Chapter 177: Buried with the prince, do you think the prince’s death was not tragic enough?
Prince Ning's Mansion.
Ever since Feng Ming returned home and delivered the message that day, Song Qingyun has been ill.
In just two days, he became so sick that he could not get out of bed.
He coughed all day long, one broken cough after another, as if he was going to cough out his entire lungs. The Qingzhu Courtyard was filled with a bitter smell of medicine.
Song Qingyun was wearing a white nightgown, with her eyes wide open, lying motionless and silently on the bed. If it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest, one would have thought she was dead. Her long black hair had lost its former luster and was draped dry and messy under her body, covering her increasingly thin cheeks, like a white lotus that was about to dry up and wither.
Only when Lily and Baizhi went in to deliver the medicine did she roll her eyes slightly.
"My Lady Concubine, get up and take your medicine."
Song Qingyun remained motionless, as if she hadn't heard it.
When Lily and Baizhi got closer, she murmured, "I was wrong."
In the past two days, she has been repeating this sentence all the time. No matter what others say, she keeps repeating it as if she is possessed by a demon.
"Mrs. Concubine?" Lily called again.
Song Qingyun still murmured, "I was wrong, very wrong."
Lily shook her head helplessly, put down the medicine bowl and went out.
The concubine is possessed.
She has a heart disease, so no matter how many medicines she takes, it probably won't help.
Two hours later, she boiled another bowl of medicine and brought it in. Before she got close to the bed, she was so startled that she knocked over the medicine in the bowl.
"Oh no, the concubine is missing!"
Along with Song Qingyun, the sloping purple bamboo also disappeared.
Lily immediately called Baizhi, and the two of them searched the palace but couldn't find anyone. "The concubine is so sick that she can't even get out of bed. Where can she go?"
By the time Du Zhong found out about this, Song Qingyun had disappeared for four or five hours.
He was not as panicked as Lily and Baizhi. He called the servant, whispered a few words to them, and then asked everyone to disperse and go about their business.
Soon, news came that Song Qingyun took Zizhu to the Temple of Heaven.
…
At dusk, the sky above the Temple of Heaven was completely shrouded in haze.
Large patches of clouds almost covered the entire sky, looking extremely gorgeous, but under the gusts of cold wind, the setting sun seemed like blood, especially the red clouds floating above Optimus Prime, which looked like a gluttonous beast, devouring the world bit by bit.
When Song Qingyun stepped onto the stone steps of the Temple of Heaven, she still felt a sense of unreality.
She raised her hand slightly, and touched the rays of light shining down from above. She could hardly believe that this was real, that she had come to the Temple of Heaven.
She was indeed sick two days ago.
As the people in the mansion said, he was too sick to get out of bed.
But that is a heart disease.
Until this point, she could not accept the fact that Beigong You gave up on her.
They were childhood sweethearts and had a deep friendship, but the person he was thinking of at the critical moment was Lin Miaoyin, without even considering her for a moment.
He knew clearly that she had saved his life, but he still forgot about her.
Did he want her to die with the entire Ning Wang Mansion?
She thought about it for two days but couldn't figure out what went wrong that made someone who loved her so much become so cold-hearted.
Since the moment she married into Prince Ning's Mansion, she had no way out.
She was not only a concubine, but also a concubine without any support from her natal family. All she could rely on was the favor of her husband.
But now, she felt like she was about to lose him.
Three years had failed to change his opinion of Lin Miaoyin, but in the three months since she married into Prince Ning's Mansion, he had developed a liking for her.
It was like she was slapped in the face.
How could she be willing to accept this!
As proud and arrogant as she is, she has now been defeated by the person she despises the most.
But this was not the most difficult thing to accept. The most despairing thing was the execution two months later.
She threw away her reputation and dignity and married him regardless of everything in order to gain a good future, not to be buried with him.
If he doesn't save her, she can only save herself.
She was a concubine and could not go out without the permission of Beigong You and Lin Miaoyin.
But she couldn’t just wither away in the backyard.
You can't wait for death in despair.
So, she came to the Temple of Heaven, and she would not give up as long as there was a chance of survival.
Although she was wearing white clothes, she was different from the desolate and deserted surroundings. Facing the sunset glow, she seemed like a withering flower that was injected with new vitality and gradually came alive.
As soon as we got closer, the guards around the Temple of Heaven looked over.
"Who is it?" Ye Qing, deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, shouted vigilantly.
"I am the concubine of Prince Ning, and I am here to see the prince."
Zizhu said as she thrust a silver ingot into his hand. "My concubine really feels sorry for the prince. I beg you to be lenient and let me go over to take a look."
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes and looked over.
Although he did not recognize the beauty in front of him, who in Shengjing did not know the title of Prince Ning's concubine?
Three months ago, Prince Ning, for her sake, defied all opposition and even went against the Emperor's will to marry her as his principal wife. This matter spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and even a three-year-old child could recite a few lines of the doggerel: "Prince Ning is the most infatuated man, and he is reluctant to part with his beautiful bride."
The woman in front of me is indeed a beauty.
If you say she is stunningly beautiful, her appearance is still a little off.
But when it comes to her pitiful and delicate temperament, I'm afraid no one can compare to her. No wonder Prince Ning was so fascinated by her.
He glanced at Beigong You who was tied to Optimus Prime not far away, did not take the silver, and raised his hand to signal them to come over.
He was only ordered to stay here and watch over Prince Ning, and his superiors did not say that no one was allowed to visit.
As for the silver, he would never dare to accept it.
"Thank you, sir." Zizhu was delighted and hurriedly supported the people around him.
The master and servant quickly entered the Temple of Heaven.
Feng Ming was guarding under Optimus Prime. When he saw a streak of white clothes floating towards him like a ghost in the setting sun, he instantly perked up.
When he got closer, he realized that the person was Song Qingyun.
She was only wearing a single layer of clothing, and her figure was so thin that she seemed like she would fall down if the wind blew.
He glanced at the guards standing guard outside and wondered why these people had let her in.
Seeing that the master and servant were about to approach, he took two steps forward, with a hint of anger in his tone, "What are you doing here, Concubine, instead of staying at home?"
"I'm here to see the prince."
Song Qingyun said as she looked up at the Optimus Prime above.
From a distance, a black figure could be seen tied to a pillar several meters thick. After two days of exposure to the sun, the man's skin had peeled off. His originally wheat-colored skin was now as black as charcoal, and many parts of his body were sunburned, revealing the red flesh underneath.
Her hair was dry and tangled, her eyes were dull, and her lips were cracked.
The man knelt motionless under Optimus Prime, like a statue.
But now he no longer had the vigor and vigor of the past, and was only in a state of embarrassment and misery.
"Don't you think the prince has not been harmed enough by you?" Feng Ming clenched his fists. If she hadn't killed so many people with smallpox vaccination in Shiqiao Town, why would the prince be tied to Optimus Prime to apologize?
