After Yuwen He heard her words, the boulder that had been pressing down on his heart all this time finally fell down.
He held Xiao Ruyue's hand, and a deep seriousness filled his eyes, "Perhaps I've done many wrong things in my life, and there are also many things that I've been careless about. But this, is the only thing I haven't done wrong. "It can't be wrong either."
"Even if you give me another chance, I won't change my mind."
His expression was resolute, and he would not waver.
Stupid.
Xiao Ruyue's tears could not help but fall from the corners of her eyes, "In the end, what am I worth to you to be so generous to me? "Why are you so good to me?"
"I don't know either." Yuwen He gently wrapped her around his arm, "Perhaps we met and did something before we were born. It is destined that in this life, I will come to pay back the debt I owe you. "
"What debt?"
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Love debt."
Xiao Ruyue's face flushed red, her blushing face causing people's hearts to itch.
Yuwen He carried her back to the big bed and sat her down, "It's either side of the court meeting that has been delayed, let's talk properly, what kind of bewitching soup did Tang Jingzhi give you?"
"Your Majesty, because I missed the assembly, I'm going to be scolded again tomorrow." Xiao Ruyue pressed her hand against his chest, as she tenderly smiled.
"It just so happens that the unconscious Monarch and the Demon Empress are more suited for each other." A certain lord boasts shamelessly.
Xiao Ruyue was actually at a loss for words.
Yuwen He quickly pecked her on the forehead, "Let's skip today's assembly, let's go out of the palace for a walk, I'll go look for Tang Jingzhi. You should also go and find your big sister Ya Yin. "
"Mm, I'll listen to you."
The two of them changed into casual clothes and left the palace. He had to bring along Yin Lin, Lu Yi and the General Shen.
Inside Courtyard, Liangqiu Yayin was extremely busy.
From time to time, she wailed in pain in the pharmacy. Some people even thought that someone was bullying her.
Tang Jingzhi was also very busy right now.
Xiao Ruyue sat for a while, until Big Sister Ya Yin ran over.
"You're finally in a better mood today." Liangqiu Yayin looked at her for a while and confirmed that she was alright. Then she relaxed, "You really make people worry."
"Don't worry, I'm fine, aren't I?" Xiao Ruyue laughed and turned to look at Tang Jingzhi, "That day, Mr. Tang pulled me along to play a role. Now that the performance has been completed, you should be able to tell me the answer, right?"
"Of course the questions in the empress's heart have to be answered. "It will depend on whether your master is willing to let you know." As Tang Jingzhi spoke, he looked towards Yuwen He.
Xiao Ruyue also looked at Yuwen He, and subconsciously, she stroked her slightly bulging lower abdomen, before slowly looking at Tang Jingzhi, "Two days ago, Big Sister Ya Yin called me over to Courtyard to speak with her, and before she left, Mr. Tang called me over. Before Mr. Tang even had the chance to say a few words, Big Sister Ya Yin had already rushed over. Initially, I only thought that the Mr. Tang wanted to give me a reminder, but didn't think much of it. But it was only after we returned to the palace that we gradually realized that something was amiss. "
"Tang Jingzhi plotted against you?" Yuwen He smiled as he pulled her into his embrace, covered her hands with his large palms, and said, "Tang Jingzhi is very sinister. Don't interact with him too much from now on, in case he set up a trap for you."
Tang Jingzhi looked at him in disbelief, saying, "Your Majesty, you can't speak nonsense." It meant …
However, Yuwen He was too lazy to pay attention to him. It was obvious that he was already planning on how to settle the score with him.
Xiao Ruyue found it funny, as she leaned into Yuwen He's embrace, "Actually it's nothing much. At that time, the Mr. Tang intentionally called me over, and calculated the time so that Big Sister Ya Yin could go over there and cause trouble so that I wouldn't have time to find out he had done anything. It was at that time that Mr. Tang used the antidote for the Wangyou Powder. "
"The empress is really intelligent." Tang Jingzhi laughed, and admitted it.
"Mr. Tang is too kind. Originally, I didn't know what you did. When I first returned to the Phoenix Palace, I felt very uncomfortable. However, after that, I became confused and started dreaming along with the fever. The first time I thought it was a dream, but then I fell asleep again, the antidote seeping through my skin, and I drank some more water and made the medicine go faster. Is that so? "
Tang Jingzhi nodded and did not speak.
However, Liangqiu Yayin gouged out his eye with a knife, and she knew that you were not an honest man. They only hoped that the world would not fall into chaos.
Tang Jingzhi was happy to be stared at by her, he laughed and played with the jade on his waist.
"Mr. Tang called me over, reminded me, and gave me the Wangyou Powder's antidote. He wanted me to remember those things. Now that I have recalled the past, what about the matter that Mr. Tang was about to say? "
"Like I said, I want to ask if your husband is willing to let you know."
After Yuwen He heard this, he looked at him and did not speak further.
Xiao Ruyue could not help but smile, "No matter how you say it, Mr. Tang not only wants to stand up for His Majesty, but is also worried that his self-esteem might be stronger, which is why she felt that those words are not suitable for you."
She was laughing, but Yuwen He was nervous, it seemed that he would have to break it today.
Xiao Ruyue held his hand, and looked at him with watery eyes, "What are you worried about? As the sovereign of a country, can't you tell me the truth? "
Yuwen He remained silent.
Xiao Ruyue held his hand even more tightly, "You said that you would take care of me for the rest of my life, have you forgotten?"
"I haven't forgotten."
"But I'm afraid you'll go back on your word." Xiao Ruyue's eyes flashed with tears, "You feel that hiding this from me is good for me, but you don't understand that it would be better to not know anything. I didn't want to be ignorant until I suddenly saw you leave me. "
Yuwen He suddenly laughed, his thin lips curving into a perfect curve, perfect and flawless.
"Well, as you know, I don't have much time."
Xiao Ruyue took a deep breath, "I knew it, you were going back on your words. The king of a country always keeps his promises, he never goes back on his word. "
Yuwen He laughed bitterly and could not speak further, she then muttered to himself: "That's right, what kind of country is Western Xia compared to East Mausoleum? Your royal brother is the ruler of a nation, he is the one with the golden mouth and the golden mouth. "
"Yes, a small country like Western Xia naturally cannot be compared with the vast land of the East Mausoleum. Her Majesty the East Mausoleum is the one who speaks the truth. " Yuwen He was not annoyed at all. Instead, she raised the water to her mouth and said, "Don't be angry, drink some water and calm down."
Xiao Ruyue's heart was clenched into a ball. She turned to Liangqiu Yayin, "Regarding this, Sister Ya Yin must be someone who knows about it. Sister did all that she could to prevent the Mr. Tang from revealing it, and she also secretly plotted with the Emperor, all for the sake of keeping me in the dark. Presumably, you have already known His Majesty since before I sent General Shen to invite you here. "
"Yes." "You're right." Liangqiu Yayin also laughed bitterly, "Since your husband is willing to be frank, then I don't need to hide it anymore. Do you still remember the secret that I told you about, that the Liang Qiu Clan was protecting? "
"Are you saying …" Xiao Ruyue froze upon hearing this, "Love curse?"
Liangqiu Yayin nodded.
The "love curse" was a forbidden technique guarded by the Liang Qiu clan, and also the true reason why the Liang Qiu clan had gone into seclusion.
"Love Spell" was an ancient secret art. No one knew what it was. With blood as a sacrifice and life as the price, this object could awaken the powerful strength contained within. It would defy the heavens and change fate, and its power would confuse the gods.
Hundreds of years ago, there were people who used the power of the "Love Curse" to bring chaos upon the world, causing the world to be thrown into chaos. The people could not be at peace, and only after that would the Liang Qiu Clan take this secret technique to themselves and expend all of their power to seal it away.
Sister Ya Yin had told her this story before.
At that time, she only felt that the "love curse" thing was too mysterious, but she had never thought that it would have such a miraculous effect.
"I guess you won't believe it either." Liangqiu Yayin laughed, "I just did not expect that the things that our clan had guarded for a few hundred years, would be personally destroyed by me, a Liang Qiu."
Xiao Ruyue clenched her fists. Back then, when she was at Manlu Temple, all of the words that Master Hui Shi had said gushed into her mind in an instant —
"Almsgiver's fate is special. He is extraordinary and has the appearance of a rich man. However, his life was doomed to ups and downs due to his ill-fated fate. "If benefactor can have good intentions, you will definitely be able to cultivate positive results, and will always be able to get what you want."
That perceptive smile was as if he was laughing with flowers, and his eyes seemed as if they could shatter the surface as they looked straight at Karma.
There was also the voice that sounded like the chanting of a Buddhist chant …
He didn't know what was going on, but life can die, and death can live.
Could it be that all of this was due to the effect of the "love curse"?
She was born from the dead because of that ancient and mysterious forbidden technique?
Xiao Ruyue gripped her sleeves tightly, "The 'Love Curse' can defy the heavens and change fate, using blood as an offering, and exchanging one's life for another."
It was no wonder that Big Sister Ya Yin didn't dare to tell her the whole time. It wasn't's fault for thinking of ways to keep this a secret from her, nor was it Tang Jingzhi's fault for uncovering this matter without thinking.
No matter what the "love curse" was, it was definitely not a good thing to be sealed away by the Liang Qiu clan for hundreds of years. The ability to defy the heavens and change fate was being displayed in her body. She turned from a dead Xiao Ruyue into a dead Situ Min, and returned to being a human for nothing.
As expected, there was no such thing as falling from the sky for nothing.
He had to pay for the good news that had fallen from the sky.
Xiao Ruyue pulled Yuwen He and left the Courtyard, not saying a word the entire way.
Even after she had returned to the palace, she did not utter a single word. She just sat there alone in a daze for a very long time, not eating or drinking at all.
Yuwen He didn't go anywhere, and didn't allow anyone to disturb her either, so he quietly accompanied her.
After an unknown period of time, the sky gradually darkened.
Xiao Ruyue seemed to have awoken from a dream as she hugged Yuwen He and cried loudly. Yuwen He was frightened by her and was at a loss on what to do, "Don't cry. "I'm fine."
She cried non-stop, until a large amount of water dripped out from Yuwen He's chest. Only then did she stop, and started to shout for water due to her fatigue.
Yuwen He poured her a cup of water and she gulped it down. Her eyes were moist and her face was covered in tears.
"Yuwen He, you used your life in exchange for my life, is it worth it?"
"It's worth it. There is only one Elder Sister Xiao in this world. " Yuwen He laughed heartily.
Xiao Ruyue thought for a while, then asked: "Tell me the truth, how much time do you have left?"
