried heart feel a little comforted.
"Qingqing, look who's coming to see you!" Mo Xiaoqin said with a smile as she pushed the door.
The room was very quiet, it didn't look like it was inhabited at all, Mo Xiaoqin flashed a trace of panic on his face, walked straight to the bed, and lifted the futon again, Su Qingqing was not on the bed.
Su Qingqing's tendons on her hands and feet have been broken, where will such a disabled person who is unable to walk an inch go?
Mo Xiaoqin didn't know what to do for a while, and said anxiously: "I also brought food to Qingqing this morning, and she was still lying on the bed at that time, how could this person be gone?"
Ye Ningxiang didn't speak, ran out directly, and blindly pushed open the door of the next room, trying to find Su Qingqing's whereabouts, but a very bad premonition rose in her heart.
After Ye Ningxiang found a few rooms like this, she was tightly dragged by Mu Xize's arm.
"Little leaf, don't look for it anymore. Mu Xize's voice was a little low, and his face also revealed a little sadness.
Seeing Mu Xize's expression, Ye Ningxiang understood that he probably already knew where Su Qingqing was, and Su Qingqing's current situation was probably not too good.
"Does the prince know where she is?"
Mu Xize nodded, and then pulled Ye Ningxiang to a dry well. Seeing the well, Ye Ningxiang couldn't stop crying, because she hadn't seen Su Qingqing's body yet, Ye Ningxiang still had a trace of luck in her heart.
But when Ye Ningxiang dragged her trembling body and looked nervously at the dry well, her heart, which was still a little lucky, was already unconscious at the moment. The dry well was very deep, but there was not a drop of water, so Ye Ningxiang could clearly see that there was a person covered in blood lying at the bottom of the well. Even if she was covered in blood and even unrecognizable, Ye Ningxiang could still recognize her at a glance, Su Qingqing.
A moment ago, Ye Ningxiang was still looking forward to seeing Su Qingqing with joy, and thought that Mu Xize would come with her to pick up Qingqing, Qingqing would definitely be very happy, and even thought about how she should take good care of her in the future so that her body would recover as soon as possible.
Dream, Ye Ningxiang felt as if she was in a dream, obviously Su Qingqing was still lying on the bed and sleeping well last night, Ye Ningxiang seemed to be able to clearly see her chest undulating evenly, why did she commit suicide by throwing herself into a well in less than a day?
There were no last words, no warning, and without anyone noticing, Su Qingqing tried his last strength to throw himself into this dry well. Maybe for everyone, they want her to live, but for Su Qingqing, maybe death has long been the best choice.
She waited so many days just to get better so that she could have the strength to commit suicide. Maybe at the moment before committing suicide, she also had a trace of hesitation and reluctance. thought that everyone in the world would abandon her, but Ye Ningxiang was willing to sacrifice her life for King Chaduan. and Xiaoqin, a woman she never knew was willing to take care of herself day and night for her almost paralyzed self.
But she really couldn't live anymore, she couldn't bear the fact that she used to be so good at dancing and embroidering was now crippled and couldn't even speak. In this life, she is already so miserable, so she ended her life in this life early, maybe in the next life, she will usher in a better life.
At this time, Su Qingqing's body had been carried to Ye Ningxiang, but Ye Ningxiang did not believe that she was dead, although there were tears in her eyes, and her face was full of suspicion, she knelt beside Su Qingqing tentatively, and even called her name softly, as if she was afraid of waking up Qingqing in her sleep.
Without a response, Ye Ningxiang's shouts became louder and louder, and finally she put her hand under Su Qingqing's nose very weakly and didn't breathe.
Ye Ningxiang quickly withdrew her outstretched hand and sat on the ground almost in despair, it felt like seeing her relatives being whipped in the street seven years ago, so helpless, so sad.
Mu Xize gently hugged Ye Ningxiang into his arms, and let Ye Ningxiang wantonly shed his tears on his chest. Ye Ningxiang cried in Mu Xize's arms for a whole hour, and when she raised her eyes again, her big eyes, which were originally embarrassed, were already bloated.
Xiao Qingyu seemed to have predicted Su Qingqing's ending, and asked someone to bring a high-quality golden silk nanmu coffin in time. Ye Ningxiang carefully wiped the blood stains on Su Qingqing's face, changed into a very beautiful Luo skirt for her, and finally reluctantly covered the coffin.
After finishing Su Qingqing's funeral, it was already afternoon for Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize to return to Yipinju again. And Xiao Qingyu had already ordered someone to prepare a meal and wait for the arrival of the two of them.
Ye Ningxiang's eyes were already a little swollen, but her face was still full of sadness, and she didn't seem to have come out of the grief of Su Qingqing's death. So the next scene was all handed over to Mu Xize.
"More Boss Xiao has taken care of Su Qingqing these days, this is a small gift prepared by Mu, please smile. ”
"You have been tossing for a long time, you must have not eaten lunch yet, I have prepared food in the house, please come with me. ”
In Xiao Qingyu's room, a very delicate and elegant wooden table was full of very exquisite meals, and the food was still steaming, and a graceful woman was pouring wine for them.
Just looked at the back, Ye Ningxiang felt that this woman must be a beauty, but she was wondering when her master would accept a beautiful woman like flowers and jade?
As soon as the beauty turned around, Ye Ningxiang almost screamed in shock, because this person turned out to be Miss Frost who had saved her in the drunken dream of death.
