Chapter 451: The Past
Nie Yao's words made him hurt more than the slap in the face just now.
It's just that the former is a pain in the face, and the latter is a pain in the heart.
After Nie Yao ascended the throne, he went to the border to garrison, leaving her most trusted guard.
In the first three years, every year she would write a secret letter asking him to return to Beijing, but each time he refused.
He felt that it was difficult for him to face Nie Yao, and as time passed, that kind of timidity became more and more prevalent.
He had an agent in Kyoto, and he would send him two secret letters every month through a special channel.
Through these two letters, he learned about all the big and small things that happened around Nie Yao.
Including what she ate today, whether she slept well, whether she was in a good mood, etc.
He relied on these letters to understand his lovesickness.
From the letter he knew that she had mentioned him several times today, and what items he had bought for her.
But one day, the letter he received suddenly changed.
The ministers asked the emperor to recruit the harem to spread out, at least the emperor should give birth to an heir himself.
The emperor did not object, and the ministers were overjoyed, and they sent the portrait of the noble son of the king into the palace for the emperor to select.
The emperor asked the personal female officials around him to change the pen holder and inkstone today.
The emperor did not go to the prune garden again for a month.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the emperor met Mrs. Liu's third son in the back garden, and the two talked happily, and the third son of Liu even accompanied the emperor in the imperial garden for a quarter of an hour.
It is rumored in Beijing that the emperor is going to marry Liu Sangongzi.
The imperial dining room has recently changed a batch of new dishes, and the emperor is quite satisfied with the new dishes, and suddenly changes his appetite, and the dishes he liked to eat in the past are no longer on the table.
……
In the past, before the day of receiving the letter, he was already full of anticipation.
On the day he received the letter, he was even happy to eat a few more bowls of rice.
However, as time goes by, the content of the letter changes.
He became more and more agitated.
In the end, he was actually scared in the face of Jingzhong's secret letter.
Because he was afraid that as soon as he opened the letter, it was the scene that Nie Yao had completely eliminated him from his life.
Such letters lasted about half a year.
And it has been reduced from two a month to one a month.
In the last few months, he did not dare to open the letter at all.
It's just that he is afraid that what is written in the letter is something that is heart-wrenching to him.
Every night he slept with the letter on his pillow, and felt that the envelopes, which had never been opened, were frayed.
Finally, one day, when the day came, no more letters came.
He reassured himself that maybe it was just that his spies were delayed and were a few days late.
But after waiting for a month and not seeing the letter, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, rushed to his bedroom, and opened the unopened letters in one go.
He watched them one by one until he finally saw the last sentence.
"Your Highness, your subordinates can't send you any more letters in the future, the emperor found out about his subordinates, and all the dark lines have been removed by the emperor. ”
He sat on the edge of the bed, clutched the last letter in his hand, and laughed out loud after a long time.
He was clearly deceiving himself.
I can't bear to leave her.
If it weren't for her covert acquiescence, how could his spies report to him every month on her life?
He cowered in a corner like this, she had given him a chance, and she had given it so long and so many times.
It was he who let her down again and again.
Finally she despaired of him and didn't want to give him any more chances.
She cut off all personal contact between the two, so the letter was gone......
From then on, she was the empress of Dayan, and he was the former prince of the border.
Irrelevant!
Thinking about the past in his previous life, Lu Zecheng blinked his feverish eyes.
Ignoring her resistance, he hugged Nie Yao into his arms again.
"Ah Yao, it was me who was wrong before, I know that I am not qualified to ask you for forgiveness, can you give me a chance to make amends?"
Nie Yao couldn't resist his strength, and was restrained in his arms, but he couldn't break free.
He seemed insecure, and the more she tried to break free, the tighter he held him.
She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Mr. Lu, don't you think it's too late for you to do all this now?"
Lu Zecheng's body instantly stiffened because of Nie Yao's name for him.
He spoke softly, and his voice was still hoarse, "Ah Yao, don't call me Mr. Lu, I'm your sixth brother." ”
Nie Yao pushed him hard, and found that she couldn't push at all, and it was counterproductive, she was uncomfortable being strangled by him, and protested: "My legs!
The word "leg" seemed to touch Lu Zecheng's taboo, he immediately let go of Nie Yao, leaned over to check her right leg with a plaster cast, and his voice was urgent, "Ah Yao, how is the leg, does it hurt?" You wait here, I'll call you a doctor." ”
Nie Yao dragged her right leg to change her position, and before Lu Zecheng walked to the door of the ward, she said in a cold voice, "If I am lame, do I have to stay away from you, that's right." Oh, I forgot, you are not Qin Mo now, but Lu Zecheng, the only heir of the Lu family in Shangjing, how can the person you like be a penniless cripple?"
Lu Zecheng's heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp iron arrow in an instant, and he was drenched in blood.
He couldn't take a step again, and today, the roles of the two people were completely reversed.
He finally experienced Nie Yao's anger, grievance and despair back then.
He turned around abruptly and walked to Nie Yao's bedside, he reached out and gently stroked Nie Yao's long hair.
He didn't know how much self-control he used to control his emotions on the verge of collapse at this moment, and swore to Nie Yao in the gentlest voice, "Ah Yao, you won't be lame, I will find you the best doctor in the world." I won't let it happen again, do you believe that the sixth brother will be good once?"
Nie Yao turned her head, not wanting to look at Lu Zecheng in front of her.
She pursed her lips with a stubborn look on her face, but she didn't say anything to retort to him.
Her almost acquiesced silence finally lit up a glimmer of hope in his heart.
His deep, dull eyes seemed to suddenly burst into a beam of starlight, and in the blink of an eye, the entire brilliant universe became a whole universe.
Fortunately, Lu Zecheng did not get carried away.
He suppressed the joy in his heart and leaned in her direction, until the light smell of her body was between his breaths, and he said slightly seriously: "Ah Yao, you moved your right leg when you were talking just now, it's better to call the doctor to take a look." You rest first, and the sixth brother will go out and call a doctor for you. ”
Nie Yao pursed her lips and leaned back, lying relaxed on the soft bed.
She closed her eyes slightly, not wanting to answer Lu Zecheng's words.
Lu Zecheng only couldn't come back to her senses when she was still in a fluctuating mood, and she was not reluctant, she was injured now, and what she needed most was rest.
He stroked Nie Yao's forehead again, turned around and went out to find the attending doctor.
Nie Yao looked at Lu Zecheng's tall back, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart: Qin Mo, do you think this level is so easy? No way!
