Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 32 A Hasty Goodbye

Just after the hour of the day, the crescent moon is still hanging lightly in the sky, looking distant and cold.The bell on the horse's neck jingled, and a carriage stopped slowly in front of the Yue Palace.The door curtain was raised, and two women got out of the car, one was elegantly dressed and the other seemed to be her personal servant girl, walking with her head down.

"Princess Wan."

The guards at the gate saluted the woman one after another.Princess Wan frowned, looking at the heavily guarded army at the entrance of the Yue Palace, three floors inside and three floors outside, all of them patrolling with their eyes like eagles and falcons.She sighed, and said lightly: "Father ordered me to go in and see Brother Yue off."

"Yes." Hearing this, the guards of the imperial guards made a passage in the middle for the two to walk.

Tian Yao came out to greet her first. Although she forced a smile, there were still imperceptible tear stains on her cheeks, and her eyes were still red and swollen.

"It's my sister." Tian Yao saluted.

"Is sister-in-law okay? Where's brother?" Princess Wan asked.

"I'm fine, your brother...not too good..." Tian Yao hesitated to speak, her eyes turned red before she could speak, and she said after a while, "Your brother is in the garden, go and have a look... I'm in the garden Clean up the front yard, there are not many to take away, but you must always prepare some." She took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the trembling of her voice.

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad. Father was in a hurry. After all, it was not a small crime. The punishment was heavier. If you miss brother Yue in time, it is only a matter of letting him come back." Princess Wan comforted.

"Sister-in-law would like to tell you a few words of her own. Sister-in-law doesn't blame the emperor, and she doesn't dare to blame her husband. She only hates that contemptuous actor. Although the emperor doesn't know about it, I know in my heart that it's all that Su Xiaoxiao! It's that little rascal. I don't know what tricks I used to make my husband do such a treasonable thing for her, so that he has nothing now, I am really not reconciled!" Tian Yao's eyes flashed a sternness as she said.

Princess Wan was a little embarrassed when she heard the words, she glanced behind her quietly, and only replied: "I'll go to the backyard to see my brother, my sister-in-law will be busy first." After saying that, she resigned from her sister-in-law and went inside.

As soon as he walked to the garden, he saw Sima Yue sitting in the gazebo staring at a pool of dead lotus in a daze from a distance. It was still winter, but he was only wearing a thin shirt, as if he didn't know the cold.After walking a few steps forward, he found that Sima Yue was not sitting on a stool, but was sitting on a wooden wheelchair!

Princess Wan was stunned, remembering Tian Yao's expression just now, her heart was in turmoil, she hurriedly approached and leaned over to call out: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Sima returned to his senses, seeing his sister covering her mouth in shock, she smiled a little, as bright as the warm winter sun, free from dust, but looking at it now, it is so dazzling.

"It's okay, I hurt my leg."

Princess Wan followed his gaze to look down, and vaguely saw that the left leg covered by the long gown was splinted and wrapped with a thick bandage, so she hurriedly asked: "How did you get hurt? Has the imperial doctor seen it? It will be fine soon!"

"Well, it will get better soon, but..." Sima Yue paused, and then wrote lightly: "The imperial doctor said that it will be difficult to ride a horse in the future."

Princess Wan burst into tears as soon as she heard it, and she just cried: "How can that be done, Brother Yue is going to win the battle with a knife and straddle a horse!"

"Fortunately, now Liang Guo no longer needs this king." Sima Yue smiled wryly, with a gloomy look on his face.

Seeing that Sima Yue was very depressed, Princess Wan quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "Guess who I brought you!" As she spoke, she stepped away and walked out from behind her the maid who was close to her. He put two buns in a bun on his head, twisted his clothes with his hands, and raised his head after a while, his eyes filled with tears.

"Little!" Sima Yue exclaimed, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "You are so strange, so cute!"

"You talk, I'll go outside and watch for you." Princess Wan put her small hand into Sima Yue's and left with a smile.

"You are already like this, and the emperor still wants you to leave today?" Xiaoxiao felt that Sima Yue's hands were icy cold, and hurriedly put his hands in his palms to hold his breath, and the tears could not be stopped, one drop at a time. It dripped on the back of Sima Yue's hand, and she wiped it off hastily.

"Well, after King Yue's mansion was besieged, I was still anxious that I couldn't save you. I tried to get out of the mansion twice, but was besieged by the imperial army and injured my leg. Later, I sent someone to find out that you had proved your innocence and survived the catastrophe. The king is really happy! I thought it would be best if you didn't know about my being expelled from the capital. It was because I was useless and failed to keep my promise, even if you thought I was betraying my heart." Sima Yue smiled gently, "The dude is used to it. , this is not surprising, is it?"

Xiao Xiao recalled that Sima Yue felt that everyone was warmed by the central air conditioner, and felt even more uncomfortable: "I heard some rumors in the palace that you conspired against me, but I still didn't believe it. I only found out after I confronted Sima Yu."

"Brother Huang's city is very deep, and it is said that there are many informants, so don't provoke him if you have nothing to do." Sima Yue said seriously, "This time, my plan to rob the court was leaked out ahead of time without anyone noticing it. Being known by him, coupled with the fact that my father has long suspected that I hold military power, and with the blessing of my father-in-law, Minister of War, Tian Li, there will be such a disaster sooner or later. I am careless and have nothing to say, but I don't want you to have any troubles. "

"Even if the emperor has been suspicious for a long time, they have no reason to stand still. It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't..."

"Hush..." Sima Yue put his fingers on Xiao Xiao's lips and said softly, "Xiao Xiao, look at me." He looked at Xiao Xiao's eyes seriously: "This matter has nothing to do with you, it is This king is willing to do it. You said before that this king is unable to protect you because your status despises you. Do you know how worried I am? You are a king, the prince of Liang, and he regained Wuzhou and helped his father guard Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but unable to protect the one I love, and almost let you die, how could I let this kind of thing happen again in front of my eyes?"

"Xiao Xiao, do you remember? Before you planned to escape from the palace, the king rescued you from the soldiers guarding the gate. I advised you to return to the palace and promised that I would protect you. You can be safe in the palace." Joy. You listened to my words, but this king broke his promise time and time again and put you in dangerous situations time and time again... So Xiao Xiao, this time I will pay my debt and keep my promise, even if you bleed and die, you will You don’t have to feel any guilt, you know?”

"Who wants you to bleed and cut off your head? I don't need it! I can take care of myself, don't you think I'm fine now?" Xiaoxiao hated him to death, how could he wishful thinking that what she wanted was these, and he could do it like this Pay off the debt?
Sima Yue held her hand and wrapped her in his arms, and rubbed his chin affectionately against her forehead. The remaining stubble made her feel a little painful. She heard the young man's deep voice above her head: "But I hope that when you are with me, I will take care of everything. This king knows that it is very hard for you to take care of yourself."

Everyone thought that Su Xiaoxiao was like a fish in water or survived a catastrophe because she had a good voice and a smart mind, which allowed her to get away with ease every time.But he is the only one in this world who knows how hard it is for her, every step forward is very, very hard...

Su Xiaoxiao clutched his hand, her knuckles turned white, and she couldn't say a word.

"I'm afraid I have to leave, sister-in-law is here." Princess Wan stepped forward and whispered, Xiao Xiao got up and stood behind Princess Wan, still pretending to be a little maid, only silent and not speaking.Seeing that the two of them were hurt, Princess Wan quickly sniffed and smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, my mother and I will talk to the emperor every day until he gets impatient and will let you come back!" The girl regards her father as the most ordinary father in the market, and her mother as the nagging mother in the compound. Although their family quarrels occasionally, they are always close. She believes that one day, They will also sit around a table, having fun and being together.But Sima Yue couldn't understand that their father was an emperor first, he must put power first, and family affection and love were just short-lived and dispensable things in the emperor's long life.But he still responded with a smile: "That's natural."

"Husband, the guards at the door are urging you to leave. The sky is suddenly cloudy, and it looks like it will snow, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave if it's late." Tian Yao stepped up the steps, bowed her body and saluted, and put a piece on her wrist Putting the gray cloak on for Sima Yue, smoothing out the wrinkles one by one, the movements were soft and gentle, "The salute is packed, and the servants are all ready, there are five cars in total."

Sima Yue took a last look at Xiao Xiao calmly, and then turned back to Tian Yao and said lightly: "Okay, let's go." Xiao Xiao looked at his pale cheeks that were close in front of him but could not be touched, and lowered his eyes slightly.

The sky became more and more gloomy, and five carriages slowly set off from the gate of Yue Wang's mansion, and the wheels rolled dully across the road paved with bluestones.The little heart sank little by little, bobbing up and down in the water like drowning, the feeling of suffocation enveloped her, there was no straw and no one to lean on, she just fell into the abyss little by little go……
