Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Fighting for the Way

Long Baiyue sat in the depths of the bamboo forest with her knees hugged, feeling depressed.She didn't know the details yet, but she could tell that what Zi Mian got was not good news.She wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't find him. "Could it be that you have already gone back?" Long Baiyue said to herself sadly. While thinking about it, a cold wind suddenly blew up in the bamboo grove, and the whimpering cold wind carried large snowflakes, fascinating Long Baiyue's eyes for a while.When she brushed off the snow from her face and opened her eyes, Zi Mian was already standing in front of her alone.

"Zi Mian, where have you been?" Long Baiyue quickly got up and ran to his side, looking at him in surprise, "Why did you get wet?" Zi Mian stared at Long Baiyue with her lifeless eyes, staring at her in despair, unable to say anything for a moment.Snow water wet his pale face, his sad expression made Long Baiyue flustered. "Zi Mian..." It was too late to say comforting words, she just felt her breath was suffocated, and she was already hugged tightly by Zi Mian.At this moment, Long Baiyue was stunned with astonishment, her legs couldn't help but go limp.

"Bai Yue," Zi Mian pressed her face on Long Baiyue's shoulders, murmured her name, and said her name higher and higher, as if a dying person was grabbing a life-saving straw, "Bai Yue, Bai Yue..." The cold wind passed through the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves rustled, making his voice even more distressed. Long Baiyue's body trembled, her hands began to tremble - Zi Mian had never called her name like that before, she should be dying of happiness, but why did she feel scared at this moment? Zi Mian's body trembled slightly, the snow on his hair wet Long Baiyue's cheeks, making her cheeks cold.Her hands slowly climbed up Zi Mian's shoulders, tightly grasped his cold and wet winter clothes, hugged him back, and said in a hoarse voice: "Zi Mian..."

In the end what happened? Zi Mian froze, and after a long silence, she whispered hoarsely: "I have nothing left...Bai Yue, I have to go..." "Go? Where are you going?" "Do what I should do..." Zi Mian let go of Long Baiyue, cleaned up her fragile expression, and added numbly, "Go for what should have been mine more than 20 years ago." "It should have belonged to you more than twenty years ago..." Long Baiyue muttered silently, and couldn't help but start to tremble—is it possible that Zi Mian is going to seize power? Zi Mian lowered her head, stared at the inconspicuous thin grave for a while, then turned around and was about to leave.Long Baiyue's heart trembled, her mind went blank, she just rushed up and grabbed his sleeve: "Zi Mian, don't go!"

Zi Mian turned her head back, her empty voice was full of despair: "Why not go? I have nothing left..." "No, no, you still have me, we can..." What can be done?Long Baiyue was stunned - she was in the cold palace.Deep despair seized her mind, she could only let Zi Mian's sleeve slip from her hand, tears fell powerlessly: "Zi Mian, Zi Mian... I like you!" But what else could she do besides yelling such words?Long Baiyue thought that Zi Mian would just go away, and she would just stay where she was and be lonely, but unexpectedly, Zi Mian hugged her again——her confession made him ecstatic, but he who had made up his mind to go It is no longer possible to return: "Bai Yue..."

Forgive me for my recklessness... He let go of her a little bit, saw her frightened look of joy and hurt clearly, and kissed her deeply at this most touching moment. Emotions surged between lips and tongue, and Zi Mian's madness was full of despair, like a general who was at the end of the road, so Long Baiyue could only throw away his helmet and armor all the way.His cold lips made her shiver, she slightly parted her lips and whispered, but couldn't help sobbing. The sea is dry and the stone is rotten. It doesn't mean that the sky will last forever, but it is hoped that it can be done in an instant - it is best to annihilate everything in the world with them, so that life without complaints and regrets can come true.

"I...I like you too, Bai Yue," Zi Mian smiled slightly on her pale face, reaching out to hold her soft black hair, "but I... used to be unwilling to know nothing, but now I am unwilling to have nothing, Bai Yue, am I greedy?" It was enough to get his heart—no matter what he wanted to do, she just had to stand by his side.Long Baiyue shook her head, tears continued to fall, but her choked tone had calmed down: "...I will definitely wait for you here." Zi Mian smiled and lowered her eyes, opened her hands lightly, and let the three thousand black hairs slip from her fingers.Leaving Long Baiyue's warm body, Zi Mian felt even colder as the chill invaded his clothes. He was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether his decision was right or not—what should he do, what can he do, and what should he do? How to do it, he has no idea.He only knew that he had to go in one direction, and that direction had deviated from him for the past twenty-four years. It might be a bloody road, or it might be a dead end, but he couldn't turn his back on it anymore, because there was his mother's resentment on that road. , There are the prime minister's cold eyes and the master's determination, as well as the desire hidden deep in his heart, which has now climbed out of the ugly branches.

It's really ridiculous, I have been calm and calm for many years, but at this moment, the power of desire is so strong and the speed is so fast, Zi Mian almost loathes herself—but Long Baiyue is standing behind him , Said softly that she would wait for him.Her tolerance made Zi Mian feel even more thorny, because he was about to go and never return. Zi Mian's decisive eyes made Long Baiyue's heart ache, she couldn't bear to look again, she closed her eyes in self-deception, and let the sound of Zi Mian's light footsteps disappear into the bamboo forest little by little.

Half a day later, Long Baiyue realized that Zi Mian had left, she slumped down on the ground, and finally burst into tears.When Princess Yunyang walked into the forest, she saw her crying helplessly. "It's really boring." Princess Yunyang kicked the bamboo leaves beside her feet, the light in her indifferent eyes flickered, and her expression was a little downcast, "It seems to be like this all the way, from before to now...it's always been like this." The bamboo grove was full of Long Baiyue's heartbroken crying, which never stopped for a long time.She sat on the ground and let out her pain, knowing that Princess Yunyang had been standing by her side all the time, in the end she couldn't help crying and asked: "Princess...what did you say to him...why..."

Why did he have to leave in the end, they should have been happy from now on... The year she spent with him, after all, couldn't he heal his years of grievances... After Zi Mian returned home lonely, she lay in the cabin for a long time, and Ming Chuangchen waited on him anxiously, wondering why the master, who was obviously happy when he went out, seemed to be a different person after he came back.He didn't dare to go forward to remind Master that he should change his wet clothes, so he kept burning the charcoal stove until his face was flushed with heat. At this time, Zi Mian slowly opened her eyes, stared at the ceiling and said dumbly, "Chuang Chen, I'm going to visit Dali Temple Secretary Lu Daren tomorrow, remember to help me."

"Yes, Master." Ming Chuangchen was taken aback, and then happily agreed--Master is going to find Lord Lu, the Minister of Dali Temple, it seems that they don't have to continue to show favor to the hateful Prime Minister in the future, it is really gratifying!
Mr. Lv, Minister of Dali Temple—the leader of the New Deal faction and the arch-rival of Prime Minister Cao; the court is determined to promote revolution and strive to rule; When Zi Mian walked out of Mr. Lu's mansion, as soon as he boarded the carriage driven by Ming Chuangchen, he immediately fell down dejectedly.When he fell into the carriage, he bumped into the wall of the carriage, the noise was too loud, so frightened that Ming Chenchen in front of the carriage hurriedly asked, "Master?" "It's nothing," Zi Mian replied sullenly in the car, "Go home." As the carriage moved forward, the sound of the wheels rolling on the ground seemed to be crushing Zi Mian's stomach, causing him to have cramps in his abdomen. ——What a shame!Zi Mian curled up in the carriage, raised her sleeves tremblingly to cover her face, buried her head in her arms, recalling the scene just now, feeling ashamed to death - he used to show his favor to the prime minister, but he could still find There are some reasons to seek psychological comfort; but in front of the upright Master Lu, he suffered a crushing defeat, but it was entirely his own fault. He had a sleepless night last night, thinking about how to convince Mr. Lu, and calculated step by step, thinking that he could succeed—the capital has not rained for half a year, and this is the time when the public opinion is in turmoil. As a Golden Gate feather guest, he is fully capable To influence public opinion, if Mr. Lu can support him, he can not only defuse unfavorable remarks for the New Deal, but also pray for rain through sacrifices, so that the situation for the reform of the new law will be fully opened. He first told Mr. Lu about Chen's interests, but Mr. Lu remained silent, making him think that he had seen hope. How could he have expected that when he vaguely pointed out the purpose of his plan, Mr. Lu's cold eyes sneered and his harsh words completely destroyed him. Self-esteem—or, he has no self-esteem at all... Warlocks, courtiers, side skills, heretics... Mr. Lu scoffed that he only had these in his hands, yet he dared to covet the virtuous prince.He immediately asked Zi Mian to leave the mansion, and bluntly said that he was dedicated to serving the country, and would never betray his loyalty because of personal danger, even if he was attacked by the conservative faction. The prince who covets virtue...Zi Mian sneered, feeling both annoyed and ashamed, feeling drowsy from exhaustion.Insufficient energy and blood for the past two days, exercises, insomnia, and a series of blows made him have a headache and brain fever, but his body felt chills intermittently. "Master, Master..." Ming Chuangchen's voice came into the car, but Zi Mian was in a trance and couldn't hear it clearly. She thought it was because the car curtain was too thick, so she raised her voice and asked, "What's wrong?" "The prince's car is coming from the other side of the imperial road, we need to let the prince pass first..." Ming Chuangchen said while looking around, trying to find a fork in the road to make way for the prince. ... Let the prince...Zi Mian, who had a splitting headache, heard these words, her clenched fist trembled, and she instinctively reprimanded: "Why do you want to let me go!" "Ah?" Ming Chuangchen was frightened by Zi Mian's harsh tone, and could only freeze in place dumbfounded. The mighty sound of carriages and horses rang in Zi Mian's ears, causing him to turn over in pain.Let the prince... why do you have to let him... let... He suddenly came back to his senses, and sat up straight in shock: "Let what?" "Huh? Get out of the way..." Ming Chuangchen was taken aback by his master, and was already at a loss for what to do. "Get out of the way for the prince, let's find a fork in the road..." "It's late, Master," Ming Chuangchen didn't wait for Zi Mian to finish speaking, but he had no choice but to grab the words, "The prince's car has just passed..." Zi Mian suddenly became weak all over, and he collapsed. After returning home, he fell seriously ill...
