Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 978 Qingyou, wait for me

Zhao Yuankai's eyes were a little wet, and he hugged Qingyou tightly into his arms, unable to let go of it for a long time.

In the end, it was Qing You who took the initiative to open her arms and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, my concubine...it's time to leave."

"Ah."

Zhao Yuan nodded.

Then, just watching Qingyou step by step onto the ship that will never be recorded in history.

Until the roar of the engine sounded.

Until the ships started to leave the port.

Until the rear of the ship, Qingyou looked at Zhao Yuankai with a smile on her face, and waved her hands. In the sea breeze, her eyes were dim with tears...

At that moment, Zhao Yuankai couldn't bear it anymore, and roared:
"Qing You, wait for me!!"

Although Zhao Yuankai would change his previous majesty from time to time in his daily relationship, he would say some small love words that were caught off guard.

But at this juncture, there was only one roar.

Wait for me!
The ship drifted away, towards the east, towards the unknown, and finally disappeared on the black sea.

On the harbor pier, Zhao Yuankai was left alone in the wind, silent for a long time.

"ten years!"

"Give me ten years!!"

After a long time, Zhao Yuankai gritted his teeth and growled with red eyes.

In fact, ten years is really not a long time.

After all, this is the world of extreme martial civilization and self-cultivation. A martial artist can live three hundred years if he becomes a saint, and once he hears the Tao and becomes a monk of the immortal way, he can live five hundred years!
If one day, the big man can completely stand on the peak of the Kyushu star, and Zhao Yuankai can even really ask the words of longevity.

Those ten years were nothing more than a flick of a finger.

late at night.

After all, Yuhuatian couldn't help it any longer. He took a step forward and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, the wind is strong on the beach..."

"Well, go back."

Zhao Yuankai nodded.

From the airport, I took a special car directly to Junwu Railway Station, and then took a special train overnight to rush back to Chang'an.

Along the way, Zhao Yuankai didn't say a word.

Yuhuatian was always with him like a shadow, following every step, but he didn't dare to say a word.

He always had a feeling that His Majesty seemed to have changed after the Empress embarked on the voyage to Middle-earth.

Become strange, become indifferent, become majestic and terrifying.

Rao Yuhuatian, a trusted minister who had followed for a long time, also felt unprecedented pressure.

Tianwu 16 years.

January.

Weiyang Palace seemed to be covered with a layer of gloom, exuding a strange sense of oppression, which made the six nobles in the harem suffocate.

Even, this atmosphere spread to the court, making the entire power center in Chang'an a bit depressing.

The Empress has not shown up for a month.

Although no one dared to gossip inside and outside the court, many people knew it tacitly and were speculating nervously.

It's not just that the empress didn't show up.

Even His Majesty seems to have changed.

Indifferent, terrifying, never showing the slightest smile.

at last.

The harem couldn't bear it anymore.

Concubine Xiaoyi begged to see Emperor Tianwu with strong doubts.

No one knew exactly what Concubine Xiaoyi said to His Majesty that day, only that after Concubine Xiaoyi came back, she seldom smiled.

Tianwu 16th year, March.

A piece of news spread like wildfire inside and outside the court.

Rumor has it that the empress suddenly fell ill. In order to save the empress, His Majesty disregarded all costs and sent the empress to a place outside the world for intensive care.

But this is just a rumor.

Because His Majesty did not give any response.

The order of the kingdom remains the same. After annexing the land of sand sea and snow country, and at the same time attracting demon spirits into the world, the empire ushered in a new period of development blowout.

but.

The empress never appeared in public again.

Throughout the empire, countless people and people were worried, praying in their hearts day and night, praying for the emperor and empress, and asking God to bless them.

During this period of time, many people from both inside and outside the government and the public begged to see His Majesty, but almost all of them were rejected by His Majesty.

Canghuang Mountain Range, Great Wilderness Holy Mansion.

A coquettish big woman in a red dress stands alone on the top of the mountain, looking in the direction of Chang'an, her eyes are so lonely and sad.

She is Murong Liuying, she has been to the capital three times and has not seen His Majesty.

On the top floor of a [-]-story skyscraper in the inner ring of Chang'an Weiyang Palace, there is a dignified woman dressed in a very modern service, always inadvertently secretly sad.

She is Su Jiuxi.

Shangshu of the Han Dynasty.

In the process of Dahan's comprehensive development of industrialization and promotion of marketization, she is the most dazzling new star in the court.

[-] meters away.

It is a complex of classical buildings.

That was Guozijian, the highest educational institution in the empire.

The chief minister, Zhu Lingxue, was also worried during this time. She had seen His Majesty a few times, and she could feel the changes in His Majesty.

She didn't dare to ask about the Empress.

But her intuition told her that something must have happened to the empress.

All of this also proved one point, that is, the position of the empress in Emperor Tianwu's heart is irreplaceable.

The 16th year of Emperor Tianwu has passed.

Nan Cangyu has been going smoothly this year, and only needs to speed up on the established route, so there are not too many waves and shocking changes.

It's just that in this year, His Majesty has become a little more in-depth and simple, and there has been an unprecedented sense of distance between the court and the various departments.

Yes.

This year Zhao Yuankai has indeed become a lot withdrawn.

Perhaps it confirms that sentence, the emperor is always lonely.

but.

Zhao Yuankai never let up at all.

He still manages a lot of affairs every day, wishing to spend all his time on state affairs.

It's just that with the development of the empire, the advancement and application of technology are strongly changing the administrative model and the way of participating in politics.

The Dachaohui was almost completely abolished.

The development of communication allows information to be transmitted to any institution in Dahan in an instant.

Tianwu 17 years.

Spring comes again.

One yuan resumes, and all phenomena are renewed.

During the Spring Festival of this year, there was an auspicious snowfall in Chang'an City.

Under the bright lights, Zhao Yuankai was wearing a brocade robe, leading a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll with braids and lollipops, and walked up to the platform for picking stars.

"Father... father, I will give you... sweet candy..." Xiao Anping held up a lollipop full of saliva, and was about to send it to Zhao Yuankai's mouth.

Zhao Yuankai laughed, and fondled Xiao Anping's nose, saying:

"Father is an adult now, adults don't eat sweets."

"Why don't adults eat candy?" Little Anping tilted his head, his jewel-like eyes were full of curiosity and doubt.

Uh……

Why don't adults eat sugar?
It's really hard for Zhao Yuankai to answer this question.

"Your Majesty, leave Anping to my concubine. This girl always asks these weird questions. The last time she stumped the concubine..."

Xu Xintian who was behind came forward and said with a smile.

Zhao Yuankai shook his head, reluctantly, then coaxed Xiao Anping and said:

"Oh, father doesn't know why."

　Good night, sweet dreams
