Chapter 358: The Dust Has Settled
I'm not rare, Lao Jiu, you shut up for me, do you think you're a good thing, it's not that you want to take refuge in the King of Chu and get a fame and fortune, pretending to be so high-spirited, heh. The Emperor was extremely sarcastic.
The Ninth Prince looked at the other party calmly, "Brother Huang, the younger brother is really asking you, let go of power, okay?" ”
"No way, unless I die."
As soon as the words fell, there was a whoosh, and an arrow burst through the air and plunged straight into the emperor's eyebrows.
The emperor's eyes were full of disbelief, looking at the man who slowly lowered the bow and arrow, familiar eyebrows, familiar clothes, but the breath between the eyebrows was no longer warm, but replaced by cold, bitter coldness.
He never dreamed that one day, he would see such an expression on the face of the King of Chu.
He no longer hides it, and he is sharp. The momentum of the body is like a pearl covered in dust, and the light is great.
The emperor slowly fell, and gradually fell into a dark sight, it was the tall figure of the king of Chu stepping on soap boots and walking step by step.
"How could you ......" The Emperor raised his hand, and blood poured out of his mouth. The king of Chu was condescending and looked at him with pity.
There was a tsunami of mountains all around, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." "Everyone knelt down.
The Emperor lay on the ground, convulsed twice, and the last breath was gone. He just opened his eyes so wide, dead, dead without blinking.
The King of Chu walked up to the highest position in the Jinluan Palace, accepting the kneeling of everyone below, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile.
This country, this world, is all his.
When the dust settles on the succession of thrones, everything starts to get back on track.
In the room, Chi Wan lay quietly on the bed, her face pale and her eyes closed. She seemed to be having some kind of nightmare, and her mouth kept babbling and her expression struggled.
"Miss Chi is fine, but she may have been frightened, so she couldn't wake up for a long time." After the old doctor checked the pulse, he arched his hand.
Xie Yutang was anxious, "How long will this situation last, won't she wake up in the future?" ”
"Not really, as long as she figured it out for herself, it would be fine."
Xie Yutang felt so powerless for the first time, and now that no one has woken up, how can he figure it out for himself.
"Thank you, doctor, come here, send the doctor out." Xie Yutang waved his hand, his face full of exhaustion.
Since she was scared out yesterday by an arrow that grazed her ears, Ji Wan has not been able to wake up, and she has been having nightmares during this time. Xie Yutang had a lot of things piled up in his hands, not only to clean up the emperor's remnants, but also to prepare for the enthronement of the king of Chu, but even if he was lacking in skills, he still found time to come back to accompany Chi Wan.
"Wanwan, wake up, okay?" Xie Yutang held Chi Wan's hand with a painful expression.
He guessed that Ji Wan should have seen the scene of his murder. She has always been very soft-hearted, Mu Zhufeng saved her several times, even if he hurt her, I am afraid that Chi Wan would have forgiven him a long time ago.
As long as he thought that Chi Wan became like this for other men, Mu Zhufeng was full of anxiety and hated to kill. But Mu Zhufeng is dead, and he can't deal with a dead man anymore.
"General, the prince invites you to come to the palace." The next person will report it.
Xie Yutang had to leave first, and before leaving, he glanced at Chi Wan deeply, "Wanwan, I hope that when I come back, you will have woken up." ”
After saying that, he stopped being nostalgic, turned around and strode away, and the voice came from afar.
"Take care of Wanwan, you can't leave for a moment."
"Yes."
Ji Wan's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. The eyes are clear, there is sadness and pain, but there is no confusion.
In fact, when Xie Yutang came over, she had already woken up, but she didn't know how to face him, so she was reluctant to open her eyes.
She felt so tired and just wanted to get some rest.
In the following time, Xie Yutang was almost busy with his feet touching the ground.
The king of Chu can be said to have handed over everything to him, Xie Yutang came back in the middle of the night every day, and left in a hurry in the morning. Now that the king of Chu is about to ascend the throne, there are many things to prepare, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
On this day, Xie Yutang came back in the early morning, and went to Chi Wan's room to see her as usual, Chi Wan had slept enough during the day, and she was very awake at this time, so she heard Xie Yutang's voice asking the maid outside the door.
"How much did you eat", "Did you get up and walk around", "Is your spirit better", everything is very small, all aspects, all asked, and after the girl answered, Xie Yutang pushed the door in.
Ji Wan waited for him soberly. Xie Yutang was surprised for a moment, and then walked over quickly, "Wanwan, why haven't you slept yet, did I disturb you?" ”
"No, I slept too much during the day, and some couldn't sleep."
Xie Yutang thought for a while, "Then I'll chat with you." He hadn't taken off his coat yet, his face was full of tiredness, and his eyes were bloodshot, which showed that he was very tired.
Chi Wan was a little distressed, and said warmly, "No need, you go and rest, you came back so late, and you have to go out in an hour or two, so don't toss anymore." ”
Hearing these words of concern, Xie Yutang's heart warmed, and he sat down on the edge of the bed, "No, chatting with you is resting." Anyway, I don't have time to sleep tonight, I'll enter the palace later. ”
Chi Wan was stunned, "Is it because of the accession of King Chu to the throne?" ”
Chi Wan vaguely heard that the king of Chu would ascend the throne tomorrow, and after tomorrow, Xie Yutang's busyness these days could be regarded as the end.
"yes, you've heard that, too? If you are in a good mood tomorrow, you can go to the street to see the excitement, and then the new emperor will go out of the city to worship the sky. ”
Chi Wan hesitated for a moment and bowed slightly, "Okay, I'll take a look then." ”
"Well, I'll send someone to follow you." At that time, it will definitely be an empty alley, and it is easy to have accidents when there are many people, so Xie Yutang is naturally not at ease.
Ji Wan smiled and didn't say anything. Even if she objected, Xie Yutang wouldn't listen to it, it was just the difference between overt and covertly.
After chatting for a while, sleepiness swept over, Chi Wan fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up, it was already bright outside the house, and Xie Yutang had long since disappeared.
"The girl is awake." A girl came in and waited for Chi Wan to wash.
Chi Wan was stunned for a moment before she said, "Well, when did Xie Yutang leave?" ”
"The general left the house when he was ugly."
When it's ugly, it's so early......
Chi Wan thought of his bloodshot eyes, and the slightest trace of distress spread to the tip of her heart.
"Girl, after breakfast, the slave will go out with you."
Thinking that she hadn't been out these days, Chi Wan only thought for a moment before nodding.
Unlike when the crown prince ascended the throne, everything was simple, and the king of Chu was relatively high-profile, amnesty for prisoners, and the whole world celebrated. Because the image of King Chu in the hearts of the people has always been very good, everyone is happy to see King Chu ascend the throne.
Ji Wan heard a lot of discussion around her, mostly words of praise.
"The prince of Chu is merciful, and his accession to the throne is a good thing for the people."
"Yes, I have also heard of the wisdom of the prince, and now that he is the emperor, I hope he can do more things that are beneficial to the people."
"What about the original emperor?"
"Shhh
Chi Wan listened lightly, her eyes were neither sad nor happy.
After watching the excitement, she came back, Xie Yutang was at least busy until the second half of the night, and Chi Wan still underestimated the degree of dependence of the King of Chu on Xie Yutang, and she waited until the next morning to see Xie Yutang with a tired face.
Looking at the blue and black under the other party's eyes, Chi Wan's words suddenly became speechless.
"Huh? Wanwan, why did you get up so early today, did you have breakfast? Xie Yutang didn't know that Chi Wan had waited for him all night, and rubbed his sore eyebrows as he spoke.
Chi Wan's lips kept moving, and after a long while, she sighed faintly, "No, I want to wait for you to come back and eat together." ”
Well, let's talk about it later.
And hearing Chi Wan's words, Xie Yutang's eyes lit up, Wanwan was caring about him!
This thought filled his heart, and swept away the fatigue of his days.
The two of them finished their breakfast with their own thoughts, and Xie Yutang hurriedly went out again. King Chu can't leave anyone, if it weren't for the other party knowing that he was thinking about Chi Wan, I'm afraid he wouldn't even let him come back for this little time.
Time passes quietly in busyness and fulfillment.
The king of Chu ascended the throne, reduced taxes for three years, added Enke, and also abolished a series of previous severe punishments, promulgated a lot of new policies, and for a time, the government and the opposition were jubilant.
However, none of this has anything to do with Ji Wan.
She lived in the General's Mansion for a long time, and she didn't mention it when Xie Yutang was busy before, but now that the other party is busy, she proposed to leave.
"Leave? Where are you going? Xie Yutang's hands paused, his eyes sharp.
Chi Wan was a little flustered by him, and couldn't help but look away, "I've been bothering you here for too long, I'll find a place to live......"
"No interruption, you continue to live."
Chi Wan bit her lip, and what else to say, Xie Yutang said directly, "Wanwan, I can't let you go out to live." ”
These words are extremely domineering, but Chi Wan knows that Xie Yutang is a person who does what he says, and he generally doesn't say what he can't do.
Chi Wan, who couldn't resist Xie Yutang, stayed in the General's Mansion like this.
Xie Yutang watched her recover day by day, and he was also very happy, but he didn't know that Chi Wan was not really relieved in his heart. She often had nightmares at night, dreaming that Mu Zhufeng came to her covered in blood, and told her that she was reluctant to give her up, and if she had a next life, she must be the first to be with her.
Ji Wan often woke up sweating profusely, and her expression became more and more haggard, Xie Yutang finally sensed that something was wrong and asked if Chi Wan was uncomfortable.
"Nope." Ji Wan refused to tell him more.
Xie Yutang's expression was serious, "Wanwan, don't hide it from me, I'll be worried." ”
Chi Wan said, "It's really okay, don't think about it." ”
She knew that although Xie Yutang didn't say it, she was still a little jealous of Mu Zhufeng in her heart, and if she knew that she was still thinking about Mu Zhufeng in her heart, she would probably go crazy. Although, she didn't mean it that way.
