Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

In March, the peach blossoms are white and the clouds cover the sky, but there is no one to climb the peach blossoms in the palace.The matter of the dog army was almost settled, the army withdrew beyond the border, and made a memorial to proclaim its ministers.The king of Weiyi received a great reward, and he didn't need to go to Beijing to thank him. The emperor asked him to return to Chu to cultivate earlier, and the eldest son only needed to go to Beijing to return the tiger amulet.

For more than a month, Prince Xuan has not taken a day off from his official duties. Even if the emperor gave him a rest, he would rush to the outside of the city to ask farmers about farming.

One day, the spring rain came suddenly, and the day lilies carefully tended in front of Liji's study room all rotted in the field overnight. After hearing the report from the servants, Liji rushed out of the bedroom barefoot without even wearing a coir raincoat, and let the rain pour on his bed. On his body, he knelt in front of the mud, trembling and reaching out to touch the rotting daylilies in the mud. This year they have not had time to bloom, and have not seen the summer wind, autumn frost, and winter snow. In a very unusual spring rain.Liji's middle coat was soaked, and he lay on the muddy ground to protect the dead grass. He didn't know who to return the tears to.

The princess of Weiyi died of illness in the mansion. Her body was terribly sick. Her husband and eldest son were not around. The side concubine in the mansion was in power. Everyone would have guessed that such a concubine would have a hard time, but no one would have thought that she would walk away quietly in one night. It's quiet, as if it's never been in this world.

Yi Wangfu's three requests to send Ding You's booklet to the palace were all rejected. According to the ancestral system, the children of the Yi family who came to Beijing would probably be robbed of their parents' funeral. To put it bluntly, they are also half-protons, and they have no reason to return to the fief and keep their filial piety.

Liji asked for leave to stay in the mansion, and no one was seen. He asked people to lock the doors and windows, not allowing any light to come in, and the food that was brought in was hardly touched. Two days ago, there were still witches dancing and chanting poems and elegiac songs in the house. The sound, there was no movement in the room in the next few days.Jiang Shen and the others had no choice but to persuade them again, but it was useless. The people in the room didn't answer at all, so they could only break open the door and force people to pour rice soup and herbal tea into it.

Liji's beard grew from his temples around his chin, and he was haggard to the point of lifelessness, and the leather bean and other things in the house were cut several times by the sword.Liu Fu took time out of his busy schedule to come back once, the two of them sat without saying a word to each other, and neither of them could say anything to comfort the other.

Li Ji drew his sword and danced for a while, Liu Fu also drew his sword and danced, and the two danced away from each other.With eyes red, Li Ji chopped off a strand of blue hair with a sword swing, and the hair fell silently. Li Ji knelt on the ground and let out a roar, then held his hair and cried bitterly.

Liufu's emotions were also aroused to the extreme, his eyes were red, and he covered his chest. Seeing the normally calm and elegant Liji, he was crying and screaming as he slapped the ground. When it was lifted to the neck, it happened to be seen by the servants who rushed in, and they dragged the two of them away in a panic.

Liu Fu's sword was taken away, he couldn't bear the grief in his heart any longer, and cried bitterly at his desk.One of Li Ji and Liu Fu was pressed on the bed and the other on the couch, the two of them didn't communicate at all, but the sound of crying was merged together.

This incident alarmed Bi Xin in the palace, he could understand what happened in the mansion when Li Ji lost his mother, but Liu Fu had the intention of abandoning himself for no reason, so panicked Bi Xin sent Liu Fu to the palace for treatment.

Liu Fu was pressed on the bed in Cheqiu Pavilion, and he was at the mercy of others in a daze.Bi Xin was jumping up and down anxiously in the palace, and asked the imperial doctor to find out what was going on, and called all the relevant attendants to the palace to ask questions in person, but everyone didn't know about it, and couldn't answer why.

Only Du Pin mentioned that Liu Fu has been depressed since he returned to Beijing, and his appetite was poor. The imperial physician only said that he had worked hard in Yizhou, was too harsh on himself, and tended to be depressed and eat badly, so he prescribed medicine for him. .Although the medicine is used every day, the effect is good and bad, and Liu Fu himself does not take it seriously.In the past month, the depression has become more and more serious. Apart from being busy with business day and night, I don’t want to say a word. I used to be unable to eat meat, but now I can’t even eat rice. After eating, sometimes I would spit it out, and I wouldn't listen to anyone's persuasion, and I was not allowed to tell the palace.

Bi Xin's heart ached like a knife, he only knew that Liu Fu had been wronged in Yizhou, and since then he didn't like to eat meat, and he coaxed and tricked him to eat meat a few times. Last time, the two had a stalemate about bestowing a noble daughter. The two never saw each other except for business, and no one cared about their daily meals.

Bi Xin felt that such a thing was too embarrassing to apologize, and it took seven or eight days before he made up his mind to coax Liu Fu, but at that time Liu Fu didn't have any emotional disturbance at all, and he just said official words according to the etiquette.Bi Xin was also very angry, and turned his face to look for Liu Fu, but he was hit with a nail all over him, so he simply ignored him and followed Liu Fu to lose his temper.

Bi Xin asked how the imperial physician was doing, and the leading imperial physician said: "The lord's qi stagnates and phlegm stagnates, hurts the spirit and heart, and because of fright, he hates eating and eating. He is depressed and has added new worries. My minister guesses that the lord is worried. People who think too much, many things are pressed in their hearts and they don’t talk about it. They can’t get through with themselves, and if they catch up with bad food, the body really can’t bear it. Today, because of King Yi’s grief, the prince has the intention of abandoning himself, but fortunately, it’s only for a while Temperament is not his original intention, Your Majesty needs to pay more attention."

Bi Xin frowned and said: "Why do you become sick with worry?"

"The root of it is that human nature is like this, and it is hard to change in a lifetime. People around you need to explain it a lot, let him talk about his worries, and then let him relax, and it will be better."

He said in his heart that Liu Fu has always worried about the country and the people, and when the state affairs will never end, this worry can only help him let go.

The imperial doctor said: "It's just that the prince is different from other people who are depressed and manic. He needs to soothe the liver, cleanse the phlegm, and regulate the blood. .”

Bi Xin asked very worriedly: "Does this mean that there is no cure but suppression?"

The imperial doctor was startled, the emperor actually understood the truth, and said: "Actually, the emperor doesn't have to worry too much. In fact, as long as this kind of disposition is properly adjusted, it will surely achieve a great career. Li Taibai and his ilk have such a disposition."

"Properly adjusted, how to adjust?"

"Need to be guided slowly, always accompanied by the closest person, follow his heart, and relieve his sorrow."

Bi Xin let out a long sigh, and asked the imperial physicians to step back and let the prescriptions be prepared to make the medicine.

How much suffering Liufu has endured in the past month, now that Bi Xin thinks about it, he can only feel the pain in his heart.He sat on the side of the bed, hugged Liu Fu into his arms, Liu Fu frowned, but did not respond to him.Bi Xin just hugged him, followed his back, and whispered: "Silly Fuer, if you are angry with yourself, just vent to me if you are angry."

"elder brother."

Liu Fu almost uttered two words with a voice that was too weak to be heard.

"Don't ask, I'll be fine on my own." Liu Fu closed his eyes and said.

"Okay, okay, I know." He said.

Liu Fu choked up a sob, lay on Bi Xin's body and began to cry, tears wet Bi Xin's shoulders.

"Cry, it's okay, brother won't laugh at you."

Bi Xin stroked his back tenderly, tears slipped down the tip of his nose quietly.

The Weiyi Palace sent people from Chu to Beijing, and soon a group of people entered the Yiwang Palace.Liji was in confusion in the mansion for several days, and the imperial physician sent him away twice. Only after the people from Chu entered the mansion did Liji have the energy to ask.

The princess told her early on that if she left, her dowry, Shuchou, would go to Beijing to serve Chongxi, and Jieyou would stay in the mansion to serve Mingling.So the concubine died, the mansion first sent letters to the two places in a hurry, and Shuchou brought some cronies and went to Beijing the next day.

In fact, Liji had already guessed that his mother's health was failing. The last letter from home was written by someone else. His mother always wrote to himself to report good news but not bad news, and he had to write it himself. The last letter did not mention his health, but he explained a lot. The matter is mainly about him and Ming Ling.Li Ji forced himself not to think about those consequences, but when he closed his eyes, he saw his mother and younger brother. He hated that he could not be by their side, even if he was a prince, he could not protect them well.

When Liji saw Jichou and saw Mingling's crooked and twisted words, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Auntie, I really miss my mother, but I can't bring back her soul." Li Ji cried bitterly while hugging her.

"Brother Xi, slaves don't want to see this. The princess is afraid that you will know that she is not in good health, so she keeps silent. In fact, her body is supported by the two brothers. She suffers every day, and now she is really relieved. You have to watch your body too."

"What is liberation?"

He sighed and said: "Brother doesn't know, the prince and you are not in the mansion, and the concubine Zhu is the housekeeper. That bitch is very arrogant because of raising the uncle, and there is no one who can make decisions. Either there is less charcoal today or tomorrow My son is short of ice, and the food and medicinal materials are being deducted, and the mother-in-law scolds the street through the yard, life in our yard is really difficult."

Li Ji asked with red eyes: "Did she kill mother?"

"Then she doesn't dare. Even if she's provoking troubles in ordinary times, she doesn't dare to actually harm people. Our concubine has been sick for many years, and being disturbed by such a bitch, the last days are really pitiful."

Resentment welled up in Li Ji's heart. In such a house, he doted on his concubine and killed his wife, and committed crimes against his superiors, allowing the slut to hurt his mother.He hated why that person married his mother. Since pampering a concubine is not as good as supporting her, and she has an eldest son who is justified, he just married his mother for the sake of his face and refused to make a concubine a concubine. into the house.Over the years, their mother and son have been cautious, for fear that they will make a mistake and offend the lord, but that yard enjoys the happiness of a father's kindness and filial piety.

I am a sinner myself, why was I born in such a family, and I have to be a hostage to my father without the slightest love from my father, and I have to be separated from my mother and younger brother.He deprived himself of all the comfort and care in this life, it was really cruel.Li Ji was emotionally charged with mixed feelings, he just snorted coldly in the end, such a family and such a father are not worthy of letting him do so many things, what they owe their mother, themselves, and Mingling, they will have to pay them one by one sooner or later Come out, the world owes people justice.
