Hearing this voice, Night Emperor Shang thought that he was lucky. He turned around, and sure enough, he saw Wan'er smiling and bowing to him.

"Get up." Emperor Shang looked at Xiang Wan'er and spoke indifferently.

When Wan'er heard this, she raised her head, but was surprised to see the man beside Ye Huang Shang.

This person's eyes were filled with grief. Not only that, he seemed extremely agitated as he stared at her, as though he was looking at an old friend.

"Your Highness, this is?" Wan-Er asked as she looked at the man curiously.

"Phoenix-Resting." Night Emperor Shang introduced him with a smile.

Wan-Er was surprised, "Feng Xi? Was it that genius who became the top scholar at the age of fifteen? So he's still here. "

Wan-Er's words gave him hope.

From what Wan-Er said, she seemed to know about Feng Xi. Therefore, there was definitely hope!

Thinking this way, a bright smile appeared on Night Emperor's face. "You know quite a lot about him. Coincidentally, this king still has some things to do, so I'll leave it to you first."

As he spoke, Night Emperor Shang cleverly left the stage.

When the Night Emperor left for another place, only Wan'er and Feng Qi remained in the corner of the banquet hall.

Feng Xi looked at Wan Er. He was so excited that he couldn't even speak. This girl was almost the same as Die'er. Her every word and action was very similar.

Could it be that the heavens wanted to give him another butterfly?

"That, Young Master?" Wan Er was still an unmarried woman after all. She couldn't help but feel shy when she saw Feng Xi looking at her so passionately.

"Eh?" Feng Ji replied.

"Is the young master a good friend of the prince?" Wan'er asked curiously.

"No. "I just know him." Feng Xi's voice was softer than before, and it lacked the tit for tat when he faced Night Emperor Shang and Shui Ruo.

Wan-Er felt a bit nervous as she listened to him. For some reason, even though it was her first time meeting him, she felt very at ease and wanted to get close to him.

This man made her feel more at ease than the prince.

"Young Master, what do you like?" Wan-Er held back for a long time before finally finding a topic to talk about.

When Feng Xi heard this, his smile became gentler. "Zither, wine, peach blossoms."

"Peach Blossom?" Really? I like peach blossoms too. The smell of the peach blossoms makes me feel like I'm the peach blossoms themselves. " Wan-Er seemed to have found a close friend as she excitedly said.

However, the moment she said those words, the man was stupefied.

Back then, at the same time, that woman had also said the same thing to him. From then on, the peach blossoms became his favorite thing. And now, that woman was saying the same thing to him. Were they really not the same person? Was all this a coincidence?

But was there really such a coincidence in this world? Feng Xi didn't know. He was even at a loss.

"Young Master? What's wrong with you? " Looking at the dumbstruck Feng Xi, Wan'er was dumbfounded. What was going on with this man? Why was he always staring at her in a daze? It was completely different from what he had imagined. Back then, when she heard her father mention this fifteen-year-old top scholar young master, she had looked forward to it.

After all, to be able to become a top scholar at that age, his future must be very broad. How much courage did he have to choose to leave at such a time?

She admired this person's courage and also admired this person's talent, but she didn't admire the person's dazed look! Wan-Er was troubled.

He looked at the girl, smiled, and gently said, "I'm sorry, but I'm looking at young lady. I can't help but think of old friends, but young lady is so similar to them that I almost confused you two with each other."

"Old friends? Who is that person? " He blinked his eyes at Wan-Er and asked curiously.

"Who is it?" The man looked at the wine cup on the table with nostalgia and laughed: "That person is probably the most interesting girl in the world, right? She was not as gentle as an ordinary girl. Her temper was very bad, but others liked her. She didn't have much talent, but she couldn't help but want to go with her.

I think she's the most interesting woman in the world. "

"Eh? Do I resemble her? " Xiang Wan'er hadn't thought that men would like such women, and she was somewhat conflicted at the similarity in her words.

If they were similar, didn't that mean she didn't have a good temper and talent?

"It's very similar, but the girl is much better than her." Feng Xi looked at Wan Er and said.

Wan-Er blushed when she heard it.

"Young master really knows how to speak, but if young master likes that girl so much, then where is she?" Wan'er asked curiously.

"Dead." Feng Xi's voice was not loud, and even his tone was clear. However, Xiang'er felt that he was very sad.

It was a sadness that seeped into his bones. It was indescribable and could not be released. He could only bear it silently.

This person was truly strange. However, he was an interesting man.

Wan-Er looked at the man and was suddenly interested in him.

"Does the Young Master want to tell me about you and her?" He looked at the man and spoke sincerely.

"She?" Feng Xi frowned. He really didn't want to talk about Die'er. That woman took up a large part of his life. She was the most important existence in his life. Every time he thought about her, the pain pierced through his heart.

"I really want to get to know young master." The woman's tone was gentle as she looked at Feng Xi and said with expectation.

Feng Xi didn't expect Wan-Er to say that, so he didn't refuse and could only nod. "Okay, okay."

When Feng Xi was talking to Wan'er about the past, she was listening attentively without blinking an eye, even bringing Cai'er and himself in. Then, he realized that Die'er was really similar to him.

The same naivety, the same clumsiness, then the same liking for the unlovable Night Emperor Shang. However, it was a pity that she had this man that loved her and he had nothing. He could only be by himself.

"Miss Dia'Er is really enviable." Wan-Er's voice was low and she sounded a bit depressed.

The man blinked and looked at Wan Er in confusion.

Wan-Er didn't explain. She just took a sip of the wine on the table and looked at Feng Xi as if she was looking at something of her own.

Meanwhile, not far away, Night Emperor Shang looked in their direction, and upon seeing the state the two were in, thought to himself that this might be feasible.

However, he had forgotten. In this emotional scheme, the one who was truly passive was the one who fell in love with the other. From this point of view, Feng Xi had no chance of winning from the start.

That was because no matter what, he liked this woman who had the same face as Die'er.

"The Third Marquis seems to be very worried about Young Lady Xiang." When the Third Marquis was looking at Wan'er, he heard a man's voice beside him.

Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang turned his head, only to see that the person who had arrived was the eldest son of the Emperor, Xiang Jue. This man had a very refined aura. Because he once saved the emperor, he was a frequent guest of the royal palace. Back then, someone said that he would definitely marry Princess Thirteen in the future.

However, after a period of time, he stopped entering the palace. Every time he called himself sick, after a long time, no one knew who he was.

Why, did he come today as well?

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Night Emperor could not help but smile. "What are you saying? I am only worried about my friend. My friend is a clumsy person, so I'm afraid that he might accidentally offend and anger you."

"Since you know your friend is clumsy, don't put him in a position that he shouldn't have. You can't scheme against a girl. "

The man looked at Night Emperor Shang, his brow creased in warning.

Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang also disagreed, only smiling. He looked at the man as if he was looking at trash.

"Have you finished? Then please leave me. " Night Emperor Shang's attitude was very decisive. When the man heard this, he was somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not say anything. In the end, his gaze landed on Xiang Wan, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have appeared in the palace. Although he had heard from the Prime Minister that Miss Wan'er was more and more pure, he didn't expect her to be so naive as to converse with strangers. Shouldn't her target be the Emperor Ye Shang?

The man helplessly sighed before sitting not too far away from Night Emperor Shang, wanting to see just what had happened.

The banquet started very quickly, and just as the atmosphere started to get lively, the main character of the day arrived. The crown prince was wearing a yellow python robe as he walked in with a bad complexion. As for the crown prince's consort, she was following beside him with a pale face.

As soon as the two entered, the air in the room instantly became cold. Everyone looked at the couple and felt that they were interesting.

Those with discerning eyes could tell at a glance that the two were in an awkward situation. As for why they were doing this, that would be interesting.

Everyone was curious about this matter. When Night Emperor Shang saw this, his heart calmed down a little. It seemed that the Crown Prince had ultimately chosen Shui Ruo over the throne.

Not long after the arrival of the crown prince and the crown prince's consort, the emperor's queen had finally arrived as well.

Everyone kneeled down and cried out in unison. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!

After that, they called him the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess for a thousand years.

Then the banquet began in this gloomy atmosphere. The Crown Prince kept a cold face, while the Crown Princess kept trying to please him.

As the emperor, the empress had always been active in the atmosphere, hoping to make the two of them better, but to no avail.

"Father, after the banquet is over, this son has something to tell you." Just when everyone thought that the Crown Prince wouldn't speak today, the Crown Prince finally spoke. This, too, was what the ministers wanted to see the most.

When the emperor heard this, he could not help but look at the crown prince and then at the empress beside him. He saw the disappointment on the empress's face. He finally understood. Then he said, "You are tired today. You should wait until tomorrow. Furthermore, the banquet is not over yet, so don't mention it. "

"Yes, royal father." The crown prince replied respectfully. He knew that this was the reason why the emperor didn't want him to make that choice.

The beauties of rivers and mountains would always have one chosen and one discarded. He didn't want this river or mountain, he only wanted the beauty that he had been yearning for so long. Unfortunately, not everyone seemed to have a choice.

Thinking this, Night Emperor Yan couldn't help but sneer.

"Is Your Highness really going to speak of my matter?" Shangguan Yun looked at Ye Huangyan and asked in a low voice.

"Why can't I say that you've committed the crime of cheating on the ruler?" The Crown Prince looked at Shangguan Yun and said in disgust.

"But, I did all of this for the sake of His Highness. In all these years, His Highness has never touched me, nor did he think about my feelings, I just hope that His Highness would treat me better. " Shangguan Yun's voice was not loud, but it was full of grievance.

Hearing this, Night Emperor Yan was momentarily moved, but he quickly replied, "It's not like I let you marry me, you brought this upon yourself."

"That's right, chenqie brought this upon herself. But Your Highness, chenqie had no choice but to marry Your Highness that year. The emperor had decreed that the empress would arrange for the marriage. Even if chenqie wanted to break the engagement, she couldn't. Chenqie was just a woman, how could she be a match for the arrangements of a superior? Ever since chenqie married over, she has never asked for anything from me. Even if Your Highness had treated me badly, you would still be willing to go through with it. " Shangguan Yun continued.

"Then isn't it fine to just continue like this? "Why hurt her?" The man frowned.

"Because chenqie is jealous. Your consort has done so much for your highness, but in the end, your highness didn't even give me a glance. It was that woman who, without needing to do anything, had obtained your highness' love. If His Highness has never been gentle to others, chenqie would have let His Highness treat her as he pleases. However, upon seeing him treat her, chenqie realized that her majesty would also treat others with such gentleness. So it turns out that it's not that his Highness doesn't love me, it's just that he simply doesn't love me. "

Shangguan Yun became a little excited as she said this.

Hearing Shangguan Yun's words, Night Emperor Yan hesitated. Although he hated Shangguan Yun, he didn't hate her to the point of certain death. After so many years as husband and wife, although they weren't as real as husband and wife, they were still together day and night.

Moreover, what she said was right. After all these years, even if she didn't have any merits, she still had to put in some hard work. Thinking of this, Night Emperor Yan truly hesitated. Should he reveal her crime of deceiving the monarch? At the end of the day, her crime of deceiving the monarch was partly due to him.

If it wasn't for the fact that he hadn't touched her all these years … The Crown Prince frowned.

"Who is it!"

Just as Night Emperor was considering whether he should temporarily put this matter aside, he heard a cry of alarm from within the hall, and before the crown prince could raise his head, Shangguan Yun rushed out from beside him and said, "Your Highness, be careful."

As he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a knife entering his body. He raised his head and saw the back of the woman who had been blabbering away beside him, as well as the blooming blood-red lotus flower on his back.
