Distressed Concubine

Chapter 63
Bei Gongcheng stared at Bei Gongchu, and patted him on the shoulder with trembling hands after a long time. He sat on the other side weakly, covered his face with his hands, and did not move for a long time.

Among the many children of Brother Huang, Fourteen is the most talented and intelligent.He also loves to pester him to let him teach martial arts. Their uncle and nephew have a very good relationship. Brother Huang and Shisi are the only light in his despair of the royal family.He has no heirs, and he doesn't want to have heirs. He is afraid of losing them, and he is afraid that those lives that are too fast to grasp will slip away from his fingertips.

These years, he almost regarded Fourteen as his own child.Unexpectedly, within half a month, what was waiting for him was a lonely grave.

"Where is the burial? I'll go and see it another day." After a long time, his hoarse voice came, and when he looked up again, there were only faint wet marks in the corners of his eyes.

"On Baifeng Mountain, under the big cypress tree. When he left, he said he didn't want to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. He wanted to wait for you to come back on Baifeng and teach him martial arts."

When Bei Gongchu said this, he finally broke down in tears, and tears slowly flowed from his red eyes.

Bei Gongcheng stared blankly at nothingness, but with slightly trembling fingers, he took the teacup and slowly sprinkled it into the ground.

The water seeped into the floor tiles quickly until it disappeared, just like the short life of a person, either returning to the soil, or dispersing in the air, no trace of existence can be found.

Life is so small, and everything is so pale and powerless in front of it.

How long can he live?He didn't know, but Bei Gongcheng's heart became clearer and clearer. It would be a pity if no one would join hands with him to enjoy the prosperity and overlook the mountains and rivers in this life.

And he also wants to have his own child more and more, a child that belongs to him and her.

In the past, I was afraid of losing, but now I am afraid that I will not even have the chance to lose.

It's been six days, so... Miss her.

The two were silent for a long time, and neither of them spoke.

Until the golden sun breaks through the morning mist and penetrates the panes.Beigong Chucai wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up and said, "I'm going to court, you should have a good rest, at dusk, I'll be waiting for you on the White Peak."

Bei Gongcheng nodded slightly, and got up to send him off respectfully.

Before going out, Beigong Chu suddenly turned his head. "Go and see Yuran, after all, she is pregnant with your blood, the child of the Beigong family... I can't afford it."

He paused, and his black eyes froze instantly.

In the Zhuoyu Building, Nalan Ruixue has been in a state of undressed clothing for the third day since the day he left, and Xu Ying's heart aches when she sees her red eyes.

As night fell, Xu Ying pushed the door in with a stewed chicken soup with longan and red dates.

At this moment, she was the only one in Huage, Xu Ying sat beside her, raised the oil lamp a bit higher, and then pushed the soup pot in front of her.

"Eat something and rest for a while, your desperate temper is exactly the same as your mother." She smiled gently, and her words of reproach revealed a trace of concern.

Nalan Ruixue raised her eyes, looked at Aunt Xu who was looking at her lovingly from her side, with a slight smile on her lips, nodded and pushed away the work in her hand, and picked up the spoon to savor it carefully.

"Aunt Xu, there is no one at the moment, so take off the mask, it will be unbearable to wear it for a long time."

Xu Ying paused for a moment, nodded, and lifted her bare hands on her face. The ordinary and beautiful woman's face was suddenly changed into an all-powerful appearance, with red lips and catkins, and her eyebrows were swept away.Although the years have left some traces between her brows, it is undeniable that such a face, even though it is over forty now, is still beautiful, making it hard to take your eyes off it.

She seemed to smile, and two dimples appeared on the corners of her lips. Nalan Ruixue was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that she had never seen Aunt Xu's face, but the moment she smiled, a person quickly appeared in her mind.

A person who distracted her from time to time in the past three days and smiled for no reason from time to time.

Thinking of him, I felt inexplicably twitched, my expression quickly dimmed, Qiu Tong turned around, and smiled at Aunt Xu: "Aunt Xu is still so beautiful at forty, Rui Xue is so envious."

Xu Ying smiled lightly. "You're making fun of me. Your mother is a real beauty, and you will give birth, but you actually picked the best of your parents to grow up." Mentioning Susan, Xu Ying's expression also became sad. "It's a pity that your mother left early, hey. I told her to stop playing with those things. She didn't listen, and the poison penetrated into the bone marrow. Long-term treatment is ineffective."

Thinking of this, Nalan Ruixue thought, and asked, "Why does my mother like drugs so much?"

Xu Ying's body was slightly startled, her expression faded and she turned her head away. "Your great-grandfather's family is a family of pharmacopoeia, and has practiced medicine for generations, so your mother likes it."

The flickering expression did not escape Nalan Ruixue's eyes. To be honest, she was very curious about her great-grandfather's house, but her father didn't want to talk about it, and Aunt Xu didn't want to mention it either.After Congniang's death, she has checked all the medical families in Nantong surnamed Su, but she didn't find any one that fit her.

Could it be that her mother is not from Nantong?

Seeing her puzzled eyes, Xu Ying had no choice but to change the subject in embarrassment. "That young man who came that day, do you know him well?"

Mentioning him, Nalan Ruixue's cheeks flushed slightly, she lowered her head and pecked at the soup, and said softly: "I know a little, I'm not very familiar."

Thinking about it carefully, it is true that I am not very familiar with him. Apart from being relatively clear about his body, I am not very familiar with the rest.

"Oh." Xu Ying looked a little lonely when she heard the words, glanced at her who was also preoccupied, stroked the hair on her shoulders, brushed it behind her ears, and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful, that kid Ye Yun has it too." Luckily, after waiting for so many years, I have finally waited for you."

But there was a gloomy feeling in her heart, if her child was still there, Xue'er would have been her daughter-in-law long ago.

Back then, she fled to Nantong with the help of Susan. Later, Susan married Nalan Xingde and had a daughter.

Because she couldn't forget the scene when Beichang met Beigong Yuexue that year.Later, when she was pregnant with the child, Bei Gong Yue said with a smile.If it's a princess, it's called Xue'er, and if it's a prince, it's called Rui'er.

It's a pity that her Rui'er has left her forever, and it's getting cold in her arms. The bright red all over the ground is the eternal pain in her heart.

Susan knew this, and in order to express her affection, she named her daughter Ruixue.After so many years, Rui Xue has become her own daughter, and seeing that she is finally going to get married, as an aunt, she is very reluctant to part with her.

It's like gouging flesh out of my heart, it hurts a lot.I don't know if it's really reluctance, or if I feel sorry for her Rui'er.

Nalan Ruixue smiled lightly. "Let him wait any longer, and I feel like I'm about to become a sinner."

"There is no sin. Sometimes the emotional debt is owed. If you hesitate less, you won't hurt the person who really loves you." Xu Ying sighed slightly. "You drink and rest early, I'll go to bed first."

The figure turned around, and in the dim flower pavilion, Nalan Ruixue was staring at the candlelight in a daze.

If I insist on marrying Su Mo, will I hurt him?A dry wry smile appeared on the corner of her lips, she had no way out, but walked towards the cliff step by step.Just wait for a leap, and the dream will come to nothing.

At noon of the second day, she was staying up all night, planning to take a nap, when Qingluo rushed in eagerly.

"Miss! Something happened, something happened."

She was stunned by the scattered words in the panting, and her sharp eyes lifted. "What's wrong!"

"Cheng, Prince Sheng's trip to choose a concubine, take it, cancel it." Qingluo gasped, her face full of anger. "Today, I listened to your instructions and went to the prison to deal with the remaining shopkeepers. When I went out, I saw the guard next to Prince Sheng riding a fast horse towards the palace. An hour later, there was an imperial list posted, saying that Prince Sheng The trip to choose a concubine is cancelled. Miss, I'm afraid this matter is the intention of Prince Sheng himself!"

alone?Yes, in this case, no one can stop him except his own will.Nalan Ruixue frowned slightly, feeling that things were not simple.

Did something happen to him?In an instant, I felt that my hands and feet were cold, and the ominous cloud in my heart was getting stronger and stronger.

He will definitely give her news!
"Go!" Without stopping, he stood up neatly.

As soon as he walked to the door, Ye Yun had already led the horse. When he saw her come out, he smiled lightly. "I'll accompany you back."

"Okay." Signaling Qingluo to stay, Nalan Ruixue leapt up on the horse, ran one after the other with Ye Yun, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

It was almost nightfall, the two of them both arrived in Shangjing, and after entering the city gate, they heard the sound of bustling discussions.

"Prince Cheng is using me from Nantong as an actor?"

"That's right, I heard that the ladies of the big family are eagerly getting ready, and I heard how many families are crying today."

"Tsk tsk tsk, just say that Prince Sheng is not a womanizer, why did he come to Nantong to choose a concubine?"

"Didn't Colonel Su strictly check all the stores a while ago? I heard from reliable sources that Captain Su was investigating secret posts. Do you think it has something to do with it?"

"You mean, Prince Sheng's choice of concubine is fake? He actually wants to attack me in Nantong?"

"I don't think so."

The sound of a group of people's discussion reached the ears of the two, and Nalan Ruixue felt that the situation was very bad. Although it would be a good thing for him to leave if he failed to choose a concubine, the inexplicable worry in his heart was like a flood that opened the gate, and the flood was out of control.

Ye Yun glanced worriedly at her pale complexion and pale blue eye sockets.These few days she worked desperately, she stayed up all night last night, and now she has been running around for half a day, she is afraid that her body will not be able to hold on anymore.

"Take control!" Nalan Ruixue flew to the back door of the General's Mansion, and jumped down. The moment she landed, she felt pitch black in front of her eyes, and felt dizzy. embrace.

Ye Yun hugged her worriedly, stretched out his hand and stroked her cold forehead covered with cold sweat, frowned with thick brows, he hugged her horizontally involuntarily, and walked into the courtyard.

In the banyan forest not far from the courtyard, Jiang Feng looked at the scene in front of him, clutching the letter tightly in his hand, and angrily hit the tree trunk with a hammer, knocking off several pieces of bark.

Putting the letter into his arms, he got on his horse and turned to leave.

Ye Yun carried her into the dark pavilion, laid her flat on the bed, and went to look for an oil lamp. He remembered that there was a big lamp in front of the desk. He polished the flint and looked at what was covered with silk on the desk.

Curiosity was lifted, and the amber eyes were stunned for a long time.

In the scroll painting, there is a strikingly handsome and lifelike man, his eyes are so gentle as water, which seems to melt everything in the world, and there are two dimples on the corners of his lips.

The smile is so indifferent, but also so soft, it burns people's eyes.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he shook his hands, slowly covered the silk, and walked to the bedside holding the lamp.

Looking at Nalan Ruixue who opened her eyes, she smiled faintly. "I'll get you something to eat first, and you rest for a while."

After all, he turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, his hand was grabbed, he paused, he looked back and smiled: "What's wrong?"

"I'm not hungry." She trembled her lips and said slowly.

It's not that she didn't see what Ye Yun was looking at, but he was still able to smile at her so calmly. Such tolerance and pretense made her feel more guilty, and she was so afraid that Ye Yun would smile at her lightly.

Every smile of his is that he is trying his best to bear his sadness, and he makes her feel distressed and heartbroken.

She felt like a cruel executioner, waiting for his devotion and love piece by piece.

A few tears fell unconsciously from the corner of his eyes, Ye Yun's heart trembled, he raised his hand to gently wipe it away, and said softly: "Why are you crying again? You haven't cried for many years, what's going on recently?"

"Yun, sing for me." She just smiled and avoided the topic.

Ye Yun's face was instantly embarrassed, and he was dissatisfied: "It's better...don't."
