Chaoyang looked at the chessboard quietly and smiled for a long time. "Okay, no matter what conditions the people from Baixiaotang put forward, I will agree."
He Gu stood up nervously and slowly clenched his fingers. "Miss, please think about it again. Not just anyone can do business with Bai Xiaotang."
Chaoyang stood up, and seeing He Gu so nervous, he asked doubtfully, "Can the master of Baixiao Hall take someone's life?"
"Then...it won't happen." He Gu shook his head.
"Since you won't kill me, what are you afraid of?" Chaoyang was not worried.
If she has any good intentions, no matter what the price, she can afford it.
"Miss, please think clearly, Bai Xiaotang's mission will not be so easy to accept." He Gu didn't want Chaoyang and Shen Qingzhou to be enemies. After all... Shen Qingzhou is Chaoyang's biological father.
Even though Shen Qingzhou had said that Chaoyang could not know his life experience, but father and daughter fighting each other... being hostile to each other was not what He Gu wanted to see.
"I can afford it." Chaoyang walked straight into the room and closed the door.
She...can afford it.
As long as Shen Qingzhou can be brought down.
He raised his hand and touched his cheek, and it was still moist.
Returning to Fengtian, she thought she could clearly distinguish between tasks, hatred and emotions, but it turns out... her heart still hurts.
She hated Shen Qingzhou, and her emotions were out of control the moment she saw Shen Qingzhou.
This man ruined his family.
"Ha..." He leaned against the wall weakly, Chaoyang slowly slid to the ground.
If Shen Qingzhou is not eliminated, she will never be able to escape.
Hatred was like poison, sprouting in her heart and slowly growing.
Whenever I think of Mu Jingyan still lying in the secret room in the Western Region, he is worse than dead. Whenever he thinks of his mother... he committed suicide by taking poison.
Her heart felt like it was being torn apart by life.
"Mom..." Chaoyang raised his head and forced his tears to stop flowing out, calling Bai Li in a low voice. "Where are you?"
Is it true that she is not dead as Xing Yi said?
If she is not dead, is the Poppy Organization related to her?
If she wasn't dead, why didn't she come to find him?
"Your Majesty, what are you doing outside Chaoyang's room after midnight?" Chaoyang wiped his tears and listened warily to the movement outside the room. It was Xiao Junze.
"Chao'er..." Xiao Junze came secretly alone in the middle of the night. He just... couldn't sleep alone.
"Your Majesty, your behavior is unbecoming of an emperor. You should go back early." Chaoyang lowered his voice without any emotion.
"Chao'er... our plan was successful. Shen Yunrou's people have already gone to find Jing Li." Xiao Junze's fingers lightly touched the door frame, and he knew that Chaoyang was on the other side of the door.
He is obviously the emperor of Fengtian, but as long as he wants... the whole world is not the royal land.
But the rising sun was so close to him, separated by a wall, but it was like starlight that he could never touch.
However, the most painful thing is... he once received Chaoyang, but he never truly cared for her.
"Then I will congratulate Your Majesty in advance." Chaoyang always sat on the ground, quiet and weak.
"Jing Li is my man, he is trustworthy enough..." Xiao Junze was afraid that Chaoyang would worry about Jing Li's credibility, so he tried his best to create a topic.
"Chao'er already understands that His Majesty's people are certainly worthy of trust. You can go back." Chaoyang slowly closed his eyes, his voice a little forbearing.
Can't you just leave her alone?
Xiao Junze lowered his eyes, which looked even more desolate under the moonlight.
Turning around and sitting on the floor, Xiao Junze leaned against the door and curled up. "Chao'er... don't drive me away."
Chaoyang's body stiffened for a moment. Is Xiao Junze going to sleep outside her house tonight?
"Did someone lower your Majesty's head?" Chaoyang rubbed the center of his eyebrows. He had changed so much since Xiao Junze was stupid...
It seemed that she had to find Xingyi to give Xiao Junze a good look to make sure she didn't get raped by anyone.
"Hmm... maybe." Xiao Junze laughed at himself, leaned outside the door, and closed his eyes tiredly.
There is only one door between us and the morning sun, so we can sleep peacefully.
Chaoyang had no choice but to sleep outside if he wanted to.
…
The night is getting darker.
The secret guards are guarding outside Changchun Garden, and their Majesty is sleeping outside the door of the inner palace. Who dares to say anything?
I saw it and didn't dare to say anything.
In the room, Chaoyang also leaned against the door and fell asleep.
…
"Mother, don't drive me away..."
"Queen Mother...Ze'er will be obedient, Queen Mother."
Xiao Junze had a nightmare, and in his dream, he seemed to have returned to the past.
For a long time, Empress Changsun was not interested in Xiao Junze.
Ever since Xiao Junze became the prince and was raised by the emperor "personally", Empress Changsun and Xiao Junze got along less and less.
The late emperor devoted all his efforts to Xiao Junze, and he also trained Xiao Junze as a future emperor.
But the older Xiao Junze grew up, the more distant Queen Changsun became to him.
"You are becoming more and more like your father..."
At first, Xiao Junze couldn't tell whether it was a good or bad thing, until one day... Xiao Junze heard that Queen Changsun was ill and would die soon.
For the first time, Xiao Junze felt hopeless, helpless, and deeply unwilling.
He obviously... works so hard and is so obedient, why... in the end, he becomes a wild child whose mother doesn't love him and whose father doesn't care.
"Queen mother, Ze'er doesn't want to grow up..."
Queen Mother, Ze'er doesn't want to be the emperor.
"Xiao Junze, your life is no longer yours. The blood of the Xiao family flows in your body. You are selfish, cruel, cold-blooded, and ruthless..."
I still remember that this was the most serious thing Empress Changsun ever said to Xiao Junze.
Queen Changsun was crazy. During that time... everyone in the palace said so.
They said the Queen was crazy and wanted to kill Your Majesty.
Xiao Junze's whole body felt as if he was immersed in a cold pool. He looked at his mother, who was hoarse and heartbroken. Her roar, voice and eyes... revealed a strong hatred.
No one knows what happened during that time. Empress Changsun suddenly went crazy. She hated Xiao Junze like crazy and wanted to kill Emperor Long.
"People from the Xiao family ruined me..."
"You are his son, so I will destroy you too!"
In the early years, how much Empress Changsun loved Xiao Junze, but how much she hated her during the years when she went crazy.
Empress Changsun couldn't tell the difference herself. She didn't hate Xiao Junze, she hated the late emperor.
When she died... she also knew that the person she was most sorry for was her son, Xiao Junze.
But she couldn't control herself.
The purpose of hurting Xiao Junze was to let him understand that his mother was gone...no one could protect him anymore.
How can he survive alone in this dirty, murderous palace?
"Queen mother..."
Dark red blood flowed in her abdomen. After Queen Changsun went crazy, she not only wanted to kill the late emperor, but also the prince Xiao Junze.
She was worried about Xiao Junze. The moment she went crazy, she wanted to take Xiao Junze away.
Finally, the late emperor couldn't bear it anymore and secretly issued a decree to kill Empress Changsun with a glass of poisonous wine.
Externally, the queen died of madness, and treatment failed, and she passed away...
"Queen mother..."
Xiao Junze stood in a pool of blood. Until Queen Changsun left, he only thought that his mother was really driven crazy. She was driven crazy by this deep palace and by her father.
He hated the late emperor and hated himself for not protecting his mother and queen.
He hated that the late emperor had sworn to love only Empress Changsun before he ascended the throne, but after becoming the emperor, he had seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards...
He hated the late emperor for his lack of expertise, and even more hated the insidious nature of the palace.
