C492 (1/2)

Jingshu has memory of that moment, the first person to remember is her brother Ziyi. She remembers that her brother seems to cover her eyes, and her tender voice says in her ear: ”don't be afraid.”

She didn't even know what she was afraid of, but an inexplicable trust welled up in her heart. This was her closest person, and they were bleeding the same way.

She nodded gently and felt her brother's hand shaking slightly.

Then, she and her brother were taken home by a young and gentle woman named Shen Zhu. She liked her at first sight, but obviously, her brother didn't think so.

Her brother is more sensible than her. She just grows up willfully and enjoys the love of her parents. Occasionally, she gets a few reprimands from her brother.

She thought that such a beautiful life would last forever.

Until the first parting.

That's when my brother joined the army and told her that he was going to defend his country.

She was ignorant. She only knew that the generals who rode high horses on the street were very powerful. She was excited when she thought that her brother would become such a person. Maybe she could touch her brother's light and go to the street once.

After a few months, my brother came back less and less once a year.

But there was one exception. It was the second year after her brother went to war. On the night of Ming Yuchen's marriage, she saw her brother come back.

He secretly didn't tell anyone. He even went to the palace of King Ming and didn't drink a cup of wedding wine. He just hurried over and came back at dawn.

She promised her brother not to tell anyone about it.

But the next morning, the elder brother was carried back. They said that the army was stationed outside the city, and no one could leave without permission. But the elder brother sneaked out. When he went back in the morning, he was found by the general, beat dozens of boards, and asked him to stay at home for two days.

Later, she said that she wanted to tell her brother a marriage and write to him at the border, but he refused. She said that she had a sweetheart for a long time and hoped that she would not run for him again.

She thought that she knew her brother well. When she was in the palace, her brother didn't get close to any girl. There should be no suitable girl in the cold border. Is the sweetheart mentioned in his letter an excuse to prevaricate his aunt?

Before he came back again, there were rumors in the army that general Ziyi not only had a sweetheart, but also had children. It was said that he was born in a military camp and was a handsome boy.

My mother didn't feel happy after she knew it. She just said that when her brother came back, she should ask him.

The autumn of that year was bitterly cold.

First, after receiving the news of aunt Yunyan's death, she, her parents and sister rushed back to the capital. She and her sister did not enter the palace at the first time, but only the next day.

She didn't know why aunt Yunyan was suddenly gone, but listening to people around, it seemed that the emperor's uncle had done something bad, and even lost her children.

However, before she was able to slow down, the news of collapse came from the border: General song Ziyi died in battle.

She felt that she had heard wrong, but when she watched a group of soldiers carrying the coffin into the palace, she did not dare to get close.

Hiding behind the post, she saw that her mother almost fainted and her father's eyes were red.

For a moment, forgetting how to cry, she widened her eyes and locked them firmly on the coffin, as if to see through the black board.

Then, she saw that Ming Yuchen came, and he took out the jade pendant that he held tightly in his brother's hand.

She also met her brother's child, who was the orphan picked up by her brother. Her name was yu'er, Yu of Ming Yuchen.

Three years later, it has been a whole year since she was received by Acacia.

Originally, she thought that after her brother's absence, she would learn to grow up. She could no longer act recklessly. She wanted to put away all her willfulness and be a good child.
