This humble subject. This self-proclaimed expert caused all the ministers in the hall to suck in a breath of cold air.
Only the heavens knew how great a calamity had befallen the Prince of the Southwest when he had claimed to be a humble subject.
At that time, the Emperor and the Prince of the Southwest argued, and the Prince of the Southwest couldn't help but say so. Not long after that, the army had arrived, but the Prince of the Southwest had turned a blind eye to it. The imperial government had suffered numerous losses.
In the end, the Emperor had no choice but to apologize. Only the ministers of the court knew of this matter, because the emperor felt it was too embarrassing. He even ordered them not to speak of it. If anyone dared to speak of it, he would kill that person.
At that time, the ministers naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Now, many years later, the Prince of the Southwest once again called himself that?
"Your Highness, this old subject also feels it's a bit inappropriate to call you Your Majesty right now. It's better to wait until the inauguration ceremony."
The speaker was the cabinet.
Hearing that, Night Emperor Yan nodded his head. "That's fine, since there are people who do not agree, let's do it this way." This throne will be mine sooner or later. "
After Nightmare Emperor said this, he ignored the expressions of the ministers and left with a flourish of his sleeves.
After Night Emperor Yan left, the empress, who had been sitting here without saying a word, opened her mouth, "Prince of the Southwest, I have something I wish to say to you.
"Sister-in-law." The Prince of the Southwest said in a low voice, looking at the Empress with a complicated expression.
When the Queen heard this, she gave a slight smile. Her appearance was quite charming.
Although the empress was not as adorable as the concubines and concubines, nor as ethereal and gentle as the talented girls, she had a unique air to her. This was a noble air that those poor women would never be able to cultivate in their entire lives.
The phoenix descended upon the world from birth.
Noble and powerful women were often respected by others. However, when they fell in love with such a woman, there was no doubt that it would be painful.
A woman like that had her own opinions and things that she approved of. No matter who it was, they could not change it.
The Empress and the Prince of the Southwest had been good friends many years ago, but after the Empress and the Emperor were married, that friendship was broken. But was there really a friendship between men and women in this world?
"Will the Prince of the Southwest reward us?" The Empress wore a smile on her face as she looked at the complicated expression on the face of the Prince of the Southwest.
"Sister-in-law request, how dare Lin Feng disobey?" With that, the King of Southwest left with the empress.
The ministers only speculated about it, but didn't dare to make any bold claims.
The imperial harem. A gorgeous cage.
When the Prince of the Southwest followed the Empress into the empress's chamber, he couldn't help but laugh mockingly. "You lived like this just for this place?"
"I have never done this for the sake of external appearances." The empress looked indifferent.
"That is to say, you are in love with your royal brother? "Since you love your royal brother, why do you want to do so?"
"Would you believe me if I had not done anything to the emperor?" The empress's gaze fell on the man. The hand under her sleeve clenched into a fist, as if she had made some sort of decision.
He threw himself into the arms of the Prince of the Southwest, "Lin Feng, I have never thought of harming the Emperor. Although the Emperor's heart is not with me, I have never felt sad. Because there has always been a person in my heart. "
Hearing this, the Prince of the Southwest raised his brows, "Sister-in-law wants to tell me, is the person you're talking about me? Heh! What about the methods used by the harem women? Did sister-in-law finally use them as well? "
"Lin Feng, how can you trust me?"
The Queen frowned.
"From the day you became my sister-in-law, there was no trust between us."
"Even if I'm willing to die for you?" The Queen asked.
"Will you? No way. You can't bear to part with this lofty position, nor can you bear to part with this magnificent palace. You can't bear to be looked at with envy. You've been like this since you were little. Bold, with your own ideals.
At that time, you would meet me, and we would be good friends. Actually, it was just for a gamble, a gamble that one day, I could become emperor, right? However, in the end, I let you down, so you set your heart on your royal brother. As you wish, you've gotten everything you wanted. "
The Prince of the Southwest's tone was full of sarcasm, looking at the empress as if she was looking at something dirty. However, beneath that so-called disdain was a sense of helplessness and deep love.
Love deeply hate, because of the love, so will hate.
The words of the Prince of the Southwest stung the Queen deeply. She looked at the Prince of the Southwest with a complicated look in her eyes, "Is that the kind of person I am in your eyes? Heh! "Think about it, it makes sense. I've betrayed you by marrying the Emperor."
"Since you already know, you don't have to say anymore, right?" I don't care if you really killed my royal brother, I don't care if you really like my royal brother or not. But I hope you won't see me again. " The Prince of the Southwest looked at the empress, his tone becoming colder and colder.
Upon hearing this, the empress's face paled, but she did not loosen her hold on him.
"Since you don't want to see me, then push me away. As long as you can push me away, I won't see you again. As long as you reject me, there won't be any connection between us in this life. Can you do it? "Lin Feng?"
The queen's words were sly. Asking her to give up on him? Of course she could, she had no interest in the Prince of the Southwest himself. But for her to give up on this shield? That's impossible.
Now that Yan'er was about to ascend to the throne, it would be difficult for her to get to the top of the imperial court in a short period of time. If there was no one to help him, then someone would inevitably sneak in.
Initially, she was also in a difficult position, but after all, how was she going to make Night Emperor Yan stand firm on his feet? However, she didn't expect the person who shouldn't have appeared in front of her to appear.
The Night Emperor Lin Feng, the younger brother of the Emperor, was also the only person the Emperor did not want to kill.
It was not because he did not want to, nor because of the friendship between brothers, but because of this person's talent.
He was tactful and had great talent, so the imperial government couldn't do anything without him. And none of this was the most important thing. The important thing was that he couldn't refuse her.
Ever since he was young, he had always helped her get whatever she wanted. This time, it would be no exception.
The person who understood men the best was definitely a woman. The empress's guess was indeed correct.
When the Queen asked him to push her away. The uncountable beauties of the Southwestern Prince hesitated.
Push it away?
Night Emperor Lin Feng looked at the woman who was embracing him. She no longer had the peerless grace and grace of the past, and no longer had the innocence and innocence of the past. But he still couldn't push him away.
He boasted that he had the most beautiful woman in the world, that he could not live without beauties, but in reality, he only wanted to use this method to know whether this person would still feel jealous for him, and whether, like back then, he would burn his own residence because of jealousy.
But the result was hard to accept. The first time she brought a beauty in front of her, she was wholeheartedly taking care of another man. Smile for another man. And that man was still his royal brother.
Then, her gaze landed on her, and the first sentence she said was: "Is this Lin Feng's wangfei? "Very beautiful."
Nothing is more sad than the death of the heart. However, he couldn't give up.
After that, his mansion became bigger and bigger, and he had more and more beauties. However, he still couldn't wait for that scene to unfold. He did not dare to appear in the capital.
Not because of his royal brother's punishment, but because of this person. His heart ached every time he saw her. He was even afraid that one day, he would be unable to bear it any longer and would hold her in his arms, never letting her go.
It didn't matter even if it was outrageous. For the sake of the one he loved, even if he had to die, he was willing to do so.
However, even after he had dodged for so long, he was still unable to do so.
Closing his eyes, the Prince of the Southwest suppressed all his complex emotions, and then he hugged her with almost all his strength.
The only thing that hadn't changed in the past few years was this frail body.
"If that's what you want, then you've got it." The voice of the Prince of the Southwest was hoarse. With that, he lifted the empress's chin and kissed her lips. It was a passionate and plundering kiss, as if all the emotions of the past years had been poured into it.
The heroes were sad and the beauties were helpless. The King of the Southwest was no exception.
The empress closed her eyes, suppressing the disgust in her heart as she replied. As long as it was for her position and her life, she could do anything, even if it meant being with someone she didn't love.
No, perhaps it should be said that she had once loved him?
In this aspect, she was somewhat similar to her daughter-in-law. Everyone knew that Shangguan Yun loved the Night Emperor's cultivation back then, but in the end, she had married Yan'er. And after a long time, she actually fell in love with Yan'Er.
It was the same stupidity, but the result was different. Because she knew when to be ruthless and when to endure. Shangguan Yun didn't understand.
After a while, Night Emperor Lin Feng pushed the Queen away.
"Say it, what do you want me to do?"
"Don't say that you are resigned to your fate. What I want to see is your initiative, not coercion. Could it be that the feelings between us back then truly no longer exist? " The Queen looked at the Prince of the Southwest and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, the Prince of the Southwest frowned. "If it really didn't exist, why would I run in front of an old woman like you?"
"Ha!" But you also like an old woman like me, don't you? " The Queen smiled playfully.
Hearing this, the Southwestern Marquis couldn't help but frown even more. "Say it, what do you want from me? Ah Fu, no matter what you do, there must be a reason, right? "
"Ah Fu? Heh! It has been a long time since anyone has called me by that name. "Atrocious, annoying." The Queen sneered.
"But the person I like is Ah Fu, not the empress." The Prince of the Southwest's voice was full of sadness.
Back then, she wasn't some aloof empress. Although her family was illustrious, she was not the most favored daughter. However, she was obedient and lived in that house with ease.
He was attracted to her that way. And in the end? Looking at the woman in front of him, the Prince of Southwest smiled bitterly, "If I had been the emperor then, would you have been different?"
"No, your beloved Ah Fu, was like this from the beginning. Do you know that better than anyone? " The empress sneered. She did not want to recall that relationship, nor did she want to talk about it. Because all the good things would be fascinating, and then they would stop.
"Whatever, let's get back to the main topic. What do you want me to do?" The Prince of the Southwest didn't want to talk about the past with the Empress anymore, so he urged her on.
"I believe that there will be many people who will be unhappy about Yan'er becoming Emperor. So, it should be difficult for him to walk the path of the Emperor, right?
Lin Feng, you are the Prince of the Southwest and the uncle of Yan'er. I hope you can help him. This is probably the price. " The Queen looked at the man and said.
"So it's like that." I knew it. " The Prince of the Southwest muttered to himself. After a while, he raised his head, and said with a shining gaze, "I promise you. But don't misunderstand, the reason why I agreed to you is because I don't want anything to happen to the imperial court that royal brother left behind, and not because I want to love you.
In my eyes, feelings are never worth a penny. "
"Whatever you say." The Queen smiled in satisfaction. Because of this method of speaking, she didn't understand it too well.
This person was never threatened. He wouldn't do anything for someone else, so it was impossible for him to do anything for the emperor.
What he wanted. It was her.
The empress was an intelligent woman, and because of her intelligence, she could understand the thoughts of others, and even know how to use them. This was the difference between Shangguan Yun and her.
Shangguan Yun was smart, but in the end, she walked on a road of no return. Because she was the eldest miss of the Shangguan family, so high up in the sky that no one could compare to her. As for the Queen, she lived in the cracks at the beginning. So humble and cautious.
"Prince of the Southwest, since we've already agreed on this, why don't we go have a drink together?" the queen asked with a smile.
"Your royal brother just passed away and you're already drinking wine? Aren't you afraid that others will gossip?"
"If you're not afraid, then I'm not afraid either." The empress looked at him calmly, as if she wanted to give him a try, but she looked cute.
Hearing this, the Prince of the Southwest fell silent for a second, then nodded his head.
Seeing him nod his head, the empress's smile deepened, and she went to get the wine.
In the Imperial Palace, what was lacking the most was wine. However, the wine this time was different from usual. This was brewed by the empress herself.
This was her absolute victory all those years ago. It was this method that had allowed her to gain the attention of the Prince of the Southwest.
Very quickly, the Queen brought the wine over. Opening the wine jar, the Prince of the Southwest was stunned.
"This is …"
"I was drunk." The Queen replied.
"Haha, whose heart are you trying to get drunk on?" The Prince of the Southwest laughed.
Hearing that, the empress did not evade and said bluntly, "Of course it's yours. The things that I want, will never be lost to me, and it will be the same for you. "
"Do you really want me?" The Prince of the Southwest was somewhat sorrowful.
