Chapter 173: Prescient
After Nangong Yueyao came out of the Dragon Palace. and did not return to the Prince's Mansion. Xu is depressed. A single mind cannot be relieved. Full of thoughts, he unknowingly walked to the western suburbs of Dongcheng. Look around. The scenery that catches your eye. Except for the bare trees. Thick snow on the branches. and the snow that stretches out. I couldn't see anything else around me.
And at this time. Sky. It's still snowing.
Suddenly. A cold wind blew. The icy snowflakes fell into Nangong Yueyao's neck. Freeze him a spirit. Until this time. He just felt the cold. The bone-eating coldness penetrates from the soles of the feet to the deepest depths of the heart. It was so cold that he couldn't stop shivering. He didn't know that it was because his heart was cold. Or is it really so cold in this icy and snowy place?
Thinking about today's conversation with the emperor in the Dragon Palace. Nangong Yueyao's heart couldn't stop trembling. It hurts a little. It gradually spreads from the bottom of my heart. He doesn't understand. Why should my father be so ruthless? Why would you say something like that? Why be so cruel to him.
And what saddened him the most was that. His father actually hit him. From small to large. His father never beat him. And today. Father, Emperor, ......
That slap from his father really broke his heart. The queen mother went early. His father didn't care much about him. Childhood memories. It's all ......
Nangong Yueyao's mind was gentle and beautiful. Woman in noble dress. She loved him like a queen mother. He usually does something wrong. His father reprimanded him. The punishment was the gentle and beautiful woman who interceded for him. She looked at him with a very gentle look in her eyes. It's like the way the queen mother looks at him.
She even loved him more than the queen mother. He's sick. She's in a hurry more than anyone else. For him to rush in and out. Although there are palace maids and eunuchs. But she'll do it herself. Never fake hands on others. This. She is also even more like a mother. Once. He burned badly. It burned for three days and three nights. The fever subsided. And that time. The gentle and beautiful woman never sleeps. He stayed in front of his hospital bed for three days and three nights.
Not even the queen mother can do that. And that beautiful woman in a dress. And she did.
After that illness recovered. He began to call her queen mother.
In the beginning. He hates her. I always think she's fake. always thinks that she has robbed her father of his love. He at that time. I even thought it was because of her. His mother will die. Later. Slowly. He grew up. only intermittently from the mouths of the palace maids. From the words of my father. The queen mother's death was not because of the woman who dressed noblely. Rather, it is because the queen mother suffers from a congenital heart defect.
Until then. He knew the painstaking efforts of that gentle and beautiful woman. Wholehearted. For him. She didn't even have children herself. Just to keep him from feeling lost in his heart. Don't let him get hurt. That noblely dressed woman sacrificed so much.
For him to grow up healthily. To be considerate of his feelings. She gave up her right to be a mother. Whole-heartedly. Raise him as if he were his own son. Her love for him. Completely from the heart. There is not the slightest hypocrisy in it.
Because of understanding. His relationship with her deepened. Because I understand her painstaking efforts. He really began to treat her like his own mother. Call her queen mother from the heart. And it is also from him to untie the knot. Really treat her as a mother and then respect and love. He saw her really happy smile from the bottom of his heart. So beautiful. So memorable.
Also at that time. He really realized. For him. How much did the queen mother sacrifice.
Time flies by imperceptibly. When Nangong Yueyao woke up from her memories. It's getting completely dark. Nangong Yueyao smiled silently. The smile is a little bitter. Somewhat self-deprecating. He really doesn't know. If he doesn't become a prince. What else can be done.
Don't. Is it true that he will only be trapped in that luxurious cage for the rest of his life? A lifetime of living for responsibility. There is no freedom. Losing oneself.
I thought so in my heart. He wanted to escape from the luxurious cage that held him free. Remove the status of the crown prince. Be an ordinary ordinary person. Go and live a life of freedom and ease. Find a good place with good mountains and rivers. From now on, he will retreat to the mountains and forests. I went to live the days of idle clouds and wild cranes.
Nangong Yueyao is sane in the end. He's still being won by reason. If he leaves. How sad the queen mother must be. Saddened. The country that my father worked so hard to keep. And what to do. The ancestors worked hard to build the country. And how can he be ruined because of him?
Nangong Yueyao glanced at the sky that was getting darker and darker. Raise your feet and want to go back. only to find out. My feet are so cold that I can't move. He stood in the snow for too long, too long. I'm afraid my feet have been frostbitten. I can't walk anymore. Nangong Yueyao couldn't help but smile bitterly. Today. I'm afraid he won't be able to go back.
"Palace Master. This year, the snow has been falling for so long and shows no signs of stopping. If it falls again. I'm afraid it will cause a snow disaster." The breeze walked with a deep foot and a shallow foot. said to the woman in white beside him. The tone was a little worried.
If this snow goes down like this again; I'm afraid it will cause their shipping industry to stop. In this way. Their losses are not insignificant.
"It will stop in a few days. You. Don't worry too much. This is a natural disaster. It's not something we can stop. Even if this snow does fall for another ten days and a half months. We don't have to rush. It's just that. I'm afraid it will ......" Liu Fengxi paused slightly. smiled: "You go to the Intelligence Department tomorrow. Instructed the local church masters to do everything possible to buy grain and store it locally. If necessary. Go to other countries to buy food. Don't slack off."
"Palace Master. What do we do when we buy food?" A hint of doubt flashed in Qingfeng's eyes. Puzzled, asked.
Liu Fengxi smiled and said, "You don't need to know why. Just do what I tell you to do. You'll naturally find out when the time comes. This thing. It must be done in secret."
"Yes."
"Huh." Walking and walking. The breeze suddenly stopped. Pointing to a small black dot in front of him, he said. Palace Master. You see. There seems to be someone in front of ......."
Qingfeng is not a nosy person. It's just that. At this time, I saw someone in the ice and snow of this wilderness. No wonder she finds it weird.
"Oh." Liu Fengxi sighed softly. Look in the direction that Qingfeng's finger is pointing. She was shocked. I couldn't help but narrow my eyes slightly. There was a surprise in the peerless jasper's beautiful eyes, and it was fleeting. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How did he end up here.
Liu Fengxi instinctively wanted to leave. Turn around. Just took two steps. In the end, I think it's inappropriate. To the breeze on his side, he said, "Qingfeng. You go back first."
"Palace Master. Where are you going?" Qingfeng asked anxiously.
"I'll take a look." Take out the white veil you carry with you and cover your face. Say it. He walked towards the dark shadow in front of him.
"The Palace Master ......"
"You go back first." Liu Fengxi's voice was soft. But there is no doubt about it.
Helpless. Qingfeng had no choice but to respond." Yes."
