Chapter 413
The imperial concubine Zhou Leping is so guilty that it's not entirely her responsibility. However, if she hadn't hidden the matter, she would have noticed it earlier and even avoided it as long as she didn't go the wrong way.
She was sleepy and tired. Her brain ached as if she had been cut down with a knife, but she didn't dare to sleep. The big imperial concubine was acting strangely. She had to watch.
But in my heart, it was useless to tighten the thought. Because she was hurt, she couldn't control herself. As soon as the carriage got up, she fell asleep.
The imperial concubine looked at Zhou Leping as she closed her eyes and went to sleep. She took off her outer robe and covered her face with tears. "You must know, you must know where he is, but why do you keep it from me? How can I live without him? I can't live now, but what about my winter solstice? "
In his sleep, Zhou Leping frowned and didn't know what he was dreaming about. The imperial concubine patted her on the back and murmured, "when the winter solstice was born, you were with me. You saw the child coming to this world. I have no one else to entrust. I'll give it to you... I don't worry."
It's up to you. I can rest assured.
This sentence lingers in her ears, and slowly blows into Zhou Leping's dream. She dreams of the great imperial concubine, and dreams of her supporting the orphan, so she wakes up with a fierce spirit.
At this time, it was already daybreak outside the car. The carriage drove into the capital and was heading for the palace. Zhou Leping didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw the robe on his body. With a thump in his heart, he turned to see the imperial concubine beside him. She sat there quietly and closed her eyes as if she was asleep.
Zhou Leping was relieved and gently shook her, "sister-in-law, we're home."
The big imperial concubine was shocked by her, but she fell down straight. That's why Zhou Leping saw the blood under her body, a hairpin inserted into her abdomen, and the blood on the ground was dry.
She was stunned for a long time and didn't respond. At last, the carriage stopped and the soldiers came to ask her to get off. As soon as she looked up, two lines of tears ran down her cheeks.
Zhou Leping didn't go back to his home last night, and Zhu GuanLiang didn't either. He went to the bamboo grove. The waiter over there said that Shan Ning couldn't drink any more water. He said that it might be tonight, so let him have a look.
Zhu GuanLiang went to see Shan Ning. His face was bloodless and his hands and feet were cold. He lay on the bed and sighed softly. He said he wanted to see the imperial concubine and the winter solstice, but he couldn't. He could only sigh again and then smile at him. "I didn't want you to see me like this."
Zhu GuanLiang holds his hand and calls him big brother in his voice.
Shan Ning didn't even have the strength to comfort him. In just a few days, he was thin and not mature. He had more air in and less air out. "Help me take good care of your sister-in-law and the winter solstice. I don't want him to be promising, just be healthy."
"I will."
Shan Ning nodded weakly, "good son, without big brother, in the future Qi country such a big burden can all pressure on you."
Zhu GuanLiang was speechless, holding him tightly and holding him silently.
Shan Ning left in the middle of the night, quietly. Zhu GuanLiang didn't accept the fact until his hand became cold.
He quietly accompanied Shan Ning again in the middle of the night. When he went out at dawn to ask someone to prepare for his future affairs, the guard at the door clearly saw that there were tears in his eyes, so he circled in his eyes, but he couldn't fall down.
After his death, he should have gone to the imperial mausoleum, but his death can't be known. This bamboo forest is a good place, and Jiang Shi is also buried here, so they can be regarded as companions.
Zhu GuanLiang quietly took care of Shan Ning's affairs here. Soon someone reported that the imperial concubine was dead.
His head was buzzing, and he held his eyebrows for a long time before he asked in a dumb voice, "how did you die?"
The visitor told him the cause and effect. Zhu GuanLiang forgot to ask for a wooden house when he turned back. Tears rolling in his eyes all the time fell on his cheek and hit the ground.
When Zhu GuanLiang arrived at the Imperial Palace, people were eager to place all their hopes on him.
The imperial concubine was lying in her bedroom, and her servants had already cleaned up the body. Zhou Leping stood beside the bed and didn't respond. She didn't let the doctor who was invited close to her. Until Zhu GuanLiang came, she was like a ghost and plunged into his arms. "If only I hadn't fallen asleep, how could I sleep so dead! My sister-in-law is next to me, but I... "
Zhu GuanLiang comforted her and touched the back of her head with his hand. It was sticky. He took it down and saw the blood in one hand. He broke her shoulder and turned her around. He pulled away his hair. Part of the wound on the back of his head was scabby, and some of it continued to bleed.
He said in an instant, "how can it be done? Who's calling? "
Zhou Leping ignored his question, "sister-in-law, she..."
Zhu GuanLiang's voice rose abruptly, "I ask you who's fighting!"
On the side, the soldiers who came back with them came forward to explain, and three times stressed that the people had been chopped up and thrown into the river to feed the fish.
But after hearing this, Zhu GuanLiang was still angry. He pinched Zhou Leping's shoulder and his eyes turned red. "Why don't you tell me this?"
Zhou Leping wanted to explain, but as soon as the word "I" came out, he was interrupted by Zhu GuanLiang, "why do you hide such a big thing from me? Why? Well She doesn't want to argue or quarrel now. She bows her head and admits to him, "I'm wrong. I think I can solve it. I'm willing to take responsibility for my sister-in-law's death."“ How do you take it? What do you take? If everyone is dead, can you still compensate her for her life? " When he said this, everyone on the scene took a breath. Even Zhou Leping didn't expect him to say so. Four weeks quiet for a moment, Zhou Leping also late Zheng for a while, then nodded, "OK." This change Zhu GuanLiang Leng, "what?"“ It's wrong for me to keep it from you. If you want, I can compensate my sister-in-law for my life. " General Zhang's two soldiers felt a thump in their hearts. How did they become like this? Thinking of persuading, they witnessed it. It had nothing to do with Zhou Leping. She didn't kill anyone. In order to save people, she tried her best to run faster than anyone else. She didn't say to look after herself first when she was injured. She fell asleep like that. Who knew that the imperial concubine would commit suicide! But before he opened his mouth, he heard Zhu GuanLiang roar, "go home!" Zhou Leping had no backbone to shed tears. She felt sad as if she had been cut down by someone with a knife. If she had choked twice with him before, she would have started a fight. But now she felt so sad that she couldn't speak. She had a lump in her throat that she couldn't even breathe. She looked back at the imperial concubine again, lifted her sleeve to dry her tears, bypassed Zhu GuanLiang and went out without looking back.
