Chapter 150

The wind in the mountains seems to be blowing tirelessly. Even if the time changes and the sun shifts, the time on the top of the mountain seems to be frozen, and no change can be noticed.

Chu Yan didn't know how long it took, until her body could no longer feel the slightest temperature, and she was numb from the cold.

Qin Shu looked up at the red sun, and said softly, "I don't know if the emperor will come. If he doesn't show up by noon, the empress will probably have to die alone."

Chu Yan said nothing, but closed her eyes to preserve her strength.

Tormented by Chongzheng's slap in the face and the temperature on the top of the mountain, she was exhausted. She already felt that she could hardly hold on any longer. How can someone who is still in confinement stand such a torment?I just hope that I can wait until the moment when he comes, and take another good look.

Chongzheng smiled coldly: "I'm afraid the empress's mood is very complicated now, she is afraid that the emperor will come, and also afraid that the emperor will not come."

Qin Shu heard a faint sound coming from the forest, as if someone was stepping on the dead leaves on the ground, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with some regret: "It's a pity that such a beautiful person as the empress, if she hadn't stepped into the emperor's place, family, and will not face today’s ordeal. The palace, the power... Oh, it’s really harmful, I don’t know if the empress has ever regretted her decision to enter the palace, I feel sorry for you.”

Lin Zi's footsteps stopped slightly.

Among the three people present, Chongzheng and Qin Shu played martial arts, and their hearing was good, so they could hear the movement in the forest, but Chu Yan was in a state of physical exhaustion, and it was difficult to concentrate, so how could he tell someone? Is it close?

She smiled slightly and only said three words: "You are here."

While speaking, the eyes that had been tightly closed all the time also slowly opened. Even though he looked embarrassed, tired, and had difficulty concentrating, the smile in those eyes did not diminish at all, as bright and warm as The rising sun in the sky.

Qin Shu's face suddenly darkened, he didn't expect that although Chu Yan couldn't hear Gu Qi's footsteps, he judged this fact from his self-made cleverness.

The people in the woods finally came out stepping on a field of rotting dead leaves. The darkness in the woods was in stark contrast to the sunshine on the top of the mountain, which made him frown slightly.

And when he saw Chu Yan standing on the edge of the cliff, only one step away from the abyss, he stopped again.

With a short distance of more than ten steps, the eyes of the two finally intertwined. This was the first time the two met in more than eight months. He stood at the place where the darkness and the light meet, handsome as before, and as clear as a breeze; And her posture was in a state of embarrassment, she no longer had any demeanor as before, even her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were red and swollen, her lips were bloody, and even... she was about to fall off a cliff.

Chu Yan had never realized so clearly that she was so familiar with everything about him.

From a distance of ten steps, she saw his familiar eyebrows, familiar expression, even the familiar habitual tightness of the corners of his lips, and the familiar small lines when his brows were furrowed.

There was a burst of scalding heat surging out of her eye sockets, she could only bite her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying.

But Gu Qi's face didn't change at all, he just looked at her calmly for a moment, then slowly turned his head to Qin Shu, "My son-in-law is here too? What a coincidence."

The tone was relaxed as usual, as if it was just meeting old friends and reminiscing about the old days.

Qin Shu said: "Where are there so many coincidences in the world? I came here for the empress, and the emperor must be the same, so this is not a coincidence."

Gu Qi sneered and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. You may have come here for the queen, but I'm here for you. Thanks to you being impatient and taking the queen away today, otherwise I wouldn't know It turns out that you are still harboring a rebellious heart. The army is already waiting outside the forest, Qin Shu, you can hardly fly today."

After a pause, he looked at Chu Yan calmly, "As for the empress, if she dies for the country, that's what a worthy empress should do. Don't worry, if you can't return to the palace today, I will take the empress position forever." The far land is empty there for you, and the people of the Xuan Dynasty will remember you from generation to generation."

The turning point of the matter is so bizarre, Qin Shu and Chongzheng both placed their bets, hoping that Gu Qi would come to rescue him because he cared about Chu Yan, but the fact is that they made the right bet, Gu Qi did come, but the purpose of coming was not different from what they thought.

Qin Shu looked into Gu Qi's eyes without blinking, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Your majesty is not chaotic in the face of danger, even though he is worried to the extreme, he can still pretend to be such a nonchalant, cold-blooded and ruthless gentleman. Look at it with admiration. Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t know that the emperor has a deep affection for the empress? Doesn’t the emperor think that everything he is doing now is futile?”

Gu Qi also smiled casually, "Then you can give it a try and see whether I am putting on a show or being outspoken. But let me remind you, if the queen is dead, you will lose your shield, and I am afraid you will die." Get out of this wood."

Qin Shu's complexion changed slightly.

In his plan, robbing Chu Yan would have two results:

First, if the emperor does not come, the queen becomes useless.

Second, the emperor came, and in order to save the queen, he exchanged his life for his life.

But right now, everything has exceeded his expectations.

The mountain wind hung silently, and there was the sound of dead leaves rustling in the forest.

Qin Shu looked at Gu Qi who was walking through the forest, and slowly calmed down, "If the emperor doesn't care about the empress, why does he go around such a big circle? Just ask the army to come and kill me, why bother with me?" Wasting a lot of trouble and talking?"

He laughed slowly, and gestured to Chongzheng.

Chongzheng understood, and pulled Chu Yan back heavily, Chu Yan staggered, and fell backward involuntarily.

Gu Qi's pupils dilated in an instant, and he almost rushed forward immediately, "No!"

But it was only a few steps, Chongzheng withdrew her hand, and Chu Yan's arm was held tightly by her, and she returned to the position where she was just now.

Gu Qi paused, and finally saw the dazzling smile on Qin Shu's lips.

"Your Majesty, duplicity is not a good habit. Now that you have become the emperor, you should learn what is meant by Junwu jokes."

"How are you doing?" Gu Qi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a deep silence in his eyes.

What he asked was Qin Shu, but what he looked at was Chu Yan, with some inexplicable light flowing in his eyes, and all the unspeakable feelings.

During such a long time, I have been thinking about this woman every day, and it is not that I have not imagined how we will meet again.

He once imagined that she would sit in that warm and bright palace, with the exquisite embroidery in her hand and the warmth of the stove at her feet. When he stepped into the hall, she dropped the things in her hand in surprise and ran towards him. Come.

When I was at the border, there were many dreams like this. Maybe the time was different, maybe the background was different, but what remained the same was her bright smile.

He missed her so much, and desperately hoped to end this war and return to her, but he never imagined that when he met again, it would be like this.

Soldiers are never tired of deceit, cunning rabbits and three caves, building plank roads openly, hiding old warehouses... The art of war has taught him a lot. After thinking hard for many days, he finally came up with a strategy of cheating death, luring Prince Gong into the palace to seize the throne, and then catching the turtle in the urn.

He planned every step, and even the most subtle link has been pondered over and over thousands of times, trying to be safe and make no mistakes, but in the end he missed the most important details-he still has a fatal weakness exposed to the unknown in front of the enemy.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Gu Qi's mind. He had fought for the throne of the emperor for a long time, he had struggled for a long time with the courtiers, and he had suffered for more than ten years... He has endured for a long time, and finally came to the This is his day.

As long as he climbed to the nine-fold palace, all the people in the world would look up to him, and no one would be able to threaten him again.

He can let go of the country, the land and the people, just like what he imagined when he was a child, and become a generation of Mingjun recorded in history books, and become the emperor of the Xuan Dynasty admired by future generations.

But in the end, his complicated thoughts settled down, and he only saw the woman in front of him.

She has been with him for the past ten years, witnessed his struggle and hesitation, shared his pain and sorrow, and she even encouraged him continuously, believing that he will come to such a brilliant place today even more firmly than himself. time.

She was Zhao Chuyan, his only queen, and the one he engraved in his heart.

Qin Shu's words could not have been more clear, "It is very simple to save the queen, please hand over the military power and the jade seal."

And God knows whether he will leave a way for these two people to survive after handing over the military power and Yuxi.

Even though he had expected such a choice, Gu Qi remained silent.

He looked up at Chu Yan, with obvious pain and sorrow in his eyes. On one side was the country and society he had worked so hard for for many years, and on the other side was the person next to him who he never wanted to lose. Losing any one of them was impossible for him. A huge loss of words.

At this moment, Chu Yan laughed softly, shook her head, and said in a brisk tone: "I never thought that my life is so valuable that it is so important that Lord Qin can weigh it against you. Your Excellency values ​​me so much, Chu Yan is really flattered."

She looked so embarrassed, but her smile was as generous as before, even with fearless courage and beauty.

She looked at Gu Qi deeply, and let out a long breath.

"I finally took another look at you, and I don't have any regrets. You probably haven't seen our son yet. I always thought that even if I didn't inherit my genius and beauty, I should at least have a bit of your beauty." Good points, but it's a pity that the little guy didn't bloom when he was born, which disappointed me. My aunt said that a child can't tell whether he is beautiful or not. ..." At this point, she smiled again, "His name is still waiting for you to come back, but I have an idea, why not call him Gu Nian, good pronunciation means that someone treats him all the time Thinking about it, such a child will not be lonely. Or it can be understood that his parents miss each other, so as to remind you that you must put me in your heart for the rest of your life, and never forget it all the time."

After rambling on like this, Gu Qi's expression finally changed, Qin Shu and Chong Zheng also suddenly realized something, and everyone's eyes turned to her.

At the moment when Chu Yan's voice stopped abruptly, she suddenly laughed and said the last sentence: "I have never regretted it."

And what happened with these words was the action of her dragging the Chongzheng and jumping down the cliff without hesitation.Chongzheng screamed and fell down before her, and Chu Yan also disappeared on the top of the mountain after showing a bright smile to Gu Qi for the last time.

I have never regretted it... This is before answering Qin Shu's question.

If it weren't for Gu Qi and entering the palace, she wouldn't have faced all of this today, but she has never regretted it, because without all these life and death partings, she wouldn't have known every detail of him in the past ten years.

A person's life is not only memorable when it is perfect, it is rich and profound because of intertwined pains, joys and sorrows, and everything is unforgettable.

And she was so grateful for such a strange name that she met him, so everything became meaningful.

Therefore, she would never be so cruel as to take away everything he finally had.

Gu Qi, I won.

You see, if you die earlier or later, you may not be able to achieve the current effect.

If I want to see you with my own eyes, and then die so resolutely in front of you, then I guess you will never forget such a tragic scene in your whole life, and you will never forget that there is a person who smiled so brightly and took the initiative to die for your country. .

Even if I'm selfish, I just hope that death has a little value, at least... I can't let another woman take my place.

I want you to remember me well all your life.
