Lu Fusu was in the living room of Zhuge's house, staring at the flame of the candle alone.
From time to time, footsteps and voices could be heard in the corridor.
Everyone is busy.
I am the only one who wants to participate but cannot.
Shui Xinyuan is his wife, and he should be the first to rescue her, but because he is the king of a country, he cannot even do this.
The same goes for Shuixinyuan.
If she were not a queen, such a frank and gentle girl would never be ostracized or put in danger.
If I were not the emperor...
If he and Shui Xinyuan had not met as a prince and a palace concubine, would they have been able to live a stable life from now on?
-Now that things have happened, thinking about these things is of no use...
This is the throne that I finally got after fighting with my younger brother. For what purpose and for whom did I inherit the throne?
"..."
Lu Fusu closed his eyes quietly.
After the death of the Queen Mother, the huge Donghe Hall became a quiet and lonely place. People there rarely smiled and just lived their daily lives lightly.
During the day, the teachers who came to teach, the officials who occasionally visited, and the old gardener Fu Bo were all the people to chat with.
But in the dead of night, he felt as if he had been thrown into a big box. He felt uneasy even when he was in his room. He hated this feeling, so he often went out for walks.
It was the same that night.
He walked out of the Donghe Hall and took a walk in the palace when he came near the Qinghe Hall.
He listened carefully and heard lively laughter and music.
...so tragic.
The younger brother lived a happy life surrounded by everyone, but he was alone.
He doesn't need to be cheered by, he just wants to have a close friend.
I just hope that there is someone who can accompany me on this cold night...
As long as he has a confidant like this, he will want nothing more.
He is willing to give up his position as prince, and he is willing to give up everything...
He remembers it clearly.
He wanted to scream that he was lonely, but he gave up even saying this hope.
Although he hated loneliness, he didn't know how to eliminate it. In the end, he could only walk back to his room silently.
I don’t know how long I should linger in the night with this melancholy mood?
Then, he saw...
I saw a petite girl standing in the night, looking up at the moon.
He still remembers it.
When the girl turned her head, her eyes were filled with tears.
Although she didn't say a word, her eyes expressed loneliness more than a thousand words.
Before this, Lu Fusu had always felt that he was the only one forgotten by the world, and that he was the only one lonely in the world.
Under the girl's eyes, this arrogant loneliness collapsed.
...that's right...
That night, I decided to become the king of a country.
The girl left her family and her hometown, and was so lonely that she wanted to cry, but she was also very cheerful when telling her tragic life experience. In order for her to laugh from the bottom of her heart, she wanted to become the king of a country.
His mind changed overnight.
That night changed everything.
That night made him realize his immaturity and the feeling of loving someone.
After that, Donghe Hall still played and sang every night, but he no longer felt lonely.
Because of her.
She told him that she would definitely dance better and hoped that one day he would watch her dance.
At this moment, she must be practicing dance hard.
Therefore, we cannot be willing to lag behind.
The next time you meet her, what you do should be in line with your innate position, and you should not feel ashamed in front of her.
Before that, I was not eligible to see her.
As long as fate is destined to meet each other again, we will definitely see her again.
If we could meet again, I would never let her go again...
"..."
Lu Fusu opened his eyes, the candle was still burning quietly.
Once you give up your current position, you will deny the reunion that night and deny that determination.
Although I want to pursue a peaceful life for two people, there are some things that I still can't give up.
Only by constantly swinging between my stance and my desires did I get to where I am today.
...Shui Xinyuan should also be able to understand this contradiction...
Although Shui Xinyuan always had a slight smile on his face, sometimes he would desperately hold his hand.
Lu Fusu realized the meaning.
If you ask her if she regrets becoming a queen, she will definitely answer with a smile that she never regrets it.
However, Lu Fusu was still afraid that there would be some hesitation in her answer, so he still didn't dare to ask.
I am too weak.
He even felt that he was no different now than he was when he didn't know what to do and could only wander around the palace at night.
...Even so, we still have to protect her...
She must be waiting for my rescue somewhere.
Lu Fusu was upset, gritted his teeth, and pinched his arm hard with his nails, almost tearing his sleeves.
When he silently called Shui Xinyuan's name, there was a slight movement behind him.
"Oh it's you……"
Looking back, I saw that the door was open and Qing'er came in carrying a tray with tea cups.
"I guess the emperor can't sleep."
"You should rest early..."
"I can't sleep either."
Qing'er smiled bitterly and put the tea cup on the table.
"The tea I made is not as delicious as Shui Xinyuan, so the emperor may not be satisfied with it."
"No...it's time to work."
He took a sip of hot tea, and although he was still anxious, he realized that he was not the only one unable to move freely.
Shui Xinyuan, a friend who is pregnant with Liujia, should also want to rush to the front line to find Shui Xinyuan's whereabouts...
