Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty-One

Move lightly with lotus steps, carefully avoiding the filthy and moldy things all over the floor, resisting nausea, and avoiding the rotten and musty smell in the prison.How long has it been since I haven't set foot in such a gloomy and cold place.And every step will bring back unpleasant memories in her past. After finally standing still, he took off the dark purple floral cloak worn by the maid, put the maid's waistband in her arms, and said loudly: "I came to visit at the order of the young master, and you are just waiting outside." There was a voice behind Nuonuo, who promised to be courteous and said: "Auntie, please be careful."

When Ling Yunche heard the sound, he just leaned on the straw mat and remained motionless.The woman walked briskly, the silk was gently raised on the tip of her nose, she put down the thick cotton bag in her hand and opened it, revealing a red lacquer food box, a drawer was unloaded, and she took out a pot of warm rice wine and a bowl of steaming shredded chicken Noodle soup with mushroom slices and a plate of fried sour cabbage. She endured the displeasure, and said softly, "Brother Yunche, it's me." The familiar titles in the old days evoke ignorant and gentle memories.His heart trembled slightly, and soon he was soaked in deep sorrow and hatred, supporting his painful body, and slowly straightened up bit by bit.

The simple movements in the past were extremely difficult for Yun Che after the injury.He expended a lot of effort, struggled to sit upright, looked at the person coming, and said calmly: "It's you?" Yanwan's neck was slightly bent, casting a soft arc on the gray wall, and said softly: "Brother Yunche, I know you have suffered." She forced a smile, "Although this place is dirty, after Ama's death, the house The road is difficult, and it’s not like I haven’t seen such a situation before.” Yun Che's gaze was extremely indifferent, like a gentle cloud shadow falling on her face, causing her to lower her head for no reason.

Yan Wan took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, handed it to him, then quickly withdrew her hand to avoid touching the dirty straw mat under his clothes, and said with concern: "I know you have been severely punished, this is my I asked Wang Chan to ask for it. I heard that they were eunuchs... after being stabbed, they all... used this medicine, so they recovered quickly..." Her tone was astringent, and she tried her best to avoid touching his sore spots in her words.Seeing that Yun Che didn't answer, and didn't look at the bottle of medicine, she had nothing to say, "You still love cleanliness so much, you've reached this point, and you even changed into clean clothes."

Yun Che brushed off the moon blue gown on his body, and said indifferently: "I am clean, but I was soiled by people splashing sewage. You know it too, don't you?" Yan Wan maintained a gentle and appropriate smile, "Who doesn't know your difficulties? I only hate that the emperor believes so deeply that you have suffered all kinds of crimes." Holding the noodles in both hands, she said earnestly, "I will cook for you myself. The side dishes I made are all your favorites in the past, so let's have a taste." Yun Che glanced at her a few times, with a distant look on his face, "I liked it before, but I don't necessarily like it now. It's just that the imperial concubine changed into a palace lady's attire late at night, and came here at night, so she didn't just bring me some dishes. It's still a decapitated dish." , Farewell, did you send me here?"

Yan Wan was startled when she heard the words, tears welled up in her eyelashes, "You are quick to speak, and you are not afraid of taboos." She poured a cup of rice wine and handed it to his lips, Yun Che turned his head away, and she didn't care, she just raised her head and drank it by herself He said with red eyes, "I checked the emperor's words, you have violated the most taboo that men should not commit, and you are bound to die. I will risk my life to send you off today. The Forbidden City that I entered back then started with You were with me. Now that you have come to the end, I will come to see you off, which is considered a round of friendship."

"Friendship?" He sneered slightly, and said with a sideways glance at her, "The imperial concubine is high above me, and I have already become a slave among slaves. How dare I cling to my old friendship, wouldn't it tarnish my name for the rest of my life?" Yan Wan looked at him, a tear rolled back and forth in her beautiful eyes, almost falling down, "Brother Yunche, it's over, do you still hate me so much?" Yun Che smiled very calmly, his eyes were as warm as the sunshine in April, "Why should I hate you? Could it be that you made me inhuman or ghost?"

Yan Wan's throat stagnates, her heart throbs with pain, she is so ashamed that she can hardly lift her head. The sound of Yun Che's coughing was particularly alarming in the small and stuffy room.That kind of cough is the weak panting after the severe punishment, the empty sound of rustling in the chest cavity and the unsustainable pain.He forced himself to endure the pain and said, "Wait a minute." Yan Wan faltered, and somehow slowed down, but couldn't bear to look back at her haggard face.She was a little guilty, even her voice was vain, and she tried her best to hold herself back, "Is there anything else to say?"

Yun Che coughed and laughed, "You and I should have nothing to say at this point. But Yan Wan, in my heart, I always remember your previous appearance. Unfortunately, that Yan Wan is long gone." Yan Wan's eyes were sour, and the scenery she looked out was covered with a layer of white light, "Since you know you're not here, why bother to keep it? Or I will tell you that Yan Wan is Yan Wan, never changed, it's just you I just don't understand." Yun Che sighed regretfully, "Yes! The beauty in the past is the same as it is now. What I cherish is the beauty in my heart." Pressing his chest with one hand and the wooden fence with the other, he said slowly, " There is one thing I gave to Yan Wan in my heart, you are no longer her, can you return that thing to me?"

Yan Wan's heart twitched tightly, she unconsciously clenched her fingers, and said shyly, "What?" There was no words for a long time, in the dark and gloomy room, under the lingering candlelight, on the delicate and well-maintained Xuenen finger, a ruby ​​pink ring shone with a gloomy and dull light.Even it is ashamed of itself, as if it is not worthy of the tenderness and dignity of the onion-like fingers. Yun Che was speechless, but slowly spread his hands, "This is the only thing I have in this life. Although I was meager back then, I gave it to the woman I loved with all my strength. Now things are different, and this ring I don't match her anymore, why don't I take her away, and stay with her under the loess, so that I won't be lonely."

Tender tears were forced down from the sockets of her eyes.She raised her face, looked at the moldy ceiling, forced herself, endured it, endured it again, and forced back the tears.The ring seemed to have grown on her finger, and it was hard to slip off even though it was astringent. She pulled it out vigorously, holding back her breath, pain, and reluctance, and said hoarsely, "Is this ring so important to you?" There was deep affection in his eyes, "Decades of vicissitudes, only this thing remains unchanged, how can we not cherish it again!" There is such a trace of warmth, gently spreading in the softest place in my heart.The innocence of childhood sweethearts and the sweetness of childhood sweethearts have become a past that cannot be recalled under the tempering of time. Every time I think of it, it is a vague tenderness.But only she knows how the days passed happily, bouncing gently in her heart. She refused to look back, and let him see that she was sad and reluctant, just clutching the ring desperately, even though it hurt her fingers, she still tore it off hard, hard, as if she was angry at herself, and threw it heavily. On the ground, he said in a deep voice: "I don't care! The emperor has something good to reward me! If I don't want any gemstone rings, I will fulfill you!" Ling Yunche bent down with difficulty, and picked up the dark red ring from the moldy pile of straw. With a faint and strange smile, he solemnly saluted, "If you make the noble concubine perfect, I can die without complaint. Ling Yunche, I would like to thank Concubine Ling for her great kindness." His words, after all, turned into tiny and sharp thorns, piercing into her occasionally soft heart that would ache.She didn't even know that at the moment when she knew that Ling Yunche was going to die, at the moment when she personally pushed him to fall into hell forever, her heart ached so badly that her whole heart felt as if it had been put on a knife's edge and cut inch by inch . She leaned on the gray wall, as if being pulled back to the obscure girlhood again.In such an embarrassing family situation, the family is completely empty, but there is still a mother-in-law who is dispensable to him.She shrank in the corner like that, looking at Ama's cold blue and stiff body, at a loss as to where to go. But at this moment, she is a lofty concubine, who has won the eyes of the king's favor, but she is irresistible to the sadness that invades her body. The wind from the corridor blew out, and it was piercingly cold. She curled up on the wall and looked back at the lights in the Punishment Department, which were like beans, and the flames were flickering. The tears she endured and endured finally burst out silently. Yan Wan burst into tears, and the moonlight in the narrow and long corridor was like frost, piercing through the bones coldly.She shivered as if she couldn't bear it, tightened the dark purple floral cloak around her body, and left silently. Hailan carried the three treasures and quietly watched Yan Wan's leaving back, with a gloomy look in her eyes, she said coldly: "You have to keep in mind that before Ling Yunche died, Imperial Concubine Ling came to see him." San Bao was full of anger, and nodded vigorously.Hailan raised her figure slightly, looking at the snow-coloured frost on the tile eaves, she was so indifferent that she had no expression, "Let's go." When Fang walked to the gate of the Punishment Division, the two sleepy guards saw Hailan but didn't recognize her. Seeing her so luxurious and beautiful, they were also taken aback, and hurriedly nodded and bowed, "You are..." Sanbao said loudly, "This is Concubine Yu." The two guards hurriedly greeted An and said: "Concubine Yu, Wan An. How did you get to this pickled place?" Hailan lowered her eyelids, holding the gold-plated pendant flower hand stove in her hand, and said lightly: "Is Ling Yunche there?" A guard smiled and said: "Yes! Yes! Only today, the maids of the Yongshou Palace came to see him, and the concubine Yu also worked hard." Before saying a word, the guard had already received a slap on the face, and Sanbao spat: "Whatever your status is, you dare to ask about Concubine Yu's affairs!" The guard was beaten, bent his back desperately, and said with a bitter face: "I don't dare! I don't dare!" Hailan raised her eyelids slightly, and the emerald armor with golden threads fell on the stove. Although her voice was soft, the words could be heard clearly, "I am here at the order of the empress. Keep it in mind, don't you?" Many words." The guard didn't dare to make a sound, and hurriedly let Hailan in. The prison was damp, Hailan held onto Sambo's hand and walked steadily, not paying attention to the filth on the ground.Ling Yunche had passed through just now, and his wounds were already affected, and he was sitting on the haystack to rest. His breathing was slightly long and turbid, with the breath of dying, making one's heart sour.After a while, he felt a bright light in front of his eyes, a woman in emerald jade and purple shirt, full of pearls, was standing outside the fence silently. He was slightly taken aback, blinking his eyes for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it, "Concubine Yu?" He quickly smiled lightly, "Concubine Yu is rarely so well-dressed, coming here at night, I'm afraid it's just for Make it a point to be remembered." Hailan smiled lightly, "I'm not confused when I'm dying, and I'm not in vain to go through this for you." She looked around, "It's condescension for the noble concubine to come to this filthy place for you, and it's her A heart for you." Yun Che propped his body up, "What Concubine Yu said was to complain for the empress. It was clear that it was Concubine Ling who had an affair with me back then, but in the end it tarnished the reputation of the empress." Hailan gritted her silver teeth slightly, "Since my reputation is filthy, even if I can't wash away all the filthy words, I should try my best to wipe away most of them." She stared at Ling Yunche, "Do you understand?" Yun Che stared back, calm and unfazed, "I understand. The imperial punishment is just the emperor's initial anger, which has not been vented completely. I know that only if I die can the empress be safe." Hailan spit out a few words softly, "You are smart. It turns out that I care about my sister's heart, and you are the same." Yun Che smiled wryly, "Concubine Yu has been by the emperor's side for many years, and she knows the emperor's temperament well. In this regard, I am the same as you." Hailan flicked her hand gently, and said compassionately: "That's why. You know that although you have to die, you can't kill yourself. I can't give you poison, wine or dagger." Yun Che's lips trembled slightly, and then he calmed down, "If I commit suicide, I will be convicted of committing suicide in fear of crime. If I am in fear of crime, then the empress's right and wrong will not be cleared away." The smile at the corner of Hailan's mouth became shallower and weaker, "You are very smart. So I came here this time at the will of my sister, and I want to grant you an official title, so that you will have a good journey." Yunche's expression froze for a moment, he got up with a flick of his sleeves, brushed off the dust on the moon blue robe, and kept a clean and upright face, "Ling Yunche is humble, and it is his duty to die for the empress. It's just Yunche's death, not Guilty, just to wash away my sins and repay my mother's kindness." Hailan nodded, like an autumn dragonfly touching the ripples on the water, "I will tell the emperor clearly what I said. You have suffered all the humiliation of dignity. If you can die, the anger in the emperor's heart will dissipate. I will take my anger out on my sister again." Yun Che smiled indifferently, "Then my death is worth it. Thank you, Concubine Yu, for making it happen." Hailan's tone was very serious and solemn, "You have to remember, it's the empress who made you perfect." Yunche knelt down and bowed to Ruyi, "I thank the empress for your kindness, I am willing to suffer death." Hai Lan raised her face and signaled Sanbao to come forward, "Let's do it, be quick and let Ling Yunche go smoothly." Sanbao took a step forward, but refused to move his hands, and looked at Hailan with some hesitation, "Ms. Concubine Yu, if we do this, if the empress finds out, I'm afraid..." Yun Che's originally calm face twitched slightly, like ice that had been frozen for thousands of years, but was suddenly touched by the sun, showing signs of shattering, "Empress, she doesn't know..." Hailan took a step forward, suppressed the subtle changes in his expression with calm eyes that were almost dead, and said softly: "It doesn't matter. My sister will be fine if you die." Yun Che lowered his eyelids, his slightly long eyelashes cast heavy shadows on his haggard and pale cheeks, he sighed lightly, "It's really a pity, I'm also very afraid of ending my life. Everything I remember will be completely wiped out." He looked up, as if accepting the dew of the lotus leaf, raised a cheerful attitude from the filth, "These days, in the pain of the body, I always think of the empress The desolate and desperate face in the cold palace. Therefore, I don't want my mother to go back to such a difficult situation." A look of unbearableness flashed in Hailan's eyes, and she said gently: "The world is bleak, and you have rescued my sister many times, and my sister remembers it all." Yun Che's smile was so bright that he could almost see the dilapidated and dark cell of the Punishment Division, "That's great. I was thinking, I have no heirs, my parents died early, my brother committed suicide for me, and my wife divorced me , but fortunately, no more people will be involved because of this. The only person in this world who can remember me the most is the empress." Sanbao couldn't bear it even more, almost shed tears, hesitatingly said: "Concubine Yu, why don't we think about it, is there any other way?" Hailan took a deep breath, with rare decisiveness and determination, without a trace of hesitation, said: "The matter has come to this point, there is no turning back, and there is no room for maneuver." Her expression was not angry and pretentious, "My sister said long ago that I have one heart with her, and what my sister means is what I mean, and they are all the same." She glanced at Sanbao, without the slightest warmth in her eyes, and said coldly: "Sambo, you have to remember, whoever is your master, you have to do your best for him." Sanbao concentrated for a moment, gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to support Ling Yunche's arm, and with tears in his eyes, said respectfully: "Please." Yun Che raised the corners of his lips with difficulty, "Miss Yu Concubine, what I said just now was not to avoid death, but to feel that death is worth it." He bowed very solemnly and said, "Miss Yu Concubine, please send me away. The dying words, tell the empress. Please cherish yourself, otherwise, there will be no one in this world who can remember me. In this way, I will die well." Hailan's lips trembled slightly, and she bit her teeth tightly. After a long time, she finally bit out a deep blood-red mark, and said seriously: "If your words like this fall into the ears of the emperor, it is really more serious than having an affair with my sister." A hundred times. How can the reputation of the middle palace allow you to be so damaged? How can the dignity of the middle palace remember a worthless person like you?" She spoke solemnly, and her eyes unconsciously avoided Yun Che's earnest and calm words. look.Her fingertips trembled, and the slender fingers dyed with impatiens swayed like dark red drops of blood.In the end, she still sighed, "Forget it, I will pass on your words word for word. After all, I am the same as you, and I only hope that my sister is safe and sound." Yun Che smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Concubine Yu, for your kindness." He sighed, "Yun Che has been lonely all his life, and has suffered several times. If the empress hadn't lifted me up in the mud, how could I ever have a happy life?" The meaning of the day? Only if I die today, I will repay the meaning of knowing each other for many years." He chatted and laughed, as if life and death were a matter of insignificance.That kind of warmth didn't match his pale and decaying face at the moment, but Hai Lan's heart seemed to be scratched by some animal's thin claws, not heavy, but hissing pain. The doubts that have been accumulated for many years are gushing out like a shadow, gushing out. She knows that he is going to die, and he will definitely die. siltation.She signaled Sanbao and the others to retreat outside the door, approached him, and said slowly, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask, how much affection do you have for my sister? Do you really miss my sister..." She hesitated for a moment, "Or do you just take her away?" As the second person after Wei Yanwan?" His eyes were so clear that he could see his bewildered and restless face, "To me, it's the love of my youth, but now I can't bear to look back. But the empress..." He suddenly laughed, "Miss Concubine Yu, do you believe it? Some feelings will start from the joy of men and women, but eventually surpass the feelings of men and women." There was unconcealable fear and avoidance on Hailan's face, "Isn't that more terrifying?" Yun Che smiled faintly, "I don't know, but for many years, I deeply feel that the joy I have obtained is more than the worry. Therefore, I have no regrets in this life." Hailan has always been thoughtful and sensitive, but at this moment she also looks confused, very puzzled.After a moment, she shook her head heavily, "I don't believe it." Yun Chekuan smiled, "I know that many people don't believe it, but it is enough for the Empress to understand. I just hope that the two of us will be safe, no matter how far apart, even if we only meet by chance, I can still see her sincere smile, I also feel at ease. If I can't do this, even if I lose my love, as long as she is well." Hailan froze in place, as if she was extremely shocked, unable to speak for a long time, as if she had thousands of thoughts and had to be carefully discerned.After a long time, she finally said slowly: "Although I don't understand or believe what you said, I always thought that there is no such emotion between men and women, but maybe, you are sincere and right. As long as For your words, if there is any unfinished business on my mind, I will do my best to do it for you." Yun Che slightly shook his head, fumbled out a ruby ​​pink ring from his sleeve and put it on his palm, said firmly, "I gave this to Yan Wan many years ago." Hailan was quite surprised, but quickly calmed down, "Seeing her wear it a few times, I thought she was so rare about such a cheap thing. So there is such a story." Yun Che nodded slightly, and said sadly: "At least she still has heart." He looked deeply at Hai Lan, "This thing is a token of love between Yan Wan and me. As for whether it's useful or not, it's all up to you." He smiled slightly, very peacefully, "I am dying, but you are still alive. From now on, everything about the Empress will only bother you." He concentrated for a moment, and said with difficulty, "I know, what happened this time, Suspicion of Yan Wan is indispensable. But, please forgive her for the sake of this ring." He gritted his teeth, "If she still has bad intentions in the future, then I can't help her. This A ring is still useful." Hailan's eyes fixed on a certain corner of the wall, as if she was about to penetrate a hole in the wall.After a long time, she finally nodded heavily, turning her face away, unwilling to face Ling Yunche's calm face again, "I'll listen to you this time!" Then she ordered, "Sambo! Hurry up! Don't have long nights and dreams!" Yun Che cooperated very well and walked with difficulty to the wide bench for execution.The bench was four feet wide and seven feet long, and it was just right for a person to lie down on it.Because it has been used for many years, there are many traces of filth, and countless palace people in the palace died on this bench.Hailan glanced at it, feeling a little disgusted for no reason. The traces on it were clearly the struggles left by dying people, sweat, urine, or bloodstains from being strangled by a rope.Yun Che didn't care, he lay flat on it, like lying on a high couch, calm and leisurely, as if he had bid farewell to all the complicated and painful things in the world, and could finally take a rest. San Bao ordered the little eunuch who followed him to bind Yun Che's body with a rope as thick as a thumb and connected to a bench, and whispered in his ear apologetically, "I'm sorry. From now on, I will burn incense and kowtow to you every year." Yun Che faintly smiled, "Let's do it. This is the only thing I can do for the empress, and I will ask you to put your heart and soul into it in the future." Sanbao promised, turned his head away and wiped his tears with his sleeves, turned his face and told the little eunuchs: "Do it, let Master Ling go away quickly! Don't linger and feel uncomfortable." The little eunuchs swiftly covered the yellow paper on Yunche's face, and Sanbao took a mouthful of water and was about to spray it on his face, when a vague voice escaped from Yunche's mouth, Sanbao hurriedly lifted the paper and said, "You still have Any unfulfilled wish, this servant will definitely fulfill it for you." Yun Che's expression was extremely peaceful, he sniffed lightly for a moment, closed his eyes and concentrated on it, and with a smug smile of yearning, said softly: "It smells so good! Is it the plum blossoms outside?" Sanbao nodded, "When the head came in first, I saw a few wintersweet flowers blooming outside." "It's a pity that when it's cold and snowy, I can no longer cut off a plum blossom for the empress." Yun Che nodded contentedly, "If Lai worships in the coming year, just bring a plum blossom." He said nothing else In other words, let the yellow paper and the wet sticky adhere to the upper cheek. There were warm tears in the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't help it anymore, and slowly fell down.No one knows better than Hai Lan, whose lonely shadow is holding that plum blossom in her fingers, with a faint fragrance floating, and she has been in love with her all her life. The sound of rapid breathing was like a frenzy of beating the table, and after a long time, there was finally no sound.Hai Lan turned her head, the soaked seven-fold yellow paper tightly covered Ling Yunche's face, outlining the outline of his facial features.It's just that the silhouette, like the sinking posture of the distant mountain shadow under the dark night and starless sky, has no response. After all, he died as she wished. When Ruyi heard the news, she didn't have too many emotional ups and downs. Ren Hailan knelt in front of her and slowly told the story. Hailan has already finished speaking, with utmost detail, without missing a single word.She knelt on the ground and looked up at Ruyi. The unexpected calmness made her a little uneasy, so she could only call softly: "Sister," her voice was a little louder, "I think that I did nothing wrong for my sister." Ruyi only felt a fishy and sweet smell in her throat. She held her breath, holding back the rush of the smell, and her eyes fell on the corner of Hailan's skirt, where the silver-blue skirt was blooming. There are tea flowers one after another, such snow-white fragrant flowers, thinly embroidered with silver-gray and light-white silk threads, blooming in such a cluster, densely, like piles of burnt soot.It's just that the heat and scald are still there, even if there is no spark, it is still hot against the bottom of her eyebrows and eyes, allowing her to clearly and distinctly hear the subtle sound of her own skin burning. That voice, only she can hear. She took a breath, and every time she uttered a word, her throat seemed to be cut by sharp burrs. It was so uncomfortable, but she didn't change her tone, and she was still so graceful and gentle, "Hailan, I said earlier However, what you do is the same as what I do myself." She was so calm and calm, Hailan felt afraid instead.She had thought it over, thought of everything, her scolding, her tears, and her anger.That's what it should be. I made my own decision first and executed a person who had always been so good to her.But facing Ruyi's peace, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. Hailan held her hand and said, "Sister, do you think I did something wrong?" Ruyi sat sadly, and she found that her body was trapped by a restless beast.The beast was biting her, causing her unbearable pain.But she couldn't move, cry, or struggle.Ruyi just smiled wryly, "You are doing it for my own good, so how can there be any mistakes? Ling Yunche is even more innocent." Hailan was stunned, and earnestly called out: "Sister..." Ruyi was unmoved, just immersed in her own thoughts, and said quietly: "An unimportant person, if you do it, then do it." The worry on Hailan's face became more and more serious, and she called anxiously: "Sister, if you are not happy, you can scold me and beat me..." She looked clear and frightened to the extreme, "Sister...don't laugh... Don't..." She was horrified to the extreme, looked at Ruyi in bewilderment, and said eagerly, "Sister, he is dead, so tell me a word, what kind of affection do you have for him? " Ruyi caressed her face. Her fingers were so stiff that they were no longer her own. When they touched the skin slowly, she felt that the flesh on her face was soft. She seemed to be talking to herself, "I Are you smiling? Why don’t I think so?” She turned her face numbly, looking at Hailan who was about to cry, the smile on her lips was like a withered dark red and white after a wind knife "Hailan, in this life, the only one who makes me feel hot and cold is the emperor. But when I was so cold, it was you and Ling Yunche who made me feel warm." Hailan lowered her head weakly, "Sister, I have been in love with you for many years. So in your heart, I am just like him. Sister, I don't know whether I should be happy or sad. He has caused you to suffer He was so damaged that he could hardly turn over. Sister, he..." Hailan looked at Ruyi's face as pale as snow, and didn't dare to say any more.Ruyi's eyes were as calm as ice, but Hai Lan turned pale with panic as if seeing a stormy sea.Ruyi's voice was very soft, "Hai Lan, you and I have relied on each other for many years, and Ling Yunche also supported each other. It has nothing to do with love, it's about knowing each other. Hai Lan, I thought you would understand. But I don't want you to ask the same question." Hailan's lips trembled, like the last struggling dead leaf on a branch in late autumn, and her tearful eyes were wide open, almost crying, "Sister, if you are so sad, there are only me and you here." You, you cry, and no one will know." She stepped forward on her knees and hugged Ruyi's leg, "Sister, don't laugh like that, I'm terrified." Ruyi seemed to be talking in her sleep, with a misty smile, she said softly, "I'm fine, there's nothing to cry about. I'm just very tired." She waved her hands, forced her unconscious body to stand up, "I'm going to take a rest, you go back first." She got up, fell down, and almost tripped over the thick brocade carpet on the ground.Her elbow hit hard on the long rosewood table, the rosewood was solid, and the pain was unspeakable, but it was nothing compared to what Hai Lan said about Yun Che's death, which was so painful. . It was too late for Hailan to help her, but Ruyi had already stood up.She walked very slowly, very slowly, the corners of her lake-colored skirt brushed the ground like cold smoke and mist, and the gauze curtains with pearl shadows behind her were knocked down by her, causing ripples in shock, she hadn't noticed it at all , I just feel so tired, so tired, I really want to lie down and have a good rest. Seeing her like this, Hailan instinctively wanted to get up and chase after her, but her feet were weak and she couldn't help but collapse on the ground. Ruyi walked slowly into the inner hall, sat sadly on the bed, and saw in the bronze mirror of the ivory dressing table, her pale face was reflected on the brocade curtain of azure-colored plum blossoms, like a pile of snow.I really want to cry, because the pain in the depths of the body is vaguely the flesh and blood somewhere in the body has been gouged out by life, but she can't see it, and there is no damage, but she can feel that after the blood gurgled out, the limbs and bones gradually Get cold stiff. But she couldn't cry, and she didn't cry.The fundus of the eyes was so dry that they were almost cracked, but not a single tear flowed out.He could only clenched his trembling teeth into the same calm and indifferent state as before. It didn't know how long it took before she realized that her fingertips felt warm and greasy, gradually spreading bit by bit.She lowered her head dumbly, only to see bright red blood dripping from her fingertips.After distinguishing for a long time, she realized that the blood came from her own lips, but she didn't know when it was bitten off. Yes, she did not cry, nor could she shed tears.Nothing but blood. No one knows, and may not be able to understand, that Ling Yunche's love for her is not the passionate love she had when she was young.He is a tree growing beside her, with luxuriant branches and leaves, green and green.To shelter her from the wind and rain, stop for a while.However, it is gone now, and only she is left exposed to the vast world, scorched by the scorching sun, bullied by wind and snow, and drizzled by cold rain.
