The Story of Lang Yuan①

Chapter 24

?The newly appointed imperial concubine murdered the emperor's heir. When the news came out, everyone was in an uproar. The Yuan family even urged Bai Chen to execute Li Shang to uphold justice for Yuan Yingshan. Made a decree to put Li Shang into the sky prison.

Li Shang looked at the person standing at the door of the prison, and didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't know when Xiao Shu'er thought about him, let alone how much she loved him, "Sister, you don't have to do this, You still have a great time to enjoy, so why give up your life for a man like Li Shang?"

"What do you know, if I can choose to die, then dying for the one I love is also a good choice. What's more, the Xiao family has a large army, and the emperor will not let me die."

Li Shang said, "Sister, don't be so stupid, if you are still interested in Li Shang, just listen to me, I hope you can go to the prairie in the northern country, gallop on horses, sing wildly, and live your life in style. In this life, instead of being stuck in this imperial city, looking at this dirty sky, guarding me, guarding this hopeless love... The more you treat yourself, the more happy I will be, sister, it’s far away I beg you.

He didn't know that the woman who had a deep affection for him, because of these words, her face was wrinkled on the vast grassland, and the years were wasted and the vicissitudes of life.The old geese have undergone several changes in cold and heat, but they have never let go of their longing for the southern country. The same is true for Xiao Shu'er. Whenever she sees the old geese's wings flying across the sky, she is always feeling, Li Shang, you still don't understand love, you still don't understand love. I don't understand me, how can I be happy without you, in fact, for me, as long as there is love in my heart, watching is happiness.

Li Shang was not executed in the end.

Monsters are the best at deceiving people's hearts, among which fox demons and snake demons are the best. Although other spirits are not so exquisite, they are more than enough to deal with a small mortal.Swallow could see clearly how Caiyuan asked Li Shang for medicine to abort her pregnancy, and how she couldn't shrink back after Li Shang went to prison.

It was the night when Caiyuan begged to see Bai Chen. This was the first time in history. Out of curiosity, Bai Chen called her in, but the woman's eyes were dull, she was like a puppet on a string, and her movements were slow. Speech slowly, "Your Majesty, I sent the abortion medicine for Concubine De. Young Master Li Shang is innocent, please release him from the prison."

Bai Chen stared fixedly at the woman kneeling on the ground, he didn't understand, what kind of virtue and ability does Li Shang, a femme fatale, make so many people willing to take the blame for him, Xiao Shu'er is like this, Cai Yuan is also like this , Is he really so worthy of others to love?Regarding whether to release Li Shang, Bai Chen did not give Cai Yuan a clear answer, but only told her to reconsider the matter and asked her to produce evidence of Li Shang's innocence.Caiyuan didn't say anything to refute Bai Chen, but the next morning, the court lady found Caiyuan hanged on the beam of Chuxiu Palace, with a blood book on the table, describing how she murdered the emperor's heir and set the blame on her. Lishang's.At this time, I don't know who revealed it. On the bustling streets of the imperial city, pedestrians, hawkers, and even the old bustards of brothels are discussing this matter. A royal secret has caused a lot of trouble in the city, and everyone is angry. They have no choice but to compromise. , agreed to release Li Shang without charge.

After Li Shang returned to the Yonghe Palace, he planted a large area of ​​the other shore in the yard. As soon as the autumn wind passed, blood flowers bloomed on the ground, dazzlingly red and desperately beautiful. From a distance, it looked as if it was about to burn , beautiful, but shocking.Li Shang wears white clothes every day, sitting in the pile of flowers, peaches and plums face, red and refined flowers, the two complement each other, complement each other, beautiful, but there is a faint breath of death, even at noon in the scorching sun, it can make people feel In the heavy oppression of the dusk, Li Shang was like an old man, without a trace of life, as if half of his foot had already stepped into the coffin.

"Li Shang, did you know that Aunt Xiao left, as if she went to the northern prairie." Bai Luoqi didn't like Li Shang who was dead all day, and even more disliked Li Shang who was sitting in the flowers all day.Xiao Shu'er had told him that although the flower Li Shang planted was beautiful, its meaning was ominous. That flower, also known as Ghost Bride, grew on the bank of Wangchuan River, and was accompanied by death from generation to generation. Even the flower language was stingy with the meaning of blessing.In this season, the sky seems to be far away. Bai Luoqi dragged Li Shang out of the Yonghe Palace and took him for a walk around the palace. Xiao Shuer left. Bai Luoqi vaguely felt that Li Shang He won't be with him for too long, he knows that he can't keep these people, so when they are still with each other, they will leave more memories, so that it will be good to have a good aftertaste after parting...

It's late autumn, and the imperial garden of the imperial palace is still colorful, but the cold palace is even more desolate. There are a few dilapidated houses in the yard overgrown with weeds, which accommodate the miserable second half of the abandoned concubine's life.Mei Shiling has always had stomach problems, and can't eat raw or cold food, but the abandoned concubine in the cold palace can't eat hot food, it's just rotten steamed bread with rotten vegetable leaves every day, and the cold and hard corn noodles are undoubtedly for Mei Shiling. Ling's delicate stomach brought a huge disaster.When Bai Luoqi took Li Shang for a walk to the cold palace, Mei Shiling just spat out a mouthful of blood, that poor woman saw Li Shang as if she had seen a life-saving straw, she held Li Shang tightly with her two skinny hands, "Please, save me, I know you are skilled in medicine, you must save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"It can't be saved, I'm sorry." As soon as Li Shang took the pulse, he found that the woman's stomach had already been ulcerated, and now she has a stomach perforation, and is terminally ill. Even if her master is still alive, there may be no way to recover.But the woman didn't give up, she was still holding on to Li Shang's sleeves, begging with tears, saying that the doctor's parents love him, even though Li Shang is a fox demon, he is also a doctor anyway, watching Mei Shiling tortured by illness He couldn't bear it, but he really couldn't do anything about the disease, so he could only give Mei Shiling an injection to relieve her pain, but looking at the woman's face, he probably wouldn't be able to survive for three days.

When leaving the Leng Palace, Bai Luoqi tripped over the dilapidated threshold in front of the Leng Palace. The child wanted to act like a spoiled child with Li Shang, but couldn't get up on the ground, so he had to let Li Shang come and hug him. Li Shang looked at him for a long time and sighed , walked back to the cold palace, tripped over the threshold on purpose, then slowly propped himself up with two arms, stood up, and said condescendingly to Luo Qi, "Come on, child, get up like me. "Bai Luoqi didn't know why Li Shang was so indifferent to him all of a sudden, but seeing the serious expression on Li Shang's face, he still didn't dare to refute, got up silently, ran to Li Shang's side, and held Li Shang carefully. Shang's finger raised his head timidly, "Li Shang, what's wrong with you? Are you sad because you couldn't save that person?"

Li Shang lowered his head and smiled at him, and slowly squatted down, "No, I know very well that I can't save everyone. There are some illnesses that I really can't do. After living for so long, I'm used to life and death. So although there will be some melancholy, it will pass soon, and it won't be sad for a long time... I was just thinking, maybe I can't be with you for a long time, maybe I can't even watch you grow up." Li Shang looked at The child in front of him suddenly felt a pang of sadness, not because of his dying life, nor because of his hopeless love, but because of this dying teacher-student relationship, "You have to remember, when you fall, you have to get up by yourself , because in the future, no one will pick you up from the ground; remember, don’t always think about rewards when studying, and don’t always think about success when doing things. What you should really enjoy is the process of doing things; Life is for looking at flowers, snow, and the world, not for fighting for good things; those books of mine must be read..." Bai Luoqi frowned, raised her hand, and gently wiped away the corners of Li Shang's eyes. The teardrops are falling, it seems that my guess is not wrong, you have to leave too. "I know, Li Shang, if I have the chance, I will leave this palace again, and I will never compete with others for that golden chair, don't worry."
