Yijuan cloud

Chapter 88 No more mother
Prince Yi freed up a hand and closed the window tightly, and the bursts of cold air dissipated.

There was a kang on the floor and a charcoal basin in the house. It was already very warm. He was still wrapped in Prince Yi's cloak. He was suffocated by the heat and his mind was dizzy, as if he was dreaming.

Seeing that I calmed down, Prince Yi gently let go of me, took off my cloak, and called me worriedly: "Cirrus Cloud?"

His eye circles were also red, and I remembered that he no longer had a mother. Thinking of this, my tears rolled down like beads, but I stopped crying and just lay on the table and cried silently.

The moonlight is clear, and light can shine through the window paper.

I drew circles on the case with my fingers and said in a hoarse voice: "I never thought that I would never see my mother again. Although I knew that it would be difficult for them to live in troubled times, but with my mother and Uncle Zhao , Aunt Xue’s abilities, and the belongings she brought with her when she left home, there’s no way they can survive safely.”

"I worked hard to save money and was not willing to spend even a penny every month, just because I wanted to find them one day. I also asked Cao Qianhu and Brother Fan to help me find my relatives. I also asked you to find my mother and the others because they saved your life. .”

"Even Xing'er gave up, but I never gave up. I thought it didn't matter if I couldn't find it for a while. If I kept searching day by day, year by year, I would always find it... I was wrong. I always felt that the future was long, but I forgot No matter how deep our fate is, it will eventually break up, and my mother... will also be separated from me... heaven and earth forever."

I turned my head, looked at his figure with tearful eyes, and choked with sobs: "Xianyi, I will never see my mother again." After saying that, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

He stretched out his arms to hug me, and I lay on his shoulder, crying uncontrollably. I couldn't stop even if I wanted to stop. The sadness and regret were like waves, and every time they came, my heart was in agony. You can open your mouth and bite his shoulder, bite hard, bite hard, and then you can dispel the huge grief a little bit.

The door curtain was lifted, and Linghua led Zhuqing in.

I put away my mother's turquoise rosary and said to Zhuqing: "Sit down quickly. I have something to ask you. I was supposed to go find you, but I caught the cold and couldn't go out, so I can only trouble you." I came here for a quick visit, Linghua, please bring me some tea."

Zhu Qing said hurriedly: "Miss Lin is really embarrassing Zhu Qing. I came here right away. If you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."

I nodded lightly, Linghua came in with tea, and Zhuqing still stood there respectfully.

"You should sit down, otherwise how can we have a good chat." I said hoarsely.

Zhuqing had no choice but to sit on the edge of the chair.

I coughed twice and said softly: "My mother... left two months ago. What was it like when you... went to my house?"

"The local area is a small fishing port. The location is remote, so there is no disaster of war. The Lin family's house is one of the best in the area. When I went there, the family was having a funeral. The mourning hall was in the main hall. Everyone in the family wore mourning clothes. Mrs. Lin's coffin It’s red-heart cypress.”

Zhuqing lowered his eyes slightly, and his voice was both soft and serious. Although I didn't say what I wanted to know, he already understood what I was thinking.

"Zhuqing also attended Mrs. Lin's funeral. The cemetery was chosen on the mountain next to the local temple, surrounded by mountains and rivers. You can also hear the sound of bells ringing and chanting in the temple. Mr. Lin invited the monks from the temple to chant sutras for his wife for three days. ... An aunt named Xue from the girl's family was in charge of the whole process. When she learned that the girl was a slave, she quickly called me and Mr. Lin to redeem the girl... The rosary in the girl's hand was left by that aunt. Please bring the lady’s relics to the girl.”

I subconsciously shook my hand and held the rosary in my heart. I couldn't speak for a while, and Zhu Qing also fell silent.

"So, my mother left in pretty good shape."

I turned away and raised my hand to wipe the tears from my face.

As soon as Zhuqing left, Prince Yi came.

I saw that there was no drop of water on his head, so I whispered, "Have you heard everything?" Linghua took his cloak and quietly stepped back.

Prince Yi walked to the couch and gently held my head.

"I know it's difficult for you to accept it for a while, and I also know that you don't want to believe it, and you have doubts in your heart. I have asked Zhu Qing about this, and Zhu Qing has also secretly investigated it at your house. Everything is true."

I coughed violently, and he patted my back and brought me tea to drink.

I pushed the tea bowl away, grabbed his arm with both hands, looked up at him, and said, "Xianyi, I'm going to go there. I'll leave in a few days. I want to go and see it in person."

He stretched out his hand to caress my cheek, wiped the bottom and corners of my eyes with his fingertips, and said softly: "Okay, I'll let Zhuqing lead a team of guards to escort you."

I nodded vigorously.

"But you have to recover from your illness first. Look, it's still snowing heavily outside. How can you stand the fatigue of traveling and riding when you're sick?"

"Okay." I wiped my eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I just have a cold. I will be fine after drinking a few doses of medicine."

When he learned that my mother had passed away, Wen Jin came to see me every day, personally ordered people to prepare the medicine, and ordered the kitchen to prepare light and delicious side dishes.

On the third day of my illness, Wen Jin came early in the morning, looked at me carefully and said, "I look much better."

I said: "It's much better. It's nothing originally. I should be able to leave in less than two days."

Wen Jin sighed and said, "I know I can't advise you. Anyway, you and your group should be careful on your way. When it gets dark, check out the inns and don't rush on your way. I heard that several cities were occupied by King Jin's people." The emperor mobilized all the troops and horses to rush to rescue, but they were all defeated. Only General Fan can hold on, but he can't withstand the chaos everywhere."

"It would be great if General Chang could rush to help, but General Chang is fighting the Japanese pirates. The Emperor issued an order to ask General Chang to come to the Central Plains. General Chang can't get away... Our border is still relatively peaceful. .”

I pondered for a moment and said, "I can't care about that much now. I have to go back and burn incense for my mother."

During the past few days of recuperation, Linghua was watching and preparing all the luggage.

I just copied the scriptures every day for several days, and my unsettled mood gradually became calmer.

On this day, I was copying scriptures, and Prince Yi sat opposite me and read.

Linghua came in, holding a black cloak in her hand, and said: "Girl, look, the big cloak that the prince ordered for the girl is ready. I heard that it is made of black fox leather, which is better than mink. Look, The fur is shiny and shiny, and it really makes you feel comfortable and warm just by looking at it.”

I looked at the black color and said in a daze: "Everything in the world is empty. Only its emptiness can accommodate all things. If this is the case, no matter whether it is a black fox or a mink, they will all have the same clothes."

Prince Yi put down the book, took away my pen, and said: "If you copy the scriptures again, even the mortal world will look down on it. I'll just watch you. Pack it up and let's go to the stock market to have a look. Yesterday I The market is open, there are a lot of gadgets inside, let’s go and relax.”
