Chu Yu felt as if his health had suddenly become extremely bad. On the surface, it looked like he was getting better, but in fact, he couldn't deal with it many times, and Chu Yan could only let Chu Yan handle the matter.
But he didn't care. At this age, these things were left to him. He just wanted to get along well with Mei Zhu.
Time passes day by day, and in a blink of an eye it is spring again, and it is time for those who have just gone back to go back.
On the day Xiao Zhi returned to Northern Qi, Chu Xin did ten o'clock alone and looked towards the north. That was his home. He had returned to his hometown.
"Sister, don't be sad."
Chu Shu waited outside for a long time and couldn't help but push the door open. Even though she was mentally prepared, on this day, she knew that her sister would not be having a good time.
"I'm not sad. He has returned to his hometown. He has returned to his home."
Chu Xin smiled and shook her head, suppressing the empty feeling in her heart.
In fact, when she got up in the morning, her heart had slowly become empty. There was no longer that person in Nanyuan, and she would no longer have to go to that place in the future.
"Sister is right. Beiqi is his home. He can't stay in Dachu forever. This is not a good place for him. He will eventually return to his hometown."
Chu Shu sighed, knowing that her sister would not be addicted to those emotions, and she must also understand these principles.
"Shu'er, many times rational people will fall into emotions. Just like at this moment, there is only a blank in my heart. When I think that the person in Nanyuan is gone, I suddenly don't know what to do. .”
Chu Xin touched her heart, feeling empty and sour. How could the habits of so many years be changed in a day or two?
"I understand. If my sister really likes him so much, then she might as well agree. It will also test whether he can remember his promise when he returns."
Chu Shu worriedly said, since her sister likes that man so much, then she should stay with that man.
Chu Xin didn't speak, as if she had acquiesced. In fact, she knew what choice to make a long time ago, and everything was waiting for news from him after she returned.
Xie Ruling couldn't eat anything, so Mingyu came over to eat some food and waved her hands, not wanting to eat any of it.
Knowing that Xiao Zhi has gone back, Chu Xin will definitely feel uncomfortable. What's more important is that as the days pass, the promised day will soon come.
By then, his daughter may not be by his side.
I can't tell what kind of feeling this is, but I just feel like we have been together for so many years, but one day we will be separated thousands of miles apart.
When I saw Chu Xin's evasive eyes that day, I had already guessed what she would choose.
But this is quite normal. After all, when people grow up, they have their own thoughts and ideas and choose the life they want. You should let go earlier!
But what she is most worried about is that even if this promise is fulfilled, how will Chu Xin live after going to Beiqi, and how will she live in the future?
Chuxiu Palace.
"Your father has really completely forgotten about the people in the harem. Even if he is sick, he only needs her to serve him. I didn't expect that he still likes her so much after so many years. What kind of charming magic does she use!"
Zheng Yinghuan could tell that Chu Yi was really unhappy today, and she also knew what day it was.
It's just the day when Proton returns to Northern Qi. Is Chu Yi so unhappy when he is gone?
Chu Yi pouted and turned her head and didn't want to talk anymore. The mother-in-law did it on purpose. She knew she was in a bad mood today, but she still had to call her over to talk.
"Yi'er, I asked you once before. You were vague at that time. Now that I'm gone, do you understand your heart? What are you thinking about?"
Zheng Yinghuan reached out and pulled Chu Yi over. Her daughter was always depressed these days. She really couldn't figure out what her daughter was thinking.
This spring, Proton is going back to Northern Qi, so he should have been mentally prepared for it.
"Mother, I just feel uncomfortable and sad!"
Chu Yi bit her lip in grievance, and if she looked carefully, there were some tears in her eyes.
Of course I was mentally prepared, but at this moment I still felt very sad and sad.
"It's not a big deal that you can't bear to let him go. It's not difficult for you to marry him, but you just wronged yourself! What can he get if he returns to Beiqi? Otherwise, you are still at the mercy of others. You are a golden branch and a jade leaf, so you are just like that Do you want to disgrace yourself?"
Zheng Yinghuan really hated that iron could not become steel, so she could only persuade her with all her heartfelt words.
Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, all matters are left to Chu Yan to handle, which means everything is self-evident.
When the time comes, Chu Yi's status will be even more noble, so how can she marry such a man? This will only wrong her!
"Mother, I understand," Chu Yi nodded, "But it's precisely because of this that I don't have to worry about him being disappointed, because I can control everything about him. I just want to stay with him in this life. Just make him be obedient!"
Chu Yi knew the worries her mother mentioned, but she didn't care. It happened to be precisely because of these.
With her status, she could naturally marry a well-matched aristocratic man, but in that case, her status as a princess would mean nothing. She would have to endure any injustice she suffered in the future.
She didn't want to live like this, not to mention that she had seen enough of how the mother-in-law was neglected over the years. She definitely didn't want to repeat the fate of the mother-in-law.
She also knew that Xiao Zhi was weak, and that was why he was easy to control. Da Chu and the imperial brother were her best shields.
At that time, I must control Xiao Zhi for the rest of my life and make him obedient and obedient. I will never dare to be as disloyal as my father!
"Yier, I know you are usually a child with ideas, but are you sure you have a chance of winning this way?"
Zheng Yinghuan was extremely worried. This was really a big gamble. What would happen if the bet failed?
"Concubine, you don't have to persuade me anymore, that's what I think in my heart!"
Chu Yi shook her head and didn't want to say anything else. She had had this idea for a long time and it was impossible to change it.
"Now I am waiting for an opportunity, and there will definitely be an opportunity!"
Chu Yi is very confident in herself and feels that she will never misjudge the person, she will never lose a bet, and she will never repeat the same fate as her mother and concubine, absolutely not!
"Why isn't your Majesty awake yet?"
When Meizhu came over, Chu Yu was still asleep. Although he had guessed something in his heart, he still had to ask what he should ask.
"His Majesty was awake just now. After dealing with some things, he felt very sleepy again, so he took a rest."
The palace man answered truthfully.
Mei Zhu waved her hands and everyone retreated. She and His Majesty were the only two people in the palace.
But the moment everyone left, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing down. Time was getting closer and closer, and everything would end soon.
By then her mission will be completed.
But at this moment, my heart actually felt very painful.
What is there to be sad about? It would be nice if her mission is completed, but the relationship she has had for so many years is not fake. The years are still vivid in her mind. How could she not care at all?
In fact, she has lived a very good life in Da Chu's harem these years, and she has never suffered any grievances. Even the imperial concubine no longer dared to make things difficult in front of her. Even Princess Yi, who was once the most beloved by His Majesty, could only act honestly.
His Majesty really gave the best to everyone, but what did she give to the other party in return?
After wiping away the tears on his face, he turned around and left without looking back. It's already this far anyway, and there's no point in crying pretentiously. If you want to be cruel, just be cruel to the end!
Chu Xin lived with her fingers day by day. She was just waiting for that promise and believed that Xiao Zhi would definitely make it.
Xie Ruling had already understood it and didn't say anything more. She just acted like she didn't know what to do, just like normal.
Children will eventually grow up and have a life of their own choice, and she should not interfere.
Although he said this, his heart ached again and again.
Chu Xin was practicing calligraphy, but her heart couldn't calm down. There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. It turned out that summer was almost here.
I couldn't write well, so I simply put down the pen. It turned out that spring was almost over, the days had passed, but there was still no news from Beiqi after so long.
Chu Xin couldn't explain what she was feeling in her heart, waiting day after day, feeling lost day after day, this cycle repeated every time, and she couldn't sleep peacefully day and night.
She was looking forward to hearing some news and hoping that Xiao Zhi could fulfill this promise. She was already ready for this.
She has grown up and hopes to be able to make her own choices and is ready to make this choice without regrets or shrinking back.
Xiao Zhi, I hope you won’t disappoint me.
"Xin'er, I have something to tell you."
Xie Ruling's eyes were red, obviously she had cried just now, and she waved her hands to ask the waiters to leave.
"Mom, what's going on? Why are you crying?"
Chu Xin quickly stepped forward and held Xie Ruling's arm. She didn't know what happened. Her mother hadn't cried for a long time. What happened?
The two of them sat on chairs, but Xie Ruling remained silent and did not speak. Thinking of the news just now, she suddenly felt unable to speak.
"Xin'er, in fact, you are not my biological daughter. You did not come out of my belly. I only have the kindness to raise you."
Xie Ruling reached out to touch Chu Xin's face, wanting to take a closer look at the girl she had raised since childhood. Everything in her childhood was still vivid in her mind, but the days passed too fast.
"Mom, don't say that. These nurturing graces are enough. I don't care whether you are my biological mother or not. I have always treated you like your biological mother."
The difference in Chu Xin's sensitivity must have happened, otherwise her mother wouldn't have said this suddenly, and she gradually had a bad feeling in her heart.
"These days, I always dream about the time in the cold palace. At first I felt that those eight years were a stain on my life, but later I felt that I was so happy. Because of your existence, I You raised me little by little, and I watched you grow up!"
Xie Ruling said reluctantly that she had actually known Chu Xin's choice for a long time and had made some preparations, but now that the day had really come, her heart suddenly felt a sharp pain.
She was really going to lose this daughter.
"I know, I know everything," Chu Xin knelt down and rested her head on Xie Ruling's lap, "I remember, I remember everything, and I will never forget my mother."
Chu Xin's heart was beating wildly. She didn't know what happened, but seeing her mother like this was probably not a good thing. She suddenly felt scared and panicked.
Afraid of hearing some bad news from her mother, she wanted to stop time and let mother and daughter cuddle up together for a while.
