MTL - Feng Jue of Ancient and Modern-Chapter 12 Depressed
In the inner courtyard of the palace, the queen sat on the couch and reviewed the memorial. On the bed opposite her, Xuan Lingxi was lying with her eyes closed, and she frowned from time to time, as if she was sleeping very unsteadily.
"Don't go, don't—mother—"
Xuan Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, gasping for breath, her face covered in sweat. Before she could discover the environment she was in, she heard a familiar voice.
"The rhino is awake?"
Xuan Lingxi was startled, turned her head a little and saw the queen, and at the same time found her environment. Her heart was bitter, and her throat was so dry that she could only make a hoarse voice.
"I am the only one left in the Xuan family. After me, the Xuan family has no blood. Your goal has been achieved."
The queen smiled slightly, got up, walked to the bed and sat down, took the tea cup herself, and fed the water to her lips. Xuan Lingxi looked at her indifferently, not speaking or drinking water. The queen still looked at her with gentle and smiling eyes. Seeing that she didn't drink, the queen was not annoyed, she just put the teacup back.
The queen leaned forward and licked and kissed on her pale lips, until her lips were red, before letting go of her, "No, I have only one purpose, that the rhinoceros will always be with me around."
"I have done what I promised the late emperor. Now the borders are smooth, the country is prosperous and the people are prosperous, even if it is not the country's coming to the dynasty, it is still a scene of peace and prosperity. I am worthy of the former emperor and worthy of my ancestors."
"But I am ashamed of my mother and ashamed of my ancestors. Your Majesty forced me to this point, and asked me to have no face to face the ancestors of the Xuan family."
The queen pressed her forehead against Xuan Lingxi, her movements were gentle, but she said cruel words, "I will never let you go."
Xuan Lingxi closed her eyes in pain. The set marriage was destroyed, her mother left with regret, and now she is trapped in the palace, she really can no longer face such an empress.
"There is no blessing in consonance, and I have lost His Majesty's favor. Please take back this jade."
"You promised me that I would not take it off! You promised that I would take it with me even when I entered the grave!"
"Your Majesty's untrustworthiness is also due to His Majesty's immorality. Please forgive me."
"You want to escape me in this way, never mind."
The queen was furious, raised her hand and waved Xuan Lingxi's hands away, and Xuan Lingxi was also thrown onto the bed. And that jade jue happened to fall into the brazier.
The queen tore off Xuan Lingxi's clothes, "Even if you go to Avici Hell, you can never leave me. You can only be mine."
As if the queen had never heard of it, Xuan Lingxi had no hope of closing her eyes.
And the queen's neckline fell out of the same jade. Hanging around the neck and falling on Xuan Lingxi's body, it was cold and moist.
After a long time, the queen got up and took out the hot jade in the brazier with jade chopsticks. On the jade jue, it seemed to be hot and steamed with white gas, but it didn't touch the slightest bit of dust.
The queen looked at Yu Jue and said softly, "Xi'er, don't be willful in the future, you can't take it off again."
This is a treasure of the Southerners. It is said that it was originally owned by a pair of loving women, and now the phoenix pattern on it does not exist. Because the southerners respect women and are not bound by morality and etiquette, the two loved each other until they died, and they also turned into two phoenixes, attached to the jade. Later, the two jade Jue wandered, but as long as the person who loves them wears them, they will definitely be able to join hands with white heads.
After the queen heard about such a rumor, she secretly ordered someone to look for it, and this appeared here.
The queen gently stroked Xuan Lingxi's back, and said softly: "Xi'er, bear with the pain, it will be fine soon." Then she tied Xuan Lingxi's limbs to the bedpost with cloth strips superior. And Xuan Lingxi didn't say a word, just let her do it.
The queen took the still hot jade and placed it gently on Xuan Lingxi's back. As soon as the scalding temperature touched the skin, a thick plume of smoke rose up, and the white smoke on the jade seemed to seep into the skin little by little.
Xuan Lingxi screamed, her limbs struggled, and her wrists and ankles suddenly turned red. The queen pressed her tightly, "Xi'er, bear with it."
I don't know how long, Xuan Lingxi fainted from the pain, the queen wiped the sweat on her face and took off the jade. Yu Jue has returned to the cold and warm temperature. The queen took a lanyard and hung Yu Jue around Xuan Lingxi's neck again. Only then did she look at the pattern printed by Yu Jue.
The queen carefully touched it with her fingertips, there was no sign of being burned or even red and swollen, but the appearance and lines of the phoenix-shaped jade were clearly printed on the skin.
What a pair!
The queen leaned over and kissed the jade seal, her eyes were full of impetus.
Autumn and winter come, day after day, year after year. Xuan Lingxi's heart is depressed, and she has no hope of living, and her body is weakening day by day. The queen urgently called the world's famous doctors, but she still couldn't save a dead heart.
"Xi'er, don't use this method to escape me." The queen hugged Xuan Lingxi with grief in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I cannot fulfill my last wish to my parents, it is unfilial. To Your Majesty, I cannot keep my oath, it is unrighteous. Disloyalty and unfilial piety, I should be punished.”
"Xi'er, I was wrong, I should be punished, not you."
"Lingxi asks your Majesty one last thing. If there is an afterlife, Lingxi only asks for the well-being of her parents, just to live a normal life, and to never meet your Majesty again."
"No...I won't agree." The queen gritted her teeth and spat out a few words, she hugged the person in her arms tightly.
Xuan Lingxi chuckled softly, "Your Majesty is still the same, you don't understand the heart of a lover..."
The ministers remonstrated, the emperor dismissed the court officials, and removed the remonstrance. In 194, the Empress died and was buried in the same coffin with Queen Xuan.
When Qi Xuning woke up, she felt weak all over. She touched her forehead and it turned out that she had a fever. He touched the phone with his eyes closed, and called Zhong Lele.
"Come to the room."
As soon as the call was connected, Qi Xuning ordered directly. Her voice was a little hoarse, and Zhong Lele hurriedly asked, "Sister, are you sick? I'll go up right away."
Zhong Lele hung up the phone and got up quickly, waking up Xiaoya who was in the same room.
"Xiaoya, wake up."
"Lele, what's the matter?" Xiaoya was suddenly woken up and yawned in a daze.
"Sister seems to be ill, so I have to go up and take a look." Zhong Lele quickly got dressed.
When Xiaoya heard this, she immediately woke up, and hurriedly got up and put on her clothes.
They went straight to Qi Xuning's room without disturbing the others. It just so happened that Zhong Lele had the door card, so he opened the door and went in without knocking.
"Pop." Zhong Lele turned on the light, Xiaoya immediately went to find the spare medicine box in the drawer, and poured another cup of hot water. Zhong Lele took the lead in entering the inner room. After turning on the lights in the inner room, he saw Qi Xuning who was lying on the bed frowning tightly, his face was ugly, and his lips were dry and white.
"Sister..." Zhong Lele called out cautiously and touched Qi Xuning's forehead, which was very hot.
"It's only three o'clock. Sister, I'll measure your temperature first." Seeing Xiaoya come in with a medicine box, Zhong Lele said softly.
Xiaoya looked at Qi Xuning's face and was worried. She hurriedly handed the medicine box to Zhong Lele, and put the water glass on the bedside table. Zhong Lele quickly took out the thermometer, put it in Qi Xuning's mouth after sterilization, took it out 3 minutes later, and it turned out that he had a fever.
Zhong Lele found the antipyretic medicine in the medicine cabinet, "Sister, take a antipyretic medicine first, what else is wrong with you? Do you need me to ask a doctor to come and take a look? "
"No, just take the medicine. You and the director take a good leave, don't tell the family, and don't disturb others." Qi Xuning opened his heavy eyelids, ready to sit up and take some medicine. Zhong Lele hurriedly helped her up, and Xiaoya quickly stuffed a pillow behind her.
"Don't worry, sister, I didn't disturb the others, I'll ask the director for leave in a while."
After taking the medicine and drinking some water, Qi Xuning felt his throat moisturised. She closed her eyes again and rested quietly.
Zhong Lele pulled the quilt for her, "Sister, you rest first, Xiaoya and I are guarding in the living room." After speaking, he turned on the bedside lamp and walked out of the room with Xiaoya , turn off the headlights by the way.
Zhong Lele did not close the door tightly, leaving a gap, worried that Qi Xuning would not hear when he called them again.
Qi Xuning suppressed the urge to cough. Now she is thinking of the past life for a while, and this life for a while. Xuan Lingxi's face and Yu Lingxi's face appear alternately, one moment is the scene where she gets along with Xuan Lingxi, and the other is the scene where she gets along with Yu Lingxi. And the birthmarks on the backs of Yu Jue and Yu Lingxi appeared from time to time. Qi Xuning only felt his head swell, and both sides of his temples jumped.
She gave a wry smile.
She doesn't want to hurt the rhino, she doesn't want to.
"Just, don't meet His Majesty again!"
"Your Majesty is still the same, you don't understand the heart of a lover..."
Qi Xuning's mind was a mess, but in the end there were only these two sentences left.
At the moment when she met Xier again, after she took that impulsive step, she hurt her again.
Xier is right, she never understands the heart of a lover, and she never understands the heart of Xier. Either past or present.
A bell sounded suddenly in Qi Xuning's mind, as if shaking all the distracting thoughts in her mind. Gradually, her thoughts began to slow down, getting heavier and heavier, and then she fell asleep.
Xiaoya glanced at the door and said in a low voice, "Yesterday was fine, why did you have a fever all of a sudden? My sister is in good health and has never been ill."
"Yes, I hope the medicine will work. After a while, I will go in and see if it still burns."
The two sat on the sofa, one of them occupying the head.
"Hey Lele, you said, it's not really what happened last night, right?" Xiaoya suddenly approached Zhong Lele and asked.
Zhong Lele rolled her eyes and threw it at her, "What nonsense, you don't understand sister's temperament? Then what kind of thing is Liu Yonghao, and he has that ability? Look at it, wait until Mr. Ye knows. Now, I don't know how to peel him. I guess my sister is too tired from filming recently. Remember, if someone asks you tomorrow, don't say too much, just say it's overworked, just take a rest. Okay, don't talk Well, it's still early, you rest for a while, I'll watch."
"Yeah, I see. You can rest, you have a lot of things to do at dawn, you are also good at taking care of sister, now I'll just keep an eye on it, I'll remember to see if the fever has subsided. Yes." Xiaoya nodded and said softly, looked around the room, got up and went to the cabinet to get two blankets, and handed one to Zhong Lele.
Zhong Lele is also welcome, she has to find the director at dawn.
"Okay, I'll squint for a while. You pay attention to the movement inside."
"Okay, I see. By the way, Lele, why don't you tell Sister Dan now?"
"Let's not talk about it, now that Sister Dan knows and can't get over, she has to worry. Wait and see, and tell her when it's dawn."
"Well, go to sleep first."
As soon as she lay down, Zhong Lele felt that her eyelids began to fight, and she snored lightly after a while. However, she remembered things in her heart and worried about Qi Xuning, and she hadn't slept very well all the time.
Xiaoya was wrapped in a blanket and huddled in the corner of the sofa, looking at the phone while paying attention to the interior.
