At noon, Kunning Palace.

Although there is still some scorching sun in the sky, there is a south wind, and it is not so hot and sweaty, but it can be regarded as a beautiful wind and sunshine.

If there is no palace gate in front of you, it is similar to modern times.

Qi Tonghan straightened up, stood in the garden with his hands behind his back, and watched motionless as the florists watered and sorted out the flowers.

Chi Yan was sleepy about this, she really didn't understand why Qi Tonghan, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was so serious about appreciating flowers under such a blazing sun.

The flowers in the garden have withered a lot, and judging by her father's chatter all year round, it should be that she is not accustomed to the soil and water. It may be a famous flower transplanted from other places, Qi Tonghan looks at it with pity and distress.

"Why did you come to me?" On the hot day, Chi Yan was a little tired, and now, she just wanted to go back to the palace, and then lie down and sleep.

"I was only eight years old when my mother left." Qi Tonghan finally spoke, his voice was soft, and his tone was slightly cold, "Those flowers are my mother's favorite flowers when she was alive." What the queen mother likes is the flower far away in Gangneung, the flower of her mother country, which can't stand the heat. ”

It turned out that it was touching the scene, Chi Yan thought.

Qi Tonghan's eyes were still staring at the flowers in front of him, and he told the story on his lips, his tone was light, and he was a little pity, he said: "When the first emperor was alive, he once let people be transported from the distant Jiangling for the sake of Bo Muhou's smile, but after three years of transportation, he died eight times in the middle of the way......"

Chi Yan looked at Qi Tonghan, didn't listen to him continue to speak, opened his mouth, and asked softly: "Then, then what?" Have the flowers been successfully transplanted? ”

"Until one of them survives to the palace, but the queen mother is already dying." Qi Tonghan's eyes deepened, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, probably thinking of the past, he continued, "The first emperor held that hard-won flower, guarded in front of her, and wept until dawn. ”

"The last words left by the queen mother are that if there is an afterlife, you must love the first emperor." Qi Tonghan continued to tell the story, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and his tone was different, "Later, when it was dawn, the flowers couldn't stand the temperature here, and they withered, and the queen mother also left." ”

Chi Yan heard that Qi Tonghan, who had always called himself by me, was useless today, and he had been calling his mother and the first emperor, not the queen mother and his father, Chi Yan thought that Qi Yanhan might have many stories about the feelings of the first emperor, but she didn't dare to ask more.

After listening to this story quietly, Chi Yan asked, "What happened later?" ”

"There's no after." Qi Tonghan was silent for a moment, and said a little desolately, "I am already an orphan without a mother. ”

Hearing this, Chi Yan always felt that Qi Yanhan was warning her that even if she was now the queen mother, she could not treat him as a son, and in the heart of the first emperor, there was only his queen mother, the first queen, without her!

She didn't think she had to be a mother, besides, such a moody son, who could easily stand it.

But seeing Qi Yanhan's heavy face, Chi Yan naturally couldn't bear to be hit, and she comforted softly: "Don't be too sad, everyone will have times when they are born, old, sick and die, these are inevitable......"

"What about Rouge?" Qi Yanhan suddenly turned around and looked at Chi Yan.

"Huh?" What does this have to do with her?

"I—I'm going to die, too." Chi Yan didn't know how to speak for a while, "But, as long as I live, I won't leave you." ”
