Over the decades, there have been countless wars in this country, some have succeeded, some have failed, some have been killed, some have been slaughtered, and the cause and effect in this cycle are like a pre-arranged play, and everyone is just a pawn in it.

He returned to the palace, which was no longer the home of the Li Shan family, nor the country of the Li dynasty.

Li Leng never expected that this place would become a ruin. What was once a bustling imperial palace has become a city that no one cares about and is abandoned.

The barren weeds, almost a man tall, the dilapidated walls, the ruins of the war, the skeletons everywhere, and the black crows that looked at him mercilessly, made people's hearts sink continuously, and the hairs on their bodies stood up.

Li Leng walked to the hall where he had once married, and here, he saw a person, a white-haired woman.

The face of this woman, he looked familiar, thought about it carefully for a long time, and suddenly remembered that this was his enemy who did not share the sky, Li Shanjuan.

"How...... ......Could it be you? Maybe?" Li Leng was speechless in shock, full of tears, and looked at this woman with a complicated expression.

It was she who made him lose the person he loved the most and his own flesh and blood.

It was also she who ruined his country and his family, from a high-ranking prince, to a worthless dust in the world.

The hardships I have endured over the past few decades, and the warmth and warmth of the people I have seen, are all thanks to this woman.

He originally thought that this woman would become the queen mother of the world, and even the empress who held the power of life and death.

But he never expected that she would become like this, even more depressed and desolate than him.

Life, it's ironic and ridiculous.

"It's you, Your Highness the Prince. Li Shanjuan's voice was very old, very sharp, and very ugly.

She recognized Li Leng at a glance, a sharp laugh came out of her throat, and she said sarcastically: "I didn't expect that after decades, we would meet here again." ”

"Our hatred...... It started here. I don't know why, Li Leng couldn't hate it, decades of grudges came to naught at this moment, and all that was left was deep helplessness and confusion.

Perhaps, their hatred begins here, and it has to end here.

"Yes, it was I who killed your beloved and your child. Li Shanjuan laughed, "I also ruined your country and ruined your Li family." ”

"Why? Do you hate me so much?" Li Leng's eyes gradually became calmer, and his heart was no longer full of hatred and anger.

When a person lets go of everything, his heart becomes very calm and peaceful.

"I don't hate you. Li Shanjuan took a deep breath and said coldly, "I hate this world." I once loved a man, but for the sake of my family, I killed that man and was forced to love you. I thought that you would be like me, killing the person you love, and then being forced to love me. But I never expected that you would give up the supreme throne for that woman. Why can't you be like me?"

"Why should I be like you?" Li Leng seemed to gradually understand what she hated in her heart, looking up at the gray sky, letting the raindrops as thin as hair fall on his cheeks.

At this moment, he thought of Qin Yanran, and thought of the child who had not yet had time to meet, if all this had not happened, then he and her might live happily together, and their children would grow up healthily.

"Life...... It's just a practice, and everyone is struggling desperately in a sea of suffering. We suffer, but perhaps, there are people who suffer more than us. After speaking, Li Leng turned around and wanted to leave.

"Don't you hate me?" asked Li Shanjuan suddenly.

Li Leng shook his head and said, "I've hated you for fifty years, I'm tired and tired, it's time to let go." I...... I don't hate you anymore. ”

"Don't you want to kill me to avenge them?" asked Li Shanjuan in a trembling tone.

Li sneered, glanced back at her, and said: "You have become like this, what difference does it make if you kill you or not? What can I do if I kill you? What can I do if I don't kill you? I have too many obsessions, and I don't want to live in the last few years of my life. ”

After speaking, he showed a gentle smile to Li Shanjuan and walked towards the outside of the palace step by step.

"Haha, hahaha......" Li Shanjuan laughed wildly, laughing and laughing, she took out a knife and cut off her head, blood splattered everywhere, adding a touch of life to the ruined ruins.

When she was dying, she yelled at Li Leng's back: "If you owe you, I will give it back to you." ”

She also has an obsession, and she will not die for fifty years, just to wait for Li Leng and return everything she owes him to him.

Now, she has paid it back, and she doesn't owe Li Leng anything.

At this moment, she was relieved at the cost of her life.

Li Leng didn't look back, perhaps, he knew that he couldn't change anything if he turned back. Life is sometimes precious. But in the face of a painful life, the end of life is a relief.

Both he and she need to be liberated.

Only by letting go can we achieve true liberation.

After leaving the palace, Li Leng went to a mountain, which was the imperial tomb where the Li Emperor was buried.

His father, emperor and queen mother are buried here.

The woman he loved the most, as well as the unborn child, were also buried here.

But...... This is no longer an imperial mausoleum.

Rather, barren peaks.

Everything around him was overgrown with weeds, and he couldn't tell where was the grave of his father, where was the grave of his mother, where was the grave of the woman he loved the most, and where was the grave of his children.

"Perhaps...... I shouldn't be in this world. All these tragedies are caused by me, and I am the one who really deserves to die. Li Leng's heart showed a weak struggle, there was a knife next to him, and his hand pulled out the knife without obeying the call.

"They all died because of me. I don't love her, she won't die, I don't have children with her, my father and mother won't die. If I am with Li Shanjuan with peace of mind, then she will not die, and the Li family will not die. Millions of people will not be displaced, wandering and homeless. The source of all this tragedy turned out to be him. Li Leng slowly put the knife on his neck, "If I die, the tragedy between heaven and earth will not happen, and the fate of many people will be changed." Father, mother, Yanran, and my children, they will not die. ”

There seemed to be a distant voice in his heart: "Only death can be liberated." Only death can atone for sins. Your appearance was originally a mistake, and this world does not belong to you. Die, and you will be free. ”

As soon as this thought appeared, it took root in his mind and occupied his entire heart.
