Chapter 23: Unspeakable Pride
Qin Ning gritted his teeth and controlled his emotions. He really didn't want to admit defeat, but he heard the emperor's words clearly, and he couldn't help but take them to heart. He knew that the emperor would do what he said, and this was not a new trick. The emperor had treated those who displeased him in this way before, but he had never thought that the emperor would do this to him. Now that he thought about it, he had been too self-righteous and thought that
"Kill me now." He would rather die than be humiliated, and would never give this woman the chance to treat him like this. Please remember our website
"Stupid, you can't die if I don't allow you to. Even if you really die, believe it or not, I have a way to bring you back to life." There was an evil aura in his domineering manner, and a arrogance in his gloomy manner. At this moment, Qian He Liyou made everyone dare not look directly at him, let alone ignore what he said. Even such a ridiculous statement made people have to believe it.
"Then what exactly do you want? Do you want me to kneel at your feet and beg you to want me? Do you want me to obey you without any personality? I tell you, this is simply impossible. What's the point of living if you lose yourself?" The emperor's relentless pressure, fear and surprise, uneasiness and confusion, made Qin Ning's pride reach the brink of collapse. He could not control himself, and his roar was filled with deep helplessness.
Being forced to such an extent by a woman whom he once looked down upon made him feel very embarrassed, especially because of her attitude towards him. Everyone said that the emperor's attitude towards the evil concubine had changed greatly, but who knew that the emperor treated him the same way? The cold and emotionless look in his eyes made him feel like he was hated. So, did he do anything wrong?
"I let you go, but you chose to die. Do you think this is what is called pride? This is simply stupid. Any choice is much smarter than yours. Choosing death is the most cowardly behavior, because you can't face the eyes of others, and you can't accept the words they say about you, so you choose to die. To be frank, I look down on you, and I don't think you have any pride at all, stupid person."
Many times, dying is much easier than living, but a proud and stubborn person like Qin Ning may not be persuaded with just a few words.
"I'd better find a place for you to sober up." Qian Heliyou stretched out his hands to hug Qin Ning's waist, and gently flew up, all the way to Jingbo Lake behind the Imperial Garden. Qin Ning wanted to struggle, but found that she couldn't break free at all. Then, before she could react, she fell from the air weightlessly and fell into the cold lake water in an instant.
Qian Heliyou stayed in the air strangely, looking coldly at the person he threw into the lake. Qin Ning knew how to swim, and although she choked on the water because it was too sudden, she quickly floated to the surface and looked at the person in the air in surprise.
"Are you awake?" Qianhe Liyou's voice seemed to come from outside the sky, cold and without a trace of emotion.
"You you..." Qin Ning didn't know what to say anymore, and could only tremble as she said the word "you"
"I don't like people who make trouble. You'd better behave yourself. I..." Qian Heliyou suddenly stopped and looked not far away. A group of people were rushing over from that direction. They were in a hurry and had a familiar breath.
"The Queen Mother Arrives"
"My son, what happened?" Luo Yu heard the palace servants report about the imperial study early in the morning. He didn't want to care about it at first, but later he heard that the emperor had released Concubine Ning from the palace. With his wisdom, he thought of Qin Ning's choice almost instantly. Although he didn't care about Qin Ning's life, for the sake of my son's reputation, he couldn't ignore this matter, so he hurried over and saw Qianhe Liyou standing above the lake.
"I'm just teaching the disobedient concubine a lesson, don't worry." Qianhe Liyou still couldn't call out Luo Yu's honorific title.
After hearing Qianhe Liyou's words, Luo Yu also saw Qin Ning struggling in the water, and showed a look of surprise. The palace servant next to him cleverly narrated the general situation in Luo Yu's ear, and he finally understood.
"My son, that's just a lesson. Don't get yourself angry. Come down quickly. Your father has prepared some tea. Come and have some tea with you." Ever since the emperor left because of the matter of the witch concubine that day, Luo Yu has thought about it carefully. He feels that the emperor is really different. It can be said that he has changed, or he can say that he has hidden it too deeply. But no matter which one it is, he is very happy with the current emperor. The momentum, the means and wisdom, the martial arts talent, no matter which one, all make him, as a father, very satisfied. This is what he thinks the emperor should be like, and it is worthy of his painstaking cultivation. He thought that he had been cold all his life, and the only thing he cared about was this son. He always thought that this would be a regret in his life, but he never thought that things are unpredictable and there would be such a big change suddenly.
Whatever the reason, he was grateful to God for everything he had received.
Qianhe Li Youming knew that Luo Yu was pleading for Qin Ning, but he still nodded, fell from the air and stood beside Luo Yu.
Luo Yu was wearing a golden and white robe today, which made him look elegant and noble. However, because he was in a hurry, his long hair was a little messy. Qian He Li You saw it and naturally smoothed Luo Yu's hair.
"It smells so good." Every time she got close to Luoyu, she could smell a hint of condensed fragrance, which made her very happy.
"Ah, Huang'er, what are you talking about?" Luo Yu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Huang'er's intimate action made him feel a little helpless. His body instinctively wanted to step back, but he didn't want to alienate the father-daughter relationship. He forced himself to let those hands linger in his hair and say words that made him blush.
"Let's go, let's go taste tea." Qianhe Liyou withdrew his hand as if he had never done anything, and took two steps forward. Seeing Luo Yu still standing there in a daze, he turned back and naturally held Luo Yu's shoulder, and said softly.
Luo Yu had not been so close to anyone for a long time, which made him feel very unnatural. He wanted to break free from the soft touch, but found that the hands were small but very strong. When he thought that these were his daughter's hands, he stopped struggling and let Qianhe Liyou take him to his own Luoxian Palace.
The two of them didn't say a word on the way. Qian Heliyou smelled the condensed breath on Luo Yu with satisfaction. A strange light flashed in her deep eyes. The bold breath seemed to have integrated Luo Yu into her body.
Behind the two of them, Qin Ning was left alone in the lake with an extremely complicated expression in his eyes. When he finally got ashore and the servants nervously stepped forward to ask him, his eyes went dark and he fell into a coma because of the excessive shock.
