Chapter 96



At first, the entire Weibo post was filled with question marks.

Immediately afterwards, the screen was filled with shouts of "Ahhhhhhhhhhh" from the fans who came.

The Siran army that arrived later, upon seeing that the CP they supported was not acting out a story of brotherhood, but a tragic love-hate relationship, they immediately turned into groundhogs and screaming chickens, and could not bear to watch another word.

Si Ye & Yan Ran

Love! Kill!

Sad! Beautiful! Love! Emotion!

CP fans are so confused that they even suspect that the editor made a typo! !

This is a TV show that was filmed openly by the government. Is this what their CP fans want to see? !

I must have been very lucky in my previous life!!!

Knock knock knock knock!!!!!!

So half an hour later, the top comment under the official Weibo account of "Best Screenwriter" became this sentence.

srszd: Such good content must be released immediately!!! What's the point of hiding it and releasing it tomorrow!!!

The production team of "Best Screenwriter" has been keeping this a secret and has not dared to say anything after going through all the trouble in the early stages.

Now they can finally openly publicize the fact that Gu Siye will be the guest performer. They have been eager to get this going for a long time and directly bought the number one trending search, wishing to announce the collaboration with Siran to the whole world.

Once the hot search is purchased, more people will know about this matter.

Previously, Lin Yanran was innocently implicated because of the male actor’s escape from Kongtong. As a result, now everyone finds that his partner has become several levels higher and has become Gu Siye.

After hearing the news, many people were so happy that tears came out of their mouths, and many people were so envious that their eyes began to bleed.

[Best screenwriter, is this because he had previously poked the legal crap out of his family? He actually invited Mr. Gu to come to the rescue? ? ]

[Gu Siye really hasn't acted for many years, and the kids really want to watch his movies and TV shows]

[Why do I remember a lot of idiots making fun of Yan Ran before? Those people better get out and see who her partner is.]

[Those who say that the guest performers are there to take over, what does Gu Siye mean by taking over? ? ]

[I'm so envious of Yanran, Teacher Gu has never acted in a love scene]

[Looking forward to it, I am so looking forward to it!! ]

[Wow, today is also a day where I shed tears for the friendship between Teacher Gu and Teacher Yanran~]

Gu Siye's sudden joining instantly made the "Imperial Power" drama, which was originally ridiculed by everyone, become the most popular drama at present.

Especially when they learned that Siran was going to play a couple, the audience couldn't wait to urge the TV station to broadcast it immediately.

So on the day when the first episode of "Best Screenwriter" was broadcast, the ratings broke 1 just as the show started.

Even the time spent on commercials before the show has only increased, not decreased.

A newly launched program, which hasn’t even aired one episode yet, has already killed other TV stations in ratings during its commercial breaks. The collaboration between Gu Siye and Lin Yanran is simply the secret to traffic.

The audience was so enthusiastic that the TV station received many calls from advertisers, all of whom wanted to buy the prime advertising space before the film and television show starring Si Ran and her boyfriend was broadcast.

The people at the TV station burst into laughter.

However, the program team will definitely not release the "Secret of Wealth" right after the show starts.

So when they edited the first episode, they deliberately put "Imperial Power" as the last one to appear.

The audience watched TV and played with their phones at the same time. After enduring the first three programs, they finally waited for the host to return to the stage.

"This next group... Hey, it looks good!"

After the host said this, the audience immediately understood.

Here it comes, I’ve been waiting for it all night and finally it’s here.

However, it seemed that the program crew had informed the host in advance during the recording, so they kept him there to whet the audience's appetite.

"Before the work is played, our Best Screenwriter Program team would like to express our sincere gratitude to the two guest performers for their hard work."

“It was not easy to create this work.”

The audience in front of the TV heard him hesitating and couldn't help but want to rush in and beat him up.

The host probably knew that he had offended the audience, so he quickly smiled and said, "If I continue talking, someone might throw eggs at me."

After the self-aware host finished speaking, he immediately said seriously, "The next work is from screenwriter Sun Hangyi, and his title is a bloody love story in ancient style. So next, please watch the big screen together."

After waiting for a whole night, I finally got to see the drama I wanted to watch. The live broadcast sections of major websites were instantly filled with all kinds of "Ahhhhhhh" at a speed of dozens of comments per second, and I flipped through many pages.

The camera switched and the words "Imperial Power" appeared on the TV screen.

The movie time is limited, so Guo Fang simply uses narration to pass on some unimportant background information.

The opening is a confession read out by a heavy and powerful male voice.

"In the eighth year of Hongyi, Emperor Shengquan fell in love with Princess Guizhao at first sight, and then killed her lover and forced the princess to marry him. However, the princess was already pregnant at that time..."

"The princess gave birth prematurely in August, but died of hemorrhage after giving birth to her youngest son Sheng Yi. Sheng Yi's birthday coincided with the day when the moon was swallowed by the heavenly dog. The Astronomical Bureau observed the celestial phenomena at night and said that the third prince was an ominous sign. Sheng Quan was furious and banished the young son to the cold palace."

The protagonist's life experience and love-hate entanglement were introduced in just a few tens of seconds.

The audience was stunned when they saw the TV screen.

[Fuck Sheng Yi and Sheng Zhao… Is this fake orthopedics? This setting is so exciting! ! ]

[Looking at the introduction, it's a forbidden love story of orthopedic immorality, bloody revenge!!! My god, this scale, I love it!!!]

[Program crew, you are so brave]

[Si Ran, you guys are awesome! You dare to act like this! ! ! ]

[Ah ...

【Thanks handsome guy! 】

After knowing the setting, the audience rubbed their hands excitedly, stared at the screen intently, and was eager to know the rest of the plot.

The plot at the beginning is not melodramatic. It is introduced step by step with two child actors, and gradually transitions from the first encounter between the two protagonists as children to their adulthood.

The plot in the early adulthood is basically that the younger brother has a secret crush on the older brother, and the older brother notices it but does not show it, and responds secretly to the other party.

There is a hazy layer of window paper between the two of them, ambiguous yet sweet.

Especially the part where they release lanterns together, Guo Fang created the scenery very well and the shots were sweet and beautiful.

The sky is full of blooming lanterns, but Sheng Zhao only has one person in his eyes.

But he didn't know that Sheng Yi, who was lighting the lanterns, was actually secretly watching him.

It was deep winter and heavy snow was falling outside the palace.

Sheng Zhao had been bedridden for several months and was extremely afraid of the cold.

Sheng Yi specially ordered people to get the fur of wild foxes and made him a warm cloak.

As soon as the cloak was made, he went to Sheng Zhao's bedroom.

"Xiao Zhao!"

Sheng Yi came in excitedly, but saw that there was no one on the bed.

His heart suddenly dropped and his expression changed instantly.

A while ago, Sheng Zhao fell seriously ill. The imperial physician tactfully advised Sheng Yi that he could go out more often and breathe fresh air, which would help his body recover.

So he untied the chain on the man's ankles and gave him the privilege of walking freely in the palace.

But once the chains were removed, Sheng Yi was always worried that one day when he woke up, the other person would not be by his side.

Seeing that there was no one on the bed, Sheng Yi turned around and was about to look for someone, but saw Sheng Zhao standing behind him.

The other person was wearing the new clothes he had sent him before the New Year, and his complexion looked much better than before.

Sheng Yi looked at the person in front of him and was stunned for a moment.

Sheng Zhao called him softly, "Royal brother."

The call of "brother emperor" made Sheng Yi's throat stiff.

Sheng Yi looked at the person in front of him. The word "Royal Brother" seemed to bring him back to the past.

At that time, he was still Sheng Zhao's most trusted brother.

The other party always likes to play some tricks to make himself lead him by the hand and carry him home on his back.

He always likes to follow behind me and call me "Royal Brother".

And when I always look at myself, there is always light and stars in my eyes.

After calming down, Sheng Yi slowly spoke, "I haven't heard you call me like this in a long time."

Sheng Zhao smiled, "Really?"

Sheng Zhao smiled at him, and Sheng Yi quickly followed suit.

He helped the other person put on his cloak and asked, "What's the happy event today?"

Sheng Zhao shook his head. "It's just that today is the Lantern Festival, and I want to go out and see the lanterns."

Sheng Yi's hand movements paused.

He glanced at the person in front of him and saw that Sheng Zhao's eyes were full of expectation, so he couldn't bear to refuse him.

"good."

Sheng Yi wrapped the cloak around Sheng Zhao and tried to reach out to him like he did before.

Originally he had prepared himself for the other party's rejection, but he didn't expect Sheng Zhao to directly approach him with a smile.

Just like before.

On the bustling street, Sheng Yi held Sheng Zhao's hand and strolled under the lanterns, as if they were in another world.

"I haven't seen you this happy in a long time."

Sheng Zhao nodded, he looked up at the sky with envy in his eyes.

“It’s very free here.”

Sheng Yi's hand, which was fiddling with the lantern beside him, stopped in the air.

He didn't dare to respond to Sheng Zhao's words, but held the man's hand tighter.

Sheng Zhao seemed to be talking to himself. After looking at the moon for a while, he said to Sheng Yi, "Brother, let's go to the Star Picking Tower and take a look."

Sheng Yi didn't move. "There's a new Mingyue Tower in the West City, and the view there is better. If you want to light lanterns, why don't you go there?"

Sheng Zhao shook his head when he heard this, "I didn't do this for sightseeing."

He turned to look at Sheng Yi, a faint smile on his face, "Brother, do you still remember that you carried me on your back in the Zhaixing Tower?"

Sheng Yi froze.

He felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out, and he was almost unsteady on his feet.

Xiao Zhao wants to go to the Zhaixing Tower because that is where their shared memories are.

It took a long time before Sheng Yi carefully carried Sheng Zhao on his back as usual.

"Now I will carry you on my back too."

Sheng Yi hugged Sheng Zhao tightly, but felt that he was much thinner than before.

He carried the person on his back and didn't even feel much weight.

Sheng Yi felt as if his heart was broken by a knife when he realized all the sins he had committed against Sheng Zhao.

"Xiao Zhao, I'm sorry."

"In fact, I have thought about stopping."

The night you expressed your feelings to me, I also thought about calling it quits and living freely in this world with you, growing old together.

Imperial power is just a tool of revenge to me, I don't really covet it.

That man took my parents' lives, so naturally I would take away his most precious thing.

He loves the country the most, so I want to seize it from him.

I am not being hypocritical towards you.

But before he died, that man discovered my background. He planned to dig up my mother's grave and execute me secretly.

The situation at that time was no longer under my control. If I hadn't continued to move forward, I might not have even lived to see you.

I can't tell you the truth. I just want to tell you slowly after I have dealt with everything.

But when that time really came, I found that we had reached a point of no return.

Sheng Yi recalled the past events, but for a moment he didn't know where to start explaining.

There were too many misunderstandings between them, and he had hurt Sheng Zhao too much.

Everything is tangled together like a tangled mess, and it's hard to explain.

Sheng Yi didn't know where to start explaining.

Sheng Zhao smiled indifferently.

He cast his gaze on Sheng Yi's black hair, and in the moonlight, he discovered that there were a few strands of white hair on it.

"In fact, there is no difference between you being the emperor and me being the emperor."

"I don't like the court, I just want to be an idle person." Sheng Zhao combed out the few strands of white hair in his hair, but said lightly, "Being an emperor is so tiring. Even if you didn't..."

Sheng Zhao paused, then immediately changed his words, "Even if I had been the emperor, with my appearance, I would have been nothing more than a tyrant."

When Sheng Yi saw Sheng Zhao calling himself a tyrant, he immediately retorted, "How could that be? You care about the world and are kindhearted..."

As Sheng Yi spoke, he couldn't help but imagine what Sheng Zhao would be like as emperor.

He had a smile on his face and spoke gently.

"If you ascend the throne, you will definitely be a good emperor respected by all the people."

Sheng Zhao smiled and shook his head, "Then at best he can only be a mediocre king, without any merit or fault, living a mediocre life."

He gently brushed the few strands of white hair on Sheng Yi's head, with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

"In fact, it's good for you to be the emperor. You have governed this vast country very well."

Although you keep saying that you want to destroy the empire your father built, you are the one who cares most about the country and the people.

"The officials of the previous dynasty accused you of being cruel and ruthless, but your iron-fisted approach has actually made life better for the people."

Sheng Zhao rolled those white hairs around his fingertips and said, "The people need you."

After saying this, Sheng Zhao took a deep breath, and his tone became cheerful again, "If those things hadn't happened, maybe now you would have become the best king of Guizhao."

Today, when the two talk about the past, they no longer need to avoid each other.

Sheng Yi was not angry at all, instead he joked, "How do you know that I will be a king instead of a dandy prince?"

Sheng Zhao nodded mischievously, "Indeed, you are so handsome, you must have owed a lot of romantic debts."

Sheng Yi couldn't remember how long it had been since he had heard Sheng Zhao's voice so vividly.

Seeing that Sheng Zhao was rarely happy, he did not dare to break this warmth, so he could only carry him on his back and walk forward step by step.

"No, if I owe anyone anything, I will only owe one person. I will probably offer myself to the emperor, Sheng Zhao, and take the initiative to ask to marry him."

Sheng Zhao's face flushed after hearing Sheng Yi's indecent words. He leaned his head on Sheng Yi's shoulder and smiled faintly, "Brother, you are making fun of me again."

After he finished speaking, he rubbed Sheng Yi's clothes gently with his cheek, like a lazy and coquettish kitten.

Sheng Zhao remembered the last time, the other party carried him up to the Zhaixing Tower in the same way.

He was so cautious at that time, afraid that if he got too close, his secret thoughts would be noticed by Sheng Yi.

He had longed so much to be able to lean on the other person's shoulder and tell him what was in his heart.

At the beginning, just imagining this scene would make me blush and my heart beat fast.

Now he can finally let loose.

But I found that leaning on Sheng Yi's shoulder was such a warm feeling.

Sheng Zhao closed his eyes. He really hoped that he could stay with Sheng Yi like this for the rest of his life.

Sheng Zhao leaned on his shoulder for a long time without saying anything, and Sheng Yi thought he was asleep.

After a long time, he suddenly heard an almost inaudible voice coming from behind him.

Sheng Zhao said to him, "Let her go. She and those old ministers are no longer able to fight against you."

Sheng Yi did not answer.

Sheng Zhao closed his eyes again, pretending that he had never said anything, and tactfully stopped talking about the matter.

The Zhaixing Tower was some distance away from here, so Sheng Yi carried Sheng Zhao on his back and walked towards it step by step.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, like a guiding lamp, illuminating the shadows of the two brothers snuggling closely together.

After a long time, a sigh was heard in the night.

"good."

Sheng Yi promised him: "As long as you want, I will do as you wish."

Sheng Zhao's health was not as good as before. By the time he reached the Zhaixing Tower, he had already fallen into a sleepy sleep.

He thought about how Sheng Yi had been carrying him for a long time, so he said, "Let me get down."

Sheng Yi didn't let go, "I'll carry you up, and you continue to sleep."

Sheng Zhao didn't come down, but he couldn't fall asleep looking at the narrow stairs.

Many fragments flashed through my mind.

Every time Sheng Yi stepped on a step, he remembered some things in the past.

Good and bad.

Painful and sweet.

He thought he had forgotten.

But I found that I remembered everything clearly.

"Back then, I was plotted against by my second brother and was almost poisoned to death. From then on, you must use a silver needle to test everything I make and eat it yourself, and protect me with your life."

Sheng Zhao opened his mouth slowly and told the story of their past.

"Three months later, my second brother died unexpectedly while hunting outside the palace."

"I was very scared at the time, but you held me and slept all night."

"Before going to sleep, you said to me, Xiao Zhao, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Sheng Zhao hugged Sheng Yi's shoulders tightly. They trusted each other so much at the beginning.

He remembered that he once said to Sheng Yi, you are the person I trust the most.

He remembered it very clearly, and the other party answered him, always.

So when he was imprisoned in the palace with a chain and humiliated again and again, Sheng Zhao could not help but think back to that night.

He asked himself again and again.

Why do some people not keep their promises?

Sheng Zhao didn't know when he started crying.

He wiped it gently with his fingers and felt two cold streaks on his cheeks.

While speaking, he accidentally choked on the air twice, causing him to cough violently.

"Let's not talk about it for now. It's windy here."

Sheng Yi stopped and his voice became hoarse, as if he had been crying.

Sheng Zhao shook his head stubbornly and leaned his face on Sheng Yi's shoulder again.

"But I wanted to talk to you."

His voice was soft and muffled, "Royal brother, I have a lot to tell you."

I want to ask you something.

Why did you choose me in the first place?

Is it because I am stupid and easy to deceive, or is it because you have long seen that I have ulterior motives towards you and you are deliberately taking revenge on me?

The more Sheng Zhao thought about it, the more his heart ached.

Brother Huang, you don’t have to lie.

I can give you whatever you want.

The emperor is so tired, I don’t want it at all.

As Sheng Zhao thought about it, he couldn't help but shed tears again.

Tears wet Sheng Yi's clothes.

Sheng Zhao glanced around and found that he had reached the fourth floor.

There is one more floor, and then you will reach the rooftop terrace.

He spoke quickly, and spoke so quickly that he couldn't hide his tears.

"Brother, I will help you destroy the jade pendant. There is nothing in this world that can threaten you anymore."

Sheng Yi walked up the last step and gently put Sheng Zhao down.

He turned around, held the other person's face, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Every word of Sheng Zhao's words hurt Sheng Yi.

But he held back and firmly corrected Sheng Zhao, "Yes, I still have concerns in this world, and I still want to start over with him."

Sheng Zhao's tears blurred his vision.

He understood what Sheng Yi was saying.

But there is no going back between them.

He carries the expectations of his mother and his subjects, as well as the debt his father owes to Sheng Yi.

Now, his mother and the old party members of the previous dynasty were all thrown into prison by Sheng Yi.

And his mother used the same method to force him to kill Sheng Yi.

He became everyone's bargaining chip and handle.

But he just couldn't bear to let either party down.

"Don't cry, don't cry. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

Sheng Yi found that he couldn't wipe away Sheng Zhao's tears. Thinking that his words made Sheng Zhao angry, he simply hugged him and apologized.

"I will release your mother and the others. If you don't want to stay in the palace, you can go wherever you want."

Sheng Yi felt very heartbroken.

I wonder, how could he have ever been so generous?

But his intuition told him that he had to be generous this time.

Sheng Yi kissed his forehead, reluctant and reluctant.

He had kept the other person by his side for so long, but in the end he couldn't catch anything.

"Xiao Zhao, don't cry, I will set you free."

Sheng Yi coaxed the person in his arms softly and didn't even notice that Sheng Zhao did not agree to him.

Sheng Zhao stopped crying and raised his hand to gently stroke Sheng Yi's face.

"Brother, can we light a lantern?"

"good."

Sheng Yi looked back at the entrance to the terrace. The secret guards following behind him immediately laid out the lanterns, pens and ink and then disappeared into the darkness again.

Sheng Zhao said nothing, but lowered his eyes secretly.

Upon seeing this, Sheng Yi immediately dismissed all the secret guards in the dark.

Seeing that Sheng Zhao finally relaxed, Sheng Yi handed the pen to Sheng Zhao as he did in the past.

"Xiao Zhao, come and write."

Sheng Yi listened to his own voice and found that his vocal cords could not help but tremble with every word he spoke.

How long has it been since he regretted it?

I had clearly promised to let him go, but I just couldn't bear to do it.

Sheng Zhao didn't look at Sheng Yi, but took the pen, lowered his head and carefully wrote four big words on the lantern.

Just like before, there is still peace and joy.

"Brother, now that it's written, please put it up in the sky."

Sheng Zhao handed the lantern to Sheng Yi with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.

Sheng Yi took a deep look at the person in front of him, wanting to remember this smile forever in his mind.

You will be lonely for the rest of your life, so you must always have something to think about.

"Brother, why don't you order yet?"

At Sheng Zhao's urging, Sheng Yi hurriedly bent down to help him light the lantern.

When Sheng Yi lit the lantern and sent it into the sky, he turned to look at Sheng Zhao.

"Xiao Zhao, look."

When he looked at the last word, his tone suddenly changed.

Sheng Yi then realized that Sheng Zhao, who had been standing next to him, was now standing on the edge of the low fence of the terrace.

Seeing this, Sheng Yi ran over and screamed heartbreakingly.

"Xiao Zhao!!"

Sheng Zhao was still smiling, gentle and beautiful.

Under the moonlight, he looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

Just before Sheng Yi arrived, he said softly, "Brother Emperor, my father owes you his life, I will repay it."

"In the next life, we don't want to be born into a royal family."

When he looked up and jumped backwards from the tall building, Sheng Zhao's affectionate eyes were still looking at the person he loved most.

He is gentle to everyone, but extremely cruel to himself.

Guo Fang shot the scene of Sheng Zhao jumping off the building very beautifully.

A sad BGM sounded, and a beautiful young man in white clothes fluttered in the wind, his clothes flying.

The camera slowly moves up from the scene where Sheng Yi collapses and reaches out to catch Sheng Zhao but fails, and finally freezes on the lantern that has already floated into the air.

The lantern was blown around in the wind.

On the back of the word "peace and joy", Sheng Zhao also quietly wrote a line of small words.

"May I be like a star and you like a moon, shining brightly every night."

If there is an afterlife, we will start over again.
