The woman in the painting was his Queen Qin. She was dressed in purple, elegant, smart, fresh and pretty. Her eyes were as bright as stars, naughty and cute, attracting him like a deep pool, making his heart tremble inexplicably.
.
How could he hang a portrait of the queen in such a place where you can see it with your eyes? Looking at the place where the pen was written, his name "Yao" was clearly written on it, and it was also stamped with his seal.
This painting was made by his own hands. How could he paint a portrait of a woman he didn't love?
He has met his queen, and there is really no feeling of love.
He took out a piece of white silk cloth from his arms and unfolded it on the table. There were sixteen words printed on the silk cloth——
"I have made a promise in my heart, and this life will not change; the heaven and the earth are proof, and the sun and the moon will last for a period of time."
…
"I have made a promise in my heart, and this life will not change; the heaven and the earth are proof, and the sun and the moon will last for a period of time."
When he walked out of the ancient tomb, Emperor Zhuyao suddenly saw sixteen characters written in blood on the wall of the stone gate.
It has been a long time, and the handwriting has begun to blur, and some of it has peeled off. Only two points can be seen where the name was written.
These sixteen words were like the narration of an affectionate woman, each word striking the heart. He raised his hand and touched them, his heart palpitated, and his expression suddenly became profound.
"Your Majesty, this is... written by me. I wrote it with my own blood when I entered the ancient tomb. Xuening's feelings for the Emperor will remain unchanged in this life, as evidenced by the heaven and earth, and the duration of the sun and the moon." Lu Xuening said quickly.
The place where the name is placed has been blown out of sight by the wind and sun, so Emperor Zhuyao would not know that it was written by Tassel.
This may be God's will. Heaven is not willing to help Liusu, so it is God's permission for her, Lu Xuening, to steal his love with a knife, she said to herself.
In fact, Lu Xuening was stunned when she saw these sixteen words. She did not expect that Liusu had come before. So, did Emperor Zhuyao feel the inexplicable severe angina two years ago when he felt Liusu's arrival?
?When he said so many words to the wall that day, was Liusu really outside the stone door?
"You wrote it?"
"Yes, it was written by me. Before entering the ancient tomb, I bit off my finger to express my feelings for the emperor... and wrote it in blood."
"Then take it back."
Emperor Zhuyao broke off the branches, wetted the sixteen characters with his bare hands, then tore off a corner of his white robe and stuck it on it. The sixteen characters were printed on the silk cloth, which was a little blurry, but could be seen clearly.
.
Lu Xuening stood aside and watched Emperor Zhuyao's actions, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
…
…
"Princess Changle has arrived!"
At this moment, the announcement came from outside the imperial study room.
Emperor Zhuyao withdrew his eyes from Liusu's portrait and looked towards the door happily, only to see a half-grown girl wearing a white cigarette shirt walking in. The tear mole in the corner of her eye revealed her fairy-like temperament.
It makes it even more outstanding.
She is the kind of little girl who will be remembered deeply in your heart just by looking at her.
His daughter has grown up and is already over ten years old. She is so beautiful, but he failed to participate in her growth.
An extremely guilty feeling came over him. As a father, he had failed in his duty.
When Xiao Qiluo saw the familiar tall figure of Emperor Zhuyao, crystal tears flowed down her pink and white cheeks.
"Father..." she called out with a choked voice.
Emperor Zhuyao walked over, bent down, and looked at Qiluo——
"Xiao Changle..." His voice was trembling.
"Father...Father..." Qiluo threw herself into his arms, hugged his neck, tears streaming down his dragon robe, "Father, I miss you so much, I really miss you so much.
.”
"Father misses you too, little baby. Father will never leave you again and will always be with you in the days to come."
Emperor Zhuyao stroked Xiao Qiluo's head lovingly.
"What about my mother? My father will never leave my mother, right? My mother has had a hard time waiting for you." Xiao Qiluo raised her head from Emperor Zhu Yao's arms and looked at Emperor Zhu Yao with tears in her eyes, "
My fourth uncle died in order to save my mother. He died so miserably that my mother was so sad and guilty. She even went to war with my thirteenth uncle to save the people... My mother has really worked hard these past three years...
Father..."
Talking about every little thing about Liusu, Xiao Qiluo felt sad in her heart and shed more tears. When talking about Zhu Minglie's death, she was even more heartbroken.
Her uncle, she broke his heart and he died before she could make up for it. This was the biggest punishment he gave her.
After Emperor Zhuyao heard this, his eyes suddenly froze, his heart ached, and there was an expression of disbelief on his face——
"Your fourth uncle is dead?"
After he came back, he was anxious to see his daughter and had not yet asked about the affairs of the court.
But suddenly he heard the sad news of his brother’s death from his daughter’s mouth!
"Well, the second emperor's grandfather used a poisonous hidden weapon to kill my mother, but the fourth uncle blocked the hidden weapon for my mother. The fourth uncle died in my mother's arms. Father, my fourth uncle's death was so pitiful and pitiful. My mother cried.
So sad, so sad...Father...can you find a way to save my fourth uncle? Otherwise, my mother will be sad for the rest of her life."
Xiao Qiluo lay in Emperor Zhuyao's arms, crying and begging, "Besides, I don't want my fourth uncle to die, I want my fourth uncle..."
Emperor Zhuyao listened to Qiluo's words, and a hint of emotion flashed through his mirror-like eyes. He held Qiluo's hand and said, "Father, go find your mother, and you can go and play by yourself first.
"
"Um."
Qiluo nodded.
Zhu Bugui hid outside the hall, exposed his little head and looked at the majestic man in a bright yellow dragon robe in the hall, and blinked——
"This man is my father? How come he looks exactly like me? Huh." He curled his lips, feeling both a sense of admiration and an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
…
Emperor Zhuyao left the imperial study with a solemn expression, and Lu Xuening happened to come over carrying pastries made by himself.
"Your Majesty...are you going to see the Queen?"
She bent down and saluted.
Emperor Zhuyao glanced at her and nodded.
"I'll go too, okay? I made some fresh pastries and I just want to send them to Sister Queen."
Lu Xuening requested.
…
"Hiss, it hurts, Xingbai, please be gentle..."
Liusu retracted his hand and begged for mercy.
While Xingbai was applying medicine for her, she looked at Liusu's bloody wrists and couldn't help but shed tears——
"Why are you like this, Your Majesty? Didn't you see that you were injured? You didn't come over to take a look. We haven't seen each other for three years, shouldn't we be as close as each other?"
"he……"
"The Emperor has arrived..."
Just as he was talking, an announcement came from outside the door.
"Quick, quick, quick, put it away..."
After hearing this, Liusu quickly took off his sleeves to cover the injured area, and asked Xingbai to hide the wound ointment and medicinal wine.
As soon as it was done, Emperor Zhuyao and Lu Xuening walked in together.
Liusu stood up and looked at the two people who walked in.
Her heart suddenly hit the bottom. She had never imagined such a scene, her husband walking to her place with another woman.
This picture is so dazzling and heartbreaking.
"Xue Ning has met the Queen."
Liusu ignored Lu Xuening and just looked at Emperor Zhuyao.
Emperor Zhuyao stood quietly without saying a word. The man in front of him was still as handsome, tall and straight as ever, and his stern eyes were no different from those three years ago. Liusu was absolutely certain that this man was absolutely It's not someone else's fake disguise. No one is more familiar with Zhu Yao's eyes, Zhu Yao's eyebrows... Zhu Yao's charm... than she is.
However, the indifference and alienation he exuded when facing her was not fake.
"come over!"
He looked at her and suddenly spoke.
Liusu stood still, biting her lower lip. He suddenly appeared and called her over again. What was his intention?
"I asked you to come over."
Seeing that she didn't move, Emperor Zhuyao ordered again.
There was no gentleness in his tone, only cold orders, just like... like he was ordering a slave.
"Just tell me what you have to say."
Liusu turned around, facing away from him, and said.
Emperor Zhuyao's eyes were half-squinted, "Has my queen always been so bold? She didn't kneel down when she saw me?!"
After hearing this, the slaves in the Wenhua Hall immediately opened their mouths and looked at each other in confusion.
No one believed that the emperor would speak to the queen in such a tone and attitude.
Isn’t it true that the Emperor is always obedient and doting on the Queen?
Why did he become so... so stiff when he came back this time?
Behind him, Lu Xuening's eyes revealed the message that he was finally relieved.
Xingbai quietly approached Liusu and whispered, "Queen, is this the emperor?"
Liusu said: "That's true!"
He actually asked her to kneel down! He actually asked her to kneel down?! Or in front of Lu Xuening.
Haha, in the past, even if she bent over to him, he wouldn't allow her. He said that she was not a queen, but just a wife, his only wife, and she was not allowed to show any courtesy. But this time, he called her in front of so many people. kneel!
Her heart really hurt so much. Wave after wave of blows hit her, and she could hardly bear it.
Xingbai was stunned for a moment...
"emperor……"
Emperor Zhuyao's sharp and majestic eyes glanced at him, and Xingbai was so frightened that he shut his mouth.
Liusu grabbed Xingbai and led her to slowly bend her knees. She knelt down in front of Emperor Zhuyao with a plop and said word by word: "I didn't know that the emperor was coming back. I cannot escape the blame for neglecting the emperor. Please punish me!"
Xingbai was extremely surprised: "Queen, you..."
"Your Majesty, if you ask me to kneel, I will kneel!"
This kneeling pained her to the bone.
The whole world was moved by the kneeling, and from then on there was a barrier between the two of them.
Emperor Zhuyao looked down coldly at the person kneeling on the ground. His fringed neck was graceful, and his fair skin had a sickly pale color, making people feel pity for no reason... Emperor Zhuyao frowned and covered his face. The indescribable emotion in my heart, the tone was solemn:
"Tell me everything about Lao Si's death from beginning to end."
Liusu's body swayed slightly, Xingbai supported her, eyes widened: "Your Majesty, why are you so harsh to the Queen? The Queen's body just..."
Liusu grabbed Xingbai and organized her to continue, "Xingbai, get down."
Xingbai bit her lower lip and had no choice but to leave.
"You go down too."
Emperor Zhuyao said to Lu Xuening, who was standing beside him.
Lu Xuening was stunned, put the pastry in her hand on the table, and said, "Sister Queen, this is the pastry Xuening specially made for you."
With that said, he turned around and walked out.
When she walked out of the door, she looked back and saw Liusu still kneeling on the ground, with Emperor Zhuyao clasping his hands behind his back.
The deep affection between them, the feeling of staying together and flying together, is indeed completely gone.
"Say it."
Emperor Zhuyao looked at Liusu and said.
"Don't the Emperor already know? What else do you want me to say?" Liusu said coldly.
Forget it, the love is gone, stop dreaming, accept the fact that you have been abandoned, Liusu.
Emperor Zhuyao was slightly startled.
"How did you pull off your honey trap?"
"That's how it's done, like a honey trap."
Emperor Zhuyao's words were like a sharp knife piercing Liusu's heart.
However, when she spoke, she seemed so unconcerned.
"The fourth child loves you deeply."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"The fourth child is thoughtful and ruthless, but he only falls for you."
"That's right."
"He blocked the way for you and died tragically under Zhulang's knife."
"I owe him all my life, and I will remember him all my life. Even if you don't change your mind, I will not be with you!" Liusu suddenly raised his head and said excitedly, "So, it's not that you abandoned me.
But, I originally planned not to let you go!"
After hearing this, Emperor Zhuyao suddenly stretched out his hands, and Liusu fell into his arms——
His embrace was still generous, warm, and intoxicating, but... But this embrace no longer belonged to her alone. He had another woman, and that woman was pregnant with his child.
Suddenly, a nauseating feeling came over my heart——
