Chapter 100 Chapter Ninety-Nine

On May 17th, the twelfth year of Gaozu, the day Liu Bang was buried.Mrs. Qi was not allowed to attend the funeral by Empress Lu, and she didn't even know that Liu Bang was dead. Many soldiers entered Weiyang Palace that day.One of her two favorite cuckoo birds in the palace before died without any warning.An ominous omen enveloped her, and she had a premonition that something serious was about to happen! A woman wears makeup to please the man she loves the most.I want to impress Liu Bang with my beauty, so as to win his love and affection for me.She looked at herself in the mirror, she was just 30 years old, but she had become haggard and aged so much in these few days.Those vivid eyes, like black pearls, were blurred and gloomy like thick autumn frost.Every day, she puts on a lot of makeup, hoping that Liu Bangneng will miraculously appear in front of her, and embrace her affectionately.However, since her Liu Bang was forcibly brought into Changle Palace by Empress Lu, she has never seen him again.She still fantasizes that her Liu Bang will not leave her alone, and he will definitely get better.

She had a sore nose, and two lines of tears rolled down her well-made up face.For a period of time, tears have become her most intimate friend, always walking quietly to accompany her when she is sad and helpless.She didn't know how long such days would last, let alone when she would be able to return to her former glory. The cuckoo that survived seemed not to know what death was, and it was still screaming "It's better to go back, it's better to go back" guarding the dead lover, as if to say, "Get up, get up, Why don't you answer me, Bao'er, get up!" The voice was shrill and mournful, like the most tragic flower, blooming to make people worry and hurt, and like lonely fireworks scalding passers-by.Madam Qi felt that the sound burned to the depths of her flesh, and it seemed that the sound came from the bottom of her heart.

She opened the cage door, and the cuckoo did not fly away even after bombarding it for a long time.She took it out of the cage, held it in her hand, and whimpered, "Let's go, let's find another companion!" However, the cuckoo just stood in her palm like that, "It's better to go home, it's better to go home!" Go home," he cried out in a shrill voice.Blood was already spilling from the corner of its mouth, and with each cry, more blood poured down from its mouth. "If you bleed like this again, you will die!" Mrs. Qi brought a silk handkerchief, wiped the blood from Du Juan's mouth, and said sadly.

She thought of her Liu Banglai again, and said to herself: "I haven't seen you for so many days, have you forgotten me! Is there another younger and more beautiful woman who tied you up, and I will become The old underwear that makes you tired and you can't even get rid of it?" During this period, she couldn't help talking to herself, as if Liu Bang could hear what she said. The cuckoo's cry became weaker and weaker, and finally crawled on her hands and trembled.After a while, the calf stretched out, as if using its last strength to make the last flight or call.It finally didn't call out, let alone fly, it died.

Madam Qi, who was already in tears, asked the maid to wash her face and comb her hair.She told herself that it was only the cuckoo bird that died just now, and that had nothing to do with her.She wants to cheer up and wait for her great-grandfather with the most beautiful appearance.
