Returning to the Yanwang Mansion, which he hadn't set foot in for a long time, facing familiar and friendly faces, he accompanied Gao Heng to teach Xiaoheng to read and write in front of a few cases, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he could see him close at hand.....

All this only made Cheng Jinzhi suddenly feel that everything seemed to have returned to the most tranquil and beautiful time at the beginning.

Since this period of time, perhaps out of comfort for Gao Heng's initial recovery from a serious illness, neither Emperor Zhou nor anyone else has come to the mansion to disturb again, and it seems that he intends to leave time for Gao Heng to recuperate.

In addition to returning to the palace to sort out Concubine Hui's relics, the two of them are only in a quiet corner of Yanwang's mansion, and their lives are free, calm and peaceful, as if the troubles in the world have nothing to do with them.

This short but such a rare beautiful scenery made Cheng Jinzhi really feel that he and Gao Heng were just an ordinary couple among thousands of people.

But at the same time, she gradually discovered that even if He Quan told her that the poison in Gao Heng was no longer a big problem, but it needed a long period of recuperation, Cheng Jinzhi could always feel that Gao Heng's body was getting weaker and weaker day by day.

With the arrival of winter time, the first snow of the year has fallen.

The snow in the sky is pouring down from the sky, and the pink and jade in front of you is covered with snow, and the green mountains in the distance are covered with snow, and the sky and the earth are vast.

Cheng Jinzhi took Gao Heng's hand and walked in the street market where the wind and snow were getting smaller, and deliberately slowed his pace very slowly. The two walked slowly, walking side by side through the crowd, leaving a row of deep and shallow footprints on the snow.

Because the annual winter solstice festival is approaching, even if the weather is freezing, the market is still crowded, and when night falls, it is even more joyful and brightly lit.

The soft warm light, the intertwined popularity, and the aroma of food shrouded the long street under the night fog, which made people immerse themselves in the pleasure in front of them, and at the same time, the body also added a little warmth.

Looking at Cheng Jinzhi's warm face covered by the lights, with a layer of gold edges, and the sweet smile on the corner of her lips, Gao Heng's eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his hand to brush away the falling snowflakes on her bun.

However, taking advantage of the gap between Cheng Jinzhi's head, he hurriedly brushed his sleeves and coughed twice, and the fragility and haggard color between his eyebrows were suddenly revealed.

When Cheng Jinzhi turned around consciously, he immediately lowered his arm and tried his best to return to his usual peaceful appearance.

But he knew that he couldn't last long.

"Next time, let's take Xiao Heng out together, our two talented men and women, plus a smart and lovely child, must be an enviable family in the eyes of others. ”

may have captured the sadness and loss in Gao Heng's eyes at that moment, Cheng Jinzhi met his gaze with a smile, and held his hand tightly, but suddenly found that the back of Gao Heng's hand was very cold.

"Good. ”

Gao Heng smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything more, but lowered his eyelashes, and a long sadness surged in the depths of his eyes.

The sudden loss of his son was an irreparable regret in his and Cheng Jinzhi's lives after all.

Once upon a time, he thought that there would be many opportunities to make up for this regret in the future, but now......

Thinking of this, Gao Heng pursed the corners of his lips and did not speak, and his eyes flickered, and he stopped in front of a mask stall.

Looking at the brightly colored masks in front of him, his eyes swept over them one by one, and suddenly reminded him of the winter solstice night that was as lively as today.

He stared for a moment, raised his hand and took a mask similar to the one he remembered back then, but not long after holding it steadily, he heard a "bang", and the mask that he was holding in his hand suddenly fell from his hand and fell straight to the ground.

Looking at the mask that fell to the ground, Cheng Jinzhi's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart, making her expression stagnant for a moment.

But soon, she came back to her senses and regained her smile, and hurriedly bent down to pick up the mask.

"Are you tired of walking, let's rest for a while. ”

Looking at his hand hanging in mid-air, Gao Heng tightened his pupils and was stunned for a moment, before raising his head and staring at Cheng Jinzhi.

Gradually, the light gathered in his eyes began to lose focus, and when he condensed again, he had unconsciously moved his gaze to the night sky not far away, where countless stars and dots of light were scattered.

It's Kong Ming lantern.

Cheng Jinzhi followed his gaze, and the dim light points reflected on the crystal pupils of the two, like bright stars carrying visions, dazzling.

If at this moment, God only grants her one wish, she only hopes that Gao Heng can be as good as ever, as before, pointing at the country, commanding the heroes, and reigning in the world as an emperor.

Instead of being weak and powerless like now, I can only watch, and every second I feel like a knife.

She took a deep breath and helped Gao Heng to sit down in a gazebo slightly away from the crowd, looking up at the night sky with swaying lights, and the crazy men and women on the ground who were full of expectations, but a sour heat gushed on the tip of her nose.

"I want to know, when I stood here with you and released Kong Ming lanterns, what wish did I make?"

was silent for a long time, and Gao Heng's deep but weak voice sounded in his ears, which made people feel desolate in their hearts.

"yes, I haven't asked you what is written on that Kong Ming lantern until now. ”

Although Cheng Jinzhi's eyes were red, he still forced out a smile when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at Gao Heng.

"I only wish that spring and Jingming, the years are quiet, holding the hand of the son, and growing old with the son. ”

Gao Heng said slowly word by word, his gaze fell on a point of emptiness in the night sky, like a thick layer of dust.

"Maybe God didn't hear my wish, and in this life, I'm afraid I'm going to break my word. If there is an afterlife, if you want, I hope to be born in an ordinary family, and be an ordinary couple with you, loving and loving, and growing old. ”

"I am willing, as long as I can be by your side, I am willing to do anything! I want to grow old with you in this life, in the next life, in the next life, if God can't hear it, then I will promise it again!"

Cheng Jinzhi raised his voice emotionally, and looked at Gao Heng very seriously, his eyes full of stubbornness.

She didn't know if she was saying these words to Gao Heng, or to the gods who were three feet up, or to herself who was already on the verge of collapse and unwilling to accept reality.

Immediately afterwards, I saw her stand up suddenly, hold back the tears that were about to gush out of her eyes, and rush to buy a Kong Ming lantern not far away.

"You wait for me, wait for me!"

She sat on her knees on the ground, waving the pen in her hand with all her strength, for fear that if she wrote slowly, she would not have time to hand over to the sky the wish she most longed to achieve in her life.

But the tears still dripped on the ink, blurring the font.

And looking at Cheng Jinzhi's tearful and hazy worried face, and the embarrassed and anxious figure, Gao Heng's breathing was stagnant, and his eyes trembled.

From the-for-tat at the first meeting, to the rescue of friends and righteousness, to the gradual affection under getting along day and night, until the life and death of the same enemy.....

Countless memories flooded in, overlapping alternately with this scene and blurring his radiant eyes.

The night breeze rose, tears slowly trickled down the corners of his eyes, but there was a smile of relief on his lips.

"Cheng Jinzhi, if there is an afterlife, I will not live up to you. ”
