Chapter 179: Love is hard to untie the knot in the heart [ask for monthly ticket]
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a ball of paper rolling beside me.
Xiao Wu quickly turned over and pressed it under him, then grabbed it in his palm...
"You little rascal, you're not sleeping well." The weird old man saw Xiao Wu rolling around, so he stretched out his hand and slapped him on the butt.
"You damn old man, you bad old man, how dare you spank me." Xiao Wu cursed the old man eight hundred times in his heart, but his eyes remained closed.
………………
The rain, as fine as silver threads, covered the sky and the earth like a veil.
A bend of green water flows around the forest like a jade belt, and the distant mountains are dimly visible.
In the distance, there seemed to be a wisp of mist covering the palace in front of us...
"My Lord, the God of War has indeed not started the war yet." The guard handed over the urgent letter sent from thousands of miles away.
Zhengxi opened the letter expressionlessly, and the lines of words jumped before his eyes like thunder.
"Your Majesty, we are reporting the truth. The God of War has not moved an inch since he arrived at the foot of Yingan Mountain five months ago. He has been defending here. There are sick soldiers and plagues. The current military rations are still maintained by the Nine Gates Lords who sent them a few days ago..."
Such information has been circulating since the God of War left...
Zhengxi closed his eyes tiredly, but his mind was very clear about what he wanted...
"My Lord?" The guard reminded softly when he saw that his master did not move.
"Go down first and let me think about it." Zhengxi waved his hand at him.
"Yes, take care, Immortal Lord." The guard wanted to say something else, but he retreated.
"It's a little chilly at night, my husband, please take care of yourself." Concubine Lan gently put a cloak on Zhengxi's shoulders.
Zhengxi turned around. His dark pupils were as peaceful and mysterious as the night. The light shining from them was unpredictable. He quietly looked at the woman in front of him.
Concubine Lan blushed and said a little embarrassedly: "Why is my husband looking at me like this?"
"Lan'er." Zhengxi's heart softened, and he suddenly held her in his arms, murmuring to her.
Lan Fei sighed softly and patted his back slowly with both hands.
"Lan'er, what do you think, if I hadn't been the king back then? Would we still be the same as before?" Zhengxi sighed heavily.
Speaking of the past, talking about the past... Lan Fei felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
"I know you are unhappy, but you still stay with me. Thank you." Zhengxi no longer calls himself the king. Only in front of the person in his arms will he say some incoherent words like a child.
"Lan'er, why don't you say anything?" Zhengxi felt a pang in his heart.
"As long as you are fine, nothing else matters." Lan Fei hesitated for a moment before replying.
She knew that all the promises were worthless in the face of rights and interests...
"You must wait for me. When I am free from my official duties, we can live in seclusion in the mountains." Zhengxi suddenly straightened the person in his arms and forced her to look at him.
Concubine Lan just smiled faintly, without any surprise or emotion.
Zhengxi frowned slightly. He knew that he had broken his promise too many times and she would not trust him again, but she still kept her promise...
"Oh, sister and husband are so loving." Concubine Li appeared behind her at some point and chuckled.
Lan Fei could hear the hidden needle in this smile even with her eyes closed...
Feeling the trembling of the person in his arms, Zhengxi felt inexplicably distressed: "Lan'er, wait for me, I will definitely give you an unexpected ending in the future, are you still willing to believe me?"
An unexpected ending...
For some reason, Concubine Lan felt a sudden tightness in her heart, as if something shocking was going to happen.
"My sister and husband are still reluctant to let me go?" Concubine Li pretended to have a gentle voice, but there was a sour tone in it.
Concubine Lan gently let go of her hand, looked at Concubine Li and said calmly, "My sister is here?"
"I'm sorry to bother you. I came at a really bad time." Concubine Li felt an inexplicable surge of disgust in her heart, but she spoke calmly.
I hate this woman so much. She is as indifferent as a chrysanthemum. I hate her pretending to be noble. I hate her indifference to everything... Hehe, but so what? Your husband is still my husband...
"I know I'm disturbing you, so why are you here?" Zhengxi didn't even look at her.
"I missed you..." Concubine Li was stunned, but she still walked over tenderly and started to act coquettishly.
Seeing her twisting and turning like a water snake, Lan Fei said calmly: "I won't bother you anymore. You two should go to bed early."
Without waiting for a reply, Concubine Lan walked away without looking back.
"Husband, look, my sister is angry again." Concubine Li pouted and complained.
"Lan'er, wait a minute." Zhengxi called out hurriedly.
"Husband?" Concubine Li was unhappy.
"I have something important to discuss with Concubine Lan. You should go and have a rest first." Zhengxi hurried over and without waiting for Concubine Lan to turn around, he embraced her thin figure with one hand.
"Husband, my sister wanted to leave on her own, why didn't you accompany her?" Concubine Li stomped her feet in anger.
Hearing this, the two were speechless for a moment...
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Zhengxi was the first to break the silence.
Lan Fei stopped, glanced at Zheng Xi calmly, and then shook her head...
The bright yellow robe was embroidered with a pattern of a soaring sea dragon. Under the surging golden waves at the corners of the robe, the sleeves were gently blown up by the wind. The long eyebrows were slightly raised, and the black jade-like pupils flashed with an unfathomable expression...
What to say? There are so many things I want to say, but will it be useful? No matter how much the world changes, it cannot withstand the sharp sword of reality... especially that ridiculous one life and one couple.
"Do you have any news about Ye'er?" Zhengxi turned the topic to his son.
Sure enough, there was light in Lan Fei's eyes: "How is Ye'er? She must still be holding a grudge against me, and she hasn't written to me yet."
"He must be fine, don't worry."
"I just came here to tell you because I'm afraid you might be worried."
The news of the defeat was finally left on the tip of my tongue, and I couldn't say it out loud.
Lan Fei's beautiful face was full of smiles, and her eyes were like water as she looked at him, unable to hide her happiness: "Thank you."
Zhengxi was slightly stunned. She was still so polite to him, as polite as a stranger...
"Your Majesty." The guard suddenly came over and whispered a few words.
Zhengxi looked a little surprised, nodded, and then said to Lan Fei: "You go back first, don't wait for me, I'm afraid I won't come tonight."
Lan Fei's smile froze. She hummed lightly and turned to leave.
Looking at her thin figure, which seemed even weaker in the dark, Zhengxi's heart suddenly felt like it was being stabbed by needles.
"Lan'er, wait a minute." Zhengxi hurried over.
"Hmm?" Lan Fei's mind was full of news about her son Xiye, and she stared at him with some confusion.
"I'm going to take you back. Why aren't these servants here?" Zhengxi asked softly.
Lan Fei's mood inexplicably lightened up a lot, and she chuckled, "You know, I don't like crowds."
"Yeah, that's fine too. I'll be with you from now on." Zhengxi held her hand gently in his palm and walked forward.
This scene happened more than ten years ago.
At that time, the two were young and in love.
But later, he had no choice...
As she thought about it, Lan Fei felt her eyes moisten...
Concubine Li: Zhengxi, don’t forget that I am also your concubine.
