Chapter 89 The Growth History of Emperors 7

They didn't stay in the cave for too long. Mu Chenyu found the way down the mountain. Not long after, they were found by the people sent by the emperor. On the way home, Li Qiubai dragged his frail body and passed out again. .

When he woke up, he had already returned to his room. He heard Zhu Lan talk about the affairs in the palace, Mu Chenyu received a reward, and Li Qiubai also received a reward for being honored. They were all external things.

He kept his body in the mansion and never went out for several days. As for Mu Chenyu, since the other party has found out that he was the one who secretly helped, Li Qiubai no longer kept it secret, but Mu Chenyu now Having gained face in front of the emperor, I don't really need his help anymore.

On the contrary, the third prince learned that Li Qiubai had rescued Mu Chenyu, and later came to test his attitude. Li Qiubai said in a few words that he had admitted to the wrong person, thinking that it was the emperor, and temporarily dispelled the third prince's doubts.

But he knew that there was still a gap between him and the third prince, but this gap was hidden under the calm surface for a short period of time. If he was not careful in the future, there would be cracks in the third prince's trust in him.

A year is fleeting, this year is over, Mu Chenyu will be 16 years old, and the Spring Festival is approaching, Li Qiubai received a letter.

The warm sun at noon in winter is not very warm, the birds in the yard are standing on the branches, Li Qiubai is wearing a cloak, reading the letter in the study, and there is a fox along with the letter.

The words on the letter can be considered neat, but there is still a little immaturity in the handwriting, "Zi Rong" is written at the beginning, and "Mu Chenyu" is written at the end.

The content of the letter was nothing special, it just mentioned that he got a fox and came here to give it to Li Qiubai as a gift, hoping that he would be happy, and also told him that it is cold in winter, wear more clothes, drink more hot water, and take care of yourself.

Li Qiubai looked at the sentence "drink more hot water", and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Zhu Lan, who was holding the fox cage beside him, saw it and asked, "Young master, how should we arrange this?"

Li Qiubai glanced at it, and said after a while: "Since it was sent by His Highness, it will be easy to live with."

He wrote back a letter, and asked his servants to buy some candied fruit along the way, and secretly asked them to send them into the palace together.

[The fruit from Chengdong Old Street is delicious, I hope His Highness likes it. 】

There are comings and goings, this is Li Qiubai's return gift.

He never imagined that later Mu Chenyu seemed to like giving gifts, and would send some novelties to Li Qiubai every now and then, sometimes things he carved out of wood, and sometimes some palace food, the two of them maintained this relationship. An inexplicable connection.

Until the end of the year, when the border war was in dire straits, Mu Chenyu took the initiative to apply to the emperor to go to the military camp, and the emperor agreed.

Li Qiubai got the news the next day.

In the plot, starting from here is the real road to the hero's rise. Mu Chenyu will start as a centurion, be brave and good at fighting, and rise all the way. When he returns to Beijing, he will already be a great general whom everyone respects. The undefeated god of war.

On the eve of Mu Chenyu's departure, Li Qiubai was in the mansion, and when his servants came to report that Mu Chenyu was coming to visit, he was still in a daze. The two of them communicated by letter for a long time. Li Qiubai never visited him in the palace. Chen Yu also tacitly never came to the door.

In the hall, Mu Chenyu was sitting at the side, drinking the tea prepared by the servants, sitting upright, Li Qiubai was late.

He saluted, and Mu Chenyu got up and walked in front of him.

"You and I don't need to perform these vain rituals." He spoke in a deep voice, making it difficult to distinguish the emotions contained in the words.

"Tomorrow, I will go to war." Mu Chenyu said in a low voice.

Calculated now, he is only a 16-year-old boy, half a forehead shorter than Li Qiubai, but he has a convincing aura about him, with a sense of maturity and stability.

Li Qiubai said softly: "I hope your Highness is safe all the way."

"Zi Rong." Mu Chenyu called out, but did not continue, but his expression seemed to be filled with endless words. After a long silence, he finally asked, "Will you write to me?"

Li Qiubai didn't know how to answer.

Mu Chenyu's eyes and expression gave him a sense of crisis like a prey being targeted. He was no stranger to this feeling.

"The frontier is far away, and it may take a long time for the letter to be delivered. If there is something important, I will write to His Highness." Li Qiubai said ambiguously.

Mu Chenyu's gaze crossed his side face, it seems that he should have such a beautiful appearance, a noble son in everyone's eyes, noble and elegant, when Mu Chenyu first met him, he was also dressed like this A bright robe, like a ray of light, shone into his world.

Now Mu Chenyu still doesn't know where the throbbing in his heart came from. What he feels the most is deep reluctance. He obviously didn't meet often in the past, but it seems that after going to the border, the sense of distance will become very obvious .

Mu Chenyu's Adam's apple rolled: "You... Take care of your body."

In his eyes, Li Qiubai is like a porcelain doll, which will be broken if he is not careful.

"Your Highness too." Li Qiubai said.

Mu Chenyu lowered his eyes, and couldn't help raising his eyes to look at him one more time: "Then... I'll go first."

Li Qiubai nodded, Mu Chenyu walked past him, Li Qiubai called him again abruptly, Mu Chenyu stopped in his footsteps, and turned his head.

Li Qiubai took out the safety blessing from his body, looked at it for a while, and handed it to Mu Chenyu: "Your Highness, safe journey."

He said it again.

Mu Chenyu took it, and rubbed his thumbs on the Ping An Fu. At the last moment, he couldn't help but leaned over and hugged Li Qiubai: "Thank you."

Before dawn the next day, Mu Chenyu left the capital with the army.

……

A farewell to three years.

For the past three years, Li Qiubai has been receiving letters every month without interruption, and he occasionally responds to one or two letters.

The palace was also full of turmoil. The emperor had worried about the country and the people in the past few years, and his health was not as good as before.

Today is the day when Mu Chenyu returns to Beijing.

The streets of the capital are crowded with people, and it is more prosperous than usual. Li Qiubai is sitting in the private room on the second floor, looking down from the window, the city gate is wide open, and the army is entering the city one after another. The long road is truly spectacular. .

On the leading horse, the handsome young man, with handsome facial features, became more and more beautiful. Compared with three years ago, he was more mature and resolute.

Li Qiubai sat in the teahouse and looked down.

The noisy street, the grown-up boy, everything seemed to be a signal that the silent battlefield was about to start. He got up and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a cry from the table next to the teahouse.

"Miss!"

Li Qiubai looked up, and saw a person dressed as a maid leaning out of the window. He seemed to have a feeling, and looked downstairs, and saw Mu Chenyu who was supposed to be on the horse jumped off the horse, holding a man in his arms. A masked woman in a water-blue dress.

The woman looked at Mu Chenyu downstairs so engrossed that she dropped the handkerchief out of the window, subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab it, and accidentally fell out of her body. At this moment, she was looking at Mu Chenyu's profile from a close distance. Scared, or because of other reasons, the rhythm of the heart beat out of control.

Mu Chenyu raised his head and looked upstairs, his eyes met Li Qiubai's at the window, his indifferent expression froze for a moment.

The other party didn't seem to have changed much from three years ago, he was still so calm and gentle, as if he could soothe the dryness in people's hearts with a single glance, like a clear spring in the mountains.

The two looked at each other from a distance, Li Qiubai lowered his eyes first, and said to the followers behind him, "Let's go."

He left the window, and it was only when Mu Chenyu below came back to his senses that he realized that he was still holding a woman in his arms. He seemed to be hugging a hot potato, and almost threw the woman out all at once.

-

Late at night, Li Qiu's white room was lit with candles, and someone came from outside the door to report that someone had come to visit.

It is not difficult to guess who this person will come at such a late hour.

"I've already rested, let him come back tomorrow." Li Qiubai said.

He had just finished taking a shower, with his black hair scattered behind his back, he was lying on the side of the couch in his underwear, reading a book of scriptures in his hand, and was about to fall asleep when he was sleepy.

The servants did not come to report again.

I don't know how long it has passed, Li Qiubai put the storybook on the bedside, ready to turn off the light and go to sleep, at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared at the door, it can't be a servant, if the servant comes, it will not fail Speaking out, Li Qiubai's eyes were slightly cold.

"Who?"

The doorman replied: "It's me."

Familiar and unfamiliar voices, in three years, turned the young Langlang's voice into a deep and magnetic voice, with a clean tone when speaking.

"It's me, Mu Chenyu." He said.

Mu Chenyu didn't come in through a door, so Li Qiubai sat up from the bed, and said softly, "Your Highness barged in in the middle of the night, it's really nice."

Mu Chenyu: "..."

"Sorry." He said in a low voice.

Li Qiubai: "You don't need to apologize, if your Highness needs anything, just talk about it."

Mu Chenyu: "I brought you something -"

He paused and said, "If you don't want to see me today, I'll leave it at the door..."

Before he finished speaking, the door opened from the inside. Li Qiubai stood at the door, meeting his eyes. The current Mu Chenyu was already half a head taller than him, and he was no longer the prickly young man he was back then.

"Why don't you want to meet and talk about it?" Li Qiubai said, "Your Highness was too worried, but it was getting late, so I asked my servants to ask His Highness to come back tomorrow, but since His Highness has already come, just talk about anything."

There was a faint smile on his lips: "Now Your Highness is the God of War, everyone wants to meet, how dare I not see you."

"Zi Rong..." Mu Chenyu was stunned by his series of words, and when she came back to her senses and saw his clothes, she was afraid that he would catch a cold, and said, "Why did you come out in such thin clothes?"

"I'm going to sleep." Li Qiubai said.

Mu Chenyu took out what was in his arms, it was a piece of jade pendant, which he carved with his own hands, and there was a white tassel underneath.

"I carved this by myself on the way back to Beijing—for you."

Li Qiubai lowered his eyes.

The jade pendant is fine.

"You don't get paid for nothing," he said.

Mu Chenyu: "It's worthless."

Li Qiubai looked at him, but smiled and said nothing.

This illusion may be caused by Mu Chenyu's growth experience and personality, which made him be straightforward and obvious when expressing his feelings for Li Qiubai, and he didn't know how to cover it up.

But if Li Qiubai knew or didn't know, he had to pretend not to know.

It's not time to rip his face off yet, and he has nothing to lose by maintaining the illusion of peace on the surface.

Seeing that he was unwilling to accept it, Mu Chenyu's eyes darkened, and he lowered his hands, "It's cold, you should sleep first."

"Your Highness, go back to rest early." Li Qiubai said.

Mu Chenyu: "Yes."

He just... wants to see him so much.

He watched the door seam close at the last point before turning and leaving.

*

Only two days after Mu Chenyu came back, Li Qiubai heard rumors that the emperor intended to marry Mu Chenyu. Considering his age, it was time for Mu Chenyu to start a family. Even the third prince had already become Darling, Mu Chenyu doesn't even have a single person who cares about her.

In the past three years, Li Qiubai was also mentioned about marriage by Li Zaiming, but he has always lived in seclusion. Although he has a good reputation outside, everyone knows that he is a sick child, and he doesn't know how long he can live. Li Qiubai uses this as an excuse, and anyone who can refuse declined.

He counted the time, in another year and a half, the emperor's lifespan will come to an end, and then there will be another drama of the battle for the heir apparent.

He has advised the third prince for the past three years, which made him gain a lot of face in front of the emperor. The third prince valued him very much. Even though he was an idler, he lived a comfortable life.
