[Comprehensive] Madam's divine calculation

Chapter 18 Northern Qi|Leaving

She slept for three full hours before waking up.

It was past noon when I woke up, the maids were dozing off in twos and threes on the porch, and two servants were sweeping the courtyard.King Lanling has already left, and the lady must have told him what the truth of those things is and where are those people now.There should be nothing wrong with her staring at the lady who wrote letters and invitations last night.

After using some buttermilk, Yun Yao went to the yard to dry the copper coins.Today's sunshine is very good, it is very suitable for drying copper coins and tortoise shells, but right now she has no tortoise shells in hand, so she can only use copper coins to make up the number.While she was flipping through the copper coins, she heard the maids talk about that King Lanling was a little strange today. After sending the lady away, he went to practice swords in the side courtyard alone, and brought a lot of wine jars there.

--what happened to him?

Yun Yao was a little surprised, so she picked out six half-new and not old copper coins, and went into the house to make a divination for King Lanling.The hexagrams show that King Lanling has been free from illness and disaster recently, showing a stable appearance of Zhongji.This is already a rare and auspicious sign for King Lanling, who is always in a fierce state.

But why did he run to the side courtyard alone to drink in silence?

Yun Yao was a little puzzled, so she wanted to go and see for herself.She didn't go there by herself, but a faint shadow floated from her body, and went straight to the courtyard.Lanling Prince's Mansion is not big, and there are only two or three side courtyards. She quickly found a place and drifted into that side courtyard.

Sure enough, King Lanling was dancing his sword in the front yard, the sword light was majestic and intimidating.

The three-foot green sharp edge was blowing cold light in the sun, the sword edge was majestic, his figure was so fast that he could hardly see clearly, only the man under the tung tree was flying, and the long sword hit the ground with a ding , the tip of the sword trembled tremblingly, fine tung flowers fluttered all over the sky, and fell down one after another.

The black sleeves of the king's clothes brushed the fallen flowers all over the floor, and big beads of sweat slowly slid down the bridge of his straight nose.

pat.

A cold bead of sweat rolled down on the ground, slowly melting away a pool of water stains.King Lanling seemed to have just woken up from a dream, panting heavily.He put the long sword back into the scabbard, grabbed a jar of wine on the stone table next to it, and gulped it down.

Then he leaned heavily on the sycamore tree, the cold wine slid down his throat, as strong as a blade.

The lady told him just now that those things in the past were indeed done by King Qinghe.King Qinghe belonged to the clan of the former dynasty, and he could say he hated his father, former Emperor Wenxiang Gao Cheng, but he had to rely on Gao Cheng.So in the previous dynasty and the rear palace, King Qinghe acted quite harshly, slowly spreading the power of the imperial clan of the previous dynasty, so as not to be destroyed by the Gao family in one fell swoop.

As for the lady herself, she purely hated black and white, but she hated everything Gao Cheng liked to the extreme.

Finally, the lady handed him some things, and said to him: Those people in the past are almost dead; fortunately, most of them who survived are still staying in the west (Northern Zhou Dynasty), and they will never die again in their lifetime. Back to Yecheng.

If he wants to overturn the case... that's impossible.

King Lanling closed his eyes, and the spirits slipped into his stomach, burning his chest with pain.

The lady also said that the reason why she gave him the things was because she saw someone last night.If it wasn't for seeing that person, she would never have stepped into the Lanling Palace in her entire life.And that person, that person, is his biological mother...

"Mother..." he murmured, his eyes hurt a little under the sun.The cold strong wine was poured down the throat, one jar after another, as if to vent all the painful and dark emotions in the wine.

If mother was still alive, why didn't she come to see him?why?why!

Is it because that day, when he hurried back from Lanling County, he couldn't see his mother for the last time...

Suddenly, a beauty dressed in red descended slowly, with the same appearance as before, looking at him gently and smiling.

King Lanling was stunned, looked at the man in disbelief, and murmured: "Mother?"

"Su'er." The beauty said with a smile, "Strong wine can hurt your health, so don't drink too much."

The beauty took two steps forward, as if she wanted to touch the top of his head, but her hands seemed to be made of condensed mist, and the moment they touched his body, they penetrated straight through.He stared at her blankly, like a child, and murmured: "Mother." His voice was almost choked with sobs.

The beauty said helplessly: "Look, you can't touch me."

King Lanling pinched the wine jar tightly and crushed it bit by bit.The sharp edge of the wine jar scratched his palm, and some blood slowly oozes out.He loosely spread his hands, as if he wanted to hold the beauty's clothes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother."

Intense pain and sadness gathered in his eyes, even under the scorching sun, he could still feel the pain and desolation.

"Mother." King Lanling said hoarsely, "I can't do it. Unless the west (Northern Zhou Dynasty) is completely destroyed, it will be difficult for me to bring that person to Yecheng in my whole life, so that Your Majesty can overturn the old case. I ……I can not do it……"

The beauty looked at him softly and smiled, and said softly: "My mother knows."

She knew that unless the King of Lanling led his troops to conquer the Northern Zhou Dynasty, those things would be sealed forever.

The beauty looked at King Lanling with a smile, and said softly: "Mother doesn't blame you. Su'er has done a good job, better than what mother thought. Mother is leaving, and I'm afraid she won't be able to stay by your side for a long time. If You miss your mother, mother... Mother will come back to see you from time to time. You have to remember that in this world, you are the only person your mother cares about, and you must take good care of yourself whether you are in the palace or in the mansion. "

King Lanling's eyes groaned, he stood up abruptly and said, "Mother!"

The beauty looked at him quietly and smiled, then slowly, little by little, disappeared into the air.

King Lanling took two steps forward, trying to grab her, but his hands were empty, and there was nothing left.

He leaned heavily on the sycamore tree, grabbed another jar of spirits, and gulped it down.The cold wine was like a knife's edge, twisting his stomach with a knife.A faint shadow squatted beside him, he couldn't see it, but he could feel a slight coolness.

The shadow stayed with him quietly for a moment, then drifted away.She floated all the way back to her dormitory, and the dazzling sunlight came in from the window, making her dizzy.She got up and pushed open the door, followed the path in her memory, and found the sycamore tree where King Lanling was.

King Lanling was already drunk, talking nonsense intermittently, there was a cold water mark on his cheek, it was unknown whether it was the sweat from practicing the sword just now, or because of excessive grief... She walked up to King Lanling Beside him, he leaned down, gently wiped away the water marks on his cheeks, and called out softly, "Your Majesty, go back."

King Lanling looked at her with his eyes open, and murmured, "It's you."

Yun Yao bent down beside King Lanling, removed the wine jar from his hand, and picked up the broken porcelain pieces with the silver hairpin.

Just now, in grief, King Lanling accidentally crushed the wine jar, and these pieces of porcelain stuck in his palm, and slightly hot blood slowly seeped out.King Lanling looked at her motionless, two small people were reflected in his eyes, and the gloomy look slowly faded away.

He raised his hand, intending to brush her long hair, but suddenly saw that the edge of his palm was stained with blood, so he gave up again.

She carefully picked out the broken pieces of porcelain, then carefully wrapped them up with fine cotton cloth, and said softly, "Your Majesty, strong alcohol hurts your health."

King Lanling smiled and said in a low voice, "It's you."

His eyes were still drunk and hazy, as if he could no longer recognize the person in front of him.

Yun Yao struggled to lift him up, trying to help him back to the dormitory.But King Lanling laughed softly twice, leaned against her arms, then slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep.He seemed to have relieved all his burdens and slept peacefully in her arms.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast obliquely over, illuminating the shadows of mottled trees all over the place.The courtyard is full of falling tung flowers, with a faint fragrance.King Lanling fell asleep in her arms, his long hair scattered in her palms, like the night that was so thick that it couldn't be melted away.

Yun Yao gently covered his forehead, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

He was really, really tired.

After a while, the maids came in twos and threes with food cases, and it was time for dinner.

Yun Yao looked down at King Lanling in her arms, and sighed helplessly.He fell asleep very peacefully, like a big lazy cat with all its fangs and claws put away.Probably only when he is on the battlefield, he will show his minions and turn into a dangerous and ferocious beast.

The servant girl asked in a low voice: Do you want to wake up the king?

Yun Yao turned her ear to listen to his breathing, it was long and long, as if she was having a very peaceful dream.

"That's all." Yun Yao shook her head and said, "Leave it, I will use some with the king later. You save some soup, let me fill my stomach first."

The maids said yes, served Yun Yao with some soup, and then removed the food table.King Lanling slept very deeply this time, when night fell, Yun Yao called two servants over and helped King Lanling to his dormitory to rest.It wasn't until nightfall that she lay beside King Lanling and slept for a while.

She didn't sleep well that night, and had many dreams tossing and turning.

The next morning, Yun Yao woke up early.The sky outside is not yet bright, and some light fish-belly whites have just surfaced in the east.

But King Lanling left again.

Yun Yao rubbed her eyes, thinking she was wrong.But her side was indeed empty, there were still some slight depressions, and there was still some warmth when touched, as if the person had just left.She glanced outside the house, and it was indeed twilight, with a few stars left in the sky, and even the maids who were watching the night were still dozing off deeply.But the person who was still sleeping next to her last night had already left.

The thin quilt on her body was neatly tucked in by the man, as if she was afraid of catching cold.

Yun Yao put on her clothes and stood up, pushed the door open with a squeak, and went out, only to see the servants holding torches and busy coming and going.She stopped one of them and asked, "Is Your Majesty going to leave?"

Seeing that it was the concubine, the servant said, "Your Majesty is still in the stable and is about to leave immediately."

Yun Yao groaned softly, followed the path in her memory, and found the stable in the palace.King Lanling had already changed his royal clothes, and his dark armor was a bit dazzling in the faint skylight.When he saw her coming, he said softly, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Yun Yao stepped forward and said softly, "Are you leaving?"

King Lanling gave a low hum, and said, "Your dowry shop, as well as the gold and silver utensils rewarded by His Majesty, will be cleaned up by a servant in the afternoon and returned to you. And I also left some for you. ——" He paused for a moment, and then said again, "I kept some useful things. After all, the next 60 years, the lady will not live too hard."

His voice was very calm, not as if he was saying goodbye to his wife, but as if he was saying goodbye to a friend.

Yun Yao lowered her head and said slowly: "But I have nowhere to go." She paused for a moment, then took two steps forward, walked up to King Lanling, and said softly: "I will go to Bingzhou with you." Okay? I know you also have a mansion in Bingzhou, so you won't make trouble."

King Lanling was startled when he heard this.

He looked at Yunyao, and asked with some uncertainty: "What did you say?"
