Three years later, in the Qiankun Hall of the Imperial City.

But Zhao Yucheng, a young emperor in his early thirties with half-white hair, was sitting in front of the case, meticulously reviewing the memorial.

He put down his pen and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.

When he sat in this position for the first time, he was very excited and even high-spirited.

Even though the throne was given to him by King Zhennan.

He was still very happy and believed that he could become a good emperor who would be famous throughout history and respected by all people.

But being an emperor and being a prince are two completely different things. You can be mediocre as a prince, but not as an emperor.

His brothers who are still alive are all forming cliques with ministers for personal gain, and are eyeing the throne.

However, he is not at the mercy of others.

The sixth brother who was once the most favored by his father was now assigned to guard the imperial mausoleum.

As for the others, they have no military power, so there is nothing to worry about.

Before King Zhennan left the imperial city, he personally modified the military system so that no one could ever assume sole power again.

Zhao Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief at this point, picked up his pen and continued to review the memorial.

Suddenly, the little eunuch came in from the door hunched over.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has passed away."

With a "pop" sound, the ink pen in Zhao Yucheng's hand fell.

…

Fufeng County in the State of Zhao is rich in geothermal energy and a large family must have a hot spring pool in their backyard.

In the courtyard corridor of Zhao Mansion, there are waterside pavilions, flowers and trees, and the echo of gurgling water.

It was winter again, there was a thick layer of snow outside the house, and the plum blossoms in the corner of the yard were in bloom.

Afterwards, Zhao Yan carried Ning Xi to the hot spring in the courtyard for a bath.

Ning Xi fell into the water and hit him, "You're still torturing me."

There was a thin layer of sweat on Zhao Yan's body, and the strong muscles in front of him were particularly attractive.

"Why do you blame me?"

"Why didn't Ning Ning think carefully before seducing me? If she could bear it?"

Ning Xi glanced at him.

He then fell into the water, lowered his head and kissed her shoulder.

"It's all my fault, okay? It's all my fault."

Ning Xi twitched the corner of her mouth and pinched him.

Zhao Yan took a breath and quickly held her little hand.

"Ning Ning, don't mess around."

When Ning Xi heard this, she threw it away and said "oh".

Zhao Yan saw this and pulled her into his arms without any explanation.

"Okay, I'll let you have a good rest later, and I won't bother you tomorrow."

Ning Xi simply closed her eyes.

How can you believe what a dog man says?

Zhao Yan pressed her forehead against hers, looked into her eyes, and kissed her vigorously before she could say anything.

"Um"

…

…

Ning Xi held his head with both hands and said urgently: "Husband, farewell."

Zhao Yan looked at her and couldn't help but take a bite, then curled his lips and said, "Say, you love me."

Ning Xi stared at him with a pair of watery eyes, biting her lips and refusing to speak.

Zhao Yan was not to be outdone.

…

"Zhao Yan. You. You are not a human being."

She was tired of scolding him with the word "big bad wolf"!

…

"Yeah~"

I don’t know when snowflakes started to fall again in the sky.

At this moment, Ning Xi heard the system sound coming from her ears.

[The host, the male protagonist Zhao Changyuan, was assassinated in the imperial mausoleum.]

Ning Xi was surprised, "Who killed him?"

System AE86: It's the heroine Ning Ruowei. Ever since Zhao Changyuan left Ning Ruowei to a group of killers, she has been tortured to a terrible state, but after all, how could the heroine die so easily?

Not only did she not die, she also deceived a killer into trusting her and letting him take her away.

Not long after, she learned that Zhao Changyuan was banned in the imperial mausoleum, so she sneaked out and pretended to be a palace maid to bring him food.

Ning Xi heard Tongzi's words and said, "Is it possible that Zhao Changyuan was poisoned by Ning Ruowei and died?"

System AE86: That’s right!

Ning Xi, "That's it, you can log off."

[Host, I have some bad news for you.]

Ning Xi frowned. With the last urgent mission, she felt a little nervous when she heard any news.

"what news?"

[Host, although you used the strategy system to cure Zhao Yan's serious illness, his long-term battles have long overstretched his body functions, and now he only has five years left to live. The leave application has been arranged for you, Tongzi

Waiting for your return at the Space-Time Management Bureau.]

Zhao Yan looked steadily into Ning Xi's eyes.

When Ning Xi came back to her senses, she looked away uncomfortably.

He asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Ning Xi's eyes flashed, she lowered her head and said nothing.

There was silence between the two of them for a moment.

Zhao Yan suddenly said: "You and I are of the same mind. I don't think there is anything suitable for you to bury alone in your heart."

"If you don't tell me, then I will tell you some of the things I have thought about."

Ning Xi lowered her head, looked at the reflections of the two people in the spring, and listened to what he said slowly.

"I was thinking, what would you do if one day I died?"

"I have been in Zhao for many years, and I have fought against enemy countries. I have countless enemies."

"Although you have martial arts at your side, you are bound to be assassinated."

Ning Xi hugged him and said, "If you die, I will remarry and make you angry."

"Heh." Zhao Yan chuckled and stroked her long hair.

"Of course I don't want to die, but life and death are fateful, and things in this world are unpredictable."

"If one day I die and you find a man to remarry, then my hatred will have nothing to do with you."

"They wanted revenge, so they dug my grave and crushed my bones into ashes."

Ning Xi covered his mouth, looked into his eyes, and said seriously:

"Husband, listen."

"We will be together when we are born, we will love each other when we die, and remarriage is all nonsense and must not be taken seriously."

Zhao Yan kissed her palm, gently stroked her head, and said with a smile, "I'll do whatever you want."

"Don't worry, even if I die, I will bless you with a smooth life."

…

Ning Xi did not expect that after a long talk that day, he returned to the court and made some agreement with Zhao Yucheng. He once again held heavy troops and fought in the north and south to expand the territory of Zhao State.

The Liang Kingdom bore the brunt and was the first to be destroyed.
