Zhao Xueji runs a real estate development company, which is very prestigious in China and belongs to the top 100 large companies. The real estate in Yanjing City and many big cities in China were developed by her company. Since she thought Qin Zheng died, she almost Putting all her energy into her career, the company's development is naturally booming. Although China has introduced several policies to suppress real estate, her company has not been affected in any way, and the properties it develops are still very popular. .
Since Qin Zheng's "death", she has never met the emperor again, and has rarely had phone calls. After all, there was a story where they all needed to avoid suspicion. People say it is scary, but... However, Zhao Xueji was very clear about what happened back then, and she had always been grateful to the emperor, because if the emperor hadn't been burdened with such infamy and revealed the truth, then it would be Qin Richao and she who would be hurt. .
When she received a call from the emperor today, Zhao Xueji could tell that the emperor had something important to tell her, and she was a little surprised. She knew very well the emperor's feelings for her. For so many years, the emperor had been single and had not found anyone again. She knew that it was because the emperor couldn't let go of her at all. After Qin Zheng's "death", she actually thought about whether she should accept the emperor's feelings and be with the emperor, but she couldn't. I felt that this seemed unfair to the emperor, and also felt that it seemed a bit unscrupulous, so I didn't do it.
Putting down the work at hand, Zhao Xueji got up and left the office, and walked towards the teahouse she had made an appointment with the emperor. It had been too long since she had seen him. Zhao Xueji deliberately dressed up a little. Although she was already in her prime, her skin was a little saggy, and it was not as good as before. Youthful and beautiful, but with a more mature charm.
After arriving at the teahouse, Zhao Xueji asked for a private room, and then ordered the emperor's favorite tea. Although she hadn't seen him for a long time, Zhao Xueji still remembered the emperor's preferences. She didn't know why, but she felt a little nervous. Like a young man and woman having an affair, she can't help but feel a little nervous in her heart. In the mall, she is very capable and majestic, but emotionally, she is not a strong woman.
Time passed by minute by second, Zhao Xueji took out the mirror from time to time to look at it and touch up her makeup, for fear that her makeup would be ruined. She was also thinking about what the emperor looked like now and how much he had changed. Well, I am already old, and the emperor should be old too.
While Zhao Xueji was thinking wildly, the emperor walked in from the outside, opened the door, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhao Xueji in the room. Along the way, he was also thinking about Zhao Xueji's appearance. He hadn't seen her for a long time. Zhao Xueji's memory still remains at that time.
"What's wrong? I don't recognize him anymore. He's getting older and has changed a lot." Zhao Xueji said.
"No, you are still as beautiful and charming as before." The emperor came back to his senses, sat down in his seat, glanced at Zhao Xueji, and continued: "After so many years, you still haven't changed. Moreover, it has a more feminine feel than it did back then.”
Zhao Xueji said happily: "No way, as I get older, I have wrinkles. Hey, women can never beat the years. No matter how well I take care of myself now, I can never regain the skin and figure I had before. But you , not much has changed over the years, and he has become more domineering like a superior."
"I have gray hair. I have been paralyzed for so many years, which has also caused my body to be severely damaged and I have aged much." The emperor said. The emperor had obviously dressed up carefully. His hair was gelled, and he looked very old. Wearing a suit and leather shoes on my back, I felt much more energetic.
"Yes, your injuries are all healed." Zhao Xueji was a little excited because she hadn't seen him for so long. If the emperor hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten that the emperor had been paralyzed for so many years.
"Not long ago," the emperor said, "one of my new apprentices and his friends saved me. They drained the ice energy from my ears out of my body, and then combined with the medication, I was finally able to stand up. It’s just that I’ve been paralyzed for too long, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to normal in a short period of time.”
"Who is the new disciple? Who is so lucky to be your disciple?" Zhao Xueji asked.
"Let's not talk about it anymore." The emperor changed the topic and said, "How have you been in these years?" The emperor didn't want to tell her that he had accepted Ye Qian as his disciple. After all, Ye Qian was now with Qin Richao The relationship is very tense, and he is afraid that what he says will cause displeasure.
Zhao Xueji did not ask further questions. She also knew the emperor's identity. There were many things that might not be convenient to talk about. Just like Qin Zheng back then, there were many things that could not be discussed with her as his wife. Naturally, the emperor also had some things. It's not convenient for me to say to myself, "It's okay." Zhao Xueji said, "It was harder when I was a child. At that time, Qin Zheng had just passed away. I felt very sad and empty. I didn't know what to do. Emperor, thank you. , thank you for doing that back then, otherwise, I really don’t know if I would be able to live with that kind of pressure.”
With a faint smile, the emperor said: "It's nothing, it's all what I should do. Qin is my good brother who lives through life and death. These are all things I should do. As long as you can live a good life, no matter how much I bear, The stress is all worth it." After looking at the tea on the table, the emperor took a sip, looked at Zhao Xueji in surprise, and said, "You still remember the tea I like to drink."
"How could I not remember?" Zhao Xueji said, "I remember that every time you went to a teahouse, you would order such tea. I asked you why, and you said that drinking this tea can make you feel the persistence in your heart, which will always be there. Go on without hesitation, Emperor, I'm sorry, I won't be able to pay you back in my lifetime."
"What are you talking about?" The emperor smiled lightly and said, "You don't owe me anything. These are all done willingly by me. I have never thought about getting anything. As long as you can be happy and you can be happy, then I All the efforts are worth it, so you don’t have to feel like you owe me anything.”
"Huang, in fact, over the years, I have thought about being with you, but I have never been able to get over the hurdle in my heart, and I have never dared to take that step. I know how good you are to me, and I also I'm very grateful. I don't know how to repay you. I also thought about being with you." Zhao Xueji was a little excited but also a little shy and said, "Huang, you know, I have been very helpless over the years. Sometimes I I also really want to have a shoulder to lean on. I am no longer the young self I used to be. Are you still willing to accept me?"
Confession, the confession that the emperor has been waiting for for so many years. If Zhao Xueji could have given a little hint in her eyes or movements, the emperor would have agreed without hesitation. However, now...it seems that God is deliberately teasing people. Taking a deep breath, the emperor said: "Xue Ji, no matter what you become, you will always be the same you in my heart, and I have never changed anything about you, but..."
The emperor really didn't know what to say. The thing he had been looking forward to for a long time suddenly appeared in front of him. He could grab it as long as he stretched out his hand, but he couldn't reach out. I'm afraid how uncomfortable that feeling was. Only those who have experienced it personally know.
Zhao Xueji couldn't help being stunned for a moment and looked at the emperor in astonishment. She thought that as long as she said it, the emperor would definitely agree. But now, the emperor's hesitation made her heart feel cold to the soles of her feet. She was a little embarrassed. Somewhat at a loss, she took a deep breath. Zhao Xueji suppressed the nervousness and embarrassment in her heart and said, "But what? Are you worried that Richa will disagree? Don't worry, I will go and talk to Richa. Yes, I just ask you now, are you willing to be with me?"
"Of course I am willing." The emperor blurted out and said, "My biggest wish in this life is to be with you. No matter what I am asked to pay, I am willing to pay. Even if it means giving my life, I will never frown. , but...but, there are some things you don’t know."
"Do you have something to hide?" Zhao Xueji said, "If you have anything you can tell me, let's face it together. I believe there is nothing that cannot be solved, right?"
Taking a deep breath, the emperor was silent for a moment and said, "Do you know what that kid from Japan is doing now?"
"What does this have to do with him?" Zhao Xueji was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
"He has another name in the world, Mr. Gao. He is the leader of an international drug trafficking organization and the leader of the largest drug trafficking group in China. Moreover, he also researches biological weapons and trades with those terrorists." The emperor said. , "Everything he did is enough to make him lose his head. As the leader of Dragon Killer, can I sit back and ignore it? If I catch him with my own hands, will you still be willing to accept me? These things I I didn't want to tell you at first, I was just afraid of embarrassing you and making you uncomfortable, but now, I have to say it."
Zhao Xueji was shocked and a little stunned. She really couldn't believe what the emperor said. "Although that kid from Japan is a little extreme, he won't do these things. Emperor, have you misunderstood?" Is there any misunderstanding?" Zhao Xueji said.
"No, there is no conclusive evidence for anything." The emperor said, "You know who I am. When have I told lies in front of you, and when have I lied to you."
Zhao Xueji was stunned. She really didn't know what to do. If everything was really as the emperor said, could she still accept the emperor?
