The next day, Hanzhen woke up early to wash up. She had prepared many gifts for Yun Chu yesterday. Zhi Song didn't say anything and just quietly watched Han Zhen busy herself. He thought that he would be at a loss when he saw Yun Chu again. Now that he was about to see Yun Chu, his heart was much calmer. He suddenly remembered a scene when he was young: He sat under the swing that he had made for Yun Chu, holding the bell and missing Yun Chu. At that time, Feng Ling ran over and told him that Yun Chu might become the Empress. At that time, he gritted his teeth and said that he did not believe it. Even now, he could still feel the heartache when he heard that. But now, ever since Hanzhen married him, he had never been to the swing. She didn't know if the bell she gave Yun Chu was still with her.
"Husband, you're in a daze again. We've packed everything, let's go.”Han Zhen came over and nudged Zhi Song who was in a daze, her face full of joy. It seemed that Hanzhen really missed Yunchu.
Zhi Song nodded, and the two of them got up and rushed to the southern suburbs.
The Southern Suburbs Courtyard was located at the southernmost part of the Holy Capital. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers and was a rare holy place to recuperate. It was built during Tian Ze's reign to avoid the heat.
When they entered the courtyard, Han Zhen's face was filled with excitement. At this moment, a young servant girl came up to her.
"This servant greets the princess."
Han Zhen was surprised and asked,""You know bengong?" Han Zhen said as she sized up the little servant girl.
"This servant used to be a servant in the palace and met the princess.”the servant girl said respectfully.
Han Zhen nodded and said," Where is Yunchu? Take me to see her quickly."”
The little servant girl pointed at the small stone road in the distance and said,"Princess, follow this stone path to the end. Miss Chen is in the small garden at the end. This servant saw that the weather was a little cold and Miss Chen's body was thin. She was about to go back to the room to get a coat for Miss.”
Han Zhen heard this and quickly said,"Okay, then you go quickly. We'll go over by ourselves."”She turned to Zhi Song and smiled sweetly." Let's go."”Then, he pulled Zhi Song's hand and walked towards the small garden at the end.
The small path was very quiet. Bamboo was planted on both sides of the road, making it fresh and elegant. Hanzhen didn't say anything along the way. She just held onto Zhisong's hand tightly, as if she was nervous about the upcoming reunion.
After a while, they reached the end of the path and the view before their eyes widened.
He saw a parasol tree standing in the middle of the courtyard. The tall parasol tree was full of light purple parasol flowers. Under the parasol tree was a swing, and a beautiful woman in white was sitting on the swing, floating back and forth. Her face was calm and tranquil. Everything was as beautiful as a painting. Han Zhen and Zhi Song were stunned, not wanting to ruin the beautiful scene in front of them.
Finally, Han Zhen couldn't take it anymore. She rushed forward and grabbed the rope of the swing. The swing stopped instantly. Han Zhen looked at Yun Chu with tears in her eyes and asked with a trembling voice," Yun Chu, do you still remember me?”
"Hanzhen." Yun Chu looked at Han Zhen and said softly.
Han Zhen suddenly hugged Yun Chu." Do you know how much I've missed you these past few years? Why did you only come back now? I thought I would never see you again. You didn't look for me after you came back.”Hanzhen kept crying while hugging Yun Chu. Yun Chu didn't say anything and just let her hug her.
Zhi Song watched from afar and couldn't help but feel sad.
After a while, Hanzhen was tired of crying and slowly let go of Yunchu. Yun Chu wiped away Hanzhen's tears with heartache and still did not speak.
"Are you alright?" Han Zhen asked. He looked serious.
"I'm fine." Yun Chu said lightly.
"You're not good." Han Zhen held Yun Chu's hand, which was wiping her tears." You weren't like this before. You used to love to smile so much. Why are you so cold now? Are you unhappy to see me?"”
"No, Hanzhen. I'm just too lonely. A lot of things have happened in the past few years.”Yun Chu hugged Han Zhen and said faintly.
Han Zhen finally broke into a smile." This is my Yunchu. Look at how my makeup is ruined."”As she spoke, she wiped her face smugly. Suddenly, she thought of something. She turned to Zhi Song, who had been standing in the distance silently." Husband, come here. This is Yunchu. Do you recognize her?"”
How could he not know her? Zhi Song felt his heart ache. The person he had been dreaming of had finally appeared in front of him, but he didn't know what to say. Zhi Song walked forward and called out softly,""Yunchu." This name contained too many emotions, because she was once the dream of a young man.
"Brother Zhisong." Yun Chu said softly," Congratulations on your wedding with Hanzhen. It's Yun Chu's fault that I didn't have time to congratulate you."”
Zhi Song looked at the elegant and refined woman in front of him. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He could only stare at her fixedly.
After a while, Han Zhen broke the silence and said to Yun Chu,""Yunchu, I'm going to wash my face. Wait for me here. I'll be back soon.”Han Zhen touched her crying face and looked annoyed. She muttered," I said I wouldn't cry, really…"
"This servant will serve the princess." Xiao Jin, who was at the side, went up to him.
"That's good. Husband, Yunchu, you guys chat first. I'll be back soon.”After saying that, she was led out of the courtyard by Xiao Jin.
Only Yun Chu and Zhi Song were left in the huge courtyard.
"Brother Zhisong, can you give me a push?”Yun Chu said softly, not looking at Zhi Song." When we were young, you always played on the swing with me.”As he spoke, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up into a faint smile.
Zhi Song walked to Yun Qing's side and said gently,"Yunchu, hold on tight." As she spoke, she gently pushed him. In an instant, Yun Chu was floating on the swing like a fairy. Her face was filled with happiness.
Zhi Song looked at Yun Chu's dancing figure and said gently," Yun Chu, do you know that right now, you're as beautiful as a phoenix resting on a parasol tree?"”
"No, I'm not a phoenix. I'm just a footless bird that can only fly with all its might.”After saying that, she suddenly stopped the swing with a sad expression.
Zhi Song accidentally saw the hideous scar on Yun Chu's left hand. Without thinking much, he grabbed Yun Chu's left hand." What's wrong? " You…" Zhi Song looked at the scar. It was a very deep knife wound. In that position, it must be…" Why are you torturing yourself like this? Are you still that Yun Chu? Answer me?"
Yun Chu allowed Zhi Song to grab her hand without struggling because she no longer had the strength to break free. She leaned against the rope on one side of the swing, a trace of sadness on her face." Yun Chu is no longer the Yun Chu of the past. When her mother died, she died once. When her father died, she died again. In the end, she killed herself again. Yun Chu died a long time ago.”
Zhi Songsong slowly loosened his grip on Yun Chu's hand. What was going on? Why did the little girl who loved to laugh and make a fuss become this sorrowful woman in front of him? Zhi Songsong's heart felt worse than a thousand cuts.
"Brother Zhisong, you don't have to worry about me. As long as you and Hanzhen are fine, I'm satisfied.”Yun Chu turned around and looked at Zhi Song gently, forcing a smile.
If you're not happy, how can I be happy? Zhi Song thought to himself but did not say it out loud.
"Yunchu will be entering the palace in a few days, and we may never see each other again in this life. Brother Zhisong, you must take good care of Hanzhen and yourself.”Yun Chu looked at him seriously.
Zhi Song turned his face away and did not dare to look at her again. He was really afraid that he would hug her and take her away regardless of everything. Perhaps she did not know that there was such a man in this world who had always loved her deeply, even if this love was so humble and hopeless. He could only watch her leave again and again, but he was powerless. Perhaps there was a moment when she knew that he loved her, and there was also a moment when she loved him.
The two of them did not speak again. He was silent. A woman in white and a man in white stood quietly under a parasol tree with purple flowers. Perhaps one night, someone would remember this eternal scenery.
