Chapter 61: Parting
γChapter 61 FarewellγYou have to come back
This voice was very loud, not only the people in the courtyard, but even Duan Baiyue, who was in a coma, woke up.
I just woke up, but I didn't open my eyes.
On his side, Chu Yuan put on his robe and hurriedly walked out. Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Duan Baiyue opened her eyes and looked at the top of the bed, as if she was thinking about something.
Duan Yao stood in the courtyard, panting.
"Got it?" With messy hair, Nanmo rushed over from next door, and even wore only one shoe, and he was very anxious at first glance.
"Yes." Duan Yao took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, "This is it." β
"Give it to me quickly." Before Chu Yuan stretched out his hand, Nan Mo Xie took the first step to take the thing in his hand - after all, it was a fake, and it was not good to show it too much, and it was better to hide it or hide it.
"Is it Celestial Sand?" Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Yao nodded, then shook his head again: "I can't say." β
Chu Yuan said: "Who got it from?" β
Duan Yao replied simply: "White-eyed Immortal." β
Chu Yuan said: "I've never heard this name before. β
That's right if I haven't heard of it, it's made up in the afternoon. Nan Moye opened the cork and sniffed it, and said, "Take some and try it first." β
Chu Yuan was suspicious: "I'm not even sure what this thing is, can I really try it?" β
"The emperor doesn't have to worry." Nanmo said heretically, "The white-eyed immortal has no grudge against the Southwest Mansion, and this time it is also to make a deal with me, so he is willing to sacrifice this thing." Besides, even if it were to test the medicine, I would be fully prepared and would definitely not risk my apprentice's life. β
Speaking of this, Chu Yuan only nodded.
Nan Mo Xie took the small porcelain vase and entered the bedroom.
Chu Yuan originally wanted to follow up, but was stopped by Duan Yao and said, "When Master is healing, he doesn't want outsiders to disturb him. β
Nanmo closed the door with his backhand in time.
Chu Yuan stood in the courtyard and didn't speak for a long time.
He would never have imagined that the Tianchensha he had been looking for would appear so easily. It's just that although the antidote has been found, there is no sense of relief, but I feel even more bottomless.
Duan Yao stood beside him, and he didn't dare to speak out at first, but he kept looking at him cautiously, and he was really worried that he would be cranky, so he said: "In fact, for so many years, the Southwest Mansion has sent many people to look for Tianchensha outside, and the south of the world and the north of the desert overseas. β
Chu Yuan came back to his senses and nodded: "Xiao Jin also said that finding this medicine depends on fate, maybe when you can find it in a small shop on the street." "The voice is very low, more like I want to say it to myself, maybe it is really the antidote, after all, after looking for so many years, I should always find it.
"Jiren has his own nature." Duan Yao said, "Brother will be fine." β
Chu Yuan smiled reluctantly and said, "Hmm." β
Inside the house, Duan Baiyue asked, "What the hell is this?" β
Nanmo said: "Chicken dung." β
Duan Baiyue decisively stuffed the bottle back to him.
"Take it first." Nan Mo Xie took out two pills from his sleeve, "It can make your pulse phase a little calmer these days." After all, if you take the so-called "antidote", it is not good to say that there is no improvement at all.
Duan Baiyue said: "This trip is due to a master. β
"I just hope you can survive this catastrophe safely." Nan Mo said evilly, "Yao'er has already sent someone to send a message to the Shadow Chasing Palace today, and it is estimated that Xiao Wu will return to the Southwest Mansion one step ahead of us." β
"Over the years, I haven't done anything for him as an elder brother, but I have bothered him to do a lot of things for me." Duan Baiyue sighed.
"If you can have half a good life, then thank God." Nanmo patted him on the head. A person who has been working hard for more than 20 years, can't help but be the king of the southwest, not to mention the poisoning Gu, his sweetheart is still thousands of miles away, and he can't even walk on the street together. The other was at ease when he was young, went to the Shadow Chasing Palace with his own wishes, married a good girl as a daughter-in-law, and got twin fat sons in the first year, who was strong and tall, tall and handsome. The two of them are lined up like this, and anyone who sees it can't help but sympathize with the one on the left.
Duan Baiyue closed her eyes slightly, and after her breath stabilized, she said, "Okay." β
"This last scene, do a little more." Nanmo evil advised, "Don't let him worry anymore." β
"Nature." Duan Baiyue smiled, "Master Lao bothered about this kind of thing. β
Also. Nan Mo Xie thought while opening the door, but he was afraid that even if he had his last breath left, he would say that it was okay with an affectionate face.
It's all sung like this in the troupe.
"How's it going?" Chu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward.
Nanmo said: "It seems that it is really the antidote. β
"Really?" Duan Yao was ecstatic first, after all, he had rehearsed more than a dozen times.
Nanmo said: "The pulse has stabilized a lot, and the stinging pain in the heart has subsided a lot. It's just that after all, the golden silkworm thread has been in the body for too long, and it has hurt the foundation somewhat, and it is not suitable to remove it suddenly this time, so it is better to go back to the southwest ice room to recuperate quickly. β
"That's fine." Duan Yao said, "As long as the golden silkworm thread can be cured, the rest of the qiΔ is easy to say." β
"Let's go in and have a look." Nanmo evil sideways.
Chu Yuan walked inside, and Duan Yao also hurriedly followed, but was dragged by the master: "What are you making a fuss about." β
Duan Yao's chest was tight, how could she say that she was joining in the fun, shouldn't she be concerned about her brother.
Nanmo covered the door for the two of them, and then carried the little apprentice to the courtyard, complaining in a low voice: "On weekdays, I am covered with tears all day and night, and I don't squeeze two drops to fill it at critical moments." "It's better to be more ecstatic.
Duan Yao thought to herself, my brother didn't eat anything good, he almost ate, this kind of thing can be happy.
Duan Baiyue leaned on the bed and stretched out her hand at him with a smile.
"How are you?" Chu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed.
Duan Baiyue said: "It's much better." β
Chu Yuan shook his wrist and tried his pulse, then put his ear to his heart, listened to his heartbeat again, and didn't even blink his eyes for a long time.
Duan Baiyue smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head: "This time I really look like a little fool." β
"It seems to be a little smoother than before." Chu Yuan looked at him, "Is it really Tianchensha?" β
Duan Baiyue said: "There shouldn't be a mistake. β
Chu Yuan said: "It's okay if you're fine." β
"Even if you solve the poison of the golden silkworm thread, you still have to go back to the southwest first." Duan Baiyue said, "The retreat practice is as short as one year, and it may be even longer if it is long. During my absence, Duan Nian will always stay in the royal city, and you can find him at any time. β
Chu Yuan shook his head: "It's all said, you don't have to leave someone to protect me." β
"It's not just to protect you, it's to give me peace of mind." Duan Baiyue said, "Duan Nianda grew up in the Southwest Mansion when he was a child, and he hasn't been to a few prosperous places, so there is just a reason for him to live a luxurious life in a big place for two years, and you are not allowed to treat him badly." β
Chu Yuan pushed him: "Hmm." β
"Alright, kiss one more." Duan Baiyue said, "Then go back to the palace, I don't want you to see me being sealed." β
Chu Yuan said: "Sealed in a wax shell, what does it look like." β
Duan Baiyue said: "That's not going to happen. β
Chu Yuan smiled, pinched his chin, and leaned in to kiss him.
Duan Baiyue stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his waist and pulled the person into her arms, her lips tightly together, and the tips of her tongues crossed each other's teeth, with familiar sweetness and peace of mind.
The kiss lasted longer than any previous intimacy, and the thought of the coming parting made me wish that time would stop and not pass a moment.
Duan Baiyue let go of the person, leaned in and kissed him lightly on the forehead.
Chu Yuan looked at him, his heart aching faintly.
"Take care of yourself." Duan Baiyue's thumb rubbed his reddish eyes, "Don't stay in the imperial study all night long, your body is your own, you have to eat meat, don't conflict with those old men for the southwest, let them scold if you love to scold, everyone is a lot old, and they can't live for a few years, don't you say?" β
Chu Yuan looked away and said, "Okay." β
"Let's go back." Duan Baiyue said, "If it's a little later, it should be dawn when I go back." β
Chu Yuan leaned in and hugged him, his chin rested on his shoulder, his arms tightened, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Feeling the wetness on his shoulder, Duan Baiyue patted him on the back: "I said it before, be obedient." β
"I'll wait for you to come back." Chu Yuan's voice was hoarse, "I'll wait for as long as I want." β
Listening to his trembling voice, Duan Baiyue pinched his palm, and after a long time, he said, "Okay." β
"You're coming back." Chu Yuan repeated it again, and he didn't know who he was talking about. Although Tianchen Sha has been found, the poison of the golden silkworm thread has been solved, and the rest of the things are not strict, but I always feel that a heart is hanging in the air, and the bottom is not an abyss, but a sharp blade, and the slightest carelessness is bloody.
The pain in his heart was almost suffocating, and Duan Baiyue used all the strength of his body, almost crushing the person into the bones.
"Hmm."
Nanmo Xie walked back and forth outside, looking at the sky from time to time, and sighed again and again in his heart. Even if it looks fine now, it is a pile of medicine and silver needles, if it drags on any longer, in case the golden silkworm thread wakes up again, it will be difficult to fool. After thinking about it, I still hardened my heart and knocked on the door.
"Go back, be careful on the road." Duan Baiyue wiped away his tears with her thumb.
Chu Yuan stood up and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what he was going to say, his heart and life were on the man in front of him, what else could he do.
Duan Baiyue smiled: "Good." β
Chu Yuan closed his eyes, turned around and strode out the door. When he crossed the threshold, he almost fell.
"Your Majesty." Sixi hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Duan Yao secretly closed the door of the room, lest his brother vomit blood again and be discovered.
"The emperor doesn't have to worry, going back to the southwest is for healing, not for other things." Nanmo Evil Dao, "Now look at Yan zhΓ²ng, but people who practice martial arts, who hasn't been injured a few times, hasn't he?" β
Chu Yuan nodded: "There are seniors." β
"Let's go back." Nanmo said, "It's cold in the mountains, don't catch a cold." β
Chu Yuan looked back at the closed door for the last time, and Sixi put on his cloak for him and walked out of the small courtyard together.
Nanmo was covered in cold sweat, his knees were weak, and he almost sat on the ground.
The errand of acting is really more tiring than killing.
Duan Baiyue's condition was not so bad, she was still leaning on the head of the bed, looking at the front of her in a trance.
Duan Yao pushed open the door.
"Gone?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"Hmm." Duan Yao sat beside him, "Do you want to drink water?" β
Duan Baiyue smiled: "What kind of water do you drink in the middle of the night?" β
"......" always have to find something else to talk about. Duan Yaoxin said, otherwise I don't know how long you will be miserable.
Nan Mo Xie said at the door: "I will leave tomorrow morning." β
Duan Baiyue said: "Okay." β
Nanmo Xie took out a few white silkworm chrysalis fat insects from the bottle, which were the rumored white jade cocoons. It can spit out waxy silk threads and seal people firmly, even if there is no breathing for the time being, it can still last for three or five months.
Duan Baiyue lay back on the bed.
Duan Yao was lying on the side of the bed, her eyes a little red.
"Why are you crying?" Duan Baiyue patted his head, "It can't be auspicious." β
Duan Yao held back his tears.
Duan Baiyue said: "Being able to sleep for a hundred days is also a blessing." β
Duan Yao cried heavily and said, "Hmm." β
Duan Baiyue laughed: "If you don't want to see it, just go out and wait." β
"You're going to wake up." Duan Yao advised, "Be sure to wake up." β
Duan Baiyue nodded.
Nanmo picked up the little apprentice's collar and threw him out.
Duan Yao squatted at the door, staring at the purple toad with wide eyes, wanting to cry but being unlucky, the whole person twitched and twitched.
Duan Baiyue said, "Master, let's do it." β
Nanmo Xie sighed and placed the white jade cocoon on him.
Time flies very slowly, and at the same time, it flies very fast.
As the sun rose, the dew on the blades of grass fell, splashing a sparkle on the ground.
Nanmo came out of the room.
"Master." Duan Yao, who had been outside all night, stood up.
"It's okay." Nanmo said, "Prepare the carriage and horses, and go back to the southwest province." β
Duan Yao glanced inside the room, and when she saw the humanoid white jade wax seal on the bed, she finally couldn't help crying "wow".
It's one thing to think about it, but when I see my brother really become like this, I still want to cry.
Nanmo knew that he would react like this, and he didn't persuade him. After a sleepless night worrying about this, he was somewhat dizzy, so he sat down under the cloister to rest. After half an hour, Duan Yao stopped sobbing and asked, "Master, do you want to have breakfast?" β
Nanmo said: "When you have to cry until tomorrow." β
Duan Yao wiped away her tears, washed with cold water and hastily, and then went to the kitchen to bring breakfast back. The two didn't want to go to the dining room, so they ate and talked while eating on the stone table in the courtyard. How to crack the Burning Star Chess Game has not yet been fully learned, even if Duan Yao is talented, it will take at least half a month, so this time the Nanmo Evil Association will take Duan Baiyue back to the southwest first, leaving him to continue in the Beixing Palace.
"It's just right, go and accompany the emperor more." Nanmo said, "With you by his side, he will feel more comfortable, just remember one thing, don't talk nonsense." β
Duan Yao nodded: "Hmm." β
Nanmo wiped his mouth for him, full of sourness.
When I came to Wangcheng this time, I was still elated and couldn't wait, but I didn't expect that when I went back, I would be so wolf.
After living for seventy or eighty years, it is still the first time that I feel so sorry for my apprentice. If he can exchange his life for his life, he is really willing to go back to the grave and never come out again, and honestly close his eyes and return to the sky, just hoping that these juniors can have a good home.
After a simple breakfast, the people of the Southwest Mansion had also prepared their carriages and horses, and Nan Moxi took Duan Baiyue all the way out of the mountain and galloped towards the southwest.
"Your Majesty." Sixi said fairly, "Go back." "I've been here all night, and now the king of the southwest is gone, and it's just an empty mountain road for how long I can stand.
Chu Yuan's shoulders were covered with dew, as if he hadn't heard him speak, and he watched the convoy disappear completely before he said, "Okay." β
Sixi sighed in his heart, the emperor's eyes, but he really couldn't bear to look at it at a glance.
Duan Yao cleaned up the room briefly, and then went back to the palace alone.
The old man was still napping in front of the chess game, and when he heard the door knocking, he looked up and said, "I'm back, how is your brother?" β
Duan Yao sat opposite him and said, "Don't talk, I'll calm down for a while." β
The old man paused and said, "Okay." β
Duan Yao's eyes were red, and his chest was heaving.
The old man said: "Sixteen years old, when you encounter something, you shouldn't cry anymore." β
Duan Yao choked desperately and corrected: "Sixteen years old." β
The old man said, "Fifteen can't cry." β
Duan Yao wiped a handful of tears, my brother doesn't know if it's evil or lucky, it's not enough to cry? !
The old man looked at him and shook his head, took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it over.
Looking at the black rags, Duan Yao decisively held back her tears.
The old man said: "It's all said, learn this Burning Star chess game well, and you may be able to save your brother in the future." β
Duan Yao said, "Hmm." β
"Let's learn four tricks today." The old man said, "You can also leave a few days earlier." β
Duan Yao coughed: "Thank you, senior." β
The old man picked up a chess piece and landed it lightly on the board.
Duan Yao wiped his nose and looked at it seriously.
There was still a group of courtiers guarding outside the imperial study, Sixi waited for Chu Yuan to change clothes and wash, and then asked tentatively: "Why don't you disappear today?" The emperor has a good rest. β
"No need." Chu Yuan said, "I can't sleep even if I'm lying down, let's go." β
"Yes." Sixi opened the door for him and followed him to the imperial study. At the top of the list is naturally Tao Rende, who has been worried for several days, and this time he finally saw the emperor and made sure that he was safe and sound, and his heart fell back into his stomach.
"I've only been in Suhuai Villa for three or four days, why can I have so many things?" Chu Yuan frowned and sat behind the desk.
"It's the courtiers who are worried about the emperor." Tao Rende said, "This time, I heard that the emperor has returned to the palace, so I will all think about coming to ask for peace." β
"Anyone who has nothing to do to come to say goodbye, stand down." Chu Yuan waved his hand.
Everyone knelt on the ground to receive the order, and most of the room was empty.
"Whoever wants to ask about the Southwest Mansion can also retreat." Chu Yuan said lightly, "I don't want to say it now. β
The house was mostly empty again.
Liu Dajiong glanced at Tao Rende, listen, the emperor asked you to step down.
ββ¦β¦ Be. Although Tao Rende was full of doubts, he saw that Chu Yuan's expression was different, and he didn't ask too much, and bowed down and left the imperial study.
Liu Dajiong was the only one left in the house.
"Say, what's the matter with Liu Aiqing?" Chu Yuan asked.
"It's about the princess of Nagoryeo." Liu Dajiong said, "The day before yesterday, there was news from the other side of the South China Sea, saying that the identity of the person Jin Shu married had been ascertained, named Bu Kun, the eldest son of a wealthy family in the White Elephant Country, and the family was engaged in the tea business, and occasionally sold some deep-sea jewelry to come to Dachu. β
"The rich family of the White Elephant Country, then there is no problem." Chu Yuan said, "After tossing for so long, this time it can be regarded as a good marriage." β
"yes." Liu Dajiong said, "The king of Goryeo is also very satisfied with this brother-in-law, and even wants to go to Nanyang to have a look. β
Chu Yuan said absentmindedly: "He has some free time." β
Liu Dajiong continued to laugh.
Chu Yuan had a headache: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." β
"Actually, it doesn't matter." Liu Dajiong pondered his words, "It's just that in the past year, my Dachu's troop deployment seems to have been biased towards ...... Ahem, to the south, there are three heavy troops guarding the South Seas. So the king of Goryeo wanted to ask, but what happened? β
Chu Yuan dropped the fold in his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "What does it have to do with him? β
"Naturally, it doesn't matter." Liu Dajiong hurriedly said, "It's just that according to the meaning of the King of Goryeo, if there is really something, then he won't go, not only will he not go, but he will also take his sister back to Goryeo as soon as possible, so that he can rest assuredββ"
"That's enough." Chu Yuan's brain was buzzing, and he gritted his teeth and interrupted, "Let him go to visit his relatives for as long as he likes, and don't think about something that has nothing to do with him!" β
"Yes." Liu Dajiong hurriedly bowed his head and took the order, "The emperor must not be angry and hurt the dragon body, it is Weichen who should not bother the emperor with such a trivial matter." β
"Stand down." Chu Yuan rubbed his temples, "I'll be quiet alone for a while." β
Liu Dajiong disappeared in the imperial study almost instantly.
Tao Rende was waiting outside with his sleeves on.
Liu Dajiong waved his hand again and again, signaling him to go farther, the emperor didn't look right, so he didn't want to touch his head again.
"I just said, then Suhuai Villa can't go." Until walking on the streets of Yundecheng, Tao Rende was still complaining, "Since the emperor ascended the throne, the affairs of the Southwest Mansion can make him feel comfortable?" Not to mention that this time it was the King of the Southwest who came in person. "It's a blessing that we didn't fight.
"Scared the hell out of me." Liu Dajiong looked around for fire to suppress his shock, "You didn't see the emperor's eyes, as if he wanted to eat people." β
"I think it's the king of the southwest again." Tao Rende was worried, and he was thinking in his heart where to cut this time.
"Previously, the emperor dispatched troops, and I thought I was going to deal with the Southwest Mansion." Liu Dajiong said, "I didn't expect that the troops behind were all pressed on the coastal town, and the others were down, and even Shen Jiang couldn't figure out the holy will this time, but it was really strange." β
Tao Rende sighed. At the beginning, everyone also asked for this performance a few times, but they never asked the reason, but two of them were almost dismissed. Although the emperor's achievements in the past few years on the throne are obvious to all, the deployment of troops in the south really has no reason.
It was getting dark. Duan Yao came out of the remote courtyard, but saw Sixi guarding outside: "Little Lord Duan." β
"Why is my father-in-law here?" Duan Yao was surprised.
"It was the emperor who asked the old slave to stay here." Sixi said fairly, "I have prepared dinner, and I am waiting for the little prince." β
Duan Yao: "......"
"There are only two people, the emperor and the little prince." Sixi was fair, and after speaking, he lowered his voice again, "The emperor hasn't eaten for a day, and I will ask the little prince to persuade him a few more words later." β
Duan Yao nodded: "Okay." β
After all, my brother is not here, and the errand of coaxing my sister-in-law can only be myself and Sixi.
