Chapter 356 Goodbye
Zhou Shuxuan didn't sleep all night.

I used to be unable to sleep because of being busy or uncomfortable, but this is the first time I could not sleep because of being happy.

After Hey Miaoli finished drinking the medicine, he stayed by the bed, staring at her without turning his eyes, for fear that she would disappear.I'm afraid that this is a beautiful but unrealistic dream, as long as he closes his eyes, everything will go back to the way it was before.

Miao Li felt helpless being stared at by him. Under such gaze, she couldn't sleep. She sighed in her heart and asked: "What are you looking at? Don't keep staring at me like this, I will disappear. "

Zhou Shuxuan sat upright, still staring at her intently, muttering, "No, no, I must watch you, otherwise this dream will wake up when I'm not paying attention."

He was still immersed in surprise and couldn't get out for a while.It came too suddenly, it still felt like a dream, and I still couldn't believe that I had made it through.

I explained it to him many times, and told him that it was really not a dream, but he still didn't believe it, and Miao Li couldn't do anything about it.

Seeing that his hair looks a little damp, it is not completely dry, it should be him who saved himself.After saving her, he still set her free, probably because he was really frightened, so he didn't even bother to tidy up himself.

In fact, this time, she really didn't do it on purpose, she was really drunk and in a trance, and she didn't even know how she fell.But I never thought it was real.

Fortunately, she is really lucky.Only then did she narrowly escape death again and again, and still have a relatively satisfactory result.What happened in the past is indelible, she can only make herself not to think about it deliberately.

Seeing these things in his room without any warning, he suddenly thought about it.After listening to what he said afterwards, I forgave him even more thoroughly.

Everyone has their difficulties, and those things can't all be blamed on him.He has been working very hard to make up for it, to make amends, and to use all kinds of methods.Be careful to please, indulge, force, basically do everything that can be done.

In the end, I really felt that there was no hope, and I was willing to let her go.Knowing that his heart should be full of reluctance, but he can still force himself to say those cruel words.

Even if she regains her freedom, it is impossible for her to meet someone who treats her as well as possible. For her sake, even if she adopts a child without any problems, she is unwilling to have one with others.She may not be able to meet such an ordinary man, let alone an emperor.

There is also the most important question, no matter how much she complains, she can't let it go.Although she didn't want to admit it, it was indeed an indisputable fact.

It's all right now, it's finally getting better.

Miaoli got up from the bed, picked up the cotton cloth that was put aside to help him wipe his hair, and dried it quickly so that he could lie on the bed and sleep.Zhou Shuxuan looked flustered, "No, just lie down and do it in a while."

Miao Li sat on the bed and explained seriously, "But you don't go to bed all the time, so I can't sleep. The room is brighter than daytime, so I can't sleep."

Zhou Shu declared that it seemed to be true, took the cotton cloth in her hand, and let her lie back, "Then I'll go out right away, you sleep well."

"What are you doing out so late?"

"I'll go to the side hall to lie down for a while." Zhou Shuxuan helped her tuck the quilt, as if remembering something, and said with an explanation, "It's almost morning time, I will definitely disturb you when I get up later, You sleep a little longer."

Afraid that she would think too much, thinking that he didn't want to sleep with her.It is time to nip every misunderstanding in the bud, and they cannot have any more.

With such a cautious appearance, Miao Li felt uncomfortable and distressed.But this is only the first night, and after a long time, he will definitely change it.

Miao Li nodded and said: "Okay, you should also have a good rest."

Miao Li watched him go out, lay on the bed and continued to look at the dragon and the phoenix.She might be the first person to drive the emperor to the side hall to sleep, this feeling is really indescribable.

Zhou Shuxuan stared until dawn, but he was not tired at all.People are highly excited and look better than when they are full of sleep.

Miao Li's congratulations to him yesterday all came true, and his wishes come true, everything goes well, and he has nothing to ask for.

Wei Hai glanced up secretly, and saw that he had been spat out, as if he was too excited.Could it be because he was going to Xichang Mansion?
It is understandable to be a little excited, because there are many beauties over there, what is the emperor so excited about?
Wei Hai didn't quite understand, but he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the chariots and horses have been prepared, and we can set off today."

departure?

Zhou Shuxuan asked, "Where are you going?"

"Xichang Mansion, didn't the emperor say that we will leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival? Now that everything is ready, the account of the household department will be cleared in the morning, and the emperor can start in the afternoon."

Zhou Shuxuan now remembered that he was indeed going to Xichang Mansion soon, and he had conquered a place. He had to go and see it, and the time was set by himself.Wei Hai and the others also persuaded him not to arrange so tightly.He thought about the passing of time little by little, winter is coming soon.It will take some time to go back and forth, and if the delay continues, it may not be able to catch up with next year's spring plowing.

Compared with the borderlands like Xichang, he still had to guard the fertile soil of the Central Plains first.

But he didn't expect that something great would happen on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, they reconciled as before, and the first thing they faced was parting, as if someone was playing with him.

However, it has been properly arranged. If we don't leave today, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources.After fighting for so long, there is not much money left in the treasury, so he can no longer be allowed to squander it.

Zhou Shuxuan was very reluctant and could only say: "Then go to court early today, and if you have anything to do, you can write a note and hand it over. I will go back and prepare. The account of the household department will be settled and handed over to me immediately."

After saying a few more words, the court ended.

Zhou Shuxuan couldn't wait to run to Longde Hall, wanting to go back and tell Miaoli about it.The thought of being separated made him feel uncomfortable.

Miao Li just got up now, she usually sleeps very late and wakes up very late, and she has gradually developed a habit.I just had breakfast, and now I'm about to take my medicine.

In the past few years, the medicine she drank might have to be bottled, and she was really afraid of drinking it.Now he is playing tricks on Mammy Xi, "Mommy, I don't think there is anything wrong with me, and I don't need to take medicine at all."

"If there is nothing wrong with your empress, how can the imperial physician prescribe medicine for your empress?"

"That's why they prescribed some dispensable medicine in order to deal with the emperor. The medicine is three-point poisonous, and it's really not good to drink too much medicine."

Mother Xi bent her knees and knelt on the ground, "Yesterday, the maidservant didn't take good care of her, so she fell into the water. The lady has to drink medicine now. The lady must be blaming the maidservant in her heart. The maidservant should just kill the maidservant."

"No, no, I really didn't mean that, can I still drink it?"

Mother Xi looked up at her, and Miao Li reluctantly picked up the medicine bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhou Shuxuan walked over with a smile and witnessed everything just now. The people around her fought wits and bravely with her, knowing how to make her obedient, they should be able to take good care of her.

Then he can rest assured that there may not be many problems in leaving for a while.

Zhou Shuxuan went over to sit down, pinched a candied date and put it in her mouth, Miao Li asked vaguely, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"Come back and pack up my things. I'm leaving for Xichang this afternoon. It's been decided before that I'll leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

That's right, she definitely didn't consider her reluctance in the previous decision.After all, before last night, she was indifferent to where others were, wishing that he was not in the palace.

"Then how long are you going?"

"I don't know either. It may take a while to travel back and forth, plus looking around."

There is still a distance between Xichang and the capital, and it is impossible for him to rush as hard as the eldest princess and the others. It will probably take more than a month to go back and forth.If you still have to look around, it will take two or three months.

Miao Li counted the time and said, "When you come back, it will be almost New Year's Eve."

"It should be after the beginning of spring. The plan is to look around, so it will take longer."

Miaoli nodded, Xichang has such a big place after all. "It's getting colder and colder. It seems to be colder there than in the capital. You have to be careful not to catch the wind and cold, and you can wear more clothes. It may be uncomfortable. It's best to bring an imperial doctor there. And it's impossible for everyone to surrender. Now, you'd better bring more guards and be careful."

Zhou Shuxuan watched her rambling speech, every sentence was for him.If it wasn't for the long journey, bumpy journey, and her poor health, he really wanted to take her with him.

Miao Li thought about it carefully, and seemed to have nothing to ask.There are people around him who will take care of him, and they will definitely help him think of these things. At most, she just reminds him. "It seems that there is nothing to say, anyway, you should be careful in everything."

Zhou Shuxuan asked with a smile: "Is there really no order?"

"That's all I can think of." Miao Li tilted her head and thought for a while, "Don't be too tired, pay attention to rest."

"You have considered so many issues, but you have not considered a very serious issue."

"what?"

"I miss you, what should I do?"

Miao Li thought about it carefully, and gave him an answer seriously, "Hold on!"

Otherwise, what else can be done, the difference that cannot be changed, he has to go.

Zhou Shuxuan took a very long time this time, and this trip was much longer than they imagined.It is expected that I will be able to come back in spring at the latest, but I didn't expect it to get hotter.The cicadas were singing incessantly on the tree, and he had just returned to the capital since summer had come.

When he returned to the capital, he didn't rest for a moment, and continued to work on government affairs.
