There are lovers in the world

Chapter 2:

Just as Xia Yi didn't close his eyes for a while, there was a "dong dong" knock on the door outside the house.

A respectful and cautious voice sounded from outside the house, "Third Highness, I have something important to report."

Xia Yi gently parted his and A Ruan's entangled hands, and made sure that A Ruan hadn't been woken up before leaving the room as gently as possible.

"Third Highness, Your Majesty is critically ill, and I have summoned you to see him immediately." Although the speaker was humble and cautious, he was Xia Yize's most loyal confidant, General Yang Guangye.

But since returning here, facing his father, he still can't let go.Every time Xia Yi saw his biological father's face, he could always imagine how desolate his mother and concubine were before they died.

So every time he was in court, he just played the image of the most talented and loyal courtier, and never called his father at all.

In recent days, it is obvious that his body is getting weaker and weaker. Is it really like this to the end?

The eyes are slightly narrowed, and the eyes are piercing, which makes people a little afraid.

General Yang beside him seemed to be able to sense the unpredictable aura of Xia Yize, and lowered his head a little lower, waiting for a reply.

After a long time, Xia Yi suppressed the distracting thoughts and anger in his heart, and decided to enter the palace.

"Take care of Miss Ah Ruan, if she wakes up early, let her wait."

"Subordinates obey."

General Yang finished his response, and when he raised his head again, Xia Yi had already sent back the formula.

The heavy rain was still pouring, with no sign of stopping.

The emperor's bedroom was already guarded by guards, and Xia Yi was escorted outside the emperor's bedroom by the maid under an umbrella, so he went in without paying attention to the surrounding situation.

It's just that there was no one in the huge bedroom, and vicissitudes of coughing kept coming from the inner room. The sound seemed to be out of breath, which made people sound a little frightened.

But Xia Yi didn't feel anything, and stopped walking far away in front of the bed.

An old hand tremblingly stretched out from the bed curtain, and slightly opened the curtain, "Yan'er..."

That's right, the emperor called his Highness the Third Prince, Li Yan.It's just that people who usually know his identity will call him "Your Highness", and trusted friends will call him by name.This kind of baby name is probably only used by my biological parents.

What a long-lost feeling.

As if returning to my childhood in an instant, the mother and concubine called me dignifiedly, always laughing but not crying, even if I wanted to cry, I would never let the tears fall.

The memory only stays at this moment, and then it is fleeing and avoiding, it is bearing humiliation, and it is separation of flesh and blood.

What right does he have to call me by my baby name!

"Yan'er...you hate me?"

Xia Yi obviously shrugged his shoulders unconsciously when he heard this, as if he heard the news of a bolt from the blue.His gaze became sharp again as before.

The old emperor, who was lying on the imperial couch, already clearly felt that the person in front of him was indifferent to him.Maybe I should have thought of it long ago, but I still hope to get a little bit of his understanding when I am dying.

"You don't know... When I was young, I was high-spirited, but I hated the harem the most. Those concubines treated me with respect on the surface, but they were all hypocritical...Only Hongshan, in her world, there is only happiness, She's always smiling...it's so easy to be with..."

The old emperor's words were intermittent, but his tone was extremely flat, as if he was telling a story to the person in front of him.

"...You really look like her. Although you are a man, the expression between your eyebrows is very similar to Hongshan... If it is possible, I really hope that I still have her by my side at this time... But why would I want to kill her?" Hongshan..."

"Enough--!!!" Xia Yi couldn't hold back his excitement anymore, "It's this sentence again! Is your helplessness so justified?"

Hate, so much hate.

His mother died and his son was unable to fully protect him, while he was a half-demon but was secretly hunted down and killed innocent people.

Hearing his son's questioning, the old emperor finally nodded in satisfaction, and continued as if nothing had happened: "You should hate me...but I really hope...you can let them go...after all, they are yours... Brother..." Before he finished speaking, the old emperor had no energy to continue.

In my memory, there is still that woman who only smiles but not tears is walking towards me, and she can still see the person she wants to see, which is considered God's pity.After thinking about it, he closed his eyes tightly.

After a long silence, there was no more words in the bedroom, Xia Yi's clenched fist seemed to loosen.

Finally, the moment has come.

With a sneer, "Let them go?...Who ever let me go?"

Turning around and leaving the palace, the rain still hasn't stopped.

early morning.

Ah Ruan got up from the inn, opened his sleepy eyes and the people around him were gone, just about to go out to look for it, Xia Yi came back with a snack box in his hand.

Uh~ Yi Ze is still so good, he will bring a lot of delicious food whenever he has time~

Ah Ruan's eyes were filled with happiness at the moment, and he couldn't help clasping his hands.But when she took a closer look at the man in front of her, her smile faded away.

Ah Ruan asked worriedly: "Hey, Yi Ze, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Yi was confused by this question, "What's wrong with me, what's wrong?"

Although the tone is still normal, Ah Ruan still sees it clearly, "I don't know, but Yi is not like before, and Yi in the past is full of energy. Today Yi seems to be very tired. "

Heh, did my cover-up fail so much?

Xia Yi couldn't help sighing, the complicated emotions in his heart were still seen by this little girl.

"Ah Ruan, I'm fine. Take a look at the meals I prepared for you. There are crystal steamed dumplings and sweet-scented osmanthus jujube cake and other foods that you like."

"Hmm..." Normally, Ah Ruan would hold the table and enjoy the food, but this morning, Ah Ruan was a little hesitant.

Lowering his head, he was just reaching out and playing with the hair on his temples.

Xia Yi stretched out his hands to support A Ruan's shoulders, and Xia Yi, who was a head shorter than himself, could just see A Ruan's hesitant expression, "A Ruan, is it because this morning's meal didn't suit your appetite? Or do you feel unwell?" ?”

"Well... Yize..." Ah Ruan raised his head, and he happened to be able to see Xia Yize's clean and resolute face. What he saw in his tender eyes was his own figure, and those eyes were waiting for Ah Ruan's attention. reply.

"If Yi Ze has something on his mind, he must tell Ah Ruan, Ah Ruan will be with Yi Ze no matter what~"

"Why did Ah Ruan say that?"

"Yi Ze is different today from the past. I know Yi Ze has been very tired recently, but today Yi Ze's eyes are not only tired, but also... a little bit sad..."

Xia Yi lowered his head, only to see Ah Ruan looking at him with big watery eyes, with inexplicable doubts in his eyes.It's just that he didn't expect Ah Ruan to see through his heart so easily.

"Ah Ruan... last night... that person is dead..."

"That person?" As soon as Ah Ruan heard the word "that person", he realized who Xia Yi was talking about.

In order to make Xia Yize happy, Ah Ruan plunged into Xia Yize's arms immediately, "Well...don't think too much about Yize, because you still have me~"

Xia Yi's heart suddenly twitched, and he hugged Ah Ruan tightly into his arms.

For him, it is a great fortune to be able to come to this day with the person he likes.

"Yi Ze, I remember hearing brother Xie Yi say that the greatest love in the world is the love of parents for their children. I'm not human, and I don't have a father and mother like you. I can't feel that feeling. But ...Although I haven't experienced it, I know that no matter what, losing a loved one must be very difficult, right? But Yi, don't be afraid, you still have me, I will always be by your side~"

A Ruan's words directly impacted Xia Yize's heart. He was worried day and night. The only thing he was afraid of was waking up one day, and the people around him would turn into dew grass, and the rest was his endless waiting. .

"Ah Ruan...I..."

Ah Ruan raised her head subconsciously when she heard the sound, she likes to watch Yi Ze speak, she is always so serious.Yi Ze is good-looking, no matter how you look at it, you can't seem to get tired of it.

Xia Yi smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to smooth the hair on A Ruan's temples, his eyes were full of tenderness, "A Ruan don't have to worry. It's just that last night, a person's life is like a white horse. .But even as Master said, everything in the world is illusory. What I promised Ah Ruan will not change."

After all, Xia Yi's eyes became a little firmer.

After hearing what Xia Yi said, Ah Ruan became puzzled, blinked his big eyes a few times and said in a thoughtful manner: "I don't seem to understand what Yi Ze said. But it doesn't matter, I know that Yi Ze will always treat me very well. It's~" The playful little girl blinked her right eye, and what she brought to Xia Yi from her pure and flawless face was not only hope but also the happiness of the whole life.

No need to say anything more, Xia Yi put his arms around Ah Ruan again, put his head on the forehead of the girl in his arms and gently rubbed, and could only murmur: "Of course...always..."

Only in this way will you feel that everything you do is worthwhile.
