"If Aze wants, I can have the Xu Mansion cleaned up immediately, and Aze can move back to live in the future." Long Musi felt a pain in his heart when he saw Xu Tianze staring at the deserted Xu Mansion in a daze.
He had always been paying attention to Xu Tianze. At that time, he could often visit the Xu Mansion at Xu Tianze's invitation. Naturally, he knew how carefree Xu Tianze was when the Xu Mansion was still there.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Xu Mansion is not only the memory of Xu Tianze, but also the memory of Long Musi. However, the deserted mansion is now devoid of its former prosperity, as if the things that happened in childhood were just a dream.
"The mansion has been repaired, but the people are gone. Even if they were still here, they can never go back to the way they were before." There was a hint of emotion in Xu Tianze's tone, and he was also pointing at Long Muse.
Long Musi was silent for a while, because Xu Tianze was talking about not only the Xu Mansion, but also not only the two of them. Everything had already happened, and there would be no chance to make amends, because although the people were the same, their state of mind was no longer the same as before.
Xu Tianze strolled slowly in the deserted Xu Mansion. Every step forward left a footprint in the snow, but it was soon covered by the wind and snow.
"Mother, my second brother stole my Qinghe cake again."
"Hey, little brother, why are you so stingy? I just ate a few pieces of your Qinghe cakes."
"What book do you want to read, Xiaoze? Big brother will get it for you."
"I'm going to be an uncle in the future, so I have to take good care of this little guy for my sister-in-law."
"Father, this is what Ze'er saw on the street today. He thought it suited you very well."
"Hahaha, my son is naturally extremely outstanding."
"Master, Qingyuan brought you some cakes. Eat them quickly, or the master will find out soon."
"Brother Tianze, this is Xue'er's thank you gift."
Xu Tianze clearly didn't see anyone, but the smiles of those people kept appearing in his mind, and their voices rang in his ears one after another.
Finally, Xu Tianze stood in his yard, looking at the tall osmanthus tree in the yard. He leaned his head gently against the trunk, and told his thoughts as he often did when he was young.
But when he was young, Xu Tianze confided to his big tree friend that he couldn't eat more than one piece of cake, and today he was troubled by being stared at by his father while writing. Now Xu Tianze leaned against the tree trunk, and said goodbye in his heart for a long time.
Long Musi stood quietly at the gate of the yard, looking at the young man who leaned his forehead against the tree trunk. At this moment, time and space seemed to fold, and the small figure overlapped with the figure in front of him, achieving resonance and also evoked Long Musi's memories.
"Aze, why are you leaning against the tree? Are you tired?"
"Shh, I'm talking to my friend." Young Xu Tianze waved back, signaling not to disturb him.
"Strange." The young Long Musi muttered, then walked to Xu Tianze and imitated Xu Tianze, putting his forehead against the tree trunk.
The moment I closed my eyes, the noise around me seemed to stop. In the quiet darkness, there was the rustling of the breeze through the leaves, the symphony of cicadas, the chirping of birds, and... the gentle breathing of the people around me.
At that moment, Long Musi seemed to have fallen in love with the quiet darkness and understood Xu Tianze's friend.
A breeze blew again, blowing away the coolness of that summer, traveling through time and space to bring the wind and snow of today, blurring the deserted Xu Mansion.
"The wind is picking up, it's time to go into the palace."
When Long Musi came to his senses, Xu Tianze had already passed him by. He left with only this sentence and went away.
Long Musi looked at Xu Tianze's back, then looked at the isolated osmanthus tree in the yard, then smiled and turned around to chase after Xu Tianze.
He thought that he probably knew what choice he should make, and he also understood his own heart and what he really wanted.
When Xu Tianze and Long Musi arrived at the palace gate, they saw that the entire imperial guards were standing around the palace wall, and the prince had also stood in front of the palace gate early, staring inside.
Monkey, holding a weapon and wearing chain mail, stood quietly at the palace gate, waiting for everyone to arrive.
"I didn't expect that my royal brother would arrive early." After getting off the carriage, Long Musi was about to help Xu Tianze, but suddenly he withdrew his hand and turned to greet the prince.
Xu Tianze didn't care about Long Musi's actions. He jumped off the carriage and stood at the palace gate without even looking at anyone else.
"I didn't expect that my royal brother and Brother Xu would come together." The prince also greeted them with a smile, but his words were full of sharp criticism.
"Instead of wasting time here, you should think about which of you two can leave here alive. Otherwise, you will both be buried with me." Xu Tianze glanced at the two of them and took the lead to walk forward.
"Xiao Ze..." Monkie looked at Xu Tianze and wanted to say something, but when he saw Xu Tianze's expression as if he didn't care about life and death, he didn't know what to say.
Helplessly, Monk could only move aside and signal Xu Tianze and others to enter the palace.
When the Crown Prince and Long Muse saw Xu Tianze's murderous look, they looked at each other, somewhat confused, because they both knew that no matter who survived, they would not kill Xu Tianze in the end, but would instead reuse him.
Long Musi had a hidden thought in his heart. He wanted power but also didn't want to lose Xu Tianze.
The prince is the easiest one, because Xu Tianze is very capable. If he comes to power, the unification of the Three Kingdoms will be inseparable from a capable person like Xu Tianze.
They believed that Xu Tianze should also understand this truth, but Xu Tianze still said that he would die in the imperial palace in Shangjing City, which made them a little surprised and a little solemn.
Come to think of it, Xu Tianze must know something that none of them know, so he said that. For a moment, the prince and Long Musi were secretly on guard, and at the same time counted their own arrangements carefully to avoid any mistakes, so as to avoid a complete loss in the end.
Imperial Palace, Jingxuan Hall
"I don't want to, but in the end it will be my father-in-law who will accompany me on this journey." Long Qingyi took off all her bright yellow clothes, and a simple red dress also showed her unique beauty.
"Your Majesty, I am wrong to claim this." Quan De bowed to Long Qingyi, his face respectful but his eyes sad.
Long Qingyi and Gan Di have been friends since childhood and were born from the same womb. He is Gan Di's best friend. To be fair, he can be said to have grown up with Long Qingyi.
Such a lively person, in the end, slowly lost all her spirit. Even if Quan De had a heart of stone, he would lament Long Qingyi's misery in his heart.
"I never wanted to be an empress, nor do I have any big ambitions. Today, I still want to be the eldest princess Long Qingyi, not the empress Long Qingyi." Long Qingyi smiled and helped Quan De up, her tone full of relief.
