Chapter 481 Extra 86 Going Down to Earth to Have Fun 26
After getting up early this morning, 59-year-old Du Chuanting lay down again.
The sedan chair stopped at Chenfeng Courtyard. Mu Qi, supported by the nanny, came to Du Chuanting's bedroom and saw Min Haojue secretly wiping tears.
Living together day and night, watching each other grow old day by day, often supporting each other to go out to see the scenery, taking care of each other when sick and entertaining each other, the relationship between her and these princes-in-law became better and better every year, and now they have become indispensable relatives to each other.
Min Haojue is now secretly wiping away tears, probably because Du Chuanting is not in good condition.
She patted Min Haojue lightly and went into the house to take a look.
The once tall and handsome man now had a head full of white hair. He couldn't eat due to illness and lay there skinny.
Perhaps because of the pain, he still frowned when he fell asleep, and he looked weak and tired.
Mu Qi walked to the head of the bed with heavy steps, and the maid brought a stool for her to sit on.
Her legs trembled a little when she bent her knees. Her leg disease had recurred today, and no amount of expensive medicine could cure it. She could only bear it.
She looked at him quietly for a while. Perhaps he had sensed something, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at her, and smiled naturally when he saw her.
"Qiqi..."
"Yeah." She couldn't control her sobs as soon as she spoke. Looking at his old appearance, he was already gasping for breath after just shouting two words.
She knew that there would be birth, aging, sickness and death, but it was so sad to actually see it with her own eyes. When had she ever seen him so fragile?
He is dying now.
She couldn't control her tears.
"Qiqi." He smiled at her while panting, his eyes full of doting, "Qiqi, don't cry. You won't be pretty if you cry."
Her tears fell even more violently. She looked at his doting eyes with tearful eyes and sobbed, "A Ting, didn't you say that you would walk behind me? Didn't you say that you would watch me walk before you go, so that you would feel at ease? How could you lie down..."
She whimpered and accused, and he smiled helplessly and held her hand, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, don't cry, okay?"
"No, you'll be fine." She looked at him stubbornly with her old eyes.
"Okay, I'll get better." He spoke each word with difficulty, with a smile on his face all the time, but his expression was visibly weak and he had no energy or spirit. It was obvious that he was holding back.
Behind Mu Qi, a group of old and handsome men stood there, all looking at him with a smile while trying to suppress their sadness.
Nan Que approached the bedside, his wrinkles becoming more obvious when he smiled, "Old Du, the last game of chess hasn't been finished yet, and I've been waiting for you. You better take good care of yourself and get better soon."
Du Chuanting also smiled, "Okay."
Mu Qi couldn't bear to see him trying so hard, so he patted his hand softly, "If you're tired, take a nap. I'm here."
Du Chuanting looked at her with concern, "Do your legs still hurt these days? Does your back hurt?"
Mu Qi's eyes softened, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
As he was talking, Du Chuanting fell asleep again without realizing it. He had already reached his limit after talking for so long.
Behind Mu Qi, the men saw him fall asleep and wiped their tears in sadness.
Mu Qi calmed down and looked back. Seeing that two people were missing, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are Old Man Wu and Old Man Jiang?"
A maid responded, "Princess, Prince Consort Changwu came back late from Chenfeng Courtyard last night and was caught in a cold. The imperial physician said he caught a cold and he just took medicine and went to bed. Prince Consort Jiang is in the pharmacy now."
Mu Qi looked worried. As people get older, they are more prone to illness, which is really heartbreaking.
Jiang Ji should be studying how to use medicine to alleviate Du Chuanting's pain, alas.
She stood up with the help of the nanny, "I'm going to go see Yue Lao Man."
As soon as he took a step, he gasped in pain from his leg and his whole body trembled.
Yue You hurriedly supported her other arm and said, "Your leg hurts again? You'd better take a good rest."
Mu Qi waved his hand and said it was no problem, but it became more and more difficult for him to walk out, so he simply took a rest in the side hall.
Two days passed like this, and one day Mu Qi woke up from his sleep and heard sobbing.
The nanny stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Prince Consort Du is dying. Please go and see him for the last time."
Her heart seemed to be hit hard by something. She was stunned for a moment and then staggered to her feet.
When she came to the bed, he looked much more energetic than the previous two days, perhaps because of a last burst of energy, but it scared her.
He saw a smile on her face and held out his hand to her, which she quickly took.
"Qiqi, don't cry." His voice was erratic, "In this life, Du Chuanting has no regrets."
He looked at her and smiled, but slowly lowered his hand without waiting for her to respond.
She stared at him blankly, tears streaming down her face instantly.
Although I can see everything clearly, my heart can't help but feel empty at this moment.
Before Du Chuanting was buried, Mu Qi fell ill.
He knew clearly that he might be intact and watching him in the sky, but it felt like he was really experiencing life and death.
She was afraid and she didn't want to experience the pain of losing her husband again.
Mu Qi never got up again after this illness.
Her younger brother, who had worked hard for half his life and also fell ill, dragged his sick body to see her. After returning, he became even more seriously ill and died the day after Mu Qi's death.
The two legendary figures who created a prosperous era passed away together. The whole country was in mourning, and the people spontaneously changed into white clothes and bowed again and again in the direction of the imperial city.
"Your Majesty, Princess, have a safe journey, wuwu..."
In the princess's mansion, 16 princes-in-law became increasingly thin and hunched, kneeling on both sides of the mourning hall.
After living together for most of their lives, it is hard not to be attracted to a woman like the eldest princess.
Once you give your heart to someone else, you can never get it back.
After the funeral, as if by chance, one person fell ill, and then the others fell ill one after another.
It seems that I have no attachment to this Princess's Mansion anymore.
In one year, the Princess's Mansion held 18 funerals.
Starting from this year, legendary stories of the eldest princess began to appear one after another among the people. Among them, the most widely circulated one was "The Biography of the Princess who Guards the Country" written by Liushang Gongzi. It was detailed and exquisite, as if it were seen with one's own eyes, and it told the story of the eldest princess's romantic character and her righteous life. The story was passed down year after year.
In the fairyland, Mu Qi and 19 men sat under the vast sky, looked at each other, and smiled with red eyes.
