Chapter 27 The Princess Whose Parents Are Orphaned
After a long and fierce battle, the flames of war in the northern border finally died down, and the smoke cleared, leaving behind a landscape of devastation and sorrow. However, this war brought not only the joy of victory, but also endless sorrow and loss.
In the princess's mansion on the frontier, the prince consort Xie Yunze died unfortunately due to his serious illness and unsuccessful treatment.
The princess's residence was once again shrouded in mourning as a grand funeral took place. Countless people came and went. Since Xie Yunze had been ill since arriving in the Northern Frontier, few had seen him. However, this did not prevent them from expressing their deepest condolences and respect for their son-in-law. Lin Ruan stood aside, quietly observing everything before her, as if her heart was filled with endless sorrow and longing, yet she tried hard to suppress it without showing any emotion.
It makes people unable to bear to look at it a second time after taking one look.
"Princess, my son is gone..." Earl Anning's voice was low, revealing endless sorrow and exhaustion. His once straight back now bent slightly, as if carrying an unbearable weight. The traces of time were increasingly evident on his face, and every wrinkle seemed to speak of his inner sorrow.
However, despite his heartbroken heart, Earl An Ning still forced himself to cheer up and face the noble royal princess in front of him - Lin Ruan.
"The living have to go on living, please accept my condolences." Earl An Ning said slowly.
Lin Ruan felt that this era was really ironic - Earl An Ning, who had lost his beloved son, had to comfort himself, Princess Changle, not to be sad about his deceased son.
"My Lord, you are a good minister," Lin Ruan nodded at him, and then asked in an almost inaudible voice: "But can you forget Yulang?"
"I can't do that." Earl An Ning's voice was almost inaudible.
"I don't know how to do that either." Lin Ruan said.
At the end of the second year after Lin Ruan arrived at the border, the war in the northern border subsided, and Anning Earl Xie Loudong was appointed as the General Zhenbei and stationed in the northern border.
The son-in-law Xie Yunze passed away, and Princess Changle Lin Ruan escorted the coffin back to Beijing.
"I didn't love you deeply, but fate showed mercy, and even cut off the future with only memories left. It's really nothing special..." Lin Ruan closed his eyes, and the memories came to him with the music in his mind -
"Princess, will you come visit me tomorrow?" Xie Yunze lay on his sickbed, emaciated and skinny, as if the disease had devoured all his flesh and blood, leaving only a hollow skeleton supporting his body. His once bright and deep eyes were now deeply sunken, his gaze dull and lifeless, revealing a frightening aura. He was a far cry from the elegant, gentle, and refined young man he once was.
However, who could have imagined that only a little over two years had passed since his wedding? Time flies, and things are unpredictable. The beauty of the past seemed like yesterday's clouds, gone in a flash. In less than three years, a famous man in Kyoto had become like this. It is truly sad.
"Do you want me to come? If so, I'll come." Lin Ruan said.
Xie Yunze didn't speak for a long time. He just stared at Lin Ruan for a long time before saying, "Princess, do you remember when we went south of the Yangtze River and encountered a group of pirates? You saved me in the time of danger?"
Lin Ruan nodded. This was her plan. It was a case of long experience making a good doctor. Having treated her own various mental disorders for years, Lin Ruan was very familiar with some psychological effects.
Xie Yunze asked again: "Princess, you have never called me by my given name. Can you please call me by my given name once?"
Lin Ruan certainly wouldn't spoil his fun, "Yun Ze."
she says.
Xie Yunze burst into tears suddenly, but he did not howl or sob like the others. Perhaps this was his character, or perhaps it was because he knew that his end was near, so he just lowered his head silently, letting the tears slide uncontrollably from his eyes, first falling drop by drop on the quilt, and then gradually gathering into strings of crystal clear tears.
"Why are you crying?" Lin Ruan asked softly, pinching Xie Yunze's chin with her fingers and slowly lifting his face. Then, she carefully extended her fingers towards Xie Yunze's eyes, as if trying to wipe away the tears. However, just as she was about to touch them, she stopped and gently withdrew her fingers.
"The prince consort looks so pretty when he cries." Lin Ruan said softly.
Xie Yunze's memories slowly became clearer. He recalled their wedding day, the moment he first met Lin Ruan; the way Lin Ruan had saved him in the nick of time; and the way she'd always called him "Yu Lang" with beaming eyes... These beautiful memories played before his eyes like a movie.
"Princess, you..." He seemed to have gained some strength suddenly and held Lin Ruan's hand tightly. His strength was not great, and Lin Ruan only felt a little tingling, but no pain.
"I wish you a long and happy life, Princess." I didn't say what I wanted to ask in the end. It was just a farewell, so I just wanted to give my blessing.
There are so many things I want to say, but I don't know where to begin. The questions and confusion hidden deep within my heart weigh like a heavy stone, suffocating me. However, now that the time has come to part, no amount of agonizing or reluctance will help. Some things are better left unanswered; some dreams, let them remain deep in my memory, without shattering those beautiful illusions.
Let it end like this, maybe this is fate.
These few short words carry endless thoughts and wishes. May the princess live a peaceful and happy life; may her smile always be as bright as the sun, warming everyone's heart.
I hope she can find her true happiness and no longer be troubled by worldly matters.
He wished that in his next life, his parents would be healthy, he wanted to be surrounded by beautiful women, and never meet her again.
"I wish you eternal happiness, Princess" became Xie Yunze's last words before he left.
Lin Ruan was a little stunned. It was clearly her decision that caused Xie Yunze to die today, but it still felt unreal.
Later, Xie Yunze was so thin that he couldn't even feel his breathing when he lay in the quilt, just like now.
"Princess, the prince consort is gone..." An Lan said with a sob, looking at Lin Ruan worriedly.
Lin Ruan felt that Xie Yunze was just asleep, and it seemed that if she called him, he would wake up again.
"Xie Yunze?"
Of course he can't be woken up.
Lin Ruan suddenly thought of something, walked into the study, and rummaged through it for a long time before she found the marriage certificate that she had only glanced at from beginning to end. Lin Ruan then discovered that the signature on it was not "Xie Yunze", but "Xie Shi Youjun".
Lin Ruan then realized that Xie Yunze's calligraphy actually means "Youjun" - "A gentleman is like a sword, like a knife, like a mirror, like a stone, like a mirror."
Only then did Lin Ruan understand why Xie Yunze cried when he heard her call him "Yun Ze".
Perhaps he finally understood that Lin Ruan had never liked him and had never even read the marriage certificate carefully.
Lin Ruan rolled up the marriage certificate and stuffed it back on the bookshelf, muttering, "So what if he knows? He didn't point it out explicitly anyway."
Lin Ruan knew that her anger was unreasonable.
"Xiao Shiqi, play a song for me, play "You Are Not the First Person to Leave." Lin Ruan said.
"Host, I am your system, not the wooden fish in the temple that adds merit to you." The system emphasized.
ˉ\_( ?? ?? ??)_/ˉ
"Hurry up, Lord An Ning will be here soon. I can't stay in this state. Do you still want to live in this world?" Lin Ruan threatened.
The system wanted to respond sarcastically, "I don't really want it anymore~", but it still couldn't bear to do so.
I still played the song with a sense of frustration.
╭ (╯ ^ ╰) ╮
Lin Ruan listened to it several times, but was still not satisfied. The song was not sad enough and could not arouse the emotions on the other side of her thick wall.
"Change it to 'Not a Lover'." Lin Ruan said again.
The system tutted twice and said, "You are quite experienced."
Lin Ruan said: "That's right, as long as the playlist is broad enough, there are emotions that I can't empathize with. It's a joke."
