Early the next morning, Dongfang Lie went to court and rescued a large group of courtiers from their cells, and as for those officials who took refuge in Dongfang Xu, most of them were demoted to commoners, and the court carried out reforms.

Dongfang Lie ordered the imperial examination to be held in South Vietnam to select talents. After the next dynasty, Dongfang Lie didn't even have time to change his court clothes, so he rushed to the Fengwu Pavilion where Shui Ningyan lived.

When he arrived at the dormitory, Dongfang Lie did not let his subordinates report, and quietly walked in alone. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Shui Ningyan and the two maids talking happily, and after listening carefully, Dongfang Lie paused, and his handsome face was darker than the bottom of the pot in an instant.

In the bed, Shui Ningyan is sitting in front of the dresser, Vanilla is helping her curl her hair, and Liuzhu is answering Shui Ningyan's question.

"Ryuzu, how is the matter for you to inquire?" As soon as he opened his eyes this morning, Shui Ningyan couldn't wait to know what Dongfang Lie was doing in the imperial study last night.

So she sent Liuzhu out to investigate.

"Master, this morning the slave and maid secretly asked the waiters on the errand in the imperial study, but they were all tight-lipped and didn't say whether they were alive or dead. So I didn't ask for any news. When Shui Ningyan heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said: "If there is no news, it is the best news." Vanilla and Ruzhu were at a loss, completely unaware of what their master meant.

Shui Ningyan then analyzed: "Do you think, the dignified king of Nanyue turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands into rain, but one night he was forced by a woman, what do you think he will do?" ”

"How?" Vanilla and Ruzu's eyes widened, still dazed. Shui Ningyan turned around at the moment, tapped on the heads of the two of them with hatred, and said: "Stupid, such a shameful thing, he naturally wants to tell everyone to keep it secret, is he still asking people to publicize it everywhere?" Vanilla and Liuzhu suddenly rolled their eyes, and Vanilla opened up: "Master, you are so right, why didn't the two of us think of it?" Liuzhu smiled and said proudly: "Of course, there are still a few people in the world who can compare to the intelligence of our young lady." Shui Ningyan pursed his lips and said, "Hey, you don't wear a top hat for me like that." Vanilla and Liuzhu smiled and said, "Master, we are telling the truth. ”

"Master, Shui Ninghan is really hateful, this time it is to let Shui Ninghan take a big advantage." Ruzhu said indignantly.

Last night, Shui Ninghan had murderous intentions towards his master, and it was really cheap to let this kind of woman spend one night with the king of Nanyue**.

"Forget it, Dongfang Lie didn't believe it, he offended Miss Ben, and let Shui Ninghan disgust him, he was to blame." Shui Ninghan said angrily.

Vanilla and Liuzhu suddenly sighed, and sympathized with Dongfang Lie. It can be seen that the king of Nanyue really likes his master, so he does not hesitate to damage his reputation.

"Master, I wonder what the King of Nanyue will do with Shui Ninghan?" At this time, Vanilla had already put her hair in a bun for Shui Ninghan, and picked a flying phoenix tassel hairpin from the jewelry box and inserted it into her black hair.

"Hmph, Shui Ninghan is to blame, I believe that Dongfang Lie will never let her go." As soon as Shui Ningyan's words fell, a handsome figure appeared in front of her.

"Your Majesty?" Vanilla and Liuzhu were both shocked, and they didn't expect Dongfang Lie to suddenly appear. What's more, it seems that the master has been saying bad things about others just now.

Thinking of this, Vanilla and Ruzhu cast a look of self-seeking at their master.

"Ahem...... Dongfang Lie, why are you here? An unnatural look flashed across Shui Ningyan's face.

At the same time, I was a little annoyed. Dongfang Lie, this guy actually came to her to eavesdrop, it really doesn't make sense.

"Why can't this king come, if this king remembers correctly, this should be the king's territory." When the water condensed smoke heard this, he suddenly froze.

Dongfang Lie is really a scoundrel. It's his territory, yes, but should he be eavesdropping?

"Okay, okay, this is your territory, that's right, Miss Ben will leave now." After speaking, Shui Ningyan turned his head to look at Vanilla and Liuzhu, and said in a deep voice,

"Go get the baggage." Dongfang Lie turned around to block the place where Vanilla and Liuzhu went, and said in a cold voice: "Slow, water condensation, you want to leave after you finish designing this king?" Dongfang Lie held back the anger in his heart, and said incomparably.

This woman is too much, even if she doesn't like him, she actually stuffed Shui Ninghan that woman into him, she really thinks of him as someone.

Shui Ningyan saw Dongfang Lie's face was extremely dark, and suddenly felt weak for a while, and said: "Dongfang Lie, where did Miss Ben design you, I just saw that Shui Ninghan was infatuated with you, so I just wanted to fulfill her." Dongfang Lie couldn't help sneering: "Shui Ningyan, you are so kind, you should know the thoughts of this king, then why don't you become this king?" The water condensation suddenly stopped.

At this moment, Dongfang Lie's deep eyes were quietly staring at Shui Ningyan, which was full of hurt and sadness.

Seeing this, Shui Ningyan suddenly felt as if he had done something hurtful. At that moment, she hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly into Dongfang Lie's eyes.

"I'm sorry, but this king didn't let you get your wish." The corners of Dongfang Lie's lips curled with a hint of mockery.

Shui Ningyan was shocked and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Shui Ninghan didn't climb onto the king's dragon bed." Dongfang Lie said coldly. Shui Ningyan was slightly stunned, and then frowned, scolding Shui Ninghan's stupidity in his heart.

Last night, she gave Shui Ninghan those incense very precious, and it was very difficult to refine, but she didn't expect Shui Ninghan to be unsuccessful, it was really a waste of her incense.

Seeing the smug look flashing in Dongfang Lie's eyes at this moment, she really wanted to give Dongfang Lie a slap.

"Water condensation, is this king so annoying to you? Would you rather put this king into the arms of a man you hate, than accept it? Dongfang Lie's gloomy voice carried a touch of sadness, which instantly moved the vanilla and Liuzhu on the side.

They are really worried about the South Vietnamese country. The king of Nanyue was very affectionate to his master, but the master turned a blind eye.

Thinking of this, the two sighed in their hearts. They couldn't help but guess: Maybe it was because the master already had other men in his heart, so he would not accept the affection of the king of Nanyue.

After all, there are too many excellent men around the master, such as Prince Yu, Prince Situ, and Prince Fusu...... Therefore, it is understandable that the master did not accept the king of Nanyue.

"Dongfang Lie, don't forget our previous agreement." Annoyance flashed in Shui Ningyan's eyes, and there was a burst of anger in his heart: What does Dongfang Lie mean, they agreed before, as long as she helps him regain the throne, Dongfang Lie can no longer pester him.

"Water condenses smoke, this king really regrets agreeing to this agreement at the beginning." The corners of Dongfang Lie's lips hooked up a bitter smile.

At the beginning, without the help of the power of Shui Ningyan, it might be difficult for him to regain the throne, and even lose the throne, but at least he still had the opportunity to pursue Shui Ningyan.

Now he has regained thousands of miles of country, but he will lose his most beloved woman forever.

"Dongfang Lie, you should know that there is no regret medicine in this world, and there is no possibility of doing it all over again." Shui Ningyan's expression was not shocked.

Shui Ningyan knew what she wanted, and she also knew that Dongfang Lie was not suitable for her, so she didn't invest in Dongfang Lie at the beginning, so now she can reject the other party very rationally.

I have to say that she has been in contact with Dongfang Lie for so long, and she sees and feels in her heart this man's kindness to her, but she has no affection for him as a man or woman, only as a confidant, for this, she can only say sorry to this man.

Dongfang Lie saw that Shui Ningyan's attitude was so resolute, and at the moment, the corners of his lips hooked up a mocking arc, and the sense of emptiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Perhaps, it's time for him to let go, this woman is more ruthless than anyone else, and there is no way for him not to give up.

"Well, since you are so resolute, this king will let you go." Dongfang Lie said in a deep voice for a long time.

At this moment, his heart didn't know how much it hurt, but he had no choice, so it was better to let this woman resent him.

Hearing this, Shui Ningyan was stunned for a moment, and then said with some uncertainty: "Dongfang Lie, is this true?" Dongfang Lie nodded and said, "Even if I keep your people, I can't keep your heart, so this king has decided to let you go." Seeing a flash of joy flashing in Shui Ningyan's eyes, Dongfang Lie's eyes dimmed suddenly, and he pretended to be unharmed and said, "However, the queen's seat will always be kept for you." Hearing this, a ripple instantly appeared on his originally calm face.

No matter how rational she was, Dongfang Lie's affectionate words still touched her heartstrings.

"Okay, this king has left beforehand, and the gate of Nanyue will always be open for you. Take care. Dongfang Lie's words fell, and he left without looking back.

Walking out of Fengwu Pavilion, Dongfang Lie glanced back and muttered: "Shui Ningyan, forgive this king for not being able to say goodbye to you, because I am afraid that I will not be able to control and change my mind......" After Dongfang Lie left, Shui Ningyan felt inexplicable in his heart for some reason.

When she calmed down, she turned her head to see that Vanilla and Ruzhu were already in tears.

"What's going on with you two?" Shui Ningyan said in surprise.

"Master, it's so touching."

"That is, the true confession of Nanyue just now made the tears of his subordinates flow unconsciously." At this time, Vanilla and Ruju said as they wiped their tears.

Shui Ningyan's mood suddenly became even lower, and she pretended to be angry and said, "Okay, since Dongfang Lie has moved you, then you two can simply stay here." As soon as these words came out, Vanilla and Liuzhu thought that Shui Ningyan was really angry, and their faces suddenly changed with fright, so they hurriedly said: "Master, you can't do without the two of us!" The slave swears to follow the master to the death! Seeing the panicked appearance of the two, Shui Ningyan said: "I'm teasing you, hurry up and pack your luggage, let's go." When Vanilla and Liuzhu heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in their hearts that they were almost scared to death by their master.
