Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Break a Cocoon into Butterflies
A few days later, Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang left with Li Ji’s army for Chang’an.

There was a difference between men and women in the strict military law. Before the verdict was decided, Princess Gao Yang was still charged with the crime of “being committed by the Imperial Court.” Therefore, Li Xu could only do business and “invite” her to the Central Army. He had a few maids and maids to serve her and sent some soldiers to guard her.

As soon as she left Dengzhou, Princess Gaoyang suffered from a serious illness. She was unconscious and weak all day long, and her complexion was yellow and her spirit was depressed. When she woke up, the tea didn’t smell good. She slept and shouted loudly in her sleep.

Military doctors, famous doctors, and alchemists had all come to see, but the effects weren’t very good. Finally, they said that Her Highness Princess Gaoyang was worried. Medicinal stones were useless, so she had to use heart medicine to treat it.

With regards to human life, if anything happens to the princess, Li Lu can’t afford it. At this moment, he had only broken the rules and invited Qin Mubai, the “Heart Medicine”, to accompany him to take care of Princess Gao Yang.

Qin Mubai’s heart ached when she saw that the lively and cute little beauty of the past had turned into a wilted day lily. As a result, he could no longer avoid any taboo and idle words, and he took care of Princess Gao Yang’s car day and night in confusion. He didn’t need a maidservant to handle all the tea, so he had to personally feed it. Tongxiao Dadan stood guard beside her, speaking with her to relieve her boredom.

A few days later, Princess Gaoyang recovered. Although his mood was still depressed and unhappy, his condition had obviously improved.

Qin Mubai knew that Gao Yang’s heart was pained this time, and his heart was hurt. When she heard that Li You and Yin Hongzhi had kidnapped Qin Mubai in an attempt to rebel, she was already in extreme pain. However, she had been trying her best to suppress it and tried her best to salvage it. Afterwards, the siblings traveled thousands of miles to Chang’an, but they were kidnapped in front of the Black Tortoise Gate of the Great Ming Palace and returned to Dengzhou. Afterwards, she was placed under house arrest, on hunger strike for several days, and witnessed the tragic deaths of Li You and Yin Hongzhi at the gate of Xiang City …

If it was a sturdy man with a heart of stone, he probably wouldn’t be able to endure so much tiredness and torture, let alone the weak and slender Princess Gaoyang.

“Ling’er, after returning to the capital, no matter what, even if something big happens, I will accompany you until you return to your previous state.” Qin Mubai said to Princess Gaoyang.

Princess Gao Yang snuggled up in his embrace and closed her eyes with a faint smile, “I’m sorry, Mubai, I’ve finally made you worry and hurt your heart.”

“Silly.” Qin Mubai stroked her cheek and said softly, “Actually, I know that you’ve been pretending to be strong for many days, trying to lighten my burden and pressure, trying to help me take on more things.” But I’d rather bear it myself than see you like this, you know? Men, they were destined to endure something, so they couldn’t avoid it. “Otherwise, why do you have such a wide shoulder?”

Princess Gaoyang wrapped her hands around Qin Mubai’s waist and held her head in his arms. “I’m useless. Really. Compared to Mama Mei, I’m really useless.” She whispered.

Qin Mubai smiled helplessly, “Why did you suddenly mention this?”

“Originally.” Princess Gaoyang said, “Do you still remember that I had an agreement with Mama Mei?”

“Mm, what’s wrong?”

“Actually, our agreement is very simple. That is, if we both marry you in the end, I will be the mistress outside and she will be the wife inside.” Princess Gaoyang smiled embarrassedly and said, “Also, no matter what, we don’t want you to suffer any more troubles and troubles because of our affairs. Do our best to help you share some of the pressure.”

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Since you are a family, you should share the blessings and misfortune. Actually, three people share the happiness and three people share the troubles. Only one third of the troubles are left. Do you understand?”

“After experiencing this, I understand.” Princess Gaoyang nodded seriously and said, “After arriving in Dengzhou, I once felt really desperate and helpless. I just wanted to see you by my side.” At that time, I thought, if only Mubai were here now. He must have a way. Really, I never needed you as much as I did back then. I felt my own incompetence. The strength and ability I pretended to be were all shattered. Mubai, am I really useless? ”

“No. You’re very strong and brave.” Qin Mubai said, “Everyone has a feeling of weakness and powerlessness. I have had this feeling before.” Whenever this happens, I feel like I’m useless. It was just like when he saw King Qi take poison at the gates of Xiang City. At that time, I also felt that I was very incompetent. It was as if nothing was within my control. All I can do is watch helplessly as many things develop in the direction I least want to see. ”

“Very helpless, isn’t it?”

“Yes.” Qin Mubai nodded, “There are always so many helplessness in life.”

Princess Gaoyang’s body trembled slightly as she hugged Qin Mubai even tighter.

“Mubai, I suddenly have a fear.”

“What are you afraid of?”

“If I had given up, given up, and surrendered … would I not be able to lie in your arms today?” Princess Gaoyang closed her eyes and muttered, “I admire my foolish innocence and stubbornness at that time. If it were me today, I would have chosen to report my abandonment at that time. Perhaps I would have really agreed to my father marry into Tibet … How terrifying!”

Qin Mubai knitted his brows and thought to himself, “It seems that this incident has left a wound on Princess Gao Yang’s heart.” She had become somewhat lacking in self-confidence and a sense of security.

Actually, not only Princess Gao Yang, but also everyone else was like this.

After rolling about in this mortal world for a long time, seeing and wounding many times, he gradually became cold, timid, tactful, and sophisticated. Losing the spirit and courage of a newborn calf was replaced by worrying about the gains and losses and thinking about the past. Or it could be called mature and steady.

Especially at Princess Gaoyang’s age, growing up was like a metamorphosis for her. She shed an old layer of skin and put on a new one.

Every metamorphosis was like a new life.

Moreover, every metamorphosis was so bloody.

At the beginning of a person’s life, whether the nature is good or evil, it is in this kind of metamorphosis that he grows up and separates his personality from his life.

However, Princess Gaoyang’s transformation was too intense. Such a series of drastic changes and tragedies happened to her.

Perhaps, this would allow her soul to possess strength and resilience that ordinary people could not compare to, maturity and rationality that people of the same age could not compare to, thus allowing her to break through the cocoon and turn into a butterfly. Perhaps, it would completely destroy her and lead her to the extreme of self-resignation or something else.

In other words, the current Princess Gaoyang was actually very “dangerous”. Either break the cocoon into butterflies, or go to extremes.

Along the way, Qin Mubai used all the solutions he had, his lips fluttering and his tongue fluttering as he continuously infused her with all sorts of ideas to clear up her emotions and release her mind. When he was idle in his previous life, Qin Mubai had read quite a few inspirational books like Carnegie. Although there was no need to copy it for Princess Gaoyang to listen to, there was still a conceptual basis. It could flexibly make up all kinds of small stories to comfort and explain Princess Gaoyang.

Just like that, Qin Mubai became a “teacher” on a journey of a thousand miles and half a month. Princess Gaoyang became the only student. She listened to him tell all kinds of stories and subtly accepted Qin Mubai’s “brainwashing”.

“Legend has it that there is a person who always wants to know the difference between the legendary heaven and hell. Why do people always call hell so terrifying and painful, while heaven is a pure land of bliss? Later, God invited his soul out and took him to hell to visit.”

“This person went to hell, found that there is no legendary Niutouma and Blade Mountain Flame Sea under the oil pot. Instead, each soul sat at a large table filled with all sorts of delicious food. However, none of them had hands. Their hands have all turned into slender, long chopsticks. They can pick up food with the chopsticks, but they can’t put it in their mouths. Therefore, every soul was very hungry, and their faces were pale and skinny. Hence, the howls of hunger and the groans of pain in hell were filled with helplessness and sighs.

“Then he went to heaven. He found that the situation here was very similar to hell. Everyone’s hands turned into extremely slender chopsticks, and the center of the huge table was filled with food. But they were all singing and dancing happily. It was full of joy and joy. Later, he discovered that the people here had used chopsticks to feed each other. This way, everyone will be full. ”

“I understand, Mubai!” Princess Gaoyang’s bright eyes shone with a bright light. She smiled and said, “In the future, if I have something to hide from you, I will definitely not hide it from you. I will definitely tell you where I need help as early as possible.” Likewise, if you have any troubles, you must tell me. If there’s anything I can do to help, don’t hide it. We are not allowed to be stingy, selfish or pretend to be strong, okay? ”

“Of course.” Qin Mubai smiled happily, “Because we are family.”

“Mubai …”

“What?”

Princess Gaoyang looked into Qin Mubai’s eyes and calmly said, “Marry me!”

“Alright!” Qin Mubai smiled and said firmly.

Princess Gaoyang nodded and smiled, but her eyes were hazy.

“From then on, we will be relatives! I will not leave you, and you are not allowed to leave me!”

“Yes, family.” Qin Mubai gently embraced her and thought to himself, “At this moment, I’m afraid no one can understand the meaning of the word’loved one ‘better than Princess Gaoyang. No one cherishes their loved ones more than she does.”

With a wife like this, what could a husband ask for?

Chang’an has arrived.

Li Xi led the army to garrison and rectify the army first. He made an appointment with Qin Mubai to go to the Face Saint realm with him tomorrow. However, Princess Gao Yang insisted that she and Qin Mubai should help Li Youling pivot and go into the palace to pay their respects to the Emperor first.

Since the princess insisted on this, Li Ji naturally couldn’t hold on.

The two of them brought Li You’s spirit pivot, accompanied by several guards, and left the military camp fifteen miles outside Chang’an City to look at Chang’an.

Qin Mubai could clearly feel that every step closer to Chang’an, Princess Gao Yang’s expression became more solemn, and at the same time, she became more resolute.

At this moment, the little devil that specialized in messing around seemed to have disappeared. Her childish face still showed maturity and boldness that exceeded her age.

“Mubai, I’ve thought it through.” Princess Gaoyang looked at the familiar capital city and imperial palaces and calmly said, “Escape and crying are always useless.” I’ve already figured out what I might encounter when I return to the palace later. No matter what, I will face it calmly. My brother and uncle have already left. I want to reassure their souls in heaven. In the future, I will live a good life. Treat your relatives well, and treat yourself well. I will cherish every day I live, cherish everything I have. ”

Qin Mubai gently nodded without saying anything.

He understood that Ling’er had really grown up.

Breaking through the cocoon to become a butterfly … Although it was very painful, after becoming a butterfly, she became even more beautiful and touching!
