so tired! She was so tired that she almost didn't want to open her eyes, she just wanted to fall asleep like this all the time.
But there seemed to be some pain, so much that she wanted to shout out, but the sound she came out was like a moan.
In my ears, I vaguely heard Jueqing's voice, he was talking about Jie... He was talking about something else. She wanted to hear more clearly, but she couldn't hear it...
Until the pain slowly dissipated, she could hear more and more voices. But there was no longer a clear voice.
"Doctor, look, Miss Chu's eyelids seem to be moving!"
"Could it be that Miss has regained consciousness?"
"Doctor, check it out!"
There was a constant noise, so loud that her head was about to split.
"Hmm..." Chu Zhuyu opened her eyes with difficulty.
The familiar carved beams and columns, this room... is the General's Mansion! When did she return to Luoyang, shouldn't she be in Chongzhou? "Why am I here?"
"Miss Chu, you are awake! You have been here for several days!" A maid stepped forward and said.

The doctor helped Chu Zhuyu to take a pulse, and prescribed a prescription for the maid to follow to get the medicine.
Chu Zhuyu only felt that it took a lot of time to get out of bed, "What's wrong with me? I seem very tired, have I slept for a long time?"
"I heard from the doctor that Miss Chu was poisoned. Now that the poison has been cured, she can recover after drinking some medicine."
"Poisoned?" When was she poisoned? She only remembered that she could see her nosebleed clearly.
"Miss is awake now, so you don't have to worry." The maid thought that Chu Zhuyu was worried that the remaining poison was unclear.
"By the way, what about the general?" she asked.
"The general has been staying in the forbidden area of the inner courtyard, and no one can enter except Zen Master Huiwu."
"Forbidden area in the inner courtyard?"
Does the General's House have this place? Why is she not impressed.
(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});
"When the general came back a few days ago, the garden in the inner courtyard was listed as a forbidden area, and no one was allowed to enter." The maid said.
what happened? What happened and why did the garden become a forbidden area? Why didn't Jueqing come to see her? She has so many questions to ask, but she doesn't know which one to ask first!
When Chu Zhuyu really stood in front of the forbidden area, she only saw the fence and the armored guards guarding the entrance of the garden.
"Miss Chu, the general has ordered that no one can enter without his order." The sharp weapon stopped her from outside the park.
"Can't I?" She once thought that when she got here, she would definitely see him.
"Yes, even Miss Chu is no exception."
She sighed, "What about Zen Master Huiwu?" I remember the maid said that Zen Master Huiwu can enter this garden.
"The Zen master is talking about the Dharma with the general, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to come out." The guard replied.
"Miss Chu, it's windy here, why don't you go back and rest first." The maid who came with her suggested.
Chu Zhuyu shook her head, the anxiety in her heart was getting bigger and bigger. She wanted to find out what was going on. Why was something different when she woke up
(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});
"Miss Chu!" The maid became anxious, "If you suffer from the cold again, then..."
"I want to wait here, even if I can't wait for the general to come out, I have to wait until Captain Liu comes out!" The weak body just stood in the wind, her face was blown dead white by the wind.
Time passed little by little, Chu Zhuyu only felt that her body was also stiffening little by little, and the blood on her body seemed to gradually stop flowing, until she saw the white-bearded Zen master, wearing a dark blue monk robe. garden.
"Zen master," she called.
The moving footsteps stopped, and those eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything stared at her without blinking. Chu Zhuyu used all her strength to keep herself from passing out. Maybe now that she's fainted, her body will feel more comfortable, but... She has too many questions to ask, too many things she doesn't understand.
Looking at each other, Chu Zhuyu's eyes were full of doubts, but Huiwu's eyes were clear.
After a long time, Zen Master Huiwu finally sighed: "Everything is destined."
"The little girl doesn't understand, but I ask Zen Master for advice!" She knelt down on her knees, but her eyes were still fixed on Zen Master Huiwu.
"You are his robbery, but he is your nobleman. You don't need to understand anything now." Hui Wu said lightly.
robbery? noble? What do these words mean? "I want to see Jueqing, I beg the Zen master to take me to see him!"
(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});
"Since he doesn't want to see you, you don't have to force yourself to see him." After speaking, Chan Master Huiwu stopped looking at Chu Zhuyu and turned to leave.
Force? Is this coercion? Chu Zhuyu stared blankly at her knees. Back then... the man who kept saying that she would not let her leave him, is now avoiding her.
Why is my heart so empty? Where did the unexplainable sadness come from
For her, it's just the moment of opening and closing her eyes, why... the sky and the earth have changed color
His eyes were so hot, as if something was about to come out. In my ears, I only heard the exclamation of the maid: "Miss, why are you crying!"
Are you crying? she cried? !
It turned out that he could easily make her cry just by not seeing her.
The petite body just stood outside the park without moving a single point.
The maid on the side was full of worry, but she also knew that she was powerless to dissuade her. And Liu Shan and Butler Xiao ran over long ago, they just wished they could take Chu Zhuyu back to the room to rest.
"Miss Chu, it's not good for you to recover!" Liu Shan said. Although he wanted to tell Chu Zhuyu the truth, but when he thought of what the general said that night, the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.
"Yeah, if the general sees you like this, he will be worried." Butler Xiao Ren also replied.
Chu Zhuyu just stared at the entrance of the garden, "If he doesn't see me for one day, I will stand for one day. If he doesn't see me for ten days, I will stand for ten days until he sees me." She wanted an answer, And that answer only he could tell her.
"Miss Chu, what's the trouble with you... It's just that the general took you down." Liu Shan sighed.
"Then let him come and tell me this in person..." His head became more and more dizzy, and his tired body was already overwhelmed and numb to the point of falling down at any time. Chu Zhuyu pinched her palm desperately with her fingernails, as if only with such pain could she wake up.
The nails broke the palm, and the blood slowly spread to the whole palm along the fingertips.
"Miss, your hand!" The maid on the side was the first to notice this situation and exclaimed.
When Xiao Ren and Liu Shan saw the blood on their hands, they were all startled, and they hurriedly asked for cotton gauze, and by the way, they found the doctor.
"No need to bandage! I want more pain, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep." Chu Zhuyu said quietly.
"How is this possible? If the general finds out, he will blame us!"
"If he really blamed me, how could he blame you?" No way, even though his palms were pinched, the drowsiness of his mind was still intensifying. Chu Zhuyu shook her body and shook her head, trying her best not to close her eyes. Is the pain not enough? If it hurts a little more, can you wake up
"By the way, why didn't I think of it?" She murmured. Under the eyes of everyone, she pulled the hairpin out of her hair and stabbed her wrist fiercely...
The slender five fingers firmly grasped her falling hand. The black figure came to her side at some point, and the low voice was full of helplessness: "Why do you want to hurt yourself like this?"
"General!" All the people around knelt down.
Chu Zhuyu raised her head, the black hair was printed into her eyes, he was still wearing black clothes, but he was thinner, there was no blood on his face, but the blue marks on the bottom of his eyes were much deeper than before she fell asleep.
His breath wrapped around the tip of her nose, and the familiar smell made her relax all of a sudden.
"Jueqing?" The two words that were spit out were actually uncertain.
"It's me." Xiao Zhizhi lowered his eyes and looked at the man who was about to fall, with bloody hands and red and swollen eyes. After all, he still made her feel uncomfortable.
She stared at him in a daze, looking very carefully, even the tiredness between his brows could be clearly seen.
Jue Qing, can you tell her the answer
Jue Qing, why didn't you see her
Jueqing, if it really hurt her, why did she come out in the end
What happened when she was in a coma
"Why don't you see me?" she murmured.
"I just don't want to see it." He lowered his eyelids, forcing himself not to look at her face. I'm just afraid that at this sight, the determination that I finally made up will be disintegrated.
"Why don't you want to see me?"
"Because I'm tired of you. I'm tired." His voice was flat, as if speaking to a stranger.
She clearly knew that what he said was not true, but her tears flowed out of her eyes unconsciously. A drop... a drop, it fell on her blood-stained hand, and also on the five fingers he was holding on to her wrist. Her heart, like being stung by countless needles, was so intensely painful that her tears blurred her vision.
As if scalded by her tears, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
Only his faint voice sounded in her ears - "If you understand, don't come here again in the future."
Understand? Yes, she understands, she always understands! Chu Zhuyu stared at Xiao Zhizhi, opened her mouth slowly, and said word by word: "Even after a hundred calamities, the karma that you have done will never be destroyed, and when the karma meets, you will still bear the reward you deserve. "
His tall body shook suddenly, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Chu Zhuyu continued: "You are a Buddhist practitioner, you should naturally understand the meaning of these four sentences." Yes, these four sentences were originally what he told her at that time, "The fate of everything, There are causes and consequences. The experiences of this life, whether fortunate or unfortunate, are all rooted in the past, and the actions of this life, whether good or bad, will be rewarded in the next life! Master Huiwu said, I am your calamity, and you are the My dear, then this cause and effect came from the previous life, but I don't want the cause and effect between us to die in this life like this. I still want to continue, and I also want that cause and effect to haunt me from generation to generation. You Isn't that why you said these four words to me?"
Her tears fell even more fiercely, "I only believe what you said to me at that time, because at that time, you looked into my eyes, so I know you didn't lie."
His body staggered, as if he was holding back something, and at the same time, he seemed to be suppressing something, "Then, as long as I look into your eyes and talk to you again, you will believe me!"
Chu Zhuyu stared blankly at Xiao Zhizhi, he raised his eyes gently, and those black jade-like eyes stared straight at her like this. But—it was just looking at it, like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest emotion.
"I'm tired of you, so you don't have to come to me again." The clear voice was as cold as ice.
"Then tell me again, you don't love me anymore." Although her body was weak, her spine was straight at the moment.
The veins in his fisted hand burst out, staring at her for a long time, his teeth rattling, and even biting the corner of his mouth.
"Can't you tell?" She also stared at him, her eyes not retreating.
"I'm Xiao Zhizhi—" He took a deep breath, knowing that this was the last step; knowing that he should completely cut off what he once hoped to obtain; After suppressing the poison for a month, he would bleed to his death after a month. Therefore, he wants to cut off this love, maybe only in this way, she can live well in the future. But... Under her eyes, he found out that it was so difficult to say no to love.
Her lips were pressed together tightly, her expression stubborn and sad.
"No more love in this life..." His voice spread in the wind bit by bit. Xiao Zhizhi used all his strength to try to say the last three words, "Chu..." The qi and blood in his chest kept surging, and even with that internal force, he couldn't hold it back.
puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Xiao Zhizhi's mouth and sprayed straight onto Chu Zhuyu's face.
The smell of blood shrouded her body, her face and neck were all covered in his blood!
Then, she only saw his tall body falling towards her. But even when he fell down next to her, he still folded his body abruptly and protected her in his arms.
He fell to the ground, and she fell into his arms.
She knew that he loved her and it never changed. No matter how many lies he told, he still loved him.
The cause and effect of her and him have not perished in this life, and will continue in the next life.
She saw him spewing blood, the corners of his eyes and ears beginning to bleed little by little.
She saw him lying weak in bed, unable to sleep despite being tired.
She saw Liu Xiaowei kneeling in front of her, a seven-footed man who told her the cause and effect of the incident with tears in his eyes.
She saw that Zen Master Huiwu took her pulse, and there was a rare surprise on her face that saw through the world.
"Do you really want to save Jueqing?" Chan Master Huiwu's voice like a bell rang in her ears.
"Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it," she answered with certainty.
"But for saving him, you and your child have to pay a huge price."
"child?"
"You have been pregnant for more than a month. I think it was when Jueqing took the poison for you, which made you pregnant with a child. But it is also because you are pregnant with his child and have his bloodline, so only you, Only then can we save him," said Zen Master Huiwu. All cause and effect are doomed, maybe it is absolutely clear, and it should not be dead.
Chu Zhuyu's hand touched her lower abdomen. She's... pregnant with a baby? !
Zen Master Huiwu continued: "Originally, this poison can only be passed over once. But you have his flesh and blood, so you can pass the poison back to you through the blood poison. And this poison can be divided into two parts. , half by you, half by the child in your womb."
"Can't I do it all?" she asked anxiously.
He shook his head, "If you carry this poison alone, you will die! But even if you are divided into two parts, you will need to take medicine for many years in the future, and your body will be weak and susceptible to diseases. And this child, with poison in the womb, only Afraid that future growth will be far more difficult than others, even so, are you willing?"
Chu Zhu Yubei bit her lower lip and put her hand on her abdomen. There is a small life here, who has not yet been born, but will live a more difficult life than others, "Yes, I will. And this child... Jueqing and I will do our best, even if he (she) is born with poison , and let him (her) be as happy as ordinary people!"
A firm tone, without the slightest flinch. Zen Master Huiwu looked at Chu Zhuyu and sighed in his heart. It seems that the apprentice did not choose the wrong person. Although this woman looks weak, her inner strength is far beyond his imagination. "If this is the case, then I will tell you how to save Jueqing."
"I already know everything." Chu Zhuyu walked to the bed and looked at Xiao Zhizhi's eyes widened because he couldn't sleep.
He was silent while she stared at him. After a long time, he sighed, "Liu Xiaowei told you?"
"Yes!"
"That's what I'm willing to do." He didn't start, and stopped looking at her.
"You are willing to detoxify me, but have you ever thought about it, am I willing to let you detoxify it!" Chu Zhuyu clamped Xiao Zhizhi's face with both hands, forcing him to look at her again, "I tell you, I don't care at all. Not willing, not happy at all!"
"You blame me for taking over your body?" he asked suddenly.
wow! Who is blaming this! Chu Zhuyu gritted her teeth in anger, "Do you think that if you die, I can really live with peace of mind?"
"Don't you want to..." His eyes suddenly flashed panic.
"Are you scared?" She shrugged her nose and said viciously, "Xiao, do you know what is the most hateful thing about you? It's that after you detoxified me, you tried your best to hide it from me, not even letting I know what's going on!"
"I… "
"I am what I am! You said you can't live without me, but now you are desperately trying to distance yourself from me!"
"I'm just… "
"Do you want me to be a widow, or do you want me to take our child and marry another man?" She glared at him angrily.
"Child?" He was dumbfounded on the spot and turned into a wooden shape.
"Yeah, Zen Master Huiwu helped me to take my pulse and said that I already had a child in my stomach." It was obvious how long she had been in a coma.
After being stunned, his face burst into ecstasy, followed by anger, "Damn the doctor, who has been taking care of your body, but you haven't been diagnosed with pregnancy!"
"My pregnancy is short, and only someone with superb medical skills like your master can diagnose it." Her fingers scratched the blue marks on the bottom of his eyes, "How many days have you not slept?"
"I can't remember." His brows were full of exhaustion and weakness.
She took off her shoes, climbed into the bed, and buried herself in his arms, "Okay, you go to sleep obediently now!"
How long has it been since he touched the soft body in his arms? Xiao Zhizhi stared blankly at the lovely person leaning into his arms, the person he cared for with all his life.
Unable to help, he wrapped his arms around her, habitually burying his head in her shoulders, smelling the body fragrance he was familiar with.
Clear, light, not strong, but it can make him feel at ease.
"Zhuyu... Even without me, you can live well..." He closed his eyes and almost murmured.
How can it be! Chu Zhuyu rolled her eyes and looked at Xiao Zhizhi, who was gradually falling asleep.
When he was asleep, he didn't look as cold as he was when he was awake, but instead, he had a little more childishness. Her fingers slid across his eyebrows, his nose, the corners of his lips... How much will their children look like him and her in the future
Child... Chu Zhuyu's hand gradually moved to her abdomen again. She has thousands of regrets that she wants to say to this child. In the future, she will compensate the child thousands of times.
But now she has to do one thing, and only by doing this will she...
Chu Zhuyu carefully removed Xiao Zhizhi's hand from her body, and took out the box and dagger she was carrying. In the box, there was the blood poison given to her by the Zen master.
Taking a deep breath, she opened her palm with a dagger and put the blood Gu in her palm. Gu sucked her blood and slowly burrowed into her skin.
A slight tingling sensation spread from the palm of the hand to the whole body, but it was not as painful as she imagined.
The dagger in her hand moved slowly to the palm of his left hand, and she quickly slashed.
Xiao Zhizhi woke up suddenly, the blood in his palm gurgling, "Zhuyu, what are you..."
Before he could finish speaking, she had already put his hand on her palm. The palms of the two were firmly attached to each other as if they were attractive.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Zhizhi frowned, the suction in his palm and the tingling sensation made him suddenly understand, "Is it blood?"
"You guessed it right, it was the blood Gu that the Zen master gave me to save your life." Her five fingers clasped his fingers and clasped them together.
His face suddenly became extremely ugly, "Do you know that you will die like this?"
He doesn't want her to die! He finally rescued her, definitely not to see her die! Xiao Zhizhi only wanted to gather all his internal strength into the palm of his hand to resist the poison in his body and pass through the blood Gu to Chu Zhuyu's body.
"No! Only by doing this can we all survive!" She held his hand tightly, letting the poison in him flow back to her little by little, "You can live, My baby and I can survive. If I hadn't conceived your baby, I couldn't save you. But it was like fate, I had a baby, so I could save you! Although there is no way to put this poison Clearing it up, although my child and I may carry this poison in our life, we will be weaker than ordinary people. But... I want to save you, no matter what!"
"Do you know what kind of decision you made?" The hot and sticky feeling in the palm of his hand seemed to constantly remind him that she was his calamity, but she was also saving him.
"I know." She smiled slowly, "Even after a hundred calamities, the karma created will never perish."
A look, a smile, and it can be understood in an instant. He stared at her in a daze, and slowly moved the clasped hands to his lips and kissed gently, "When the karma meets, the deserved retribution will still be borne. In the next life, I will definitely come again. Repay this world and your karma. Until it entangles life after life...”
She really... hasn't been back to the teahouse for a long, long time. After so many things have happened, it will be a few months later by the time she takes care of her body.
Chu Zhuyu returned to the Chu family with her six-month-pregnant stomach.
"Chu Zhuyu, you actually ruined the style of our Chu family!"
Destroy the door? Does she have it? Hmm... It seems that it was originally planned, but in the end it didn't work out.
"Although you are my cousin, but you are such a prostitute, you are pregnant before you get married. Even if you are dragged and immersed in the pig cage, I will not say a good word to you."
Hey, of course they won't say good things to her, their purpose is just to invade the teahouse. Chu Zhuyu put her hands on her chin, and watched the Chu family's father and son sing together in front of her.
"Uh... But, I'm about to get married!" This morning, Jueqing was said to have gone to the palace to ask for an decree to confer marriage.
"Married? Who are you and who?" Uncle Chu said.
"You have a big belly, and someone will marry you?" said the cousin of the Chu family.
"To marry the father of the child," she answered truthfully.
The Chu family's father and son looked at each other as soon as they heard it. Uncle Chu immediately said: "Zhuyu, you agreed with us at the beginning, you have to find a man to marry, otherwise, this teahouse will have to be sold to us for a thousand taels, so as not to let the Chu family's family business fall into the hands of others. "
Father Chu, who was on the side, pulled his daughter to his side and said in a low voice, "Ayu, since you have found your in-law's family and you have a child, they can give it to them if they want this teahouse. For my father, I just ask you to have a good life."
"Father, it's alright." Chu Zhuyu reassured her father and turned to face the Chu family. "I have to discuss with the child's father about the marriage."
"Is that person willing to marry?" The two were anxious.
"I don't know, I haven't asked him about it yet..." Chu Zhuyu just said that when she heard the sound of horses' hooves at the door.
Not long after, a figure walked in carelessly, followed by a general.
This... Isn't this General Xiao? The Chu family's father and son and Chu father's eyes widened instantly.
In this room, the three of them still couldn't understand why General Xiao came here. In that room, the big-bellied woman had already made a running gesture.
"Jueqing!" Chu Zhuyu threw herself into the other's arms with a big belly, "How about discussing something with you?"
"Tell me about it." Xiao Zhizhi hugged Chu Zhuyu carefully, for fear that she would bump into her.
"How about you joining my family?" In one sentence, everyone present, except for the person who spoke and the person being questioned, all had their jaws dropped.
"Admission?"
"If you don't join the family, my tea house may not be able to keep it." She said very, very "sadly".
"Then in the early morning tomorrow, I will ask the emperor to change the imperial edict of the marriage a little bit." Xiao Zhizhi himself didn't care much about whether he was married.
The Chu family's father and son on the side instead shouted again and again: "You can't get into the marriage!"
If today's sages were to know that the reason why the dignified generals of the country were married to civilian women was because of them... Then, that, then there is no life left!
As for the tea house... It's already a hot potato at the moment, of course it's terrible!
