An unknown small town.
Under the setting sun, the golden glow of dusk is particularly bright. A rocking chair is placed in the yard, bathing in the afterglow, with a slender figure curled up on it.
Chu Li looked at the golden light in the sky, hooked a pot of wine on his fingertips, raised his head and took another sip.
here……
This is where Bamboo Grandma grew up.
She entered the palace as a maid at the age of thirteen, survived the fall of the previous dynasty, and was assigned to serve Empress Dowager Zhaoren.
When Empress Dowager Zhaoren gave birth to the Regent, she died of hemorrhage. She followed her will and took care of Chu Dichi.
This care lasted for a full twelve years.
When Yu Chudichi was twelve years old, he was killed by the guards in order to protect him.
also……
Died at her hands.
Chu Li took a sip of wine, and stayed quietly in the place where he had grown up, recalling the past.
No wonder the Regent's Palace set up a tablet for Madam.
For Yu Chu Dichi, he lost his parents when he was young and was attacked from all sides. Only Nanny Zhu was the only one who treated him sincerely and protected him.
Such an important person died in her youth and ignorance.
She felt like there was a mouthful of blood choking her chest, which she could neither spit out nor swallow, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"cough……"
When she took a sip of wine, the spiciness made her choke several times and her eyes turned red.
“Ahem! Ahem…”
I coughed violently, my brain was a little short of oxygen, and after a dozen seconds of rest, when I looked up, I saw a familiar figure in my sight...
Imperial uncle?!
No.
Not him.
How could he know her whereabouts?
Could it be that she was drunk and had hallucinations?
The man in her blurred vision walked towards her step by step, getting closer and closer. The unique ebony scent on his body filled her nostrils, making her eyes even more hazy.
"you……"
"Why did you leave me?"
The man bent down, squatted beside the rocking chair, and held her hand, his palm as strong as iron.
"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
Chu Li looked drunk and even more stunned.
I'm really drunk.
I actually dreamed of him being so real.
Be it the voice, appearance, or breath, they are exactly the same as the emperor's uncle.
Maybe because I was drunk, I became bolder and vomited out the childhood shadows and guilt buried in my heart:
"Because... I'm sorry..."
The man looked slightly stunned: "Sorry for me?"
Chu Li was bitter and his voice was hoarse: "Every time I see the tablet enshrined in the Regent Palace's ancestral hall, I will think of the wrong things I did..."
"Uncle, I was the one who killed the most important person to you. I was the one who killed Nanny Zhu."
"Back then, it was Chu Yeli who told me that as long as you could be crowned king, you could stay in the imperial capital. I went to ask my father with joy, but I didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly...
Thinking of this, her voice became more choked up, and she gradually stopped crying.
"I'm so stupid, I'm so foolish..."
He covered his face with his hands and cried:
"I always thought it was you who let me down, that you wanted to kill me, but you lost a part of your memory. It turns out that it was me who let you down all along, it was me..."
"Xiaojiu."
The man hugged her, held her little head in his big hands, pressed it hard into his arms, and sighed deeply.
"My silly little nine."
I see.
Such a big worry is contained in such a small body.
"Back then, you were only five years old and did not understand the cruelty of the struggle for imperial power. Although I blamed you and hated you at the time, after spending so many days together, I no longer care about the past."
All this started because of Chu Yeli.
He has already beaten the man up.
"It was me who killed her, and caused you to wander around in the South Barbarians for so many years."
"It's not your fault."
The man held her face and said seriously:
"My identity has destined me to be displaced throughout my life. Even without you, there would be people who would target me and murder me. On the contrary, you are the only light on my bumpy journey."
Want to get closer to her.
Want to love her.
I want to be with her, year after year.
"If it was only because of Aunt Zhu's matter that caused you to leave without saying goodbye, then I solemnly tell you now that I have forgiven you. But if you still cling to the past, that would be hard to forgive."
Chu Dichi said in a deep voice:
"From now on, you are not allowed to leave again!"
Chu Li looked at him with tearful eyes, and her voice was raised, so fierce.
The emperor’s uncle in the dream was so fierce.
"I don't want that either, uncle. I've liked you since we were little, but then... then you left and I lost my memory. We should have been fine..."
"It's all their fault, Xiaojiu. It's the cruel imperial power, the unpredictable human heart, and the treacherous world that tore us apart."
Chu Dichi lowered his head, pressed his forehead against hers, and said solemnly:
"Now, we have finally seen the moon through the clouds, with the imperial power in hand and the obstacles cleared, and we can finally be together."
"Time is short, don't dwell on the past, cherish the present and live a good future, that's what you should do."
Patiently, word by word, he guided Chu Li.
Chu Li felt sour and bitter, regretful and ashamed, with all kinds of complicated thoughts in his mind.
Finally, she fell into the man's gentle dark eyes, threw herself into his arms, and lost her voice:
"Uncle, have you really forgiven me?"
"real."
"You said, you promised."
The man laughed and rubbed her head. "You are almost twenty years old, why are you still like a child?"
"Just tell me."
"Okay, okay, I promise, I swear, now you can trust me?"
“Ouch—”
Drunkness filled my entire head. Even if it was a dream, it was a beautiful dream that I didn't want to wake up from.
Worth it.
Let her hold him, quietly enjoy this moment, and never wake up again.
-
It is unrealistic not to wake up, especially when you regain consciousness after being drunk. The dizzy and exploding pain in your head is almost killing you.
"ah……"
Chu Li held his head and turned over subconsciously. His head felt like it was struck by lightning and there were waves of pain.
It hurts so much!
If I had known I wouldn't have drunk so much.
“Hmm…”
"Hurry up and lie down!"
A low, rebuking voice pierced his eardrums. Chu Li raised his head suddenly, opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and remained stiff in this position, even forgetting about his headache.
he……
He he...
"Why are you here?!"
Imperial uncle!
The man held a bowl of hangover soup and said in a deep voice: "This is the Regent Palace, our home. If I'm not here, where else can I be?"
"ah?"
Regent's Palace!
Chu Li held his head in his hands, and then he noticed that he was in the familiar main courtyard room.
She's back! ?
Why is she back?
Isn't she in Qingshui Town?
Chu Dichi looked at the expression on her face, which was sometimes shocked, sometimes surprised, and sometimes puzzled. It was as exciting as watching a flower in a hurry. He pinched her chubby cheek and said in a sinister voice:
"If you dare to leave without saying goodbye and run around again, I will break Chu Aotian's legs!"
