Chapter 26 Chapter Three

There was still one day before Qin Xiang's final decision, Jiang Yichen summoned the Fucha Mansion to come to Shuntian Mansion's prison, and announced that he had something important to tell.The whole family went to the gate of Shuntian Mansion together, but news came that Qin Xiang had thrown himself in prison and hanged himself. Hengtai rushed all the way into the prison, and what he saw was Qin Xiang's corpse hanging high, with his legs hanging in mid-air, swaying left and right, which was very terrifying.Looking at Qin Xiang's body, he was dumbfounded. At this time, Fucha Fujin came to Qin Xiang's body together, and Hengtai turned his eyes to look at her fixedly. His indifferent and cold eyes made Fucha Fujin stunned in fear.Hengtai stopped looking at her, and moved towards Qin Xiang in a daze. He put her down, and the moment his hand touched the hem of her empty clothes, his heart ached for no reason, and tears shed unconsciously in his eyes down.As he stretched out his hand, he trimmed her hair, thinking that yesterday, she was still combing and braiding her hair, and her fingers were so gentle.

How did he die?Why don't you wait for him to check again, why can't you wait... "Yichen, what exactly do you want to say?!" The roar of General Fucha behind him resounded through the prison.Did he summon the whole family just to see Qin Xiang's tragic death? The moment he saw Qin Xiang's body, Jiang Yichen was shocked.After a moment of silence, his clenched fists were already loosened. He sneered slightly, admiring that man's wrist, but he was still close in the end! "Jiang Yichen, what kind of trick are you playing?" Mingxuan came in one step, stared at Jiang Yichen, and said bitterly, "If you die, I will deceive all of us to come here. Don't pretend to be fools, just go straight if you have something to say." Say!"

Jiang Yichen grabbed Mingxuan by the collar and twisted it tightly in his hands, his brows and eyes tightened: "When one person dies, one life is lost! Isn't this scene not good enough, not tragic enough? You Fucha family don't care Other people's lives are life! Right? Right?" He was as angry as a leopard, because of Qin Xiang's death, he thought of his godmother again.However, what is even more angry and hateful is that one life after another has passed away, and the perpetrator is still safe and sound! "Jiang Yichen, you're crazy!" Seeing Mingxuan being restrained by Jiang Yichen, Rumei rushed out, pulled Mingxuan out of Jiang Yichen's hands, and guarded Mingxuan behind him tremblingly, "What are you doing?!"

What are you doing? Jiang Yichen looked up to the sky and laughed, looked at all of them, and said in a loud voice, "What am I going to do? I saw my godmother, and I saw the person who killed her stretch out his devil's hand under my nose again, killing another life! She You are so powerful, so cunning, you walk in front of me every step of the way! Every time you commit a crime, you can whitewash the peace and retreat!" As soon as the words fell, Liancheng's heart ached, he took a deep breath, and his eyes full of tears turned to Fucha Fujin wordlessly, his eyes were as cold as looking at a stranger.

And this statement angered Hengtai even more.He turned around in front of Qin Xiang and grabbed Jiang Yichen's neck. The veins on his forehead popped out, and he said bitterly, "Jiang Yichen! Speak clearly! Speak clearly!" Now, all that remains is desperate. Jiang Yichen sneered, raised his hand in the direction of Fucha Fujin, and said indifferently: "Ask her! Ask your mother-in-law! Ask you kind-hearted, scheming mother-in-law!" Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Fucha Fujin who was standing alone by the wall, but Fucha Fujin still had a calm face, she raised her head proudly, not afraid of everyone's gaze, and responded silently to Jiang Yichen's heavy blows every time .

At this moment, General Fucha, who had endured for a long time, couldn't help taking a step forward, and said coldly, "Shut up!" The anger of the crowd has calmed down a bit.General Fucha passed by Fujin's side, glanced at her deeply, and then walked in front of Jiang Yichen, his eyes were turbulent, and his voice was full of helplessness: "Yichen, I am nearly sixty years old, and I have twenty-four battle wounds on my body. , I was hit by an arrow in the temple, and I walked through the gate of hell several times. It is not easy to have a safe home. I know what you are struggling with. You think you know the truth, and you always want to avenge your godmother. Let me tell you, you don't know the truth enough! I will give you the truth you want!"

The wine on the table was already cold, General Fucha picked it up and handed it to Jiang Yichen.Jiang Yichen took the wine and drank it all in one gulp, General Fucha even drank three cups in a row.General Fucha sighed slightly, looked at Jiang Yichen, remembered that woman, and remembered Xing Yu, whom he would never forget in his life, for a moment, he could only smile dejectedly. "Yichen, godfather respects you because you have deep affection for your godmother!" General Fucha looked at Jiang Yichen with deep meaning in his eyes. Jiang Yichen gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "That's because the godmother is also very kind to me."

After a long time, General Fucha showed a helpless smile, and slammed his palm on the stone case: "So you must, must, avenge her, right? It's just about her, about me and her, There are still some things that you didn't know, I will tell you tonight!" Jiang Yichen, who had never seen General Fucha like this before, suddenly froze while holding the wine bowl.General Fucha has always been guilty, ashamed and remorseful towards his godmother, but today, in his tired eyes, there is actually a hint of... faint relief. When the wine bowl fell to the ground, General Fucha looked out of the window, his eyes blurred in the beautiful scenery of a spring garden, as if he had dug out that distant story from his memory——

"At that time, Xingyu and I were a poor couple, boarding in a thatched hut in Dongshi. There was also a young couple living next to them. One sold sesame seed cakes and the other made tofu. They were poor, but kind and happy. It can be seen that Fame and wealth are not necessary for a couple to live a happy life. It’s just that Xing Yu and I failed to comprehend this important truth at the time.” "Back then, when I was with your godmother, I never passed the martial arts exam, not even once. I could only drank my sorrows every day, and I was about to ruin my ability. Until one day, Xing Yu found an opportunity that seemed to change my fate, and today's General Fujin—Nalan Yingyue was our target back then. At that time, Xing Yu was Nalan Yingyue's hair-combing maid."

Jiang Yichen was stunned when he heard the words, the hand holding the wine bowl lightly dropped, and the wine bowl fell to the ground with a clang along the edge of the table. But recalling the unbearable past, General Fucha smiled wryly and said: "Although the conditions for Nalan Yingyue to choose a husband were very harsh at that time, in this world, no matter how harsh the conditions are, as long as you understand them in advance and prepare accordingly In fact, it is not difficult to be satisfied. Xingyu and I rebuilt a new me according to Yingyue's dream standard." Everything is planned.From the first meeting on the racecourse to all the things that followed, Xing Yu and him, it's not that one loses the other, but they are all involved in a plan.

General Fucha closed his eyes, and his face was already pale: "Since I married Yingyue, I really started to rise to the top, until the day Yingyue's father died, I couldn't wait to write a divorce letter, and wanted to pick you up and marry me." Your godmother came here to enjoy the wealth and honor together. However, I never expected that this letter would fall into the hands of Yingyue. Because of this, I dare not act rashly, so I pushed back the plan to take your mother and son to Beijing again and again push." Jiang Yichen was dumbfounded when he heard that, the next thing was that the godmother brought him to Beijing, and then the godmother died.However, this complete story is completely different from what I have always believed.He shook his head, as if he couldn't believe it, he suddenly pushed away the stone table in front of him, and shouted: "This is impossible!" General Fucha opened his eyes and stared at him fixedly.The truth of the matter is like this, it was me and Xing Yu who coveted wealth and glory, arranged and designed Yingyue together, and thus got everything they have now.It is also because of this that no matter how many mistakes Fucha Fujin made, he will forgive her, just because he is today because of her, and the instigator of all these sins and injustices is himself.For many years, he has been working hard to be a good person, hiding his dark and dirty side deeply in his heart. "No! No! I can't accept it!" The wind whistled outside the window, and Jiang Yichen's clothes swayed with the wind.He looked at General Fucha with a distorted expression, but shed more and more cold tears, as if a great betrayal had cut every inch of his skin, and he smiled maniacally, "This is not true! This is not true!" The most painful betrayal in this world is the complete subversion of what you always believed in. General Fucha walked over, held his shoulders, and looked at him sadly: "Listen to Godfather, let's go, this is not the place for you, go live your free life. Whatever you want, I will do it for you." for you." Jiang Yichen raised his head in a daze, looked at him, and slowly squeezed out a strange smile: "What do you have that I don't have? What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me?" General Fucha clenched his right fist. If he wasn't too stupid, at least he knew that there was one thing in this world that the people in front of him couldn't refuse!The coldness on his face gradually turned into a calm smile, General Fucha suddenly said: "Before dawn, Qixialing, I will send her to your side!" Aunt Qin Xiang left in such an unclear way, just like Xing Yu back then, she left quietly, taking all the truth with her.Liancheng stood in front of the window in a daze, looking at the bright blue lanterns reflected in the mansion on the deep blue lake.Only one unimportant aunt died, and there was no one in the house who burned paper for her.Human life is thinner than paper, she finally understood the meaning of this sentence. There was a soft knock at the door, it was Hengtai.Liancheng's heart moved, he hurriedly went to the door, pushed the door open, but there was no one there.So he took a step forward, only to see General Fucha standing on the porch, looking sideways at her, his eyes were extremely cold, not as loving as before. Behind him followed a group of servants, all of whom were holding weapons and sacks. "Ama." Liancheng called blankly. General Fucha raised his head, glanced at her, and said indifferently, "Liancheng, you know too much." As soon as the words fell, Liancheng felt a mass of darkness in front of her eyes, what weighed heavily on her... "Hengtai! Help!" She called out, and was hit hard on the neck.Her consciousness gradually became unclear, and she could only see three or two people who looked like servants picking her up and putting her into a sack.The servant, the servant of Fucha Mansion.Is it Fucha Fujin?She was going to do something to herself in the end, so... Hengtai is really Qin Xiang's biological son?Aunt Qin Xiang was really killed by her. Liancheng seemed to understand everything, she used her last strength to break free, calling "Hengtai" incessantly, those people simply tied her arms and blocked her mouth. Another heavy punch landed, and her mind became chaotic. Hengtai, Jiang Yichen, Xingdai, Fucha Fujin, Aunt Qin Xiang, and even her own shadows overlapped in sight, and then turned into It's a mess... The sky was so overcast that it seemed like it was about to snow.Night, dark very early. Although the courtyard is not cold, it still looks dark and deep.The distant eastern sky is covered with moonlight, and the light is broken and cold.Hengtai stood in front of the window in his robes, facing the wind, holding the sterling silver shrimp beard bracelet tightly in his hand.He followed Nanny Guo since he was a child, so how could he not recognize the owner of this bracelet.The owner of this bracelet is Fucha Fujin, and later Er Niang gave it to Nanny Guo as a reward. Turning around, he silently put the bracelet in front of Fucha Fujin, his eyes fell on her face, but he always felt strange. Fucha Fujin caught a glimpse of the bracelet, quickly looked away, and still raised his head: "Hengtai, this bracelet..." "Are you trying to say that Nanny Guo's bracelet was stolen, or is there an identical one in this world?" Hengtai stopped her, as if not giving her a chance to argue, with a very calm voice, "It's impossible to steal, It’s not worth such a small amount of money. It’s even more impossible to be exactly the same, I clearly remember that you have worn this bracelet for more than ten years, and I even scratched it when I was a child.” He glanced at her, only to see that her sleeves that were put down to her knees were trembling, and something seemed to hit her heart, causing heavy pain.Hengtai took a deep breath, bent down, stared straight at Fucha Fujin, and said in a weak voice, "And...no matter what the possibility is, you shouldn't be so nervous. Look, your hands are shaking gone." The tight string in my heart seemed to be pulled too tightly, and it was already broken.But Fucha Fujin felt that he hadn't felt so relieved for many years.Now, she doesn't want to say another word, she just waits for Hengtai to ask him what's on his mind. "Fujin." Hengtai called out, not Erniang, but a cold "Fujin". Fucha Fujin was stunned by this sound, and looked at him leisurely, holding back his tears. "There are only you and me here, please tell me honestly, whose son am I?" Hengtai didn't move for a moment, looking deeply into her eyes.For the first time in nearly twenty years, he looked at her so deeply and coldly. "You..." Fucha Fujin choked up and exhaled deeply, "You are my son!" Hengtai violently swung the sterling silver shrimp beard bracelet on the table to the ground, making a crisp sound.That day, Mother Guo went to Zhong Bao's house, and the bracelet that fell off unintentionally must have made the same sound when it landed, but Mother Guo couldn't hear it, just because the scene at that time was too chaotic. "This is the physical evidence found at the murder scene." His eyes fell on the bracelet on the ground, and he shook his head with a wry smile, "You don't know how terrifying this thing is, because when I saw it, there was only one inference in my mind— —the owner of the bracelet killed someone. But why would she kill an unrelated stranger?" Fucha Fujin suddenly raised his head, stared at him, and said urgently: "That man threatened me, he..." "What did he threaten you with?" He looked at her quickly, not leaving her a moment to think. "He...he..." Fucha Fujin froze, the words rushed into his throat, but he couldn't swallow them no matter what. "Threatening you to tell the secret of stealing the dragon and turning into a phoenix back then, telling the secret that I was Qin Xiang's child but was bought by you?" A slap fell heavily on Hengtai's right cheek, and Fucha Fujin's raised hand was still trembling.This was the first time she hit him, but it hurt more than whipping herself! "You are my son! You are the son I have raised with all my heart and painstaking efforts for twenty years!" The sound was piercing, shrill and trembling. A trace of sadness suddenly flowed from the bottom of my heart, which seemed to overwhelm him.Hengtai gritted his teeth and kept shaking his head: "You are still lying to me! Up to now, you are still lying to me! Qin Xiang told me that her son was sold to others by her husband, but before the secret was revealed, Her husband was murdered by you...and you still refuse to tell me the truth!" The palm turned into a fist, and he put it down in a daze, Fucha Fujin only felt a throbbing pain in his heart, as if he was about to die from pain. Hengtai pulled out the dagger from his sleeve, the shiny dagger blade reflected his incomparably determined eyes.His knees fell heavily, and he knelt down to Fucha Fujin, staring at her with unprecedented cold eyes: "I am a general, I can die in battle, but I can't be deceived by others! What's more, this matter has something to do with my life experience! You If you don't tell me the truth, I will die in front of you today!" Tears couldn't stop falling, she rushed over, clutching the dagger tightly, a smear of scarlet fell straight down: "Back then, your Ama wanted to have a child, and Aunt Mei was also pregnant. Needless to say, my daughter fell out of favor, and I will no longer have my place in this family. Therefore, as a last resort, I asked Nanny Guo to secretly find a boy from outside—that is, you, Hengtai." Over the years, she has raised him and taught him, loved him and loved him, and she has long regarded him as her own son, and his fate has long been tied to her.Although they are not blood relatives, they are still inseparable. One is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged.Now, she has nothing to fear.Only afraid, only afraid of losing him. "So, you killed Zhong Bao?" Heng Tai said in a daze. "Nurse Guo went to Zhong Bao's house that day, and saw that Zhong Bao happened to be unconscious..." "But what about my mother-in-law? Qin Xiang, my mother-in-law..." Hengtai said with a dull pain in his heart, "How could she commit suicide? Did you do it?" "No." Fucha Fujin hurriedly shook his head, held Hengtai's sleeves with both hands, and burst into tears, "It's not me, and it's not anyone else. She would rather die to save you, in exchange for your life's safety .” Hengtai almost froze, his numb eyes floated up, looking at her sadly, the bone-piercing pain permeated every inch of his skin.That was her mother-in-law, who had never hugged her, never called her, but she would rather use death to cover up this ridiculous secret.Life, the life of his mother-in-law, is so worthless!And can one's own future and prosperity be more important than the life of one's own mother? Seeing that Hengtai was in such pain, unable to struggle, Fucha Fujin was in more pain. She pushed Hengtai away, stood up with one step, took off the cold sword hanging on the wall, unsheathed it, and handed it to Hengtai. With cold tears in Hengtai's eyes, he stared blankly at the sword in his hand, not knowing what Fucha Fujin wanted to do. "Hengtai, this is the end of the matter, what do you want us to do?! Qin Xiang committed suicide for you, and how can I have the slightest selfishness? If the kindness she has given you over the years is not as good as her kindness to you, then, Hengtai, pick up the sword, kill Er Niang, and avenge your own mother! Er Niang is also willing to die, in exchange for your safety!" Hengtai fell into the abyss one step at a time, and the cold sword in his hand fell to the ground. One has the gift of childbearing, and the other has the gift of nurturing with hardships. This is the most difficult choice in the world. "Er Niang, one is my own mother and the other is my adoptive mother. Why do you give me such a difficult problem? What do you want me to do? What should I do!" Hengtai fell to his knees again, heartbroken. Fucha Fujin hugged him, just like when he was crying aggrievedly when she was a child, she held him in her arms with comforting care.At this moment, she could feel every trace of struggle and trembling in his body: "You asked me what you want to do? You heard what my mother said, tonight, you have a good cry! After that, from tomorrow, you will Forget about it and live a good life! Your own mother, in order to keep this secret, sacrificed herself so that you can continue to live the life you are now. Let’s all forget about it and pretend it never happened, okay? You are still a major general , Er Niang’s good son. The day I saw you when I saw you..." Hearing this, Hengtai felt a pain in his heart, and hurriedly raised his head, supported Fucha Fujin, and held her tightly: "The day you carried me back...the day you carried me back, Erniang, that...your own daughter Woolen cloth?" Fucha Fujin was stunned, and tremblingly wanted to say the name. The cold wind suddenly hit, and the door was slammed open from the outside—— General Fucha stepped in with a cold face at this moment.His eyes were red and swollen, he didn't look at Hengtai, but stared straight at Fucha Fujin, and sighed: "I know everything. Yingyue, you have deceived me for so many years!" Fucha Fujin knelt down for a moment, as if exhausted of all his strength, he was unable to even utter a word of explanation.General Fucha felt pain in his heart when he saw her physically and mentally exhausted.In the past decades of staying with her, before and after, Xingyu and Rumei owed her a lot.Now, he couldn't bear to blame any more. "Twenty years, no matter how I blame you now, it won't help." General Fucha leaned down, supported Fujin, and looked at her deeply. "Some mistakes can be corrected and rewritten. But some mistakes can only be corrected." If you can make a mistake, you can make a mistake." Looking at Hengtai again, General Fucha made up his mind and said: "We have raised Hengtai for many years, and he is still and will always be my son. I am proud of him! Just starting tomorrow, all the years Those who knew about the matter, be it Jiang Yichen or Liancheng, all of them will disappear completely for me!" Soon, he has laid a net of heaven and earth, and everyone in this world who knows the truth will disappear completely. "Ama." Hengtai walked up to General Fucha and asked in surprise, "You! What are you going to do?" General Fucha frowned, and said firmly: "I planted explosives in Xiaojing Lake, Jiang Yichen and Liancheng, they know too much, they must die!" Fucha Fujin didn't seem to be awake, and hurriedly grabbed General Fucha with one hand. Danxi's long armor was broken, and her eyes were blurred: "Master, what are you talking about? Master! That Liancheng... Liancheng is your biological daughter and me. what!" It was so peaceful, as if I heard the familiar flute sound again. Gradually opened his eyes, and saw the peaceful full moon, and the fragrance of roses wafting in the wind.Liancheng turned his eyes quietly, and saw Jiang Yichen sitting next to him playing the flute. Still suffering from a dull pain in his head, Liancheng struggled to get up and called him feebly. Hearing this call, Jiang Yichen quickly dropped the flute in his hand, turned around and supported Liancheng: "Liancheng, you finally woke up, I have wronged you." Liancheng's head was still dizzy, and he really didn't understand which song he was singing now, but seeing Jiang Yichen staring at her expectantly, he said, "Liancheng, come with me, I will take you far away of." Liancheng was anxious and wanted to shake his head, but he saw bright torches rising gradually on both sides of the river, and the soldiers held muskets, bows and arrows in their hands.Liancheng's face was pale, and he hurriedly asked Jiang Yichen to watch it together.Jiang Yichen hid Liancheng behind him, looked at both sides of the bank, and realized that he had fallen into the scheme of General Fucha. He smiled, and suddenly grabbed Liancheng tightly: "Liancheng, are you afraid of death?" Liancheng nodded hurriedly.She was afraid, afraid of death, pain, cold, and hunger. There were too many things she was afraid of in this world. Now, what she was even more afraid of was that she would not be able to see him without Hengtai. "Liancheng, do you want to die with me?" Jiang Yichen asked with a smile. Liancheng quickly shook her head: "Jiang Yichen, don't talk nonsense. I don't want to die with you, for no apparent reason." Even if she wanted to die, she would die with Hengtai, not Jiang Yichen! The sound of horseshoes, getting closer, more and more rapid breathing—— It's Hengtai!It was Hengtai who took the path to save himself! Liancheng rushed towards the direction of the sound of horseshoes, but was grabbed by Jiang Yichen: "Liancheng, you are not allowed to leave, even if you die, you will die with me!" At that moment, fear, nervousness, and excitement were all gone.Liancheng only stared at Hengtai's approaching figure, saw him get off his horse, saw him confront Jiang Yichen with a sword for her sake.Every blow of Jiang Yichen was a vital point. He was in the limelight, and he was able to hold the sword with ease. The cold sword in his hand shone like a silver dragon, and every blow left no way out.Hengtai's sword moves are more defensive than offensive. He doesn't want Jiang Yichen's life, but Jiang Yichen will kill Hengtai for the sake of connecting cities. Hengtai's hands and feet were full of sword wounds, blood flowed out from the wounds, and it was gradually unstoppable. Jiang Yichen sneered, and taking advantage of Hengtai's weakness, he struck Hengtai's sword away with his sword. The blade rolled like a silver snake and flew towards Hengtai's right shoulder. "Stop hitting—" Liancheng had rushed between the two of them at this time, blocking it with his body. The moment his eyes touched Jiang Yichen, he felt his eyes tremble suddenly, with pain in his eyes.The moment his eyes froze, she suddenly felt a heat in her chest, something penetrated from her body.That sword, the sword that Jiang Yichen hadn't had time to hold back, now penetrated from her chest to her back, staying firmly in her chest.She lowered her head and looked at the sword, then at Jiang Yichen. She only felt that her chest was so hot, but she didn't feel any pain at all. She saw Jiang Yichen's pale lips trembling at the moment, as if calling her name, but she couldn't hear anything. "Jiang Yichen...Hengtai...don't hit her..." There was a sound of overflowing, and scarlet blood fell on her snow-white skirt.She covered her mouth with one hand, and was suddenly a little confused why her mouth was bleeding, more and more blood. With a light body, Jiang Yichen's figure was no longer visible.Out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to see bright fireworks bursting from the sky, rushing towards the night sky with a bang, with a strong smell of gunpowder. She fell back into a warm embrace, filled with a familiar aura, the aura of Hengtai.This sword was inserted too deep, now the scorching heat dissipated, leaving only the entangled pain in her internal organs, which made her burst into tears.Lifting his eyes with difficulty, the blood-stained bare hand lightly brushed Hengtai's face: "Hengtai, I'm in so much pain, am I going to die..." The exhaustion all over the sky and floor hit her, she just wanted to fall asleep, and the moment she closed her eyes, she suddenly felt so warm. After the rain, the sun shines, and the rainy atrium reflects the sunlight, which is full of brilliance. The fragrance of the rain in the wind is not light, and it floats into the nose, with a light earthy smell.Xing Dai froze while holding the pen, a drop of ink stained the paper.Standing up from the desk, raising the concubine bamboo jade curtain, she slowly moved to the outside room, looking at the two kneeling in the middle hall through a soft curtain, she frowned deeply. "Mingxuan, Aunt Mei, is what you said true?" This statement is still dubious. Mingxuan kowtowed again: "Princess Mingjian, the facts are like this—I, Ama and Fujin stole the dragon to turn the phoenix, deceived the king, and used the wild species bought by Hengtai to pretend to be the official blood of the Fucha family and the princess." Marriage. The villain and Er Niang accidentally learned the truth, and they dare not hide it, so let the princess decide!" Rumei beside him also added words to echo: "It is true. Mingxuan and I heard it outside the window of Master and Fujin last night. It is absolutely true, we dare not lie!" Xing Dai held the teacup in her hand, her eyes fell to nowhere, she was silent for a while, then she watched the two people expresslessly said: "Now, you are telling me this matter, you want me to be the master? How do I decide?" Rumei knelt forward, and hurriedly said: "Princess, please clarify the rules of the royal family, and return my son Mingxuan as the only son of Fucha's family!" Xingdai smiled tiredly, rubbed the center of his brows with his hands, and sighed quietly: "Aunt Mei and the second younger brother just want titles? The huge general's mansion has countless wealth, don't you think about it?" Mingxuan and Rumei looked at each other, hesitating.After another moment, Ming Xuan nodded heavily, facing Xing Dai and said: "No one can take away what should be mine! It's all up to the princess to uphold justice." Ling Luo dragged the ground, Xing Dai stood up, lifted the curtain, and moved lightly: "How difficult is this! Since you trust me and rely on me, you should obey me in everything, and I will naturally plan everything for you." Standing in front of the window, she looked at the decayed lotus flowers in Yingyue Pond from a distance, her eyes darkened: "Tell me what you said, starting from today, everything in the mansion will be presided over by Aunt Mei and Second Master Ming. But, about today you Don’t tell the outside world what you reported to me, otherwise—I want your heads!” Watching Mingxuan's mother and son leave, it's already dusk, the curtain is drawn down, and the bright light in the room is dimmed inch by inch.Xing Dai was stunned for a while.Hengtai is not the son of Fujin, and this story of stealing a dragon and turning a phoenix is ​​too absurd.However, the Hengtai she wanted was never Fujin's son, but only Hengtai. Yun'er came up step by step behind her, put the robe on her shoulders, and said in a very low voice, "Now that Liancheng's identity is revealed, the forehead will treat her better, princess, you have to think about yourself." Xing Dai didn't move, she just rolled her eyes silently: "Is Liancheng awake?" Seeing Yun'er shaking her head, Xing Dai fell silent again.There was no sadness in her expression, only deeper fear.This huge general's mansion, I am afraid it will be difficult to keep Hengtai!And how can I keep his heart and his people? Liancheng saw Jiang Yichen in his dream.In the dream, he disappeared in a flash of flames, the artillery fire tore his clothes, and rushed him into the night sky.In the flames, she saw his smile, and she saw him raise a hand dripping with blood, and handed the flute to herself.His words are still in my ears: "Liancheng, die with me, are you afraid?" "Jiang Yichen!" Liancheng yelled, sitting up suddenly, the wound on his chest seemed to be torn in pain, excruciating pain.Her eyes were still closed, as if she was still in a dream, she covered the wound with one hand, her expression was in agony, and cold sweat kept falling. "Liancheng!" Hengtai had already rushed up and hugged her tightly, "Liancheng, wake up, wake up." This sound is so far away and so close. Liancheng trembled with difficulty, opened his eyes, and saw Hengtai's red eyes in a daze. His face was extremely haggard, and his eyes were sunken deeply, as if he hadn't rested for a long time. "Hengtai..." Liancheng called out, suddenly feeling at ease. "It's me. You're safe, you're fine." He took her hand and pressed it tightly against his face, "Does the injury still hurt? Shall I call the doctor to show you?!" Liancheng shook his head, tears kept falling: "I don't hurt, I'm just so scared. I thought I was going to die, I thought I would never see you again!" Hengtai held her in his arms distressedly, and kept comforting her: "Nonsense! We are both fine. We will always be together, and we will never be apart!" There is no terrible secret that will separate them, No one will frame her again, and from then on, he will use his whole life to protect her. Liancheng calmed down for a moment, then pushed him away abruptly, and stared at him nervously: "Where's Jiang Yichen?" By the small mirror lake, she only remembered that she saw the flames all over the sky and the ground before she fainted, and then went to see him again. He couldn't see Jiang Yichen's face either. Hengtai pursed his lips, struggled for a long time, and still said in a low voice: "He was in Xiaojing Lake, he was bombed to death, and there is no body left." Tears fell suddenly. Liancheng clenched his fists tightly, trembling all over, unable to restrain himself, he said in a daze, "Murderer." Hengtai hurriedly supported her shoulders, and urgently explained: "Liancheng, this is an accident." This was not an accident, she clearly remembered General Fucha's face.General Fucha told her coldly that she knew too much.Therefore, he wanted to kill her and Jiang Yichen just to keep the secret that Hengtai was Qin Xiang's son. "No." Liancheng shook his head, "It's your Ama, he's going to kill us, Jiang Yichen and me!" "Liancheng—" A sound came from outside the tent, Liancheng heard the words, and looked outside the tent blankly.I saw General Fucha and Fujin standing outside the tent at a loss, and the two of them looked at him with too much emotion in their eyes.So much so that she felt strange for a while. "Is Liancheng awake?" Fucha Fujin came step by step, stopped in front of the couch, his outstretched hands trembling in the air, and with the last sound, his throat was faintly turned, "My daughter." Liancheng shrank subconsciously to the inside of the bed, and she covered her forehead with her hands. She knew too much, so they wanted to kill her.She was terrified, terrified that she would leave with a secret like Aunt Qin Xiang, like Jiang Yichen and Xing Yu. "Liancheng." Fucha Fujin rushed forward with one step, and stroked Liancheng's forehead with trembling hands, "Son...you look at me, don't be afraid." Liancheng raised his head in a daze, looked at Fucha Fujin, and locked his eyes tightly. "Do you know who I am?" Fucha Fujin asked her softly, couldn't help crying, and pointed at General Fucha again, "Who is he?" Liancheng was still afraid, bit his lips and said, "Fu Jin...you are Hengtai's mother-in-law, he is the general, and Hengtai's Ama." General Fucha stepped forward, staring at Liancheng impatiently, and finally couldn't help saying: "Liancheng, we are your biological parents, you are Gege from the general's mansion, and you are our own daughter!" Liancheng froze for a moment, trembling all over, she shook her head in a daze, looked at the two people in front of her strangely, and saw Hengtai's distressed face, tears choked in her throat.No, she doesn't believe it.Do not believe his words. "Son..." General Fucha couldn't help choking out his sobs, "Liancheng, call your name Ama, Erniang..." "No, it's not!" Liancheng yelled out loudly, shaking his head again and again in denial, "Impossible! Nonsense! You lied to me! I only have one mother, she is Liniang from Yingfang Pavilion! She is dead! I don't know you , I don’t know you guys! No, no, I know you guys…” As he spoke, he gradually froze, then raised his head, stared at them with a particularly indifferent look, pointed at Fucha Fujin, and said slowly, "You are the wife of the general who killed Xing Yu and Qin Xiang." Fucha Fujin immediately closed his eyes, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Liancheng cried and moved his hand to General Fucha again, gritted his teeth and said: "You...you caught me, you planted explosives in Xiaojinghu, you want to blow me and Jiang Yichen to death, you want us to die , You are a general who kills and silences!" Finally, she pointed her finger at Hengtai again, staring at Hengtai's expression that was more painful than hers at the moment, she felt both familiar and unfamiliar. Everything seems to have changed. Even Hengtai is a stranger and can no longer be trusted!Liancheng struggled to get up from the bed, clutched his wound and staggered out.Seeing this, General Fucha stretched out a hand, trying to grab him, but a sudden dizziness hit him, his feet went limp, and he fell heavily on the chair. "Hengtai, hurry up..." With a weak voice, General Fucha held onto the table and said with difficulty, "Hurry up and bring Liancheng back." Before General Fucha could say anything, Hengtai rushed out of the door. Fucha Fujin leaned forward to the general, supported him tightly with one hand, expected that he must have suffered another headache, hurriedly went to call the doctor, but when he looked up, he saw Rumei coming with Mingxuan in a menacing manner. Rumei came here with a beautiful body, and when she saw this, she became even more arrogant.She sat straight on the main seat, pulled Mingxuan's wrist, and raised her voice: "Everyone in this mansion has committed a crime and is in danger! From today on, this general's mansion belongs to me and Mingxuan! " 富察将军紧紧握住福晋的手，此刻，他愤怒却又实在无力，微微睁开眼，冷冷地看向如眉：“你们这是趁乱要反啊！” “老爷。”如眉款款步至他身侧，稍俯低了身子，嘴边漾起得意的笑，“老爷，我一心侍奉你，明轩是你唯一的嫡亲独子。你却视我们如敝屣，宠信一个买来的恒泰，甚至不知从哪里来的野种江逸尘。我已经把府里的丑事都报告给了公主！公主已经有了计划，你们大家伙就等着吧！抄家抓人喽！” 明轩更是一步走来，笑着嚷嚷：“我们可是功臣！知情上报，必然是有赏赐的！如今可就等皇上下旨了！” 好一个知情能报，又是好一个一心侍奉。 “你！你们！”富察将军怒极，猛地站起身来，却又怒火攻心，一口痰卡在喉咙中。他闷哼了一声，眼前一团黑漆漆，身子直直地倒了下去。 连城身上带着伤，跌跌撞撞地跑上廊子，转过月门，脚下被石子一滑，重重地跌落在地。她挣扎着爬起来，面上尽是冷泪。那些杀人凶手们，她要躲开他们，他们皆一个比一个可怕，她招惹不起，还躲不起吗？ “连城——”恒泰忙由月门中转出，他疾步追上连城，扶着她缓缓站起来，“别跑了，伤口还在流血。” “不跑？我不跑小命都会留不住！”连城惊恐地将他一把推开，混乱道，“他们杀了那么多人，他们不在乎再灭掉我一个！快放开我！快放开我！你没看见啊，栖霞岭上，他们埋了那么多炸药！” “他们是你的亲生父母！”恒泰一把抓住她。这世上，虎毒不食子，而他们纵是再冷血再残忍，又怎么会对她下毒手？ ! “胡说，胡说！我没有这样的亲生父母！二十年前扔掉我，二十年之后还要害死我！”连城忙将耳朵堵住，不住地摇头，不住地否认，好像只要她不认，这一切便可以不是真的。她推开恒泰，欲要挣脱他，却被恒泰狠狠拽住。她咬他的手，恒泰忍住了痛，一动也不动，任她死死咬住自己的腕子。 一滴泪掉落下来，她终是不忍心，口一松，浑身力气卸下，缓缓地蹲了下去。 恒泰亦是满脸的泪，他俯下身，将手抚在连城的后肩，声音温柔，生怕惊了她：“我等了你三天三夜，等你醒过来跟你讨个主意，好好说句话，你就这样对我，是吧？” 连城把头埋进两膝，依旧摇头：“我不跟你说，我要离开这个地方。这里人人都罪恶，这里不是我该待的地方。” 恒泰心疼地将她抱住，一滴泪，落在了她的脖子上：“真要走？” 连城依旧不肯抬头，坚定地道：“真要走！” “一个人？”恒泰轻轻地问她，声音清晰，“不带上我？！” 连城刹那一愣，愕然地仰起了头，定定地看着恒泰：“你？” 恒泰望着她缓缓溢出一丝笑，不过是走，未尝不是幸事一桩。他握住连城的腕子，紧紧不放：“连城，你害怕了？” 连城默默地点头。 “你觉得自己一个人，他们都在害你，是吗？” 一行泪，猝然落下，连城再点头。 恒泰叹了口气，将她一把揽在怀中：“不，连城，你还有我，我会永远保护你。只是请你……请你也别扔下我，现在这个世界上，咱们俩只剩下彼此。要留一起留，要走一起走！谁也别早一步，谁也别晚一步！” “恒泰！你不会骗我吗？你不骗我？” 一手指天，恒泰定定地望着她：“连城，我若骗你，就叫我永远痛苦，求生不得，求死不能，炼狱轮回，永不超脱！” 书房的灯，一夜未灭。待黑夜淡去，清晨第一缕曙光漫入庭中，恒泰推开窗，任风吹起桌案上的信笺。此一番书信别过，不知是否是永别。 自书案前走出，却见冷帐之外的身影，已不知何时停驻在门边。 今日，醒黛穿了一袭格外华丽的雀丝缎衣，那是她第一次见恒泰时穿的衣饰。她至今仍记得清晰，她见到恒泰的那个场景，甚至记得起他那时面上的所有神情。很长一段时间以来，她便是以此来缅怀，来得到一丝残存的幸福，仅由自己一手织造的幸福。 “额驸，你在做什么？收拾行李？要出远门？还是去边疆戍关？” 终于，她还是问出了声。这一声，夹杂了太多复杂的情愫。待云儿偷听到他和连城意欲一并离开的消息时，她便有机会来向他责问，甚至痛骂他。她可以哭，可以闹，然而，此刻，她在他的书房软帐外等了一夜，却并不是为了哭闹。 “罪臣一家犯了欺君大罪，不敢苟活。请公主处置！” 好一个不敢苟活，这怕是她听来最荒谬的借口。 醒黛空笑了一番，目光渐冷：“我看你不像请罪，你这是要私奔！” 恒泰平静地仰起头，目光直视醒黛。有那么一刻，面对眼前这位风华正茂的年轻女人，他有一丝愧疚。然而，也有那么一刻，他对能挣脱开这场钦定的婚姻，又有那么一丝庆幸。 他坦然地看着她，说出心中那番压抑许久的话：“普天之下莫非王土。我身犯重罪，走到哪里能够逃脱制裁？只是我心里记挂着一个人，她自打跟了我就没有轻松快活过，这一次跟她同去，能从公主、皇上手下偷来几天就算几天吧……” 他，果然是说了。 “好好好，恒泰，我没看错你。你好深情。”冷风划过眼睛，竟有那么一丝寒澈，醒黛将丹茜长甲狠狠掐在手心，这痛，已然要被心底的痛压过。她扬声，以一个骄傲的公主的口吻告诉他，“那么让我告诉你，接下来我会怎么办——我要把你的额娘纳兰映月打入死牢，半年后问斩，在这其间让她尝一尝衣不蔽体、食不果腹的滋味，让她好好体会一下暗无天日的监牢，让她这个一辈子荣华富贵养尊处优的福晋了解那些被她害死的人之前过的是怎样的日子。” 恒泰猛地看向她，煎熬呼之欲出，他只狠狠盯紧她，难以启声说一个字。 醒黛说着猛地闭上了眼，她努力咬住下唇，才不致被他瞧去了满心颤抖：“你的阿玛富察翁哈岱已经是一个废人，我却要让他活，让他这样一位骁勇武将好好体会口眼歪斜，肢体瘫痪的滋味，让他看着他身边的人一个个死掉，而他连自己的命都结束不了，他连一口粥都要靠别人喂到口中。” 此刻，恒泰心中已全无畏惧，看着她，微微闭上了眼睛。那曾经在初遇时面对自己微笑的女子，又是什么淬炼了她今日的痛恨？这字字句句中，他听不出她的愤怒，只听到一个女子最深的痛，和最切肤的恨。 见他仍是一脸平静、毫无情绪的模样，醒黛不由得继续道：“至于你的姨娘如眉和你的兄弟明轩，这两个损人害己的蠢货，他们会怎样呢？明轩不是好赌吗？我就给他个六面的骰子，上面是六种死法，他扔到哪一种，他跟他额娘就怎么上路。他不是一直想做富察将军的独子吗？这别致的办法恰恰适合他的体面。” 醒黛顿了顿，目光转向门外，那初日正缓缓爬上屋檐，心底漫出一丝恐惧。原来，她也是这样的人，就像深宫中那些惯常斗争的女人们，原来她也可以这样笑着说出一切残忍的威胁。而她又是何其悲哀，需要以这般残忍困住心爱之人。 “我忘了谁？对对对，你……你和你的连城。她要怎么样，要看你了。我不会让你们得逞的，死活都在一起？做梦！你活着，她得死。你死了，她就必须活着。我要效仿古法，把她的四肢削去，做成人彘，泡在酒坛子里。我要她给我唱歌，我们两个一起缅怀你！”她越说越激动，已是不可抑制地大笑，喉咙中冲涌着深深的苦涩。又有谁能理解，说出此番言语的自己，竟是有多么痛，“怎么样？啊，我的办法你喜欢吗？恒泰？” 终于，恒泰缓缓睁开了眼睛，在他眼中，面前的醒黛，只是一个可怜而悲哀的情深女子。如果她必是要自己偿还她的情，他可以以命来偿！ “公主……”一声凝在口中，他忽而转了温柔的口吻，唤着她的名字，第一次唤出她的名字，“醒黛，你对我情深一片。所谓爱之深，才会恨之切。辜负你一番深情的是恒泰，就让我把命还给你。不够吗？为什么……为什么不能放过我的阿玛和额娘？” Why?他竟然问自己为什么？他宁愿以命来还。可是她要的，从来不是他的命！醒黛凝着他，须臾不动，她是要被他伤得有多深，才能不爱；倒是要将他看得有多深，才能不再爱。她也曾祈求佛祖度化，求自己能够将他忘记，便能不痛不爱。 泪，瞬间爬了满面。 “你……”醒黛颤抖着，苦笑着，越笑，泪反而落得越急，“你还知道，你还记得我对你一片深情！恒泰，我是什么人你不知道吗？”醒黛摇了摇头，双唇微微咬紧，“我要你家人的命有什么用？我要的是你的心！我不说，你不说，我们把这一页翻过去，重新来过，好不好？将军府还是将军府，少将军还是少将军，你还是我的额附。所有人都安好，所有人都没事！” “公主，请告诉恒泰，你到底要什么？”恒泰望着她，满目哀求，满目深沉。 醒黛一凝，止住了眼泪，只望着他，目中全空：“只要你，只要你——从此再也不见连城！” “我不能！”恒泰猛地站起身，作势便要疾步离开。 他不能，他不肯，他不愿！这世上，没有连城，便没有恒泰。他们二人必是相连的，可以同生，亦可以同死，但绝不能分离！ “恒泰！”醒黛猛地追上去，双臂紧紧揽住他的腰，脸一丝一丝贴到他僵直的后脊上。泪，就顺着他的后襟滑落下来，“你不能什么？你不能为了救养育你二十年的阿玛和额娘而抛弃连城？还是你为了她，宁愿不要你的妻子、你的孩子！” child! 那两个字足以贯穿他，让他此刻不能呼吸。 脚下怔住，恒泰愣愣地垂下头，看着醒黛强行揽住自己的手腕。他下意识地掰开她的腕子，却发现自己的手指在不能抑制地颤抖。 “恒泰，我有了你的孩子！我只是要她走！我只是要连城走！” 一声由身后传来、支离破碎的声音寒凉坠地，是撕心裂肺的痛。 猩红的泪滚在眸中，恒泰张了张嘴，却发不出一丝声音。风声萧萧，如泣如诉，然而这声音却掩不住内心的悲泣。呆然的目光遥遥望去庭中，在那四面高墙之外，他似乎看到了连城驻足等待的身影。她站在微冷的风中，金色的阳光铺洒在她的双肩，她依旧如往日那般憨憨地笑看自己，那样让人满心愉悦的笑脸。此刻，这幻影，却看得他心神俱碎，看得他泪流满面。 天空极晴朗，阳光洒落在一片晶莹的冰湖上，似一面皎洁的圆镜映出天地的光辉。阳光可以这样肆意，冰湖可以这样美艳。风压过茂密的松树枝头，发出沙沙的声响。曾几何时，她也想着，自己终有一日要离开将军府，寻一处山野郊外，和自己的心上人相依相伴，终老终亡。 以冰湖为镜，连城凝着“镜中”的自己，拢了拢鬓边的碎发。恒泰要她等在这里，且千叮咛万嘱咐过，他不来，她便不许走。她，又如何能抛他而去呢？可是恒泰，真的也会如自己的心一般坚定吗？ 想到这里，连城的心乱了，忙又摇了摇头，她蹲下身子，捡起小石子丢到冰面上，心底暗念一声“别胡思乱想了”。 脚步声，这荒山野岭的脚步声……是恒泰！连城激动地转过身，看着远方那个持伞而来的身影，却不是恒泰。 “云儿。”一声自喉中哽出，满脸的期待转为失落，连城几步走上去，“怎么是你？” 云儿停驻在她身前，只道：“额附让我来这里，带句话给连姨娘。” 连城心中有一丝紧张，微微出声：“恒泰让你带话给我？” “额驸说，将军府近日事务繁多，他要重整家务，分身乏术，请连姨娘自己上路吧……” 耳边云儿的声音越来越淡，越来越浅，连城只觉得脑中昏昏沉沉的，她什么也听不到了。一时间只剩局促不安，她无意识地捏紧一角衣袖，兀自一笑：“恒泰，要我自己上路？” 云儿将手中的包裹递给连城，添言道：“这是一些盘缠细软，是公主让我捎给您的。额附太忙，公主本来要为连姨娘送行，只是身子有喜了，孕兆强烈，她需要休息，只得命云儿代行。” 一时间，连城似乎全都明白了。她恍然点了点头，苦涩地笑了笑，将那包裹退还给了云儿：“我本来就出身市井，是个在街上疯跑的野孩子，走到哪里都能有办法。这包袱你拿回去，还给公主吧，谢谢她的好意，我并不需要。只是有一句话，请你帮我带给额附——” “连姨娘请讲，云儿一定带到。” 连城看着她，那些话，哽在喉头，久久，终于还是咽了下去，化为一声长叹。她笑着摇了摇头：“算了。愿他们好。” 话落，转身面向冰湖，满天芦花纷纷坠落，她仰起头，看了许久，才知，原来不是芦花，是雪。这时节，本不该有芦花飞舞。 恒泰啊恒泰，你终是骗了我，也负了我。 她仰首看着漫天雪花，静静微笑着。翩翩飞舞的雪花落了满袖，漫天拂来，一束束绽放在清冷的素衣间。握在手中，想这漫长的冬天总是会过去的。 一步步走在这冰湖之上，布鞋已湿，双脚冷得麻木。下了雪的湖面上似有一层薄薄的霜，脚边的冰，有些薄，连城甚至能从裂开的冰面上看到湖水深处的宁静。转过身，试图避开那个冰窟窿，却感受到一只手触在腰间，那手指尤其冰冷，伴着一股子推力，将她向那冰窟窿中送去。 尚来不及唤出一声，身子沉沉地倒向冰湖，裂开缝隙的冰窟窿迅速将她团团包裹住。连城睁着眼睛，悲哀的目光，仍盯着云儿来不及收回的腕子。 便是那一双腕子，猛送来的推力。 连城笑着，任冰冷的湖水蔓延周身，任自己的身体缓缓跌入湖底。那一瞬间，她极其留恋地看着湖面上的一切，空旷的蓝天、纷纷的落雪、傲然的松柏、洁白晶莹的湖面，还有……那挂在云儿嘴边狡黠的微笑。 这样冷，这样痛，这样寂寞。 心底的声音亦越来越弱，她想，她便要这样安静地离开这个世界了。 漫天飞雪覆盖了京城上下，盖过人世间无数的悲欢离合。天空清透，似初生婴儿般纯洁，富察福晋仰头看了一眼将军府上空的一方明净，不由得释然叹了口气。这一方天地之下，将军是天，她为地，便是生活了几十年的岁月。低下头，她看了一眼搀扶在身侧的富察将军，温柔出声提醒道：“老爷，我们这就要离开了。” 将军府门外，已是跪了一地家臣。恒泰与醒黛立在最前面，而如眉和明轩亦躲在家臣之后，远远望着富察福晋随将军离开将军府。如今的富察将军，已不是当年那个驰骋沙场，文武双全的英俊男儿。眼下，他又病又老，双腿也不能行，便是由人搀扶着都颤巍巍的。一场中风下来，他已恍如一个灯烛残年的孤零老人，如今，身边也只有富察福晋了。 “世情推物理，人生贵适意。想这辈子，总不过百年光阴，如今一半已经过去了。往昔所作诸业，无论好坏对错，皆如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电，一切都已经不再重要。”富察福晋看向众人，平静地开口，“如今的我，便只想这样照顾富察将军，慢慢回到奉天府老家，养养病，过一段平静的生活。”日出日落，看云看花，一朝清闲，一朝便宜，其实也是人生的福气。 “如眉。”最后一眼，富察福晋看向如眉，平心静气地问她，“老爷好歹对你不薄，要不要随我同去？” 如眉靠前了半步，此时连连摇头，叹了口气道：“唉！福晋啊！正所谓挑担的难下扁担，砍柴的放不下板斧，似我这般，又如何能走得？”说着，目光再一瞟向明轩，随即又道，“福晋在奉天府还有亲族，何况恒泰已经顶了老爷的差，这样有出息，你自然去得无牵无挂。可你看看我这明轩，哪一样不要我操心？唉！如眉没本事，所谓老来从子，这辈子算是跟着明轩了。再说老爷也不待见我，见了我只怕有气。也罢！也罢！我只在平日烧高香，保佑老爷病体早早康复便是！” 富察福晋只一点头，便不再强求，扶着富察将军缓缓上了马车，身后突然传来一声低微祈求—— “老奴，愿与福晋同去。” 富察福晋闻声一怔，已听出了说话的人是郭嬷嬷。她未回身，只强扯笑意摇头：“郭嬷嬷，我知你的好。你跟了我这么多年，一直也没享过什么福，奉天又冷，你身边只有一个郭孝。” “福晋——”郭嬷嬷唤下一声，仍欲坚持。 “嬷嬷。”富察福晋叹了声，截住了她的话，“所谓老来从孙，剩下的这段路，你就不用跟着我了，就留下来，享享清福也好。” 雪，不停地落下，富察福晋垂下目光，凝着肩头那一片晶莹，目光渐渐落至身后的恒泰。只是几日间，他人已消瘦了许多，从前炯然有神的深瞳，如今空洞洞的，全无神采。富察福晋叹了口气，不无心疼地转向恒泰，缓缓开口：“恒泰，额娘有很多很多对不住你的地方，事到如今，多说也是无益。额娘现在要带着你阿玛走了，大德也好，大怨也罢，额娘只希望你能多记得我的好，忘记那些不好。” 恒泰看着富察福晋，目中微酸，艰难地移开视线。 “额娘会在以后的日子里，终日吃斋念佛，希望能够消业去障，同时也保佑你平平安安。至于连城……”富察福晋说着，终是露出了一丝留恋，“是我们没有福气做她的父母，她人在这里也是受罪，走了也好，走了也就自由了……你要好自为之，善待公主……” 恒泰咬了咬唇，于富察福晋落声后，一言不发地走至马车前，双膝沉沉坠地，向着富察福晋的方向磕了三个头。富察福晋眼圈顿时红了，几步踩下车，倾身上去，便要搀扶起他，却见恒泰使劲抵头在地，如何也扶不起。 “恒泰。”富察福晋落下泪来，不无心疼，“起来吧。” 恒泰仍如泰山，岿然不动，默声无言。 “福晋，该上车了。”身后传来郭嬷嬷的轻声催促。 富察福晋的目光仍是久久不能移开恒泰，步步走，步步凝着恒泰的身影。轻声一叹，富察福晋入座马车中。但撩开轿帘，望了一眼窗外的恒泰，见恒泰依旧跪在马车前，动也不动。 马车渐渐远离将军府，富察福晋仍痴痴望着逐渐遥远的府门，心中百转千回。那一座将军府，喜也是它，哀也是它，荣华也是它，衰败也是它。曾以为生也是它，死也是它，如今一来，那并非自己终老终亡之地。而身边，却是坐着要与自己终老终亡之人。 目光静静转向富察将军，见他如今病态憔悴，目光涣散，心中一时泛出酸楚，她探身，将他紧紧抱住，虽然他如今老去病去，可胸膛那有力的跳跃，仍如三十年前初次相遇。而便是这心跳，让自己喜怒哀乐了这许多年。 “虽然那么多年，你心里没有我，但我却是实实在在地爱着你！”压抑多年的话，终是说出口，富察福晋紧紧合了眼，满心释然，“老爷，有些话我从来就没对你说过，我原以为，因为杏雨的关系，我永远也无法走进你的内心。可是，直到这一刻，我才发现，我如今是终于拥有了你！现在想来，也算是因祸得福！” 富察将军的目中渐渐泛出泪光，他颤了颤眼睛，试图有所回应。 富察福晋为他紧了紧袍衣，一手抚去他眉心的褶皱，安慰他：“老爷，你放心，我会照顾你的，从此再也没有人来和我抢你，也不用抢了，我是你的，你也是我的。我们的人生、我们的爱情，现在才刚刚开始，以后的路还长着呢！” 富察将军一时激动，虽口不能言，却发出了啊啊的声响。他听到了，也是知道的，她心底的话，他全都明白。 富察福晋见状，落下两行泪水，点了点头，握住了富察将军此刻仍在颤抖的手：“我知道，你明白的！你什么都明白！放心吧！你会好起来的。只要你在我身边，一切都会好起来的
