Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 144: The Soul (1)

Qiu Zhu was pushed by surprise, but fortunately Li Zhong caught him, otherwise he would have fallen on his back.

Looking at the arrogant princess sitting in front of Mei Qing, Qiu Zhu snorted disdainfully.

"The imperial palace is beautiful, but it's not fun at all. Look at those palace people, they are obviously still breathing in and out, but they stand still and don't say a word one by one. They are no different from dead people. If it weren't for Because this is inside the imperial palace, this lady really thinks this is some kind of hellish place."

Xiao Xi'er rolls her eyes, the underworld?

"Since Sister Qiu doesn't like the palace very much, how about I ask Li Zhong to send you out?" You should go quickly, don't cling to Mr. Mei from this hall.

"You asked Li Zhong to send me out of the palace?" Qiu Zhu looked at Xiao Xi'er with a smile.

No matter how careless Qiu Zhu's temper is, the careful thoughts of this imperial concubine can be seen clearly at a glance.

Xiao Xi'er also smiled sweetly and nodded her hardworking little head, thinking: Yes, yes, yes, not only can I send you out of the palace, but I can also send you back to my hometown for free, no matter how far the journey is, the hall will be responsible for the entire cost, as long as you Just don't appear in front of Mr. Mei again.

snort!Wanting to lure her, Qiu Zhu, out of the palace... "My lady thanked Her Royal Highness for her kindness, but this lady came to the palace to serve Mr. Mei, and if Mr. Mei does not leave the palace for a day, this lady will not leave the palace either."

Dream, Your Royal Highness, I haven't visited the palace enough yet.

"You!" Xiao Xi'er bared her teeth and pointed at Qiu Zhu angrily.

"What about you, Miss Ben is doing well. Mr. Mei, I'll go to the Imperial Garden again. You should rest and recuperate. Xiaozhu will serve you later."

Qiu Zhu pulled Li Zhong up and ran away, she was too lazy to continue bickering with Xiao Xi'er, a tricky princess, she might as well wander around in this sinister palace.

The two figures ran wildly in the winding and winding corridor, Li Zhong let Qiu Zhu pull him to run, regardless of whether she led her on the right path or not, he just kept smirking as he watched himself being held tightly by Qiu Zhu. hand.

After running wildly for a while, he finally stopped at an intersection extending in all directions.

Qiu Zhu looked here and then there, her mind was in a mess, she only felt that these roads were really familiar, but she really couldn't remember which one was the road leading to the imperial garden.

"Li Zhong." Qiu Zhu raised his elbow to poke the person behind him, and asked, "Which one is going to the Imperial Garden?"

The people behind were silent for a while, Qiu Zhu looked back in doubt, and saw Li Zhong smiling stupidly, as if his soul had been hooked.

"Li Zhong? Li Zhong, Li Zhong!"

"Ok?"

Qiu Zhu called three times, Li Zhong finally answered, but his silly smile...

"Li Zhong, did you get Hun'er away by Black and White Impermanence?"

"No! No." Li Zhong realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly put away his silly smile and put on a serious face.

"Then I asked you how to get to the Royal Garden, why didn't you answer me?"

"The Imperial Garden? Xiaozhu, if you want to go to the Imperial Garden, tell me earlier. Let's go, I'll take you there."

Li Zhong stepped forward, and because Qiu Zhu held Li Zhong's hand together, she followed Li Zhong's forward.

At this time, Qiu Zhufang realized that his hand and Li Zhong's hand were tightly holding each other.

A sweet smile climbed onto the cheeks of the young daughter's family, and a faint thread of affection hooked the hearts of the two.

The sweetness is spreading, but after dissipating, I don't know whether it is bitter, sweet, or astringent.

It is not yet summer, and the imperial garden is in full bloom at this time.The flowers and colors in the garden are dazzling, and the attractive fragrance of flowers is intoxicating.

It's just that in the past two days, there is a strong scent of sandalwood in the air with the fragrance of flowers, and there is also the smell of burnt paper money from time to time.

A confession case stands in the most luxuriant part of the imperial garden, and there are fruit plates, incense candles and a wooden sign on the confession case.

There are four big characters 'Su Niang's Tomb' written on the wooden sign, which are simple and without any other words to embellish.

Xiao Yi squatted under the confession case burning paper money, her plain face was pale and colorless.

Su Niang died, and after Xiao Yi rescued them into another boat building, he arranged for a large number of water-savvy people to rescue anyone who might survive in the boat building that was gradually sinking to the bottom of the river. people.

Fortunately, more than half of the people in the boat building survived, but Su Niang...

According to Xiao Yi, when he found Su Niang, Su Niang had already been soaked in the water from the Beijing Huaihe River, her whole body was cold and stiff, and she lost her breath.

Because that woman named Gu Suli actually cruelly took out Su Niang's heart.

Fortunately, the ship building was flooded quickly, Su Niang was not burned anywhere, at least she was still a beautiful woman when she died.At least……

"Sister Su, you have told me since we met that you are going to the other side of the world to find your long-lost lover..." A tear fell, and Xiao Yi raised her hand to wipe it away.

"Now that you have finally gone to the other end of the world, I hope you can find him, the one who loves you deeply and holds you as a treasure. If possible, you will drag him and walk slowly on this road to hell. "

"Wait for me, Xiao Yi, I will be your sister in the next life, okay? Sister Su. Let me be your sister in the next life, let me take care of you, and then laugh at you and your other him, okay? Sister Su .”

Looking at the four words on the wooden sign, Xiao Yi thought back to the time when she first met this woman.

Su Niang has never mentioned her real name to Xiao Yi, nor has she ever told Xiao Yi about her past, even her him, she only mentions it occasionally.

At first, the two were unfamiliar, so Xiao Yi didn't dare to ask.

Later, because the two were too familiar, Su Niang didn't mention it, and Xiao Yi never asked.

It's just that Xiao Yi never thought that the sisterhood between the two would be so short, and so...the two of them came together because of the news pavilion, but in the end they were separated because of the news pavilion.

Heh, can this be regarded as God's irony?Or the mockery of the world?No matter who it is, she, Xiao Yi, is no longer the little girl who founded the News Pavilion back then, she knows how she will go in the future.

The paper money was slowly burned to ashes in the fire, and then drifted away with the wind.

Xiao Yi stared blankly at the brazier, her phoenix eyes were emotionless, her hands were just mechanically burning the paper money, if there were tears overflowing from her eyes, she just raised her hand to wipe them away silently, never crying .

Xiao Yi stood behind her without saying a word.

The number of times he has seen that woman can be counted on his fingers, but he knows that Xiao Yi cares about her no less than her parents and elder brothers.

And even more.

Xiao Yi wandered the world alone for three years, but thanks to Su Niang's company, she was not lonely because of being alone.

Xiao Yi is grateful to Su Niang, but her death is an irreversible ending...Seeing that the paper money in Xiao Yi's hand was burned, Xiao Yi knelt down.

"Yueyue."

"Ah."

"Su Niang will find her him, the him who loves her deeply and treats her like a treasure."

"Well, yes." The corners of her pale lips curled up slightly, Xiao Yi leaned back very naturally, and leaned into Xiao Yi's arms, this warm embrace. "Xiao Yi."

"Well, I'm here."

"I, Xiao Yi, have been lucky in my three lives. Just now, you, Xiao Yi, love me so deeply and treat me like a treasure."

"Yueyue, having you is the greatest blessing in my life, Xiao Yi."

Xiao Yi just smiled and said nothing, no longer arguing.

In this matter, no one will regress, but so what, as long as the two of them can live well, that is the best ending.

Sister Su, you can go to find him at ease, Sister Xiao doesn't need you to worry about her anymore.It's just that the news pavilion... I'm afraid it will disappear in the Jianghu from now on, and become a leader in the special derivative industry in an era that will never return.

Perhaps, after the news pavilion disappears, there will be a lot of people to take over, but no matter who takes over, the news pavilion will not get involved here again.

The emperor and empress hugged each other affectionately, behind the rockery, a pair of peeping eyes glanced uncomfortably at the pretty girl who was in her best years beside her.

However, his mind is not fully opened, and his small thoughts are completely out of step with him.
