CHAPTER XXXVII

Early the next morning. I got up with the fourth master. He frowned and put his arm around me, "Do you know how much I don't want you to go?"

I coquettishly leaned on his shoulder: "I know. I can't bear to leave you. But here's the thing. Only I go to the most suitable. Isn't it. It won't take long to go back and forth. I'll be back in half a month. Okay?"

The fourth master frowned. Gently biting on my neck: "I'm afraid that one day I will really eat you in my stomach to rest assured. You can't leave me......"

I was so bitten by his gentle bite that I hid: "Fourth brother~"

The fourth master let go of me. Hands squeezed heavily on my shoulders. Looking deeply into my eyes: "Be sure to come back as soon as possible. Got it."

I nodded solemnly: "Got it. Get up. You're going to be too late."

"Then I won't send you."

I nodded: "My good emperor. Let's go to the court. Don't let people say that I'm flattering and ruining the country. I can't afford to be charged with such a big crime."

The fourth master smiled and pinched my nose: "You are like this. I really want to learn from Tang Xuanzong.' From now on the king will not be early in the dynasty.'"

He said. Stand up and tell someone to come in and wash and change clothes.

I also got up and asked Lan Yue to come in and help me freshen up.

Watching the fourth master put on the dragon robe. waved his hand to let people down.

Just changed into clothes. I haven't combed my hair yet. Walk over and hug him. hugged tightly: "Fourth brother. When I was away. Remember to miss me."

The fourth master hugged my waist tightly: "You have to think about me too."

I looked up at him and smiled, "Hmm. Go ahead."

The fourth master left. I sat in front of the mirror and looked at myself. frowned: "Comb your hair straight. Just find a hairband and tie it up. Let's go."

Lan Yue was stunned for a moment. Nodding. Help me comb my hair. I chose the pearl headband given by the fourth master and tied it up. I just got into the carriage that I was waiting for at the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace. Led the guards out of the palace......

Zunhua is not far away. Hurry up. It's just a day's journey.

I'm in a hurry. So the night of the day I came out of the capital. I rushed to Zunhua.

People are sleepy and tired. I let the brigade camp and rest. I rode a horse to the Zunhua Palace to see the Fourteenth Master.

The palace guards have already changed. Don't know me. He refused to let me go to the palace.

I'm just riding on a horse. Frowning, he was about to take out the gold medal given by Kangxi from his arms. A man came out of it.

"Who's at the gate of the palace."

I fixed my eyes and said, "Xingde Gongzi."

The man who came was Nala's Sing De. The last time we met. It was still the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi. Afterwards. I never saw it again.

He's still as handsome as ever. It's just that in the end, the years have carved some traces of wind and frost on his face. I see the man on the horse. He hurriedly knelt down: "Say hello to Princess Gulun. Blessed is the princess."

I dismounted with a smile: "Get up. Xingde Gongzi. Since the fifty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty. I haven't seen him in six years now."

"Yes. How could the princess come to Zunhua?"

"You know that. I have a good relationship with the Fourteenth Master. So I asked for a look."

Xingde Gongzi nodded. He instructed the other guards, "This is the princess of the Great Qing Dynasty Gulun Protector. Longer eyes. Don't rush."

"Yes."

Nala Xingde made a gesture: "Princess. Here's please. I'll take you in."

"Then it's going to be troublesome for the son of Xingde."

He leads the way. I looked at his sideburns, which had gray hair. Some sad.

The Kangxi who last saw him was fifty-six years old......

That year. It's not a good year......

March of the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi. Huai Ke's health suddenly got worse and worse. She is like a flower that has just bloomed. Suddenly, it began to decay rapidly.

I stayed at her and Singdeok's mansion all day long. Watching the child in bed become more and more decadent day by day. My heart hurts. But I don't know what to do.

Also secretly let the quack check it. But even the quack doctors said that they were tired......

Xingde is also here every day. Looking at Huai Ke's eyes. Exceptionally sad. But in that sorrow. But it's not the sadness of his beloved wife leaving. At least that's more than that. There are many others. Guilty...... Something like that......

I have no intention of digging into his mind. For him at this time to stay by Huaike's side. In the end, I am still a little grateful.

On the other hand, Huai Ke's biological mother Li. At this point is uncaring. For Huai Ke seriously ill. She simply didn't bother at all......

It's just that I go to the fourth master all day long and cry about how pitiful I am. Crying about why your children always have to suffer such a fate. Crying about why I always watch my child get sick.

The fourth master is bored with her. Finally, one day I couldn't help but scold: "If you really have a heart. Just go see Huai Ke. From her illness to now. Have you been to see her. Do you still look like a mother? Huai Ke around. I don't even have a caring relative. Instead, Jiya stays there every day. What do you look like. Come and cry with me when you have time. You'd better go check it out."

Li was stunned. Tilt your way away. Since then, I have never gone to the fourth master to cry about this. But I still haven't been to see poor Huaike.

I'm by my side. Watching her sober time get less and less. More and more time to sleep. I do not know. Maybe it's tonight. I'm going to lose her......

I guarded her for more than ten days. And then. The pear tree at that doorway finally bloomed on the night. Huai Ke suddenly woke up. Call me with a smile: "Auntie."

I watched her wake up. Smiled and took her hand: "Awake. Want to eat something. Do you want to eat sakima. I still want to see Xingde. Do you want me to call him?"

Huai Ke smiled and shook his head. Whispered, "I want to talk to my aunt for a while."

"Good. Then talk to my aunt for a while."

Huai Ke gently held my hand: "Auntie. You don't know. How much I like you. And how much I envy you. How jealous you are. You're what I've ever seen. The most beautiful and beautiful people. It's not that it's the prettiest looking. But you have a demeanor that no one else has. You have a kind of . Men are rarely free and easy. The way you look on a horse. So heroic. You're so smart. Smarter than anyone I've ever met. From the first time I heard about you from the mouth of Hiroshi. I just like you."

She coughed lightly twice. continued: "I saw you later. And my heart rejoiced even more. You're so good. Still like me so much. So good for me. Teach me to ride a horse. Take me out to play. At that time. I just thought. If you can. I also want to be like my aunt. Amma is coming for you. He's so good to you. I didn't quite understand it at the time. What kind of feelings is that. But later. I just understood. Amma to you. Be wholehearted. Complete love. Such a feeling. As a woman. You don't know how jealous I am of you. Aunt ......"

I touched her face: "Silly child. What to be jealous of. Xingde is also very good to you. Isn't it?"

Huai Ke nodded. He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes. He was very nice to me. Except for me. There is no other woman. But...... He doesn't love me...... Never loved me...... He treated me well. There's not a trace of love......"

"How is that possible. He's been watching over you all these days. It's just that I'm going to watch over you tonight. So it's not convenient for him to stay here." I soothed Huai Ke.

She smiled so innocently: "Auntie. Don't comfort me. I've been married to him for a few years. I've seen it all for a long time. He. You really don't love me...... He has a man in his heart. Long before I met him. That man was in his heart. Afterwards. No one will ever be able to go to his heart again......"

Huai Ke ...... "I don't know what to say.

Huai Ke shook his head lightly indifferently: "It's okay. Aunt. I'm content. In this life. There's nothing to regret. My mother doesn't hurt me though. But I have an aunt and you love me. Although not for a few years. But that's enough. Amma always has a cold face. But it actually still hurts me. That's why I chose this family business. Xingde doesn't love me though. But he was very good to me. I was able to marry him. That's enough. Aunt. You see. I've got everything. Isn't it?"

"Don't say that. Huai Ke."

"Auntie. It's fine. I know my day has come. It's time to ...... I just have something to say to you. Aunt ......"

"Huai Ke obediently. You say."

Huai Ke took my hand and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's all useless words. But I still want to say ...... Aunt. Can you stay with Amma all the time. Take good care of Amma. Amma is so tired. His character. It's so tiring and exhausting...... You take good care of him, okay?"

I nodded, "Okay."

Huai Ke smiled with satisfaction: "Auntie. I also want to trouble you to take good care of Hongshi them. One more point...... I'm gone after that. You help Xingde find the girl he likes. Keep them together. Okay?"

"I'll take good care of them. But the thing about Xingde. I'll do my best."

Huai Ke smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. I was relieved. Aunt. Can you help me up and change my clothes? I don't want to go like this......"

"Good. My aunt will help you change into beautiful clothes. Give you a nice bun. Then I'll help you put on makeup." I helped Huai Ke to sit up. Reluctant asked her with a smile.

She smiled as much as the child she had when she first met: "Okay. Aunt. I want to wear that pink riding outfit. It's the one you gave me that year."

I took out the outfit from the closet and helped Huai Ke put it on. smiled and said, "How many years of clothes have you had?" Why do you still keep it?"

Huai Ke smiled: "This must be kept all the time. My aunt gave it to me."

I helped her sit down in front of the dressing table. Comb her hair.

The illness that lasted for more than half a month made her hair particularly fragile. I looked at the broken hairs on the comb. I was so distressed that I frowned. But he could only force himself to smile. I'm afraid that Huai Ke will see my expression from the bronze mirror.

Comb your hair. I look at Huai Ke in the mirror. Begin to apply her makeup quietly. Snail Dai thrush. The best rouge shows some complexion. I smiled and kissed her lightly on the forehead: "My Huaike. What a beautiful boy."

Huai Ke's eyes were shining: "Really."

"Really. My Huai Ke is the most beautiful."

"I knew that. My aunt loves me the most."

I plucked a beaded hairpin from the new tribute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year from my head and put it in my hair: "This will be more beautiful."

Huai Ke nodded. Looking up at me, "Auntie. Can you get someone to get Xingde? I have something to say to him."

"Good. Auntie, let's go."
