please come back

"Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"

At noon two days later, the sun was shining brightly.At noon Wu Xun was a little confused, rubbing his forehead, when he heard a clear voice, looked up, and saw Jiang Linyuan was already sitting opposite him.

Wu Xun patted his forehead and said lazily, "Master, are you still walking without sound?"

Jiang Linyuan stretched out his sleeves and smiled in front of Wu Xun.

Wu Xun glanced at Jiang Linyuan's wrist, stretched out his fingers to feel it, and frowned to feel his pulse.

"My lord..." After a long time, Wu Xun stopped and asked Jiang Linyuan, "Chest tightness, lethargy, have you ever had these symptoms?"

Jiang Linyuan nodded.

"The young master... some illnesses...may be very serious..." Wu Xun said with his head down. Although he is a doctor and has seen too many injuries and deaths, every time he announces this matter, he feels Just like how big a mistake I made.

Wu Xun lowered his head for a moment, didn't hear the other's reaction, felt strange and raised his head, but saw Jiang Linyuan looking at him calmly, and said, "I know."

Jiang Linyuan felt uncomfortable as early as a month ago. He wanted to tell Xia Heyu, but now that he thinks about it, he is glad that he didn't say it.

"I'm here today just to ask what kind of disease I have, what kind of symptoms I have in the later stage, and...how long will I have to live." Jiang Linyuan said.

Wu Xun let out a sigh of relief through his nose, poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea to Jiang Linyuan, and said, "Young master's illness, in my opinion, is caused by overwork and stagnation that causes qi and blood to flow backwards, hurting internal organs. And I guess, young master has also suffered a lot." Trauma also accelerated the spread of the disease."

Jiang Linyuan nodded lightly, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous. He has never been a free and easy person. He has suffered, calculated schemes, and plotted schemes, all of which are weighed on his heart. It hurt.

Jiang Linyuan smiled wryly, and asked, "What else?"

Wu Xun poured himself a cup of tea, and said: "Chest tightness and weakness, lethargy all day long are only the symptoms of the early stage of the disease. In the later stage, people will lose weight rapidly, cough up blood or even vomit blood, and finally wither... wither and die."

"Yeah." Jiang Linyuan nodded his head persistently, with a calm expression on his face, "The end? How much time is left?"

Wu Xun cleared his throat, "No more... no more than three months."

Jiang Linyuan already knew it in his heart, but after hearing Wu Xun say this, he couldn't help but go blank.In three months, he might not survive this year.

Jiang Linyuan drank the tea in his hand. The chrysanthemum tea was sweet and had the bitterness of chrysanthemums. It was really suitable for fighting off fire in autumn.

"Shopkeeper Wu, thank you very much." Jiang Linyuan put down the teacup, got up and was about to leave.

"Young Master, wait a minute." Seeing this, Wu Xun hurriedly stopped him, "Don't you want to cure this disease, Young Master? It would be good to delay it for a day or two."

Jiang Linyuan squinted at Wu Xun who was standing against the light, and asked, "Shopkeeper Wu, my illness is incurable, right?"

"That...that's true." Wu Xun said, "But after all, it can be delayed."

"No need." Jiang Linyuan said, stuffed some consultation fees into Wu Xun's hand, and stepped out of Wu's pharmacy.

"My lord!" Wu Xun called Jiang Linyuan at the door of the pharmacy holding the money, "You gave too much money. Your surname is your lord. When I can leave, I can send the money back to your house."

Jiang Linyuan didn't look back, but just walked forward, as if deaf, until he walked into the palace and bumped into Xia Heyu.

"What are you thinking so absent-mindedly?" Xia Heyu patted Jiang Linyuan's forehead and asked.

Jiang Linyuan wrinkled his nose and rubbed his forehead, and said, "If I shoot again, I'll be stupid. If I'm stupid, why don't you serve me?"

Xia Heyu smiled, took Jiang Linyuan's hand, and clasped his fingers together naturally, and said, "You can still be stupid? I don't believe it, let's go, I'll show you something good."

"What's wrong with you again?" Jiang Linyuan asked, his palms were warm and comfortable.

"You think of me, Young Master Jiang." Xia Heyu shook his head and said, "I promise you like it, okay?"

Jiang Linyuan pouted, he didn't have much hope anyway, he just followed Xia Heyu.In the end, Xia Heyu just took him into their room, pushed him on the chair, smiled mysteriously, and clapped his hands towards the door.

Next, Jiang Linyuan saw a bunch of servants pouring into the house, followed by a strong smell of fish, and after a while, Jiang Linyuan was filled with dishes, each with fish in it, all kinds of dishes. All kinds of fish, steamed, braised, and even raw.

Jiang Linyuan couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and he really didn't want to smell the fishy smell, so he got under the table when Xia Heyu was chasing people out.

Xia Heyu turned around and found that Jiang Linyuan was gone. After searching in the room for a long time, he found Jiang Linyuan under the table.Seeing Jiang Linyuan's cat under the table, Xia Heyu wanted to bully him, so he slipped in and clung to Jiang Linyuan's body.

"Are you kidding me? I asked the chef to make this pile, don't you like it?" Xia Heyu asked with his head tilted.

Jiang Linyuan rubbed his temples, and said helplessly, "Why do you make so many fish?"

Xia Heyu lifted up his robe and sat on the ground, frowning: "I always feel that you have lost a lot of weight in the past two days. I wanted to cook more meat for you, but I was afraid that you would get angry like me, so I wanted to Let me get you some fish to nourish your body, I remember you love to eat fish."

Jiang Linyuan smiled with his head down, his nose was a little sore, he put a sticker on Xia Heyu's body, and told him about the fish and the cat.

After hearing this, Xia Heyu smiled embarrassedly, and suddenly remembered the days before, and for some reason, a tinge of distress passed over him.

It was quite crowded under the table, and the ground was a bit cold, but the two cats inside didn't want to move. Xia Heyu hugged Jiang Linyuan in his arms, without saying a word, just hugged like that, with a trace of satisfaction on his face. laugh.

Jiang Linyuan was a little sleepy again, leaning his head heavily on Xia Heyu's chest, tugging on Xia Heyu's sleeve corners on both sides, quietly listening to Xia Heyu's heartbeat, beating again and again, full of vitality.Jiang Linyuan raised his sore arms, wrapped them around Xia Heyu's waist, and hugged them tightly, but at that moment, he decided to leave.

Jiang Linyuan originally thought that he would wait until his illness was almost unbearable before leaving, but in Xia Heyu's embrace, he gradually couldn't bear it anymore. He greedily wanted Xia Heyu to accompany him through every moment, but Xia Heyu's heartbeat stopped him He regained his sanity, he was afraid that if he stayed with Xia Heyu any longer, his sanity would disappear again, and if the night was long, there would be more dreams, and he should wake up from this dream.

That night, Jiang Linyuan resisted the drowsiness and did not sleep, so he quietly looked at the person next to him by the moonlight outside the window all night.At dawn, Jiang Linyuan kissed Xia Heyu's face lightly with his lips, then put his arms around his neck, and closed his eyes for a while.

In the morning, Xia Heyu was going to court as usual, and Jiang Linyuan was dozing off. He could hear Xia Heyu's sound of getting up carefully and the sound of cloth rubbing against each other, and he could also feel Xia Heyu's kiss on his forehead, which was cool and a little wet.Then there was the sound of the door being pushed and shut.

Jiang Linyuan didn't want to admit it, he could no longer see Xia Heyu pushing the door to come in, approaching him holding his hand and smiling, he had the urge to rush out to Xia Heyu, but was suppressed by the sudden tightness in his chest.

Jiang Linyuan opened his eyes, the room was empty, it was a bit scary, he put on a piece of clothing and sat down beside the desk, studying ink and writing, he wanted to leave a farewell letter to Xia Heyu, he wanted to tell Xia Heyu to comfort the people and food officials Scholars, don’t pay taxes, but after thinking about it, Xia Heyu is very clear about these things. He can be called a generation of wise kings, so there is no need for him to say more.

Jiang Linyuan also wanted to tell Xia Heyu to take good care of his body, not to be too tired, and to pay attention to the rules of diet, and enough is enough.But Jiang Linyuan thought about it, but didn't put pen to paper. Xia Heyu had been doing this all these years.Xia Heyu was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, and he was well-read and sensible, so he naturally knew how to behave. Jiang Linyuan probably didn't need to say this.

At this moment, Jiang Linyuan was obsessed with ink and pen, but he only wanted to leave a sentence. He wanted Xia Heyu to forget him as agreed and live a good life, but he knew deeply that this was impossible.Jiang Linyuan bit his lip, threw away the ink pen, and leaned on the chair in a daze.

The door of the room was open, and there were a few fallen leaves rolling on the stone steps outside the room. Jiang Linyuan leaned on the back of the chair and thought about what would happen to Xia Heyu without him from the beginning.Maybe he will marry the emperor's younger sister, maybe spend his entire life in the cracks between the emperor and Li Su, maybe have a pair of children, and when he gets old, he will have no worries about food and clothing and enjoy family happiness.

Jiang Linyuan laughed as he thought about it. He sketched in his mind Xia Heyu's gray hair, wrinkled face and missing teeth. Jiang Linyuan would definitely say that he disliked this face, but he would definitely hold on to it, like Like a baby.

The autumn wind passed by again, and the house was completely empty, not even a single person.

After Xia Heyu came back, he didn't see Jiang Linyuan in the room, nor did he look under the table. He just saw an envelope on the table. When he opened it, a white paper fell out.

At this time, Jiang Linyuan was walking in the street, so he found a teahouse to sit down and ordered a bowl of tea. He was going to leave the capital after drinking the last bowl of tea. He thought, it doesn't matter where he goes, without Xia Heyu by his side, he doesn't care anymore.

The tea water is a little cloudy, but the tea fragrance is quite strong.Opposite the teahouse is a storytelling stand, and the storyteller is a young man in high spirits.

Young, there are always too many possibilities, but he is about to bid farewell to this world.

Jiang Linyuan lowered his head and smiled, the world was full of things, after all, it was just a reincarnation, he poured the last sip of tea, got up and disappeared into the bustling crowd, among thousands of sentient beings, he was never found again.

It was only later that people discovered that the emperor had become very gloomy. During these years, he hardly smiled anymore. He kept a cold face every day, and regularly reviewed memorials, ate, and slept, and no one wanted to talk to him.

However, it is rumored that according to the historian in the palace, the emperor once gave him a biography to be included in the annals of history. I can't tell the difference anymore.

The petty official took this letter tremblingly to plead guilty to the emperor, but the emperor just took the ink-stained paper, looked at it for a long time, and finally waved his hand and said: "That's all."

This matter has become an unsolved case in the palace. No one can tell who the biography written by the emperor himself was written to, and no one can write down the entire content of the biography. People only remember There are four words at the end of the message: missing.

Three years later, in early spring, the emperor suddenly wanted to go out for a stroll on a whim, so he changed into some ordinary clothes, and Guo Hong was only allowed to follow him, leaving the palace gate that he hadn't stepped out for many years.

The capital is as lively as ever, with people coming and going in the streets and alleys, creating a harmonious scene.Xia Heyu walked slowly, carefully looking at every scene on the street. Compared with a few years ago, some places have changed, while others remain the same.

In the noisy street, Xia Heyu's heart was very quiet. He had never been so peaceful in many years.

It's just that at a certain moment, he felt that the person he passed by was very much like Jiang Linyuan.
