Chapter 42: My Father Has Been Here
"Let's go!" I screamed in a hurry, and I saw my hand tear off a piece of fabric from Mo Qian's robe, and the golden-faced master pulled Mo Qian out, and then the door was finally closed again.
I think I didn't move because my body was out of strength. I moved again because I had enough rest. In this way, back and forth and tossed several times. Each time I stopped, I took longer and longer to rest.
"Lin Muyu, what's wrong with you!" I seemed to hear Sayra's voice, and he was leaning into the vent, looking inside anxiously.
I wanted to tell Saya that I was fine, but the voice was so low that I couldn't even hear myself.
I heard the sound of Xiao Ye and Mo Qian fighting outside, and soon I felt someone pick me up, my eyes opened all of a sudden, and I saw that the person was Xiao Ye, my head was trying to get close to his neck, my lips had touched his skin, I could only grit my teeth and not let myself hurt Xiao Ya.
I was put on a large bed and closed my eyes again, but my mind was clear, and I could hear everyone's voices. I just don't have the strength to open my eyes.
Later, I heard that Qing Yu was coming, and he also brought the Evil Solid Yang Pill. I also heard Xiao Ye arguing with Qing Yu, saying that he brought the medicine so late to deliberately kill me. Qing Yu didn't explain, but turned the pill into water, and fed it to me, but it was taken away by Xiao Ye, and then, the sweet soup was fed into my mouth by Xiao Ye, and I tried to drink a little more, but more than half of it slipped out of the corner of my mouth.
Later, I made trouble a few times one after another, probably because of too much physical exertion, although I still pounced when I saw people, and bit when I saw people, but they were all restrained.
My consciousness began to blur, but I didn't fall asleep, I don't know how long it was, my eyes opened suddenly, and I saw the golden-faced master cut his arm, and I saw that I was desperately rolling out of bed, crawling on all fours towards the arm that was approaching me.
I knew what my body was trying to do, and I knew what the golden-faced master was doing, but I couldn't control it anymore, I saw that my lips were covered with that wound, and I saw that the golden-faced face of the golden-faced master who had not healed from his serious injuries was getting paler and paler.
If I continue like this, I will drink the blood of the golden-faced master, like that husband, the ghost king, who was sucked dry by me and turned into a terrifying dried corpse, I used all my willpower, and finally let myself grit my teeth and bite hard.
I can't remember how long I held on, but Saya carried me back to the bed and wiped the blood from the corners of my mouth. Soon, I lost consciousness.
When I woke up, it was already evening, and I hurried back to the palace, joking with Mu Yu as if I hadn't done anything, and asked Manager Xu to send someone to send the moon cakes I brought from the top of the ghost king to Qin Ruoan and Zhuang Yuanxuan, who were completely unaware of this matter.
"Your Highness, the emperor came last night."
"Father has been here?" Although I have been here for three or four months, I have rarely seen my father, and he is still the same as before, only on the first day of the new year, sitting on the dragon chair in a crown dress and crown, watching me and the ministers talking, watching the ministers kneel down and shout: "Your Highness is wise." He sat in the highest, most luxurious seat, and like an outsider, without saying a word, I swept there occasionally, always meeting his silent gaze at me.
Lin Muyu's father didn't care about her since she was a child, Lin Muyu's impression of her father was not only scolded by him, beaten by him, but also watched him beat and scold her mother. As for later, when he was imprisoned, he simply cut off all contact with Lin Muyu. Dad has become a scar hidden in Lin Muyu's heart that has long been scabbed but will never heal.
And Gu Tianba never disdained this father, not only did he not get close to his father, but he also disliked him everywhere, the king of a country was not only a puppet, but also like an errand in the palace, he had to look at the prince's face everywhere.
Even me, although I don't dislike my father like Gu Tianba, but for that taciturn middle-aged man, I have always regarded him as an ornament, a puppet. I don't think I'm going to hurt him, I'm not going to interfere with him, and when I meet, I can salute him with the courtesy of a prince to my father.
Until I heard Mu Yu's words, a very ordinary sentence, but it was like a heavy boulder pressing on my chest, making me breathless. I realized that I had always treated him as a stranger, someone who had nothing to do with me. I even took it for granted and justified all his cooperation, tolerance, and forbearance with me. I never treated him as my relative. But I ignored that Lin Muyu was not the daughter of her father, but her father was Gu Tianba's biological father.
I could feel the faint love in my father's eyes as he looked at me, but I didn't dare to approach. Some people say that the child was born to collect debts from his parents, even if his father really owed Gu Tianba something in his previous life, but she is already dead, and the debt owed to her by her father has been repaid. Now, my father treats me as his child, and his faint fatherly love is something that Lin Muyu has never felt, something I desire and fear, but I don't know how to respond.
Mu Yu held a piece of moon cake and looked at it for a long time, "Your Highness, the Chang'e on this moon cake is really similar to you." ”
"Huh?"
"His Royal Highness went out and brought back so many moon cakes, even Qin Gongzi and Chu Gongzi sent them, and the rest will be sent to Tianshou Palace!"
"Then I'll deliver it myself!" Even Qin Ruoan and Chu Moxuan sent moon cakes, but I didn't expect my father to be unfilial.
When my father saw me, he was obviously stunned, I saluted and handed him the moon cakes, but I didn't know what to say, I was embarrassed for a long time, and then I retreated. But after walking out of Tianshou Palace, I suddenly turned around and saw my father standing at the door of Tianshou Palace, watching my back.
His father was weak since he was a child, so he was not liked by the former emperor who was a hero by force, only because he was the eldest son, he was elected as the son, Tianyu founded the country, and became the crown prince. The first emperor wanted to abolish his father's crown prince several times, and passed that position to Prince Gong or Prince Xuan, who were still thinking about the throne. And because he is the biological father of Gu Tianba, who was predicted to rule the world in the future before he was born, he was doomed to the tragedy of being just a puppet emperor when he sat on the dragon chair later.
I always thought that my father was not valued by the previous emperor because he was too mediocre and could not be a martial artist, but after real contact, I found that although my father was a little weak. But it is not mediocre, but benevolent, and everything comes first to the people. If he is not a puppet emperor from the throne, even if the country is not rich and strong, it will not be worse than the current situation.
I ask my father to go to court every morning, and I will ask for my father's opinion before making all decisions. My father has also gone from being honest and fearful at the beginning to being calm and calm now. My father is calm, rigorous, and orderly, unlike me, who only relies on his enthusiasm and is actually blindly commanding many times.
My father is becoming more and more like an emperor, and I am becoming more and more like a deferential and modest prince, and the ministers no longer only recognize the prince and disrespect the emperor. I asked my father to review the recital with me, and although our conversations were mostly inseparable from national affairs, the atmosphere was much more natural than before.
On the day I made an appointment to meet Hu Yanzhuo, there were a lot of twists and turns, and it was noon after the approval was hurried, and Mr. Xu thought that my father and I would have lunch in the room next to the study like yesterday and then continue to be busy, so he took it upon himself to set up lunch. My father didn't know that I was still in trouble, thinking that this was specially arranged by me, and I was in a very good mood. I can't spoil his old man's interest. Finish eating in a hurry. casually changed his clothes and walked out of the palace from the secret passage.
Because of the wounds, I moved much slower than before, all the way down the mountain, I was tired and sweaty, fortunately at the bottom of the mountain hit a delivery carriage in the city, hitchhiked into the city's car, into the city gate people to the place, I had to get off the car, I went all the way to the road, and waited for the house full of wisteria flowers, it was almost time.
When the porter went in to report, I sat on the threshold, wiped the sweat from my forehead with my sleeve, and sighed why I was so stupid, why did I run all the way from the city gate, instead of spending two taels of money to hire a carriage and ride comfortably.
I think I must have been very embarrassed at the time, otherwise Hu Yanzhuo wouldn't have been nervous enough to pull me up and down for a long time when he saw me, and asked me if I had met some bad guy halfway.
Make sure I'm okay, Hu Yanzhuo is relieved, and when I change into clean clothes, I was served by Aunt Fang with two rows of beautiful women with national colors and fragrances to re-dress, and after I was busy with these, it was almost dark.
"I also said that I have lunch at home, and it's time for dinner!"
"......How am I going to tell him I have to rush back before dinner?" I knew that I wouldn't let Aunt Fang re-dress me, and I had been upside down for more than half an hour with just one hair, and this face was powdered, thrushed, and rouge...... How big my face was, and it took me another half an hour. Aunt Fang also pointed to the yellow figure in the bronze mirror and asked me if I was satisfied. The bronze mirror can't see the face clearly, how do I know that I am not satisfied.
It's still a crystal mirror, there was a crystal mirror in the East Palace before, but then I accidentally broke it. I don't know if Yuguo doesn't produce crystals or what the reason is, I didn't meet a crystal mirror again, so I had to put such a copper mirror in the room, the mirror is not particularly smooth, so I think it's the gold-faced master looking at the mirror every time!
When Aunt Fang was dressing me up just now, she said that Hu Yanzhuo personally went to the kitchen early in the morning to star, and finally all the dishes were put on the table, but I waited for me to come left, and I didn't come to the right. Hu Yanzhuo didn't move a single chopstick, and he is still hungry waiting for me to eat together. If I slap my ass and leave at this time, I really have no conscience.
"It's fine!" I said, "I'm so hungry, let's go to the front room to eat!" ”
Hu Yanzhuo finally smiled, stretched out his hand to me, and said, "Then help the husband and the lady to the front hall for dinner!" ”
"Don't call me a lady again!" Ignoring his outstretched hand, I walked straight to the antechamber.
"Lady, slow down, be careful of the steps!"
I really don't know if Hu Yanzhuo's mouth has been opened, his voice is about to fall, I really stepped on the air, and my body fell straight forward.
Fortunately, Hu Yanzhuo's eyes were quick, he reached out and grabbed me, and dragged me into his arms. The classic scenes that have appeared in countless idol dramas happened to me so unexpectedly, I looked at Hu Yanzhuo's handsome face magnified in front of me, and closed my eyes very obediently.
The expected kiss did not come as expected, Hu Yanzhuo put his lips to my ear, his exhaled breath blew on my ear, itchy, I heard Hu Yanzhuo say to me in a very ambiguous voice: "The powder on the lady's face is too thick, I can't say it for my husband, what should I do!" ”
The romantic atmosphere disappeared all at once, and I was so angry that I yelled while pushing him: "Love kiss or not, go away!" ”
Hu Yanzhuo's hand tightened violently on my waist, and he lowered his head and kissed my lips fiercely. After a long time, he raised his head contentedly, "Is the lady still satisfied?" If you are not satisfied, the husband will kiss until the lady is satisfied. ”
I blushed so much that I couldn't speak, and I struggled to break free from his embrace and said, "I'm dying of hunger!" He didn't dare to turn back and ran to the front hall.
