A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"Li, General Li!"

Shimi's voice trembled and suddenly sounded like crying. She staggered to General Li's side and took his hand.

"Old lady, old lady, she..."

When Li Mu saw Shimi's face turned pale and his whole body was shaking, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and he quickly ran to his mother's bedside.

"Mother!"

He shouted and took the old lady's hand, only to find that the hand had lost its warmth.

"Mother! Mother!"

As Li Mu gave a heart-rending cry, the Li Mansion became "lively" again!

I thought that the old lady had gradually recovered, but I didn't expect that she passed away like this in her sleep... Everything was unexpected by everyone, so much so that Li Mu couldn't even react to the sadness. She smiled so happily during the conversation with her mother tonight. , her voice was loud, her thinking was still clear, she was talking to herself, and she didn't look like she was going back!

Shiya stood in front of the bed where the old lady returned, looking at Li Mu who was sitting blankly beside him, tears streaming down his face.

This was Shimiya, who had tasted the feeling of life and death for the first time in the Warring States Period. It was so unforgettable and unforgettable. She couldn't help but feel sad when she looked at the old lady who was smiling a few hours ago and now turned into a cold corpse. She thought about it, how could it be that she and her family in modern society were separated by life and death? !

As long as they think of themselves disappearing forever and never being able to see their family again, to them, isn't it as if they are dead? I... actually let them taste this heartbreaking feeling! !

She stood aside silently, weeping silently, and the servants in the room were sobbing softly. The doctor who was hurriedly called over asked her carefully again, and then walked to Li Mu and said

"Back to General Li, the old lady's cold was not fatal. The old lady died at the end of her life...she died in her sleep."

Life and death are just moments that separate people from each other. We will never see each other again, and we will never meet again in this life.

The old lady's funeral was held when it was snowing heavily in Handan.

Shimi was dressed in white clothes and holding an oil umbrella at an angle. Accompanied by Yan Dan, he came to see the old lady off on her last journey.

She saw Li Mu kneeling in front of the mourning hall, saluting the guests who came to pay their respects. She saw that his face was haggard, but he did not look as high-spirited as usual.

Nowadays, the Li Mansion is covered with white elegiac couplets from top to bottom. From the master to the slaves, everyone has a sad face, which is even more desolate in this snowy day.

"Condolences..."

Yan Dan and Shimi finished offering incense to the old lady and saluted Li Mu who was kneeling beside him. Li Mu had no expression, as if he hadn't woken up from the shock of his mother's sudden departure. He didn't cry, but his eyes were blue, so there was no need to guess. You know, he hasn't slept for several nights.

Shiya's eyes were filled with tears from the moment she walked into Li's house. She never expected that the time she spent with the old lady would only be less than two months. She originally thought it could be longer, and she originally thought about the beginning of spring. Go for an outing, go to the stream in the summer, enjoy the maples in the autumn, and then when the snow falls, the two of them go to the teahouse, order a pot of hot tea, and sit comfortably in the teahouse, looking at the street. It was crowded.

I thought... there would be many seasons to accompany me.

Seeing that Shimi's eyes were a little red and swollen, Li Mu knew that she was sad. Even though he was so heartbroken that he couldn't speak, he still comforted her.

"In my mother's last days, having you by my side was the greatest happiness. My mother once said that she had no regrets in her life. She felt very happy..."

The word happiness contains many meanings. If a person can recall only the happy past when she is dying, then she is happy.

Among the guests who came to pay their respects today were of course Prince Zhao Yan and Zhao. He was entrusted by the monarch to go there in person. This also shows that the monarch attaches great importance to the Li family!

Although Zhao Yan is smooth-tongued and bold, he is also a man who knows the situation clearly. Today he was particularly surprised when he saw Shimi wearing mourning clothes. His eyes were frowning, adding an air of melancholy. It's heart-warming to watch.

Zhao Yan suppressed his passion and first expressed his condolences to Li Mu, then accepted the salutes from the guests present. Seeing her eyes looking for Shimi hurriedly, and seeing her walking to the backyard alone, he took advantage of Li Mu's heartache and had no time to care about him. At that time, he hurriedly followed.

Nowadays, the backyard is covered with a thick layer of white snow, and the pines and cypresses look even more vigorous and green when the snow falls. It would be great if people could possess such powerful vitality, so that they would not be so fragile and vulnerable.

Just when Shimi was staring at the lake in a daze, there was a burst of laughter.

"Miss Shikiya, long time no see!"

Seeing Zhao Yan trotting over, Shimi quickly wiped away his tears and regained his usual look of being repulsive to people thousands of miles away.

"Prince...you are here today too."

She saluted Zhao Yan, who was even more elated when he saw her. Just as he was about to help him with his hands, Shimi quickly stepped aside and said lightly

"I'm not in a good mood today. Prince, if you don't want Shimi to bump into you, please respect yourself."

"Okay, okay...respect yourself, I know self-respect!"

Zhao Yan smiled playfully, showing a rare shyness. He stuttered and asked again.

"Why are you here? When did you become so familiar with General Li?"

"Just a few months ago, I was entrusted by General Li to take care of the old lady...so we are familiar with her."

Shimiya didn't want to talk to him much, so he just said a few casual words.

"You, serve his mother?"

Zhao Yan was stunned, why did Li Mu never mention it to me? Is it possible...

"you……"

Zhao Yan was anxious and asked hurriedly

"Could it be that under the guise of taking care of the old lady, you actually became General Li's concubine?"

When Shikiya heard this, she didn't know what the brain circuitry of this stupid prince in front of her was. It really made her feel angry and funny at the same time!

"I just use money to take care of the old lady! It's like a servant he hired! What a concubine! If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame the scene like today, I will be rude to you!"

Shikiya flicked his sleeves and said angrily

"I quit!"

She squeezed Zhao Yan, passed in front of him, and hurriedly left this place of right and wrong!

When Yan Dan came to look for her, she happened to run into Zhao Yan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, in the courtyard.

Zhao Yan had already heard that Yan Dan wanted to return to his hometown, so he was depressed and shrunk at home all day long. When he saw him now, although he still looked as gentle and gentle as before, his eyes had changed a lot, and he no longer had the hopeful feeling before. Instead, he was melancholy.

"Yan Dan, have you been having a hard time lately?"

Yan Dan was very helpless when he asked Zhao Yan for help.

"Thanks to the crown prince, it makes sense."
