Kapitel 235

...

As my mother was rubbing my back, she looked at me and asked, "What's going on between you and the Prime Minister Sikong?"

"Nothing, friend."

"I'm not joking with you, what's going on between you and him?"

He picked up the flower petals from the water, not knowing how to say it. He saw Chou Qian taking me home, and saw Wu Hui fighting with Chou Qian. It wasn't easy to lie to her: "Chou Qian and I have a bit of a misunderstanding."

Upon hearing this, my mother put down her bath towel and stood in front of me. "Xiao Yi, we cannot afford to offend Prime Minister Sikong."

"I know." Apply some flower petals to your body for beautiful skin.

My mother pressed down on my shoulder, her voice tinged with sadness: "I don't want to drag you down with me."

I looked at her, facing the person I would rely on for the rest of my life: "You won't be a burden to me. If you want me, you can have me; if you don't want me, you can not. Don't worry about me."

"I don't want to be a burden to you, but I can't let you have a grand wedding. I still owe you."

I chuckled. "What are you afraid of? The one who loves me won't deny me my legal wife just because of your status."

There will always be people gossiping.

"Speak up, or do you expect me to kill them all?"

“My dear girl, there are rumors all over the place that are bad for you. Everyone has seen how the Emperor and the Prime Minister have acted since you fell ill. I’m worried…” She lowered her head sadly, not wanting to lose me.

"It's okay, I'll withdraw within a year at most."

"what you up to?"

"secret."

"I'm warning you! Hu Yong and Qi Zhi are in the Emperor's hands now. Don't make any rash moves. Otherwise, you'll make me..." Her eyes reddened, and she couldn't bring herself to say the words.

I helped her gather her hair: "Mother, believe me, I will be a good daughter. When your beauty fades, I will get married and have children. When you are laid to rest, I will still be full of vigor."

My mother looked at me questioningly: "Really?"

"Really, I promise."

The mother smiled through her tears, and the peonies bloomed. "By the way, the Fourth Madam is about to give birth, and the doctor says it's a boy."

Really? I'm going to be an aunt—the baby is about to be born. Why aren't you happy to hear that?

I slid into the water, immersing myself in my impure thoughts.

...

Wu Hui left, just as suddenly as he appeared. He came and went without giving me a chance to say goodbye or even take one last look at me. He just left like that.

I chased after him alone to the outskirts of the city, imagining that his horse's hooves had not left...

No regrets...

"No regrets..." Why didn't you wait for me to say goodbye?

"No regrets..." How could I not be allowed to watch your retreating figure leave...?

No regrets...

Why do I feel like your trip will last a long time?

Why do I feel that once you leave, there is no hope left?

Why do I feel like once you leave, you'll lose your way...?

"No regrets... Wait for me..."

This is the third time I've stood here. I've seen two people off and lost a heart.

This is the farthest distance I've ever traveled in my life.

When I was little, I couldn't go out because the eyes in the back of my head were always ready to kill me.

The reason I can't get out now is because the eyes behind me won't let me die...

I waved goodbye to the distance, farewell to you who dared to disregard military discipline for my sake...

Say goodbye to the one who destroyed my faith...

"Young Master?"

Who? I looked up and saw him smiling warmly: "Young master, is it really you? Get in the carriage, from now on my carriage belongs to you!" His laughter was hearty, peaceful and generous.

Oh, about making money! "Hmm." Now I remember who you are. You still owe me money, so the carriage is mine, of course.

I jumped into the car and shouted, "Charge!"

The middle-aged man drove wildly, speeding towards the world, towards the international arena, towards the desolate borderlands… “Eleventh Young Master!”

"Eleventh Young Master!"

"Stop shouting! Has the sky fallen or the earth caved in? You can't even let people have a good time right after court!"

"This servant knows her mistake."

Xiao Cao helped me change out of my court robes. I glanced at Lian'er kneeling there—she looked nervous and was covered in sweat: "What's wrong?" I took the tea that Xiao Cao had brewed; its aroma was wonderful.
