Chapter 389: Leaving the Palace (Part II)

(a)

The carriage jolted as the carriage moved forward.

We were in closed compartments, opposite each other.

You say, "Jean." No. ”

I said, "One day, you took me to the hill outside Yantang Pass on the moonlight. At that time, there was one thing you should have left undone. ”

You say, "No." ”

I said, "I know that what you didn't let it happen in the past, it won't happen again in this life." I know you won't let it happen today either. I just want to know if there was anything you didn't finish that day. ”

You lowered your eyes.

I'm looking at you.

I said, "That day, when you looked at me like that, I was waiting for you with all my heart." Since then, I have waited with great hope. I've been waiting. I've been waiting for it to ashes. ”

Tears welled up in my eyes. I said, "I knew I would never be able to wait for it." I'm just wondering now if it's just my wishful thinking or if there's really something that hasn't happened. ”

I said, "I just want to know, yes, or no." ”

You look at my tears. You say, "Yes." ”

Tears welled up in my eyes. I said, "What is it?" ”

You say, "I thought, kiss your lips, kiss your whole body." I thought, maybe before you get married, I can let you be my woman one day in your life. ”

Tears flowed down my eyes. I look at you with tears in my eyes. I said, "Why did you give up?" ”

You say, "I'm afraid that after you do it, you won't be able to forget me for the rest of your life." ”

You say, "I'm sorry. Jean. This kiss is what I owe you in this life. In the next life, I will definitely pay it back. ”

I said, "Well, I'll keep waiting." ”

You say, "I swear, next time, I won't keep you waiting for the rest of your life." ”

I shook my head. I said, "For the rest of your life, you'll forget what you just said." ”

You say, "No." I will not forget. ”

I said, "Under such a snowy mountain." ”

You say, "Okay." ”

I said, "In the sea of flowers that once were." ”

You say, "Okay." ”

I said, "Let's go on horseback together." ”

You say, "Okay." ”

I said, "In the light of the setting sun." ”

You say, "Okay." ”

I said, "At that time, there were only two of us between heaven and earth. ”

You say, "Okay." ”

There is a sparkle of tears in your eyes.

You turn your head to look at the wall.

I said, "You must come." It doesn't matter where I will be then. ”

You say, "I'll come." It doesn't matter where you are. ”

I said, "Even if one side is sick." ”

You say, "Okay." Even if one party is sick. ”

I said, "Even if it's not appropriate." ”

You say, "Okay." Even if the status is not appropriate. ”

I said, "You won't make me wait any longer." You'll be done with it. ”

You say, "Okay." I won't let you wait any longer. I'll finish it. ”

I said, "I will not fail again." ”

You say, "Okay." The oath will not be negative again. ”

On that day, we made a promise for the next life.

I was in tears. I reached out and untied the straps of my shawl. I reached down and unfastened my towering fur collar.

You look at my exposed neck. You see your mother's amulet. You shudder.

I took the amulet off and held it in my hand. I looked at it. My tears fell on top of it, drop by drop.

With tears in my eyes, I said, "Since the day you got married, you put it around my neck, and it hasn't left me for a moment all these years." It was clinging to my chest all the time. I've never taken it off, even for a moment. ”

I said, "I think it's more precious than life." ”

I'm looking at you. I'll hand it back to you. I said, "Brother, this is your mother's life, her love." You wear it the first day you come into the world. It has blessed you through so many difficulties. Now, I add all my life and my deepest love to it. You can wear it for me again. Wear it all the time. Never take it off. ”

You look at me. I said, "Let it take my place, accompany you, on the last journey, to the end, to the end, to eternity." ”

Your lips twitched. You reach out and take it. You hold it tightly in your hand.

You say, "Okay." I'll wear it and never take it off again. ”

As you spoke, you put it around your neck.

You put it close to your chest. You say, "Until the last heartbeat." Until the last breath. Until the last thought. ”

I burst into tears and couldn't speak.

You reach out and help me rebutton the fur collar around my neck. You help me re-tie the ribbon of my cloak.

You hold my cold hands. You say, "Don't be so upset, Jean. It's not that scary. It's not that painful either. That last moment, it was just a moment, and it passed quickly. It's like the moment you fall asleep every night. ”

I said, "I want to cross that chasm with you." I want to be with you until the last moment. ”

You say, "It's not possible." Jean. Everyone can only step over that moment on their own. My parents were like that, and so was I. In the future, you will also have to cross that moment by yourself. ”

You say, "At that time, everyone must let go of all the deep affection of the sea and rely on their own strength and courage to complete the last journey." ”

You say, "Jean." We all have to be strong and courageous. ”

Your judgment of Liu Shen is correct.

In the team that day, there were indeed eyes loyal to Liu Shen.

After the final meeting between Liu Shen and you on the northern front, return to Yunjing. On the day I returned to the palace, there was a chamberlain in my palace who went to tell Liu Shen about the situation that day.

The chamberlain said, "King Han, on the way back and forth, the general and Mrs. Jun always take the same car. The curtain is drawn. People outside can't see anything. Later, they went for a walk by the lake together, and there was no retinue to follow them. They walked along the boardwalk by the lake. The mist cut off the view of the entourage. ”

When Liu Shen heard this, he said flatly: "On such a cold day, the general is sick, Mrs. Jun has had a miscarriage for less than two months, and she doesn't pull the curtain, do you let them blow the cold wind in the mountains for a long time?" ”

Liu Shen looked at the chamberlain in my palace. He said, "Why are you here to tell me this?" Has Mrs. Jun treated you badly? ”

The chamberlain's face turned pale. He fell to the ground with a thud.

He kowtowed like garlic and said, "The slave deserves death!" King Han spares his life! King Han spares his life! ”

Liu Shen said: "I slapped my mouth 100 times, and then went to the chief manager to receive the punishment." ”

Liu Shen said: "You are not allowed to mention this matter again in the future." If so, it will be your last speech in this life. ”

The chamberlain kowtowed like pounding garlic and said, "King Xie Han is gracious!" King Xie Han is gracious! Minions don't dare to talk nonsense anymore! ”

After the chamberlain crawled to the ground and left, Liu Shen summoned the chief attendant inside.

Liu Shen told him what had happened, and then instructed the chief steward: "You can deal with this chamberlain, and find a place to do chores alone and arrange for him." You can't let him have any more contact with any important people and things or things, and you don't have to treat him harshly. I don't want to see him again. If Mrs. Jun asked, she didn't need to explain the reason to her, so as not to annoy her, so she said that I had something to send and transferred him. ”

Liu Shen said: "In the future, when I hear that someone in the palace is talking about these things without authorization, you know how to deal with it, right?" ”

The manager bowed his head and said, "The slave understands." King Han can rest assured that from now on, there will be no more servants in the palace who dare to discuss such a thing. ”

Liu Shen said: "If there is any more, you are the only one who asks." ”
