Broken Bonds

Chapter 85

Chapter 85:

After nearly a month, Hui'er's condition finally stabilized and gradually recovered. It has been a while since Beitang Ao and Yan Feili were separated.

The moon was clear and bright this night, and it was another full moon night. Beitang Ao came out of the courtyard where Huier lived, feeling a little sad.

Just now Dr. Liu Yu said that the child was finally completely out of danger, even getting better, and he would be cured in a few days. Lin Yanyan was also there to take care of Hui'er. She said that she would be a good mother concubine for the children, so she really stayed there for more than ten days and stayed with Hui'er. It's just that she and Beitang Ao have become estranged a lot.

Beitang Ao couldn't understand why women change so quickly? After the death of the real Hui'er, Lin Yanyan fell ill. After she recovered from her illness, her personality changed drastically. She was addicted to the Buddhist Hall all day, fasting and reciting the Buddha scriptures, and she was cold and indifferent to everything. Gone were the gentleness and thoughtfulness of the past.

But he could understand her feelings, after all, it was her own son who died. Just now he heard the words of Doctor Liu, but at the same time he was relieved, he saw the complex color flashing across Lin Yanyan's face, and he also flashed in a sharp sense, thinking of the child they had lost together. Presumably Yanyan felt really uncomfortable in her heart.

When they got married, he promised to help her father take care of the prince and help the emperor's youngest son, who is his uncle and the current emperor, to overthrow Prince Dongyang and rise to the throne. Now that he has done this, the common goal of the two families has also been achieved. But the road between him and Yanyan has gone farther and farther. After losing the child, it was difficult for them to look back. Whenever they saw each other, it also increased their pain.

Beitang Ao raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky, suddenly thinking strongly about Yan Feili. Although it was only a short month apart, his yearning for him was so fierce that he couldn't help it. Thinking of his gentle smile, deep voice, slender body and...

Beitang Ao suddenly felt hot. He went to the stable, and pulled out Mo Xue without telling anyone. He quietly turned on his horse, galloped out, and drove out of the city before the city gate closed.

Yan Feili could not sleep. He's been turning over and over on the bed.

It's been a month. It has been a whole month since they were separated. There was no news from Beitang Ao, and he didn't know what he was up to.

Although knowing that it was not Beitang Ao's style and it was inconvenient to let people bring letters to himself, he still wanted to know even a little bit of his and his son's situation. On two occasions, he took the initiative to help Liu Qi enter the capital city with errands, and he was already in front of the Beitang Palace, but when he held the jade token in his hands, he would always turn his back suddenly.

In what capacity is he going back now? Nothing! Besides, it was himself who decided to leave at the beginning, and he couldn't look back. In that majestic and grand palace, the family of the King of Beitang, who lived in the Ming Dynasty, was not his master anymore, nor he is his subordinate.

Yan Feili sighed. It was only a month. They had been separated for many years before, but this month has made it so difficult. He doesn't know how long it will take for the two of them to have a chance to meet again.

The more Yan Feili missed him, the more difficult it was to fall asleep. He sat up and pushed open the window. The moon outside was so perfect and soft that he was more lonely.

Yan Feili stared at the bright moon for a long while, with a slight colic in his heart, he simply sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and meditated intently, hoping to converge his mind and soul and calm his mind and body.

I  am really going crazy.

He didn't know how long it took, and Yan Feili shook his head in frustration. Because he actually seemed to smell the cold fragrance of Beitang Ao's body that seemed to be there, and he couldn't help but smile and opened his eyes.

How could this be? Does he really miss him too much?

Yan Feili felt hot all over, not only he missed Beitang Ao tonight, but also he missed his... love making  very much.

He took a deep breath and jumped out of bed. He put on his coat and decided to go for a walk, and calm down, but suddenly his whole body was stunned. As if he couldn't believe it, he stood in the house for a moment and walked to the door, he opened the door gently, there was a feeling in his heart, and looked under the big tree in the courtyard.

Beitang Ao was still dressed in white, standing quietly under the shade of the tree, and smiled at him.

Yuan Qing remembered the pony that had just been born today. Because it was born prematurely and in a very bad condition, he deliberately took it back to the farm with her mare to take care of. But thinking about the foal, he always feels uneasy in his heart, he didn't know if the little guy would make it through. So he got up and walked out of the house, limping towards the courtyard.

The place where he lives was attached to the farmyard. It was a row of huts built alone. In addition to him, there were several long-term workers who worked on the horse farm. But because he was a veterinarian and well respected, he has his own place, a one room hut that was in the yard. He had to go around the small forest behind the yard from here to see the stable.

When he was passing through the woods, he noticed that there was a slight movement inside. Yuan Qing could hear that it was the voice of a horse. He thought it a little strange, how could there be wild horses in the forest at this time? The mating season was too early. Besides, there was only one mare that has just given birth at the mansion now.

He walked a few steps in, and at a glance saw a black horse with four snow-like hooves bathing in the moonlight, eating grass leisurely. Hearing his movements, it just looked up and then lowered its head and continued gnawing on the fresh grass.

Yuan Qing stared at the thoroughbred blankly, not knowing what to do for a while. After a moment, he retreated slowly like when he came in.

He arrived at the stable in a daze and took care of the baby horse absently. Because it was born prematurely, it was trembling next to its mother, and his body was very weak, as if it could fall to the ground at any time. The mother kept guarding and silently encouraging it.

Yuan Qing relaxed slightly, because although this pony was fragile, its vitality was very strong. With the company of its mother, it might be able to grow up healthily.

He wanted to go back to where he lived, but looking back at the courtyard door leading to the courtyard, he remembered the horse just now...

He came to the door, pushed it slightly, and the door opened in response. It was not that the door was not bolted, but the bolt was cracked by something and fell to the ground. Yuan Qing lowered his head to pick it up, took a look in his hand, and suddenly his hand shook, and the latch fell again.

He looked at the row of houses in front of the courtyard with a complex expression. The candle in the westernmost room has flared and suddenly extinguished. The night and calmness of the entire courtyard was restored, and there was a faint fragrance in the air condensed with the grassland.

He stood there for a while. Finally, he did not step into the yard, he pulled the door and gently closed the yard.
