Chapter 17: Return to the Palace

readx;?β€œ How could you ask that. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou're the nicest person this king has ever met. ”

Chishita's tone was gentle and firm, and the madness could even think of the doting smile he wore when he spoke, and his breath sank, and he said quietly: "But the world can't see it." ”

"How can you care about this. ”

Hurt and trembled, yes, since when did he start to care about the opinions of others? Hasn't he lived in the contempt of others since he was a child? In the Ji Kang Palace, he was the eleventh prince but had an empty name, and he lived only one more attendant than the people below.

Since I was a child, my ears have been filled with explicit and implicit sarcasm and ridicule, haven't you been used to it for a long time? Haven't you long since you stopped caring? Is it because you have been pampered too much to hear such words?

No, at that time, I didn't have any worries, but now, I have people in my heart who must be protected! How can they be implicated and slandered because of themselves.

"Did you hear something?"

The question of a thousand times reminded the madman of what he had heard on the street, and remembered the strange eyes on the street after the shopkeeper called his name, and his heart, which had just been calm, was turbulent again, "No ......"

As soon as the words came out, the choked sound followed, and the madness immediately did not make another sound.

There was silence.

"Did you hear that rumor anyway?"

The madman's eyes widened, "How, how...... You know?"

"Sure enough. Qianxia let out a wry smile, with a slightly bitter tone, as if talking to himself, "I should have known that I wouldn't have avoided it so unfortunately, but I was still listened to by you." ”

"Don't you mind if they say that about you?" asked the madman worriedly.

Qianxia chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Mind, mind what can you change? That's enough. ”

A beam of light suddenly shone into the haze that had been hanging in the deepest part of the madman's heart, making him seem to see something clearly.

"yes, I know, I know...... You've always ......," the frenzy lowered his eyelids, "though you are pleased with me in your heart, you have never crossed the thunder pool. I understand ......."

The shadow of a thousand times flickered slightly, as if he had been told something in his heart, and he sighed deeply, "Why bother to say it." You and I understand each other, and that's enough. ”

"A Thousand ......"

Hurt madness is anxious to say something, but when the words come to his mouth, he doesn't know what to say to comfort Chishita's heart. I obviously knew his mind all the time, and I favored him in every way, but I couldn't accept him like this. Perhaps, perhaps no emperor himself can love him wholeheartedly, but ...... Where is the possibility?

"No need to explain. "Qianxia interrupted him at the right time," the king understood. You have this king in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have asked this king if he minded the rumors...... It's just that this king also knows that you are more worried about the reputation of the emperor. ”

Hearing Qianxia mention the emperor, the madness could only be silent - he did read the emperor more deeply.

"You are different from the king and the emperor, and the king can feel it. The faint tone was followed by a gentle laugh, "But even so, this king is already very content." ”

"A thousand times, I ......" the madness stretched out his hand, as if to brush the shadow, but the hand only touched the cold air. He and Chishita are still so far away.

"Cloud madness. ”

Senxia interrupted him by calling out his name quickly.

The madness was silent.

"Do not speak against your will to this king. Your mind is understood by the king, so do not explain it. "Although you didn't tell this king what happened between you and the emperor, this king knows that no matter what you do, it is never your intention, and your heart has never betrayed the emperor. The king understands, and the emperor will understand. ”

Really......

The madman lowered his eyes, thinking about the rainy night, and he just laughed silently and shook his head unconfidently.

"This king has killed many people, but only you know that this king doesn't really want to do those things...... You comfort the king, so that the king does not have to pay attention to the past, as long as he tries his best to do a good job in the future, and does not let himself regret such things in the future.

It was you who taught the king to try to control his power, and you told him that if he was willing to try, he could do many things. Ben Wang has learned, and it's time for you to try. ”

Qianxia was silent, for a long time, and the frenzy took a breath, "It's not the same ......"

"It's different. It seems that he has been waiting for the madman's response, and as soon as the madman's words came out, he immediately answered, "The past is gone, and now the emperor's reputation is damaged, he loves you in his heart, although you made a mistake, he didn't leave you in the palace to imprison you, but let you go, naturally you don't take the initiative to go back, and he doesn't dare to come to look for you." Only you can save your relationship......"

The madness didn't know what kind of mood Chishita was in when he said this, he just thought that if he had persuaded the emperor to get along with others--such bitterness, such pain--obviously unwilling, but still saying such things.

"A thousand times. The madness interrupted him.

"Hmm. ”

The madman's eyes wandered for a moment, and he paused, "Thank you......"

There was another silence, and the madness leaned on the side of the bed and thought for a long time, and suddenly, he got up and knelt on the ground, regardless of whether he could see it or not, he buckled his head three times in a row, fell to the ground, and said: "Qianxia, I am sorry for you in this life, if there is an afterlife, I will repay you." ”

"Cloud Maniac!"

There was something in the thousand obedient words that felt bad, and I couldn't think about it for fear of injury, so I immediately rushed in, but there was still a shadow of madness in the empty room.

The heart that was hanging for a thousand moments immediately let go, it turned out that he was not committing suicide, he was just going back to where he should go. As soon as he thought of this, Qianxia's heart felt empty again, obviously he persuaded him to go, but when he really left, even his breathing hurt.

The wounded maniac who galloped all the way could no longer care about the tears in his eyes, but the light skills he learned from Qianxia turned out to be used to find the emperor.

If he didn't take this step, he would undoubtedly just trap all three of them in cages and torture each other.

He was too anxious to escape.

He thought that no matter what happened after returning to the palace, he would never leave the emperor again. Even if the emperor blamed him, he would only use time to tell the emperor that he had never betrayed him in his heart. The past has passed, and I only have him in my heart, and I am his concubine, so why not go back?

A thousand times understand, how could the emperor not know his mind?

His heart and mind are all emperors, and his madness has not stopped for a moment, his skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and even a thousand times have been smacked for his talent, and it is no longer difficult for him to leap over the walls of the Northern Forbidden City, and he will tap his toes without thinking about it, and jump over the wall in the air and go straight to the direction of the imperial study.

He was too familiar with everything in this palace, and he himself was heartbroken by such familiarity. was obviously reluctant, but he didn't dare to come back. What are you afraid of?

That thing......

The speed of the madness slowed down gradually, and finally stopped at the tree, and stood still, looking at the ridge of the imperial study in the distance. How to explain it?

After he has been away for so long, how does the emperor tell people about him? Will he refute the emperor's prestige if he appears rashly? Does he want to see him, will he listen to his own explanation...... Even if he wanted to hear it, how could he explain it? So it was obviously for the emperor and Qianxia, but no matter what the reason, that kind of action was too ......

No, it's all here, what's the point of being cowardly......

The madman's feet are faster than his heart, and his body has already stood on the road to the imperial study before he has decided in his heart, and he is afraid that he will think too much and end up with nothing.

Approach, approach.

It's still so cold, and no one has ever seen it outside the majestic palace.

The heart of the madness was pounding, it had been a long time since he had seen the emperor, was he still sitting alone in the room and commenting on the music? Did he always say lightly to the yuan, "Your skill in making tea needs to grow"? Is he still tired and snuggled up on the backrest and took a nap?

The emperor's eyebrows gradually became clear in the mad mind. He looked up at the sun, and at this time the emperor had already fallen.

Determined, he stopped in front of the door of the imperial study. Having mustered up enough courage, he raised his hand to push the door in, but at this moment his heart trembledβ€”the door was locked!

He had thought of thousands of scenes of reunion with the emperor in his mind, but he never calculated that the place he was familiar with had been locked, and it was no longer what he knew.

So does the emperor's heart also turn him away like this imperial study?

The courage that the frenzy had mustered quickly dissipated, and he suddenly lost his strength.

"Sure enough, shouldn't you come......" laughed madly and self-deprecatingly. This is the place where he and the emperor have the most memories, day and night, he doesn't want to see himself, and he doesn't even want to see this house anymore......

He was disgusted that he had come to this point.

The madman's feet were as heavy as lead and he walked along the way he came, his body staggered, and he suddenly stopped, looking up at the endless palaces and pavilions, and was at a loss, where was the place where he was mad.

The pain in his heart forced him to find a corner and curl up, and he thought that it would not be in vain for him to die by relying on the imperial study. Life is a person in the Northern Forbidden City, and death is a ghost in the Northern Forbidden City......

"Huh. The madness smiled sadly, and he suddenly remembered the days when he was a child in the cold palace. Wasn't Concubine Li like this at that time?

Time flies, the moon has climbed the treetops, and the madness is still leaning against the corner of the imperial study and doing nothing. The cold wind swept through his body, and he no longer bothered to protect his body with his true qi, and let the cold wind sweep through his thin body, and the cold qi was like maggots attached to his bones, about to eat him.

Hungry and cold, his consciousness was blurred. For a while, he was in the cold palace, and for a while he went to the mountains to hide from wild beasts and look for food, and for a while, he received a holy decree to let him go to northern Xinjiang, as if he had been busy and miserable.

He bitterly recalled his broken and withered life, and in a trance he seemed to see a pair of familiar eyes, and heard the call that penetrated into his heart, but he was too tired to open his eyes again, maybe he was going to die, and he really didn't want to suffer these things anymore, mother, you take me away......
