Chapter 341 Collapse
The fifth prince returned to the house. He just changed his clothes and took a sip of tea. He sighed and was about to tell Li Tian about the sadness of going to the palace of Jian'an County. There was a very urgent footsteps outside. The little girl raised the curtain while reported it. A small servant stepped into the house and said urgently, "The king of Xuanjinning County met him." The fifth prince had jumped off the kang, half turned around and dressed, and asked urgently, "Who announced it? Prince?"
"It's the official family," the little servant replied, "The official family is awake and wants to see the fifth master."
Ah? Oh!" The fifth prince quickly took the bandage from Li Tian's hand and turned his head to Li Tian as he walked out, saying, "Dad is awake! I'm leaving. I don't know how my father will be, and I don't know when he will come back. Don't wait for me. Li Tian answered and followed the fifth prince out of the weeping door. After a while, he turned back to the kang and looked at the candlelight on the kang.
Since the establishment of the prince, the official's condition has been reported almost every day without concealment. These days, the official has been fainting, and it seems that there is no time to wake up. Now that he is awake, and he still wants to see Goro... Only Goro has been summoned? Li Tian raised her voice and called Qingzhi in and ordered, "Let someone ask if the third master and the fourth master have entered the palace!" Qingzhi understood as soon as he heard it, answered, and hurried out to send a message in person.
Li Tian slowly sat back and didn't have much time. Qingzhi hurried in and bent his knees and said, "I only called the fifth master." Li Tian frowned slightly and quickly opened his instructions and ordered, "Let people stare. If the third or fourth master enters the palace, no matter when, report in immediately." Qingzhi looked up at Li Tian. Li Tian sighed and said, "Mother Xiong, Mr. Shui, and Yue Niang, please come in. The official family will be about a day or two." Qingzhi shook gently, answered in a low voice, and hurried out to send a message.
Mama Xiong and others came in, Li Tian discussed the arrangements with the people, and it was late at night to rest.
The fifth prince followed the little servant and hurried to the official's bedroom, but was stopped outside. The official was talking to the prince and told him not to disturb.
In the bedroom, the official lay straight on **, and the hands on the half-old bright yellow quilt were so dry that they could no longer see life. The prince half knelt and half sat in front of the bed and stepped on his feet. He held one hand of the official's hand in his hands. The two lines of tears on his face were clearly visible. Zheng Daguan stood at the end of the bed two or three steps in a daze and stared at the official family in a daze. He seems to have suddenly aged for more than ten years.
"Xiaoyue, I have a headache. Rub it for me." The official's voice was vague but extremely soft, as if the 17- or 18-year-old young man was talking about love. The prince was stunned and subconsciously turned his head to look at the official. Zheng's tears were cloudy. He circled from behind the prince and gently rubbed his temples for the official family.
"Xiaoyue, is that you?" The official raised his hand and tried to hold the hands pressed on his head: "Are you here to pick me up? Xiaoyue, where have you been? I miss you, thinking day and night, but I just can't dream of you. Where have you been? I asked Master Jian to come to you. He said you were gone. Where have you been? I'm here. Where can you go? Xiaoyue, I miss you. You finally came. Did you come to pick me up? The prince looked at the official in a daze. Zheng Daguan fell with tears and his hands trembled so much that he could hardly hold it down.
"Xiaoyue, don't be afraid. With me in the future, I will never let anyone bully you." The official's hand was not raised, trembling and smashing down, but the voice was high: "Let's see who dares look down on you! No one... Xiaoyue, wait, I want them all to kneel at your feet. Xiaoyue, they are all kneeling at your feet, do you see? ......”
"Dad!" The prince clenched the official's hand and choked, but the official was immersed in the chaos between the past and reality: "Xiaoyue, my wife, I'm coming, don't go, wait for me... Xiaoyue, wait for me..." The official's voice was sad and sobbed. The prince held his father's hand against his forehead, tears fell like rain, and Zheng's hand was gently. He raised it and looked at the official family who exhaled and fell asleep one after another, and was stunned to see his mind.
The fifth prince paced back and forth under the porch. He had been waiting for almost an hour, and there was no movement in the room. What happened to his father? The fifth prince stopped at the door of the main hall and looked anxiously at the dark green brocade curtain, which did not move. The fifth prince stared at it for a long time, lowered his head and put his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth.
In the hall, the prince sat in front of the bed and his feet collapsed. He looked distracted at his father who fell asleep again. I don't know how long it took. His neck stiffly and slowly turned his head to look at Zheng Daguan and whispered, "Is your mother really dead?" Zheng Daguan shivered and looked straight at the prince. After a while, he looked away and said, "Queen Cining is seriously ill..."
"Well," after a frightening silence, the prince sighed and looked at the sleepy official and whispered to herself: "My mother told me two regretful things before she left. One is that she failed to take me up in person, and the other is sorry for Sister Ning. She didn't mention her father." Zheng's eyes crossed the official and didn't know where to look. He heard the prince's words, but it seemed that he didn't hear anything. He seemed to go back to that day. Among the new maids in the courtyard, he saw the Mingyue, who was thinner than everyone else and was frightened... I liked her, loved her, and did everything for her. I'm going to... She is like a grass that is about to dry up, moistening and fresh little by little, but gradually withering...
"...Brother Zheng, Princess Minghua's hairpin's shiny eyes, I just took a look. I really don't want it. I don't want that hairpin at all. That's not what I should think of. I told my grandfather, why don't I believe it? ...I'm a concubine and I'm a slave. Shouldn't you look down on me? I'm so angry... Brother Zheng, I just want to see you often. I've never wanted to be a princess. I'm satisfied with my background. I haven't thought much about it... Brother Zheng, I miss you, and my heart is broken... So what if everyone in the world kneels in front of me? I don't want these..." Zheng's heart was full of old sourness, and his sore eyes were so painful that he wanted to cry.
The fifth prince frowned and looked at the drip in the corner of the porch. It had been two hours. The fifth prince hesitated for a long time and stamped his feet to the door of the hall. He was about to speak. Suddenly, he heard a cry in the hall. The fifth prince staggered at his feet. This was the voice of the prince. Did his father leave?
"Fifth Master, the mountain mausoleum collapsed." Zheng's words recalled the fifth prince from his confusion, "Are you gone? Dad? Let's go!" Although it was something that had been thought of for a long time, the fifth prince was still stunned. Dad!" After a moment of confusion, the fifth prince stamped his feet and rushed into the hall crying, knelt behind the prince, picked the hard gold brick floor with his hands, and howled with his head.
