Chapter 2004 [Shangxie] Until I Met You
"I haven't seen the sunrise over Mount Taixu again, haven't tasted the fine wine of Luoyang City again, and haven't visited the Lantern Festival in Feihua City again." Chang Sun Chi drank the tea in his hand like drinking wine.
"So I was critically ill, so I summoned all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital, and then took the risk of using assassins to pretend to be me and lie in bed, and then I secretly left the palace."
"Being able to freely watch the sun rise and set again should have been the greatest reward of my escape this time, until I met you."
Chang Sun Chi turned around and gently tapped Xia Fuyi's teacup with the one in his hand, making a crisp sound.
He smiled slightly, carefree and gentle, as if Li Yudi, whose back was only glimpsed in legends, had come back to life, as if peach blossoms startled the spring breeze, and any casual glance would reveal his stunning beauty.
Xia Fuyi stared at him blankly, swallowed unconsciously, and pricked up her ears to listen to what was going on, but she didn't expect the emperor to shut up and just drink tea without saying anything.
For the first time, Miss Xia sighed anxiously in her heart.
What does "until I met you" mean? Does it mean I'm better than the scenery? Or does it mean I'm a real eyesore? Why didn't you finish? Why? Why?
Miss Xia has been a quiet person since she was a child. Not only is she not good at speaking, but she is also not good at speaking in her heart. She has a small vocabulary, so in the end she can only ask herself why over and over again in her mind, which makes her look even more listless and dull.
It was not known whether the emperor saw it or not, but he fell into a long silence.
The air in the side hall was silent for a long time before Xia Fuyi regained her spirits and struggled to grasp some of the key points from the long story.
"What is this illness? Why did the imperial physician say you only have three years left? Can this illness be cured?"
Chang Sun Chi paused while drinking his tea. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Miss Xia's serious expression. He smiled slowly and said lightly, avoiding the main point.
"It's just an old illness left over from the battlefield. In fact, it's been there for more than three years. I only found out after I came back that the imperial physician was a novice and his talk was complete nonsense."
Xia Fuyi: ...
[Why do I feel like... you're the one talking nonsense?]
Even though she thought so in her heart, Miss Xia still didn't dare to show it.
She hesitated for a moment, then continued to focus on the key points seriously.
"Since you initially intended to die, and finally escaped from the palace, why did you choose to come back in the end?"
The smile on Chang Sun Chi's lips faded, then rose again after a moment. He lowered his eyes and continued to be nonchalant.
"Because I remembered there are some things I haven't done yet."
…
The sunlight gradually shifted, and the window panes in the side hall could no longer retain the sunlight, leaving only a slightly cool and damp breeze.
The two continued with the question-and-answer pattern until Changsun Chi started coughing incessantly. Xia Fuyi finally unilaterally stopped the conversation. She solemnly and weakly ordered the emperor to return to his bedroom to rest. The emperor agreed reluctantly.
Lian Tang, who had been unable to stand outside for a long time, hurriedly ordered people to burn charcoal in the bedroom and helped Changsun Chi back to the bedroom.
Xia Fuyi didn't walk out of the side hall until the thin figure in the red cloak disappeared from her sight. Only a few faint traces of sunset glow remained in the sky. She looked over there and suddenly said,
"He lied, didn't he?"
The air was very quiet. After a long time, there was a sudden sound of wind on the roof. The little eunuch Aze hung upside down from the roof, staggering and holding his head while watching the sunset with her.
"Which ones do you mean?"
