128 farewell to Youzhou City
"When we return to the capital, the sky will be warm." On the way, everyone was silent, and Xiao Luzi felt that the atmosphere was depressing, so he said loudly at the top of his voice.
Lang Kuo did not speak.
Zhao Zheng and Shen Yuexi in the carriage naturally did not speak.
Xiao Luzi looked at Lang Kuo with some embarrassment and smiled, didn't speak again, and hurried silently for a while, he couldn't help it, so he simply sang a small tune with his throat, in the official road where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, it is a little remote.
The mountains are high and the water is long, the water is long, the road is far away, the road is far and difficult to walk, and the difficulty of walking can't stop the thoughts, the mountains and rivers are long to see you...... Xiao Luzi sang a folk slang tune, which he learned from the villagers when he was a child, and later when he was older, he came out with the villagers to find a living, and someone in the township worked in the Kangping Palace, and gave him to the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince, seeing that he was smart, left him by his side and made a small follower.
Shen Yuexi listened to the lyrics and was a little distracted.
The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and the road is far and difficult, but I still want to come to see you, what about after seeing it? I still have to separate.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi sighed secretly, and then lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the distant scenery outside, such a scenery will not be seen again in the future, and she will never come back to Youzhou City.
Life is strung together by such partings one after another.
But where did the clumsiness come about?
This question jumped out of Shen Yuexi's mind again, and then he felt even more stunned.
"How about we stay in the border city for a few more days? Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go back. Seeing Shen Yuexi looking out of the carriage in a daze, Zhao Zheng spoke.
He was afraid that Shen Yuexi would be silent, and he was afraid that she would think of it.
"Oh, good." Shen Yuexi replied casually, but her eyes remained outside the curtain.
"Last time, I only cared about inquiring about the news, and I didn't have a good time looking at the border city, how about you take me to the border city this time?" Zhao Zheng asked again.
"Oh, good." Shen Yuexi responded again.
"Joyful ......"
"Huh?" Shen Yuexi still didn't look back.
Zhao Zheng didn't say anything more, and looked out along the curtain opened by Shen Yuexi, Shen Yuexi was far away from him, and he inexplicably began to feel this way.
This feeling made him very frustrated and uneasy, although Shen Yuexi followed him back, but what he came back was just a shell.
In order to eliminate this uneasiness, when he arrived in the border city and stayed at the inn, at night, Zhao Zheng gently hugged Shen Yuexi, kissed her, and stroked her, he wanted to use the joy of fish and water to prove that they were close enough.
But Shen Yuexi was not interested, she coped with Zhao Zheng's kiss, and then, she said that she felt very tired.
Since leaving the General's Mansion, there has been no skin-to-skin relationship between them, at first Zhao Zheng was worried about Shen Yuexi's emotions, then Shen Yuexi was sick, and now, Shen Yuexi said that she was very tired.
"After sitting in the carriage for so long, it will be bumpy all the way, and it will indeed be tiring, so it will be good to rest for two days." Zhao Zheng hugged Shen Yuexi, comforted him softly, and stopped moving.
But two days later, Shen Yuexi was still happy.
She was not like this in the past, before coming to the frontier, every time they were together, Shen Yuexi had a kind of indulgent wildness, and when she stretched out her arm to wrap around Zhao Zheng, there was a sinking decision.
Zhao Zheng couldn't stop being tempted by such Shen Yuexi, and he was entangled to death again and again, with happiness without hesitation.
But now it's different, Shen Yuexi has no interest in everything, not only is she resistant to the joy of bedding, but she even has few words.
Zhao Zheng tried not to guess why Shen Yuexi was like this, only tried to understand her, maybe she was really too tired, since she chose to go back to the capital with him, it means that she has feelings for him, so he is willing to wait, and when her emotions recover, it will be the same as before.
So from then on, they shared the same bed, and Zhao Zheng would still convey his desire to be happy, but as long as Shen Yuexi didn't respond positively, he would stop and only hug her gently.
Shen Yuexi leaned on Zhao Zheng's arms, closed his eyes, and only felt that it was barren.
**
Because he was not in a hurry to return to the capital, and he took care of Shen Yuexi's body, the way back to the capital was very slow.
From the border city to the town of Black Cliff, they walked for more than 20 days.
Zhao Zheng thought that Shen Yuexi liked to eat the seafood pot there, so he planned to stay in Black Cliff Town for a few more days.
Shen Yuexi had no objection, she left Youzhou City, there was no clumsiness, no matter where she went or how long she stayed, it didn't matter.
When they arrived in Black Cliff Town, Zhao Zheng and his entourage stayed in the same inn where they came, and the innkeeper still remembered them, so he greeted them more attentively, and gave them a large plate of clams to eat at dinner.
This kind of shellfish is very precious in the next place, but in the town of Black Cliff, which guards the sea, it is a very common food.
In the mud on the seashore of Black Cliff Town, there are many such clams.
"It's spring, but it's still a little cold, otherwise you can go to the beach and dig clams, and you'll find it fun." The innkeeper said enthusiastically.
Shen Yuexi listened to it and smiled, she had dug clams with Hu Zhuo in the past, which was indeed very interesting.
"In another month, it will be warmer, and spring here always comes later." With that, the innkeeper left the room.
A few people sat around, eating clams dug out of the sea mud, because of this rare umami, but also forgot the fatigue of the journey.
The next day, Zhao Zheng and Shen Yuexi took advantage of the warmest time in the afternoon to go for a walk on the beach.
The town of Black Cliff is not large, and the houses are scattered all over the place, and the residents are far away from each other.
Because of the cold, the fish do not come close to the shore, so the fishermen rest at home, and the boats are leaning against the mudflats by the sea, held in place by a long anchor and pulled by a rope.
Shen Yuexi likes to see these docked fishing boats very much, and she has a feeling of tired birds returning to their nests.
The sea was very windy, and even with the hat around the cloak, the tip of Shen Yuexi's nose and cheeks were still slightly red from the cold. Northerners often say that spring is warm and cold, sometimes colder than winter, and it is the kind of gloomy and moist cold that penetrates into the bones through the skin.
"Go back, don't get the chill." Zhao Zheng reached out and touched Shen Yuexi's cold face and said.
Shen Yuexi looked at the boundless sea, reluctant to leave, "Just stay a little longer." ”
Zhao Zheng didn't say anything anymore, and wrapped Shen Yuexi completely with his cloak to help her keep warm.
The two of them stood quietly on the beach for a long time.
In the face of the endless sea, human beings will feel their own insignificance, so the sadness will be lighter.
"Let's just stay here." After a long time, Shen Yuexi said.
Zhao Zheng was stunned, "How long will you stay?" ”
"All the time."
Zhao Zheng did not answer. In this town, the power to live for a while is gone, and if you live all the time, you need to think about it carefully, does he Zhao Zheng really want to spend the rest of his life in a seaside town?
"Have you ever thought about what awaits me once I return to the capital?" Shen Yuexi asked.
"I know."
Of course, Zhao Zheng thought that the emperor must have known Shen Yuexi's identity, and after returning to the capital, he didn't know whether the emperor would pursue the matter or turn a blind eye.
"So what if the emperor investigates it?"
"If the emperor really refuses to give up, then I will be the king and dominate everything." Zhao Zheng's voice did not fluctuate at all, as if he was talking about a light thing.
The corners of Shen Yuexi's mouth showed a gloomy smile, she was very satisfied with this answer, if Zhao Zheng was the king, she would be the queen, not only could she redress the Shen family's crimes, but when the time came, no matter which country's general did the case, she could go to Xingshi to ask for the crime.
She Shen Yuexi needs supreme power to bless her.
After pretending for so long, she was very happy to finally get Zhao Zheng's promise.
In order to achieve her goal, she even sacrificed her relationship with Clumsiness.
"But getting on the throne is not easy." After Shen Yuexi restrained her smile, she said lightly.
"If I want to sit, I can sit on it, and if I want to sit, I have been sitting ten years ago." There is a mystery in Zhao Zheng's words.
He still regrets that when the emperor secretly summoned him and asked him if he was interested in the throne, he shook his head.
Otherwise, Yue Xi would not have died. The Shen family will not be assigned, and everything will look different.
But Zhao Zheng back then just wanted to be a couple with Yue Xi for the rest of his life and live a quiet life without quarrel with the world.
But Zhao Guang has always been guarding against Zhao Zheng and deliberately getting rid of the important people around him. Because Yue Xi was the daughter of the secretary of the military department, Zhao Guang was afraid that after she married Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng's power would be strengthened, so he sent someone to assassinate Yue Xi during a hunt.
Everyone has always rumored that Zhao Zheng killed Yue Xi by mistake while hunting, but Zhao Zheng knew that the arrow was not shot by him.
When Zhao Zheng secretly met with Yue Gan, he informed him of this, and Yue Ganshi believed in Zhao Zheng, but Zhao Guang had ascended the throne, everything was a foregone conclusion, and if the confrontation would only kill and wound more, Yue Ganshi would resign from the old man and withdraw from the treacherous court struggle after the new emperor ascended the throne.
Yue Xi became the most innocent victim.
"There must never be a second Yuexi in my life." Zhao Zheng said coldly.
At that time, he was too young, and the young man would only endure it. This forbearance is ten years.
Shen Yuexi became more and more determined, presumably Zhao Zheng must have something in his hands that could restrain Zhao Guang.
So she turned around and looked at Zhao Zheng, "I will definitely not be the second Yue Xi, I will live for a long time and always be by your side." ”
Zhao Zheng hugged Shen Yuexi in his arms more tightly, for fear of losing. She is his light, his warmth, and the medicine for the resurrection of his heart that has been dead for many years.
He couldn't live without her.
That night, when Zhao Zheng begged for pleasure again, Shen Yuexi responded softly. She closed her eyes, and there was a clumsy face in front of her, and when she opened her eyes, she was in front of Zhao Zheng's face, and she simply sank completely in these two virtual and real faces.
Anyway, from the moment she woke up from the Kangping Mansion and decided to redress the Shen family, she was no longer the simple Shen Yuexi she used to be.
