Playful Queen

Chapter 52

"Don't talk about me, don't worry, I will still insist! By the way, Li'er, do you still remember what you told me about Yunxi being different?"

Meng Li was confused again, and asked in bewilderment: "I said Yun Xi is different?"

"Two years ago, you and Yun Xi were close and good sisters. You also said that if two people fell in love with someone at the same time, they should compete fairly and would never hurt each other. But since that happened, you two Not only did the relationship fade away, but you also told me that Yunxi was not Yunxi anymore, I didn't believe it at the time, I thought you were jealous of the emperor's brother liking Yunxi, but when I came back this time, I also began to feel that she..."

"Wait, what happened two years ago? What is it?" What Zi Xuan said was really exciting.

Zixuan didn't think too much about it, because before she came back, she heard that Mengli had lost some memory because she fell off the horse, so she said the matter without doubt: "The kidnapping of two thousand gold from the Xia family in two years, one month later , Yun Xi was rescued, but Yun Shang died..."

Mengli looked at Zixuan and asked curiously: "Why haven't I heard of this person?"

"Xia Yunshang's concubine daughter was born, and her mother died early. Except for you and Yun Xi who treated her well, Xia's residence would not care about her. Later, I heard that the body was thrown by gangsters on the cliff, and only Xia Xuanlie sent someone to find her. After a few days without success, no one mentioned it again.”

It turned out that the Xia family also had a daughter named Xia Yunshang. After hearing this, Mengli thought about what Xi'er said to her that day, and began to feel weird in her heart, so she asked, "Xuan'er, do you know Do you know that Yun Xi can't dance?"

"She was born in poor health, so of course she can't dance anymore. What Yun Xi is best at is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can only learn some quieter things... However, I heard that Yun Xi met a genius doctor in the past two years Give her treatment, the old disease is already cured..."

Long illness cured?Mengli fell into deep thought, and always felt that there was some subtle connection between them...

Zixuan looked at Mengli's expression of serious thinking, as if she had seen through something, she blinked and said, "Mengli, I also found something..."

"Huh?" Meng Li raised her eyes and hummed suspiciously.

"You seem to be different from before..." Is it because of the incident of falling from the horse?Thinking of this, Zixuan felt very sorry. She didn't stay by her side to help her back then, causing her to be bullied by Xia Xuanlie's boy!
At this moment, Xi'er hurried in, "Ma'am, the young master is here."

Shen Aoyun is here?Zixuan jumped up from the stool like a frightened deer, "Why didn't you tell me that Cousin Aoyun is coming?"

She even forgot that she was going to visit her sister-in-law's grave with her eldest brother today. It seemed that she had forgotten the time while chatting with Zixuan, and her eldest brother came to her after waiting at the palace gate for a long time.

Before Mengli could explain, Zixuan looked at the person who was about to walk in, and said nervously, "I will borrow your room, don't say I'm here!" and hid in her inner room, Mengli looked at her With a cute appearance, I can't help but smile, this is Princess Changning Zixuan, she is really a lovely girl...

On a secluded hillside outside the west of the city, the autumn wind blows Buddha, slightly chilly, with withered and fallen leaves, drifting past in front of the stone tablet, the gray stone tablet clearly engraved, the tomb of his beloved wife Shen, Shen Aoyun, dressed in white, Slender and slender, with a face like a crown of jade, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, her innocent fingers rested on the white jade flute, and she sat on the ground. On the side, looking at the big brother leaning against the stone tablet, I felt as if I was infected by this bleak music...

I don't know how long it took before Shen Aoyun took her into the bamboo hut next to the grave. I heard that the elder brother lived by the grave for a year after his sister-in-law died, so it should be this.

The small bamboo house is brightly lit, but it is so simple that there is only a table, a chair and a narrow bed.

No matter who would have guessed that the emaciated man in front of him is the eldest son of Shen, General Shen Aoyun, the commander of the left wing army.

A man who was once extraordinary, handsome, and with a bright future gradually became heartbroken because of the death of his wife, living in this world like a soulless shell, the only thing that can make him have passion Yes, nothing like the moment when the sword was swung on the battlefield. Mengli heard that the elder brother on the battlefield completely disregarded his own life. Looking at the knife wound on his body, he knew that he was begging for death!
Thinking of this, Mengli frowned tightly, retracted her thoughts, and said, "Brother, I heard from my parents that after you came back, you haven't lived at home?"

Shen Aoyun put Bai Yuxiao aside and poured a glass of water, "You know? Rou'er is most afraid of the dark, and afraid of being alone. I haven't come to see her this year. Now I just want to spend more time with her. Wait I don't know how long it will take for the next expedition..."

What kind of woman would sister-in-law be to make this man like this?How deep is this love?If he died, there shouldn't be a man doing this for him, at least Du Wenkai wouldn't, he should be holding someone else in his arms now, but would there be such a person in this world?
Shen Aoyun seemed to see her sister's thoughts, and gently stroked the hair on her forehead with her slender fingers. This is the sister he has always loved, but when such a big event happened, he was not by his side, "Li'er, I I don't deserve to be your elder brother, my elder brother didn't protect you when I was bullied, and I couldn't even send you off for such a big thing as getting married..."

"I was bullied not because of you, so what if I can't get married? Brother, don't live in self-blame all the time! Don't take responsibility for sister-in-law's death." Meng Li really couldn't stand Shen Aoyun's innocent look. Looking angry, she stood up and said, "Well, even if sister-in-law's death has something to do with you, what can you make up for if you go on like this? I don't think sister-in-law wants to see you like this, she hopes you can live a good life , Cherish your own life, cherish the people around you..."

Shen Aoyun raised his eyes and was indeed shocked by his sister's words. Meng Li patted his brother on the shoulder and sighed, "One must learn to look forward, let the past pass by, don't miss the person in front of you... "She really wanted to talk about Zixuan, but after thinking about it, she stopped and said, "Brother, I have time to go home and see my parents, so I'll go first."

After Meng Li left, Shen Aoyun picked up the white jade flute, rubbed it gently with his slender fingers, opened his lips slightly, and murmured: "Rou'er, wait for me, let me see that Li'er gets After happiness, I will go to accompany you..." Shen Aoyun lightly raised his eyes, looking at the gradually fading figure outside the window...
