百里婧惊讶地站起身：<></span>什么<></span><></span>呕血<></span><></span>
<></span>是啊<></span>我觉得他应该活不了多久了<></span><></span>木莲点点头<></span>理所当然的样子：<></span>婧小白<></span>你快些同他和离吧<></span>要是他真的死了<></span>你可就……<></span>
<></span>别了<></span><></span>百里婧焦急地推开挡在前方的木莲<></span>拎起食盒就迈出门槛<></span>木莲在身后唤道：<></span>婧小白<></span>你不要去啊<></span><></span>
偏院依旧僻静<></span>十日不见<></span>大片的桃花已经开败<></span>枝头只剩碧绿茂盛的叶子<></span>江南的春天四季分明<></span>
涉过小溪<></span>推开房门<></span>然而<></span>墨问不在房中<></span>远山也不见了<></span>
百里婧找遍了整个小屋<></span>也不见墨问的踪影<></span>只看到最北边一间房中供奉着的三个牌位<></span>牌位上分别写着——爱妻刘氏<></span>爱妻赵氏<></span>爱妻章氏之灵位<></span>
灵位前燃着香烛<></span>可见日日都有人来上香<></span>房内阴风阵阵<></span>不知从哪个角落吹过来<></span>将梁上垂下的暗色帘子鼓胀起来<></span>无端让人心生恐惧<></span>仿佛可以看到三张年轻而憔悴病态的脸<></span>因为受尽了孤独无望的痛苦而逝去<></span>
百里婧本来一只脚踏在门槛内<></span>一只脚在外<></span>这会儿也不敢再往里细细探究<></span>忙关上房门<></span>重又退了出来<></span>
偏院的地方很大<></span>除却桃林、小池、还有一大片的菜园子<></span>墨问平日里吃的清淡小菜都是院内自种的<></span>听远山<></span>她未嫁入相府之前<></span>左相给偏院的月钱一直不够用<></span>大部分花在了墨问的药上<></span>他们这些下人只好想些法子自给自足<></span>节俭度日<></span>
菜园子在小屋后面<></span>只需穿过竹林中的小径<></span>百里婧盲目地找过去<></span>竟正好瞧见墨问站在稀稀疏疏的竹林中<></span>只见他一只手将一根翠竹攥得极紧<></span>一只手抬高<></span>因为是侧身<></span>百里婧看不见他的动作<></span>只听到他又发出一阵呕声<></span>
远山突然<></span>咚<></span>的一声跪在地上<></span>痛声道：<></span>大公子<></span>远山求您别再做傻事了<></span>你的嗓子已经坏了……不了话了<></span>你喝再多的药<></span>再使力<></span>也不可能出话来的<></span><></span>
远山这声劝情真意切<></span>沉痛不已<></span>墨问恍若未闻<></span>百里婧震惊地走近了几步<></span>才发现墨问的手指按在喉咙中<></span>也许是插得太深<></span>他一阵接一阵地干呕<></span>喉中发出沙哑难听的声音来<></span>
<></span>卡擦——<></span>
百里婧不小心踩到了一根断了的竹枝<></span>墨问回过头来<></span>沉静的黑眸因为难捱的干呕而浮现出迷离的水汽<></span>他抽出来的手指上一片淋漓的鲜血<></span>唇角的血丝越流越多<></span>
墨问显然不希望她看到他如此狼狈的模样<></span>他双眸躲闪<></span>仓惶别开头<></span>朝竹林深处深一脚浅一脚地迈去<></span>
远山忙跪地求百里婧：<></span>恳请婧公主劝劝大公子<></span>大公子呕血已经五日之久<></span>倘若再这样下去<></span>他的性命恐将不保了<></span><></span>
百里婧这才想起墨问有失血之症<></span>伤口不易愈合<></span>她眉头深锁<></span>非常不解：<></span>他……为什么要这样做<></span><></span>
从这些日子的相处来看<></span>墨问不是一个任性的人<></span>他做事很有自己的分寸<></span>不逾矩<></span>不强求<></span>淡泊得像俗世之外的隐者<></span>究竟发生了什么让他如此执着<></span>不惜伤害他自己呢<></span>
远山张了张口<></span>语气沉痛地答道：<></span>大公子<></span>如果他会话<></span>就可以入宫去找婧公主<></span>就不会像个废人似的只能等在偏院<></span>不仅不能替婧公主分忧<></span>还成了婧公主的累赘<></span>前几日大公子出府去寻公主<></span>碰见一位走方郎中<></span>是可以治哑病<></span>给了一个药方<></span>大公子照着药方服了两日<></span>便日日寻思开口话<></span>可惜<></span>一直不出<></span>他却不死心<></span>天天张口练习<></span>以至于喉咙撕裂出血……无论远山如何劝阻<></span>大公子一句都听不进去<></span>求婧公主劝劝大公子别再做傻事了<></span><></span>
百里婧怔住<></span>
连走方郎中的话都信<></span>墨问真是傻<></span>然而<></span>百里婧一瞬间却充满了自责<></span>她去宫中这十余日<></span>只是命人来相府送了个信暂时不回<></span>却没有对任何人明原因<></span>木莲方才那般责备她<></span>想必墨问心里也在怪她<></span>
百里婧叹气：<></span>远山<></span>你起来吧<></span>我去看看大公子<></span><></span>
着<></span>她迈开步子朝墨问远去的方向追过去<></span>
竹林中的路坑坑洼洼<></span>有好些枯死的枝桠和露出地面的竹节根部<></span>百里婧穿的是繁复的宫装<></span>一个不小心便容易被挂住<></span>是以<></span>磕磕绊绊地走着<></span>好一会儿才追上墨问<></span>
