It turned out that after the engagement, the two of them struggled for a while. He said he should stop calling "Uncle Wen", and later they also discussed what to call him, but Qiao Yuyan couldn't get used to it.
When we get along with each other on weekdays, we rarely address each other by name. We just fool around and let it go.
It turned out that he had always cared about it.
Qiao Yuyan thought of those two sentences he just said when he was about to leave. So, what was really going to happen?!
Thinking about this, she lost all her pajamas and tossed and turned on the bed. She couldn't sleep at all. She wanted to get up, but she was afraid of disturbing others.
He came back so quietly, obviously hiding it from everyone.
Qiao Yuyan forced herself not to think about other things, and went to bed early according to Wen Tingyuan's arrangement.
At this time, Wen Tingyuan stood on the long palace road with a deep expression on his face.
The north wind blew up the snowballs, whistling and chasing them along the palace roads. On such a snowy night, the majestic palace city was like a giant beast, devouring the past and present.
There was no one on the palace road, except for the sound of wind and snow, there was only dead silence.
"Let's go!"
The voice of the woman next to her was neither fast nor slow, and there was no emotion in her tone.
Wen Tingyuan nodded lightly, and the two of them walked slowly towards the palace at the end of the palace road, one step at a time.
When they reached the door, an expressionless palace attendant quietly opened the door and then disappeared like a ghost.
There were a few floor lamps lit in the corners of the palace, just because the palace was too big and the night was so dark that the fire couldn't be dispersed.
Beside the dragon bed in the inner room, there was a lamp burning quietly. Occasionally the fire would jump, causing the shadows in the room to flicker as well. It seemed to be the only life that existed in this palace.
The two people slowly stepped forward. Halfway there, Wen Tingyuan stopped, while the woman continued to step forward.
She walked to the edge of the bed and then stood still. After waiting for two breaths, the woman leaned over and called in a soft voice, "Father, Father, I heard that you are sick and my daughter has come to see you."
The person on the bed made some movement, and the eyes under the eyelids moved slightly under the light. After a while, he opened his eyes, but his pupils were cloudy.
It seemed that he had spent a lot of effort to see the person in front of him clearly, and then he made a "whoosh" sound in his throat. His body remained motionless, and he just looked at the woman who came over with his eyes.
The woman's voice was still soft and sweet, "How many years have passed in such a flash, I'm afraid my father won't recognize me anymore! I'm getting old too."
The people on the dragon bed could still only make vague sounds.
"Father, are you blaming me for entering the palace without permission?"
Naturally, the other party couldn't answer her, so the woman seemed to be asking and answering herself, "Father, do you think it's funny? This is my home, but now that I've come back, I've become a trespasser. You don't even know that I gave up my life just to come in."
How much strength!"
She sighed softly, her voice murmuring as if she was talking to herself, "I grew up here, loved by my parents and loved by my brothers. I thought I was the happiest girl in the world, but who knew..."
Her voice sank, sank again, and finally dissipated like soot.
Suddenly she smiled again, with a bit of joy on her face that looked a little weak under the light, "What are you talking about? You are sick. I am worried outside in every possible way, but I have never been able to think of a solution.
I have sent many people out to search for famous doctors all over the country. Most of the doctors in this palace are timid and afraid of offending others, so they are of no use!"
As she spoke, she came closer, and the smile on her face deepened, "Fortunately, my hard work paid off, I really found one, and I went through all the trouble to get him here all night long. Father, please be patient, miracle doctor." My medical skills are excellent, but the technique is a little painful, please don't say anything."
After saying that, she waved to the dark place, and a tall man came over. The woman smiled and said: "I forgot, my father can't speak now, so I guess it's okay for the miracle doctor to be more aggressive. "
The emperor didn't look at the man who was already playing with things under the lamp. He just looked at the woman in front of him.
Even though his eyes were cloudy at this time, he could not speak or move, the look in his eyes was still clear.
Facing the resentment and fear in his eyes, the woman always had a smile on her face, "Actually, sometimes I think about it, God is fair, at least for us four brothers and sisters.
When I was a child, I had the least worries. My brothers were all busy with various things, but I was carefree and unaware of everything. Even on the day my mother committed suicide, she sent me to pick up things from the embroidery room, and I didn't even notice anything. inappropriate.
Even the deaths of the prince’s brother and mother were so belatedly noticed by me. I thought I heard wrong at the time. I went to the East Palace and I saw it. I saw his body. Do you know how he died? ?”
The woman's voice began to tremble, and the corners of her mouth kept twitching. Finally, she could no longer maintain the smile on her face, "Oh, of course you know that the history book you burned was actually recorded.
He was strangled to death by a bowstring. I saw him...I saw that only half of his neck was left, and his head was hanging on his head, as if it was fake. Blood was flowing all over the floor! There was blood all over the floor. !He opened his eyes and looked at me like that, just...looking at me..."
The woman's tears fell one by one, but she still kept her voice steady, "There is also the second brother, have you heard? Thousands of arrows have pierced the heart. He is skilled in bow and horse, and is determined to guard the border for the prince's brother. Yes, I want to be the unprecedented God of War Prince in Daqi!
But he died...in the hands of our own Daqi soldiers. He had not been on a real battlefield! He was killed by our Daqi emperor. Do you think this is ironic?
Did you say that before he died, he would have hated his father? I thought later, that was not necessarily the case! The second brother was the most affectionate. The most important thing in his heart was not even his mother who worked hard every day, but the one who accompanied him. Play chess and practice swordsman!
Do you know that in his former study, there was an unedged sword that he forged with his master, and it was originally intended to be a birthday present for his good father!"
Ignoring the "ho ho" sound in the emperor's throat, the woman's voice contained a bit of sadness, "I don't know if the queen mother will even recognize us children if we don't see each other in the underworld with hair covering her face." Not coming out."
There was a bit of melancholy in her voice, but she soon seemed relieved, "But it's okay, my mother and queen must have been reincarnated. In this life, she will probably meet someone who treats her well. As for my father... …As your daughter, I must fulfill my filial duty after all.”
As she spoke, she motioned to the person next to her, and the sharp blade she had prepared long ago cut into the flesh, making a penetrating sound.
