I put on my hat and walked back with the doll in my arms. It was the afternoon, and it was almost evening. There shouldn't have been so many people on the street, but for some reason, there were many people today. They squeezed together, left and right.
I held the doll tighter, hoping that I could protect it from the pedestrians on the road. Then I tried very hard to weave through the crowd, trying to walk slowly back to the teahouse.
I heard so many people talking to each other on the street. I heard them say," They're coming back, they're coming back "," I saw it, I saw it ". At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, until I remembered the rumors in the teahouse that Zhang Xiaomang was going back to the North and making a comeback.
I stopped and stood by the street to listen carefully. There were more and more people on the street. Almost everyone talked about this matter when they first met someone. It was about Zhang Xiaomang returning to the North and leaving the Southern Dynasty.
Everyone was talking about it, everyone was talking about it…I looked down at the doll in my arms. It was as if a huge hole had suddenly appeared in my heart. I felt that my heart was completely at a loss.
Because it seems like everyone in the world is saying the same thing now. I don't think it's just a rumor anymore.
I thought to myself, No, I have to find him. I haven't given him the doll yet.
I looked around and found that this was the north side of Natural Market. If I walked westward, I would almost see a large-scale medicinal materials farm on the edge of Youzhou City.
Didn't he say that he wanted some precious herbs? There were all kinds of medicinal herbs there. Was it very likely that he would go there?
Thinking of this, I began to push through the crowd and run west. The people around me looked at me, not knowing what I was going to do.
Of course, they knew about it, because none of them had a consort.
Because she's my imperial consort.
I kept running to the west, until my legs were sore and sore, but I didn't stop. In the end, I almost lost my way, so I stopped and squatted down to determine the direction of the surrounding medicinal herb field.
The sky was already reaching the final step of darkness. I saw the light of a lamp and the smell of burning medicinal herbs on a short mountain not far away. I knew that the medicinal herb farm was almost there.
After I made my judgment, I stood up abruptly, but I didn't realize that there was a very large rock in front of me. As a result, I tripped and fell to the ground, and my right knee was bleeding.
When I was about to fall down, I noticed that there was a big puddle beside me. I was afraid that the doll would fall into it because I lost my balance, so I wrapped it with my body so that it wouldn't get dirty.
I tried to stand up, but the pain was still very effective. It seemed that I had to stay on the ground for a while longer. When the pain subsided a little, I would stand up and look for him.
The sky was completely dark, and I heard sounds that didn't seem human coming from the mountains further away. I listened carefully. It seemed to be the cry of a wolf, and the cry was getting closer and closer, one after another.
I was a little scared and wanted to shout for help but didn't dare. I'm afraid it'll attract the wolves even faster.
Should he try pretending to be dead? I carefully put the doll back into my clothes and lay on the ground with my eyes closed.
Slowly, the wolf cries seemed to fade away. I heaved a sigh of relief, but I heard footsteps not far from me.
I quietly opened my eyes, but I had been closed for too long. I was not used to it when I first opened them, so I rubbed my eyes with my hands.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a light in front of me. Standing in the light was my imperial concubine.
When I first saw him, I thought I was seeing things. After rubbing my eyes a few more times and shaking my head, I opened my eyes again and saw him.
"Noble Consort? Is that you?" I asked him curiously and excitedly to see if he would answer me. If he doesn't answer me, then I might be hallucinating.
He didn't answer me, but he continued to walk toward me with the torch in his hand. He saw the blood on my leg and was silent for a while. Then he raised his hand and picked me up from the ground.
"Have you finished buying the medicinal herbs? This place is very big, and I almost got lost just now.”After seeing him, I couldn't help but feel very happy.
I saw that he had changed into a new set of clothes and was no longer wearing the imperial physician's uniform. The clothes he was wearing now did not look like the men's clothing of the Southern Dynasty. The style of the clothes was very similar to the doll clothes in my clothes.
I remembered my doll and quickly took it out of my arms and put it in his other hand that did not hold the torch. In order to prevent his hands from getting a little dirty, I held his hand up and blew on his palm before putting the doll down.
"What is this?" He watched me carefully put the doll in his hand and finally asked me. I heard his voice a little hoarse.
"This is the gift I bought for you. Actually, I haven't told you yet…I came out today to buy this for you…but I didn't expect you to come out too.”
He listened to me but didn't answer me. He just quietly looked at the doll sitting in his hand.
" It looks like me, doesn't it? If I make you angry again, you can hit it. Of course, you can hit me at the opposite door."
I thought that he would be happy if I gave him the doll. " Moreover, the doll's clothes are from the Northern Dynasty. Once he sees it, he shouldn't miss home so much. He shouldn't leave me one day.
He didn't speak, and I was a little scared. I didn't follow the conversation I had with the lady boss earlier and tell him that I hope he can always be by your side for me, because I didn't want him to leave me at all.
I don't think he'll leave me, even though he misses home sometimes.
He still didn't say anything, so I continued.
"I know that you want to go home a lot of times, and I don't know what I can do for you…but with it, you can always see what it looks like.”
Actually, when I said this, I hoped that he would look at me more, because this doll really looked like me.
"Although I don't know when the divine doctor will arrive, we can go back to town together. Song'e should still be waiting for me in the teahouse. When the time comes, we can find a car to go back together…Oh right, you also think that the divine doctor is very unreliable, right?”I leaned close to his ear, just like how I used to snitch to the palace maids during Mr. Taifu's class. I want to get closer to him.
"I don't think he's unreliable.”He finally opened his mouth and said something that I didn't understand.
"Ah?" I was stunned, not knowing what he meant.
"I didn't think he was unreliable. I called him over and bribed him to send me back to Yanjing.”
I lowered my head and looked at the doll sitting in his hand. I didn't know what to do.
"You…"
I was about to speak when he interrupted me again.
"You don't have to wait for me to go back. I have my own place to go back to.”
"But…"
"No buts."
It seemed like there was no 'but' anymore. I took a few steps back and wanted to take the doll back, but I didn't reach out.
"Ji Shenyang." I heard him call me.
"You can leave now."
I moved my feet, but my mind kept thinking that he was still there, that my imperial concubine was still there, and my feet became unable to move even if I wanted to.
He sighed and looked down at the doll I gave him.
I thought he would return the doll to me by throwing it away, but I heard more complicated footsteps behind him.
"Hurry up and leave!" He shouted at me, and I was at a loss for what to do. I could only instinctively look behind him.
A group of sharp-eyed men in black gradually trotted towards us. There were about five or six of them. I saw that each of them had a shiny sword in their hands.
I wanted to run immediately. Fear made me forget the pain in my right leg at that moment.
But I didn't, because he was still there.
I limped to his side and smiled at him." I don't think I can leave. Hurry up and go to Natural Square to find Song'e. She must still be there."”
He grabbed the doll in his hand tightly. The men in black were about to come to our side. The moment their leader saw me, he immediately pulled out his sword that was originally half-open in the sheath. I saw them coming over and trembled slightly.
Actually, I really want to leave, but I can't leave him here. Besides, he doesn't know martial arts.
Because he married me and is my imperial consort. If I die, I will die before him.
The leader of the men in black immediately stabbed at me with his sword. I barely dodged, but my legs were not strong enough to support me, and I almost fell down again.
Zhang Xiaomang was still standing there, motionless, holding the doll I gave him.
The other men in black couldn't just sit around and do nothing. They worked together and surrounded me, but Zhang Xiaomang still didn't leave.
The chaotic swords were sharp and looked very terrifying. One of the swords took advantage of the moment when I turned my head to look at him and attacked the place between him and me.
I could have dodged, but I knew it was too late. I chose to push him to the side first.
At that moment, I could even see my reddened eyes in the reflection of the sword.
Actually, there were times when I was very suspicious along the way.
I suspect that he is not here to buy medicinal herbs.
I suspect that the rumors spreading on the streets are all true.
I suspected that the words I said to him in my heart when I got off the carriage had no effect at all. No matter how much I will miss him, he will not come back.
He would not return to the Southern Dynasty, just as he had said. He had his own home, and he had always missed it.
I was so suspicious that I even felt that the unharmed him in front of me, who refused to leave, seemed to have come with these people. He was like one of them.
But I still didn't want to think that way.
But I still chose to believe him.
I said to him,"Noble Consort, let's go."”When I said this, I tried my best to be calm so that he wouldn't feel any burden or burden me with the steps that I was extremely familiar with while he was fleeing for his life.
