Chapter 526: Lake Legends
Everyone began to look forward to what the emperor was about to announce.
"This person is my long-lost imperial brother, and he has only recently returned to the palace." He said with a smile on his face.
The ministers began to discuss, "What, the emperor still has a royal brother? Why haven't I heard of it before, why is it only announced now, is there any reason?" The man with the broken mouth whispered.
"It's a royal affair, and you can hear about it casually."
"That is, is the holy will something you can guess at will?"
"What? Is it Nanxun? Is it really Nanxun back?" I saw a kind but slightly graceful old lady and an amiable old man sitting next to her, the former emperor of the southern country, at the same time, squinting together, looking at Nanxun, with a look of surprise and very excited.
"Yes, the Empress Dowager. I'm back." He said and bowed respectfully.
"It's good to be back, I've suffered a lot from wandering around the world all these years, right?" The old man asked distressedly.
"It's okay, it's okay, thanks to your second elder, you haven't suffered much outside these years, and besides, shouldn't young people go out to experience more experiences." replied with a smile.
Over the years, it has not been more about suffering for him, but on the way to find Meiqing's resurrection, his heart seems to be alive. No, do nothing, constantly torture yourself.
Chu Xia and Jing Yuan also just learned the news of his return, both of them were a little surprised, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they didn't know what the reason for coming back this time was. Thinking of this, I wanted to go forward to greet him, but seeing that he hadn't finished talking to the emperor one after another, it was not easy to step forward to interrupt, so the two chatted for a while.
Chu Xia is still dressed simply today, there is no extra gold and silver jewelry on his head, he is wearing a lilac satin floral gown, and his makeup is not very bright, in short, everything is just right. Sitting in the seat, the smile is still dazzling.
「」
So, in concise language, he simply told the emperor about his recent situation, and asked him about the physical condition of the two in recent years, and intimately told them to take good care of themselves, and that a healthy body is the greatest capital.
Turning around, he saw Chu Xia and Jing Yuan talking and laughing intently. So, go forward. "How's it going, how are you doing? Behold, your husband and wife are still in harmony, even more than ever." He raised his eyebrows playfully and said.
In the eyes of outsiders, Nan Xun is an indifferent person, but only those who really know him will know that in fact, the real him is more affectionate than anyone else, but his cold appearance makes people feel inexplicably cowardly towards him.
"Why, it's not proper to go out and travel for a few years and come back to learn." Jing Yuan answered unforgivingly.
"Really, just now the two of us said that when you come back this time, you feel more calm and stable than before, this guy, it really exposes your true nature in two sentences." Chu Xia said with a disgusted expression.
"Hahaha......" I only heard a crisp and hearty laugh echoing in the sky.
"Come, don't stand and talk, come and sit together", Jing Yuan moved to Chu Xia's side as he spoke, making room for Nan Xun.
The ministers next to them were all envious of them for having such a good relationship.
"Oh, yes. Actually, I have something important to tell you when I come back this time, I have found Meiqing's two souls and five spirits, I think there will be a way to regenerate Meiqing soon, and soon he will come back to me, I am really excited, after so long, I finally see hope", I saw him say happily, and a flash of hope quickly flashed in his eyes.
「……」
Seeing that he was so eager to reinvigorate Mei Qing, Chu Xia wondered whether to pour cold water on him at this time and tell him the truth. So, he turned to Jing Yuan for help, and the two made eye contact in a short period of time. Jing Yuan's meaning was to let him know the truth as soon as possible, and ........ Chu Xia struggled in his heart as soon as possible, worried that if he said this, it would make him desperate and collapse, and it would hurt him, but this was the truth after all, and he would know it sooner or later.
"What's wrong with you, are you listening to me?"
With a serious face and a wordless appearance, Nan Xun was a little anxious, not knowing what he was thinking, wanting to be so engrossed.
"Actually, there's something I think you have the right to know."
"What's that?"
Nan Xun was a little disappointed but didn't care at all, he thought that having it would be rewarded.
"Some time ago, I learned that even if Meiqing is resurrected one day, he is just a living dead, and he is no longer the person who can jump around and be full of vitality before."
"..."He was speechless, his face slightly pale. Since Mei Qing left, he had been holding on to hope for so many years to resurrect him, but suddenly such a thunderbolt news made his heart chuckle. Then he spoke again...
"It's okay, I just want him to come back to life, as long as he can come back to life."
"In other words, even so, do you continue to try to resurrect him?"
"Why not?" asked with an affectionate face.
"But does it make sense for you to do that?" Chu Xia didn't want to see him spend his whole life on fruitless things, so he asked.
"A lot of things are not done because they know in advance whether they are meaningful or not, and they do it to know whether it is meaningful or not."
"..."It seems that this is the truth, Chu Xia saw that he was so determined, so he didn't say anything anymore.
I saw that Nan Xun said this, which attracted the attention of many people next to him. Everyone should wonder if the person standing here and talking at this moment is Nanxun, and wonder if there is something wrong with his ears and auditory hallucinations.
Because in their eyes, some people think that Nanxun is a powerful character and is ruthless in handling things, although he has never seen it, but it has long been rumored in the legends of the rivers and lakes.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Chu Xia's surprised look, he couldn't help asking.
"No, it's just that I suddenly heard you say this, and I have a feeling that I can't speak," Chu Xia said as he said how to clearly express to him how he really felt in his heart after hearing his words.
"What does it feel like?" I saw Nan Xun ask curiously.
"I've never seen you so affectionate to someone, I'm really surprised."
「…」
"Isn't that unusual?"
"It's strange, but from a friend's point of view, I can understand your feelings." Chu Xia said approvingly.
Jing Yuan nodded after hearing this, expressing his agreement with Chu Xia's idea.
Everyone has an affectionate side, just to say whether they have met the right person, only when they meet someone they really like, they will show their deep affection unabashedly.
Even though Mei Qing is long gone, he still has a deep affection for him, relying on his vow of unswerving love for him to the death and the bits and pieces of memories with Mei Qing, so that he has been persevering so much. Although he encountered too many difficulties and obstacles along the way, there was never a moment when he wanted to give up.
"I just don't want Mei Qing to feel that he obviously has hope of resurrection, but in this world where people come and go, because no one wants to spend time and energy for him, no one wants to believe that he still has the possibility of resurrection. I think in that case, Mei Qing will feel that her life is very pitiful. I want to do my best to make enough efforts for that little hope."
People who seem to be indifferent to anything are often the most affectionate.
"Don't worry, we've got your back! We also believe that one day, he will feel how much you miss him, and then, as we all wish, will return to us safe and sound."
「…」
"Oh, by the way, do you have any news of the artifact over there? There's no progress on our side, which is really sad." Chu Xia asked Nanxun. Thinking that he was out all the time, he would definitely hear more news.
"Actually, during the time I was away, I was also asking around for news of this last artifact, but it wasn't ideal. It's as if someone has deliberately blocked the news, and no one knows its whereabouts, and they have only heard about it."
"What can I do?
Isn't there a breakthrough?"
「…」
Nan Xun patted his head and seemed to think of something: "In our southern country, there is a mysterious old man. It is said that he knows everything, knows everything, but it should not be easy to see him, but you can look for it. Try it."
That's all it takes, and after these two days, let's go find it!
"Come, let me see my sweet little nephew." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and slowly took the little prince from Nangong's hand.
"He looks really beautiful, and there are emperor's instruments between his eyebrows, so he is a good seedling." Stretched out his hand to touch the forehead of the little prince and said kindly. After listening to this praise, the emperor is also a dragon-faced delight.
The child didn't recognize his life, and saw that Nanxun had been teasing him. Even, he laughed out loud, and Nanxun's heart instantly seemed to be melted.
Holding the child in one hand and freeing the other hand, he took out a piece of white jade hollow carved python pattern from his arms, which was rewarded to him by the emperor for his perennial military and meritorious achievements.
"Come," he said, and tied the jade pendant to the little prince's hand.
"Brother Huang, this is not possible, the things you gave are too valuable, you have received your heart, you can take back the gift!"
"What was given out, how can there be a reason to take it back, isn't it that the emperor's brother thinks this gift is light?" Nan Xun said deliberately.
"Why, Brother Huang, you know I didn't mean that."
"It's good if it doesn't mean that, besides, I'm not for you, I'm for my own nephew, what is precious or not, as long as I have something, as long as he wants, I can give it to him."
"Then I'll thank him for him first, Uncle Huang" There was no way, seeing that the imperial brother was so persistent, he could only accept it silently.
