end of days

"Then... Daddy will definitely come back, right?" Zhuo Yu's eyes flashed with hope, Zhuo Ran had no choice but to nod again, but even he himself was not sure whether it was possible for him to return to this place.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Hearing Zhuo Ran's assurance, Zhuo Yu finally let go of the hand that was tightly gripping the corner of Zhuo Ran's clothes.

But at this moment, Xuanyuanhen walked into Concubine Jing's Palace again.

"What's bothering Your Majesty?" Jingyi asked softly after making a cup of tea for Xuanyuanhen.

Xuanyuanhen didn't speak, just stared at the glass filled with water, as if he was about to stare a hole, but Jingyi knew that Xuanyuanhen was just in a daze, the emperor had more troubles than ordinary people There are countless things hidden in my heart today.

Few people know that the emperor often comes to her palace these days just to keep quiet, and the conversation between the two is also very little, Jing Yi couldn't help but sigh when thinking about this, but she soon felt relieved.

The previous half month of living like a cold palace has long since wiped out her last bit of expectation. She lives alone in the remote Jianjia Palace. After getting Zhaoyi, they avoided her, and it was even more impossible for other court ladies and eunuchs to take the initiative to talk to her who offended Concubine Shu.

After a few days, she felt that she could barely speak anymore, no one talked, no one joked, and the free life of the little palace maid before became a luxury, and she even thought that she would die quietly in a certain place. In the dark night, no one cares.

It wasn't until Xuanyuanhen entered Jianjia Palace for the first time that Jingyi felt that her life had some color again, not because of her admiration for Xuanyuanhen, but because Xuanyuanhen's arrival gave her a long-lost sense of freedom.

At least, she now has someone to talk to, and others don't respect her as before.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing a smile on Jingyi's face, Xuanyuanhen couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's nothing, the concubine just feels that her current life is really satisfying."

"Oh? You don't want me to treat you better?" The calmness in Jingyi's eyes clearly indicated that she was not aiming to retreat. rare.

"Your Majesty has someone in his heart, so Jingyi naturally has no reason to be wishful thinking. If she lives peacefully, the concubine will be satisfied." After finishing speaking, Jingyi caressed her belly that had not yet bulged, her face was full of tenderness. .

"In that case, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

A grateful smile appeared on Jingyi's face, and she suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty Rong Jingyi has the courage to ask, the people in the Quehua Palace..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't mention it." Xuanyuanhen waved his hand, obviously unwilling to mention this matter, but Jingyi has roughly understood the relationship between the emperor and Zhuo Ran from the inadvertent flicker in his eyes and the occasional expression of satisfaction. what happened.

"Your tea is very good, and I feel much more comfortable. I still have papers to approve, so I'm leaving first."

"Respectfully send off Your Majesty." After taking Xuanyuanhen away, Jingyi just burst out laughing. It seems that the emperor and Zhuoran still have some way to go. I don't know if the emperor can walk smoothly.

Xuanyuanhen felt that he had nowhere to go after leaving Jianjia Palace. He wanted to go to Quehua Palace but he was afraid of irritating Zhuoran. He was afraid that that person would still regret his actions yesterday, so it was better not to provoke him.

While walking, thinking about Zhuo Ran's appearance at this time, Xuanyuanhen suddenly raised his head and realized that he had involuntarily walked near the Quehua Hall. He was about to step in, but saw De Yu appearing anxiously in front of him.

"Master—there is a situation!" De Yu handed over a bamboo tube with a solemn expression, and Xuanyuanhen immediately became serious when he saw it.

"Go, go to the imperial study and talk about it in detail."

Xuanyuanhen didn't dare to neglect Qinglong's military information from the frontier.

In the imperial study room, Xuanyuanhen tapped his knuckles on the table lightly, making a "tap-tap" sound, resting his chin on one hand, obviously thinking about something, the piece of silk that was just taken out of the bamboo tube was spread out on the table.

Xidi, there is a change.

He didn't show his face, but concentrated his troops to the frontier bit by bit, obviously wishful thinking for a sudden attack, Xuanyuanhen was secretly glad that he had made arrangements earlier.

However, Xidi's military strength should not be underestimated. This battle is imperative. As for how to fight, it is a matter of careful consideration. Suzaku, of course, commanded all the subordinates of the Moon Department as usual.

At this time in the Quehua Palace, Suzaku was explaining her arrangement to Zhuo Ran in detail. Concubine De, who had rushed over after receiving Zhuo Ran's message, saw the most powerful woman among the dark guards for the first time. In order to make friends, they all felt that they were the same people at the first time.

"Why did you suddenly have to advance to tonight?"

"Xidi has an urgent military report. Your Majesty will concentrate on government affairs and will not be distracted here. This opportunity could not be better," Suzaku paused, and then said, "Besides, the other two secret guards are also in the imperial study. It’s more convenient for me since they’re all from the Moon Department.”

Concubine De nodded clearly, she really shouldn't miss this opportunity.

Zhuo Ran suddenly felt that maybe God agreed with him to leave the palace, otherwise how could there be a battle report at this time, but he was also very shaken in his heart, after all, the country was in trouble, but he was thinking about these things, it really shouldn't be.

"Then why wait until dark? What if His Majesty comes here at night."

"...Xiaoyu's birthday, I want to spend as much time with him as possible."

"Forget it, His Majesty will not come over tonight. It is estimated that he will stay in the imperial study all night to think about how to deal with it, and he will not leave for a while."

After Suzaku said this, Concubine De finally felt relieved and nodded, she left as hurriedly as when she came, and now it was not long before dark, and she still had to slightly change the original arrangement, Suzaku was also in shape In a flash, it disappeared into the shadows.

For the rest of the time, Zhuo Ran just hugged Xiao Yu quietly, and Zhuo Yu seemed to feel the breath of parting, and nestled in Zhuo Ran's arms motionless.

When the night fell, Zhuo Ran finally let go of Xiaoyu's tight embrace.

"Daddy must come back." Zhuo Yu's tears, which he had held back for a long time, finally burst out like a dike, making Zhuo Ran feel distressed.

"Xiaoyu..." After being cruel, Zhuo Ran took Zhuo Yu back to his room and let him sleep, then took advantage of the night to leave the Quehua Palace where he had lived for a month.

One month, neither short nor long, short as if the past days were just a dream, long enough to be unforgettable, as if this whole life was inside.

On the second day, Quehua Hall caused an uproar. Yunqing and Yunche didn't see Zhuoran early in the morning, thinking that Zhuo Ran hadn't woken up yet, so he didn't bother him.It wasn't until the sun was high that the two of them realized that something had happened, and hurriedly reported to Xuanyuanhen in shock.

Xuanyuanhen's anger can be imagined, he thought that the two of them would see dawn soon, but unexpectedly, in just half a day, Zhuo Ran quietly left the palace.

In a fit of rage, Xuanyuanhen even wanted to kill Yun Qing, Yun Che and Xiao Xizi who were incapable of doing things, but because of Zhuo Yu's stubbornness, he finally gave up.

"Daddy said he would definitely come back!" Zhuo Yu spoke eloquently.

"..." Although Xuanyuanhen didn't say anything on his face, he snorted coldly in his heart. He didn't take it seriously. Zhuo Ran disappeared without warning. I'm afraid it wasn't a day or two after the plan. This situation made him believe that he would still Come back, is it a joke!

However, Xuanyuanhen didn't dare to openly send someone to arrest Zhuoran after the anger was over. This is one of the reasons for Zhuoran's innocence. Knowing that Zhuo Ran has left the palace, he also believes that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Zhuo Ran will definitely not seek Cheng Yumo's help!

Therefore, after leaving the Quehua Palace, no one knew that there was one person missing in the palace. In other people's hearts, Zhuo Ran was still living in the Quehua Palace, whether it was Cheng Yumo who missed him, or Concubine Xiao Shu and Concubine Yu who were jealous of him.

The situation in the frontier was urgent, and Xuanyuanhen spent day and night reviewing mountains of documents, but secretly never gave up looking for someone.

The days, at this pace, pass by little by little...
