Longyin Palace
Mo Shuang looked at the man lying on the dragon couch quietly, her eyes filled with indelible tenderness and heartache.
The man's handsome cheeks were a little pale, and his thick and curled eyelashes drooped lightly, leaving two rows of beautiful silhouettes on his eyelids. His long sword-shaped eyebrows and bright, thin lips made him truly the most beautiful man she had ever seen in the world.
She reached out and touched his face, gently and slowly.
From the eyebrows to the eyes, to the tall bridge of the nose, to the thin lips, every inch of skin, every arc.
It’s been ten days.
He didn't wake up for ten days.
All the imperial doctors in the palace have seen it one by one. On the eleventh day, many famous doctors were invited from the private sector. Even the miracle doctor Yun came down from Mount Mantuo to the palace for the first time.
He still didn't wake up.
There is a pulse, a heartbeat, and breathing, but there is no sensation.
The imperial doctors all said it politely, saying that they just fell asleep and that it might take a long time or a lifetime. Only Divine Doctor Yun said without hesitation that he had become a living dead because of the violent impact.
She understood that it was what modern people call a vegetative state.
She will never forget that day when everyone lifted him out from under a pile of bricks and rubble. He was covered in blood and made no sound.
She thought he was dead.
At that moment, her sky collapsed.
The doctors said that he was still alive, but they were afraid that he might not wake up for a while.
She kept murmuring at that time, "It's good to live, it's good to live..."
There is hope when you are alive, right
Their happiness has just begun. There are still so many things he promised her that he has not yet done. How can he leave? He would definitely wake up, she always believed.
She stayed with him every day, talking to him during the day, telling him what was happening around her, singing to him, and clinging tightly to his arms at night, falling asleep listening to his heartbeat.
"Leng Qisu, you just want to be lazy, right? You did it on purpose, right?" Mo Shuang leaned down and gently kissed his eyelids, nose, and corners of his lips, just like he had kissed her countless times. .
He still didn't wake up.

When Chu Xunmo came to the gate of Longyin Palace, Li Quansheng was standing there with a whisk in his hand and his head raised, his face was pale, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Even when he walked in front of him, he didn't even notice.
It wasn't until he shouted, "Eunuch Li" that Li Quansheng looked up in shock and realized what he was doing.
"Feng Gong... Mr. Chu..." For a moment, Li Quansheng didn't know what to call him. He hesitated for a long time and asked, "Are you coming to see the emperor and the empress?"
Chu Xunmo was startled for a moment, because of the word "empress", yes, she is someone else's empress, and some people will never belong to him.
Seeing that he was silent, Li Quansheng bowed and said, "Master Chu, please wait a moment. I will go in and report."
"No!"
Calling Li Quansheng softly, he curled his lips and said, "I'm going back to Meng Zhao. Please tell Eunuch Li when he meets Shuang... when he meets Mo Zhaoyi!"
The injuries on his body were almost healed, and it was time to leave.
He originally wanted to see her for the last time, but he suddenly changed his mind.
It’s better not to see her anymore. If she does, she will only be more reluctant to let go. Why bother
Li Quansheng looked at the figure in white clothes walking further and further away, unable to express his feelings.
He didn't know why he was Feng Xiaochen and turned into Chu Xunmo, the king of a border country? He didn't know what kind of story he had with their emperor and that woman
However, he saw loneliness from his back, that kind of desolate loneliness.
After thinking about it, he quickly turned around and entered the hall...
****
Chu Xunmo walked on the spacious palace road, the midday sun beating down on his head, which was a bit dazzling.
For the first time, he felt that this palace road was so empty. After walking for a long time, he didn't see a palace maid, eunuch or guard. He felt like a lonely person walking in the vast world.
I vaguely remember the first time I met that woman, that night, in the backyard of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
He helped her drive away the poisonous snakes, he held her in his arms, and he called her beauty.
She had a cold face and a prickly look all over her body.
She said, Sir, please respect yourself, I am the princess of the Fourth Prince's Palace.
He said, it turns out that the beauty is the princess, so I will be the princess's savior. Since the beauty has a wife, I hope that the beauty will marry her, but don't treat the benefactor so badly, I will be sad. of.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.
How wonderful it would be if life could only be like the first time we met.
At that time, he hadn't had any thoughts, maybe he didn't know if he had.
He only knew that at that time, he was a little resentful of Leng Qisu. After all, Leng Qiyi caused the changes in the Feng family because he wanted to suppress that man.
Therefore, he liked to tease Leng Qisu's women, except Linglong, of course.
Thinking of Linglong, he felt sad again.
At that time, he was eight years old and Linglong was four years old. Her name was Hong Fu, and together with Lu Ping, they were two orphans adopted by the miracle doctor who had been treating him.
The three of them play together every day.
Until he was ten years old, he came to Nanxuan in search of the Dragon Pearl and became the adopted son of the Feng family. They didn't meet each other.
When he was twelve years old, Zhongcang Kingdom attacked Nanxuan and Nanxuan was defeated. Zhongcang Kingdom asked Nanxuan to send a prince or princess from the royal family as a hostage.
At that time, Emperor Nanxuan was reluctant to let his children suffer, so he came up with a plan to ask Feng Qingying, the daughter of Feng Shenyi, to pretend to be the princess.
Doctor Feng stayed up for several nights because of this, but the king is the king and the minister is the minister. The king told the minister to die and the minister had to die. Therefore, even though he was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to agree.
The night before Feng Qingying entered the palace, Doctor Feng ordered him to feed her a bowl of soup that could make her forget everything.
Doctor Feng said that when the three-year proton period expires and she comes back, he will give her the antidote and she will forget the pain of the past three years and think about the past again.
At that time, Doctor Feng's eyes were red. He knew that he had cried. After all, she was his only daughter. He also knew that the reason why this man did not deliver the medicine himself was because a father could not do anything to his daughter.
But Feng Qingying disappeared at night after taking the medicine. Everyone in Feng Mansion was so anxious, including him, that they searched all over the capital but couldn't find her.
But these wind miracle doctors couldn't tell Emperor Nanxuan, no one would believe him if they told him, and they would only be considered to be deliberately evading and disobeying the imperial edict. Therefore, he only dared to say that Feng Qingying had caught wind and cold and needed to rest for a few days. While letting everyone continue to search.
Seeing that after a long search to no avail, Divine Doctor Feng fell seriously ill. As the eldest son of the Feng family, although he was not his biological son, he felt that he should do something.
He thought of Hong Fu, who was the same age as Feng Qingying. Anyway, the emperor and that person from the Zhongcang Kingdom had never seen Feng Qingying, so they wouldn't notice it if another person took his place.
Maybe it was because Hong Fu was too young at the time and didn't understand what she was doing, or maybe it was because of friendship, but she agreed very happily anyway.
So, she became Feng Qingying.
However, Zhongcang Kingdom changed its mind. They said that the princess was only eight years old and too young. They would keep her in Nanxuan first. After she turned sixteen, she would go to Zhongcang to get married. This time, they took over the ten cities of Nanxuan. .
It wasn't until Leng Qisu led troops to pacify the four kingdoms when he was eighteen years old that the Feng family breathed a sigh of relief. At that time, Hong Fu was already fourteen years old and had been working as Feng Qingying for six years.
At that time, the Feng family and he both asked Hongfu to be himself, but she was unwilling. She said that she was Feng Qingying.
Only he knows, what is she doing? For the man who reached out to catch her under the magnolia tree, Leng Qisu.
Because she fell in love with that man.
The memory is so clear, as if it happened yesterday.
No one expected so many twists and turns later.
After all, he was the one who harmed Hong Fu.
Sighing deeply, he looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly just now, but in a short while, it started to drizzle.
Involuntarily, he quickened his pace.
"Feng Xiaochen!" A clear voice came from behind him, and the lingering sound was like knocking into his heart, making him hesitate.
So familiar.
He slowly turned around and saw Mo Shuang standing not far behind him holding a butter umbrella, looking at him, dressed in plain clothes, like a fairy without a trace of mortal energy.
Li Quansheng came with her, also holding an umbrella in his hand, and quickly ran to his side to protect him from the rain.
Although the rain was not heavy, it still wetted clothes, hair, and eyelashes.
"Thank you Eunuch Li!" He smiled lightly, took the umbrella from Li Quansheng and held it himself. Li Quansheng looked at him, then pursed his lips and looked at Mo Shuang, and left wisely.
It was drizzling like smoke and mist, and two figures stood holding umbrellas on the vast and empty palace road.
For a long time, neither of them spoke.
"With such beautiful scenery on such a beautiful day, and a beautiful woman sending you to me in the rain, I won't be able to pick it up!"
In the end, he broke the silence first. He smiled, with crescent eyes, as relaxed and evil as possible.
He really wanted to go back to the Feng Xiaochen he once was.
However, the woman cried.
"Brother Chu..."
This sound made his heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe. She had never called him like this since she recovered her memory. She hated him, disdained him, and despised him, but she didn't want the sudden call of "Brother Chu" to make him think that It was in a dream.
But how could heartache be so real in a dream
"Shuang'er..." He was most afraid of seeing her cry. Once she cried, he would be at a loss. "That... that Leng Qisu will wake up. He will definitely..."
"I know!" The woman interrupted him decisively.
Her determined look made Chu Xunmo startled.
Yes, he curled his lips. He didn't need to say these words. This woman believed more than anyone else that even...even if the man didn't wake up, she wouldn't be his, and she would stay with him forever. That man.
"Why don't you explain?" Seeing that he was silent, Mo Shuang pursed her lips and spoke again.
He was a little confused, "What?"
"The thing about giving me medicine at that time! Why didn't you tell me that it was because I wanted to pretend to be the princess as a hostage? It was dad's helpless move? I pointed a sword at you that day, why didn't you explain?"
Chu Xunmo was stunned, "You know everything?"
"Yes! Lu Ping told me when she left!" Thinking of Lu Ping, Mo Shuang couldn't help but sigh.
She is also a woman who is persistent for love and lets go for love.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Mo Shuang collected her thoughts and repeated it again. She almost killed him. She almost made a huge mistake.
"It's all in the past, so don't mention it!" In fact, he wanted to say it and explain it, but she refused to give him any chance.
"Brother Chu, do you hate me? I obviously love another man, but I got married to you? Obviously you are helping the Feng family, but I point a sword at your chest? Even this time in Changmen Hall, I I stabbed you, do you hate me?"
Mo Shuang stared at him for a moment, her eyes red.
Chu Xunmo lowered his eyes.
Does he hate it? he asked himself.
The answer is, don't hate.
How could he hate? He only has love!
There are many kinds of love, and no one is ever right, even if he loves her and she doesn't love him.
He raised his eyes and saw that the woman was still looking at him blankly, as if waiting for his answer, so he pretended to smile easily, "I don't hate you! Didn't you lose your memory when you got married to me? Later, you pointed a sword at Me, that's because you don't know the truth! And in Changmen Hall, I know that you have no intention of hurting me. You just want to give the illusion of being controlled by Leng Qiyi, so you have to obey his orders. In fact, I can do it without What happened was that Lu Ping's dart was shot out, and I rushed to save you willingly, so I accidentally bumped into your dagger, wasn't it?"
Mo Shuang smiled softly, but tears flowed down more violently, "You will find reasons for me!"
"That's what it is, isn't it?"
Chu Xunmo raised his eyebrows and stared at her, but his heart was twisted in pain.
This can't go on like this!
If this happens again, he will really be reluctant to part with it.
"Shuang'er, I have to leave. Meng Zhao still has many things waiting for me to go back."
Mo Shuang pursed her lips and looked at him. She was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, Brother Chu, take care!"
"Take care, Shuang'er!"
"I'll ask Li Quansheng to arrange the carriage!"
"No need, my carriage is already waiting outside the palace!"
Mo Shuang curled her lips, "I actually forgot that Brother Chu is the king of a country, and there will always be someone by his side."
Chu Xunmo also smiled and said nothing.
So what if he is the king of a country surrounded by thousands of people? All he wants is to have one person by his side for the rest of his life, but that person is impossible.
"Brother Chu, I am Feng Qingying, you are Feng Xiaochen, you will always be my big brother, right?"
Chu Xunmo still smiled, "Yes!"
"When Leng Qisu wakes up, he and I will go to Mengzhao to see you, okay?"
"good!"
"Then let me take my eldest brother to the palace gate!"
"No need, Shuang'er go back first!"
"Then I'll watch my eldest brother go!"
"No, Shuang'er goes first!"
"Why?"
Why? Because he was afraid of feeling her gaze, and he didn't want her to see his lonely back and staggering steps.
But he couldn't say.
"No reason, I just like it. Think about it, looking at the graceful back of a beautiful woman in the misty rain, what a beautiful scene!"
Mo Shuang rolled her eyes at him, "Okay! I'll leave first then!"
The woman turned around and left three times step by step until her figure completely disappeared in the rain curtain. He still stood there quietly for a long time before turning around and leaving.
**********
Another month passed.
Leng Qisu still didn't wake up.
Mo Shuang still told him stories and talked tirelessly every day. She personally wiped his body, changed his clothes, and massaged him every day. Sometimes she would help him sit up and tie his hair awkwardly.
"Leng Qisu, you can really sleep! You've been sleeping for more than a month, so you're done being lazy, right? Do you know? You were so exhausted on the 11th, and the palace and the palace were running from both sides, you really can't bear it!"
"Leng Qisu, you have already grown a beard. Shiyi said that I would shave it for you, but I refused. I insisted on letting it grow. I will let it grow until the day you wake up, and I will scare you. Jump, let yourself see what such a beautiful face looks like with a sloppy beard? Who keeps you awake!"
As Mo Shuang spoke, she rubbed her face against his chin. The beard piles on her chin pierced her skin, which made her feel a little painful and burning. However, she liked it because in this way, she could truly feel his presence. He had always been there. All are there.
"By the way, Leng Qisu, do you know? I saw Shiyi and Ruxue's child today. The little guy can even sit down. He is babbling so cutely. You said you would give me a child. , but you are still sleeping here. If you don’t wake up, I will ignore you and go to have a baby with someone else..."
She kept rubbing the back of his hand, hoping to see his fingers move.
No, no, still no.
Tears slowly flowed down again, she covered her mouth and ran out.
Although she knew that he was unconscious and he wouldn't feel it even if she cried, she just didn't want to cry in front of him.
If she is cowardly, what confidence does he have to wake up
The sun was shining outside, it was early spring, and the palace was full of flowers and green trees.
However, her heart was dark.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she sat down in a pavilion and slowly sorted out her chaotic emotions.
She needs to adjust, she needs to be strong, and she cannot fall down.
"Fourth sister-in-law, why are you here?"
She was startled and quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. When she turned around, she saw Eleven standing outside the pavilion looking at her. She smiled and said, "Oh, come out for a walk. I'm a little tired from walking. Just sit down for a while." Son."
Eleven pursed his lips, lifted the corners of his robe, and climbed up the stairs. "Can Eleven sit with my fourth sister-in-law for a while?"
"Okay!" Mo Shuang didn't refuse. In fact, she wanted to say no, she just wanted to sit alone.
"Fourth sister-in-law, actually fourth brother..." Eleven sat down on a stone bench next to her.
"He'll wake up!" she interrupted.
"Yeah!" Eleven nodded, looking at her determined look, he smiled slightly, "The fourth brother is lucky to have a fourth sister-in-law."
"Luck?" Mo Shuang chided. Seeing Eleven's handsome smiling face, her mood seemed to relax a little. "I think it's more of bad luck. He's been hurt ever since he hooked up with me."
"That's what he wants!"
Mo Shuang was startled, shook his head and sighed, "You guys are truly brothers. You all speak in the same tone."
"By the way, Fourth Sister-in-law," Eleven suddenly thought of something, "That day in Longyin Palace, when Leng Qiyi gave me the sword, Fourth Sister-in-law also hinted at Eleven, right?"
He later discovered that a ruby had fallen from the scabbard of the sword, and in the place of the ruby was a dragon's eye carved on the scabbard.
Judging from the remains of the remaining gems, it was not a matter of pasting, but someone deliberately broke them off.
Blind dragon, how taboo is this? Who dares to break it off
Therefore, he thought that it was Mo Shuang who should have conveyed the news to him, but that was a later story because he had already given Leng Qiyi the fake tiger talisman.
He just suddenly remembered it today and asked to see if it was what he guessed.
"Yes!" Mo Shuang looked at him doubtfully, "Why did you suddenly ask this? Didn't you take my hint and give Leng Qiyi the fake tiger talisman?"
Actually no, he only found out about her hint later. At that time, it was because of the story between him and Leng Qisu.
However, these are no longer important, as long as the result is the same.
"Oh, yes, of course I found out about Leng Qiyi because of the reminder from my fourth sister-in-law. I was just asking! Just to make sure! Haha~" Eleven scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled.
Mo Shuang also smiled.
"And how did the fourth sister-in-law and the fourth brother solve the moon confusion? I heard that this poison is rarely seen in the world, and few people can solve it."
"The rumors in Jianghu are too evil. In fact, it's very simple. You just need to seal a few of your big holes with silver needles."
Of course, she would not tell him that she had read it in an ancient book about strange magic in modern times. She also did not tell Leng Qisu about this. She only said that she learned it at the Blue Wing Sect. Otherwise, they would definitely She looked like a monster.
That day at Mount Mantuo, Leng Qisu and Doctor Yun mysteriously took her pulse, and then both left with strange expressions. She knew something was wrong.
Although she was not well versed in medical skills, she still understood them. She could also detect pulses.
After checking her own pulse, she knew something was wrong with her, so she went directly to the two men and made it clear to the point.
In the past, she had too much self-righteousness, and he had hidden too many things from her, which was why there were so many corrections later.
Therefore, she told Leng Qisu directly that they must plan together and fight side by side. No one is allowed to do things without the other's knowledge under the guise of thinking about the other.
That’s why we came up with the following series of plans.
She asked the miracle doctor to seal her acupuncture points.
She pretended to obey Leng Qiyi's orders, made a pretense of killing Leng Qisu and Doctor Yun, and then set the house on fire. In fact, when the fire was raging, the two had already left the tunnel under the bed board, and then made two fake burnt bodies. corpse.
If the target was just Leng Qiyi, she could strike at any time when she was by his side. However, Leng Qisu said that he would take the opportunity to find out who Leng Qiyi was in the court, so the drama lasted for so long.
Everything was planned, but I didn't expect Linglong to take such extreme measures in the end.
Thinking of Leng Qisu, she felt sad again and sighed unconsciously.
Eleven frowned slightly, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say. He raised his head and looked at the sky, "Fourth sister-in-law, it's getting late. Go back to Longyin Palace as soon as possible! If fourth brother wakes up, he can't see Fourth sister-in-law will definitely be anxious."
Mo Shuang smiled, extremely bitterly, "Brother Eleven, please go back first, I'll sit here for a while!"
She hadn't woken up for so many days, and it was impossible for a miracle to happen just as soon as she came out. Shiyi was comforting her, and she knew it in her heart.
Eleven couldn't force it anymore and left with a low sigh.
The pavilion suddenly became quiet.
Mo Shuang took out two things from his sleeves, one was a strange-shaped sandbag, and the other was a blood-stained hairpin.
She found this in the closet of Longyin Palace in Leng Qisu. It was packed in a very delicate box. Obviously the owner cherished it very much.
She knows it, it's all hers.
That sandbag was given to him by her when he was in a low mood when Puzen Temple was destroyed when he was in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
She didn't expect that he would keep it all this time.
And that hairpin, on her wedding to Chu Xunmo, she used that hairpin to pierce his heart.
He actually kept it too.
That man!
She sighed softly, but her heart hurt even more and she couldn't breathe.
I remember that when she married him, it was also such an early spring, with such warm weather, and a year had passed before she knew it.
She and he have experienced things that may take a lifetime to experience in a year.
However, a year is not long, it is only one year.
She had only been with him for a year.
She is not satisfied, she is not reconciled, she wants it for a lifetime, no, she wants it for ten lifetimes, life after life.
There were soft footsteps behind her, but she didn't look back. She thought it was a passing palace maid or eunuch.
It wasn't until someone stretched out his arms to hug her gently from behind that she was startled. She came back to her senses, but she still didn't move. Her eyes fell on the familiar big hands, the familiar edges of the purple robe sleeves, and even She didn't even dare to breathe, she was afraid, she was afraid it was a dream, it was her hallucination, she was afraid that if she moved, she would still be sitting here alone.
There was a light weight on the top of her head, and someone's chin touched the top of her hair, and a familiar breath sprayed on her forehead, "It's really hard to guard against a house thief! Where do you want to steal my things?"
Mo Shuang's back stiffened, and she opened her eyes wide. After a while, she laughed softly, with tears streaming down her face, "Leng Qisu, did you know? The magnolias are blooming, do you want to see them?"
"Think!" the man behind him responded.
She raised her head and looked at the clouds on the horizon. It was April in the world, the most beautiful time of the year.
