Playful Queen

Chapter 137

"Mother." Mengli's voice suddenly became hoarse when she opened her mouth. She lay on the bedside, looking at her mother's current appearance, she couldn't help the tears rolling in her eyes, but she told herself that she couldn't Crying in front of my mother, I can't make her worry too much about herself, "Li'er is back."

The mother waved her hand and motioned for everyone to retreat. There were only two people left in the big dormitory, and it was so empty that it made people panic. Perhaps it was because of the strong smell of medicine that was exuding from the surroundings, which made Mengli feel so bitter, and it spread all the way to All over her body, Yanxue stroked the daughter's hair with her feeble hand, her heart felt sorrowful, and she murmured weakly: "Mother may be dying."

"No, mother will definitely get better!" Mengli said excitedly. She once lost her grandfather who loved her the most. Although she came to this world, she knew that her mother was really good to her. There is no chance to repay this kindness.

A deep reluctance appeared on Yanxue's face, and she gently stroked her daughter's face: "Li'er, mother can only accompany you here..."

In fact, she couldn't bear Li'er, she stood up with difficulty, and wanted to get something, Meng Li immediately stopped her and said: "Mother, what do you want to take, Li'er will help you."

"There is a hidden compartment under Mother's dresser, take out the contents."

Mengli followed her mother's wishes and walked to the dressing table. After opening the bottom layer, she found a hidden compartment in which was something wrapped in a blood-red brocade. Mengli took it out and handed it to her mother.

Yanxue opened the blood-red brocade. Inside the brocade were some strange words that she couldn't understand. What's more special was the silver chain, the pendant looked like a lock, and there was a blooming lotus flower on it And the dense patterns made Mengli ask curiously: "Mother, what is this?"

"Li'er, you have to listen to what mother said clearly now."

Mengli nodded, "Mother, tell me, Li'er is listening."

"Li'er, in fact, you were not born by my mother. Back then, my mother adopted you because she was entrusted by others. I still remember the first time I hugged you when you were still a baby. You kept smiling at me when you were still a baby. I like you so much, time flies, I never thought that Li'er is so old now, so that even if I die, I have fulfilled my promise to him and have an explanation to him." Da furen said excitedly, with tears still shining in her eyes Guang, "All these years, mother has always regarded you as her own, and really loves you, ahem..."

At this moment, Mengli couldn't help but turn pale with shock. Mother actually said that she was not her own. At this moment, countless questions came to her mind. The moment of loss in her heart was also particularly touched. She was not her own. She could treat her so well. , Mengli grabbed her mother's hand and said: "Mother, no matter what, you are my mother and will always be, mother, don't talk, just rest first."

"No, let mother finish talking. If you don't say this, you won't have a chance in the future." Yan Xue's face became paler and paler, she put the thing in Mengli's hand, and held her tightly , "These things are left to you by your own mother. There is no mother in the world who is willing to abandon her child. Mr. said that your mother only wanted to save your life, so she gave you to him, and then he entrusted you to him." I, that gentleman has been a slave of the Shen family for 17 years, secretly teaching you martial arts, but when you were unconscious, he died of illness..." She didn't say this because she was always worried about her daughter after Li'er woke up. After knowing that she didn't remember the situation, she planned not to mention it, but today, she wanted to tell all of this.

"Before Mr. passed away, he said that in addition to this piece of brocade silk and chain, you need to find the painting of Blood Lotus to find out your real life experience. Not long ago, my mother sent someone to inquire about that painting. It is said that it may be in Xiahou Villa. , you have to find it back."

"Mother, I don't want to find any paintings." Mengli held her mother's hand tightly.

"Li'er, these things are very important. You will understand the relationship between them in the future, but don't let anyone know before that. If one day, you find that you want to leave the palace and have nowhere to go, go and find this place." The way to go home, mother has been hiding from everyone for so many years to let my husband teach you martial arts, it is also...cough cough...after mother..."

Mengli couldn't digest what her mother said for a while, but she remembered them all firmly. Seeing her mother dying, her heart ached, "Mother, don't say any more, Li'er will remember everything." Hold on, remember it all!"

"Ahem... Li'er, just treat it as your mother's wish. You must find that painting and do what you should do."

Mengli stood by the bed, quietly looking at her mother's pale face, tears flowed down her cheeks involuntarily, she really liked this mother, and also felt her love for her. She loves her deeply, even if it is not her own, she can do this, what else can she not do for her?Mother wants the blood lotus song, right?

"Li'er will definitely find that painting, mother, you should rest first."

"Mother is most worried about you and Ao'er. Remember, you have to take good care of yourself and look after Ao'er for mother..." Yan Xue lowered her voice as her black eyes became less and less bright. As if exhausted from talking too much, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

But when she closed her eyes, Mengli tested her breath. For a moment, Mengli felt as if a hole had been opened in her chest, and a cool breeze was pouring in slowly. Everything in the world seemed to stop at this moment.

Mengli felt that the temperature in her hands was getting colder and colder. Although this was not her real mother, she could feel it, her gentle eyes, and her gentle hands since the days when she was in contact with her. , doting on her words, calling her Li'er in a soft voice, being sued by Erniang when she woke up, being reprimanded by her father, her stepping forward, her reluctance and worry before entering the palace.All kinds of things made Mengli really feel that it is really good to have a mother, but now she is really lost, and her mother is really gone.

Dad rushed in excitedly, hugged mother tightly in the bag, and stared out of the window dully, no one knew what he was looking at...

Shen Yifeng held Meng Li, who had been holding the Da Furen's hand tightly, in his arms, letting her tears soak her clothes.

The cries of maidservants sounded from all around, and everyone rushed in, threw themselves there, and cried.

The mourning hall of the prime minister's mansion was set up overnight, and the coffin of the eldest lady was placed in the inner room.

All the people were immersed in grief. According to the custom of Jintian, after three days of lingering, the bones were cremated and buried directly, so as to show respect and memory for the dead.

The whole mansion was hung up with white silk, only then did I realize that the wider the place, the more deserted it was, which made people feel very sad.
