C78 palatine margin

Qin Yue clenched his hands into fists. The hatred in his heart continued to grow, but more of it was pain and helplessness.

"He didn't die, he was just shocked …" After a long moment passed, he finally spoke.

The sword in Qi He's hand fell to the ground, a trace of happiness on his face. His cold eyes lit up again, "Master, what you mean is …"

What could he mean? His only meaning was to not let her die.

In order to let her live, he wanted to save another person's life, it was that simple.

The news of Wei He's assassination of Qin Fei quickly spread through the streets. The crowd only mocked the noble princess for her lack of virtue, as they didn't care how crazy she was or what terrifying love she had for her.

The Honorary King could no longer sit still. He ordered Qi He to be locked in the attic so that she could shut his door and think.

After all, how could he meet the Imperial Advisor with his old face?

When Shangguan Wan heard that Luo Chen had been tortured to the point of death, and that he finally escaped with his life, as her master, she couldn't wait to go visit him.

"If you won't get involved, then you won't listen. But now …"

Luo Chen, who was on the bed, closed his eyes, "If you came to laugh at me, then you're satisfied. Scram!"

Shangguan Wan was so angry that she wanted to strangle this patient. Was there anyone as vicious as him who would bite Lu Dongbin to death? How did Mount Shu teach him to cultivate him to the point where he didn't even have the slightest bit of education?

However, she still steadied herself, scooped a spoonful of medicine, and placed it next to his mouth, "I have a broad heart, so I won't fuss over it with you. Come, drink some medicine."

The little Daoist can't die yet, so she had to keep him, for the sake of that Qi He who was deeply poisoned by him.

Sigh, he really wanted to know what was love in this world.

Luo Chen firmly refused to open his mouth, nor did he respond to her.

He didn't cry for her to come and see him, so he didn't have to smile at her.

Shangguan Wan had no choice but to put down the medicine bowl, and said earnestly: "Why are you doing this, even if you don't think for yourself, you should at least think for my mother, right? She almost killed Qin Fei for you, now you're ruining yourself like this, is it worth it?"

Luo Chen's eyes remained calm as he said, "I didn't want her to do that."

"You!" How could Shangguan Wan be angry? If there was a brick here, she would definitely kill him without saying a word.

He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen such a shameless person.

"So you really don't feel anything for her?" The result of his answer would directly affect her attitude towards him in the future.

Luo Chen opened his eyes with a resolute expression, "I admit that I did."

Shangguan Wan laughed. Was it like this in the past? Previously, he didn't want to admit it, but now, did admitting it work? What a weak man, a relationship, only dare to admit it when it's over.

Compared to Luo Chen, Nangong Yu was much better.

Shangguan Wan stood up and very calmly poured a bowl of medicine on his face, teasing him, "You're not fit to be a man, much less a Taoist."

Then he turned and left.

On her way back to the Phoenix Palace, she met the Great General Chu Jingli.

Chu Jingli really admired Shangguan Wan. After all, she was someone the emperor had his eyes on. He remembered that when the empress had first entered the palace, Nangong Yu had been unwilling by a thousand to ten thousand, almost beating her into the cold palace without saying a word.

And now, the couple were both envious of each other.

"We pay our respects to the Empress." He cupped her hands in a respectful salute.

Shangguan Wan forced a smile on her face. "General, there's no need to be so polite."

Just now, she was still immersed in her resentment towards Luo Chen. No, that wasn't resentment at all. It was simply a deep hatred.

How could so much have happened if he had been quiet at the beginning, unperturbed by the world, giving Qi and any hope?

He had just admitted that he loved Weizheng, so at that time, the cute and innocent girl must have felt it and even imagined living a happy and comfortable life with him.

It was just that fantasy was always a fantasy. Everything had turned into a bubble with his "change of heart".

'Forget it. I shouldn't think so much. I should just do what I can. How can I control it? ' Could it be to help Qi and force a marriage?

"The Empress's expression was grave just now, as if she was thinking about something." Although Chu Jingli was a martial artist, he could guess at the emotions hidden within the basic facial expressions of humans.

"Nothing much, I'm sorry general." Shangguan Wan waved her sleeves. "I just happen to have something to tell the general."

Chu Jingli couldn't help the doubt in his heart. "Esteemed Empress, please speak."

"It's like this. The great general has done a great service to the country. I and the emperor have been thinking about how to reward you for this. Coincidentally, I found out about the location of the Azure Sword after asking around. Is the great general interested?"

Of course he was interested in someone who loved swords as if they were his life.

"Empress is talking about the Dian Cang Sword?" Chu Jingli couldn't believe it. That point of the azure sword was like a myth. He didn't know if it was true or false. If he was lucky enough to obtain it, he would be willing to live for ten more years.

Shangguan Wan had guessed long ago that he would have this kind of expression. Very good, as expected, she didn't let her down.

"It's the Dian Cang Sword." Shangguan Wan nodded, "The descendant of the Zhao Family who has always been protecting it is now at Song Ma's place, and she originally wanted to give the sword to the general, but the descendants of the Zhao Family obeyed their ancestor's teachings, saying that only those who are fated will be able to take the sword. Although I am the empress, I cannot force myself to take it away, so I must ask the general to come by himself."

The truth was that the meaning was very simple. If Chu Jingli and Dian Cang were fated, then this sword would be his. If they weren't fated, then he could only say that it was a pity.

Chu Jingli expressed his understanding and quickly thanked, "Thank you for your advice, esteemed wangfei."

The Empress is indeed an extraordinary woman, to even be able to find a divine object like the Dian Cang Sword.

"General, there is no need for you to be courteous. If the Azure Sky Sword is fated to be with you, then wouldn't that be adding wings to my mountain?" "When the time comes, the land will be even more stable. The general will not disappoint the title of War God."

In truth, this was also one of the reasons that she loved his company. He, Chu Jingli, was Nangong Yu's right-hand man. If she could properly entertain him, then the burden on Nangong Yu would be eased a bit.

At the very least, he could be less concerned about matters at the border.

Just like this, the extremely excited Chu Jingli galloped towards Song Mian on horseback.

The mountains and rivers around Song Mian were clear and beautiful, and had quite a bit of spirit energy. No wonder the descendants of the Zhao Family had come here with a bit of an azure sword.

Chu Jingli led his horse and walked on the street. According to the address given by the empress, it should not be too far away.

There was a bridal sedan and a very long queue.

Chu Jingli was curious. There seemed to be someone sitting in the bridal sedan, but why wasn't there a groom at the front?

With this curiosity, he led the horse and stood by the roadside, quietly waiting for the procession to pass.

He was not interested in what the bride in the bridal sedan was like. What he was interested in was whether or not that speck of azure sword belonged to him.

After all, he had travelled thousands of miles just for this ancient sword.

Coincidences in the world happened just like that. The woman in the bridal sedan opened the curtain and saw the handsome young man standing by the roadside.
