Chapter 35: Sending You Away (1)
The vast Reva Palace is alone, quiet as a graveyard, and he is a lonely ghost floating around, the passage of time has worn away his enthusiasm and turned into a lifeless pool of stagnant water.
Now that there is hope of going out, Chu Jun doesn't want to stay for a moment, she clutches Su Ao's sleeve tightly and pleads, "Can you take me out of here?" ”
"Leave?"
"Yes." Chu Jun cherished tears in his eyes, "As long as you don't stay here, no matter where you go." ”
Su Ao took her hand and sat down on the stone bench next to her, "Jun Xi, you listen to me." ”
Chu Junxi's eyes were red, tears overflowed her eyes, and they could fall down at any time, looking at her Chu Chu moving, but Chu Chu pitiful appearance, Su Ao seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle in her heart. He is only a lieutenant general now, an insignificant little person, the emperor will definitely not marry the princess to himself, and he does not have the ability to let her live a happy life.
"Jun Xi, you wait for me for three years, and I will definitely take you out of here after three years." Su Ao made the most sincere vow in this life, "After three years, I will definitely let you live a happy and carefree life." ”
During the war period, Su Ao, as a general, naturally had to go to the battlefield, which was different from the previous heart, at this moment he had more concern in his heart, thinking of the figure waiting for his return, he couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness in his heart.
Every time they meet, they become more and more precious, knowing that Chu Junxi likes to eat pastries, every time Su Ao will bring different pastries, the two of them snuggle up to each other and then together, imagining a better future while eating pastries.
"Sorry, wait for my last time." Su Ao, who was already a general, held Chu Junxi's hands on his chest, "I swear that this is the last time, and when I come back, I will ask my father to explain our affairs to the emperor and ask the emperor to fulfill us." ”
Chu Junxi nodded, "I'll wait for you, no matter how long I wait, I'll wait for you." ”
This time the wait seemed to be longer than before, and Chu Junxi sat on the threshold of the main hall every day, looking in the direction of the door, imagining that the familiar figure was coming from there.
The bright moon hangs high, shining on the people who are waiting, lonely and cool.
The huge courtyard, a heart waiting for the return of the sweetheart, eager with anxiety.
The faint light at the arch was cast, Chu Junxi stood up, moving her legs that had become numb from squatting for too long, the light became brighter and brighter, and her heart beat nervously.
Coming in was a group of people, led by a prison guard in a blue palace robe, with a black palace hat on his head, a red tassel blowing on his chest, and white floating dust in the crook of his arm, and he held a bright yellow scroll in both hands.
Since his mother's death, no one has stepped into this place, and now, he is holding the holy decree in his hand, and Chu Jun cherishes a bad premonition in his heart.
"The Seventh Princess takes the order." The unique shrill voice of the inner supervisor sounded in his ears.
Chu Junxi slowly walked in front of the inner prison and knelt down......
Until the inner supervisor finished reading the holy decree and the group left, Chu Junxi was still kneeling there, holding the Ming Huang holy decree in his hand, his eyes were empty and his expression was numb.
And pro? Princess Ninghe?
Chu Jun smiled bitterly, does his father still remember that he has a daughter, this is the fate that the man he respects as his father arranges for himself?
Harmony means that he and Su Ao have no future at all, and from now on, they will never see each other.
The grievances and anger that had been enduring for many years broke out at this moment, roaring in his chest like a flood breaking through a hole, surging violently, mad Chu Jun tore the holy decree in his hand until the words on the scroll turned into confetti and could no longer be pieced together.
After venting, Chu Jun fell to the ground like a loss of strength, she cried profusely, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks and fell into the dirt.
A strong big hand helped her up, gently wiped the tears from her face, and then gently hugged her into his arms, "Don't cry." ”
Chu Junxi hugged him with his backhand, and kept exerting force with both hands, as if in this way he could keep this person by his side forever, and they would never have to be separated again.
The rain fell all night, as if washing away the sadness in his heart, and the next day the emperor summoned him, and Chu Junxi's heart had calmed down.
For the first time in more than ten years, he walked out of this hall and came outside, everything outside was unfamiliar to Chu Junxi, the red walls and green tiles carved beams and paintings, the majestic and magnificent palace was continuous layer by layer, and the flowers in the imperial garden were full of flowers and the fragrance was charming.
The Imperial Palace, the Emperor's Residence, the most magnificent palace in the country, but Chu Jun was in no mood to appreciate it, she looked at the front of her like water, and turned a blind eye to the beautiful scenery around her.
In the imperial study, there was a middle-aged man sitting at the back of the desk, with a sparse beard on his chin, his eyes were clear and bright, revealing the majesty of the king.
This man is his father, the father who let himself ignore in the corner of the lonely palace, it turns out that he looks like this, and he saw his father for the first time in sixteen years? Is he as alien to himself as he is to him?
The four eyes are facing each other, one is resolute and stubborn, and the other seems to be sad.
Even though there were a thousand words in his heart and thousands of questions to ask, Chu Junxi just knelt down respectfully with a calm face and said nothing.
The emperor opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything, he waved his hand, and the palace people in the house rushed out.
The people above didn't speak for a long time, Chu Jun looked up suspiciously, and the emperor's eyes were far-reaching, as if he was recalling the past, with a hazy smile on his face.
Seeing her looking at herself, the emperor pointed to the chair next to her. Chu Junxi stood up and walked to the chair next to him and sat down.
originally thought that the other party had something to say to himself, or had a task to tell him, but to Chu Jun's surprise, his father did not speak from beginning to end, sometimes he looked at himself in a daze, and sometimes he looked out the window in a daze.
The green smoke of the Jinyi smoker rises and exudes a faint aroma, which is a very comfortable taste.
For this father who has never met before, Chu Junxi is also full of curiosity, although he hates the other party in his heart, he still can't help but look at it secretly, but he only sees the other party's back,
The golden sunlight shone in through the window, as if gilding him with a golden coat, for some reason, Chu Junxi suddenly had an inexplicable thought, she felt that this back was very lonely and lonely.
Is it your own delusion? He is the emperor who is high, deciding the life and death of everyone in Hou Yan, and one sentence can change his fate, there are countless concubines in the harem, and everyone revolves around him, how can he be lonely and lonely?
Thinking of everything he had suffered, the happiness that was within reach was wiped out in front of him, Chu Jun couldn't help but feel a burst of hatred, he would never forget this back, and it was all thanks to him that he would become what he is now.
Su Ao.
Suddenly thinking of something, Chu Junxi knelt down on the ground, "My daughter has a request, please ask my father to agree." "The first time he called himself a daughter, and the first time he called out the word father, Chu Jun was very embarrassed.
The man standing in front of the window turned around, his confused eyes brightened slightly.
"With the pro-envoy, my daughter hopes that General Su will be in charge." After he arrived in Gutuo, the two would never see each other again, so he would send him on his last journey, and let this farewell end the feelings that he didn't have time to enjoy.
The emperor nodded slightly and sat down on the upper seat.
Chu Jun regretted not seeing his eyes, "Father Xie." ”
Neither of them spoke, and the study was quiet as if no one was there.
Chu Junxi looked up at the sky, it was already time to set off.
Without looking at himself or speaking, Chu Jun couldn't guess the emperor's purpose for letting him come to the imperial study.
The inner eunuch who read the decree walked in from outside, saluted the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, the time has come for Princess Ning and Princess to set off." ”
The emperor seemed to be very tired, he looked at Chu Junxi and said, "Go ahead." ”
Chu Junxi got up and walked to the door, she couldn't help but look back, what she saw was still her back, his 'go' lingering in her ears, she should hate him, but she found that she couldn't hate it at the moment.
The sound of going is full of vicissitudes, including helplessness, and there seems to be a trace of reluctance.
