Chapter 41: Lost Feelings
()
Holding the jade pendant in his hand, Bai Yitian's tears were already moist.
"'How can the flowers fall into tears, Wen Yujin can't sleep in her dreams', Luoran, you still remember me, right?" Holding the petal jade pendant tightly to his chest, Bai Yitian recalled the past qiē, how could he be in the twilight of his life, and he was unable to return to the sky after all.
"Your Majesty! People brought! ”
Through the gauze curtain, Bai Yitian said to the attendant,
"Go down!"
"Yes!"
The attendant left, and Li Qiao stood there not knowing whether to go in or not. The person in the curtain is his father, Li Qiao understands better than anyone else, but this father made his heart die when he was five years old. It's just that when we meet again at this moment, I inevitably think of some childhood memories.
"Come in!"
When Li Qiao entered the curtain, he saw an old man lying on the dragon's collapse, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Is this the majestic father in my heart when I was a child? Why is it so emaciated! Li Qiao was shocked for a while, and actually forgot to ask for peace.
Bai Yitian raised his eyes and glanced at Li Qiao, who was staying there, and a trace of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Like, why does this person look so much like that person between his eyebrows?"
But it was only a momentary difference, and Bai Yitian paid attention to the jade pendant in his hand again.
"The emperor asked you, who gave you this jade pendant?"
Li Qiao was asked this question, immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said,
"Li Qiao, see the emperor!"
"Answer the Emperor's question!"
"It was given by the princess! The princess said that as long as she handed over this jade pendant to the emperor, the emperor would meet the minions! ”
Bai Yitian looked at Li Qiao, and the doubts in his eyes became even stronger,
"Why do you want to see the Emperor?"
Li Qiao didn't say anything, just took out the bright yellow brocade bag from his arms and handed it to Bai Yitian, saying,
"This is the princess who asked the slave to hand over to the emperor!"
Bai Yitian took the brocade bag and looked at the familiar embroidery stitch on the brocade bag, his eyes were full of tenderness. Open the bag and take out a letter from it.
"Yitian, please let Luo Ran call you like that again. I know you'll have a lot of questions. The same is true for me, there are some questions that we can't answer, and that takes time to answer. Just like why you chose my sister and Yu Ji and gave up on me back then, I didn't understand it at the time, but now I understand. I don't blame you, because Iroh loves me, and you love Iroh dearly. He is your own brother, and you owe him, and I owe him......"
Seeing this, Bai Yitian couldn't hold back anymore, and he was already in tears.
"Ilti, you may ask why I owe Elo. Because Xie'er was not his child, I found out that I was pregnant before I married into the palace, but it was still early at that time, and my body didn't see anything unusual at all. Just don't need me to explain, you should have guessed who the father of the child is......"
Bai Yitian's hand holding the letter was already trembling, and tears filled his eyes, but he couldn't hide the shock in it.
“…… Ilo has been hiding this matter, so I said that I owed him, and it could even be said that I had shamed him. It's just that Xie'er has been a poor child since he was a child, and his strange illness has made his personality cold and arrogant, and he still doesn't know how to love someone. As a mother, I was a failure and a helpless person.
I wanted to bury these secrets in the loess, but I found that things no longer allowed me to do so. Now I am writing this letter to you because I am also selfish as a mother. The matter between you and Iroh has reached a point where it has to be resolved, and you can hide it from anyone but not me. I can't stop it, because we all owe him, and as for what to do with Elona, it's your choice as an emperor, or your choice as a brother. It's just that the child is innocent, I don't want to see the scene more than 20 years ago, when the five princes were innocent, but they became victims of the struggle for power between you and the harem. Yu Ji is innocent, but she is also lonely and lives alone in the cold palace. I understand that your choice at that time was helpless, and it was also to protect Yu Ji from being hurt in any way, but now, no one can make up for the sins committed at that time. Yitian, let her go, let her leave the cold palace, and let the child in front of her take him away! Some things are too late to make up for now, but some things can be made up, like the child in front of you. Sometimes when you see him, you will be able to tell the truth about him at first sight......"
Bai Yitian suddenly looked up at this Li Qiao, and then realized in his heart, and couldn't help but say to himself,
"I see, I see. Heaven is still forgiving! I'm sorry! Tired of you! ”
An emperor suddenly apologized to himself, which caught Li Qiao off guard, and hurriedly responded,
"What is the emperor's words, it's just a letter, and the slave is not affected!"
Bai Yitian didn't continue to say anything, lowered his head and continued to read the letter.
“…… has already broken his bowels, and everything is difficult to cultivate, so why cling to the oath he once made. Forgetting jì may be the best solution! Don't drag the children into that merciless war, this is the last request of the Fall! ”
The letter finally ended, and the old tears that I read every day were also heartbroken. After a half-resounding silence, he finally opened his eyes and looked at Li Qiao in front of him, his eyes were no longer the stern just now, but with a hint of fatherly love.
"Come here!"
Bai Yitian beckoned to Li Qiao, and Li Qiao walked over and knelt beside Bai Yitian's bed. Bai Yitian stretched out his hand and stroked Li Qiao's cheek, and said softly,
"Go, child, take her out of here, leave forever, and don't come back!"
When Li Qiao heard this, his eyes gradually moistened, and there was no thanks, just like an ordinary child by his father's side, only tears flowed down his cheeks.
When the green iron gate was pushed open, Yu Ji, dressed in white, in the scattered courtyard, turned around. Li Qiao stepped forward step by step, and when the two looked at each other, Li Qiao sank and knelt in front of Yu Ji. The two looked at each other silently, Li Qiao was already in tears, but Yu Ji had a trace of doubt in her eyes, but gradually, that trace of doubt turned into smoke and disappeared, replaced by shock, longing, and endless tears.
"Mother, Qi'er picked you up!"
hugged Li Qiao tightly into his arms, and in just a few words, Yu Ji woke up again.
"Ah~!"
With this shout, the pain of half a life dissipated in the palace that said big or small. Bai Xixie, who had just stepped out of the palace gate, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and looked back at the world surrounded by the wall, his eyes full of doubts.
In the Qilin Villa, it seemed that she heard this shout, and her tears couldn't help but fall.
"Sister Yu, I'm sorry for you!"
