Sui Sui Jianing

Wei Jiusi slept for a long time, and she had many bizarre dreams. In the dream, she and Gongsunye reconciled as before, and none of the concealment and betrayal happened.

But the moment he opened his eyes and saw Concubine Xian, Wei Jiusi burst into tears.

A dream is a dream after all, no matter how beautiful it is, there will be a day of sobriety.

"Jiusi——" Concubine Xian held Wei Jiusi's hand so tightly and tremblingly, weeping with joy and lingering fear.

"Mother Concubine..." Wei Jiusi froze for a moment when she opened her mouth, her voice was so hoarse that she could barely hear her voice.

Concubine Xian touched her thin face distressedly, "It's all over, you have to be well."

Wei Jiusi smiled lightly, but his lips were trembling, "Well, it's all over."

Gongsunye... just treat it as a dream of hers.

The seventh prince hurried over after receiving the news, hugged Wei Jiusi and cried again, and was finally pulled away by Concubine Xian, "Your sister is weak now, the imperial doctor said that you should not have too much emotional ups and downs, and you should rest well."

The Seventh Prince clenched his fists with red eyes, and suddenly knelt down.

Concubine Xian Gui and Wei Jiusi were startled, Concubine Xian Gui stretched out her hand to help him, "What are you doing?"

The seventh prince avoided her hand, his eyes were firm, his voice was hoarse, "Concubine Mother, Sister Huang, if you can't protect your family by reading poetry and books, what's the use of reading these books?"

Concubine Xiangui and Wei Jiusi looked at each other, Wei Jiusi hesitated and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I'm going to join the army and go to the border to practice." The Seventh Prince's eyes were shining brightly, "When I practice martial arts and get military merits, no one will be able to bully you and the concubine mother."

Wei Jiusi's heart became hot, and she couldn't help crying again. She sniffed and choked up, saying, "Fool, you can protect us even if you don't use military merit, why bother to suffer that?"

The Seventh Prince shook his head: "It's not the same. Only with military power can I have confidence. Otherwise, if I encounter this kind of thing again, I can only hide behind the crowd and stare blankly. I don't want to be so useless."

Without waiting for Wei Jiusi and Concubine Xian Gui to persuade him again, he kowtowed heavily and said in a loud voice: "I beg my mother, concubine and imperial sister to be fulfilled!"

Wei Jiusi pursed his lips tightly, his eyes showing a look of struggle.

Concubine Xian is also hesitating.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, "Since he has such a heart, why not let him be fulfilled? How many people are pursuing a man who has made great achievements and made his name go down in history?"

Wei Jiusi's eyes lit up, "Jianing!"

Chu Wuhen supported Xie Shuangge to come in, Xie Shuangge couldn't wait to run into the hall, his legs felt weak when he moved a bit, and he almost tripped over the threshold, Chu Wuhen was startled, grabbed her arm, and said helplessly: "Slow down!" Some, the eldest princess can't run away."

Xie Shuangge couldn't listen to these things at all now, and his heart was full of Wei Jiusi.

She stumbled and ran in, but when she met Shang Wei Jiusi's eyes, she couldn't move anymore, her eyes met, countless words came to her mouth, but she was still preempted by tears.

"You scared me to death. I thought you didn't want us anymore." Xie Shuangge's speed suddenly picked up again, and she rushed to the bedside and hugged Wei Jiusi.

Wei Jiusi also hugged her tightly, Wei Jiusi could still pretend to be a little bit when facing his concubine mother and younger brother, but she had nothing to hide in front of Xie Shuangge, nor did she want to hide.

The two hugged each other, even though they didn't say anything, they both understood each other's thoughts, and only cried bitterly.

Concubine Xiangui wanted to go forward to persuade her, but was stopped by Chu Wuhen, who said in a low voice: "Holding it all the time is not the answer, it would be better to vent it out."

"That's right." Concubine Xian Gui sighed and said to the Seventh Prince: "Get up, I promise to join the army, and I will tell your father later."

"Thank you mother!"

The Seventh Prince stood up excitedly, and sat with Chu Wuhen to listen to him talk about the frontier.

After crying, Wei Jiusi's mood became much more stable. Although her eyes were swollen, she was in good spirits. She noticed the bright red clothes on Xie Shuangge's body, and suddenly remembered something: "You -- are you married?"

"Yeah, you didn't come to the big wedding yesterday." Xie Shuangge wiped away tears, and Wei Jiusi immediately said guiltily: "I wish I had woken up earlier. This is the only time in my life, and I missed it."

"It's okay, you didn't have time to attend my wedding, I can attend yours, the same."

"I..." Wei Jiusi lowered his eyes and smiled wryly, "How can I get married?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xie Shuangge said disapprovingly: "Gongsun Ye is not a thing, you can't let him delay your whole life, the fault is that he is not you, how can you punish yourself with his fault?"

She held Wei Jiusi's sign language and said earnestly: "Uncle named you the eldest princess of Jiade. Both the crown prince's cousin and the fifth cousin survived. The concubine Xian is now a noble concubine. She is in charge of the sixth palace, and Xiaoqi is also the eldest." When you grow up, you can still beat that bastard to vent your anger on you, you have a lot of good days, why should you trap yourself?"

Wei Jiusi was stunned, everything was too hasty after waking up, before she had time to ask in detail, when Xie Shuangge mentioned it, she asked.

Xie Shuangge told the story in detail.

After hearing this, Wei Jiusi sighed again and again, "Where is the Chuan Guo Yuxi?"

The Seventh Prince and Concubine Xian Gui also looked over, they were also curious.

Xie Shuangge smiled, and looked at Chu Wuhen. Chu Wuhen thought for a moment and said, "Since Jianing can find him, it must be related to Jianing or someone around Jianing."

"That's right," Xie Shuangge smiled, "At that time, I thought that my uncle respected my mother so much. Since the Chuanguo Yuxi was not in the palace, would it be in the Princess's mansion? I asked Xin Zhi and Cong Shangyun to go back and look for it. A recessed hole was found behind the plaque of Princess Dingchang's mansion, and the Chuanguo Yuxi was hidden in the hole."

Wei Jiusi was stunned: "Hiding behind the plaque? This... I'm afraid I can't even think of it."

Concubine Xian laughed: "Don't talk about you, Mei... The Mei family and Wei Jiuyuan couldn't think of it either. I heard that they have searched the imperial tombs. It's God's will."

If it is not clear about the sister-sibling relationship between the emperor and Princess Rongding, I would never have thought of this level.

Mei was suspicious, so she told her that she might not even believe that brothers and sisters in this world could be so close.

"That's right, God's will is on our side." Xie Shuangge said with a smile, "Now that the Chuan Guo Yuxi has been passed on to the crown prince's cousin by my uncle, I should have made up my mind not to waver this time."

Wei Jiusi nodded: "Looking at the entire royal family, the ability and the mind of the emperor are among the best, and this position must belong to him. After this incident, the relationship between the father and the empress may be eased."

Xie Shuangge nodded, "Probably."

"What about southern Xinjiang? Where's Zhou's army? Have they all retreated?" Wei Jiusi worriedly held Xie Shuangge's hand.

Xie Shuangge comforted: "Don't worry, the new king of southern Xinjiang, Bailigan, has been killed by Wuhen. The dragons in southern Xinjiang have no leader, and civil strife has resumed. The princes who have been suppressed before immediately divided up Bailigan's power. In the depths of the desert, I have to bow my head and surrender, and I won't do it again in the past ten years."

"As for the state of Zhou," Xie Shuangge sneered, "they have big ambitions and want to reap the benefits of the fishermen, but they didn't expect that the southern border was defeated so quickly, and the indemnity was re-established and the covenant was renewed before Gongsunye was exchanged. Break down again."

Hearing this, Wei Jiusi's hanging heart finally fell back into his chest. Dayan and Zhou Guo didn't fight, so he didn't have to be this sinner, and he felt less guilty.

"As for whether Gongsunye will be rejected when he returns to the State Council of Zhou, it has nothing to do with us. I'm only happy if he doesn't live well." Xie Shuangge stroked Wei Jiusi's hair and said in a low voice: "Our Jiusi is so good. , deserve better people."

Wei Jiusi smiled but said nothing.

She doesn't care about whether it's worth it or not. A fruitless love affair has consumed her too much energy. Whether she will fall in love with another person in this life is still unknown.

Xie Shuangge also needed to rest, so she didn't stay here for too long. After seeing Wei Jiusi drank the medicine, she left with Chu Wuhen to visit the queen mother in the harem.

Later, the emperor, empress, prince, and other princes and concubines came to visit Wei Jiusi one after another. Wei Jiusi cheered up and talked for a while. Concubine Xiangui saw that she was sleepy, so she sent everyone out.

Wei Jiusi squinted for a while, when someone approached in a daze, she opened her eyes and saw that it was her maid Luo Ying.

"Princess, this is a letter sent by Gongsun Ye. The slave girl thought that there might be a break between you and him, so she sent the letter. Do you want to read it?"

Wei Jiusi woke up suddenly. She sat up and looked at the familiar handwriting on the letter, and her heart was rippling again.

She was silent for a long time, when Luoying thought that Wei Jiusi didn't intend to ask for the letter, Wei Jiusi said in a hoarse voice, "Give it to me."

Luoying sighed, handed over the letter and withdrew.

Wei Jiusi clutched the envelope and exhausted all his courage to open it.

The familiar handwriting came into view, and all the moments in the past flooded my mind.

"Xiao Siqin said: I wrote a thousand words, but when I put them down, I froze for a moment. I wanted to say a lot, but you probably didn't want to hear it. But parting is imminent, so I should say something. I was a concubine in the state of Zhou, but I was very favored. The relationship with the royal brothers is also good. Back then, I came to Dayan as a hostage. I asked for it on my own initiative. I don't want to be a mediocre prince for the rest of my life. I want to find a way out for Da Zhou and fight for myself.

Wei Jiusi pursed his lips tightly, trying to hold back the tears, so that he could see more clearly.

"So I put on a mask and lied that my appearance was damaged. I didn't dare to have too many letters with Zhou Guo for many years in Dayan. In the years when I didn't know you, I knelt down in the direction of Zhou Guo alone every year and festival. , I only hope that one day I can return to my motherland in glory."

"God favored me and sent you to me. Before that, I never thought of using you and my marriage. I really like you, but this love has been mixed with deception from the beginning, so I expected There will be such a day, it's just a fluke, thinking that if I treat you better and if you love me a little more, will you be able to expose all the filth?"

A tear fell on the letter paper, and the word "love" became blurred and blurred.

"I was wrong. I was obsessed with obsession. Now the failure of the plan is my retribution. Dayan has no place for me to stand. Zhou Guo pays for my land. After I go back, my life will not be easy. I am suddenly glad that you don't have to suffer with me. , although I am not qualified to say these words now, I still want you to be well."

"I'm sorry, Xiao Si, I hurt you deeply, but I hope you don't forget me. If possible, can you come and see me off for the last time? I'll wait for you at the long pavilion outside the city."

Wei Jiusi subconsciously got out of bed and walked out, but the moment her hand touched the door, she woke up suddenly, and the letter paper fell to the ground.

In what capacity is she going?
Since you want to break up, break it up cleanly, and stop giving each other delusional thoughts.

She still loves him, but she will not forgive him. In this life, they will stop here.

She closed her eyes, maybe because she saw too many people during the day, after Xie Shuangge left, the emperor and the empress came again, and she cried again, but now she wanted to cry but had no tears.

She gave a low laugh, picked up the two pieces of paper, hesitated for a long time, finally put them in the oil lamp, and burned them completely.

Seeing the last ashes fall, Wei Jiusi closed his eyes and said softly, "Farewell, Brother Gongsun."

After standing still for a long time, she fell to the ground, covering her face and weeping silently.

……

The night was cool, and the guards persuaded him several times, but Gongsun Ye didn't move.

Until the sky turned white, the last light in his eyes went out, he stood up with scars all over his body, bowed three times in the direction of Jindu, and said in relief: "Let's go."

The morning light pierced through the clouds and fell behind him, covering the entire Jindu.
