The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 244

After Xia Lanyue entered the Kongling Temple, she found that the temple was simple and incomplete. It seemed that this place was a lonely and deserted temple. The temple was not big, and there were not many monks. I want to live here forever.

When he got under a few maple trees, the little monk pointed at the back of a man who was looking down and sweeping the fallen leaves, and said in a deep voice: "Female benefactor, he is Niankong." After finishing speaking, he left quietly.

Xia Lanyue stared at the figure in the monk's robe, holding on to the broom with both hands, and was sweeping the fallen leaves regularly. His gray temples were gone, and the hair on his head had already been plucked.Although she couldn't see his face, she could feel that his face must be so comfortable at this moment.

Maybe, she shouldn't bother him.

She stood there like that, staring deeply at that figure for a long, long time, her eyes were so wet that she didn't realize it.

It wasn't until the figure finished sweeping the fallen leaves, and when it turned around, it met her eyes, its body was obviously startled, its steps stagnated for a moment, but it quickly recovered, and walked towards this side with slow steps .

Seeing him approaching, Xia Lanyue's face gradually flashed with astonishment and surprise. She never thought that it was just half a year since she saw him. Mu Piaoyu had not only been ordained as a monk, but also had scars burned by the fire on her originally handsome face. As big as a fist, it rested ferociously on his right cheek.

"Floating Feather, you..."

"There is no Mu Piaoyu in this world, only Buddhist disciple Niankong." His voice was calm and distant, as if there was an ethereal spirit that penetrated the world.

Xia Lanyue was silent for a while, and then said: "I didn't know that the emperor would kill you like this after you resigned. If someone hadn't deliberately revealed this news to me, maybe I still don't know about your situation."

"Which powerful official in history can retire after success, I have already expected the emperor's pursuit, otherwise how would Gu Ling and I have escaped that night's lore."

"I'm sorry." At this moment, she didn't know what else to say besides sorry.

"Over the years, it seems that the most you have said to me is sorry." He smiled and met her tearful eyes.

"Let's get out of here and find a place where no one knows us."

Her words were so true that he was stunned for a moment. He stared at her expression for a long time, but finally smiled bleakly: "I have been waiting for you to say this for 20 years in the palace. But it's been so many years, but I haven't waited for it. On the contrary, now, I'm so down and out that I can't even have a good face..."

"I don't care!" she interrupted him.

"But I care." Compared to her agitation, he seemed so calm. He secretly exerted a little strength with his hand holding the broom, and laughed ironically: "But I don't want your pity, let alone your pity." Give up the last trace of dignity and pride in front of you."

She murmured, "Do you need to give up so much to be with me?"

"It's been 20 years, and I can't even tell what I'm obsessed with in the end? Fame, fortune, love, those things don't seem to be important to me now. I have already made up my mind to live here forever. , but why did you come? You don't know, you came and ruined a dream of mine for so many years. I remember you once said to Sujin that you would rather live in a dream, but he wanted to destroy your dream with his own hands. Meng, now I can finally experience the feeling you mentioned." His tired smile showed his exhaustion even more.

"Why did I come and ruin your dream? I just want to see you again."
