When the sword was about to cut down on my neck, I really thought that I was going to die. When a person was in extreme fear, they would not think of anything unnecessary. Their mind would just be blank.
It wasn't like what was written in the drawing books that had been passed down. He wouldn't remember a lot of the past. At most, he would only have a few seconds of near-death experience.
I used those few seconds to accept that he was really leaving me, and at the same time, I remembered that he didn't know me at all.
Therefore, everything became natural. I didn't have any complicated feelings. Being killed by a sword was better than being bitten to death by a wolf.
There was a loud bang in my ear. I opened my eyes and saw a huge steel knife in front of me. The person holding it was a braised pig's hand. Ah, no, it was Guard Lu.
"Brother Yingwu?" I excitedly called out the title I had given him in my heart. At the same time, I heard that Song'e had just run to this area. Her signature big breath after running made me feel that I wouldn't die so quickly.
"Your Majesty, you must not move. There might be poison on the sword.”Guard Lu glared at the leader of the men in black in front of him. The aura between the two of them was enough to slap my face. Even if he didn't say anything, I didn't dare to move. Although my face isn't that pretty, I still want it.
"Song'e! Quickly pull the Imperial Consort away." I didn't forget to tell Song'e to quickly pull Zhang Xiaomang to a safe place. At first, I was worried that he would throw the doll away because it was a hindrance, but on second thought, it was more important for him to survive, so I forced myself not to think about those things in my mind.
It doesn't matter. He won't go back with me anyway. But no one can change my mind about wanting him to live.
I watched as Song'e and the Imperial Concubine arrived at a relatively safe place. I lowered my head and used two fingers to probe the black-clothed leader's weak point, wanting to disrupt his attack rhythm. When the surrounding men in black saw another strong man on the field, they immediately panicked.
"Why is it different from the plan?" I heard one of them ask the leader.
Before the leader could answer, he realized that my finger was rushing towards the back of his neck. In front of him, there was Lu Guarding's steel knife. He immediately panicked. He doesn't give me the feeling of a professional killer, but rather a part-time killer who does this for some reason.
However, if not for Lu Guarding here to help me, the few of them could have killed me ten times over.
Since Guard Lu was able to become the deputy guard of the palace, he naturally had some martial arts. He saw the leader hesitate for a moment and immediately lifted his sword into the air. As soon as the sword left his hand, its aura immediately weakened and it fell into the quagmire beside him.
Guard Lu took advantage of the leader's surprise and pulled off his black mask. I looked at it and suddenly felt my memories being triggered.
She felt as if she had seen this person somewhere before.
It wasn't just the leader. There were a few men in black around him who looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen them before.
From a small path on a hill not far away, the divine doctor's medium-sized carriage appeared. Now, it seemed that this carriage was really professional. No matter what kind of road it was on, it looked just right.
A few imperial physicians with swords and sabers alighted from the divine doctor's carriage. They did not notice that the baskets of medicinal herbs were all weapons for self-defense.
The godly doctor hid in the carriage and observed the situation outside. When he saw Noble Consort Zhang, he was stunned. His eyes seemed to ask," Why are you here? Or, why are you still here?"
When the group of men in black saw so many people coming over, they knew that they probably could not fight head-on. They quickly fled north with their leader.
Guard Lu still wanted to chase after him, but I stopped him." Don't chase a desperate enemy. Don't chase a desperate enemy."”
"Your Majesty, although these people's kung fu isn't that good, their equipment is professional. They're definitely not ordinary bandits. Besides, I know what he wants to say. Someone like me doesn't look like a rich person.
Seeing that the chaos had subsided, the divine doctor quietly got down from the carriage and walked to the Imperial Consort. He quickly released his curiosity." Your Highness, why are you back again?”
I looked at Noble Consort Zhang who was standing next to Song'e. I wanted to hear how he would answer the divine doctor's question, but he still didn't speak. Only Guard Lu didn't know the other two men.
He pointed at Noble Consort Zhang and the divine doctor and asked me," Your Majesty, who are these two?”
I was a little tired and shook my head. Song Er quickly came over to help me and explained to him," This is the imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty. This is the 'divine doctor' of the Southern Dynasty.”
Hearing this, Guard Lu quickly clenched his fists at the two of them." My apologies, my apologies. I'm the Deputy Garrison of Youzhou Palace. My surname is Lu.”
The divine doctor bowed to him with a flattering expression, but after a while, he immediately muttered to the imperial concubine with a worried expression,"Why are you back there again?"
I said," Don't worry. No matter what he thinks, I'll give you what I promised.”
When the divine doctor heard me say this, his expression immediately relaxed a lot. It seemed that what the imperial concubine promised him before was not much better than what I promised him. However, the divine doctor is still a little worried. I feel that he understands the noble consort's homesickness even more than I do.
Noble Consort Zhang didn't move. I thought he might not want to see me, but I still had a lot to say to him.
Guard Lu said goodbye to us and then hugged Song'e reluctantly. Song'e was a little stunned, but she still hugged him back and smiled at him.
I winked at him, meaning that we would probably meet again in the future, and there were still many places where I could use him. He received the message and nodded. Then, he closed his eyes and said goodbye to Song'e, and rode away.
The imperial physicians and attendants gradually got into the carriage. The divine doctor looked at Noble Consort Zhang and me and sighed. He rode on his horse and did not look at us.
Song'e wanted to bring me to the carriage, so I said you guys go up first and give us some private space to talk.
Everyone dispersed, and now there were only the two of us left.
"Are you leaving?"
I was asking the obvious, pretending as if I didn't know anything. I only knew that I didn't want him to leave, so I played dumb and didn't accept it so quickly.
Although I had already accepted it when I thought that I was going to die, I thought that I would definitely lose him.
He still didn't speak. He wasn't like this usually. I feel very, very uncomfortable, but why shouldn't he leave? What could make him stay?
"It's fine if you go back. I'll treat it as if you've always been in Weiyang Palace. I won't tell anyone if they ask.”
I turned my head away after saying that.
I think tonight might be the last time I see him. I'm afraid that if I really cry and let him laugh at me, that won't be good. I won't be happy.
He was silent. After a while, he actually opened his mouth. I thought he would never speak to me again. He didn't know me in the first place.
"I don't want to take this doll back, nor do I want to throw it away.”
After listening to him, I slowly turned my face back. I didn't know what expression I had at that time, but I saw that he was looking at me. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, just looking at me calmly.
Then, I spoke very softly. I just wanted to ask, but I didn't know what kind of answer he would give me.
"You're not leaving?"
"I haven't seen those pear blossoms bloom yet.”
"You're not leaving?"
He shook his head. I thought he was denying it. He was going to leave later. I saw his eyes that were originally looking at me slowly droop.
"Just this one time. I'll leave again next time.”
...
When we came back, we sat on the same side of the carriage. Song'e said that she had never seen such a fat and big horse. She wanted to drive the carriage with the divine doctor.
He was sitting next to me, but his eyes were only looking out the window. I knew I wasn't there.
I looked at him without blinking and saw that he was still holding the doll in his hand.
On the way back, the carriage happened to pass by a shadow puppet stall. The lively sound of the art made people feel very heroic and powerful even if they only heard fragments of the story.
I looked at his particularly good-looking side profile. After my attention was attracted, I was fully focused. My lower eyelashes fluttered with the blink of an eye.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that he was once frivolous. In places I couldn't see, in times when I didn't appear, he always had a dear self, but I still don't have one.
My own eyes are looking at him now, and my heart suddenly feels like it's sinking into a very deep place, and it keeps sinking.
I started to pull the doll in his hand. When I pulled it, it was awkward and strangely sad. I didn't want to smoke and wanted to leave the doll to him, but I still felt that I should take it back.
He sensed what I was doing. He turned around and pulled the doll to the side where I couldn't reach it." What?”
I didn't say anything. I wanted to continue pulling the doll back, but he gently knocked my hand away." I'm not giving it to you.”
I looked at him. This time, he knew to look at me.
"This is mine."
He hugged the doll tightly, then gently hugged me, who was gradually beginning to cry, into his arms, closer to him and his doll.
