Chapter 513: The Emperor Visits the Prison
readx;? The light in Ruan Tianhao's eyes that burst out at the thought of her dimmed for a moment, as if the flames had been extinguished by a downpour. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoHer mind is so precious, and her life is like a priceless treasure, how can she be damaged in the slightest for him?
If he regretted it, he never admitted it, but when she said that she was willing to live and die, his heart was no longer as firm as before. In the past few days, he can't help but think, if everything could be done again, if he had understood her betterness earlier, would he still insist like this?
The answer is uncertain......
It's a pity that such assumptions are meaningless, and there is never a chance to start over in life. If everything can be turned back, maybe you shouldn't provoke the beautiful her......
"Your Majesty, the road is dark and difficult, so let the slaves hold the lamp for you. A sudden voice from outside interrupted Ruan Tianhao's musings. I saw that he frowned slightly, turned his back, and was full of vigilance.
After a while, the footsteps stopped. Ruan Tianhao heard a familiar voice coming: "You go and wait outside, I have something to ask him." ā
"Yes, the minions understand. The jailer withdrew.
After the jailer left, Chu Zhexun stood there, looking at the man huddled in the corner, without speaking. Regarding Ruan Tien Ho, the courtiers have already reached the result of their deliberations. It's rare that everyone said that he deserved to be punished. The punishment was decided, and three days later, at noon, he was beheaded for public display.
After all, he was once a brother, even in Chu Zhexun's heart, he had already seen him through and no longer regarded him as a brother, but when he was dying, he still had something to say to him. Manqi had come a few days ago, and although I didn't know what they had said, the jailer didn't seem to be pleasant in reply. On the other side of Xiaoyao Valley, Yechen and Qingran rarely have different opinions.
Chu Zhexun stood there, looking at him no longer as chic and dignified as before, but humble as a mustard, and felt a little uncomfortable. He had been here for a while, but Ruan Tianhao didn't move as if he didn't understand at all. But the more this is the case, the more certain Chu Zhexun becomes, he must know that he is coming, but he just doesn't want to face it. It doesn't matter, for the sake of his previous friendship, he can wait.
In this way, the two stood and lay down, and no one broke the silence......
Ruan Tianhao understands Chu Zhexun, and vows not to give up until he reaches his goal, if he lies like this, he is afraid that he will not leave. And with him, he couldn't calm down and recall the little warmth with Manqi.
Finally, he sighed almost inaudibly: "The emperor has condescended to come here, does he have to stand like this all the time?"
Chu Zhexun's expression loosened a little, and said, "Since you have spoken, it is better to get up and face it." ā
Ruan Tianhao turned around and stood up with a little difficulty, and with the sound of heavy shackles, he stood in front of Chu Zhexun. The two stood looking at each other, and after a long time, they heard Ruan Tianhao say mockingly: "Since you were a child, you never seem to have shown even the slightest covetousness for this position, but even so, this position has fallen into your pocket." ā
Chu Zhexun shook his head: "Tianhao, you are too paranoid. In fact, Uncle Ruan has always treated you the same as Tiance, but you paranoidly identified his partiality and poisoned him. The same is true of Manqi, who has regarded you as heaven since the day she married you. But you have no pity for this married wife. Even I have always regarded you as a brother, but what have you given me in return?"
In front of Ruan Tianhao, Chu Zhexun did not use the "I" that symbolizes supreme power, but "I". It has been some time since he ascended the throne, but Chu Zhexun has never had a lofty imperial posture. Even in front of his ministers, he behaved approachable.
Ruan Tianhao originally looked at him with a cold expression and was not moved at all, but when he suddenly mentioned Manqi, his cold expression finally changed. Chu Zhexun saw this change in his eyes, and his heart was clear, and the inference of Yechen and Qingran was by no means groundless. There is also softness in Ruan Tianhao's ruthless heart, and it is obvious that Manqi is that soft!
"What do you know? You are all sons-in-law, where do you understand the hardships of being a concubine and not being taken seriously?" Ruan Tianhao's voice raised a little. The difference between the concubines and the concubines is probably the deepest pain in Ruan Tianhao's heart when he was a child!
Chu Zhexun's expression was slightly gloomy, maybe he really didn't understand Ruan Tianhao's heart knot, but he was confident that he would not come to this point.
"Even so, you have a grudge against Uncle Ruan and Tiance, but what about Manqi? Since you got married, how she has treated you, don't you know? Now that he knows his sore spots, the questioning should of course be focused.
Sure enough, Ruan Tianhao's indignation slowed down a little, and his eyes instantly dimmed, and then he armed himself again, and asked unappreciatively: "What do you have to do with it? Even if you are now the king of a country, it is not your turn to take care of my family affairs!"
Chu Zhexun was not angry, Ruan Tianhao's psychological defense line was already broken, and it was easy to defeat him. It's just that what he said is right, what does his family background have to do with himself? He has no friendship with the lord of Namanqi, and he is willing to say a few more words today, also for the sake of Nuoyu's face. I came here today to say goodbye, and I also have something to say.
Chu Zhexun looked at him with a comfortable expression, and bowed his head: "Okay, then let's talk about something between you and me today." ā
"What else is there to talk about between you and me?" Ruan Tianhao's tone was untamed. He actually did it on purpose, deliberately trying to provoke Chu Zhexun. Since he was a child, he knew that compared with his brother Ruan Tiance, Chu Zhexun treated him better. If there was no White Frost Moon, maybe the two of them could become brothers.
Suddenly thinking of the White Frost Moon, Ruan Tianhao looked at Chu Zhexun with a hint of calculation in his eyes. He knew in his heart that with Chu Zhexun's deep affection, the white frost moon was the eternal death in his heart! Looking at Chu Zhexun's indifferent appearance now, Ruan Tianhao's heart suddenly swelled up a little unbalanced. Why did they confront each other, and he was provoked by him in just a few words, but he was so calm?
Without waiting for Chu Zhexun to speak, Ruan Tianhao looked at him with a smile: "So far, what else is there to talk about between you and me except for the white frost moon that was buried in the sea of fire?" He deliberately emphasized the words "buried in the sea of fire", aiming to tear apart Chu Zhexun's indifferent expression.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Tianhao's expected anger did not appear, on the contrary, Chu Zhexun smiled calmly: "Speaking of this, I may be grateful to you." If not, how can I have a queen who loves her so much?"
"What do you mean?" Ruan Tianhao couldn't react for a while.
Chu Zhexun ignored him: "You don't need to know what it means. You just need to remember one sentence, sometimes people are not as good as heaven. ā
"People are not as good as heaven?" Ruan Tianhao groaned slightly, "What do you mean by this?" I always feel that this is the real purpose of Chu Zhexun's coming here today.
Chu Zhexun looked at him, took out three snow jades from his arms without hurrying, put them in front of Ruan Tianhao, and said, "You must not be unfamiliar with this thing, right?"
When Ruan Tianhao's gaze touched the three snow jades, his expression changed drastically, and he looked at him with a shocked expression. Of course, he was not unfamiliar with this thing, although he couldn't see the other two snow jades, but at least the Ruan family's one was too familiar to him. After his father died, he took the snow jade from him, but unfortunately it was taken away by his father later.
There are three pieces of snow jade, in addition to the Ruan family, the other two are in Chu Mansion and Bai Mansion respectively. Needless to say, the Chu Mansion has always been kept by Chu Zhexun. The key is the one in Bai Fu, how could it be in his hands? Could it be that Bai Feng gave it to him?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he quickly dismissed it. He clearly remembered that Frost Moon had said more than once that it was her father who had handed over the heirloom snow jade to her for safekeeping. On the day he started, Bai Shuangyue was not in the mansion, and the incident happened suddenly, and there was absolutely no possibility of transferring. This thing must have been on White Frost Moon all along!, but he searched his body that day, but found nothing. How did Chu Zhexun get it?
"How could that one in Baifu be here with you?" Ruan Tianhao looked at him and asked, "Could it be that the good impression you showed for Bai Shuangyue that day was also for this snow jade? I have never understood why you were able to ascend the throne, but it turned out that it was thanks to the blessing of snow jade! Those rumors are true, and those who get snow jade win the world!"
Chu Zhexun snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm the same as you? At the beginning, you knew my thoughts about Frost Moon, but you intervened in it! Obviously I composed music for her, but it was stolen by you! And that rainy night to save Frost Moon, it was also you who took my name! If it weren't for you to get in the way, how could I have been so tortuous with Frost Moon? But even so, I was thinking, if you can really give Frost Moon happiness, I am willing to let go and bless you! But what about you? What have you done?"
Ruan Tianhao laughed loudly: "No matter what, she has no intention of you before she dies!"
"That's also because you took my name on the day you burned Baifu! Make Shuangyue think that the person who did all this is me!" Chu Zhexun scolded angrily.
When Ruan Tianhao heard this, he changed color slightly: "How did you know this?" The brothers who were with him that day had all died in Huangquan, how did Chu Zhexun know these details?
"If you don't know, you can't do anything unless you do!" Chu Zhexun's voice was as cold as the snow in the cold winter moon.
Ruan Tianhao couldn't help but take two steps forward, staring at Chu Zhexun's eyes, carefully recalling what he had just said. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he asked in disbelief, "Could it be that the White Frost Moon is not dead at all?"
"Under your viciousness, can she live?" Chu Zhexun asked rhetorically.
Ruan Tianhao shook his head and said firmly: "No! She must not be dead! Otherwise, you can't have her snow jade, and you can't know the details of that day, let alone have a queen who loves each other deeply!"
Yes, no matter whether he really regards Chu Zhexun as a brother over the years, at least he believes that what Chu Zhexun has shown is true. Therefore, his deep affection for the White Frost Moon will not be faked!
