Eastward Flow

Zhong Limu cried for a while and finally stopped, so he stopped crying to Zhong Lisuo. He looked at the young man who was much younger than he remembered, and asked carefully, "Sister, the Zhenbeihou family treats you okay?"

Zhong Lisuo looked at him like an elder, and replied softly, "I'm originally the son of Zhenbei Hou, how can I be bad? My parents are loving, my elder sister is caring, everything is fine. Miki, I'm at ease now."

Zhong Limu nodded and said, "I'm confused." He had a lot to say to Zhong Lisuo in his mind, so he poured it all out, "Sister, you set fire to Fengxian Temple, but because of the poison in your body , can’t go north?”

When Zhong Lisuo heard this, he looked at Zhong Limu in surprise, and asked, "How do you know about this?"

As soon as Zhong Limu heard this, he knew that what he was investigating was true, and he couldn't help but feel sad for Zhong Lisuo again, "I was assassinated last year in winter, and almost got poisoned like my sister." He will investigate I told Zhong Lisuo the truth one by one, and said, "The little medical worker and guard are taking my injured guard to the southern border to heal his wounds, and the residual poison will take a summer to clear."

Only then did Zhong Lisuo feel relieved, and said to him, "That's fine, as long as you're fine."

"Sister, why didn't you tell us about your poisoning?" Zhong Limu couldn't help but feel aggrieved when he thought of how sad he was when he learned the truth later, and now seeing the real person.

"I only found out about the poisoning in the summer. Master Zhuang Zili has been actively dispensing medicine for me in order to find out the cause of the disease, so I thought there should be hope." Zhong Lisuo recalled those memories that seemed vague and distant, and looked in front of him Zhong Limu said slowly: "You also know that when the empress goes north, the court is unstable, and there are many people peeping in the dark. If I am ill, I am afraid that the palace will change, and there will be no one to help the empress."

This is why she tried her best to hide the poison in her body.

"Sanmu, logically speaking, if I die, you should inherit the throne." She looked at Zhong Limu in front of her, and asked sincerely, "But I gave up my position to the queen, can you blame me?"

Zhong Limu shook his head and said, "Sister, I have no intention of inheriting the throne. The emperor's sister-in-law is one with your empress. It is only natural that you give her the position."

"Not all." Zhong Lisuo thought about his original plan, and said to Zhong Limu: "When the queen married me, Jian Tiansi gave her orders. She is the lord of destiny, and I will give the position to you." She is the destiny."

She explained what she did, and Zhong Limo nodded knowingly, "Sister-in-law is diligent in political affairs, serving the country and the people, she is indeed a good emperor."

"Sister, you chose the emperor's sister-in-law, and you chose the right one." Zhong Limu said, sincerely happy for Zhong Lisuo, "Now that you are alive, sister, the emperor's wife doesn't have to worry about the wedding. Sister, Since you left, the ministers have been eyeing the imperial wife's position in the middle palace, and some people have taken my idea."

Zhong Limu complained, and said frankly in front of those close to him: "Some nobles in Yuanzhou are still determined to lure me into the Zhong Palace so that they can restore Chu. But they don't want to restore Chu. Take your place."

Although Zhong Limu has a pure nature, his sense of political affairs is not that low.Zhong lisuo knew it well, so he naturally thought that such a thing would happen.She nodded, and Zhong Limu continued to say: "Sister, you are back, let's go and tell the emperor's wife. She likes you so much, and you are destined to be husband and wife. Everything will be fine if you enter the middle palace. She is already dead, but the status of a sister in the middle palace is equally honorable."

He thought very well and wished that the two could continue their relationship.

When Zhong Lisuo heard that she liked you so much, he couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, but looking at Zhong Limu's hopeful face, he couldn't help but said: "If you want to recognize the queen, it's not that simple."

Zhong Limu thought very simply, "Why not? Sister, for your sake, the emperor's sister-in-law sent Si Ming to look for Zhong Licheng everywhere. You don't know, when I asked her to investigate this matter, the emperor's wife cried."

"The emperor's sister-in-law looked soft before, but she has never been so weak." Zhong Limu looked at the slightly immature elder sister in front of him, and said, "Sister, the emperor's sister-in-law has you in her heart. You just need to tell her, She'll believe in anything like I do."

"Sister, sister-in-law Huang is alone now, and An An said that she has no one who is close to her eyes, do you really want to reconnect with her?

When Zhong Limu said this, Zhong Lisuo was stunned again.So, did she really cry for me?She thought about her heartache, but felt a little sad, and after a while she said, "I thought about it. But Miki, I can't do this rashly. It will scare her."

When she thought of what the queen said in Chun Ri, her heart was filled with the idea that the queen did not believe in the resurrection of the soul.Now if you want to explain to the queen, you can only induce her step by step.

So she and Zhong Limu said, "Do you still remember the score I gave you today?"

Zhong Limu nodded, and listened to Zhong Lisuo continue to say: "I'm still alive, and you don't need to offer incense to me anymore. On August [-]th, His Majesty will have a banquet for the ministers and envoys going north in the Xishan Palace. Then the day before , you dedicate the composition to His Majesty, and say it is my posthumous work."

"August [-]th, the night of the full moon, suitable for reunion." Zhong Lisuo said his plan, and asked with a smile: "Sanmu, do you still remember the cloud song that the princess taught us?"

Zhong Limu nodded, "Of course I remember, which one of my men and women in Yunzhou can't dance Yunge."

This is a very old Yunzhou song, lingering and atmospheric, and it is also a song and dance to express love.

Not only did Zhong Lisuo want to recognize the queen, but she also wanted to tell her her love that she had never revealed before.So she opened her mouth and said to Zhong Limu: "That Sanmu, on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, accompany me to present a song of Yunge to His Majesty."

Zhong Limu's eyes lit up instantly, looking at the immature elder sister in front of him, he nodded vigorously.

The two finalized the matter, and Zhong Limu took his sister to talk for a long time.Zhong Limu explained his plans for recent years. He would propose to Xuan Jingchen to marry Xuan Jingan at the end of the year, and return to Yunzhou to live a peaceful life together.

But now that he learned that Zhong Lisuo was still alive, he said that he would ask for marriage after she and Xuan Jingchen got married.No matter what, Zhong lisuo will always be the best sister in his heart.The longing for the bright future in his tone made Zhong Lisuo's mind fluctuate, and he couldn't help thinking along with him.

"Sister, since you are still alive and young, you must live a happy life in the future." Zhong Limu thought about her hardworking appearance before, and couldn't help but persuade: "Don't work so hard, you don't need to work so hard anymore. Sister, the emperor's sister-in-law has managed the country very well, you just need to live a good life."

"By the way, I heard that your health is not very good. How is it now? Is it better than the previous one?"

Zhong Limu's tone was full of infinite curiosity and worry, and Zhong Lisuo answered him one by one, "You are alive and strong, and your body is still growing. I have grown taller than I have been since I woke up this year."

Zhong Limu nodded, "That's good, young and strong, you don't have to be bullied by the emperor's wife all the time."

Zhong Lisuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "She never bullied me."

"No?" Zhong Limu looked strange, looked at his sister's immature face in the light, and said in surprise: "Sister is so powerful, has she always been the emperor's sister-in-law you bullied?"

As soon as Zhong Lisuo heard this, there was nothing she didn't understand. She shook her head and looked at Zhong Limu helplessly, "You kid... well, I've finished talking to you, the prince is still waiting for us, other things , let’s talk about it later.”

Zhong Limu opened his arms and hugged Zhong Lisuo full of his arms. After a while, he let go and asked seriously, "Sister, what should I call you from now on?" He had already accepted Zhong Lisuo's new identity, so naturally To plan for the future.

Zhong Limu knew that his sister would be Le Zhengsu from now on.They couldn't return to their previous identities, but they reunited because of the inseparable family affection.Then we have no choice but to read the past and go to the future.

Zhong Lisuo smiled warmly, "It's the same as when you were a child, call me by my name."

Zhong Limu was as good as he was, and called out, "Su."

The two walked side by side to Suhe.

There are many lights and shadows on the riverside, illuminating the pedestrians on the bank like ghosts.That night, many people came to the bank of Liangshui to release river lanterns.After Xuan Jingchen finished handling the government affairs, as in previous years, under the protection of the hidden guards, he went to a riverside in the city and put his river lantern into the water.

Standing on the bank, she quietly watched her river lantern melt into thousands of lights and flow eastward along the river.In the past four years, all her thoughts have been carried by this small river lantern, hoping to convey them to Zhong Lisuo.

Like the people of Liming in the world, she also has her own thoughts.

After finishing all this, Xuan Jingchen turned back to the palace.At this moment, a wisp of shakuba faintly passed through the sparse bank forest and entered her ears.

Her footsteps stopped, and she changed her pace in an instant, walking towards the place where the sound came from without hesitation.

As if she was eager to find something, she stepped on the step of ascending the clouds, and quickly approached the music, her eyes locked on the person who was playing the shakuhachi.

On the bank of the dark river, a man in a long gown and a jade crown stands under a tree, playing the shakuhachi.Shakuhachi is faint, warm in the cool night wind in summer.

This is a song that Xuan Jingchen has not heard for many years, but has always been engraved in his heart.There is a slight discrepancy from the memory, this song does not hide sadness, but complete joy and remembrance.

The music gradually died down, the man put down the shakuhachi in his hand, looked at the wide light belt on the river, and said leisurely: "Prince Zhaoming, everyone knows the song you left behind. Now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, I don't know that you are at the end of the flowing water. Can you know?"

After hearing what he said, Xuan Jingchen took a step forward, looked at the man, and asked, "Mr. Lin, where did you get this song from?"
