The decoction was too bitter, and everyone had their own tricks for drinking the medicine.
Rather than swallowing it spoon by spoon, Tong Su is more accustomed to holding her breath and swallowing it in one breath, so that the tongue coating can be relieved from the bitter medicine as much as possible.
After drinking the medicine, she ate a few pieces of preserved fruit to dilute the bitter taste. However, her cough became more severe recently and she couldn't eat preserved fruit. She could only drink a few mouthfuls of water to dilute the unpleasant bitter taste.
"Okay," she smiled, holding his hand, leaning weakly on the thick soft pillows at the end of the couch, her voice weak, "Take me there, I want to see it climb a tree."
Qing He, who was waiting on the side, suddenly covered his eyes, tears dripping from his fingers.
The imperial doctor said…
Your Majesty, maybe, maybe...
I can’t survive the Mid-Autumn Festival anymore.
Xi Chenzhou held her hand and quietly accompanied her to look out the window at the bright afternoon sunshine. It was late summer, and the scent of osmanthus was everywhere. A few years ago, Tong Su personally planted a golden osmanthus tree in the Imperial Garden, and you can still smell it now. The fragrance is gone.
"It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. Eight years ago, when I first met you, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. I thought at that time, such a handsome general, it disturbed my heartstrings. From now on, I can only see the general in my eyes."
Xi Chenzhou said: "I will wear the armor again during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, just to show you, okay?"
She nodded repeatedly and coughed again when she was excited. Xi Chenzhou quickly took a new veil and handed it to her, and she coughed up a lot of blood again.
Wiping the corner of his mouth, he swallowed the fishy and sweet taste in his mouth, Tong Su looked as if nothing had happened, his eyes were bright.
"I used to read "Xiang Ji Xuan Zhi", and I remember one sentence particularly well," she said, "'There is a loquat tree in the courtyard. My wife planted it when she died. Now it is like a canopy.'"
She took a breath. She would get tired easily if she spoke too long.
"It's not easy to grow loquats in the north. I picked them here and there. Seeing that the sweet-scented osmanthus lived a long time, I asked someone to find a few more sweet-scented osmanthus seedlings. After a while, you can accompany me to plant them so that you can have something to think about in the future, okay? ?”
Xi Chenzhou pushed a strand of long hair on her temples behind her ears and said, "Not good."
"Why is it bad?"
He lowered his head and touched her forehead intimately: "If you are no longer here, everywhere I look is filled with rivers and springs. Where can I have the leisure to look at the sweet-scented osmanthus?"
Tong Su was silent for a long time, patted his arm, got up with difficulty and asked Qing He to send him a pair of golden scissors.
Holding a strand of hair each of your own and his, cut them off.
Stack them together, tie them into a delicate knot, and put the knot of long hair into his hand.
"You said before that people probably have past and present lives. I left early in this life, so you can come to me again in the next life, okay?"
His voice trembled slightly: "Okay. I will look for you in my next life. I met Po Meng. When you get to Naihe Bridge, tell me my name. Don't drink her soup. When you are reincarnated, you must remember me." "
Tong Su responded with a smile: "Okay."
·
After all, Tong Su could not watch her general wear the armor again.
Three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, she passed away peacefully in her sleep.
White silk curtains filled the majestic palace. Xi Chenzhou staggered through the palace corridors, listening to the weeping and sobbing of the kneeling palace ladies.
"General... I'm sorry, Your Majesty certainly doesn't want to see you torture yourself like this..."
Xi Chenzhou was a little confused, and after a while, he smiled.
He said: "My heart has been broken for a long time. I thought I had tasted the most painful sorrow in the world, but once again I saw her leaving me - this kind of pain is worse than the pain of tearing out my heart. How can you tell me not to torture?" Own?"
The people in the palace didn't know why, but they could still feel the deep sorrow, their hearts ached, and they shed tears again.
