Boss, the major general is here!

The emperor was very quick to help the two of them make a decree. The date was set on the eighth day after the New Year in the Gregorian calendar, that is, January 1th. This date is the closest to now, and it is also very auspicious.

Both Ao Tianzong and Tang Zhengqing had no opinion, and then the emperor sent someone to announce this event worthy of national celebration to the world.

Of course, the emperor also wanted to take advantage of this great event to get in touch with several nearby countries that had good relations with the empire, especially Kasyapa, the king of the desert who was the latest alliance.

With Kasyapa as the middleman, it should be much easier to expand the empire's territory in the future.Moreover, the passage on the high seas trade should be restored, and they can take the opportunity to make a big business and fill the treasury.

Ao Tianzong and Tang Zhengqing didn't ask what the emperor was thinking. They sat for a while, and Ao Tianzong resigned early on the grounds that Tang Zhengqing needed a good rest.

The emperor didn't stay any longer, and entrusted Ao Tianzong to take good care of Tang Zhengqing, and then let them go.

Regarding Tang Zhengqing's resignation, Dijun also expressed his understanding. If Tang Zhengqing hadn't promoted Ye Chengen and Lu Zhanyang, the two capable men before, maybe he would be reluctant. Now that someone can take his place and take charge of rebuilding the border, Dijun would not demand.

Of course, Tian Zong is so defensive, no matter how reluctant he is, he has to approve Tang Zhengqing's return to the imperial capital to recuperate!

On the way back, Tang Zhengqing leaned on Ao Tianzong's shoulder, but stared sideways at the scenery outside the car window in a daze, and did not initiate a conversation.

Ao Tianzong stared intently at Tang Zhengqing.

When Tang Zhengqing's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but follow his line of sight—the car passed by a famous roast duck restaurant, and the roast ducks were all fat, golden and oily, and looked particularly appetizing.

Are you hungry?

Ao Tianzong suddenly ordered: "Stop."

The driver was not driving fast at first, but now he stopped the car after listening to his instructions. Tang Zhengqing sat up straight and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

"Wait for me." Ao Tianzong is actually used to Tang Zhengqing's slightly alienated attitude, but after all, it's just the beginning, he can't expect anything extravagantly, as long as he makes a little progress every day, it can be regarded as an encouragement to him.

Tang Zhengqing watched Ao Tianzong get out of the car, and sat in the car for a while, leaning on the back of the chair, bored. Ao Tianzong came back soon, carrying two big bags in his hand, the fragrance was wafting out, Tang Zhengqing sniffed his nose, and immediately Wake up - he is going down to buy roast duck.

Facts proved that his guess was not wrong, Ao Tian saw him drooling at the roast duck restaurant outside the window, of course he had to considerately buy two for him and came back!

One has already been sliced ​​and packed in an exquisite crystal lunch box. Ao Tianzong took out the lunch box from the bag, opened the lid, and handed it to Tang Zhengqing first: "Ah Qing, you first satisfy your hunger. If two are not enough, when will it be ready?" If I want to eat, I will call their store and ask them to deliver it to my home."

Tang Zhengqing swallowed, didn't refuse, and took it directly to eat.

Ao Tianzong put the other one away, and then told the driver to drive.

Tang Zhengqing ate all the way back, and finally got a roast duck in his stomach. He was relieved with satisfaction, and couldn't help but praise: "The taste of this restaurant is really good."

"Really? I'll buy it from their house from now on." Ao Tianzong said a little dotingly, "Do you still eat? Shall I open this for you?"

Tang Zhengqing shook her head: "I can't take it anymore, you should eat it."

Ao Tianzong smiled slightly: "I'll keep it for you, maybe I want to eat it again later."

Tang Zhengqing didn't say any more, Ao Tian put away the lunch box, got out of the car with another bag, went around to open the door for Tang Zhengqing, and finally took him back to the living room.

Help Tang Zhengqing to sit up first, and put a cushion on his back by the way, then Ao Tianzong went to put the remaining roast duck into the kitchen, and then came back to ask: "Is it cold? Are you sleepy? Do you want to rest for a while?" ?”

Tang Zhengqing shook her head and began to discuss with Ao Tianzong: "I want to go home tomorrow."

This family naturally refers to the Tang Mansion.

Ao Tianzong frowned slightly: "There is no one there, what are you doing back there?"

"Get some information or something." Tang Zhengqing said briefly.

Ao Tianzong was quite reluctant, but he couldn't be too tough now, so he had to compromise and agree: "Okay, I'll go with you."

"No need, I can go alone, don't you want to make wedding invitations tomorrow?" Tang Zhengqing reminded.

Ao Tianzong didn't appreciate it: "You can get the wedding invitation the day after tomorrow, but it's more important for Madam."

Tang Zhengqing also frowned: "Are you afraid that I will run away from marriage?"

"...the possibility cannot be ruled out." Ao Tianzong didn't want to compromise on this matter.

"Rong'er is in your hands, do I dare to escape?" Tang Zhengqing sarcastically said.

Ao Tianzong felt a pain in his heart. He knew that what he had done had really hurt Tang Zhengqing's heart, but when he said that he killed Tang Yingrong, he felt very uncomfortable. If he had a choice, he didn't want to break with Tang Zhengqing completely. Old and dead.What's more, not to mention not being in touch with each other forever, he couldn't hold on in just over three months. When he saw Tang Zhengqing again, he begged him not to leave, and even lowered his body to beg for forgiveness... How dare he dare to do it again? Take possession in such a threatening way for once?That would only push Tang Zhengqing further away!

Obviously, he wanted to obtain Tang Zhengqing's forgiveness step by step, but now it seems that he has gained very little.

He is still very defensive about himself.

"I'm sure I never thought of using Rong'er to threaten you. Ah Qing, can you stop mocking me like this?" Ao Tianzong said helplessly, "I'm afraid that you will be in danger by yourself."

Tang Zhengqing was silent, and then said: "What danger could there be?"

"..." Ao Tianzong was asked, but he gritted his teeth and did not speak.

But Tang Zhengqing continued: "I am now the unmarried lover of His Royal Highness King Rong, who dares to do anything to me? What's more, didn't His Majesty promulgate the decree of our wedding? This is equivalent to having a gold medal to avoid death. Not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"It's because of me...that's why I'm afraid...I care about you so much, of course I'm afraid that something will happen to you. Now you are pregnant with a child, and you are still so old. You can't protect yourself like you used to. What if something happens to you? It’s too late for me to regret it.”

"You just hoped that something would happen to me, didn't you?" Tang Zhengqing said indifferently, "I don't know who hurt me the most, tortured me, satirized me, even raped me... and now I have such a big belly Let the world see the joke! I don’t want to have this child! After all, you just care about this child, right? Don’t worry, I will guarantee the child’s safety and give him to you safely. In this way, don’t you Can you let me go? Rong, Wang, Your Highness, Your Majesty?"

Ao Tianzong's face was flushed red by Tang Zhengqing's sarcasm, he was speechless, and his heart was in great pain, every sentence, every word was like a sharp sword piercing his heart, the pain made him breathless.

But who can he blame? He can only blame himself for not knowing how to love at the beginning, and for being too tough and leaving no room for it... Tang Zhengqing now hates him so much and is extremely afraid.

"Is that what you think? Do you think I'm chasing you because of the child?" Ao Tianzong could only speak aggrievedly in the end, expressing his position.

Tang Zhengqing probably also realized that his words just now were too sharp, but he had held those words in his heart for a long time. Now that the child is more than eight months old, it is conceivable that those words, those complaints, were made as early as eight months ago and even It had existed in the depths of his mind nine months earlier.Now it is a lot more comfortable to say it at such an opportunity, but he is not the kind of person who is unreasonable and unforgiving after all, he has always been gentle and soft-hearted. Somewhat soft-hearted.

But the words had already been spoken, and they were from his heart, he didn't regret saying them, but he just didn't want to meet Ao Tianzong's hurt eyes for the time being, so Tang Zhengqing looked away and asked Ao Tianzong's question: "Isn't it?"

Isn't it because of the children?

Ao Tianzong originally put away the roast duck and came back to stand in front of the sofa. At this moment, he sighed wearily and knelt down on one knee to make himself not so superior, and even much shorter than Tang Zhengqing. In this way, he seemed to be more Inferior.

Ao Tianzong reiterated in a soft voice with a rare good temper: "Ah Qing, let me repeat, I am not chasing you because of the child, the person I love is you, and I want to take care of you and take care of you for the rest of my life. At that time, I clearly knew that both of us are men, and it is impossible to have offspring, so I have long been prepared to have no offspring. You are the first person to live in my heart, and I can’t let go! You know what!! !"

"I'm not chasing you back because of the child. Of course, it's better to have a child. We can raise him together and enjoy family happiness. But I don't have any regrets without him. I only need you."

"Ah Qing... a lifetime is so long, without you by my side, how lonely my life would be..."
