Chapter 77

Sima Yu dreamed of Ari again.

It is rare to see such a big snowstorm in Jianye City, it is so vast that it almost blinds people's sight.

But he still saw Ahri standing in front of the hall in a scarlet cloak, looking at the sky with his soft black eyes.She stretched out her hand, as if there were flowers blooming in the snow.

The palace man reminded her, she turned her head and saw him, she smiled at him, and then fell down slowly in front of him.

She has been sick for some days, and this weather should not be out.

Sima Yu hurried forward to pick her up, wanting to carry her back to the warm room.She will feel better that way.She was always tossing and tossing so repeatedly. The imperial physicians had said earlier that she should take a good rest.But she couldn't lie down all the time, and kept wanting to see more things.

After staying in the palace for so many years, she was really suffocated.Sima Yu planned to take her to Kunming Lake to relax when the next spring was warm and her health improved.

It's time to take her there, I've been talking about it for so many years.It's just that with the recovery of large areas of the homeland in recent years, the ensuing recruitment, household registration, laws, and self-cultivation have to be dealt with as soon as possible, and there is really no time for a good rest.

Last month, Murong Juan died again, and the court and central government were preparing to launch a general attack on the Yan Kingdom.Sima Yu planned to move the capital back to Luoyang if he won this battle.Even if it fails, the capital must be moved to the north to unify the overall plan.Next spring will indeed be the last chance to visit Jianye.

He hugged Ari and was about to speak, but his voice was suddenly choked in his throat.

——Ari's eyes widened in a daze, and he raised his hand to touch his face, but failed to find it several times.

She was out of sight.

Sima Yu suddenly became flustered, he hurriedly grabbed Ari's hand and pressed it to his face.He felt cold all over, and even his voice was frozen.

"Ah...don't be sad," he heard Ari call his name, "take me to Luoyang to see." She said, as if she had expected her own end, and just wanted to find something to replace After realizing her weight in Sima Yu's heart, he will be able to leave without regret, "...Take me to Luoyang, Ah Yao, don't forget..."

She seemed to be nostalgic for something, and seemed to have finally let it go, she quietly closed her eyes in Sima Yu's arms.

"Ali."

Heavy snow was flying, and everything was silent.The voices of the whole world are swallowed up.

"Ari, Ari?"

He said her name silently, his mouth grew wide, and he wanted to scream and cry.But there is no sound.He couldn't make a sound.

All he felt was a suffocating silence, and even his breathing was heavy and silent.

Sima Yu woke up from the dream, grabbed his chest and gasped hard.

The wind whistled outside, the huge moon hung on the reeds, the stars were sparse and cold, and outside the tent, there were autumn insects that had not hijacked in winter and were chirping coldly.Sima Yu got up from the blanket, and the armor on his body was still on, so he didn't even need to put on clothes.

He came out of the tent and said to the guards outside: "Send down the order and pull out the camp."

He moved too fast, and now there are only two bodyguards and five hundred soldiers sent by Xie Lian.However, even these strong and strong soldiers were a little overwhelmed with fatigue, so they gently persuaded: "It's been two days, and you can't sleep for an hour..."

Sima Yu rushed back to Jianye before dawn.

At that time Ahri was sleeping soundly, when he suddenly heard commotion outside.Putting on her clothes hastily, without even tidying up her makeup, she went outside.

Just like Sima Yu's evil ghost, with his iron armor clanging, bloodshot eyes and stubble on his face, he broke into the yard, the sword on his waist was not removed.

Startled first.There was no time to ask him, so he rushed forward to support him, and said: "Come here, help His Highness enter the house."

Sima Yu grabbed her wrist.

"Ah Li." He seemed to want to laugh, but his lips were dry and chapped, so he couldn't smile, he just said, "I knew it was all fake..."

Leaving a vague sentence, once the body relaxes, it can no longer hold on.He fell into Ari's arms.

Sima Yu couldn't tell whether it was in a dream or in reality.

It was like a repeat of the previous nightmare, but there was something different about it.

Ari lay in his arms, still haggard and indifferent.She took a sip of water from the cup in Sima Yu's hand, and Sima Yu got off the bed to fetch the medicine. She shook her head and held his hand.

She buried her head in his arms and said softly, "Ah Yao, come up and lie down, and hug me."

……

It's all fake, Sima Yu told himself, don't listen to her, she lied to you.

But in the dream, he still listened to her, and slowly hugged her into his arms, "Ah Li..." he said, "Don't worry about the child, it will be fine for the two of us..."

She seemed to sigh slightly.

Sima Yu tried harder to assure, "It doesn't matter to the child in the future..." Tears flowed quietly from his eyes, "I don't want it anymore, Ari, I don't want it anymore. As long as you are by my side, that's enough... Ari?"

But no one will answer him again.

But this time, he seemed to have expected the ending.So he didn't say anything, didn't even try to struggle.He just leaned over and kissed Ahri's hair lightly, and pulled her into his arms even harder.

He tried hard to fall asleep, wanting the nightmare to end at this moment.Just take a nap, and Ahri will pinch his nose and watch him wake up with a smile.

But the imperial doctor rushed over earlier than Sleeping.

A group of people desperately tried to separate him from Ari.He roared like a wild beast, ordering them all to get out.But everyone is saying, "The princess is dead", forcing him to recognize the reality.He didn't want to hear it any more, the voices were still stacked together, rushing into his mind like a sea wave...

Ah Li moistened Sima Yu's lips with water on his chopsticks.

He looked so scary when he came back, Ari couldn't even guess what happened to the front line that made him come back in such a panic or in a hurry
——Wang Yan had already written to her about Sima Yu's return to Jianye, but Sima Yu rushed faster than the postman who delivered the letter.Ari naturally has no way of knowing.

She has already ordered someone to wait in front of the Shigan Hall, and report to the emperor when he gets up.

He himself was taking care of Sima Yu's bed.Because in the first episode, Sima Yu had a serious illness after rushing back for Zuo Jiasi, this time the situation made her feel uneasy.She didn't care too much about avoiding taboos, and had already sent someone to pass on Rong Ke and the imperial physician to check the pulse.

Sima Yu was talking nonsense in his dream.

Ari wanted to put down the cup and hug him to comfort him, but his wrist was grabbed.Half a glass of water was spilled on him.

Sima Yu struggled desperately, looking like he wanted to speak but couldn't.Only then did Ari realize that he had had too many nightmares in the past six months.

She leaned over to hug him, stroked, kissed, and whispered comfort in his ear.He couldn't help but looked out the window anxiously.

The sky was dark and blue, the moon had sunk, but it was still early before sunrise.It is the quietest time.

Luoyang... It's strange, Sima Yu has never been to Luoyang in his life, but he recognized it at the first sight.

The army is stationed.Sima Yu climbed the mountain and looked into the distance.The trees are lined up, the pines and cypresses are like clouds, and the autumn wind blows the leaves.The mountains are stretching and the Luoshui is vast, like two giant dragons sleeping.The scenery in the north always has a greatness in the roughness, and the ancient sentiment is rarely seen in the landscapes of the south of the Yangtze River.He sat down on the rock with a sword in his hand, and asked the historian beside him, "Where is this?"

"Your Majesty, it is Mount Mang." The historian replied, "It is said that it is the place where Lao Tzu made alchemy. Empress Xiaozhuang was also buried here."

Sima Yu thought about it blankly, and vaguely remembered that Taifu Xie had told him.When Empress Xiaozhuang was buried, she turned into colorful rays of light, so only her clothes are buried here.

While thinking about it, he casually pointed to a mountain and said, "After I die, I will be buried there."

Immediately kneeling on all sides, the courtiers followed.It is indeed unlucky for him to talk about life and death in vain before he is thirty years old.

But Sima Yu didn't pay attention, he just remained indifferent, and then ordered, "Bring...the remains of Empress Xiaojia and bury them with me. She said she wanted to come and see Luoyang."

The people around kowtowed their heads even more deeply.

The colorful rays of light scattered like a giant phoenix.Sima Yu stood in front of Ari's coffin, his eyes wide open blankly.

He didn't think of anything until the glow was gone, and he pointed at the coffin like crazy, "Open it, open it for me! Open it!"

Back then he was the one who told Ari to carry her in.He guarded her for a month, and he knew better than anyone else that Ari would never wake up again.He remembered that when he was buried, he cut his wrist and made a mark on Ari's forehead, "If there is an afterlife... wait for me to find you."

No matter what Ari becomes, he will remember her.

People around frantically searched for crowbars, and finally said in front of him that the nailed coffin had been opened.

It's empty...not quite empty.Her clothes are still there, the one that Sima Yu personally put on for her.

He seemed to understand something in a trance.

So when he saw the colorful phoenix again, he just watched indifferently.Then he bent down and picked up the two mud tigers inside, and threw them down the Mang Mountain.

Yes, he thought, this is not a dream at all.He really was real and lived through all of this twice.

Now, is it the third time?
