Chapter 573 Regrets in Life
As soon as he returned to the palace, it began to drizzle. Jiang Shunxiao looked up and saw that it was a sunny day, but in such weather, it started to rain...

Walking from the main entrance to Zhaoyi Courtyard, the rain stopped again, but the weather was not good. The air was so hot and stuffy, and it was as heavy as his heart that he couldn't breathe.

Before I could stay for a long time, I smelled the scent of incense coming from the small private room next to me, so I went directly to the small private room.

Rong Yi was lying in front of the desk, with a ledger under her face and her eyes closed. She didn't know if she was asleep. When Jiang Shunxiao walked in, she suddenly raised her head and glanced at him in confusion, and then opened her eyes wide.

He made no sound to disturb her, as if he was waiting for her to wake up completely. Rong Yi also looked at him quietly, looking at the sadness that could not be hidden in his dark eyes.

Her heart suddenly throbbed and hurt. She looked at the man standing in front of her now, imagining what he looked like here when he was a child. She wanted to give him a hug and make him feel warm.

With this thought in mind, Rong Yi also walked around the desk, walked to him, suddenly hugged him, leaned against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and after a long while she said: "You I’m finally back, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Jiang Shunxiao was stunned by her sudden hug and stared blankly at the black hair on top of her head and her smooth forehead...

He put his hand on her back and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you feel it?"

Rong Yi was slightly startled. She knew what he meant by what he said at this time, and he was referring to the things he experienced when he was a child. But what happened today?Rong Yi raised her head and was about to leave, but he put a hand on the back of her head and pulled her back. The two hugged each other tightly, like vines wrapped around a tree.

She heard Ye's voice say: "An old friend I once knew passed away today."

Rong Yi was startled, and she quickly asked: "Who is it?"

Jiang Shunxiao was silent. He took Rong Yi's hand, looked at her and said, "Come with me for a walk."

Rong Yi didn't speak, but nodded.

The two of them were left alone and only brought a few secret guards. Jiang Shunxiao rode a horse and took Rong Yi to the Panliu River.

The horse was riding up the mountain. It was not an easy road to walk. Rong Yi experienced bumps and bumps several times and was so frightened that she almost lost her courage. Several times she was afraid that she would slip out of her master's arms, but he behind her did not say a word. , only hugged her tighter.

Knowing that I was feeling uncomfortable at this moment, Rong Yi didn't say anything for the first time. When she arrived at the Panliu River, and after she was dropped off by him, she couldn't help but run to the side, bent over and covered her chest, and started to vomit.

The secret guard took the reins, and Jiang Shunxiao hurriedly ran to Rong Yi. Looking at her pale face, her stern expression became a little cracked. He helped Rong Yi up, with a look of pity on his face, and asked, "Did you ride just now?" Too fast?"

Rong Yi glanced at him, covered her mouth, shook her head with a forced smile, and said, "It's okay."

Jiang Shunxiao was not relieved because she said it was okay. He knew in his heart that Rong Yi was just afraid that he would blame himself.

After Rong Yi calmed down, she took Jiang Shunxiao's hand and walked to the big rock aside and said to him: "I want to sit on it. I have been here so many times, but I have never been up there before."

Jiang Shunxiao glanced at the stone, picked up her belt and sat on it with her.Without any warning, Rong Yi was also startled. She covered her chest and looked at the view where she was sitting on the tall stone, and then looked at the river. She clenched her sleeves tightly and exhaled. He smiled and said: "Although... you don't have to sit on the ground and your clothes won't get dirty, but it seems a bit high."

Jiang Shunxiao held her waist, let her lean into his arms, and then said: "Don't look down, and you won't be afraid. If you are afraid that I will take you down again."

Rong Yi quickly shook her head, then moved closer to him, and then said: "That's it, the air up here is good."

Jiang Shunxiao sighed softly, and with this sigh, Rong Yi also fell silent.

The two of them sat on a high stone leaning on each other. Rong Yi held his clothes with one hand and put a fist on her lap with the other. She closed her eyes gently and listened to the sound of the wind blowing through the forest.

This is indeed a good place for meditation and cultivation. Rong Yi feels a lot calmer even sitting here. The trees here are so tall that they can block the sun, but a lot of light is faintly revealed from the gaps, and there is a wind blowing through the forest. , so that this forest will not be so hot, and with this river, the air is very humid. Even on such a hot day, sitting here feels like being in a fairyland, with birdsong and gurgling in my ears. Water flow...

Rong Yi took a deep breath and said: "This place is really a paradise on earth. Sitting here seems like all the fatigue of the day can be blown away by the breeze. Where is me? Sitting here, will my mood feel better?"

Jiang Shunxiao took a deep breath and said, "Yeah."

Seeing that his mood was rising, Rong Yi reached out from his arms, looked into his indifferent eyes, and asked cautiously: "Can you tell me what's sad? Which old friend is gone?"

Jiang Shunxiao looked at her concerned eyes, his eyes wavered slightly, he swallowed and said: "An aunt who often gave me cakes when I was a child."

Give me cake to eat?

Rong Yi couldn't quite understand the relationship between this. As the eldest son of the royal family, when did I need to eat cakes given by others, and could I remember it until now?

Seeing her puzzled expression, Jiang Shunxiao sighed, looked at the leaves blown by the wind, and then said: "When I was a child, I often passed by Jingyun Street, often hungry and embarrassed, and every time I passed there, there would always be someone. A woman handed me a piece of bread to eat. Later, I ate more of his bread and got to know him somewhat. She was a widow who raised her children alone. Later, I ate more of her bread and got to know her better. I somewhat understood that she was a widow. When her husband died, her child had just turned two years old. People around her tried to persuade her to remarry, but she had to keep her late husband's only child and survived for so many years alone...until Later, I left the capital and had no contact with her. When I came back, I went to see him once, but I did not meet her..."

After hearing about this past, Rong Yi had many things to ask, but in the end she only asked: "Why don't you go see her?"

Jiang Shunxiao was startled, his eyes flashed, unable to hide his regret, he said: "Why don't you go see her... When I came back, I was thinking about this question along the way. Maybe this is the regret I must experience in my life. Bar."

Rong Yi fell silent. She hugged Jiang Shunxiao and said softly: "I must remember in the future that you must see the people you want to see earlier and do the things you want to do earlier. You must never do it again in this life." Don’t leave any more regrets for yourself, this world has already given us a lot of sadness, a lot of regrets and suffering..."

Hearing this, Jiang Shunxiao suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He didn't answer, and just gave a dull "hmm".
