Chapter 537: Leaving the Past Behind
"Well, since you have answered like this, I have nothing more to say. After the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info send you back to the palace, what should this gorgeous lady do? Xiao Shengxia coughed coldly, and then took the initiative to cut off the topic. He knew that properly suppressing his sword would go off the rails, and his shift in the topic also happened to erase Emperor Xiao's embarrassment.
"She, just let her stay here for the first time, and let Hou Zhen send people to bring her back to the Holy Division." Emperor Xiao said, glancing at the gorgeous dress that was stunned on the ground with disgust. This decision was sincere and decisive enough, but I can understand. Because after all, he was deceived by the person lying next to him for so long.
"Do you really want to be so ruthless? Isn't she your favorite concubine? Xiao Shengxia asked as if tentatively, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked him up and down with a very awe-inspiring look.
"Do I really hate it, I don't do enough than she framed your mother to death." Emperor Xiao said, and there seemed to be a creaking sound between his teeth. It seems that years of physical companionship are still not enough to cover up the once monstrous disaster.
"That being said, you put her here, and I don't know if something unpredictable will happen." Xiao Shengxia still worries too much, has he forgotten that I am still here?
"What did she do, and you're still worried about her life or death?" Emperor Xiao was really stunned for a moment, and his trembling words were reluctantly squeezed out. After all, he hadn't had a routine in-depth conversation with the son in front of him for many years, and he couldn't see clearly what his son was thinking.
"I'm worried that if she dies easily, it won't be the result I want." A trace of unfathomable gaze flashed in Xiao Shengxia's deep eyes, and the solemn atmosphere was even more permeable because of his words.
"Okay, then I'll take her back to her dormitory first, and then I'll go to court tomorrow, and I'm making a decree to dispose of her?" Emperor Xiao thought about it for a while, and finally came up with such a response.
"I'm afraid it's still inappropriate, she's in a coma now, and you don't know when your physical condition will recur, so it's hard to do it yourself." At this time, these two people had a problem for the disposal of this woman, and since this is the case, they have to help me with friendship.
I walked to the door and silently pulled up my invisibility spell, which was a little obtrusive, but at least it would make things go faster.
"Are you in a dilemma? Shall I, then, take this woman back to where she belongs? "I swear that sincerity is heard." This...... Is this safe? "Emperor Xiao still has some scruples, and I have the cheekiness to play a package ticket with him.
"Yes, I brought her from her temple when she came here. Isn't it safe to hurt or damage~" I patted my chest and pretended to be proud of the guarantee, and Emperor Xiao finally nodded and agreed.
"Okay, then I'll take her away, and I'll definitely keep her safe for the time being." After saying this, I pulled up the fainting dress, and then helped her unconscious to the door. This woman looked so delicate, and the actual weight was really not light, and after helping her for a while, I was already sweating.
But this little effort is worth it, and between their father and son, there is finally one less troublesome person. Thinking like this, my walking pace suddenly quickened a little, but I don't know if my good intentions can be understood by the father and son. And then communicate well and communicate feelings or something?
"How's it going, you're still not at ease?" Xiao Shengxia asked, but it seemed to see through the thoughts of the person in front of him, and the thoughts of father and son were often figured out, so Emperor Xiao didn't argue much.
"Don't talk about that, let's go, didn't you say you were going to send me back to the palace? The night was gloomy, I was getting old, and my vision was blurring. Emperor Xiao said with a turning point, his hand also thinking about holding the arm of the person beside him.
Xiao Shengxia was still keen, as if he sensed that his hands were about to put on him, so he reflexively avoided it. Emperor Xiao's palm fell into thin place inexplicably, and the loss in his heart also arose, he looked at his palms, and then tightly withdrew his cuffs.
The two walked side by side, walking towards the palace, and when they reached the palace gate, they were already surrounded by many royal guards.
They searched around until their eyes were focused, until they could see the person who was slowly approaching them.
"Look, that's Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty." The guard, who was looking from afar, shouted first, and his voice successfully diverted the looking eyes of everyone, and he cast his gaze together, which was more affirming the reality of what he saw.
"It's Your Majesty, but there is another person next to him, he can't see his appearance clearly, Your Majesty, he, he won't be held hostage by someone." An abrupt voice sounded, but the relaxed mood of the people around them was raised again, and the blades in their hands rose slightly to the side, as if they were ready to step forward at any time to attack.
"You all disperse to me, and the blades in your hands are all withdrawn, and this one next to me is my seventh son, don't you even have this bit of eyesight?" Emperor Xiao said, and everyone immediately did as he said.
The two of them continued to walk, and they were inevitably stared at along the way, but in addition to being a little uncomfortable being scrutinized, they didn't dare to ask a few more questions, after all, the emperor's affairs are not something that they have the right to ask about as subordinates.
"All of them are in their respective duties, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were injured today are allowed to rest for two days to recuperate." "Yes, my subordinates obey the orders and deserve the holy will of His Majesty." The leader of the guards spoke first, and when he finished speaking, he led his men to evacuate the outside of the temple with the whole team.
Seeing that the crowd of people was finally dispersed, Emperor Xiao walked into the palace with Xiao Shengxia with a relaxed face.
"Slaves and maidservants greet the Holy One, Your Highness." The maidservants in the palace saw the two who had returned late, and hurriedly paid their respects. They were just in a daze, but they almost didn't notice the hurried return of the "Xiao family's father and son".
"Get up, you go out first, and then tell the imperial dining room to make some delicious pastries and send them, I, I want to talk to Xia Er today." Emperor Xiao ordered, and was immediately rejected by Xiao Shengxia.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to bother so much, I can only sit here for a moment at most." Such a sentence suddenly made the maid who was standing in place waiting for her life look a little embarrassed. She hesitated, as if she was still waiting for a sure word. "Then you go and get a pot of butterfly leaves to soak in my Tong Xia'er." Emperor Xiao pursed his lips, but finally changed his mind temporarily.
The maidservant nodded, and did as she was told. And Xiao Shengxia cooperated to do it on the chairs and stools in the hall, waiting for the so-called talks. "Why did you sit next to me, why did you keep such a strange distance from me?" Emperor Xiao's eyes tightened, and the range of frowning brows dropped even more.
"Holy Lord, I want to know that although I don't blame you for the time being, if we get along with each other like ordinary father and son, I may not be able to do it immediately. It's like playing with wood carving when I was a kid and accidentally pierced the sawdust into my skin, which I didn't pull out at that time, and I don't have a chance to pull it out now. ”
Xiao Shengxia said, his hands gently touched the buttresses on both sides of the chair.
If this kind of behavior had been placed in the past, Emperor Xiao would definitely not have cared about it, but now, he observed all the actions of this son deeply, he saw it and then swallowed his throat, and finally continued to ask what he cared about in his heart.
"This ...... What kind of equivalent is this, when you say sawdust, do you mean that there is a thorn in your heart? Emperor Xiao asked, and his body slowly moved away from the dragon couch. He walked with a stride, and then deigned to sit down on the stool directly opposite him.
"Don't fail to speak, answer me, I am now facing you head-on, equal, you should give me an answer. Say, "Does that thorn mean me?" “
Xiao Shengxia didn't expect to be repeatedly asked like this, he lowered his head and pondered, and then replied: "Holy Lord, you are wrong, there is indeed a thorn in my heart, but it is not targeted at you. He's just a thorn in my years of disappointment, and he won't go away for a while. ”
"Then, if I am willing to accompany you and remove him, are you willing, or will you give me such a chance?"
Xiao Shengxia didn't expect him to ask in advance, his eyes were complicated, and his lips were also in a state of wanting to speak silently.
"Xia'er, don't panic, I'm too anxious, I shouldn't force you. Since you're here today, why don't you discuss with me what to do with that slut? Seeing that Xiao Shengxia's face gradually became embarrassed, Emperor Xiao changed the topic considerately.
When he was like this, he really wanted to be an ordinary father, and he couldn't solve Xiao Shengxia's dilemma at all. He just wants to go back to his house and sleep well, but the person in front of him doesn't seem to be going to make his heart feel good tonight.
He frowned, and then he still planned to state his position as soon as possible, otherwise the time here tonight would be really wasted.
"Holy Lord, listen to me, there are too many things that have happened today, you and I should have a good rest. You see, it's getting late, and my head is really hurting, so don't ask me about that person. Can you let me go back? ”
After saying this, he was like an empty balloon, and he sat on the stool with a pale face. With him like this, Emperor Xiao saw it in his eyes, and his heart finally became soft, he stood up and walked towards Xiao Shengxia with his steps......
"Okay, you go back, tomorrow to the court, I hope to see you look much more energetic. My son can't be as sick as I am. Emperor Xiao seemed to be laughing at himself, but he touched Xiao Shengxia's weakness.
Indeed, he has lost his mother forever, does he still have to remember the grievances of his youth and watch his father, who is related to him, leave together?
No, he can't be so selfish, Xiao Shengxia thought, and then clenched his fists and stood up. He pressed Emperor Xiao's weak shoulders, and then said to him intently: "You have a good rest now, doesn't it mean that your condition only needs dragon qi?" ”
"Then, when you go to court tomorrow, don't be in a hurry to deal with my mother's concubine, or let all the brothers and younger brothers go together to verify whether they have dragon energy. After all, your current body is more important than anything else. ”
After listening to this sincere concern, Emperor Xiao was moved by tears flowing down his increasingly thin cheeks. In his imperfect life, it was undoubtedly a blessing to be able to have such a child again. Emperor Xiao thought, and then nodded gratefully.
"Well, it's really too late now, so I'll take my leave. As for our relationship, both sides are doing their best. After Xiao Shengxia finished speaking, he removed the hands that were on Emperor Xiao's shoulders. I will, you might as well go back and rest sooner. The two looked at each other, and the eyes of both sides had changed a lot compared to before.
Xiao Shengxia walked out of the palace gate, and happened to bump into the palace maid who brought tea, and after he left a sentence of "he will taste it again in the future", his figure disappeared into the dark night. "Your Majesty, what should I do with this tea, don't you need a slave to invite His Royal Highness the Seventh back?" The maidservant was still quite concerned about Emperor Xiao's thoughts, she asked repeatedly, and her footsteps were still parked outside the door and did not enter.
"Let's put it aside, since tomorrow he said there will still be a chance to taste it." Emperor Xiao soothed his expression, but after a while, he wrinkled his eyebrows like a ridge again, after so many years, the relationship with his son has finally progressed, but what needs to be paid after this progress is to see the true face of another person......
He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes worriedly. This night, it seems that there will be one more thing that needs to disturb him. In addition to the guilt of the mistake of the beloved woman, in addition to the disappointment of the real face of the person next to the pillow, of course, the deepest is still resentful of himself.
blamed himself for not controlling the supervisor's emotions at the beginning, so as to carefully investigate and verify the truth. also blamed himself for his impulsiveness, a thought, and the death of a person who would never meet again in his life, who was so good to him.
Seeing Emperor Xiao's sad face, the maidservant put down the tea and resigned. She has always seen Emperor Xiao with such a solemn expression in recent days, but the identity of the maid still can't help her to ask a few more words. She walked towards her room, but accidentally bumped into the stone pillar in the corridor.
"Oh, it hurts, it hurts......" This female voice caught my attention, and I was already ready to come here to look for Xiao Shengxia. Now that I see her, everything seems to have its own certainty in the dark. I walked towards her, even forgetting that I now have the dignity of a "big man".
She screamed at me, and when I explained what I meant and fully explained how harmless she was, she answered my question. "Oh, I'm here to find His Royal Highness the Seventh, he is no longer in His Majesty's bedroom, and it is estimated that there should be half a pillar of incense at the hour." "Oh. Well, I'm going too, thank you. As soon as I had finished speaking, I swooped into the sky, completely forgetting that the magic was not yet universally used in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Ah, what the hell!!" It took almost three seconds for the maid's screams to reach my ears, and the power was undiminished, and my ears still hurt. I took out one hand and rubbed my ears, and then flew aimlessly while communicating with Xiao Shengxia.
"Hey, Qiyan, where are you? Did you go home first? I asked, but I didn't hear his response for a while. Hey, are you there? How about giving me a reaction? I cheekily continued to ask, and the belated response finally came...... "On the way, I'm ready to go home." "Huh, will you wait a minute? You're saying it's been a long road, and you're already planning to walk back and then fly with you without me? "I was amazed, I didn't expect him to give birth to such a moth suddenly......
