Chapter Forty-Seven: The End Comes
Perhaps sensing Tang Changyu's existence, Liuning moved slightly, the expression on her face looked a lot calmer and more stable, Tang Changyu sat beside her, carefully recalling the scene when the two met in the past, until now, like a dream, so many years have passed.
Although he now has a secret, a secret that he will keep with her for the rest of his life, he is not afraid, the darkness that belongs to them will pass, and tomorrow, everything will be settled. He secretly swore in his heart that in the days to come, only this matter would be reserved for her, and in the days to come, he would love her wholeheartedly.
Tang Changyu thought about it, but he didn't realize that Liuning was awake. When Liu Ning woke up, the pain all over her body was screaming, as if reminding her of those cruel things. When I turned my head and saw this familiar figure beside me, I really felt that everything was over, and I suddenly felt that my whole person was relaxed, and my whole heart was settled.
"Changyu." Hearing Liuning's low call, Tang Changyu's heart tightened, and her voice was full of tiredness and bitterness. The two looked at each other for a long time in the dark night, didn't say a word, just looked at each other like this, they always did this, and one look could understand each other's minds.
Tang Changyu hugged Liuning tightly in his arms, and Liuning also hugged Tang Changyu tightly, as if he wanted to be one with each other. Liu Ning could feel the familiar aura on Tang Changyu's body, as well as the aura of wind and dust and the bloody aura that had not dissipated for a long time. She cried, they have encountered a lot of wind and rain over the years, but she rarely sheds tears, for which Tang Changyu also complained that she was not dependent on herself enough, but today, she doesn't want to suppress herself anymore, she doesn't want to pretend to be strong anymore, she is tired, they are all too tired, in this quiet night, Liu Ning just wants to rely on Tang Changyu's arms and cry to her heart's content.
Tang Changyu could feel the person in his arms sobbing softly, her tears left a wet mark on her chest, he understood her strength, and also understood her pain, after all, he was sorry for her, and the pale language could not comfort the wind and frost she had experienced, so he could only hug her tighter.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Tang Changyu said to Liuning silently in his heart. I don't know how long it took, Liu Ning was tired from crying, and fell asleep in Tang Changyu's arms. Tang Changyu looked at her sleeping face, the wind and frost over the years had not left any traces on her clean face, she was still the girl she looked like when he first saw her, simple and clean, which made him even more treasured.
When he woke up the next morning, the sunlight came in and shone on Tang Changyu's face, Liuning looked at it, it seemed that he hadn't seen such a beautiful picture for a long time, Liuning leaned in front of Tang Changyu, and printed a gentle kiss on his cheek, Tang Changyu seemed to be awakened, turned over and pressed Liuning under him, and smiled faintly.
Tang Changyu's breath shrouded Liuning's surroundings, making Liuning blush slightly, but Tang Changyu only kissed her lightly on the forehead and lay back beside her, holding Liuning's hand, and said: "A-Ning, I have to go to face the saint today, those things must have a result after all, I have persuaded the emperor yesterday, but you have to be mentally prepared, I don't know what the result will be." ”
Liuning is not an ignorant person, so he hummed lightly, Tang Changyu smiled evilly: "Don't be so disappointed, when the matter is over, I will take you out of the capital, we have time to do these things slowly." ”
Doing it slowly, Tang Changyu's words were low and had some demagogic charm, which made Liuning's face even redder unconsciously. Then Liu Ning asked in hindsight: "Leaving the capital?" Can you? Where to? ”
Tang Changyu replied very firmly: "Well, I already talked to the emperor yesterday, and he agreed. When the time comes, we will go wherever you want. Liuning's heart was full of sweetness and warmth when he heard this, and the two of them grinded for a long time, as if they wanted to make up for the lingering that they had never had in the past, so they got up and went to face the saint together.
Li Shimin seems to have stayed awake all night, since that rebellion, Liuning and the emperor have only seen each other for a few days, and he feels that he has aged a lot. The emperor greeted Liuning, and after asking her about her physical condition, he fell into an awkward silence. As if he had made a great determination, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Bring them all up and announce the decree." ”
Soon, Liu Ning saw those familiar faces, his brother, Zhao Nan, Li Junzhi, and Wanyan, but the tired and desperate looks on their faces made her feel very strange. Tang Changyu seemed to feel Liuning's thoughts, silently approached her a little, and quietly clenched her hand.
Liu Ning listened to the voice of the eunuch announcing the decree, and those bloody and dark images flashed back in her mind, and she only felt that everything was so unreal. The emperor's final decree was beyond everyone's expectations, and Liu Ning looked at Tang Changyu incredulously, Tang Changyu just pinched her hand to reassure her, but remained silent.
Liubin, Li Junzhi, Zhao Nan, these rebels actually saved their lives, Liubin was sealed a prince and marquis with no real power, the name is said to be the Turkic king, in fact, there is no right, but he was sent back to the distant Turks, and he has no worries about food and clothing all his life, and he has nothing to do, but this kind of calm is the best ending for Liubin, who has lost everything and has no waves.
Zhao Nan was stripped of his title and expelled from Beijing. The emperor ordered him to leave the capital within five days and never set foot in the capital again. And Wanyan was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, but her name was not cut. Wanyan looked at Li Shimin in a daze, even though she knew that the emperor loved her, she still couldn't read the emperor's heart. She couldn't tell whether the emperor loved her deeply, or whether he wanted her to keep this title for the rest of her life, so that she was imprisoned in this Forbidden City, and even her soul could not be freed.
And the emperor's tolerance for Li Junzhi was something that everyone didn't expect. Li Junzhi has been tortured, from today onwards, he has become a guardian eunuch, he has to stay in the imperial tomb for the rest of his life, guarding the soul for Li Jiancheng, this is not a cruel punishment for him, but like a kind of fulfillment, so that he can stay by his side for the rest of his life.
Tang Changyu didn't expect that the emperor had thought about it for so long, and he actually fully agreed to his request, and he was full of gratitude. The emperor retained his hereditary title, but allowed him and Liuning to stay away from the court, only one, the emperor asked Tang Changyu to give him three months to elect a suitable person to inherit his position.
Tang Changyu can understand that even if the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful now, let the horses return to the mountains, and return to the fields, he still has to be prepared, but he hopes that this Qingning, which was exchanged for blood, will never be broken. Tang Changyu, Liuning and everyone else kowtowed to the emperor to thank him, but the emperor was very tired, waved his hand, and asked them all to retreat.
A nightmare is finally coming to an end.
