Chapter 16: Parting

The cold is more cut, the snow is like dust, the frost is fluttering, and there are thousands of sorrows.

Chinese New Year's Eve is only six days away, but this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, I still have to spend it alone.

The soldiers are ready to fight for the world, and Liuyun is about to go out with him today.

I got up on the fifth watch day and made a farewell breakfast for Liuyun, and after we parted today, I don't know when we will meet again. All I can do for him is pray for God's patience not to be too cruel to us and not to let us be separated for too long. And Liuyun will complete the will to unify the world as soon as possible.

When he appeared in front of me in a golden dragon iron armor robe, my tears finally couldn't help but overflow. said not to cry, but at this time, he couldn't control it.

He just hugged me softly, but he couldn't speak. At the moment, no words can express our inner emotions. We've been separated countless times, and I've never been so reluctant as this one. In the past, I would leave because I was cold, but now, I want to snuggle up to each other so much, but I have to leave.

The world is impermanent, and things backfire, this sentence is very good. What can be certain and certain about the things of the world?

Stopping crying, I looked up at him, "Liuyun, let's have a good meal, I made it for you with my own hands." ”

He closed his eyes and bowed his head, and then we sat opposite each other.

The meal was very unpleasant, but Liuyun was very happy, as if the food was very much to his taste. Actually, I knew he was deliberately making such a look, just to put my mind at ease.

Maybe the atmosphere is too depressing, and the happiness that Liuyun originally pretended to be is slowly dissipating, his eyes are relatively speechless, but the reluctance in his eyes is so profound.

He took out the jade pendant, "I promise you, I will personally return it to you, I promise." He assured me that he was so honest. I nodded with tears in my eyes, even though my heart was painful, "I know, and I'm sure you won't lose your trust in me, Liuyun, those things that used to be are in the past from today, and we have to start over, so you must come back quickly." ”

He stared at me quietly, "I will." ”

I got up and stood up, "It's not too early, the soldiers should be waiting for almost, let's go!" As I said this, I could clearly hear my own voice trembling and weak.

He slowly stood up, walked up to me, and encircled me again, this time, he held me tightly for a long, long time. It's never been this long.

Because of the suspicion of others, I can't send him away, so I can only quietly bid him farewell in this Changle Palace.

"Wait until I'll get back!" In the last four words, he said extremely seriously, and I nodded firmly. The moment he turned around, the unstoppable tears poured out of my eyes like a flood, and I clasped my mouth tightly, trying not to make any sound.

He stood with his back to me for a while, and I saw his hands clench into fists. Eventually, the brisk walk disappeared under my eyes.

"Liuyun!" I shouted, then sat down on the ground hysterically masked and wept, my mind resting on the moment his back vanished.

With a promise to his father, the queen and the concubine, with his own attitude towards the world, and with my thoughts about him, he set out on the expedition. On the battlefield, nothing has become an affirmation, although I have always told him to rest assured, in fact, I have never let go of my heart.

There are people I care about in both the country and the country of Min.

Eventually, however, they will become enemies.

This journey confirms that I am about to lose someone.

I'm selfish because I've been praying that Liuyun will return safely and fulfill his wish to unify the world. Then, it is tantamount to cursing Zhuangzi to become a prisoner or to be destroyed in this war.

It was a very painful feeling, accompanied by my concern for Liuyun.

I came back to my senses when Pingle helped me up, and I smiled miserably at her unbearable face, "He's gone." ”

"The emperor will come back soon, he wants to give Niangniang a lifetime of happiness, so Niangniang should be happy." She comforted me softly, paused, and said, "Niangniang, the slave maid once heard Sister Xiyun talk about your relationship with the emperor, but the slave maid still doesn't believe it. Because, the slave maid thinks, how can a king be so infatuated with a woman. However, when the slave maid entered the palace, she slowly discovered that the emperor was the same to you and you to the emperor. You cannot be separated, you are destined to be together. ”

I lowered my eyebrows, calming the sadness in my heart, we were only separated for a while, and what awaited us was the company of the following decades. I believe that we will come to the bitter end.

Wiping away my tears, I smiled, "Pingle, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

She kept nodding to me, "If Niangniang says this, the slave and maid will rest assured, presumably the emperor will also rest assured to finish this battle and come back to stay with Niangniang." ”

Standing up, I walked to the front of the temple gate, looking up at the sky, "The appearance is very simple, but it is a difficult road. ”

The moment she retracted her gaze, she saw Han Xiaoyang standing in the front yard, her eyes were translucent, but there were faint tears.

Turning around, she was about to leave, and I hurriedly shouted, "Queen Mother." Her steps paused, turned to look at me, and smiled slightly in her bitterness, "The emperor personally recruited today and ordered the harem not to go to the front palace, I just came over to see if the emperor is here with you." For the first time, she no longer called herself Hongu to me, but used a kind "I" word.

Maybe she really let go of her hatred for me and let go of everything she once had. still remembers when she first entered the palace, her tall appearance, and the identity of the eldest lady of the Han family, made her pampered since she was a child. Even if she entered the palace draft, she never reported any hope. After the princess was established, he also left the palace calmly. Until, in order to win over Lord Han for Liuyun, the emperor decreed that she be married as the princess of Dingyang.

After that, there was only Liuyun beside her, and there was only Liuyun in her eyes. In the years I left, Liuyun's kindness to her was just to consolidate the Han family. So she looks radiant from the outside, and her status is unmatched. But I know very well that my heart is gloomy and lonely.

There is no woman who doesn't want the man she loves to be the only one in his heart, so she doesn't like me. After Yulan killed her and Liuyun's child, those who didn't like me eventually turned to hatred.

Now, in her eyes, I don't see a trace of hatred, only grief and regret.

I took a few steps closer to her, "Queen Mother, the emperor is gone." ”

She let out a disappointed "oh", and then smiled, in my opinion, it was very reluctant, "The emperor's expedition this time must be a few months, I just want to say to him to take care." If he is gone, then I will take the liberty of disturbing him. After speaking, he turned around again.

I stepped forward a few steps forward and grabbed her arm, "Niangniang, don't be in a hurry to leave, since you are here, why don't you go into the concubine's palace and sit for a while." ”

She glanced back at me and moved her gaze into the distance, "Zhen Luo, I have already admitted defeat." ”

I shook my head and smiled bitterly, "Feelings are such a thing, there is no winning or losing." She smiled again, "How can there be no wins and losses, and it is you who will be by his side in the end!" ”

"But you are the queen, and you will always be the wife he is marrying." I said again.

She smiled dumbly, with a sense of desolation, "Ming Media is marrying, if he is sincere to me, I might as well be a concubine and a woman like you." At this moment, I didn't know how to comfort her, just looked at her, and she exhaled slightly, "When the emperor comes back, he will definitely take you away." At that time, I was just a lonely woman in the cold palace, slowly growing old. ”

I don't know where she heard this news, even if Liuyun said that after the reunification of the world, she would give way to Rong Jingxuan and take me away, she would not be able to tell others about it! So, why did Han Xiaoyang say this to me! Could it be that she has already noticed it? Or me, thinking too much.

After hesitating for a moment, I shook my head resolutely, "He is the emperor, how can he take me away!" He carries a country on his shoulders, and perhaps, the whole world. Just ask, who would give up such glory and take a stand-in woman away! ”

Frowning slightly, her smile slowly retracted, with a hint of contempt, "I just called you Zhen Luo, and you didn't object." Zhen Luo, in fact, I never believed that there would be two people in the world who looked so similar. I wouldn't believe that the emperor would be so infatuated with a woman who is just like Zhen Luo. ”

I didn't understand the meaning of her words, and asked, "Why do you think that?" ”

"The emperor should have been with you in the days when he left the palace! Although, no one is allowed to enter your Changle Palace, and no one will know that you are not in the palace. However, the emperor's ability, what is the difficulty of taking you out of the palace? ”

I was slightly stunned and didn't speak, because talking too much would make her suspicious. It doesn't matter if I'm Zhen Luo or not, the important thing is that Liuyun has me in his heart. I don't know how many times I've thought about this sentence, and it is also this sentence that gives me the courage to face everything.

She stared at me blankly for a long time, and then she turned around and left.

Liuyun said that he wanted to give me a new future, and arranged for me to enter the palace as Lin Yan. And Zhen Luo, the unpopular character in the palace, has long been completely disappeared by him. It's hard for me to imagine what would happen if everyone in the palace knew that I was Zhen Luo and Concubine Chen.

Will it take revenge on me, even though Liuyun has changed a lot of palace people, but I am in the light, and the enemy is in the dark, so I must be guarded against.

The person who poisoned me with soul entanglement incense, Liuyun has been checking again, in fact, after I recovered my memory, it was very clear that no matter how Liuyun checked, he couldn't find out. And that person, I know who it is, it's just that he is not in the palace, but he just instructed Cui'er to use some means.

I don't want to pursue these anymore, I just hope that Liuyun will return as soon as possible.

In the future, we don't have to suffer from lovesickness.

I have been by Liuyun's side for ten years, and I am so tired that I can't withstand the twists and turns again, and I don't have the energy to uncover the damage to me again.

As long as Liuyun comes back safely, it's fine!
