Although she had been abandoned, she believed that there would definitely be someone who would miss her and love her from afar. This person was her mother. Perhaps, she would never see him again. Perhaps, when she thought back to him, she would cry.
"Maybe so, but I didn't see her again until the day she died. When I finally saw her, she was almost in her grave. I told her that in your entire life, the only thing you might have done wrong was to give birth to me. But I didn't get the answer because she was already there. "
As Nighttime spoke, he walked to the side of the garden and plucked a blood-red flower.
"These flowers are called Manju Shahua, also called Hell's Flower. Back then, mufei really liked it. Because this was how she and her father were fated to be together. His father had found his mother in a sea of flowers.
His father had a favorable impression of his mother's wife. As for his mother's wife, she was shocked by her father.
"Back then, mufei was a very simple person. She quickly fell in love and returned to the palace with her father, becoming a sacrifice in the battle of the palace."
As Nighttime spoke, he glanced at the flower and saw that it had a hint of complexity in it. Perhaps this was the thing that had taken mufei's life.
"Beautiful flowers." Shui Long silently received the mana pearl sandstorm, looking at the flowers. In actuality, she did not feel that they were beautiful, but at this point in time, Nightmare had already spoken, so she could not help but accept them. However, when he looked at the flower in his hand, a hint of confusion flashed across his eyes.
Perhaps, Night Emperor Shang's mother was very happy. Because he had a man he loved. But at the same time, Night Emperor Shang's mother also suffered because the man she loved no longer loved her.
"She might not be wrong. The only thing wrong with her is that she fell in love with someone she shouldn't have." Shui Yuehan's voice was soft, but he made a judgement on the matter.
"In love with someone you shouldn't have?" Night Emperor Shang frowned, "Perhaps so. If not for this, royal father would not have stopped pampering her. Was it because she fell in love with another man in the palace that she ended up like that? Because she loves someone else, and she even wholeheartedly begs Royal Father's forgiveness. Waiting for Royal Father to come and fetch her may truly be very detestable. "
"…" I seem to know something extraordinary. Shui Wanshui was stupefied. This was completely different from what she had imagined. It was as if this Empress had taken a fancy to another man? It was simply too savage!
Under these circumstances, it would be good if he didn't get killed, right? As he thought about this, the corners of Shui You's mouth twitched, and he did not reply to Night Emperor Shang's words.
"Miss Shui, can you marry me?"
"Eh, ah?" Shui Long who was deep in thought did not hear what Emperor Shang said before agreeing. But after reacting, he suddenly raised his head. He saw a man who was so beautiful that it would make one's heart palpitate looking at him with gentleness.
This was not the first time that Shui Ruo had seen such tenderness on his face. However, this was the first time she saw him tell her that he was going to marry her at this moment.
But how could she marry him?
"Sorry, I refuse."
"Eh? Reject in such a straightforward manner? I can get hurt. "
With a very cruel look in his eyes, Emperor Shang teased Shui Jiu and teased him. She looked at the man, and her eyes curved.
As for Night Emperor Shang, when he saw Shui Yuejian's smile, a trace of doting appeared on his face.
Perhaps, even if he couldn't get her, it would be good to see her smiling so happily, right?
What a pity it is that even the least amount of love cannot be sought. He was just like a mother concubine who couldn't wait any longer. Or could it be that mufei had already given him a curse?
The emperor jokingly thought to himself.
However, he was very clear that the reason why Shui Ruo had rejected him was not because of a curse, nor was it because he did not love her. It was just that his love came too late.
While he was still curious about why the Night Emperor would give her the position of Royal Consort, Shui Ruo and Night Emperor Shang had already gotten married. Perhaps the marriage between the two of them was very hasty, or perhaps the events that occurred afterwards were very frightening. However, she had yet to receive the letter of rest, and she hadn't taken the initiative to ask to leave the Night Emperor.
These two people were like a pair of lovebirds that were temporarily separated. Because of this, he chose to leave her in the Crown Prince's Palace. This way, he would have a reason to go against the Crown Prince, and he would benefit from it.
As a prince, the first thing he had to do was to fight for the throne and exterminate humanity.
Since he was unable to force Shui Long to do so, this was the only way. As he thought this, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Miss Shui, what are you doing here?" Just as Shui Long and Night Emperor Shang were happily chatting, the crown prince's voice suddenly rang out.
With worry and anger.
Shui Ruo heard what was said and turned to look at the crown prince in confusion. He saw the crown prince furiously staring at Shui Ruo and Night Emperor Shang.
Even in his dreams, he would never have thought that Shui Long would be brought here by the princess consort. Even more so, he would never have expected that the princess would be together with Shui Long.
And what was even more unexpected was that when he arrived here so quickly, she was actually talking to Night Emperor Shang, and with a very happy look on her face. How could he tolerate this?
The Crown Prince looked at Shui Long and Night Emperor Shang, wishing that he could tear them apart immediately.
But good upbringing and his elegant habits had saved the water.
He looked at the two of them and slowly walked towards them. Then, he extended his hand towards the water and said gently, "Miss Shui, the palace is a land of war. Please follow me back."
"Imperial Brother, as a member of the Imperial Palace, you dared to judge the Imperial Palace in such a way? It's really sad. " On the other side, Night Emperor Shang's smile was harmless.
Upon hearing this, Night Emperor Yan shot a cold glance at Night Emperor Shang and continued to wait for the reply.
She already knew whether she should stay behind or leave with the crown prince. He could not allow his momentary anger to harm the future of the Shui family. Although he did not want to admit it, the crown prince was indeed very useful. With him around, it was easy for the Shui Family to recover.
Even though the Night Emperor had secretly helped, it was a small matter after all. The Night Emperor was already grounded due to her matter, and if he were to help now, he would definitely be angered by the emperor and be put in a more passive position.
The only way to prevent trouble was to stay by the crown prince's side and make use of him!
Even though it was despicable, she did it for the sake of the Night Emperor, and she did it for the sake of her own clan, so she had no choice but to do so. Shui Ruo smiled as he placed his hand in the man's palm.
Seeing Shui Long being so obedient, Night Emperor smiled in satisfaction. Then he pulled the water and left.
As for Night Emperor Shang, as he watched the two's back view, his expression slightly became distorted.
Why? Why did this man get anything? Just because he was the crown prince? Because he was sent by the empress?
Heh! How ironic. When he was unable to eat any food, that man was currently extravagantly eating, and even threw away the food. While he was still unable to sleep due to the cold, that man was currently reading a book under the protection of the warm stove.
Just as he was about to lose all hope in his life, that man appeared like a king in pity.
Everything was the exact opposite. He was just like a foil to that man. As for her mother, she was a victim in this harem battle.
Hatred? No, hatred could no longer explain his feelings towards the empress and his wife.
Or should it be said that he wished that he could hack these two people into a thousand pieces and throw them into the wilderness?
However, this was obviously not likely.
The only thing he could do was to take away what they valued the most.
As he was thinking, Night Emperor Shang suddenly began to laugh in a low voice.
On the other side, the crown prince was holding onto water, water was following by his side, all the way, looking at his gloomy face, he whispered, "Your Highness, please don't be angry."
"I'm not angry with you." The crown prince's tone was gloomy as he looked at the rouge on Shui Ruo's face, his expression twisting for a moment, "You … Are you afraid that people will recognize you? "
"If you were to recognize him, it will bring you trouble, right?" Shui laughed leisurely.
"It's hard on you. It was all Shangguan Yun, that damned woman! How dare you bring me into the palace while this prince is not around? "
Night Emperor Yan's face was filled with anger.
When Shui Long heard this, he laughed even more innocently: "Your Highness, it was actually the Empress who brought me into the palace."
It was the two of them. Shui Ruo added in her heart, but she did not say it out loud.
There were some words that just needed to be said. Nightmare was very smart, she could easily guess what was going on, but if she told him everything, he would actually dare to dislike her. So, it was better to say half of it, and let him guess.
Shui Ruo looked at the crown prince, and sure enough, when he heard Shui Ruo's words, the man's face turned ugly.
He knew of the empress's methods. Who knew how many women in the imperial harem had been mysteriously killed by her? And now, her hand had already penetrated deep into his crown prince's mansion? Sure enough, that woman called Ling'er shouldn't have stayed back then!
If he didn't stay, perhaps Shui Ruo wouldn't have entered the palace. From the looks of it, he had to rearrange things after he returned this time. He could not allow outsiders to enter the Crown Prince's Palace, nor could he allow Shangguan Yun to leave!
As he thought about it, the Crown Prince's eyes turned cold. He had already made his decision.
On the other side, when Shui Ruo and the Crown Prince had returned to the Crown Prince's Palace, the Crown Princess and Ling'er were preparing to leave slowly.
"Mother, your daughter-in-law will take her leave first. As for that little slut, I'll have to trouble you to catch her. My daughter-in-law, it's not good for her to let the Crown Prince know about this. Shangguan Yun's tone was clever and tactful. Hearing that, the Empress did not feel that anything was amiss, and she nodded, ordering Ling'er to return with her.
After that, he ordered some people to go to the Night Emperor Shang and see if they could capture him.
However, she didn't expect that when the people she sent back came back, they brought her bad news: Shui Ruo wasn't there at all!
"Are you sure you're not seeing things?" The empress sat upright, her face ugly.
Hearing that, the servant hurriedly said, "Esteemed Empress, that young lady is really strange. It would be hard for a servant to make a mistake even if he wanted to. And there's not a single person by His Highness' side, it's just that His Highness is there himself. "
"I understand. You may leave." The queen's attitude was not good, but she did not flare up in front of the court. After the court lady left, the empress's expression turned even uglier. With a flick of his sleeve, all the cups fell to the ground, "Damn it! He had been schemed against! That damned woman! You actually dared to plot against me! "
He wanted someone to scheme against him! For the empress, this was an extraordinary shame and humiliation. The empress had always been the one to plot against others, so how could she allow others to plot against her?
Moreover, the one who schemed against her was an unknown nobody. How could he tolerate this?
However, that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that she had been set up, so it would be difficult for the Crown Princess to do anything.
"Ha!" It was rare for her to want to help her, but she didn't expect the heavens to forbid it. Seeing her son, she could only let Shangguan Yun fend for herself. However, she hoped that Yan Er would show mercy because of her family background. However, compared to that, I should find Yan Er a woman. "
The queen's attitude was graceful as she took out the register. He began to look for the next suitable candidate for the Empress.
Just as Shangguan Yun had expected, once something happened, the empress would choose to push her away, and even Ling'er would not be willing to take her.
