There was blood at the corner of his mouth, but a relieved smile on his face suddenly flashed before his eyes.
The new emperor Xu Jinghuai suddenly woke up.
Then, he wiped the food towards the corner of his mouth as if it were a conditioned reflex, and looked at his hands again.
There was nothing, no blood.
But the scene just now was so real, as if he had experienced it personally, and it was a mixture of heartache, sadness, relief, happiness, and all kinds of complex emotions.
It seemed as if they all came from his bones.
He hadn't had such a dream for a long time. The last time was before he set out for the border expedition, when he was in a coma for seven days and seven nights.
At that time, he could still call it a dream.
Because it was too unreal and too bizarre, the images shattered in his dreams, and he was like a witness to a series of sad and beautiful stories.
But just now, he could really feel it.
In those stories, the protagonist with a face that looks exactly like his is himself.
Just when he felt he was about to crawl into the shell, he suddenly woke up.
Now, he holds the memorial in his hand, feeling a huge emptiness in his heart. For some reason, he always feels that he has forgotten something.
Forgot something very important.
This thing seemed to be the meaning of his existence in this life, the meaning of his living in this world.
What is it...
He covered his forehead, still unable to figure it out.
He stood up and pushed open the window frame, and the watery moonlight poured down and fell into his world.
The night was dim under the stars and lanterns. The guards were walking back and forth outside the palace gate. The cool autumn wind rustled the flowers, plants and trees, and also blew his long black hair.
Hairbands flying.
The warmth brought by the cloak on my body also disappeared into the autumn air with the wind.
He remembered Yan Yunshu's gentle words when he first ascended the throne, "Your Majesty, serve yourself first, then your country, and then your family."
"Your Majesty, if you don't think about yourself first, how can you think about others?"
The wind blew on his face, and his eyebrows moved slightly.
Miss her.
The longing that had been suppressed for several days burst out like this.
Boundless and seamless, it invaded every inch of space and every breath of his.
They enveloped him, following him like a shadow, almost suffocating him.
……
Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
When Yan Yunshu woke up from a short nap, she saw Xiulian sitting beside her with her eyes closed, supporting her cheeks, while Yingfeng was standing in front of the door with a sword in his arms. His eyes were dark and he was trying hard to keep them closed.
"Did anything else happen while I was sleeping?"
Seeing Yan Yunshu wake up, Ying Feng hurried to her side and replied, "Nothing happened in the second half of the night, but there was some movement in the main hall of the Marquis' Mansion at midnight."
When Yan Yunshu heard this, she was shocked and asked, "What happened?"
She got up from the recliner, and Xiulian also woke up from her sleep. She quickly got up and supported Yan Yunshu.
"Girl, what happened?"
Yan Yunshu looked at Yingfeng.
Ying Feng said, "My subordinates reported that General Wen has returned from the palace. He said he would prepare his luggage and lead the army to Maple Forest City today."
"Are we going to...attack Maple Forest City?"
Yan Yunshu's beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned.
When they were about to attack Fenglin City, the person leading the army was not Xu Jinghuai, but his uncle General Wen.
But everything is obviously compared. How can the protagonist of such a major event be easily replaced?
Something is wrong, something is still wrong...
"Shadow Wind, where is His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty..." Ying Feng pondered for a moment, "In Maple Forest City, Your Majesty originally wanted to lead the battle himself, but for some reason, he decided to appoint General Wen today."
Yan Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
In this life, just like the previous one, Fenglin City is full of rebels. In fact, it is even worse than that. In addition to Xu Jingye’s original rebels, there are also rebels from Hansha Country.
The combination of the two will definitely make them jealous of the new emperor Tianze.
As soon as Xu Jinghuai shows up, he will become a living target. In his previous life, he had finally captured Xu Jingye alive in this dangerous battlefield and put an end to the war, but in this life, he faced double attacks and hatred.
How could he still face it with the same confidence as before and carve out a way to survive from the countless sword lights and blood shadows?
While fighting for his life, he still had to spare Xu Jingye's life and capture him alive?
Xu Jinghuai...
Yan Yunshu raised her eyes and looked towards the imperial city.
In the previous life, you risked your life just because of that sentence: I am willing to use your life in exchange for my rebirth. Since you have exchanged it for my rebirth, your death has become inevitable. So, you even have to use your life to radiate the last bit of light and heat for me.
Xu Jinghuai, in this life, my rebirth was obtained from Lingxu Lake, and has nothing to do with you. So, this time, will you hide it from me again and die again?
I don’t think so... After all, there is no reason to die anymore, right?
But why do I still feel uneasy?
"Your Majesty, do you know what happened last night?"
"My lady, Yingfeng managed to send a letter to His Majesty last night, but has yet to receive a reply from His Majesty."
"How did you send the letter?"
"Right now, the people of the capital are in a state of panic. Even those close to him dare not trust anyone. Therefore, Yingfeng sent the message via the usual carrier pigeons that Yingfeng and His Majesty use."
"Homing pigeon?"
Yan Yunshu looked up at the sky.
I remembered the well-trained crow from last night, whose eyes were strangely familiar.
She kept trying to recall where she had seen that familiar gaze, but she had been very sleepy for the past few days and her mind had lost its former alertness. Even if she desperately searched her memory now, she could not find any trace of it.
"If the letter has been sent, why hasn't there been a response yet?"
Yingfeng looked around the yard vigilantly and finally realized that something was wrong.
At this time, the sky was dawning and the wind was cool.
The three people's nerves began to tense up again.
Little Radish was nestling restlessly in Yan Yunshu's arms. Its two furry ears, which usually drooped, were now standing up alertly.
Suddenly, the courtyard door opened.
A crunch.
Yan Yunshu held the little carrot in one hand and held the hidden weapon tightly in the other.
Yingfeng quickly turned off the lights in the house, drew his sword, and immediately protected Yan Yunshu. Xiulian quickly stood by Yan Yunshu's side and took the little radish from Yan Yunshu's arms.
At this time, Ji Dian, who was lying on the ground, was conscious but still unable to move, and looked at the gate helplessly.
As Yan Yunshu's secret guard, he has awakened the consciousness to protect Yan Yunshu, but he cannot help it. He also knows that although the girl is righteous, she is very cautious and it is impossible for her to trust him anymore. He feels extremely regretful in his heart.
As the footsteps got closer, he became restless and moved his body desperately, and finally his fingers could move a little.
As his footsteps approached the bedroom, he could only stare blankly behind the screen.
The house was dead silent.
