OBS Chapter 795 History, Covered Up
Chapter 795 History, Covered Up
Inside the manor, the neatly trimmed green plants sway gently in the breeze, and occasionally the sound of birds chirping breaks the silence.
Mr. Qi was dressed in a plain long gown as usual, with his long hair casually tied up. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, looking into the distance with a deep and distant look in his eyes, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
He exudes a unique aura, as gentle as jade, which makes people unconsciously want to get close to him, but because of the unfathomable mystery around him, people dare not approach him easily.
On weekdays, he rarely left his room and spent most of his time immersed in his own world, dealing with matters that seemed to never be finished, or reading ancient books and immersing himself in the vast ocean of history.
He is like an isolated being, quietly observing the world, yet seems to maintain a subtle distance from it.
At this time, the butler knocked on the door cautiously. After getting a response, he gently pushed the door open and walked in, holding the day's schedule and some important documents in his hands.
"Sir, this is the arrangement for today."
The butler spoke respectfully, his voice low, for fear of breaking the silence in the room.
Mr. Qi nodded slightly, but his eyes still did not move away from the window. He just responded faintly.
At this moment, Mr. Qi's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he had caught something important.
He leaned forward slightly, staring intently at a certain direction outside the window, a rare look of anticipation and excitement on his face.
The butler followed his gaze, but saw only an empty tree-lined avenue. He couldn't help feeling very confused, but didn't dare to ask more questions.
"Don't look at it anymore. My boss is coming. I'm going to go out and pick him up. You all should get busy."
Mr. Qi withdrew his gaze and turned to speak to the housekeeper and other servants.
His tone was calm, yet it stirred a thousand emotions within the crowd. The entire manor was instantly engulfed in an uproar, and the servants whispered among themselves, their faces filled with surprise and curiosity.
In their perception, this young and promising boss who controls a huge business empire is already at the top of the pyramid. Now he says that he has a boss?
This is really hard to imagine. Who on earth could make this unfathomable boss pay so much attention to him and even go to greet him in person?
Mr. Qi ignored everyone's reactions and walked slowly towards the gate of the manor with steady steps.
Every step felt like stepping on one's own heartbeat, carrying with it an indescribable nervous anticipation.
The familiar figure kept appearing in his mind, as if he had returned to a thousand years ago. The years he spent with Li Chengqian came flooding back before his eyes like a tide.
Outside the manor, Li Jiangning stood on the side of the road, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar manor in front of him, with a lot of emotions in his heart.
He took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and then walked towards the manor gate. As his footsteps gradually approached, a strong sense of belonging arose spontaneously, as if this was his true home.
Mr. Qi stood at the door and saw Li Jiangning from a distance.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
His breathing stagnated and his legs suddenly became weak, as if he had lost the strength to support his body.
He had imagined this scene countless times in his mind, thinking that he was well prepared and could remain calm and composed, but when this moment actually came, he realized that he had overestimated himself.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Mr. Qi muttered to himself, his lips trembling. His voice was weak but firm, filled with a thousand years of longing.
He could no longer maintain his usual composure and walked quickly towards Li Jiangning, stumbling and almost falling.
He finally saw the figure he had been thinking about day and night.
When Li Jiangning heard the familiar name, his heart trembled and he looked up.
Mr. Qi's green robe fluttered in the breeze. His familiar face had hardly changed from what he remembered. He was still as gentle as jade, but his eyes and eyebrows showed a hint of vicissitudes of life.
Li Jiangning's eyes instantly became moist, and he quickened his pace and ran towards Mr. Qi.
The two met at the gate of the manor and clasped their hands tightly. At that moment, all the words they could say turned into a silent gaze.
Their hands trembled, conveying each other's warmth and emotions. Li Jiangning looked at the tears in Mr. Qi's eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. All the confusion and anxiety disappeared in this moment.
"Your Majesty, long time no see, really long time."
Mr. Qi's voice choked and tears finally burst out.
He could no longer control his emotions and held Li Jiangning tightly in his arms, as if if he let go, the other person would disappear again in the long river of time and space.
Li Jiangning also hugged Mr. Qi tightly, feeling the warmth of his body and the familiar breath.
"Lao Qi, thank you for waiting for me."
His voice was sincere and his heart was filled with emotion.
The moment he saw Mr. Qi, he felt his heart was filled. The sense of emptiness that had been lingering in his heart disappeared, replaced by a sense of security.
"Your Majesty, come, let's go in and talk, let's go in and talk."
Mr. Qi excitedly took Li Jiangning's hand and walked towards the manor.
His steps were hurried, and his eyes revealed an impatience, as if he wanted to immediately tell Li Jiangning all the longing he had experienced over the years.
The two walked through the ornately decorated corridors, passing servants who looked at them in surprise.
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Jiangning, and they were full of curiosity, wondering who this young man was that made the boss pay so much attention to him and personally greet him and bring him into a private room.
When he stepped into Mr. Qi's private room, Li Jiangning was shocked by the scene before him.
The decoration style of the room is completely modeled after the Liangyi Hall, and every detail is handled very delicately, as if taking people back to the Tang Dynasty a thousand years ago.
There are exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, quaint carpets on the floor, and the arrangement of furniture is exactly the same as in the Liangyi Hall in my memory.
What surprised Li Jiangning even more was that there were many action figures placed in the room.
These figures are not currently popular anime characters, but familiar faces.
He saw himself wearing a dragon robe, vividly.
When I saw Qin Ruzhao and Zhang Xianhuai, it was as if they were right in front of me.
I also saw Su Zhi, the gentle and virtuous woman, whose charm was perfectly displayed in the figurine.
These figures were all carefully made by Mr. Qi based on his memory, and each one is filled with his thoughts for everyone.
In the tea cabinet in front, Li Jiangning also saw a cup with Fang Xuanling's name on it.
The cup is simple and elegant, exuding the breath of time.
"Your Majesty, these are all real. I brought them back from the Liangyi Palace."
Mr. Qi looked at Li Jiangning's surprised expression and spoke slowly.
Hearing what Mr. Qi said, Li Jiangning nodded, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
"Old Qi, I..." He started to speak but suddenly stopped.
"Ah!" Li Jiangning sighed, a wry smile on his face, "What do you mean by 'I'? It's such a different era now, look at me..."
He was silent for a moment, his voice becoming choked. "Look, I'm confused, Lao Qi."
"It must have been hard for you to live alone these years?" He looked at Mr. Qi with heartache.
Mr. Qi looked at Li Jiangning with tears in his eyes, shook his head, and said firmly, "Your Majesty, it's not hard. No matter what era, you are my Majesty. You don't know how long I have been looking forward to this day."
Over the years, he has been guarding these items from the Tang Dynasty alone, waiting for Li Jiangning's return in this era.
Although his life was full of loneliness, he felt that it was all worth it as long as he thought that he would see His Majesty again one day.
Li Jiangning had so many questions he wanted to ask, and his heart was filled with countless doubts.
He wanted to know why history hadn't changed, and how many hardships and obstacles Mr. Qi had gone through. For a moment, he didn't know where to start.
"Old Qi, why, why is history still the same, unchanged? How could our Tang Dynasty still be like this?"
Li Jiangning finally couldn't help but ask. He had made countless efforts for the prosperity and development of the Tang Dynasty, but the reality told him that nothing had changed, which made it hard for him to accept.
After hearing Li Jiangning's words, Mr. Qi was silent for a while. After a long while, he slowly said, "Your Majesty, history has been covered up..."
