The Bright Moon Ballad

Chapter 55 The End (End 4)

Chapter 55 The Doomed End (End Part 4)

The old man on the night patrol has knocked on the fourth update. There are no stars in the sky outside the window. A full moon is lonely in a veil and looks at me quietly.

When he came back from Dehui Building, the thirteenth master had been waiting in the house for a long time. He took a box of moon cakes and said to me, "It was made by the imperial chef. The fourth brother thought it was delicious and asked me to bring some to you. He couldn't come out because he was busy in the palace."

"Master Thirteen, is the fourteenth Master imprisoned in Tangshan?" I waved down the box of moon cakes and fell heavily from his hand. Some lay on the ground and some rolled around.

"Who told you?" The thirteenth master looked at Zhao'er.

"How dare they reveal a word? I heard it outside," I looked at the thirteenth master. "A general dared to bully the prince. The fourteenth master was so laughed at. What on earth did he do? How can you be so unfriendly?"

"It made a scene in the mourning hall, instigated the empress dowager Renshou not accept the canonation, and even joined forces with the minister to question the edict of the late emperor," the thirteenth master counted A Xing's crimes one by one, "Mu Nian, how can you ask the fourth brother to let him go? If it were you, would you let him go? How can the fourth brother be vague about the stability of the Qing Dynasty?

"Jiangshan Society," I was unable to sit back on the chair and said, "Are you so for the country or because of the throne?"

"Mu Nian, you should know the fourth brother for so many years," the thirteenth master seemed to be a little angry, "Now you have said such a thing. Are you really as the fourth brother said that you can only tolerate the fourteenth brother in your heart?

He knows why he still prevents me from being with A Xing, but he knows why he still traps me here?

"I want to see the fourth master." I said, "No, thirteenth master, please tell the emperor that I want to see him."

"Mu Nian, I said that you are too stubborn, and your insistence will only make the situation worse. Fourth brother, can't you change your heart after so many years of care and coquettishness?

"He is already alive, can there be a worse situation? The emperor's kindness is remembered, but I have already told him that the evening will not change. I turned my head and looked at the moon outside and said, "Third Master, please tell the emperor that Mu Nian is waiting for him."

In this way, he looked at the bright moon like that night until the fourth update. There were eager footsteps outside, and the sound of clothes rubbing. When he entered the room, the moon shadow outside the window went into the clouds.

"How long are you going to sit?" He came in in a black robe and said, "I just want him to stay in Tangshan without restricting him."

"What's wrong with General Fan?" My neck has stiffened, and I slowly turned my head and said, "You are the emperor. How can you keep your promise to let me go?"

He suddenly ran in front of me and pulled me up from the chair and looked at him. He said, "Your Majesty, you still know that I am the emperor. You shed tears for him, get sick for him, and ignore life and death for him, but what have you done for me? I tolerate you so much, what do you repay me? Questioning, avoidance, and indifference.

The power pinched on my arm suddenly intensified, forcing and nibbling suddenly. I clenched my teeth and pushed him away, but his strength was so strong that it seemed to break me.

It was impossible to resist him at all. I gave up the struggle and the spine of my back hit the edge of the table. He suddenly stopped again, and a heavy breath exhaled on my face.

He looked at me, as if to see me thoroughly through his glasses. I closed my eyes and said, "Who are wrong? Why is this so? Please let me go."

"Listen, I know that you can't tolerate others in your heart," he suddenly sneered, "but I won't let you go, let alone him. You will never want to see each other again."

Never want to see you again...

Axing and I will never see each other again. The boy who laughed happily on the moonlit night, the man who made a promise with me, and the lover I have been caring about for 20 years, will no longer appear in my world.

My heart is like being held and kneaded by one hand, and my breathing hurts. A Xing, I've been waiting for you for so long. Why can't I wait for the day when I hold hands with you? I have missed you for so long, why can't I keep you with me? I'd rather lose to the world, why can't I stay with you?

My illness came suddenly like a storm. I had been lying in ** for several months, but he didn't come again. The winter of Yongzheng three years is still as cold as ice. I spent the New Year alone. In the past, my mother and I had New Year's Eve dinner together. My mother always said that it was not like the Spring Festival. If she knew that I was celebrating the Spring Festival alone, I didn't know how to be sad.

The thirteenth master went everywhere to see a doctor for me, and medicine is also the best. I advised the thirteenth master not to be busy. As long as he could ask the fourth master to let me go, I would be fine, but he only said that I couldn't get out.

Ouyang Xizhou refused to see me again. My despair made him dislike it. He said that he would no longer care about my life or death. Yu'er and aunt often come to persuade me, but I really didn't spit out the soup on purpose, and I couldn't always feel that they were extremely disgusting.

When my aunt saw that I didn't even eat much, she always tried her best to let me eat something.

"Auntie, I don't want to eat it. I'm going to vomit again later. I feel uncomfortable." I looked at the osmanthus cake she brought from the house and wanted to comfort my aunt, but as soon as I saw them, I lost my appetite, and my stomach fluid was rolling like a river.

"It doesn't matter if you don't eat anything on weekdays. Can't you not eat this osmanthus cake today? Take a bite first, and you will know the meaning of it.

I looked at my aunt's meaningful eyes doubtfully and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it. It tasted good and fragrant, and it was not greasy, so I ate the whole piece.

"How about it?" Auntie asked.

"It tastes good." I took another piece and gave it to Hongxiao, who stood next to him and obediently looking at the osmanthus cake on the plate. He was only three years old but more sensible than ordinary children. The thirteenth master said that even the fourth master praised him and asked him to study with the princes in the future.

Hongxiao looked at his aunt. When his aunt nodded, he took the osmanthus cake in my hand and said, "Sister Xie."

People in their thirties were already old in ancient times, but they were called sister by him, which was a little funny. However, it's really hard to say that there were so many sons in ancient times. In the end, Mu's twenty-four elder brother gave birth to 38 years younger than the current emperor. In the past, in Ningshou Palace, Mu took the little brother to give incense to the empress dowager. She happened to meet the fourth master. The little brother called the fourth brother milky. I was almost rude. Laugh out.

"Why are you always distracted recently? Can you hear what I just said?" My aunt pushed me gently.

I just thought about the generation, but I really didn't listen to what my aunt said. I looked at her blankly.

My aunt sighed and said, "Oh, you, I asked you what you didn't think of after eating this osmanthus cake?"

I don't know what she's talking about. Have I ever eaten this osmanthus cake before, or what's the story it has?

"It's been so many years, and you naturally forget it. However, when you were a child, you always looked forward to your mother coming back to make osmanthus cake for you. After your mother came back from a few years, you could still eat the osmanthus cake she made. My aunt smiled.

Isn't my mother supposed to be Ilgen Jueluo Mu Nian's mother? My aunt hasn't seen me for several years. I thought I had changed, so I didn't doubt me, but will the mother not doubt me? After all, she is her own daughter, and she knows it best.

"Has your mother come to the capital?"

"I arrived yesterday. I entered the palace early this morning. Your Ama moved to be the governor of Yungui and specially came to the capital to thank you." My aunt took my hand and said, "It's also a careful thought. He's worried about you like this. I hope you'll be better when you see your relatives."

I don't want my aunt to know these things. I just hope that my aunt will treat me as a small child, as she said when I first arrived at the Thirteenth Master's house. But she is also a smart person. It's not easy for me to lie to her like this for so long.

"Auntie, will they come to see me?" In fact, there is no doubt that no one has arranged it carefully by the fourth master.

"Look at your stupid child's question. I just arrived last night. I didn't come to see you until I entered the palace this morning. I'm sure you will come when I find time."

I smiled awkwardly, but I hope they won't come. If I find that I'm not their daughter, how should I explain it? I have no doubt. When they see me like this, they don't know how to be sad.

"Auntie, I'm much better today. Please ask Zhaoer to help me change my clothes, or I will be worried when I see it." I lifted the quilt and asked Zhaoer to come into the house.

"You, I thought my sister would be worried that she wouldn't ruin her body like this. She's so thin. How can you hide it by wearing a few clothes?" My aunt helped me up. Hongxiao saw that Zhao'er didn't come in and ran out, thinking about calling Zhao'er.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhao'er followed Hongxiao into the room and followed her aunt to help me find a suit of water-red robes in the cabinet. I said, "Auntie didn't say that I was thin. If I wore a few more, I would look fat."

"Look at your face, you will know what it looks like. Just wait for your sister to talk about you. You can't escape wearing more clothes." My aunt smiled. My aunt has been pregnant for four months, and her stomach is slightly bulging. Looking at her happy appearance, I thought that I and A Xing could have been happy, but he destroyed everything in those years, and the seeds of hatred unconsciously grew out of my heart.

When we changed our clothes, there was a sound outside. Zhaoer walked to the door, seemed to be frightened by something, and immediately saluted: "Master, auspicious."

Is he coming?

When he came in, his face was full of fatigue, and it was thought that another minister had given him problems in the early morning. The slight wrinkles in the corners of his eyes are also so obvious. It turns out that we are no longer who we were. It has been so many years. I don't know how I feel in my heart, but after seeing him, I found that I couldn't hate him as much as I imagined, just because he was trapped in another person like me.

It should be Mu Nian's parents who came in with him. As my aunt said before, my mother is a tall and handsome person. I'm sure that when he was young, he must have been more romantic than the best-looking ninth master among several brothers, and my mother, time made her seem to just let her The temperament has become gentle. My aunt used to say that my mother was a stubborn person, but now it seems that her simple hair and light blue clothes are elegant from head to toe.

They were all surprised when they saw me. I thought they had found something, but later I realized that since he came in, I had been sitting there and looking up at him without saluting. They should be afraid that I would offend their emperor.

I got up and saluted. He came forward to the chair next to me and asked everyone to sit down.

The thirteenth master then came in and helped his aunt sit down. I went to my mother and sat down. I was already a little lame. Recently, I was sick and a little weak. A few steps actually cost me a lot of strength and time.

I sat down and saw my mother staring at my feet with tears in my eyes. I was suddenly sad and felt very guilty. I took her hand and smiled at her, and then she shook her mind and looked at me.

I looked at him and found that he had been looking at me all the time. He also looked at me when I came over, and his eyes were full of inquiry and disappointment.

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter. Since Nian'er didn't marry in the capital, I want to take him with me, so I don't miss him." Ama got up and saluted.

They must have known my relationship with the emperor. Since Ama made this request to the emperor regardless of personal reasons, she thought it was really good for her.

Zhao'er brought tea and brought a glass of water to everyone on the table. From the emperor to me, no one in the room spoke quietly, and even the sound of Zhaoer putting the cup could be heard. I wanted to come forward to help Emma, but my mother took my hand and shook her head to motion me not to move.

After holding the water, Zhao'er was retreating. He suddenly said to Zhao'er, who retreated to the door, "Pack up a guest room and come out."

Zhao'er nodded, and then he said, "Mu Nian wants a reputation, and I can let her choose by herself..."

I came forward and knelt down beside Ama and said, "Your Majesty, Ama and her mother are old, and I hope to take care of them by my side."

I can feel his hot eyes shining on me. He looks at me incredibly and he hates me. Years later, I was also wondering if the decision I made was right. Is it really the best choice to leave the capital? Or do I just want to run away from him again?
