Zhan Meixiang felt very uncomfortable being looked at by Dongfang Che like this, "Why are you always looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
After hearing Zhan Meixiang ask herself this question, Dongfang Che didn't react at all. He just shook his head gently with a smile, "Xiang'er, do you know? You are really beautiful tonight. Although those envoys are here
I keep flattering you, but I believe they must say those words of praise from the bottom of their hearts."
Looking at Dongfang Che suddenly talking like this, there is no hint of drunkenness at all.
"It seems that your Majesty has sobered up. Could you please drive back to your palace?" Zhan Meixiang said as she wanted to stand up and call to the palace people waiting outside to send Dongfang Che back to his bedroom.
But just as Zhan Meixiang wanted to stand up, she was immediately pulled by Dongfang Che who was sitting and fell down on the chair again. Zhan Meixiang looked at Dongfang Che with a look of doubt. But Dongfang Che looked at the candles on the table and said,
He spoke carelessly.
"I am drunk, I am really drunk, but I like this kind of drunkenness, because in this way I can do things that a normal person can do unscrupulously. There are some things that I cannot do just because I am the emperor.
"
Looking at Dongfang Che like this, Zhan Meixiang suddenly felt a sense of distress in her heart. She could feel Dongfang Che's fatigue as the emperor. Zhan Meixiang seemed to have guessed the reason why Dongfang Che acted like this tonight. She slowly
Sit down and listen quietly to Dongfang Che's slow talk.
"If I could choose, I would rather not be the emperor. Because I know clearly how many people want the throne I sit on. If it were not to protect the people I cherish, why would I have to work so hard on this throne?
Are you supporting it?" Dongfang Che did not look at Zhan Meixiang and said, but seemed to be thinking about something through the candle.
"For the sake of this throne, my brothers who have been together for many years have turned against each other, and good relatives have become enemies. The people I once thought were important misunderstood me and said that I was a cold-blooded person. Every day I have to look at the woman I hate, and from time to time I still look at the woman I hate.
want
I don't even have the power to decide my own wife by forcing a smile on their face." Dongfang Che said and looked at Zhan Meixiang. Such a fiery gaze almost made Zhan Meixiang think that Dongfang Che was going to make another passionate "confession"
"Yes.
But Dongfang Che, who looked at Zhan Meixiang with fiery eyes, did not say any more passionate "confession", but continued: "Brother Sanhuang always thought that I didn't know that he found someone to poison him. He even poisoned his own brother.
For plotting to kill myself, I, the emperor, should be considered a coward. But, Xiang'er, do you know? In fact, I have always known that the poison was administered by the Third Emperor's brother, but I didn't want to expose it.
Dongfang Che's words really frightened Zhan Meixiang, "Since you know that he was responsible for the poison, why don't you punish him? Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that he will continue to be unfavorable to you?"
Zhan Meixiang asked Dongfang Che with some doubts. After hearing this, Dongfang Che just shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly.
"I don't want to punish the three emperor brothers. I just want to take care of the family ties between the brothers and let them know how to stop. I have lost too many relatives. I don't want to be without a blood relative around me when I am old.
." Dongfang Che has suffered many assassinations over the years.
