in the sound of swallows

Chapter 199 Lovesickness Another Year

After waiting for two days, Gu Chaobei did not receive any news.

The generals behind him all wanted to persuade him to go back, it's not a problem to stand by the Li River, but the emperor didn't move, no matter what anyone said, he didn't respond.

The clever general ran back to Yecheng to invite the eldest prince. Ming Sigui sat in a wheelchair, looked at the vicissitudes of his father's back, and asked curiously, "Why doesn't father want to go back?"

Gu Chaobei turned his head stiffly, looked at him, his eyes were slightly red, he opened his mouth, and his voice sounded like a very wronged child: "Father has no one to wait for, Father doesn't want to go back and see the bed that has nothing left. "

Ming Sigui didn't understand, so the people behind pushed him to the side of Gu Chaobei's horse.

"I owe your mother too much." Gu Chaobei said in a low voice, "I've kept her waiting, I've been running for the country, but I haven't been able to spend long with her."

Ming Sigui nodded: "Father and Empress rarely spend time together."

Gu Chaobei smiled wryly: "Your mother must be angry, so when I can finally accompany her properly this time, she won't wait for me anymore."

Just for the last time, she didn't want to wait any longer.

This must be a punishment for him, punishing him to make her wait for half of her life, and for the rest of the time, he has to live alone, thinking about, thinking about, unable to ask for, and difficult to meet again.

Every day, he will live in the torment of lovesickness, he will think of her when he looks at the sachet, he will think of her when he looks at the palace, and he will even think of her when he looks at the swallows flying by.

In the sound of swallows, another year of lovesickness.

Gu Chaobei was about to cry out loud regardless of his image, and the eldest prince realized later: "The queen mother has not waited for the emperor father, isn't she still waiting in the eunuch's mansion?"

Slightly taken aback, the emperor looked sideways at his son: "What did you say?"

Ming Sigui repeated obediently: "The queen mother is waiting for you at the prefect's mansion."

The starlight lit up in the dead eyes, and the whole pupil was bright in an instant. Gu Chaobei's voice trembled, and he got off his horse and squatted in front of the eldest prince's wheelchair: "Is your mother alright? Are you alive?"

The eldest prince looked at him suspiciously: "When will the queen mother be busy? It's just that when the minister came out today, she was still sleeping."

Will the child believe it or not?The things in Gu Chaobei's chest throbbed rapidly.If he believed it, he might not be able to bear it in exchange for a disappointment.If you don't believe me...

Go back and have a look!

The emperor got on his horse hastily, and before he could say a word, he whipped his horse and disappeared quickly on the road.

It took a long time for a group of soldiers to come back to their senses, and hurriedly chased after them with the eldest prince.

When he came out, he told Imperial Physician Liu that if the queen was fine, he would come to tell him anytime, why no one came?Could it be that Huang'er was afraid that Huang'er would be sad, so no one told him the news, so Huang'er thought Yan'er was still there?
The horseshoes ran a bit slower, the emperor panted, looked at Yecheng ahead, and Vice General Zhang saluted at the gate of the city: "Welcome to the holy driver."

Children will not know the truth, but Vice General Zhang always knows, right?Gu Chaobei dismounted quickly, ran up to him and grabbed him: "How is the empress?"

Deputy General Zhang's face froze, and he turned his eyes away and said: "...The emperor should go to the prefect's mansion to have a look."

If he dared to look at it directly, would he have to go through so much trouble?The emperor was angry: "You tell me directly!"

His body trembled, Deputy General Zhang shook his head, tears welled up in his eyes, he opened his mouth to speak, but knelt down anyway.

With a sinking heart, Gu Chaobei stared at him, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.Stumbled towards the city.

The hope that the emperor gave him was finally shattered.He knew that he shouldn't listen to children, he knew it a long time ago.

"Your Majesty, get on your horse." Deputy General Zhang followed behind.

Gu Chaobei chuckled and shook his head: "I have to leave. You have enough time to let the queen travel far away. When I go back, I will hear the news that the queen has traveled far away. Do you understand?"

Vice General Zhang's eyes were red: "The emperor wants to send the empress away?"

What if you don't leave?Want him to go back and look at her lifeless look to confirm that she is no longer there?Gu Chaobei shook his head, he wouldn't do that, he was going to travel far away like a swallow, and lived in a peaceful corner of the world for the rest of his life.

"Go do it."

"But..." Vice Admiral Zhang said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty's life is hanging by a thread, and she finally recovered from it. It should not be suitable to move now."

Oh, take it easy... The emperor looks sad, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees and preparing to lament.

Ok?Slow down?With a jolt, Gu Chaobei turned around and grabbed Vice General Zhang's lapel: "Your Majesty, are you here?"

"Yes..." Deputy General Zhang said with a sad expression, "Your Majesty has suffered so much. She almost lost her breath in the past two days. She was dragged back from the gate of hell by Imperial Physician Liu."

Gu Chaobei took a deep breath and punched him on the chest: "Since you've recovered, why don't you tell me directly, and still have that look on your face?"

Vice General Zhang was so innocent, he took out his handkerchief and came out to wipe his face: "Because the empress is so pitiful..."

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, the emperor pushed him away, got on his horse and continued to run wildly without saying a word.

Yan'er is coming!Alive now!Gu Chaobei's handsome face was already distorted, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time.The horses under him should think that the emperor is crazy.

All the way to the prefect's mansion like the wind, the doctor Liu had just come out of the empress's room when Gu Chaobei knocked him against the wall on one side: "What's the matter?"

After asking this question, Gu Chaobei felt that it was not as good as he thought, so he rushed into the room again, leaving Imperial Physician Liu leaning against the wall alone in a daze.

The face of the person on the bed was still pale, but it was much better than before. The strong smell of medicine in the room actually made people feel at ease.

Touching her warm skin, Gu Chaobei collapsed on the side of the bed, exhausted all his strength, and immediately lay down on the side of the bed and fell asleep.

Standing by the Li River for two days, he still hasn't slept.

Vice General Zhang and Imperial Physician Liu glanced in at the door, looked at each other helplessly, and closed the door.

"How is the Queen's injury?" Deputy General Zhang asked.

Imperial Physician Liu said: "The fate of the soul is up to the heavens, but the heavens have always been good to the empress, so there should be no worries about life."

That's great, Vice General Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the blue sky and said, "We can return to Beijing when the empress's injury improves."

Physician Liu stroked his beard and smiled, he guessed that the emperor would reward him if he went back to Beijing, alas, back home with the domineering fourth young master who didn't understand the rules, he was absolutely right.

Shen Guiyan slept for a long time, and when she opened her eyes, she didn't know how many mornings it was outside, the sun came in from the window, and it was extremely warm.

"Are you awake?" Someone next to her looked at her with a straight face.

Shen Guiyan turned her head to look, this man was really good-looking, with coquettish brows, starry eyes, a thin lip pursed hard, and a warm halo glowing in the outline in the morning light.

Whose young man, now looks like a man.

Shen Guiyan smiled: "Your Majesty."

Gu Chaobei's face didn't have any waves, it was extremely stable.He reached out to help her up and leaned on her, and brought the medicine over: "Drink it first."

There was a tearing pain in the waist and abdomen, and Shen Guiyan was dripping with cold sweat while sitting, glancing at Gu Chaobei's calm appearance, he felt a little angry.

After all, he came back from the ghost gate, so couldn't this person be more enthusiastic?
Angrily drank all the medicine, she whispered: "I'm dizzy."

"Then sleep a little longer." Gu Chaobei said lightly.

You bastard, wouldn't you be gentler and feel sorry for her?Shen Guiyan lay down, feeling overwhelmed, and simply closed her eyes not to look at him.

When she was in a coma, she still had some sense of her surroundings. When she heard Gu Chaobei's voice, she knew that he was back, and she also knew that there was no need to worry about this city of Ye, and it must be able to survive.As she fell into the darkness, she was still thinking that she must frighten him.

Who knew that when he woke up, there was no surprise at all.

I'm so mad!Shen Guiyan was still weak, and when she closed her eyes, she fell asleep again.

Opening his eyes again, it was already noon outside, and the emperor was still sitting beside him, repeating the same words with a straight face: "Are you awake?"

Shen Guiyan was slightly stunned, looking at his tense face, for some reason, her anger suddenly disappeared.

"What have you been doing here?" She asked weakly in a hoarse voice.

Gu Chaobei tensed his chin, and said: "The things outside are over, and I don't need to go anywhere."

When I don't have to go anywhere, I just want to be by your side.

Physician Liu said that her body needs to be well maintained for half a month before it can improve. When she fell asleep, Gu Chaobei had already thought of many ways to heal her injuries.

He slept next to her bed all night yesterday, and when he woke up, he found that the place where he was leaning on was soaked.

This is really embarrassing, he is a majestic emperor anyway, if Yan'er finds out, he will probably feel that he is weak.

So watching her wake up today, Gu Chaobei put on a stern face like bacon, planning to never change his face even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

Shen Guiyan looked at him for a while, then suddenly her expression changed, and she let out an "ouch".

"What's wrong?!" Gu Chaobei was so frightened that he almost jumped up, hurriedly grabbed her hand, turned his head and shouted outside: "Doctor Liu!"

It was agreed not to change color, but now his face was flushed with anxiety.

Physician Liu came in to check in a hurry, Shen Guiyan was weak and weak, but she was smiling while covering her face.

"Your majesty, the empress's injury seems to be getting better again, thanks to you who have been guarding these days." Imperial Physician Liu saw through the empress, coughed lightly, and said so.

Gu Chaobei looked at Shen Guiyan with lingering fear: "Is the injury on your body okay?"

Shen Guiyan put down her hands, the smile in her eyes still lingering: "It's okay, everything has been bandaged."

The big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and the emperor regained his bacon face: "It's fine."

Looking at him jokingly, Shen Guiyan took his hand and squeezed it lightly.
