Chapter 125

One night in June, the night was as thick as splashed ink, and the thick black clouds covered the stars so tightly that no trace of light could be seen, as if a huge black cloth flew down out of thin air.

, completely enveloping the mortal world, and the gusts of wind blowing from time to time add a bit of undercurrent to the quiet night.

Xuanyuan Yeya pursed her lips and sat upright on the dragon chair, with her arms stretched out and placed casually on the table of the dragon table. Her bright green eyes were like emeralds, shining from time to time in the goose-yellow candlelight.

.Although the sky outside is depressing, the atmosphere inside the house is also suffocating.

"Jade, what are you doing?" Staring at the man kneeling below, Xuanyuan Yeya's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion and displeasure. Looking at the man's drooped head, his waterfall-like hair slid down his shoulders.

I felt a blockage in my heart, and then my tone became a bit stiff.

"Shangguanyu wants to ask your Majesty for something. Please agree to it." Shangguanyu, who was kneeling on one knee, stared at the marble floor under his feet. His white figure was printed on the smooth mirror-like floor, and in the dim candlelight

, as vague and misty as floating clouds and smoke.[

Hearing the unfamiliar name, Xuanyuan Yeya's hand that was lying on the case suddenly clenched. Looking at the humble figure kneeling on the ground, the anger in his heart rose up, and he roared at him: "Whatever happened, stand up and say it."

!Kneeling on the ground, what does it look like!" Has your arrogant dignity been abandoned?

He didn't spit out the last sentence, but looking at the figure below who still persisted, Xuanyuan Yeya vaguely thought that what he was about to say might be serious. So he suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke in a low voice.

Said: "Then you say it, I will listen."

Shangguan Yu heard the suppressed anger in that tone, and his heart suddenly felt sour. But he had to do this: "Yu pleases the emperor, and does not want to accept Yu's sister. Shangguan Qi will be the queen."

"Huh-" A gust of wind suddenly sounded outside the house, and the windows that were blown open by the wind shook violently. The candles on the dragon table were also blown out by the sudden strong wind, and the empty hall suddenly fell into boundless darkness.

The serving eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to light the lamp, then closed the window and stood at the door.

The newly lit candle trembled slightly and then burned quietly. The bright green eyes gradually became deep in the dim light, as if walking alone in the snow. Xuanyuan Yeya's voice became dark and depressing.

: "Why? Am I not worthy of her?"

"No." A trace of pain flashed through Shangguan Yu's eyes with his head hanging down, "It's because Qi'er is not worthy of the emperor."

"But what if I say she deserves it?" The corners of her mouth curved up, and she raised her eyes to look at him without any warmth.

Shangguan Yu finally raised his head, his dark eyes covered with a look of pain, looking at Xuanyuan Yeya who pursed his lips above him, and finally spoke in a lowered voice: "Ye, what are you doing? Qi'er

You know the body."

Xuanyuan Yeya didn't speak, just looked at him quietly. The red candle oil slid down the body of the candlestick, and Xuanyuan Yeya thought of that delicate figure. Suffering from illness, he had been bedridden all year round, and was timid and timid.

But she has an alluring appearance. He has only seen this Yu's sister two or three times, and each time she has a sickly silhouette, with a delicate little face that is bloodless, a pointy chin that is almost dripping with water, and a slender body.

, as if he would be blown away by the wind at any time. Because he stayed in the house for many years, few people knew about him. Outsiders only knew that there was a beautiful young master in the Shangguan family, but they didn't know that there was also a beautiful young lady in the country.

But now, such a frail and sickly beauty wants to marry into his palace and become his queen.

"I know. But... the queen can only be her." He moved his hands away, clenched them into fists again, and looked at Shangguan Yu below, his face showing determination.

"Why? Do you really believe that prophecy?" Shangguan Yu stood up from the ground and looked at Xuanyuan Yeya with disappointed eyes. "If Qi'er marries into the palace like this, there is no other way but death!

Do you really want to take my sister away for a prophecy?"

Xuanyuan Yeya's eyes trembled. He looked at Shangguan Yu, who had the same color on his face, and lost his usual coolness and calmness. At this time, he was a brother who loved his sister. He always knew that Yu loved him.

My sister, but I didn't expect that she would cherish her to this extent.

Would use such words to hurt him.

"Jade, your sister married into the palace to save her. Moreover, I can also find famous doctors in the world to treat her." Understanding his mood at this time, Xuanyuan Yeya sighed and did not argue with him.

"You can save her by marrying into the palace..." Shangguan Yu smiled sarcastically, took a lonely step back, raised her head and looked at him, "Ye, aren't you afraid of the opposition of the people if you marry such a queen?

I don’t believe that prophecy, and I don’t believe that Qi’er will recover after entering the palace. Ye, you and I understand the darkness of the palace. How many risks have we experienced along the way? Qi’er is so weak, how could she bear it?

Live? I just want her to stay at home and recuperate. I would rather she stay like this and have us to protect her. I don't want her to go into the palace and risk her life to save herself. Ye, I have never asked

You, today I beg you for Qi'er, please let her go, okay? For you, for me, for the people, for Xuanyuan. This country needs a healthy queen, Qi'er doesn't deserve it, she can't do it·

·····”

As he talked, Shangguan Yu couldn't talk any more. Tears welled up from his eyes like pearls, dripping on the third side, blooming into flowers of sadness. How ridiculous it was to risk his life to save himself.

How to save life. How happy he was when he learned from his father that Qi'er was saved, but now, how desperate he is. Qi'er, why did God do this to you? Why?

Looking at Shangguan Yu who was in pain below, Xuanyuan Yeya's eyes also flashed with a hint of pain. He knew in his heart that Shangguan Qi was not worthy of being the Queen of Xuanyuan, but——

"I'm sorry Yu, I can't promise you."[

The strong wind outside the house roared and slapped the window, and a bolt of lightning broke through the thick dark clouds. Xuanyuan Yeya's answer was like this lightning, instantly hitting Shangguan Yu there. He stared blankly at the place where he sat in the dark

Xuanyuan Yeya, who is sitting on the throne with golden light in the middle, slowly pulls out a desolate and self-deprecating arc from the corner of his mouth. In this night of lightning and thunder, in the pale light of lightning, this arc is so light,

It's so heavy again.

"I understand. Please leave."

Slowly turning around, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and the white light imprinted on Shangguan Yuruxue's robe, which was so desolate and cold. The door of the room was blown open by the strong wind, and the candlelight on the table was restless.

It was shaking. I heard a thunder outside, and heavy rain poured down. And Shangguan Yu, like a haggard white chrysanthemum, slowly walked out of the hall, stepped into the rain, and gradually disappeared into Xuanyuan Yeya in this violent storm.

In the abyss-like eyes...

If Shangguan Yu still had a glimmer of hope for Xuanyuan Yeya after returning, then when he woke up the next morning, an edict to the world completely darkened the light in front of his eyes. Half a month later, Emperor Ye got married.

.The little sister who had never left home was dressed in a gorgeous wedding dress and was carried into the majestic palace by a phoenix chariot carried by eight people. She never looked back. And on that day, he also changed into a wedding dress with his little sister.

The same bright red robe walked into the palace.

"Yu, what are you doing? You act like you are the groom!" Feng Jueyue still looked at him as if he were on fire, putting his hand on Mo Xuanyu's shoulder and smiling.

It was so heartless. If it had been in the past, he might have stopped and laughed with him, but at this moment, in his mind, in addition to the little girl's pale face covered with a red hijab, there was that delicate figure sitting there.

The figure gradually disappears in the large phoenix chariot.

His steps were so firm and he stepped into the imperial study room without hesitation. Unsurprisingly, he saw Xuanyuan Yeya who was still immersed in his work, and Ye Han was also sitting below drinking tea as usual. Although it was him today

It was a wedding, but he was still wearing casual clothes as before, holding a "brush" in hand to correct the memorial. When he saw him coming in, his eyes were stunned, and then he pursed his lips and looked at him quietly.

"Jade——" Xuanyuan Yeya just spoke after a long time, and a magnetic voice sounded in the hall.

"The common people have seen the emperor, and the emperor is safe." Shangguan Yu bowed respectfully, causing Feng Jueyue and Mo Xuanyu, who had just stepped forward with one foot, to freeze there. Seeing Shangguan Yu bowing his head in salute,

There was an expression on his face as if he had seen a demon.

Xuanyuan Yeya also had a look of astonishment on his face, and then he seemed to understand something, so he increased his voice and whispered: "Jade!"

"The grassroots are here." Shangguan Yu lowered his eyes slightly and answered so casually.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Xuanyuan Yeya was angry, put down the pen in his hand, and glared at the enchanting figure below.

What do you want to do? His red lips curled up, showing off his enchanting look. Looking at their shocked expressions, the curve of Shangguan Yu's mouth became softer and softer: "The common people came here for one thing." His slightly drooped eyes slowly raised.

From the beginning, the enchanting phoenix eyes are like black holes that people can't see to the end. Although he is smiling, people can feel the coldness in his eyes.

"My younger sister entered the palace as the queen, but she has been weak and sick since she was a child. Therefore, the common people want to ask for an order to go out to find famous people in the world for my younger sister to save the empress."

"So..." Xuanyuan Yeya had already guessed something, and the hand holding the pen clenched into a fist.

"So the emperor asked me to enter the palace as an official next month. I'm afraid... I'm sorry that I won't be able to accept the order."

The imperial study room was once again filled with astonishment. Except for Xuanyuan Yeya, everyone looked at Shangguan Yu with puzzled eyes. Shangguan Yu stood proudly with a smile on her lips, accepting their gazes calmly.

"Jade, are you really going to do this?" She cried out in pain, unable to believe that such a long friendship would suddenly come to an end.

"The common people thank the Emperor for his love. I am afraid that the common people will let down the Emperor's hard work." Shangguan Yu lowered his eyes and saluted, his eyes filled with pain.

"You!" Finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted.

"Common people, please retire." She didn't give him any room to get angry. Shangguan Yu turned around and left. Xuanyuan Ye's bright green eyes were cut by her beautiful red robe. When he looked again, the enchanting voice had already stepped out of the hall, far away.

And they left together, and what they left together was their firm friendship of fighting side by side.

Shangguan Yu has been away for nearly three years. During these three years, they have been in contact through letters, and they have also returned to the imperial capital, but every time they come in a hurry, they leave in a hurry. They don't know that he is so mysterious.

Why is it that in the past three years, he has not visited Shangguan Qi in the palace and only received news about her from his parents. Perhaps he did not dare to face it, after all, that was what he promised her so steadfastly:

"Brother will always protect you! If my little sister doesn't marry into the palace, then my brother will never give you away! Otherwise, my brother will marry you together!" [

Hearing this, Shangguan Qi suddenly understood the meaning of those three years of red clothes. On the day Shangguan Qi got married, he also wore red clothes. When she married, he also married. She married a human being, and he spent his whole life

He gave Shangguan Qi his happiness to make up for the guilt in his heart. This guilt was always entangled in his heart like a vine, making him dare not approach Shangguan Qi, dare not see her with his own eyes, dare not return to the imperial capital to hear him

Any news. As for Xuanyuan Yeya, he probably felt guilty. They grew up playing together, but in the end he abandoned him, and he was still so decisive.

With guilt, he escaped here, using the slogan of searching for a name to escape far away. Maybe one day he suddenly figured it out and returned here. But things changed and Shangguan Qi disappeared forever...

After the story was told, both of them chose to remain silent. The silver fox under the soft couch had completely fallen asleep, with its cute ears drooped, like a furry toy in the dim light.

"You must have hated me then." The breeze outside the house blew slowly, and Xuanyuan Yeya's voice suddenly sounded like the wind. Shangguan Qi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"I don't know, but I know that he was in a lot of pain at that time." He put his hand on his head, which was pressed against his chest. He hesitated for a moment, but still pressed it against his long hair to comfort him. "Believe me, he

He cares about you as a friend. Otherwise, he would not have made such a promise to Shangguan Qi. He thought you..."

He said that because he believed in it, but one day his belief collapsed, and he was caught off guard.

"It doesn't matter, it's over anyway. What's more, I found someone who I really want to cherish and love." He raised his head and looked at the little woman under him. In the dim light, the snow-like skin glowed with a crescent-like luster, like a grape.

Her purple eyes were as clear as stars. He reached out and touched her temples. Xuanyuan Yeya lowered his voice and looked at her dreamingly, "Actually, if I could turn back time, I would still do that. Otherwise, how could I meet you?"
