These two hours were the most tormenting moments in my life.
I thought of one winter in the capital, when snow fell suddenly in the capital. I was trapped in the palace by the heavy snow and couldn’t go home. I didn’t return to the princess’ residence for two days. Unexpectedly, that night, Song Langsheng appeared in front of me, all covered in snow.
I asked him in surprise: "It's snowing so hard, why are you here?"
The snow was so thick that it didn't cover the wheels of the carriage. How did he get here?
He sneezed several times and muttered unhappily, "You're not going home."
I hugged him like an ice cube, and said with both distress and joy: "Consort, you really..."
What a fool.
Maolin pushed open the door and said quietly: "Young master is fine, but luckily the arrow missed the key position, and it should be fine for a few more days of recuperation."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They did not dare to enter the house to disturb them, and continued to guard outside the house to prevent the pursuers from finding them. Seeing me stand up, Maolin hesitated for a moment, "Princess, come in."
I passed him and entered the room. At this time, Song Langsheng was sleeping quietly with his eyes closed, his breath weak.
I sat beside him slowly, staring at his face quietly, under the long eyelashes is a quiet look, this look is neither like the thunderous and resolute Dali Siqing in the past, nor a chaotic minister with evil intentions The thief, all of his things are unpredictable and intangible, but he will always be attracted unconsciously, intoxicated without knowing it.
I suddenly felt a little absurd. The princess who was in charge of the country was hiding in this dilapidated hut with the rebel consort, while the rebels were guarding the door to protect their safety.
At this time, Xiu Zhu came out of the back room and was not surprised to see me sitting beside the room. He took care of himself and washed the blood in his hands with a basin of clean water, and I let out a long sigh, "Thank you, Xiu Zhu. "
Xiu Zhu was stunned, "No need, it is my duty to save the Young Master..."
"Thank you for allowing me to come and hear the news that he is safe and sound." I bowed my head, "From your point of view, it's not bad that you didn't kill me."
When Song Langsheng passed out just now, someone even wanted to chop me up with a knife. Xiu Zhu not only stopped him, but also told them that the young master meant to let me go.
But I insisted on coming with them here.
"I'm just doing things according to the young master's wishes. On the contrary, from the princess' point of view, I didn't take the opportunity to kill the girl, which is also very good." Xiu Zhu smiled lightly, he himself was injured on his leg, and left. It was not easy to get up, so I asked him, "How is the honey picking?"
"I'm in a coma, but..." Xiu Zhu looked back at the back room, he meant something, and there was something in his words, "You should wake up sooner or later."
I nodded absentmindedly, "Yeah, I should wake up sooner or later."
"Is the princess referring to collecting honey or the young master?"
I seemed to wake up from sleepwalking, "I'm talking about myself."
It's time to wake up from this big dream.
At the time of life and death, everything follows the original heart, just to have no regrets and no regrets.
After life and death, everything is restored as before, and what should be faced has to be faced.
No matter what the reason is, no matter what is true or false, now, no one can change anything, and nothing can be saved.
Just as I was born as Princess Xiangyi, his status as the imperial heir of the previous dynasty will never change.
We can't go back to the past, and there can be no future.
No one can bridge this gap.
Even if I start to believe him.
Believe that he loves me, that he never wants to hurt me.
Xiuzhu seemed to understand what I said, but he didn't seem to understand anything. He said, "We will leave with the young master when it's dawn, but this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to bring the princess with me."
I nodded, "I know."
Seeing that I was so casual, Xiu Zhu was a little surprised, "The princess doesn't have anything for me to tell the young master?"
tell? Tell him what? Tell him, I already believed that he did not poison me at that time, but I was poisoned after all, I am afraid that I will not live for a few more days? Or tell him that on the top of the mountain back then, the person I confessed to was him?
If it hadn't been through tonight, maybe I would.
But when I saw his heart, how could I have the heart to break it again?
Thinking of this, I smiled somewhat relievedly, "Tell him, I was taken hostage by you, and although I was trying to save his life, it was also for the sake of the past. Now he is safe and sound. , when the soldiers meet each other in the future, no one needs to stay face to face."
Xiu Zhu looked at me with a strange look, "Does the princess really want me to convey this?"
I said, "This is the truth."
Xiu Zhu was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Actually, sometimes, you think you are doing good for others, but if you wronged yourself, how can the people who cherish you really be good."
My heart trembled, but he couldn't say anything more after all, looking up at the snowflakes flying outside the window, falling from the boundless void, "Plum blossom snow, pear blossom moon."
I looked at him blankly.
"One time, the young master suddenly recited this poem." He smiled, and he didn't know why. "I didn't understand it at first. Today, it seems to be clear."
"Plum blossom snow, pear blossom moon, always lovesick..."
"It's natural that chūn knows it without realizing it."
I recited this poem unconsciously, like a wind, gently blowing through my heart pool, which was like stagnant water, and ripples appeared.
Plum blossoms in the snow, pear blossoms under the moon, lovesickness never ends.
The days when we were together passed by without knowing it, and it was only when we were separated that we felt inseparable from each other.
In the second half of the night, Song Langsheng's fever gradually subsided after taking the medicine. After he calmed down, the fatigue of the day came along. I don't know when I fell asleep beside his bed.
I slept peacefully that night, I haven't had such a good night's sleep in a long time.
The cold snowflakes were swept into the house by the wind and landed on my cheeks. When I opened my eyes again, the golden sunlight fell into the house from the sky, and the white and velvety snow still fluttered and drifted with the wind.
It's sun snow.
The scenery was so beautiful that I couldn't help but turn to look at Song Langsheng.
However, the bed was empty. I was stunned, then got up suddenly and went around the wall to take a look. Even the honey-pickers in the back room were nowhere to be seen. When I opened the door, the sky and the earth were white, and the whole rough house was empty.
They are gone.
I looked back at the charcoal fire that was still burning in the house, and for a moment there was a feeling of a lifetime away.
Although I was ready, at this moment, the lingering pain gripped my heart again, the familiar pain came back, and when a mouthful of blood vomited, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The deadline is approaching.
I have come here in this life, even if don’t want to let it go, have to let it go in the end.
I gathered up my clothes and walked back to Beijing step by step, stepping on the snow that was as thick as my feet.
The north wind was cold, and even though the sun was shining brightly, it still couldn't resist the chill that invaded the body.
It was still early, and the reflections of the branches on the road in the wilderness overlapped by mistake. I remembered the poem Song Langsheng recited, and imagined the way he recited poetry, but I actually found it a little funny. After laughing, I couldn’t help myself. "The breeze shakes the trees in the garden, and the fine snow falls under the curtains. The air is like fog, and the steps are like flowers..."
"I don't see willow chūn, only see Guizhibai. Zero tears are inhuman, and lovesickness is empty." Someone said slowly behind me.
I turned around, but when I saw Xiu Zhu jumped off a horse and walked up to me, I was surprised and asked, "Why are you here? What happened to Song Langsheng?"
Xiu Zhu shook his head, "Young master is still awake, I came to find the princess myself."
I quietly waited for Xiuzhu's post.
Xiu Zhu took out a dagger from his sleeve, which was held by Song Langsheng last night. He handed it to me and said slowly, "I think the young master's original intention was to give this dagger to the princess."
I took the dagger, the golden sheath glowed dazzlingly against the brilliance of the sun, but the blade was worn out, and it took a lot of effort to pull it out, "You just came back to give me this?"
"The incident happened suddenly last night, and I only thought about how to save the young master, but I forgot about it," Xiu Zhu said slowly, "This morning I was on my way again, and after walking for a while, I thought of the young master last night. I almost lost my life trying to find this scabbard, it must be a very important thing, so I took it out and took a closer look, but I found something in the dagger scabbard..."
When he said this, I also found a very regular circular fèng at the top of the dagger scabbard. It unscrewed along the fèng gap. Sure enough, there is a mystery in it. Things, I poured out my head, opened the silk, but found a pill lying in the handkerchief.
"This is……"
Xiu Zhu said, "This is the antidote to Forgetting Soul Sanctuary."
Like a thunder in the winter, it bombarded without warning in the open heart.
I was stiff all over, recalling all kinds of things in the past, and a truth that I dared not face, I called out, "Forgetting Soul San... Is there an antidote?"
"Yes." Xiu Zhu said: "Forgetting Soul Powder was originally a poison to control people. Most of the medicines are fatal when they are made. In order to achieve their own goals, the poisoner first makes people lose their memory and waits for a while. When the day comes, if the poisoner still has value, the poisoner can exchange the antidote for what they ultimately want."
So, last night, he didn't even care about his own life for this antidote, is it... to save me?
Why? Doesn't he hate me so much?
Hesitantly lingering in his mind, he waited until Xiuzhu said slowly, "There are some things that I didn't want to say. After all, the princess and us are hostile, and I also have my own selfishness..." He smiled lightly. , "Actually, I met the princess two years ago. Two years ago, on the top of Lingshan, the princess caught a glimpse of the young master and the brothers of the gang, and was attacked and fainted. I hit the knife."
My heart shuddered.
Xiu Zhu said: "I was originally Xia Yanghou's staff, and later I was assigned to Young Master Feng Li to do things for him. It was none other than Young Master Feng Li who caught the princess that night. Before the young master came, I fed the princess clothes. It's not anyone else who's going to forget the soul, it's still Young Master Feng."
"Let the princess lose her soul, it's really the Lord's intention. He prepared a poison for Young Master Feng and the young master. The purpose is to test whether they really want to be enemies with the princess."
"The princess was hit by Young Master Feng's Forgetting Soul Powder, the young master doesn't know about all this."
"Later, the young master came to hear the wind and took the pills in front of Young Master Feng. At that time, Young Master Feng and I really thought that it was forgetting the soul, and the Young Master had the intention to put the princess to death."
"Until the beginning of last month, after the young master learned that what the princess was poisoning was the mortal poison given by Young Master Feng, he seemed to have gone mad and rushed to Suiyang day and night to exchange for the antidote from Lord Hou. Only then did I know that that night, what the young master took for the princess was not poison, but just to confuse Young Master Feng and Lord Hou."
Every time Xiu Zhu said a word, I felt like my heart was being cut by a sharp knife. The small pill was held in my palm, and it was so hot that it was almost hot, but there was not even a trace of joy in my heart, "In exchange? What did he use for it? In exchange for an antidote?"
Xia Yanghou has been thinking about it for a long time, how could it be that Song Langsheng said he could give the antidote?
Xiu Zhu shook his head, "How am I supposed to know about the relationship between the young master and the Marquis? It's just..."
