Charming beauty

Chapter 100

When Yue Duqing heard the news and rushed to the Huguo Mansion, everything seemed to be too late.

Zan Heyi was fed Duanhunsan, his body had been cold for a long time, and although Nalan Mei was still alive, the fetus in his womb, which was less than three months old, was crushed and died before it was formed. It also directly damaged his physical fitness. I am afraid that it will be difficult to conceive a child again in the future. Even if there is a chance, the chance is so small that it is almost non-existent. In just one night, he has gone through life and death, cold, and cruel.

Yue Duqing was stunned by the bed for a while, looking at Nalan Mei, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, her eyes closed, her black eyelashes not even trembling, her usually calm and clear mind was in a state of confusion at this moment, even though he was extremely intelligent, Even if he has extraordinary medical skills, he can't bring back the temperature of the cold corpse and the broken bloodline!

He laughed at himself, closed his eyes forcefully, bent down to feel Nalan Mei's pulse carefully, listed two detailed medicine lists and handed them to the steward who waited outside the door, and told some points that need to be paid attention to before turning to the door of the mansion. Going outside, there is probably only this that he can do now.

Unexpectedly, there were two black figures erected beside the gate of the mansion, bowing respectfully towards Yue Duqing and saluting: "Prince Qing, my lord pleases."

The sound of the rain is slight, delicate and fluttering.In the ancestral hall surrounded by incense offerings, rows of black lacquer plaques silently recount the glorious glory of life, pale as snow libation flowers dotted on the beams, and the slanted white gauze flutters gently with the wind, pure, solemn, The holy one is also like the loyal heart of the national teachers of the past dynasties to the Yuedu Kingdom.

Xuan Qing looked at Yue Duqing solemnly, with eyes full of Xiao Leng: "Kneel down."

Yue Duqing raised her robe and knelt slowly, "Master."

Xuan Qing nodded, "I'm asking you, Master, did you find out that he had a child a long time ago?"

"Yes."

"So, it was your fault that he was not discovered by the imperial doctor during the time he was in the palace?"

"Yes."

"Then acting as a matchmaker for him is also to cover up his crime?"

"Yes."

Yue Duqing's unapologetic attitude made Xuan Qing smile instead, "Whether it was ten years ago or now, I am just as disappointed in you as a teacher." He closed his eyes, and his tone was light and indifferent, "Pull it down, fifty sticks and whips each, and think about your mistakes behind closed doors." Ten days later, the power will be abolished, and you will be expelled from the school!"

The rain never stopped, the leaves were soaked and turned dark green, and some branches were trampled into the mud, and gradually rotted over time.

When Nalan Mei woke up, it was the fifth day that Yue Duqing had been thinking behind closed doors. The person guarding the bed was Yue Duyi, who looked very haggard from the care she had taken day and night. When she saw Nalan Mei When Lan Mei woke up, there was no joy in her eyes, but more worry. She asked someone to prepare hot water towels and bird's nest porridge, and when the hot water towels arrived, she wiped Nalan Mei's face with her own hands. During the whole process, Nalan Mei Lan Mei's spirit was in a trance, and she felt very weak. She ate a few mouthfuls of bird's nest porridge, drank a few mouthfuls of light rib soup, and then fell asleep again.

After falling asleep, it was early the next morning. After waking up, although my spirit was better than before, I still looked weak, but I insisted on getting out of bed.Yue Duyi was naturally anxious when she saw it, and quickly pressed him to prevent him from getting up, "Brother Mei, I'll give you whatever you want, the master said you can't get out of bed yet!"

"I'm fine, don't worry." After closing his eyes weakly, he didn't know where the strength came from. He broke free from Yue Duyi, lifted the quilt and struggled to get out of bed. Put on his shoes and coat, help him stand up unsteadily, and walk towards the door with some difficulty.I don't know where the body hurts, Nalan Mei walked so hard and painful every step, when she walked to the door, there was already thin sweat on her forehead, and her face became paler and paler, as if it would turn transparent in the next moment.

"Brother Mei, where are you going? Can't I go for you?" Yue Duyi supported him vigorously, but his footsteps faltered but seemed very anxious, but he stopped when he stepped out of the door. Looking up, Xuan Qing was dressed in blue Pao stood quietly outside the corridor, looking at Nalan Mei with a stern look, "There's no need to look for them, they took Duanhun powder, and their bodies were buried in the mountain behind the ancestral hall."

It seemed that at that moment, the rain suddenly became heavy, pouring like a column, cutting off the dead and silent world under the corridor.

Nalan Mei suddenly turned around and ran towards the back of the mountain.

Yue Duyi was taken staggeringly, and before she had time to salute Xuan Qing, she hurriedly followed. Nalan Mei thought it was supported by some kind of strength, and her footsteps were weak and ups and downs along the way, but she never stopped or fell down. It got bigger and bigger, and when they reached the back mountain, their clothes were already soaked.In the torrential rain, Nalan Mei shuttled between the tombs like a ghost, looking anxiously as if looking for something.The rain washed Yue Duyi all over her body, she looked extremely embarrassed, but she still stumbled and followed behind Nalan Mei, helping him when he was shaking and about to fall, until Nalan Mei stopped.

The two new tombs were left alone in the rain, allowing the heavy rain to run wild.

Nalan Mei stared at the two tombstones quietly, her face became paler and paler, but a strange light gradually rose from the bottom of her eyes, Yue Duyi looked at Nalan Mei worriedly, but she didn't want Nalan Mei to suddenly rush to the grave He stretched out his hand to pick up the graveyard.

This move undoubtedly surprised Yue Duyi, and rushed to hold his hand to stop him, "Brother Mei, you can't do this! The burial has already been buried, what you do will only make him unable to rest in peace! Brother Mei, Stop, Brother Mei!" No matter what she said, Nalan Mei didn't seem to hear, she tried to hold his hand, for some reason, Nalan Mei, who was weak a moment ago and was shaking even when walking, now had great strength Surprisingly, with just one push, Yue Duyi was pushed far away.But even so, Yue Duyi still unyieldingly rushed over to stop him, "Brother Mei, don't want to, the funeral is already dead! Brother Mei, if you do this, he will only die with regret!"

Nalan Mei still pushed her away, persistently wanting to open the grave and open the coffin for an autopsy, as if he would only believe it when he saw the buried corpse with his own eyes.No matter how many times, no matter how many times he cried and begged to stop him, his determination could hardly be shaken. In the end, Yue Duyi compromised. She collapsed beside Nalan Mei and started to help him dig the soil together. Help you, I will help you!"

The heavy rain blurred the world, Xuan Qing stood quietly not far behind them, looked coldly at the two people who were covered in mud, with pity in his eyes, sighed softly, walked over lightly, bent over and pulled the moon Du Yi, "Yi'er, this is not a place for you to stay for long, you should go back first." He said softly to the two people behind him, "Blood Crow, take the princess back to her room first."

"Yes." Xue Crow responded lightly, then turned to Yue Duyi to salute, "Princess, please." Yue Duyi looked up at Xuan Qing, then looked at Nalan Mei hesitantly and worriedly, and finally nodded obediently. Follow the blood crow to leave, if it is the master, he should be able to stop brother Mei, right?

After Yue Duyi's figure disappeared into the distance, Xuan Qing moved to behind Nalan Mei, and did not stop her, but asked him in a soft voice, "Life is life, and death is death. Why did you ever lie to me as a teacher?" You? Whether Zan Heyi is really dead or not, you know very well in your heart, don’t you, why do you do these useless things here?” These words are like a sharp sword that ruthlessly shattered the weakness in Nalan Mei’s heart The hope in his eyes gradually dimmed, the strength in his body was taken away bit by bit, his hands gradually became heavy to the point where he could no longer lift them, his back was stiff, but he was still willing to give up, trembling and powerless, he moved his hands mechanically. Push away the soil under your hands little by little.

Xuan Qing looked at him like this, unable to tell what it was like, he closed his eyes, became cruel, bent down and roughly pulled him up, raised his palms, and gave Nalan a loud slap in the face. Mei's face turned sideways, and clear palm prints appeared on his fair cheeks, and red blood stains overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but he still didn't respond.Then, another backhand slap, Nalan Mei fell to the ground, the forehead hit the tombstone, and the blood stained the inscription on the tombstone, which was washed away by the rain without leaving a trace.

Nalan Mei stared blankly at the tombstone, but her eyes pulled back a little bit of focus, and then gradually filled with sadness, "I promised you to be together before I was alive, but now I may hug you underground." Then he panted heavily, helped Standing up staggeringly while looking at the tombstone, but before he could stand still, he fell down slowly. Xuan Qing rushed over to catch him and hugged him into his arms. He tightened Xuan Qing's sleeves and fell into a coma He did not forget to plead, "Master, please close the coffin for them." Living in the same bed, and dying in the same bed, that's all he can do for them, right?

Xuan Qing sighed heavily, she didn't know what she thought of, she shook her head lightly, carried Nalan Mei in her arms and walked slowly towards the way she came, and told the skeleton who was holding an umbrella, "Close the coffin for them, and put the memorial tablet in the side room of the ancestral hall." He knew he shouldn't agree, but he still agreed. If he didn't agree, he would be very sad, right?

With the sound of the rain, the water in the lotus sun in the front yard overflowed, and several rare fish species that came as tribute from other countries were washed out, and gradually lost their vitality after thumping on the ground a few times.

It may be because she was too weak and drenched in the rain. After sleeping all night, Nalan Mei started to cough, coughing and coughing and started to develop a low fever. Sleeping on the bedside sometimes, sometimes staring at him in a daze, Yue Duyi would eat whatever Yue Duyi fed him, letting others play with him like a body that had lost his soul, his eyes were dark, and he was still unwilling to talk to anyone.On the fifth day, Yue Duyi rushed over anxiously—"Brother Mei, I just heard that the steward said that my brother was imprisoned in the ancestral hall by the master, and his martial arts will be abolished today, brother Mei, hurry up and save me!" my brother!"

When Nalan Mei dragged her body and broke into the door, in this ancestral hall that was admired by thousands of people and caused him to lose his child and funeral, Xuan Qing sat on a high seat and looked at everything in the hall with cold eyes. His only confidant But he was kneeling in the center of the hall with injuries all over his body, and his tattered clothes could not cover the deep bloodstains. Although the bloodstains had dried up long ago, they looked shocking and horrifying.Beside him, Blood Crow seemed to be about to use his hands to abolish his martial arts, but he stopped because Nalan Mei broke in suddenly. He turned to Xuan Qing and asked if he wanted to continue. Xuan Qing glanced at Na Lan Mei and raised his hand, "You first Back off."

After the blood crow retreated, Xuan Qing asked him directly, "You want to intercede for him? Then do you know what crime he committed?"

"I don't know what crime he has committed." Nalan Mei turned to look at Yue Duqing, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his consciousness was obviously a little unclear, "But no matter what crime he committed, it should not be abolished." Skill, it is related to his whole life, he can't be so rash."

Under Nalan Mei's contemplative gaze, Xuan Qing said slowly, "When he found out that you had a child, not only did he not remove the child, but he also tried to hide it from the imperial doctor, and even made a marriage contract to cover up your crimes." , trying to deceive the world, shouldn't such deception be severely punished?"

Nalan Mei was slightly stunned, and looked at Qing Yuedu in disbelief. He was not without doubts, why he was pregnant with the child and the imperial doctors surrounded him every day but failed to diagnose it. He didn't understand why Yue Duqing, who had always understood his mind, would suddenly match him for a marriage. Now he understood that Yue Duqing was protecting him and his children with his life, even though he knew that doing so would be punished. He complained, but still refused to turn back.His confidant is really stupid, so stupid that it makes people feel distressed.

He lifted his robe, and after five years, he knelt down to Xuanqing again, "Master, everything is caused by the disciple, and the disciple is willing to bear all the sins. No matter what kind of punishment, there is no complaint. Forgive him."

Xuan Qing stared at him quietly, "What if the teacher refuses?"

Nalan Mei looked directly at him, "Then how can the master agree? As long as it is the master's request, the apprentice will do it, as long as the master lets him go."

It seems that all Xuan Qing wanted was just this sentence from the beginning to the end, but when he heard it, he hesitated instead, "Would you like anything?"

"Yes." Nalan Mei replied in a deep voice, "Isn't that what the master wants? Now that the disciple has said it, the master can ask for any conditions, and the disciple will agree."

Xuan Qing stared at him deeply for a moment, pondered for a long time before asking, "Forget it, as long as you swear that you will never go to Murongyou again from now on, and you will abide by the law of protecting the country and take the responsibility of protecting the country, so that you can serve the country wholeheartedly. As a teacher, let him go today."

"Is it true that as long as the apprentice swears, the master will not embarrass anyone anymore?" Nalan Mei asked him.

"Yes, as long as you swear, as a teacher, you can pretend that nothing happened."

"Okay, it's a deal!" Nalan Mei slowly raised three fingers to the sky, and solemnly swore: "I, Nalan Mei, as the seventh generation protector of the country, made the oath of heaven and will abide by the book of protectors from today onwards." If you violate this oath, you will suffer..." But before he finished speaking, his hand raised to the sky was pulled down, and he turned his head sideways. Yue Du Qing panted slightly and turned to him. Shaking his head, but immediately, his hand was taken away by Nalan Mei, Nalan Mei raised his hand again, and firmly swore, "I, Nalan Mei, as the seventh generation protector of the country, made the oath of heaven, today I will never go to find Murongyou again, and I will abide by the law of protecting the country and take the responsibility of protecting the country. I will serve the country wholeheartedly. If I violate this oath, I will suffer from the pain of God's punishment, the pain of tearing out my bones and heart, and my head will be decapitated. I will die without a burial. place." After a pause, he smiled strangely again, "Of course, if Master disobeys what he said, he will suffer from thousands of ants piercing through his heart, and he will die with regret."

"It's natural." Xuan Qing took a deep look at him, then got up and walked to the back hall, "Remember the oath you just made."

As soon as Xuan Qing left, Nalan Mei suddenly softened, and she sat on the ground powerlessly and took a deep breath. Yue Duqing snorted coldly at the side, "Show me." Nalan Mei raised her eyebrows, amused, "Hey , what kind of attitude do you have, I'm just here to save you, don't be ungrateful." He moved over a little, stretched out his hand to help Yue Duqing untie the rope that tied Kai's hands, and stopped when he was untying the last knot of Kai. Unseen behind Du Qing's back, he said softly, "I have already lost my child, Zan and Yi, and I don't want to lose you anymore, and I don't want more people to be hurt because of this. I made this oath voluntarily. Nothing, you don't have to feel guilty."

Yueduqing lowered her eyes slowly and said, "Can you forget Murongyou?"

"So what if you can't forget it?" Nalan Mei untied the last knot for him, and the rope immediately loosened, "He's like a dream, after so long, no matter it's a good dream or a nightmare, it's time to wake up. It can’t be forgotten, and it can’t be used as a memory.”

Yue Duqing was silent for a moment, then said, "Murong You has settled in the border city ten days ago, and now he may be in Jinyang City."

The people behind were obviously silent for a long time—"I have sworn an oath that I will never look for him again. I have nothing to do with him since I decided to leave Wuliang Mountain."

After that day, the rain subsided, the weather began to clear up, the sun was strong, and summer officially arrived.

Under Yue Duyi's careful care, Nalan Mei's body gradually recovered, and the scars on Yue Duqing's body also began to heal.During the days when Nalan Mei was convalescing, Yueduan, who had shown four months of pregnancy, moved back to Huguo Mansion for a few days with Yueduto's permission. He didn't follow him, but whenever he was free, he would come to the Huguo Mansion to see Wu'er, and sometimes he would discuss some political views with Nalan Mei, and his attitude of humbly asking for advice seemed to have the self-consciousness and responsibility of being a prince of a country.

After the reaction period, Yue Duyu returned to his former vivacity, dancing and singing around Nalan Mei every day. If he refused to listen to the persuasion, he had no choice but to ask Yue Duqing to stare at him more and let him go.On the other hand, he began to teach Yue Duyi to play the piano. Yue Duyi's piano skills were not high, but under Nalan Mei's careful guidance, her skills improved a lot in a few days.No one mentioned the past, and no one mentioned Murong You. It could be seen that everyone was very happy. Everything they experienced during that period, like a flower blooming in the epiphyllum, disappeared in an instant, and there was no trace on them.

The happiest thing in the world is the happiness of those around you.Whenever people opened their eyes in the dead of night and it was hard to suppress the sadness in their hearts, Nalan Mei would comfort herself in such a soft voice, as long as they feel happy, as long as they feel happy, then everything is fine, and he is no longer important.

In a blink of an eye, the wedding day is at hand.The Zhenyifang in the palace sent the wedding clothes, and the next day, Nalan Mei moved out of the main courtyard and gave up the main courtyard to decorate a new house.

In the middle of the night on the day when she moved out, Nalan Mei found a brocade box and put away the jasper flute that she always carried with her.

That night, Nalan Mei got drunk while holding the wine jar alone.

Then, wept bitterly.
