Chapter 58 one

The Sodu couple and the royal chef brought by Shah Ruh prepared a sumptuous lunch for us.When the Princess, Shah Ruh, Aylai and I, the four of us sat around for lunch after many years, it seemed as if time had turned back and everything had returned to the way it was before. Unfortunately, it can only be "seems", now we are no longer the children at that time. We chatted freely with each other, and the atmosphere was both mellow and somewhat sentimental.Shaharu's gaze always stayed on the princess's pale face. Although he was smiling all the time, the worry that appeared and disappeared in the lines of his smile could not be hidden.I never told Shah Ruh Khalil how he treated the princess, this was the princess' warning, because once Shah Ruh knew the truth, he would never forgive Khalil, definitely not!Therefore, in those most difficult days, it was precisely because Concubine Hanze Dai concubine expected this that she put down her identity and begged the princess.

The princess ate very little.Her weak demeanor could not escape Shaharu's concerned eyes. When the last fruit plate was served, Shaharu put down his wine glass and asked with concern: "Princess, are you feeling well?" The princess shook her head, "I'm fine. It's an old problem, so you don't have to worry about me." Her tone was still full of caress, as if Shahru was still a child who didn't know much about the world. However, how could Shaharu not worry about her?Day and night in Halle, he was most worried about this woman. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and was so worried that he wanted to send troops to Samarkand immediately to take this woman to his side...

He didn't know exactly how much this woman had suffered for him, but he could imagine everything. "Princess." "what?" "When I come back from this expedition, I want to accompany you to see Halle, okay? Cecia and Ayile will also go." "Okay." The princess looked up at Shaharu, with a warm smile in her dimples, "Harleh has always been the city I yearn for, and I really want to see your new library." "You wait for me, we've made a deal." "It's a deal." The princess agreed to Shaharu's request without hesitation, but in the end, she broke her promise.

Shah Ruh's conquest of Yu Sufu was not as smooth as expected.Although the Black Sheep Dynasty had come to an end during Yu Sufu's rule, Yu Sufu himself was still a resolute and resolute leader who was good at using soldiers. Moreover, Yu Sufu was fully aware that once the army was defeated, Shahru would never forgive him. He was the murderer of Miranshah and Abbek.He resisted tenaciously with the belief that he would die and survive, which made the war stalemate from the very beginning. About a month later, a strange plague broke out in Shah Ruh's army, and a large number of horses died. Shah Ruh had to Temporarily abandoning his revenge plan, ordered to return.

Just when we received the news that Shahru was about to return, Princess Oeira fell ill. The princess's illness this time came very mildly, and did not torture her like the previous few times.Her face was pale and peaceful, weak and helpless, as if she had returned to the appearance when I first saw her.She lay quietly on the sickbed, Changshengtian took pity on her and wished her to return to heaven with her beauty. Ulugh Beg was crying all the time, and his eyes were swollen until there was only a slit left.He is a strong and precocious child, but he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, but he is far stronger than his father.In fact, since he was a baby, he was rarely seen crying for a long time.There was only one time, and that time was also because the princess was ill. At the age of ten, he was already Sai's young husband, but he hugged Sai's waist and cried in panic.Sai kept comforting him, telling him that the princess would be fine, that nothing would happen, but he didn't believe it, until the princess' condition was under control and she opened her eyes to talk to him, then he kissed Sai's face full of joy, and broke through his tears. laugh.

For Ulugh Beg, the princess is his real mother.He was sent to the princess from birth. Even after he and Sai got married, he still insisted on living with Sai in his own bedroom in the princess' mansion. He never imagined that one day the princess would be far away from him. go. Moreover, this day came so suddenly. For fourteen years, the princess took him by her side, raised him, loved him, and educated him. Every excellent quality in him can reflect the shadow of the princess herself. His soul and thoughts are like the reflection of the princess's soul and thoughts. Continuation, and what his biological parents can give him is only his life.

He cannot live without a princess.And me, why am I not afraid!If the princess abandons me, where should I play hide-and-seek with her, and playfully push her purple screen window from her back? In front of the princess, I was as small as Ulugh Beg, and I didn't want to grow up. The princess said that she loves children, and children are her life. Me, Shah Rug, Ulugh Beg, and Aylai, we grew up relying on her love, but no one can keep her by my side forever. She is Changshengtian's beloved child, and she will return to heaven with her beauty. Under my heartbroken gaze, amid Ulugh Beg’s panic-stricken weeping, the princess’s flower of life was withering little by little, and in less than three days, I saw Changshengtian’s arms open to her.

Shaharu finally failed to catch up with Princess Oeira for the last time. When he appeared in front of the princess, we had already changed the princess into a new, simple and elegant dress, light gray, dotted with some goose yellow florals.The princess always preferred light gray, so I made such a Mongolian robe for her out of silk.Unfortunately, she only tried it once, but never had a chance to wear it.When she was dying, she asked me to change this dress for her, because I made it with my own hands, and she wanted to take it away, just like taking away my love.We put on her a 罟罟 crown full of pearls and jade, which she brought from her homeland. She said that after she died, she would wear a yurt and a 罟罟 crown to be a real Mongolian woman. .

I gave the princess the most exquisite makeup.Every time I attended a banquet in the past, I would comb her hair, and then slightly trim her eyebrows, which she thought were too wide. Otherwise, she only applied a little makeup.Among the gorgeous flowers, she is like a holy snow lotus, blooming quietly and withering quietly. But now, for the first time, against the princess's wishes, I used blush and lipstick on her.Her face is too pale, her lips are too pale, I don't want her to look dead, I'd rather believe that she left me, this world, in a deep sleep. Ulugh Beg started to have a high fever since last night. I asked Sai to feed him medicine and stayed by his side to take care of him.When Shaharu and Ayilai hurried in, I was the only one guarding the princess.Ayilai took a look at my expression and understood everything, he knelt down silently, tears were running across his face like a rushing stream, but he didn't let himself utter a sob.

Shaharu's eyes once again showed the panic I was familiar with, but the panic was wiped away by him in an instant.He walked up to Princess Oeira, sat down, and held her hand.He trembled unknowingly, it must be the biting cold that made him tremble.He stared at the princess's face for a long time, which was as peaceful and serene as when he was alive.He just watched her like that, as quiet and serene as she was.The boy who cried loudly in the stream because of his love, and the man who leaned on the princess's chest to express his heartfelt words, are all gone. Shah Ru has become an old man in an instant, so old that he is no longer afraid of himself and others. die.

I understand that at this moment Shaharu is not so much seeing off the princess as he is seeing off the woman he loves the most in his life and himself who died with this woman. In the sky, even if his soul can only look at the beautiful figure of the princess from a distance, he will haunt the wind and gently brush her long hair. Everything can be changed, everything can be forgotten, only love can't. He left the body behind.He is the monarch of the people, the husband of his wives, and the father of his sons. He must stay and manage the huge empire left by his father, King Timur.During those years when his life and death were uncertain, he walked step by step from the city of Khale to the throne in Samarkand. It was the princess who stood behind him to support his courage, and the princess would not let him give up just like that. Would he still chant that poem that was half burned by him?Love my country with my solitude that dances with the wind... Now the lonely prince can only love his country more. Ulugh Beg's screams could be heard from the bedroom next to him, Sai hurriedly and gently comforted him, and he slowly calmed down.Shaharu suddenly remembered one thing, he hadn't seen his son yet. "Ulugh Beg, what happened to him?" "He was ill, and in the morning he passed out." "Painted out? Is it important?" "It's all right. The doctor came to see him and prescribed a few medicines. He was too tired and sad. For two whole days, he didn't eat or drink, and refused to leave the princess's side. Now, he needs to take a good rest. You can rest assured that Sai is taking care of him and he will be fine." "Oh, Aylai, go and see Ulugh Beg for me." "Yes. King Shahru." I watched Aylai leave, and Shahru called me. His voice made me feel strange, his voice was old and hoarse, revealing endless tiredness.I couldn't help but look back at him. We look at each other. "Cesia..." "how?" "When the princess passed away, did you leave me a message?" I took a letter out of my pocket and put it in his hand.The letter was dictated by the princess when she was dying, and I was asked to write it down and hand it to Shahru. I still remember the contents of the letter. The princess hoped that Shah Rug would take good care of Ulugh Beg for her. It was this child that she never forgot. In addition, she asked Shaharu to take care of me and Ailei.Especially me, she wants me to convert to Islam and marry Aylai.The princess told me that Changsheng Tian is not a belief, but a belief.I didn’t write down her sentence as it was, but I replaced it with: Shah Ruh, my beloved, please live well, for me, for Ulugh Beg, and for your country. Shah Ru held the letter in his hands, he lowered his head and kissed the light gray envelope, once again the endless loneliness and the emptiness lonelier than death flashed in his dark eyes.
