Chapter 488 Deep Sleep, Crying Out of Grievance
Since leaving the Elong Mountain area, the places we are in are all evil mountains, evil waters, and evil people. Every step is dangerous and everywhere is dangerous. It is absolutely not an exaggeration.
The mountains are continuous, and there are no traces of human towns within a radius of hundreds of miles. There are many bandits, all kinds of them. It is a natural formation, and some people deliberately promote it.
Wang Ruyi was relaxed and fainted in an instant. Li Changxiao pointed his index finger at his forehead to check the situation and found that it was not a bad thing. The humiliation and suffering along the way were all piercing his heart.
This fainting is also a self-healing act, so there is no need to interrupt it. Li Changxiao sighed in his heart. This dignified empress has fallen into this state. How can it not make people sigh.
Li Changxiao is not omniscient, let alone omnipotent. When he saw her for the first time, he actually didn't know the situation of this woman, but he roughly saw that this criminal was a woman. After drinking with her, and after various observations, big and small details, he vaguely guessed her true identity.
The Eight Immortals broke the heart, and there was an undercurrent, just to break the heart of the emperor, and they almost succeeded. If Li Changxiao hadn't talked at night and pulled Wang Ruyi up, I'm afraid her state of mind would be broken, and it was her body but not her heart.
As for the matter of drowning the emperor in the river, Li Changxiao really didn't do anything. Because it was about the state of mind, no matter how powerful Li Changxiao was, he couldn't intervene, and everything depended on himself.
Fortunately, Wang Ruyi didn't let Li Changxiao down, even if she was afraid, she never boarded the boat. At these two key nodes, Wang Ruyi was in crisis, but she got through it safely.
This journey was not completely harmless to her. Although the emperor's heart was not broken, it was full of cracks. Although the true self was not scattered, it was also covered with dust.
How much can be recovered depends on the future encounter.
If you stand in Li Changxiao's perspective
He spent more than half a month waiting for Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to leave the Elong Mountain area and save Wang Ruyi. Isn't it a gamble?
Wang Ruyi, who should have been sitting high in the palace, ended up in a miserable situation of being stripped of his reputation and exiled. On the contrary, Xiao Zhen sat on the throne and the third wish was realized.
Thinking about the worst, the merman tomb has fallen into the hands of Ji Beiming. And the possibility is not low. Normally, Li Changxiao should rush to Dayu City to further plan the tomb.
However, Li Changxiao did the opposite.
If you ask the reason... there are many.
There are eight immortals who broke the emperor's heart and took great pains, or there may be other deep meanings, so Wang Ruyi is very important and cannot be ignored.
But there is only one fundamental reason.
It's just following your heart.
He wanted to save, so he saved, even if there were thousands of reasons and thousands of purposes, it couldn't beat this point.
Li Changxiao carried Wang Ruyi on his back and walked along the mountain path. It was the time when the moonlight was bright. Although it was summer, the night was cool, especially in the forest. The night wind blew, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees and the fragrance of soil, adding a sense of leisure.
Walking slowly in the forest, you feel at ease and enjoy yourself.
Wang Ruyi slept soundly and snored slightly. Her head was leaning on the side. Because her face was covered with mud, her expression could not be seen clearly, but she could feel that she was very peaceful and comfortable.
It was the most comforting sleep since she was deprived of her reputation. Li Changxiao envied her. Even he often couldn't get a deep sleep, but under such circumstances, he let it go and was entered by this woman.
Can you also say that good people will be rewarded? Although Li Changxiao did not claim to be a good person, he considered it before and after and considered it carefully. Saving Wang Ruyi was really a good thing.
【 】
She fell into a deep sleep, and Li Changxiao practiced the Dream Dao and inherited part of the Dream Dao God. He has been studying dreams for a long time.
Deep sleep is like enlightenment, or even rarer than enlightenment. If he can use this to study, it will be of great benefit to Li Changxiao. It is all unexpected. Li Changxiao did not ask for any reward for saving people from thousands of miles away, but the reward came naturally.
Li Changxiao found a riverside, built a fire, and made a bed with leaves and soft grass. He gently put Wang Ruyi down, but he didn't expect that the dream was quite ups and downs, as if she was about to break away from deep sleep.
Li Changxiao frowned and covered her chest with his hand. The dream gradually stabilized and she began to snore again. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and he understood.
Wang Ruyi's deep sleep was caused by him. Well, Li Changxiao lay down on his side and fell asleep beside her, using the rhythm of deep sleep to study dreams.
In a blink of an eye, it was already dawn.
Li Changxiao sat up and stretched, feeling relaxed and comfortable. The fire had burned out, leaving only some gray charcoal. Wang Ruyi was still sleeping beside him. He looked up at the sky. Today was a good day, with clear skies and a gentle breeze. The birds woke up earlier than him and called from the branches.
A ray of sunlight climbed up the mountain wall, and a faint heat surrounded my heart. Perhaps it was unique to summer. When I woke up in the morning, I felt a little hot and dry in my mouth.
After a while, the cicadas chirped. Winter has its own charm, and summer has its own beauty. Li Changxiao rubbed his eyes lazily and looked at Wang Ruyi, who was still sweet. Thanks to her, he made a lot of progress in his dreams last night.
He walked towards the mountains.
After he left, about three or two sticks of incense, Wang Ruyi suddenly opened her eyes, her brows relaxed, but then immediately tightened. She wanted to get up, but because of her inconvenience, she struggled several times and could only "step on the spot".
Helplessly, she turned half a circle to the side, changed from lying to lying, then put her head on the ground, raised her waist, knelt on the ground, and stood up.
She looked around, and there was still fear in her eyes, afraid that everything was a dream, but when she saw the soft grass on the ground as a bed, she slept here last night, and she didn't see Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked around again, but her eyes gradually became wet, and she knelt on the ground alone, crying by herself, tears one after another, like jade beads.
He left again, he didn't care about himself.
Wang Ruyi had never felt so wronged before. She cried in the past because she was in pain, suffering, and collapsed. But now she cried because she felt wronged.
The sobbing sound was intermittent, and it was hard to wipe away the tears.
Until she heard light footsteps in the distance, Wang Ruyi looked over and saw the figure in white, and then she barely stopped crying.
She looked up and saw that person, as handsome as last night, who was the one who saved her. She was relieved and filled with great joy.
"I'm going to find some fruit for you." Li Changxiao held a lotus leaf, and there were various sweet fruits scattered on the leaf.
He would not leave Wang Ruyi alone. She was in a state where she could not take care of herself. If he patted her butt and left, it would be no different from killing her directly.
He thought of Wang Ruyi, who had not eaten for a long time, and her lips had been cracked, bleeding, and scabbed. Li Changxiao is not Zhang Long or Zhao Hu. He will help others to the end and take care of them.
But he did not expect that the empress would cry like this after he left for a while.
When he was in a fragile mood, he neglected it... Li Changxiao thought to himself.
