The Story of the Charming Empress - C94

Little Fishy seemed to understand what I meant. Her face slightly blushed as she scratched the back of her head and said:

“Brother Xiao — — No, Miss Xiao, do you still remember me, Little Fishy? I really didn’t expect you to be a girl. I actually didn’t notice on the way …” Little Fishy’s nagging illness was as usual, and I couldn’t help but frown. I used all my strength to stop him from continuing:

“Water, give me water.”

“En!” Little Fishy replied and quickly turned around and left the room. She quickly brought a bowl of warm water and fed me a few spoonfuls.

With some strength in my body, I let him help me sit up and lean against the headboard. I asked,

“What’s going on? Why am I here? ”

Little Fishy’s expression changed as she hatefully said:

“They are all despicable pirates. I was at the beach that day and saw a small boat coming in, it was Second Uncle Zheng’s boat, you were also on the boat, your body was covered in blood, the moment you landed on the shore you all fainted. It was me and a few people from the village who rescued you, and then I saw that you looked exactly like Brother Xiao, so I brought you back home.

“At first, I thought you were Brother Xiao’s sister, but there’s no reason for you to look so much like her. It was Master Guo who said that long ago saw that you didn’t seem like a man, so I finally understood that you were a man disguised as a woman. No wonder when I was with you in those past few days, I always felt that you were weird …”

Seeing that he was going off topic again, I stretched out my hand and made a gesture to stop. Little Fishy immediately came to her senses. She hurriedly straightened her expression and said:

“I heard from Second Uncle Zheng that your ship had met with pirates, and only the few of you survived. They all woke up early, and only you slept four or five days. I’m dying of anxiety. Oh right, and …”

“What did you say?!” Only the few of us will survive? What about Yang Liang? Where’s Qingcheng?! ” I abruptly interrupted Fishy’s words and involuntarily grabbed onto his collar.

Little Fishy was startled. She held her chest and pulled my hand away as she said:

“Listen to me, Miss Xiao. Don’t be impulsive. I don’t know the Yang Liang and Qingcheng you spoke of. Are they your relatives?”

Don’t know Yang Liang and Qingcheng? So they didn’t come back?

No, no, no, they won’t die! No!

Her tears were like pearls with broken strings as they rolled out. Her face was already devoid of color. It was me! It was me who harmed them!

If I didn’t come out of the palace, Yang Liang and Qingcheng should still be living in the small courtyard. If I didn’t insist on leaving, how could Yang Liang have thought of going to the Immortal Island?

As for me, I forcefully sent the two of them into the ocean. No, I didn’t see their corpses with my own eyes, I definitely don’t believe that they are already dead. Little Fishy must be lying to me! I’m going to look for them!

I don’t know where I got the strength from, but I got off the bed and rushed out of the door without caring about anything else.

Little Fishy was frightened by my appearance and hurriedly hugged me by the waist, consoling me:

“They are already dead. Even if they weren’t killed by the pirates, they would have already died!” It will not be revived! Lady Xiao, you don’t need to act like this! No matter how sad you are, they won’t be able to come back! Furthermore, you have a child in your womb! ”

Child? Where did the child come from? I was stunned for a moment as I stared blankly at Fishy.

“The doctor said so. You’re already two months pregnant.” When Fishy saw that I stopped struggling, she immediately let go of me. She looked a bit embarrassed, probably knowing that behind my daughter, she felt a little awkward.

Pregnant? How was this possible? I subconsciously stroked my lower abdomen as I asked in confusion.

“Really?”

Little Fishy solemnly nodded her head, as if she wasn’t lying to me.

His heart was filled with indescribable sorrow. Why was he pregnant at this time? Calculating the situation, it has indeed been two months since I passed away. Could it be that just that one night caused me to bear Yang Guang’s child again?

The heavens’ will is messing with me. Why do I have such a bitter life? Child, you have come at such an inopportune time.

Her body felt weak, and she was about to fall to the ground. It was as if she had used all of her strength just now to support me back to the bed. With every step she took, she felt the sorrow in her heart grow stronger.

No matter how hard it was to rest, Yang Liang and Qingcheng’s shadows were like two wisps of drifting clouds in the sky, suffused with a bright red color. They were like the wedding dress on the day of the wedding, and more like the sinking of a large ship.

Little Fishy and her family treated me very well. Every day, they asked me about the warm weather. Even though the village was poor and the food was light, it was not a short meal for me. The warmth reminded me of all the things that happened in the countryside when I was a child.

When I was better, I struggled to my feet and asked Fishy to drive me to the beach in a carriage.

It was still sunny and the north wind was still blowing. The sea was as smooth as a mirror and the blue sky and sea were still blue.

But Yang Liang and Qingcheng, they would forever sleep in this azure blue sky, never to return.

There was always a feeling that they weren’t dead. All of that was originally just a dream of mine.

However, by the side of the mountain rock outside the pier stood two new tombs. The mournful Lin Feng was currently standing beside the grave, and the reality in his eyes completely shattered my fantasies. He was truly reminding me that Yang Liang and Qingcheng had truly left me forever.

Grief filled me as I stroked the two small stone monuments in front of the grave. The one with Qingcheng’s name on it still had a slight warmth to it. It was obvious that Lin Feng had been stroking it for a long time.

I raised my head to look at Lin Feng, but he turned around and walked away, refusing to pay any attention to me.

I understand that he hates me. I was the one who single-handedly made Yang Liang and Qingcheng’s marriage, leaving him with no hope at all. It was also because of me that Yang Liang went to the Immortal Island.

Lin Feng’s back was lonely and desolate, completely unlike the prideful youth from before, the one who fought against Yang Liang.

At first, he didn’t understand why Lin Feng would build a grave for Yang Liang, but now, he understood it from his bleak back.

He wanted to grant Qingcheng’s wish. Regardless of the world, regardless of this life or the next, Qingcheng’s heart would definitely follow behind Yang Liang. As for Lin Feng, no matter how much he hated Yang Liang, he still didn’t wish for his daughter to be possessed and be left alone and miserable.

I cried for a long time, until the sun set and the sun set. Little Fishy walked over and said:

“Miss Xiao, don’t be sad. It’s already late, and you’re someone with a body. The doctor said that you’ve suffered too much. Your pregnancy is unstable and you can’t stay here and take the cold wind.”

I stroked my lower abdomen. It was still as flat as before, but there was a small life quietly growing.

I stubbornly refused Little Fishy’s kindness and no longer lived with them. Instead, I moved back to the small courtyard where I used to live with Yang Liang and Qingcheng.

The room looked the same as it always did when they left. It was cleaned and clean, and there wasn’t even time to cover up with dust. However, the people inside the room were already separated by Yin and Yang, no longer bustling with activity like before.

I am willing to spend all of my life here. I believe that Yang Liang and Qingcheng’s souls have not gone far, and I stubbornly believed that they would eventually return. This is their home.

Maybe one day, when I wake up, I’ll be able to see the two of them coming back together.

I’ll wait for them here.

Little Fishy would come over ten li across the mountain road every day to visit me and bring me some food and clothing. Otherwise, I, who had been waiting in the courtyard every day to await the return of Yang Liang and Qingcheng, wouldn’t even know how to survive.

Looking back and forth, looking forward to see, Yang Liang and Qingcheng didn’t come back, but I heard a news that made my heart hurt even more.

That day, Little Fishy came again. Her face was depressed, as if reluctant to part with him, but she stopped talking. I knew his temperament, so I didn’t ask. In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and said,

“Miss Xiao, why don’t you move to my house and have my parents take care of you?”

So it was just that since I had moved out, I had never returned. Although Little Fishy’s parents were hospitable and treated me extremely well, I faintly felt that Yang Liang and Qingcheng would return, and I was afraid that I would miss it.

“Thank you for your good intentions, and more importantly, thank you for taking care of me, but I really can’t leave here.” I shook my head and looked apologetically at Fishy. “You don’t have to go back and forth so hard every day. I’m fine here.”

Little Fishy waved her hands repeatedly, “No, it’s not that I’m a pain in the ass. It’s because I’m going back to the capital. If I leave, what will you do?”

He thought to himself, “Didn’t they say we’d leave after the new year?”
