Chapter 504: His Choice
That's when it happened.
Qi Zhen has no way out.
After all, they have come to a desperate situation, and there is no chance of survival.
But Qi Zhen had no intention of letting go of Li Yuanli.
"As long as you let go of Yuanli, I will promise to withdraw from the army, the emperor of Li is still you, everything that should be yours is still yours. I will leave here with Yuan Li and never return to the country of Li. Li Yousheng threw the sword in his hand and said seriously.
He almost gritted his teeth and said it, using up all the courage and responsibility in his life. He gave up everything for the sake of Yuanli.
"Yousheng." Li Yuanli had already cried into tears, how much she wanted to throw herself into his arms at the moment, but she had no choice, she was caught by Qi Zhen, Qi Zhen's long sword was on her neck, as long as she moved a little, there would be a blood mark on her white neck.
Xia Ye took a step forward and also promised: "Your Majesty, I am Xia Ye, the palace master of Jiang Guoyun Palace, I believe you have also heard of the strength of Yun Palace, these elite soldiers of Nanjing also obey my command, I now promise on behalf of Yun Palace and Nanjing that I will withdraw my troops today, and I will never step into Li Country again." Our goal has always been to rescue Yuanli, and we don't want to embarrass you, let alone Xiao want to take the throne. β
The throne is not such an important thing to them at all, they are all people of temperament, who only follow their own hearts and follow the path they want to take.
But Qi Zhen didn't believe what they said, he seemed to have fallen into a demon, and retreated to the edge of the cliff step by step with Yuan Li.
"Don't!" Li Yousheng puffed and fell to his knees. The man has tears and does not flick, but at this moment, he looked at the two people on the edge of the cliff with tears in his eyes, and his eyes were cautiously desperate, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the two people on the edge of the cliff would be gone.
Li Yuanli also cried into tears. It was at this moment, when she was on the verge of death, that she smiled sadly: "Brother Yousheng, even if you have done so much for me, I still don't know if you love me." I'd like to hear from you personally, okay? β
"I love you, I've always loved you!" Li Yousheng cried out.
"With your sentence, that's enough. Thank you, Brother Yousheng. "Li Yuanli has made up her mind to die. She suddenly grabbed Qi Zhen's long sword and wiped it off her neck.
Natsuba closed her eyes. The end is irretrievable.
But at this final moment, Li Yuanli's long sword did not cut his neck.
Qi Zhen smiled sadly: "Yuan pear." You only know that Li Yousheng loves you, in fact, I love you too. β
His hand touched Yuan Li's face, his eyes contained indescribable feelings, and his voice was low and deep, revealing endless sadness: "Yuan Li, do you know? Everyone thinks that I took you away and wanted to make you the queen in order to hold you hostage and embarrass Li Yousheng. Actually, that's just a faΓ§ade.
I love you, the moment I saw you as a child, I loved you dearly. But you only have Li Yousheng in your eyes. As long as he's there, you can't see me, and you don't even bother to say a word to me.
I can't control my heart, I want to get you. But even if I ascend to the throne of God and Li Yousheng becomes my defeated subordinate, you still can't see me. Even if you are the queen, you have to threaten you with Li Yousheng before you agree. My heart hurts, but it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that you are already my queen. β
Just like Concubine Qi used her way to get her love, I also used my way to get you.
He smiled sadly: "Yuan Li, it's actually okay, I'm not nothing, I still have you." As I said, if the kingdom is broken, it will perish with you. Now, it's time. β
Now that we have come to this point, the country is ruined, and the king is defeated. Even if Li Yousheng generously said that he disdained the throne and gave it back to him, the meaning was no longer the same.
There was no turning back for him.
With a flick of his sword, he stabbed himself in the abdomen. Blood flowed down the tip of the sword, and it was also stained on Yuan Li's body, hands, and face.
This drastic change frightened everyone present.
Li Yousheng hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Yuan Li's hand, trying to bring her to safety. But Yuan Li shook off his hand and wanted to hug Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen pushed her hard and pushed her into Li Yousheng's arms, while he held the long sword and jumped into the endless abyss.
"Don't!" Li Yuanli lay on the edge of the cliff and screamed wildly.
But all that was left for her was the poignant echo and the last smile that Qi Zhen left her.
"I love you more than anything else in this world."
Therefore, I am willing to fulfill you.
Goodbye, Yuanli, I hope that in the next life, you will notice me first......
Qi Zhen died. Li Yousheng naturally ascended the throne as emperor. Changed the name of the country to Zhengyuan and proclaimed himself Emperor Ming.
A great purge was carried out in the internal affairs of Lebanon, and all those loyal to Li Yousheng were added to the rank of knight, and all those loyal to Qi Zhen were punished in various ways, but he was always merciful, there was no bloodshed, and the worst sin was only exiled for thousands of miles.
Xia Ye was awarded the Heavenly Master of the Protector as the Palace Master of the Cloud Palace, and was given the sword of Shang Fang, and was given the privilege of being able to enter and leave freely in the Li Kingdom and not kneel when seeing the king.
Soon after, a news broke out in the palace of Li Guo that Empress Pear of the former dynasty had been depressed since the death of the former emperor, and finally committed suicide.
Emperor Ming was grateful for her infatuation, chased the wind and mourned, and buried her and the former emperor in the imperial mausoleum.
Since then, the matter about Emperor Ming and the empress of the previous dynasty has finally come to an end, and no one has mentioned it in the Li State again.
After that, several things that plagued Xia Ye were also unraveled one by one, and her originally depressed mood slowly calmed down.
The first thing is about the canal.
Xiaoqu is a paradise, but its territory still belongs to the Li Kingdom. It's good that it wasn't exposed before, but now that it's exposed, it's going to be brought to the table.
After Li Yousheng asked the ins and outs, he said very generously: "Since Xiaoqu wants to **, then **." They also live according to their old way of life. But under the protection of our country. I hereby swear that I will never interfere with everything in the canal. In addition, I also gave Xiaoqu the name and privilege of 'autonomous region'. β
This news made Xiaoqu very happy, and while thanking Li Yousheng, he admired Xia Ye as a goddess.
Xiaoqu has finally become a well-known and upright country.
Then came the wedding of Bai Qi and Lian Chao.
Because Nanjing helped Li Guo win the war, Xia Ye had promised to hold a grand wedding for Lian Chao and Bai Qi before.
Li Yousheng recognized Bai Qi as his sister, and let Bai Qi marry to Nanjing as the royal princess of Li State and the patriarch of Xiaoqu, becoming the only princess of Nanjing.
Baili red makeup can no longer be used to describe their grand wedding.
