Chapter 91: Lonely Shadow
Chapter 91: Lonely Shadow
In the first month of the third year of Chang'an, the three kings rebelled, and Li Yan sent the general Li Dang to send troops, and the front line was difficult. In June, she urgently summoned Xiao Heng, the king of Zhao, and Chen Bing personally recruited. The army pressed the border, and the three kings were defeated, which solved the urgent need. In the winter month, King Zhao led the three armies back to the dynasty.
In the late spring of four years, Xiaoli waited for the king to return. The smoke and rain stained her clothes, wetting her green silk for three thousand. Li Yan greeted the three armies and ten miles of pavilion, but only saw Xiao Chonghua riding alone. She hadn't seen him for almost two years, and he was still the same as in her memory, but it diluted the resentment in her heart and multiplied the lovesickness. Now I know, enter my lovesick door, know that I am lovesick, only sigh lovesick alone, this situation is what a day.
"Chonghua, you're back. "A thousand words, only turned into one sentence, she is not an emperor, just a woman who has been waiting for her husband to return for a long time.
The flowers are charming, and the red flies on the ground. After two years, the immature emperor in her memory is now the power of the emperor at a glance, and she has grown up. Xiao Chonghua didn't know what was wrong with him, his heart that had not been excited for a long time was very excited at the moment, but he had always been happy in front of others, so he bowed, "Your Majesty, the minister is back." ”
Hearing this, Li Yan smiled lowly, and the heads of the civil and military officials behind her consciously bowed their heads, the grievances of the husband and wife, they really can't get involved. One is the Ninety-Five Supreme, and the other is powerful, and no one can afford to offend.
"Bring the wine. Li Yan gave a faint order, personally helped Xiao Chonghua up, smiled official and polite, and said: "The three kings are in chaos, and the people are innocent, and they are all pardoned." The regent has worked hard and made great achievements, and the land of Chu is rich, and it is up to you to make it your own in the future. ”
Xiao Heng glanced at Li Yan without a trace, took the wine handed over by the waiter, thoughtfully, but heard her laugh, "Don't be afraid, the wine is not poisonous." ”
This style of behavior is really breathtaking. Xiao Chonghua drank it all, and he was still thinking in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor didn't know which teacher he was learning from, and he learned such a style of doing things, which won his heart. "The Ministers are grateful. ”
Li Yan withdrew the people around her, there was no one else in the ten-mile long pavilion, they stood outside the pavilion, looked at each other, Xiao Chonghua said: "Your Majesty, the minister owes Your Majesty a lot, but it is too late to meet, Your Majesty is still young, you can make another plan." ”
"How are you going to do it?" Li Yan asked rhetorically, turning her back to him, "You don't owe me, it's my Li family who owes you the Xiao family." Let's go, Xiao Heng, King of Chu, the life and death of the widow in the future has nothing to do with you. ”
"Your Majesty......" Xiao Chonghua stretched out his hand to brush away the raindrops on her clothes, but it hung down in vain, although he and her were husband and wife, but after all, he was responsible for her, "It's my fault, if there is anything in the court in the future, Xiao Heng will live and die." ”
Li Yan coughed lightly a few times and said with a low smile: "Okay, the widow remembers today's promise, if he is old and Qin, when the wind and rain are coming, you need to remember today's events, this is what you owe me, and I will return it to the people of Dawn." ”
From today onwards, she doesn't remember the past many years ago, she only wants to be the emperor of Great Qin, and he has his own beauty to accompany him, and his red sleeves add fragrance.
Seeing that she wanted to leave, Xiao Chonghua said again: "Jiuli Daidi, please ask Your Majesty for a favor?"
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Li Yan said.
"The acting king is unethical, but the court does not have the intention of abolishing the prince, and the prince has already rebelled out of the dynasty, and has made great contributions to the suppression of the rebellion, so when the king and his family were punished, the minister dared to leave Li Qingshi's life. Xiao Chonghua is in Qingshi, but he is a nodding friend, but now he has not woken up, Qingshi is her friend, he doesn't want her to wake up one day, the old person is not there.
"Merit and demerit are offset, he is a free body, the world is great, go with him. Qing Shi is the most carefree person in the world, she hopes that he will always be like this, when Li Yan left, the spring rain suddenly fell heavily, she stopped, turned around, looked at Xiao Chonghua who had already got on the horse, and asked: "Xiao Chonghua, today's matter, no regrets in this life?"
"No regrets. Xiao Chonghua took a long breath and arched his hand.
"Well, if you don't regret it, I'll ask you one more question. What you love now is Xie Yaoyao now, or Xie Yaoyao in the past. She looked solemnly, word by word, asking her own heart and her last hope.
Xiao Chonghua's vision was blurred by the spring rain, and he suddenly felt that the emperor who turned back not far away was actually the sweetheart he had been waiting for for many years, this illusion lingered in his heart for a long time. It's just that the man is still sleeping in Jiuli Garden, how can he think about the side, and said, "What's the difference? From beginning to end, it's just her." ”
"Xiao Chonghua, I thought it was just me who was blind, but I didn't expect your heart to be blind too. Li Yan thought that she would never cry again from that year, but when she heard him say this, she still wet the sleeves of her spring shirt with tears, and her heart was cold when she waited for him to turn back, and there was no way back to the past between them after all, "Farewell to two places, each life is happy, you and I don't want to see each other again in this life." ”
No matter how deep the love is, it can't resist the passing of time, in this case, why not forget each other in the rivers and lakes. This time, she walked resolutely and did not look back. Xiao Chonghua watched the emaciated back leave, his heart was surging, a breath of blood came up, and there was a taste of blood between his lips and teeth.
What should I do, you wake up quickly.
After the three kings were exterminated, the situation of the court became more stable, and the former prince of the previous generation, who had always disappeared from the forefront, was taken into the Weiyang Palace by His Majesty the Emperor, and everyone thought that Li Qingshi would be the next regent, but their Majesty was indifferent.
Watching the season enter the middle of winter, the weather is cold, the leaves are falling, and the snow is drifting.
Li Yan rubbed her forehead gently, since she was injured that year, she fell ill, often had a head attack, her body was as cold as ice, and the cold weather today also made her very difficult. She put down the Zhu Pi in her hand, and was about to get up and walk around, and when she warmed up, Xiao Zhuohua came in. "What's wrong?"
"Ayan, Qing Shi is not very good. Xiao Zhuohua said gloomily. She actually didn't know this acting prince before, but when Li Yan took him into the palace in May this year, he was already very haggard. After a few months of getting along, she was also happy that this young and famous son lived up to his reputation, and sincerely hoped that he could get better and accompany Li Yan for the rest of his life.
"I'll take a look. Li Yan sighed, Qing Shi's body was seriously injured in the Jiuli War, and she didn't take it to heart before, after all, he has always had good opportunities, but it has been getting worse in the past few months, and she finally began to worry.
A small courtyard in the side hall of Zhaoyang Palace, green pines and green bamboos, not even a trace of medicinal smell. Li Yan pushed open the door and didn't allow anyone to come in, Qing Shi was still doing foreshadowing in front of the case, and when she saw her coming, she smiled and said: "Why did I call you, you have had a bad head attack in recent days, and it is still not suitable to see the wind, so rest early." ”
"Qing Shi, what about the light dance?" Li Yan asked, standing in front of the case.
"She has her mission, and I have my destiny. Qing Shi put down the pen in his hand, got up and took a big coat for Li Yan to put on, "My limit has arrived, you don't have to be sad." He just hopes that he can still be by her side in the last journey, and if he doesn't have a chance in the future, how can he be embarrassed.
"You can go on living, Qingwu won't sit idly by. She could see that the fairy named Qingwu was very fond of Qingqing, how could she sit idly by. In any case, Qing Shi is also one of her only remaining friends in this world, and she doesn't want anything to happen to him.
"Silly girl, she can't wait for me to return as soon as possible, how can she take care of me?" Qingshi smiled and sat aside, "You have to be good, although I don't know what the chance is, I always feel that we will meet in the future." Seeing that she was still depressed, don't overdo it, "I just hope that in the future, you don't forget me, go back to rest, don't worry about me, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to return." ”
"You're all gone, leave me alone, or not. "The world is so great that it will be a few. The high place is not cold, and the world is not worth it. "Now that I know that you have a place to go, I am relieved. ”
Li Yan left, and Qing Shicai lowered his eyebrows, very gloomy.
It was cold in winter, and his heart was even colder. He got up and closed the door, slowly lay back on the soft couch, and slowly closed his eyes.
Flashing in the light, he remembered the time when he saw her in the Qiwu forest, and also remembered the South Coast, where she returned with others, and he stood not far away and watched quietly. At the junction of life and death, Qing Shi suddenly remembered that in Yujing Mountain that year, the little goddess who was not afraid of heaven and did not know the world, was so green and plain, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her fragrance was scorching. It's just that many years later, he has also seen the vicissitudes of the Eastern Wilderness Yuanjun, and his eyes are full of desolation.
The spring waves under the sad bridge are green, and they were once shocked. She was obsessed with the person in Ziweiyuan, how could she see that he was also behind her. He picked up the pen to engrave the prosperity of the world, but the pen was sharp, and he couldn't carve the self he wanted. Chang Xi, you never look back, so you never see me.
In the fourth winter of Chang'an, the son of the king passed away.
When Qing Shi left, Li Yan was standing at the door of the hall, and she didn't push the door in, because she knew that Qing Shi didn't want her to see it, so she wouldn't go in. The winter snow blocked the way to Zhaoyang Palace, she let the world be big, and she was covered with snow, until Zhuohua came from the wind and snow with an umbrella.
"Zhuohua, the snow in Weiyang Palace this year is so heavy and cold. Li Yan stepped into the snow, one step at a time. Xiao Zhuohua held an umbrella and walked side by side with her, comforting in a soft voice, "Ah Yan, Zhuohua will always be with you." ”
"Zhuohua, I never asked you, why are you so persistent?" Why are you so persistent, she has been with her all her life, and she never regrets it.
Xiao Zhuohua seemed to remember something, his eyes were red, and he was speechless. "Ah Yan, the person Zhuohua has been looking forward to all his life has passed away, he is young, he doesn't want to pay a stranger, you are the most important person Zhuohua wants to protect. Weiyang Palace is cold, and I will accompany you every day in the future. ”
Li Yan looked at the sky speechlessly, she and Zhuohua hadn't seen each other for three years, and those three years were her current pain, and they were also Zhuohua's pain. "Chengqing's situation will not be negative. ”
The snow was as big as goose feathers, and the two women walked hand in hand on the palace road, and the snow fell. Now I was wrong, my heart was sad, the snow fell into tears, and my eyes were full of the west wind.
