185 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Haitang
byAt daylight, with the scorching sun high in the sky, the camp was busy, and boxes of luggage were being loaded onto the carriage behind them.
Xie Ciyan carried Yan Zhaozhao, who was still sleeping, into the carriage that had already been laid out with a soft couch. After everything was ready, Huo Sui, wearing an armored military uniform, walked slowly toward them with a sword in his hand.
Bi Luo, who had not seen Huo Sui for half a month, could not help but be startled. She stood beside the carriage, looking a little embarrassed.Huo Sui had never set foot in her camp since the last time they broke up on bad terms. However, since that day, there was a female doctor taking care of her injuries. Now the wounds are no longer serious and are being nursed back to normal.The emperor had no plan to stay here for a long time, but because she was accidentally injured, his mother-in-law could not bear to worry about her being left here alone, so she insisted on staying with the emperor until now.
Bi Luo lowered her eyes, but kept glancing at Huo Sui everywhere casually.His heartbeat was already accelerating without any control. Behind him was the sound of soldiers loading boxes of luggage onto carriages. Amidst the flying dust, the smell of parting became stronger.She knew that after returning to the palace today, they would still return to their own world like two roads that should not intersect, and have nothing to do with each other anymore.
She knew it clearly, and that part of her heart was trembling with expectation, but also seemed to be afraid of something.
Just let herself take one last look at him, she thought.
Bi Luo pretended to turn around, but the moment she raised her eyes, she quietly glanced at Huo Sui.As if the man was completely unaware of her gaze, he walked past her with his sword in hand, walking firmly, and did not stop until he was in front of the carriage.
She didn’t want to look back, but she still couldn’t help but peek at him the moment he passed by.Huo Sui still walked as usual, his eyes were cold and a little solemn, and his whole body exuded the fierceness and demeanor of a general.
But there was no trace of Biluo in his eyes.
After realizing this, Bi Luo’s heart tightened slightly, as if she was being grasped by something, and even her breathing was stagnant for a moment.Then she exhaled heavily and forced a smile.This is how it should be, he should be so high-spirited, and she shouldn’t greedily try to stand by his side, she just needs to look up at the afterglow.
“Your Majesty, the army can set off.” Huo Sui compiled his words and said a faint thank you towards the carriage.
Yan Zhaozhao was still sleeping, so Xie Ciyan’s voice was inevitably softer, and he even spoke less than usual.”Let’s set off.”
Huo Sui took the order. This time he did not sit with Bi Luo on the outer edge of the carriage to drive the carriage. Instead, he walked to the front of the army and got on the horse. Another lieutenant general took Huo Sui’s place and drove the horse for the emperor and the empress.
The forced smile on Bi Luo’s face could hardly be maintained, and her heart was swollen and full of bitterness, which seemed to be a bit more bitter than the concoctions she drank these days.
The group, headed by Huo Sui, rode towards the palace road.
The autumn hunting was over. Although the emperor and empress were not at the hunting ground, the ministers still did not dare to leave. They stayed at the hunting ground for nearly half a month. When they heard that the emperor was returning to the palace, they could no longer sit still and hurriedly followed the emperor’s footsteps back to the palace.
But Xie Ciyan and his party, who had clearly been on the palace road, turned around halfway and headed towards a valley.
Mid-autumn is in full bloom in the valley, with clusters of flowers blooming like clouds and blooming along the hillside.The breeze blows, the waves of flowers sway gently, the fragrance floats, and the colorful butterflies shuttle among them, just like the fairyland falling into the mortal world.
Xie Ciyan couldn’t help but laugh when he saw that the woman lying in his arms was still sleeping.His fingertips lightly touched Yan Zhaozhao’s smooth cheek, and then his fingertips pressed against her soft lips, and whispered: “Zhaozhao, open your eyes and take a look.”
Yan Zhaozhao, who was woken up from a deep sleep, was a little dissatisfied. He frowned and was reluctant to open his eyes, muttering softly, “What are you looking at…”
“Look at me.” Xie Ciyan’s eyebrows were filled with a helpless and doting smile, and his fingertips pushed away the broken hair on her temples.
Yan Zhaozhao arched into his arms like a sleepy kitten, wrapping her hands around his thin waist, “We’ll see you later in the evening.” For fear that the man would disturb her rest again, she continued: “I will definitely take a closer look at you inside and out tonight, okay…”
Xie Ciyan felt like her heart was about to melt. He just wanted her to continue sleeping.He opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to agree, but when he looked at the flowers outside, he endured the reluctance, picked up Yan Zhaozhao, and sat in his arms. Then he raised his hand to open the curtain, and the fragrance of flowers outside the window rushed into the car.
“Don’t look at me, look outside.” He coaxed in a low voice, coaxing her to open her eyes over and over again, “You will like it.”
After saying a few words, Yan Zhaozhao also lost some sleepiness. In the end, she couldn’t resist Xie Ciyan, so she forced her eyelids to open her eyes.But after seeing the scenery outside clearly in the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and straightened up. There was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes, only full of surprise and amazement.
The streets leading to the valley are lined with flowers. The golden scent of osmanthus is getting clearer in the distance. Clusters of begonias are blooming quietly, mixed with asters and anus. Autumn is blooming quietly in this corner.
“Where is this?” Yan Zhaozhao’s voice was full of surprise, and her eyes kept looking around, “Aren’t we going back to the palace?!”
Xie Ciyan stepped forward and hugged the sweetheart who was leaning in front of the window. He rested his chin on her shoulder and placed a soft kiss on her ear with his thin lips. “In previous years, I accidentally discovered this valley on my way back to the palace, so I quietly planted your favorite flowers, just to wait for your birthday and bring you here to stay for a few days.”
He originally planned to stay in the military camp for a few days and then bring Yan Zhaozhao over here, but she was reluctant to leave because she was worried about the maid’s injury, so he was delayed.
Seeing her happy look now, Xie Ciyan felt an indescribable feeling of satisfaction in his heart. He whispered softly into her ear, “I also specially built a hot spring here. The petals fall into the water with the wind and you can bathe with the flowers. I think you will like it.”
The prince in his arms moved his forehead frequently, thinking that he liked this place very much.He said apologetically: “Unfortunately, we can only stay here for one day. We have to return to the palace tomorrow. This autumn hunt has delayed a lot of time. Moreover, everyone in the court knows about my return to the capital. If I stay any longer, I may upset the officials.” He hugged Yan Zhaozhao tighter in his arms, as if he was afraid that she would be unhappy, and hurriedly coaxed: “If Zhaozhao likes it, I can take you to live here for a while, okay?”
Seeing the guilty look on the man’s face, Yan Zhaozhao turned around and hugged Xie Ciyan.”Thank you, Mr. Sir, I’m very happy.” She didn’t feel disappointed at all. Instead, she was very surprised and sighed at his intentions.”It’s enough for me to be happy that you have put in the effort to arrange this for me. You are not only my sweetheart, but also the emperor of a country. You should care about your people and courtiers, so you don’t need to feel guilty about me.”
She stood up and kissed the corner of Xie Ciyan’s lips, “Shengguo has a king like you, and I am lucky to have a husband like you.”
Yan Zhaozhao looked at the man whose eyes were full of hers, and her fingertips couldn’t help but caress his eyebrows and every part of him.She rarely went outside the palace, so naturally she had never seen the suffering of the people. However, during the days when she accompanied him in the Yangxin Hall to review memorials, she could always see the suffering of the people who were living in poverty.Although Xie Ciyan sat on the dragon chair that everyone dreamed of, no one knew that there was an abyss under the dragon chair. If he took one wrong step, he would fall into a place of eternal destruction.
The world only knows that he governs the country well, but they don’t know how difficult the word “governing the country” is.Nowadays, the national treasury is empty, and all he has used is what he earned in previous years. He has exempted the people from taxes for three years, but is using his own private money to make up for the mess left by the deposed emperor.Such a king, such a thank you to Ciyan, how could she not be proud of him.
Xie Ciyan’s heart felt hot, and he pressed his hands against the car wall, tightly holding Yan Zhaozhao in his arms.He was about to say something, but she held his cheeks first, “Thank you, my husband.” Her eyes were so bright that they seemed to be hiding sparks, and she stared at him with scorching eyes, as if all her affection was integrated into that moment of gaze.”You are the best and most irreplaceable in my heart.”
Her fingertips gently traced his outline, her eyes soft but firm.The next moment, she kissed him with full of affection, her lips gently pressed against his, as if she had fully conveyed her unexpressed feelings.
The moment their lips touched, the initiative was already taken back by Xie Ciyan.He clasped her slender waist with one hand and pressed the back of her head with the other. He kissed her passionately and eagerly, as if they wanted to rub each other into their bones and blood. Their lips and tongues were intertwined, and their affection was so strong that it almost engulfed them.
The autumn wind blew gently, and a few petals of begonia fell quietly, passing through the corner of the curtain raised by the car, and fell softly into the car.As the shadows of the flowers swayed, a pair of wall figures embraced and kissed each other, their lips and teeth intertwined, as if even the wind could not bear to disturb them, and only gently dropped the petals on their overlapping hair and shoulders, creating a quiet and moving picture.
