dust song

It is said that when people are dying, all kinds of memories that they have experienced during their lifetime will appear in their minds.

But Chu Lichen only felt that he was having a very long dream. He dreamed that he was still living in the pavilion of the palace, and Murong Chengdu would gently hug him to sleep every night, and leaned over to kiss him over and over again. corner of his mouth, calling him "Chen'er".

I thought I would always be immersed in this illusory dream, but when the screen changed, Chu Lichen actually returned to the Chu Mansion. At that time, his mother was still alive, but she sat by the window all day, crying to herself. Why did her father never come to see her.

"Chen'er, it's my mother who loved your father wrongly. If I didn't love you back then, I wouldn't be so heartbroken..."

"Mother..."

Chu Lichen was about to step forward to comfort him, Ying Lian suddenly raised his head, and his voice became sharper, "Why don't you listen to your mother! See, he doesn't want you anymore, you will still be my mother's daughter after all." Follow in the footsteps!"

As she said that, Ying Lian's expression gradually became ferocious, she stretched out her jade arm, and tightly grabbed Chu Lichen's neck.

"Since no one wants you anymore, you can come down to accompany mother!"

Chu Lichen cried out in pain, desperately trying to escape from the shackles, he struggled vigorously while backing away in a panic, bumped into a strong chest in panic, turned his head and glanced at Murong Chengdu.

Ying Lian's figure disappeared immediately, replaced by a dark and bottomless cliff.

I saw a sneering smile on Murong Chengdu's lips, his deep and stern facial features seemed to have the aura of ruling the world, he mocked: "How can this king fall in love with a beggar, those affections are just for you, The right is my king's blessing."

After finishing speaking, a powerful and oppressive black shadow came over, and Murong Chengdu mercilessly pushed Chu Lichen into the abyss behind him...

Chu Lichen trembled all over, wanted to shout but couldn't, when he completely fell into the turbulent river at the bottom of the cliff, his eyes fell into a white mist...

The pain in his heart was as painful as that of his soul, and he turned his eyes back and forth a few times. Chu Lichen suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't get up immediately, but just glanced around blankly. On the ground of a dilapidated thatched hut, all that was left on her body was a thin undershirt, and the jade jade flower pendant on her chest was also missing.

"...Uh..." Chu Lichen sat up and wanted to ask if there was anyone nearby, but just after taking a breath, he felt a pain in his chest, and his throat was also tight, like a needle prick for no reason. Stinging, he realized instantly that his throat might have fallen into the river and was damaged by the water. Now he can't say a complete sentence, he can only make a few yelling sounds.

Chu Lichen bit his lower lip tightly, then turned his body sideways and wanted to get out of bed, but with a slight movement, he could clearly hear the sound of bones rubbing against his chest, coupled with the pain from breathing earlier, Chu Lichen was sure, It is estimated that two of his ribs were broken.

He clenched the front of his clothes tightly, gritted his teeth and half-kneeled and half-crawled out of the thatched hut.

From the outside, this room is obviously more dilapidated, and even the surrounding weeds are overgrown, without a trace of fireworks.

It seems that someone picked him up and threw him here without paying attention. At this time, Chu Lichen didn't seem to realize that his neck was already empty.

He just sat on the ground in a daze: Did Di Qing want to kill him earlier?Or is the prince going to kill him?Where should I go now?Chu Lichen bent his knees and hugged his legs and began to tremble all over. He was stunned for a long time. Suddenly, a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart: I want to see the prince again. You'll die if you hear it with your own ears.

Chu Lichen rubbed his eyes uncomfortably, he gasped for a few moments, then limped to the river to wash his face, but as soon as his fingers touched the cold river water, he noticed from the reflection of the river that There was only one single shirt left on his body, and he touched his chest with a trembling heart.

The Jade Feiteng flower pendant that Murong Chengdu gave him was gone, Chu Lichen took two steps back in fright, and fell to the ground, fear suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, he looked around helplessly, with a dazed expression and trepidation.

Whether the flower pendant was taken by the person who rescued him or was washed away by the water when it fell into the river, he has no way of knowing now.

"... woo woo..." Chu Lichen looked around nervously, not daring to gasp, take a deep breath, let alone cough loudly, so he could only cry out a few times cautiously.

what to do?The last contact between myself and the prince is gone.

But no matter how sad she was, Hua Pei would not be able to find her for a while, so it was more important to find the prince first.

After thinking about it, Chu Lichen's eyes were serious, he raised his hand and wiped his face indiscriminately, then got up from the ground, first he picked up a stick as thick as a walking stick by the side of the road, and then staggered towards the capital city gone.

However, he didn't know the way. After groping in the barren mountains and wild ridges for a long time, he found a path in the forest. Fortunately, he met a woodcutter who came here to chop wood. Chu Lichen babbled and gesticulated for a long time, "All... .ah... city..."

"You mean the capital city, right?" Unexpectedly, the woodcutter listened patiently to Chu Lichen and pointed him in the direction.

Chu Lichen bowed gratefully and nodded several times, then set off again. He walked and rested along the way, and watched for a long time before Chu Lichen was about to walk on the official road.

His hair was disheveled on his shoulders, and he was leaning on a broken wooden stick. His unkempt appearance really looked like a beggar in distress. People coming and going on the road couldn't help avoiding him when they saw this. Walk.

Chu Lichen didn't care, and walked forward on his own. Now he only wanted to go back to the Prince Regent's Mansion, but when he vaguely saw the black bricks of the city wall, it was already late at night, and the city gate was tightly closed during the curfew time. Close, no one can enter the city at this time, Chu Lichen looked around helplessly, and saw two or three people piled up next to a few big trees by the roadside, as if they were all waiting to enter the city early the next morning.

Seeing that Chu Lichen was in rags, they were unwilling to let him sit down.

"Go away, don't sit here if you are dirty, and stay somewhere!"

"Go away, go away, there's no place for you to sit!"

Chu Lichen pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and squatted in the corner of the city wall far away, and now he only had time to sort out his crumpled and dirty single clothes.

A gust of wind blew away Chu Lichen's black hair that had just been straightened out, so he stretched out his hand to caress it seriously.

"Tomorrow... um... it's time to see the prince..., it can't be so ugly..."

"When you see... ah... what will the lord say first...? Ask him directly? No... okay... no, this... the lord... um... will definitely be angry."

In the middle of the moonlit night, a thin figure nestled against the windward brick wall, muttering to himself with a strange voice in his throat.
