Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2244

Shi Anxia was unusually anxious, "Didn't they say Yi Yi was coming back? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

While stroking Ye Bao'er's fur, she instructed, "Dong Xi, go out of the city to meet him and ask him to come back quickly."

"I'll go!" Cen Yuan stood up, rubbed Ye Baoer's head, and said softly, "Wait a moment, I'll go find Yi Yi for you."

Ye Bao'er's tail swayed with great difficulty and barely perceptibly on the brocade cushion. His eyes, which had been covered with a thin film by time, finally slowly opened a crack.

Just this glimmer of light made Shi Anxue, Hong Que and others who were standing by cover their mouths instantly, and suppressed sobs leaked out from between their fingers.

Ye Baoer lay on his side on the warm couch by the window. The spring afternoon sunlight shone through the window lattice, sprinkling his no longer smooth and shiny fur like gold powder.

The spots of light were jumping, but it felt a chill in its bones.

It knew it was time.

It has lingered in this warm world for a full twenty-one years, which is a rare longevity among dogs.

In the last two years, injuries have entangled its aging body like vines, and every breath is filled with heavy fatigue.

But it still struggled to hold on, using up its last bit of strength, greedily sniffing the familiar scent in the air and feeling the warmth of the people around it.

Because here, there are people whom he has devoted his whole life to loving and protecting.

The faces it had seen since childhood were now filled with reluctance and sadness.

Ye Baoer gathered all his strength and uttered a faint sound from the depths of his throat, "Woof..."

The voice was as soft as a sigh, yet strangely filled with joy. It was as if saying, "Don't cry. It's so nice to be able to look at you like this."

It personally accompanied Shi Anxue to her wedding; it was injured by Luo Ying and almost died prematurely while saving Luo Bing; it personally dragged Princess Mu Sang ashore from the river. It is a truly well-behaved "dog official".

Its life was full of splendor. It was a pity that it didn't get to see the red magpie get married.

That bastard named Tang Xinghe is so disappointing... But it knows that one day, Hongque will still marry that bastard.

Ye Baoer tried hard to open her eyes wide, letting her blurry vision slowly sweep across every tear-stained face beside the couch.

Shi Anxia, ​​Beihui, Xiyue, Dongzhi, Nanyan, Hongque, Musang, Shi Anxue, Erer and Sansan, and many more people came and surrounded it.

It's so happy.

Suddenly, a familiar sound of footsteps came from afar, so hurried, so enthusiastic, beating like drums in the silent temple.

Ye Baoer trembled violently, and his originally limp body miraculously stood up.

Suddenly, an astonishing light burst out from the cloudy eyes.

Yes, one by one!

They are back one by one!

Its shriveled chest heaved violently, and a discordant whimper came from its throat, but its tail shook with all its might like a dead branch coming back to life in spring.

All the fatigue and pain were washed away by ecstasy at this moment.

Yi Yi is back!

It finally waited for Yi Yi!

It has no regrets anymore!

Alas, a bitter sigh rose in its heart. It was really old and useless.

If it were in the past, when Yi Yi was still on the long bluestone corridor outside the palace gate, it would have pricked up its ears and rushed to greet him excitedly.

But now, its ears had to wait until the footsteps almost reached the couch and the familiar breath hit its face before it slowly realized that its little master had returned.

But this belated knowledge did not diminish its ecstasy in the slightest.

It used up all its remaining strength to raise its head high, trying to see more clearly.

As the light and shadow flickered, the tall figure of a young boy caught my eye.

He was still wearing cold black armor, with undried mud spots on his shoulder armor, and the breastplate on his chest reflected the golden sunlight. He didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and just like that, he threw himself in front of the bed with a tired and dusty look.

The boy held it and almost choked, "Night baby..."

Hey, he calls it baby.

In fact, he is its baby.

When he was very young, it liked to sneak over to play with him.

It can be said that the boy grew up under its care.
