Chapter 182: Step by step

"In the two years at the border, I have been in danger several times, and when my life is hanging by a thread, I will think of that rainy night, when we met for the first time, and you healed me. I always want to live, live! So that even if I have half a life left, I can still meet you to heal me—"

"Whenever I wake up in pain all over my body, there is no you by my side, only cold weapons, cold killing-"

"When I look back at midnight, I can always think of the years we spent together. But that's all in the past—"

"If you want to enter the palace, I won't stop you, the first time I begged my father in my life, it was for him to leave you in front of the palace as a palace maid, and it would always be better to go over and be a palace concubine in the dark palace-"

"You stayed with your father and became a maid in front of the palace. I was fighting at the border, but no one knew how happy I was. ”

"You are a palace maid, not a concubine, so that if we get in touch again, there will be no identity barriers, morals, ethics, and gossip."

"I know you hate me, and you've hated me from the beginning! Hate me for deceiving you, hate me for being a prince—"

"I'm sorry, if you could do it all over again, would you still hate me-"

"I'm sorry, does it still hurt? It must hurt, right? I'm sorry—"

……

Gu Huafan listened to his words in a daze, a little at a loss, it turned out that she was not selected to serve in front of the emperor, all because he begged the emperor.

He was gone that year, and she thought that was the end of it......

Now, he's asking himself, does it hurt? She knew she was asking about the wound he had cut her neck when they first met.

Does it hurt? How can it not hurt? No matter how painful it is, it can't withstand the heartache of all these years.

Once, once, those are the pasts that can't be returned......

The big hand on her waist was still firmly imprisoned around her waist, the shallow breathing between her neck was slightly passed, there was some cold coolness, and there was a strong aroma of wine lingering on the tip of her nose.

"Your Highness the Seventh, you're drunk—"

Chun Yuan's blue eyes slowly fell silent, as black as ink, and could not refract a trace of light. He chuckled, "yes! I was drunk, and I couldn't see the road ahead clearly, but what I said was what I said from my heart, what I had hidden in my heart for so many years. It's me who is too conceited, it's me who thinks—"

A gentle sigh swept by, drifting in the night wind.

The big hand on his waist slowly opened away, and the warm chest on his back was immediately withdrawn, and an inexplicable coldness struck, and both of them trembled in unison.

The ancient painting fan hugged his arms tightly, only to feel that his heart was trembling, the breath behind him was far away, the slightly stumbling footsteps gradually disappeared, and all the feelings that belonged to him disappeared. But is it really just gone? After so many years, can it really disappear like this?

The ancient painting fan turned around abruptly and looked back, and all he saw in his eyes was the dark night.

――

In a trance, he came to Mu Ya's banquet, because it was already late at night, everyone simply exchanged a few words, and the banquet was dispersed. After the ancient painting fan was tied, he followed Mu Ya to Mu Ya's bedroom.

After all the subordinates retreated, Mu Ya held the hand of the ancient painting fan tightly, looked at her somewhat pale face in the dark night, and asked softly: "Good sister, what's wrong with you?" I can't keep my soul, but the night breeze is too cold and blowing? I thought—"

"Sister, I'm fine...... Gu Hua fanned back Mu Ya's hand, a shallow smile crossed the corner of his eyes, and he shook his head slightly.

"Then your face is so bad, even your hands are so cold, you have to tell your sister about something, my sister is worried about you!" Mu Ya said earnestly.

"I will, sister, go to bed quickly! It's not early, and you've had a busy day. I'm going back to the Pure Heart Hall too. The corners of the ancient painting fan lips hooked slightly, showed a smile, and pulled Mu Ya to the bedside.

"Alas! If you don't say it, my sister won't be able to do anything to you! But sister, you must be good, if you really encounter problems, don't forget that there is still a sister. Mu Ya frowned slightly and said softly.

"Got it! Sister, rest quickly! ”

Mu Ya's eyes were still worried, but she was helpless, so she had to clean up and lie on the bed.

"Sleep, sleep—" Gu Huafan sat on the edge of the bed, watching Mu Ya slowly close her eyes, gradually breathing steadily, and then sighed softly and got up to leave.

Mu Ya, who was sleeping, frowned slightly, was drenched in cold sweat, and kept calling her sister, sister, obviously sleeping extremely unsteadily.

The ancient painting fan left the Qianhe Palace with light steps, and then walked all the way to the Qingxin Palace. I simply had nothing to do all the way, and when I entered the door of the Qingxin Palace, the ancient painting fan took a long breath.

The moment the door of the palace was closed, in the woods outside the Qingxin Palace, a man dressed in white and peerless grace watched her walk in, and then slowly walked towards the outside of the palace.

After a while, he looked left and right at the scene in front of him, as if he remembered something, frowned slightly, and then strode away.

――

Chunyuan Lanxu has been back to the palace for many days, and the anger between the ghosts, snakes, and gods of the court is becoming more and more tense, the emperor is now in poor health, and he is waiting for His Royal Highness Seven to turn around, and now he has been back for many days but there is still no movement. How could they not be in a hurry? How could they not be afraid?

However, no matter how anxious you are, you have to pretend to be normal, and no matter how afraid you are, you have to laugh in front of people.

The emperor himself is not in a hurry, these days are extremely leisurely, and he has the leisure and elegance to go to the Thousand Sunshine Garden to enjoy the scenery.

Qianyang Garden is a place for the royal family to enjoy the scenery, very beautiful, especially in summer, a hundred flowers compete for beauty, everywhere is filled with fragrance, and the water is returned on all sides, warm in winter and cool in summer.

It's just that although the weather is good, where is there any good scenery to enjoy in this early winter? But Emperor Chunyuan just said that the scenery at this time is the most beautiful, the most beautiful, and the most ornamental.

It is not far from the palace, a few days away, there are people in the palace, and you can also get there in one day. Emperor Chunyuan also explained that the team should be streamlined, because the number of people who followed was not large. But the four princes are indispensable,

It has been more than half a month since he came here, and the weather is becoming more and more condensed, Emperor Chunyuan can be said to be bound to go to a scenic spot every day, with a smile on his face, as if he has abandoned all his worries and only cares about having fun.

The emperor is in a good mood, and their subordinates are naturally in a good mood, and their duty is to serve the emperor well, and they are not involved in the affairs of the court, so they can laugh when they want to.

Seeing that the emperor was happy, the ancient painting fan saw that Li Xiuwen's smile was also increasing every day, and Liufu was also happy all day long, as if everything was so beautiful and so calm.

But the ancient painting fan felt that his heart was really unsteady, and this feeling was intensifying every day, and he was inexplicably restless. Especially in recent days, her eyelids have been jumping, and she can't smile at all when she sees everyone's faces full of smiles.

In the past few days, unless Emperor Chunyuan sleeps peacefully, she has almost never left the rest of the time, carefully observing the current situation and trends, for fear that if she misses it, it will be too late.

But there is still nothing wrong with it, everything is so normal, so peaceful, normal and weird.

She didn't know what was going to happen in the future, what would happen, and now all she could do was take good care of Emperor Chunyuan, and he must not make any mistakes.

In fact, although she was doubtful in her heart, no matter how vigilant she was, whenever she saw the smile that appeared from the corners of Emperor Chunyuan's eyebrows, she would always be happy in her heart. (To be continued.) )
