【Ding!Perhaps in the perception of the host, the system is omnipotent, but unfortunately, the system is not. 】
[In the system mall, the host can exchange various medicines for future generations, such as cold medicine, heart medicine, and even anticancer medicine, but there are no props that can bring people back to life. 】
……
Just like that, Li Qiu, who thought he was omnipotent, but in fact could do nothing, fell down beside the old housekeeper Wang Zhong, heartbroken, and burst into tears.
Li Qiu's heart was broken by the old butler's confession before his death, and the parting that was full of reluctance.
Seeing Li Qiu like this, because he can also feel Li Qiu's strong emotions, even A Ke couldn't help feeling sad.
As a top assassin, one cannot have such emotions.
As for the last time she had this emotion, she might not even remember.
Maybe it was the time when my brother died tragically and the clan members disappeared?
Seeing the light here and hearing the movement here, the neighbors around also rushed over to help with the funeral here.
During the curfew in Chang'an City, special circumstances such as medical treatment, childbirth, and funerals do not need to abide by the curfew.
Before, they also heard the news that Mr. Li Qiu had returned.
But it was already curfew time, and they could only wait until tomorrow daytime.
Soon, the situation on Li Qiu's side also alarmed more people, who came to help and condolences to the old housekeeper Wang Zhong.
Until the next day, more and more people, dignitaries and nobles came to mourn the king.
Because of Li Qiu and Xiaoguan, many people recognize the old butler Wang Zhong.
To be able to have such a beautiful and grand funeral is a kind of consolation for this loyal old housekeeper.
However, during the three days from Wang Zhong's death to his burial, Li Qiu's mood was very low.
Sometimes, I just sat there blankly in the yard like this, not knowing what I was thinking.
During this period, Changsun Wuji, Samurai Xun, Wei Zheng, Feng Li, and many others visited him.
But when they saw such a low mood, everyone didn't say anything else, and left after some comfort.
Besides, in the palace, since seeing Li Qiu safely back that day, Empress Changsun's mood has obviously improved a lot.
I also felt hungry, and I was willing to drink some soup and medicine. Under the careful conditioning of the imperial doctor and the imperial dining room, Empress Changsun's complexion and physical condition have obviously improved.
Then, when such a funeral happened at Li Qiu's house, she couldn't bear to disturb Li Qiu and called him into the palace.
Today, Changsun Wuji came here to visit his sister.
Seeing her elder brother coming, Empress Changsun also asked with concern, how is Qiu'er's situation going?
At this time, Changsun Wuji sighed lightly.
"I have visited this child twice in the past two days."
"Other aspects are fine, but Li Qiu's mood is obviously depressed these days."
"Just sitting like that all the time, I heard that he hasn't even stepped out of the house in the past few days."
Empress Changsun sighed softly, "I have met that king several times."
"I also chatted with him a lot about Li Qiu and what happened around them in these years."
"Over the years, they have been the only poor master and servant who depended on each other."
"For Qiu'er, in his world, Wang Zhong is the only relative in his world."
"Now that Wang Zhong is gone, he is the only one left. With this child's temperament, how can he not feel lonely and sad?"
"Hey, brother, you can walk with me, I want to go to Qiu'er to have a look."
"Go and accompany him."
Although Changsun Wuji wanted to refuse Empress Changsun's request.
She is still weak now, and the trip out of the palace is still too bumpy and tiring.
However, in the end, Changsun Wuji couldn't resist his sister who cared about his son.
On this sunny afternoon, he still accompanied Empress Changsun to Li Qiu's old house again.
After meeting Li Qiu and exchanging some courtesy, Changsun Wuji quietly led the people away, leaving the quiet and peaceful space here to their mother and son.
At this time, Empress Changsun gently asked Li Qiu to sit down on the stone bench beside her.
Then she looked at him tenderly and said slowly: "Li Qiu, I also feel very sad about Wang Zhong's death."
"He is a loving and righteous old servant, old housekeeper."
"Actually, after the news of your death in battle came out, it was obvious that the time was not far away, Wang Zhong."
"However, in order to make you feel at ease, he has done all the instructions you have given, one by one."
"I can also know how you feel at the moment."
"If you have something in your heart, if you have any grievances and sadness, just tell me."
"Don't hold it in your heart alone, it's easy to go wrong."
In this bright sunny afternoon, listening to the gentle and caring voice of Empress Changsun and the wind and drizzle beside me.
Instinctively, Li Qiu planned to smile and thank the empress for her concern.
But somehow, just when he opened his mouth and was about to speak, he suddenly felt out of control.
That kind of grievance and sad emotion poured out like a flood that broke a bank.
This feeling is really like when a child who has suffered a great grievance outside suddenly sees his mother.
Li Qiu's eye sockets were instantly moist, and his voice was choked with sobs.
"I……"
"I'm not sad either."
"This man is born, old, sick and dead."
"But I don't know why, whenever I sit or walk, I always want to look back."
"I always feel that Wang Zhong is still the same as before, always following behind me, looking at me with squinted eyes and a smile..."
"Other times, when I'm eating, when I'm sleeping... no matter what I'm doing, I always feel like there's something missing around me."
"Empty."
"In my memory, there has never been a time when there was no king."
"Sometimes, I always feel that he is not dead, but he is still following me, and then tells me: Master, it's cold, please add some clothes;
Young master, do you want to eat steamed rice or pancakes tonight; Young master, we have saved another coin this month..."
Chapter 110 Qiu'er's Marriage Should Be Put on the Agenda
Seeing Li Qiu crying sadly and turning into a big boy, Empress Changsun felt distressed and pity at the same time.
She only gently stroked his head, listening to him express the sadness in his heart.
In the incomparably gentle and loving eyes looking at Li Qiu, Empress Changsun also sighed slightly in her heart:
Qiu'er, although Wang Zhong is no longer there.
But in this world, you still have your mother, father, and uncle by your side to accompany you.
Maybe you don't know yet, but your real identity is His Royal Highness, a prince of our Tang Dynasty.
Also, you can never imagine how much your father and your uncle love you.
A while ago, after seeing you die in battle, your father and your uncle, they both went crazy and rushed to the Turkic army on the opposite side, and they wanted to avenge you.
Even though mother has been by their side for so many years, she has never seen them both so angry.
Qiu'er, don't worry, mother will definitely take good care of her body and cure her illness as soon as possible.
In this way, mother can stay by your side for a few more years.
Then watch you, get married, have children...
Of course, all these affectionate words only exist in the heart of Empress Changsun.
Seeing that Li Qiu's mood gradually calmed down, Empress Changsun smiled and gently enlightened Li Qiu.
"Li Qiu, I think before Wang Zhong left, I hope you can live happily and live every day well."
"If you're so sad and you keep yourself bored in the yard all day, he won't be relieved on the other side."
"Also, look, in today's Chang'an City, there are still many people like me, Your Majesty, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, etc. who care about you."
"If you keep doing this, wouldn't it make them more worried?"
"Now, you are no longer the little merchant who opened a nameless restaurant."
"Instead, he has become a great hero for the people of our entire Tang Dynasty and Chang'an City."
"This country still needs you to protect and serve, so you should cheer up, don't you..."
After being enlightened by Empress Changsun, Li Qiu really felt relieved and improved a lot.
He was a little embarrassed to cry in front of Empress Changsun for such a big man.
After Empress Changsun left, Li Qiu also changed into a brand new robe, ready to go out.
"I'm going out to drink and eat meat, do you want to go with me?"
Facing Li Qiu's question, A Ke in the shadow shook his head.
This answer was expected, so Li Qiu left the house and came to Feng Li's mansion.
Along the way, too many people saw Li Qiu and squeezed over to say hello with a smile.
The concern in those words and expressions made Li Qiu feel warm in his heart.
What the empress said was right, so before I knew it, there were already so many people who cared about me in this Chang'an city.
In front of Feng Li's mansion, the servants and guards saw Li Qiu coming.
Directly and enthusiastically ran over to salute, "I have met the Duke, General Li Qiu!"
At this time, Li Qiu looked back at himself, he was alone, and he was a bare-handed commander.
His own country's father-in-law and general seem a little too shabby.
"Please go in and inform General Feng Li..."
Before he finished speaking, he was directly invited in by these people.
"Hi! My lord, great general, Mr. Li, when you come to our general's mansion, isn't it the same as coming to your own home?"
"If our general finds out that we left you at the gate of the mansion, our legs must be broken!"
"Come in, come in, come in!"
On the other side, after receiving the report from the servants, Feng Li also rushed out immediately.
"Li Qiu!"
"My good brother! Why did you come to me all of a sudden and didn't say hello in advance?!"
"You don't know, originally I wanted to see you a long time ago, but then Wei Zheng and the others insisted on letting you be quiet."
"I didn't go now."
At this moment, Li Qiu smiled wryly and sighed, "Oh, I'm living in poverty, with no wine, no meat, no rice, no firewood, and no money."
"So I ran to Brother Feng and you came here to eat and drink."
His words also made Feng Li laugh out loud, "I said brother, if you're looking for a pink lady here, brother, you won't have one."
"But when it comes to wine and meat, hey, come on!"
"Come, come, come in and talk."
"There are still a few of you, go separately and invite Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Wei Ting and other adults."
"Just tell them that Li Qiu is here, waiting for them to come over and have a drink together!"
On the other side, when Li Qiu came to Feng Li's place, Wei Zheng and the others also rushed to drink and chat with Li Qiu, and Empress Changsun also returned to the palace.
