Chapter 2052 [Shangxie]
However, it was only for a moment, and the emperor quickly returned to normal.
He turned a page of the book, lowered his head, and spoke in a light tone.
"No need to prepare."
Qingze was startled.
"You mean?"
"I'm not going."
There was silence in the room for a long time. Lian Tang frowned and wanted to ask something, but Qingze beside him pressed him back calmly.
Qingze leaned over and whispered,
"I understand."
They left the imperial study.
In the crack of the slowly closing door, the page of the military book under the emperor's command had not been turned for a long time.
·
After leaving the imperial study, Lian Tang finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Why are you suddenly not going? When the Emperor first knew that Jin Liang would issue a declaration of war, he ordered us to prepare the imperial shrine. He has been asking about our progress intentionally or unintentionally for a long time, which shows that he still attaches great importance to this wedding. When he gave us the order, the Emperor clearly..."
At this point, Lian Tang suddenly choked up.
He lowered his head and said nothing, but the scene couldn't help but reappear in his mind.
It was when he just learned that the envoy Jin Liang had died in Yan Gui City that the emperor foresaw everything that would happen later.
Still in the imperial study, on an ordinary evening, he was reviewing memorials when he called them over and said that he wanted to marry Xia Fuyi before going to the war.
"I don't need court officials or the people to kowtow to me. It's enough for me to face my father, the emperor, and my mother in the imperial shrine. Go and make the arrangements, and don't make them too shabby."
The emperor stopped writing, and thought of something. His eyes fell into the void, and he suddenly chuckled.
"It's too late for the coronation ceremony. If I can still make it back alive, I can hold it again. If not, then we can still be considered husband and wife."
The setting sun that day fell on his shoulders like golden fragments, and even his eyebrows and eyes were filled with a hint of flying smile.
It was precisely because he was deeply impressed by that scene that Lian Tang became increasingly unable to understand the emperor's decision today.
Qingze was silent for a long time, and suddenly he exhaled a long breath, his voice full of depression, and his answer was simple and rough.
“It’s very simple.”
"If the Emperor survives to return, this wedding will be a beautiful memory, but if he..."
His voice hitched, and he opened his mouth several times but could only skip over the word with difficulty. Each syllable became dim.
"If he doesn't come back, this wedding will become a lifelong shackle for Xia Fuyi."
Lian Tang was stunned.
He didn't expect that there was such a self-contradiction hidden in these two completely opposite orders, and he didn't know what kind of struggle the emperor had gone through before finally choosing to give up.
There was a rustling sound of grass leaves not far away. They looked over and saw Xia Fuyi practicing sword. Perhaps because she didn't eat candied fruit yesterday, she seemed to be in better spirits today. However, judging from the fluency of her moves, there was still a big problem.
But even so, her every move still revealed her violent temper. Even though her moves were not smooth, her surging internal energy was unwavering in destroying everything around her.
Both of them fully understood the reason for her irritability.
Lian Tang watched from afar, and finally murmured,
"I don't know who is more miserable between the Emperor and Miss Fuyi."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard by Qingze.
"How dare you comment on the master's affairs without authorization? I think you are courting death."
Lian Tang quickly ran away with his head in his hands. Qingze did not chase him. He stopped and looked at Xia Fuyi for a long time before turning around and leaving.
