What does the blood-red mark on the arm represent?

The Emperor looked at Mei'er in silence, she had been lying on her chest, not looking up at him.

The corner of her eyes swept over the blush on her arm, and the Heavenly Emperor's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

He hooked his fingers, picked up Mei'er's jaw, and looked at Mei'er with a stunned face without saying a word.

"Have you had a question that has been in your mind for a long time?"

Mei'er's whole body trembled slightly, tears fell uncontrollably, she smiled astringently, her small mouth opened and opened, and finally she sipped it tightly.

The Emperor of Heaven let go of his fingers and let go of his hand, and Mei'er shook it lightly, broke away from his embrace, and got into the futon.

The Emperor of Heaven turned his head to look at the landscape satin painting, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

"Mei'er, in fact, in the past, although we have been married for many years, we have never performed the ceremony of husband and wife"

The brocade embroidered with the dragon and phoenix crossed the neck trembled, and the emperor's eyes were blurred, that year, I had wandered outside the Qinse Palace for most of the night, watching the night light in the palace ignite, looking at the lonely back of you reflected on the glass window paper, but I was obsessed and dull, and finally turned away, leaving you alone in this strange palace to wait for a night.

"On the day you and I got married, the dragon stone carving that had been silent suddenly sounded an alarm, I didn't know that you were my bride at that time, I was extremely disgusted by the rules of this phoenix crown marriage, so I took this opportunity to sneak out of the palace on the second day of marriage, and put you alone in the palace for more than two years."

Mei'er came out of the quilt and looked at the emperor with a sad face.

The Emperor of Heaven turned his head to look at Mei'er, the flush on her face had faded, and her bright eyes were full of astonishment and shyness, the Emperor of Heaven held her cold little hand, Mei'er, tonight, I told you the pain and regret in my heart over the years, I knew that I was wrong at the beginning, it was I who failed you, I failed a God-given relationship, this hundred years of waiting is God's punishment for my stupidity, and your soul can flow in the heavens, I find it, it is God's mercy on me.

"After I returned to the palace, I still couldn't let go of the girl I met on the ruins, in fact, that was you, and I didn't know it, I walked into the palace with a reluctant heart, when you stood in front of the satin painting, when you saw me, you were stunned for a long time, and then you saluted me and said: 'The emperor is well.'" ”

Mei'er opened her mouth, and the Heavenly Emperor sighed faintly, and said, "Over the years, I have always wanted to hear this sentence from your mouth again, 'The emperor is well', and that day, I finally heard it." Mei'er, at that moment, I felt like a world away, you finally came back. ”

Mei'er sat up on the bed, the brocade quilt slipped down, only to feel the coolness, the emperor smiled lightly, reached out and sucked the yellow dress resting on the edge of the glazed pool into his hand, and put it on Mei'er by the way, and said with a low smile: "Actually, it's okay not to wear it, between husband and wife, there is no need to be afraid of these,"

Mei'er's face was hot, she tightened her clothes, and said angrily: "Then why are you dressed so neatly?" Why can't you be honest with me? ”

Heavenly Emperor Ha Luha smiled, made a gesture to undress, and said in an ambiguous voice: "Do you want to see it?" Then the husband will let you see enough. ”

Mei'er was startled, and hurriedly pressed his undressing hand, and said, "You just said that I need to cultivate my mind and nature during this period, I listen to you, don't come to spoil my cultivation." ”

The Heavenly Emperor laughed and said, "Your cultivation will always be bad in my hands in the future." ”

Mei'er's heart jumped, she coughed low to hide the unnaturalness on her face, and asked with words, "What happened later?" ”

The Emperor of Heaven was silent, his voice turned to Xiao Suo, and he said in a low voice; "You asked me at that time, Emperor, do you really treat me?"

Mei'er snorted, curious about how the emperor at that time answered.

The Emperor's eyes turned to the satin painting and smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was very proud and persistent, and I pushed the door away immediately after you rejected it—I missed the first opportunity for you and me to recognize each other. ”

Mei'er held her head, she had no memory of what the emperor said, and listening to his painful tone, it seemed that she regretted this matter for a long time later.

"Emperor, how did you answer at that time?"

The Emperor clenched his fist at the end of his nose to hide the embarrassment in his heart, and naturally I would not reply that I would treat each other sincerely, and I did not expect you to ask such a question.

Mei'er waited for a moment, her eyes darkened, and she said in a low voice: "What about later?" ”

The Emperor of Heaven stretched out his hand to hold Mei'er's hand, and said: "At that time, I was too persistent, since I met you on the ruins of Jinling that year, I can no longer tolerate others in my heart, but the marriage of the phoenix crown is the ancient rule of the heavenly palace, and the emperors of the past dynasties must follow this rule, although I am extremely resistant, but I still followed this agreement after the end, but I didn't expect that you are the wife of the phoenix crown to me, which led to the separation of you and me several times later, you are trapped alone in the deep palace, and the mood is inevitably depressed. ”

Mei'er was surprised: "You don't know that it's me?" What about me? I don't know if it's you? ”

The Emperor of Heaven had a bitter face, and he really wanted to cry without tears.

"You don't know Lu Dao, you are wearing the phoenix crown handed down from ancient times on your head, you and I don't know which one Lu Dao married is the one you love in your heart, we were all out-and-out fools at that time!"

With a long arm, he hugged Mei'er into his chest, Mei'er supported the Emperor's chest with both hands, and shook her head in disbelief: "Could it be that in those years, you and I have never seen each other's faces clearly?" ”

The Heavenly Emperor said abruptly: "Yes." ”

"It's ridiculous, Emperor, why do you have to follow this rule? Since you have followed, why not uncover the phoenix crown and take a look at your wife's face? You don't even have the slightest curiosity? ”

Mei'er stopped, why did the nobles at the top of the Nine Heavens choose a partner in such an incredible way? And it is also a rule set in ancient times, that is to say, those emperors in the past, without exception, gave their lifelong happiness to a phoenix crown endowed with aura to choose.

The Emperor of Heaven no longer spoke, just hugged her and left her alone to guess.

Finally, Mei'er brought up the doubts in her heart: "Why do you have to set such a strange rule?" The emperors of the Heavenly Palace have followed this rule, but if the wife they marry back is not to their liking, wouldn't it be a mistake in the lives of the two? It's like"

Mei'er stroked the intricate patterns on the placket of the Emperor's clothes, and said in a low voice: "It's like you and I don't meet each other, and we have missed it for a hundred years." ”

The Emperor of Heaven sighed faintly: "It is recorded in the annals of history that the emperors and queens of all dynasties are Qin Se and Ming. Love to old age, this has become an irreversible law, but I am too persistent, I don't want to believe this allusion, and in the end, it has led to the separation of you and me, for this matter, I really want to beat myself hard. ”

Mei'er couldn't help but smile and said, "You must have blamed yourself for a long time later, right?" ”

The Emperor of Heaven laughed self-deprecatingly, and said in a muffled voice: "I am in vain as the lord of the heavenly domain, but I have no eyes, when you and I got married, it was led by the phoenix crown, but I always thought of the one I met on the ruins in my heart, and I never looked at the wife standing beside me, and even on the wedding night, I did not enter the Qinse Palace, and then I did not say goodbye." ”

Mei'er sat up straight and said, "Where did you go then?" Have you been there for a long time? ”

The Heavenly Emperor spread out his palm, a purple light swept by, and an interface appeared in his palm, he lowered his eyes and looked at it for a while, and said, "I went to your family's territory and stayed there for a while. ”

Mei'er took a closer look, and inside the interface was the open wilderness, on which some sparse weeds and dwarf trees grew, and a figure approached from the other side of the wilderness, she squinted her eyes and recognized it for a while, and called in a low voice: "Qing'e! ”

The Emperor waited for her to look at it for a while before hiding the interface, Mei'er rubbed his warm palm, and said, "Since you have this ability, you can peep into the world in the palm of your hand, so why do you have to run there in person?" ”

The Heavenly Emperor smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to hug Mei'er, and said: "At that time, that land still contained the resentment of the sky, our two families had been fighting for too long, and the strength of your family has always been on a par with the Heavenly Palace, and it is a matter of a hundred years to officially include the West in the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace." ”

Mei'er nodded thoughtfully, and said softly: "Hexi, since you are bent on ending the grievances between the two families forever, you can kill our sisters with one sword, then don't you clean your hands and feet and never be entangled?" ”

The Emperor's hand tightened, Mei'er only felt that her breath was stagnant, and she hurriedly shouted: "Hexi, you are too strong." ”

The Heavenly Emperor's eyes were gloomy, caressing his delicate face, and said in a dumb voice: "Actually, what you said is also reasonable, but why have I never had this idea?" Mei'er, remember that I told you that when I was seven years old, I witnessed my mother's heartbreak and death due to anxiety, and from that moment on, I decided to put an end to this old feud in my life forever, and to live in peace with the descendants of your family in the future, without dispute, but that year, my father told me that the family that had been feared by us for many years had been dispersed, and I was lost for many years. ”

Mei'er pursed her lips and didn't say a word.

Although she accepted her identity as the daughter of that family, she had been raised in the Ice and Snow family since she was a child, and her feelings for that legendary family in her heart were far less intense than Qing'e's.

But that land is the place of her roots, and she naturally doesn't want to see her permanently barren, Mei'er was silent for a while, and said: "That is the past a hundred years ago, and there is no way to investigate it, since you promised to bring that land back to life, Hexi, I have been indifferent to this matter in my heart, you don't have to blame yourself." ”

The Heavenly Emperor's expression showed a smile and he sighed softly: "It's good that you can let go." ”

Mei'er suddenly raised her eyes to look at the Emperor of Heaven, hesitated for a while, and said, "Hexi, did I worry about this matter back then?" We must have had an argument, didn't we? ”
