Chapter 245 Before leaving, I want to see you
Yun Zhao was stunned for a long time.
After a long time, I was so angry that I laughed.
"What did you say?!" Yun Zhao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Are you saying that you planned my going to the military camp?!"
Xie Jingmo's eyes were blurry from drinking. He nodded, "Of course, otherwise your old man would have been past the age of enlistment. I had his age changed in the classics. I've heard that the eldest daughter of the Yun family is the most filial. I know you wouldn't have the heart to let your father go into the army and suffer."
Xie Jingmo sighed, "Sure enough, I saw you in the team entering the camp."
Yun Zhao almost laughed out loud.
"Then do you know that my father was filled with guilt because of my enlistment? After I left, he lay on his bed for two years?"
Xie Jingmo was stunned.
"Do you know that because I joined the army, my father became seriously ill, forcing my mother to go out to take care of the family and earn money for medical treatment, and her skilled embroidery hands were now covered with cracks from farming?!"
Xie Jingmo was stunned again.
Yun Zhao drew his sword and pointed it at Xie Jingmo's vital point. "You only know your own desires, but you don't know that in a poor family, a single hardship can destroy an entire family! Xie Jingmo, I'm going to kill you today!"
After saying that, Yun Zhao raised his sword.
Xie Jingmo closed his eyes.
The sharp blade was pointing downwards, and Fu Hai only heard a shout: "No!" Yun Zhao's sword was caught by Fu Hai's hand.
Blood fell.
Yun Zhao's face was full of hatred.
Fu Hai's voice trembled, "Empress Dowager, the political situation is not stable right now. If you kill someone in the palace, the former court will definitely be dissatisfied in the future and will surely take action against you. Think twice!"
Fu Hai looked at Yun Zhao, word by word.
Yun Zhao was filled with hatred.
She hated Xie Jingmo so much for destroying her family!
"The long sword passed by his heart and chest. Yun Zhao said coldly, "Get out!"
Xie Jingmo sobered up from all his drunkenness.
He stared at Yun Zhao blankly, his mouth full of bitterness, and whispered, "I'm sorry."
This time, I just couldn't bring myself to say that I would make it up to you in the future.
Because, no matter what, he could not compensate Yun Zhao's parents.
That day, Xie Jingmo returned home injured and was in a coma for five days. When he woke up, the first thing he said was, "Has the Queen Mother come to see me?"
The people in the mansion shook their heads.
"Did you ever ask anyone to ask me?"
The people in the mansion shook their heads again.
Xie Jingmo's anxious eyes dimmed little by little.
That day, he was seriously injured. If the sword had been off by even a fraction, it would have been fatal.
Yun Zhao didn't even blink. If it weren't for the previous dynasty, she would definitely kill him!
Xie Jingmo felt a chill in his heart.
He looked out the window at the lotus leaf outside and whispered:
"She'll never forgive me again."
Xie Jingmo sat in the house for two days.
Two days later, he asked someone to find Deputy General Gao.
"Tell her that I know she is fed up with me. I will go to guard the northwest for her. In this life, I will never return to the capital without an imperial decree." Xie Jingmo was disheartened.
Deputy General Gao sighed, "Why are you doing this?"
"The northwest is desolate, even more so than the frontier. Besides, you're right in front of us, and we'll have a chance eventually. Why bother?"
Xie Jingmo shook his head. "I used to think that as long as I was by her side, she would eventually remember the good times we had and the days we spent together. But when that knife stabbed me, I seemed to understand everything."
"There's no going back."
"She has let it go a long time ago, but I am still obsessed with it."
"If I were still in Kyoto, I know my personality and I would definitely not be able to let go. In this case, why not go to the southwest? It will relieve her of a big worry and make up for it a little."
Deputy General Gao wanted to persuade him.
Xie Jingmo raised his hand, "I've made up my mind, you go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Gao sighed deeply, "Alright, I'll go talk to Yun Zhao then."
Xie Jingmo nodded.
Deputy General Gao left. Before leaving, he looked at the wound on Xie Jingmo's chest, which was still bleeding.
A few days later.
The imperial edict has come down.
According to Xie Jingmo's words, the sentence "Without an imperial edict, you are not allowed to enter the capital" is particularly clear.
Xie Jingmo accepted the order with a pale face.
These days, he always hoped that Yun Zhao would still have some tenderness towards him and perhaps would not let him leave.
However, I didn't expect that the imperial edict would come so quickly.
It was as if he was afraid that if he left too late, he would regret it.
Xie Jingmo accepted the order with a pale face. He stood up and asked Fu Hai, "Is she okay?"
Fu Hai was silent for a moment. "You look good on the outside, but you're still sad inside. But it's okay. No matter how deep the wound is, it will heal one day. General, have a safe journey. I wish you all the best and may all your dreams come true."
Xie Jingmo paused for a moment.
Although I know it is impossible, I still don't give up.
Asked, "Does she... have anything to tell me?"
Fu Hai held the dustpan in his hand and said softly, "The Queen Mother's words are all in the imperial edict."
Xie Jingmo's face turned even paler.
Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, father-in-law. I'll trouble you to take care of her in the future."
Fu Hai said "yes" and was about to leave.
Xie Jingmo hurried back to the room and took out a box. The box was exquisite and when he opened it, there was a jade hairpin.
"Give this to her. When I first saw her, she was so full of energy and I felt it suited her. I've carried it with me all these years, but I've never had the chance to give it away. Now that I'm leaving, I only ask that she stay by my side as a thought."
Fu Hai glanced down.
Received it.
He brushed himself off and turned away.
Xie Jingmo stood at the door and watched Fu Hai go away.
He hoped that this jade hairpin could replace him and stay with her.
The weather was fine on the day Xie Jingmo left.
Everyone came to see him off.
Xie Jingmo looked up and around.
Deputy General Gao said, "Don't look, he's not here."
Xie Jingmo lowered his head in disappointment, "She...isn't even willing to see me off?"
"I will not come to the capital unless summoned in this lifetime. In the future, there may be no chance for us to see each other again. Does she hate me to this extent?"
Deputy General Gao sighed, "I don't know how you guys got to this point, but since it's already like this, let it go. Don't worry about it anymore. The war in the northwest is tense, so you better be careful and don't lose your life."
Xie Jingmo nodded and stuffed a list into Deputy General Gao's arms. "These are the people who followed me before. I have already told them one by one to put Yi Yunzhao first in everything they do in the future. They have also agreed. If anyone among them has other thoughts, please write to me and I will restrain them."
Deputy General Gao spread it out and took a look.
Half of them were ministers in the court.
Deputy General Gao knew that this was the force that Xie Jingmo had cultivated when he was choosing the successor for the late emperor.
Now, it was given to Yun Zhao.
Deputy General Gao sighed, "You guys..."
Xie Jingmo looked up again and saw the high city wall, which was empty.
He lowered his head, looked at the Forbidden City, and took a last deep look.
The army marched away.
Deputy General Gao stood behind him, feeling mixed emotions.
After returning to the palace.
Deputy General Gao went to see Yun Zhao and presented him with the things that Xie Jingmo gave him.
"He... was thinking about you. Before he left, he wanted to see you."
When Deputy General Gao looked up, he saw the lily hairpin that Xie Jingmo had given him earlier thrown carelessly into the flowerpot.
He swallowed back all the rest of the words he wanted to say.
