160. Chapter 160(1/2)
Wei Shao stayed in Dongjun for several days.
Until Lei Yan came over and said that the military advisor could not wait for the Junhou to return as scheduled in Luoyang. He had also known that Junhou personally sent his daughter back to Dongjun, so he sent someone to inquire about his return date.
It was dark and Xiao Qiao went back to the room and saw Wei Shao lying on the bed on his back. Philip was quietly lying on his father's chest, his little head was tightly pressed against his father's chin, and his little hands and feet were hanging on his father's chest and abdomen.
Wei Shao also closed his eyes and gently placed his palm on Felipe's back, as if he had fallen asleep.
During the day, the family of three went out for fun in casual clothes. Philip laughed and made a fuss. One day, he was tired, so he took a shower for Philip and left his father and daughter in the room. She went out with Mrs. Ding and Chunniang to prepare the dry food, clothing and other items that Wei Shao and his party would bring tomorrow. Before they could clean up, they went back to the room and saw that the father and daughter had just fallen asleep.
Xiao Qiao approached gently, and then she saw Philip slightly open his mouth in his sleep, and a trace of saliva hung on the corner of his mouth. The saliva had dripped on Wei Shao's clothes, wet his clothes, and made a wet mark.
Xiao Qiao wanted to take Philip away, but Wei Shao suddenly opened his eyes, straightened his neck and looked up slightly, looked at Philip, who was sleeping on his chest, and made a move to silence her.
Xiao Qiao was stunned. Only then did he realize that he was not asleep, but was probably afraid of waking up his daughter, so he kept lying like this. He shook his head, bent down and picked up Philip gently, and sent it to Chunniang who followed him.
Chunniang carried Philip out to rest. She turned her head and saw Wei Shao lying there. She looked at her, so she walked over and sat next to him, took a handkerchief, wiped the traces of saliva on his clothes, and whispered: "The things and dry food that will be on the road tomorrow will be prepared for you. I will go on the road early in the morning, so I will take a break soon."
Wei Shao whispered and held her hand.
It's late at night.
It was raining outside at some point, and it started to rain at night.
It is late autumn, but the climate is a bit abnormal this year. At this moment, there is still a faint sound of thunder coming from the sky.
The candlelight in the room was on, and the one holding me was my husband's solid arms.
Xiao Qiao drilled into her husband's arms in a faint thunder, found a comfortable position, and closed her eyes while sleeping with her face against his hot chest, suddenly heard him say in his ear: "Manman, there is something I have always wanted to know. But you never told me everything in the past. I will leave tomorrow, and I want you to tell me."
"Um?"
Xiao Qiao was already a little sleepy, closed her eyes and responded vaguely.
"I have heard you mention your nightmare in front of me twice. I want to know, what is your nightmare?"
Xiao Qiao opened her eyes.
Wei Shao seemed to have not fallen asleep, and was looking at her with dark eyes.
"The first time I learned about your nightmare was when I sent troops to Yanzhou. When you came, you told me that you were guarding against me because of a nightmare. You said that in your nightmare, I destroyed your Qiao family because of hatred. The second time, I saw you with my own eyes being trapped by nightmare, so that I could not wake up. After I woke you up, you said that a man in a dragon robe held a sword and killed you."
He paused for a moment, as if recalling the scene at that time.
"Manman, this should not be everything in your nightmare. I want to know everything. Tell me, don't hide anything more, okay?"
"Who is the man in a dragon robe who wants to kill you?"
"Is it me?"
He asked three times in a row.
Xiao Qiao stared at him, and at first he didn't say a word, but finally, slowly shook his head.
"It's not you."
"So who is it?"
Xiao Qiao bit her lip and fell into silence.
"What's going on? I want you to tell me!"
Xiao Qiao closed her eyes.
His lips suddenly became heavier, and he touched them up, kissed her for a moment, and after letting go, his lips moved to her ears.
"Manman, I always have a feeling that you are trapped in that nightmare that you can't extricate yourself. Otherwise, you would never have been so cautious about me before. Tell me not to hide anything, and you don't need any worries."
"I want you to say it all! Who is that person?"
Xiao Qiao's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, meeting his two gazes.
After hesitating for a while, he finally plucked up the courage and said softly: "It's Liu Yan."
Wei Shao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a shadow flew past, hugged her arms and closed them, pressing her tighter with him.
"Tell me everything."
Xiao Qiao took a long breath: "Husband, do you really want to listen? Don't you regret it?"
"Say!" is just one word.
Xiao Qiao stared at him and finally spoke slowly: "A long time ago, for some reason, I had a dream repeatedly. The dream was clear and coherent. Every time I woke up, I had a feeling that everything was not illusory, but that I repeated my previous life experiences over and over again in my dream... As you said, I was deeply troubled and could not extricate myself..."
"In the previous life I dreamed of, the Wei Qiao family also got married, but it was not me who married you, but my sister. After marrying you, she never won your favor. You disliked her and ignored her for the rest of your life. Only my grandmother treated her caringly. Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away when she married into the Wei family..."
Wei Shao was surprised and brows moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he held it back.
"From then on, my sister was helpless and lived alone. In my dream, you took Su Nu and became the emperor. In those years, my Qiao family had died at your hands, and in the end, only Ah Brother was left. Shortly after you became emperor, my sister died of illness, loneliness, and then you made Su Nu the queen..."
When Xiao Qiao was telling, his tone was calm.
But Wei Shao's expression became extremely ugly. He looked at her steadily, his eyes full of deep disbelief and extremely disgust.
"Tell me about yourself. What about you, you married Liu Yan?"
After a while, he seemed to finally suppress his emotions with difficulty and asked, his voice tense, as if he was about to break with one tug.
"yes."
Xiao Qiao nodded.
"I married Liu Yan as a marriage contract. Later, the Han Dynasty was destroyed, and he was like in this world. He was embraced by a group of ministers as the queen of the small court. I also followed him as the queen. But not long after, he was chased by you and besieged the city. My brother escaped to protect me. At the last moment when you were about to break through the city, Liu Yan killed his harem in despair. I swear to live and die with him, and he killed me and stabbed my heart with a sword..."
Xiao Qiao closed her eyes and opened again.
"This is the last scene of the dream I had in my previous life. It is also this scene that has appeared repeatedly in my dreams since then, making it impossible for me to get rid of it."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Wei Shao.
Wei Shao's hand unconsciously squeezed her arm tightly, and the tighter it became, and she felt pain.
The blue veins crawling on both sides of his forehead also burst out slightly like a worm, and his sinister eyes stared at her for a long time.
"So you can't sleep or eat, so from now on I see me as a poisonous snake?"
He seemed to finally realize that he had hurt her, and he let go of her hastily, but he asked slowly.
Xiao Qiao sighed softly.
"I had never seen you before. Even in my dream, I had never met you face to face..."
She raised her hand, and her warm fingertips wandered gently along his stiff face, as if soothing his emotions.
Wei Shao's expression finally relaxed.
"It's just that this dream is too real. I can't help but be affected by it, but no one can say that I can only bury it in my heart and expect it to be just a dream. It was not until that year that when Zhou Qun of Rencheng came to attack Yanzhou. When my uncle made the decision to marry my sister and try to be better than you in this way, I truly realized that my dream might be real."
"Because something similar to the situation in my dream, it was about to happen."
"I'm afraid. I know I must stop things from continuing according to the situation in my dreams. Therefore, I went through a lot of trouble and finally encouraged my sister and Bi Tong to leave home. At that time, I thought that without my sister, I could not get married, and my uncle would be able to take my father's plan to join forces to fight against Zhou Qun, but unexpectedly, my uncle was hopelessly cowardly and wanted to destroy my engagement with Liu Yan and let me marry you on behalf of my sister. At that time, I was in trouble, and by chance, I entered your Wei family and became a couple with you, my husband."
"Husband, you should still remember that in the first year I married you, after the Luli Conference, my grandmother fell ill, and you were about to go to Bingzhou to fight. Before you left, I tried to keep you. In fact, I was afraid that my grandmother would have an accident like what I knew in my dreams. Fortunately, my grandmother turned bad luck into good luck. It was also this incident that made me see the hope of turning the dream prophecy. However, the shadow brought to me by the dream prophecy was too deep, and I still dared not relax. This led to the incident that caused me to persuade my father to strengthen the army, which caused you to be extremely angry..."
Xiao Qiao's voice quietly continued.
"You know everything about it later, my husband..."
Wei Shao's two gazes always fell on her face.
The light in the tent suddenly dimmed. The candle burned out, and the candlelight finally fluttered a few times, and the room fell into darkness.
"Husband..."
After a while of silence, she called him.
"You told me that night that you were lucky to marry me. But you didn't know that it would be a blessing for me to marry you in this life?"
In the darkness, Wei Shao was silent. Suddenly he hugged her tightly, with great strength as if he was about to crush her and embedded her into his body. Xiao Qiao felt his heart beating violently.
She closed her eyes and did not move.
...
It was late at night, I don’t know what update it was.
Boom-
Another thunder sounded from the sky in the distance.
Xiao Qiao subconsciously shrank to her side, but her tentacles were empty. The night wind with tide seemed to surge in from the window, swaying the curtain.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a figure standing in front of the window facing the night wind and rain, with her back solemn.
Xiao Qiao sat up slowly, lifted the curtain that was surging by the night wind, and walked behind Wei Shao.
A gust of rain was swept into the window by the wind. The drizzle soaked the windowsill and sprinkled in front of Wei Shao.
His clothes were half wet, pressing against his body tightly, and the skin at the tentacles was cold, as if soaked in water.
I don’t know how long it has been here like this.
Xiao Qiao hugged him from behind and pressed her cheek against his broad back.
"Manman, in the previous life in your dream, my grandmother was gone now? Or was she killed by Su Nu? But I was not only blinded by her, but also made her the queen?"
