Hearing this, the Prince of the Southwest sighed helplessly, "I know. I'll find out where she went. "Then I'll help you get rid of it."
"The only one I can rely on is you." When the Prince of the Southwest agreed to the Empress Dowager's request, she spoke thus.
When the Prince of the Southwest heard this, he no longer complained. To him, these words were as useful as a magic spell. As long as she spoke, he would no longer have any reason to refuse.
Because she loved this woman so much that she had already lost herself.
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone threaten your position." After all, this is a position that you have exchanged everything for. If you lose it, you will go completely mad, right? How can I watch you go crazy?
The man thought to himself. However, when he looked at the Queen again, the gentleness was gone, replaced by persistence.
Years of love had long become obsession. He wanted to obtain her obsession.
That's all.
"King of the Southwest, This Dowager's beauty has long disappeared. The only thing I can give you is probably a smile or something, right? "Maybe there's a cup of green tea."
The Empress looked at the man, unable to understand. This person was so outstanding, yet he had only thought of her over the years. This sort of thing was something that people would feel honored to talk about.
After all, it was a blessing for women to be liked by others. And the people who liked her were peerless in the world.
But unfortunately, this person didn't become the Emperor back then.
"If the person who was previously emperor was you, perhaps we would be very happy? Perhaps, you will be like the emperor who founded the kingdom before, with only one wife, and that person will seem to mourn the family. Unfortunately … You didn't. " The empress dowager looked at the King of the Southwest and suddenly felt a bit aggrieved.
If he really had ascended to the throne back then, then she wouldn't have fallen in love with the Emperor, much less end up like this.
She would be cared for by this man and spend the rest of her life there.
"Sorry." The King of the Southwest lowered his head.
"Ha!" Is that any use? The King of the Southwest always thought that it was This Dowager who abandoned you, but in reality, wasn't it you who abandoned This King?
This one thinks you can be emperor, so I'm with you, and you know this, this one wants to be queen. However, in the end, he had given the throne to the Emperor.
You abandoned This Dowager, and at the same time, sent This Dowager into a fiery pit. "
The empress dowager looked at the Prince of the Southwest and complained.
Hearing this, the King of the Southwest fell silent. He didn't know what to do.
"King of the Southwest, This Dowager … Is he old? " The empress dowager looked at the King of the Southwest and suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the King of the Southwest looked at the woman in front of him. She was obviously already a middle-aged woman, but in his eyes, she was as beautiful as ever.
"Ah Fu is still the Ah Fu of the past. He's as beautiful as ever." The King of the Southwest said.
"Only you would say that. "The emperor never said I was pretty."
"Royal brother's eyes are different from mine, right?" The King of the Southwest smiled coyly.
"That is not the case. The Emperor just doesn't love me. At the beginning, I thought that waiting for the result would be a waste, but in reality, it was all in vain. "
For some reason, the empress dowager began to talk about the past, while the Prince of the Southwest listened attentively. Listen to her.
After who knows how long had passed, the empress dowager cried. It was rare for her to cry like a young girl in the arms of the Prince of the Southwest. The Prince of the Southwest silently hugged her. Gentle and cherished.
Time might change everything, but the only thing that would not change was love. No matter how the love changes, no matter how the heart becomes unbearable. He wanted to love that person, but his heart still wouldn't change. Even if he went from love to paranoia, it was only because he liked it too much.
The Prince of the Southwest placed the empress dowager gently on the bed before silently retreating out of the room.
At the door, when the girl saw the Prince of the Southwest retreating, she panicked and wanted to run, but the King of the Southwest called out to her, "Wait, what did you see?"
The voice of the King of the Southwest was ice-cold, completely different from the usual playboy when dealing with beauties.
Ming'er trembled in fright, lowering her head and saying, "I-I didn't see anything."
"That's good, smart people always live longer. When she wakes up, tell her I did what she told me to do. "Let her take care of herself."
With that, the King of the Southwest left.
Tomorrow, she looked at the back of the King of the Southwest, somewhat puzzled. Why would such a man do this for the Empress Dowager? Of course, she wasn't the King of the Southwest, so she didn't need to understand.
In the capital, if there was something you wanted to know, it would be very simple, because the news spread very quickly. However, if you want to find someone in such a big city, it will be much more troublesome.
Disregarding the brilliance of the appearance changing technique, just the large crowd of people in the capital was more than enough to deal with it.
Thus, even though Nightmare Emperor had given the order and posted many paintings, the rewards were still attractive enough. But so far, no one had been able to find the water.
Today was the third day since Shui Long had disappeared.
Today, early in the morning, Night Emperor Shang had arrived at the teahouse on White Jade Street.
When he arrived at the entrance of the teahouse. Ah Zhu was actually waiting there.
"Miss Zhu." Night Emperor Shang laughed lightly. Polite and distant.
"Your Highness." Ah Zhu saluted respectfully.
"Miss Zhu, there is no need to be so polite. May I know what business you have with me?" Night Emperor Shang asked with a smile.
"I saw her before when I was meeting with the prince, but why is she gone today?" I saw many pictures of her. I didn't know that she was already the Consort. I'm sorry. But Your Highness, I hope that you can think it through before eloping with her. "
"I didn't elope with her." Night Emperor Shang was still smiling. He patiently explained.
"What about her?" Ah Zhu didn't understand.
"I don't know either."
"Missing? If you need our help, please do say so. " Ah Zhu looked thoughtfully at the teahouse, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Ah Zhu was a smart man. He clearly understood that it was impossible for the Emperor to allow Shui Jiu to disappear in front of him. Thus, it was likely that Night Emperor Shang knew what was going on, but he did not want to speak. But if Night Emperor Shang didn't want to speak, she didn't want to say anything.
Thus, he said this.
Ah Zhu's words caused the Emperor to burst out laughing once more. "Okay, if there's anything I need, I will definitely ask for your help." So before that, can I go in for a cup of tea? "
"Ah, sorry." Ah Zhu smiled awkwardly and left.
After Ah Zhu left, the smile on Night Emperor Shang's face completely disappeared, and he entered the house.
Inside the teahouse, Jiang Wuyue was already waiting for Night Emperor Shang.
"The prince has finally come. I thought he had decided to abandon Miss Shui Long." In just three days, Jiang Wuyue had already started treating Shui Jiuyin as a girl.
This made the worry for him grow even more intense.
"Don't worry, I won't abandon her. But I want you to be in the right place and not do anything to her. " Emperor Shang looked at the man and said.
Hearing that, Jiang Wuyue laughed: "Of course. Prince, as long as you do what I do, I will do what I do. "
"The time is set for the afternoon. When the time comes, I will bring all of you out of the capital and leave the rest to you." Night Emperor Shang wrinkled his brow. The feeling of wanting to personally throw a woman he liked into a fire pit was really nothing.
"Thank you for helping me, your highness." Jiang Wuyue smiled.
"Humph!" "Then before that, can I see her?" Night Emperor Shang coldly snorted.
"Of course, she's upstairs. If you want to meet her, you can do so anytime." Jiang Wuyue was rather generous.
Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang went upstairs.
The water flowed leisurely in the first room on the second floor. Although he did not know why no one came to investigate this teahouse for the past three days, he knew very well that this was for the best.
At least it wouldn't cause any more trouble.
When he entered his room, he saw Shui Long sipping his tea, looking at the lively scene in the crowd below. He seemed to be very interested.
"You like the liveliness so much?" Night Emperor Shang's voice was not loud, but when he spoke, Shui Ruo turned his head in excitement, looked at him, and then put down his teacup. "You've finally come. I thought I wouldn't be able to see you before I left."
"How could that be? I'll know where you're going. " The Tianhai Divine Empress gazed at him, saying, "This is the Tianhai Divine Empress of the Tianhai clan." If it hadn't been for his fault, she wouldn't have had to suffer.
"How has he been treating you these past few days?" Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and asked worriedly.
"En..." Other than the food he cooked being too unpalatable, it was still not bad. And, although I don't know why, he actually told me about Jiangguo.
What I didn't expect the most was that he was the Crown Prince of Jiang Country. Unfortunately, he does not have a good mother. " The water sighed.
Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang was shocked in his heart.
"He even told you that?"
"Yes, but he was smiling when he said it. He didn't seem to care at all."
Water frowned.
"Who knows if he cares or not? "Compared to this, I will send you out."
Nighttime Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and became serious.
"I know, he said. Said he was taking me to his country. However, he also said that the Imperial Advisor disliked women. So maybe I'll die? " The water was long and helpless.
"Then, even if I have to stay by his side forever, I will not allow you to die. "If you can't cure the poison, then please stay with Jiang Wuyue." When Night Emperor Shang said this, his mouth was suffused with a bitter taste.
It was already bad enough to give his beloved woman to someone else, but now he actually said such words.
Shui Long listened to Night Emperor Shang's words and was stunned. But then, he started to laugh.
This smile was like the blooming of a white lotus, pure and holy with a hint of tolerance.
Then with this smile, Shui slowly walked to the front of Night Emperor Shang, tiptoeing and lightly touched his lips, "Thank you." If there is a next life, I will definitely choose to be with you. "
"What if I say I want this life?" Nighttime Emperor Shang looked at the water and asked.
"Shall I die with you in this life?" Water joked.
However, in his heart, Nightmare said, "Good." However, she didn't say it out loud to disturb her.
Just like that.
"Nothing is as good as being here when we go to Jiangguo. In Jiang Country. The Queen of Jiang Country has the final say. So don't be afraid of nothing like we are here, you know? "Where is it? I won't be the one to save you, nor will I have the cultivation of the Night Emperor to shoulder all the burdens for you." Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and said solemnly.
Shui Long listened and nodded. "I understand. I will definitely be careful. After that, I will come back alive."
"Mm, I believe you. I didn't tell anyone about you. Not even the Night Emperor had one. But he'll find you sooner or later, won't he? "At that time, you can find an excuse." Night Emperor Shang continued.
"Alright." Water nodded his head.
"The time is in the afternoon. In the afternoon, I will send you and Jiang Wuyue off together. "Therefore, I hope that you can …" Even before he could finish, water had already covered his mouth.
"Enough, don't make it sound like we will never meet again in this life. If you have anything to do, go ahead. I can live wherever I am. "Trust me." Shui Long's words had completely changed his demeanor.
It was just like the time when the Emperor wanted to see the most.
Murderous, calm, and collected. And, a powerful aura that made people feel fear just by looking at it.
In just an instant, he could take back all of his usual docility and compromises. Perhaps only Shui Ruo could do that?
Seeing such a tranquil state of mind, Night Emperor Shang felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
That's right, he had always wanted to protect her, but he had almost forgotten that she was very strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have liked her.
Thinking of this, Emperor Ye Shang couldn't help but smile faintly. A trace of a smile appeared on his face.
The scorching sun was right in front of everyone, causing them to choose to hide and the number of people on the street to become fewer and fewer. Even the peddlers who were peddling were squatting in the corner. Only when they found the right time did they run out and say a few words to the customers who might buy something.
As long as spring came, the entire capital would be in an uproar. The vitality of the entire capital would be reduced a little bit.
The water sat leisurely in the carriage and was extremely hot. It was obviously not even summer yet, but it was already this hot. In this world without air conditioning, would it really not be too hot to death?
The thought of having to travel a long distance after that gave him a headache.
"This is for you." Jiang Wuyue wore a mask on her face and took out a brocade box from her chest while looking at Shui Long's seemingly helpless towards the heat.
The box was carved with peony flowers, and it was a big red wooden box. The edge of the box was inlaid with gold, and it was mysterious and grand. The water suspiciously received the box and opened it. A refreshing smell immediately assaulted his nose.
When he focused his eyes, he found that there were two green leaves lying inside.
