King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

Chapter 401: on parting

  Chapter 401 On the occasion of parting

  The light blue carriage gradually approached, and when it was about to approach the direction of the palace gate, it was stopped by the guards at the palace gate.

   "Who is here!" The guard shouted in a deep voice, with a hint of oppression in his voice.

  After saying that, the father-in-law who was carrying the carriage raised his head, showing an old face, "Our family is ordered by His Majesty to take one person out of the palace for business." Then, he took out a shining golden token from his sleeve.

  Seeing this, the guards' eyes froze, and they hurriedly gave way.

   "Let go!" The headed guard waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

  Hearing this, the guards who were holding long knives all backed away and stood aside respectfully, letting the light blue carriage pass by briskly.

  The carriage drove out of the palace gate and headed towards the streets of the imperial city in the distance.

   "My father-in-law, can you stop for a while?" With a little lonely voice, the father-in-law in the carriage was slightly stunned, and then nodded slightly, "If you have something to do, please hurry up."

  Hearing the words, Zhang Limo in the carriage gently closed his eyes. Knowing the meaning of the words, he sighed subduedly.

Stretching out white jade-like fingers, gently opened the curtain of the carriage, and a faint voice sounded, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I have stayed in the imperial city for so long, I have never seen the imperial city properly, and now I am about to leave , take another look, let’s treat it as nostalgia..."

  Hearing this, the father-in-law shook his head lightly, obviously a little bit disbelieving what he said.

Father, like son. The father-in-law couldn't help but sighed softly. Maybe the beautiful Momo didn't realize that the reason for his stay wasn't what he said at all...

   "Your Majesty, do you want to go down and meet Mr. Mo... Zhang?" Eunuch Yu asked cautiously.

  Jun Li shook his head slowly, "No need." There is no need for that either.

  Eunuch Yu was silent, but his eyes fell on the handsome man who was sticking out of the car curtain not far away, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

  Why bother to miss him, His Majesty doesn't like him at all. This point, presumably he himself knows...

   She didn't come?

  A thought flashed inexplicably in his mind, making his breathing slightly stagnant.

  An inexplicable feeling filled his mind instantly, followed by a needle-like pain from his heart.

  He thought that she came back...

   It seems that he thinks too highly of himself. Who is she, and how can she remember such a small person in her heart. I'm afraid that in the past few days, I have long forgotten that there is such a person as him...

   I heard that a few days ago she sealed a noble gentleman...

  I heard that she only dotes on that Chen Guijun...

   I heard that she treats that noble gentleman like a pearl like a treasure...

  And he, perhaps, is not even a dispensable person.

  She was kind enough to him.

  Obviously knew that he was going to kill her, but not only did she not hold him accountable, she also overturned the case for his father, let him out of the palace, and arranged all the way out for him...

  What else does he have to miss about her?

  Everything was over the moment the carriage drove out of the palace gate...

  He will never be able, and he is not qualified enough, to stand behind her, and as long as he looks up, he can see her reassuring back...

   Even, no longer able to see her appearance, hear her voice...

   There were bursts of dull pain in the heart, and he gently stroked the heart, feeling the beating sound coming from there. The heart is flustered like never before.

  If you give him another chance, he must tell her that he likes her in front of her! It's not the kind of liking for status, nor the liking for power, just the kind of pure liking! He likes her, likes her Junli! Not the emperor of Beirong Kingdom!

  He wants to be by her side forever, even if he is just a shadow in the dark, he will never regret it!

   When did you feel this way?

  He was puzzled, but he had no way of knowing.

  Perhaps, it was the meeting under the pear blossom tree that day, when she leaned in front of him, that dazzling smile...

  Perhaps, it was that day in front of Qinglan Palace that she promised him to save that beauty Feng...

  Perhaps, it was her walking towards him slowly, with her unparalleled and peerless grace in every move...

  Perhaps, it was her unconscious considerate behavior, her soft eyes...

   Maybe…

  Slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of bitterness on the corners of his lips. It turned out that before he knew it, her every move had already been imprinted in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it!

  Looked up at the majestic vermilion palace gate behind him, but there was still no such figure...

   Sure enough, he was asking too much.

  How could she come? Maybe, she didn't remember that today was the day he left the palace.

But…

  Thinking of the father-in-law with the carriage outside, he knew that she remembered...

   It's just that she doesn't bother to come to see him, he, who once wanted to kill her...

   "Master..." Xiao Luzi who was sitting beside him looked at him with worried eyes, hesitant to speak.

  At this moment, no matter how stupid he is, he can still see that Zhang Limo is waiting for someone. And that person, Xiao Luzi almost didn't need to guess, was Zhang Limo's almost hopeless person these days.

   "My lord, if you don't want to leave, we just don't leave." Xiao Luzi said, he knew what the young master was reluctant to part with. Although His Majesty would not like the young master if he continued to stay, it was better than being lost every day after the young master returned home. Besides, the young master is so outstanding, I believe His Majesty will find his goodness...

  Zhang Limo lowered his eyes, how could it be so easy to stay.

  Since she asked him to go and arranged everything, how could she let him stay...

   It was as if she couldn't come to see him off.

   Slowly put down the curtain of the car, gently closed his eyes, his voice was full of loneliness, "Elder-in-law, let's go."

   Very faint voice, but with a sense of loneliness that cannot be ignored, which makes people feel a little distressed.

  The father-in-law didn't say much, the whip in his hand was lightly raised, and the carriage moved slowly.

   Just after a short distance, a hurried voice suddenly came from inside the carriage, "Stop!"

  Hearing this, the father-in-law was slightly startled, and hastily tightened his rope.

  The carriage stopped, but before the father-in-law asked, a figure quickly jumped off the carriage and ran towards the palace gate.

  The father-in-law was startled, only then did he realize that it was Zhang Limo, and immediately chased after him.

  Even though the father-in-law reacted extremely quickly, he couldn't catch up with Zhang Limo who suddenly erupted, so he let him come to the gate of the palace in a daze.

  The guards guarding the palace gate didn't know Zhang Limo, so they aimed their long knives at Zhang Limo one by one. That appearance, as if as long as there is a slight movement in him, he will be chopped under the knife immediately!

   Regarding these, Zhang Limo didn't seem to notice, raised his head, and stared straight at the silver figure on the palace wall...
