"Ha!" I knew it. She was really selfish. She wanted her to come back, but she didn't want to sit on the throne herself. You think that position will cause you to lose your freedom? Or do you think she'll leave you if you sit there? "Night Emperor Xiu, you think too much."

"I'm not fit to be emperor." Night Emperor replied indifferently.

"What is this?" This was the answer? Because outsiders say that you were not born of the royal father? In fact, that's not the case. "Night Emperor, what are you so conflicted about?" Night Emperor Shang wrinkled his brow.

All these years, he had been able to let go of those grudges and coexist peacefully with this person. Why was he still doing this?

"Perhaps I am really selfish. I will think of a way to deal with her matters." Night Emperor Xiu became serious.

"I hope you can think of something." Night Emperor Shang sneered, then left.

Since the Night Emperor didn't want to be the emperor, there was only one way left, right?

Since he didn't want to, he would do it himself. He had nothing left to lose, so there was nothing much to lose. However, that person must have everything, and then he must be very happy. As long as he could see her happiness, he would be happy.

The heavens truly knew how to torture people, allowing her to appear in front of him. It didn't matter if he liked her or was rejected, he wouldn't be able to escape her charms.

Even now that she had fallen in love with another man, he still wanted her to be happy.

Perhaps, from the very beginning when she stayed to face danger with him, she was already destined to become like this. This was a debt that he owed, a debt that would never end.

As he walked further and further away, he headed in the direction of the Shangguan Mansion.

Time was never a good medicine to heal wounds. It would only cause one's emotions to become increasingly intense, causing one to be unable to extricate themselves from it.

When Emperor Shang arrived at the Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Bing was playing the zither in the small building in the backyard.

Night Emperor Shang was brought here by a servant.

Shangguan Bing also seemed to have expected this outcome and opened his eyes the moment he entered the door.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Shangguan Bing's voice was indifferent. He was no longer the foppish young lord he had been when he faced Shui Ruo.

"It shouldn't be too long, right? You haven't finished playing your piece. " Emperor Shang smiled and sat opposite Shangguan Bing.

"What is it? Have you confirmed it? " Shangguan Bing looked at Ye Huang Shang and asked indifferently.

"Yes, I have."

Night Emperor Shang nodded.

"It seems like this isn't the result that you want the most." Shangguan Han smiled.

"However, this is the most realistic result. You won't go back on your word, right? " Night Emperor Shang retorted.

"Of course, for my Shangguan Family, as well as... In the future, I will not regret it. " And my dead sister. As Shangguan Bing thought this, his eyes turned cold.

"It's been investigated?"

Emperor Shang asked.

"Yes, it's a Mandala. It was said that it was concocted using it and the Seven Stars Grass. It was colorless and tasteless, and after being used, it would cause people to become delirious. Heh! I truly never would have thought that elder sister would die from that sort of medicine. " Shangguan Qing mocked.

"You, who boasts of being able to live with a dead person, would also have this kind of time." He had saved others, but he couldn't save his sister.

"This is fate. Master said that whatever you obtain, you will lose. The more precious a person was, the more unlikely it would be able to save him. As for those who had nothing to do with you, as long as you gave alms to them, you would be able to save them. This is what a doctor is. "

Shangguan Bing fell silent. He still remembered back then, his relationship with his elder sister wasn't very good, but his elder sister was the most sincere person in the entire family.

Others were good to him only because of his talent, so they flattered him. However, her sister would never say that. Whatever she wanted, she would say it. She would point out what she was dissatisfied with.

After a long time, he had gotten used to his sister's existence. But now?

The man had been taken away by these people. Just because they had their own selfish desires.

"Hey, hey, looks like you've exposed yourself. This prince isn't the empress dowager."

Night Emperor Shang smiled playfully.

"Tonight at the Engraved Flower Hall." Shangguan Bing frowned and said this.

Then the smile on Night Emperor Shang's face disappeared and he left.

For the entire Imperial City, the ascension of Night Emperor Yan was a major event. When the new emperor ascended to the throne, countless of ministers panicked. They were afraid that the emperor would be dissatisfied with them and kill them all. It was said that there was only one courtier in the court of heaven. It was unknown what would happen next.

Deep in the night, however, the Imperial Palace was brightly lit, as if it was daytime.

In front of the Freezing Moon Hall, Shui Yuehan stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, a lonely look in his eyes.

"Miss, it's late at night. This servant will help you in." Bing-Er had walked out of the room at some point and said with pain in her heart.

Shui Long shook his head after hearing what he said: "There's no need. I want to stay here for a while to take a look at the sky."

"What's so good about the sky? Isn't it the same? But Miss, if you have anything on your mind, you must tell this servant. This servant will definitely help you solve your problem. "

Bing-Er said as she looked at Shui Ruo.

"Bing'er …" Don't you think it's unfair? " Shui Ruo looked at Bing-Er and asked blandly.

"Unfair? What's not fair? " Bing-Er was confused.

"I am the Young Miss, and you are the maidservant. You should also be able to be the young miss of the Shui Family, right? " Shui Ruo looked at Bing'er and said.

Bing-Er's face turned pale.

"What is it? Do you think I don't know? Even though father will never show anything in front of me, but I know very well that the relationship between you and father is not normal. Actually, you and I are sisters, right? " Shui looked at Bing'er and said. When he thought back to the time when he was in the house with Bing'er and his father, he felt a little lonely.

But unfortunately, she wasn't of the same family as them in the end. Thus, even if they met face to face, they didn't know what to do.

"What is Miss talking about?" Bing-Er cried. She looked at Shui Ruo with tears in her eyes. "Miss, Master is only interested in the deceased Madam. How could he have some illegitimate child?"

"Eh?" Shui Long was stunned.

"Miss, you're not the original Miss, right?" Bing-Er continued crying, "I knew it all along. Miss became different from before. This servant had gone to find the old master, and the old master had said that he would treat the young lady as if she was his old mistress.

This servant's heart ached for the old master. Only if the old master lost his daughter would he treat the old master well. Master also wants this servant to be his daughter, but he has never mentioned it to Miss. "

Bing-Er choked with emotion and said, "Lady has always lived in other places, so I don't know what kind of days we are in when we are in trouble."

"I... Sorry. It's my misunderstanding. " Shui Long looked at Bing'er embarrassedly. Some of them clumsily wiped away their tears for her. However, Bing-Er cried too hard. Shui Ruo had no choice but to hug her and let her cry in her arms.

When Bing-Er was done crying, she pushed the water away.

"Sorry, I was overthinking things. Bing'er, you should go rest. I've been in a bit of a mess lately, so I always say weird things. " Shui gave a long, coy smile.

"Miss, this servant has never blamed Miss. I just think that Miss doesn't need to worry at all." As long as Miss is nice to us, we will be nice to Miss. Even if the Lady is not good to us, we will still be good to you.

When interacting with the old master, the young mistress never needed to be cautious. She only needed to use her own heart.

These two times back, this servant can see that although the Miss looks very good on the surface, she is very lonely, because I don't know how to get along with the Master. "

After Bing-Er finished talking, she left.

Shui Long stood blankly where she was, not expecting her to know all of this.

"How does it feel to be reprimanded by your servant?" While the water was still in a daze, he felt a heat in his ears. The handsome man had suddenly appeared behind her.

The wind blew against his red clothes.

The man's unique fragrance made Shui Ruo furrow his brows. He didn't even turn his head around as he said, "Night Emperor Shang, you really like listening to the corner of others' mouths."

"That's right, I just heard about the Third Marquis from his corner, so I got used to it." Night Emperor Shang laughed.

"Him? How is he? " When he mentioned Night Emperor Xiu, Shui Ruo couldn't help but start to worry.

"An Xin, he is better off than you are. Come to think of it, I really did not expect you to be so obedient as to come to the Imperial Palace. " Emperor Ye Shang clicked his tongue twice and looked around the water. "Indeed, people rely on their clothes. Normally, they don't look particularly beautiful. But now, it seems that they really do have a tantalizing taste." How about it? For you, how about I overturn this country? "

His words were full of ridicule.

When Shui Long heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. "Actually, you just drank a bit?"

"Why do you say that?" Night Emperor Shang had an innocent expression.

"How can you talk nonsense if you don't drink?" Shui Long glared at him and said angrily.

"I didn't drink any alcohol, but …" The woman's tears were extremely sharp. Hey, did you cry? If it's you, you should be better off crying than that little girl, right? " Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and asked with a smile.

"Ha!" You want to die? " Shui Ruo sneered.

He was already extremely patient in the face of the night Emperor Shang's infuriating attitude.

"Are you angry just like that? It was really a waste for me to risk being misunderstood in order to meet you. I came here late at night. "

With his heartless expression, it was hard to decide whether to laugh or be angry at him.

"You didn't come to see me just to talk about this, did you? If that's the case, then I hope you can still return to where you came from. " Shui Ruo's tone was cold, with a hint of disgust. However, there was a smile hidden in his eyes.

Hearing that, Emperor Ye Shang also laughed, "Really, when can you treat me better? Forget it, I came here today to see how you are doing in the palace. "

"Just entered the palace, what's the good or bad about it? Or rather, should I say that from the moment I entered the palace, the situation has not gotten any worse? " Shui shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.

"Aren't you worried? Who knows if the Night Emperor might give up on you for the sake of peace. " Nighttime Emperor Shang looked at the water and asked playfully.

"Will you?" Shui Ruo asked.

Night Emperor was surprised for a moment, then he began to laugh. It was hard to tell whether he was laughing at Shui's leisurely intelligence or at his own stupidity. Yes, no matter what happened to Night Emperor Shang, he would not abandon her. This was the truth.

Perhaps she was this calm because she knew about it?

"Seriously, can't you be more tactful when using me?" There was nothing he could do.

"Do you need it? I can try if I need to. " Water was very serious.

"Sigh." Night Emperor Shang sighed, a trace of disappointment flashing across his handsome face. Sure enough, looking at her made him want to stay with her a little longer. But... Even if he stayed for a long time, what was the use?

She didn't belong to him, and he definitely wouldn't do the same thing that the Night Emperor Yan did for her.

"Be at ease in the palace. Also, if Shangguan Han has anything you need help with, he definitely can't help. Do you know? "

"Shangguan Han?" The water flowed on in a daze. Why did it involve Shangguan Bing?

"Speaking of help, he really did ask me to keep an eye on the empress and empress dowager." Shui Ruo asked tentatively, a little doubtful.

"As expected!" Don't worry about it. "Believe me, I will not harm you." Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo with a solemn expression.

Shui Long nodded: "Alright, but shouldn't you tell me what's going on?"

"Shangguan Han wants to use you, that person has gone mad." Night Emperor Shang wrinkled his brow. When he thought of what Shangguan Bing had done recently, he felt a headache coming on.

To Shangguan Bing, Shangguan Yun's death was too much of a blow. He was not like what he said. He did not hate water, did not hate others, and only hated the Emperor and Empress Dowager.

If she didn't hate him, she wouldn't have used him as a shield.

"Use me? If it was because of Shangguan Yun. There was no harm in using it. "Anyway, I owe them." Shui Ruo said nonchalantly.

"Is that what you think?" Night Emperor Shang's gaze turned cold. He lowered his voice.

"Yes, this is my way of thinking." Water nodded his head.

"Ha!" Night Emperor Shang laughed, his laughter filled with ridicule. Then he raised his head and looked at her sorrowfully. With a flash of his hand, he touched the woman's acupoints.

"Since you don't care about anything, since you can let someone use you as long as you owe them something, then am I allowed to do the same?"
