Chapter 262

For a long time, Qi Yan had a wish that he didn't have time to say.

It's winter, everything is withered and no longer angry.The ground fire dragon in Jiaofang Hall is burning hot.As soon as the court was over, Qi Yan rushed here, and the palace servants who were sweeping outside stopped their movements and saluted respectfully when they saw Qi Yan.

"Where's your majesty? Have you eaten breakfast yet?" Seeing Xiao Fuzi guarding the outside, he asked as he walked towards the hall.

Xiao Fuzi bowed his body and sighed: "I have never used it before. The empress said that she has a bad appetite, so she insisted on waiting for you to come."

The man shook his head slightly, how many times has this happened?Calluses grew in his ears when she heard the excuse she gave, and she signaled others not to follow in, and he wanted to give a good lesson to those who were disobedient.

"How many times have I told you? Every time I tell you not to wait for me, but you just don't listen. The child has grown up, and if you keep messing around like this, he will be a joke..."

"He wouldn't dare with you as my father here." When seeing Jiang Yu in middle clothes walking out of the bedroom, Qi Yan finally softened his heart, and swallowed any more reproaches in his heart.

"Why are you wearing so little?" Qi Yan frowned, and found her cloak to cover her shoulders.

Jiang Yu felt helpless when she saw that the man wanted to put all the thick clothes on her body, but she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.She was not feeling well, but if she continued to cover her like this, she would be overheated before her heart troubled.

This year is the 23rd year of Xuanwu, Prince Qi Mingjin, after him, Jiang has nowhere to go.Even though Qi Yan never told her about this, Jiang Yu also understood that she was able to live happily in the harem for so many years, all thanks to Qi Yan to shield her from the wind and rain.His Majesty does not accept concubines, does not spread branches and leaves for the royal family, and repeatedly writes letters to persuade him to be unsuccessful, and some old officials even hit the pillars and spilled their blood on the court.But what is the result after that?His Majesty was unmoved.This is Qi Yan, anyone would try to manipulate Emperor Dalu.

Jiang Yu's health is getting worse every year. From the occasional angina in the past few years, now the pain is so painful that she can't sleep all night.Every time he gets up from the bed with his hands on his chest in pain, he always looks at Qi Yan with distressed eyes.The heart of this body has been injured, and the imperial physician is helpless about it, and can only rely on soup and medicine to maintain it.She knew that this was Dahua's non-accidental death. If the original owner died, she would never come back.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Jiang Yu couldn't eat any more, but remembering the bitter soup every day, she insisted on eating half a bowl of porridge.Xing Yu came over with the medicine on time, she frowned and swallowed bitterly, her mouth was filled with bitterness, and when she relieved with candied fruit, Qi Yan wrapped her whole body tightly.

Picking him up, Jiang Yu lay on his back and couldn't help wondering: "What are you doing?"

He didn't answer, and carried him all the way to the imperial garden.In winter, there are no flowers and plants to see.The flowers have fallen, the grass has withered, and even the fallen leaves have been cleaned up by the palace people so that they cannot be seen.It's really not as good as before. I still remember that Ming Jin liked to come here when he was a child. What he destroyed, Qi Yan planted again in the next year.

The ginkgo tree that has lost all its leaves in the flowers is still tall and straight. It was planted by him when she first entered the palace, and it has been nearly 20 years.It will not die, and will grow new leaves next spring.The same goes for the rest of the flowers and plants, which change from season to season and are endless.

Thinking of this, it is inevitable to be a little sad: "Do you think these plants are immortal? They rest in autumn and winter, and then thrive in spring and summer, as if their life is endless."

"No matter what it is, it will experience death." Qi Yan raised his head and looked at the gray sky, "It seems that reincarnation grows, but in fact life is as short as a moment. When the leaves wither, its life is over, and the new ones will grow again next year." Well, not last year’s slice either.”

The same is true for people, everyone will experience birth, old age, sickness and death.Death is just a word. The leaves of the tree grow around the trunk. When the leaves fall, they return to the embrace of the body in another way.

When talking about parting in a vague way, Qi Yan is much more open than Jiang Yu. In fact, only he knows whether he can really laugh at the departure of his lover.

He brought the people to the city wall again, and they stared at the beautiful scenery together.Over the years, he took her to many places, the lonely desert in the northwest, the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the ice and snow in the north, and the lights of thousands of houses in the capital at night under their feet.Her wish came true one by one, but what about his wish?It seemed like there was no more time.

A piece of crystal fell on his feet, and the surface of the black boots was stained with water. Qi Yan looked up and saw that it was snowing.This year's snow seems to be earlier than in previous years.

The pieces are clear and the blossoms are pure white. They seem to gather in one place and fall to the world together as if listening to the signal.If you say it is romantic, it can indeed fulfill the promise made by the young couple to live together; if you say it is bleak, it is usually accompanied by cold wind, which is freezing to the bone.

Jiang Yu's physical strength no longer allowed her to stand for a long time. She sat on the city wall, clasped her cloak tightly with her hands, rested her head on Qi Yan's shoulder, and was looking at the scenery as well as him.

In his forties, Qi Yan has become more mature. From the very beginning of knowing him, he is steady.After more than ten years of precipitation, the hostility on his body faded, and a touch of softness was added to his brows and eyes.

"Yu'er, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at you, let's take a good look at you." Jiang Yu's voice was a little choked up, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Fool." He reached out and pressed her head against his chest, and helped her clean up the snowflakes that fell on her head, "Don't keep thinking about that, we still have a long way to go."

"Don't say that you will have gray hair in the future. Even if you lose all your teeth, I can still carry you by heart. Let's come here again and look far away."

"If you want to lose all your teeth, you must lose all your teeth first." Jiang Yu's wrinkled face stretched out again, why this man has been a father for almost 20 years, and his words are still so unpleasant.

The two leaned on each other on the city wall, and the man below stood with his hands behind his back, and whispered to the people next to him: "Let's go."

"Didn't you need your Majesty for something?" Lu'an turned around and followed behind Qi Mingjin.His Royal Highness surrounded the entire harem looking for people, and found the city wall all the way. When he saw His Majesty and Empress, he refused to go up.

Qi Mingjin stretched out his hand and let the snowflakes fall on his palm, and watched it melt a little bit by his body temperature.He knew how loving his parents were, and his mother's health was getting worse, and he hoped that day would come more than anyone else.

He closed his eyes and opened them again, and slowly moved his palms to his eyes, as if he was comforted.His father's wish is to have a good life with his mother, and to be able to live together in the snow, that is also considered a life together.
