Chapter 149: Don't Forget Your Promise
On this day, Yun Changfeng, as usual, wore armor and a sword at his waist, and walked around the palace with broad steps to ensure the safety of the palace inside and outside. Since he took office as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Forest Army www.biquge.info there has been no major event inside or outside the palace that can threaten the safety of the royal family, so he has won the trust of the emperor and the queen mother.
Walking to the east gate of the palace, I saw Sikong Jun, the son of the Sikong family, walking leisurely and leisurely, holding a food box up and down in his hand. Although Yun Changfeng has no deep friendship with him, this Sikong is not the same as some rich children in the capital, and he has no unscrupulous habits. Therefore, he was quite polite and polite to him.
When Sikong walked to the gate of the palace, Yun Changfeng took a few steps forward, walked in front of him, and said with a smile: "Sikong Gongzi, you are out of the palace so soon?" ”
Sikong Jun shook his head helplessly, and said: "No way, originally my son ate snacks in the Queen Mother's Palace, but someone came to report on the way, saying that the concubine was going to give birth, there was no way, the Queen Mother could only give me a box of snacks and send my son home to eat with his daughter-in-law." Hey, do you want to have a few pieces of General Yun, the snacks in the Queen Mother's Palace are delicious. ”
Seeing that he was about to open the food box, Yun Changfeng hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, "No need, Sikong Gongzi's kindness is appreciated." ”
Sikong Jun glanced at him and said angrily: "Chief Leader Yun, you shouldn't be a young man bribing you, right?" Or do you think that my son's dim sum is poisonous? ”
"No, don't get me wrong, the minister didn't mean that. It's just that the minister is on duty, and he can't eat casually, and I hope that the prince doesn't mind. ”
"Oh, I see, then you're going to have to be out of luck." Sikong looked behind Yun Changfeng, and just saw that his little guy was running over out of breath, hurriedly crossed Yun Changfeng, walked in front of his little guy, and asked, "What are you doing in such a hurry, is there a wolf dog chasing you behind?" ”
The panting little servant wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and said, "Childe, you forgot, you asked Mrs. to go to Daxiangguo Temple to see chrysanthemums, and Mrs. has been waiting outside the city gate for a long time." ”
Sikong slapped his head violently and exclaimed, "Oops, I made a big mistake now, how did I forget about this." He turned his head and complained to Yun Changfeng: "You don't know, a pregnant woman has a big temper, so she lets me sleep in the study at every turn." Commander Yun, don't you say? ”
The corners of Yun Changfeng's mouth twitched and said, "I don't know about this." ”
"Hey, forget it." Sikong shook his hand, turned his head and walked quickly to his carriage, just took two steps, turned around and smiled at Yun Changfeng: "Chief Yun, I have time to go to my son's mansion to drink tea!" ”
"Okay, I'll go." Yun Changfeng responded. The rich boy in front of him had already trotted into the carriage, and said while pedaling: "You must come, grandpa has been talking about you in my ear all day long!" ”
Before the words were finished, the curtain had been lowered. Yun Changfeng just smiled, of course he wouldn't take these words seriously, they were just a scene. The carriage was about to start, the curtain was lifted again, and Sikong Jun, who was on the carriage, was biting a piece of pastry in his mouth, and hurriedly said to the coachman in front of him: "Alas, wait a minute." Little Liuzi, take this box of dim sum back to the house, and wait for Ben Gongzi to come back in the evening to eat. Hey, you can't steal it! ”
After the carriage drove in the direction of the city gate, the little sixth son who stayed in place held the food box that his son-in-law had just given him, and he couldn't help but secretly open the lid of the box, looking at the fragrant snacks inside, and couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy its taste, "The snacks in the palace are really much better than those in the palace." ”
Just as Xiao Liuzi was enjoying himself, a laugh suddenly came from beside him, "Your son-in-law can say, you can't steal food." ”
"Bang dang", Xiao Liuzi hurriedly closed the lid of the box, although he was embarrassed, but he still said hard: "How can the slave steal food, the slave just smells it, the snack in this food box is not missing, and the slave does not steal it." ”
The snacks in the food box are indeed beautiful, and the taste is also very fragrant, he can see it clearly. didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "Take this snack back!" If this snack has been exposed to the sun for a long time, but it has to be melted, then your son-in-law will punish you as well. ”
Xiao Liuzi hurriedly held the food box and bowed his head to the Sikong Mansion, just took two steps, looked back at Yun Changfeng, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Chief Yun." ”
Yun Changfeng just laughed loudly, and then said, "Go back!" "He knows this little guy, and every time his son-in-law enters the palace, he often waits at the palace gate. Originally, he was also waiting here today, but Sikong Jun said that he should go outside the city to wait for him with his wife first, and after he left the palace, he would go to meet them and go to Daxiangguo Temple together.
When I was patrolling just now, I heard that the concubine Niangniang of the Jade Immortal Palace was born prematurely, and I don't know if the concubine Niangniang is okay now, and whether the prince has given birth smoothly? recalled that more than ten years ago, Guifei Niangniang was just a teenager, and her resolute and stubborn eyes made him remember this little girl at once. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Feng Shui has taken turns, and it has not only become his master, but also his mother.
--------------------------------
Here, Sikong Jun's carriage has already driven into the bustling downtown area, and it is already some distance from the palace. He looked at the food box placed aside, this food box was exactly the same as the food box he handed to Xiao Liuzi just now. In order to make it easier to identify, the food boxes in each palace of the palace are different, and the food boxes in the Ciming Palace, the pattern on the side is Tengwu auspicious clouds. Sikong hesitated for a long time, but finally reached out and gently opened the lid on it.
In the food box, it was not a pastry given by the Queen Mother, but a small baby. At this time, the child, with his little eyes closed, was sleeping peacefully. Sikong couldn't help but reach out and stroke the child's delicate little cheeks, smelling the unique smell of the child on his body, and couldn't help but smile. This child, with a small mouth, is very much like his mother, and will be as handsome as his mother in the future.
It's just a child, and I don't know if you should be lucky or unlucky, as soon as you are born, you are separated from your mother. I don't know if you will be able to meet again in the future? "How brave did your mother have to send you away from her!" I don't know if she is at the moment, but she is okay, has the emperor found out, has he embarrassed her?
The laughter didn't last long, and when his fingers touched the hard thing under the swaddling clothes, he pulled out and saw that it was a jade flute. She is good at flute, this is something that the whole capital knows, and he is only fortunate to hear her play once, on Wuyan Mountain, and this flute she used at that time. This flute, being able to follow the child out, must be of great significance to her! Is it a token of the two of them?
He lifted the curtains of the car, looked at the dwindling figures outside, and knew that the carriage had driven out of the city and headed out of the city. The carriage had the sign of Sikong Mansion hanging on it, so it did not need to be inspected, and the road was unimpeded until it reached an unmanned pipeline on the outskirts of the capital.
It's autumn, and the fallen leaves are flying in the air, spiraling down, and falling quietly on the ground. On the official road, there are already people waiting. The autumn wind blew his thin shirt, fluttering lightly, and the hair tied on the top of his head, a few strands fluttered in front of his forehead, with a pair of blurry peach blossom eyes, indescribable evil charm. Sikong lifted the curtain, took the food box and slowly got out of the carriage, and walked to the people who were already waiting there not far away.
The person in front of him didn't say a word, but his eyes hadn't left the food box in his hand since he got out of the car, so he knew that his heart should be nervous at the moment! He carefully lifted the food box, lowered his head and lifted the lid of the food box, brought it to him, and said softly: "People, I brought it to you." "This kid doesn't cry or make trouble all the way, does he know that his situation is also dangerous?
The man raised his arm and gently picked up the little man in the food box, his hand trembled slightly, his heart was surging, and his eyes were full of fatherly love. This is his child, the child they both have in common. Look at these eyebrows, how much they look like him, this little mouth, it's like a mother. "Child, I'm your father, I'm your father."
Sikong looked away, his eyes were full of helplessness, he was a little jealous of him, he not only had her love, but also had a child with her. God was so good to him, he got her people, he got her heart, he had their children. "It's a boy, and her name is Yexue."
The snowy night is silent, and the fate is determined by the next life. Don't ask about the cause and effect of the past, but I hope that you will always remember the promise of the day. She was telling him not to forget the promise they made that snowy night. The child slept soundly, and did not open his eyes, a small person, whose face was not as big as his palm, but it was the most precious treasure in his life besides her.
There was a hard object beside the child, and he took it out to see that it was the white jade flute he gave her. The jade flute was returned, did she have no thoughts about him? When she gave him the piece of black jade, he gave it to her. Now, she has also returned the jade flute he gave him, is it really that the two don't owe each other? But with the child in hand, how can the relationship between the two of them be cut off by returning their respective things.
"Sikong, thank you."
"Hehe, thank you don't have to, if you really want to thank you, then you can answer me a question."
"What's the problem?"
Sikong looked at Yetian's eyes steadily, and asked in a deep voice, "Can she be promised to you in her afterlife?" ”
If her afterlife is not for him, then does he still have a chance? Yetian looked at him for a long time before he asked clearly, "Do you know why this kid is called Yexue?" Cocoon shook his head before he continued, "It was because on that snowy night, the two of us promised that if I died first, she would bury me. If she dies first, I will bury her. So her next life was promised to him.
Sikong looked up to the sky and smiled, and his smile was full of endless helplessness and desolation. "In my previous life, I was just a passer-by who walked by her, and you were the one who covered her with a dress, in the final analysis, there is no difference between you and me, because the person standing beside her above board is not you and me." He had also read the stories of the past and present lives in the Buddhist scriptures, so he understood what he meant, and it turned out that there was still no him in her next life. "Take the child, leave the capital, leave far away, and never come back. These are her exact words. She once told me that if the birth of this child is a mistake and a debt, if God punishes her, he will punish her, go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pot, even if there is no reincarnation in the next life, she is willing to bear it alone. ”
"The child will leave, but I won't, I'm going to take her away, that's another promise I owe her." No matter how many times he lied to her and how many lies he told her, she still chose to love him in the end. If she had known from the beginning that there was today's ending, when she was on Wuyan Mountain, she should have gone away on her behalf, and she would not have had all the pain she had later.
"If she wants to go, no one can stop her, and I'm sure she has the ability to do that. The reason why I didn't leave was to protect you and not let her sacrifice be in vain. ”
He knew that if Mo Yu wanted to leave, there was a way. "I told her I was going to take her away, and if I couldn't do that, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life. The palace is different from other places, and it is not easy to get out. ”
"I'm afraid the palace has been closed now, maybe tomorrow, there will be a strict search everywhere in the capital, you better leave for a while! The child had just disappeared, and the child's mother had disappeared again, and with the emperor's suspicion and shrewdness, he must have thought of what was going on. When the time comes, you won't be able to stay in the entire Zhou Kingdom, and you don't want to take them and hide in Tibet for the rest of your life! ”
He nodded and looked down at the child in his arms, "It's true that you have to leave for a while first, Sikong, you should pay more attention to the affairs in the palace." Tell her, wait for me. ”
Wait, this word has carried too much suffering for Moyu. The days of waiting are the longest, and it is better to wait for the day of disappointment, than to have no hope from the beginning. It's as if he says he's going to take her away every time, but it turns out to be just a joke he told himself.
"Yetian, this is the last time I will help you. Behind me, I have carried too many interests, responsibilities, human lives, families, and loved ones, and I can't let them do any harm. So, I'm sorry. ”
"It's me who should say I'm sorry." They were friends, but not allies, and neither was obligated to do anything for him. "What you owe you will be rewarded in the next life."
"Forget it, in the next life, just don't let me meet her again. If you don't know each other, you don't know each other, and if you don't know each other, I won't have a beautiful fantasy. No matter how beautiful the fantasy is, what you can't get will always be regretful and painful. Sikong took one last look at the child and said, "I have to go, and I have to rush to the Great Xiangguo Temple." You go too, stay a little longer, and there will be more danger. After Sikong finished speaking, he resolutely turned around and walked to the carriage.
Ye Tian looked at his departing back, although he didn't say anything, his heart was still full of gratitude. He is just a scholar, just a rich kid, and they are the ones who have brought him closer to this muddy water, and his life and death are unknown. If Moyu is a beautiful fantasy of Sikong, then Moyu is his bodhisattva for him, it is she who redeems him, keeps him away from hatred, allows him to choose his life again, and gives him the courage to pursue what he loves.
She is right, in troubled times, who is right and who is wrong, who can give a clear definition. The deceased is gone, he should live well, so as not to waste his father and mother sacrificing their lives to protect him.
Until Sikong's carriage disappeared at the end of the road, he turned around and got into his own carriage as well, running against Sikong. In the current palace, there should have been people on their backs! (To be continued.) )
