Chapter 259 I am left alone to suffer
The pale moonlight, like a layer of cold gauze, quietly fell into the house through the window lattice.
Xiyue curled up on the bed and suddenly spat out mouthfuls of blood.
The bright red bloodstains looked particularly glaring under the moonlight.
She widened her eyes in pain and made a hoarse sound in her throat.
After an unknown amount of time, the struggling gradually stopped, and she finally stopped moving and became silent.
Her eyes were still open, and there seemed to be an infinite attachment to the human world in her eyes.
Unfortunately, fate played such a trick on her that she never had the chance to appreciate the beautiful scenery of this world.
Xiyue has been trapped in the Jin Mansion since birth, and all she has seen is the prosperity of a corner of the capital.
When she was fifteen, she followed Jin Weige into the palace. Since then, except for a few rare opportunities, she could hardly step out of the palace gate all year round.
Later, he entered the palace again and was completely trapped there, never being able to leave the palace again.
Throughout her life, she moved from one high wall to another, and finally died trapped deep in the palace, a place that everyone admired but also where everyone was bound.
At dawn, the first ray of sunlight struggled to penetrate the clouds and shone on Xiyue's bed.
The maid next door was bleary-eyed and yawning. She went to check on Xiyue as usual, "Sister Xiyue, do you feel the wound still...ah!"
A sharp and piercing scream instantly broke the silence of Yaoguang Palace.
When Jin Weige heard the news, her heart suddenly tightened and she stumbled into the room.
The pillow was soaked with blood, Xiyue's eyes were wide open, her body was stiff and cold, and she looked lifeless.
"Xiyue..." Jin Weige stood there in a daze, his legs weak and his eyes blurred, as if the whole world had lost its color at this moment.
"No, this must be fake!" She muttered to herself, staggering a few steps to the bedside, her voice trembling, "Xiyue, don't scare me."
She slowly stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Xiyue's body.
But the skin that was soft and warm in the past was now as stiff and cold as an ice cellar.
"Xiyue!" Jin Weige could no longer hold on, collapsed to the ground, and burst into tears.
Seeing this, the palace maids around wanted to step forward to comfort her, but she frantically pushed them away.
"Get out! Get out! I asked you to take good care of Xiyue, and this is how you take care of her!"
"Get out! Get out!"
Everyone was frightened by her appearance and dared not move forward, so they had to retreat.
In the dim room, Jin Weige was the only one left.
She cried and hugged Xiyue's cold body tightly, "How could you leave me alone and go! Jiayue is gone, and you are gone too, there is no one around me anymore!"
Jin Weige felt heartbroken, and her mind couldn't help but recall every moment she spent with Xiyue Jiayue.
The happy scenes of playing together in the courtyard, the carefree moments when strolling in the streets, all of these memories come flooding back to my mind.
For the first time, she felt a deep sense of regret.
If she had not married the emperor, if she had not stepped into this deep and sea-like palace, then the two of them would not have died here...
They grew up together, got used to seeing the flourishing flowers in the capital, witnessed the clusters of flowers in spring and the snow-covered winter.
Jin Weige once naively believed that everyone around her would always be with her until she was old and gray.
Her parents, relatives, brother, the emperor, and the servants who serve by her side will always be around her.
But the reality was so cruel, like a ruthless blade, completely cutting off her fantasy.
My father died on the battlefield, and my mother became ill from excessive grief and passed away early.
My brother is stationed at the border all year round. For the sake of peace in our country and family, he rarely has the opportunity to return to Beijing to reunite with us.
And the emperor who once vowed to love her forever was now hugging another concubine, speaking coldly to her, as if they were a stranger.
Now, Jiayue and Xiyue have also left her forever.
What is left around her?
Only regret and hatred were left, spreading wildly in this cold palace!
After an unknown amount of time, Jin Weige finally stood up slowly.
She raised her hand to wipe away the remaining tears on her face, dragged her heavy steps, and moved step by step to the door, holding on to the wall, "Send Xiyue away, find a good place, and bury her properly."
"Your Majesty, you..." The palace maids looked worried. Before she could finish her words, Jin Weige turned around and walked towards the inner room in a daze, completely ignoring them.
She lay weakly on the bed, her eyes staring at the curtains above her head.
The curtain was specially sent by the emperor two years ago. The material used was the only piece of brocade with flower patterns in the palace, which was extremely precious.
She was filled with joy at the time and specially made it into a curtain, thinking that she would be able to see it every day when she looked up, as if she could feel the emperor's love for her at all times.
However, after experiencing such an unexpected change today, she finally woke up from her dream.
The Emperor... probably has stopped loving her a long time ago.
Otherwise, why didn't he even show up when I was so heartbroken and crying for so long?
Once, even if she just frowned slightly, the emperor would become very nervous and immediately ordered people to collect a bunch of new and interesting toys just to make her smile.
Thinking of this, Jin Weige sat up suddenly and frantically tore at the curtain above his head with his hands.
She was desperate and didn't even notice that her nails were injured and blood was oozing out.
"Someone, take these things out and burn them! I don't want to see them again!"
Seeing this, the palace servants did not dare to hesitate at all. They hurried forward and carefully removed the tattered curtain. No one dared to say no according to her instructions.
Jin Weige lay down again. This time, the sky above her head was empty, with only bare wood left.
"It's great... they're all gone." She murmured to herself, her voice as weak as a candle in the wind.
Jin Weige closed her eyes, tears falling from her eyes again, "Let's all go, and leave me alone to bear this pain in my heart..."
…
Since then, Jin Weige fell ill and her condition became extremely serious.
The imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau were summoned one after another to treat the disease, but they were all helpless.
Bai Wutong sat by the window, leisurely ate a piece of cake, and listened quietly to Chan'er's report.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Xiyue committed suicide. It was such a huge blow to Concubine Jin that she fell ill. The imperial doctors all said that it was a heart disease and ordinary medicines were useless. Only 'heart medicine' could cure it."
Bai Wutong raised his eyebrows slightly, "I didn't expect Jin Weige to be so sentimental and have such deep feelings for his maid."
Chan'er was not surprised to hear this, and explained, "Madam, don't you have any maids who grew up with you? People like Xiyue are all born in the Jin family. They may have played with Concubine Jin since they were a few years old. When they are a little older, they serve by her side, basically like sisters. However, if they meet a mean master, there will be no such friendship."
Bai Wutong shook his head. "I grew up in a Taoist temple. I don't have a maid to serve me. I have to do most things myself."
"No wonder." Chan'er continued, "Your Majesty, the relationship between Concubine Jin and Xiyue is naturally deep."
Bai Wutong raised the corner of his mouth and looked at her with a half-smile, "Are you saying that Jin Weige is still a good master?"
Chan Er pouted and explained, "My Lady, please don't misunderstand me. I don't think Concubine Jin is a good master. I only have feelings for her because I grew up with Xiyue. Think about it, all the maids who came to the palace to serve her later suffered."
Bai Wutong was originally joking with her, "Okay, I get it, go check if Yunhe is awake. By the way, what is the situation in the capital now?"
