The death of the Seventh Prince has brought endless sadness to too many people. Feng Xiangrong, who had already returned to the capital, heard about it on the day he went to pay homage to Yao Xian's grave. Since then, he has been ill.
rise.
Anshi took Xiangrong to live in the princess's mansion. The doctor from Baicaotang came to see her and said that she was suffering from depression. It was a heart disease that could not be cured by medical methods. If she wanted to make Feng Xiangrong get better, she had to
Adjust psychologically, especially she must learn to adjust herself.
Not many people knew that the third young lady of the Feng family was about to marry the seventh prince, but it was not unknown at all. Some even knew that Concubine Yun personally went to Ji'an County to recruit someone, but why did the marriage not take place later?
, there is no way of knowing exactly what is happening.
The doctor said to Anshi: "I'm afraid that Third Miss is depressed because of His Highness Seventh Prince's affairs. Please give her some guidance so that she can get better quickly."
But Xiangrong has always been a stubborn person, and he was even more confused when it came to Xuan Tianhua's death. No matter how much Anshi tried to enlighten and persuade, it was of no avail. He was in a state of confusion, and spent most of his time lying on the bed, as angry as a thread.
. Occasionally, with the help of the maid, she could sit in the yard for a while, but once she sat down, she would become dazed. She would even call the Seventh Prince to the big tree. Regardless of whether the big tree responded or not, she would move a chair and sit in front of the big tree.
Talking to yourself, once you say it, it lasts a day.
Anshi secretly cried countless times because of her illness, and her eyes were red and swollen all day long. She hoped that her daughter would get better, but she tried all her methods, but could not achieve the slightest effect. 4.
Prince Xuan Tianyi said: "To untie the bell, you still need a person to tie it, but the person who tied the bell is no longer alive. But don't worry, madam. No matter what happens to her, I will be there to take care of her. I will never let her
I will finish this life alone."
In fact, Xiangrong is a kind-hearted and good child. As long as she can persist, she will never show herself like this and make her mother worry for nothing. But now she just can't control it. Sometimes she feels so sad.
As soon as her emotions came up, she felt that even breathing was painful, and only death could free her.
But if she dies, what will her mother do? A good girl counts the days under such torture. Every day when she opens her eyes, she hopes that everything yesterday was just a nightmare and that Xuan Tianhua is still alive.
. She thought that as long as that person was still alive, it would be okay for her not to see him for the rest of her life.
She vomited blood three times, but she kept it secret from herself and did not tell anyone. She felt that her time was running out, as if her life was being taken out of her body a little bit every day. If she continued like this, she was afraid that
She couldn't make it through three months. But she just couldn't understand. The fortune teller said that if she and Xuan Tianhua were together, it would be a bad fate and would bring disaster to each other. Then she had obviously refused the marriage, and she had obviously no longer wanted to marry her.
No more extravagant hopes! Why did something happen to Xuan Tianhua?
She couldn't understand it. She couldn't understand it no matter how much she thought about it. Gradually, the hallucination began to occur again. This time she didn't think that the big tree was Xuan Tianhua, but she felt that the princess's mansion was a big cage with iron railings all around.
, she is a lamb locked in a cage, waiting for people outside the cage to kill her with a knife at any time. She wants to escape and go to the world outside the cage, but there are many guards around her. This is terrible.
what to do?
Rong thought about this problem seriously for three days. Finally, three days later, while An was going to Baicaotang to get her medicine, she found a way to get rid of the maid and the concierge, and finally ran out of the princess's mansion.
I don’t know whether the air outside is really different from that in the mansion or something else. I came out of the princess’s mansion and walked. Gradually, my vague consciousness began to become clear again. The hallucinations were gone. I regained consciousness and Xiangrong stared blankly.
She saw herself standing on the street in the capital, with her feet under her long skirt without shoes, just stepping on the ground. The cool weather of the Mid-Autumn Festival made her shiver involuntarily.
All the people on the street were in white clothes, mourning for Xuan Tianhua. She didn't know why today, but she actually wore a light pink skirt and stood among the people in plain clothes, so conspicuous.
Someone was very angry when they saw Xiangrong's attire, so they stopped in front of her and accused her: "Which family are you from? Are you heartless? The Seventh Prince is dead, and the whole city is in mourning for him.
But you actually went out wearing such brightly colored clothes, what are your intentions?"
Some people also said: "Forget it, we voluntarily mourn, but we cannot force others. His Majesty the Seventh Prince is such a good person. If he knows that we force mourning for him on others, he will definitely be unhappy."
The person who spoke earlier was dragged away by his companions, but more and more people gathered towards Xiangrong. This pink dress aroused public outrage, and people criticized her one after another, until Xiangrong hid her face and whined.
started to cry.
Finally someone recognized her, and the person said in surprise: "That's not right! Isn't this the third young lady of the Feng Mansion in the past? She is the sister of Princess Yu."
"Is it her?" Some people didn't believe it. They took a closer look and found out who it was if it wasn't Feng Xiangrong! So they loudly said: "It's really the third young lady of the Feng family! Third young lady, aren't you the same as the Seventh Highness?"
Are you engaged? Why do you dress up like this and go out?"
Xiangrong didn't know how to answer. The white clothes all over the street were so dazzling that she felt Xuan Tianhua's quiet departure from this world more clearly. Xiangrong covered her face and cried, and various sounds came from her ears.
Come, she didn't want to hear a word and couldn't hear a word clearly. She only remembered that she got up and ran away. She was so confused that when she woke up again, she actually ran to the door of Prince Chun's Mansion.
Different from the outside world, when Xuan Tianhua passed away, there was no sign of sadness in his own mansion. There were no white flags, no white flowers, and no spirits. Even the guards guarding the door and the servants who occasionally walked by the door,
They are all dressed in normal clothes, no different from when she lived here.
Xiangrong suddenly fell into a trance. How many times had she hoped that what she knew this time was just a dream. When she woke up from the dream, Xuan Tianhua was still living well in Prince Chun's Mansion. But everyone in the capital
Being in mourning for it made her fall into despair again. But she didn't expect that her dream would show up at the door of Prince Chun's Mansion. Since Prince Chun's Mansion didn't even hold a funeral, does that mean that Xuan Tianhua was not dead at all?
Hope rose again on her face, and she stared at Prince Chun's Mansion intently, especially hoping that if she waited a little longer, Xuan Tianhua would be able to walk out of that door, dressed in white, with a light breeze.
However, she didn't see anything. Everything was as usual in Prince Chun's Mansion, but nothing was as usual. There were always servants stopping and secretly wiping a handful off their faces, looking sad. There were always guards sighing softly.
, with endless loneliness.
In addition to her, there were many people looking at Prince Chun's palace, including women and men. Like Feng Xiangrong, they all hoped to see the seventh prince walk out of the palace, and then everything in the world would remain the same.
.
Unfortunately, no one can make their dreams come true.
Someone told the truth: "It's useless for us to look any further. His Royal Highness is really gone. The reason why Prince Chun's Mansion did not hold a funeral was because Concubine Yun refused to accept the reality. She firmly believed that her son was not dead, so she ordered Prince Chun's Mansion to
There must be no trace of sadness. But look, who among the people in the house looks smiling? If he really is not dead, why would he be so sad?"
After thinking about it, it turned out that this was the case. It turned out that Concubine Yun, like her, couldn't accept this fact. So they were all deceiving themselves and using this method to forcefully keep that person.
She was desperate, and her last glimmer of hope was finally shattered. She could no longer stay at the gate of Prince Chun's Mansion, so she stumbled away, then spit out a mouthful of blood at the entrance of a small alley not far away. Her eyes were dazzled and she was about to stand.
She couldn't help it, but fortunately someone on the side helped her in time, so she wouldn't fall.
Xiangrong looked back and saw that the person holding her was actually the fifth prince Xuan Tianyan. She was stunned, and then looked at a strange woman next to Xuan Tianyan. She had a charming appearance and flirtatious eyes, and she was dressed in white.
It can block the natural charm, and it's so beautiful that people can't help but want to take a second look.
She recalled the rumors she heard after returning to the capital. The fifth prince had finished playing with Feng Fendai, and he had married many concubines. Now the Li Palace has returned to its former state, singing and dancing day and night, and Feng Fendai,
He lived alone in a small courtyard. I heard he was so poor that he couldn't afford servants. He only had carrots, cabbage, soup and water all day long, and the only piece of meat he had left was for his half-brother.
She originally didn't know whether the rumor was true or not. She had been in poor health and had no chance to confirm it. But every time she thought of the fifth prince being so kind to Fendai, she felt that it must be people's lies. No matter how ignorant that girl Fendai was, she could
At least she knew that the marriage contract with the fifth prince was obtained with great difficulty, and she cherished it all the time. She would never risk her own life so that the fifth prince would abandon her. Slowly, she forgot about those rumors.
But now, when she saw the woman standing next to Xuan Tianyan, the words she heard before came back to her mind, so that she was so surprised that she blurted out: "So you really married a concubine.
Do you really don’t want Fendai anymore?”
Xuan Tianyan frowned and wanted to explain to Xiang Rong that it wasn't that he didn't want Feng Fendai, but that Feng Fendai didn't want him. But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back and looked at the blood that Xiang Rong spat on the ground.
He even felt that it was not the time to talk about his own affairs, so he did not answer her words, but just asked: "Did you come out alone? I heard that you were seriously ill, and even the doctors at Baicaotang were helpless.
I'm thinking of visiting the princess's mansion another day." After saying that, he glanced at the blood on the ground again, with a worried look on his face: "I'll take you back!"
"No need." Xiangrong lowered her face, shook her arm, and broke away from his support. She looked at the woman again and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. She told Xuan Tianyan: "Although my sister has been here again and again,
She has harmed me again and again, but she is still my biological sister after all. I always hope that she can live well. So, Your Highness, no matter who is right or wrong in the matter between you, since you are already accompanied by other women.
You should stop caring about people from the Feng family. I would like to thank His Highness Fifth Highness for your concern, but I hope His Highness Five will not tell anyone about what he saw today. I know what I am doing, and a man should not gossip."
