222. Chapter 222

The mountains are high and the waters are long, and the years are quiet.

On the huge Panlong platform, everything seems to be far away from me, only the silver-white and purple-eyed boy, no! It was a silver-haired and purple-eyed man standing quietly on the high platform, his thin lips pursed, and his eyes fell on me depressedly.

I stopped abruptly and stood in place, neither advancing nor retreating, not knowing what to do.

Yexue on the high platform looked at me like this, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, and she actually raised her feet step by step to the bluestone steps, and slowly walked down the high platform step by step.

There was a gasping sound all around, and the ceremony after the closure has always been a woman who is about to become the queen to walk up this high step alone and walk to the emperor's side, indicating that she is willing to compete with the emperor and bear this great country together. At this moment, Yexue unexpectedly walked down the high stone steps by herself, and the princes and ministers sitting there couldn't help but start to talk about it, but Yexue didn't seem to have heard it, with a bright smile on the corner of her mouth, and walked carefully towards the high platform step by step.

Ye Xue's right leg was smashed by the burned beam in the fire to save me, until now his feet are still slightly lame, his heart trembles unconsciously every time he takes the next step, I want to open his mouth to let him not go down, but I don't have that qualification, today is his post-sealing ceremony, I'm just a widowed princess, to say that the good thing is the aunt who raised him, and the bad thing is the widow who eats and drinks in the palace, what qualifications do I have to open my mouth?

The chatter around gradually dissipated with Ye Xue's firm steps, as if everything in this world was not in his eyes, and all his purpose at the moment was to walk down the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, this concentration, even the guests in the room were aware of it, and they only felt touched by an indescribable atmosphere, and they all quieted down.

I wanted to go, I wanted to hurry up to my position under the high platform, but my feet couldn't take a step, I always felt reluctant, reluctant to hand over Yexue to another woman like this, and reluctant to leave him alone on the steps like this, but I couldn't do anything, I could only stand stupidly and look stupidly.

After a long time, the sky was covered by a large cloud and the bright sun was suddenly covered tightly, and the boy finally walked down the last step under the silent gaze of everyone.

From beginning to end, from the time the night snow appeared, to the time he walked down the steps step by step, knowing that finally he walked in front of me, his eyes have been quietly enveloping me, as if all of them were not in his eyes, except for me!

I suddenly felt panic, a suspicion rose in my mind, I staggered back two steps to escape from here, but before I could turn around, my wrist was grabbed by the night snow in front of me.

I looked at him in horror, his eyes fiery and stubborn, and he looked at me silently but steadfastly.

"Let go of me!"

I whispered to him in a trembling voice, terrified.

"It's too late, little aunt, you can't escape me!"

Yexue's voice was low and hoarse, not at all like a teenager's voice, but it made my whole body tremble violently.

"We are aunts and nephews, what do you want these princes and ministers here to think, what do the people of Beiyang think, and what do the people of the other two countries think!"

I lowered my voice and persuaded him, the more nervous and scared my heart became, the more sober my brain became, desperately analyzing the pros and cons for Yexue.

"I don't care, I told you from the beginning, I don't care!"

The boy's face was full of desperate persistence, and I suddenly remembered that when I first saw him eight years later, I had rejected him on this ground, and that he had told me in the same way as he is today, with stubborn eyes in his eyes: "If there is one person in this world who opposes it, I will slaughter one of them; If a hundred oppose it, I will slaughter a hundred. If all the people are against it, I will slaughter the whole world! ”

"You don't have amnesia!"

"Never!"

"You have already planned it!"
