Chapter 49: Come With Me
Zhao Nan.
This name floated in the minds of Liu Ning and Tang Changyu at the same time, they thought that he was afraid of separation, so he didn't say goodbye, at this moment, they were all afraid that he had done something stupid. They understood Zhao Nan's feelings for Wanyan, maybe he was about to leave forever, but the consequences were unimaginable. Liu Ning looked at Tang Changyu uneasily, Tang Changyu may have thought of this, so he could only pat Liu Ning's shoulder to express comfort, and it was useless to think too much at this time.
Soon they arrived at the palace, which was still the same as before, but it had a cold aura.
Liu Ning and Tang Changyu walked into the main hall, and the scene in front of them surprised them, Li Shimin sat there with a pale face, and the kneeling at the bottom were Zhao Nan and Wanyan, the two of them had blood stains on their bodies, and they looked like they were scars from fighting, and they also had scars from torture. Liu Ning and Tang Changyu glanced at each other, and they had probably guessed what was going on.
Li Shimin's voice was calm but with a murderous aura, he raised his eyes and swept over the two kneeling people, and said to Liuning and Tang Changyu: "It's not that I haven't given them a chance, you see, they are looking for death by themselves." ”
"The emperor's ......" Liuning and Tang Changyu seemed to be about to intercede at the same time, but what they didn't expect was that Zhao Nan opened his mouth first: "Your Majesty, Weichen has nothing to say, but he begs to die." ”
Liu Ning and Tang Changyu didn't know what was going on, but Zhao Nan was disheartened and had no nostalgia for life. These words fell on Li Shimin's ears, but they seemed like ridicule and provocation. Li Shimin sneered slightly and said, "I don't need you to say it, I will satisfy you, ask and kill in three days, drag it down!" ”
Zhao Nan didn't want to resist at all, he only turned to the direction of Tang Changyu and Liuning, shook his head gently, signaled them not to speak for himself anymore, and then stopped looking at anyone, just stared at Wanyan, his eyes lingered on her body, and his expression was lingering, until his figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight, but Wanyan didn't look back at him from beginning to end.
"You two go down too." Li Shimin sighed, "I called you here to remember the past feelings, to give you one last chance to meet, if there is anything you can ask him yourself, I still have something to say to Wanyan." When Liu Ning and Tang Changyu heard this, they had no choice but to retire.
When he came to the prison and saw Zhao Nan, he didn't seem surprised by this, and Liu Ning asked anxiously: "Zhao Nan, what happened?" Why, you went to her, didn't you? ”
Zhao Nan nodded flatly, which let them know what was going on.
After Tang Changyu's mansion was drunk, Zhao Nan was the first to wake up, looking at these friends, his heart was still empty, did he really leave like this? Is it true that I can't get an answer from her in this life, so I'm going to be like this? Unwilling or disappointed, Zhao Nan decided to listen to the final answer.
But he didn't know that this was a trap that was luring him into the game step by step.
Zhao Nan is naturally familiar with the terrain in the palace, but he hasn't been to a place like the Cold Palace once. The emperor is willing to be so tolerant of Wanyan, Zhao Nan naturally understands that this is a favor beyond ordinary concubines, and competing for a lover with an emperor is tantamount to a moth to a fire, but he still wants to give it a try.
There were not many guards around the cold palace, Zhao Nan easily sneaked in, and when she saw Wanyan, she was still the same as before, but she looked a lot thinner, she turned her back to Zhao Nan, and such a lonely back made Zhao Nan feel extremely distressed, she was as calm as a bay of stagnant water, and she couldn't make any waves.
"Wanyan ......" Zhao Nan's voice was a little hoarse, this time he didn't call her mother politely, but called her by her name, which was his dream all along.
Wanyan turned her head to look at him, full of surprise, and stood up suddenly, a little emotional but had to lower her voice, and said, "Why are you here?" Isn't it dead! ”
Zhao Nan grabbed Wanyan's hand and held it tightly in his hand, the last hope ignited him, and he asked eagerly: "Wanyan, are you willing to go with me, we are wandering the world, you don't have to be bound to this place anymore, you can only wait for death in this cold palace, follow me, I will give you the best." ”
Wanyan seemed to be frightened and retreated again and again, but Zhao Nan kept holding her hand. Wanyan never doubted the love of the man in front of her, what she doubted was herself, for her, from the moment she entered the palace, fate was no longer in her own hands.
Fortunately, she was lucky to meet two men who really loved her, but she never really faced their feelings, and only regarded them as a life-saving straw, grabbing one and never letting go until she sank with them. So she doesn't know who she loves, and whether she will love it or not.
Zhao Nan asked her in an almost pleading tone: "Do you love me or him?" ”
Wanyan took another step back, shook her head, and said, "I don't know. ”
This sentence shattered Zhao Nan's last hope, but before Zhao Nan could be sad, he heard the sound of commotion outside. Someone came, but Zhao Nan didn't know that Li Shimin had been waiting for a long time, this was a gamble set by the emperor for him, and the bet was his life.
Zhao Nan didn't have time to think about it, there were more and more people around, and he couldn't be sure if these people would kill Wanyan as well, so he could only do his best to protect Wanyan and run out. Wanyan didn't expect the situation in front of her, the whole person was stunned, and she could only let Zhao Nan pull it, in a scene of sword light and sword shadow and blood, she seemed to see countless swords passing by, and finally fell on Zhao Nan.
Zhao Nan was injured and outnumbered, and the two of them were still caught by the people sent by Li Shimin. was brought to Li Shimin, Zhao Nan only said that all this was his fault and had nothing to do with Wanyan, and all the faults were borne by him. After that, he was silent, Li Shimin tortured the two, and Zhao Nan never said another word.
Such silence completely annoyed Li Shimin, once he and Zhao Nan and Tang Changyu were brothers on the battlefield side by side, for Li Shimin, who lacked love, this friendship was precious, and Li Shimin, who had long been aware of Zhao Nan's thoughts, never said it. Even when he united with his most beloved woman to rebel, he listened to Tang Changyu's advice and gave him one last chance, a chance to live.
But now, as an emperor, his bottom line has been challenged again and again, and he must use his own rights, the rights of life and death in his hands, to show his identity as the lord of the world. No matter who intercedes this time, he will not be soft-hearted anymore, and the former brotherhood is now overdrawn.
It's just that Li Shimin's only weakness is that he can't attack that woman, and he has no way to be ruthless and punish this woman he loves but always betrays him.
