Chapter 37: Anger

The ceremonial officer reminded awkwardly, "Your Majesty."

Li Chongzhao gently took Meng Yu's hand, and she borrowed her strength to stand beside him. Before she could feel the temperature, the hand had already let go of hers.

Meng Yu didn't see it, and nodded to the ceremonial officer.

The ceremonial officer pulled his throat with vision, and his deep voice echoed in this palace: "Kneel."

One after another, the courtiers and the servants under the stone steps knelt down.

But one of them did not kneel alone.

The ceremonial officer glanced at the man beside him, and the guard hurried down the steps and kicked the man in the leg hard.

His legs and feet seemed to be inconvenient, and he was crooked, but he didn't even frown, and his back was straight.

The guard drew his sword.

But I heard a chuckle coming from the steps: "What's wrong with Your Majesty's people?"

The man had scars all over his face, but he was obsessively looking at a phantom that could not be seen at all.

The light smeared on his face, and for a moment, he couldn't seem to see clearly.

The guard with the knife was about to make the next move, but was taken aback.

It turned out that the person who did not kneel before untied his sword heavily at this time, and slammed it into the floor tiles, and a crack opened. He knelt down and kowtowed without weight.

The guard frowned, but saw a tear on the ground.

The tears were light and shallow, and they dried on the ground in just a few moments, leaving not even a trace, making people feel that they had never appeared.

The guard, puzzled, put away his knife and inexplicably stepped aside.

The man knelt on this knee, stood up again, and drew his sword without the eyes of others.

Meng Yu looked at Shen Mu's figure, and a shallow smile rose at the corner of her mouth.

——

The palace bell rang one after another, and the wind blew all over the body.

More than a dozen overseers pulled the chains and walked in the direction of the main hall.

The chain was heavy, and when I looked in the direction of the chain, it was a thin woman who was locked up.

That can't be called human anymore.

She said yes, but in fact she was half-dragging and half-dragging.

His hands and feet were chained, and he was bound with thin ropes. The rope had left streaks of blood on her body.

All of his clothes were covered with dried blood, and the whole person was like a fish out of water, trying to take a few breaths.

She walked slowly, but the prison guards ignored it, and reached out, and the chain on her hand struck a spark against the ground, and the wound on her hand cracked open and bled out.

In the distance, a man in black walked in her direction.

The overseers immediately lowered their eyebrows.

Shen Mu silently walked towards Xiao Li, took the chain from the prison guard's hand, and led her forward.

His pace slowed down a lot, Xiao Li regained some strength slightly, looked at the back in front of him, but smiled: "Are you the one who came to see me off for the last ride?"

The back was unheard of, and walked forward silently.

For a long time, there was only a cold voice: "Wrong."

Wrong......

What's wrong?

Or, is everything wrong......

She shook her head, the sun pierced her eyes, but tears rolled down unconsciously.

——

Meng Yu stood on the edge of the tall ding, looked at some blurry images in the distance, turned her head and said softly to Li Chongzhao: "Your Majesty, it's here."

Li Chongzhao followed her gaze, but his heart tingled.

Is it her?

It's only been a month, why does it seem like several lifetimes?

Was that really the person he once held in his arms?

He looked down at his trembling hands, how much blood were stained with these hands? Now, is it reaching out to the people he loves the most?

Meng Yu quietly covered his hands, and his eyes were full of determination: "Your Majesty, don't be merciful to monsters, even if it's for the sake of the queen mother, you should be ruthless."

He looked at the beautiful woman beside him This time, he didn't withdraw his hand.

——

Step by step, she finally walked to him.

I have come for you.

Xiao Li looked at the two figures, and the numb heart began to hurt fiercely again.

She did not stand firm and fell to her knees before them.

Shen Mu silently stepped aside.

Li Chongzhao didn't dare to look at her, and tilted his head: "Let's start."

Meng Yu laughed, stretched out her hand, and immediately a palace maid brought out a basin of water and poured it on Xiao Li's body.

She couldn't open her eyes. But I heard a burst of gasping cold air.

After blurring his vision, he realized that fish scales had grown on his exposed skin.

It turned out that the basin of water was the sea water of the Father's Sea.

Did he bring her here today to give an account to his courtiers? There have been several homicides, in order to stabilize people's hearts, is the best way to kill her, a monster who has killed people, in front of the people of the world?

The new emperor ascended the throne, his power was unstable, and he needed to stand up.

But it turns out, is that so?

She laughed so hard that the laughter pierced her eardrums, and she couldn't bear to hear it.

She had a one-ten-thousandth chance before, thinking that maybe he had relented, maybe he would take her to a place where there was no one and heal her injuries, or maybe he would explain his distress to her.

She thought that no matter what, as long as he explained, she would definitely forgive him.

And at this moment, all the illusions have torn apart the surface, revealing the most cruel truth in the world to show her.

She broke free unwillingly: "...... you said"

You said you would marry me.

You also said that as long as I am alone by your side in this life.

You have said so many things, but I only remember that sentence, and I live up to it in this life.

"I met you and fell in love with you, which is luck in itself, so I don't want to let go."

Who said that......

Li Chongzhao clenched his white bone fingers, took something out of his sleeve, and threw it coldly in front of her.

It was the spirit stone she gave him.

It was the only thing she had, and it was given to him, and it meant that her heart was given to him. And he doesn't want it now......

The sound of the soft landing shattered her memories.

But he still wanted to reach it, but the whole body was bound, heavy chains dragged on the ground, and there was a rootless electric shock on his body.

She felt that she had too many tears, and that she hated so much. Because then she can't see.

But when she reached the spirit stone at the last second, she stepped on her hand with a cold foot.

Her fingers were bent, wrapping around the stone, and at this moment, she was stepped on so hard by the other party that she only heard a "click", which was the sound of a broken bone.

Her brain was dizzy from pain, and she bit the corner of her lip, and her mouth was full of blood.

At this point, not begging for mercy is the only dignity she has left.

Li Chongzhao violently pushed the guard away and slapped him head-on: "Bastard!"

The guard hurriedly knelt on the ground, and just then he saw that the monster actually wanted to get close to His Majesty, and he came out for a while just to show his loyalty, but he didn't want to, and touched the scales.

Meng Yu glanced at it indifferently: "Your Majesty, why should you be angry, the people are not satisfied, and they will be punished." She raised her eyebrows slightly, and someone dragged the person down.
