Rebirth after waste

Chapter 152

The emperor was indeed waiting for her in that peach grove.At this moment, the flowering period has passed, and there are only green and luxuriant branches and leaves in the forest, and there is no peach blossom, but he is sitting under the peach tree, looking up and admiring it seriously, as if there are really flowers to admire there.

There were no palace servants around, he was the only one sitting there, looking a bit lonely.

Gu Yunxian stood three steps behind him, and then quietly looked at his back.

In her impression, the emperor was tall, with broad shoulders, and he was the most reliable.But at this moment, the back of the man sitting there was thin, and his whole appearance changed.If Gong'e hadn't told her that His Majesty was waiting here from the beginning, she might not have recognized him.

Her eyes grew wider and wider until they finally started to ache.

The sun shines through the gaps in the branches and shines on the emperor's moon-white dark clothes.He reached out to catch a fallen leaf, and said lightly, "You're back?"

She took a deep breath and said hoarsely, "Yes, I'm back."

The emperor laughed, "Just come back."

She couldn't speak and could only stand there motionless.

He coughed and said to himself: "I kicked you out and caused you to be separated from Ah Huan for several months, you must be very angry, right?
"I admit that you are angry. Anyway, this is the last time. From now on, no one will be able to separate you from Ah Huan. As long as you want, you can always stay by his side."

There was a hidden meaning in his tone, which made her heart sink quickly and desperately like a stone falling into an ancient well.

She stepped up suddenly, ran up to him a few times, and then stared intently at his face.

The emperor didn't seem to expect that she would run over suddenly, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at her in surprise.After a while, he smiled slightly, with a gentle tone, "Don't make such an expression. I will think I'm ugly if you do this."

Under the warm sunshine, his complexion was pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and his cheekbones were high and prominent. He was completely suffering from illness!
There was a burst of warmth on his cheeks, and Gu Yunxian realized that he was crying unknowingly.

"What's wrong with you?" With tears in her eyes, she stared at him for a moment, but her tone of voice seemed to be forcing a confession from a heinous prisoner.

The emperor smiled lightly, "Did no one tell you? Didn't Lu Chuan tell you?"

"I want to hear from you."

He thought for a while, then shrugged helplessly, "It's nothing. I got sick, and that's it."

"What disease? Is it difficult to cure?"

"Well, it's very difficult to cure. The imperial doctors have tried many methods, but none of them worked."

His calm demeanor finally knocked her down.Her legs gave way, and she fell to her knees on the ground.

Holding the emerald green lawn with her hands, she couldn't control the overwhelming panic in her heart as she looked at the familiar but unfamiliar face.

"When did you know?" she murmured. "You drove me away...for this?"

Because he didn't want to make her sad, that's why he kept it from her, and even sent her out of the palace pretending to be heartless?
When she said this, her complexion was pale, her eyes were terrified, but she was also vaguely looking forward to it.

He stared at her expression for a long time, smiled faintly, "You think too much. I sent you away, not because of the reasons you thought. Rather, I don't want to see you in the little time left , increasing troubles in vain.”

Her lips trembled, "I don't believe it."

"You don't believe it?" He raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you believe it?"

"I heard that when I was leaving the palace, you sent Concubine Hui and Jin Jieyu away..."

He said "Yes", "yes, but I didn't do it for you. These two people have evil intentions, and they shouldn't be kept. In the past, I didn't do anything. First, I could suppress them at that time, and second, it was because of them." Your father is still useful to me. Now, there is no need..."

After saying this, seeing that she was still shaking her head blindly, he sighed helplessly, "Why do you think that what I do is for you?"

He looked at her, his dark eyes were full of a quiet and distant look, after so many years of acquaintance, Gu Yunxian had never seen him so peaceful, "Yes, I used to like you very much, but on New Year's Eve What happened at night made me chill. Of course, I sent you away to set up a trap for Mrs. Chen and the others, but more importantly, it was also because I didn't want to see you again.

"I don't have much time, and there are a lot of things to deal with. The villains with bad intentions in the court must be removed, and those who are restless in the harem must be dealt with quickly. Only in this way can Ah Huan secure his status with peace of mind.

"And these are much more important than you..."

His words made her eyes darken, and her eyes drooped, but she suddenly saw a bright golden spot in his sleeve.

She approached a few steps and grabbed his right hand.He still wanted to struggle, but the torment of the illness had prevented him from exerting any more strength.

"This is... my golden hairpin?" She stared blankly at the red gold hairpin in his hand. He had been hiding his hand in his sleeve just now, but she didn't notice it. "You keep it?"

That night, they hugged each other on the imperial concubine's couch in Hanzhang Hall, and he slowly pulled out the golden hairpin from her hair, letting her black hair hang down, covering his palm.

The next morning when she was doing her makeup, she didn't see the gold hairpin, so she thought she had thrown it somewhere, but who knows, it was with him...

His gaze also followed the golden hairpin, and his eyes became complicated.

"You obviously keep my things, but why are you saying these heartless words at this moment?" Tears welled up in her eyes, and the sadness and despair in her heart almost knocked her down, "Why didn't you tell me? Why did you hide it from me? "

He was still silent, she held his hand tightly, and cried out, "Cunqing..."

It was these two words that made him let go of all his pretense, and his heart softened to the point of complete failure.Staring at her slender eyebrows, he said softly, "What am I going to tell you? You're not a doctor, so you can only feel sad when you find out.

"Besides, I don't want you to be by my side at a time like this.

"I still remember that in the 27th year of Linqing's father, the emperor was seriously ill. I entered the palace to serve the sick, and saw with my own eyes that the illness tortured him from a handsome and handsome man to death. At that time, I was thinking, one day I will You must not be so ugly when you leave. At least, don’t let me like people seeing me like this..."

Such a self-willed and ridiculous reason is really the idea of ​​a certain part of his heart.He didn't want to drag her into misery with him all day long, and he didn't want her to watch him become haggard and ugly day by day, so he chose to send her away.

It's a pity he didn't make it to the end.

In the middle of last night, he woke up from a nightmare, and his thoughts of her suddenly grew wildly like weeds.Holding the golden hairpin, he sat on the bed until dawn, and finally gave in to the desire in his heart, and sent someone to recall her from Maoshan, to see her for the last time.

She looked at him in disbelief, and suddenly laughed out a moment later.Tears flowed down her cheeks, she sat slumped in front of him, and slowly fell on his knee.

It wasn't until this moment that she was finally sure that he was still the same as he used to be.Even if he loves her, he still sticks to his own way and doesn't ask her opinion at all.

So arrogant.so cruel.

He lowered his head and stroked her bun with his fingers, "I named Cui Shuo the crown prince and tutor. He loves Ah Huan very much and will try his best to teach him. When Ah Huan grows up, he will definitely become a wise king. "Paused, "But before that, you have to put in more thought. The forces in the palace and court are very complicated. I have tried my best to deal with all the troubles, but there are always omissions. If you encounter difficulties, you can Rely on Cui Shuo. I made a deal with him...you can trust him."

After saying this, he smiled bitterly.Even without this deal, Cui Shuo would try his best to keep her.Because of Cui Shuo's feelings for her, he can be sure that he will not have any undue thoughts.He will be loyal to Ah Huan for the rest of his life, and take over from him to guard Yunniang.

The breeze blows, and a few leaves rustle down.He looked ahead and felt his eyes begin to blur.

During this period of time, he was already too sick to get up, and when he woke up from a faint two hours ago, he felt surprisingly energetic, and he was able to support himself to sit up.He noticed the abnormality in his body, understood the reason for the sudden improvement, and sighed in his heart.

Back to light.

Probably, it is today.

Because it was clear that there was no time, another team was sent to meet her, for fear that if it was too late, they would never see her again.

Fortunately, he finally waited.

"Yunniang, do you remember? I once said that I would plant a peach grove for you, and here...is the peach grove I gave you..." Waves of exhaustion surged up in his body, and he began to feel drowsy , Articulation is not as clear as before.

Gu Yunxian looked up following his words, but saw the surrounding grass and luxuriant branches and leaves. Hundreds of peach trees stretched in the breeze, and a few tender green leaves fell from time to time.Although she has never seen it before, she can imagine how beautiful it is when the flowers bloom every year.

She leaned on his leg and said softly: "I remember. You said that these peach trees were planted by you in the year I left the palace."

He chuckled, "Actually, I didn't order people to plant them.

"I... planted it with my own hands...

"At that time, whenever I thought of you, I would come here to plant a peach tree, and before I knew it, a garden was filled..."

Holding the trunk with thin and long fingers, he buried the roots into the loess bit by bit.Looking at the newly planted flowers and trees, he felt that his thoughts were also buried, and his heart was not so uncomfortable.In the second year, the flowers bloomed, and each flower was extraordinarily gorgeous, like blood-stained.He stood in the forest, looked at these beautiful flowers, and thought that Acacia is red.

"Calculating, it has been six years since this peach grove was planted. I have always wanted to bring you here to enjoy the peach blossoms, but I have always been unable to do so.

"It's almost May now, and all the flowers this year have withered, and we still haven't been able to catch up...

"Actually, the flowers here are really beautiful when they bloom. You must come and see them when you have a chance in the future."

Six years ago, he planted a garden full of peach trees for her with his own hands, but in the end, they couldn't enjoy the peach blossom together here once.

I used to think there was always a chance.When the ties between each other are gone, when she falls in love with him again, they can sit here and fulfill their previous promises one by one.

Unfortunately, he overestimated his luck.He couldn't wait for her to change her mind, and he couldn't watch the romance with her side by side.

When the flowers bloomed this year, he stood alone in the forest, remembering the colorful peaches he shot down her hand with an arrow when they first met, he couldn't help sighing, it really was a human face, and the peach blossoms still smiled at the spring breeze.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at him intently, "Cunqing, Cunqing, listen to me. There is one thing I wanted to tell you a long time ago." There seemed to be two fires burning in the dark pupils, and it was shocking to see, " I once said that I am no longer tempted by you, right? Those words don’t count, I changed my mind! I care about you, and I want to be with you forever! So don’t give up, there must be a way! This world There are so many people with excellent medical skills, let's go find someone, there will always be someone who can save you!"

He looked at her almost crazy look quietly, and gently touched her cheek, "I'm very happy that you are willing to say these words to coax me." With the other hand, he slowly inserted the golden hairpin into her "Don't feel guilty, it doesn't matter if you don't love me. I'm satisfied to be able to make this hairpin for you at the end."

In fact, up to this moment, he was even grateful in his heart that she didn't love him.Otherwise, after he left, how would she survive this long time?
"No, no, I didn't lie to you." With tears streaming down her face, she said incoherently, "That day after you played polo with Cui Shuo, Fan Su came to my palace and talked about the past five years. I know I'm glad you've kept your promise to me. I really..."

"Yunniang." He became more and more confused, and could only say with the last of his strength, "Don't you understand? Everything is God's will. I owe you a life, and I will pay you back. The world reincarnates, Couldn't be more fair."

"Actually, I am very happy now. For many years, no matter what I do, I always feel owed. I thought that I would not be able to make up for my past mistakes and find peace of mind. But God gave me a chance.

"I have trapped you for two lifetimes, making it impossible for you to live the life you want. In the days to come, you can do as you please. No matter what choice you make, I will not blame you. This is what I owe you.

"I just hope that if you have another life, you won't hate me anymore..."

His head lowered slowly, and his body leaned forward, falling on top of her.Her whole body was stiff, and she immediately collapsed like mud when she hit her, and the two of them fell together on the green lawn.

She lay down and hugged his shoulders tightly.He was really too thin to be human, and her arms wrapped around him easily.His head rested on her chest, and she could see his tightly closed eyes as soon as she lowered her head.

His expression was so peaceful, as if he was just asleep.She was stunned and stared at him.

Those obsidian eyes will no longer flash with playful light, making her feel at a loss what to do; those beautiful lips will no longer utter tender words of love, which will make her heart flutter and make her sour; It is written into the yellowed pages and becomes a fixed symbol, which can no longer disturb the spring of the imperial capital and shake off the splendor of the three thousand years.

He really left her.

She suddenly hissed and wept bitterly, like a cuckoo weeping blood, as if she wanted to tell all the sorrows of the two lifetimes.

It turned out that this was the real ending God gave them.

In the last life, she carried the knowledge that he didn't love her to death with hatred; in this life, he didn't believe that she really fell in love with him again until the last moment.

He had failed her all her life, and she had failed him all her life.

They finally owed nothing to anyone.
