"I know that you didn't watch me enter the palace, and I also know that you didn't sleep for three days and three nights in order to stop me from entering the palace, and you rushed from the northern camp, and you were injured on the way, but when you arrived at the palace gate, you were still a step late. ”

Nie Yao withdrew his gaze from looking at him, and his voice was no longer so hysterical.

"I was in the palace at the time, and what I was most looking forward to was the Mid-Autumn Festival and the family banquet during the Chinese New Year, do you know why? Not to see the emperor, but to be able to see you from afar. I have never been favored in the palace, and my family is jealous of the emperor, so I haven't lost my life, and I know half of it is because of your protection. Sixth brother, you are good, I remember ......"

The more Nie Yao spoke, the softer her voice became, and gradually the voice seemed to float on an untouchable cloud, making people hold their breath and dare not take a breath.

The memories of the past came out of her mouth, and he looked at her expression, and from her expression he understood how much she cherished her.

The slap that had just been hit seemed to be healed in an instant by these words floating on the tip of my heart.

"Yes, I admit that I like you, even love you, and although I have become the emperor's concubine, I still miss you. Even if I know that you have done so much for me, when the emperor was alive, I never dared to say a word to you, not even a word. Because I know that the emperor is not only jealous of my family, but he is also suspicious of you. ”

"The old emperor can't stand it anymore, you know my pain and ambition, and he is secretly wishing me to take the throne. Without you, Dayan's top position would not be my turn as a woman, even if I am ruthless and scheming, those old ministers will not obey me as a woman. ”

"One day I'll make it to the top. I can dominate all living beings, I don't dare to oppose anything, and I am surrounded by sages and capable ministers. I thought I had waited so many years for us to finally be together, but what about you! My sixth brother, where did you go at that time! Where were you when I walked hand in hand with you to the altar of the Heavenly Sacrifice!"

"Do you know how I felt when the ceremony of worshipping the heavens began, when the chanting of the priests sounded, and when the voices of the ministers kneeling and bowing sounded, I was the only one who walked on the high platform alone, and became a lonely person to face this lonely high position?"

"The altar is so high! I walked for more than a quarter of an hour with the hem of my skirt, and the cold wind poured on my face, and my heart was colder than my face, because I knew that my sixth brother had finally left me, and we might never see each other again in this life......

As Nie Yao spoke, she couldn't hold back the tears that swirled in her eyes any longer, flowing down her cheeks to the corners of her mouth, and then dripping from her chin.

She didn't cry, she just kept a little makeup and let the tears slip down.

Nie Yao sneered in her heart, she didn't expect that after so many years, she would still cry, and she could really cry.

What a miracle!

As early as after Qin Mo left, she forgot the feeling of crying.

The reason why I cry is because I know that people will be distressed.

What's the point of crying if the person who feels sorry for you is gone?

So she has always been the cold empress in the hearts of her courtiers.

The empress who rarely laughs and doesn't cry.

At the beginning, Lu Zecheng was still because of Nie Yao's words, as if a heart was wrapped in a layer of honey.

But as she spoke, his heart tightened more and more, and at last it seemed to be ravaged by iron sand, and it was sour.

His hands trembled slightly, and his eyes grew more and more guilty.

When he saw her tears flowing, he couldn't hold back anymore and took the girl in front of him into his arms.

She had borne so much pain, had experienced so much suffering, her despair and helplessness, and he hadn't even noticed it.

He wants to give her all the best things in the world, he wants her to smile every day, her goal is his goal, his ambition is his ambition.

He thought he was her strongest backing, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was he who hurt her the most.

He hugged her as if he were embracing the whole world.

Lu Zecheng stroked Nie Yao's soft long hair.

Let her bury her face in her neck socket, and her tears touched the skin on the side of his neck like a soldering iron, burning his heart.

Lu Zecheng took a deep breath, held back the tears in his eyes, and opened his mouth hoarsely.

"A-Yao, I left suddenly at that time because I didn't think I was worthy of you, you are the empress of Dayan, high, noble and pure, you can govern Dayan River and Mountain. And I, who have abandoned the identity of the sixth prince of Dayan, is just a disabled cripple. ”

His leg was Nie Yao entered the palace that year, and he hurried back, only bringing a personal guard, and was crippled by the prince's people on the way.

Because he was in a hurry to enter the palace to stop Nie Yao, he missed the best time for treatment, and later cured but was also left disabled, and his right leg was lame.

Being an official in Dayan depends on your appearance, let alone being a dignified son.

The six princes who crowned the capital in the early years became the laughing stock of the streets and alleys in an instant.

However, it was his crippled leg that negligent the crown prince knew that he could not compete for the throne.

Lu Zecheng's chin rested on the top of her head, and his big palm gently patted and rubbed her back.

"I left because I didn't want to see you walk up to the altar and support a lame me, the sacred altar should not be defiled by a disabled person like me, and I don't want you to be talked about by the officials and become their after-dinner conversation. ”

So when he was carried to the altar in her royal court, he left the capital with his personal guards and his own five hundred private soldiers, and he led his horse to stand in the Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of the capital, looked up at the banner of the new emperor in the distance, and silently blessed her in his heart.

He endured the reluctance in his heart and left across the horse to the border, to guard this corner of the country for her.

Nie Yao buried her head in his arms, her emotions fluctuated and made her a little tired, he wanted to hold her, she didn't refuse, and even indulged herself wantonly to enjoy the warmth of this moment.

But hearing his explanation, her originally slightly calm emotions exploded again.

She didn't care about it, even when she earned her injured leg last night, she didn't care.

She put her hands on Lu Zecheng's chest and pushed him away.

Lu Zecheng's warm embrace was empty for a moment, without the familiar taste of him.

Nie Yao pointed at him and said angrily: "Qin Mo, I didn't expect you to be such an inferior person. Where is your nobility, your pride, and your wisdom?

"A lame leg will beat you to death, how important is your face! For your damn lame leg that is not worth mentioning, you don't even want me, Qin Mo, you are not worthy of being my sixth brother, you are a complete bastard!"

Lu Zecheng froze.
