return to peace

Three months later, in the cold and windy December, Chu Lingshang received the news from Chen Guo that Ji Fan took credit for himself and was dismissed by the new emperor. He was trapped in the mansion, depressed, and died of illness.

When Lin Feng reported, Chu Lingshang was drinking medicine. Hearing this, his heart sank, the medicine bowl fell to the ground, and the shards scattered everywhere.He seemed unable to respond in a daze. Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Feng called him worriedly, but he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and immediately fell unconscious.

Chu Zexi hurried over with the imperial doctor, after a long period of diagnosis and treatment, he said that it was a severe pain, and it was already winter, and he induced the same illness he had suffered from before.

This time, the fever lasted for three days and three nights, the high fever persisted, and it was extremely dangerous.Chu Ze was so angry that he bluntly said that if he could not save Chu Lingshang, he would be buried with him.

A young imperial doctor said tremblingly in the anger of the emperor: "My lord is not unable to wake up, but he is unwilling to wake up. If the patient has no will to survive, the doctor will be helpless."

Chu Zexi was suddenly speechless, and his whole body fell down as if discouraged.He didn't expect Ji Fan to have such a big influence in Chu Lingshang's heart.He regretted it a little. If he knew that Chu Lingshang would be in such pain, he would rather make himself suffer.

He carried Chu Wuyou over, and the child immediately cried when he saw Chu Lingshang lying there with a pale face.Weeping and crying "Daddy" and "Daddy".

"Lingxi, are you still awake? Don't you want Wuyou? Don't you want me?"

"Ling Shang, Xiliang still depends on you, without you, I can't survive."

"Ling Yu, Wuyou cried so sadly, didn't you always love him the most? Won't you wake up and coax him?"

"Ling Yan..."

Chu Lingshang dreamed of Ji Fan again.He still looked like he was when he was a child, carved in pink and jade, and Chu Lingshang always thought he was very good-looking.He stood guard at the gate of the prime minister's mansion, waiting for him to return at night, his nose and cheeks were red from the cold, when he saw him coming back, he threw himself into his arms, and said softly, brother, I miss you so much.His heart was about to melt, he squatted down and hugged him, Ji Fan said aggrievedly, brother, why don't you want me?He was startled, hugged him even tighter, and said anxiously, no, I'm right here, brother won't let you go.But Ji Fan in his arms suddenly disappeared. He stared blankly at the empty arms, stood up and ran around, shouting, Xiaofan, where are you, Xiaofan?

"I'm here." Qinglie said with a playful boyish voice.

He turned his head and saw Ji Fan leaning against the window sill with a jug of wine in his hand, smiling at him sideways.He hurried over, Ji Fan jumped down, waved his hand at him, and said, "Ling Shang, come and taste the sweet-scented osmanthus wine from Yunguixuan in the capital."

He reached out to take it, but the moment his fingers touched, Ji Fan disappeared again, and the jug fell to the ground, and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus filled his nose.

He suddenly felt very sad, his nose was sore, and his eyes were red. "Ji Fan... where are you?"

The body falls into a warm embrace, the reassuring and refreshing taste.There was a warm breath coming from the ear, and a slightly deep man's voice: "I'm right here, right by your side, and I'm not going anywhere."

He hurriedly turned around to hug him, clasped his hands tightly, and buried them in the hollows of his shoulders.Ji Fan gently pulled him away, raised his chin, looked at him gently with his clear and moist eyes, and wiped away the tears on his face with callused fingertips.He didn't want to cry, but the tears just couldn't stop flowing.

"well".Ji Fan sighed softly, lowered his head slightly, and kissed his eyes. He closed his eyes subconsciously, feeling the warm touch on his face.Ji Fan kissed his eyes, his cheeks, the tip of his nose, lightly rubbed against his lips, and finally pressed her up.In fact, he has never told Ji Fan that he really likes this kind of close relationship between lips and teeth, which is warm and lingering.

Ji Fan's aura gradually disappeared, he opened his eyes, the room was deserted, and there was still the cold fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, except for Ji Fan's smell.He walked out the door, and saw a tall and straight figure in front of him, dressed in black clothes, with his hair tied high behind his head, he hurriedly chased after him, but he couldn't catch up.

"Ji Fan!"

The person in front turned around, his face was still extremely handsome, but his eyes were extremely cold.As if the person opposite didn't know him, he said coldly, "I'm tired and don't want to be with you anymore."

In an instant, heartbroken, he fell to the ground, watching him drift away, the surroundings darkened, leaving him alone in the darkness.

More than ten years later, he once again gave all his sincerity, but he still ended up like this.

"Daddy, daddy." The sound of a child crying came from next to my ear, who was calling him?

"Ling Yu, are you still awake? Don't you want Wuyou? Don't you want me?" He is so tired, why must he be the one?

"Ling Shang, Xiliang still depends on you, without you, I can't survive." Who do I rely on?I can hardly bear it anymore.

"Ling Yu, Wuyou cried so sadly, didn't you always love him the most? Won't you wake up and coax him?" I'm also sad, so let me be alone for a while.

"Ling Yan..."

In the sound of calling, he still slowly opened his eyes.In front of him was Chu Wuyou's weeping face, and Chu Zexi's haggard appearance.

Seeing that he woke up, Chu Zexi wept with joy, and shouted loudly: "Imperial doctor, imperial doctor! Come and have a look!"

The imperial doctors were already waiting at the side, and they didn't need him to call, so they came over one by one to check on Chu Lingshang.Chu Lingshang was really awake, he motioned to hug Chu Wuyou, raised his limp hands with some effort, and wiped away the tears from the child's face with a handkerchief.He said softly: "My dear boy, Dad is awake, you should go and rest quickly."

Chu Wuyou was only two years old after all his calculations, and he was so tired from crying that he just held on to Chu Lingshang's hand sobbingly. "Don't, don't."

"Go quickly, or Father will be angry."

After being told in this way, Chu Wuyou reluctantly let go of his hand, and tucked the quilt for Chu Ling's cup like a little adult, before being carried out by the nanny.

Chu Lingshang looked at Chu Zexi, and he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Lingshang, how do you feel?"

Chu Lingshang smiled weakly: "It's much better. You should go back soon, you have to go to court tomorrow."

"I won't go, let's go for another day."

"Nonsense." He saw that Chu Zexi's chin was covered with blue stubble, his eyes were bloodshot, and he felt uncomfortable: "Go and rest, I will be fine, don't worry."

It's been a long time since Chu Lingshang talked to him so intimately. His nose was a little sour, and he always listened to him: "Okay, then I'm going back to the palace, you have a good rest."

"Well, don't worry, Lin Feng will take good care of me."

Chu Zexi glanced at Lin Feng, and the young guard became more silent and stood aside.He finally left, leaving behind all the imperial doctors.

Everyone went out, and the imperial physicians went to prepare medicinal materials, so Chu Lingshang called Lin Feng over.Lin Feng gently lifted him up, put a pillow on the back of his waist, and handed him a glass of warm water.A set of movements, smooth and flowing.The two masters and servants have always had a tacit understanding.

Lin Feng stood aside silently, and when Chu Lingshang didn't speak, he was also silent.After a long time, Chu Lingshang asked softly, "Ji Fan, really, is he dead?"

"Really, news came from our eyeliner that Ji Fan was indeed under house arrest, and indeed saw Ji Fan's body at the funeral."

"Heh", Chu Lingshang chuckled, wiped away the tears that kept oozing out of him, and laughed at himself, "I shouldn't be crying."

"Young master, you can cry if you want to cry."

One sentence broke the embankment in Chu Lingshang's heart, and overwhelming sadness surged in. He covered his eyes, tears leaking from between his fingers: "I want to see him."

"When you recover, Lin Feng will accompany you to see it."

Chu Lingshang could no longer speak, and let his weakness go.When he had had enough crying and was tired of crying, he was still the national teacher of Xiliang who acted resolutely and turned his hand into clouds and his hands into rain.

It's just that his heart will never live again.
