Chapter 51: The Splendor of That Tree
In the winter morning, the carriage carrying Yu Tianzheng and Du Xiaomeng left the palace from a side door in a low-key manner and drove towards the Rui Wangfu.
In the carriage, Yu Tianzheng held the unconscious Du Xiaomeng in his arms, put his hand on her neck, gently swept the finger marks that had turned blue, and then caressed her lifeless face with heartache.
Du Xiaomeng nestled quietly in his arms, motionless. Only at this time would she not resist Yu Tianzheng's embrace and let him make such an intimate move towards her.
Yu Tianzheng's gaze never left Du Xiaomeng for a moment, he caressed her face, as if he was afraid that she would leave, and hugged her tighter.
When he learned that Du Xiaomeng was poisoned by the three royal brothers, he had always been calm and calm, and he had an irrepressible panic. When he saw the signal fireworks blooming dazzling in the night sky, he didn't have time to settle his father, who had just been rescued from the Tenglong Palace, and hurriedly left everything behind to let Zhao Yun temporarily preside over the overall situation on his behalf, so he rushed to the place where the signal was issued.
When he saw Zhan Qi walking out of the abandoned cold palace with Du Xiaomeng in his arms from a distance, he didn't know if Du Xiaomeng was safe and sound, and his heart once again had an irrepressible panic.
Yu Tianzheng retracted the gaze on Du Xiaomeng's face, and regardless of whether she could hear it or not, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Xiaomeng, this time I owe you." In the future, I am willing to do my best to treat you well, hold you in my hands and pet and protect you with my heart, so that you will not be hurt again. ”
At this moment, he said all from the bottom of his heart.
There are many women around him, but Du Xiaomeng is the first woman other than Luzhu who makes his heart pound. He could always see the shadow of Green Pearl in the body of this woman who had no resemblance to Green Pearl, and the longer he spent with her, the more intense this strange feeling became, and the more reluctant he was to take his eyes off her. Watching the woman he cared about make him look like he was now half-dead, he was both heartbroken and guilty. If he hadn't calculated too much and included Du Xiaomeng, who appeared unexpectedly, into his plan, she would not have suffered all kinds of injuries for no reason.
With his thoughts, he almost pushed Du Xiaomeng to the point of no return, and almost made irreparable mistakes because of this. Fortunately, Zhan Qi was looking for Du Xiaomeng, who was still alive, which gave him a chance to remedy.
In front of the abandoned cold palace, he didn't fail to see Du Xiaomeng's attachment to Zhan Qi and his resistance to him, but he chose to ignore and asked Du Xiaomeng from Zhan Qi's hand.
He doesn't care about Du Xiaomeng's heart pretending to be someone else, he also doesn't care how much Du Xiaomeng has a good impression of him, he is sure that Du Xiaomeng has not fully clarified his mind now, and he can't let Du Xiaomeng have another chance to choose before she further clarifies what her heart wants. Only by letting her stay by her side can she grasp the capture of her heart point by point and erase the shadow of others in her heart.
Du Xiaomeng didn't know anything about what was happening in the outside world. In a state of slumber, she fell into a nightmare, and for a while she fell into a bottomless ice cellar, surrounded by cold snow, so cold that her limbs were stiff and she could not escape; In a moment, she couldn't find a way out of the barren mountains burning with raging fires, and she was burned all over her body by the fire that was closely chasing after her.
Struggling at the poles of ice and fire, she suddenly saw a hazy but familiar figure not far ahead, she ran towards the figure with all her might, and finally caught the sleeve of the figure, but the person did not turn back and pulled away her hand, she fell into the cliff behind her without standing steadily, and fell down in the endless darkness, her hands desperately grabbed in the air to grab something to stop herself from falling, but she couldn't catch anything and couldn't touch it, I can only fall deeper into the darkness involuntarily.
Suddenly, something caught her falling body, and the darkness surrounding her seemed to be cut open with a sharp blade, and the surroundings suddenly opened up.
Du Xiaomeng stood in this piece of light and looked around, and couldn't help but be stunned.
In front of her was a long street full of redbud trees, and on one side of the street there was a sparkling river, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in the sky and the shadows of the trees; At this time, it is the time when the bauhinia is in full bloom, in a sea of flowers that is breathtakingly beautiful, the bauhinia tree with brilliant flowers shakes off a few flowers on the branches from time to time, and falls on the waves on the river surface, slowly drifting into the distance with the river.
This place is not new to Du Xiaomeng at all. This is the town where her biological mother's home is located, and it is also a paradise that she has never forgotten in her heart.
A gust of wind blew, and many fallen flowers blew down from the bauhinia tree, and the purple, dark pink, and light pink petals turned into a shower of fine and beautiful flower rain, which fell on Du Xiaomeng's body one after another.
In this rain of flowers, Du Xiaomeng returned to the happy time many years ago, in which she saw her grandfather, who had passed away for many years and loved her very much.
With a kind smile on his face, Grandpa stretched out his hand to her, and walked to the town market with her little hand as before, and took her to eat what she liked.
Immersed in the happiness and carefree of the past, when Du Xiaomeng was eating the small snacks she loved when she was a child, she suddenly remembered that her grandfather had already died of illness when she was nine years old. She looked up at her grandfather's smiling face, and noticed that his face had become blurred.
Another gust of wind blew, bringing up a rain of flowers between her and her grandfather. She raised her hand to remove the tiny petals to see her grandfather's face, but her grandfather said to her, "Xiaomeng, it's time for grandpa to leave." You have to take good care of yourself in the future and take care of yourself. ”
After saying that, Grandpa stood up and turned around and walked away slowly.
"Grandpa!" Du Xiaomeng hurriedly stood up and rushed into the rain of flowers to chase after her, but the rain of flowers that was blocking became more and more violent, so that she couldn't open her eyes. Suddenly, her feet stepped into the air, her heart beat violently, and her eyes opened at once.
When I opened my eyes again, the gorgeous flower rain was gone, the breathtakingly beautiful bauhinia flowers were gone, and the familiar town long street was gone. What came into her eyes was Yu Tianzheng, who was asleep on the low table at the head of the bed.
