Chapter Forty-Eight: Love Takes Root
For such an ending, there are too many surprises, and for the upcoming separation, it is no longer inevitable. For parting, it is the result of them moving forward in turmoil one after another. They used to be young and carefree teenagers and girls, but now they have different fates and go their separate ways.
The last time we got together, many words were not mentioned again, only sincere blessings, persuading you to have a glass of wine and start again in the future. On the night when the decree was issued, everyone was drunk at Tang Changyu and Liuning's home, and everyone had indescribable emotions.
Early the next morning, everyone woke up as promised, but Zhao Nan was gone, and everyone thought that Zhao Nan was unable to face parting and left quietly. Everyone came to the gate of the city in silence, and the king must say goodbye to him for a thousand miles, and what should be faced must be faced after all.
The first to leave was Li Junzhi, he looked up at the sky, the palace in the distance was still so golden, but there was no attachment in his eyes, he just wanted to leave here early and return to his side. The only thing he felt sorry for was his nephew and niece, who he failed to take care of, and even almost brought disaster to them.
"Uncle......" This is the first time that Liu Ning is willing to call him like this.
Perhaps because of Li Shimin's tolerance, Li Junzhi finally figured it out, and the uncle who had just stayed in Ning made his heart feel like he had been beaten hard. He looked at Liuning and Liubin, and finally spoke: "Liuning, Liubin, I'm sorry, I really don't deserve you to call uncle." I hope you will be well in the future, I, I will go to your father to atone for my sins. ”
"Uncle......" Liuning and Liubin spoke almost at the same time. But Li Junzhi didn't speak again, so he left without looking back.
Next to leave was Liubin, who looked at his sister, his only relative in the world. He took Liuning's hand and solemnly placed it in Tang Changyu's hand. He looked into Liuning's eyes and said, "Sister, I'm sorry. ”
I've heard too many sorry voices these days, and Liuning is distressed, so distressed that she can't speak, and all emotions can only pour out of her eyes. Liu Ning grabbed Liubin's hand, shook his head vigorously, and said, "Brother, don't say that, you must be good after you leave, be good, don't do stupid things again......"
Liubin hugged Liuning, like coaxing her to be happy when she was a child. He solemnly said to Tang Changyu: "Changyu, you will be my sister's only support in the future, from childhood to adulthood, she has suffered a lot, I am ignorant as an elder brother, and I want her to worry about everything, you must protect her in the future, promise me, don't let her suffer anymore." ”
Tang Changyu nodded, patted Liubin's shoulder again and said, "Don't worry." You have to take care too, otherwise A-Ning and I won't be at ease. Liubin also patted him, which is probably a unique way of comfort between men.
Liuning listened bitterly, couldn't speak, and Liubin's emotions were about to be unable to support it, Tang Changyu took Liuning from his arms and hugged her shoulders tightly. Liubin said to take care and got on the horse and left, and Liuning shouted desperately behind him: "Brother, you must take care, don't do stupid things again." ”
"Don't worry." Liubin turned his head and smiled at Liuning and Tang Changyu, waved goodbye, those handsome peach blossom eyes seemed to be as bright as before, but when he turned around, he could no longer control his emotions, and tears rained down.
Bidding farewell to Liubin and Li Junzhi, Liuning and Tang Changyu stood at the gate of the city for a long time, the sun wrapped around them, but it was no warmer than their mutual dependence. I don't know how long it took, Tang Changyu took Liuning's hand, and Liuning heard his low and gentle voice in her ear and remembered, "Let's go, let's go home." ”
Let's go, let's go home.
Finally, Liuning heard this sentence again, after experiencing so many ups and downs, home is always the warmest existence in her heart. Especially now, she only has this home with Tang Changyu. She held Tang Changyu's hand back, looked at his side face, and smiled slightly. They can only rely on each other, and Tang Changyu can always give him sure warmth and comfort.
Back at home, Liu Ning felt a lot more relaxed, although family and friends were separated from each other, as long as they were safe with each other. As soon as she thought that she would be able to leave this place of right and wrong with her lover and fly together, she had an unreal sense of happiness. "Are we really going to leave right away? I still have a feeling of unreality. ”
Tang Changyu took Liu Ning into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the lips, and said, "Is it real now?" None of the words I have ever said have been fulfilled. Tang Changyu paused and said, "It seems that there are some things that I said that night that I have to do slowly, but I haven't done it yet." ”
Liu Ning remembered the situation that night, blushed unconsciously, and gently patted his hand on Tang Changyu's body, but Tang Changyu hugged him tighter. Tang Changyu looked at the beauty in his arms with a wicked smile, and Liuning also looked at him, it turned out that Tang Changyu, who had put down his burden and was at ease, was like this.
Thinking of this, Liu Ning suddenly felt a little uneasy, and asked, "Changyu, can you really let it go?" Your sense of responsibility for the righteousness of your family and country. ”
Tang Changyu suppressed the smile on his face, and said to Liuning: "A-Ning, you have to believe me, I can really let go this time." We have paid so much, so many people have shed so much blood, in exchange for a piece of clarity in Datang, we have done enough. ”
"I, Tang Changyu, in this life, are worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the country, my task has been fulfilled to this point, and there are some responsibilities that should be shouldered by later people, and we can't carry them for a lifetime. The only thing I'm ashamed of right now is you, Anin. In the future, it is the right way for us to retreat to the countryside and live a happy life as a family of three. ”
Liuning's heart was full of emotion and sweetness when she heard this, and what she admired even more was a man's determination to be able to afford to let go and the wisdom to see the world. It is not easy for a man to give up his fame and fortune for a woman, not to mention that Tang Changyu gave up more than that, he gave up everything, and what he left was the determination to give up everything for her.
The two of them were at a sweet time, but suddenly someone from the palace came to spread the word, saying that something big had happened in the palace, and the emperor announced that they should hurry into the palace. The two were puzzled, and couldn't figure out what else could happen after everything had been dealt with. But they did not dare to delay, and immediately set off on the road.
On the way, the two asked what happened to the little guy who came to pass the news, but the little guy refused to say, only said that the emperor was angry, and the two didn't ask again, but they both had a bad premonition in their hearts.
