"Old friend, you're here. Why don't you come out and take a look?" Night Emperor Shang spoke again.

This time, the person inside moved.

He stopped playing the zither, stood up from behind the screen, and slowly walked out.

It was a young man about twenty years old.

She had delicate features, and her thin lips were slightly pursed. It was a bit cold, but also a bit lonely.

However, it was very pretty. In particular, there was a pair of slender phoenix eyes. The sadness contained within them made it hard for him to breathe, just like the time when he was playing the zither.

Looking at him like this, she suddenly felt that perhaps his matters were not as simple as Emperor Shang had said they were. Perhaps it should be said that even though Emperor Shang knew about it, he had concealed it from her.

"Long time no see." Just as Water was sizing him up, the man spoke up.

His voice was light and gentle, but it was far too distant.

Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang also laughed. The smile was delicate and charming. "Long time no see? That's true. We haven't seen each other since the Duoqin Great Assembly three years ago. "

"Indeed. That's why, we shouldn't be considered friends, right? " The man looked at Night Emperor Shang, and unhesitatingly exposed the lies of his friends that he had spoken.

"That's true. Speaking of which, we are still enemies. You took away the zither that I want the most. " The smiling eyes of the Night Emperor slightly narrowed.

"Your skills are inferior." The man was calm.

"Forget about it. I'm not going to talk about this anymore. Today, I have come here with a request." In the blink of an eye, Night Emperor Shang changed his words, pulling water over his mouth as he spoke in a serious tone.

When the man heard this, he went silent for a moment. Lifting his eyes, he looked at Shui Long and Night Emperor Shang.

"Don't look at us like that." Night Emperor Shang was dissatisfied with his gaze.

"Is this your woman?" The man's voice was calm, but his question was obvious.

"No." Night Emperor Shang also replied decisively.

"Then why did you bring it?" The man looked at Night Emperor Shang and asked in confusion.

"If I tell you about it and bring it to you, would you believe me?"

Night Emperor Shang teased.

"What do you think?" the man asked. With these words, he walked to the side of Shui Yuehan. He looked at her: "The sigh from outside seems to be yours right?" How rare, even though it doesn't seem like fate, it still resonates with my zither music. "

"Is that a compliment?" Water smiled innocently. It revealed the purest of aspects.

To be exact, it was on the surface, it was the purest side that didn't scare people.

This was also the side she was most satisfied with.

At the same time, it was also what other people liked the most.

When the man saw the carefree and harmless smile on Shui's face, he only frowned. Then, he looked at Night Emperor Shang and said, "I don't welcome guests here. On the account of you and I having met before, have a cup of tea and then leave."

"That won't do. I came this time for a reason." The smile on Night Emperor Shang's face became even more brilliant. Looking at the man, he made up his mind that he would not leave.

"No matter what the reason is, and no matter what the matter is, I will not interfere." No matter the reason, and no matter what the reason is, I will not interfere in any of the matters.

With that, the man started to pour tea for the two of them.

When Night Emperor saw this stance, he raised an eyebrow and said, "If I were to say that this matter is related to the Night Emperor's flames, wouldn't you be interested as well?"

Emperor Ye Shang's words caused the man's hands to pause as he slowly raised his head.

"That's right, you and Night Emperor Yan are brothers, right?"

"Eh, that's right." Night Emperor Shang nodded, somewhat taken aback. I didn't expect him to ask that.

"You will easily tell me about the Night Emperor's flames?" The man was in disbelief.

"I don't want to tell you if I can, but this time there's nothing I can do. "But I won't beg you for anything." Night Emperor Shang looked at him and solemnly declared.

"That's true. It's very difficult for you to bring shame upon yourself." The man's venomous tongue fell as he looked at Shui Ruo.

"Is he here for you?" the man asked as he looked at the water.

Shui Long's mouth twitched when he heard this. "Can I say that?"

"It isn't?" The man raised an eyebrow.

"Well, yes. I have something to ask of you. " Shui Ruo felt helpless, but she was indeed not good at dealing with men with venomous tongues.

"Then, seeing that he brought disgrace to me and made me happy, let me ask, what's your name?"

"The water lasts forever." Shui's tone became more and more powerless, and even had the impulse to drag Night Emperor Shang away.

This man's every word was full of thorns. He did not seem like a hermit master at all. He did not have an elegant temperament.

Rather than letting him continue taunting Night Emperor Shang, it was better for him to leave as soon as possible.

"People from the Shui Family?" After hearing that she was Shui Long, the man was slightly surprised. And then he looked at Night Emperor Shang, saying, "I never thought that you would actually have a relationship with the merchant's daughter."

The man's words caused the Emperor to lower his head. He didn't say anything.

"Ha!" Perhaps it was because Die'er was too poor back then and because she was the daughter of a merchant, she was disliked by you. " As the man spoke, he placed the cup of tea into the hands of Shui Ruo and Night Emperor Shang, "Drink it, and then scram."

"Are you sure you don't want to help? If you don't help, Ye Huangyan will definitely hate you to death and kill you. " Night Emperor Shang looked at the man and threatened him.

"That's fine too." After the man said this, he signaled for the two of them to hurry up and drink some tea.

Shui Ruo listened attentively to the two of them talking. In the end, he only managed to grasp onto one important point. Die'er.

"Hey, is that woman called Die'er the regret in your heart?" Shui Long looked at the man and asked word by word.

The moment she asked the question, the entire scene instantly dropped to a freezing point. The man's face was also very pale.

When Night Emperor Shang heard this, he was equally shocked. He didn't think that she would suddenly ask about this.

Dia'Er was the name he would never want to mention again in his life if he could.

Back then, because of that woman, he'd suffered a lot. It was precisely because of this man that this person in front of him had become like this.

Who would have thought? Could the unparalleled top scholar in the past have become like this?

"Forget it, since you insist on not helping, then let's go." But don't regret it. " Emperor Shang looked at the man and said coldly.

Just as Shui Ruo and Night Emperor Shang walked out of the room, the man called out to them, "Wait. Say it clearly. What is it? "

The man spoke in a staccato manner, clearly hesitating.

Hearing this, Emperor Ye Shang's eyes lit up. "I hope that you can go see someone."

"Who is it?"

"Wan'er." Night Emperor Shang became solemn.

"Who is that?" The man didn't understand.

"Ha!" That's true. No wonder you don't know, back when you were top scholar, she was still a little girl. " Night Emperor smiled, then he took out a drawing paper from his bosom.

The man opened it doubtfully. However, when he saw the person on it, he instantly became excited.

He stared at the painting in disbelief. When he looked back at the emperor's face, he was already a little surprised.

"You, this is... "Die'er?"

"This is Wan'er, not your Butterfly." Night Emperor Shang felt a headache as he explained.

"Not her? No, impossible! It's exactly the same! "

"Let's talk about this later. Can you come with me now?" Looking at the man, Night Emperor Shang indifferently asked.

"Why do you want me to see her?" Even though he was very excited, the man did not lose his mind. Almost instantly, he reacted and looked at Night Emperor Shang, asking.

"Very simple. Have her fall in love with you and then clear up a matter for this girl." Night Emperor Shang did not say what it was.

The man thought about it for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, but I won't go with you."

"The carriage is very small. Even if you want to go with us, I won't let you. You just need to go to the capital later and then come to my place. "

With these words, the Emperor finished the cup of tea in one gulp and then left.

Shui Ruo didn't speak until they were out of here.

"So, didn't you not use me to do something? "Why do you want me to think of a way?" Water frowned. He recalled what he had said on the way back and needed her to find a way to get the man to help her.

"Didn't you already do it?" The Night Emperor's smile was charming.

"Eh?" What did you do? "

Water blinked slowly, confused.

"Die'er, you should not have mentioned that woman at the time. Then, he probably saw in your eyes what he saw in that woman's eyes all those years ago, which is why he kept us here to continue questioning. "

Night Emperor Shang sighed.

"Die'er? "Then who is it?" Water was curious.

Hearing this, a complicated look appeared in Emperor Ye Shang's eyes. He then said with a bitter smile, "That is a woman that caused trouble for me, Ye Huangyan, and even that man. All three of them will not be able to live peacefully."

"Then, where was the person just now?" Water continued to ask.

"Him?" Shui Ruo mentioned him and became a bit helpless: "Ten years ago, in the imperial court, there was a fifteen-year-old young man who had won the top scholar. His name was Feng Xi."

"Fifteen?" Shui Long was shocked. In my hometown, a fifteen-year-old child still grows up under my parents' wing, right?

Prime Minister, this isn't something that can be accomplished with just hard work.

"Yeah, fifteen years old, genius, right? It was said that many people were shocked back then. Even His Majesty wanted to betroth Princess Thirteen to him. Unfortunately, the Thirteenth Princess was still young, and he already has a place in his heart. "

"Where does the heart belong to? It's that Die'er, right? " Shui Ruo said without even guessing.

"That's right. Die'er was his childhood sweetheart, and she came to the capital after he won the top scholar. Lived in his Top Scorer's residence. "

"What happened next? "What about Butterfly?" Water continued to ask.

"Later?" As he finished speaking, Night Emperor Shang had truly lost all will to smile.

"The fifteen-year-old Top Scholar's reputation has spread far and wide. The ministers have also tried to win him over. His demeanor was graceful, his personality was friendly, he had a cheerful zither, he could make wine, and he also had a good calligraphy skill. People called him the number one young master in the capital. She was liked by many women. He should have a beautiful future.

But unfortunately … He was in love with a woman he should not have been in love with.

That was about five years ago? Night Emperor Yan had just been awarded the title of crown prince. A banquet of officials. Because she was curious, Die'er pestered Feng Xi and told him to take her. And it was also because of this time. Die'er fell in love with Nightmare at first sight and continued to crazily pursue him. She did not hesitate to do anything for him. However, you also know about that person, Night Emperor Yan. His heart was filled with the fairies of his dreams, blind to all women. Die'er was truly upset that she had paid wrongly.

However, whenever she was sad, Feng Qi would comfort her from behind.

I found it very interesting, so I tried to strike up a conversation with her, and, as always, with other women, began to coax her, and then, sure enough, she fell in love with me. Dia'Er was a very serious woman. As long as she liked someone, she would wholeheartedly devote her heart to them. But unfortunately, I'm not her good person. Soon, I got tired of it.

When I suggested we split up, she cried for a long time, and then, Feng Xi made it easy for me to do it. Even though we have never met, but I got scolded by him quite a few times, and he scolded me like a dog.

In the end, I went to Die'er, hoping that she and Feng Ji would make it clear that I didn't want him to misunderstand her. The result could be imagined? She started to pester me, and finally even jumped off the cliff because of me. I was scolded for a long time over this. Some people even said that I was cruel and would not save anyone if they saw me die. "
