After handling the aftermath according to the general's last wishes, seven days later, a team of palace people came with a holy call, and Xiahou Jing took over his father's position and continued to garrison the border.

Empress Xuande took Xiahou Ji and Li Hanchen back to Beijing.

This matter has already spread to the capital, and the court and the people are in mourning.

After a few people returned to Beijing, Xu Chaodui saw Li Hanchen come back once, and before he could ask him if he was injured, he hurried into the palace.

General Xiahou's bones were buried at the border, and Empress Xuande put her father's thousand-bladed halberd into the coffin, posthumously presented the fake Huang Yue and Taishi, called Zhongwu, and buried him thickly.

Two months later.

"I disagree!" After listening to Xiahou Xi's request, Empress Xuande was angry, "You stay in the palace, my sister can take care of you at all times, why do you want to follow Hanchen to Linwangfu?" ”

Empress Xuande hated that iron could not become steel. At this time, this stubborn girl is still thinking about her sweetheart?

I don't believe it when I say that she doesn't do things.

Now there are only two sisters in the lower hall.

These days, Xiahou Ji's heart disease has recurred, torturing her to death. The whole person is like a flower that has been wilted by a storm, withering and falling.

"Sister, you listen to what Ji'er said." He was lying on the ivory couch, his pale lips twitching, "My sister doesn't know me yet, I really like Brother Chen." The reason why my father said those words was to encourage me to chase what I loved. Brother Achen has been taking care of me these days...... I...... Anyway, I don't want to stay in the palace, I want to follow Brother Achen back to the palace, but it's useless for my sister to persuade me! ”

Empress Xuande forcibly suppressed her anger, resisted the urge to lift the table, closed her eyes and lightly threw out two words: "Whatever you want." ”

"I don't agree." Li Hanchen came to visit her, and blurted out a refusal after hearing about it.

I was extremely unhappy, but looking at the pale and weak little girl on the bed, I couldn't help but get angry.

General Xiahou had only been there for a short time, what was she thinking in her heart?

"Brother Achen doesn't want it, then Ji'er won't go, and Ji'er will go back to the General's Mansion."

"Nonsense." Without waiting for Li Hanchen to speak, Empress Xuande refused, "The general's mansion is too deserted, and the palace is not at ease to hand you over to the servants to take care of." ”

"And Kitty ......"

"Neither can Kitty Hawk."

"Sister, but I don't want to stay in the palace...... I...... I'm ......," Xiahou said, and began to gasp for breath with a painful look on her face.

"Someone!" Empress Xuande panicked and called out to the people from the Imperial Doctor's Office who were guarding the door.

After some treatment, she clutched her chest and sobbed quietly: "Ahem...... I just don't want to stay in the palace, I don't want to ......"

Queen Xuande was so angry that her brain hurt, but she couldn't do anything about her. I had to look at Li Hanchen, hoping that he could fulfill Xiahou Xi's wish.

Li Hanchen subconsciously blurted out a refusal, only to hear Xiahou Xi cry in a low voice: "I miss my father so much......"

In his mind, he recalled the appearance of General Xiahou as a gun for himself.

At that time, he fought a decisive battle with the enemy general, and after a few rounds, he picked the opponent off his horse.

But out of nowhere, several dark arrows flew through the air, only to hear a shout, General Xiahou had already blocked it for him.

Those sharp swords and arrows were meant to stab him.

"For the old man, take care of his sister-in-law......"

The old general's words lingered in his mind over and over again, lingering.

Li Hanchen has always been a man of his word.

There is no perfect solution, but it is just to teach people how to make trade-offs.

He didn't have the delicate thoughts of his daughter's family, and he didn't think about what would happen in the future when he took Xiahou into the mansion.

Now all that is left in my heart is guilt and promise to the old general.

Before getting into the carriage, Li Hanchen sat on the back of the horse and reminded her coldly: "This king is just fulfilling his promise, you don't need to do what he thinks." ”

Xiahou Ji glanced at him with red eyes, and was helped into the car by the little eagle.

The carriage left the palace and headed in the direction of the palace.

"Xiaoying, you say I'm very annoying, at this time, I even want to follow Brother Achen back home."

In the carriage, Xiahou Ji leaned on a soft pillow weakly, her eyes were swollen like a peach beard, and her small face was extremely pale and very weak.

Although she also disagrees with her own approach, the only person she wants to rely on now is Brother Chen.

Although he didn't say much to himself these days, he would come to visit him every day. Ask yourself if there's anything wrong with you and what you'd like to eat today.

He still cares about himself in the end. It is precisely because of this concern that the love that he has been trying to restrain is like a sleeping beast suddenly opening his eyes.

Xiaoying gently held her hand and sincerely comforted: "Miss, don't think so, the general handed you over to His Royal Highness King Lin before leaving, indicating that he also intended to find opportunities for you." You have always been straightforward, dare to love, dare to hate, dare to chase, this is admirable. Our young lady never wrongs herself, and this time, it was no exception. ”

"Am I really doing nothing wrong?"

"There is no absolute right or wrong, as long as you feel that it is worth it, it is right."

Xiaoying's words undoubtedly reassured Xiahou Xi and made her hesitant and fluttering heart firm.

My father said that if you want it, you will fight for it, you will chase it, life is short, just have fun.

Even if she can't marry Brother A Chen as she wishes, she will definitely not let Xu Chaodui take advantage of it!

After closing her eyes and thinking about it, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Kitty asked with concern.

Xiahou looked at her fixedly and muttered to herself: "My heart disease is a burden to my life, but sometimes, it can become my soft weapon." ”

The fingers hidden in his sleeve moved, and suddenly clenched into fists.

Father handed her over to Brother Chen, Brother Brother Chen is hers, and no one wants to snatch it away.

When she was vulnerable and helpless, the first thing she thought of was her father, and now that her father is gone, she only needs the company and care of Brother Achen.

My sister has her own home, she doesn't.

On the way home, Li Hanchen was full of thoughts about the people at home.

Sometimes he is very angry with himself, if he is ruthless and ruthless, he can solve these irritating things very neatly. But that's how he is.

All the way to the home, I saw the little wife holding the little girl waiting outside.

Since the last time he sent troops to encircle and suppress, as long as he left the palace, even if it was just to enter the palace and go to court, his twilight would be waiting for him at the door when he was about to get home.

This time was no exception. When he saw him, a beautiful smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth, which made him feel very reassured.

The sound of the horse's hooves stopped, the carriage stopped, Li Hanchen turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to give her a hug as usual, and hugged her hand a little tighter.

"Husband, what happened to you? Frowned. ”

She gently pushed away the man in front of her, stretched out her hand to gently smooth his brows, and asked with concern.

Before Li Hanchen knew, Xu Chaowan knew the answer.

Looking over his shoulders and falling on Xiahou Ji, who was helped to get out of the car, she pursed her lips unconsciously.

She changed out of her red clothes and wore plain clothes, looking like her round face had lost weight several times, and her whole person was not as vibrant as before.

At this moment, she is like a dead leaf hanging from a branch, as if she will be swept off as soon as the wind blows.

She is not very tall, and her plain clothes look a little loose on her, and her fragile and helpless appearance is a little moving.

"Husband, I know why you're frowning, you're afraid I'll be angry, right?" She tilted her head to look at him, her tone relaxed.

Li Hanchen looked at her deeply, not knowing what to answer.

The more she did this, the more uneasy he became. Even if she didn't say it, he knew that she was unhappy in her heart.

"Don't worry, husband, I know you must have your own troubles for doing this. You love me so much that you won't do it unless you have to. So, I'm not angry, I'm not upset, I can't understand your situation, but I understand you. ”

Xu Chaodui really didn't feel unhappy in his heart. He understands Li Hanchen, and he has his principles.

As a husband and wife, we should understand each other's difficulties and solve them together.
