Chapter 2278 [Shangxie] All he wants is freedom
Xia Fuyi supported herself on the table and slowly stood up, staring at the two people with slightly red eyes.
"You said you've been detoxified and your martial arts skills have been restored, but you were all lying, weren't you?"
Both of them lowered their heads and said nothing, but the ground in front of Lian Tang was wetted by his tears bit by bit.
Xia Fuyi looked at them for a long time, and after a while she calmly asked,
"How did he recover his martial arts skills?"
Lian Tang and Qingze looked at each other and finally told the truth.
"The medicine Zhan Luoying gave us can suppress the toxicity of Huangliang Yimeng and even restore Your Majesty's martial arts to its peak. However, it is also another kind of poison, and it has overdrawn all of your vitality..."
Xia Fuyi tilted her head unconsciously and interrupted,
"What medicine?"
Qingze paused slightly and said,
"Jade produces fragrance."
Xia Fuyi opened her eyes wide and murmured,
"The fragrance of jade..."
She slowly looked at Chang Sun Chi, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face pale.
"Why did he have to go to war even after all this? Is a victory more important than his life?"
Qingze lowered his eyes and whispered after a moment,
"Freedom is more important than life."
His voice was slow and low, not particularly sad, but with a kind of silence that made one feel as if one's heart was dead.
"Your Majesty has been trapped in the palace for so many years, all he ever wanted was to die outside the cage and see the world again. If he could win another victory on the battlefield and drive out the foreign enemies, His Majesty would be very satisfied."
Xia Fuyi was stunned, and Chang Sun Chi's last words today appeared in her mind again.
He has fulfilled many of his wishes.
Fulfilled...many...wishes.
When you first meet him, he is a gentle yet aloof young man wearing a mask; when you meet him again, he is an aloof, evil and lonely emperor; there is a general who is said to be very famous; and there is a young master who is unrestrained and romantic in the world... With so many prestigious identities, it turns out that there are only such small wishes?
What's satisfying...
Xia Fuyi slowly walked to the bedside, leaned over to look at the pale face, and murmured,
"What... do you find satisfying?"
You haven't seen more scenery, haven't drunk the wine I brewed, haven't won more battles, you still have so many things to do, so many legends to write... How can you say you are satisfied?
Xia Fuyi's fingers pressing on the edge of the bed gradually exerted force until the joints turned white and the finger bones bulged.
After a long time, she suddenly stood up, took Long Yuan and turned to leave. Qingze was the first to react and stopped her in front of the tent.
"My lady, what do you want to do?"
Xia Fuyi looked at him expressionlessly and said,
"Get the antidote."
Lian Tang stared at the side with his eyes wide open, Qingze frowned slightly and said,
"You can't leave the army now."
"Why not?"
"If His Majesty is unconscious, we can still pretend he's injured to fool everyone, but if you disappear at this moment, everyone will definitely notice something is wrong."
Qingze continued,
"The enemy hasn't retreated yet, and the envoys from both sides haven't negotiated yet. We won't be able to withdraw camp and return to the city for at least two days. Besides..."
He choked and cleared his throat before continuing.
"Besides, Piaomiao Mountain is a thousand miles away from here. Even if you start traveling now, it's still too late. Even if there's still time, we went to the Sword Tomb of Piaomiao Mountain and hundreds of Xuanyi Guards couldn't get through. It's even more impossible for you to get through alone."
Qingze was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said,
"Your Majesty, please stay with His Majesty."
He whispered,
"I think your majesty would wish the same from you."
