After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of Hunjun

Chapter 57 Death of Xu Jiuer

Lin Zhiyu held the bottle of medicine and had no intention of handing it to her.

"Liu'er, I want to eat cherries. Can you go get some for me?" Xu Jiu'er pursed her lips and said to Liu'er.

Liu'er seemed to be fixed there, not moving at all: "The cherries now are too ripe and are not the best time to eat them."

This is the first time Liu'er has disobeyed Xu Jiu'er. She is really afraid that when she comes back, Xu Jiu'er will be gone.

Seeing that she was still unmoved, Xu Jiuer also adopted a rare tone of voice that could not be criticized: "Aren't you going to listen to me now?"

Liu'er then stamped her feet, held back her tears, and hurried out.

Xu Jiuer held Lin Zhiyu's hand holding the medicine bottle, gently opened Lin Zhiyu's fingers, smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "Instead of being miserable and lonely, waiting to die in Chengen Temple, I would rather It’s better to find a more comfortable way to die, sister, what do you think?”

She poured the small brown pill into the palm of her hand and heard the singing of Buddhist scriptures coming from outside.

"Liu'er is a sensitive person. I have to trouble my sister to take care of her more in the future." Xu Jiu'er turned to look in the direction Liu'er was leaving, with a trace of reluctance in her eyes, "I don't blame her."

when--

The monk rang the bronze bell hanging in Chengen Temple, which symbolized peace and auspiciousness.

"According to tradition, when the blessing ceremony is about to end, the bell has to be rung three times, right?"

Lin Zhiyu nodded numbly.

Xu Jiuer swallowed the pill and said in a surprised voice: "It's actually sweet, like a sugar pill."

"When I was young, I had a brother who came to my house as a guest and scared me every day. When I started crying, he reluctantly took out candy to cheer me up."

"His eyes are also very beautiful, like stars. Unfortunately, I was locked up at home and prepared to enter the palace, and I will never see him again."

when--

The second bell rings, which means everything will go well.

"Sister, the first time I saw you, I felt very cordial, as if we had known each other for a long, long time."

We have met twice, but both times, we could not save you.

The tip of Lin Zhiyu's nose was a little sore, and she felt like something was stuck in her throat, making her choke uncomfortably.

In her last life, she was in the cold palace and could not stay with Xu Jiu'er. However, in this life, she had to witness her death with her own eyes. Lin Zhiyu felt as if the two fates overlapped at this moment.

The medicine gradually took effect, and Xu Jiuer felt that she had some strength in her body. The headache that had been lingering on her for a long time also disappeared, but her head felt a little dizzy and she felt sleepy.

Lin Zhiyu supported Xu Jiu'er and asked her to lie down in a comfortable position.

Xu Jiu'er's eyelids became heavier and heavier, her eyes looked blankly at the air in front of her, and she suddenly smiled with relief: "Dad, mother..."

when--

The third bell finally rang, begging the gods for protection, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.

Xu Jiuer also closed her eyes completely.

At the same time, Liu'er also hurriedly held a bowl of ripe cherries and threw them in front of Xu Jiu'er like a gust of wind.

She panicked and stuffed the bright red cherries into Xu Jiu'er's hands, which were getting cold: "Mother, the cherries are here, the cherries are here, please open your eyes and take a look."

It was a pity that Xu Jiu'er could no longer sit up and joked with Liu'er as usual.

She looked up at Lin Zhiyu at a loss, and the latter shook his head gently at her.

Liu'er, who finally understood what had happened, suddenly calmed down when facing Xu Jiu'er, who was lying quietly on the bed. There were no tears or words. As if he accepted it all at once, he rearranged the bowl of cherries. Placed it on Xu Jiuer's bedside.

Seeing Liu'er's look, Lin Zhiyu was a little worried. After a long silence, she said, "Jiu'er said that she doesn't blame you and hopes that after she leaves, you can find a good home. Do you want to follow me?" Liu'er shook his head and said, "Thank you very much, Miss, for your kindness, but I have made up my mind before that I will only serve my master as the empress in my life. After the empress is buried, I will invite myself to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Seeing that Liu'er was not looking for life and death like she did in her previous life, Lin Zhiyu felt a little relieved.

Soon the news of Xu Jiuer's death reached Zhou Tingchen's ears.

He did not come over to take a look, but ordered people to bury Xu Jiuer's body in the imperial mausoleum.

For Xu Jiu'er, this is a cage that traps her for the rest of her life. Even after death, her soul cannot return to her hometown.

Lin Zhiyu stood at a distance, watching the palace servants hurriedly cleaning up, feeling unhappy in every way.

"By praying for blessings, are you praying for blessings or misfortunes?" She murmured unconsciously.

"It's just the human heart."

Lin Zhiyu turned around and saw that it was Zhou Zijin who was speaking.

He had also heard about what happened in the past few days. Faced with Lin Zhiyu's distracted look, he didn't know how to deal with it as he rarely dealt with women, so he had to stand behind her and accompany her silently.

"I will set off directly with the army later. Before I come back, you have to take good care of yourself." Zhou Zijin paused and said with relief, "This battle is not difficult, but it is for the Xirong who frequently harasses the border. It’s just a show of force.”

The wind brought the refreshing scent of cedar to Zhou Zijin's body, which had a reassuring power.

Lin Zhiyu turned around and saw that the originally empty place was filled with soldiers in armor. The leader was a man with a cold face and thick eyebrows, who must be Jiang Sheng.

Eunuch Zhang came to urge us: "Third Prince, it's time to leave."

Zhou Zijin nodded, as if he wanted to say something more to Lin Zhiyu. His eyes always caught sight of Lin Zhiyu's hands folded on his chest, but he swallowed the words before he reached his lips.

The two stopped talking until Eunuch Zhang reminded him again, and Zhou Zijin turned around and left.

Lin Zhiyu also got into the carriage with Lin Xiaolian's help.

"The third prince is really reluctant to leave the young lady."

Lin Xiaolian's condition has improved a lot today, and she is willing to make some harmless jokes with Lin Zhiyu.

As the whip fell, the carriage slowly drove towards the palace.

But something was strange today. The carriage Lin Zhiyu was riding in was not very fast, and even tended to lag behind.

Lin Zhiyu opened the car curtain, and the dust from the wheels in front made her cough repeatedly.

"Miss, you'd better lower the curtain, don't let the heat outside come in."

The summer was hot, so the palace officials also placed some ice cubes under the chairs of the carriage for the nobles to cool down.

"Let Qiaoxiu come in, it's too hot outside, so don't get a heatstroke." Lin Zhiyu leaned tiredly on the cushions.

When they got on the bus, Qiaoxiu insisted on sitting in the front, saying that the eunuch who was driving the bus had a sly look and always felt like he was not a good person.

Lin Xiaolian shouted outside. The sound of the wheels was probably too loud, so Qiaoxiu didn't hear it.

Lin Xiaolian had no other choice but to bow down, lift the curtain and go out.

At this moment, there was the sound of wood breaking. Lin Zhiyu, who was sitting in the car, was dizzy. Before he could react, his whole body fell against the wall of the car with the inertia.

Before Lin Xiaolian and Qiao Xiu in the front could finish their words, they saw the carriage behind them break apart. In desperation, Qiao Xiu pulled Lin Xiaolian over, rolled sideways, and jumped out of the carriage.

The two fell heavily to the ground, but they saw the front wheel of the carriage hit a big rock. The center of gravity was unstable and it fell straight down the hillside!
