When Nangong Yu faced Shangguan Min's "true love" confession, he didn't show the slightest bit of emotion.
Of course, he didn't care about her at all, only Cloudfall, so no matter what she said, he would remain indifferent.
As for her so-called love, what was it worth?
"What Second Miss said today, I'll just take it as a joke."
"A joke?" Shangguan Min's eyes were bloodshot. "I'm speaking the truth."
In fact, only she knew if it was true or false. In this world, there were countless people who had different hearts. How much did the things they did or said have anything to do with their true feelings?
"You clearly know that I have a wife, yet you still said such words. Could it be that the personality of the second young miss is that lowly of a person?" Nangong Yu's expression was cold. He didn't want to talk to him too much, but there were some things that could be resolved at any moment. It was better to explain things clearly.
Shangguan Min smiled bitterly. "How can one control one's feelings?" Yes, you do have Cloudfall, but what does that have to do with me liking you? What is important now is my feelings for you, not whether or not you are married and have children. "
Sometimes, when women started to act hypocritically, it was all fake and true, which made him admire them.
"No matter what you are thinking, I still want to remind you that you should know your own limits. Don't think that just because you are the second lady of the Spirit Mountain, I will have to be responsible for your so-called love."
It was laughable that he had said so many things to her today for the first time. It should be known that the Emperor was very taciturn in front of outsiders.
"Reject? Why? How am I inferior to her? "
Right now, His Majesty only had one empress, so there was no need to doubt Yun Luo's identity.
However, she was curious as to why the empress used an assumed name while the emperor did not. Even though the entire world knew that the emperor's name was Nangong Yu, no one could have imagined that the emperor would dare to use his real name to walk outside the palace.
In fact, it was because of this that he was able to "deceive the heavens and the earth". No one doubted his identity.
Those who did not know this would only think that he was a man with the same name as the current emperor.
"It's not that I'm inferior, it's just that there's always a first come first serve. Moreover, even if I met you earlier, I might not like you."
It was undeniable that Shangguan Min was good-looking and had a good family background. Although she wasn't the princess of a noble family, she was Shangguan Hong's only daughter. In the Spirit Mountain area, everyone squeezed their brains out to marry her.
But her? She didn't think much of anyone, and estimated that there weren't many people in the world who could compare to the current Emperor. Therefore, entering the palace as an imperial concubine was her best choice and also her best choice.
"If Young Noble Nan Gong doesn't try to get along with me, how would he know that you won't fall for me? If she has anything that is worthy for you to like, I can learn from her and do it better than she does. She was very confident that she would be able to manipulate a naturally born smart person with just a few pointers.
"Learn? How to learn? How to learn? No matter how much you learn, it would still be a lie. Why should I spend so much effort to get a fake to carry around with me? "
He, Nangong Yu, would not do anything without benefits other than love Yun Luo. In order to protect this love, he had spent too much effort. This might be a bottomless pit, but he still did not tire of it.
Love so much you can't pull yourself out of it, that's it.
"Young master, why do you have to be so decisive?" Shangguan Min could no longer pretend to be heartbroken.
It seemed like he wasn't going to give in, so he had to find another way.
"Then why did Second Young Miss pick me, a married man, when she put so many people who asked for marriage, instead of choosing? Also, do you know who I am? I believe the Old Princess will not be happy to have you marry to someone of unknown origins. " At this time, Nangong Yu didn't know that she had seen through him, so he said these words.
Shangguan Min didn't mind. "My father only cares about her Zhilan, only about the third son they gave birth to. Why would he care about me?" These words were said with grievance, but in reality, the amount of bullying she had suffered in the Spirit Mountain was quite small. Because of her stubborn nature, many people didn't dare to provoke her.
Without a doubt, the one with the greatest reputation here was Shangguan Li, but it was truly a matter of life and death. If that Shangguan Li had not been given by Zhilan, who would have thought he was anything at all? Nothing.
His biased father even treated him as a treasure, and even gave him the management of such a large spirit mountain.
How old is he? He had been fooling around outside the entire time. Not only did he make trouble for himself, he even brought his elder brother with him. The children of a slut truly did harm to others.
"This is your own family's matter, I will not interfere. Of course, I will also ask Second Miss to pay attention to her words and deeds in the future, and not to bother about the matters between me and Yun Luo anymore." I am husband and wife with her. After making a promise to turn white, I will only love her in this life. As for others, I will not consider them, and am too lazy to consider them. " Since things had already come to this point, it would be a waste of time to talk about it, so he started to leave.
If an Emperor wanted a woman, then who would want her?
Hehe, a woman who disobeys his wishes, won't she get tired of living like this?
How could he know that she, Shangguan Min, had only ever tried to please him in her entire life? That was the only person who had ever done so.
When she returned to Yun Luo's side, the Old Princess was done with her matters, so she went through the door.
But when he looked around, there was only an old man and no sign of a woman.
What was going on? What about that woman? Gone?
She went around behind the screen again. It was empty.
It must be the candle.
Indeed, the Old Princess Shangguan Hong looked at the portrait and said: "I didn't expect the candle given by the Immortal to be so useful."
A candle? Such a simple name.
Then who was the deity he spoke of?
The doubt deepened, and at the same time she was sure that the woman was not a human being at all, but an illusory shadow, necessary to satisfy the physical and emotional needs of the poor old man.
Since she knew that there was an immortal, she couldn't let go of this clue. Even if it didn't have the slightest relation, she wanted to find out who gave Shangguan Hong this thing.
In fact, this candle should be harmful, if used too much, it would make one addicted to it, as if it were the Five Stones Powder.
If he did not stop it, sooner or later, he would die from "exhaustion".
As the saying goes, saving a person's life is better than creating a seven-layered pagoda.
She was a pure and heartless fox spirit, it was better for her to do good deeds, just like this, to repay the gratitude of the new princess Shangguan Li for treating her so warmly these days.
Once she made up her mind, she would start to take action.
Speaking of Shangguan Hong having fun in the study room recently, he had not seen anyone else. It seemed that the Immortal had probably seen him before.
As for Uncle Gourd, he had always been by the princess' side, so he knew her whereabouts like the back of his hand.
Ask him, there should be some clues.
Why did Uncle Gourd call him 'Uncle Gourd'? In fact, it was as simple as the name of the candle. He just loved gourds and spent most of his life collecting countless gourds. He had everything from big to small.
