One by one, the tablets were placed under the shrine in order, and the sister's, Li Xian's, and Ning'er's were later added with two blank ones, without the names written.

That's Li Chun and Guo Jun's.

As the night darkened, she stared carefully at the two blank tablets, unable to let go for a long time. These are the two closest people in her life, but now, they have become cold tablets. She set the tablet upright, then took two steps back, took the pen and ink inkstone from the shelf, and sharpened a little ink.

Taking out one of the blank tablets, she slowly lifted the pen and carefully wrote on it: Brother Guo Yan's position.

After writing, I put it up, took down the last piece, and wrote the word "husband", but my throat choked, and I was still trembling with my hands and couldn't write.

said that he wanted to grow old with her, why was there only this lonely and cold tablet left?

She put the brush aside, hugged the tablet with only one word written on it, and couldn't help crying bitterly. He left her such a big Tang, she didn't know what to do!

Tonight, she will kowtow to them again and put on a stove of incense, maybe in the future, it will be time for someone else to kowtow to her.

Li Chun, have you drunk the Meng Po soup under the bridge, are you waiting for me, I'll be fast, really, I will come to you soon, I will accompany you, so that you will not be alone over there......

She pulled out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, and inside was two pills of poison. One pill can see the blood seal the throat, and to be on the safe side, she prepared two.

She is the noble empress dowager of the Tang Dynasty, and she must not die in the hands of others in humiliation. Whether it is the Guo family or her, they can only choose to end it by themselves.

She poured the two pills into her palm, then pinched one and looked into the dim light.

Red, tiny, and beautiful to look at.

From now on, the name Guo Nianyun will also be buried in the dust of history.

She took the small pill to her mouth and was about to swallow it, when suddenly a person behind her rushed out of the shadow in the corner and slapped the pill out of her hand.

"Nianyun!" A deep and familiar sound, dreamlike.

She suddenly didn't know if she had taken the pill just now, how could she see him so soon? Is she dead or not? Doesn't it mean that if you take the pill, you will feel uncomfortable for a while......

A hug that held her tightly in his arms.

It's a strange feeling, not familiar, not unfamiliar. Obviously, she can feel the deep affection and heartache of that person for her, and she must be the closest person to her, but the feeling of that embrace is obviously very similar to him, but it doesn't seem to be him.

"Nianyun, it's me, I'm back!" The voice with the slightest heartache surrounded her.

Her tears welled up, "Chun, Chun, is that you?" ”

She hugged him tightly, unwilling to let go, as if he would disappear if she let go slightly.

She guessed correctly, Li Chun was indeed alive, and he had been hiding in the dark and following her. From the time she fell from the long pavilion, she had already faintly sensed that something was wrong, and the person who saved her should be him. But he wouldn't show up, and she couldn't catch him. His hidden skills seem to have reached the peak.

And his ability to forbear is also at its peak.

Heng'er became a monk, but he refused to appear. Even when she passed the throne to the King of Light, he didn't say anything. Even she was puzzled, and began to wonder if her guess was wrong.

She was thinking about taking poison to commit suicide, she couldn't let herself fall into the hands of Zheng Qiaoqiao to suffer that humiliation, but she was more faintly expecting him to appear.

And he, really appeared!

Nianyun cried for a long time, and finally raised her head from his arms and stared at him. He wears a black robe, which is perfect for concealment, and a black mask on his face. She reached out to take it, but he stiffened a little, and then took her hand.

"Nianyun, I ......"

Nian Yun was slightly stunned.

He stopped talking, and after a while he said, "I'm not what I used to be. ”

What does it mean that it is not what it used to be? Nian Yun looked at him in amazement, and his hand stopped in the air.

"Chun?"

He was silent for a moment, then finally reached out and slowly removed the mask from his face.

The contours of that face have the appearance of Chun, but it seems to be different. She gazed carefully at his face, and finally realized that it was the eyes, those eyes, which seemed to be a little dull, not like his.

When she stared into his eyes, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and it was difficult to say what it was like, but when she saw it, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

She reached out and gently stroked his face, his eyes. What happened in the days when he was not in the palace?

When her inquiring gaze fell on his face, there was a deep sadness in his gaze.

"Chun, you tell me, what the hell ......"

He silently took her hand, brought it to his lips, and slowly moved it to her chest, and she could feel a heart pounding and pounding.

"Nianyun," he choked in his throat and lowered his head slightly, "Nianyun, there are some things I think I should tell you." I may not be able to accept it for a while, but ...... But ......"

She hugged him, "Chun, you have lost and recovered, in this world, there is nothing worse than losing you, you have come back, so it's good." ”

Li Chun's Adam's apple moved, and he still felt very difficult to speak. After a long while, he said: "Nianyun, when I escaped from Chenjiazhuang, because I was smoked by the thick smoke in the house for too long, my eyes were blind at that time, and my heart was also greatly damaged. At that time, Luofu managed to get in touch with Sishun with the specific contact information between them, and learned that Imperial Doctor Liang had left the palace, in the direction of Taihang Mountain, not too far away, so Luofu managed to contact Imperial Doctor Liang at that time. ”

Imperial Physician Liang and several of the great eunuchs under her command also had secret contacts, and even rats could be trained by him to deliver news, which she had no doubt. Nian Yun remembered the last letter from Imperial Doctor Liang to her, and at the end there was a sentence saying that there was a gift for her, could it be that what he said was Chun?

"But Imperial Doctor Liang hadn't arrived at Taihang Mountain at that time, he was in Chengde."

Chengde? Nian Yun thought of a possibility, and looked up at Li Chun in amazement, speechless in shock. It was precisely because Imperial Doctor Liang didn't know how to describe this "gift" that couldn't be called a gift, so he just mentioned it and didn't say anything!

"At that time, Guo Yan was ambushed by the enemy on the battlefield of Chengde, and there was a huge disparity in the number and strength of the two sides, so he ......"

Nianyun hugged him and began to sob.

Li Chun couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said slowly: "When Imperial Doctor Liang sent someone to find him, he was also seriously injured, his arms and legs were cut off, and his blood was about to run dry, and his life was in danger. Under the circumstances, neither of them could be saved. ”

Therefore, Imperial Doctor Liang came up with a thrilling way to put him to death and come back to life, so that two people, one of them, came back alive.

This is an unbelievable thing, before returning to the Daming Palace Shang Pharmacy, Imperial Doctor Liang's medical skills have almost reached the peak. During his more than ten years in Daming Palace, he began to study some sideways things, but he didn't know at first that Imperial Doctor Liang could perform such a strange operation.

This surgery was very dangerous, but under the circumstances, I had to give it a try.

At that time, although Imperial Doctor Liang proposed such a possibility, he also said that in doing so, he must endure inhuman pain before he dies, and it requires a very tenacious will, and Guo Jun insisted on giving it a try.

Even Li Chun himself did not dare to recall the tragic healing process. Dr. Liang Yu gouged out Guo Yan's eyes and placed them in his eye sockets, and in this process, Guo Yan had to soberly hold on to the next item before he could cut out a fresh heart to exchange for him.

Waiting for one's eyes and heart to be gouged out in the most conscious state, but having to hold on until the last moment to die, this is a pain that no one can imagine, and if the will is not firm at all, he will not be able to endure the pain in the middle and die, and the whole treatment will fail.

That treatment lasted for a whole day, and in order not to affect Imperial Doctor Liang and his emotions, Guo Yan endured a silent cry until the heart was successfully dissected in the end.

At that time, Li Chun realized that in fact, the most cherished woman in Guo Jun's life was also Nianyun. His love persevered in a pain that could not be said or obtained. Two men who once grew up together, fought side by side, and once suspected each other, at that moment, with the deepest love for the same woman, smiled and hated, and merged into the same person.

And Imperial Doctor Liang also exhausted his mind in that operation, and later insisted on preparing Li Heng's medicine, explained the future, and was relieved in one breath, and never got up again.

He couldn't tell her the pain Guo Yan had suffered for her, it was too cruel. But beside her, he felt the heart that belonged to him, beating violently in his chest. Ethically and morally, he is her own brother, and he can't really accompany her all her life, but he used another unimaginable way for ordinary people to finally justify his body and be with her.

The person who will ultimately protect her life is him and Guo Jun.

Nian Yun almost fainted from crying, and he couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy. Li Chun is really back, but her third brother will never come back!

It took a long time to come to his senses and ask in a low voice, "Did the third brother leave anything behind?" ”

Li Chun patted her on the back lightly and said with difficulty: "The last thing he said to me was...... Let me come back with his heart to love you and come back to see you with his eyes......"

He paused, "Whether it's me or me, I love you and protect you, and I will never change." ”

On that day, Li Chun hugged her, held the brush with his own hand, and wrote on the unfinished tablet: The position of husband Li Chun.

A long time later, on the bustling streets of Yangzhou, Nian Yun and Li Chun stood side by side, watching the sunset stretch the figures of the two people for a long time. Nian Yun slowly leaned on his shoulder, away from the center of power, the present world was stable, and the years were quiet.

Chang'an, East Palace, and Daming Palace are all like a distant dream, which took decades and a big dream, and finally returned to the original point.

In the palace, the news that came out later was that the Empress Dowager Guo Shixue, posthumously named Empress Yi'an, was buried in the Jingling Tomb of Emperor Xianzong after a few months of restlessness. And Li Chen's biological mother, Zheng, was posthumously named Empress Xiaoming many years later and was buried in the concubine tomb outside Jingling.

After Li Chen ascended the throne, there was another amnesty in the palace, and the palace people and eunuchs who wanted to leave the palace could receive a sum of money from the palace and leave the palace for retirement. Most of the people under the Empress Dowager Guo returned to their hometowns under such a policy.

After Du Qiu became the empress dowager of the Zheng family, he was canonized as Shanggong and assisted in taking care of the affairs of the harem, and later became the prince's Fu Mu and taught the prince Li Miao. It's just that after the prince Li Miao grew up, Du Qiu was involved in the struggle for the throne and had a conflict with the eunuch party. The poet Du Mu later met her, felt the ups and downs of her life, and wrote a poem "Du Qiu Niang Poem" for her.

Li Chen slowly grew into a man of great talent, and it was for Tang Xuanzong. He created the prosperous era of Zhongxing in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, and later, some people called him "Little Taizong", which is all later.

The princess of Ding'an, also known as the princess Li Luoluo, who was close to the Uighurs, was canonized as Kedun in the Uighurs and was very much loved and supported by the Uighurs. Later, after the death of the Khan, the emperor welcomed Princess Taihe back to Chang'an with a grand ceremony and canonized her as the eldest princess of Ding'an. She is also the last genuine princess of the Tang Dynasty and has been recorded in history.
