Only the emperor and Chu Tiankuo's father and son were left in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Seeing that the emperor Chu Tiankuo looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, the emperor went straight to the point and said: "There are no outsiders now, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Father, something big happened to Bixiang Villa a while ago, do you know?"

Finally mentioned it. The emperor's heart thumped, and he felt a little ashamed. After the incident, he imagined how he would deal with it if the emperor questioned him.

When he was there, the emperor was calm. He disdained to tell lies: "I ordered this. I wanted to use this to break you apart from the cigarette. It's just that I don't know why the victim became a vein of water. ”

Chu Tiankuo looked at his father a little helplessly, and his eyes were full of thick complicated meaning: "Father, do you know that this move will ruin the incense?" Have you ever thought about it for your sons? Do you know how much pain Erchen's heart has? ”

A series of questions were asked, leaving the emperor speechless. In this matter, he is sorry for the emperor. The emperor has been living in exile since he was a child, and he has never fulfilled the responsibilities of a father, and the deep guilt in his heart is pouring in.

"Father, why are you struggling?"

The Emperor let out a low sigh, a deep sorrow locked between his eyebrows: "I just want to force her to leave you. You can marry whoever you want, but it can't be cigarettes. ”

Chu Tiankuo's clear eyes dimmed, and his voice was calm: "Why? ”

The emperor's face was as solemn as a marble statue, and he said solemnly: "You are the crown prince, the prince, and the future emperor of the Great Western Kingdom." Only a ruthless emperor can govern the world well. You love her so much that she will be your weakness. ”

"Father, son-in-law can give up the throne, and must not lose the incense. If the price of being an emperor is to be separated from her, the courtiers are willing not to be emperors. Chu Tiankuo pondered again and again before revealing what was in his heart.

The emperor roared: "What did you say? ”

Chu Tiankuo's expression was melancholy, and he knelt down with a 'plop', and tears flowed out of his stagnant eyes like spring water~.

"Father, son-in-law doesn't want to be a prince, let alone an emperor. You should be a retainer 24 years ago, you died in that fire, let your retainer go out of the palace to roam the rivers and lakes, okay? ”

The emperor bit his thin lip with a pale face, and his voice trembled: "Emperor, are you really willing to take the people of the world for the sake of cigarettes, you don't even want the throne?" ”

"Father, the son and son grew up in the folk since childhood, and have long been accustomed to the life of idle clouds and wild cranes. If you force your sons to stay in this palace, you will only ruin your sons. Is this what the Emperor wants? Chu Tiankuo said openly and honestly: "Erchen has a deep affection for the smoke and incense, which is deeper than the sea, and he is willing to do his best for her." ”

"You...... You've disappointed me so much! The Emperor's eyes were blank, his brows furrowed, and his gloomy face wrinkled in pain.

"Father, do you know how your sons have lived in the past 24 years?"

Next, Chu Tiankuo recalled that when he was a child, he practiced and endured hardships, and was bullied when he first entered the rivers and lakes. A while ago, he was framed and evaded pursuit everywhere.

Hearing this, the emperor was extremely sad, and it was his negligence that caused the emperor to fall into the suffering of the people. His guilt for the emperor is incomprehensible.

Both father and son wept.

Chu Tiankuo continued.

He and Yanxiang are childhood sweethearts, learn the same art, and experience bits and pieces together.

He and Yanxiang share weal and woe, life and death depend on each other, and they are both willing to give their lives for each other.

When he was poisoned, the incense never left and accompanied him to find a famous doctor. On the way, Yanxiang was bitten by a poisonous snake in order to save him and almost died.

The two of them shared hardships and hardships, which really moved the emperor fiercely.

The emperor's lips trembled, and his mood was extremely complicated: "These, why didn't you tell me earlier?" If I knew that Smoke Incense was very affectionate to you, I would not object to you being together. ”

Chu Tiankuo held back his tears and burst into laughter: "Did my father agree to marry his son?" ”

"I promised you to marry Yanxiang, and I sincerely bless you."

"Thank you, father!" Chu Tiankuo knelt and bowed three times: "Father, the son has no intention of the throne, ask the father and the emperor to make a holy decree, abolish the position of the prince of the son, and allow the son to walk the rivers and lakes." ”

"Good! I promise you. The emperor burst into tears: "I am not old, and I can still hold the Great Western Kingdom." I only hope that the emperor will come to the palace often to see me in the future. ”

"Father, please forgive your sons for being unfilial! In the future, the retainers will often come back to the palace to visit their father. ”

On that day, the father and son were in the palace of nourishing the heart, drinking and talking happily, and sleeping together.

In the palace of the loyal and brave king, Lan Ayayu heard that Chi Le refused the emperor's marriage and was thrown into the prison, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. As soon as she closed her eyes, all that came to mind was Chi Le's care and love for her.

Remembering that he was at the top of Yunwu Mountain before, he pointed to her overlooking a mansion, and he said that it would be our home in the future. At that moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

On that day, she asked him, "What if one day the emperor would give you a marriage?" He didn't take it seriously, he just said casually, it's a big deal.

Now it seems that this matter is not so simple, and it will be impossible to die.

She is reluctant to marry Chile again, but if she doesn't marry Lu Caier, it will kill him, and she is willing to let him live well. After thinking about it and thinking about it again and again, Lan Aya Yu decided to enter the palace to face the saint and save her husband's life.

After entering the palace and seeing the emperor, Lan Aya Yu expressed her willingness to let Lu Cai'er enter the Zhongyong Palace, and the emperor happily released Chi Le from the prison.

Knowing that Lan Ayayu made her own initiative and agreed to the emperor's marriage, Chi Le was really a little crying and laughing.

"Ayatama, I had a plan to get rid of this marriage, but you agreed. There's nothing I can do now. ”

Standing in the dark and looking at the two, Lu Caier was in a low mood. She is bent on marrying Chi Le, only seeking fame and nothing else. However, she really wanted to marry him as she wished, why wasn't she so happy as she expected?

Perhaps, what cannot be obtained forces people to think more about it.

The reason why she is standing here is that she and Lan Ayayu agreed, and Lan Ayayu is willing to help her ask Chi Le's thoughts.

Lu Caier promised Lan Aya Yu that if Chi Le didn't have a trace of ~ affection for her, she would never pester him again.

"What's your plan?" Lan Aya Yu was very surprised, and stared at him suspiciously with a pair of eyes: "Chu Tiankuo can't even get the matter of marrying Yanxiang, what can you do?" ”

Chi Le took out the death-free gold medal he carried with him and raised it in front of her: "This death-free gold medal is useless." ”

Lan Aya Yu glanced at him: "Okay, stop pretending." Lu Cai'er said that she was also your former friend, why should you be so ruthless to her? You give me chills like that. ”

"What do you mean by being good?" Chi Le's words were like a knife cutting Lu Caier's heart: "It's her wishful thinking that likes me, I'm just playing on the spot." ”

Something suddenly fell from his eye sockets, and coldly swept across Lu Cai'er's cheeks.

Lan Aya Yu has always been understanding, and said softly: "Since you are married, treat her well in the future." ”

"Are you serious?" Chi Le widened his eyes and looked at Lan Ayayu.

Is this still the Lan Ayayu he is obsessed with? Since she was with her, she forbade him to get close to other women for fear that he would be taken away.

Suddenly enlightened? Allowed him to take a concubine?

"Seriously, of course. I admire Miss Lu, she dares to love and hate, she is affectionate and righteous, and she is a bold person. She has a deep affection for you, you are not moved, but I am moved. ”

Lan Ayayu looked at Chi Le, and followed the temptation: "Do you really have no affection for her at all?" ”

Chi Le loves her so much that he can't bear to deceive: "I don't want to deceive you." I like her a little bit. However, I was afraid that you would dislike me and that you would leave me, so I had to be indifferent to her. ”

This answer seems to be expected by Lan Ayayu. Although her heart is a little sour, she is willing to tolerate him and Lu Caier.

When Lu Cai'er heard Chi Le's sincere words, she was so excited that she actually walked over from the shadows. "Do you really like me?"

At this moment, being peeked into his heart, Chi Le was a little embarrassed, as if he had been stripped of his clothes.

Lan Aya Yu is objective and fair, tolerant and generous: "Yes, you heard it right, he did admit it just now, he likes you." ”

"Sister, thank you for your fulfillment."

Lan Aya Yu smiled: "You're welcome. In the future, multiple people will take care of him, and I won't have to be so tired. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Chi Le and solemnly instructed: "I agree to this marriage." You have to be nice to her in the future, but you can't snub me too much. ”

Chi Le nodded violently, stretched out his left and right hands, and took the two beauties over happily.

On this day, King Yong'an and Xia Wenxuan visited the church and got married, and the entire palace was full of joy and excitement. Chile Shui Vein and they all came to the palace to drink wine, but they didn't see Chu Tiankuo and the incense of smoke.

Queen Su Fan didn't know that Chu Tiankuo had left the palace, and sent palace people to look around.

Later, she learned from Sikong Hua, the head of the guard, that Chu Tiankuo left the palace early in the morning. She sharply reprimanded Sikong Hua for not letting Chu Tiankuo out of the palace, and ordered the person to be recovered.

"There's no need to chase him back, just let him go."

The emperor's voice came from behind him, which made Su Fan a little confused. On such a happy day, King Yong'an got married, but the prince didn't attend the wedding?

The key was the emperor's attitude, which made her feel a little weird.

The emperor coughed helplessly, with a miserable smile on his face: "It was I who agreed to let him out of the palace." I have made a decree to depose him as crown prince. In the future, he will only be the son of Chu Tiankuo, not the prince Hong Chengye. ”

He has always felt guilty about the emperor's son Chu Tiankuo, and with the shame of the cigarette, he finally chose to fulfill the two of them.

If the two of them were forcibly left in the palace, they would be ruined.

The news came too suddenly, and Queen Su Fan didn't react for a while, and was stunned. How so? Obviously, the emperor had already made plans to pass the throne to Chu Tiankuo, why did he change his mind temporarily?

After retiring from everyone, the queen asked directly: "Your Majesty, depose the crown prince, who will inherit the throne in the future?" ”

The emperor smiled and comforted her: "I'm not old yet, besides, don't you have An'er?" ”

After Yanxiang came out of the palace, she wandered around the imperial city alone, and she didn't know what she was waiting for.

Perhaps, I just want to see him for the last time, simply say goodbye, and go our separate ways from now on.

Will he come to see her one last time?

The cold wind of the harsh winter made her shiver.

What should I do next?

Today is the big day when King Yong'an marries Xia Wenxuan, and the entire imperial city is lively, from the Manchu officials to the common people, everyone is happy.

Only her mood was very low.

"Smoke!"

When she was depressed, Smoke turned her head, and the familiar face of the senior brother was infinitely magnified in front of her.

"Big brother!"

When she first met him, she was overjoyed and excited. However, such joy is empty, like a multicolored bubble, which bursts all at once.

The smile on her face was fleeting, and she pursed her lips and said in a mocking tone, "Congratulations! Senior brother, you are about to become the groom's officer. Marrying three at once is really a blessing. ”

These sour words came out of the mouth of the cigarette incense, which made Chu Tiankuo cry and laugh a little. Before, in the Heart Nourishing Palace, looking at her calm and calm appearance, I thought that she had reined in her heart. It's only been two days, and her childlike heart is revealed again.

Chu Tiankuo took a few steps forward, put his arm around her shoulder with one hand, and knocked her on the back of the head with a Qingyun fan in the other: "Who said I was going to marry three, I only want to marry one in my life." ”

Yanxiang was a little annoyed: "It doesn't matter to me how many you want to marry, anyway, your father can't agree to you marry me." ”

"There will be a date later." She nudged him away and didn't look back.

Just one less word of you, she pretended to be stupid, and Chu Tiankuo was made laughed by her words and deeds.

He immediately leaped in front of her with a light skill, blocking her way.

Yanxiang just ran with his head down, ran too fast and suddenly bumped into Chu Tiankuo's arms, Chu Tiankuo ignored the eyes of others, and hugged her generously.

"Look where you're going!" Chu Tiankuo joked with her: "What, you still think I'm an eyesore?" ”

"I can't be the crown princess again, what am I pestering you as a prince?"

People coming and going on the street cast strange glances at them, and the smoke was embarrassing to be peeped at, and they couldn't help blushing and their hearts jumped. She tried to push him away, but he hugged him tighter. I had to bury my face in his chest.

It's really humiliating.

Chu Tiankuo didn't feel inappropriate, let alone uncomfortable, he didn't trap her like this, but he was afraid that she would not obediently listen to him finish speaking.

"You don't want to pester me, then I'll pester you." Chu Tiankuo chuckled, looking extremely affectionate: "I will not be the prince in the future, wherever you go, I will follow you wherever you go." ”

"What?" Smoke Xiang raised his eyes, met his affectionate eyes, and couldn't help but skip half a beat in his heartbeat.

"My father has forgiven me and decided to depose me as the crown prince, and agreed that I should leave the palace and go to the rivers and lakes."

Such news made the smoke incense excited. Doesn't this mean that the two of them can be together?

"Can you really put down your throne?"

The elder brother hugged her tightly, his warm breath blowing across her cheeks. What he said, she will remember for the rest of her life.

He whispered in her ear: "I love beauty more than Jiangshan!" ”

Between heaven and earth, the sound of the wind and the voices of people all disappeared.

He was really willing to give up everything for her.

The surging feelings rushed into Yanxiang's chest, and tears of excitement rushed out.

At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

She reached out and took his hand, and he led her to the ends of the earth.
