After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 462 I Give You My Dream

He walked in slowly, and through the tattered window paper, he saw Shangguan Chengjing holding a woman with a painful look on his face. The woman kept twitching and shouting, "Give me Furong Powder! Give me Furong Powder!"

"Ah Jing!" Shangguan Chengjing's face was wet with tears. His thin face was pressed tightly against the woman in his arms. His voice was painful. "You will get better. You will definitely get better. I will be with you. I will always be with you!"

"It's all my fault! If I hadn't come back, you could still use my identity to show filial piety to your parents, and you wouldn't be kicked out of the house because of that bitch Liu Er, and you wouldn't have ruined the reputation of the Duke's Mansion and made your parents lose face for me!"

"I deserve to die! I deserve to die! It hurts so much, let me die!" The woman's pupils were bloodshot and she was beating her chest and screaming.

The little child beside him cried loudly, "Mom, don't die, mom, don't die..."

Shangguan Chengjing collapsed and trembled, "Don't be afraid, I will go and beg her. No matter what she wants, I will give it to her. Doesn't she just want to be the Crown Prince's Consort? I promise, I will definitely bring you the Furong Powder. You wait for me!"

"Don't go!" The woman grabbed Shangguan Chengjing's shoes tightly, with deep hatred in her scarlet eyes, "Don't go! Even if I die, I will never fulfill the wish of that bitch Liu Er!"

"She hurt me so badly, and she still wants to be the Crown Prince's consort? She's dreaming! Hahahaha...Xuan'er, didn't we agree on this? Give up the position of Crown Prince and let that bitch Liu Er's scheme fail!"

Tao Bushe looked at her from afar and felt that the woman looked very familiar. Ah, isn’t she... isn’t she his former neighbor, the eldest daughter of the Zhai family, Zhai Jingxuan?

He only heard that she had been missing for many years, but he didn't expect that she had married Brother Chengjing.

Is that their child?

This world is really small.

The Liu Er she mentioned, couldn't it be...

Tao Bushe waited until dark, filled with doubts and shock. Zhai Jingxuan fell into a deep sleep, the child also fell asleep, and Shangguan Chengjing walked out of the room tiredly.

Then, Tao Bushe appeared.

Tao Bushe took him to a restaurant. Shangguan Chengjing was drunk and covered his face with his hands, with endless pain pouring out from between his fingers.

"Liu Er is determined to marry me. No, she doesn't want to marry me either. She wants to marry Shangguan Chengjing. She wants the position of the Crown Prince's Consort, but I already have a wife. Even if I don't, I won't marry her and let her bring harm to the Duke's Mansion! She has been evil since she was a child. Mother said that she sent her away because she killed her little daughter. I didn't expect that she would not change her ways and even intend to come back..."

"She used Hibiscus Powder to control my wife and forced me to submit. My husband and I discussed it and decided to abandon our identities and break up with our family. I didn't expect Liu Er to follow us like a ghost and torture us..." Shangguan Chengjing hugged his head.

Shangguan Chengjing spoke for a long time, and finally became incoherent.

Tao Bushe felt mixed emotions.

Before leaving, Shangguan Chengjing asked him if he could pack some of the food to take back with him as his wife and children had not eaten yet.

He was once a nobleman, the son of a princess. His father, the Duke of Zhenguo, was extremely powerful in the court, but he ended up in such a state of loneliness.

In the dream, Tao Bushe's eyes were slightly moist. At the same time, he made up his mind that he would help Shangguan Chengjing.

He has been stingy and calculative all his life, but he is willing to be generous once for a moment of kindness.

Tao Bushe went to find Liu Er, and pestered him day and night, indulging in pleasure. The silver that Liu Er got from Shangguan Chengjing passed through his hands and then returned to Shangguan Chengjing, and Liu Er knew nothing about it.

However, these things were too trivial. It seemed as if a pair of big hands were pushing this miserable family of three towards hell. The baby died, and Zhai Jingxuan was already addicted to drugs, and now she could not bear it anymore.

Shangguan Chengjing's expression was very calm, and he went out to work as usual. Seeing that he was not giving up, he secretly asked a doctor for Zhai Jingxuan. He shook his head and smiled, "No need."

"He's tired."

He walked to the bed, sat down, grabbed Zhai Jingxuan's hand, which was bruised and swollen, and put it on his face. His tone was gentle, like a feather brushing past.

"Mom...is not dead. She seems to have been locked up by Dad. But don't worry, Mom is very smart. She escaped. Dad is very angry. Ha...he rebelled. You know, he actually rebelled! The capital is in chaos now. There are soldiers searching everywhere."

"It's said that he did it for Princess Huai'an. If he became emperor, he would make Princess Huai'an his empress. Zhao Ziyin and Zhao Zihua are also his biological children. No wonder Bai Lin was willing to die to expose his lies!"

"The day before yesterday, my father's subordinates came to find you, saying that my father was going to be the emperor, and you were his eldest son. They were more willing to support you as the heir than that concubine's son Zhao Ziyin. Moreover, there were some old ministers from the previous dynasty who still missed the Zhao bloodline. I thought about it, and according to my mother's temper, she would definitely not want to do it. I secretly found Wan'er, and she said that since my father missed the mother and son in his heart and betrayed my mother, he was no longer your father, so I refused."

"Ah Jing, are you satisfied with what I have done?"

The woman on the bed closed her eyes and forced a smile with difficulty.

Shangguan Chengjing watched silently, and suddenly, tears rolled down his eyes.

Tao Bushe on the side finally understood something.

He felt that Shangguan Chengjing was the real Zhai Jingxuan, and inside Zhai Jingxuan's shell was Shangguan Chengjing.

Why is this so?

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..." Zhai Jingxuan coughed violently, almost coughing out her heart and lungs.

Shangguan Chengjing stood up and held her in his arms. Outside the simple window frame was a lonely bright moon. The moonlight that night was so soft and beautiful, so beautiful that Zhai Jingxuan also felt a little angry.

The two of them talked in low voices for a long time, and he listened for as long as they talked.

He heard Zhai Jingxuan ask, "Xuan'er, do you have a dream?"

Zhai Jingxuan looked at the moonlight and smiled vaguely.

"I do! My dream is to be a general on the battlefield like my father, but unfortunately, I have no control over my fate..."

Shangguan Chengjing, who was holding him, secretly wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't."

Zhai Jingxuan raised her hand, put it on her face, and said lovingly, "Then I will give you my dream."

……

"I'm going to join the army..."

Tao Bushe looked at Shangguan Chengjing kneeling in front of the tombstone, frowned and advised, "If my guess is correct, you... don't know any martial arts, how can you go to the battlefield?"

"Cheng Jing gave me his dream, and I want to fulfill it for him."

"I will go to the battlefield in his name, make achievements, and let the world know that Shangguan Chengjing is a brave warrior!"

Tao Bushe was silent for a while, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Another scene changed, with gunpowder smoke and blood mist rising into the air. In the sea of ​​blood and corpses, he frantically turned over the dead bodies one by one, shouting hoarsely, "Cheng Jing! Shangguan Cheng Jing, where are you?!"

"Shangguan Chengjing!!"

Tao Bushe suddenly sat up from the bed, sweating profusely, his pale face full of panic. He looked around and suddenly realized that this was a dream.

Such a vivid dream.

He subconsciously covered his chest, and the dull pain from inside lingered for a long time.

Why did he dream about these?

Shangguan Chengjing and Zhai Jingxuan in the dream are so miserable.

He did not know Shangguan Chengjing, but he was familiar with Zhai Jingxuan. When they were young, they often got together to discuss academic matters.

The other kids were playing, but they just didn't fit in.

But as they grew older, due to the differences between men and women, they never spoke to each other again.
