Unforgettable (1)
Chapter 226: Unforgettable (1)
Autumn in the north is very short, so the red maple forest in the Jingqiu Garden is particularly precious.
The reason why Jingqiu Garden is named "Jing" is because there is almost no sound here except for the sound of birds flapping their wings and leaves falling to the ground, which is really quiet.
Entering the Jingqiu Garden, there are two rows of towering ginkgo trees on both sides, and the leaves of the ginkgo turn golden yellow, and when the golden sunlight shines through the golden leaves, it is reflected by the fallen leaves on the ground. As a result, this entire long ginkgo avenue is filled with golden light.
Someone walked and gently stepped on the golden fallen leaves, making a "squeak" sound, although it was very slight, but in such a quiet Jingqiu Garden, it still seemed a little abrupt.
The first person walked in, with golden boots and bright yellow robes in the corners, reflecting the bright colors around them, looking warm and noble.
Another man walked in, chiseled boots and a scarlet robe, three or four paces behind the man in front. The previous person was gentle, but this person seemed a little heavy.
"Wan Wan likes this ginkgo avenue very much, she said that she likes the feeling of stepping on the fallen leaves, she also likes the red maple forest in front, she said that because autumn is short and monotonous, it is not easy to have color, so you must cherish the ephemeral beauty in front of you." The first person spoke, his voice low and hoarse, with the charm of a male magnetic voice. When he said this, there was a faint sadness, remembrance and tenderness in his tone.
The people in the back didn't speak, hung their heads, and looked a little depressed.
"By the way, I shouldn't have said this in front of you, I almost forgot, you have been together longer than I have been with her, and naturally you know more about her preferences than I do." He smiled faintly and said with relief, "I didn't expect that I used so many means and spent so much effort to finally have her short two years, and it was the two years she hated me the most." ”
"Fourth brother, don't say that."
Xichen turned his head, looked at Xichao, smiled, and said, "I don't blame you, she's fine now, is she?" ”
Xichao gritted his teeth and nodded: "That King Qi, it is said that he is not bad to Ah Wan, but there is also a side concubine, who seems to be very rude, and she is the niece of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that Ah Wan will be bullied." ”
"She won't." Xichen said with certainty, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "No one will bully Wan Wan, even if you do, you will soon get retribution." You just have to look around me to know, where are all the people who used to bully Wan Wan now? They're all gone, wasted, dead. ”
Xi Chao was taken aback and asked, "Fourth brother, do you know?" You always knew that? ”
Xichen looked ahead, and said in a very light tone: "Well, I know." ”
"That'...... Do you hate Ah Wan? Xi Chao asked worriedly.
Xichen shook her head and smiled: "What she did may be exactly what I want to do, I love Wanwan so much, how can I tolerate others bullying her?" Since she wants to play, let her play, and those who are inconsequential will be disposed of by her. ”
Xi Chao was stunned and smiled bitterly: "So Ah Wan has done so much by your side, she thinks it is seamless, but you actually know it." It's just that you didn't say it. ”
"What does it matter? I owe her, after all. ”
Xi Chao opened his mouth, he wanted to ask, if Ah Wan even his mother ...... So, is he also so generous that he won't blame Ah Wan? However, Xi Chao didn't ask in the end, he didn't dare to guarantee that Xi Chen would be so generous that he could tolerate even his mother's death. In this world, no one should be able to tolerate it, right?
The two walked slowly until they reached the end of Ginkgo Avenue and saw the red maple forest.
The maple forest is dense, and there is no end in sight, only a fiery red maple leaf remains.
Between Ginkgo Avenue and the Red Maple Forest, there is a small bridge, and there is a pavilion on the bridge, which is called "Maple Forest Evening". The two walked to the bridge and sat in the pavilion, inlaid between gold and fiery red. For a while, there seemed to be no autumn monotony, only a burst of colors.
Xi Chao pondered and asked, "Fourth brother, have you actually thought about it...... Put down Ah Wan? ”
Xichen didn't answer immediately, just squinted, still looking at the ginkgo. After a long time, he said: "Because I had no choice but to depose Wan Wan and let her live in the Cold Spring Palace, I haven't seen her for a long time." The reason why I was so cold was that I couldn't get past a level. ”
Xi Chao immediately asked, "What level?" ”
Xichen glanced at him and said, "This, you don't need to know." When I was hesitant to face her again, she was taken away by Xiao Wumian and never returned. Do you know how much I regretted it at that time, I had killed so many people in my life, I was used to seeing so many dry bones, but I never regretted it. Including promising my father to inherit the throne and eradicate the prime minister's family, I have never regretted it. But that time, I regretted it, why did I hesitate, why did I let the snub Wan Wan ...... The longer I was separated from her, the more I missed her. She broke with me more and more, and I, I ......" he frowned, clutching his chest.
Xi Chao hurriedly went over to help him, and asked worriedly, "The cruelty is going to be poisonous again?" Fourth brother, since you came back from the southern country last time, the time of your poison attack has been getting closer and closer, and it will go on like this...... Is there really no cure in this world? ”
Xichen smiled with a white face and said: "If Sun Jian is still alive, maybe it can, but Sun Jian is dead, I'm afraid I ......" He suddenly grabbed Xi Chao's hand and stared at him tightly, "So, twelfth brother, in fact, this throne should have been yours, and the fourth brother only kept it for you for a few years, if I can't do it, I will return it to you...... Also, Wan Wan...... I can't let go of Wanwan, while I'm still alive, I'm going to find her, even if I die, I'm willing to ...... Willing to die in ......" Before he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell down crookedly.
Xichao was shocked, hugged him, and shouted: "Someone! Come on! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Tell the Imperial Doctor! ”
Xichen wiped the blood from his mouth, reluctantly sat down, and said, "Don't scream, I didn't let anyone follow, don't worry, I can't die yet." ”
"Fourth brother! You...... You're vomiting blood! ”
"Don't make a fuss, it's like this when the poison is released, fortunately, my internal strength is still suppressed."
Xichao lowered his head and bit his lower lip fiercely.
"Let's go, let's go back to the Qiangong, I have something Yao said to you." Xichen stood up and went back the way he came, although his body was unstable, he did not fall.
Xi Chao saw that his feet were floating, his nose was suddenly very sour, and he yelled at Xi Chen's back: "If I knew this, I wouldn't have fought with you for Ah Wan!" ”
Xichen paused, turned around, and said with a smile: "You, what a twenty-year-old hairy boy!" ”
Xi Chao walked quickly to his side and said, "Fourth brother, I'm only nineteen!" ”
Xichen patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go!" I really have something very important to tell you. ”
