Chapter 196: I am willing to choose my own life and death
A thin haze flowed, and Mei'er's voice was as ethereal as smoke.
"At that moment, I thoughtβwhy you? It would have been much better if the person I saw wasn't you, but it was you...... You've been there for me all these years. β
The Emperor's heart sank, he looked at Mei'er with heavy eyes, Mei'er met his eyes that were shining in the dark night, and whispered: "That jade pendant... I'm confused, if my husband is really you, why do you and I have been married for many years, and you have been separated from each other? Didn't you marry me because you liked me? Besides, we also have this ancient phoenix crown as a matchmaker, it is a match made in heaven! β
"That night, you told me that you had been thinking about the girl you met in the forbidden land of the West, and I suddenly realized that this is really providential, and Xi, there is always a fate between me and you."
Is it the wind that blinds you and me, or is it the karmic cycle of fate?
The thin clouds drifted away, the clear light reappeared, and under the bright and clear light, she and his shadow seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains, and they could look at each other, but they did not overlap.
The Emperor stretched out his hand to hug Mei'er into his arms, Mei'er slid to the side, avoiding his embrace, and the Emperor said in a deep voice: "Didn't I tell you that I have put her down, and I will treat you well in the years to come." β
Mei'er shook her head sadly, choked up: "There is no future, Hexi, between me and you, there can be no future years." Since the rules of the phoenix crown marriage can be abolished, then start from your generation, you don't have to wait for the next generation, I ask myself to leave, this marriage contract, let's cancel it, in the future, you can freely find a suitable partner in the heavenly domain, just when I never existed, okay? β
The Emperor's heart ached, he took a step forward, grabbed her shoulder, and said angrily: "You are crazy! Do you know what you're talking about? We have been married for many years, you are my wife, when did I say I don't want you? What are you doing with all these ridiculous thoughts? β
Mei'er avoided his painful gaze and said in a low voice: "This has nothing to do with you, this is my own decision, Hexi, just think that I have failed your mind, after I leave, you can find the person you love at will, forget me, I know that the so-called ominous place in the secluded stream of the road is actually the door of life and death left by the emperor and queen in ancient times, I am immoral and incompetent, not worthy of the emperor, I am willing to choose the door of life and death, all the consequences, by my own responsibility." β
The Emperor of Heaven was shocked, Mei'er's voice was very low, but it was extremely clear, indicating that her mind was absolutely awake at the moment, and an unspeakable soreness swelled in his heart, he did snub her in the past, but in recent months, he has had an indescribable longing for her, first faintly, and then into lingering nostalgia.
Tonight, he plans to introduce her into the peach blossom pond of the emperor and queen's acacia, the grievances between the heavenly palace and the Jinling family have been settled, the heavenly domain will be peaceful and peaceful in the future, he is tired, he needs tender comfort, he hopes that from tonight onwards, he will love his wife well.
But tonight, under the clear light of the moon, she said to him in an indifferent tone - I am immoral and incompetent, unworthy of the emperor, and I am willing to choose my own life and death.
Anger and pain surged alternately in my heart, I am the lord of the heavenly domain, is it so unbearable, you have rejected me three or four times, and now you will not hesitate to end the marriage contract between you and me at the cost of your life!
The Heavenly Emperor's eyebrows twisted into a ball, and he said gloomily: "Who told you that there is a door of life and death in the secluded stream?" Is it the old fool of the wise man? That's a point of no return, and I won't allow you to do that! You used to care so much about whether I really treated you or not, why did you choose this path when I told you that I would treat you sincerely in this life? Could it be that you still miss the man you met back then? β
Mei'er broke free from the Emperor's hand and walked to the edge of the rock, her long skirt fluttered in the wind, and her gentle voice also danced in the wind: "I met him that year, he deliberately teased me, I hated him at first, but later, I did keep him in my heart for many years, the day you and I got married, the person I thought of in my heart was also him!" β
The Heavenly Emperor's throat rolled slightly, his hand couldn't help but clench into a fist, his breath was slightly rough, and he said in a deep voice: "Go on!" β
"Emperor, have you ever heard the phrase "creation makes people? I and you, both blinded by our own dreams, see only the illusion in the dream, but did not seriously see the person around me, now, wake up from the dream, but you and my fate has also come to an end, this is your fate and mine. Today I made this choice, not for him, but, but I really can't be your wife, I'm sorry, Hexi, you are a benevolent monarch, under your painstaking management, the heavenly domain will definitely flourish, including the withered forbidden land in the West, I have lost you in this life, but I will not let you be ashamed, between life and death, I will take care of it, you don't need to worry about it. β
The Emperor of Heaven encircled Mei'er behind his back and asked in a low voice: "You are lying, this is not a reason, do you have anything unspeakable?" β
Mei'er only felt that a boulder was blocked in her chest, and she cried out in pain: "Hexi, you still can't understand my words? Can't think of who I am? β
The Emperor of Heaven tightened his hand and said word by word: "You are my wife, and you will always be." β
Mei'er let out a low cry and shook her head in despair: "I can't be your wife anymore, I really can't, do you understand?" β
The Emperor of Heaven pulled the string of beads on her phoenix crown and said abruptly, "You don't love me, do you?" That's why he always finds excuses to reject me, and even his face is stingy, and he doesn't allow me to see it. Well, I've got my own way of making you fall in love with me. Anyway, we've already spent some time, so why not spend some more time. Let each other truly fall in love. β
His hand fell on the phoenix crown, and he said softly: "You stole into the Tianqian Palace that day and saw me?" Are you satisfied with your husband's appearance? But I still don't know what my wife's face looks like, tonight, let me take a good look at you. β
Mei'er gently held the hand of the Emperor of Heaven, took a hard breath, and said word by word: "You have seen me, Hexi, you have seen me many years ago." Have you forgotten? β
The Emperor of Heaven was stunned, Mei'er in his arms was trembling slightly, and an indescribable chill suddenly rose in his heart: "I've seen you?" Many years ago? β
Mei'er held back tears gushing out, that year I was still a little girl who didn't rhyme with the world, I met a very handsome, very powerful young man, he gave me a jade pendant, told me, I must stay on my body.
"Do you remember, that year, on that barren ruin, that little girl who didn't know anything? You asked me if I dared to go in with you, you said you would take me around the Heavenly Domain, and you left me a piece of jade pendant. But in the end, you left me alone outside the canyon...... Hexi, do you know who I am now? β
Taking advantage of the moment when the Emperor was stunned, Mei'er suddenly drilled out of the crook of his arm like a soft and smooth little loach, and the Emperor of Heaven still maintained a hugging posture and did not move, Mei'er did not dare to look at him, turned her head and ran away towards the mountain.
