Empress True Colors - v4 Chapter 98
Jing Hengbo stopped when he heard the word “medicine tripod”.
It’s a pity that she didn’t have any sense of existence in the eyes of the old man on the opposite side. The old man rushed out, passed by her without seeing her, and said to Chun Shui in a hurry: “Find the pearl! This matter can’t be delayed any longer! I’ll prepare a I’ll give you the list, and you can get some medicine by the way.” As he said that, he was about to find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but before he could take a step, he was stopped by an arm.
Long Zhai settled down, raised his head, and stared at Jing Hengbo in front of him with cold eyes.
Jing Hengbo was content and fearless, and looked at him with a funny smile.
Long Zhai said slowly: “Get out of the way, don’t delay the matter.”
“Why don’t I let it go?” Jing Hengbo turned his head to look at him.
“If you don’t let you, you are shameless, despicable, selfish, ruthless, jealous, vicious, and murderous!” Long Zhai roared suddenly, veins burst out on his forehead, and his eyes seemed to be on fire, scorching Jing Hengbo.
“Oh?” Jing Hengbo suppressed his smile and asked slowly.
“Last time when Mingzhu fit together, I messed it up for you. This time you want to mess it up. You keep saying you care about the Patriarch, and you stick to the Patriarch all the time, but you always put his life in danger. You have the face to say that you care.” Him? Do you have the face to cling to him? Do you have the face to stay by his side like a wife?” Long Zhai suddenly turned around and pointed into the room, yelling in a low voice, “His true energy is difficult to control, and recently he suffered a serious loss. So much so that the dams are completely destroyed, and the huge waves discharge the flood, sooner or later he will become a useless person, no need to ask, this must be thanks to you, only because of the harm you caused, he will not say a word!”
Jing Hengbo was silent, and said, “It is indeed because of me.”
“Then you should repay your kindness! Let him use the medicine cauldron freely! The old man can’t understand why you stop it! You were the one who came later, and you are the one who took possession of the magpie’s nest! The medicine cauldron cultivated by the Patriarch since he was a child, has suffered so much for the Patriarch, and waited for so many years. Now she donates voluntarily regardless of her status. Your wife is safe and secure. What face do you have to stop? Men in the world have three wives and four concubines It’s too much, how can you women have any room to talk? If you think that you are the queen and cannot tolerate other women, then you should let go as soon as possible and don’t pester him to ruin his life!” Long Zhai flicked his sleeves heavily, “Hmph, you always say you love and affectionately, but Don’t even give him a chance to survive. If you really like Patriarch, don’t you know that there is nothing more important than life except life and death!”
He was swearing all over the place, when he turned his face and saw Nan Jin coming in with her clothes in her arms, she listened expressionlessly, and immediately pointed at the pearl, saying: “It’s just in time, throw away the clothes, you have more important things to do .”
Nan Jin glanced at his expression, then at Jing Hengbo, then at the room inside, her expression changed slightly, and then she returned to her usual expressionless expression, handed the clothes to Jing Hengbo, turned around and left.
“Stop!” Long Zhai was dumbfounded, and he was stunned for a while before shouting.
Nan Jin stood still, with her back turned to this side, without turning her head.
Long Zhai was furious, and hurried forward to grab Nan Jin, “You are crazy too! One or two are so unreasonable! Is this your willful time?”
Nan Jin slowly inserted her hands into her sleeves, looked up at the sky, and didn’t answer.
Long Zhai was so angry that he was shaking all over, so he had to turn around abruptly, pointing at Jing Hengbo, and said angrily: “It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault, my Long family met you, it was the misfortune of eight lifetimes!”
Jing Hengbo stared at him fiercely, without giving in. Long Zhai rubbed against the spot twice, then suddenly grabbed her sleeve and said, “Come with me!”
He vigorously pulled Jing Hengbo into the room, where Gong Yin was sleeping peacefully, and it seemed that Long Zhai had tapped his acupuncture points.
Long Zhai has been pulling Jing Hengbo to the bedside, sitting on the bedside himself, and suddenly untied Gong Yin’s hair bun.
Jing Hengbo shrank his gaze, staring at his movements without blinking.
It was weird for a man to do this action, but her heart was pounding. Some questions hidden deep in her heart suddenly rose from her heart like dregs, stirring over and over again, and she suddenly felt that her breath was a little unstable.
The bottom of Long Zhai’s hand is Gong Yin’s black hair, so black and shiny, with a brocade-like luster.
Long Zhai fetched a basin of water, and Jing Hengbo stared at him. It’s not that she has never seen Gong Yin’s hair wet, and she hasn’t noticed any changes.
Long Zhai sprinkled some medicinal powders into the water, three kinds in total, and then put Gong Yin’s hair into the basin of water that had not changed color.
There was still no change at the beginning, Long Zhai lightly scrubbed and washed the ends of his hair, after a while, a layer of faint black diffused, and the black was actually insoluble in water, like gelatin.
Jing Hengbo didn’t look at the black gelatin, she fixed her eyes on the tail of the hair, the gradually revealing silver white hurt her eyes.
When was the hair full of black hair and white hair all night?
Long Zhai glanced at her, sneered silently, and wanted to scrub, but Jing Hengbo grabbed his hand and closed his eyes.
Don’t look at it, the white hair starts from the root of the hair, and the tips are all white, so it is naturally full of silver hair.
She is cowardly, she doesn’t have the courage to look at that silver hair, it will not only make her heartbroken, but also hate herself even more – she should have discovered the clues of his gray hair a long time ago, there were several times in her memory The flying shadow was ignored by her.
She couldn’t help but ask herself—did she really care about him enough?
On the opposite side, Long Zhai tortured her without missing a chance, “Your Majesty, you seem to care about the Patriarch’s appearance, but do you really care? The Patriarch’s hair has been gray for a long time, and you spend a lot of time with him day and night, life and death, why do you Didn’t find out?”
Jing Hengbo was speechless.
“His white hair was covered up with a wig at first, but later he found that the wig was not safe, so he dyed his hair again. Later, he found that the dyed hair was easy to be soaked in water and lost its color, and he tried medicine. After the medicine lasted for a while, the bottom layer began to fail. Re-developed the drug, and finally completely covered this white hair, but this drug will still harm his body, just to prevent you from being sad, he will not hesitate to be hurt.”
“And you,” Long Zhai’s voice was slightly contemptuous, “you didn’t notice his gray hair in the earliest days, when he hadn’t found a perfect way to cover it up.”
Jing Hengbo turned his face away, she would not feel guilty towards Long Zhai, but at this moment the white hair seemed to have fallen from her heart.
Gong Yin… why bother!
The white hair, which was painstakingly covered up, concealed the pain for a while, but in the end it couldn’t stop the belated pain, and the pain would be worse because of guilt and self-blame.
Long Zhai didn’t intend to let her go, put down the basin, and after pulling up Gong Yin’s hair again, he untied his sleeve and pulled it all the way to his elbow, pointed to the tip of his elbow, and said, “You should press it according to.”
Jing Hengbo pressed, and the slightly sharp touch at the bottom of her finger made her complexion change again.
“There’s something under here!” she said in horror.
A sneer flashed across Long Zhai’s face, and he said, “Needle.”
“Needle?” Jing Hengbo felt that the thing was very small, was it a hidden weapon, why couldn’t it be taken out?
“A needle, a broken needle, it was this thing that blocked his meridians, causing him to be unable to move for a full year after leaving Dige, and when he saw you later, he was still unable to walk.” Long Zhai Pointing to the joints of Gong Yin’s hands and legs, “A broken needle, broken into countless pieces, traveled all over the body, and finally blocked all the joints and important acupuncture points. It took him more than a year to melt away the fragments of his limbs, but in fact, he should have spent at least three years.”
Jing Hengbo slowly widened his eyes.
“Because of you, because you found him, in order to protect you, he rushed to the acupuncture point ahead of time.” Long Zhai pointed to his right leg, “He used his leg early when he shouldn’t, and now his leg , it should be extremely painful when there is a slight rain, of course, you definitely don’t know it.”
Jing Hengbo recalled that in Luoyun back then, she was unjustly murdered by Prince Luoyun, and Gong Yin was in charge of collecting evidence. At that time, he started to walk on his legs. She remembered that when he turned around, he seemed to hear a slight “click”.
It turned out that it was the sound of him forcing the needle forcefully, forcing his legs to resume walking, so as to disturb Luoyun for her more conveniently.
“This needle…” She felt it was difficult to breathe, “Why…”
Long Zhai already understood what she meant, and said calmly: “Naturally, the needles are complete. It is Xueshan’s way to control all the disciples. The complete needles are located in… the lower abdomen. Controlling the true energy of the lower dantian, this hand is for He has cultivated the kung fu of being ruthless and patient in the Xueshan sect. But the Patriarch made him move, and the needle could have been pulled out safely, but something went wrong, causing the needle to shatter his whole body, and his hair turned gray overnight.”
Jing Hengbo suddenly understood everything.
That needle was for Cynomorium abstinence, so when Gong Yin was with her at the beginning, he couldn’t be emotional at all. Once emotional, his true energy lost control, and he was frozen and snowed.
Later, he probably wandered to the vicinity of the heart, so that he dared not guarantee life and death, and began to ruthlessly arrange her back, so for a while, she could feel the coldness near his heart, so once, she just slightly If he resisted, his true energy would be uncontrollable.
That time, it must have almost cost him his life.
But she doesn’t know.
She doesn’t know anything.
On the opposite side, Long Zhai looked at her indifferently and sarcastically, and said the simplest but most piercing words, “You don’t know anything.”
“You enjoy his protection, care and even sacrifice, but you don’t want to know his suffering.”
“Or you should know, but deep down you are afraid of taking on that kind of pressure and guilt. You turn a blind eye and close your eyes, and you would rather not know.”
“You, such a selfish woman, are worthy of his sacrifice? Are you qualified to stop him at this moment? What standpoint do you use to stop him? What have you done for him? What have you sacrificed?”
“You feel that you have been hurt by him, but in fact, he has been hurt a hundred times as much as you. Now, is it so difficult for you to sacrifice once?”
“you…”
“do not talk!”
Long Zhai sneered and shut up.
Jing Hengbo slowly put down Gong Yin’s sleeve, pressed his finger on the elbow, it was cold, familiar cold.
She didn’t even dare to touch the rest of his joints. She felt that maybe she was really guilty. She had had the closest relationship with him, but she still didn’t know what she should know the most.
Deep down in her heart, is she as selfish as Long Zhai accused?
If you don’t want to see, if you avoid seeing, you don’t have to bear it?
At this moment, I suddenly understand what it feels like to be in a state of turmoil, with thousands of entanglements entangled in my heart, and the apex of my heart seems to be hurting when I am strangled, and my head is bleeding a little, bright red like cherry blossoms.
This day I will see his white hair, and this day I will know him and be foolish.
The past is like flying through the heart, each and every one is also a fragment of the heart blocked in the limbs and bones, which cannot be pulled out or removed, waiting to be transformed with time and life.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that if fate does not allow her to be obsessed, perhaps persistence will only make the road narrower and narrower.
Thousands of cares and tenacity, and finally lost hope that he can live a life in her vision with black hair flying freely.
The room was dead silent, Long Zhai sneered endlessly.
She suddenly said: “For Gong Yin’s question, is there really no other way than the medicine cauldron?”
“Besides the medicine cauldron, there is no other way to make him recover completely! The medicine cauldron is the most effective way to help the Patriarch get rid of the blood legacy! The last time was the best time, because of your obstruction, his problem is serious, now Even if the medicine cauldron cannot be fully recovered, if it continues to delay, the medicine cauldron will fail. You defend your status and dignity, but lose your husband at that time, I will wait for you to cry!”
“What kind of medicine did you ask Chunshui to find just now?” Jing Hengbo asked again.
Long Zhai ignored her and turned to look for pen and ink. Where there is no pen and ink in this kind of place, he wrote some medicines on the ground with his sword.
Jing Hengbo watched from the side, Long Zhai squinted and sneered, “What are you looking at? Why do you have to put on such a hypocritical appearance? Who really believes that you care about him because you are a jealous woman who would rather die than save?”
Jing Hengbo stared at him for a long while, her eyes were still as bright as stars and as fierce as fire at this moment, making Long Zhai turn his head away uncomfortably.
Immediately afterwards he heard Jing Hengbo say indifferently: “Okay.”
Long Zhai suddenly turned his head, his old face was full of surprises, he stared at Jing Hengbo, but he couldn’t find the normal look that made him feel at ease on this face that still had a faint smile on it – Jing Hengbo was so reluctant before, why He did not hesitate to fight, but now that he agrees, he agrees, and there is no expression of embarrassment, entanglement and pain on his face, which really makes him feel uneasy.
He asked in surprise, “You…are you sincere?”
“Once I say a word, it’s hard to chase.” Jing Hengbo looked at the sky and said leisurely.
“You…you won’t get in the way again?”
“Although you are full of nonsense, one sentence is still correct. There is nothing more important than death. Nothing is more important than his life.”
Long Zhai didn’t think it was a pest, and said anxiously: “Then you go to persuade him?”
“You also know that you have to persuade me,” Jing Hengbo sneered, “You should understand that this matter is not only useful if I give up stopping it, will the head of your family agree?”
“Then you are still prevaricating?” Long Zhai suddenly changed his face, “If you are really good for him, you should find a way to make him accept it!”
“I don’t have a good way, or you have a way?”
“Either… you and him find an excuse to quarrel and break up?” Long Zhai asked tentatively after thinking for a long time.
Jing Hengbo chuckled.
Her smile was too mocking, Long Zhai stared at her with a rather embarrassed expression.
“You are so naive.” Jing Hengbo chuckled, “When Gong Yin and I are young couples pretending to be housewives, or mentally handicapped children with an IQ of less than 45? You brought Nan Jin here to treat him. At this time I broke up with him inexplicably, do you think he can’t see it? Gong Yin and I even had a life-and-death misunderstanding, and we are still together in the end, do you think we can break up after just arguing now? “
“Then what do you think it should be?” Long Zhai thought for a while and asked holding back his anger.
“Think for yourself!” Jing Hengbo flicked his sleeves and stared at him unkindly, “It’s fine to force me to give up the man, but you want me to advise on this matter, you are going too far!”
Long Zhai really wanted to go by himself, after thinking for a long time, he said: “You lend your makeup and clothes to Mingzhu…”
Jing Hengbo took a breath and stared at him unkindly.
It was probably the first time for the old man to do this kind of thing, and his face was quite embarrassed. He stammered for a long time, meaning that Jing Hengbo needed to cooperate. He had a way to make Gong Yin think that the pearl was Jing Hengbo.
Jing Hengbo stared at him for a long time, and seeing Long Zhai shift his gaze humbly, he said, “I will provide whatever you want, but you can also ask for the rest. I respect Gong Yin’s life, and I will give it to you.” I also respect his will, if I collude with other women to trick him into going to bed, he will not forgive me, and I will despise myself.”
“How can that be?” Long Zhai said embarrassingly, “It can only be that you are virtuous and know how to be grateful. How many good wives take the initiative to arrange concubines for your husband…”
“That’s someone else, not me. If Gong Yin wanted that kind of woman, he would have married and had children long ago. His choice, my choice, only we can understand each other, you don’t.”
“You promised to back down, but you didn’t help until the end…” Long Zhai became irritable.
“It’s the limit for me to give in. If I help this again, I will be the Holy Mother. I insult his feelings for me and my own feelings without principle.” Jing Hengbo threw a box of makeup over, “Find out what to do!”
Long Zhai picked it up, thought for a while, and made up his mind: “Then don’t regret halfway and make trouble, then there is really no hope…”
“I’m leaving right away to attend the Yimai Conference.”
“Okay, I’ll send the best son to protect you. It’s just a matter of time to see if there are any medicinal materials we need at the meeting.” Long Zhai asked about the Easy Selling Conference, let go of his worries, felt that he was much more confident, and said with a gratified expression, “So, we still want to thank you. The old man will thank you on behalf of Nan Jin. Don’t worry, she will respect you in the future and will never overstep your position. Thank you for being considerate of her years of waiting and sacrifice, and not letting her work hard. In vain…”
“I’m not caring for her, so you don’t have to accept this love.” Jing Hengbo interrupted him, turned around and walked to the window, “I admit that I was moved by Nan Jin’s waiting and sacrifice, and I also feel that she sacrificed so much but It’s a pity that I robbed the fruit, but I don’t think this is the reason why I should give up Gong Yin. Love is just a matter between two people. What he needs is me, and what I need is him. No matter how much others pay , It’s not what we want. When he didn’t accept it, I have no reason to accept it on his behalf.” She paused, looked back at Gong Yin, and said softly, “The only reason I give in is to hope that he will be good. Just live.”
I wish you a long life, I wish you a healthy life, I hope your hair turns gray and black, and I hope you can relieve this endless pain and torment.
Long Zhai was silent. Outside, Nan Jin kept looking up at the sky, with his pale face upturned, there seemed to be faint traces of water.
“As long as he has a wish to separate, I will never give him up, but if there is really only this way, I can only try it. There is no reason, just for him. Just, for him.” Jing Hengbo His voice lowered, he hugged the pile of clothes, stopped looking at those people, turned around and went out the door.
When he went out, he raised his head and let out a breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the depression of his heart to the cramped sky divided by the narrow alley at the moment.
I don’t want to, I just have to, there are too many things to do in this life.
I have always wanted to find a famous doctor to solve the problem for him, but I also understand in my heart that after years and years of repeated injuries, his body is empty and has reached the end. No matter how much medicine is given, it can barely support him. Temperament, why has he been paving the way for a dead end and a dead end? He is supporting her, supporting her beyond imagination, and performing extraordinary, but the more advances are made, the more ferocious the debt will be. What will happen in the days to come, she dare not think.
Sometimes she would rather see him lingering on the sick bed and take care of herself, than see him holding up well one moment, and falling down in front of her the next moment, so unprepared, thunderbolt from the blue sky, she doesn’t know how she will bear it then .
I have always understood in my heart that only the Longying family has in-depth research on their own diseases for many years, and after many years of preparation, the medicine cauldron stored must be the best prescription for treating Gongyin. However, this best choice needs to bury her happiness. Once there is a person between her and him, even if things are done urgently, in the heart of a woman like her who lives as a couple for life, there will always be an insurmountable gap. .
She procrastinated, hesitated, longed for a miracle, until today, hit by his gray hair and protruding knuckles.
Fate pushed her, pushed him toward others.
Nan Jin in the yard was still standing there blankly, Jing Hengbo lowered his eyes… If tonight, if he and Nan Jin really got together, she wouldn’t stay anymore, what kind of wives and concubines would live together. Let Nan Jin enjoy the fruits of waiting that she deserves.
She would like to spend the rest of her life peacefully and independently with her child, leaving him to walk in the world of mortals healthily.
Behind her, the children of the Long family were slowly gathering, preparing to accompany her to the Vientiane Easy Sale Conference tonight.
On the other side of the yard, Long Zhai confidently pulled Nan Jin into another room.
Jing Hengbo didn’t look back, but he seemed to be able to see and hear everything. The person is still in the same place, but he has already understood the feeling of farewell, and understood the mental journey when he wrote the book of abdication and self-exit in that year in Dige Xueye, that year in Yuzhao Palace.
In an instant, the world is gone.
She looked up, the blue sky was split by the slanted branches, and the sun gradually faded in the pale yellow twilight, like a faded old silk.
Her colorful and beautiful love is also a pile of silk brocades, hidden deep in her heart, slowly twitching, and the atrium is sharpened to blood.
She took a long breath, without looking back, and took a step.
“Let’s go.”
