"Sigh …" The Empress sighed deeply and looked at her daughter. Suddenly, a heartfelt sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart: Do we have the same fate as mother and daughter? Or is Meng 'er even more unfortunate than me? I still have Ah Han's attachment. At least I have loved him, but Meng 'er has unrequited love from beginning to end. It's so pitiful …
Murong Xiu Xiu quietly pondered for a long time. She slowly stood up and looked at her daughter lovingly. She paced back and forth a few times. Suddenly, an indescribable fierceness and madness burst out in her eyes. From the side, the gentle and beautiful face of the Empress, the dignified and dignified face of the Empress, seemed a bit ferocious at this moment!
My life has long been ruined, completely ruined in the hands of that man! Do I have to watch my own daughter's life also be ruined in his hands? She is my only daughter, and also the source of all my blood and sweat! " She thought silently, and the look in her eyes became more and more tragic and crazy: I have to work hard for my daughter. Even if I can't succeed, at least I have done my best as a mother!
She was so excited that she gasped violently. This gasp sounded as if she was tearing her throat. It was so hysterical!
"Mother?" Princess Reimu looked up worriedly.
"It's okay! It's really okay! " The Empress lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to let her daughter see the fire in her eyes. She just slowly waved her hand and said, "Don't think about it anymore. It's getting late. Go back and rest."
The Empress' heart seemed to shatter as she watched her daughter obediently and sadly disappear from her line of sight. Gritting her teeth, her cheeks puffed up as she finally made up her mind. She stood up and refused to be served by the palace maids. She put on a coat and suddenly said coldly: "Call for a sedan chair; I want to leave the Imperial Palace and go to the Jun Family!"
"Your Majesty, it's already late at night …" The maid looked at her in fear.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" The Empress glared and said loudly. This was the first time she had spoken in such a harsh tone since she entered the palace.
"Yes, this servant will go." The palace maid was so scared that she almost collapsed to the ground and hurried out.
The Empress laughed self-mockingly. Hearing the footsteps outside, she suddenly tightened her collar and walked out without hesitation. When she walked out of the palace gate, a black shadow flashed out from the darkness like a phantom and followed her step by step like a shadow.
"Ah Jiu, where are the new guards on duty now?" Before the Empress got on the sedan chair, she asked in an extremely indifferent tone.
"I heard he wasn't on duty. They were all in the Imperial Guard Camp and formed their own brigade. That group of people were all very arrogant, and their skills were also very good. Usually, I don't see them do anything, but recently … they've been quite well-behaved. "The shadow-like Ah Jiu pondered for a moment before replying cautiously.
"Hmm, you've only started behaving since half a month ago, right?" The Empress asked indifferently with a hint of mockery in her eyes. Half a month ago was the time when Jun Moxie had returned to Tian Xiang City.
"Yes, and they've been in the Three Battalions since then. They haven't come out … no one has come out," Ah Jiu replied carefully. He didn't dare to look at the Empress' face because he could hear the gloominess and bloodthirst in the Empress' tone.
"Ah, the Blood Sword Hall was behind the Ye Family's massacre, wasn't it?" The Empress lowered her voice and asked.
"Yes … but almost everyone in the capital knew about it at the time. So, it wasn't a secret at all," Ah Jiu replied in astonishment. Only then did he realize that the Empress had already boarded the carriage.
The wind was cold, and it was already the latter half of the night. There were no stars or moon as the carriage rolled out of the palace gate.
…
"What did you say? The Empress went to the Jun Family at a time like this? "The Emperor frowned. His face was frighteningly gloomy. He had drunk a lot of wine, and his head was drooping weakly. But, he suddenly raised his head as soon as he heard these words. His eyes shot out a hawk-like gaze!
Fierce and cruel!
"Yes." The guard knelt on the ground, and didn't dare to raise his head.
"I know. You can go now." The Emperor leaned back, and closed his eyes tiredly. His fingers gently rubbed the space between his eyebrows. The ruthless look on his face became more intense, and his breathing became more rapid. He murmured, "She went to the Jun Family at a time like this? Why? Why? Why?! "
The more he thought about it, the more panic flashed across his face. Then, a hysterical look emerged on his face. He roared in a low voice, "Why can't I go at a time like this? Why are you going now? Are you trying to sell me out? Murong Xiu Xiu, I've tolerated you for a long time! For a long time! "
He roared loudly. The alcohol had eroded his eyes into a blood-red color, and he looked ferocious. Then, he suddenly said decisively, "Someone! Ask Mr. Wen to come here. "
"Brother Wen, I want to ask you to do something for me. Please!" The elegant Mr. Wen had a smile on his face. He had just arrived, and the Emperor had already made a request.
"How could I dare? What's the matter? Oh, this Old Man has come here today to inform His Majesty of something, "Mr. Wen smiled as he looked at the Emperor.
"Mr. Wen also has a matter? Please speak first, Mr. Wen! " His Majesty had a smile on his face. But, the muscles on his dignified face were faintly twitching. His three strands of beard were also trembling slightly. His eyebrows were brimming with murderous intentions.
"This Old Man will leave the Tian Xiang Imperial Palace tomorrow, and return to the Great Golden City! I won't be the only one returning this time. The entire Xuan Xuan Continent's people who have been stationed in the various Imperial Palaces will be withdrawn starting tomorrow! We won't meddle in worldly affairs from now on! "Mr. Wen said with a smile.
"This Old Man will leave the Tian Xiang Imperial Palace tomorrow, and return to the Great Golden City! I won't be the only one returning this time. All the people who have been stationed in the Xuan Xuan Continent's Imperial Palaces will be withdrawn starting tomorrow! We won't meddle in worldly affairs from now on! We won't meddle in any form or by any means! "Mr. Wen said with a smile.
"What? How … "His Majesty suddenly stood up. He looked at the man in front of him in disbelief. He couldn't believe his own ears.
"I'm sorry, but it's true!" Mr. Wen said in a serious tone.
His indifferent words had thoroughly shattered the Emperor's last shred of hope.
"Why has such a decision been made so suddenly? I ask Mr. Wen to explain clearly! "His Majesty slowly sat back down. His face exposed a trace of bitterness as he asked in a low voice.
"I don't know about this. This decision has been made by the highest level of the Golden City. I'm powerless to do anything about it." Mr. Wen looked at the man in front of him, "Your Majesty, you … take care of yourself!"
"He he … take care of yourself! What do I need to take care of myself … "His Majesty chuckled. His face was full of loneliness. He slowly shook his head and said in a low voice," I've been governing the country cautiously and conscientiously. I've been handling official affairs day and night. I'm afraid that I've been handling them more than I had in the past few years … He he, I don't have much time left. So, I'll naturally do my best to handle them well. I'll go and have a drink with Jun Wu Hui, right? Wrong? This is ridiculous! Ha ha ha … "
He was laughing, but his eyes didn't have the slightest hint of a smile. Instead, they were filled with sorrow.
"The Crown Prince?" Mr. Wen frowned.
"Mr. Wen, it's time to leave. So, let's decide on the successor today. The First Prince will be the Crown Prince." His Majesty sighed deeply. A look of powerlessness flashed in his eyes, "He's the only one among the three princes. The other two are … unworthy!"
"Your Majesty, are you worried that Jun Moxie will take revenge?" Mr. Wen asked.
"Mr. Wen, do you think that … Jun Moxie won't take revenge? Or, will he never find out the truth? "His Majesty asked back.
"Paper can't wrap up fire. So what if he can't find any evidence? Does he still need any evidence? "Mr. Wen smiled and said in a heavy tone.
"Brother Wen, I believe that after you leave this time, the two of us will never have the chance to meet again in this lifetime." His Majesty's words were extremely sorrowful. He turned his head and looked at the dark night outside. Then, he slowly said, "You and I have been living together for so many years. We may not be brothers, but we are like brothers. How can Brother Wen bear to leave? "
Mr. Wen became silent for a long time. Then, he sighed and said, "Actually, I don't want to leave. You haven't treated me as an Emperor in these years. I've been indebted to you. But, I don't know how to repay you."
"Brother Wen, I want you to do something for me." His Majesty suddenly raised his head. His eyes were filled with madness. His murderous intention flickered in them, "You'll leave tomorrow! Just take it as a parting gift to me before you leave! Please! "
"Please speak, Your Majesty! I've been living in the Imperial Palace for so many years. And, I've been feeling very restless. I'm about to leave. So, I'll feel a little relieved if I can do something for Your Majesty. "Mr. Wen was silent for a moment. Then, he resolutely replied.
"The Empress left the palace a moment ago. She went to the Jun Family! " His Majesty's voice was hoarse. It was mixed with deep pain and helplessness, "She has been in a cold war with me all this time. She looked at me as if she was looking at an irreconcilable enemy! I've put up with her for eighteen years! And, she's going to the Jun Family at this time! And, she's going to the Jun Family at this time! "
The Emperor of Tian Xiang – Yang Huai Yu's voice sounded like that of a wounded beast. He was growling in a low voice. His face had become extremely distorted. He had become extremely ferocious. His hands were tightly clenched into fists.
"Eighteen years! I've put up with her. I've loved her crazily. I've been infatuated with her. But, I've never been able to get even the slightest bit of her sincerity! I've been guarding this shell of mine. But, I've never been able to get anything more! From the beginning to the end, I, the ruler of a nation, can't even compare to that traitorous bastard Ye Gu Han! "
His Majesty made threatening gestures as he roared. He suddenly grabbed the wine cup. But, it was already empty. So, he threw it aside in annoyance. Then, he picked up the wine pot, and gulped it down.
