Chapter 163: Unfinished (Finale)

Previous Chapter

Two days later, in the evening, when Emperor Chengzhao finished dealing with the government and came to Changle Palace again, he was not turned away, which surprised him a little. After returning from Gu Yunjin, this was the third time he came, and he didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect to get his wish and see the person he missed day and night.

He looked at the person in front of him who was curtling and saluting in front of him with burning eyes, and hurriedly bent down to help him up, "Yunjin, get up quickly." ”

"Your Majesty." Gu Yunjin spoke calmly, and after getting up, he looked at him again and said: "The concubine's surname is Yu, her name is Ziqiong, the emperor has to remember it clearly, if you call it wrong next time, the concubine will not follow." ”

She smiled, her tone was brisk and slightly complaining, but Emperor Chengzhao was extremely uncomfortable when she heard it, was she reminding herself that the woman who loved him and wanted to enjoy his favor alone had disappeared?

Gu Yunjin had already turned around and walked inside, and said softly as he walked: "The emperor hasn't had dinner yet, let's get a lotus, and order someone to set up dinner." ”

Shui Langlian happily responded and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Dinner was quickly put on the table, and after the two cleaned their hands, they sat down to eat, and the palace ladies served carefully.

The hall was silent, and the atmosphere was a little cold.

Shui Langlian and the others looked at the two masters who were silent, and couldn't help sighing, it was really different from before, thinking that when they were dining in the palace, these two masters seemed to have endless words, sometimes they could hear the laughter of the two outside, but now they are relatively speechless.

As soon as they thought of this, they suddenly saw that the mother looked at them, and several people understood, and led all the palace maids to withdraw.

After everyone retreated, Gu Yunjin opened his mouth and asked, "How is the emperor's body now?" What did Wanqing say? Can that antidote remove the poison from the emperor's body? ”

Emperor Chengzhao's face was a little unnatural, and he said hesitantly: "I...... I'm good...... Much better, it cleans up. "In front of this woman, he is not used to using the title 'I'.

"That's good." Gu Yunjin smiled faintly and continued to eat.

Emperor Chengzhao involuntarily clenched the silver chopsticks, struggled for a long time, and asked with bated breath: "...... Got it all? ”

Gu Yunjin was silent.

Emperor Chengzhao immediately panicked and explained: "Yunjin, don't listen to those people's nonsense, I took you back, not to understand the poison on my body, I am ......"

Gu Yunjin still smiled lightly, interrupted him in a gentle tone, and said, "The emperor's body is the most important, as long as the emperor's body is better, everything will be solved." ”

Is it solved? Why does he think it's getting more complicated? Emperor Chengzhao said bitterly, she didn't want to listen to his explanation, but she was afraid that she didn't believe him anymore. Yes, in the eyes of others and even her, he is the emperor and owns the world, how could he be unwilling to sacrifice a woman to achieve his imperial hegemony, but they don't know that she is what he wants most in his life.

After eating the dinner without knowing the taste, Emperor Chengzhao left the Changle Palace.

For more than ten days after that, Emperor Chengzhao would come to visit Gu Yunjin and his two children every day, but that's all, sometimes he would stay for dinner, sometimes he would sit for a while and leave, the relationship between the two was not estranged, nor was he any closer.

When he first entered Yin that night, Gu Yunjin suddenly woke up for some reason, and he couldn't sleep anymore, and kept tossing and turning in bed.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a faint sound of the door opening outside, and she opened her eyes and listened closely, as if she heard footsteps coming towards the inner room. It should be him, the imperial court has decided to send troops to recruit the enemy in the northeast, today is the day for the soldiers and horses to set off, he got up so early, it should be for the soldiers to see off.

Gu Yunjin closed his eyes again and pretended to be asleep.

Emperor Chengzhao gently came to her bed, set up the gauze tent, slowly sat down on the edge, and looked at her motionlessly.

It's easy to forgive, it's too hard to believe again. He knew that she didn't hate him, she just didn't care and didn't believe him anymore, and he didn't want to leave this regret behind......

He raised his hand and gently stroked the face carved into his heart for a long time before forcing himself to withdraw his hand.

Then, I walked to the table and wrote: All words are too pale, I can't live with you in this life, and it is also my biggest regret in this life. Yunjin, if you want, I will wait for you in the next life!

Hearing the footsteps in the distance, Gu Yunjin slowly opened his eyes, only to see a corner of his robe.

Her eyes suddenly burned, and she exhaled a long breath, staring at the veil above her head in a daze.

The light in the house gradually brightens, and a new day begins.

Before the palace maid came in to serve, Gu Yunjin got up first, and when she saw the mahogany box on the table, she was shocked, her hands trembled slightly, and she saw the Heart Devouring Gu Antidote lying in the glass bottle untouched, it turned out that he hadn't eaten it at all. When I saw the letterhead pressed under the box again, there was a roar in my head.

After being shocked for a moment, he remembered what to do, and hurriedly ordered the palace maid loudly: "Go and see what the emperor is doing?" ”

Yun'er hurried away, and soon brought back a sensational news for the government and the opposition: Emperor Chengzhao suddenly drove a personal expedition! Yin Shi has already set off.

When Gu Yunjin heard the news, he sat down on the chair weakly. Driving the Expedition! I'm afraid he didn't plan to come back alive at all.

Emperor Chengzhao suddenly drove his own expedition without warning, and the court was in an uproar. In fact, it is not without the emperor who drove the expedition in person, but all the officials knew that Emperor Chengzhao's dragon body was not safe, not to mention that the battlefield had no eyes on the battlefield, this ......

And those who know the inside story naturally try their best to let Emperor Chengzhao return safely.

For example, Gonggong Wan, such as General Gu.

General Gu didn't see the emperor early in the morning, but was invited to the imperial study by the emperor's henchman Wan Gonggong, and the two whispered for a while in the imperial study before General Gu came out, and then went to Changle Palace with something.

"Queen Mother, this is the emperor's edict in advance, the edict said that after the emperor died, the prince succeeded to the throne, and named Weichen as the regent to govern the government, Weichen is grateful for the emperor's trust, but the emperor made this plan at a young age, and Weichen is really afraid." General Gu said in a deep voice, looking sad.

Gu Yunjin quietly looked at the edict in front of her and said nothing, the matter of the antidote was already known to the close ministers around the emperor, General Gu came to say this today, but he persuaded her to find a way to let the emperor eat the antidote, she sighed and said: "The palace has given the antidote to the emperor, but I didn't expect the emperor to refuse to eat it, and the palace doesn't know what to do." ”

General Gu said earnestly: "The fate of the emperor and Niangniang are bumpy, it is not easy to get to today, Weichen knows that Niangniang is bitter in her heart, and she also knows that Niangniang is worried about the future of the prince, but Weichen feels that Niangniang is too worried, the emperor's heart has always been on Niangniang, I believe that the emperor will not treat Niangniang badly, Niangniang must open her heart knot, don't blame the emperor." ”

Gu Yunjin shook his head lightly, "This palace will not blame the emperor, and it will only blame the will of heaven for making people." The antidote is here in the palace, why don't you give it to the general, and the general will send someone to the emperor? ”

Will you eat it if you send it to the emperor again? Definitely not. General Gu said: "Niangniang should know what the emperor wants most, what can save the emperor is not the antidote, but the mother's heart." ”

After General Gu left, Gu Yunjin sat on the chair for a long time and did not move. Does she still have it?

Since this day, Gu Yunjin has never slept peacefully, every time she closes her eyes, there is a bloody and chaotic war scene in front of her, and the most dreamed of it is the picture she dreamed of a long time ago: on the battlefield where the two countries are fighting, she saw countless arrows shooting towards the besieged red figure, one by two...... However, when the red figure fell, there was no pain on his face, but a smile of relief, and a faint voice seemed to come from outside the Nine Heavens Cloud: You should believe me this time......

You should have believed me this time, you should have believed me this time......

This sentence was like a spell, echoing in Gu Yunjin's mind over and over again, shocking her with a splitting headache, and she wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to escape.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, Niangniang wake up......" Shui Langlian shook the person on the bed who was haunted by nightmares and had tears on his face in panic.

Gu Yunjin woke up suddenly, and when he found out that it was another nightmare, his violently beating heart calmed down slightly.

Shui Langlian kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and persuaded worriedly: "Niangniang has always had nightmares these days, and she can't sleep peacefully day and night, so let's ask the imperial doctor to take a look." ”

Good medicine is easy to find, but heart disease is difficult to treat.

Gu Yunjin shook his head and said weakly: "This palace is fine. ”

After freshening up, Gu Yunjin led the palace maid to walk slowly in the palace, and unconsciously came to the place where Zhao Ziwen practiced.

From a distance, she saw a woman dressed in purple with Zhao Ziwen, the two were sitting side by side on the stone steps talking, and they seemed to get along very well.

She always felt that the purple figure was a little familiar, frowned and thought about it, and asked uncertainly, "Is that person Miss Wanqing?" ”

Shui Langlian explained: "Yes, the body of the prince of the county has always been conditioned by her, I heard that it ......."

"Say what?" Gu Yunjin looked at her and asked.

This is not something unsightly, there is nothing bad to say, so Ji Hongxuan answered: "I heard that the prince of the county likes Miss Wanqing, every time I see Miss Wanqing, I am very happy, and Miss Wanqing does not seem to be bored with the prince of the county, and the two often ...... together."

Gu Yunjin was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, then smiled lightly and looked up at the sky in the distance. Fate gathers and fate disperses, love arises and falls, and the world will eventually come to its own end.

The group did not go any further, but turned into another way.

It's been five days, and the army doesn't know where it's going, that man......

Gu Yunjin looked at the gradually sinking sunset, and his heart was endlessly sad. Is this the ending she wants? If yes, why was she woken up by nightmares, why did she burst into tears, why did her heart hurt so much when she saw him hurt? If not, what does she want?

When Gu Yunjin was woken up by a nightmare again, he finally couldn't bear to cry, frightening the palace people at a loss, and the two children in the other room were also awakened and cried.

After a long time, Gu Yunjin gradually calmed down, got up and came to the child's bed, and coaxed the child to sleep with the nurse.

Coaxing the child to sleep, Gu Yunjin returned to the inner room, sat quietly for a long time, and then ordered: "Ask an imperial doctor to come over." ”

The palace maid had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and as soon as she got the order, she went immediately.

Three days later, Gu Yunjin wrote the words 'cherish and look forward to returning' on a special piece of cloth, put it in an envelope, and asked people to send it to Emperor Chengzhao quickly.

Leave everything to providence.

If he could come back alive, she would believe in his heart for her, and she would still be his; If you can't, you can only say that the fate is over, so let everything go with the wind.

After the letter was sent, Gu Yunjin never had nightmares anymore, and he was much calmer and calmer, neither taking the initiative to inquire about the news of the war in the northeast, nor deliberately avoiding it, everything went naturally.

Four months later, the war in the Northeast ended, Dacheng won a complete victory, and Emperor Chengzhao was unharmed, which made the long-standing hearts of the ministers finally land.

The night she got the news, Gu Yunjin couldn't sleep for a long time, and at this moment, she realized that the worries and worries hidden in her heart didn't exist if she didn't deliberately ignore them, otherwise, why would she be teary-eyed when she got the news of his safety, and she would be grateful to God for his kindness?

The victory of the war, coupled with the approaching end of the year, the palace is much more lively than usual.

In the laughter, the days passed quickly.

On the evening of that day, after Gu Yunjin washed up, he saw that it was still early, so he took a book and leaned on the bedside to read it, but as soon as he turned two pages, he couldn't help but start to be stunned, and couldn't help but guess where the army of the Hui Dynasty had gone......

Suddenly, the book in his hand was taken away.

Gu Yunjin came back to her senses suddenly, only to find that there was a person standing in front of the bed at some point, and when she saw who this person was, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"I'm back." Emperor Chengzhao stood quietly in front of her, smiling.

Gu Yunjin couldn't believe it, the army should have more than ten days to return to Beijing, right? But that familiar face, the snow-white hair, told her that she was not mistaken, and it took a long time for her to find her voice, "You...... When did you get back? ”

"Half an hour ago." Emperor Chengzhao sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to hold her hand, which felt as soft and delicate as in his memory.

Gu Yunjin didn't break free, hesitated, and then shook his hand back, and asked softly, "You...... Is the emperor's health better? ”

Emperor Chengzhao took out the piece of cloth with the words 'cherish and look forward to returning' from his arms, "Yunjin, thank you, your heart for me is my most precious thing, and I will cherish it for the rest of my life." ”

At the beginning, he didn't know that this cloth had been soaked in the Heart Devouring Gu Antidote, but he carried it with him every day and often took it out to see, but after a while, he found that his body had improved, and the pain was easing unconsciously, looking for the reason, only to find out that it was this cloth that saved him.

Gu Yunjin lowered his eyes and said softly: "No need for Concubine Xie, everything is the best arrangement." At that time, when she asked the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor said that this method was feasible, but it would take longer.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is because he has her in his heart, so he will carry the letters she wrote with him and often take them out and open them, so that the antidote can pass through the skin and breathe into the body. If he hadn't done so, I'm afraid it would have been a different story......

His return is the best proof of love for her; He's back, and everything can start again.

Emperor Chengzhao felt that the little hand holding his hand tightened slightly, and his heart shook, although she did not have obvious resistance, she did not dare to approach easily, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to leave, "Yunjin, I ......"

Gu Yunjin interrupted him and said with a slight smile: "The concubine's surname is Yu, and her name is Ziqiong." Gu Yunjin is from Dai Jinchao, and Yu Ziqiong is from Emperor Zhao Zixuan. ”

"Whether you are Gu Yunjin or Michelle Yu, you are mine, and you can't escape in this life."

……

The red candles are swaying, the tent is frivolous, and the people are reunited with the full moon.
