Chapter 108
Chapter 108
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Chu Junlin and Chu Ximu were already eight years old. Ever since Chu Xiyun's fierce resistance in the palace, Ling Muyan no longer dared to force Chu Xiyun, and just accompanied him quietly like that. looking at her.
The whole family went to the court to listen to the government, reviewed the memorials together, and lived in harmony and beauty. However, only Ling Muyan knew that Chu Xiyun's heart knot had not yet healed.
Chu Junlin and Chu Ximu grew up rapidly, and they were able to handle political affairs perfectly even when Chu Xiyun let them go.
After two years of waiting, two years of hints, the precocious Chu Ximu always secretly urged his mother to talk to his father and get back together as soon as possible. It's not like Ling Muyan didn't do what Chu Ximu said I went to talk to Chu Xiyun, but Chu Xiyun would skillfully avoid this topic, and Ling Muyan couldn't bring it up again.
That night, after telling Chu Ximu and Chu Junlin a few words, Ling Muyan walked back to Longgan Hall with Chu Xiyun's arm. After two years, Chu Xiyun's injuries were all healed, but her legs were crippled. In the later stage of exercise, I can barely use a cane, but I need someone to support me.
Walking silently on the familiar road, looking at the surrounding scenery, familiar road, familiar scenery, familiar people, but with an unfamiliar heart...
Chu Xiyun let Ling Muyan support her at ease, and would no longer be as vigilant and reluctant as the first time. Two years of time had somewhat worn away Chu Xiyun's defense and fear of Ling Muyan approaching.
From the corner of the corner of the eye, he silently looked at the delicate Yan'er beside him, and caught a glimpse of a white hair in the middle of Yan'er's shiny black hair. He was stunned for a moment, and stood there fixedly, looking at the white hair on Ling Muyan's head.
Just as Ling Muyan was about to take the next step, she obviously felt blocked, turned around, only to find that Xi Ding was standing and looking at her, no, should I say, look, her hair?But why...
She remembered that when Jinxin combed her hair this morning, she said that her black hair had a bunch of white hairs.In front of my lover, naturally I don't want my lover to realize that I am getting old and my face will be ugly, so I quickly raised my hand to cover my gray hair, forced the corners of my mouth up, and begged, "Don't look at me."
Following Ling Muyan's movements, Chu Xiyun moved his eyes from Yan'er's hair to Yan'er's face, fixedly looked at the begging in Yan'er's eyes, and after a while, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I won't look at it." .”
In fact, Chu Xiyun wanted to tell Ling Muyan even more that she didn't dislike her at all. When she had gray hair before, Yan'er didn't dislike her at all. Now, on the other hand, Yan'er only has a bunch of white hair, and she doesn't dislike her at all. Besides, There were pinch after pinch of white hair beneath her own black hair.
But in the end, Chu Xiyun still didn't say anything.
Ling Muyan didn't say anything after seeing Chu Xiyun's nod, she made a gesture to move forward, quickly held Chu Xiyun's arm, and walked cautiously step by step.
Chu Xiyun's peripheral vision still fell on Ling Muyan's body, looking at the conspicuous white hair on top of her black hair, she realized that Yan'er was getting old too, and they were all getting old slowly...
Back at Longgan Hall, Ling Muyan personally waited for Chu Xiyun to sleep carefully. Only then did Chu Xiyun realize that Yan'er, who was loved by him in every possible way, is now so proficient in taking care of others; she used to take care of Yan'er. But now, Yan'er is taking care of her.
Unknowingly, really, a lot has changed...
After waiting for Chu Xiyun to lie down, Ling Muyan tidied herself up, and then she also lay down a meter away from Chu Xiyun. When the lights were turned off, the entire Longgan Palace in Nuoda was plunged into darkness. Candles were lit on the cabinet next to Chu Xiyun for the convenience of lighting when Chu Xiyun got up at night.
Ling Muyan turned over and looked at Chu Xiyun's thin back that had been raised for two years. There were too many emotions in her eyes, and she kept recalling Mu'er's words of encouragement. She took a few deep breaths, and finally said nervously: "Xi, I , I want to talk to you."
Ling Muyan didn't sleep, how could Chu Xiyun sleep, staring at the only light in the darkness, breathing slowly, waiting for Ling Muyan to speak, as expected, she heard Ling Muyan speak soon after.
There was a flash of pain in his eyes, Chu Xiyun closed them, and when he opened them again, he was indifferent as usual, and said softly: "Yan'er, it's getting late, let's go to rest early, and we will talk about everything in three days."
When Ling Muyan heard Chu Xiyun's words, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she couldn't hold back the anxiety in her heart. When Xi said such words, it meant that Xie would definitely give her an explanation in three days. What kind of answer will you open your heart to accept yourself, or...
Rejecting myself again...
Although it was clear that Xi didn't really want to reject her, it was because of that accident, but even so, when Ling Muyan thought that Xi would reject her, her heart still twitched fiercely.
Unlike Ling Muyan who was tossing and turning, Chu Xiyun fell asleep quickly.
The next day, in the unchanging court hall, after Chu Xiyun and the others listened to the advice of the ministers, Li Kuigang wanted to call back the court, but was stopped by Chu Xiyun.
"Li Kui, declare the decree."
As soon as the words came out, everyone in the court looked at the emperor holding the imperial decree in surprise, not knowing why, even Ling Muyan and the others were also surprised, they had never heard what Chu Xiyun said.
Li Kui was the first to react. After receiving the imperial decree, he opened it and saw the contents. He subconsciously froze for a while, then looked at the indifferent emperor. He could only take a deep breath and said, "Your Excellencies accept the decree——"
In an instant, everyone in the hall knelt down, even Ling Muyan, Chu Ximu and Chu Junlin knelt down one after another, listening to the order with their ears pricked up.
"By God, the emperor said, this is the ninth year of Dening, the people are healthy and the borders are peaceful. This is the first prosperous age for the Chu Kingdom. The prince has outstanding talents and intelligence. All the ministers have seen it. My body is in good health. It was abolished two years ago. Considering that the crown prince is still young, I have no choice but to be emperor for another two years. Now, my children have grown up. Therefore, from today onwards, I will pass on the title of crown prince and title 'Taiping'. Three days later Ascension to the throne, the eldest princess will assist you."
"..."
As soon as the imperial decree was announced, everyone in the court was stunned. They didn't expect the emperor to abdicate at this time, but they had seen the abilities of the crown prince and the eldest princess. Be the future emperor.
It's just that no one thought that it would be so fast.
"His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, take the order." Seeing that Chu Junlin and Chu Ximu were both stunned and unable to react, Li Kui bowed respectfully and said.
Neither Chu Junlin nor Chu Ximu thought that their father would abdicate at this time, they stood up at a loss and walked to the front of the court hall, looked at their father in confusion, and asked in confusion, "Father, why... "
Before finishing speaking, Chu Xiyun interrupted the two of them, looked at them deeply, and said softly: "Lin'er, Mu'er, accept the order."
Although the voice was soft, the tone was not something they could defy. Chu Junlin and Chu Muxi had no choice but to bend down to accept the imperial edict. Chu Junlin stood up again, and the court minister knelt down again, and shouted: "See Your Majesty!" , Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Ling Muyan kept looking at Chu Xiyun, and Chu Xiyun also looked back at Ling Muyan at the end, the deepness in his eyes made Ling Muyan inexplicably afraid and sad.
