C151 (2/2)
The emperor gently caressed her cheek. With a doting look in his weak eyes, he said, ”Where's my daughter? Come and teach me.”
Siyan ordered the palace maids to carry the little princess, while she guarded the emperor closely. She wanted to write a letter to the emperor and his empress to invite them back to the capital, afraid that she wouldn't be able to take care of her husband.
”Idiot, I'm fine, don't alert them. They're very carefree right now.” Xiang Run laughed, ”In the future, when we are old, if my son is a promising child like us, we can also freely roam the four seas. Perhaps one day, this meditation technique will become the tradition of my Daqi Nation Imperial Family, and everyone in tens of thousands of years will be envious of us.”
”Your Majesty, what kind of nightmare did you have? Who was it that couldn't get along with you in the dream?” Siyan had no time to think about the future, or the matters that would happen in ten million years. She could only hope that the person before her would be able to peacefully recover.
Not only was the emperor troubled by nightmares, he began to fear falling asleep. Sometimes he would stay awake all night, and even his iron body would not be able to withstand such torture.
”Can you tell me that? If not, it's not good for you, and it's not good for me either. Don't tell me that we want to be the empress with the shortest lifespan in the history of Daqi Nation?” Siyan panicked and said whatever she wanted to say, naturally provoking the Emperor's rebuke.
On this side, Xiaowan carried the little princess who had just fallen asleep and carefully walked through the long corridor.
Because of this, the other palace maids would not enter even if they were not summoned. After lifting the cotton curtain to send Xiaowan and Princess into the hall, they left.
The Xiaowan walked over softly. Just as she was about to turn around the screen, she heard the emperor say to the empress, ”When I promised you that I would never stare at the Xiaowan again, nor chase her away, I had a bad dream. I dreamt of Ling Chaofeng taking his life from me, of Xiaowan seeking revenge against me, of those old officials seeking justice, unable to rest at peace every night. Afterwards, I dreamt of the deceased Grand Tutor. In his dream, he told me that as long as the Xiaowan was sent out of the Imperial City, the world would be at peace. ”
Hearing this, the Xiaowan's heart tensed up, and the emperor continued, ”But we promised you that we would never go against the Xiaowan again. We must have thought about it day and night, and dreamed about the existence of the Xiaowan s. This dream was definitely born because we were worried about the existence of the Xiaowan s in our hearts. Don't worry, it will be over soon. ”
”Your Majesty …”
”Yan'Er, I will definitely make it through this. You stay with me.” The Emperor said, ”From tonight onwards, I will no longer be afraid of nightmares. Even if I dream, I will ignore them. In the future, you should come to Qingming Pavilion around noon and coax us to have a nap. This way, we can more or less make up for it. ”
The Xiaowan subconsciously retreated, purposely making a commotion in front of the door before carrying the Little Princess in. She smiled gently like usual, but the Queen obviously avoided her gaze.
Even if he avoided her, Xiaowan did not know how to face her.
It was a good day, but the imperial city was shrouded in gloom. When Xiaowan left the Culture Hall, he met Hubby on her way there, but there was no one around him. She ran over and asked, ”Hubby, did you hear what the emperor said?”
Ling Chaofeng said: ”I knew it from the beginning.”
Xiaowan asked, ”Then why didn't you tell me?”
Ling Chaofeng was silent for a moment, then said: ”I was selfish. I held onto hope, and hoped that the emperor would be able to endure. I didn't expect …”
He had originally thought that the people above were only trying to use any means at all, but they had persisted in tormenting themselves for so long. Did they not care for their lives, or did they not care about ten thousand years of cultivation?
The Emperor was the chosen one, not to mention the fact that those trashy kings had descended from the heavens, the background of the Xiang father and son wasn't small. They had benefited the common people in the human world, and would return to the Divine Throne once their achievements had been achieved. In order to prevent himself from being together with the Xiaowan, those few people actually dared to make a move on the emperor.
Ling Chaofeng said, ”I thought that someone would stop them soon, but who would have thought that their act would get more intense.”
”They?” She laughed bitterly, ”It's still that bunch of deities who ate their fill of food. They hurt the emperor just to chase me away?”
Ling Chaofeng nodded his head, ”I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be hurt.
”If I don't leave, they will continue to torture the Emperor?” The Xiaowan asked Ling Chaofeng.
”Maybe someone will stop them.”
”Husband, why didn't you go and stop him?”
”I can only deal with fiendish demons.”
Xiaowan shook her head. ”Actually, you're the same as them, you're also following those unreasonable rules. Even if the Emperor is the emperor, he's still a mortal after all. If you move your fingers, we won't be able to live. ”
She suddenly shouted towards the sky, ”You bastards!”
