"Your Majesty, have you thought about it, where are you going to go after this Zen edict?"

The pen and ink had just been prepared, and the jade seal was also taken and put aside, but Liu Defu's hands were still trembling slightly.

Although he is not the king of the dead country...... But where is the fate of the emperor?

The emperor looked down at the regular clothes on his body, and there was no longer the dragon he was most familiar with, just some simple embroidery, and suddenly sighed.

"Father-in-law Liu, if I die, remember to tell others, don't bury me in the imperial mausoleum, I am an unworthy descendant, I have no shame to go to see my father, just find a barren mountain and a wild ridge, so that I will not be exposed to the wilderness. ”

Liu Defu couldn't help but burst into tears:

"Your Majesty, no, you are a Zen throne, not a seizure of the throne, you won't ......"

"The Zen position is just to make the face of the Qin Wangfu look better, how much better can my fate be? My father has guarded against Xiao Wushuang all his life, but today I want to give up the dragon chair, and I should not die well. ”

It seems that because he foresaw a possible ending, the emperor, who had been in a state of confusion for a long time, was unprecedentedly clear in his mind at this time.

He seems to have regained the vigor he should have at the age of twenty-one, but his expression has the twilight of life, which makes people feel ominous at a glance.

"Father-in-law Liu, you don't have to shed tears for me, I have to achieve what I want, this is a good thing. ”

The emperor lifted up his wide long sleeves, picked up his pen and wrote a book, and did not look at the scholars of the Hanlin Academy who were preparing the edict on the side of the Hou, and soon wrote the edict of the Zen throne by himself.

"I have reigned for more than five years, and I am ashamed of my ancestors and the people, so that I am ashamed of my grandmother and the people of Li. ”

"Today, there is my uncle King Qin, the same root and the same heir, and Emperor Xiaozong's own son. There are the achievements of the gods and martial arts in the past, and there are the virtues of today's glory. Save the danger, the atmosphere is quiet and chaotic, the relief is difficult, and the merit is all created. It can bear the weight of the community and the hope of the people. ”

"The trip to Fu Avenue, the world is for the public, and the selection of talents and abilities is carried out, so Tang Yao is not selfish in the Turks, but famous in infinity. ”

"I envy and admire, and now he is chasing Yaodian, Zen and King Qin. Since then, all the people have been safe, the country is eternal, the Great Qi has been eternal, and the Xiao family has survived forever. ”

The Hanlin Bachelor, who was left to dry, was like a quail in the cold wind, and he didn't dare to come out of the air from beginning to end, nor did he dare to look up at the emperor.

The emperor finished writing by himself, and personally used the jade seal to cover the seal, only then did he coldly glance at the courtiers with ashamed faces, and sneered:

"You were also the pillars of my humerus in the past, and you will be the loyal ministers of others in the future, so this matter will not be a big deal for you, although it is not as gorgeous as the poems and songs you have drawn up, but I personally drafted it, and it is also a beautiful thing!"

Several people knelt on the ground together, and before they knew it, tears came out of their eyes-

No matter how much this person in front of him is, he is also the emperor they swore allegiance to, and he is the first person to personally draw up the edict of Zen for himself in the history books.

But at this point, who can blame?

The original wise and martial emperor became like this for no reason, who can blame him?!

The emperor didn't care how guilty and ashamed they were, just waited for the ink on the edict to dry completely, rolled it up with his own hands, and held it tightly in his hand.

On his angular face, when he saw Xu Chenglin and King Anxi walking side by side, he smiled incomprehensibly:

"So you've been in collusion for a long time...... I'm a real traitor, isn't it?"

"However, Xu Chenglin, I have changed my mind. ”

Without waiting for Xu Chenglin to change color, the emperor took the lead in raising the silk silk in his hand:

"I've prepared the edict, but I'm not going to give it to you right now. ”

"And what more do you want, or do you think you have another choice?"

Xu Chenglin instantly began to reflect, has he always been too tolerant of him?

Xiao Shaoyun looked around the deserted Zhaoyang Palace, walked back, took the edict in his arms and sat back on the golden chair he was used to sitting on:

"I won't leave the palace, I'm going to be here, waiting for Cheng Huan to come back. ”

The courtiers who were still crying with guilt just now, and were full of apologies to the emperor were stunned, is the emperor starting to go crazy again?

Xu Chenglin rejected him without thinking:

"No way. ”

"If you are willing to go and see her, you will see, if you are not willing, then we don't want this edict, you know, as long as you die, we will have as many edicts as you want. ”

Xu Chenglin's attitude has been tougher than ever.

The wind and snow were raging outside, and Cheng Huan had just conceived a child, how could she trek in such a wind and snow?

The Emperor sighed, and stopped talking, leaning on the wide golden chair alone, closing his eyes and curling up, loneliness enveloping him in an instant.

He has always lived in Zhaoyang Palace, not nostalgic for this gorgeous palace.

He is nostalgic for the days and nights she spent here with him in his previous life, and he is nostalgic for the breath of her by his side.

At that time, she sat with him on this large golden chair, and it was never so empty as it is now.

He always thought that she left him here, and at this time, he should also come back here, so that it could be considered complete, and only then could he finally get what he wanted.

In fact, it is not, his wish will never be fulfilled.

Xu Chenglin also stopped talking, and stood in place with the sword at his waist, as if he didn't care whether what he did would fall into the notoriety of killing the emperor, and silently confronted the emperor.

The cold wind outside the window howled more and more, and the few people who were completely regarded as transparent actually broke out in a cold sweat in this cold hall.

If the two sides finally fight, the people who become cannon fodder are not their courtiers in the cracks?

I don't know how long it took, but the thought of being anxious to see her prevailed, and the emperor opened his eyes.

"Xu Chenglin, do you not want her to come, or does she not want to come?

Xu Chenglin's hand on the sword was slightly loosened, and he sneered:

"You still have the face to say such a thing, aren't you responsible for everything?"

The emperor was silent for a moment, but still compromised:

"You're right, from beginning to end, I can't stand her. ”

After speaking, he sat up, with a bit of hope on his handsome side face:

"Well, it's such a cold weather, don't let her come, I'll go see her. I don't know if she will be happy to see me. ”

Happy? Probably frightened.

Just thinking of the look on her face when she grabbed his hand and said that she wanted to see Xiao Shaoyun, his heart still sank.

None of them asked what Cheng Huan dreamed of in that nightmare.

Xu Chenglin waved his hand and ordered someone to bring the emperor a big coat to keep out the cold:

"Then, Your Majesty, let's go. ”

The night of the imperial city is different from the folk, it has always carried its grandeur and brilliance, standing on the high place of the capital, coldly looking down at the creeping world under its feet.

But when the overwhelming snow covered it, its glory was completely hidden, and even because of the emptiness of the six palaces in the east and west, it looked particularly bleak and lonely.

There are so many joys and excitements in the world, but there is no place that belongs to him.

Taiming Lake has frozen, and the wide road by the lake is covered with snow.

The emperor held the edict of the Zen throne in his arms, and before leaving the palace, he took one last look back at the place where he had lived for two lifetimes.

The previous life was so long, because they only had suffering.

And this life is short, but they are still separated.

After all, he will leave in a hurry, like the ghost of the invisible man in the night, and when he returns, everything will be unrecognizable.

But what does it matter?

I had already been defeated once in my previous life, and now I am just starting again.

Xu Chenglin stood beside the emperor and did not urge him.

The emperor left the palace at this time, if there is no accident, he can only come out to show his face during the Zen throne ceremony, if there is an accident...... That's probably never going to come back.

For an emperor, this is also the supreme sorrow.

The emperor wanted to ride a horse like Xu Chenglin, but Xu Chenglin had already prepared a special carriage for him.

"The emperor's dragon body is precious, so it is safer to go by carriage. ”

"Are you afraid that I will run away? Xu Chenglin, you underestimate me too much. ”

The emperor did not argue with Xu Chenglin anymore and obediently got into the carriage.

This is to see Cheng Huan, even if he dies on the road, he will not escape.

The sparkling carriage drove through the snow, making a creaking sound, and the group of people in strict armor surrounded the emperor out of the palace gate, breaking through the vast night, and trudging out of the city.

Bai Chenghuan waited silently in the tent, and Xiao Shaotang quietly accompanied her.

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

Thinking of the person who was coming, Bai Chenghuan was a little nervous, but Xiao Shaotang was more calm.

Bai Chenghuan lay in Xiao Shaotang's arms, tilted his head, and stared at him with bright black eyes for a long time before shaking his head resolutely.

"No, he can't hurt me. ”

Originally, this incident had already made Xiao Shaotang feel embarrassed and embarrassed, if he was to accompany him again, wouldn't it be a knife to Ling Chi his self-esteem?

"Good. ”

Xiao Shaotang did not insist anymore.

It's a past he doesn't know, and he'll never be able to get involved.

Protecting her and letting her completely untie the knot in her heart was the only thing he could do now.

The carriage that drove into the barracks in the middle of the night did not attract much attention.

The emperor got out of the carriage and could only see the tent in the darkness of the night.

Like a giant beast, lurking in the middle of the night, it took away his country like this.

He was invited into an inconspicuous tent, and the tent was lit with a warm charcoal stove, but the aura of condensation on the guards outside the tent still penetrated in, warning him not to act rashly.

used to be a high emperor, but now he has become a solid prisoner.

The Emperor smiled self-deprecatingly, sat down in front of the desk, and reached out to pour himself a cup of hot tea.

He didn't feel cold, but if Cheng Huan saw his pale face for a while, he would definitely be displeased, right?

In the whistling of the north wind, it seemed as if a long time had passed, and it seemed like it was just a moment, when he heard the slight footsteps in the sound of the wind and snow outside, he stood up suddenly.

"Cheng Huan! is that you?"

Under the agitation of his heart, he couldn't help but call out, but the footsteps outside the curtain suddenly stopped.

The Emperor's rush to the door also stopped.

After a long time in the world, how can we meet again?

Between him and his long-cherished wish in his previous life, there was only this curtain.

is also snowing, belatedly coming outside the curtain, will it be the Cheng Huan who is holding the plum bottle, is full of energy, folds plums in the snow, and smiles with flowers?

A fierce wind blew, and the thick curtain was blown up, and a bright red cloak came into view, the color of fire and blood, which occupied all his reason—

"Cheng Huan, Cheng Huan!"

He didn't hesitate to run over, stretching out his arms to embrace the haunting figure.

That was where all his dreams in his past and present lives were, and he wanted to ask her, how could he leave him alone in the world like that, so unrelentingly?

But before he could reach the door, a pair of plain hands reached out and lifted the curtain completely.

There was no scorching red plum in front of him, no bright smile, only a cold and shining sword, horizontal in front of him.

Such a dreamlike hope was suddenly shattered.

On the face like white porcelain, the delicate eyebrows and eyes carry boundless coldness.

"Xiao Shaoyun, you want to see me, do you want to tell me why you killed me in the first place?"

The dark eyes stared at him coldly, with a chill, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen in an instant.

"Cheng Huan...... I didn't mean to kill you...... I never wanted to hurt you!"

Xiao Shaoyun took a step back and defended weakly.

Bai Chenghuan set his eyes on him, and the outline of that face gradually became clear, young and handsome, just like the night of their wedding.

That night, all the painful memories finally returned at this moment.

"So you didn't think about killing me......"

She smiled softly and put her hand on her neck, there was no wound there, but she still seemed to hear the sound of blood gurgling out.

"Then what do you want? What do you want to do if you cut my neck with a dagger and bury me in the imperial mausoleum?"

Such a calm question, but Xiao Shaoyun forced him to take a step back step after step, until there was no way back, then he raised his hand and covered his face.

"Are you really my Cheng Huan? Are you really her?"

"She won't know how much I love her......"

Bai Chenghuan turned his head and looked at the beating light in the corner, his eyes were empty and indifferent:

"Of course not. That Cheng Huan of yours, she's dead. ”

Maybe Xu Chenghuan in the previous life knew, but in this life, all she got was hate.

"Cheng Huan...... Forgive me...... I just want to give you a new shell, I don't want you to die......"

Despite the difficulty, he said the same.

"But you didn't ask me if I wanted to. ”

Bai Chenghuan interrupted his explanation, and such a cold and resolute tone made Xiao Shaoyun feel extremely unfamiliar.

After a long time, Xiao Shaoyun suddenly let out a miserable laugh:

"I knew that being as proud as you would definitely be unwilling—but Cheng Huan, tell me, what else can I do to get rid of the fate of our previous life?"
