The maid is the queen

Chapter 229 Returning to the Palace
"Why?" I asked softly, my throat was hoarse as if it was on fire.

"I know you are persistent. Has anyone told you that you are really very stubborn. You don't eat or drink for three days and three nights. I don't want to watch you die. I love you and want you to live."

I closed my sleepy eyes and felt a lot lighter.

From the first day I ran to Langteng, his surprise turned into consternation. He couldn't bear to kill me. I knew that as long as I was more persistent than him, he would retreat.

Lang Xiao is not a stupid person, he knows that he must not be able to defeat the Great Prime Minister, and he was secretly helped by someone in the past, but now Duke Mu is helping the Emperor. Beauty, men are always very clear.

But I also know how pity Lang Xiao has for me, I can really persist until the moment I can't breathe.

He kissed me deeply, and said with some pain: "Why don't I always want to hurt you."

The kiss, he ended with his sigh, without touching me.

The army of Lang Teng retreated, and I was the only one left in the tent. In the dark, I was crying happily alone. I was also selfish in the end. Lang Xiao, I am the daughter of Da Xiangchao.It is a good thing not to commit another crime, regardless of whether it is in the northwest or in the prime minister.

It was Xia Juntang who rushed in. He saw that I was dying and was only smiling. He pulled down the curtain to cover me, fetched water in pain, and moistened my lips.

I just laughed and couldn't say a word. Only laughter is the best answer.

He carried me back to the northwest, his tears flowed on my face, burning my heart.

I touched his face with my fingers, and it was a familiar line.

I once thought that I want to spend my whole life with him, don't think about anything, just live my whole life seriously and happily, but as I know more and more, I know that I will eventually disappoint him. I like it, I can't, I can't be with him, so he never said, he has been silent, it is because of this silence that I want to know our past, and because I know more, And sad.

I am still a stranger to the emperor, and I still have a kind of unknown about the past, but I can know that it is impossible for me to be with him.

He laughed: "You said you promised me the next life, and I will seriously wait for the next life. As for now, don't be sad for Zhiqiu, this life belongs to your fate with him."

I hugged him tightly and wept in his arms.

"Xia Juntang, why didn't you fight, why didn't you marry me early?"

"You'll regret it," he said softly.

"But..." But wouldn't he regret it?

But he comforted me with a smile: "You have promised me the next life, so this life will always make me happy with the waiting for the next life."

I didn't say anything, maybe this is the only way, I like Xia Juntang, he also likes me, and we both know that it is impossible to be together.

Xi is my prince, I can't let him go, as long as the emperor has Xi in his hands, if he kills me again, I will go.

The resentment is that the fate is not deep enough, the resentment is that he thinks too much about my future, he is afraid that one day I will recover my memory, and I will not be able to let go of my two ends at the end, what a pain it is.

He didn't say anything along the way, sucking his warmth, that's all he could do. He didn't eat for a few days and his health was very poor. Before returning to the army in the northwest, he fainted from exhaustion.

After several days of raising her, her body got better, but she knew that there was no emperor in the northwest.

He was wounded, and Xi Ye fell ill, so he returned to the capital first. With the help of Mu Gonghou, he established power and appointed generals in the northwest, and used all the people he could trust to let Xia Juntang and several generals garrison the northwest, and the Lu family returned home. When he arrived in his southern territory, he no longer suppressed the northwest with heavy troops.

All he left me was a piece of letterhead, back to the capital.

I didn't say whether I want to go back, but Xia Juntang has already packed my things for me.

I watched him rushing in and out, feeling a little heavy in my heart.

"I will go back to see you during the new year. No matter where you are, the important thing is that you have a good time."

I shook my head: "I don't want to go back, I don't want to."

"Perhaps when you remember, the decision you made is the best one, Zhiqiu, I am ashamed, none of us emperor brothers can be reused, and we have no intention of political affairs, but we also forget that we are prime ministers." My lord, I'm ashamed, I don't think about the big picture, but the love between my son and daughter, which led to people stealing the space and trying to seize the Northwest Fortress. Don't worry, he will go back this time. Think it over."

"Then you don't want me?"

He smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want it, it's that I can't afford it."

"If I remember everything, I still think about you very much. Can I come to the northwest to find you again?"

He stepped forward and hugged me tightly: "Don't give me these hopes, hehe, Zhiqiu, let's go."

I don't cry, I turn my head every time, only to see him alone on the grassland alone.If I was by his side, he wouldn't be so lonely, Xia Juntang, why don't you fight, don't you think for yourself?
In the next life, no matter how far away, I hope that I can go back to the capital and remember everything. I will come back to the northwest.

Don't cry, let you see you will be heartbroken, only those who care about tears will care.But the tears at the time of parting, no matter how much I endured, my eyes were full.

I still returned to the capital in a carriage. The things and wrongs outside the capital slowly moved away. When I left the capital, I knew that it was full of scars.Now I want to go back, it is the place that belongs to my deepest memory.

Some panic, some confusion, I don't know what is facing me, the past is a blank sheet of paper, it doesn't mean I haven't experienced anything, it's just that I don't remember anything.

Sitting in the carriage was uncomfortable, and the time didn't pass as easily and quickly as when going to the northwest. Along the way, he kept asking questions like a curious baby.

I tilted my head and asked him with a smile why pear blossoms are white and why snow has no fragrance. He always faced my questions with tolerance. There are two wheels, because there are two people on the carriage, one wheel is me, and the other wheel is him. Only when the two are on the same level can they run fast and squeaky.

At that time, I blamed him for fooling me, but now I think there is someone who fooled me, but he is gone.

The more you know, perhaps as he said, the more hurt you will be.

But what happened, can it be regarded as not knowing?

When I returned to the capital, I opened the curtain and saw the golden palace. When I left, I also looked back. That generation had the most powerful place in the dynasty, because there lived an emperor, and the emperor was the world.

The carriage is still driving on the Qingshi Road in the capital, the sound of the wheels is drowned out by the noise of people, coming and going, all the faces are unfamiliar, how much I miss the red smiling faces in the northwest.

The carriage drove straight to the golden glazed roof, I didn't even have time to take a nap, and my mood was still flustered, so the guard said so.

Going down weakly, the first thing that caught my eye was the high red wall, it was really tall, the palace gate was written with silence and nobility, I rubbed my head and walked while supporting the palace wall, entering this The alley separated by the palace wall is another palace gate.

A few fathers-in-law and court ladies had been ordered to stay outside, and the guards whispered a few words, and those people came up to help me.

I shook my head lightly: "I will go by myself."

I let myself think about Xia Juntang along the way, I have been complaining about Xia Juntang for a long time, and now I am outside the red wall, I probably won’t be able to think about it after entering, I touched the spike on my chest, took a deep breath, Stepped in front of the palace gate where everyone bowed and bowed respectfully.

The palace is quiet and fragrant, and the flowers bloom like a sea in full bloom. Before I can move my eyes from the pink and purple, they are as white as snow. The flowers in the palace are so blooming. Even if I am the only one looking at it, it still greets me with the most beautiful style.

The maid pointed the way from behind, passed the pavilions, the flowers and the waterside pavilions, and finally arrived at a place.

The very small and beautiful palace was made after the one in the Northwest Army Camp, looking back at the pavilion.

"Miss, please." The maid asked respectfully.

I looked at the words but felt a little embarrassed, looking back, my face has changed and my heart is old, and the beauty borrowed a glass of strong wine to relieve her silence.Looking back, what has changed and what hasn't.

Going inside, it's similar to the layout in the northwest. Is he sure that I will follow his words and return to the capital?Because of Xi, because I no longer need to confirm anything, I am the daughter of Duke Mu, I used to be the emperor's concubine, and I am Xi's mother concubine.

But this is all the past, and then it was nothing, and then, when I came back, I was just a stranger.

The maid asked me to sit down, lit some incense, and then rubbed my brain with both hands.

The exhaustion all over my body seemed to be slightly less, and when I felt better, a court lady said in a low voice: "Miss, you can go to take a bath first, and let the servants massage your body with the essence extracted from hundreds of flowers, and then go to sleep. Once you sleep, you won’t have a headache and feel uncomfortable the next day.”

He really has a heart, and he can even inquire about my uncomfortable body after riding in a carriage, but does he know now, when I look at these strange people, I really want to escape, escape to the northwest and escape to Xia Juntang's side , the more people there are, the more gorgeous they are, the more lonely I feel.

Rejecting the maid's help, I went to wash myself and fell asleep smelling the incense.

When I fell asleep in the middle of the night, I felt that someone was watching me. One hand seemed to want to pull something on my chest. I grabbed the wolf tooth with the other hand and turned around to sleep.

Someone said softly: "I'll give you a good thing in exchange."

Hmph, I won’t exchange anything, Xia Juntang gave it to me, he said it can ward off disasters, and he personally beat the snow wolf in the northwest, for me, this is not something that can protect me It is so important that he gave me a token.
