Qi Hui wanted to tell his cousin that whether he could bring Xiangxiang back was not something he could decide alone, he and Xiangxiang walked this road together, what would happen in the future, Xiangxiang also looked forward to it. If she is hesitant and afraid, if she resists everything in front of her, as long as she speaks, even if she sacrifices the whole world, he will take Xiangxiang away.

But Xiangxiang is not that kind of person, she has experienced so much, they have long been heart-to-heart, Xiangxiang is not just for him to bear hardships, she already has the world in her heart, and she also carries the country on her shoulders.

The familiar imperial city, the familiar night, the familiar every road and every door, it is ridiculous to say, this place that is about to be abandoned by Qi Hui and Xiangxiang is the most familiar place for Qi Hui in this world, he can go to the place he wants to go with his eyes closed, and arrive at the Luo God Temple, the guards surrounded by layers outside the door are really useless, they have to be this errand, but no one is really towards the emperor.

In the quiet hall, the sandalwood is quiet, when Qi Hui enters the dormitory, Xiangxiang is kneeling on the futon, praying silently in front of the Buddhist shrine. Qi Hui knew that when people were powerless or even powerless to do anything in front of them, they often pinned their hopes on gods and Buddhas. And whether the gods and Buddhas really exist, after all, depends on whether each person's heart can be really strong, not so much that the gods and Buddhas protect the weak, but that the gods and Buddhas really bless the people who are strong and hard-working in their hearts.

Qi Hui slowly approached Xiangxiang, her body was still thin, and the back was distressing at a glance, but Qi Hui knew that his wife was a person who was blessed by gods and Buddhas, because she was stronger than anyone else.

Xiangxiang was originally devout to the scriptures, and suddenly felt someone approaching behind her, instinctively thinking that the emperor was running to embarrass her in the middle of the night, but then listen carefully to the footsteps, which was engraved in the depths of her heart, but at this moment it was tears flowing, seeing the person in her heart, what is strong and brave is no longer needed, there is a person in this world who will use his life to care for her.

"I'll help you up." Qi Hui approached Xiangxiang, holding her arms with both hands, feeling that her body was trembling, there were tears shining on her cheeks in the candlelight, Qi Hui gently hugged Xiangxiang into his arms, and a slight cry came into his ears, and Xiangxiang gradually buried his face in his chest.

They have been separated for so long, but they seem to have never left, every time Qi Hui successfully sneaked into the enemy camp and returned from the way back, he would think about Xiangxiang, and he also missed her on this return trip, so that he could return here calmly. Xiangxiang cried for a while and calmed down, his hands hooked Qi Hui's neck, just like the coquettish appearance at home before, Qi Hui hugged her horizontally, and couldn't help but kiss her on her wet face.

"I miss you." Xiangxiang said that her face was attached to the door of her husband's heart, and the powerful heartbeat was a symbol of life, and she wanted her man to live healthily.

"I should have come back sooner." Qi Hui said, hugged Xiangxiang and sat down on the couch, Xiangxiang was in his arms, there was no trace of estrangement, no strangeness, such trust and dependence, Qi Hui was very warm-hearted, and very distressed, he smiled, "If you drill again, you will get into my clothes." ”

Xiangxiang whimpered and stopped moving, but said: "You shouldn't come back, he's crazy, he may want to kill you, if he still has available people under his command, you can't come to see me so smoothly." ”

Qi Hui disdainfully: "Since I'm here, it can be seen that he has no one to use, but he is just relying on himself or the emperor to bluff, and his so-called letting go is nothing more than a death struggle in my opinion." ”

Xiang Xiang asked with a serious face: "Will you kill him?" ”

Qi Hui shook his head: "The war is not over yet, I can't shake the morale of the army, he still has the value of existence." This time it was his crazy edict, which stimulated the conflict within the army, and I had to separate from Shifeng soldiers as a last resort, which is simply an extra thing, except for seeing you, there is no other point in coming back this time. ”

Xiangxiang was worried: "Since he advocates peace talks, he will continue to obstruct you." ”

Qi Hui had a sharp look in his eyes, and said: "If it doesn't make sense, it's a big deal to kill him, as long as the people outside know that he is still alive." If it weren't for the fear that we would all leave Beijing, the paper here would not be able to contain the fire, and he would not have survived. ”

Xiang Xiang gently stroked his chest, hoping that her husband would calm down, she knew that if the murder could be solved, Qi Hui would not hesitate at all, and at this moment she was angry for a while. But the husband suddenly grabbed his hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it gently, she smiled and asked in a low voice, "You are hungry, my hands can't eat." ”

Looking at each other affectionately, Xiangxiang gradually blushed, and was embarrassed by her husband, in order to relieve the embarrassment, she reached out and pinched Qi Hui's face, and said with a smile: "In the future, the world will be peaceful, and you will take care of everything, but you will not look at me so affectionately." ”

"I will."

"What will be? Men are the best at talking. Xiang Xiang smiled, moved his body to sit up by himself, Qi Hui carefully put her down, felt her husband's hand touch his waist, Xiang Xiang asked, "Am I fat?" ”

Qi Hui shook his head, and Xiangxiang also sighed: "I thought I didn't feel fat when I looked at it every day, don't you think either?" Why hasn't it been shown yet, the doctor said that the child and I are fine, but why doesn't he grow up. ”

Qi Hui didn't understand either, and said nonsense: "Maybe the time is still short." But seeing that Xiangxiang's face changed, he remembered that after returning to Beijing, he heard about Concubine Jing's miscarriage, whether Xiangxiang was thinking of that innocent child or Song Jingshu, he knew that this matter must also have a blow to Xiangxiang himself.

"How long is your war, and you must come and pick me up sooner." Xiangxiang bit his lip lightly, slowly stood up, and said very calmly, "You go back, when you see the emperor later, you can do whatever you want, he won't hurt me or kill me, don't worry about me." ”

"I know."

"I'm ......," Xiangxiang snorted.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to go see Jingshu." Xiangxiang lowered his head and pulled Qi Hui's sleeves, his face was tangled and reverent, "I know I shouldn't care about her anymore, she became so cruel to me like that, but I can't help it, I can't be ruthless, and I don't know what I want to see or know." Don't blame me, I always feel that I have some responsibility for her to get to where she is today, but in this case, I will never tell her. If it was my fault at the beginning, I didn't force her to take the road later. ”

Qi Hui knew that Xiangxiang was still in Furong Ju at that time, they were not together yet, every time they talked about whether to leave the palace, Xiangxiang was very determined to go with Song Jingshu, and even refused Qi Hui's kindness because he couldn't go with Jingshu, maybe Xiangxiang was gone at that time, and they would not be together later.

Many things are not clear, such as the death of the first emperor and the death of Pang Jun are not in their plans, unexpected things happen all the time in life, but you can still make a choice between good and evil.

"I'm taking you now, do you want to look at her from afar, or do you want to walk in and talk to her?" Qi Hui asked.

"Just look at it from afar." Xiangxiang wiped away the tears on her face, and dragged her husband's arm like a child, making Qi Hui cry and laugh.

When Xiangxiang once again followed Qi Hui's pace and shuttled through the palace, she seemed to have returned to those years after the Dragon Boat Festival, although it was full of anxiety and hardship at that time, now recalling it, everything at the beginning was also so sweet that it was worth laughing at, and Qi Hui's recovery of his skills as before, also made Xiangxiang feel at ease.

It is easier to sneak into the Longevity Palace than to enter the Luo Temple, there are no dense guards here, it is just an ordinary palace, most of the palace maids and attendants are resting, and most of the people who are on duty at night are also dozing off. There was a dim light in the dormitory, Qi Hui pricked a needle in the neck of the palace maid on duty, and they couldn't wake up for a while, he took Xiangxiang directly from the door, and then through a window, you could see the figure inside.

Under the flickering candlelight, Jing Shu was sitting leaning on the head of the bed with a pillow, as if she was holding a child.

"The queen heard from the palace ladies that she has been like this for the past few days, like dementia." Xiangxiang frowned, "Is she really stupid?" ”

"Pang Qianyou's trouble to that point caused stupidity, she shouldn't be." Qi Hui said, sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Jing Shu inside seemed to be tired, and lay down with a pillow, Qi Hui said, "Don't you think, who is she waiting for?" ”

"Waiting for the Emperor to come and see her?" Xiangxiang looked at Jingshu's voice intently.

Qi Hui looked at his wife, some words came to his lips and did not come out, silently accompanied Xiangxiang for a while, and they returned the same way. When Xiangxiang returned to the Luo Temple safely, and it was time for them to separate, Qi Hui said that when he saw the emperor, it would be inconvenient to enter the palace again, but he would think of any opportunity to come to see Xiangxiang often. The two of them stayed warm for a while, and no one mentioned whether to leave or not, they had already made an agreement, so why bother to be entangled again and again at this moment.

And at noon the next day, when Xiangxiang was cooking for himself and the queen in the kitchen, he saw the little queen hurriedly running over and whispered to her: "Sister, Prince Shuo has entered the palace and is going to Mingde Palace. ”

Xiangxiang was not surprised, but the little queen fiddled with the flowers in her hand and muttered: "Those people with me all said that it would be good for Prince Shuo to be the emperor, and many people thought so, so they went to the front to see the excitement." Seeing that Xiangxiang almost didn't react, she asked anxiously, "Why is my sister not so happy, are you angry that Prince Shuo threw you here?" ”

Before the words fell, someone came in front of the door of the Luoshen Temple, and seemed to ask where Concubine Xiang was, and then broke into the kitchen, seemingly respectful but very unceremoniously said: "The emperor has a decree, Xuanxiang Concubine Niangniang will go to the Mingde Hall to meet her." ”

Xiangxiang put down the soup spoon in his hand, wiped his hands with his apron, and the eunuch said again: "Niangniang, the slave is waiting for you outside the door, please go to the Mingde Hall with the slave as soon as possible." ”
