Mingguo, the imperial capital.

The deserted Rui Wang's Mansion has a carriage parked at the door on this day. When the people passed by, some stopped to look around, curious to see the excitement, but they didn't think that they couldn't wait for anyone for a long time.

When the sun was setting, I finally saw someone coming out of the palace. The walk was in a hurry, his eyes were red, but his little face was full of excited smiles.

I saw the girl quickly enter the sedan chair, and then the carriage drove out of the city. Some of the curious onlookers knew that girl, who was said to be the personal maid of the third princess, and it seemed that she was called Hongluan.

Where is she going, and who is picking her up? No one knows.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but start to speculate curiously that the three princesses had been missing for a long time, and the three princesses had also gone out to fight and had not returned. Miss Feng was driven home, and the daughter of the Fang family moved to another courtyard to eat fast and pray for Buddha. This big palace has long been an empty shell, why is it that the personal maid of the third princess will be picked up at this time?

Doubts are doubts, and seeing that no one came out to answer for them, the curious people had to disperse happily and go back to their respective homes.

On the other side, at the door of the Imperial City's Xianqing Palace, there was also a sedan chair. Mingjun Shen Duyi walked out of the house with Xia Hou in his arms and sent her into the sedan chair. It seems that some feelings are indescribable, and he looks at her fixedly. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

When he stepped back and was about to lower the sedan curtain, Xia Hou grabbed him. Shen Duyi raised his head, and at that moment, he could clearly see the attachment and reluctance in Xia Yin's eyes. At that moment, he was ecstatic, he finally believed that the woman in front of him who he had always loved was not necessarily without feelings for him.

But......

Only now do I understand that my heart is even more uncomfortable. Because she is leaving, maybe she will never see each other again in this life.

"Your Majesty, remember to promise Tianyin, don't think that Tianyin is not by your side, so you don't know anything. Take good care of yourself, don't be too late to review the recitals, and believe in Ah Li's ability, he has always been a capable child, and he will definitely not let us down. ”

Shen Duyi took her hand, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he couldn't help but murmur at this moment: "Do you have to go?" or...... Shall I accompany you back to the Night Country for a temporary stay?"

Xia Yin curled the corners of her mouth, although Shaohua was old, her beautiful face in the past was still there.

"What did Your Majesty say about this? The country cannot be without a king for a day, how can you go with me? Don't worry, although Tianyin's legs are disabled, he will take good care of himself along the way. Wait for me...... Heh~ After a while, my mood has calmed down, everything has settled, and I will naturally come back to accompany Your Majesty. ”

Xia Yin was docile and kind all her life, even if she was forcibly married back by Shen Duyi, she never told him a lie. I'm not good at that, so if I really want to talk about it, it's really false.

Shen Duyi could see through it at a glance, but he didn't say anything. He's old, and he's no longer as brutal as he was when he was younger. What's more, Tianyin has been by his side for many years, and in her best time, she buried her love deep in her heart and broke her legs, just to keep her side in peace.

What he knew, he actually knew all along, that's why he let Fu Qingheng go in the first place. As the king of a country, he couldn't understand the truth of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but because he didn't want Tianyin to hate him, he agreed to her plea. For this, he exchanged Tianyin's gratitude, no matter whether she loves herself or not, at least she is willing to smile at him, and even cares about herself. So to this day, even if Fu Qingheng took refuge in the Snow Country and led the army to overwhelm the border, he still never regretted it.

Come to think of it, the high priest said it back then, and it was really powerful. But even if he knew the current situation, he still wouldn't give up Tianyin back then. I think that when he went to find the dragon vein of Xuanwu Mountain alone, the nine-tailed fox in the small dense forest calculated a hexagram for him. said that he was angry and talented, but he couldn't make a big deal after all. He was in his prime at that time, and his blood was strong, and he hadn't met Xue Fei and Xia Yin yet. Then he asked it, how can it not achieve great things?

The nine-tailed fox drew a frame on the ground with its paws, and then wrote the word "human" in it. Tell him that in his life, he has two women, and he is also these two women. He is talented, but he is too emotional. These two women will tie up his life, and in his mind, maybe the country and the beauty, he will choose the latter after all.

Shen Duyi laughed a lot, listening to it as a joke at that time, and boldly making fun of the nine-tailed fox, saying that it was inaccurate. It wasn't until he met Yingxue and Tianyin one after another that he understood. Later, the high priest also persuaded him, but he was too deep to extricate himself.

At this moment, the wheel of life rotated in a circle, as if it had returned to its original trajectory. He looked at the beautiful person sitting in the sedan chair, and suddenly remembered the day when he married her with great fanfare. Time passes, and what you want can't come after all, it's not yours, and you still have to leave after all.

"Take care of yourself and say hello to the Night Lord for me. If...... I thought and missed Ah Li, so I came back to see him. On the day of his triumphant return, I will pass the throne to him, and I will come with you at once. Wherever you want to live, I will depend on you. ”

Shen Duyi smiled as he spoke, such a graceful king, with a completely lonely expression at the moment.

"I'm sorry that I refused to listen to your pleas and forcibly married you back. Now that all these years have passed, I still want to hold on to you when I am old. You must think I'm annoying, don't you? Such a big man, and the king of a country, is more inkblot than a woman at this time. ”

"Your Majesty......"

Summer Yin frowned and worried, full of reluctance. Shen Duyi shook his head and said, "You listen to me." Tianyin, I have bound you for a lifetime because I have the confidence to give you a good life and make you happy. But at the end of the day, I can't even protect our children, so I'm no longer qualified to say anything to you. Now I won't stop you wherever you want to go, you just have to promise me that you must take good care of yourself, you can't do some extreme things, and you can't leave this world earlier than me. Okay, okay?"

As soon as Xia Yin lied, she was easily betrayed by her eyes, so she closed her eyes and nodded vigorously, and the tears could not stop sliding down her cheeks.

Shen Duyi finally wiped her tears, then put down the sedan curtain and watched the sedan chair being carried away. His footsteps unconsciously followed, but stopped again.

In the torment of inner contradictions, in the end, he couldn't help it, stepped on the steps, ran up the city tower, and just stood on a high place and watched the sedan chair get farther and farther away from him.

At that moment, my heart felt like it had been hollowed out, and it hurt terribly. Finally, his vision was blurry and he couldn't see clearly, and he turned around and lowered his head silently. It's been through vicissitudes, but it's still so uneasy. But who can easily give up the word love?
