Seeking peace

Chapter 10 She Really Didn't Come Back
in the palace.

Every year on this day, the emperor will go down early.

The officials didn't understand, they only knew that no matter what happened, they couldn't disturb the emperor today.

Only Xia Chen, the emperor's personal bodyguard, knew the cause and effect.

The emperor has been on the throne for three years, logically he should have married General Jiang's only daughter long ago.

But the emperor thought that the first emperor had kept his filial piety for three years and postponed the wedding.

Not only did he not marry Ms. Jiang, but he also did not conduct a draft.

So far the harem is empty.

But it is said that there is not a single master in the harem.

According to people in the palace, there is a concubine Ning in the harem.

The palace where Concubine Ning lives is Taoyuanju, which is a word mentioned by the emperor himself.

The emperor also often went to Taoyuan to stay overnight.

It's just that this Concubine Ning has never appeared in front of people.

Except for the servants at Taoyuan Residence, none of the other court ladies and eunuchs had ever seen this mysterious Concubine Ning.

After court, Yun Qi walked to the door of Taoyuan Residence.

Looking at the words Taoyuanju, Yun Qi stopped for a while.

Xia Chen next to him was in a heavy mood.

Others don't know, but he is very clear.

Concubine Ning in Taoyuan Juli never existed.

It was nothing more than an empty palace.

Taoyuan Residence is just what the master promised Miss An back then.

It's just that the person is no longer there, so what kind of Taoyuan is Taoyuanju?

After entering the door, the pavilions and pavilions in front of you are exactly the same as the second lady An Ning's residence in An Guogong's mansion.

When the Anguo Mansion was rebuilt, this Taoyuan residence was also rebuilt, and the two sides were rebuilt to look the same.

Yun Qi walked under the peach blossom tree and stood under the tree without moving for a long time.

The peach blossoms of this season have long since faded away.

There are no peach blossoms on the tree, and there is no old friend under the tree.

I don't know how long it took, but Xia Chen couldn't stand it anymore, he took a step forward and persuaded, "Your Majesty, Miss An won't be coming back."

"She will come back every time, and this time will be no exception."

"Your Majesty, it's been three years. If she can come back, she should be back the next day. Miss An is really dead, and she won't come back again."

Xia Chen knew that his master was deceiving himself.

He did not acknowledge Miss An's death, and still firmly believed that Miss An would come back.

But it's been so long, Miss An's body has been found, how can she come back again.

Yun Qi turned his head and looked at the peach blossom tree.

When she was 14 years old, she told him that she would wait for him to come to her under the peach blossom tree.

She also said that she will live in Taoyuan Juli in the future.

He built Taoyuan Residence and planted peach blossom trees.

He came, but could not find her.

Three years.

She really didn't come back.

Three years ago, when she walked out of the study, she asked him:
Yun Qi, have you ever thought that one day I will have tasks that I cannot complete, and one day I may not be able to come back...

He didn't think much of it at the time.

But he didn't expect that to be the last words she said to him.

He avenged his wish as he wished, sat on the throne, and took possession of the country.

But he was even more destitute than before.

It was only then that Yun Qi remembered that during those years when he was overwhelmed by hatred, there was always a figure by his side by his side.

Every time she stood in front of her.

She's human too, and she gets hurt too, but she never, never lets herself know it.

She hid her wounds where he couldn't see them.

Give him the best of her.

"Brother Yunqi, I'm back."

Every time she came back, she would tell him this.

He wanted to hear it again, just once.

Just once.

He won't let her go again.
