The moonlight is like wine, but it is only cold, and what is carved into the bones is a deep feeling of cold pain.

In the Daming Palace.

"Mother...... No, Your Majesty, do you really want to wear this old dragon robe? Qinghe walked calmly, holding a somewhat worn dragon robe in his hand. Behind him was a little girl with her hair combed in a bun, innocently holding the crown and looking up at her.

Wu Cao looked back, looked at the pearl crown that had been darkened, smiled faintly, stretched out his hand, and stroked it gently: "Isn't it right?" Thinking about wearing them, those ministers can also be happy and remember him forever. ”

Slightly hooked the corners of the lips, and the side of the mouth, which was already a little deeply wrinkled, appeared with a clear and familiar smile.

Qinghe saluted and whispered yes, so he beckoned the little girl to come forward and dress her together.

The girl looked at her, her eyes were full of awe, which made Wu Cao very curious, looked at her and asked, "Wan'er seems to be afraid of me?" ”

"Don't be afraid." The little Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and said calmly: "Your Majesty didn't kill Wan'er back then, so you won't kill Wan'er again now." Wan'er is not afraid. ”

"Then why are you looking at me like that?" Wu Cao really thought this kid was interesting, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Because Wan'er thinks that Your Majesty is really an amazing woman." Wan'er blinked: "After my father died, my mother couldn't support everything for him, so she only lived with a poor widow's virtue." However, His Majesty can carry this Tang Dynasty for His Majesty the Emperor. Wan'er thinks Your Majesty is amazing! You can sacrifice everything for what you love! ”

In these few words, Minghe, who was walking inside, suddenly changed color, and was about to be reprimanded, but he heard Wu Cao laugh and said: "You said that I am carrying this country for him?" Do you still say that this country belongs to Tang? Even said that I could sacrifice everything for what I loved? You're a funny kid...... In this world, you are the only one who dares to say the four words of the Tang Dynasty in front of me. ”

She smiled happily, but for some reason, she asked Wan'er to look at it with pity, and said softly: "Then Your Majesty, is Wan'er the only one who is willing to say that Your Majesty is just for what she loves?" ”

Wu Cao stopped laughing, glanced at her, and said lightly: "Well, it's true that you're the only one." Even I wouldn't say anything like that. ”

She turned around and looked at herself in the dragon robe in the bronze mirror, her phoenix eyes were slightly hooked, and the corners of her lips smiled lightly: "Because even I don't think I'm guarding this country for him." ”

After a pause, she smiled again: "After all, this is the Great Zhou World." After all, I am now the son of the Great Zhou. ”

"Then why does Your Majesty still wear this old dragon robe? This garment is not suitable for Your Majesty! After all, His Majesty the Emperor is extremely tall, and His Majesty is really out of shape. Wan'er shook her head and said disapprovingly: "If Your Majesty said that this is to make those ministers remember His Majesty the Emperor more, then it would be even more strange - after all, didn't Your Majesty say that he guarded this country for himself?" ”

Wu Cao was silent, didn't speak, just turned around and looked at her fixedly. When she saw that Brother Qingming's whole body was cold, she said lightly: "Just what you just said, I can kill you a thousand times, do you know?" ”

"Wan'er knows." Shangguan Wan'er, who is fifteen years old, smiled faintly: "And it's not just Wan'er, it's Wan'er's mother, relatives, and they will all be punished and never recovered." ”

"So, how dare you say these things to me?" Wu Cao continued to smile: "Is it because I think I like you very much and won't really hurt you?" ”

"No, if Wan'er is really that stupid, so stupid that she provokes His Majesty Long Yan to be angry, then His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to save Wan'er if he is reincarnated. Wan'er dared to say these things because she knew that Her Majesty would like someone to say them, even if it ......."

Wan'er looked at her, and there was a soft light and pity in her eyes: "Even after these words are spoken, Your Majesty must immediately kill the person who said these words." ”

Wu Cao stopped laughing, looked at her quietly for a long time, a long time, and suddenly said, "You are a very interesting child." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

"You say these things because I know that after I say this, I won't kill you again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing."

"And you're not just saying this for me. And for the sake of my children...... Or is it a child, yes or no? ”

Wu Cao looked at her interestingly, thoughtful: "Which one will it be?" Ling Yue'er? First, she doesn't have such skills, and secondly, you have always seen her not very good. Dan'er? From what I can see, you don't seem to be obsessed with him. That's ......"

Shangguan Wan'er blushed slightly, raised her head and answered yes first, and then bowed and apologized.

Wu Cao's eyes widened: "That stupid boy? But he ...... in his heart."

Closed her mouth, for a long time, she looked at Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, all thoughtful. Eventually, she shook her head: "That's it, let it be." Following him is bound to be a bitter road. Don't you regret it? ”

"When Your Majesty chose His Majesty the Emperor, did you regret it?" Shangguan Wan'er didn't answer the rhetorical question, which made Wu Cao like this little girl for a while—now, no one could or dared to speak to her like this.

Those who can say this, dare to say this, the dead and the scattered, are no longer by her side.

So she nodded and made a decision in her heart: "No regrets." So now, I won't give you a chance to regret it. Have you figured it out? ”

"Figured it out."

Shangguan Wan'er's face was flushed, but her eyes were surprisingly bright: "Even if you are crushed to pieces, Wan'er is also willing to accompany His Royal Highness the King of Luling to walk out of a way forward." ”

"Good, good boy......"

Wu Cao was full of relief, but with some sadness: "It's hard for you." That stupid boy has such a stupid blessing......"

She paused, shook her head, and said, "In any case, if you choose this path, you will definitely not be able to look any further." Next, you can only look forward, one step at a time. Got it? ”

"Wan'er understands."

"Even if in the end, you will be broken to pieces, even if in the end, you will not be able to linger for thousands of years, and you must not regret it. Got it? ”

"Wan'er understands."

"Even if in the end, you give everything, that stupid boy still doesn't understand your feelings, only knows that you are fiddled with by that obscure girl, and even forget you in the cold palace, you can't have a chance to regret it again. Got it? ”

"Wan'er understands."

One sentence was more firmly understood, which made Wu Cao happy and sentimental, and after a while, he stroked her head and asked gently: "There are so many people in this world, why are you as stupid as me, and you insist on following this Li family's son......"

She shook her head and smiled, with tears in her eyes, but when Wan'er looked at it carefully, she blinked again, and she had regained her calm: "Spread the decree, get up, and ascend to the court." ”

Then, without looking back, she walked towards the door of the main hall that slowly opened.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at her from behind, but she only felt that the figure shrouded in sunlight was so thin and lightweight......

It seemed that a gust of wind could blow her away and go where she really wanted to go.

But in the next second, she felt that such a figure seemed to have a force that could support heaven and earth, and it was steady and stable, and it was safe and secure, walking towards her return and her ending.

Towards the beginning of the next life.
