King’s Landing: The Proud Empress - Chapter 568
Chapter 568 [Extra Story] Zhang Limo Chapter 2
Liu Se went out and didn’t come back for a long time.
Zhang Limo unconsciously lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, what he saw was Liu Se who was sleeping next to him.
Zhang Limo’s mind instantly cleared up. After looking at himself, he was slightly relieved when he found that it was still the white underwear he wore last night.
And his actions directly awakened Liu Se.
Sitting up, looking at Zhang Limo who had woken up beside him, Liu Se smiled and said, “Are you awake?”
Hearing this, Zhang Limo turned slightly pale, “Why are you on the bed?”
Liu Se was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “I came back after washing last night and found you asleep, so I didn’t wake you up.”
After finishing speaking, seeing Zhang Limo’s complexion, Liu Se said cautiously, “What’s wrong?”
Seeing that Zhang Li Mo did not speak, Liu Se’s eyes darkened slightly. Then he got up and said softly to him, “I’ll cook, you should sleep for a while.”
Zhang Limo ignored her, and finally Liu Se gave him a worried look, and went out to cook.
Soon, Liu Se came in with two big bowls of millet porridge, a bowl of shallot mixed with tofu, and a bowl of bacon.
Placing one of the large bowls of millet porridge in front of Zhang Limo, Liu Se looked a little embarrassed, “I have no skills, so I can only give you these. But don’t worry, I will earn money to support my family in the future.”
Smelling the aroma of millet porridge, Zhang Limo felt that he was really hungry.
Standing up, just as she was about to comb her hair, Liu Se hurried over. Pick up the wooden comb and comb his long black hair.
Zhang Limo was stunned for a moment, watching her quickly but carefully pull up his hair with a silver hairpin, his heart couldn’t help but beat slightly.
After pulling her hair, before Zhang Limo could speak, Liu Se quickly brought a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Limo, “I know that you rich families have the habit of rinsing your mouth, but tea is not good, you… use it first , I’ll go to the market to buy some good tea for you later.”
Hearing this, Zhang Limo glanced at the room, shook his head and said, “No need, these teas are the best.” He took a sip, sipped it in his mouth, and then spat it out.
During the meal, Liu Se kept putting the bacon in his bowl, with a soft and honest voice, “Eat more, I will make you fat.”
Baibai fat? Isn’t that a pig!
Although he thought so, Zhang Limo didn’t speak out.
After eating, Zhang Limo looked at her busy figure and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but every time without waiting for him to speak, Liu Se said, “Just sit there.”
Looking at her figure who has been busy for an hour, Zhang Limo suddenly felt that he was a freelancer.
After packing up everything at home, Liu Se went out.
It is said that he went to the market.
Before leaving, Liu Se prepared the lunch for him.
It wasn’t until evening that he saw Liu Se come back with a big bag of things.
Liu Se did not buy many things, but there were also many.
There are men’s clothes, shoes, and two silver hairpins. Finally, there is a bag of tea.
Seeing this, Zhang Limo suddenly felt bad.
In the evening, after Liu Se finished cooking, he fried half a catty of pork bought from the butcher in the village.
Half a catty of pork went into Zhang Limo’s bowl.
Zhang Limo didn’t feel anything about this. After all, pork is nothing to him.
But later he learned that the people in this village are very poor. I can’t eat a piece of meat for a year, that is, I am willing to buy a catty of meat during the Chinese New Year, and the whole family eats it together.
After dinner, Liuser prepared bath water for him as usual, and then went outside to wait.
It may be that Liu Se is a good person, so Zhang Limo took a quick bath this time, and Liu Se also quickly came in to carry the bathtub out.
After a while, Liu Se walked in wearing a coat, it seemed that he had just taken a shower.
He took out a quilt from the side cabinet and spread it on the floor.
Seeing this, Zhang Limo couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing?”
Hearing this, Liu Se’s voice was muffled, “I’ll just sleep on the floor, the bed is small, I’m afraid I’ll squeeze you in.”
Zhang Limo looked at the bed. Although it was not big, she felt that she would not squeeze him when she slept on it!
Thinking of what he said in the morning, Zhang Limo became silent.
Seeing her curled up on the ground and falling asleep, Zhang Limo wanted to call her a few times, but in the end he held back.
The next day, before dawn, Liu Se made breakfast and went out, and prepared breakfast and lunch for him.
After Zhang Limo got up, he knew that she had gone hunting, so he didn’t say anything, and started looking for work that he needed to do.
However, in the end, he found that everything in the yard was cleaned very clean, even the house, and there was no place for him to work at all.
In the evening, she came back with two rabbits and three pheasants in her hand.
Seeing him, she smiled and said, “Master, I will cook rabbit meat for you tonight.”
—
Time flies and half a year has passed, he and Liu Se are living peacefully but warmly.
Liu Se treated him very well, didn’t let him do anything, and listened to him very much.
It’s been half a year, and they haven’t consummated their marriage. And Liu Se slept on the floor even if it was cold.
Until one day, when he heard the news that the man had disbanded the harem, he was both happy and sad.
But he knew that between him and that person, it was impossible no matter what!
Soon after, he heard the news of her death. At that time, he was full of grief, and Liu Se saw it, so he didn’t say anything. But every day, he cooks for him in different ways.
Until one day, Liu Se said that she was going to go hunting in the mountains, it might take several days, and she had already prepared all the food for him.
She had never been hunting in the mountains for so long, and she didn’t know when she began to worry about her.
During the two days when she entered the mountain, she was not seen all day long, and no one greeted him with care. At that moment, he suddenly felt lonely like never before. And fear.
He inexplicably thought that she would come back soon.
Two days later, she came back.
But it was carried back by the villagers.
She was covered in blood, her legs were bloody.
It is said that the villagers found her at the foot of the mountain this morning.
The doctor came later and said that it was bitten by a tiger (tiger), so it would be good if he could save his life.
At that moment, his heart was flustered.
Even more flustered than hearing that person died!
Then the villagers left, and the doctor shook his head and left.
Within two days, my mother came with her other doctors.
But they all said that they might not be able to wake up in the future.
Mother finally left one thousand taels of silver, and Xiaolu, and left with a sigh.
—
He took care of her for two years, but she still didn’t wake up.
At this time, news came that the man was not dead.
At that time, there was no wave in his heart.
He thought, he really forgot about his love for her.
As usual, he wiped the body of the person on the bed. Only then did he know what it was like to take care of someone.
Hard work, but sweet.
The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window came in, and he looked at her who was still awake on the bed. Deep in my memory, I suddenly remembered what the man said to him standing on the palace wall on the day when he left the palace.
“If one day you meet your happiness, then you must hold on to it firmly.”
Looking at the person on the bed, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Zhang Limo’s mouth, and he held her hand. He picked up a strand of hair from each of the two and gently tied it together.
Happiness, he thought, he has found.
However, he did not grasp it in time.
But…it’s not too late.
He will wait for her to wake up, even if it is a lifetime…
The afterglow of the setting sun lightly sprinkled on the hair tied together by the two of them, which seemed to have a faint brilliance.
The setting sun is gradually setting in the west, blackness covers the earth, and also covers this quiet space.
Tie hair as husband and wife, never leave each other.
