Screaming, shouting.
Dazzling lights.
dark.
Warm embrace, tidal pain.
Bitter medicine, tears dripping down cheeks.
A cry after another.
A soft, soft voice.
Childish crying.
Whispers…
Qiu Yilan seemed to be trapped in a very long nightmare. She felt like she was awake and asleep for a while, but no matter how hard she struggled, she could never really wake up.
It's like a person trudging through a muddy swamp in a dark night - one foot deep, one foot shallow. Surrounded by vast darkness and cold, he doesn't know the beginning, the end, the direction, or the time.
Even the memory is fragmented.
She seemed to be aware of the changes around her, but at the same time she seemed at a loss.
It was just the unclear scenes in her broken memory that made her struggle hard and never give up!
Like seeds buried in layers, they stubbornly want to sprout.
Finally, for a moment, the misty chaos around her suddenly receded, and the chirping of birds and the suppressed sobs came to her ears clearly - a warm and wet handkerchief wiped her cheek, and then, a hot tear fell down, burning. The feeling made her open her eyes without warning, and she suddenly saw the skeletal-looking woman beside the couch. Her hoarse voice could not make a sound, but her lips opened and closed clearly: "Su He?!"
"Princess! Princess, are you awake?!" Su He was so surprised that he trembled. Not only did he blurt out the title of Qiu Yilan before he came out of the pavilion, but he also threw away the basin and handkerchief, not caring that most of his face was soaked by water. Skirt, rushed up to hug her, and instantly burst into tears, "You're awake... You're finally awake!!!"
"boom!"
Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a girl in a green undershirt and a white dress appeared at the door in shock. She covered her sleeves and exclaimed: "Auntie?!"
"Hurry and get the bird's nest porridge!" Su He finally came to his senses. Looking at Qiu Yilan's pale and haggard appearance, he quickly turned around and ordered, "Hurry!"
When Fan Sulian hurried to the kitchen, Su Hefang carefully helped Qiu Yilan to sit up - when she supported Qiu Yilan, Qiu Yilan could clearly feel the bones in her arm, which showed that this maid who had grown up together was now How thin you are! And when Su He came to pay his respects years ago, she was still a slightly plump young woman...
Even though Qiu Yilan was still a little confused at the moment, she couldn't help but feel a sore tip of her nose: "I... How long have I been awake since? Why are you so thin?"
"Twenty-five days!" Su He turned around and went to the table to pour a bowl of rose water for her. He touched his lips first, then carefully took it to feed her, crying and laughing, "Today It’s the twenty-fifth day—I knew you would wake up!”
After drinking a cup of rose dew, Fan Sulian also brought bird's nest porridge, and thoughtfully paired it with a few easy-to-eat side dishes. The girl did not take the credit and said softly: "Mama Li said these are what Auntie likes to eat!" "
She did not come in alone. Chun Ran and Shen Shui also came in. They were both simply dressed and looked haggard. As soon as she entered the door, before the ceremony was completed, tears fell first: "Young Madam, just wake up! Wake up!" Just do it!”
Such a mixture of sorrow and joy made Qiu Yilan suddenly wake up from her trance. She sat up suddenly, grabbed Su He's arm, and asked one word after another: "Child?!"
"The two Mr. Suns are safe and sound!" Su He said quickly, "In fact, they didn't go to the Royal Garden at all..."
Qiu Yilan let out a long breath, and as soon as her heart relaxed, she slumped down and said with relief: "It's okay... it's fine!"
Then she thought about it, "But the one I saved?" Even though the palace lanterns on the shore couldn't illuminate the center of the lake that night, she didn't see clearly the appearance of the child in her arms, but she also knew that it was definitely the same age as Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang. child!
Could it be that…
Su He sniffed and confirmed her thoughts: "That's... the eldest prince!"
"The eldest prince also survived. The queen almost kowtowed to you that day..." Chun Ran came over and said with a forced smile, "Young lady, you have just woken up, why don't you eat something quickly? Otherwise, you will be exhausted."
Qiu Yilan nodded and was about to agree, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in her belly, which made her already pale face turn as white as snow for a moment - she subconsciously touched her lower abdomen and asked in amusement: "Then... this child ?”
There was silence in the room for a moment.
"The child is still there?" Qiu Yilan was stunned for a long time and asked blankly. She could feel that the source of the pain was this child!
"The child is still here!" Su He exchanged glances with Chun Ran and Shen Shui, and said calmly, "Young madam, please eat quickly... We will talk to you about the events of the past few days later, okay?"
Qiu Yilan took a deep breath, held the silver spoon tremblingly, and whispered, "Okay!"
She has been in a coma for the past few months, and many things have been settled. She wants to know, and she is not afraid of being so late - why not keep her spirits up and listen to it in one breath!
After eating two mouthfuls of bird's nest porridge, Qiu Yilan remembered that something had happened to him. It was not surprising that Su He, Chun Ran, and Shen Shui came back to serve him. If Xia Ran hadn't gone out with her husband, he would have appeared here. But Fan Sulian
She looked at this junior in confusion.
Noticing her gaze, Fan Sulian blushed, lowered his head and said: "Grandma said that the two cousins and the younger cousin are still young, and there is no... daughter-in-law or daughter to serve in front of my aunt, so I asked Sulian to come and lend a hand!"
Su He turned away to wipe his tears just now. At this moment, he turned around and said with a smile: "Young madam, when Miss Fan comes out of the cabinet, you must take good care of her! In the past month, Miss Fan has been very busy. Besides, even the two young masters and Miss Sun who were picked up by the old lady were visited every other day... You see, the originally plump beauty has now lost two pounds! "
Fan Sulian is beautiful and refined, and has just the right amount of slim body. It can be said that he has gained weight and lost weight. But due to her age, when she first appeared at the twentieth young master's full-moon banquet, her cheeks were still slightly baby-fat. Now Qiu Yilan took a quick look and found that her cheeks were indeed thin and the childish fatness was gone.
With a sigh in her heart, Qiu Yilan said kindly: "Good boy, thank you for your hard work! I think how much you cherish me in front of my eldest aunt. Considering that my aunt is still a generation below my eldest aunt, I am really ashamed to ask you to serve me like this!"
She had just woken up and saw Su He ordering Fan Sulian to get porridge. Although Su He woke up because of her and lost his composure to speak to Fan Sulian in that commanding tone, it also showed that this little girl had reached her level. Bian Lai not only really helped, but also kept his attitude very low.
You must know that although Fan Sulian is a relative of the Jiang family, her biological grandmother Jiang Tianyuan is the daughter of the eldest family. Not only are they not in the same room as the fourth family, they are not the same father. Even though Fan Sulian and Lu He are officially engaged, they are still serious relatives. ! In this case, coming to serve the aunt in the next room, if nothing else, it is very difficult for the girl's family to save face.
"I really don't know if that eldest aunt is really an honest person, or is the city extraordinarily deep?" Qiu Yilan sighed in her heart, "With the fact that she has been serving her for nearly a month before I even got married, I will never be able to live a day in the future." Don’t let Lu He wrong her!”
But Fan Sulian blushed and replied: "My aunt is serious. Sulian usually serves his grandmother when he is in front of her. Besides, on New Year's Eve, Sulian asked himself to look at the eldest prince and his cousins, but in the end, except Li Apart from the cousins, after all, the eldest prince and his other cousins have been naughty. They have not apologized to the queen and the aunts for their negligence. How dare they say "hard work" to the aunts? Furthermore, the elders are lying on the bed and serving as the younger generation's servants. It’s a matter of course!”
Qiu Yilan heard these words with reason and humility, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that this apprentice's wife is really the right one! Wen Yan said a few words to her, and Fan Sulian caught a glimpse of Su He's eyes rolling on Qiu Yilan's porridge bowl, and said hurriedly: "Grandma and great-aunt are also thinking about my aunt very much these days. Only then did Su Lian remember that my aunt woke up." No one has yet to tell the good news!”
Su He took the opportunity and said: "Young madam, why don't you let Miss Fan do the good news? The old lady and the aunt are very worried these days! Miss Fan is considerate and considerate, and reporting it in person can also make the old lady and the aunt My wife is so happy that she won’t be too emotional!”
Qiu Yilan understood what they meant. Firstly, she wanted to eat first; secondly, after she finished eating and drinking, she would definitely ask about the past few days. I am afraid there were some words that Fan Sulian did not like. Now Fan Sulian invited himself to visit Mrs. Tao, just to avoid it.
"Go and get a small brocade box from under the dressing table!" Qiu Yilan nodded and said to Su He, "It's still where it was originally."
Su He turned around and took it out. The palm-sized box was full of ancient charm, with its corners covered with gold and exuding the scent of ancient sandalwood. It was definitely not vulgar at first glance. It's so small, so precious, and most of the items inside are jewelry, priceless ones. Qiu Yilan motioned for her to hand it over to Fan Sulian. Before the girl could speak, she smiled and said, "Don't refuse! Originally, this was what I was planning to do." In the first month of the year, what I gave you when you came to pay me New Year greetings... now it’s just to make up for it!”
Fan Sulian swallowed his original words immediately and saluted gracefully: "Sulian, thank you aunt for the gift!" After taking it with both hands, he walked away.
After she left, Qiu Yilan concentrated on eating porridge. After a while, she couldn't eat any more, so she put down the chopsticks and put them on the water to put away. Su He and Chun Ran fetched more water to help her wash up. Looking down at the back of her pale hands, she exhaled: "Are the children at grandma's side?"
"They're all over there!" Su He said with certainty, "After Miss Fan passes by, I'm afraid the two Mr. Sun will come to see you soon!"
"Where's Nineteen?"
"The Nineteenth Young Master should still be in the Yamen." Chunran was afraid that she would think Jiang Yashuang had neglected his wife these days, so he hurriedly said, "After the Young Master rescued you and the eldest prince that day, he immediately took you back home - together with the two grandchildren. The young master only came back later with the old lady's car. Before the Lantern Festival, the young master was always at your bedside to take care of you! But on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, great victories were reported in both Western and Northern Xinjiang, and there was a lot of discussion in the court. ... I don’t know much about the specific things. In short, the Nineteenth Young Master has been very busy since then. He is either dealing with official affairs in the Yamen or listening to the old master’s lectures... Even so, the Young Master still finds time to come over to see you every day. for a while!"
Qiu Yilan asked attentively: "There is also a great victory in Western Xinjiang? Brother and sister-in-law?"
"Everything is fine!" Su He pursed his lips, "It's the news about your accident. The young master hesitated for several days before he decided to tell his cousin!"
Qiu Yilan was silent for a moment and understood what Su He meant: I'm afraid I thought she was in trouble before...
Otherwise, even if there is a great victory in Xijiang, how far has Xijiang been defeated before? The city of Shazhou has been lost! I don’t know if the Western barbarians have been driven out of Da Rui yet... Qiu Jinglan has a lot to do. When she is hoping that he will take advantage of the victory to pursue her, how can he be distracted by his sister? !
... No wonder Su He was so happy to see her wake up before!
"We'll talk about these things later. Let's talk about An'er and Lang'er first. Why didn't they go to the Royal Garden?" Qiu Yilan rubbed her forehead and asked slowly with a slightly cold gaze.
