From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 823 Two Years Later

In an instant, Zongzheng Mingzhen sobered up, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, took a mouthful of snow, rinsed his mouth with snow water, and passed away.

Coming out of Qianqing Palace early, Mei Xin never expected to meet him here.Seeing him staggering as if he was drunk, she held back the pain and supported the stone bench next to him and stood up as if nothing had happened.

"What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" With a solemn expression on his face, he saw her covering her belly with one hand, and he knew it.

Never willing to show weakness in front of others, this kind of thing is not easy to tell a foreigner, Mei Xin reluctantly stood up straight, straightened her legs and back, and replied: "No, the road slipped and fell in the snow, it's not uncomfortable at all. .The Duke came out to sober up, so I won't bother you, I'll go back first."

Having nothing to say and respecting his choice, Mei Xin turned and left after finishing speaking.

As she walked, the blood rushed down like a flood, and her expression changed due to the pain.But she didn't stop, instead of stopping, she tried to keep her body steady and walked forward, hoping to get out of here quickly.

Zongzheng Mingzhen had already guessed it. Seeing that her walking posture was different from usual, she became more certain.Striding forward to block her way, he said, "Don't be brave if you don't feel well, I'll take you back."

Stretching out her hand to help her arm, she didn't expect her to avoid her like a snake and scorpion, she instinctively took a step back, Mei Xin said politely with an indifferent and distant face: "Thank you for your concern, Duke Guo, I'm fine, I can go back by myself, don't bother me. "

"Do you hate me that much?" The subconscious action stimulated him, hurt him, and made him very sad, but he couldn't help but blurted out.

Before he finished speaking, he felt very embarrassed, very uncomfortable, Zongzheng Mingzhen turned his head and looked aside as if angry.

Obviously, he had already thought about it before in the palace, and he would never talk to her again, never look at her again, seeing her sad, he couldn't help it anymore.

With a daze on her face, Mei Xin looked at him inexplicably and said: "The Duke is worrying too much. We should keep a distance between a man and a woman if they are married or not. What's more, I have been talked about for giving birth out of wedlock. For the sake of the Duke's For the sake of reputation, or..."

"Do you have to say that, do you have to poke my heart with a knife?" growled and scratched his heart with claws, Zongzheng Mingzhen couldn't take it anymore, his heart seemed to have fallen into a frying pan, It was excruciating.

I don't know where his anger came from, right now my stomach hurts like twists and I don't want to argue with him, Mei Xin smiled bitterly and said: "Master Guo is drunk, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it after we wake up."

Dodging and moving around him, Mei Xin ignored the pain on her body and continued to walk forward.

Zongzheng Mingzhen grabbed her arm and held it firmly, saying, "I'm leaving the capital, and in the future... maybe I'll never come back. Don't you have anything to tell me?"

Her heart suddenly tightened, as if she had been bitten severely by something, the pain was severe, but Mei Xin didn't show it at all.Enduring the severe physical and mental pain, she said word by word: "Bon voyage!"

"You..." Yazi was about to burst, Zongzheng Mingzhen couldn't even speak.

Mei Xin ignored it, as if she couldn't see his fire-breathing eyes, and said extremely coldly: "It's late at night, and the banquet ahead is about to end. If the Duke has nothing else to do, I'll go back first. The Duke I have to leave in two days, so please forgive me for not being able to see you off, I hope the Duke of the Kingdom will have a smooth life, be safe and happy!"

After finishing speaking, she shook his arm away with internal force, and she left.

If it was just angry before, it is undoubtedly angry now. Zongzheng Mingzhen, who drank a lot of wine, was so angry that he rushed up to block her way again and said, "Is that all? What you want to tell me is Is that all?"

Say a word, just say a word of retention, and he will stay and never leave.

Looking at him, Mei Xin suddenly felt it was ridiculous, he was the one who didn't want to get married, and he was the one who wanted to leave, so what should she say now?

beg him?Begging him to stay, begging him to marry her?
No, she wouldn't do that, and she wouldn't beg someone who was leaving to stay.Those who want to leave will eventually leave, and those who are forced to stay are only people, not hearts.

In her previous life, her marriage to King Heping had failed enough, and she didn't want to do it again.If two people are destined not to be happy together and live a seemingly incompatible life, then she would rather be alone.

Not wanting to entangle with him anymore, Mei Xin suddenly felt tired, she relaxed all over and said weakly: "What does the Duke want to hear, why don't you just tell me, tell me, and I'll tell you."

Once again Zongzheng Mingzhen's heart ached, the pain was as if someone was holding it tightly in his hand, it was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

They stared at each other for a long time, and finally Zongzheng Mingzhen got out of the way.Mei Xin left, her feet were heavy as if her legs were used to lead, but she never looked back.

Facing the wind and snow with tears in her eyes, she walked forward step by step, without hesitation, just like she chose to give birth to the child at the beginning, without fear of wind, frost, snow and rain, and without fear of gossip.

Zongzheng Mingzhen also cried, with tears in his eyes and red eyes, he clenched his fists hard to resist the urge to pull her into his arms.He and Mei Xin made mistakes at the beginning, one wrong step, one step at a time, and now they have entered a dead end, and there is no way to turn back.

The inner suffering is unspeakable, but he can't find any way out. He seems to have fallen into the abyss, with no way out.

Maybe what she said is right, they are not the same people, even if they met, they still couldn't reach the same goal after all.

My mother said that she would lose her, but in fact, she didn't even have it, so how could she lose it?She is a plum heart made of iron and blood. No matter how hot the fire is, it will not melt her, and no amount of tenderness will open her heart. The relationship between the two of them is over before it even begins.

Whose heart was chilled by the boundless night, and those people were hurt, after all, the snowy wind and white snow still couldn't keep the people who wanted to leave.No, Zongzheng Mingzhen left the capital with his family as soon as the city gate opened early in the morning on the fifth day of the fifth day without disturbing anyone. They had already left for more than an hour when relatives came to see him off.

Mei Xin was feeding porridge to her two children when she received the news. When she heard that he had left, she smiled and said nothing.

Time flies like fireworks, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.From winter to spring, everything recovers, willows sprout, and the round and tender elm coins can be steamed with flour.

On the most beautiful April day in the world, Mei Xin, who has moved back to the Princess Mansion from the palace, took her two children out for an outing.

The children grew up very fast and were very active. As soon as they came out, they couldn't hold back the wild horses that had run out of the rein, and they ran around and moved non-stop.

Because she is so active and she runs so fast, the maidservant can't keep up at all, especially when she goes outside, she jumps up and down like a monkey cub.

Fearing that they would run away and disappear in a short while, she asked the maids and women to rest, and Mei Xin asked Zishuang and Zixue, who were born in secret guards, to watch them.

Seeing her performing lightness kung fu when the two of them were in a hurry, Mei Xin shook her head speechlessly. Everyone said it was good to have a son, but told her to be a good-looking girl, especially her sister-in-law, Princess Jing'an, who was born last year, is really beautiful and annoying. People hurt.

"Princess, the second master is here." Seeing Mei Zhongkai approaching from afar, Bai Zhi reminded her.

Hearing the sound, she looked back at Mei Zhongkai, seeing his happy face seemed to be very happy, Mei Xin said: "Look at this appearance, I like it, you go and invite the third lady over."

　It was finally time to say goodbye, and I let out a long sigh of relief, as if the debt was almost paid off.There are also the last few chapters, which will be updated continuously in the past few days.
