Chapter 356: Farewell
Zhou Shuxuan didn't sleep all night.
I used to be busy or uncomfortable and couldn't sleep, but it was the first time I couldn't sleep because I was happy.
After feeding Miaoli and drinking the medicine, she stayed by the bedside, staring at her without turning her eyes, for fear that she would disappear. I'm afraid this is a beautiful and unrealistic dream, as long as he closes his eyes, everything will go back to the way it was.
Miaoli was stared at by him very helplessly, under such a gaze, it was impossible for her to sleep, sighed in her heart, and asked, "What are you looking at?" Don't keep staring at me like that, I'll be gone. ”
Zhou Shuxuan sat upright, still staring at her intently, and there were words in his mouth, "No, no, no, I must look at you, otherwise I will wake up from this dream while I am not paying attention." ”
He was still immersed in surprise and couldn't get out for a while. It came too suddenly, it still felt like a dream, and I couldn't believe that I had survived it.
I explained to him many times, and told him that this was indeed not a dream, and he still didn't believe it, and Miao Li couldn't do anything.
Seeing that his hair was a little damp, it was not completely dry, and it should have been saved by him. After saving her, he had to set her free, probably really scared him, and he didn't bother to clean himself up.
In fact, this time, it really wasn't her intention, she was really drunk and in a trance, and she didn't even know how she fell. But it's true that I didn't want to live.
It's so dangerous, it's that she really has a creation. Only then did she escape death again and again, and she could have a relatively satisfactory result. What happened in the past is indelible, and she can only let herself not deliberately think about it.
Seeing that he had these things in his house without any warning, he suddenly wanted to open them. After listening to what he said, I forgave him more thoroughly.
Everyone has their own difficulties, and he can't be blamed for all those things. He has been working very hard to make amends, trying very hard to atone for his sins, and has exhausted all kinds of ways. Be careful to please, condone, force, basically do everything you can.
In the end, I really felt that there was no hope, and I was willing to let her go. knew that his heart should be full of reluctance, but he could still force himself to say those cruel words.
Even if she regains her freedom, it is impossible to meet someone who is as good to her as possible for her, and for her to guard herself like a jade, even if she has a stepchild without problems, she is not willing to have one with someone else. She may not be able to meet such an ordinary man, let alone the emperor.
There is also the most important question, how much she can't let go of her resentment. Although she herself is reluctant to admit it, this is indeed an indisputable fact.
Well, now, it's finally getting better.
Miao Li got up from the bed, picked up the cotton cloth that was put aside and wanted to help him wipe his hair, quickly dried and lay down on the bed to sleep. Zhou Shuxuan looked a little flustered, "No, just lie down by yourself, and you'll do it in a while." ”
Miao Li sat on the bed and explained seriously, "But if you don't go to bed all the time, I can't sleep." The room was brighter than daytime, and I couldn't sleep. ”
Zhou Shuxuan looked around, as if it was true, took the cotton cloth in her hand, and let her lie back, "Then I'll go out immediately, you sleep well." ”
"What are you doing out so late?"
"I'll go and lie down in the side hall for a while." Zhou Shuxuan helped her tuck the quilt, as if he remembered something, and said with an explanation, "It's about to be the time of the morning dynasty, I will definitely make noise to you when I wake up later, you can sleep a little longer." ”
I was afraid that she would think too much, thinking that he didn't want to sleep with her. Now it is necessary to nip every misunderstanding in the bud, and they can no longer have any misunderstandings.
With such a cautious appearance, Miaoli was uncomfortable and distressed. But this is only the first night, and when the time grows, he will definitely change it.
Miao Li nodded and said, "Okay, you have to rest well, too." ”
Miao Li watched him go out, lay on the bed and continued to look at the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang. She may have been the first to drive the emperor to the side hall to sleep, this feeling is really indescribable.
Zhou Shuxuan's eyes were stared until dawn, but he was not tired at all. People are highly excited and look better than when they have slept well.
Miaoli's congratulations to him yesterday have come true, his wishes have come true, everything goes well, and there is nothing else to ask for.
Wei Hai secretly glanced up, and saw that he was beaten with chicken blood, as if he was too excited. Is it because you want to go to Xichang Mansion?
It's understandable to be a little excited, because there are many beauties over there, what is the emperor so excited about?
Wei Hai didn't understand it very well, but he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the carriage and horses have been prepared, and you can set off today." ”
Leave?
Zhou Shuxuan asked, "Where to go?" ”
"Xichang Mansion, didn't the emperor say that he would leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival? Now that everything is ready, the accounts of the household department can be cleared in the morning, and the emperor can set off in the afternoon. ”
Zhou Shuxuan now remembered that he was indeed going to Xichang Mansion soon, and he had to take over a place, he had to go and see it, and the time was also set by himself. Wei Hai and the others also persuaded him, so that he didn't have to arrange so tightly. He thought that time was passing little by little, and winter was coming soon. It will take a while to go back and forth, and if it is delayed, it may not be able to catch up with next year's spring ploughing.
Compared with the frontier land of Xichang, he still has to guard the fertile land of the Central Plains first.
But he didn't expect that great things would happen on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they were reconciled again, and the first thing they faced was actually separation, as if someone was playing with him.
But it has been arranged, and if you don't leave today, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. After such a long war, there is no money left in the treasury, and he can no longer be allowed to squander.
Zhou Shuxuan was very reluctant and could only say: "Then go down to the court early today, if there is anything, you can write an excerpt and hand it over, and I will go back and prepare for it." After the accounts of the household department are settled, they will be handed over to me as soon as they are settling. ”
After a few more words, the dynasty dispersed.
Zhou Shuxuan couldn't wait to run to Longde Palace, wanting to go back and tell Miaoli about it. The thought of parting made him feel uncomfortable.
Miaoli has just gotten up now, she usually sleeps very late, wakes up very late, and gradually develops a habit. I just had breakfast, and now I'm about to drink medicine.
In the past few years, I am afraid that the medicine she drank will be filled in a jar, and she is really afraid to drink it. Now I'm playing tricks with Mama Xi, "Mama, I don't think there's anything wrong with me, I don't need to drink medicine at all." ”
"If there is nothing wrong with Niangniang, how can the imperial doctor prescribe medicine to Niangniang?"
"That's because they prescribed some dispensable medicine in order to deal with the emperor. It's three parts poison of medicine, and it's really not good to drink too much medicine. ”
Mama Xi knelt on the ground, "Yesterday, it was the slave maid who didn't take good care of her, so she let Niangniang fall into the water, and Niangniang has to drink medicine now." Niangniang must be blaming the slave maid in her heart, so Niangniang simply gave the slave and maid to death. ”
"No, no, I really don't mean that, can't I drink it?"
Mama Xi looked up at her, and Miao Li helplessly picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all.
Zhou Shuxuan walked over with a smile and witnessed everything just now, the people around her were fighting wits and courage with her, and they knew how to make her obedient, and they should be able to take care of her.
Then he is relieved, and there may not be many problems with leaving for a while.
Zhou Shuxuan went over and sat down, pinched a date and put it in her mouth, Miaoli bit it and asked vaguely, "Why did you come back so soon?" ”
"Come back and pack up my things, I'm going to leave for Xichang this afternoon, it's set before, saying that I'll leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
That's the case, I definitely didn't consider whether she was reluctant to give it up before. After all, before last night, she didn't care where others were, wishing he wasn't in the palace.
"And how long are you going?"
"I don't know, the distance to come and go, plus to look around, it may take a while."
There is still a distance from Xichang to the capital, and it is impossible for him to rush as desperately as the eldest princess and them, and it is estimated that it will take more than a month to go back and forth. If you have to look around, it will take two or three months.
Miao Li calculated the time and said, "When you come back, it's almost the New Year." ”
"It should be after the beginning of spring, and the plan is to look around, so it will take longer."
Miao Li nodded, Xichang has such a big place after all. "It's getting colder and colder, it seems that it's colder over there than in the capital, you have to be careful not to catch the cold, you can wear more clothes. It may be uncomfortable, so it's best to bring another doctor over. And it's not possible for everyone to surrender, so you'd better bring more guards and stay safe. ”
Zhou Shuxuan looked at her babbling speech, and every sentence was really thinking about him. If it weren't for the long distance, the bumpy journey, and her poor health, he really wanted to take her with him.
Miao Li thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was nothing more to ask. He has someone around him to take care of, and he will definitely help him think of this, and she will only remind him at most. "It seems that there is nothing more to say, anyway, you just need to be careful in everything."
Zhou Shuxuan smiled and asked, "Is there really no instruction?" ”
"That's all I can think of." Miaoli tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Don't be too tired, pay attention to rest." ”
"You've thought about so many issues, but you haven't considered one very serious one."
"What?"
"What if I miss you?"
Miao Li thought about it seriously, and gave him an answer very seriously, "Hold it!" ”
Otherwise, what else can he do, the difference that cannot be changed, he must go.
Zhou Shuxuan has been going out for a long time this time, and this time he has been out much longer than they imagined. I expected to be back at the latest in spring, but I didn't expect it to be hot until the day. The cicadas in the trees were singing, and summer had already come, so he returned to the capital.
When he returned to the capital, he did not rest for a moment, and continued to be busy with the affairs of the court.
