Chapter 381 Are You Willing to Accompany Me to the Throne?

Lu Xinran was stunned by the question.

Is she going to be queen?

She blinked blankly, having no answer at all.

When the situation was tense before, she had also thought about sharing the honor and disgrace with him.

But now the situation has been stabilized, and it seems that the only two options left for her are to enter the palace or leave.

"Take your time to think about it. There's no rush. I believe that no matter what choice you make, he won't force you."

Song Junyan is different from Tang Chongli. He grew up in the deep palace since he was a child. He has experienced all kinds of hardships and is familiar with people's hearts. He also knows how to deal with difficulties to get what he wants.

He can see through people's hearts and naturally understands Lu Xinran's true thoughts.

This is completely different from Tang Chongli.

Thinking of meeting him again on the street today, she couldn't help but sigh again.

Why didn't he understand? She and Liu couldn't live under the same roof, and she had the burden of filial piety on her shoulders. As long as Liu made trouble, no matter what she did, it would be wrong.

She didn't want to spend all her energy on dealing with the matter, nor did she want to put herself in a difficult position day after day, so the best option was to separate right after the marriage, when the two had not yet developed a deep affection for each other.

Whose life will be without regrets?

This time and space prevents her from realizing her ambitions, and she is searching for the meaning of life every day.

But even so, she still wanted to protect her last bottom line.

She smiled sadly: "When he comes back, you can have a detailed talk with him, but you must remember, no matter what choice you make, don't let yourself be wronged."

Lu Xinran raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, finally landing on the corner of her lips, using his fingers to help her draw an upward arc.

"Sister, I will always stand firmly behind you."

So don't be unhappy. No matter how difficult the current situation is, you will get through it one day.

Time will smooth out all the ups and downs and regrets, and Tang Chongli will one day let go of his current mood.

Lu Xinlan let her play tricks on his face and patted her on the shoulder.

"You must be exhausted after staying in the palace all night. I have asked someone to prepare some food for you. You can have a good rest after eating."

Given Song Junyan's personality, she would definitely take all the troubles in the palace on herself and would not let anyone find her.

The food was brought to the main courtyard. After the two sisters had a simple meal, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Lu Xinran slept soundly that night, and when he woke up it was already bright outside the window.

The system kept screaming in her mind, "Host, do you know how much life we ​​have now? One hundred years, at least one hundred years!"

The upper limit of the life value displayed by the system is 100 years. This time, the trap set by Yunsong was cracked, and the true thoughts of Xie Lang and Zhang Yongping were accurately grasped. These are enough for the system to calculate a huge amount of life value.

"Our life span is definitely more than a hundred years, maybe two hundred or three hundred years, and you will definitely die of old age."

Lu Xinran: “…”

Not necessarily!

If she had to wait until her health points were exhausted before she died, she would probably become an old monster.

Moreover, it is hard to say whether the national destiny of the Great Chu can last that long for two hundred years.

"In the future, we can save anyone's pamphlets we want, read anyone's gossip we want, and activate the shield at any time. How great is that!"

The system was already lost in fantasy and unable to extricate itself. Lu Xinran sat up speechlessly and prepared to get up.

Protective shield...it's okay to use it to keep away mosquitoes in summer!

Otherwise it would be so painful to have so much health points but not use them up!

Song Junyan was busy in the palace for three days before returning to the Prince of Wei's Mansion late at night.

Lu Xinran received the news in advance and ordered people to prepare hot water and food. When he came back, he took a shower, changed clothes and had dinner. Then the two of them returned to the inner room and sat cross-legged on the big bed facing each other.

"I will ascend the throne the day after tomorrow."

"Congratulations, you got what you wanted."

Lu Xinran's congratulations were sincere, but Song Junyan frowned subconsciously.

"You...Xinran, are you willing to enter the palace with me? I want to hold your hand when I ascend the throne, and we will walk to the Fengtian Palace together."

Although he knew it was a topic he couldn't avoid, Lu Xinran still smiled a little awkwardly at this moment.

"I, I haven't thought about it yet."

She was afraid that the past few decades as the Queen would be the rest of her life.

People's hearts are fickle, especially men.

When he becomes emperor and opens the harem to all the concubines, there will be endless cards to turn over every day. At that time, they will only become a couple of resentment.

Like the queen, she will take decades to reflect on herself and then come to the conclusion that she has met the wrong person.

She shuddered, and the conclusion she drew made her feel cold.

Song Junyan listened to her chaotic thoughts in silence, feeling angry and amused.

"Do you remember the promise I wrote you on our wedding night?"

Lu Xinran came back to her senses from when she was about to scold him for being ungrateful. She was still a little dazed, and after a while she nodded in confusion.

"Once you ascend the throne and become emperor, that promise will lose its meaning."

In fact, it doesn't mean anything, it's just to give her some psychological comfort.

If the current situation had not occurred, and if he really wanted to marry a concubine and take in a mistress, just like when they had just gotten married, what could she do?

All she could do was to take this letter of commitment and seek a peace divorce with all her might.

But this is based on the fact that he is just a prince. Once he becomes the emperor and the master of the world, nothing can restrain him.

"You know my requirements will not change. I will not have children within three years. And you, I cannot accept sharing my husband with anyone, even if you are the emperor.

"But without an heir, the court officials would not agree.

"Without concubines in the harem, court officials will still be unable to give advice.

"This is an irreconcilable contradiction, so..."

She wanted to say that it was the best choice for both of them to separate from the day he ascended the throne.

Before she could finish her words, Song Junyan raised his hand and covered her lips.

"Why should we depend on the court officials' approval for what's going on between you and me? I'm not addicted to love affairs. All I want is you.

"You don't have to worry about the pressure from the previous dynasty, I will handle everything.

"If you are not at ease, I can write you a decree immediately after I ascend the throne. If I break my promise to you alone in the future, you can take the decree and leave at any time.

"Is that okay?"

His voice was low and a little hoarse from not having a good sleep for several days.

He did not use a coaxing tone, but only begged her softly, which made her heart itch and she didn't know how to refuse.

Is it okay?

It seems like it's possible.

Even though Lu Xinlan repeatedly reminded her not to get involved, he was so gentle and considerate that he would always take her feelings into consideration no matter what and never put her in an awkward position.

How could she not be moved by such a nice person?
