Chapter 46: Ten Years

Li Xiang felt that his steps were particularly heavy.

Although it was only a few hundred meters away from his palace in a straight line, he had walked this road for ten years.

He had been walking for a whole decade before he had the opportunity to appear here in the open.

The snow on the ground was deep.

Stepping on it crunched, and occasionally the dead leaves that had not fallen were pressed too hard by the heavy snow, and finally they couldn't bear it anymore and fell, and together with the snowflakes, fell on Li Xiang's body.

But he didn't realize it.

No matter how deep the snow is and how heavy the fallen leaves are, can they compare to the sorrow and resentment in his heart?

Ten years later, he has grown from a young and ignorant doll to the current city guard of Chang'an City, he has gone from a little prince who is least valued to a poet who has now won the Tang New Year Poetry Club and is impressed by the current emperor, because of his outstanding performance, the emperor also personally pardoned his mother for the drudgery of serving in the court.

Time flies.

Lots of light and shadow.

He didn't remember what he was like when he was younger.

And will his mother still remember?

The court is already in front of you.

Li Xiang felt that his legs were trembling.

Maybe it's because of the cold.

Or maybe it's not cold enough.

The cold, heavy door slowly opened.

A bright light slashed in like a sharp sword, instantly piercing a person's dark and dumb vision for many years.

Yang Lihua felt that her eyes were very painful.

It hurts.

Two lines of tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Tears glistened.

And heavy.

In an instant, it wiped out her cheeks, which had been undermaintained for many years.

There are winds and frosts everywhere, there are ravines and ravines, and there are too many humiliations and forbearances hidden.

However, none of this matters anymore.

Because, starting today, she is free again!

The head of the court bureau suddenly came to her laundry workshop today and told her that she could leave the court now.

She didn't feel anything at the time.

After so many years of silence, she seems to have lost the ability to comprehend human words in an instant.

It wasn't until the chief of the court bureau repeated it for the third time that she realized what the usually fierce chief meant.

She's free?

She couldn't believe it.

However, news soon came that because of her son's outstanding performance in the court, the emperor had exempted her from punishment, but she no longer enjoyed any royal gifts and returned to commoner.

In other words, will he have nothing to do with this huge palace in the future?

Thinking of the place where her youth and red face were left, tears began to surge on Yang Lihua's face.

The man, after all, still refused to look at him again.

Hehehe.

Yang Lihua suddenly laughed again.

The laughter was sad.

Sorrow is like an abyss.

Li Xiang looked at the woman standing at the door, his eyes had already turned red countless times, and he forced back his tears countless times.

She's old.

He couldn't even remember what she looked like when she was younger.

She was no longer the legendary woman he had imagined to be.

Listen to Gao Gonggong said, when she was young, she was also the face of the country and the city, and she was also the body of a young lady with thousands of dollars, but her father's family suddenly suffered a crime, and the disaster was innocent, she was punished, was punished and rushed into the court, and became a maidservant.

For that man, it was just an ordinary night's greed, but for her, it was the end of a woman's life's happiness.

But God had mercy on her, but she was pregnant with his species.

Although she was subjected to countless suspicions and insults, the fetus in her womb remained strong, and finally she gave birth to him.

But what she didn't expect was that she gave birth to him, but it was the cruelest punishment for him, and from the moment he was born, his fate was destined to carry his mother's shame into this life together.

Later, she was successfully framed and punished, and she was punished to the court, and there has been no light of day ever since.

And he is said to have been adopted by the current queen, which is finally a blessing in misfortune.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, she has been serving in the court for ten years.

She knew that her son had come to see her, and that she would see him at the earliest, but later she had refused to see him.

She was the beginning of a lifetime of shame and hardship for him.

However, what she didn't expect was that he did his best to see her, and until today, their mother and son finally have the moment of reunion in the world.

"Mother?"

Li Xiang finally spoke.

In his voice, there was endless bitterness and the pain of longing.

"Xiang'er?"

Yang Lihua's welling tears suddenly stopped.

She suddenly decided not to cry.

She finally saw the light of day.

She finally saw the person she had been thinking about day and night.

She felt she should laugh.

"Mother, go home with the child."

Li Xiang hugged the old woman in front of him tightly, the woman who was like a flower and jade back then, he buried himself in her arms, sobbing and trembling.

"Xiang'er, don't cry, we should be happy today."

Yang Lihua's face was still stained with tears.

The smile is also there.

"Well, mother, go home with Xiang'er, Xiang'er has prepared everything for you, just wait for my mother to go home and reunite with Xiang'er."

Li Xiang stopped crying.

took Yang Lihua's hand and left the court together.

"Thank you Xiang'er for your mother, Xiang'er has worked hard."

Yang Lihua looked at her son, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

Sunset.

The sun is warm.

In the golden afterglow, it is the figure of Li Xiang and his mother drifting apart.

"Guifei Niangniang, did this slut leave like this?"

Near the courtyard, behind a bush of dark withered flowers, stood three women.

The woman at the head is dressed in gorgeous clothes and is gorgeous, but the light in her eyes is like the most vicious medicine in the world.

She was the woman who slept on Li Longji's bed that day.

Concubine Wu Hui.

One of the most noble women in the Tang Dynasty today.

Except that the queen who has been forgotten by the emperor for many years is her. However, how can the queen who is like entering the cold palace compare with herself?

"Let's let this slut live happily outside for a few days, it looks like the story of this palace and this slut will continue a little longer, hey-"

Concubine Wu Hui's voice was cold to the bone, and her eyes looked coldly at Yang Lihua's mother and son who were gradually disappearing in the distance.

Since that day at the Tang New Year Poetry Meeting, the three princes of His Majesty the Emperor, who won the championship in one fell swoop, suddenly came out without warning or trace.

She always thought that this prince had long been forgotten by the world, so she never took him to heart, and her goal was always on the eldest prince and the second prince.

But now, she felt, she had one more potential enemy.

"The concubine is wise, where will this slut be the opponent of the concubine."

The maid beside her smiled.

"There are many mouths."

Concubine Wu Hui suddenly glared coldly at the maid beside her.

"The slave deserves to die, please forgive the mother!"

As soon as the servant girl came into contact with Concubine Wu Hui's gaze, she trembled with fright, her knees weakened, and she immediately fell to her knees on the snow that had been frozen and stiff.

"Get up, remember to this palace in the future, disaster comes from the mouth, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"

After Concubine Wu Hui finished speaking, the wide sleeves of her robe flicked, and her graceful and enchanting posture disappeared again into the depths of the palace outside the court.

The setting sun finally bloomed the most fanatical blood red.

The heavens are no longer gentle.

The remnant sun is like blood.

Dusk has quietly fallen.

However, no one would have thought that there would be a goose feather snow in Chang'an tonight!
