Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 159 You are born before me, I am old when I am born

I woke up from the dream all of a sudden, and sat up suddenly.

The people guarding the bed all gathered around at once, and looked at me nervously with wide eyes: "Your Majesty?!"

There seemed to be that heart-piercing cry echoing in my ears, it was deafening, and I couldn't get it out of my mind. I was panting profusely with sweat, and my heart was beating like it wasn't my own, and it was going to jump out of my chest at any time.

"Xingsi, are you okay?"

A familiar voice rang in my ears, I turned my head slowly, and saw a childish young face, there seemed to be faint sadness on it, but the eyes were very concerned.

Shao Yu...?
I looked around again, and what I saw was the familiar scene - Congyun Palace.

There were some people standing beside the bed, it was Ke'er, and the court ladies and eunuchs who came to serve, all looked at me nervously.

Me, have I returned to Qinglong Kingdom?

At this time, some pictures flashed through my mind, the fire soaring into the sky, the desperate fight, the boundless grassland, the endless darkness...

I remembered.

That big fire burned half of the sky behind me, and I walked like this step by step, for three whole days, without stopping or resting, until there was a sound of horseshoes in my ears, and Ling Shaoyu suddenly walked away. He rushed in front of me and caught my crumbling body.

His last words were—

"Xingsi, where's my second brother?"

I slowly raised my head and looked at him. At this moment, there was already a deep sadness in his eyes, but he opened his mouth and asked again.

nothing more to say...

I slowly uncovered the thin quilt on my body and was about to get out of bed, but Ke'er hurried up to support me and said, "Your body is still very weak, don't get out of bed."

Ling Shaoyu also said: "Yes, the imperial doctor has seen it. You walked on the grassland without eating or drinking for three days. Your physical strength is exhausted. You must take a good rest."

I shook my head slightly and looked at him: "Where's your father?"

Before I fainted, I gave him the antidote, and told him to take it for Chu Feng as soon as he returned to Qinglong Kingdom. How is Chu Feng doing now?

"Father, he has already taken the antidote, and he hasn't—"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly, he heard a rush of heavy footsteps outside, and the door was pushed open with a slamming sound.

Taking a closer look, it was Eunuch Yu standing at the door panting.

The first time he saw me, he was startled and opened his eyes wide. Ling Shaoyu immediately said, "Eunuch Yu, what's the matter?"

"Qi, Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he-"

Everyone in the room was startled, and my heart tightened for a moment. Ling Shaoyu's face changed drastically, and he hurried forward: "What's wrong with Father?!"

Eunuch Yu looked at us: "Please go and have a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, I turned over and got out of bed, and ran towards the door.

There are scenes of familiar scenes in front of me, the imperial garden is full of flowers, bees and butterflies are flying around; the tall and majestic palace is still telling the majesty of the imperial power; He looked at me in astonishment, but I didn't care about all this at all, and ran all the way to Yanfu Hall.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the main hall, I heard the voices of people in the main hall, which was completely different from the usual quietness. I walked over and saw that all the imperial doctors and some servants were standing in the main hall.

In the center of the familiar hall, there was still a snow-white bed, a person was lying there alone, his long hair like black jade was spread on the snow-white bed, making his face that had not seen the sun for a long time even whiter.

Chu Feng...

Still, no movement?

My heart hurts inch by inch, and my footsteps are getting slower and slower. It seems that I heard my footsteps. ..."

Then, everyone's eyes turned to Chu Feng.

An imperial physician who was standing closest, gently possessed himself: "Your majesty, the empress is here..."

what?
I immediately seemed to realize something, my whole body froze there, and the blood in my whole body seemed to freeze in an instant, and I stared blankly at the bed.

The person on the bed turned his head slowly, his eyes like lacquer dripped with water, and looked at me.Then, he slowly propped himself up, sat on the side of the bed, and stretched out his hand to me——

"Xingsi..."

The footsteps seem to be no longer my own. When I move over step by step, it seems that it is not I who want to go, but because he is calling, I am like an ownerless ghost, summoned by his side, a little Little by little, little by little.

And those ministers, who seemed to have known something, all silently exited the hall at this moment, and closed the door gently.

When only he and I were left in the whole hall, I finally walked in front of him, squatted down slowly, and looked at him.

"Chu... Feng..."

"Xingsi..."

I haven't spoken for a long time, his voice is very hoarse, but so familiar, a big warm hand stretched out to my face, stroking it gently, trying to wipe away the tears that kept gushing out, but it seemed like forever Can't wipe it off either.

I have thought about it countless times, facing him awake again, telling him what happened these days, those grievances, those pains, and even waking up crying in my dreams several times, but when I really face him, I can’t say anything When I came out, there were only tears streaming desperately, blurring my vision, and the only thing I could see clearly were his eyes that understood everything and cared for me.

After a long time, those hands gave up the action of wiping away my tears, slowly wrapped around my trembling body, and hugged me into his arms.

The moment I pressed against his warm chest, I finally couldn't help crying.

"Chu Feng..."

"I know it all, I know it all..."

His voice was very deep, and it reached my ears through his chest. It was thick and quiet, with a hint of trembling, as if he really knew everything that happened these days, and at this moment, all my pain was in him In his arms, he vanished into nothingness.

.

In June, the lotus fragrance fills the lake, and the red clothes and green fans reflect the clear waves.

The Mulan boat is like a flower girl, and there are many love children in the lotus house.

I was walking by the lake in a long water-red dress, and a cool breeze blew by, bringing the fragrance of lotus flowers and the fragrance of lotus leaves. It looks fresh, delicate and beautiful.

Leaving the lake, walked through a winding path, passed a side hall, and the imperial garden was in front of it.

It is still a scene full of flowers and leaves. From a distance, I saw a familiar figure sitting there in the long pavilion. When I got closer, it was Chu Feng, who was sitting on the bench, leaning slantingly, with his hands I was reading a volume of poetry in my hand.

He was wearing a loose white gown, his hair was loosely tied up behind his head, a gust of wind blew, and a strand of blue hair brushed the corners of his mouth, rubbing the faint smile lines, as if he had a lot to say, but didn't have to.

Seemingly hearing my footsteps, he raised his head and looked at me: "You are back."

"Ah."

Just now, I was taking a nap with him in the garden, but after a while he fell asleep on the back of the chair, so I went for a walk by the lake.

He didn't ask much, just stretched out his hand to me, and I hurried to him without extra formality, only then did I see that he had placed a bowl of mung bean soup chilled in ice water on the stone table, with There are a few plates of red, green and green fruit spots, which look very fresh and refreshing.

I froze for a moment and looked up at him.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. You've been walking for a long time, so you should drink something cold to get rid of the heat."

I took the mung bean soup he handed me and took a sip. It was really cold and refreshing, and the slightly sweet taste was just right. It was sweet but not greasy. I smiled and said, "Mmm, it's really delicious."

"If you like to drink, you can ask the Imperial Dining Room to make it later, but don't drink too much because it's cold, and be careful of hurting your stomach."

"Ah."

He woke up and it had been more than a month.

Over the past month or so, my relationship with him is like this bowl of mung bean soup, with a slightly sweet taste, which is obviously so light, but it penetrates into my heart bit by bit.

I almost didn't recognize the man in front of me.

It's not that he didn't think about what this ambitious and talented man would do when he woke up again and took power again. He had always dreamed of going west and unifying the Central Plains. At this time, he probably wouldn't let go.

However, I guessed wrong.

In the past month or so, except for the first few days, he took some time to adapt to his stiff body and the changes in the general situation. Then, he completely calmed down and became my husband.

In the morning, he will bow his head as soon as I open my eyes, and imprint warm kisses on my eyelids; when eating, he will quickly know my likes and dislikes, and put my favorite dishes in my cupboard one by one. at night, he would hug me gently and fall asleep peacefully; and when I was awakened by a nightmare, he would hug me vigorously with his strong arms until all the haze in my heart was driven away.

Sometimes, I even suspect that during his coma, half of his soul was taken away. The body in front of him, without the emperor's ambition to dominate, is only left with the gentleness and consideration of a man.

But I know that there are some things that cannot be forgotten, even if the soul leaves, it cannot be erased.

So, we all deliberately avoided it.

I slowly sat beside him, leaning into his arms, watched him leisurely turn a page of the book, and asked, "What are you reading?"

"Ancient poetry."

"Oh?"

I raised my head in his arms, and saw a few lines of small seal characters on the snow-white pages——

I am not born, but I am old.

You hate my late birth, I hate your early birth.

My face suddenly changed.

And he seemed to have sensed something, quickly closed the book, stretched his waist, and said lazily: "Well, after reading for a long time, I'm also stiff, it's time to rest."

After finishing speaking, he put the collection of poems on the table, picked up a piece of crystal tuckahoe cake and ate it.

The sun shone in through the shaded green leaves, and it was spotty on the person's body, with a smoky heat, but my face and his face were a little pale for some reason. After an unknown period of time, I said softly : "Why don't you ask, where did I just go?"

He looked up at me, smiled, and shook his head.

I also smiled slightly.

In fact, there is no need to hide it from him, nor is it possible to hide it from him.

When they were in the Xuanwu Kingdom, the news brought back by Alang and Luo Muna was not false. During the period when Ling Shaoyang falsely issued an obituary, the members of the Nangong family did return to Zhaoye, contacted several ministers in the court, and proposed to set up a new The Privy Council, a military and political organization, and Nangong Yu, was directly promoted to the Left Privy Envoy, controlling the military and political power of Qinglong Kingdom.

Such a lightning-fast speed has indeed revealed many things to the world.

And today is the day when Prince Nangong re-enters the imperial city.

In Daiyue Pavilion, I saw that familiar figure again, wearing a dark blue gown with a tight jade belt, making him look thinner and taller.

He once said that he would invite himself back to Huancui Mountain Villa and never see me again for the rest of his life. I believe he was determined at that time, but, at this moment and at that moment, when he learned of those fragments from eight years ago at the entrance of Helian City At that time, I had vaguely foreseen today.

The affairs of the world are really involuntary.

I walked over and saw him slowly turn around and look at me.

He became thinner, and the contours of that clear and handsome face became deeper, and he lost a bit of the elegance of an idle world, but more mature and restrained.

He was obviously still him, yet he seemed to be a complete stranger.

"Thinking."

"Nangong."

After calling the other person's name, we didn't speak again, as if something unspeakable was lying in front of us, and the moon pavilion suddenly fell into a deathly silence, as if we could hear the other person's heartbeat .

After thinking about it, I stretched out my hand and handed the kit to his eyes.

Those clear pupils turned black at this moment, as if something had flashed by, he didn't immediately reach out to take it, but looked at me: "Do you know what this means?"

I smiled faintly.

Of course I know, in Xuanwu Kingdom, I knew it when I took over them from Heliancheng; but in the current situation, the Nangong family controls the government, power is in the hands of the government, and they are actively preparing for war, but Chu Feng has no movement at all. The imperial power fell aside; Ling Shaoyu ascended to the palace as the prince of Jian Guo, but he was young and immature, and he was completely unable to compete with several ministers.

Today, when he enters Beijing, everything has been sealed.

but--

"I just do what I'm supposed to do."

He looked into my eyes, after a long time, finally reached out his hand slowly, and took it.

"Thank you, Xingsi."

After saying this, he suddenly seemed to remember something, looked at me and said, "Is this the last time I call you that?"

I smiled and said, "Nangong, this is probably the last time I'll call you that."

His face seemed to froze for a moment, looked at me, and then smiled.

I also smiled.

I raised my head and stared at him silently. He still had a smile on his face, but when he stared at me like that, he could feel the helplessness and pain in his heart that couldn't be concealed.

We all tried our best.

The two of them faced each other silently like this, the sun above the head was so dazzling, but it cast a gentle and peaceful shadow on the earth, it seemed that there was no popularity in the silent imperial city, but between the heaven and the earth, only me and him were left Between, this little space.
