CHAPTER 89
"I'm here to say goodbye. ”
As soon as he sat down, Han Lang said his meaning straight to the point. Xiyan looked at him very incomprehensibly. He received the question in her eyes.
"Farewell for now. He explained. "I want to go to Western Qin with Prince Gong. ”
"Oh. Xiyan answered, indicating that she understood.
"Don't worry, I will return triumphantly, and the prince will come back safely. Han Lang assured. He went to investigate her matter, but he didn't expect that it would be related to Prince Gong, her brother-in-law. The old people in Prince Gong's mansion said that when Prince Gong went out to conquer the Zhou Kingdom, Xiyan's sister Princess Gong was seriously ill in bed, and when the concubine visited her, the princess begged the concubine to find a way to let the prince come back safely, and soon, the concubine went to the border as the signing envoy of Anguo, and later, the prince returned triumphantly, but the concubine fell out of favor, and there was no sound in the palace. Although there will certainly be exaggeration and distortion in these messages, there is some truth in them when you think about them carefully. He also knew that Concubine Gong and Princess Gong had always been sisters, but later, Princess Gong rarely mentioned Concubine Gong and didn't care much about her situation. To say that there is nothing between them, no one will believe it. When he said this, he was also tempting to see if his judgment was accurate.
"Then I'll wish you a victory!" Xiyan raised his glass, "with tea and wine." ”
"Good. Han Lang also drank it all.
"Is Princess Gong's health better?" she asked. Listening to Yan Tianmu, in the past few years, her health has been bad.
"It should be okay, otherwise, with the character of the prince, he will not take the initiative to ask for help. ”
"You seem to know Prince Gong very well. ”
"Prince Gong's deep affection for the princess is well known, for so many years, he has been taking care of the princess himself, never pretending to others, for fear of being inconsiderate. Han Lang paused, "If it weren't for Princess Gong's health getting better now, how could he ask Ying to go on the expedition?"
"Yes. Xiyan thought for a while, "As long as Princess Gong's health improves, I will be relieved." ”
"Give. Han Lang took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Xiyan.
Xiyan took it, and as soon as he opened it, he smelled a burst of floral fragrance, and the first thing he smelled was a rich fragrance, which swirled in his mouth, and there would be a fresh astringency like tea leaves. She was pleasantly surprised. One day, they were wandering in the mountains, and they once saw a few small trees, and when they passed by them, they would smell a very fresh fragrance, and when they walked to the tree, they found that the trees were full of flowers, and the color of the flowers was not very bright at night, but the taste was very good. She likes the taste, rich and fresh.
"I can't move the tree here, so I'll pick some flowers for you. Han Lang was very happy to see her intoxicated.
"Thank you. Xiyan poured the flowers on the table, letting the fragrance spread through the air.
In the candlelight, her cheeks were flushed, bright and bright, and her eyes were full of color.
His eyes were like a rain-soaked sky, clear and clear.
"How precious you are. Han Lang looked into her eyes fixedly and asked for a promise.
"I will. Xiyan looked at his young face, "You too." ”
"What, you're going on an expedition?" Chao Yan asked in horror. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Yes, we'll be leaving soon. Lei Yao sat on the edge of her bed, looking at her at a loss.
"Why? The king knows what we are doing, so you go and beg the king, don't go, don't go. She was incoherent.
"I asked for it. His smile was still gentle, but it was glaring to her.
"What do you ask?" she gradually calmed down, "are you annoying me and want to run away?" I know how much trouble I have caused you, and I will not blame you for doing this, but for your son's sake, you should not be so impulsive." There were tears in her eyes.
Lei Yao's smile was strange and helpless. "Not what you think. ”
"Why is that?"
"I am a soldier, and it is my duty to fight for Angola. He explained.
"But if something happens to you, how are we going to live?" Chao Yan couldn't understand.
"The title can be hereditary, and the king will not treat you badly. Lei Yao said simply.
"Do you think that's all we need? I want you, you. Chao Yan wept sadly.
"Princess, I have something to do, I can't waste the world for the sake of a small family, please understand. He tried to make sure she understood.
"Excuses, all excuses. Chao Yan bit his lip, "You don't want to be by my side anymore, do you?"
"Don't think about it, take good care of your body. He patiently said, "It won't be long, I'll be more careful." ”
"You go," seeing that Lei Yao couldn't be shaken, he sighed towards Yan and put away his tears, "I will always wait for you." ”
Lei Yao shook her hand and said nothing.
Lei Zhao is the age when he seems to understand the world. He inherited his father's gentleness and delicacy, and was always good-tempered, well-behaved, gentle and polite to people, and was a little prince that everyone in the palace liked very much. He didn't want to come, but he couldn't bear to see his mother's sad appearance.
"Daddy, may I come in?" he hesitated for a long time, but knocked on the door.
"Come in. Lei Yao was looking at the topographic map on the table, and when he saw Si Zhao coming in, he motioned for him to sit down first.
Lei Zhao sat in the chair next to him, his father's appearance was now unfamiliar, serious and almost indifferent, and he who always smiled gently on weekdays now looked like a different person.
After a while, Lei Yao also sat down and looked at his son. "What's the matter?"
"Is Daddy going to war?"
"yes. Lei Yao said, his eyes through the open window, looking out of the window at the small garden, hidden in the flowers, is the secret of his heart, Bharata, petals have seven layers, one layer of one color, bloom once every three years, one layer per month, blooming time is when the moon is very bright. The flowers in full bloom will be like towers, and they will always be hidden behind other flowers, except for the flowering season, which seems to be a very inconspicuous grass on weekdays. It had been several and three years, and the flower had never bloomed, and his wish to see and pick it for her had not been fulfilled. Maybe in his life, he can only glimpse one color of this flower.
His wandering expression confused Si Zhao, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" What are you thinking?
"Nothing. Lei Yao retracted his gaze and mind.
"Do you have to go?" asked Si Zhao again.
"Of course, Dad is a soldier, so it's natural to go out to fight. Lei Yao said gently.
Lei Zhao nodded understandingly. He was also worried about his mother. "I will persuade my mother, you can rest assured that my mother will take care of me. ”
"Good. Lei Yao smiled.
