Chapter 35： The moment of death

Jian Mei found an extra package on her desk when she returned to the room.

Next to the charger, there is a package with very delicate packaging and full of technological sense. It is covered with blue iron packaging. It is also very heavy when you pick it up. There is a button in the center of this box. When you press it, the box makes a beeping sound, and then slowly opens, revealing the contents inside.

Jian Wei hesitated for a while, and finally confirmed with some surprises: "Is it a herbal medicine?!"

He was about to forget about the many medicines before. This would suddenly see herbs popping up out of thin air on the table. It was just surprise and joy. It really made him a little excited. If he changed it, he would definitely find it hard to believe. But after experiencing the big brother using the charger to transfer things, he actually accepted it.

"Boom boom"

There was a knock on the door outside.

Jian Wei was taken aback and turned back a little wary: "Who?"

Father's voice came from outside: "Ambiguous, it's me."

Jian Mei hurriedly put the herbs away, then went to open the door, standing outside Jian Shencheng holding a glass of milk, wearing dark pajamas, looked at him gently, and said, "You haven't slept yet?"

Jian Mei shook his head: "No."

Jian Shencheng asked, "Can Dad go in?"

Jian Mo replied and stepped aside: "Yes."

The two walked inside, Jian Shencheng put the milk on the table, then sat down on the sofa next to him, and said to him, "What did you play with your brother today?"

Jian Mei honestly said about the game city.

Jian Shencheng didn't blame him after listening, but asked softly, "Have you fun?"

Jane thought for a while and replied, "Happy."

Just when Jian Shencheng thought this was the answer, Jian Mei was silent again, as if thinking, and then said again: "Not all happy."

Jian Shencheng asked him, "Why?"

Jian Mei hesitated: "Because I don't know if my mother will still be angry."

After hearing these words, Jian Shencheng's heart moved a bit. He looked at his well-behaved and sensible son. He has mixed tastes. The child is always the best to understand, but they never calm down and talk to the child. .

Jian Shencheng stretched out his hand and touched Jian Mei's head: "Your mother is not angry, she is just worried about you."

"The way she does things and talks makes you unhappy, right?" Jian Shencheng's movements were gentle: "Daddy apologizes to you for her, don't get angry with your mother, she will be very hurt."

Jian Mei lowered her head and said, "I didn't anger with her. I am not at home today because I am afraid that if I meet her, my mother will be angry with me again. I don't want her to be unhappy."

Jian Shencheng sighed helplessly when he saw the child like this. He said to Jian Mo, "But you can't solve the problem with the disappearance of the information like this, right, you have to discuss with your dad if you have anything, and dad promises you. , Will help you handle it, trust me, okay?"

...

Jian Mei actually gets along more with his father since childhood.

When he was a child, he followed his grandfather and father to recognize herbal medicine. After being sick and hospitalized, his father was also his half of the attending doctor. During many stages of his life, his father accompanied him. From the bottom of his heart, he still trusted his father.

So he hesitated and said, "Then...Daddy, can you do me a favor?"

Jian Shencheng: "You said."

Jane thought about it, and finally took out the herbal medicine in the drawer. He knew how much shock his parents would be caused by what was inside, but he had to do this. Now he is not able to afford the level of medicine for Da Zhuang brother alone. , He can't make jokes about a person's life, and many things can't stand the wait.

Jian Shencheng probably took a look, his face changed: "Where did you come from!"

Jian Mei didn't want to expose the phone, so she thought about it, and said, "Brother Dazhuang sent it to me by mail."

Jian Shencheng couldn't believe it. Any herbal medicine in it was worth a thousand dollars. If at auction, some of them are worth a house, just put these things together and just give them to his son?

Jian Mei said, "Look, dad, is this the medicinal material on the prescription?"

After all, Jian Shencheng has the professional qualities of a doctor. He immediately knew which prescription the child was talking about, and immediately verified it. Zheng nodded and said, "It's not bad."

Jian Mei was overjoyed. He sat down beside his father and said, "Dad, can you help me?"

Jian Shencheng thought it was weird that the old man suddenly studied this prescription before, but now he understands it all, his face is very serious: "Ambiguous, what kind of person is the other party, why would you let you take medicine? Used by others, you..."

Jian Mei quickly said: "No..."

He wanted to explain that he did his own opinion to treat Brother Da Zhuang, and he was not used, but the situation was too complicated. He couldn't finish talking and could only repeat: "Dad, you believe me, he is really not a bad person."

Jian Shencheng looked at the child in embarrassment, and finally sighed. He looked at the herbal medicine in his hand, then looked up at the child and said, "Ambiguous, you have already decided, haven't you?"

Jian Mei pursed her lips: "Will my thoughts cause trouble for Dad."

He really cares about his friends. If this medicine is made, it will cause distress and serious trouble to his father. Then he can't just take care of himself selfishly.

Jian Shencheng chuckled lightly and rubbed Jian Mei's head: "If it's your friend, if you believe it, Dad will believe it."

Jian Mei's eyes lit up: "Dad is really willing to help me?"

Jian Shencheng sighed: "What can we do? I just said that I can solve the problem for you. Going back is not our Jian family's tradition."

Jian Mei happily hugged his father's waist, feeling the warm temperature, and finally relaxed his depressed mood. He whispered: "Dad, thank you."

"Thank you." Jian Shencheng patted him on the back: "Even if it is not your friend, there is no reason to be a doctor."

Jian Mei listened to his words and recalled the hardships of his father and grandfather over the years. His voice was soft, with a little attention to the decision: "Dad, would it be hard to be a good doctor?"

Jian Shencheng paused, and then replied: "Any profession is very hard, just do what you like."

"Then can I be a good doctor too?"

"It's fine to do things that are right for you, and you are not ashamed of your heart." Jian Shencheng looked at the child and whispered, "Daddy believes in you."

Jian Mei said: "I will also study hard, get admitted to a good medical university, and be an excellent doctor in the future, the kind who is as great as my father."

Jian Shencheng was not so happy.

Parents have worked hard all their lives in order not to get their children to agree to live a hard life. Jian Mei and Jian Changjia’s childhoods were not happy, so they never demanded grades, as long as these two children It's good to be happy. This is the consensus reached by all of them. If they can live a healthy life, they will never do what they want.

...

The second day

Jian Mei secretly learns how to make cakes.

Today is Brother Da Zhuang’s birthday. He thinks he needs to be a little sincere. He is going to make a cake with his own hands and give it to Brother Da Zhuang. It should be more precious than buying in the store. It has a sense of ritual. No one is at home during the day. Aunt Hourly Worker didn’t come either. He squatted in the kitchen with a mobile phone to watch the tutorials. Jian’s kitchen was very large, and the aunt bought a lot of ingredients, including ovens. She used to help when she was at home. Grandpa burns the fire to cook, so the difficulty of getting started is actually not particularly big.

However……

The explanation on the video is very simple, and the actual operation is extremely difficult.

Among other things, he encountered the biggest setback of his life just by kneading the noodles. It would be nice to have a machine to separate the egg whites and egg whites, but I don’t know where the whisk was placed, and I didn’t find it after looking for it for a long time. , So he squatted in the kitchen and tried to make foam with his hands. Although it was no problem to knock down with his hands, he couldn't grasp the degree, so after putting things in the oven, the steamed cake... is soft.

Jian Mei was a little distressed: "No way."

Looking at the tutorial is obviously very simple, why can it be done at a glance, but it is useless as soon as it is made?

I talked to my father late last night, and today I woke up early to make cakes, but he didn't particularly want to give up for the time being, so he started to beat the eggs again and started to slowly foam, because the time may not have been enough last time. This time, he took a small bench and sat in the kitchen to fight slowly. If his hands were sore, he would rest for a while and continue to fight. If he was sleepy, he would wash his face with cold water.

Reworked again, the second time was unsuccessful, so I tried hard, and started the third time. Jian Mei was also discouraged in the middle, but thought that Big Zhuang brother bought himself sweet fruit, then he worked hard for him. It is not difficult to make a cake.

"It should be almost this time..."

For the third time, looking at the mixed paste, the kitchen has been messed up by Jane. The operation desk made of flour and various pastes is all, even he himself has become a little cat. Because it also takes an hour or two to bake a cake, Jian Mei starts to clean up after putting it in the oven, and there is still time after cleaning. He is sleepy and tired, but he can’t worry about the cake holding the draft paper and writing birthday greetings. Practicing calligraphy at first was to divert attention, who knew that writing and writing became even more sleepy, but in the end, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

The person on the sofa curled up in the corner to sleep with the cardboard. The door outside was opened. Someone just opened the door and came in. They were also taken aback when they saw the child lying on the sofa sleeping.

The man sighed: "Why are you sleeping here."

The child sleeping on the sofa did not sleep very smoothly, but because he was too tired, his eyes were green and dark circles under his eyes. In his sleep, he didn't know what nightmare he saw, and his brows were frowning.

The man picked up a small blanket not far away and put it on the blanket. She was shocked when she saw the happy birthday on the jam. She didn’t wait to think about it, but she saw the child beside her shrinking uneasy because of the foreign body in the blanket. She shrank, her eyelashes trembled, as if there were tears, the man got closer, and heard Jian Am’s whispering murmur, and then whispered distressingly: "Mom..."

The man sitting next to him froze.

There seemed to be a helpless sigh floating in his mouth, and the jammed paper was finally put back to Jian Mei's side.

...

Stein

Today is the birthday of His Royal Highness Lu Xingzuo, but the entire palace is in a weird silence and depression. Many people know the matter of His Royal Highness's birthday. His current situation is not good. It is no irony to celebrate his birthday. But if it doesn't, the past years have been big and big things, especially Empress Lan Gui, who pays the most attention to tradition. In the past, the excitement started several days ago, but now the whole palace is quiet and terrible.

but……

But some people just don't want to be lonely and want to use this opportunity to do things.

The group of people who have always regarded Lu Xingwang as a thorn in their eyes is the most unwilling to be lonely. Early in the morning, the queen rushed over. She was originally to dismount her horse. Who knows that after waiting in the palace for a long time, I didn’t see Lu Xingwang. The figure finally asked Aruo in anger, "Where is your Royal Highness?"

A Ruo quickly said: "His Royal Highness goes to the Still Life Hall to exercise every morning, and someone has already invited it."

The tea that the queen waited for was cold, and she was impatient: "Then why haven't you come back yet?"

A Ruo thought, why didn't you come back? The queen hasn't counted it in your heart, but she didn't dare to say, she could only prevaricate: "The Still Life Hall is a little far away from here, so please wait."

Just when the queen felt that she was humiliated and couldn't wait any longer, a figure slowly appeared at the door.

Lu Xingwang said to her: "I have seen the empress."

"It's really not easy to want to see His Royal Highness once." The queen smiled reluctantly.

Lu Xing's face was expressionless: "I don't know if you will come over, Empress Empress, you will be welcome."

The implication is that you are okay to run over and do, don't know if you are not welcome here, let you wait here is regarded as polite to you.

The queen’s smile froze, but she quickly adjusted it, and asked the maid behind her to bring up the gift she had prepared, and said slowly: “Today is the birthday of the Third Royal Highness, how can I not come, Lan'er went early, It is really pitiful to leave you such a child alone. As the mother of a country, of course I have to take care of you."

"This chain of divine beads is what the senior priest Qi Lu asked for. It can bless people's divine power and nourish the body. This palace thinks, you can use it if you are not in good health." The queen continued to smile: "Maybe It's a bit simpler, and the palace has asked someone to allocate some precious nourishment to you from the warehouse."

It's like being afraid of not pricking people's sore spots, and you can't let it go on the birthday, rushing over to add to the blockage.

Where Lu Xingwang stood, the sunlight from the palace gate fell on him, pulling out a long, lonely and lonely black shadow, and the boy knelt down on one knee: "Thank you Empress Empress for your kindness."

The queen smiled triumphantly, and added as if deliberately: "The palace will go back first. In less than half a month it will be your eldest brother's 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. The palace is too busy to get out of it. , Don’t bother."

She was full of pride in her heart, and she deliberately said it to stimulate Lu Xingwang. After all, Lu Xingwang has been pressing his son all over the past few years, and now she can finally breathe out.

I was thinking about it, but there was a voice outside: "Excuse me?"

The queen's movements became stiff, and she looked at the emperor walking slowly outside wearing a sacred robe. In this period, the emperor had never mentioned the birth of Lu Xing. No one thought he would be at this time. Appear.

Lu Xingwang seemed to be unsurprising, and then turned to salute: "My son, please send greetings to the emperor."

The emperor replied: "Well, don't be too polite. For your birthday, I will come to see you after I have approved an early discount at the Government Affairs Hall."

All the major generals came to report on work this morning. Seeing that the emperor was so busy, he casually mentioned that he had seen Lu Xingwang in the Still Life Hall earlier and wanted to come to the three magistrates to learn more. Originally, the emperor didn’t plan to come so early. When the general said, he just walked over. Who knew that when he came over, he heard the queen's yin and yang strange.

He naturally knew that his queen didn’t like the third son, but he usually did everything on the surface. If he doesn’t come today and can’t hear these words, it’s the queen who gave so many nourishments to him. There is no doubt.

The queen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is true. If you said you would come earlier, your concubines will come with you."

"No, isn't the queen busy?" The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at her: "How dare I delay time."

The queen did not expect that these words would be heard by the emperor. She was a little anxious for a while, and quickly stood up and walked over to kneel and said softly: "Where is your majesty? What my concubine wants."

The emperor curled his lips and smiled: "Sorry?"

There was an inexplicable cold sweat behind the queen.

The emperor didn’t say much, but he helped Lu Xing who was next to him and told him a little bit. It may be because of the queen’s affairs that he felt more guilty for this child in his heart. Concubine Lan was also considered to be him. The woman he loved, this child is also his proud child, so it is impossible not to feel in his heart.

"I recently got a few new mechanical products from other StarCrafts by Curry. I remember you like them, and they will be sent to you later." The emperor thought for a while and said: "The major general also mentioned to me today that in addition to the usual In the military, it’s not easy to see you in the palace. You don’t go out of the palace in the past six months, and you must be boring. When I look back, I will ask the major general to send a quick pass token so that he can come and accompany him from time to time. you."

Lu Xingwang always knows how to win without being arrogant or discouraged. Even if he gets a big deal at the moment, he is still a regular thank you: "Thank you, Father."

Did not entangle these gifts.

Lu Xingwang just looked up at his parents and said in a low voice: "Father, he approves the early book early in the morning. Pay more attention to your health."

People who don’t care much about others are most touching when they start to care. The emperor looks at children who are thinner than ever before, and of course he doesn’t have no feelings in his heart. : "I know in my heart, you have to rest first, I have something to do, I have to go."

Not surprisingly, Lu Xingzuo saluted his father again.

From the beginning to the end, the emperor did not reprimand the queen, but it made the queen very uncomfortable and couldn't get off the stage. Today, it was originally to add obstacles to Lu Xing, but it made her hurried to follow him on pins and needles.

...

Afternoon

Aruo cleaned up the gifts from various places, the exquisite and heroic gifts were like running water. After finally handing over, she quickly entered the hall.

"His Majesty, there was news from the front that it was originally the prince's coming-of-age ceremony that our Ministry of Ritual wanted most of, but at noon today, His Majesty suddenly said that he wanted to practice frugality, so he reduced it and made everything simpler."

A Ruo's tone was a little schadenfreude: "I heard that none of the meals delivered at noon in the Prince's Hall were eaten, and another copy was delivered as it was."

Lu Xingwang’s birthday has been simplified, and the prince did not hide it, and what he lost was not an ordinary birthday. It was the 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, the most important hall in life. This was originally an opportunity for the queen to tell the world. , I want to take this to stand firm and let the world know that the future is the era of the prince.

But I never thought it would come out like this. Now the whole world still wants to know everything about the prince’s coming-of-age ceremony, making people laugh out of their teeth?

After speaking, A Ruo looked at Lu Xingwang, but found that the young man was not as happy as she thought. A Ruo hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, what do you want to eat later, I will make you something for you. Love it?"

"No need." Lu Xingwang said, "I have no appetite."

Because of the effects of toxins, his appetite was getting smaller and smaller, and even during the period when he stopped taking the medicine, Lu Xingwang had already started to take the nutrient solution and stopped eating.

A Ruo feels badly distressed: "Then you..."

Lu Xing said in vain, "I will go to see my concubine tonight."

In previous years, Concubine Lan called him to go to the palace to celebrate his birthday. This year, Lu Xingwang went to visit his mother and concubine by himself. Concubine Lan’s mausoleum was outside the palace and it was difficult to get out. He went to the closed palace of Concubine Lan and sat The inner hall fell on the gray stone steps and quietly looked at the familiar plants and trees in the hall. He used to resist coming here. After all, he had to face his mother’s strict requirements and endless teachings. At this moment It was so quiet here, but he felt unprecedented loneliness and sadness.

Every night, at the peak of the onset of toxins in his body, his blood burned so badly, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back, but his face was still so calm.

He remembers that once, on this step, his mother put him on the prince’s robes for the first time, and then said: "We Xingwang are really good and handsome. How good is this robes? He will grow up at the age of eighteen. The robes in the hall must be more handsome! Mother is waiting for that day."

At that time, Lu Xing said, "That will take a long time."

Concubine Lan Gui smiled and said, "Time flies quickly, and it will arrive soon."

In such a blink of an eye, many years have passed. Those times have indeed passed very quickly and many things have changed.

"Mother."

"Will you not keep your word? You didn't wait to see my adult ceremony."

Lu Xingzuo's voice was a bit low and hoarse because of the illness. He sat on the stone steps and looked at the moon, and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "But I can't see it myself."

The time passed quickly, fleeting.

Lu Xing looked at the wind blowing across the treetops in the courtyard, and whispered, "I think time is passing very slowly now."

Pain and suffering, every day is sad, and there is no end and hope in the future. The pressure is like a heavy burden, which makes people unable to breathe. Those luxurious gifts are cold and scary. Why don’t the gift-giver know? In his current situation, all the things he sent were specially made to pierce his heart. Lu Xingwang's eyes were full of black, almost blending with the deep night.

"Ding Dong"

Suddenly there was a sound of news, interrupting his thoughts.

It was a message from Jian Wei, mysterious: "Is your cell phone nearby, can I give you something?"

Lu Xingzuo was a little surprised. Is it possible that it is also a birthday gift? He seemed to have told Jian Mei that he would not expect that he would be taken care of by others if he said casually. It feels quite amazing. Would it be a luxurious gift? Lu Xing, who had received a gift for a day, thought about this unconsciously, but his mind did not reveal too much, and only replied: [Beside, what do you want to give me. 】

The transfer function was turned on, and slowly, a golden light came on, a string of candied haws fell from the sky, and a simple and ambiguous voice was sent over, full of joy: "Dangdangdang! This is the candied haws I told you before. The delicious one!"

"..."

Lu Xing looked at the red haw haw and brown candied haws in his hand, lost in thought.

He thought it was over, but he didn't expect a golden light to light up in the sky. Then, a cake that looked strange and ugly, the opposite of the exquisite desserts in the palace appeared, and the simple and ambiguous explanation followed: "This is I made the birthday cake for the first time. I don’t know how it tastes. I’m afraid it will destroy the integrity. You can taste it later and tell me.”

"..."

Lu Xingwang looked at the cake that seemed a little squishy and lost his thoughts.

What I didn't expect was that after a while, another golden light came on. This time it was amazing. Jian Mei actually passed him a casserole, and there was a strange smell in it.

Jian Mei was even more excited: "This is the medicinal soup my father made for you. Drink it while it's hot, it's good for your health!"

"..."

Lu Xingzuo was speechless by the smell of this medicinal soup.

Just when he thought it could be over, who knew that Jian Mei could actually follow up with him as a tribute. A golden light flashed, and a teddy bear fell from the sky and landed in his arms. It was a blue one. The bear is very similar to the one before Jian Mei: "This is the pocket money I saved for a long time. You repaired two toys for me before and they came back. You will definitely want it too. "

...

He didn't want it.

Jian Mei also prompted him to say: "Hurry up and poke the bear's butt, there is a surprise."

Lu Xingwang was already scared, but Jian Mei asked for it. He was a little curious, turned it over, and really found a button behind him. He hesitated and clicked it on, and a burst of social death music suddenly sounded through the whole hall. Courtyard: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~"

Inexplicably, Lu Xingwang felt that this time is not slow at all. He now wants to go back and fight the queen for another three hundred rounds, and he doesn't want to listen to the bear singing any more.
