Chapter 105 Dream
Seeing that he didn't react, Sun Shuo thought to himself that something was wrong.
Generally speaking, it is normal to cry and make a fuss in such a situation. I'm afraid of meeting someone who is silent, which would be tricky.
Sun Shuo touched the arm of Liang Xiuzhu next to him and winked at him: Hurry up and deal with the person you provoked!
Liang Xiuzhu also began to sweat when he received the gaze. He just wanted to cause trouble for Sun Shuo.
I didn't expect this to happen...
"Um...Princess, there is really no other way for the prince to go to war...After all, the battlefield is dangerous. Isn't the prince afraid that you will worry?"
Liang Xiuzhu squatted down and racked his brains to persuade the man with both emotion and reason.
Song Huaixi lowered his dull eyes, obviously very sad. She sniffed and managed to hold back the tears.
Seeing that he finally made some progress, Liang Xiuzhu was extremely happy.
Was about to say something. Song Huaixi interrupted him and said, "I know. Zhao Fangye and I have an appointment. I will wait for him to come back."
After saying that, Song Huaixi walked around in the tent. Looking at the things displayed in the tent, I felt a sense of emptiness in my heart. It was as if a big hole was smashed in my heart.
Touching the chair that Zhao Fangye often sat on and looking at the pen he often used, Song Huaixi felt a sour feeling rising up his nose.
He was clearly by my side yesterday.
Sun Shuo and Liang Xiuzhu felt bad seeing how sad he was. But they didn't dare to comfort him easily, for fear that the more they spoke, the worse it would be.
Sun Shuo felt that he had bad words, while Liang Xiuzhu simply felt guilty.
The two watched in silence as Song Huaixi slowly walked out holding the cloak left by Zhao Fangye.
When Zhao Qionghuan and Song Lianyu rushed over, they happened to see Song Huaixi walking out with a cloak in his arms. He looked sad but he was not crying as heartbreakingly as they had imagined.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Seeing them, Song Huaixi stopped and shouted, "Why are you here?"
Lin Rugui and Song Zigen were both too old to be bothered, and when they heard that they could no longer hide the truth from Song Huaixi, they became extremely anxious and sent them over to comfort Song Huaixi.
The two smiled at each other, walked up to him, one on each side, and said, "Isn't it because I'm worried that you'll be bored staying alone, so I came here to play with you? Let's go to have lunch with our parents."
Song Huaixi was not in high spirits and said sullenly, "I've already used it."
"Well, then go and accompany your parents."
The two of them carried Song Huaixi into Lin Rugui's tent.
The most taboo thing for people when they are sad is to be alone.
Seeing Song Huaixi coming, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention what happened this morning. Lin Rugui sent someone to serve him a bowl of osmanthus yogurt.
Song Huaixi's gray eyes lit up as he looked at the yogurt in front of him.
"Chaolu said you didn't eat much. This is made with milk from the next town. Try it." Lin Rugui handed him the cheese with a smile.
Song Huaixi obediently took the spoon and scooped a spoonful of it into his mouth. The silky and sweet yogurt dispelled some of the bitterness in his heart.
But he still spoke little, with his blunt, round eyes drooping. Everyone knew that he had to digest this emotion on his own without forcing him to do so.
After eating for a while, Song Huaixi looked at Chunhua busying around in the tent and asked, "What is Sister Chunhua doing?"
"Oh." Lin Rugui remembered what he had forgotten to tell him: "Adjutant Sun found a house for us, and we will move there tomorrow morning. I'll ask Chaolu to clean up for you later."
Song Huaixi listened and said nothing. I just feel that ever since Zhao Fangye went to Hanzhou, his family has been moving around all the time.
Zhao Fangye was always leaving too.
He didn't understand the undercurrents in the court, nor did he understand imperial power. He just wanted to be with Zhao Fangye, his parents, his brother and his sister-in-law.
Holding the cloak tightly on his arm, Song Huaixi wondered if nothing would have happened if Zhao Fangye had not been to Hanzhou?
After Song Huaixi returned home in the evening, Lin Rugui and Song Zigen sat on chairs. Song Zigen stroked his beard and said with some satisfaction: "Madam, have you noticed that our Huaixi has grown up?"
"Why do you think so, husband?" Lin Rugui was a little puzzled.
"When I was little, Huaixi would cry loudly whenever I went on a long trip and I couldn't stop her. Now you see, compared to the last time the prince went to Hanzhou, Huaixi has become much more sensible this time."
Song Zigen could see that Song Huaixi had shed his childishness and grown up.
After listening to this, Lin Rugui thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered something: "Yes, the last time Huaixi was kidnapped, she also comforted me. Oh, she is really sensible."
After returning to the tent, Song Huaixi quietly washed up and went to bed, not forgetting to bring Zhao Fangye's cloak to bed.
Chaolu looked at the bed with some worry, and when she saw Song Huaixi lying there obediently without crying, she walked out.
Song Huaixi was lying on the bed, with Zhao Fangye's scent still lingering on the bedding. They were clearly sleeping in each other's arms last night, but today Song Huaixi is the only one left.
He suddenly felt that the usually warm bed had become cold, and he hugged the cloak tightly in his arms as if this was the only way to get some warmth.
In the middle of the night, Chaolu was on guard outside and heard faint sobbing sounds coming from the tent. I hurried in to check.
Song Huaixi was lying on the bed, curled up. With my eyes closed and my brows furrowed, I don’t know what I was dreaming about.
He was crying and mumbling to himself in his sleep.
Chaolu was a little worried. She squatted beside the bed and called softly a few times: "Princess? Princess, wake up..."
She called him several times but he didn't wake up from his dream. Chaolu could only hear him mumbling something intermittently.
"I...promise...um...to come back soon..."
"Safe... Huaixi is obedient..."
When Chaolu heard this, she knew that she was missing the prince. She looked at the tears on Song Huaixi's face, sighed, and wiped them with a handkerchief with heartache.
"Princess, the prince will definitely return victoriously, don't worry." After saying that, she sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted his back, humming an unknown tune.
Just like when she coaxed her little brother who was fleeing with her before, in her eyes Song Huaixi was actually like her own brother.
Seeing how loving he and the prince were, Chaolu was also happy for them.
With the comfort of the morning dew, Song Huaixi's sobbing gradually subsided, her wet eyelashes stopped trembling, and she slowly fell asleep.
After Song Huaixi fell asleep, Chaolu covered him with a quilt and tiptoed out.
Early the next morning, Song Huaixi and his friends followed Sun Shuo in a horse-drawn carriage to a nearby town.
Zhao Fangye had arranged everything the night before he left. Not only did he ask Sun Shuo to find a yard in advance, he also left two teams of his personal soldiers to protect them. He was afraid that Song Huaixi would not eat well, so he even sent people to bring the cook back from the capital.
You have to know that now the two armies are at war, and the passage of people and horses is extremely strict. The inspection is very strict and if you are not careful you will be caught as a spy.
Liang Xiuzhu disguised himself as a cook and sneaked into the army, hoping to go to the capital with Zhao Fangye, but was caught by Sun Shuo.
