Chapter 161: True Feelings Revealed
In the early morning of the second day, Qiyun rode away from Tongwan City with the antidote in his arms. She hurried to Pingcheng without stopping, and despite the stinging pain in her thighs, she fell asleep several times and almost fell off her horse.
Back in Pingcheng, Qiyun's whole body seemed to be scattered, but he still insisted on riding his horse through the streets, and went straight to the imperial city. Entering the city, she held the token in her hand and followed the palace attendants all the way, and did not stop until she stopped in front of the Taiji Palace. Someone had already reported to the Empress Dowager Dou, and she came forward when she heard the news. Seeing her, Qiyun took out the porcelain bottle and carefully poured out the pill.
Mrs. Dou was overjoyed, and she didn't care about thanking her, so she took the antidote and went straight into the hall. Qiyun wanted to follow her inside, but the attendant stopped her, "The Queen Mother has ordered, please wait here for a while, and wait for the summons before entering the palace." ”
Qiyun had to stop, she was so anxious that she kept walking up and down the jade steps.
After waiting for a cup of tea, a little eunuch came out and invited her in. Qiyun pulled out the curtain, but saw Empress Dowager Dou sitting on a chair, the corners of her eyes slightly red, and she raised her sleeves to wipe it. Qiyun had a bad premonition when he boarded, and hurriedly asked, "How is the emperor?" ”
"Go and see for yourself, Your Majesty...... He is afraid that there will be more than one bad luck. Empress Dowager Dou said with tears in her eyes. The palace attendants who were lying on the ground on the side wept.
Qiyun's heart instantly sank to the bottom. Through everyone, she saw a person lying motionless on the dragon couch, his skin as white as marble, and bloodless. An unprecedented sense of powerlessness filled her chest, leaving her breathless, and she feared the reappearance of her mother's tragic death.
Days of sleeplessness, galloping all night, her physical strength was seriously overdrawn, her legs had no strength, her steps seemed to be filled with lead, and she moved one step at a time before she reached the bed. Tuobatao's face was as pale as jade, and she caressed his cheek with trembling hands. He opened his eyes slightly, and said with difficulty: "Yun'er, you are here." I'm in this moment...... I'll see you again, I'...... Really happy. ”
"Buddha, I'm useless. The antidote I got turned out to be fake, and it won't save you. Qiyun said guiltily.
"Yun'er, you were born and died for me, and I died for Tuoba Tao...... What's the regret? The thing I regret the most is that I didn't make you a real Du Niangzi. Yun'er, do you remember our days in Baiyun Mountain? Those were my happiest days. Because of my father, I can't help but be confined to this palace, but I think about you all the time. Yun'er, you ...... Hate me? ”
"Hate, hate that you didn't take me away for what you did at that time, leaving me alone." Qiyun replied with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, I hate myself too, for not taking you away at that time. What is the identity of the family and country, it is all floating clouds, and we are truly happy together. Yun'er, you're so nice. I lost you, and you risked sneaking into the Xia Kingdom for me to get the antidote. What will I give you in return? ”
"Buddha, don't talk about it. Does love need to be reciprocated? ”
Tuoba Tao held her hand hard, a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes, and asked, "If, I mean if, my Langhua's poison is cured, Yun'er, will you leave me?" ”
Qiyun held his hand and shook his head, "You used to carry me on your back in Baiyun Mountain, let me ask you if you are sinking?" You say, 'The whole world is on your back, do you say it sinks or not?' 'Since I am your world, how can you leave me?' You are also my worldly realm, how can I leave you? I only blame myself for being cowardly at the time, and I didn't dare to bear the suspicion of Cui Situ. To this day, I also regret why I didn't stay with you. ”
"Great," he said, with surprise in his eyes, he sat up and hugged her into his arms, his chin rubbing his chin over her hair, "I never dared to beg for your forgiveness, but I never thought that Yun'er would have forgiven me a long time ago." ”
Qiyun nodded, choked up, "But it's too late, what about your Langhua poison?" What else can be done? Your days are numbered. ”
Tuoba Tao held her shoulders with both hands, looked at her with clear black eyes, and said slowly: "God favors Yun'er's deep affection, and the Hades Palace does not dare to take me in." I'll be with you for the rest of my life. ”
"What do you say? You repeat. Qiyun was shocked on the spot and couldn't believe it.
Tuoba Tao said clearly word by word: "God favors me, I can't bear to let me abandon Yun'er." The poison on my body has been resolved, Yun'er, you have promised not to leave me. ”
"Really?"
He nodded again. Qiyun touched him all over his body, and sure enough, it was not as cold and stiff as before, and then with his pulse, it was beating as usual.
For a moment, great joy hit her heart. Qiyun cried with joy, tears streaming down her face, and hugged him tightly.
Qiyun's soft and fragrant body leaned on Tuoba Tao's arms, and the familiar fragrance made Tuoba Tao a little excited. His fingers cupped Qiyun's chin, rubbing her creamy skin, and he couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her cherry lips, the soft and soft lips attracted him like a magnet.
Qiyun had tears in her eyes, and with a "huh" sound, she hugged Tuoba Tao's neck. Tuoba Tao was emotional, tossing and turning and kissing deeper, absorbing the sweetness in her mouth.
After a long time, Tuoba Tao let go of her, stared into her eyes, and said word by word: "Yun'er, from now on, we will be together for the rest of our lives." ”
Qiyun nodded and responded: "Well, one life, one day and one month less is not a lifetime." ”
Tuoba Tao smiled, his ten fingers firmly gripping hers, as if he wanted to hold endless love and feelings in the palm of his hand. The two remembered that from the past to the present, from separation to reunion, they felt a lot of emotion for a while, looking forward to never being separated again.
Qiyun and Tuoba Tao snuggled up for a long time, and she suddenly thought of something and asked urgently: "Buddha, have you found the person who poisoned you?" ”
Tuoba Tao's face was solemn, and he shook his head and said, "It stands to reason that this person is in the palace, but he is very cunning and can't find any clues." So far, the Queen Mother said that there are no clues. ”
Qiyun had a whim, and a flash of inspiration flashed, "Buddha, try the trick you just scared me, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”
"You mean to let me die?" Tuoba Tao asked rhetorically.
Qiyun stared at his eyebrows and said solemnly: "I and the Mo Palace Lord are in Tongwan, and I heard Helian Bobo personally say that there are three Heavenly Maidens in the Langming Valley of the Xia Kingdom, and two of them rebelled and died because they were disgusted with his tyranny. There is also one who has been lurking in Wei for many years, and I am afraid that he is in this palace, and your poisoning this time is also her hands and feet. It's better to cheat the Buddha to death, fulfilling her wishes, maybe she will get carried away and show her feet. Moreover, once this news comes out, she will definitely communicate with Helian Bo, and when the time comes, she will be able to catch this culprit by guarding closely. ”
Tuoba Tao nodded and said, "This is a very good idea, so let's do it." Yun'er, you have worked hard all the way, don't care about those things first, you can rest first"
Saying this, Qiyun realized that he was hungry. She clutched her stomach and looked at him with cute eyes.
Seeing this, Tuoba Tao beckoned someone to serve light side dishes and porridge. Next to the desk, Tuoba Tao supported her with one hand, smiling and watching her gobble, reminding her to slow down from time to time.
Qiyun was full of food and drink, drowsy, very sleepy, climbed a small couch not far from the dragon couch, and fell asleep. In a daze, she felt that someone took off her shoes and socks and tucked the quilt for her. She rolled over and fell into a deep sleep contentedly. She has never had a good night's sleep since her mother was poisoned. This night, she felt sweeter than ever.
