In the dream, I was still a child, running in the mountains and fields. My father and mother-in-law, who were also young, were chasing me behind me, shouting "slow down", "slow down"!
Endless fields, flying butterflies, and the air seems to be filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.
No worries.
It's a pity that the dream changed and the sky was filled with blood and fire.
Iron cavalry come from all directions, killing, endless killing!
These cavalrymen wearing iron armor and holding long swords were attacking vertically and horizontally.
Dad, grandma, where are you?
Why am I the only one left in this blood and fire?
Looking around, the sounds of fighting and crying could be heard all the time.
Until the light of the sword flashed, another army rushed out. A young general reined in his horse, jumped down, half-knelt in front of her, rubbed her head, and asked her name with a smile.
Is this...saved?
Is there really a hero who descends from the sky and leads her out of this trance-like hell?
This person looks like...
"Your Majesty...husband..." Yang Lihua murmured.
The young general looked at her strangely and smiled gently.
"Ah!" Yang Lihua suddenly sat up, her forehead covered with cold sweat.
An arm had already wrapped around her thin shoulders.
Li Xingchen whispered: "What are you dreaming about? Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Shen Wuhua also took a handkerchief and gently wiped her sweat.
Yang Lihua, who was in a daze, came to her senses, hugged Li Xingchen and couldn't help crying.
Li Xingchen didn't know what happened, so he patted her back gently: "Okay, okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."
While Shen Wuhua ordered the maids outside to prepare breakfast, she quietly got up and dressed, and winked at His Majesty, naturally meaning to let His Majesty and Yang Lihua be alone for a while.
Yang Lihua slowly raised her head. Although there were still tears in her eyes, looking at Li Xingchen's face, she always felt an inexplicable peace of mind.
The young general in the dream had a similar outline and figure to him, and almost the same face, except that he was younger.
That's what I imagined His Majesty to be like when he was eighteen or nineteen years old.
Sure enough, he is his own savior.
The person who saved himself from the blood, fire and killing in the dream was also the person who saved himself from the intrigues and dangers of the Northern Zhou palace, and from the moody emperor.
Yang Lihua hugged Li Xinchen and was reluctant to let go.
Li Xingchen just let her hold him without saying a word.
It is not normal for a little girl to have nightmares. The most important thing at this time is to hold her tightly, give her the most solid support, and tell her with actions that I am here and that you are not alone in facing all your fears.
After all, Yang Lihua is still much more mature mentally. The temporary nightmare broke her defenses, but she was not so fragile that she suffered a mental breakdown. On the contrary, after feeling the warmth of His Majesty's chest, she quickly came to her senses and calmed down: "
My concubine was temporarily attacked by nightmares, which frightened Your Majesty."
"That's not true." Li Xingchen smiled and said, "You were trembling in your sleep, and I naturally felt it, so I waited aside. If something goes wrong again, I will wake you up."
Yang Lihua nodded gratefully, but she was a little confused and hesitated to speak.
Since you see that your state is not right, why not just wake yourself up?
I never want to see those scenes of blood and fire again in my life.
Li Xingchen seemed to understand her doubts and gently stroked her back: "Nightmares are caused by heart disease. If it wakes you up by seeing you panicking in your dream, how can you know where your heart disease is? How can you prescribe the right medicine?"
Yang Lihua nodded, this is...
What is your heart disease?
It seems that there is no heartache anymore, because at the end of the dream, I finally see the light.
This, perhaps, can no longer be considered a complete nightmare.
Yang Lihua leaned comfortably in Li Xinchen's arms. Although she did not answer Li Xinchen's question, it was obvious that her actions were enough to show that her heart knot had been loosened a lot.
Li Xingchen curled his lips:
"I'm calling you daddy in my dream. Get up quickly and go see your daddy."
Yang Lihua was a little surprised, and her pretty face turned slightly red.
Fortunately, he didn't call out anything else.
"I thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Li Xingchen stared at her leisurely.
"What, what?" Yang Lihua was a little surprised. There was nothing on her face, right?
"In the dream, I called you husband, but now I call you your majesty." Li Xingchen clicked his tongue.
Yang Lihua's face was burning hot and she pulled off the quilt.
Did you hear this too?!
——————————-
The carriage swayed as it drove on the way to Jinling Academy.
Li Xingchen is going to inspect Jinling Academy today. Yang Jian, Xiao Kui and others are now living in seclusion in the back hill of Jinling Academy, so Yang Lihua wants to visit her father, so naturally she goes with Li Xingchen.
As for Shen Wuhua, yesterday it was Xu Su who went home first to visit her relatives. Today it was naturally her turn, so she came along too.
Shen Wuhua looked at Yang Lihua opposite, who looked strangely.
In the morning, I just went to order breakfast and other things, and I didn't leave for long. Why did the atmosphere between the two people become weird?
"Did you sleep well yesterday?" Li Xingchen came over and asked.
The tranquility in the carriage was suddenly broken.
Yang Lihua bit her lower lip lightly and turned away. Shen Wuhua glanced at him and said with a smile: "Isn't it just right for you to have the queens of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in your arms at the same time? You have been thinking about this for a long time, right?"
Li Xingchen suddenly smiled awkwardly, Sister Shen understands me!
Shen Wuhua gently hugged his arm: "Back then, I was in the position of being the most respected mother in the world, how can I compare to today? As long as Your Majesty is happy, I should naturally be satisfied."
Yang Lihua next to her first looked at Sister Shen with surprised eyes. This was definitely not because she had always been deserted. In fact, it was mainly because of what Sister Shen, who was too thin-skinned, could say.
After a second thought, she came back to her senses.
Her experience was actually very similar to Shen Wuhua's. An unhappy political marriage and an emperor who was either absurd or cruel meant that she was destined to never be happy. Her whole life seemed to be living in darkness.
But now life is naturally brighter.
All of this is given by His Majesty, so as long as His Majesty is happy, isn't his past identity just a prop?
The empress of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the empress of the Southern Chen Dynasty are together, so what’s the problem?
The ones who were really slapped in the face should be their two ridiculous "ex-husbands"!
Li Xingchen felt that the other arm also sank slightly.
Yang Lihua also hugged her.
This feels... quite good.
But obviously, my father-in-law didn’t think so.
When he saw Li Xinchen and Yang Lihua walking up the mountain arm in arm, Yang Jian's face was obviously a little gloomy.
Two cabbage cabbages were eaten by a pig. How can you feel better when you are a father?
The middle-aged woman standing next to Yang Jian said calmly: "Lihua is very happy. Isn't this a good thing?"
