At a quarter of noon, Ruo Shuiyue and Shang Yue, Chu Yue and the others had been sent by Xiahou Boxuan to the tea house on the official road outside the city, waiting for Xiahou Yexiu to send someone to take them to Nanyang.
Sitting in the tea room, looking at the buns on the table, Ruoshuiyue didn't have the slightest appetite. Too many things had happened in the past two days, and almost everything was beyond her ability to bear.
"Yue'er, you'd better eat something! You'll have to rush on your way later!" Seeing Ruoshuiyue's cold and sad eyes staring at the flying snowflakes outside, Xiahou Boxuan persuaded with some distress.
Looking back at Xiahou Boxuan, Ruoshuiyue shook her head and said calmly, "I'm not hungry, you can eat!"
Hearing this, Xiahou Boxuan's brows couldn't help but tighten. "Yue'er, don't be like this. Even if you are not hungry and don't care about yourself, you still have to take care of the child in your belly!" Xiahou Boxuan said and grabbed the hand.
A bun was forced into Ruoshuiyue's hand.
Holding the warm bun in her hand, Ruoshuiyue glanced at Xiahou Boxuan helplessly. "Okay! I understand!" After that, she slowly pulled the dough and put it into her mouth.
It wasn't until he saw Ruoshuiyue finishing the bun in his hand that Xiahou Boxuan's face showed a smile.
Looking at the bright smile on Xiahou Boxuan's face, Ruoshuiyue suddenly felt as if she was in another world. The former Ruoshuiyue was fascinated by his bright smile, and finally her whole heart fell on him.
It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people, but he...
"Yue'er, what are you thinking about when you look at me?" Seeing Ruoshuiyue staring at him with confused eyes, Xiahou Boxuan touched his face and asked her in confusion.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking, if our wedding had been successfully completed, would the final outcome have been different?" Ruoshuiyue twitched the corner of her mouth and said thoughtfully.
.
Obviously, Xiahou Boxuan did not expect that Ruoshuiyue would suddenly say this. He was stunned on the spot and did not recover for a long time.
Seeing this, Ruoshuiyue's beautiful face couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. "Don't worry too much. I just thought of it suddenly and just said it casually."
Slowly coming back to his senses, Xiahou Boxuan just glanced helplessly at Ruoshuiyue and then turned away, looking towards the snowflakes flying in the sky. She would not have known that even if they had successfully completed their wedding at that time
, then her ending will not change much either. The most that has changed is that the person she hates most will not be the imperial brother, but Xiahou Boxuan. After all, there was a grudge from the beginning.
It's already been decided.
Looking at Xiahou Boxuan's complicated and helpless expression, Ruoshuiyue immediately understood. Yes! Even if the wedding was really completed smoothly, the final outcome would not change! After all,
As long as the dragon talisman is in the hands of his father, Xiahou Yexiu will not be able to rest assured for a day, and Leng Zijunhao will never give up.
"By the way, Yue'er, can I ask you a question?" At this time, Xiahou Boxuan suddenly turned around and asked Ruoshuiyue thoughtfully.
Raising her eyebrows, Ruoshuiyue looked at Xiahou Boxuan in confusion and nodded. "Ask!"
After looking at Ruoshuiyue, Xiahou Boxuan hesitated for a moment and finally asked. "You, when you come back this time, in addition to killing Ni Nuoer, do you also want to kill the emperor's brother?"
Hearing this, Ruoshuiyue was stunned. Yes, she came back this time to kill Ni Nuoer and Xiahou Yexiu. But...
"If I really kill him, will you hate me?" Without answering Xiahou Boxuan's words directly, Ruo Shuiyue asked him with a slight frown.
Looking at Ruoshuiyue, Xiahou Boxuan did not hesitate for a moment, nodded and replied firmly. "Yes, yes, I will hate you very much."
"Eh? Is he so important to you?"
"Yes, Brother Huang is very important to me, even more important than my life! Because in my heart he is not only my brother, but sometimes more like my father." When talking about Xiahou Yexiu, Xiahou
Boxuan's eyes were full of admiration and respect at this time.
"How about comparing it with the throne of the emperor of Nantuo Kingdom? Is he still important?" Although he said that Xiahou Yexiu was very important to him, Ruo Shuiyue still believed that once compared with the throne, then he, Xiahou Yexiu, would be more important to him.
It should be insignificant in my heart! After all, from ancient times to the present, once it is related to the throne, the most vulnerable thing is brotherhood.
Hearing this, Xiahou Boxuan looked at Ruoshuiyue and suddenly smiled bitterly. "Yue'er! Yue'er! It seems that you really don't understand me and the feelings of the three of us brothers!"
"Eh?" Ruoshuiyue was stunned and looked at Xiahou Boxuan with a puzzled face. What did he mean by this? Is Xiahou Yexiu really more important to him than the throne?
After sighing deeply, Xiahou Boxuan slowly spoke. "You don't know, although the emperor brother, me, and the three emperor brothers are all princes, our childhoods were even more miserable than those of slaves.
It can even be said that he is worse than a beast. Just because our father fell in love with a woman, in order to let his child with the beloved woman successfully ascend to the position of prince and no longer have to worry about it, he did not care about the relationship between flesh and blood.
He tortured and killed us in every possible way. There were originally eighteen of us brothers, and we were not much different in age. But in the end, except for his beloved son Xia Houchun, only my brother, the emperor, and the three emperors survived.
He managed to get rid of all the other brothers secretly. The reason why the Third Emperor Brother and I survived was all because the Emperor Brother risked his life to protect us like a hen protecting its chicks time and time again. He did not know what he had done for us.
How much pain and torture, but from beginning to end, he never gave up, let alone abandoned us. In other words, without the emperor brother, there would be no Third Emperor Brother and I. Although he is only our brother, he is also only our brother.
He is one or two years older than us, but since we were young, he has given us not only his life, but endless care and love. So let alone the throne, even if the emperor wants our lives, we will never even open our eyes.
Wink!"
Ruo Shuiyue was silent for a moment, but narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew that their childhood was very difficult, but she didn't expect that the relationship between the three Xiahou brothers would be so deep.
Seeing that Ruoshuiyue was silent, Xiahou Boxuan spoke again. "Although the emperor is the emperor, he has his own forces and has no choice! So Yue'er..."
"Xiahou Yexiu is not the only one in the world who has no choice but to do so!" Before Xiahou Boxuan finished speaking, Ruo Shuiyue had already anticipated what he would say next, so she hurriedly interrupted him.
"Yes, but who else in the world loves you as much as the emperor does?" If it hadn't been for that night, he would still have thought that the person who loved her most in the world was him, Xiahou Boxuan.
Hearing this, Ruoshuiyue sneered. "He loves me?"
"Yes! No matter before or now, Brother Huang always loves you! Even this time, Brother Huang nominally demoted you to Nanyang to have a child, but in fact it was to protect you.
If he really wanted to punish you, why bother sending you to Nanyang, a picturesque place with spring-like scenery all year round? He could just find a place to imprison you."
In fact, how could she not understand this? It’s just...
"No, he doesn't love me Ruo Shuiyue, but Leng Zi Canyue!" Taking a deep breath and looking at the flying snowflakes, Ruo Shuiyue said with a sad smile.
Seeing this, Xiahou Boxuan looked puzzled. "Aren't they all the same? Whether it's Ruo Shuiyue or Leng Zi Canyue, isn't it still you?"
"It's different. I am Ruo Shuiyue, not the real Leng Zi Canyue. In his heart, Leng Zi Canyue is a princess, a gentle and kind noble concubine. And I, Ruo Shuiyue, in his heart, am just a treasonous traitor who he can't wait to cut into pieces.
The daughter of a thief." She seemed to have already imagined how Leng Zi Canyue would treat her when she took off his veil.
"Yue'er, things are not what you think. In fact..."
Before Xiahou Boxuan could finish his words, Ruoshuiyue suddenly interrupted him. "To be honest, I don't want to kill him now, but I have to avenge the blood debt of hundreds of people in my Ruo family. Also,
I really can’t forget Heng’er’s tragic death today. So, I have nothing to do to get to this point. If I want to blame it, I can only blame fate!”
"That's what I said, Ke Yue'er, no matter what, the emperor brother is also the father of the child in your belly. If you really attack the emperor brother, how will you face your child in the future?" Jian Ruoshuiyue
Being too stubborn, Xiahou Boxuan could only use his children to persuade her.
As soon as the child was mentioned, Ruoshuiyue's eyes clearly flashed with a hint of haze. "Child? You don't have to worry about it, I have my own way!"
Hearing what Ruoshuiyue said, Xiahou Boxuan suddenly realized something. He couldn't help but his face darkened, and he asked Ruoshuiyue with some displeasure. "This, this child doesn't know how to do it. Isn't he the emperor's brother?" Ruoyue'er
If she really hated the emperor so much, how could she be so willing to give birth to his child?
