thank you + extra

While she was talking, her eyes were full of begging, Xie Yi almost didn't dare to look at her, nodded and said, "Okay."

Liu Zao smiled, the smile was clear, matched with those deep eyes, it was unbearable to look at.She took out the imperial edict from her bosom, handed it to Xie Yi with both hands, and said, "Take a look, if there are still gaps, let me tell you so that I can make up for it."

Xie Yi opened it, and the edict was a grant to her, increasing the fiefdoms of the Marquis, bestowing many treasures, and giving her various preferential treatments, but what surprised her most was the addition of a sentence at the end, "Every prince who enters the capital to meet, Gong It is not necessary for the marquis to come in person, but to send envoys instead."

Xie Yi read this sentence repeatedly in her heart, the more she read it, the more empty her mind became.With this sentence, they will never see each other again for the rest of their lives.

Liu Zao noticed that her gaze stayed at the end, and knew which sentence she was looking at, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I know the reason for your departure, and I know that once you leave, you must not want to come back. I I don't have any extravagant requests, I just want to beg to thank you, and if you encounter a difficult matter or feel unwell, you must send an envoy to Beijing and say something." She paused, thinking that if she didn't say anything, there would be no chance, so she burst into tears Courage, added cautiously, "I will miss you very much."

Xie Yi looked at her young face and agreed.

Liu Zao breathed a long sigh of relief, and Xie Yi also reminded, take care of your body, speak out if you have something on your mind, don't be bored, if you feel uncomfortable, you can't support yourself with force, the inner palace is sufficient, and occasionally you have something you want , Don't be too restrained, don't treat yourself badly.

But she stopped midway through her words.Because she remembered that His Majesty has no place to talk about his thoughts, and the old lady can't talk about everything. She has worries, so she can only hide them in her heart and support herself. Now she still pays attention to them all the time. , who can really care about His Majesty, and who can persuade her when she is wayward.

Hearing that she stopped, Liu Zao thought that her advice was exhausted, and obediently agreed: "Thank you, don't worry, I will write it down." She didn't mention a word of difficulty, she came today, not to keep her, but to let her Leave Beijing without any worries.

Xie Yi was speechless in an instant.

Liu Zao waited for a while, seeing that she had stopped talking, thinking that she was implying that she should go, she felt extremely sad.They were about to part, and maybe they would never see each other again, so Xiang Xie didn't want to stay with her for a while longer?

It's just that now that things are going on, she is even more unwilling to go against her will, so she wants to leave, but seeing Xiang Xie looking at her with extreme tenderness.There were ripples in her eyes, and a soft light shone in them, reflecting her appearance.Liu Zao seemed to see a deeper emotion besides heartache and reluctance, but that emotion only lasted for a moment, before she could see it clearly, it disappeared.

Xie Yi turned his gaze away, and said with deliberately calm voice, "It's getting late, His Majesty should return to the palace."

Hearing her urging, Liu Zao didn't dare to stay any longer, she gave Xie Yi a deep look, stood up, and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

Xie Yi got up to send it off.Liu Zao's eyes were already red, she shook her head and said, "Don't send it off." Her voice was already hoarse.

She didn't want to cry in front of Prime Minister Xie, and she didn't want Prime Minister Xie to recall her tears in the future.

After she finished speaking, she stepped up and walked to the door. She stopped, turned her back to Xie Yi, and said, "I'm the one who let you raise a child in vain, and made you waste half of your hard work. Let You have no choice but to flee to another country, and you have lost more than ten years of achievements, and your whole body has been buried. You can only be an idler. If there is an afterlife, I will hide far away and never come to drag my aunt again. "

Chapter 68

After Liu Zao finished speaking, tears flowed down her face, she didn't dare to turn her head, and walked away quickly, as if fleeing.

Her figure quickly disappeared from the door and from the courtyard, leaving only Yu Qiufeng rustling and a blood-red coral tree in the hall.The coral tree is so pure red, as if it can drip blood.It was dusk, and the light entering the hall was limited, and the blood-red coral tree was covered with a layer of dark shadows, without its magnificent splendor, it made people feel sad.

Xie Yi didn't know how long she sat there until the shadow of the sun slanted to the west and the moon went up to the east.A maidservant came to the hall to light the lamp, but she didn't know that there was someone in the hall. After lighting the lamp, she saw the coral, her eyes were amazed, and she wanted to touch it, but she heard: "Don't touch it."

The tone was very urgent, totally different from Mr. Xie's usual gentle demeanor. The servant girl was startled, knowing that there was someone in the hall, and she was busy apologizing, when she saw Mr. Xie close her eyes, and whispered "Back off", then Described as if tired to the extreme.The maid didn't dare to say much, and quickly withdrew.

Xie Yi stood up and walked slowly to the coral. Her eyes were a little tired, but gradually full of warmth. She raised her hand as if probing, and touched it lightly.Tentacles are the coldness and hardness of coral.Xie Yi touched it, as if she had found something to rely on, she put her palm on it and stroked it gently.

Coral is very beautiful, a rare product in the world, but Xie Yi can only think of Liu Zao's back when he fled, and what she said before she left.

Tonight is too late, the edict will be printed tomorrow, and then a high-ranking official of the Qing Dynasty will come to the prime minister's mansion to read it out.Once the imperial edict is read out, she will leave the capital after going to the phase.

I don't know if the child will come to see him off, most likely he won't, and most likely he will send an envoy generously to let her go away.

Xie Yi looked at this coral carefully, the nostalgia and reluctance hidden in her heart, and only when she was alone, did she dare to reveal a little.

Suddenly, she saw a small corner under the coral, a little red, different from other places.This extremely subtle difference, if you don't stare carefully, you will definitely not be able to find it.

She stretched out her hand to touch it, and found that it was the end of the red string. She pinched the end and pulled it out carefully. Without much effort, a jade pendant fell out.

The jade pendant looked familiar, Xie Yi raised it to her eyes for a closer look.It is a herring pendant.When His Majesty was still a baby, Emperor Wu personally gave it to her, and she has been carrying it with her since then. In the past 18 years, she has never left her body. Because she used the jade pendant to prove her identity on the day she ascended the throne, this jade pendant is almost the incarnation of His Majesty in the eyes of everyone. .

Xie Yi held the jade pendant to her heart, feeling His Majesty's heavy and restrained love on the jade pendant.If she hadn't found out, the jade pendant would be in the coral forever, and she wouldn't know that His Majesty hid him quietly in her bag and went away with her.

Xie Yi raised her hand and slowly covered her cheeks. After a while, tears flowed down her fingers silently.

How could it be a drag?Her Majesty is clearly a gift from God to her.

But she pushed His Majesty away, so that she didn't even dare to ask for the next life in the next life.

When Liu Zao returned to the palace, he didn't take a step out of the palace gate, nor did he order the meal to be served.Hu Ao thought that His Majesty was locked up in the Jiaofang Palace last night. Although she had a hasty make-up during the day, it hurt her body after all. What's more, she only dealt with a piece of cake bait casually before leaving the palace all day long.If this goes on, how will the body be able to bear it?

But he didn't dare to persuade.His majesty has become more majestic in the past few years. At the beginning of his enthronement, he occasionally revealed the absurdity of a young man, but in the past two years, he has become more and more dignified day by day, and his behavior is very upright.Hu Ao was so close that he could see that His Majesty's manners were supported by strength beyond his age, as if she had fear in her heart, lest she would be punished if she acted a little bit wrong.

Because of this rule, the palace officials of the Xuanshi Palace were extra vigilant and did not dare to disobey the holy will in the slightest.

Hu Ao waited for another half an hour, and saw that the emperor was bored in the palace, and there was still no sign of eating. After thinking about it, he still plucked up his courage and went inside to report.

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner. Even if you have an empty stomach, you can't handle government affairs."

Liu Zao was in a trance, and when he heard the words, his face became a little dazed, and he said: "From now on, I only have to deal with government affairs."

Hearing that her tone was not harsh, Hu Ao boldly persuaded her: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you only deal with government affairs? Apart from government affairs, you can also go hunting and have banquets. During Emperor Wu's time, there was a Cuju competition." , so that foreign countries and princes and kings have the same view, it is very lively."

Not only that, the emperor enjoys pleasure in various forms, but he dare not talk about it, it will spoil His Majesty.

Liu Zao shook his head: "It's not good to indulge in having fun. If people hear about it, they will be unhappy. Besides, how can Le, who can't have fun with her, be happy?"

Hu Ao didn't know about thanking Prime Minister for his resignation, but he didn't know why, looking at the dazed and helpless expression on His Majesty's face, he remembered the scene when His Majesty first entered Changle Palace.

At that time, King Changyi was still in power, and His Majesty was imprisoned in a small palace when he entered the palace.He was the first group of palace servants to serve His Majesty.Every day, he secretly observes this little grandson.Knowing that she is a very quiet little girl, she doesn't talk much, she is always thinking, and she is always looking around, waiting for an opportunity to move.It seems that she is very calm, but she will still show helplessness and fear unintentionally, exactly the same as His Majesty right now.

Hu Ao has served her for four years, watching her change from a pretending calm little grandson to the majestic emperor now, after all, he has some feelings.He couldn't help being soft-hearted, and persuaded: "Your Majesty takes a rest occasionally, who dares not be happy? If Your Majesty wants to have fun with others, he can just summon him, who dares not to be invited?"
