Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

"Do you have nothing to leave for him?"

This sentence made me feel a little lost for a while.

Is there anything left for him?

What else do I have to leave to him?

I should have said everything, I should have said almost everything I should not have said, I and he have come to this stage, starting with the grand wedding of that year, starting with him and other women tonight The grand wedding is the end. To be complete, no relationship can be more complete than such a start and end.

So, now that we have reached this point, what else should we say?

What else can we say?

However, looking at Han Zitong's terrified expression, he still grasped the door frame hard, and even nails were almost pierced into the wooden door, and his joints became white, as if there were thousands of words. Gushing out.

Yeah, he and I have been husband and wife for so many years and experienced so many things together. He gave me the life that so many women in the world yearn for. Go down ... Now that everything is over tonight, how could there be nothing to say?

Xiao Yusheng, who was standing beside me, waited for a while and seemed to feel something. He lowered his voice and said, "Miss, we have to go quickly!"

"..."

I looked up at him, and my eyes were a little unconscious. He said, "In case someone inside comes out, we really can't go."

"……Oh."

I promised, he grabbed his arm and turned to leave, and Han Zitong shouted unwillingly: "Yan Qingying!"

"..."

"Are you really saying nothing to him?"

"..."

My steps have followed Xiao Yusheng's, but every step is so heavy, as if filled with lead, tearing my body and soul, I took that heavy step, listening to her sad voice, and finally returned Overhead.

Looking at her, and behind her, Jinling Mansion shining with red lights in the night.

What I want to leave is not only a place, a mansion, a man's side, but also a piece of life that he and I have built together over the past few years.

What I want to leave is my life.

I watched Han Zitong's eyes blinking constantly in the night, watching the happy Jinling Mansion, watching this place where I remembered it, and slowly said--

"My heart is gone, so what's the matter?"

Han Zitong was startled and looked at me with wide eyes.

I finally glanced at her, and looked at the cloth next to the known general trend, unable to recover again, and the blood-stained corpse that was horizontal and vertical, finally turned around and walked away without looking back.

|

Jinling Mansion in the night was surrounded by a glow of red, as if the flame was constantly burning, accompanied by the lively conversations of those outside guests, and the sound of boiling music, it should have been a sea of ​​joy.

However, this place is cold and silent.

The bamboo leaves swayed by the wind in the night, and the rustling sound made the inner courtyard quieter and quieter. The rest was only one person's footsteps, one person's breath, one person's heartbeat.

The footsteps slowly walked in along the path in the forest, the closer to the quiet, empty house, the heavier the breathing, and the heavier the heartbeat.

But when I walked into the room, the breath disappeared and the heartbeat disappeared.

I saw the tall, handsome man in a red suit, who was always personable and appeared in front of people like a fairy. At this moment, he stood like a ghost in this empty room and faced The frost in the room was almost completely frozen on his face and in his eyes, but the coldness was not brought in the middle of the night, but spread out from the bottom of his heart, occupying him little by little. The whole person, then this room, this quiet inner courtyard.

Everything is frozen.

In that coldness, he slowly walked to the bed step by step.

Messy quilts, broken pillows, like that irreparable relationship, were completely broken and ruined tonight.

But I don't know what else can be picked up in such ruins.

He stretched out a shaking hand as if trying to catch something, but the convulsive fingers twitched, but slowly, gathered in the air and squeezed into a fist, without grasping anything.

Nothing caught.

The next moment, he suddenly raised his head, exhausted all his strength, and uttered a growl, and the sound was torn like a beast in despair, with a final wailing--

"Qing-baby-!"

...

"what!"

I sat up suddenly from the bed.

My heart was beating like thunder, and my breath was completely choked, as if I was strangling my throat. I panted hard, and there was a pain in my chest. I looked around with a trace of terror from my dream. .

Here, it was a strange room, and I was sleeping in a bed.

That was just now, everything I saw just now—is it a dream?

In my dream, I returned to Jinling House, the quiet inner courtyard, and I saw Pei Yuanxiu again. He even rushed back to the inner courtyard without taking off the groom's costume, but when he hurried back to there , But found that I had left, leaving only an empty room, and a mess, broken and left to him.

Is it a dream?

Am I dreaming of an unreal scene? Or did it all happen, and I just saw it in my dreams?

If it was a dream, why did everything seem so real? I seemed to really hear the sorrowful, desperate roar, as if I had exhausted all the hard work and hope of a person.

Even his pain and despair were completely passed on to my heart!

That roar, as if still in my ears, or even echoing in my head, the sound was endless, like a blunt knife, constantly cutting through my heart, leaving pain beyond words, words beyond words torment.

Is this what I left for him?

Thinking of this, the pain from my heart was more severe. I couldn't help but stretch my hand over my chest, but I couldn't resist the blunt pain that came from me. When I was struggling and suffering, I passed it suddenly There was a creak.

Turning around, the door was pushed open, and a familiar, slim figure came in from the outside.

The bed was surrounded by dense curtains. I could only see the figure clearly, but I could n’t see who was coming in, but the person saw me sitting on the bed at a glance, and suddenly screamed in surprise, hurriedly Ran over: "Lightness! Lightness, you wake up !?"

The voice is--

I opened my eyes wide, but before I had time to speak, the curtains had been opened, and a familiar face appeared in my sight.

"Lightness!"

"rue?"

I looked at the young woman standing in front of me in amazement, and it turned out to be Ruxiang! She was wearing a frosty skirt, her hair was neatly combed, and a simple bead was inserted obliquely on the bun, looking clean and elegant.

When she saw her, she suddenly felt that everything was so unreal, as if she was still trapped in a dream, but the familiar face and familiar smile actually appeared in front of my eyes, and even she reached out and held me Still from the cold hand, the touch was also true: "Yes, it's me, I'm Ruxiang!"

I was suddenly stupid.

At this moment, my mind suddenly remembered what happened before-Han Zitong fled with me and was stopped by Butu when he left Jinling Mansion from the back door; Xiao Wusheng suddenly appeared, he killed and left a place His body and blood; Xiao Yusheng appeared to rescue me ... but, when I finally got on the boat and left the boundary of Jinling, I was exhausted and fell asleep.

Why did Ruta appear in front of me as soon as I woke up?

where is this place? What about Xiao Yusheng and Xiao Musheng?

I looked around subconsciously, and then I saw a spacious and simple room in front of me. I was lying on a comfortable bed with a soft and dry quilt covering my body. As I stood up, the quilt was as soft as flowing water. It slipped softly, revealing my thin, slim body.

In the end-

Ruxiang looked at me with concern, as if relieved, and said, "You're fine."

"Rue, here, where is it?"

"Here? This is Jixiang Village."

"Auspicious village?"

My eyes widened in surprise: "This is Jixiang Village? Here-"

"Yes, that Xiao Xiao brought you here."

Xiao Xiaozi? Xiao Yusheng!

How could he take me to Jixiang Village?

Is it--

There was a flash of light in my mind, and the whole person was almost shocked, and Ruxiang had continued to say, "On the execution ground, it was the Xiao Xiao who rescued the third brother. After I separated from you, I looked at them I fled to a place, followed up, and later really met them on a small road. I was afraid that the people in the government came to catch them again, so I hid them in my embroidery box and went out of the city. Then they took them here. "

"..."

"Three brother, he seems to have suffered a cold while in jail, and his health has always been bad. When he came here, people were already sick, so they stayed here and let him take a break first."

My heart sank suddenly.

Is this Jixiang Village? Xiao Yusheng and they brought Liu Qinghan to Jixiang Village. Is this room--

However, when I looked up, I found out that this was not the home I was familiar with. After all, the home was a few humble houses. Although it was renovated later, it was just a little bit more clean and sturdy, without the comfort of this room.

So here it is--

Looking at my doubtful eyes, Ruxiang was also very alert, and said in a hurry: "This is the courtyard left by the big household in the village. As soon as they came, they rented it and lived here."

"..."

It turned out to be this way.

Although there are still some things that I do n’t know very well, Ruxiang said in a few words and basically explained what happened in these days, and I was relieved. After all, I have left Jinling, left there, yes For me, I can finally rest assured.

Not only was I relieved, Ruxiang also seemed relieved, just looking at my extra pale face and her bloodless lips made her worry, she comforted me a few words and immediately went to the door and ordered Outside, I don't know who prepared some hot soup for me. After the food was delivered, she carefully fed me a spoonful of spoonfuls, and wiped the corners of my mouth with a papa while eating.

Although she was so gentle and considerate, I still had some tangles in my heart, and my chest was stuffy. After a few mouthfuls, I could not eat.

She persuaded me a few words and saw that I really had no appetite and was no longer reluctant. She put the rest on the table and poured me a cup of tea. After I took a few sips, my face finally recovered. Scarlet, she slowly sat down on the edge of the bed again, gently rubbing some messy hair on my face behind my ears. I held my tea cup and looked up, and met her tenderly, with infinite care, and even a touch of pitying eyes, she said gently: "Lightness, you-you escape from there Come out, right? "

"..."

"I, too, I heard that they got married yesterday ..."

She stammered, watching her face carefully as she said, but before she finished speaking, she saw that I had just used soup and rice and drank a few sips of hot tea, and finally managed to make a rosy complexion Suddenly pale, he immediately said, "I, I won't say it, you must not be sad!"

"..."

My hand holding the tea cup was slightly hard, but I couldn't suppress the uncontrolled ripples of the tea inside, and spilled some on the back of my hand. Fortunately, it was not too hot.

I pursed my lips and said gently, "I'm fine."

"Lightness ..."

"I'm really okay," said, and I raised my head to smile a little at her, but maybe it was because her face was too pale and her lips were bloodless. This smile was reflected in her eyes, It seemed so pale and weak, and I lowered my head again, and slowly said, "He didn't hide from me. I knew this already."

The sorrow of rue was already in her eyes: "then you—"

"Forget it," I said with a smile, "I don't want to mention these anymore, anyway, now that I've been here, Jinling's affairs have nothing to do with me."

"..."

Ruxiang looked at me, her face and eyes were slightly heavy, as if she said nothing but stopped her. I watched her look different, and said gently, "What's wrong?"

"..."

"What happened?"

"..."

She looked at me for a while, then slowly said, "Lightness, it doesn't matter."

"Ok?"

"You don't know, since last night, there was a lot of movement over Jinling. Before the day was bright, a lot of ships were sent over there to cross the river."

"what?!"

"People in Yangzhou government seemed to see something wrong and immediately blocked the river surface. They almost fought."

"...!"
