"Princess, thank you." Instead, they turned to thank Water Lonely Drink. When Shui Long heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
"He is my husband, it is my duty to save him, so there is no need to thank me. Furthermore, the person who saved him was not me. "
"But if it wasn't for you, Jing King would definitely not have interfered. King Jing and our prince have always been at odds. " As Blue River said this, his gaze turned complicated.
He really did not expect that Jing Wang, who called upon the wind and rain to be cold-blooded and emotionless, would one day change himself for a woman.
"Esteemed wangfei, this subordinate recommends that you be careful of King Jing, even though King Jing has changed. But back then, King Jing was very scary. " The one who spoke was Tears, and she looked at the water with worry.
"Ah, I know, he's a terrible man." Shui Long smiled faintly. For some unknown reason, he recalled the first time he had met her.
He had calculated that others didn't believe in others, but still wished for someone to come close to him. However, if he took one wrong step in front of him, he would die.
She would never be able to forget that day when he drank blood with his sword and a smile on his face. The way he slaughtered those assassins, his methods, his skill, and his powerful heart, everything told her that this person was very dangerous. He was also very powerful. Powerful to the point where he didn't need anyone by his side, he yearned for someone to do something for him.
It was from that time onwards that her ill-fated relationship with Night Emperor Shang became irreconcilable, right? From the moment she chose to stay with him instead of abandoning him.
Thinking of this, Shui Ruo could not help but smile helplessly.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Everyone was startled by Shui You's smile and asked.
"It's nothing. I just remembered something from the past. Alright, let's go."
On this side, Shui Ruo returned to the manor with the three of them. On the other side, Night Emperor Shang did not directly return to his palace, but instead went to the Prime Minister's estate.
With the arrival of the King Jing, everyone in the Prime Minister's Residence had lost their lives.
Especially since King Jing came to look for their family's future Young Master.
"Does Your Highness have any important matters to discuss with Feng Qi?" The Prime Minister was on his guard.
"Feng Xi and I are good friends, I want to meet him." Jing Wang's face was calm.
Friend? Do you have any friends!? He really wanted to ask the Prime Minister this question, but it was too impolite for him to do so. Thus, he could only endure it and say, "Then, Your Highness, please wait."
After a while, he left for the Prime Minister before Feng Ji came over. Seeing that it was the Night Emperor Shang, Feng Xi was not surprised. It was as if he had already expected it.
"Long time no see, you've been living quite well here." Night Emperor Shang laughed.
"Well, at least I know some things, and I'm very happy now." Feng Xi blandly said.
"Don't say it like that. If you say it like that, I won't be able to take you apart." Emperor Shang's face was filled with innocence, it was extremely infuriating.
Feng Xi frowned. "What do you mean?"
"I mean it literally. I came here to break up the relationship between you and Wan'er." Night Emperor Shang laughed loudly.
"Do you think you'll succeed?" Feng Xi was dissatisfied.
"Success?" Are you mistaken? To me, wanting Wan'er to leave you is just a sentence. After all, the person she loves is me. " Night Emperor Shang sneered.
Hearing this, Feng Xi's face changed and said, "Tell me, what do you want."
"You're really smart." Night Emperor Shang sighed in admiration.
"There's no need for these nonsense. Since you're already here, it means that you have something important to do."
"It's simple. After Night Emperor Yan ascends the throne, I want you to convince the Prime Minister to get rid of his sin."
"What happened to him?" Feng Xi didn't understand.
"I've just been sent to jail today, so I won't talk about this anymore. You'll know later. I hope that you can do as I say. If not, I have already separated you from your loved one once, so I don't care about the other time. "
Emperor Shang looked at Feng Xi, his words were straightforward. Although Feng Xi was unhappy, but he couldn't do anything about it. Wan'er really liked Ye Wan-Er, and even he couldn't change that, so he could only nod and say, "I understand, I will do as you say." But... I hope you mean what you say. After this, don't come looking for me again. "
"Naturally, after this time, I will not come looking for you, and you probably do not wish for me to come looking for you."
Night Emperor Shang laughed. And so, the agreement between the two had been concluded.
Time passed by very quickly. It was the morning of the third day. After the Emperor entered the Royal Tomb. The new emperor ascended to the throne.
Three years of national mourning.
Ye Huangyan sat on the dragon throne, sitting in the great hall that he was only used to. He stared at the crowd of officials with a complicated expression on his face.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" All the officials kneeled down. Even Night Emperor Shang was present. This caused Night Emperor Yan to be slightly surprised.
However, it didn't make things too difficult for him.
"Everyone, please rise." Ye Huangyan's voice was filled with vigor. As his words fell, he gave the eunuch next to him a look. Then, the eunuch immediately stood up and said, "It is a blessing from the heavens to the emperor. Today, the Shui family has a woman who is gentle, graceful, and virtuous. We hereby choose her as our queen and choose her to enter the palace."
The words of Night Emperor Yan frightened everyone out of their wits. Everyone looked at each other. They still didn't understand what kind of crazy act the Emperor was playing.
"Your Majesty, this old subject believes that the selection of an empress is a great matter and must not be hasty." It was the Cabinet.
Hearing this, Night Emperor Yan frowned.
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty." All the ministers kneeled down and kowtowed.
"I have made up my mind." Night Emperor Yan was persistent.
"Water? If I recall correctly, the woman you want to marry, seems to be the third prince's wangfei. Although the two of them did not announce the matter to the world, their friends all knew about it.
"Your Majesty just imprisoned Third Marquis, and now you want to marry his wangfei?" Night Emperor Shang's voice was not loud, but the ridicule in his tone was ear-piercing.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
As for Night Emperor Yan's complexion, it did not look any better. He did not expect that he would say it out loud.
Night Emperor Yan ruthlessly glared at Night Emperor Shang. After which, he saw the smile on his face, and the attitude of 'just what can you do to me', which angered half of the people here to death.
"Since no one else knows yet, then let's pretend this never happened. However, it was impossible for a woman who almost married to become the emperor's queen. Why don't we just confer the title of Consort? " This time, the one who spoke was the Prince of the Southwest.
Once the Prince of the Southwest opened his mouth, everyone was stunned again. Were they unable to keep up with the times or what?
The prince actually said such a thing?
In fact, even Night Emperor Lin Feng was very depressed. The heavens knew that the empress had suddenly asked him to stay in the palace when he was doing well. He said that he hoped that he would be able to speak up for the Night Emperor in the great hall. Some sort of Night Emperor wanted to marry a woman. That woman, Night Emperor Yan, was very fond of her.
But she did not want the woman to be the queen. She would choose the queen.
This was the reason for the current situation.
Although Night Emperor was dissatisfied that Shui Long had become his concubine, he still agreed. "I'll do as royal uncle says."
"Is the Emperor really not afraid of ridicule?" Night Emperor Shang's tone was ice-cold as he grew angry.
When the ministers heard this, they all shut their mouths. Especially those who feared Night Emperor Shang, they stayed far away from him.
Hearing that, Night Emperor Yan stared straight at Night Emperor Shang, and said: "This is my right. As long as I am alive, that person is my person. As long as no one says anything and no one dares to laugh at me, who would know about this?
"Besides, I don't think it's a big joke to marry a girl who hasn't even married yet." The Night Emperor's words made sense.
"I hope you don't regret it." Night Emperor Shang's tone became increasingly cold.
"You are not allowed to talk about my matters." Night Emperor Yan said coldly.
The flame of war between the two of them was about to erupt. But just then, a shrill voice could be heard from outside. "Esteemed Empress Dowager has arrived."
As the voice fell, the empress dowager and a woman slowly walked in.
When the crowd saw this girl, their faces all changed drastically.
Amongst them, the one whose countenance was the ugliest, without a doubt, was the Night Emperor Flame.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" The woman's voice was cold and distant.
"You, are you a human or a ghost?" Night Emperor Xiu felt as if he was hallucinating.
The woman in front of him was covered in a body of bright red. Her facial features were clearly the same as Shangguan Yun's, who had died a few days ago.
How could there be such a similar person? Or was Shangguan Yun not dead?
"Your majesty, this humble girl, Ming'er, is a human." The woman's voice rang out, interrupting Night Emperor Yan's self-meditation.
The ministers were all stunned. There are actually two people who are so similar in this world? Liar.
Shangguan Yun's matter was no longer a secret in the eyes of the ministers. However, when the ministers saw the woman before their eyes, they all felt that they were in a bad mood.
The similarity was too high! In fact, not to mention them, even the empress dowager herself was shocked. Only the heavens knew that she just wanted to go out for a walk yesterday, but she didn't expect to meet this girl who sold vegetables, much less how similar she was to Shangguan Yun.
The only difference was that this woman's temperament was not as noble as Shangguan Yun's, right? The cowardice in her eyes was something Shangguan Yun had never seen before.
Shangguan Yun was magnanimous, but the woman in front of her was more unskilled. However, these were not the main point. The main point was that this person was too similar to Shangguan Yun! If she was the empress, perhaps the Shangguan family wouldn't be so angry at what Yan Er had done in the past.
Moreover, this woman in front of him was more suitable to be controlled. As long as she wanted to, this woman wouldn't go against her. That was the most important thing.
If they were the same as Shangguan Yunsheng, then even if they were empress, no one would have one. In short, as long as Shui Ruo wasn't the empress, everything would be fine.
Thus, with this mindset, the empress brought him back. After she brought him back, she didn't let him down. After changing into Shangguan Yun's favorite clothes, she looked like she was still alive.
Looking at the frightened ministers and Night Emperor's flames, the empress was satisfied.
