Chapter 53 Wait for me
Chapter 53 Wait for me
Chi Jinnian looked at the palace in front of him, and there was tall grass growing in front of the gate, which was left unattended.
This empress, this empress who is proud and never wants to bow her head.
This mad lady who pushed her own son to the guillotine was so insane.
Luo Xiang said that she didn't have much time, so he hardened his heart and took a look.
It's easy to talk about it, and it's also a mother-son relationship.
When Chi Jinnian raised his foot to step across the threshold, a palace lady with an unfamiliar face was startled.
The maid's complexion was gloomy, but her eyes lit up when she saw the dragon robe on his body.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
She was so frightened that she forgot the rules, and she couldn't even salute in front of the emperor, so she even crawled to the empress's side, grabbed her arm,
"The emperor is here, the emperor is here...!"
Chi Jinnian's eyes sank and fell on the face of the empress.
She used to not want any dirt to stick to her cheeks, but now she has messy hair and dull eyes.
"emperor."
The empress read aloud, but did not slow down.
"It's the emperor, empress, it's the emperor!"
The palace maid held her hand, her mind was not quite clear,
"Your Majesty, hurry up, we are saved, we can go out from here—"
The empress's pupils trembled, but Chi Jinnian's breathing froze for the next movement.
She pulled out the hairpin on her head, and rushed over like a hungry tiger, yelling,
"Give me back my years, Your Majesty!!!"
Chi Jinnian's pupils dilated a little, and he turned to the side, easily dodging her attack.
The empress didn't stand still, and with a thud, she fell to the ground behind him.
"Nian'er...Nian'er..."
She propped her hands on the floor, her head was lowered, and her crying echoed heart-piercingly in the hall.
The eardrums are irritated and the tip of the nose is sore.
Chi Jinnian closed his eyes and stood there like a log. After a while, he turned around and looked at the embarrassed woman on the ground with her hair scattered all over the floor.
He squatted down, grabbed her thin arm with one hand, and lifted her up.
"Mother concubine."
"I'm Nian'er."
He said.
The woman turned her head blankly, meeting his gaze.
She just looked at it like this for a while, pointing with a trembling hand to the dragon embroidered on his chest,
"you are not…"
As she spoke, she moved her hand away again, gesticulating a height in the air,
"My age is only this high."
A smile appeared on her face, "My age, I can live up to my expectations."
"You know, I'm satisfied just looking at him...watching him come back from school and recite to me, I'm satisfied..."
Chi Jinnian's fingers gripping her arm suddenly tightened, and the sockets of his eyes suddenly became hot, burning a tinge of red.
The woman ignored him and said to herself,
"At my age, I'm only this tall, but I can ride a horse."
"He rides, and rides so well..."
"But when he came back from martial arts practice, those hands," she laughed more ferociously than crying, as if the child was standing in front of her, spreading his palms for her to see,
"Always bruised and bleeding."
"My heart hurts, my heart hurts so much..."
"I don't want him to practice martial arts anymore, but he said with a smile," the woman lost all smiles, and her words turned into crying again, "His father praised him again today."
"Father, father, his father..."
"There is no such thing as his son in his eyes!!!"
The woman suddenly widened her eyes horribly, and frantically grabbed Chi Jinnian by the collar,
"The emperor! You killed him!!!"
"My youth, you killed me!!"
"He's..."
"He's your son—"
Unable to hold back the tears any longer, they slid down like a waterfall.
Chi Jinnian held her wrist tremblingly, his breathing was a little short,
"Mother concubine."
"You already knew that, didn't you."
The empress froze for a moment, tears suddenly broke down.
"It's me! It's me…"
"I'm sorry for him..."
"Nian'er... Mother is wrong... Ah..."
She held onto Chi Jinnian's shoulders tightly, buried her head in his chest, and burst into tears.
She cried like this for a long time until she couldn't cry anymore.
She just leaned against Chi Jinnian's arms until she couldn't breathe anymore.
The years she had been longing for had finally come back.
Too bad she didn't recognize it.
Chi Jinnian was like this, sitting in her palace all afternoon.
It wasn't until the sun went down that their sad mother-child relationship finally came to an end.
--------
Gu Cong opened his eyes, and sat up before he could condense his energy.
He couldn't even see the figure of the little boy, and he couldn't even feel his breathing.
He lifted the quilt with a bang, the pain of the wound was covered by anxiety, and before the monster guarding the door could react, the door was broken open by him.
The door panel shattered into several pieces and flew out, knocking the two monsters in front of them into a blur.
"Come on!"
A howling hog tugged at his leg.
Gu Cong didn't even look at him, and with a palm of luck, the little demon fell silent.
Several monsters rushed over with nervous expressions, and dared not make a move after several steps away from him.
Everyone knows that it is difficult to deal with an adult who is bleeding from yin and yang.
And this grown-up looked extremely angry.
"Where is the princess!"
Gu Cong let out a loud shout, his eyes flushed.
The monsters didn't answer, but rushed forward bravely, and there was a sound of fighting all around.
The clothes were torn several times, and the original wound was painful, but in Gu Cong's heart, he could only find the young master.
"stop!"
Suddenly, a clear, anxious voice broke in.
Gu Cong's eyes widened, and he slapped the demon who was blocking the voice, the demon vomited blood and fell down, but the face of the young man behind him appeared in the field of vision.
The young master was sitting on a low chair, his legs were covered with a gorgeous blanket, and several monsters followed him.
Gu Cong finally couldn't support one leg, and half-kneeled on the ground, looking up at him.
The young man's face was still fair, and there was no scar at first glance, only a red mark on his wrist.
Only then did the pain dissipate, and sweat dripped down from his forehead to his neck.
Gu Cong took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, but he couldn't hide the anxiety in his eyes.
"princess…"
"Master Gu."
The young man interrupted, his eyes frantically shaking, but fixed on his face,
"I am fine."
"Stay here and recuperate."
Uncontrollable anger surged up, Gu Cong stared at his red eyes and shouted loudly,
"princess!!!"
"Did the princess forget the agreement with the prince!"
Ruan Yuan paused for breath, sorrow gripped his throat tightly, unable to speak for a long time.
Forbearance echoed in his eyes, and his tone was unquestionable for the first time,
"Master Gu, go back and rest."
"let's go."
He abruptly turned his gaze away, cut off the heat that Gu Cong cast on his face, and gave an order.
The monsters next to him raised their heads, and the young man carried him back amidst Gu Cong's hoarse shouts.
"Princess, princess!!!"
"Princess, the prince is still waiting for you!"
"My lord," Gu Cong's voice was much hoarse than before, "he will come to us! The princess must not give up here!"
Ruan Yuan couldn't listen anymore, tears streamed down his face, but he didn't look back.
He raised his hand, and the short man stopped again.
"Master Gu."
Short and straight, his pure voice rang out, and the autumn day in this small courtyard was covered with a layer of morning dew,
"Your life is tied to mine..."
"It was just us."
Gu Cong was stunned, a hot drop slid down his cheek, filled with grief and indignation.
In the scorching heat, he watched the monsters walking farther and farther with their shoulders on their shoulders, and Shiyun behind him, with his hands behind his back, glanced at him before approaching the short.
There was hostility in Fang Shiyun's eyes, Gu Cong clenched his fists and wanted to rush forward.
But just now that young master wanted him to live.
--------
"The emperor will choose a concubine next month."
"The palace should be more lively."
"Yes, yes, there are only the Seventh Princess, a child, and the Empress, in the palace. There will be more young masters in the future. It won't be very lively."
"I also heard that the emperor has relaxed the restrictions on choosing a concubine this time... people from the southern regions can also participate."
"Ah, is it because, the Jin Wangfei before the emperor..."
"Hush! It's not popular to mention this name in the palace. A few days ago, someone said it recklessly. When the emperor heard it, he pulled out his tongue."
The maids sighed for a while, and their voices suddenly became much quieter.
Li Wuyue stood behind the corner, grabbed Xiao Luo's sleeve to prevent her from rushing out.
The conversation of those court ladies then disappeared safely into the distance.
Li Wuyue turned her face to look at Xiao Luo, smiled,
"It's a good thing for the emperor to choose a concubine to increase popularity in the palace."
"In the future, the emperor will continue to extend his descendants and revitalize the dragon veins."
"As for that person, the emperor won't allow it to be mentioned, they only dare to say it in secret, so it doesn't matter to us."
Ronaldinho bowed his head obediently and retreated behind her.
Li Wuyue took a step forward, just passed the corner, when she saw a palace lady leading a little girl.
The girl was wearing a delicate skirt and her hair was well coiled, but at the age of two or three, she looked like a melancholy adult.
This is the seventh princess.
The only one the emperor stayed in the palace, sister.
The rest of the princes and princesses who didn't grow up were all sent out of the palace to live in.
Li Wuyue raised a smile, suddenly knelt down in front of the little girl, and stretched out her hand.
"See the Empress."
The maid next to her knelt down, but the little girl only looked at Li Wuyue's fragrant palm.
Li Wuyue looked at her with gentle eyes.
"Princess Seven, is it okay to give the sister-in-law a hug?"
The little girl looked at her suspiciously for a while, but couldn't resist the infection of her body fragrance and gentle eyes, and opened her arms shyly.
Li Wuyue hugged the girl in her arms and stood up, with crescent moons in her eyes.
Chi Jinnian stood far away at the corner, looking at her soft profile.
"Jin Lang."
The voice of the small and exquisite young man sounded in the ear, curling up.
"Why Jin Lang, he has no heirs, does he not like children?"
He remembered the little boy lying on his lap, he remembered flicking his forehead with a finger, and he said,
"I don't want my child to become a pawn of power at birth."
"I guess he's different from me."
"Think he has a good father and a good mother who loves him."
"Nowadays, the women in the palace are not sincere."
"Only you, it's different." He lowered his head and met the young master Xiaoqiao's eyes, "It's also because of you that I have no heirs, so it doesn't matter."
The woman who was holding the child in her eye sockets suddenly started to feel jerky.
His true love is Li Wuyue.
But he couldn't let Ruan Yuan go.
Chi Jinnian turned around, his handsome back disappeared into layers of sweet-scented osmanthus branches, feeling lonely for no reason.
Luo Xiang glanced at Li Wuyue, then turned and followed Chi Jinnian.
