Chu Aotian: “?”
Huh?
How did this go?
"Commander-in-Chief Xiao, I have yet to finish what I want to say."
"I'll take my leave."
"etc!"
Xiao Yexing escaped.
How old is Chu Dichi? Does he need him to take care of him in his old age?
Besides, Chu Dichi has always been on the battlefield, he is physically strong and has good qualities in all aspects, but the emperor...
Drinking, having fun, fighting crickets, and sleeping in, he looks like a fat and carefree middle-aged uncle.
It is not certain who will die first.
"Uncle, did I say something wrong?" Chu Aotian watched Xiao Yexing leave the Dacheng Hall. He turned his head suspiciously to look beside him, and found that his uncle had also left.
Huh?
This one and two!
Why did you abandon him?
"Uncle... Governor Xiao... Uncle..."
He wavered from side to side, "Commander Xiao...Uncle Emperor...this, this..."
Finally, he ran out to chase:
"Commander Xiao!"
Outside the hall, the sun remains as bright as ever, and the country lasts forever.
Xiao Yexing stood on a high step, facing a huge and majestic square, with palaces overlapping and undulating, all within his sight. Eight huge dragon-carved columns supported the Dacheng Hall. He stood beside the dragon columns with his hands behind his back, looking back sideways:
"What else does your Majesty want?"
Chu Aotian looked at him like this and walked towards him slower.
The sunlight seemed to cast a layer of golden light on him.
He is tall and cold, born into a military family. The sharpness in his bones cannot be ignored. There is a calm and arrogant look between his brows. He is the same kind of person as Chu Dichi.
He couldn't help but think of the past two years, when Governor Xiao had been by his side through all the ups and downs of the country.
When the emperor's uncle was away, Governor Xiao assisted him in government affairs, protected his safety, and saved him from danger.
"Your Majesty, this is today's memorial."
"emperor……"
"Your Majesty, I am back."
"You must hold on to this throne!"
Chu Aotian walked over step by step, his throat slightly tight, "I... Governor Xiao, I have many concubines."
Xiao Yexing laughed:
"Very good. This is an important way to be a king."
“But I don’t like them at all.”
"Your Majesty doesn't have to like her. You just need to keep her in the harem to consolidate the power of the previous dynasty. Life is long, and you will eventually meet a woman you like in the future."
Chu Aotian stepped forward, "What about you?"
"Once everything is over, I will return to Jiangnan."
"You're leaving?"
Somehow, Chu Aotian's heart tightened. Having experienced a mutiny and life and death, he couldn't tell whether it was the relationship between a monarch and his subject, or a friendship of life and death. Instead, he missed the days when he was still the Prince of Xian and Governor Xiao assisted him day and night.
He breathed heavily:
"Can you...stay in the imperial capital and assist me? I mean, I can't leave you, Commander Xiao."
As if he was afraid of causing misunderstanding, he immediately added:
"I admire your talent and strategy, but I'm afraid it will be lost if you stay in Jiangnan. If you were in the capital, we could often sit together, drink tea, and play chess."
Xiao Yexing turned around and looked at him.
When their eyes met, his dark black eyes were so dark that one could not see the bottom.
Chu Aotian slowly clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves.
Squeeze tighter...
"emperor."
"exist!"
The man laughed and said, "With the Regent here, what can I do? Besides, I am of the same generation as the Regent, so you really don't need to try to get close to me."
"You have lowered my status."
He patted him on the shoulder and left.
Chu Aotian took a half step forward, holding onto the dragon pillar, and looked at the man's free and easy back as he walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back. He was stunned and whispered, "Commander Xiao..."
-
Linhua Palace.
Chu Di came late, and when the eunuch was about to salute, he was waved away.
He pushed the door open very gently, and saw a small bulge on the bed. It was Chu Li who was in a deep sleep.
Even when she fell asleep, her brows were still tightly furrowed, which made Chu Dichi feel very distressed.
Caressing her brows,
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaojiu."
"Um……"
Chu Li turned over unconsciously. In his dream, he entered a quiet and elegant courtyard, watching the poplar leaves flying in the sky and the geese flying south.
"Xiaojiu."
who?
When I turned around, I couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
"Will we always be together?"
Who is it?
She ran forward a few steps, trying to get closer, but suddenly a thick fog rose up, blurring everything. When her vision became clear again, she saw only the young Chu Aotian climbing a tree:
"Ninth brother, are you covered tightly from head to toe? I'm going to stab... ah! A wasp is flying out, run! "
"Ahh! I was stung!"
"Eighth brother, you are wearing open-crotch pants, you will definitely get stung!"
The scene suddenly turned:
"Xiaojiu, stop being so persistent. I want the world and you too."
"This sword is returned to you, but you are mine."
He took a half step back and suddenly fell into an endless abyss. All around him was a mess and blood, and there was an angry roar in his ears:
"You killed Aunt Zhu!"
"Why! "
"Didn't you say you would never betray me? Why?!"
"She's dead!"
"I didn't...it wasn't me..." Chu Li murmured, shaking his head, sweating profusely, "No...no..."
"Xiao Jiu?"
Chu Dichi's expression tightened slightly, and he held her shoulders tightly.
"Xiaojiu, wake up!"
"It wasn't me... It wasn't me!"
Chu Li sat up suddenly and bumped into the man. He was so scared that he struggled subconsciously.
"It's me!"
Chu Dichi hugged her tightly and comforted her softly, "It's me, it's okay, Xiaojiu, you were just dreaming."
Dream?
Is it a dream?
How come she can't remember anything?
Chu Li sat on the bed, breathing heavily, sweat all over her forehead, and the confusion in her eyes made her unable to distinguish between dreams and reality.
Aunt Zhu?
It is the tablet enshrined in the Regent's Palace.
Looking at the man's worried face, a word came to my lips. I wanted to ask, but I didn't dare to open my mouth...
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Chu Dichi patted her back gently.
Chu Li quickly adjusted her mood, "I'm fine, maybe I tied it too tightly these two days..."
"I'll ask the Imperial Hospital to prescribe a prescription to calm the nerves."
"It just so happens that I don't want to sleep anymore. I'll go over there by myself."
"I am with you."
Chu Dichi bent down, picked up the embroidered shoes and put them on her feet, gently lifted them up, took her hand and walked out.
Outside the palace, Chong Feng came over quickly:
"Master, I have a report from below that the Nanman are evacuating towards Ganzhou. The journey is smooth and unobstructed!"
Chu Li raised his eyes, "Ganzhou?"
If I remember correctly, the area to the west seems to be the fiefdom of King Xiaoyao.
If it weren't for the help of treacherous ministers, how could Chu Yeli and Tuoba Mingyue have evacuated so smoothly from the territory of Da Chu?
The court of the Great Chu is filled with chaos and it is time to clean it up!
"Uncle, go ahead and do your work. I'll go get the prescription from the Imperial Hospital and come back."
Chu Dichi rubbed her head:
"Take the prescription, drink the tranquilizer, and go to sleep. You don't have to worry about these trivial matters. Go ahead."
"Um!"
Chu Li lifted her skirt slightly, walked down the stairs and left.
"Xiaojiu."
"Hmm?" She turned around.
Chu Dichi stood on the steps and said, "Before, you promised me that you would discuss marriage with me after everything was over..."
Chu Li smiled and said, "It's my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. I don't count what I say. You should find a way to get my mother to agree!"
Having said that, he trotted away.
Chu Dichi saw it all and smiled deeply, feeling extremely satisfied.
Chong Feng waited on the side, lowered his head slightly and asked, "Master, should we deal with the enemy soldiers now?"
"master?"
"master?"
Chu Dichi raised his thin lips and smiled deeply: "Immediately send someone to pick out 28 excellent gifts from the storehouse, and go to General Xie tomorrow to visit Concubine Wen."
"yes."
"By the way, what did you say just now?"
Chong Feng: “…”
