"I feel guilty, blame myself, and suffer, but I still long for love. People must live."
"You will never grow old, so you naturally have expectations. And the rest of my life is destined to be spent just remembering you." Shao Kefan sighed and gently took off his belt. On the bright white silk cloth, the unwashed blood stains were faintly visible.
He once used the phantom sword to force Jian Xin to speak, cut a shallow mark on her neck, and then bandaged her with a phantom-turned-belt.
After spitting out the word "change," the belt turned into a long sword, with the middle part of the sword turning slightly red. He flew into the pile of iron men, and with only a dozen swings, the remaining iron men turned into pieces of scrap metal.
"That's not the case." Shu Zhen stepped on the iron plate and walked up to him step by step, "I don't mind you missing her at all."
A sneer appeared on Shao Kefan's lips, and there was a trace of amusement in his eyes, "Don't forget, it's just an agreement between us, and don't forget how much beautiful jade you used from the palace. What you have to do is to give birth to the child well."
"I'm very afraid of old age. Without jade, I would be an old man dying, so I long for a true love." Shu Zhen said to himself, his foggy eyes flashing with a little joy.
Sentimental look.
Shao Kefan was startled, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, "You will not let yourself grow old. You will enjoy endless wealth in the palace. In the future, when I am old, you will still be so young and beautiful."
He shook his head and smiled, as if to comfort her, and as if he was lamenting that unlike her, he would inevitably grow old in the future.
"But now, beauty is no longer the most important thing to me."
"Shu Zhen, I can't love you anymore, and I don't want to love you anymore." Shao Kefan closed his eyes, "I'll come back after a while."
Shu Zhen wanted to say something else, but he had already used his invisibility technique and disappeared.
Her eyes regained a trace of softness and hope, and then returned to the dead silence of a tomb.
Su Man carefully walked to the center of the hall and collected the iron pieces that had been considered garbage.
It would take most of a day to clean up the fragments of ten iron men. She had never done such heavy work since she became a maid.
"Get out of the way." Shu Zhen ordered coldly.
"Yes, Queen." Su Man stepped aside, trembling, not knowing what she was going to do.
A burst of blazing Qi condensed in the palm of his hand, and he waved it casually towards the iron pile, and the flames shot straight to the top of the palace. After an instant of flash, there was only a pile of powder left on the ground.
Shu Zhen glanced at Su Man, who was trembling and with big beads of sweat on her forehead, and said, "Clean it up."
"Yes, Queen."
One year after their marriage, Shu Zhen gave birth to her first daughter, and Shao Kefan finally showed rare joy on his face, like warm sunshine shining on an iceberg.
"You choose the name!" She looked at the child's pink face, and there was a soft wave of motherly love in her dead eyes.
"Xinwei, I've thought about it a long time ago."
She was startled, "Wei, is this one of the women you have loved?"
"Yes, she is the first queen."
In Yiwei Hall, with the words "I love you", he personally dispersed her soul, and the butterflies and fireflies disappeared in an instant, just like an empty dream.
"Are you and her before Jian Xin?" Shu Zhen asked indifferently. She was not very interested in the two women and just wanted to confirm this fact.
"Yes." Shao Kefan took little Xinwei from her arms, and found that those big eyes looked familiar, covered with unnoticeable sentimentality.
He frowned and stared at that cute little face.
However, I realized that I was just overthinking and forcing my feelings on little Xinwei. Those young eyes were innocent, clear and pure, and had not yet been disturbed by the fireworks of the world.
"Xinwei, Jian Xin is ranked before her, which shows how much you love Jian Xin. Ha, Shao Kefan, you are really sorry for the first woman in your life!" Shu Zhen finally couldn't help but sarcastic, and his voice became more vicissitudes of life.
.
"What did you say?" Shao Kefan's eyes turned cold, murderous intent suddenly appeared, while Shu Zhen's eyes were blank and showed no fear.
"Wow." Xiao Xinwei was so frightened by her father that she burst into tears.
Shao Kefan suppressed the anger in his heart and did not comfort the child. He just tapped her mute point.
Xinwei's mouth was open, her eyes filled with tears were wide open, and she didn't know why she couldn't make a sound.
Shao Kefan looked at Shu Zhen, the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I'm sorry for her. It's just a matter of feelings. People can't make the decision on their own, just like..."
He leaned forward, his figure covering Queen Cangteng who was lying weakly on the bed, "It's like I don't love you."
Shu Zhen snorted coldly, turned away, and subconsciously pulled the quilt over his body, "Don't think I love you that much."
Shao Kefan smiled with a smile that could see through her thoughts, "As long as you still have some affection for me, you will lose."
Shu Zhen's chest heaved slightly with anger. If it hadn't been for the fact that Xin Wei was still very weak three days after giving birth, she would have attacked him without mercy.
She sat up, hugged Xinwei to her side, then lay down again, and whispered, "Get out."
Shao Kefan was not irritated this time. He stood up and said calmly, "I have found a nanny for Xin Wei and will send her there in a few days."
Shu Zhen's expression changed, and when he was about to ask where he was, Shao Kefan had disappeared.
After their marriage, she secretly eliminated many people who were extremely threatening or disloyal to him, and all those under his rule were left with absolute obedience.
He is independent and close to the people, and the people have no worries about food and clothing, and they support and respect him.
The Cang Teng Kingdom's scale, power, and people's aspirations are unprecedented.
The pride of sitting in the world makes all praises seem redundant. But the woman who passed away at a young age made his heartache and loneliness incomparable to that of ordinary people.
She could only look at the closed door of her heart and sigh, but she could not open it.
On a morning that was as ordinary as yesterday, she personally changed his clothes. He pushed her hand away and said, "I will do it myself."
"You are my husband." His tone was stubborn, a bit like Jian Xin, and Shao Kefan was in a trance.
"It seems I have to remind you of our agreement." He turned his back to her, put on another red coat, and tied his belt skillfully.
Such disregard!
After enduring for so long, she finally tightened her grip on the sword in her hand and looked at his back with a trace of hatred in her eyes. However, she finally let go.
Shao Kefan was also conflicted. One of the reasons why he married Shu Zhen was her affection, but he could not accept her care.
In fact, it’s just an agreement, so let’s go on like this!
Jian Xinhe!
There were still only withered yellow leaves on the grave. He often went to her burial place and personally pulled out every blade of grass that grew for her.
Because after the war, the grass in the wasteland became even greener, relying on corpses as nourishment.
Although the place where she is buried is not a wasteland.
Time flashed back to a year ago, when Jian Xin first learned that Shao Kefan married Shu Zhen, she was shocked. Pain first occupied Jian Xin's heart, and then she burst into tears with grief.
She had only died a few months ago. Times have changed, things have not changed so quickly. Besides, the one she married was Shu Zhen!
I rushed there in a hurry and when I arrived, Cang Teng's wedding ceremony was already over. The groom walked into the bridal chamber calmly, staring at the bride expressionlessly for a long time like a colleague who didn't care about himself.
Although he couldn't see her, she was still hanging on the palace beam as if she had done something wrong, waiting for whatever she didn't want to see.
"Don't watch what happens next, right?" Qin Weiluo, who was waiting outside Qiming Palace, suddenly appeared next to her.
"Okay, who wants to see it?" Jian Xin smiled sadly.
They alighted outside the palace gate.
Qin Weiluo glanced at Jian Xin, frowned, and said thoughtfully, "Have you found any problems?"
"What?" Tears flashed in Jian Xin's eyes, and she lowered her head as she was thinking about herself.
"I can see that the person you love doesn't love Shu Zhen at all." He looked at her, hoping that she would be comforted by these words.
"I know he must become a queen, but I'm still very sad——"
"Let's go! Go back to our Ruoxi Cave." Qin Weiluo took Jian Xin's arm and took her up. Already exhausted both physically and mentally, she involuntarily followed him back to Ruoxi Cave.
Although she was already a soul, this was the first time she experienced the feeling of being as light as a feather.
In the following days, I gradually got used to it in the heartache. When I went to see him, I treated him as if he was not married. After all, he didn't love the female killer in blue.
It wasn't until Shu Zhen gave birth to a daughter that he insisted on changing her name to Xin Wei. She suddenly felt sad, not knowing whether it was for Shu Zhen or him.
Time passes slowly, everything seems to be changing, but it remains the same.
Just like the scattered flowers that drift away every day and night, withered layer after layer on the misty path, however, the eternal love accumulates deeper and deeper. The so-called true love is like this
