Chapter 67

After a sleepless night, my mind was filled with anger at Zhao Wu for so many years of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and with sympathy and sorrow for Lu Shi, who had run out of lamps and lanterns. Chu Yan finally closed her eyes and was half awake when her belly turned pale. Half asleep in chaos.

One can imagine how haggard his face was on the second day.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Chu Yan listened to Hanzhi's heartbroken talk about how she didn't cherish her body, while allowing her to smear herself with thick makeup.

In the end, he still sighed, "Too many fans, looks like a white-faced goblin."

She took out the veil and wiped some lightly, "Mother is sick like this, and everyone can understand that I am haggard. There is no need to deliberately cover up."

In this way, Chu Yan began to accompany Lu Shi through the last journey in the Zhao Mansion.

The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician was indeed effective. Although it could not save the dying life, at least it made Lu Shi breathe a sigh of relief and the pain was not so great.

Chu Yan fed her some porridge every day, and stayed by her side, talking about interesting things in the palace, and occasionally saw the smile in her eyes.

After a few more days, she could even speak, took Chu Yan's hand, and said with a smile, "With you by my side, mother will die without regret."

Chu Yan's eyes turned red, and she shook her head lightly, "Mother, don't say silly things, my daughter came back to see you get better, what are these unlucky words for?"

Lu Shi shook her head, smiled and wanted to reach out to touch her face, but Chu Yan quickly bent down, took her hand and touched herself.

She moved her withered and thin fingers lightly on Chu Yan's smooth and delicate skin, and finally said with a smile, "My good daughter..."

Born so charming, like the invincible apricot blossoms on the branches in spring.

This is Lu Xinyue's daughter, who is about to stand on the most glorious hall of the Xuan Dynasty, overlooking the world with the most honorable people.

She breathed a sigh of satisfaction, but suddenly began to vomit blood the next moment.

Chu Yan was startled. Seeing the bright red blood stains on her chest, she hurriedly hugged Lu Shi, then turned her head and shouted in panic, "Come on! Come on! Where is the imperial doctor? Madam is vomiting blood! Come on quickly!" what!"

Yunxi ran over in a hurry and saw that Lu Shi was still vomiting blood, her face turned pale with fright.

Hanzhi was fine, although he was a little flustered, but he could still maintain his composure and went to the front yard to ask for the imperial physician.

Chu Yan firmly held Lu Shi's hand, suppressed her panic, and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, you will be fine... Hold on, the imperial doctor will be here soon..."

She kept murmuring the phrase "It's going to be okay", but she didn't know whether she was comforting Lu Shi or herself.

But at this time, a person suddenly stepped in from outside the door, Chu Yan thought it was the imperial physician, and hurriedly turned to look, but unexpectedly, it was not the imperial physician Jiang who strode into the door, but——

Qin Yuanshan.

At this moment, Chu Yan's eyes were full of tears, there was no trace of calm on her usually calm and gentle face, and she panicked like a child.

Qin Yuanshan was also taken aback, and immediately didn't know what to say.

The concubine's mother was ill, and there was no need for the prince to condescend to visit him in person, not to mention that the prince was planning to marry the Mu family, so it was impossible for him to come to the Zhao residence in person.

But after all, Chu Yan hadn't returned to the palace for so many days, and the crown prince couldn't ignore it, so he sent him, the royal doctor, to visit the Zhao family in person on behalf of the crown prince.

But the fact is that even Qin Yuanshan himself doesn't know whether the prince sent him here to perfuse the Zhao family, or whether he is really worried about the princess.

But before leaving, the crown prince personally told him, "If she is in a bad mood, come here in person as soon as you come back..."

After hesitating again and again, he still sighed, "Forget it, after the condolences, go back to the mansion by yourself, there is no need to come back and report to me."

so what?
He was about to suppress the Zhao family, so could he personally go to the house to pick her up and comfort her this time?

Then what would Mu Qingzhuo think if he knew about it?What will the people in the court think?
Besides, even if the mother of the Crown Princess passed away, I have never seen the Crown Prince come to the mansion in person. It was just two sticks of incense on the mourning hall. Could it be that he violated the ancestral system?
And Qin Yuanshan never expected that when he came to express his condolences on behalf of the Crown Prince, it would be such a coincidence that he happened to see Lu vomiting blood.

Behind Qin Yuanshan were Zhao Yufeng and Zhao Pingyang. Zhao Qingyun was still under house arrest at this time, Chu Yan was not forgiven, and those who did wrong were naturally not forgiven.

Zhao Wu was not forgiven by Chu Yan because Zhao Ronghua secretly helped the prince, so he could not show up for a few days, but he ordered all the people in the mansion to treat Lu Shi well and do his best to let her go well this ride.

Seeing Lu's appearance like this, Zhao Yufeng hurriedly said, "Where's the imperial physician? Hurry up and invite the imperial physician!"

Zhao Pingyang couldn't bear to look back, he didn't look at the person on the bed, and sighed in his heart.

Then the servant girl murmured, "Sister Hanzhi has gone to ask the imperial physician."

Qin Yuanshan didn't look at Lu Shi, but stared blankly at Chu Yan's tear-stained face, suddenly at a loss for what to do.

He stepped forward and said to Yunxi, "Don't you help your wife up for your master?"

Only then did Yunxi come back to her senses, and while crying, she went to help Lu Shi up, seeing the blood still pouring out of her mouth, she was startled and frightened, and almost passed out.

Qin Yuanshan turned back and let the two maids at the door come in to take care of him. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently handed it to Chu Yan, "Your Highness."

Chu Yan didn't reach out to take it, and didn't care about the blood on her chest, she just squatted down and held Lu Shi's hand tightly, biting her lower lip, unable to speak a word.

She had never seen the scene of parting from life and death, but at this moment she realized that it turned out that this was the panic when the close relatives of flesh and blood were separated.

Even though she doesn't have much relationship with the woman in front of her, Lu Shi is her biological mother after all, and she can only feel the helplessness and fear slowly flowing in her heart.

Finally... Are you going to leave?

Physician Jiang hurried over, seeing Lu Shi like this, he already knew that she was going to die, immediately opened the medicine box and took out the pills and silver needles, and asked Chu Yan to let Lu Shi lie flat on the bed at the same time .

Chu Yan panicked and still squatted there without moving.

Qin Yuanshan ordered Hanzhi in a low voice, "Go and help His Highness over here."

Chu Yan then stood beside Qin Yuanshan with Hanzhi's support.

After all, life and death are not something she, a woman, can face alone.

Chu Yan laughed back in fear, she thought that after going through time travel and witnessing her own rebirth, she was already strong enough to watch all the joys and sorrows with a cold eye, because this is someone else's life, the real Zhao Chuyan's life, and she was just borrowing this The body lives its own life.

But when things came to an end, it turned out that she was already the same person as Zhao Chuyan.

Even if she can't fully understand the grief of losing her mother, she is destined to have a hard time.

Qin Yuanshan saw her losing control, and finally put the square handkerchief into her hands again, "His Royal Highness, this is not the time to be sad, Madam can't bear it anymore, you have to endure it, otherwise who will send Madam?" The last leg?"

Chu Yan's body shook, and then she slowly turned her head to look at him.

That face is as clear and gentle as ever, and there seems to be a firm and compassionate heart under the calm expression. His eyes are sympathetic and helpless, but they also have the power to calm people's hearts.

Like a peaceful lake in spring, like a warm morning sun in winter.

She took the square veil, wiped away her tears, closed her eyes, and finally regained her former calmness.

"Thank you."

She returned the handkerchief to him, and turned her head again to look at Lu Shi who had stopped vomiting blood under the imperial doctor's acupuncture. The last light in those eyes seemed to be gradually disappearing. She stretched out her hand weakly and gestured to Chu Yan. , and the imperial physician also turned around and looked at her.

"Ma'am... I have one last thing to say to Your Highness."

Chu Yan nodded, came to Lu's side, knelt down to hold her hand, and called mother.

Her eye sockets were still wet, but she didn't cry, and she knew that Lu Shi didn't want to see her cry either.

Lu smiled with difficulty, as if she was gratified by Chu Yan's strength, and finally said to her in a soft voice, "The most proud thing in my mother's life... is that she gave birth to you. Mother is incompetent, weak, Such a tragic... life, but you are different... your life can be brilliant..."

Chu Yan kept her eyes open, not letting the tears fall.

When a dying woman holds your hand and leaves her last words in this life, she is also thinking of you. Chu Yan knows that this love comes from a mother who loves her daughter deeply.

Lu's voice became weaker and weaker, and her eyes finally lost focus. Chu Yan heard her leave the last sentence unfinished as if she was muttering to herself, "Don't, don't believe...man...man... .”

The hand holding her was loosened suddenly, and Lu Shi's pupils were completely slackened.

At the same time, the maids in the room burst into tears, calling for Madam.

Chu Yan stood up blankly, feeling that it was amused in her heart.

In the past, no one regarded her as the wife of the Zhao family, because she was cowardly and incompetent. After being beaten by the concubine, she could only stay in this deserted courtyard with no fighting spirit, leading a miserable and barren life.

But today she died, the lady finally yelled out from the mouths of these maids, it turns out that the so-called real wife will not realize her value until the day she dies...

She stretched out her hand to help Lu Shi close her eyes, and murmured, "Mother, my daughter will help you through the last journey, don't worry."

She turned around, her eyes were still red, but there was no trace of sadness in her eyes, only quiet calm and peace remained.

If there is no justice in this world, then let her act for the heavens.

After Lu's death, the first thing the princess did as a daughter was to order someone to bring Zhao Qingyun and Wei's family to the firewood room.

Standing in front of the hall, Chu Yan looked at Zhao Qingyun, who was no longer dressed luxuriously and neatly as usual, and Wei Shi, who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and said expressionlessly, "Mother has already left, the next tent, Let me, the daughter, do the math for her."
