Hearing this, the empress could only nod her head. Looking at the water, his heart was filled with worry.
[This woman is so sincere. Does she really have a way?]
"I will give you three days. However, if you cannot get rid of your punishment within these three days, then I will execute your entire clan."
The emperor coldly said as he looked at Shui Ruo.
When Shui Long heard this, he took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "Many thanks, Your Majesty."
"Alright, you may leave." The Emperor waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
Although Shangguan Yun was very dissatisfied at the moment, but since the emperor had already spoken, she had no choice but to leave. When she left, she looked deeply at the crown prince. The Crown Prince didn't even want to look at her.
For a moment, he was extremely disappointed.
And Ye Huangze, after seeing Shangguan Yun walk out, hurriedly chased after her.
Everyone withdrew. Once they were outside, Shui Lengchuan looked at Night Emperor Yan before walking over to him and said, "Many thanks to the crown prince for helping me today."
"I couldn't do anything." The Night Emperor looked at Shui Long with a gentle gaze.
"Your Highness, for me, it is already unexpected that you stand against them. Why would I ask for anything else?" But Your Highness, you, who are so noble, actually cried for me. "
Shui Yuehan lowered his head, not knowing what to do with this feeling that he could not respond to.
Night Emperor's Flame and Night Emperor's Shang were different. No matter what, he would still be alive. Moreover, he shouldn't be too injured, right?
But Night Emperor's flames were different. Perhaps, he was the one who had the deepest feelings for him.
Because even before she knew him, he had always remembered her in his dreams.
Shui Yuehan lowered his head slowly as he thought to himself.
As Night Emperor saw this, he didn't say anything. He only pursed his lips and left.
After Night Emperor Yan had left, Night Emperor Shang finally walked over. "Raise your head, he has already left."
After hearing Nightmare Emperor Shang's words, Shui Ruo heaved a sigh of relief. "Truly, I really don't know how to face him."
"As long as it is an ordinary confrontation, it is fine. It is as if you are as cruel to me as you are to him. Because that's the only way you can be so carefree. "
Night Emperor Shang laughed as he looked at Shui Ruo, somewhat taunting him.
Shui Long rolled his eyes at him.
"Well, what do you plan to do next? Today's matter suddenly happened, causing even me to be shocked. " Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and asked worriedly.
Shui Ruo heard what was said and smiled mischievously. "Although I don't know who was the one who helped, but I know something important. "Don't worry, I won't have any problems."
"In that case, if you need anything, just tell me." As Night Emperor Shang spoke, he slowly dragged the water back.
When he came into contact with her waist, he was slightly surprised. "You didn't bring that sword?"
"Mm, you said that the sword seems to be very precious, so I thought about returning it to that person the next time I see him." I didn't give him anything, so it's never good to accept something this valuable. "
Shui Yuehan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang felt that the situation was not good.
"You're not looking for a reason to see him again, are you?" Emperor Shang looked at the water and asked unhurriedly.
Shui Long was startled when he heard this. He did not know how to reply to Night Emperor Shang.
"So it's like that." Night Emperor Shang laughed bitterly, "Nah, can you not see that person again? As long as it wasn't him, everyone was fine.
If you see him again, you'll be killed by him sooner or later. "
"How could that be?" Water frowned.
"That person cannot be known by others. If royal father knows that his identity is known by you, he will definitely send someone to kill you. Who will save you then?
Moreover, don't you like Night Emperor? If the Night Emperor knew about this, he would definitely be angry. "So, don't see that person again." Night Emperor Shang found many reasons. However, Shui Ruo still looked indifferent.
She knew all this.
But he still wanted to see the man. That person seemed a bit unreasonable, but concealed within was a dense sorrow. It was a person with the same fate as her.
When two people's fates were similar, there were only two possibilities.
One was the heat of the pinch, while the other was the appreciation of one another. She was very interested in that person. She even wanted to get closer to him, understand him more, as if this would comfort her as before.
Let yourself feel, perhaps not lonely.
Most of the time, the pain in his heart could only be relieved by someone who had the same kind of pain.
He was her person.
If Shui Ruo agreed to Night Emperor Shang's words, then she would no longer be Shui Ruo.
So naturally, Shui Long did not respond, and Night Emperor Shang also understood her choice. That's right, if she had given in so easily, she wouldn't have wanted to be with the Night Emperor at that time.
Furthermore, he wouldn't ignore the Shui family even after knowing the identity of the Night Emperor Cultivator. He wouldn't want to be with him too, right?
He didn't know why, but he could imagine her character.
No matter what, he would not listen to the opinions of others. For her, once she made a decision, it would be a lifetime, right?
"Let's go back." Night Emperor Shang's voice was very light, his tone gentle as he looked at the girl.
When Shui Long heard this, he blinked and looked at him. "Before I go back, there is one thing I want to confirm. Please accompany me."
"Eh?" Night Emperor Shang was doubtful, just what would happen to her at this time?
Filled with doubt, Night Emperor Shang left with the water.
On the banks of the Celestial Maiden Lake, there was a famous scene called the Celestial Water. It was said that fairies would come here slowly every year before displaying their goddesses' beauty in front of everyone. This was also the reason why it was known as the Immortal Water at the easternmost part of the lake.
Beside the Immortal Water Lake, a woman dressed in a bright yellow long skirt was sitting upright. Her appearance was grand and imposing, and her gaze was calm without a trace of emotion.
Looking at the youth who sat on the opposite side of the pavilion while half-leaning against the railing, his brows slightly furrowed.
"What do you want?"
Shangguan Yun lowered her voice and looked around, afraid that someone else would find out.
"Me? I'm fine, I just saw that Sister Yun was in danger and wanted to save you. " The Night King's smile was harmless, but his innocent appearance was not as adorable as he had imagined.
The man was very pleasing to the eye, but only those who knew his nature knew how terrifying that man was.
Wishing for him? It was just a facade.
Amongst the princes of the royal clan, the person who was the most terrifying was not Nightmare or the others, but the young man in front of them.
He did not have any rights, but he was like a fish in water in the harem. He did not have a king, but he could make others not dare to look down on him.
He wasn't as dazzling as the other princes, but he felt as though he existed. He seemed to be trying to please others every day, but in the end, the victor would always be him.
Shangguan Yun was not a fool. In the beginning, she would have been fooled by the person in front of her due to her impressions of him as a child. However, at this moment, she knew his true appearance.
But even if she knew, she couldn't regret it. This person was her first man, and the only one who would help her.
It was just like today. If it wasn't for him, she might not have been able to escape so easily.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yun's face revealed a hint of smile. She looked at Ye Huangze and said, "Thank you for today."
"No need to thank me. After all, this was caused by you and me from the beginning." But it's Sister Yun, I really didn't think that Sister Yun would use this kind of method to clarify herself. In the future, Brother Crown Prince won't talk to you anymore, right? "
The emperor smiled, but his words were firm.
Hearing that, Shangguan Yun took a deep breath and said: "It doesn't matter, since Your Highness has already given up on me, since that's the case, why not I do whatever I want?" Since there is no longer any value in waiting, it would be better to live for yourself. "
A hint of sadness appeared on Shangguan Yun's face. It was not hard to imagine how sad she would feel the moment the crown prince gave up on her and chose to enjoy the water.
The person he had been looking forward to for so many years was now completely far away from him.
As for her, even if she were to stay, it would be a luxury.
Between her and the water was life and death. The Crown Prince had chosen Shui Ruo, which meant that he wanted to help Shui Ruo let her die.
In order to live, she had to do this, right?
People are always selfish. No matter how much they love a person, when death is in front of them, there will always be changes.
Seeing Shangguan Yun act like this, Emperor Ye Ze smiled and walked step by step quietly to her side. He then carefully hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Rest assured, Sister Yun. I won't let you return to his side, nor will I make you sad anymore. Very soon, we will be together, just the two of us. "
Ye Huangze's tone was very light. With these words, he buried his head in her neck.
Shangguan Yun couldn't understand his words, but she just closed her eyes and let him do whatever he wanted.
She didn't have anyone to look forward to anymore, so she didn't need to be like jade anymore to protect the Crown Prince. Besides, she was already the man in front of her, so it was meaningless for her to persevere any longer.
Now, she could understand what that person had said to her.
It was better to find someone who loved him than someone who loved him. At the very least, the person who loved him wouldn't let him feel sad.
Within the pavilion by the Immortal Water Lake, a man and a woman were hugging each other. They looked as intimate as a pair of mummies.
Although the man was somewhat young, he had already displayed his domineering aura. The girl's appearance was elegant and graceful, and the two of them seemed to match each other somewhat.
The water stood leisurely on the other side of the lake, smiling as he looked at the people hugging each other.
"So it's like that."
"This …" Emperor Ye Shang looked at the two people hugging each other in shock, his entire being was stupefied.
Although he had guessed that Shangguan Yun might have brought a green hat to the crown prince, he hadn't thought that the person who would do it would be the Night King!
Is he crazy? You want to ruin me for a woman?
Night Emperor Shang wrinkled his brow.
He didn't know much about the Night Emperor's marsh. In the past, he liked to stand around him. Even though he looked obedient, he always acted against his will and liked to add insult to injury.
He hated Nightmare's personality, so he would always treat him with ill intent. But it had to be said that Ye Huangze was very smart. He knew which style of life was the easiest in the Imperial Palace. He also knew that he shouldn't push too hard when he wanted to obtain something.
Ye Huangze liked Shangguan Yun, he knew that. However, they had never expected that Ye Huangze would step up to this step for Shangguan Yun.
"Today, I received a note which stated that the Seventh Prince and the Crown Princess had an affair. If you would like to know more, please go to the lakeside."
The melodious voice of the water was very faint. Following the sound of her voice, Night Emperor Shang turned his head in surprise.
"Did you leave your name on this slip of paper?"
"No, it's just a very casual note." Shui spoke slowly, then took out the note and handed it to Night Emperor Shang.
Emperor Shang took the note and looked at the unfamiliar handwriting on it, at a loss.
"Who did this?"
