Chapter 37 Thirty-seventh Proclaimed Emperor

Jiang Chenyu grabbed the reins tightly, ignoring the wind that blows her hair away, her long hair fell loose and flew around.She just waved the whip with red eyes, urging the white horse to speed up, some tears flowed out with the bumps, and were quickly dried by the wind. Her riding skills are actually not very good, but at the moment she is extremely calm on the horse, even Zhu Long who is following her is a little surprised. After about a cup of tea, the palace gate arrived. The guards in front of the door were about to stop him, but Jiang Chenyu swung his whip down: "A servant with no eyesight, can't even Aijia recognize you?"

The guard turned pale with shock, and quickly knelt down to salute. Jiang Chenyu turned over and got off the horse, and said sternly as she quickly walked in the door: "Everyone kneel down! Kneel where you are and don't move!" Several guards who originally wanted to turn around and leave secretly were frightened and knelt down with a "plop". "Those who dare to act presumptuously, beheaded! Those who tip off the news, beheaded! Those who dare to sound a warning, beheaded!" She has a gentle nature, and rarely has such a severe moment, so she said the word "beheaded" three times in a row , All the people who knelt down felt the chill and rushed towards them.

Jiang Chenyu ignored the servants who were kneeling on the ground, and strode forward.Luo Heng hurried over after hearing the news, and just called out to his mother, Gulu was frightened by her whip and knelt down. "I'll say it again—" Jiang Chenyu looked around the crowd with cold eyes, and said word by word, "Except for Zhu Long, anyone who dares to act presumptuously, beheaded! Anyone who tipped off the news, beheaded! Anyone who dared to sound a warning, cut!" Seeing that even Luo Heng, the most powerful man in the palace, had knelt down, everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe out, their whole body trembled, and they looked down at their noses, noses, and hearts.

Jiang Chenyu walked quickly all the way to Jianing Palace. The two maids in front of the palace saw her and just wanted to speak when she swished a whip and whipped it on the open space beside them. Jiang Chenyu flew up and pushed the door of the palace open. Inside, Jiang Huayue was covering Xinye with a quilt. Hearing the voice, she raised her head. When she saw her, her expression paled, but she soon revealed a smile and said, "Sister ...Why are you here at this time?" Jiang Chenyu walked in with a sullen face, looked around at the other palace people in the room, and said coldly: "You all stand back and kneel outside, and you are not allowed to come in without my order."

The palace people hurriedly went to see Jiang Huayue, Jiang Chenyu frowned, and called out: "Zhu Long." Zhu Long immediately stepped forward, one in each hand, and threw them out of the palace with two "swish" sounds.Seeing this situation, the others dared not hesitate any longer, and fled one after another.Only the nanny was still hesitating in picking up Xinye.Jiang Chenyu immediately turned her cold gaze to her: "You go out too." "Yes..." The nanny walked out tremblingly holding Xinye in her arms.When passing by her side, Jiang Chenyu suddenly stopped her hand: "Put down the prince."

"What, what?" The nanny was still in shock, Zhu Long had already pulled Xin Ye from her arms, the movement was quick and gentle, and Xin Ye who was sleeping soundly did not wake up. "Give me back the child!" Jiang Huayue became anxious immediately, and rushed forward to stop her, but Jiang Chenyu grabbed her arm and said, "Get out." Zhu Long hugged Xin Ye with one hand, grabbed the nanny with the other, dragged her out of the palace forcefully, followed by a "squeak", and the palace door was closed heavily. Jiang Huayue struggled and screamed: "Give me back the child! What do you want to do? You are so brave, you dare to do anything to the prince!"

Jiang Chenyu suddenly let go of her hand, Jiang Huayue didn't have time to hold back her strength, she rushed forward and fell to the ground, and when she looked back at her, there was a lot of fear in her eyes: "Chen Yu! What are you going to do? What are you going to do?" What are you doing!" "What am I doing?" Jiang Chenyu's white face showed no expression at all, looking at her most cherished and upheld sister, her heart was cold, "I want to ask my sister instead, what do you want to do?" "What, what?" Jiang Huayue's guilty conscience flashed, but she still insisted, "I, I don't know what you are talking about! What are you going crazy at night, give me Xinye back..."

"My sister also knows that it's a big night, with a dark moon and a high wind, it's suitable for going crazy, and it's more suitable for killing people, doesn't it?" Jiang Huayue continued to play dumb: "I'm not going to be bored with you, I'm going to find Xinye..." Then she walked towards the door. Jiang Chenyu said coldly: "You should not be looking for Xinye at this time, but Zhang Dadong, Lu Xiaozhou, Jia Xiaojiu, right?" Jiang Huayue trembled and stopped. "Oh, no, these are just Xiao Lala, maybe you haven't heard of them, then you must know the following two names - Luo Yuhai and Xiao Qing."

Every time Jiang Chenyu said a name, Jiang Huayue's eyelids twitched, and her fingers trembled involuntarily. Seeing her reaction, Jiang Chenyu was even more disappointed in her heart, and after the disappointment, she was deeply saddened.A crack opened somewhere deep inside, and blood began to drip dripping down.But she could only hold on stiffly, she couldn't cry out the pain, and couldn't treat her. "Why?" Jiang Chenyu said, every word seemed to be soaked in blood, "Why did you treat me like this? Sister?" Jiang Huayue stood motionless, and after a long silence, she began to sneer: "Why? What do you say?"

"I don't understand, that's why I'm asking you! I'm ready to make Xinye the throne, he will soon be the emperor of Bi Kingdom, and you, his biological mother, will share this glory with me..." "Very good, you finally got to the crux of the matter." Jiang Huayue interrupted her, once her charming eyebrows and eyes were darkened, they appeared unspeakably cruel, "The truth is——I don't want to share it with you at all. Or—why do you share it with me?" "elder sister……" "Don't call me that!" Jiang Huayue bit her lip and sneered, "Every time I hear you call me so softly and intimately, I feel sick! I've been sick of you for a long time, Jiang Chenyu !"

Jiang Chenyu's eyelashes twitched, and a fact began to emerge—Huayue, she knew... "I'm not your sister at all! Am I? You already knew this!" Jiang Huayue finally said this. As a result, the events that were still hazy in Jiang Chenyu's mind instantly became clear, and they were juxtaposed in an orderly manner one by one, which could be clearly seen. She tried her best to suppress the mixed feelings in her heart, and asked, "How did you know? Du Juan told you?" After much deliberation, only Du Juan would reveal the news to her.Du Juan was indeed lying at the time. She really had other plans for staying in the imperial capital. Since she wants to avenge her adoptive parents, she will never let the Jiang family go. And when the overall situation is settled, the only way to get revenge on the Jiang family Only - painting the moon. Yes, she told Huayue the truth.As a result, Huayue collapsed, and as soon as she was instigated by others, she did such stupid things. So stupid, so stupid, so stupid! Jiang Chenyu's body began to tremble due to disappointment and anger. Jiang Huayue, who was on the side, obviously misunderstood her reaction, and said bitterly: "It doesn't matter who told me! What matters is - so many years, so many years! What is my whole life? You tell me, What the hell is that? I said why I was the least favored among the three brothers and sisters! I said why I had to enter the palace! I said why I couldn’t conceive after entering the palace. I took the medicine! I want me to be infertile for life! Is Jiang Zhong still a human? Tell me, is he a human?" Jiang Chenyu was so heartbroken that she couldn't speak for a while, but Jiang Huayue took her as a default, and smiled even more sadly: "But God has eyes, let me Huayue still have some strength in such various frame-ups." I got a dragon species! Hahaha, wahahaha, wahahahaha...Jiang Zhong's old fox has been miscalculating all his life, and he miscalculated the most! And what he miscalculated the most is that I was blessed with a great life, and I did not die of dystocia, but gave birth smoothly Get off the prince!" Jiang Chenyu recalled the day when Huayue finally gave birth to Xinye safely, when he went in to see her, she hugged herself and cried and said sorry, at that time, she really thought that all the hardships were over, that the sisters could reconcile as before, really thought From now on, the sun will rise and the clouds will bloom, and there will be no knots... How naive. How naive I am... Looking at her, Jiang Huayue's expression suddenly changed, from sadness to meanness: "Jiang Chenyu, do you think that I will be grateful to you if you let Xin Ye become the throne? It's ridiculous, isn't this a matter of course? Xin Ye , but the emperor's only bloodline, the emperor is dead, should he be on the throne, right? And you, a woman who doesn't even have a physical relationship with the emperor, why should I be equal to me? You made the emperor look like a human being The appearance of a ghost is not enough. You have held the emperor to command the princes for so many years, which is enough. Do you still want to occupy that position until you are the youngest?" "So you killed the emperor, and then you want to kill me?" Jiang Chenyu asked softly. There was a guilty conscience in Jiang Huayue's eyes for a moment, but it soon turned cold again: "Yes. Anyway, the emperor is already like that, it's better to let him go early. I can be considered worthy of him as a couple. " Jiang Chenyu's voice was even more depressed: "Then what about me? Are you worthy of me? No matter how much the Jiang family is sorry for you, ask yourself, how do I, Jiang Chenyu, treat you?" Jiang Huayue looked at her fixedly, then shook her head: "Jiang Chenyu, Jiang Chenyu, it seems that you still don't know what you did wrong... Oh no, it should be said that you are always so Innocent, always a good person, only others are sorry for you, and you are not the one who is sorry for others... How ridiculous! You know best what you have done yourself. Don't say anything else, just you and that woman Xihe united to give The emperor's poisoning is enough to cut you into pieces!" Jiang Chenyu involuntarily took a small step back. Jiang Huayue's facial features began to distort, full of resentment: "You poisoned the emperor for the sake of Ji Ying, a man who doesn't love you. As a subject, you are unforgivably guilty! For another man, you actually poisoned yourself! Your husband poisoned you. As a wife, you should soak in a pig cage! You killed your brother-in-law for an outsider. As a younger sister, what face do you have to see me? You keep saying that you are not sorry for me! You killed my husband , It is tantamount to ruining my life!" Jiang Chenyu took another step back. "Look, tsk tsk, what an innocent expression, do you know that? Whenever I see your expression like this, I feel sick, I'm so sick, I want to vomit!" Jiang Huayue said, making a gesture of vomiting look. Jiang Chenyu tremblingly said: "So, are you joining forces with outsiders to kill me?" "Outsider? What outsider? If you mean no blood relationship, aren't you also an outsider? Jiang Chenyu." Jiang Huayue deliberately called the word Jiang very strongly, her voice full of sarcasm. "So, may I ask, after I die, how do you clean up the mess?" Jiang Huayue was stunned for a moment, then she showed her stubbornness, and said loudly, "What's the endgame? You died, of course it's to support Xinye as emperor..." Jiang Chenyu's voice overwhelmed her all of a sudden: "Then you will be promoted to be the empress dowager in charge of the court, handle state affairs, and return the power to him when Xinye grows up and is able to take charge of his own affairs—do you think it will happen?" Is that so?" "What do you mean?" Jiang Huayue stared at her warily. This time it was Jiang Chenyu's turn to laugh mockingly. "why are you laughing?" Jiang Chenyu laughed again. "What are you laughing at?" Jiang Huayue was angry. "I laugh—you sure are a stupid woman. And, I have to say, the dumbest I've ever seen." "What did you say?" Jiang Huayue was so angry that she rushed over and wanted to hit her, but with Jiang Chenyu's slight flash, she missed and fell to the ground. Jiang Chenyu just looked at her condescendingly, with a faint expression, but it had the power to hurt people more than any contempt or ridicule: "Do you think that the affairs in the palace are as simple as your family affairs? Beat and scold a few servants to discipline you!" With just one click, you can make them obedient and follow your orders? Do you think that Luo Yuhai and Xiao Qing are just like that for you, as long as you promise them prosperity and wealth, they will become your dogs? Do you think that a woman , you have to take care of your children and deal with state affairs, can you cover everything?" Before she finished speaking, Jiang Huayue shouted: "Jiang Chenyu, don't look down on me, if you can do it, so can I!" "I have Xue Cai. Do you have one?" Jiang Chenyu said coolly, which shocked Jiang Huayue, "You don't really think that people like Luo Yuhai and Xiao Qing can be compared with Xue Cai, do you? Xue Cai is the new owner of Bai Ze, and you should be very clear about what Bai Ze means in the country of Bi." Jiang Huayue snorted, and said after a long time: "Do you think that Xue Cai is going towards you like that? If I let his aunt out of the limbo, even if he won't help me, at least he won't be my enemy." "Okay, let's take it like this. But I still have the backing of the entire Jiang family, do you have one?" "you!" "I have Xue Cai in literature, Pan Fang in martial arts, the entire Jiang family above the ruling and opposition parties, and Jiang Wanyi outside of the ruling and opposition parties. Do you have all of these?" "You! What's so great about these, I can buy them slowly!" "I still have friendship with King Yi and King Yan, do you have any?" "you……" "The last point——" Jiang Chenyu took a step towards her, stared into her eyes without blinking, and said coldly, "All the people you sent to kill me are dead. But I am standing here perfectly fine , ordered all the people in the palace to kneel down for me, not allowed to get up without an order, and took away your son, the future emperor of Bi Kingdom—this is the gap between you and me." "You!" Jiang Huayue screamed and rushed over again. This time, Jiang Chenyu didn't dodge, but instead grabbed her arm with his backhand and hugged her tightly. Although Jiang Chenyu has never learned martial arts, her trip to Chengguo made her have precise eyesight and sharp sense of touch. How can someone like Jiang Huayue who has lived in the deep palace for a long time be comparable to Jiang Chenyu? , Jiang Huayue was unable to move. "Let me tell you what will happen if I die." Jiang Chenyu leaned close to her, keeping a distance where he could sense each other's breathing, and said slowly with an extremely firm voice, "The thing is: I die. Yes. Xinye will indeed become the emperor of the Bi Kingdom, and you will indeed be promoted to the empress dowager, but you two are orphans and widows. Your order. And the Luo and Xiao two you rely on will use this to blackmail you for a higher official position and more power. Imprisonment, and then, do whatever they want in your name. They will compete with other courtiers for power. If you win, you will be their puppet. If you lose, even you and Xinye will become funeral objects, and the world will be in chaos... ..." "You, you, you..." Jiang Huayue hissed, "You're talking nonsense!" "Am I talking nonsense, you know it in your heart!" Jiang Chenyu pushed hard, and Jiang Huayue fell to the ground again.Jiang Chenyu looked at her who was in a state of distress on the ground, and remembered that she had fought with her father to protect the adult or the child; she remembered how desperate she was but hugged her tenderly before going to Chengguo; she remembered everything about her girlhood... ...It seems like a lifetime away. "What do you think of the world? What do you think of this peaceful and prosperous world that has come so hard? Even... What do you think of Xinye? You actually want to put him in such a dangerous situation for your own selfishness Let Luo, Xiao and other thieves control his future and make him the laughing stock of the Four Kingdoms! Jiang Huayue, are you a pig? No, even pigs are smarter than you, you have no brains at all! And like you It is a shame to me that such a ignorant, immoral, shameless, and hopeless person dares to fight with me!" When the last sentence was uttered, Jiang Chenyu burst into tears, but she didn't know Is it for himself, for Xinye, or for Jiang Huayue, or even for... this map Bi Jiangshan. She took a deep breath and stepped forward to open the palace door. The night wind rushed over immediately, and Jiang Chenyu stood quietly at the threshold, looking at the court ladies, eunuchs, eunuchs and guards who were still kneeling outside motionless, with icy eyes, and slowly said: "The mourning family Yi decree ——Jiang Guiren has a lack of virtue and is not qualified to educate the prince. From now on, the prince will be taken care of by the Ai family. Without the permission of the Ai family, Jiang Guiren is not allowed to see the prince privately, and she is not allowed to go out of the house!" "Abiding by the order—" "Abiding by the order—" "Abiding by the order—" The submissive voices were transmitted one by one, accompanied by Jiang Huayue's panicked screams in the hall, which strangely overlapped with Jiang Chenyu's previous dream... I dreamed that many court ladies and eunuchs rushed into the Jianing Palace and forcibly took Xinye away, saying that they were going to be handed over to the queen—that is, to be raised by me.The older sister fell to the ground, cried and crawled forward, trying to get her baby back, but to no avail.Then, she went crazy, locked in the fence, her hair was disheveled, and she shouted with blood and tears on her face: "Give me back the child, give me back the child..." The destiny... cannot be violated. At this moment, the fear of fate suddenly rose in Jiang Chenyu's heart. Many things, no matter how unwilling, unwilling, or even reluctant you are, will still be pushed to the brink step by step, forcing you to resist, give up, harden your heart, and become another one person. A man who is utterly ruthless, but ultimately successful. Jiang Chenyu ignored Jiang Huayue's wailing, and returned to Enpei Palace with a serious expression as if he was looking at death, and then said to the palace people inside: "You all go out." The palace people withdrew one after another. Huai Jin glanced at her before leaving, as if she wanted to justify something, but after seeing her expression, she chose to remain silent, and went out obediently with her head down. The heavy palace door was slowly closed. Lights shone from all directions, illuminating the entire room without a blind spot.And Jiang Chenyu was bathed in the light as bright as day, stood quietly for a while, then walked to a vase, grabbed it, and threw it viciously at the wall—— "Kang lang—" The vase shattered in response. She went to another vase, picked it up, and tossed it; picked it up, tossed it; picked it up... clang clang clang clang... After a while, broken porcelain was everywhere on the ground.But she still didn't give up, rushed over and pulled the curtain, tearing it open forcefully. chi chi chi... not enough!not enough!These are not enough! These voices can't offset the pain in her heart at all!What else?What else? Jiang Chenyu looked around, threw everything that could be dropped, tore up everything that could be torn, and destroyed everything that could be destroyed, smashing until there was nothing to smash, tearing until there was nothing to tear, and destroying the room until it was a mess, Unable to bear it any longer, she fell to the ground and cried bitterly. Obviously everything will be fine! Obviously could have been very happy! She even gave up her future and prepared to put all her heart and soul into Xinye, guarding him, guarding Tubi Jiangshan, and living with her sister loving each other like this... Why do you want to force her? Why should she personally smash her best dream in front of her eyes, let her see the naked, bloody facts, every detail is permeated with ugliness and filth! Why? why why? why why why? Xue Cai's words resurfaced at this moment, and she finally understood why he stopped her, and then said to her: "If something happens in the future, you only need to remember what you said tonight." He was giving her medicine in advance so that she could resist a little bit when the pain hit, but he didn't know that the medicine was useless at all, and she was still in pain that pierced her heart, her heart was broken, and she couldn't wait for the pain A thousand times, ten thousand times, just die like this! Because it was too painful, a thought popped up suddenly, and he asked gently: "Can I forgive Huayue one more time?" Forgive me again, and then, everything can go on according to the blueprint of the original design—— Shinno is still the emperor. She and Huayue are still queen mothers. The world is peaceful, the courtiers are docile, and everything goes smoothly. ——As long as she is willing to forget what happened tonight, forgive Huayue one more time. Jiang Chenyu began to crawl forward, using his arms to drag his stiff body forward a little bit, over the ground full of debris, ignoring his blood dripping. If it's so painful, wouldn't it be good to forgive Huayue? Forgive her, don't resent her for wanting to kill herself, don't care about her being so selfish, don't mind her being so stupid... Forgive her! Jiang Chenyu let out a scream, her eye sockets could no longer bear the tight pressure, and began to cry loudly. Crying so hard I wanted to spit my heart out. I cried so much that I wanted to spray all my blood dry. Crying like exhausting the sorrow of ten lifetimes, without restraint. And just as she was crying in such grief, the palace door opened gently, and a person appeared at the door wearing a light. Jiang Chenyu didn't look up, nor did he stop crying, and continued to wail. The man closed the palace door behind his back, then walked towards her step by step, very slowly, but calmly, and finally stopped in front of her. Jiang Chenyu saw his shoes, a small pair of white shoes with a totem embroidered on the toe, but it was not Bai Ze, but Phoenix.The golden phoenix and the bright red flame almost made her eyes burn. She raised her head laboriously, vigorously, and feebly. At the entrance of his eyes was Xue Cai's unusually gentle face: he looked at her with crystal clear tears in his eyes, and finally stretched out his hand to hold her head. "Proclaim yourself emperor." Xue Cai said so. Jiang Chenyu let out a long wail. "Only if you truly have the power to overwhelm everything else, can you create the happiness you want." Xue Cai said, tears slowly slipping out of his eyes, "Call yourself emperor." His tears dripped onto Jiang Chenyu's face, so Jiang Chenyu's crying stopped miraculously. The palace lantern swayed gently without wind, and for a moment, the Enpei Palace was full of light and shadow. One evening one month later, a carriage secretly drove out of the palace gate and entered a garden in the outskirts of Beijing. Half an hour later, another carriage also entered the garden. The people in the car bent down to get out of the car, and the person who greeted him with a lantern was still Huai Jin. "Your Majesty, please follow me." The same winding path, winding and stretching.The same honored guest in brocade robes and Chinese clothes silently followed.The sound of the same zither came from the elegant house, but the expression of the visitor suddenly became sad. Huai Jin led him to the door, bowed and said: "Your Majesty will send you here, Your Majesty, please go in by yourself." Even this sentence is exactly the same. The visitor sighed softly in his heart, pushed open the door, and walked in. This time, the sound of the qin did not stop, but the person who played the qin changed the place, no longer in the outer hall, but in the inner room. The screens of the inner room and the outer hall were also removed, only a layer of tulle hung down. Through the gauze curtain, Jiang Chenyu could be seen sitting inside and playing the piano with her head bowed, the sound of the piano became more and more moving. The visitor listened quietly, without saying a word, and only applauded gently when she finished playing a piece. Jiang Chenyu withdrew his hands, stared at the person who came, and said softly after a while: "You are still here, Your Majesty." "I'm still here." "I thought you weren't coming." He Yi lowered his head and smiled wryly: "I also thought I wouldn't come." After finishing speaking, he sat down at the table in the outer hall.There was a teapot on the table, so he picked up the cup and poured himself a cup. Unexpectedly, after pouring it out, he found that it was wine. He looked at Jiang Chenyu quite unexpectedly: "Is Han Yeke here for wine and tea?" "Maybe it's because 'but the owner can drink the guest, and I don't know where is the foreign land.'" "You want me drunk? Why?" "Because..." Jiang Chenyu's voice became depressed, "Maybe I will only say some things when I am drunk, and you will only listen to them when I am drunk." He Yi originally planned to drink, but upon hearing this, he put down his wine glass, stared at the shadow behind the gauze curtain for a long time, and then said: "Actually... I already know what you want to say." Jiang Chenyu whispered: "You don't know." "No, I know." He Yi raised his lips and laughed at himself, "Don't underestimate my connections in the imperial capital..." "So, what does His Majesty know?" "I know that your sister colluded with others and wanted to put you to death. But they are too naive. Just relying on their tricks of three-legged cats, they can't escape the eyes of Xue Cai's little fox. To force you to give up , in the face of reality, Xue Xiaohu deliberately stood still and let them do whatever they want, but he appeared at the most critical moment, making them fail, and letting you see everything clearly..." Now it was Jiang Chenyu's turn to laugh at himself: "I didn't find out what even His Majesty knew until they were about to kill me... It seems that I am really the most ill-informed person in Bi Kingdom." He Yi stared at her and softened his voice: "Xue Cai just wants to protect you. Although he is a big kid, sometimes he doesn't know what he wants and what he wants, but one thing is obvious - he is willing to help you You also have the ability to assist you. Countless people are really envious of you having such a prime minister, especially the one from the Yan Kingdom." Having said this, I couldn't help laughing. Jiang Chenyu didn't smile when she heard it, but turned her face away and looked down: "So, why does Your Highness think I invited you here today?" "Anyway, it won't be paying off the debt." He Yi thought for a while, picked up the glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp, "Good wine! It's spicy enough!" "Why does His Majesty think that I am not paying the debt?" He Yi poured another cup, raised his head to drink it up again, and said vaguely: "You are about to ascend the throne, no matter how ridiculous I am, I know that an emperor cannot pay back the debt of favor." Jiang Chenyu's voice became a little weird: "Then why is Your Majesty still here?" He Yi raised his head, stared blankly at a lamp above the gauze curtain, and murmured: "Who knows... Maybe, I'm just waiting for a miracle? I don't know... I, I... Hey, you still think I If you didn’t come, you’re not here either!” After saying that, he simply picked up the whole jug and poured it down his throat. Jiang Chenyu got up suddenly, walked over, and slowly opened the gauze curtain. He Yi's hand stopped in mid-air, the wine flowed from the spout of the teapot, deviated from his mouth, and dripped on his clothes—he was stunned. Because, what Jiang Chenyu was wearing was a red dress as thin as cicada's wings, her exquisite body was faintly visible under the light, her hair was completely loose, and it was draped softly on her shoulders, she was completely like a lady taking off her makeup. Afterwards, ready to sleep. The wine in the teapot drained, and then, with a "clang", it fell to the ground and rolled away. He Yi licked his dry lips: "You..." "When His Majesty left last time, he said that he would not meet you again unless he could give you back what you wanted. And since I have made an appointment with you again, why does Your Majesty think that I must be a renegades?" Jiang Chen Yu slowly walked in front of him, her eyes were picturesque, and when she was illuminated by the light, besides being beautiful, she became even more charming. "You..." However, He Yi seemed to have turned into a young man who had just begun to fall in love, and was at a loss for what to do when facing the girl he liked. "Your Majesty, what you want...is me?" Jiang Chenyu said, slowly untying her belt. But He Yi grabbed her hand all of a sudden, preventing her from continuing.The expression on his face changed again and again, and finally raised his head, looked directly at her and said, "Do you know what you are doing?" "Pay the debt." "You! I...you..." "Your Majesty, I am a person who doesn't like to owe other people's debts, but I really owe you too much... I want to pay you back, but you don't want to; if I give you Bi Kingdom, I will definitely not do that , fortunately... I still have myself." Jiang Chenyu Suli had a strange calmness on her face, but that calmness made He Yi's heart tremble. "Xiao Yu." "Xiao Yu." "Little Yu..." He yelled three times in a row, and then fell silent for a long time. In the silence, he slowly let go of Jiang Chenyu's hand, got up and walked to the window, pushed the closed window open, and the early winter night wind blew in, blowing away the warmth and beauty of the room. "You... are not your own." Gazing at the dark, starless night sky, He Yi said, "Xiao Yu, maybe you don't know what the emperor really means, so as someone who has experienced it, let me tell you—it means The whole world is yours, only you, not yours." Jiang Chenyu was startled. "So, I dare not accept this thank you gift, and I will not accept it. As I said before, just pretend that I am not here today and you are not here... In this way, at least when I think of today in the future, Don't regret it." Jiang Chenyu said sadly: "Don't you like me?" How much courage did she muster to achieve this?Put on a red dress that she has never worn before, meet a man, come to her boudoir, and dedicate herself as a gift. If it was said that when she confessed to Ji Ying back then, she was still a young girl; but today, she came to meet He Yi with the realization that she is a woman.However... He Yi, like Ji Ying, rejected her. "I don't like you?" He Yi turned around and looked at her, with a wry smile on his lips, and his eyes became softer, "Xiao Yu, let me tell you what happens when I don't like someone. I won't because I will be filled with joy when I read her letter, and I will not feel lost when I hear her news, and I will not be uneasy because I want to see her, and I will not be reluctant to say goodbye to her, and I will not let her take the initiative to send it to my door. When the time comes, you must control all your desires and use the last bit of sobriety to say—no." Jiang Chenyu's eyes became moist. "No. Xiao Yu, do you know how difficult it is for me to say these two words at this moment?" He Yi looked at the distance between her and himself, and smiled more bitterly, "Even, I dare not say it again." Get closer to you, I am afraid that if I get closer, I will not be able to restrain myself, and I will forget your identity and my own. There is a sentence that I have said twice. Now, let me say the third This time, and the last time... Tonight, I didn't come. And you, too, aren't here." A gust of wind came, and the gauze curtain fluttered, also blowing Jiang Chenyu's beautiful hair, and flew straight back. The space is instantly distanced, and time becomes static. She and him, standing at the two ends of the room, are only five or six steps away, but they are separated by a ditch of two countries. Jiang Chenyu closed his eyes. Then turned around, turned his back to He Yi and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, there are not only wine and qin here." "Ok?" "I've even set up a chess set." He Yi's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and then he smiled and said leisurely: "I play chess very well." "What a coincidence, me too." Jiang Chenyu smiled sweetly, opened her eyes and looked back, "Then, Your Majesty, the night is long, do you want to play a game of chess with Ayu?" The night is long. The two played chess quietly. Get rid of all mundane world. Give up all fetters and desires. Only the joy of meeting friends. Only the calmness of mountains and rivers. ——It was like the first meeting between him and her. "Although I know it's a delusion, but..." On the second day, when the morning light shone on the window paper, and the chess game finally came to an end, He Yi said quietly, "I still want to see if there will be another one in fate." A miracle—so, I will wait for you for three years. In three years, whenever you change your mind, you can come to me." "What idea?" "Put the interests of the world above yourself. That is to say—when you change your mind, it is when you no longer want to be an emperor." "What if I don't change my mind?" Although proclaiming the emperor is not her wish, since she has decided to proclaim the emperor, it is impossible to change the order overnight and give up halfway. "Then, I'm going to get married soon." He Yi said this with a smile. three years. Three years later, He Yi will be thirty years old. What kind of changes will happen in these three years, Jiang Chenyu doesn't know, but one thing is very clear - as the empress of the Bi Kingdom, all the men in the Bi Kingdom can become her, but He Yi will never be one of the Bi Kingdom. In the same way, as an emperor, He Yi can marry any woman in the world, except for her and Yi Shu who are both emperors. At this point, just like the game of chess on the table, it has come to a dead end. He Yi... He Yi... It turns out that you and I have no destiny in this life...
