Yu Yuan's words made Shen Zhuo speechless.

Admittedly, he did think too highly of himself, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

Because he is the emperor and the king of a country, the whole wild goose belongs to him, and he should be above all living beings, which is the privilege given to him by the imperial power.

Shen Zhuo was silent for a while before he said.

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

Yu Yuanxuan said calmly: "Of course I'm afraid of death." ”

Shen Zhuo: "Then why can't you say something that makes me happy?" Even if it's a lie. ”

Yu Yuanxuan said calmly: "If you want to listen to nice lies, you can go back to Yujing, with your identity, there must be countless people rushing to pat you on the back, you can listen to any kind of falsehood, but fake is fake, you know this better than me." ”

Shen Zhuo was finally speechless.

Yu Xuan said unceremoniously: "I can't give you what you want, you die of this heart." ”

Shen Zhuo still didn't want to give up: "Obviously, you weren't like this before, you used to like to pester me very much, and you will try your best to make me happy, and you won't be as ruthless as you are now." ”

Yu Xuan: "I have told you many times, the past has passed, now you are the emperor of Dayan, I am the duchess of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, you have your thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, I have my father-in-law children and friends, we have long since parted ways, and there is no possibility of intersection." ”

These words, Empress Dowager Wen also said to Shen Zhuo.

But he didn't listen.

He always had the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

He hopes that he can still be soft-hearted, and that they can still have the possibility of getting back together.

But when he saw her in person at this time, he realized that the reality was far colder than he expected.

Yu Yuanxuan carefully watched the change in his expression, and saw that he seemed to be loose, so he continued to persuade.

"Now Xingning City should have been blocked from the city gate, Ah Ti and Gui Xi must be looking for me everywhere with people, if you let me go now, I can pretend that nothing happened and let you leave Dongtang."

Shen Zhuo: "What if I don't let you go?" ”

Yu Xuan said in an accentuated tone: "Xingning City is so big, they will find it here sooner or later, and none of you will be able to run away when the time comes." ”

Shen Zhuo: "If I have an accident here, Dayan will immediately send troops to the Eastern Tang Dynasty." ”

Yu Yuan: "Then start a war, it's a big deal that the fish die and the net is broken!" ”

Shen Zhuo: "......"

He looked at the woman in front of him steadily.

She obviously doesn't know any martial arts at all, and she has no ability to protect herself, but at this time, she is tough and won't give an inch.

Who gave her such confidence?

Is it Xiao Tiying? Or Tang Guixi?

When the atmosphere was deadlocked, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Tuk Tuk!

Shen Zhuo: "What's the matter?" ”

Wei Xiao's voice came through the door.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Tang Dynasty are searching for the whole city, they have almost found here, this place is not suitable for a long time, for your safety, please evacuate as soon as possible."

Yu Yuanyuan immediately turned his head to look out the window, and saw that a large number of people and horses were indeed approaching this side in the distance.

The men were holding torches in their hands, and the light of the fire reflected the night sky as bright as day, and they could still see clearly even from a long distance.

Shen Zhuo's eyes always looked at Yu Xuan, and he never moved away for half a minute.

"You really don't want to come with me?"

Yu Yuanwan said without hesitation: "I don't want to." ”

Shen Zhuo's voice became muffled, and his tone sounded almost threatening.

"Even if I want to send troops to pacify the Eastern Tang Dynasty, you still don't want to go with me?"

Yu Yuanxuan still shook his head.

The last bit of hope in Shen Zhuo's heart was completely extinguished at this moment.

The light in his eyes dimmed, and his expression became cold.

"Do you believe I'm going to kill you right now?"

Yu Xuan looked at him without humility or arrogance: "Brother Junzhi, do you really want to kill me?" ”

Shen Zhuo was silent again.

Brother Junzhi, what an affectionate title.

Over the years, he often heard him call him in his dreams, and the voice was sweet and crisp.

Now in reality, when he heard her call him like this, he only felt a strong mockery.

The huge gap between the ideal and the reality made him feel like a piece had been dug out of his heart, and he felt empty in his heart.

Shen Zhuo knew that he couldn't kill her.

He was abandoned by his father from birth, and his mother was extremely strict with him, and the people around him reminded him all the time to remember the responsibilities he had assumed.

When the other children are playing carefree, he will begin to learn to be patient.

In order to make himself better than other princes, he must work twice as hard to study.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been constantly improving.

His life seemed to have turned gray and white, boring and boring.

Curly is the only touch of color.

It is precisely because of this that he cherishes this touch of color extraordinarily.

If even this color is erased, there will be no happy times in his life worth remembering.

Shen Zhuo seemed to have accepted his fate.

"I won't kill you, you can go."

Yu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

She didn't expect Shen Zhuo to suddenly change her mind and let her go.

Happiness came so quickly that she couldn't believe it.

Shen Zhuo looked at her and laughed at himself: "What? Don't want to go? ”

Yu Yuan stood up with a smile: "Farewell!" ”

With that, she strode towards the door.

Shen Zhuo looked at her footsteps like flying, and his heart became more and more bitter.

He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid that I will send troops against the Eastern Tang Dynasty in a fit of anger?" ”

Yu curled under his feet.

She looked back at the man sitting at the table and said calmly.

"You won't."

Shen Zhuo asked rhetorically, "Where did you get your confidence?" ”

Yu Yuanyu: "You can't send troops to the Eastern Tang Dynasty for me, Brother Junzhi, maybe you didn't realize it yourself, every time you are faced with a choice, it is not me that you choose." ”

This time it was Shen Zhuo's turn to be stunned.

Yu said unhurriedly.

"Back in Bashu, my father proposed to you.

He wanted to marry me off, and you didn't hesitate to refuse.

Because you want to go back to the palace and take back everything that belongs to you.

I'm the superfluous one in your life plan.

Later, you made the truth about Concubine Yue's murder public.

You have taken advantage of me and Weary,

You knew it would make me uncomfortable, but you chose to do it anyway.

Because your plans are more important to you than I am.

Later, you knew the truth about my father's murder, but you still chose to act for the tiger.

You even reproached me for being willful, and in turn blamed me.

Because you know that once the truth is made public, your crown prince position will not be kept.

Compared to your position as crown prince, I seem so insignificant.

Every time, it's not me that you choose,

So I guess this time will not be an exception.

A war between the two countries is not a trivial matter, you have just ascended the throne, and it is the time when you need to stabilize your position and people's hearts.

Fighting a war will do more harm than good to you.

Chong Guan's anger turned red, but it was just a story from the storyteller's mouth.

You're not the one to do that.

Maybe one day in the future, you will send troops to attack the Eastern Tang, but the purpose should be for your own ambitions.

It could never be just for me. ”

With that, she opened the door and walked out without looking back.
