Chapter 786: Green Plum Drunk (24)
Because of that strange reason for parting, Cheng Hui felt reluctant, but also felt that Jiang Que's words made sense.
Jiang Que wanted to rectify the court and take full control of the country, while he also had his own world to explore.
They all hoped that when they met again, they would be better versions of themselves.
Jiang Que's poison had lingered for too long.
Cheng Hui was afraid that no one would take care of his health after he was gone, so he wanted to use his internal energy to prepare medicine to detoxify him.
As a result, he was kicked away by Jiang Que.
Let him leave the medicine behind, and he can force the poison out himself.
Cheng Hui, who had been kicked away, knelt on the ground, his chest aching terribly, and his mouth smelling of blood.
Clutching her chest where Jiang Que had kicked her, Cheng Hui wasn't angry at the force of the kick. Instead, she looked up, her eyes brimming with boundless joy, gazing up at Jiang Que standing high above.
Kneeling on the ground, Cheng Hui wiped away the blood that had seeped from the corner of his mouth, grinned, and suddenly pounced on Jiang Que, grabbing his head and biting down on Jiang Que's neck.
It was a rather vicious bite, and Jiang Que only frowned when he felt the pain.
After taking a bite, Cheng Hui kissed Jiang Que on the cheek: "Zhao'er, wait for me to come back."
Zhao'er looked frail, but she was surprisingly no less capable than him.
We grew up together, when did you secretly start practicing?
So handsome, so mysterious, and so reassuring.
so love.
...
Cheng returned.
What he took with him was still his three essentials for roaming the martial world: a sword, a bamboo hat, and a horse.
Standing on the city wall, watching Cheng Hui's departing figure, and facing the morning sun, the head maid brought the prepared pills of medicine left behind by Cheng Hui to Jiang Que's side: "Your Highness."
Cheng Hui's figure has already disappeared.
Jiang Que nodded slightly, took the pill, and put it in his mouth.
Just like Cheng Hui said when he was young.
The medicine I gave him wasn't bitter at all.
...
The poison has been neutralized.
After nearly three years, the pent-up toxicity was released, and Jiang Que, who was originally short and stout and barely reached Cheng Hui's shoulder, suddenly grew very tall.
As an adult, Jiang Que's facial features were more defined and refined. He had a tall and slender figure with incredible proportions. Dressed in the robes of a crown prince, he sat in the court with an exceptionally imposing and dignified air. With a cold expression, he casually tossed out a pile of memorials.
A group of people, drenched in sweat, hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged His Highness to calm his anger.
After a few more were cut off, the matter was finally settled.
The minister, relieved that he hadn't been cut and had lived another day, breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor left the capital to attend court.
The little maid, who was actually Liu Zhao, was playing outside, while the head maid followed behind Jiang Que. The little maid, who had grown up into a graceful young woman, happily ran over when she saw people: "Your Highness, Sister Wan'er."
The last "Sister Wan'er" was called out with particular tenderness.
The head maid gently patted her head as always, and the younger maid enjoyed the patting, her face flushed with shyness as she faced the head maid.
Jiang Que, who was left standing there, couldn't stand it, so he turned around and left with a long face.
Seeing Jiang Que leave, the head maid immediately came to her senses, took the hand of the younger maid, and quickly followed.
The little maid, whose hand was being held, skipped and jumped happily onto the back of the head maid. The head maid glanced at Jiang Que walking ahead, and seeing that he did not object, smiled faintly and carried the little maid on her back.
Jiang Que returned to his palace, changed his clothes, and hastily packed some things, preparing to go on a long trip.
As a result, the two, mistakenly believing he was resting, leaned against the door and hid in a secluded corner, embracing and kissing each other passionately.
All that's missing is for Jiang Que to bring them a bed.
"Your Highness."
As Jiang Que left, the two who had been passionately kissing hurriedly separated, heads bowed, and a rare blush appeared on the usually stern face of the head maid.
she……
They were also entangled and had no choice but to comply.
As a result, His Highness saw them.
When the head maid saw that Jiang Que had changed his clothes and was carrying a bundle, she immediately understood: "Is Your Highness going on a long journey?"
Jiang Que's face soured: "Hmm, no need to follow."
His Highness the Crown Prince almost always seeks out Young Hero Cheng whenever he leaves the palace.
It's been almost three years since we last met.
They communicated only through letters.
It was supposed to be an exchange, but it was mostly Cheng Shaoxia who wrote, and His Highness the Crown Prince would read it but not reply.
The journey was slow, and it's likely that by the time his reply arrived, the wandering swordsman had already gone elsewhere.
...
Jiang Que left.
Far away.
A meticulously crafted four-year-old child timidly hid in the corner, peeking out to watch his elder brother leave, his eyes filled with longing for family affection.
Didn't watch it for long.
The child was taken away by the nanny who cared for him. The child stared intently in the direction Jiang Que left with his bright, watery eyes until he could no longer see him, then lowered his head in disappointment and followed the nanny back.
The head maid saw the child while standing at the palace gate.
It was the second prince born back then.
Because the child was the late empress's child, and she had poisoned the emperor and was subsequently executed by the crown prince, the concubines in the harem avoided the child like the plague, and no one dared to raise him.
In the end, she could only be handed over to the nanny. In the harem, she had no ceremonial regalia and suffered endless scorn at a young age.
His Highness has never said what to do with this child; he has simply left him in the palace without any regard for him.
Children are young and naturally yearn for their loved ones.
But Your Highness…
He himself had no relatives.
The head maid lowered her eyes and ignored the matter.
Jiang Que has left; he's gone on a long trip.
The young maid, who hadn't had enough of being kissed, tugged and pleaded, until the head maid carried her back to her room.
