In Yin Cheng's eyes, for an eagle that can no longer flap its wings to fly and embrace the blue sky, death is more dignified than living.
But in Chaoyang's heart, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he must always try hard, just in case... it can still fly.
Chaoyang was just shocked by the different positions between himself and Yin Cheng, but he couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong.
This world has always been cruel, and being kind to others is cruel to yourself.
But Yincheng is too suspicious.
He once killed a ten-year-old eunuch at the Summer Resort because he was worried that his identity would be leaked.
Chaoyang is hiding in the dark, his head is blank.
She didn't want to, she was afraid, afraid that Yin Cheng would go further and further away.
Bai Li, on the other hand, seems to be intentionally amplifying the dark side in Yin Cheng's heart, deliberately guiding him step by step to where he is today.
…
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she always wants to try again. Maybe, she can still save it.
"Mother, there is news from Fengtian that General Mu Huaicheng and His Majesty Fengtian have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone is safe. His Majesty Fengtian is inspecting the flood-stricken areas in the south of the Yangtze River and personally supervising the reconstruction of the disaster area."
Behind him, the palace maid came to deliver the news.
Obviously, Yin Cheng asked her to come.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Chaoyang nodded, as long as my brother is safe...
It is a risky move to completely expose your whereabouts to the attention of the people, but if you make the right move, it is a shortcut.
Xiao Junze... was indeed a born emperor. He knew that the word emperor was never a symbol of power.
It's the support of the people.
"Hmm..." Suddenly, my heart hurt again.
Chaoyang's whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he fell to the ground weakly.
Looking down at his heart in shock, Chaoyang's breathing slowed down for a long time.
If a heart palpitation was a coincidence, the feeling of heart palpitations has become more and more strange recently.
Unfortunately, she couldn't feel any problems with her body.
No pain, no injuries, no signs of poisoning...
…
Fengtian, the land south of the Yangtze River.
"Your Majesty, you are Your Majesty, how can you personally help us rebuild the Yueyang Tower? Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, this is impossible."
"Your Majesty has blessed all the people, and we, the people of Jiangnan, will remember this in our hearts."
Yueyang Tower is the symbol of Jiangnan, the tallest tower in Jiangnan, and a holy place of prayer for the people in Jiangnan.
As an emperor, Xiao Junze personally repaired the Yueyang Tower, which was the coexistence of divine favor and imperial grace.
"Your Majesty is a god coming to this world!"
"I am blessed by heaven!"
Above the Yueyang Tower.
Xiao Junze stood on a high place, looking down at all the people.
Is this the temptation of power?
Unfortunately, it’s not cold at high places.
"Junze, emperors are destined to be lonely..."
"When you gain power, you lose love. This is fate, a destiny that no one can change."
Once upon a time, the late emperor told Xiao Junze earnestly that if he wanted to become an eternal emperor, he must abandon all emotions.
Family, love, friendship.
No matter which one it is, it will only become a drag.
"Hmm..." His heart stung again, making Xiao Junze's beautiful eyebrows frown even more tightly, and his face turned pale.
This kind of pain is like insects eating my heart, it's indescribably strange.
"Your Majesty, we cannot keep up with General Mu's whereabouts. There is news from Baixiaotang that someone broke into the Poppy Organization a few days ago and killed hundreds of masters with one person."
Xiao Junze glanced at He Gu. Even if he didn't trust him, he was the person Chaoyang left by his side.
"Chaoyang..."
"The young lady is in the Dayu Palace, and His Majesty Dayu will protect her. It's just...His Majesty Dayu's secret guards have frequently been in and out of the Gobi recently. That is the former site of the ancient Jia Dynasty's treasure. Although no one knows where the treasure is now, but..." He
Gu is worried that Yin Cheng will not really give Chaoyang freedom.
Dayu has been calm on the surface recently, but in reality it has made too many small moves.
If Yin Cheng is really willing to leave with Chaoyang, there is no way he could be thinking about the treasure.
If Chaoyang is deceived...
Xiao Junze's fingers clenched more and more painfully, and the stinging pain in his heart continued to increase.
In the past few days, Xiao Junze discovered that... whenever he thought about Chaoyang, his heart felt like ants gnawing at him.
"She chose it herself..." Xiao Junze looked away.
It was Chaoyang who didn't want him.
"The people from Baixiaotang will guard her from behind and don't let anything happen to her." No matter what Chaoyang chooses, he will protect her within his ability and give her freedom.
It was an oath he made himself.
…
Western Region, wooden house outside the pass.
Yellow sand filled the sky, but the doors and windows of the wooden house were closed.
The wind and sand had subsided a bit, so Bei Ning limped back carrying firewood and cleaned up the sand rabbits he had brought.
She has been following Mu Jingyan for several days.
Ning He did not wake up, and Mu Jingyan did not harm Ning He.
But Bei Ning is still worried.
The sound of the xun echoed outside the empty gate, as if it was telling a lifetime.
Seeing Bei Ning looking at him warily, Mu Jingyan put down the soil xun in his hand and saw that Bei Ning's eyes were wandering.
That child should be about this old.
"Although I don't know what your purpose is, you are not qualified to kill my master." Bei Ning clenched the dagger in her hand vigilantly. She didn't want Ning He to be hurt again.
"Xiao Yi?" Mu Jingyan spoke, his voice weak.
"Please let us go..." Bei Ning was a little anxious. She just wanted to take Ning He away.
As for the grudges between Ning He and Mu Jingyan, she didn't want to know...
Back in Southern Xinjiang, Ning He got married as Princess Fengtian and used various means to reach a cooperative relationship with the King of Southern Xinjiang. Only then did she hide in the harem of Southern Xinjiang for so many years and barely survive until now.
If it weren't for Chaoyang, it would be because Mu Jingyan protected Mu Jingyan with his life...
Ning He will not be merciful to Chaoyang.
At that time, Ning He thought Chaoyang was the child of Mu Jingyan and Bai Li.
Bei Ning once heard Ning He mention when he was drunk that she and Mu Jingyan... also had a child.
It's just that the child died before he was born.
When Bai Li and Mu Jingyan escaped from Fengtian and her shadow was brutally punished for failing to monitor her, she died in the torture chamber of Anmei Building...
"Mu Jingyan..."
In coma, Ning He was still calling Mu Jingyan's name.
This person was like a curse. The deeper she hated him, the more heartbreaking her love became.
She is such a sober person, sober enough to know that Mu Jingyan does not love her, and sober enough to know that Mu Jingyan only sees white cats.
Looking at him soberly, he protected Baili again and again, facing her with swords.
"Mu Jingyan, kill me... Bai Li will be free, otherwise... she and I will fight to the death in this life."
When Mu Jingyan and Baili escaped from Anmeilou's control, Anmeilou asked her to be punished in Baili's place... life would be worse than death.
An Meilou ordered her to kill Baili.
How could Anmei Lou be willing to actually kill Baili? He just wanted to see her and the Baili sisters kill each other, brother and sister.
She hates Baili, and she is willing to be used by Anmeilou.
She was unwilling to just watch... watching Mu Jingyan take away Baili.
Watching the two of them sleep and fly together.
Mu Jingyan's sword pierced her chest, and the darkness in front of her made her despair.
She thought that one sword was enough to end love.
She thought that that sword was enough to cut off all her passion and madness towards Mu Jingyan.
That day, with her scars all over her body, she drove away all the masters of Dark Mei Tower. She secretly... wanted to let Mu Jingyan go.
She ruined all her options.
She had to die, and she just wanted to die in the hands of Mu Jingyan.
She watched helplessly as Mu Jingyan turned around, took Bai Li's hand, and left without any regrets.
He would never know that the pain all over her body, the unspeakable scars, and the newly lost child in her belly were all thanks to him.
Mu Jingyan.
This man made her hate her to the point of despair, but she couldn't bear to be cruel to him.
Why is it worth it for her to wake up and jump into hell?
