Chapter 506: Double Separation
Chapter 506: Double Separation
Feng Ming first lost Yuan Qi, and now he lost his loyal servant. He moved back to the palace step by step, and finally reached Uncle Qiu's courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Zhong Yu standing in the courtyard.
"Sir, didn't Doctor Meng say yesterday that the condition would get better after the first month of the year? How come just one day later..." Feng Ming suddenly hugged Zhong Yu, tears streaming down his face.
Zhong Yuben was frightened by the blood on Feng Ming's forehead. When Feng Ming suddenly hugged him, he could only sigh: "My Lord, please accept my condolences. Uncle Qiu is already terminally ill and there is no way to save him. Doctor Meng has to rely on the weather. Now that he can't survive the first month of the year, then..."
Feng Ming understood the reason, but he was still so heartbroken that he couldn't listen to anything anyone said. Before Zhong Yu could finish speaking, he pushed him away and staggered towards Uncle Qiu's room.
After entering the house, Aunt Jing was still guarding Uncle Qiu.
Uncle Qiu lay quietly on the bed with a quilt covering him, as if he was asleep.
Aunt Jing was saying something to Uncle Qiu. When she saw Feng Ming come in, the tears that had just stopped started to fall again.
Feng Ming felt exhausted all over. He rushed to the bed, grabbed Uncle Qiu's arm which was covered by the quilt, and burst into tears.
What is hoarseness?
What is heart-wrenching?
Zhou Chang felt all the same, beyond words.
It’s for Uncle Qiu, but not entirely for Uncle Qiu.
For Yuan Qi, but not entirely for Yuan Qi.
For myself, how can it be all for myself?
The whole heaven and earth cannot bear the sorrow, and no matter how much you cry, it is not enough.
At this time, no one will stop you, and no one will laugh at you.
Feng Ming didn't stop until he was exhausted from crying and his whole body was weak again.
"Did Uncle Qiu have any last words?" Feng Ming raised his head and looked at Uncle Qiu's face again. He looked the same as when he was alive, and even looked better than when he saw him yesterday.
Aunt Jing had already passed the most sorrowful moment, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't stop her tears from falling. She shook her head slowly: "Qiu Chang was speechless at the end, and left no words."
Feng Ming is sad.
Aunt Jing advised: "Qiu Chang is now free from all worries. He has said everything he should have said. There is nothing more to say. Your Majesty, don't feel sorry. Let's send him off in a good way."
Feng Ming stood up by holding onto the edge of the bed. The dead cannot be resurrected, so it is useless to be sad. He has always known this, but he just can't get over it.
Aunt Jing went over to help him up, and then she noticed the blood on his forehead: "My Lord, what happened?"
Can’t mention it. Aunt Jing probably doesn’t know yet.
As soon as he mentioned it, every pore in Feng Ming's body seemed to be unable to breathe.
Zhou Chang felt so heartbroken that he became numb.
"Aunt Jing..." Feng Ming shook his head desperately and hugged Aunt Jing tightly again, "Now, you are all I have left."
Aunt Jing also hugged Feng Ming back tightly, but her right arm had not yet recovered and was soft and weak, but she still hugged him tightly.
Even though we know that the dead cannot be resurrected, we still want to bring them back to life.
I know we will be separated sooner or later, but I just can't stop the heartache.
In life, there is nothing that can be avoided, including death and separation.
There's nothing I can do except endure the pain and bear it.
In the end, Feng Ming left in a daze, and let Aunt Jing and others deal with Uncle Qiu's funeral.
On the first day after Yuan Qi left, Feng Ming was sad, but Zhou Chang thought it was just for Uncle Qiu.
The day after Yuan Qi left, Feng Ming was sad, but Zhou Chang still treated him as Uncle Qiu.
On the third day after Yuan Qi left, Uncle Qiu's funeral was held, and Feng Ming was naturally still sad.
At the same time, the news that Princess Yi had "run away" from Prince Yi's mansion spread like wildfire.
After Feng Ming buried Uncle Qiu with great ceremony, he locked himself in his study, not saying a word, not eating or drinking, and isolating himself from the world.
Zhou Chang felt heartbroken, but he could not take back control of Prince Yi's body.
The reason why he couldn't get it back was because Feng Ming started drinking since the day Yuan Qi left.
Once drunk, Zhou Chang either lost consciousness or fell into a coma.
But it was also because of this that she saw clearly for the first time that from the very beginning, she and Feng Ming had different feelings towards Yuan Qi.
She loves Yuan Qi and wants to become Yuan Qi.
Feng Ming loves Yuan Qi and wants to be with him.
On the fourth day after Yuan Qi left, Feng Ming was still hiding in the study room with a bottle of wine and refused to come out.
The thin monkey asked, "My Lord, you refused to consummate your marriage with the princess before, why are you so sad now?"
"I don't know, and I'm not sad." Feng Ming didn't feel that he was drunk, and he even wanted to get drunker.
It is said that a single drunk can dispel a thousand sorrows, but he just couldn't get drunk.
"Is the prince in love with the princess?" The skinny monkey squatted beside Feng Ming's bed, trying to find an opportunity to snatch the wine jug.
Feng Ming curled up at the head of the bed, holding a wine jug in one hand and a golden nanmu brocade box in the other, staring blankly.
A thousand-year-old golden nanmu box contained a priceless jade pendant. But what was the use of it, no matter how valuable it was? Even when holding it in his arms, his heart still felt empty, and gusts of cold wind blew over him.
"The prince doesn't eat or drink, he just keeps drinking, and he refuses to admit it. They all say that this is a symptom of being emotional and hurt." The skinny monkey definitely wanted to give him some advice, but he was really at a loss for words.
During this period, Feng Ming didn't want to see anyone, and only Skinny Monkey could reluctantly stay by his side.
After a few days, Feng Ming had actually passed the stage of being "at a loss, sad and without support", but he just didn't want to see anyone, didn't want to talk, had no appetite to eat, and only wanted to drink.
Zhou Chang was at a loss as to what to do about this situation. Intellectually, she had always known that Feng Ming and Yuan Qi's marriage was a fake one and that they would divorce sooner or later. Otherwise, how could she get back together with Wen Qingyan?
But in terms of feelings, she felt the same as Feng Ming. She had never known what it was like to suffer a heart-breaking breakup in her previous two lives, but now she understood it all at once.
Only Feng Ming himself refused to admit it.
"Stop talking nonsense, get out if you have nothing to do." Feng Ming chased people away without saying a word. "I'm fine, I just want to be alone for a while, don't bother me."
The thin monkey didn't move: "So, Prince, since it's not you, you should cheer up, eat, drink, and do what you should do. As for the princess, you are the prince, do you still worry about not having a princess in the future? The worst that can happen is that you will have less money and good food and drink. I don't care about the food and drink, and the prince shouldn't care about the money either."
Feng Ming hated to hear these words, but being upset was better than being heartbroken. He thought of the scene on that day and asked, "By the way, have you sent all the documents and silver back to the Yuan family?"
"Of course, I returned it a long time ago." replied the skinny monkey.
Feng Ming didn't plan to ask any further, as he was afraid to know what the Yuan family's reaction would be.
On the day Yuan Qi left, Feng Ming left Uncle Qiu's yard and unknowingly walked back to the East Courtyard bedroom.
Manager Li and his group didn't know whether to leave or stay.
Feng Ming waved his hand and sent everyone away, telling them to go back wherever they wanted.
After that, he went into the inner room alone and sat there until dark.
Then, he took the thick contract document out of the box, handed it to the skinny monkey, and asked the skinny monkey to return it to the Yuan family.
He realized that Yuan Qi was determined to leave, so he could not accept such things no matter what.
Afterwards, he put the jade pendant and the letter in his arms back into the nanmu wooden box, held it in his arms, and sat there until dawn.
