Chapter 24
Duan Xiuran didn't seem to hear it, and walked lightly into the room. Through layers of curtains, he could see her sleeping profile.She is so quiet and gentle, like a precious jade engraved in time, exuding a soft luster.
However, when she woke up and asked him about his injuries with blinking eyes, he didn't know how to answer, should he say "You will never stand up again" bluntly, or tell her hypocritically "Yaoer, From now on, I will be your legs"?
It is useless to do anything.He kept telling himself not to owe others. Compared with material repayment, emotional burden is the most overwhelming.
The only concubine of Dari Kingdom held in the palm of the king's palm, the object of envy of all the ladies, the girl who has been outstanding in everything since she was a child, but from now on, she will never be able to ride a horse and show off her whip and be high-spirited.
Duan Xiuran never thought that that day at the racecourse would be the last time in her life.
The more beautiful the firework is, the more mediocre it will look after falling, and who can accept such an ordinary self after seeing the most gorgeous appearance?
He closed the door silently, looked at the people outside and said: "The princess's ankle is injured, and it needs to be taken care of to recover. I will send someone to bring the wheelchair here tomorrow, Yuqiao. Don't let the princess walk around, so as not to hurt her." Aggravate the injury."
Yuqiao was named, so he hurried forward and said: "Yes."
Duan Xiuran's face remained expressionless as usual. When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped. He turned his head slightly and said, "If I know who is talking nonsense in front of the princess, I will pull out his hand." Tongue."
These words sound plain, but they are very frightening. Duan Xiuran will never lie, he is serious.
In the early morning of the second day, a servant sent a wheelchair, which was made of high-quality golden nanmu. The axles were made of special craftsmanship, not only did not make much noise, but it was also wear-resistant. The whole wheelchair did not look bulky and convenient. Well, it's even lighter.
As soon as Lingyao woke up, Yuqiao pushed the wheelchair and walked in, with a slight smile on her face: "Princess, you are awake!"
"You are..."
"The imperial doctor said that you injured your ankle and you need to recuperate for a period of time. You must not use your ankle any more these days, so my son prepared this for you." Yuqiao put the wheelchair beside the bed, helped Lingyao up and said, "Princess But you don’t even have to go on the road, you can have someone to help you wherever you go, how nice it is!”
But Lingyao felt that this matter was very strange, and called Erqi in her mind, but Erqi refused to reveal the plot anymore, and just said "I want to know the plot again, the price is still a fixed price, 20 taels of silver, does the host have any", and it succeeded Let Lingyao retreat.
I have already owed the bill, and I can’t owe it any more. What if I can’t pay it back?
"Well, help me to have breakfast." Lingyao said, since the matter is so strange, let her find out the clues by herself.
The strange thing today is that Duan Xiuran didn't go to the morning court. The wedding leave had already passed, but he actually asked Ruidi for leave, saying that he expected to work in the mansion these days and would not go to the morning court again.
Abnormal, so abnormal.Lingyao thought, Duan Xiuran is the one who enters the palace on the second day of marriage without saying anything, so can he not put his career first?What could be more important in the house than official duties?
Suddenly, Lingyao discovered the problem - Wu Bingning was not there!
That day she designed to show Wu Bingning's feet, logically Duan Xiuran should have known that her leg problems were fake.The reason why Yuqiao asked Wu Bingning to tell Wu Bingning that she would go to Jinyu Pavilion that day was to prevent Wu Bingning from playing tricks on her at Hongrui Restaurant and disrupting her plan - after all, Wu Bingning "knew" and wanted to get things for free at Jinyu Pavilion. Rely on her as a princess.
Duan Xiuran probably didn't know that she arranged for the person who broke into the restaurant that day. Thinking of this, Lingyao pretended to ask casually: "Why don't you see Miss Biao?"
No one spoke, and Sun's hand stopped, but Duan Xiuran looked normal, and just said: "Bing Ning made a mistake, reflect on it in Bingyu Tower."
"Oh." Lingyao pretended not to be curious anymore, and continued to eat.
As usual, after finishing the meal, they should be busy with their own business, but Duan Xiuran stopped her: "I wonder if Yao'er can go to the street with me?"
Lingyao didn't know what he wanted to do, but if she wanted to find out, she could only nod her head in agreement.
Duan Xiuran pushed her wheelchair and walked ahead, while Yuqiao followed behind with a group of servant girls.Lingyao watched the dazzling array of goods passing by her one by one, and never saw Duan Xiuran stop, so she really couldn't figure out what he was thinking—what?Didn't he bring her to the street to buy things?
After many turns, Duan Xiuran finally stopped in a remote alley. He walked forward and gently knocked on the door of a house.Soon there was the sound of footsteps running to open the door. Listening to the sound, it was alive and kicking, and the sound of landing was not heavy. It was not an adult, but a child.
Sure enough, a child with two braids opened the door. His face was a little thin. Although he could vaguely see some baby fat that only children have, it was hard to hide the emaciation caused by hunger.When he saw Duan Xiuran, he smiled happily, and shouted into the room: "Father, Master Duan is here!"
There was a reply from the room, but no one came out to greet her for a long time, Duan Xiuran was not annoyed by the other party's negligence, but pushed Ling Yao in.
"My lord, who is the beautiful sister?" The child looked at Lingyao and asked curiously.
Duan Xiuran answered patiently: "My wife."
"It's so beautiful! But...is your wife the same as my father?"
Duan Xiuran didn't answer this time, he just said: "Little Afu, go find the brother behind me and bring you something delicious."
"Really!" The child named Xiao Afu became very happy all of a sudden, and jumped up and down.
Lingyao didn't speak from the beginning to the end, she really didn't understand what Duan Xiuran wanted to do.
The room was relatively simple, with only some necessary furniture, and the paint was peeling off to varying degrees. A man was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt from the waist down.
"Master Duan is here... Who is this?" The man's voice was hoarse, but he was a little happy to see her and Duan Xiuran.
"This is my wife." Duan Xiuran didn't think it was dirty, and sat down casually, but the man said in panic, "My lord, how can you sit down!"
"It's okay." Duan Xiuran held down the man who was about to get up, "I'll come and see you——where's Little Ah Fu?"
"I'm selling vegetables. In the morning, the vegetables are the freshest and can be sold at a good price." The man said with a smile.
"How's the leg?" Duan Xiuran asked suddenly, and Ling Yao also pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
"It's still the same, but it's no longer painful on cloudy and rainy days. Your lord always helps us people. We... are grateful!"
Just as he was talking, a hearty female voice came from the yard: "Father, guess how much I sold today?!"
Then Xu Shi saw the people in the yard, so he lowered his voice and asked, "But Master Duan is here?"
Yuqiao nodded: "The prince and concubine are in the room."
"Then I have to buy a piece of meat!" The woman said and was about to go out. The man in the room smiled, opened the window and said, "Don't go! Why do adults eat these clear soups with little water in our house!"
"Tell Yuqiao and the others to follow. Is it convenient for us to have a light meal here at noon today?" Duan Xiuran said in a calm tone, but it didn't sound so alienated.
The man was surprised, but more happy, and shouted outside: "Damn it, buy more!"
It was during lunch that Lingyao found out that the man's legs were thin and dark. Out of politeness, she didn't ask any further questions, she only knew that he couldn't stand up.
Lunch was a simple meal of brown rice, some meat in radish soup, and a big fish.This is the simplest meal that Lingyao has ever had in this world—a cup of almond tea for her at night is worth more than these, but Duan Xiuran doesn't dislike it at all, and she doesn't find it bad, she just thinks that ordinary people Too poor.
What's even more rare is that although the man was unable to walk, he didn't seem to think it was a big deal at all. He was still smiling happily, because of his wife and children, because of Duan Xiuran's visit, and because of some fun and interesting little things, besides being unable to walk legs, and everything else is no different from normal people.
After finishing the meal, Duan Xiuran pushed her back, and said as he walked, "Lao Li was originally from the Ministry of War, but because of going out for an expedition, the enemy poisoned him and made his legs disabled."
"It's like this for the country. I see that Brother Li is not sad, and he is probably proud." Ling Yao said.
"How could it not be uncomfortable!" Duan Xiuran said, "A seven-foot-tall man, who is in his prime, was forced to leave the army and go home. If it wasn't for the little Fu mother and son, he might have died several times."
"Little Afu's family is all supported by his mother, but even so, for the little Afu mother and son, even if the father can't walk, it is a 'drag', they still want Lao Li to live."
Duan Xiuran said: "Yao'er, it's impossible to be alone in this world. If you are really alone, then your life belongs to you completely, but once you have feelings, you have many loves with you." For those who are related, your life is also their life, do you know?"
Lingyao chuckled: "How can I say that I really want to commit suicide? As the saying goes, it's better to live than to die. There are still so many scenery in this world that I haven't seen, so many delicacies that I haven't eaten, and many Many interesting things are waiting for me to experience, and I will also be an indispensable protagonist in a certain story, how can I exit by myself?"
The stage of life is only so big, and the spotlight that shines on you is only for a moment. Once you choose to end it yourself, there is no room for you to be on the stage again.
Duan Xiuran seemed to be smiling, and the steps behind her were a little brisk, but Lingyao quietly lowered her eyebrows, her toes fell in sight, she was a little sad - if she guessed correctly, her legs were afraid It is obsolete.
