New Life of Broken Cedar - C62
Gu Moyan didn’t get the chance to react in time. He was shaken awake by the force of the external world.
Gu Moyan frowned before she went back to the cage. She thought to herself, Zi Ye would only be waiting for me in the outer room at this time. He never stepped too far away from her. Sobbing sounds could be heard one after another, making Gu Moyan, who had been in a bad mood for the past few days, feel her tongue go dry.
“Esteemed wangfei, esteemed wangfei, Ziye’s room, room …” Little Shun wiped the tears off his face with one hand and tugged at Gu Moyan’s exposed sleeve with the other, wailing in pain.
“Tell me, what happened in the cottonwood room?” Gu Moyan pulled back the impatience she had felt a moment ago and sat up. Without batting an eyelid, she pulled back her sleeves and comforted him softly.
He felt that the next thing Little Shun wanted to say would be something he absolutely could not bear.
“Zi Ye, Zi Ye, he wuu …” He hanged himself in his room… Woo … He’s been dead for several days. ”
Even though Gu Mo Yan was mentally prepared, his mind was still blank when he heard this. It was as if he couldn’t feel anything around him and only received the message that Zi Ye had been dead for many days.
No wonder, no wonder he had such a strange dream these days. So it was Ziye who was trying to wake him up? He still thought that it was terrifying. How could he become like this?
Gu Moyan’s breathing paused. Just when Little Shun was about to think the Empress was about to faint again, Gu Moyan pushed him away. She ran towards Zi Ye’s room without even putting on her shoes.
When Gu Mo Yan arrived, he pushed open the door of the house and walked in. He even closed the door to prevent the commotion outside.
Zi Ye’s body was now lying on the cold ground. There was only a white cloth covering his entire body.
Gu Moyan walked over quietly, as if she was afraid that she would disturb the person lying on the ground. Because it was winter and the air was cold, the corpse stayed in the room for many days without any strange smell.
Gu Moyan carefully pulled off the white cloth. The skin on her face and the skin below her neck were completely different. Her eyes rolled up, causing her to be unable to see any darkness. It was almost the same as the one in her dreams.
He quickly pulled the white cloth away, and when he saw the clothes on his body, tears instantly flowed down his face.
He was still wearing the same white fox fur coat that he had rummaged through for quite a while before finally finding it. There was no longer any blood on his clothes, and his whole body was lifeless.
Gu Moyan lay on Ye Wen’s chest, trying to hear the faintest of heartbeats. His voice sounded like he was crying, and his words were slowly filled with apology, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”
He knew that he already knew the reason for everything that had happened from what Ximen Qingfeng had said to Mo Gu Han last time.
As an imperial concubine of the imperial harem, he had been disobedient and had frequently interacted with the son of an official. This was a form of disrespect towards the emperor. However, he hadn’t expected that Mo Gu Han wouldn’t punish him, but would instead harm the people around him.
But so what if he knew now? He had wrongly given his one-sided wish, and even caused the entire Zi Ye family to suffer along with him.
He crouched down and buried his face in his wrist like a helpless child.
Everything was his fault. He finally managed to say the three words that he hadn’t had the time to say, “I’m sorry, Ziye. I’m sorry.”
