Chapter 224 Please, Don't Leave Me (13.5w Nutrient Solution Plus)

Jian Yue turned around in surprise and joy, and happened to meet the face of the person next to him. Huangfu Chengyu was wearing a black crane-colored brocade robe, and he looked very handsome and heroic. Jian Yue had seen his eyes and eyebrows many times in his dreams, but now that he appeared in front of him like this, he did not feel strange at all.

He looked back, but just looked at him quietly without saying anything.

Huangfu Chengyu was waiting for him to speak, but he saw Jian Yue just looking at him. He was a little flustered. He stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jian Yue still didn't speak.

Huangfu Chengyu was really panicked now. The cold wind blew, and snowflakes fell on people's shoulders, fell, and melted again. The wind around was cold and chilly.

Jian Yue's fair face was turned red by the ice, and the circles around his eyes were also stained a little red.

Huangfu Chengyu raised his hand, and his rough fingertips brushed his face. His voice was low and trembling, "Why are you crying? Don't cry. I am sorry for you. I admit it even if you blame me..."

Jian Yue looked at Huangfu Chengyu and said, "I don't blame you. I'm just worried that something happened to you, that you encountered some unsolvable difficulties by yourself, and I'm afraid you won't be able to come back."

Huangfu Chengyu said: "After I successfully survived the tribulation, I was very weak and could not recover my human form, so I returned to the underground palace to recuperate. Originally, it would take me hundreds of years to recover, but thanks to you opening the underground river, I recovered after three years in the underground river. As soon as I came back, I hurried to find you."

Jian Yue asked why the gate of the dark river was suddenly closed and the boat disappeared. It turned out that it was because Huangfu Chengyu was inside!

But this is no longer his main concern at the moment.

Jian Yue asked: "Will you leave again?"

Huangfu Chengyu shook his head. He looked at Jian Yue and said, "How can I bear to leave? My only wish in this life is to stay with you. Besides, if I leave again, wouldn't someone think I'm a liar who doesn't keep his word?"

Jian Yue choked and met Huangfu Chengyu's smiling eyes. He felt inexplicably embarrassed. Who would understand? He only mentioned the person once, but he was caught red-handed!

"You can't blame me for that." Jian Yue tried to argue, "Who told you to leave for so many years? If I stayed here alone, you wouldn't know whether you would live or die. You know that according to Daqian's laws, I can remarry, but you..."

Before he could finish his words, someone blocked his lips and teeth with a strong kiss. Their lips and teeth were pressed against each other, and their breath blended together. Huangfu Chengyu's kiss was gentle and strong, yet contained some gentle tenderness. Jian Yue was not released until he was really out of breath.

Jian Yue's lips were already a little red and swollen. When he raised his eyes, he met the deep and gloomy brows of the person in front of him.

Huangfu Chengyu stood in front of him, snowflakes fell on the two of them. The man held his shoulders tightly, and as their breaths intertwined, he said, "Don't remarry, don't leave me. If you get together with someone else, I will get you back even if I become a ghost!"

Jian Yue was stunned at first, and then he laughed at his strong and somewhat childish words. However, when he raised his eyes, he met Huangfu Chengyu's deep eyes again. The man looked at him with hidden longing and stubbornness in his eyes.

Snowflakes fell on their shoulders. Not far away, there were bright lights. Jian Yue smiled gently. He stood on tiptoe and kissed Huangfu Chengyu gently on the forehead. His body was warm and had a faint bamboo fragrance. Huangfu Chengyu could only hear his gentle voice falling into his ears: "No one else, Xiaoyu, I only love you."

It was like this before and it is like this now. It has never changed.

The snow fell heavily, and the two figures were silent between heaven and earth. Not far away, the sound of New Year's drums could be heard. To celebrate the new year, the world was at peace, with singing and dancing.

The Emperor of Daqian recovered from his illness and returned to the court.

The people of the entire Qian Dynasty were in a stable mood. The King of Chu was the biggest victim in the whole incident. After seeing Huangfu Chengyu coming back, he was so happy that he almost cried. He said, "If you don't come back, people will say that I am plotting to usurp the throne. God knows, I don't have the time for that. My son is very naughty. My wife almost forgets me because she is busy with business every day. You should take back the government as soon as possible!"

Huangfu Chengyu said: "It doesn't matter whether I am the emperor or not. I didn't intend to show up in this capacity, but I couldn't bear to see Madam tired, so I came back."

King Chu: “…”

It seems like you still have to consider your wife's face!!!

The 29th year of Qianli.

Emperor Qian accepted the Anguo envoys and formally signed a document of mutual benefit between the two countries. He promoted Liu Yun from the Hanlin Academy to the position of chief minister, promoted Liu Kun to the position of Zhenyuan General of the Xue Family Army, and promoted a new group of ministers.

Spring of the 30th year of Qianli

Emperor Qian pardoned the concubines in the harem and held a grand ceremony to crown the empress. It was an unprecedented emperor and empress, but no one in the court dared to object. The people, on the other hand, all agreed with it. During the years when the King of Chu was regent, the people saw and remembered who was the real person in control of the government and who had brought about a better life for the people of the two countries.

Winter of the 40th year of Qianli

It's a new year again. During the past ten years, the two countries have developed rapidly. The water conservancy project built by Gao Fei and Xiao Lizi has been completed. A long river spans a long distance, bringing water to the country in the desert. The Qian Kingdom no longer has to worry about floods. With the help of the Prime Minister, the entire country has introduced many new policies, and the customs of the people have become more open. The country has officially entered the heyday of Daqian, and its prosperity is immeasurable.

During the New Year.

Jian Yue spent another year at the border. He would often go to the temple with Huangfu Chengyu to worship their ancestors. Neither of them had forgotten the Teng Snake clan, or rather, no one had forgotten them.

The dinner was lively and bustling.

Concubine Liu is now a wealthy woman. She and the King of Chu have a son and a daughter, both of whom are very cute and pretty. While they were having dinner, the scholar not far away was still looking for his reckless brother who was pulling his soldiers to do stupid things again. Gao Fei and Xiao Lizi were trying to stop them, saying, "Brother Liu, calm down. Forget it, Brother Liu!"

Before they knew it, they had lived in this world for more than twenty years.

And those strange monsters haven't appeared for a long time.

Jian Yue said: "When I went down to worship just now, I found that the door was still closed."

Lady Liu nodded and said, "The gate can only be reopened when the altar is restarted. Although we all know how to leave, no one wants to do it."

Gao Fei came over with a drink and said, "Hey, life doesn't matter where you live. Besides, my life is worth it to be able to get together with you guys who have been friends for life."

Little Leo also sat down in front of the bonfire and said: "No matter what happens after the door is opened, we still have a chance to survive. I just hope that our friendship will last forever!"

Everyone smiled and raised their glasses: "Friendship lasts forever!"

Winter of the 80th year of Qianli

Jian Yue's hair has turned gray, with white hair on his temples, while Huangfu Chengyu looks as young as ever.

More than 20 years ago, Huangfu Chengyu passed the throne to the son of King Chu, and then took Jian Yue to travel around. Over the years, Jian Yue saw many beautiful mountains and rivers, and also met many old friends. They went to Wushan together, returned to Bailu Temple together, and even met Concubine Liu and King Chu who were also traveling.

The King of Chu and Concubine Liu had long since left everything unattended and gone off to play.

Time passes quickly in everyone's life, and everyone is getting older. The past is slowly fading away like a big dream, and looking back is even more like a dream.

It's the New Year again.

The altar in the desert is particularly lively.

The young soldiers were singing and dancing, and near the altar, Jian Yue met a group of elderly friends. He still had white hair, and although Concubine Liu was still in good health, she also had wrinkles and white hair. Gao Fei and Xiao Lizi were not in good health either, but they were still drinking happily.

The scholar was in poor health and was hanging on for his last breath.

The younger brother has also changed from his previous carefree attitude. He has become much more mature as he gets older, but he always stays by his brother's side.

Everyone was having fun.

Jian Yue watched them playing and laughed too. Snowflakes were falling from the sky. He coughed lightly, and some blood turned into water in the cup. He was actually very old. All these years he had been relying on various medicines and Huangfu Chengyu to try every possible means to stay alive. Especially in the past two years, he had become much weaker.

Huangfu Chengyu took the wine glass from his hand. The veins on the man's hand were throbbing as he held the glass, but he said calmly, "If you can't drink, don't drink."

Jian Yue smiled gently, leaned on his shoulder and said, "I'm happy."

He was naturally happy as he hadn't met his old friend for a long time.

Huangfu Chengyu said: "Are you tired? I'll take you to rest."

Maybe people often have premonitions.

Jian Yue leaned on his shoulder, looked at the lively crowd not far away, and said softly: "Xiaoyu, don't cry."

Tears fell from the void and landed on the back of Jian Yue's hand that was placed on Huangfu Chengyu's knee. The empire, which was murderous and cruel, and had experienced countless coups and setbacks in its youth, shed tears.

Huangfu Chengyu slowly held Jian Yue's hand. His voice was low, and there was a surge of suppressed emotions underneath. His palms were even trembling a little: "Are you tired?"

Jian Yue said softly: "A little bit."

"Can you hold on a little longer?" Huangfu Chengyu said, "Promise me you'll stay with me a little longer, okay? I don't want you to leave."

His voice was pleading.

In front of Jian Yue, the emperor who had been proud all his life lowered his noble head and hugged the person in his arms: "Please, don't leave me..."

The hot tears fell on Jian Yue's clothes.

Jian Yue gently raised her hand and wiped the tears from his face. Snowflakes fell on Huangfu Chengyu's hair, making it seem as if he was covered with a layer of white hair. The two of them were like two little old men with white hair. Jian Yue knew that his life had come to an end and it was impossible for him to stay any longer, but Huangfu Chengyu was unwilling to let go. He knew that birth, aging, sickness and death were the destiny of the world and anyone who wanted to change their fate would need to pay a huge price.

He saw stubbornness and paranoia in Huangfu Chengyu's eyes.

Jian Yue originally wanted to persuade him, but after meeting his eyes, he paused, and finally chuckled. He wiped away his tears with his fingers and said softly, "Speak."

Winter New Year of the 80th Year of the Qianli Calendar

The soldiers who spent the winter at the altar said that when they were drowsy, they seemed to hear the dragon's roar in the sky and the light of the altar.

Later.

When they saw the late emperor and the empress again, the late emperor no longer wore a hat, revealing his graying hair like the empress's. But they all said that although he looked old and had gray hair, the late emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and unlike his serious and cold appearance when he was young, he always had a smile on his face.

The Queen always joked, "Your Majesty is still so handsome even when he is old."

The late emperor said, "The queen is still as charming as ever."

The Queen said, "Your Majesty, could it be that when I was looking for herbs to treat your illness, you promoted me to be the chief eunuch because you saw my handsomeness? Tell me the truth and tell me when you had this idea?"

"It doesn't take that long." The late emperor said, "I fell in love with you the first time I saw you in the Imperial Garden."
