Chapter 696 Farewell
Chapter 696 Farewell
Yan Shu lay on top of him and kissed him on the lips.
Although the two of them had sex frequently in recent months, Jiang Ci was the one who took the initiative most of the time. He was somewhat flattered by Yan Shu's initiative tonight.
Desire was quickly aroused, Jiang Ci turned over and pressed Yan Shu under him, his deep eyes burning like fire, like a beast staring at the prey handed to its mouth.
"You little fox who stirs up trouble everywhere, don't blame me for torturing you tonight."
Yan Shu stretched out his hand, hooked his neck, smiled coquettishly, and pulled the man towards himself.
The moonlight was like water, and a faint halo spread into the house through the window lattice. The candlelight swayed with the breeze, illuminating the human figures intertwined in the purple gauze curtain.
Yan Shu's initiative made Jiang Ci crazy. At that moment, time seemed to stand still. She only felt the burning temperature of his chest and his violently beating heart, and felt their skin pressed against each other, closely connected. The waves surged, drowning the person sinking in the sea of desire.
The sky was turning pale as someone picked up Yan Shu and took him to the side hall bathhouse to take a bath.
At this moment, Yan Shu felt sore and sticky all over, and he was in a daze. He soaked in the warm bath, curled up in Jiang Ci's arms like a lazy kitten.
Jiang Ci gently stroked her belly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"When I come back, will this belly contain our child?"
He works so hard tonight, so he should be able to plant the seeds, right?
They had been having sex for such a long time, which cannot be said to be every day, but the frequency was definitely frequent. In addition, he had intentionally asked the imperial kitchen to send tonic medicine, so it shouldn't have taken so long without sex.
Yan Shu's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and the drowsiness feeling suddenly disappeared by half.
"Aci likes children?"
Jiang Ci stroked her back gently: "I don't have any feelings for children, but if it's your child, you will like him."
Yan Shu raised his white hands and gently stroked Jiang Ci's eyebrows. He looked at his appearance affectionately, wanting to imprint it deeply in his mind.
Jiang Ci stared at her with his beautiful eyes: "What's wrong?"
Yan Shu smiled softly: "When I thought about being separated from you for such a long time, I wanted to take a good look at you."
Jiang Ci smiled and raised his hand to touch the back of her hand: "Then you must take a good look at it. I can't be with you for the next few months, so you must always think of me."
"Yeah, I'll miss you."
Jiang Ci sighed softly, his eyes filled with deep reluctance.
"I will miss you every day."
-
next day
At daybreak, tens of thousands of soldiers in the military camp outside the city had assembled and were ready to go. The emperor's personal expedition was a major national event, and many people saw him off on the streets before dawn.
Yan Shu stood on the city wall, watching the young emperor in silver armor sitting high on his horse. Unlike the gentle, affectionate and casual person in front of her, he was now the supreme ruler respected by all people. The power of the emperor was like a dragon emerging from the sea, and he exuded a powerful aura that shocked everyone and made them hold their breath in awe.
Watching the expeditionary team gradually leave, Yan Shu stood alone on the city wall for a long time, until the sun was scorching and the expeditionary team could no longer be seen outside the city, she slowly walked down the city wall.
A carriage was waiting downstairs.
Seeing Yan Shu, Yan Wu immediately jumped off the carriage.
"Little sister."
Yan Shu smiled at him and said, "Second brother, let's go."
"it is good."
After returning to the Cui family, Yan Shu went to meet Mr. Cui.
"Grandfather, thank you for your care during this time. Please accept my granddaughter's greetings."
Yan Shu knelt down to salute, and Old Cui sighed softly and reached out to help her up.
"I have already treated you as my own granddaughter. Now your name has been included in the Cui family tree. No matter what choices you make in the future, it will not change the fact that you are the Cui family's legitimate daughter. But girl, grandpa still wants to know why. Even an old man like me who has seen countless people can see how much His Majesty cares about you. Do you really want to leave him?"
When he learned that Yan Shu was going to return to Xinyang Prefecture while Jiang Ci was away on the expedition, Mr. Cui couldn't figure out why for a long time.
She had worked hard to accompany the new emperor until now, and the new emperor loved her deeply. The position of empress was within her grasp, but she chose to leave at this time. It was really hard to understand.
Yan Shu was silent for a while, then slowly looked out the window.
"Some people can accompany you for a lifetime, but some can only accompany you for a while. I am already very satisfied to have four years of beautiful memories with him, but compared to the luxurious clothes and delicious food in the palace, I yearn for the mountains and the vast seas. After all, this place is not suitable for me."
"But if His Majesty knew that you had left, he would probably go around looking for you."
Yan Shu smiled bitterly: "I probably won't be able to wait for him to come back."
Cui Lao was shocked: "What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing, I should be going to a very far place."
Seeing that Yan Shu had made up his mind, Mr. Cui no longer felt conflicted.
"Okay, Grandfather respects your choice."
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in the study and came in front of Yan Shu like a gust of wind.
"Little fool, come with me."
Before Yan Shu could answer, he grabbed her wrist and disappeared in an instant.
Yan Shu only saw a flash of white light before his eyes, and in just a moment he arrived at a house.
"Small town, where did you bring me to?"
"I asked the town to bring you here."
Yan Shu looked inside the house following the sound. The door slowly opened and several familiar figures walked out.
Great-Master Uncle Xuanheng was walking in front, and Great-Master Uncle Xuankong and Liu Hanyue were following behind him?
Why is he here too?
Liu Hanyue stared at her expressionlessly: "Sister, you've kept it a secret from me, so I'm miserable."
Yan Shu immediately understood that he must have known that she didn't have much time left.
"Let's talk inside."
Yan Shu followed the others back into the house. Xuan Heng and Xuan Kong both checked her pulse, and from their expressions they could tell that the situation was not ideal.
Liu Hanyue asked: "Master, how is her condition?"
Xuan Kong glanced at Yan Shu and said, "Yan girl, you are also a doctor with great medical skills. You should be very clear about your own physical condition, right?"
Yan Shu nodded: "I'm afraid my body won't last much longer. Thank you, my two uncles, for still thinking of me."
Xuan Heng sighed softly: "The medicine I gave you before is no longer effective. Come back to Qingyun Mountain with us. The spiritual energy there is abundant and it is more suitable for you to recuperate."
"I will definitely go to Qingyun Mountain, but for now I want to go back to Xinyang Prefecture to see my parents and brothers."
Xuan Heng and Xuan Kong looked at each other.
"Okay, after we deal with these things, let A Yue take you back to Qingyun Mountain."
