Chapter 180: Forever
Mei'er trembled slightly in the night breeze and whispered, "So you're going to ...... me Imprisoning Qing'e here, in fact, Qing'e doesn't have the ability to compete with you at all, what are you afraid of? β
The Emperor of Heaven stretched out his hand to support Mei'er, she seemed to have great pity for that Qing'e girl, the bloody killing between the Heavenly Palace and the Jinling family that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years was slowly coming to an end, in fact, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots was indeed a good way to do it neatly, but in his heart he hoped that the bloodline of this ancient family could be passed on.
He spent a great deal of energy to re-cultivate the land of resentment, and sprinkled his blood on it, and now that land has been tainted with the breath of heaven, in a few years, it will surely bloom again, and all the lives born in it will forever be subject to the rule of the heavenly palace, and become an inseparable part of the heavenly realm, just like the kings of the lower realm.
From today on, no family has the ability to challenge the majesty of the Heavenly Palace, and the Jinling family, which has plagued his ancestors for many years, can only be circulated in this vast time and space in a small manner.
If the resentment in her heart can be eliminated, he will put her back to that land, and let her find someone to marry and reproduce in the heavenly domain, and the family blood flowing in her body will be passed on.
And her sister, the girl who had been haunting his heart for many years, had been brought into the Netherworld by the Hades Emperor, which was another Void World, which had nothing to do with the Heavenly Domain, and the passage connecting the two domains had been destroyed by the Hades Emperor, and she could only escape into the Netherworld forever, even if the magic sword was still in her hand, but for him, it had lost its substantial threat.
He sighed secretly, the girl who had made my young heart throb for many years was only an ethereal dream after all, and my fate with her had long since stopped at that yearβthe moment he left her alone outside the canyon, but he was stupid, and for many years he was still obsessed with indulging in an illusory vision.
The Emperor's eyes swept over the slender woman in front of him, this woman is the person I have to take care of with my heart in this life, he stepped forward and took Mei'er's hand, and said softly: "You don't have to bother with this matter, I will deal with it well." β
The little hand in his palm moved uneasily, he increased his strength slightly, and frowned: "Why are your hands so cold, go back to the palace, don't stand on the tuyere." β
Mei'er looked at the Emperor with half grief and half fear, what was his expression hidden under the mask?
The Emperor stopped talking, took her cold hand, and walked into the thick twilight.
Passing through the courtyard with the fragrance of flowers, in front of which is the Qinser Palace, Mei'er suddenly held on to the pillar beside her, and her footsteps paused slightly.
The Emperor of Heaven glanced back at her, Mei'er smiled reluctantly, and leaned on the railing: "The palace is depressed, I want to sit in the garden." β
The Heavenly Emperor was silent for a moment, but then bowed his head and said, "Very good." β
The two sat silently opposite each other, the Emperor of Heaven reached out and stroked the phoenix crown on Mei'er's head, his wife's face was hidden under this scorching light, he had twice the impulse to uncover the phoenix crown, but at the moment when he was about to unveil the Gu, she always asked him the same question in a cold tone: "Emperor, can you treat me sincerely?" β
He was patient enough tonight to wait for her to ask the question.
On both occasions, he did not give her a clear answer, and tonight, if she asked again, he would give her a satisfactory answer.
But Mei'er just looked at the endless dark night without saying a word, only a faint fragrance, floating between the ends of his nose.
"Do you have any doubts in your mind?"
He teased the strings of beads on the phoenix crown, and his deep voice carried endless temptation in the silent night, inducing her to ask the question that had left him unable to answer.
Mei'er moved gently, the round beads slowly slipped from the Emperor's hand, his hand fell on her shoulder, the scorching temperature slowly seeped into her cool body, and in the misty night light, she stared laboriously into his unfathomable eyes like the sea: "Why do you like to come to see me with this mask?" Hexi, why do you want to marry me? β
The Heavenly Emperor was a little stunned, he didn't expect her to ask this question tonight, and his eyes suddenly became a little darker.
The wind curled the ends of his hair, and he remembered that on the night of his wedding, under the scorching starry sky, he wandered alone in front of the Qinser Palace, this mask, this phoenix crown, in fact, should have disappeared without a trace that night.
But these two layers of separation are more than three years apart, just because that night, the emperor did not enter his bride's palace, but chose to turn around and leave.
The clear water of the pond reflected the starlight of the veins in the sky, fluctuating in a blur, he took a deep breath, and his tone was a little bitter: "It is an inherent form, and they will disappear after you and I have completed the ceremony...... I married you because you ...... It was given to my wife by the ancient phoenix crown, and always will be. β
Mei'er laughed, her heart slowly shattering into withered petals in the cool breeze.
"So, when you marry me, you're just bound by this phoenix crown, and you've never liked me in your heart, have you?"
You didn't marry me because you liked me, but because I was the girl chosen by this phoenix crown? No wonder you didn't even tell me your name.
Two lines of tears dripped down the corners of her eyes, Hexi, if you don't have me in your heart, why did you leave the jade pendant to me that year, and provoke me to reverie for you for many years?
Did you know my background early on, so you want to imprison me here in the name of marriage? As long as I leave the Heavenly Palace, the phoenix crown on my head will hurt me to death...... Then why don't you just kill me with a sword to prevent future troubles?
The Emperor of Heaven was silent, a few months ago, he did walk into the Qinser Palace with a reluctant mood, at that time, there was indeed no half shadow of her in his heart, but in order to fulfill the unbreakable imperial promise, but that night, the night he was about to go away, when he hugged his wife into his arms, the sudden heartbeat, the long spring dream, but like a wisp of soft silk, slowly wrapped into the heart, rippling and whirling.
There were droplets of water splashing on the back of his hand, and they were her tears.
The Emperor of Heaven held Mei'er's hand with his backhand and said in a low voice: "I know that I have wronged you, and I can't give you back the past years, but we still have a long, long time together, Mei'er, forget the past, we can start again tonight." β
The delicate fragrance wrapped around the tip of his nose, and the strength of his hand quietly tightened, embracing her all in his arms.
Mei'er looked at the Emperor of Heaven in a panic, his eyes were rolling with some faint colors, this kind of look, in the confused space of the Netherworld, she had clearly seen it in the eyes of the Emperor of the Netherworld!
That scene swept through her heart like lightning, Mei'er screamed in despair, pushed the Emperor away with all her might, turned around and ran towards Qinse Palace.
