walk to the water

Chu Xiang lowered his head, sighed lowly, and after a long time said word by word: "People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? Although Xiang is stubborn, he can't repay His Majesty's affection in case, but Xiang will spend his whole life. I just admire Your Majesty. If he leaves, I will be left alone in this world. Every day I live, the pain in my heart will be thousands of times stronger than the torture of Ling Chi, but I hate that I can no longer break my oath. Immediately follow him. Since my mother is willing to help, no matter what you do, Xiang will be happy." Speaking of this, Chu Xiang suddenly covered his chest with his hands, as if his heart was being pricked by thousands of needles, and the pain made his forehead sweat as big as soybeans The beads rolled down, and the body trembled.

The queen was stunned for a while, and said: "General Chu, you should not call him Your Majesty anymore, you should call him the First Emperor." Seeing that Chu Xiang's complexion turned whiter than the clothes on his body, she sighed, "Since the general told me To tell you the truth, I won't hide it anymore, before the late emperor set out to fight, he once told me..."

"What did Your Majesty say?" Chu Xiang raised his head and opened his eyes wide.

The queen said softly: "The former emperor once joked about what happened behind him, and said that if there was an emergency, he wanted my mother and son to treat you well. Although he didn't make a will, but we have been married for decades, he can ignore my orphan. Widowed mother, I have only loved him in this life, and I can't go against his will... It's just that these years, I saw that the former emperor favored the general, but the general didn't seem to care, watching him haggard day by day, I can't help being angry, but I'm not jealous. After I sent the late emperor to be buried, I was furious for a moment, and today I'm going to test him with death. I want to see how much friendship the general has for the late emperor? The general's affection is as deep as this. Watch the first episode of the Chinese website along the way I am also touched by you, what the former emperor said just now, if the emperor knows it, he will be very pleased to hear it." Chu Xiang's eyes were dull, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.He murmured: "I failed him. I didn't say anything when he was here. What's the use of saying more when he's gone? After all, he won't allow me to die, won't allow me to die... This is his So cruel!" A mouthful of blood poured out, Chu Xiang quickly covered his mouth, but the bright red dripped down his chest along the corner of his mouth, staining the snow-white skirt red.From what the queen said, it turned out that Fu Ling had expected everything and arranged everything, but he broke his heart, so he just left and never looked back.There is not even a single bit of nostalgia... Chu Xiang seems to have stepped into the air, and his whole body has fallen straight into the bottomless abyss, with nothing to rely on.And the blood in one cavity has also condensed into ice, which is bone-piercingly cold...

Suddenly the queen asked: "What is the general's future plan?"

Chu Xiang seemed to be awakened.In a trance, I remembered that Fu Ling had asked this question many years ago.Future plans?There are no more history books to write, no more Yellow River to govern.I originally planned to stay by his side when he came back, and spend the rest of the years peacefully... Now... Chu Xiang replied blankly: "I only wish to stay by His Majesty's side, and I implore your mother to allow Xu Xiang to serve His Majesty." Wake up."

Chu Xiang knelt quietly in front of the Tai Mausoleum, from dawn to dusk, neither crying nor moving, everything in the world has disappeared, only this huge mausoleum.This is the most magnificent mausoleum that Chu Xiang has seen, surpassing any emperor's mausoleum in the past and present, like a majestic mountain, almost reaching the sky.In front of the mausoleum is a tall monument without characters, and Chu Xiang knew that this was what he wanted.Words cannot describe his great achievements, but how can the grand mausoleum bury his soul that is proud of the world?

The sky was getting dark gradually, Chu Xiang's body was submerged in the huge shadow of the Tailing Mausoleum, and the breeze blew by, as if someone behind him sighed deeply, calling himself softly: "Xiang'er!" "Your Majesty!" Chu Xiang suddenly turned his head, behind him There was no one there, only the rustling wind in the forest, Chu Xiang slowly lowered his head, his face was already full of tears, this was the first time he shed tears in so many days since he learned of Fu Ling's death.It turns out that the saddest thing in the world is not to cry bitterly, but to not shed a tear even though the pain is extreme.Once I cried today, it was unstoppable...Chu Xiang covered his face with his hands, suppressing his crying, as if a knife was stirring in his heart, the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe... After a long time, Chu Xiang looked up at the sky in the sky. There is a bright moon, and the moon sheds a gentle silver light, just like that person's affectionate eyes.Chu Xiang hissed: "You promised me that you would come back, why did you lie to me? Why! You said that no matter what happens, you will be by my side, have you forgotten?"

Chu Xiang carefully untied the dragon and phoenix jade lock tied around his neck, the corner that was broken by Fu Ling couldn't be repaired no matter what.Putting the jade lock in his palm, Chu Xiang gently kissed it with his lips, "Why don't you take it? It can keep you safe! You did it on purpose, on purpose! Your Majesty, even if I made a thousand mistakes, You can't leave me alone, live alone in this world, and endure the remaining decades of torture! You are too cruel! I have nothing but you, I have nothing, you can bear it...I hate You! I--hate--you!" Chu Xiang screamed hoarsely, and the cry spread far away, and finally turned into a mournful cry in the night wind.The majestic Tailing was dead silent, and no one answered him.

The guards guarding the mausoleum heard the call and rushed over, only to find that Chu Xiang had fainted in front of the mausoleum.The guards quickly helped him into the house, and when he woke up the next morning, he went to guard the mausoleum again.Day after day, Chu Xiang found that he could see nothing but this mausoleum in his eyes, and in his heart... I remember that Fu Ling once asked him what was in his heart, and his answer at that time was how many? Graves, but now, those graves have been swallowed by this huge mausoleum, slowly but firmly oppressing my heart until it is crushed into powder... Thinking of my parents, brothers and friends, I feel deeply guilty and dull. Dull pain, but Fu Ling, there is no need to think about it, every breath is a surging pain, so is this love?Finally, I can't be restrained by responsibility and reason; it turns out that my heart is too small, but this mausoleum is too big...

Chu Xiang lost weight quickly, and he didn't say a word all day long. From the perspective of others, he was even a little demented.During the period, Di Feng came to visit his junior brother twice, but Chu Xiang didn't want him to accompany him, only saying that he wanted to be alone with Fu Ling.Knowing that he was always stubborn, Di Feng tried to persuade him a few times, but to no avail, so he had no choice but to let him go.

When summer was about to pass, he no longer guarded in front of the mausoleum during the day, but stood outside the west city gate, looking into the distance from morning to night like a log, and at night he lay in front of the mausoleum with his clothes on, day and night. So, rain or shine.When asked what he was doing, he only said, "I'll wait for His Majesty to come back, he promised me."
