Bring your son to chase after your wife, please go home

Chapter 542 The Old Love Asks for a Marriage (7)
"Elder-in-law asked everyone to go to receive the order. Now you are the only one missing. Let me help you there!" Madam Du put the lantern aside and reached out to help her.

The white-haired maid did not resist, and obediently followed her up and walked slowly towards the courtyard with old steps.

As soon as she came in, Xue Zhang moved aside, glanced at everyone with disdainful eyes, then casually opened the sealed scroll, and by the light of the lantern in the hand of the little eunuch beside him, he read aloud: " I am very sad for the queen's funeral, thinking of all the people in Yongning Lane who have worked hard here since the day they entered the palace, and specially amnesty Yongning Lane on the day of national mourning. No matter how old or young they are, they will all leave the palace tomorrow morning, and Yongning will be banned from now on Lane, I will be ruled by the new king after a hundred years."

Most of the people kneeling here to listen to the decree are old palace ladies who are old and unable to move. Hearing such an imperial decree at this time, it is like a bird that has been locked in a cage for many years has been opened, and everyone can't help but be happy , After listening to the decree, they all went back to the room to pack their things.

Only the white-haired court lady named "Achan" walked slowly back to the foot of the old locust tree after Xue Zhang and the others left.

Seeing her going back, Madam Du walked over with a lantern and asked softly, "A-chan, you can finally go home, aren't you happy?"

"Home?" As if hearing the sarcastic words, the white-haired palace maid sneered, with countless desolations, "Where else do I have a home other than here?"

Mother Du felt sad when she heard the words, sat down next to her, and sighed slightly, "I watched these people grow up one by one. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and they don't know how to live outside the palace. Your loved ones are alright."

"Nurse Du, are you going to follow them out of the palace tomorrow morning?" The white-haired palace maid lowered her eyes, her calm and hoarse voice could not detect any emotion.

Madam Du nodded slowly, then turned her head and said to her: "Ah Chan, no matter what, you have been here for decades, and now you finally have the chance to leave the palace, you should go out with us, if you really have nowhere to go But go, just go with me, I will take you to my hometown."

"I won't go." The white-haired palace lady shook her head, her eyes full of sadness, "For a person with a dead heart, it's the same wherever he goes, not to mention that I'm not used to the outside world, I'm not used to seeing the sun, only this place is full of darkness." The decaying Yongning Lane is my final destination."

Madam Du couldn't persuade her, finally sighed helplessly, and left with a lantern.

After Madam Du left, another beam of more dazzling light shone over.

The white-haired court lady once again raised her hand to cover her eyes uncomfortably. Through the gap between her fingertips, a pair of bright yellow embroidered dragon boots came into view. Her eyelids twitched, and the corners of her mouth twitched, causing the wrinkles on her face to bend into a desolate arc.

Emperor Liang stood in front of her for a long while without hearing her words. In the end, he couldn't help but squat down, stretched out his fingers to gently lift her chin, looked at her full head of white hair and wrinkled face, his fingers trembling It took a while to ask her in a low voice, "Xuechan, it's been so many years, do you still hold grudges against me?"

After [-] years in charge of the country, Emperor Liang called himself "I" in front of a woman for the first time. Unfortunately, the woman he was willing to lower his status for her did not appreciate it.

The white-haired palace lady stretched out her withered fingers to move his hand away, and a hoarse voice sounded, "How about hating? What if you don't hate?"

"I imprisoned you for 20 years, but I still can't hold a single heart." Emperor Liang looked at her, his dry lips trembling slightly.

"My heart has died a long time ago, where are you going to tie it?" The white-haired palace lady spoke calmly, but the hoarse voice made people sound a little creepy.
