Ming Zhao originally wanted to hold his hand all the way back to the Underworld, but the spiritual energy in the Heaven Realm had temporarily disappeared, the Celestial Ruler was ill, the Days Later was disgraced, and the Fire God was missing … If even the newly conferred Emperor was not around, it would probably cause all kinds of malicious speculation.
But the Xuanji Palace had suffered a lot of damage due to the pillars, so no one could live there for a while. Fortunately, neither of them were extravagant people, so Ming Zhao simply took him to a guest palace next to the Xuanji Palace to rest temporarily.
Although it was a guest palace, it was divided into a main hall and two side halls. Ming Zhao took him to the main hall and helped him sit on the bed. Then the two fell into silence at the same time.
Ming Zhao looked at the familiar face in front of her and didn't know what to say to ease this late unfamiliarity. She thought of the words she had said to him and was a little glad that he couldn't see now.
She didn't know how to start, so it was better not to speak. She brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup and put it in his hand. Just as she was about to turn around, he grabbed her wrist.
"Ming, Zhao?"
He called her name with uncertainty. Maybe the long silence just now made him misunderstand something.
She wanted to respond, but after a moment of hesitation, she immediately changed the way she addressed him. "… Your Majesty."
As soon as her voice fell, Run Yu loosened his grip on her hand. "Sorry."
"It's okay."
The atmosphere returned to its initial stagnation, and even a little more awkward than before. Ming Zhao looked at the wrist he had touched and didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
She had a lot to say to him, and she wanted to hug him.
But the Run Yu in front of her was not the Night God, but the Celestial Ruler.
He had tens of thousands of years of memory, and even accompanied her through the long reincarnation when her Divine Soul returned to her body. Those memories full of killing, failure, and paranoia … Would he feel disgusted?
"For the last time, you gave Jin Mi two choices —" Run Yu took a sip of tea and threw out the topic. "What did she choose?"
Jin Mi.
It was indeed Jin Mi.
His Majesty the Celestial Ruler's infatuation had never changed.
"I don't know." Taking advantage of the fact that he could not see him, Ming Zhao simply hugged his knees and sat on the ground, looking up at him. "At that time, the only memory I had left was' remove all obstacles'. With my personality, I probably massacred the Flower Realm again."
She said it as if she didn't care, but her tone at the end of the sentence betrayed her.
Was she testing him with Jin Mi?
Run Yu was speechless for a moment. Blindness not only made him unable to see anything, but it also made him unable to see her expression. He had thought that they would have so much to talk about, that he would thank her properly, and that he would —
Seeing him standing there in a daze, Ming Zhao felt a little annoyed. Not to him, but to herself.
Since the moment she regained her memory, she felt that she was really terrible.
She boasted that she was unwilling for him and wanted to take revenge for him, but in the end, she lost her conscience because of jealousy. She pitied his difficult situation and wanted to protect him, but it made Days Later even more afraid of him. After today, even the Celestial Ruler would not be a bystander anymore.
Thinking of this, she was very angry. She had been tormented so many times, but she had not succeeded once.
She just wanted him to feel the happiness of being pampered … That was all she wanted, but she couldn't get it time and time again for various reasons.
It was so embarrassing.
"I —"
"I —"
Both of them spoke at the same time, and both of them were stunned.
"You —"
"You —"
Run Yu chuckled and said, "You go first."
His Majesty was always used to putting himself in other people's shoes.
His Majesty she respected, longed for, and loved.
"I'm sorry." Her whole body shrank into a ball, and her voice sounded muffled, "Because my appearance has disrupted His Majesty's plan. The title 'Emperor' is even more frightening to the Heaven Realm, and the officials who sympathize with you will also doubt your original intention. I'm afraid that even the Water God … will not agree to continue the engagement. "
"It's not a good plan to begin with, so let it be."
Run Yu's Water Elemental Spiritual Power was slightly cold, but very gentle. It flowed slowly around her, as if it was determining her position.
The next second, she was held in his arms.
"Ming Zhao." He seemed to smile again, "Ming Zhao."
He repeated her name like a child.
"Thank you for everything you've done for me."
— Thank you for affirming me.
Her tense body slowly relaxed, and she tried to rub her head against his neck. As expected, she got another chuckle.
His Majesty smiled …
That was so nice.
"But forget about the title 'Your Majesty', lest others hear it and think that I want to usurp the throne. Things like 'Emperor' are too deliberate, and I don't like it. " He patted her shoulder, as if he was coaxing some kind of small animal, "I remember you once said that you liked to call me by my name the most, but I didn't reply at that time. Now, can I call you Zhao Zhao? "
Zhao Zhao.
Zhao Zhao Mu Mu.
Ming Zhao was hit by these tender words and was still in a daze.
"As for the engagement." He loosened his arms around her, and said in a flat tone, "Even if the Water God didn't mention it, I would have mentioned it. The sooner it's resolved, the sooner there's one less worry."
"But Jin Mi is your legitimate fiancée, and Xufeng repeatedly disregarded your face and snatched her away, and even spiritual cultivation with her on the eve of your wedding. Has Your Majesty forgotten this kind of humiliation? " Speaking of this, Ming Zhao couldn't wait to rush to the Flower Realm and slap that Phoenix to death. "The wedding in the Heaven Realm, Days Later, but Lin Luoran wasn't there. How did the Six Realms boil over? During the Heavenly Demon War, Days Later, when Lin Luoran became a demon, how did the world criticize her? They were intimate and didn't care at all, but they didn't know that the prestige of the Heaven Realm had already been trampled! "
"Killing Bai Lu, throwing Undermoon, Yuan Ji, and the others into hell, I never regretted it. The Flower Realm repaid kindness with enmity, and the Demon Realm went back on their word, I had no fear of destroying them! I only hate that Xufeng and Jin Mi didn't repent in the end, and even said something about true love, ridiculous! "
Seeing that she was starting to get agitated again, Run Yu helplessly comforted her, "Everything in the past, because of fate, has vanished like smoke. What I did wasn't honorable, and I can't finish my selfish thoughts, and I don't want to think about it anymore. I've already compensated them with a Celestial Ruler, and I've also lost a lifetime, this debt is settled. "
"What did you do to deserve the word 'compensate'? They accused you of being disloyal and unrighteous, but I think those people are the worst. Back then, when your hands were stained with blood, no one dared to say a word. But what about you? After ruling the Heaven Realm for so many years, have you ever taken a life in vain? " Ming Zhao looked into his eyes, which had the brightest colors, and was the most beautiful place in her dreams. "In the past, Kuang Lu killed an immortal for His Majesty, and His Majesty took full responsibility in the edict, and even protected his entire family, causing them to become important ministers of the Heaven Realm. Please don't say things like you owe them anything, you never owed them anything, but they kept asking you without knowing it. "
It was obviously dark, the same darkness as the countless nights in the past, but he didn't feel lonely anymore.
Was it because she was here?
He didn't comment on what she said, and his previous ambiguous guess became clearer. Run Yu touched her hand, which was small and soft. It was hard to imagine that such a pair of hands could turn the world upside down and stubbornly go against Heaven.
Even if he hadn't done anything for her.
"You don't have to use honorifics with me, Zhao Zhao, you don't want me to call you Venerable, do you?" He put her hands together with both of his hands, and his tone became softer. "Actually, this kind of intimate address should wait until I completely cancel the engagement … Zhao Zhao, will you blame me for being frivolous?"
Ming Zhao was a little confused by his words, which seemed to be a confession. "No."
Was it her illusion? His Majesty was so gentle to her.
She had only seen him be this gentle to that little loach, and … Jin Mi.
Jin Mi.
She suddenly calmed down.
Even if she was born evil, how could her loyalty to His Majesty be mixed with other things?
She warned herself not to have any wild thoughts and not to ask for anything in return.
If Kuang Lu could do it, she could do it too.
If she relied on the small things she did for His Majesty and lightly asked for his love, how shameless would that be?
He was originally gentle to the bone. If not, other people wouldn't have hurt him again and again, and Jin Mi wouldn't have acted recklessly just because he liked her.
His happiness was Jin Mi.
He longed for her but couldn't get her.
She had always refused to admit this in the reincarnation, so every step she took was wrong.
But in this life, she had to abide by herself and give her blessings to His Majesty.
"Please … Your Majesty, don't worry, Ming Zhao knows what to do and won't make things difficult for you."
The little girl shrank back into her shell.
Run Yu sighed in the bottom of his heart. In fact, through those reincarnations, he had also found some clues. Many times, he seemed to be looking at another version of himself through the memories.
Not good with words, paranoid, self-abased, and suppressed contradictions.
But clumsily and sincerely, she gave him everything she had.
He asked himself if he had ever truly been completely unreserved with anyone, and no one had ever treated him like this.
Only except —
He held her hands together, and his tone was solemn, as if he was making an oath.
