Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 122: In vain to defeat Dong Jun

After Daiyu left, the situation of the princess was even worse.He still had a high fever, fell asleep for a while, and woke up for a while.Fortunately, her consciousness is very clear, but as long as no one is around, she will always pull down the quilt covering her body.All he wanted was to end this life quickly, to be able to see him sooner, and to finish the debt of this life.

After Shui Rong came back from the yamen, he didn't have time to rest or drink water, so he hurried to Yiyuan to care about the princess' condition.

Nunnery Hu shook her head at Shui Rong and said, "My lord, go and have a look, the princess is very bad."

Shui Rong asked with a serious expression, "What on earth is she going to do?" Entering the back room, the candle flames on the lamp stand were dancing, and there was a crackling sound.

The princess was lying on the embroidered bed, her eyes were open, and her eyes looked a little hollow and dull.Shui Rong stepped forward to look at her, the faint candlelight reflected her face, so peaceful and indifferent, it was really different from the usual coldness.However, she has lost a lot of weight these days, and Shui Rong knows in her heart the shadow that the whole incident has cast on her.

Shui Rong sat obliquely on the edge of the bed, and said in an exceptionally soft tone, "I'm relieved when you're done. Such a big family cannot live without you. Nanqing doesn't have that ability."

The princess felt her body was very hot, her lips were split, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Give me water."

When Shui Rong heard that he poured water, he supported her with one hand, the princess looked like someone who had been thirsty for a long time, and half of the glass of water was drained after gulping.

Speaking of how many years they have been married, it is the first time that Shui Rong has poured water for the princess.He then helped her to lie down again, and accidentally touched her hand, which was as hot as fire, and Shui Rong hurriedly said: "You are so sick, why don't you open your mouth. Rest well, I will send someone to send the imperial doctor."

However, the concubine took his hand and refused to let him ask for it. She struggled and begged: "My lord, just treat me as paying off the debt. What I owe you, I will pay it back together. This life is not enough, and there will be a next life."

Shui Rong was a little anxious: "What nonsense, you are lying down. I will come as soon as I go."

The princess finally shed tears: "I've been strong all my life, but it's just a joke in the end. I wanted to let go, but I never let go. The teacher and father of Bodhi Temple said that there is a demon in my heart, and now I have finally come out. It's too hard. I don't want to look back at the previous scenery. My lord..." the princess called out.

Shui Rong's nose was sore, he felt congested in his heart, and hurriedly called someone: "Go and invite Doctor Chen."

The princess tried her best and said, "Don't waste your efforts."

Shui Rong said angrily: "I have to let you live well, live well for me." Then he hurried away, not going to see the patient on the bed.

Shui Rong was in a mess, and then met Dun Hui who came to see her sister-in-law. Dun Hui held Shui Rong and cried, "Brother, I'm just such a sister-in-law. I want her to be fine. You have to save her."

Shui Rong comforted Dunhui: "Xin'er, your sister-in-law needs to rest, don't bother her." Shui Rong went back to the room and changed into light clothes, sat down and drank half a cup of tea quietly.After thinking about it, I thought that the two of them came together, neither of them was wrong, why did it still end like this?He thought that if the concubine's heart knot was opened, the situation of the two of them would be better, but he didn't expect that person still lived in her heart.Shui Rong couldn't bear to blame anything, he only hoped that the road ahead would be smoother, he didn't want the princess to live a lifetime of hatred, as long as she could live well, even if she went into Buddhism, Shui Rong would let her go.

Shui Rong seemed a little anxious, until Liu'er came over to send a message: "My lord, the imperial physician Chen is here, and he has already checked the pulse of the princess."

Shui Rong said: "Oh, call him over quickly. I have something to ask him."

Liu'er said: "Go back to the prince, the imperial doctor is already waiting in the flower hall."

Shui Rong hurried to the flower hall, Imperial Physician Chen hurriedly stood up and said, "My lord."

Shui Rong said: "It's a little urgent, so I'm going to trouble the imperial doctor to come here at such a late hour. But the princess's illness?" Shui Rong looked at him suspiciously.

Doctor Chen shook his head and sighed: "I heard that the princess no longer needs the medicine, and she spit out all the medicine she took. The high fever may subside after the injection just now. However, the princess's illness came on too suddenly and violently. Now she is sick. It's almost to the point of death, no matter how good the doctor is, I'm afraid I can't save him..."

"What are you talking about, it can't be saved. Why can't it be saved? A few days ago, didn't you say that you were lacking in energy and that you should just rest. How did you get to this point?" Shui Rong was extremely anxious, he was unwilling to face this fact.She is still so young. Although there is no relationship between the two of them, she is also her own family and needs her own protection. How can she watch such a fresh life gradually disappear.

Imperial physician Chen knelt down: "Your Majesty has clearly observed that this is caused by the invasion of wind and evil. I am afraid it is a heart attack. I have tried my best."

Shui Rong said with tears in his eyes: "What should I do next, is there really no other way?"

Doctor Chen said: "The next official will prescribe another set of prescriptions. Don't get angry and sad. Maybe you will see better."

"Then hurry up!" Shui Rong strode out and walked towards Yiyuan.

Hu Nanny wiped her tears on the kang, muttering: "What is this called, what is this called. Can't we live a peaceful life for a day?"

Shui Rong had no time to take care of these things, the princess seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.Both Daiyu and Dunhui stood in front of her. Dunhui pulled her elder brother and just cried, "Brother, you have to save sister-in-law. My sister-in-law treats me better than my brother treats me. I want her to live a long life."

Shui Rong was dejected, and suddenly felt that even though he was the head of the family, when it came time to protect the people around him, he couldn't do anything. He sat limply on the chair, thinking that he was really helpless.

Daiyu glanced back at him, she felt his anxiety and distress, but she couldn't share anything for him.Fate has pulled these few of them tightly together, could it be that in the end they can't resist the will of God?Daiyu remembered what the concubine had said to her during the day, she couldn't bear it at the moment, bent down and said: "My lord, take good care of my concubine, the daughter of the people is leaving."

Shui Rong said: "Xin'er, go and rest with Miss Lin, I'm here."

Dun Hui reluctantly glanced at her sleeping sister-in-law. At this time, she was afraid of causing any trouble to others, so she went out with Dai Yu.

Shui Rong sat there, looking at the shadows of the lamps with his eyes, many things from the past appeared in front of his eyes.

"Rong'er, the Ai family has found a marriage for you. It is the child of our Concubine Shun's mother's family. I heard that it looks like a flower. Do you like it?"

"My humble minister thanked the Empress Dowager for her kindness."

"Rong'er, treat her well in the future and don't bully her."

Shui Rong solemnly agreed.

Until the day of the wedding, Shui Rong was still full of joy. When he picked up the bride's Xipa, his eyes were straightened, it was indeed a delicate flower.So beautiful, let Shui Rong not believe his eyes.However, the bride didn't show much emotion towards him, and Shui Rong was naturally young and energetic back then, and the newlyweds often quarreled.After getting along for less than a month, Shui Rong moved his living place to a few rooms behind the flower hall.

For several years, Shui Rong thought that he had never understood her.She is sincerely kind to Shui Xin and Shui Cheng, but she is full of resistance and even hostility towards herself.The two went from being noisy before to being strangers later.Until Shui Rong got a glimpse of her mind, there was a man living in her heart, and she kept saying that she had harmed that man.Shui Rong thought, although the two lived under the same roof, the road was getting farther and farther.

Shui Rong saw the embroidered screen, and he took it over to admire it carefully.The horse turning back while running is lifelike.The horse lover is gone, but he still lives in this world in another way, in someone's heart.As for the story of the princess and him, I also listened to a few fragments of Han Qi's story intermittently, and then pieced it together.A sad dream will finally wake up that day.Shui Rong glanced at the person on the bed, but she seemed to be in a dream and didn't want to wake up.

After an unknown amount of time, the concubine opened her eyes and saw the man standing in front of her at a glance.The princess smiled weakly: "What time is it now?"

Shui Rongqiang tried his best, and took out his gold watch to see that it was already midnight, and his eyelids were heavy, but he didn't dare to close his eyes to rest, and answered the question: "It's early, you go to sleep."

The princess seemed a little apologetic: "Don't you want to rest, my lord? You have to go to court early in the morning. Don't miss the business."

Shui Rong sighed: "It's nothing important. You can rest assured."

The princess felt better, not so hot, and she became more awake.She remembered one thing, took out something from under the pillow, and handed it to Shui Rong: "I will return this thing to you, it has caused so many misunderstandings. Now it has disappeared, the prince or Keep it, throw it away, whatever you want."

Shui Rong took it, it was a white jade wrench with a few crimson lines.He himself couldn't remember when this happened.It was still the princess who said: "This one is exactly the same as that one. I thought you robbed him and hurt him. They made a mistake, so I took it seriously. It's funny when you think about it."

Shui Rong said: "Why didn't you keep it?"

The princess said: "No need. I have one more thing to ask the prince."

"Please say."

"I know I won't live long. I have stayed here for nothing for a few years because I didn't have the courage to follow him. It's not too late now. The prince has no affection for me. After I leave, let Han Qi Take me back and bury me in the tomb of our Han family."

Shui Rong couldn't bear to hear these words, tears came down quietly, and he shrugged his shoulders slightly.

The concubine said again: "Miss Lin is a good girl, the prince should not let her down. Her life is pitiful, and she should have a home. I don't enjoy the incense of the descendants of the Shui family. This life has nothing to do with the Shui family. Contact. Just let me go clean, okay?"

Shui Rong took her hand, choked up and couldn't speak, thinking why he couldn't help her and help her get through this test.

The concubine closed her eyes in despair, her anger was like gossamer, she just wanted to quickly settle the debt of this life.

Han Qi came the next day, the princess explained a few things to him, Han Qi listened in a daze, feeling more and more uncomfortable, and then said: "Sister really can't let him go, even if he is not a good person, ah My sister is still so stubborn."

The princess said: "There is no need to say anything, please remember what I said."

Han Qi said: "I'm afraid I can't decide these things, I have to go back and ask the master for instructions."

The princess nodded.

Han Qi found his father with his sister's last wish.After hearing this, Han Xu was furious: "Nonsense, she doesn't understand the rules of etiquette as a woman. You don't understand either, so you let it go. I think she wants to piss me off first before she's clean."

Han Qi knelt down at that time: "Master, just agree to this matter. Isn't Master not satisfied with my sister's last wish?"

Han Xu said: "What kind of talk is that? To embarrass our Han family, there is no reason for a married daughter to come back."

Han Qi pleaded: "Daddy, this tragedy was caused by Daddy alone. Daddy didn't envy the power of the Northern Prince's Mansion, so he did that. I didn't tell Sister these things. If Sister knew, she would How do you miss Daddy?"

Han Xu said: "Isn't it for her good that I follow that Shi, I'm afraid it will embarrass our Han family even more. What kind of thing is Shi, how can he be worthy of Pingping? It's just a daydream. At the beginning, I made the decision. In their thoughts, they never thought that this silly girl would abuse themselves so much. It's not convenient for me to reprimand her, I want her mother to have a good meal, and let her die as soon as possible. "

Han Qi begged again and again: "Daddy, she is Daddy's only daughter. Don't you think Daddy feels sorry for you? If you make such a fuss, I'm afraid my sister will walk faster. You should do it, this is her only wish." "

Han Xu was irritated by his son's quarrel, thinking that his family was unlucky, why did such an ugly disaster happen, if people outside knew about it, wouldn't they be ridiculed?

Time slipped away quietly, and the footsteps of March gradually approached.It's the time of the storm again.

The princess insisted on getting up, she was already tired of the feeling of being paralyzed on the bed, and her bones ached.

Cuizhu said: "The spring is just right outside, my lady, go out and have a look."

The princess agreed weakly: "Okay. You and I can do your makeup."

Cuizhu opened the dowry, took the toothbrush, and slowly loosened that beautiful black hair, combing it lightly.Ten fingers deftly combed a Japanese bun.He took the mirror and showed it to the concubine: "Does your empress like this style?"

The concubine smiled and said: "I like it, I like to comb this kind of hair the most." She opened the box herself, picked up a pair of phoenix holding beads and golden wings, and asked Cuizhu to insert it.

Seeing that the princess was in such a good mood today, Cuizhu hurriedly took the bamboo scissors, twisted off a single-petalled peony in a vase, and gently put it on the left ear temple.

The princess wanted to take the pair of gold collars, but she didn't have the strength to take them, in order not to let Cuizhu see anything, she said: "I took my best clothes to change into."

Cuizhu opened the closet and fetched the clothes.The pink-threaded golden hundred butterflies wear a multicolored Kesi Ning silk spring shirt with flowers, and eight Xiang skirts embroidered with willow and yellow silk.It was covered with a rose-purple teeth-pinch vest.

Cui Zhu tidied up the clothes for the princess, and said with a smile: "These clothes are always the empress's unwillingness to wear. Although she has been sick for a few days, her complexion is not very good. But this dress, it seems to be back to the past. It is really beautiful."

The princess took a selfie in the mirror, yes, it was still the same as before, when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she also dressed like this.She felt that she was about to lose the ability to hold the mirror, and when she put it on the table, the mirror fell to the ground without putting it back in place, with a crisp sound, and the hole was already cracked.

Afraid that she would think too much, Cui Zhu comforted her: "Madam, let's go out. Someone will clean it up."

The concubine supported Cuizhu and walked outside slowly.The people outside said: "Miss Lin is here."

Daiyu saw that the concubine was wearing gorgeous clothes and her expression was not the same as before, so she thought that she was recovering from her illness and liked it very much: "Your Majesty looks so good today."

A woman has already set up a seat on the porch.Daiyu helped the princess to the porch, and then helped her to sit down.

The concubine said to Daiyu, "Sister, please accompany me to see the spring scene in front of me."

Daiyu saw that the carnations planted in the yard were competing to bloom, and they were gorgeous.

The princess asked, "Does my sister like spring?"

Daiyu replied: "I like it, but it's a pity that this season is coming to an end. Goodbye is another year."

The princess said: "I'm afraid it will be the last time I appreciate such a spring scene. I really want to listen to some operas. I used to love to listen to them when I was at home."

Cuizhu heard a message from a busy person to let her prepare.

Daiyu was quietly by her side, and later Dunhui also came.Dun Hui praised: "Sister-in-law's clothes are really beautiful today, I have never seen my sister-in-law dressed like this before."

The princess said: "I used to prefer to dress like this when I was at home, but now I'm afraid I won't be able to meet people."

Dun Hui hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, she is still radiant."

Shui Rong heard about Wang Hao's wish, but he didn't care about anything, and hurriedly asked people to prepare it.Later, in the small pavilion in Yiyuan, a simple stage was temporarily set up.

The concubine listened quietly to the melodious voice, only to hear the first stanza: "The swaying clear silk blows to the courtyard, shaking the spring like a thread. Stop for a while, and make the flower tin. No water chestnut flower, stealing people On the other side, the colorful clouds are swaying." I wondered why this happened.

Daiyu was also fascinated when she saw clusters of willow catkins flying from the courtyard, and then sang: "Your Dao Cuisheng's skirt and shirt are full of colorful and crystal flower hairpins and eight treasures, so you know how I am." Chang Yier's hobbies are natural. No one sees the benefits of Qi Sanchun."

At this moment, Dun Hui heard a scoff from some corner, and got up quickly, and then the servant girl came over and said, "A big kite came in, I don't know who flew it."

Dun Hui hurriedly cheered, "Go get it and have a look."

Xiulan said: "If you want kites, we also have kites at home. If you choose someone else's kites to fly, you're afraid of bad luck."

The princess looked at the willow catkins blowing all over the courtyard, her eyes were blurred, and she seemed to see herself in the dimness when she was fifteen or sixteen years old.There was a young man walking towards her, wearing a brocade suit and a precious belt, the same as before. He came up to her and called out to her, "Pingping!"

The princess saw the old appearance and scolded him: "Why did my brother leave me and go alone?"

"Pingping, I kept you waiting for a long time. Come with me." She held out her hand to the princess.

The princess put her hand on it, smiled brightly, and it was still her childhood call: "Brother, wait for me."

Daiyu turned her head and said to the concubine: "Look, ma'am, a pair of butterflies are flying here." However, the handkerchief in the concubine's hand had already fallen to the ground, and there was an incomparably bright smile on her face, but the smile froze at the corners of her lips, as if A statue was fixed there, motionless.Looking ahead, his eyes have been scattered.

Daiyu was startled, and hurriedly called out, "Your Majesty!"

The princess still maintained that sitting posture.Daiyu was terrified, she gently picked up the handkerchief that had fallen on the ground, and gently put it back into the hands of the princess, looking at her extremely calm and bright smile, she knew it was too late.
