Everyone was pushing and shoving each other.
"Young lady, you are so beautiful, why do you need spiritual energy to nourish yourself? I see that you and I have been nourishing ourselves here for so long, and this is all we have."
As he spoke, the women burst into laughter.
Yan Yunshu was infected by the lively atmosphere and started laughing too.
Feeling a little better, he drank some wine with the women and even imitated them, performing simple dance steps during the banquet.
A touching blush finally appeared on her pale face.
The cousins looked at her with relief and said to Xu Yichen, "Cousin, you are finally happy. Thank you, Your Highness, for your arrangement."
Xu Yichen was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need, everything has already been arranged."
The person he was talking about was his cousin Xu Jinghuai.
He knew that the woman in front of him was the apple of his cousin's eye, but he didn't know that when he saw the woman's bright smile that finally appeared.
There was an incredible tenderness on his face.
"Brother Yichen, do you think this bug is cute?"
"cute."
"Cute, why are you running..."
In my memory, a scene of a soft, cute and beautiful little girl, who seemed to be out of this world, chasing me appeared before my eyes.
Yes, it was all fake. When he was a child, he was not afraid of those so-called little bugs.
Just to make the girl happy, he kept running around screaming.
"Your Majesty..."
Xu Yichen pulled himself away from his memories.
But he saw Yan Yunshu standing in front of him, holding a glass of wine, with a full smile on her face.
"Your Highness, I offer you a toast. May you be blessed with happiness and peace for years to come."
Xu Yichen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was stunned, just looking at her.
Until a female relative started teasing again.
"Hey! Is our prince, who has been like a tree for thousands of years but never blossoms, about to bloom?"
Xu Yichen just woke up and quickly drank the wine in the glass.
Then he smiled and said, "Girl, drink less."
Yan Yunshu was also stunned when she saw Xu Yichen's smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
She returned to her seat, stroking the dimly glowing spirit bead in her hand, and her longing for Xu Jinghuai became even stronger.
Xu Jinghuai, did you know that there is someone here who is very similar to you?
But he is not you after all.
It was late at night and the banquet finally ended.
The cousins and Xu Yichen supported each other and went to the dormitory in the villa to rest.
Yan Yunshu also returned to the small courtyard that had been prepared for her in the villa.
The yard was covered with snow, but there were always steaming hot springs in the front and back yards.
This made Yan Yunshu feel itchy and she really wanted to go take a bath.
But when I thought about the fact that I had just had a drink, I gave up the idea.
After returning to the room, Yan Yunshu washed up and lay down on the couch.
She was covered with a soft quilt, holding the glowing spirit bead, looking at the snowflakes through the gaps in the window lattice, her mind filled with Xu Jinghuai who was far away.
…
Tianze Palace.
At this moment, Xu Jinghuai was struggling in his sleep.
It is still the endless snow scene and the endless tombstones.
And there is the inky figure who refuses to reveal his true face.
Snowflakes were falling all over the sky.
He saw the motionless figure, and finally reached out his hand, took the snowflakes one by one, and held them tightly.
In his dream, he kept asking.
"Who are you? Who are you? Why are you in my dream?"
The only response he got was the answer that had appeared in his dreams countless times.
"I am willing to withdraw from the fight for the throne, only for Yan Yunshu, not for myself, not for the people of the world."
These words were repeated over and over again.
Until Xu Jinghuai saw the inky figure stretched out his hand and placed it on his heart.
Suddenly, the dark figure spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood spilled on the snow was particularly conspicuous, and it seemed to pierce Xu Jinghuai's heart bit by bit.
He stretched out his hand to stop the inky figure.
But then the figure finally turned around.
…
The new emperor Xu Jinghuai woke up from his dream.
He sat up, his eyes as cold as ice, staring at his own hands.
A sentence still echoed in my ears.
"I am willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for her rebirth."
I would like to use my life to exchange for her rebirth...
I would like to use my life to exchange for her rebirth...
I would like to use the rest of my life to let her live a new life.
Xu Jinghuai, you only have one year left to live.
Suddenly, Xu Jinghuai's pupils shrank and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Destiny! Re-live! One year!
Yan Yunshu...
At the next morning court session, the new emperor Xu Jinghuai sat upright on the throne, looking at the many court officials in front of him.
His eyes were cold, and the court officials looked at each other, as if they were electing a representative with their eyes, and then they dared to speak out.
"Your Majesty, the Tianze Kingdom cannot be without a queen for a day."
"My queen has already been chosen by the late emperor. Why are you so anxious?"
"Your Majesty, I am here to die in protest. The Empress chosen by the late Emperor cannot be accepted."
"how?"
"The former Prime Minister's guilt has now been proven, and he will be executed soon."
"So what?"
"Your Majesty, the daughter of a guilty minister cannot be the empress."
"Your Majesty, I second the motion."
"I second the motion."
"I second the motion."
"I second this motion on behalf of the people."
Soon, the hall was filled with kneeling court officials.
Xu Jinghuai sneered and said, "Do you think you can threaten me by using the whole world?"
The Minister of Revenue, who was in the lead, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the people's hearts are unstable. If this matter goes against the people's will again, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos!"
