Night Emperor Xiu's voice was ice-cold. His face was similar to his birth mother, an expression that had never been seen before in the Emperor's memories.
The emperor of Jiang Country stared blankly at the hatred in Ye Huang Xiu's eyes. Somehow, he remembered the look in that woman's eyes when he was drunk and had done something stupid to her.
Resentment, disgust, finally, despair. But in the end, she despised him. It was that look of disdain that made him more determined not to bring that woman back. Many times, he also thought, that woman is really stupid. After being in the palace for so long, he actually didn't know how to grasp onto a man's heart, how to make a man feel pity for him.
If the woman had been more or less pitiful, perhaps he would have changed his mind? After all, he was wrong.
Right now, looking at the Night Emperor's expression which was exactly the same as that woman before him, the emperor of Jiang Country was suddenly awakened. It wasn't that woman didn't know how to make others pity her, but she couldn't even be bothered to do that.
From the very beginning, she had never thought of leaving the Imperial Palace, nor of leaving that country, much less of leaving her imperial brother. Therefore, she didn't beg and only waited silently for the result.
And this Night Emperor cultivator? His words were very cold. However, they were not filled with killing intent.
It was a contempt that made people feel despair, even more than killing intent. Like his mother.
"Ha!" "As expected of her son, even his eyes are the same." The Emperor mocked.
"I don't even want to look at someone like you." Night Emperor Xiu sneered. He, who rarely talked to many people, had now activated his venomous tongue mode. Why do you have to say that?
This man had shattered his last fantasies about his father.
From the very beginning, he had always wished that his father would treat him well, rather than letting his royal father treat him as well as he would at least not be so bad that he would ignore him.
However, the result was in vain. Even after his father had died, his attitude did not improve. Until he came to Jiang Guo. He saw the Queen of Jiang Country.
She was a real beauty, very similar to his mother. However, that woman was one of the sinners who caused his mother to suffer for the rest of her life.
When he first saw her, he wanted to kill her. But he didn't expect her to talk about Shui Ruo. He also didn't think that Shui Ruo's current situation would be so difficult. For some reason, he didn't touch the woman.
On the contrary, the woman saw through his thoughts. He really wanted to meet the emperor of Jiang Country.
Now that he saw it, he felt despair. He shouldn't have expected his father from the beginning. Because no matter who it was, it was all the same to him.
This man liked the empress of Jiang Guo, and his son was Jiang Wu Yue, the Crown Prince of Jiang Guo. As for that man, he liked a dead woman. The woman his brother had killed. That woman's child was none other than Night Emperor Shang.
Wherever he was, he was hated.
"I've only come here to see what kind of trash the person who caused the tragic death of my mufei is. Now that I look at it, I suddenly feel like the death of mufei is a form of relief. If she were to face people like you everyday, then she'd be living a life worse than death. "
With these words, he turned and prepared to leave.
However, he didn't expect to be held back by the emperor of Jiang Guo: "Wait." The Emperor of Jiang Country's voice was low and hard to speak in.
When the Night Emperor heard this. He turned his head coldly and looked at the king with dissatisfaction, "What else do you want? Let go of me before I change my mind, or else I'll kill you. "
The loathing in Night Emperor Xiu's tone was never concealed.
When the king heard this, he could not help but feel a dull pain in his heart. What could be more heartbreaking than having your own child hate you?
"I …" "You."
"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it." The Night Emperor was growing impatient.
"Do you want to be emperor?" Seeing that the Night Emperor was impatient, the Emperor of Jiang Country hurriedly asked.
In haste and fear. He was in a hurry because he was afraid that he would leave immediately. Fear was a compromise he had made to the empress over the years. If the empress were to find out about his actions, it would lead to a huge ruckus.
He was not afraid of the empress, but he loved her very much. He could not bear to see her cry. As long as she shed tears, it would be his disaster. He couldn't sleep at all when she was hurt.
Because of this, even if she stabbed him with a knife and did something so outrageous, he would still tolerate it.
She couldn't bear to see her own son being so cruel to Wuyue, so he turned a blind eye to it. She only wanted to see his good fortune one day.
However, when he saw the Night Emperor, his heart couldn't help but soften.
All these years, he had loved that evil woman. However, he had forgotten that he still owed a woman outside. Because of his fault, it caused that woman to suffer for her entire life.
Now, this child had come looking for him, but he had nothing but the throne.
If this throne could make this child's mood any better, he would be willing to hand it over.
The words of the Emperor of Jiang Country caused the Night Emperor to be slightly shocked. He thought that he had left the throne for Jiang Wuyue. He didn't expect him to say such a thing. He was momentarily at a loss as to what to do.
Emperor Ye Xiu didn't know what to say, but he was shocked.
Seeing Night Emperor like this, the Emperor of Jiang Country thought he didn't want to do it, so he continued, "Although this country is already in ruins, but I believe that if it was you, you would be able to manage it well. This, this is my gift to you. "
"No need."
The emperor was trembling with fear. Just as he finished speaking, Emperor Ye Xiu spoke. His voice was still cold and taunting.
"If you wanted to make it up to her back then, she wouldn't have died. There is no medicine for regret in this world. If you do something wrong, you must bear the consequences. The current situation in Jiang Country is your crime. In the end, this crime will not be inherited by me. "
Forget it, the Night Emperor left without looking back. The emperor of Jiang Country stared blankly at his son, whom he had just met, as well as his cold back. Finally, he sighed.
"Ha!" Can't we even send out the royal throne of Jiang Country? "Has this country been abandoned to such a state?" The Emperor of Jiang Country's tone was a little crazy.
At this moment, a black clothed man quietly entered the room and knelt before the emperor.
"Hmm? Number one? Why did you come back? Didn't I tell you to protect the empress? Did something happen to the empress? " The emperor hurriedly asked as he saw the man in black appear out of the blue.
The man in black heard her and nodded. "My lord, this subordinate's care failed. The empress was assassinated."
Thunder from a clear sky!
The emperor was completely stupefied by these words. He stared blankly ahead, his eyes lifeless. The previous Number One's desolate voice kept repeating in his head, along with the meaning behind that sentence.
Assassinated? Assassination? Doesn't that mean the empress is dead? No, that's impossible, right? How could she die? Jiang Guo hadn't declined yet, so how could she die? Especially when he died in that place!
"Haha, you, what nonsense are you talking about?" The Emperor laughed in a sorrowful manner, asking a question that was hard to accept.
"Your Majesty, this subordinate was forced to leave that morning by the Empress. When this subordinate returns, he will see the Empress's corpse."
Number 1 said dejectedly. Of course. There were some things he would not say. It was just like how he hadn't left in the beginning. Instead, he watched as the mother and son finished everything.
He admired the Empress, but it was precisely because of this admiration that he respected her choice.
He still remembered that year when the Empress had lost her beloved. That look of despair and grief was also at that time when he began to admire that aloof woman.
It was said that the empress of Jiang Country only knew how to enjoy herself, but she didn't know what kind of pain and suffering she had to bear when she was behind others.
She had lost count of the number of times he saved her. But this time, he knew he couldn't stop it. Because the Empress's gaze was too calm. There was not a hint of hatred, nor a hint of regret. She probably did everything she wanted to do, right?
Therefore, he had personally witnessed her death. He didn't come back until now.
"She's dead? "Haha, she's dead?" The Emperor couldn't even listen to a single word of what was being said. He just sat on the floor and murmured to himself.
It was said that love was the hardest thing in the world. This was true indeed.
The emperor of the Jiang Country was a rare handsome man back in the day. He was talented and elegant, treating others gently. He was good at listening to the opinions of ministers and had his own opinions.
He was wise and decisive, never dawdling in his actions. He was a good king without any flaws.
Some even said that this person would bring the country to another peak since the founding of the country.
However, no one had ever thought that they would be able to do so even in their dreams! The person that everyone had high hopes for, in his fourth year as emperor, had actually encountered the demonic obstacle in his life.
That was the year the peach blossoms bloomed. The people of Jiang were fond of admiring flowers, and as the emperor, he was no exception. Even when he was young, he had a special name because his mufei loved flowers.
River shallow water. In the shallow waters, petals drifted down. He didn't know that it was in the realm of gods.
On the same day, he wrote this sentence, and Jiang Xiushui became his name.
There were very few women in his imperial harem, but they should be enough to leave their branches and leaves open. But... He had not set foot in the harem for many years. Occasionally, he would enter someone's palace, but that was only in a perfunctory manner.
It was not until he was in the Peach Blossom Forest outside of the palace that he encountered the Empress, who was still a young girl all those years ago.
The Empress was not a very noble person, she was a distant relative of the Prime Minister. The foster son stayed at the house of the Prime Minister, and that day he accompanied her cousin for a walk in the Peach Blossom Forest.
Because her cousin was in a relationship with the son of the Minister of Rites, she was left alone.
And because of this, they had met their doom.
Jiang Xiushui still remembered that day. She wore a pink dress, and her smile was as beautiful as the peach blossoms on a tree. She had a smile in her eyes, and with her hands behind her back, she looked at him.
The name "Young Master Shuishui" made Jiang Qingshui's heart flutter. From then on, his heart was given to the Queen. It never changed again.
Jiang Xiushui had never felt that there was anything wrong with him loving the empress. After that meeting, they would always bump into each other. Until one day he got drunk. He told her who he was and that he was going to marry her.
Afterwards, he ignored the objections of the ministers and the discontent of the prime minister, insisting on marrying this woman who did not have a noble identity or good character back.
In the beginning, she was very obedient. At least, she was very obedient outside, so she wouldn't participate in the imperial government. However, she wasn't happy.
Ever since she entered the palace, he had never heard her call him shui. Her eyes were always filled with a thin layer of mist. It was hard to fathom.
It was extremely mysterious.
He thought that this was her personality, so he still doted on her.
Later, he saw a scene that he would never forget. He felt so much pain for the woman in his heart. One day, she actually had a reunion with a man in the palace. This scene had truly provoked him.
However, when the love was deep enough, even if he saw something he shouldn't have, he still didn't have the courage to rush out. Because he was well aware of the Empress's personality. Once he's out. She would certainly ask to go.
He would not refuse any of her requests. In the end, he was afraid. He was afraid that she would really leave him.
As a result, he failed to see his despicable choice.
Just pretend the man doesn't exist. After that, he investigated the man. That man was someone from the Immortal Mountain. However, it seemed that the people on the immortal mountain couldn't be associated with the people of Jiang Country.
Knowing this, he was relieved. He then secretly sent a message to the people on the Immortal Mountain.
He then took the Queen to visit the neighboring countries. Unexpectedly, it was this time that completely changed the way they interacted with each other.
Here, drunk, he saw the poor woman as a queen. More accurately, he saw her as the queen who had not yet married him.
So gentle, so beautiful, and so faintly smiling. However, the woman that year had called him Young Noble Drifting Water, and the woman that day had called him the Emperor of Jiang Country.
Then, his heart moved, despite her cries, he used force against her.
After what happened, his royal brother became furious, but in the end, he didn't do anything to him. He only told him not to come back. And that woman, from beginning to end, had also ignored him. And then his queen.
It was a cold expression, and it was filled with hatred. He knew what she knew.
Perhaps it was because they knew that he had informed the people on the Immortal Mountain, or perhaps it was because he had treated other women well this time around.
But that was not important, because very soon, that man would die a violent death.
As an emperor, before he ascended the throne, his father had asked him, "If there comes a day when others steal from you, what will you do?"
