Chapter 147 The Death of Gao Huan [Bonus Chapter]
who is she?
Remember her!
I can go home as soon as I remember!
I want to go home!
I want to go home!
I want to go home!
"His Majesty."
Guan Zhiwei casually reviewed the memorials.
"Your Majesty!" Gao Huan raised his voice.
Guan Zhiwei suddenly came to her senses and saw the other person sighing helplessly.
He said reproachfully, "Did you hear what His Majesty and I were saying to each other for so long?"
Guan Zhiwei chuckled: "I was taking the memorials too seriously, what did you say?"
Gao Huan watched as she scribbled all over the memorial, making marks and circles. The minister must have been terrified, wondering what she had done wrong to anger His Majesty so much.
He didn't expose her, but simply repeated helplessly, "Your Majesty, I want to enter the palace, not as Empress, just as a Noble Lady."
"Mmm." Guan Zhiwei's mind was already wandering; her eyes were on the memorial, but she still managed to squeeze out a perfunctory reply.
At first, she didn't react and just gave a perfunctory "uh-huh" or "yeah." After she figured it out, she looked up at him and said, "What's wrong with you?"
A status like his, enjoying the emperor's favor yet free from constraints, is something many people yearn for. Yet he, quite the opposite, actively requests to be tied up.
Gao Huan calmly said, "How can this be considered madness? There are countless people who want to enter the palace to serve His Majesty."
Guan Zhiwei scoffed, "They didn't have a choice. I'm not this friendly to everyone, giving them the power to advance and the power to retreat. Gao Huan, only you... don't you understand how much I love you?"
What she gives him must be the best, from the bottom of her heart.
"I understand. But I wish to serve His Majesty."
"you?"
Guan Zhiwei remained expressionless, sizing the man up and down, focusing primarily on his lower body: "If you enter the palace, can you serve me well? Is your manhood as important as Zhijun's?"
Gao Huan's forehead veins throbbed: "There are different levels of realm, but they are not superior or inferior based on them. 'Fine rain brings out fish, a gentle breeze makes swallows slant' is not as good as 'The setting sun shines on the great banner, horses neigh and the wind whistles.' 'A precious curtain hangs idly on a small silver hook' is not as good as 'Mist obscures the pavilions, the moon veils the ferry crossing'."
Guan Zhiwei was surprised and clapped her hands: "Don't say that, it's still the most elegant excuse that scholars come up with."
"Your Majesty, I'm serious," Gao Huan said, embarrassed and annoyed.
Guan Zhiwei threw down the pen in her hand, adjusted her posture, and asked as if facing an unreasonable child, "Tell me, who bullied you? Who scolded you? Who forced you to make a choice between the imperial court and the harem? I'll take care of them for you."
Gao Huan remained silent.
She reached out and pulled him into her arms. "It seems you really have been bullied. I've spoiled you so much, how could someone be so blind? Don't be sad, I..."
"I only have one life left."
"..."
Guan Zhiwei looked down at him in her arms.
His expression was calm.
Tears streamed down her face as she said sadly, "Didn't you promise to spend the rest of my life with me? I've already given up everything, just wanting to spend the rest of my life peacefully with you."
Gao Huan laughed: "Your Majesty, you don't need to lie to me anymore. I can lie to myself."
Guan Zhiwei stopped crying and just looked at him quietly.
He showed neither joy nor sorrow, calmly arranging his own affairs, saying, "I have no father, no mother, no brothers, and no children. When I am about to die, I only wish to be buried next to Your Majesty, to receive a stick of incense from future generations, so that I will not become a lonely ghost."
"Nothing else?"
"No."
Gao Huan stood up, took a few steps back, knelt down and kowtowed: "Throughout my life, I have suffered from illness, but I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's favor. Whether this favor is true or not, I am moved to tears. Even after death, I will never forget Your Majesty's kindness and will pray for you day and night, wishing you all your wishes come true."
Guan Zhiwei looked at him and chuckled, "You're playing your mother's tricks."
He looked up, his face already streaked with tears.
They looked at each other, and for so many days and nights, they could only tell each other their innermost thoughts.
Who can tell whether someone is sincere or not?
Guan Zhiwei, have you ever considered that being trapped here is actually a form of protection?
[The shop has elixirs of immortality. If you truly accept him from the bottom of your heart and complete romance quests, you can exchange for one, and he can live.]
I can tell you have feelings for him. Everyone else is fake, only he is real.
Guan Zhiwei stood up and walked step by step toward Gao Huan. "I can save you, but if I compromise, I won't be able to go home."
"Your Majesty, I am not worthy, I dare not ask for more." Gao Huan sobbed uncontrollably.
She held him in her arms, kissing his forehead repeatedly. "I really like you. I liked you from the first moment I saw you. It wasn't in Xiahe Village, but on the roadside in Shangjing. The wind blew up the curtain, and I saw you. It was only much later that I realized I liked you back then."
[The plot begins...]
"Pfft."
Gao Huan felt a sharp pain in his abdomen as the knife was inserted.
He wasn't surprised at all, but his eyes were lifeless, and blood seeped from his lips, soaking his clothes: "Your Majesty... take me into your harem and then kill me, so that after I die... I can still have descendants to carry on the family line..."
Guan Zhiwei pushed him away, and he fell to the ground like a broken rag doll.
She squatted down beside him, looking him up and down, her face expressionless, yet filled with a sense of horror: "You will have no descendants. I will kill you and leave your body in the wilderness for wild dogs to devour. You will die without a burial place!"
"Oh, I see."
Gao Huan felt no resentment or hatred; he simply watched her quietly, his eyes filled with boundless sorrow, before slowly closing them.
[Aaaaaah! Why! Why did you do this to him? You broke his heart! He's almost dead, and you still treat him like this!] The system suddenly broke down; the system went numb!
"Because of you."
"Didn't you want to see me date?"
“I made a mistake before, which was that I killed those people too quickly. You weren’t invested, and you didn’t care much. How are you now? Are you in pain? You’re just a system, you probably don’t know what pain is.”
"It's okay, we'll take it slow. If one isn't enough, I'll kill two. If two aren't enough, I'll kill three! If men aren't enough, I'll kill women. If the elderly aren't enough, I'll kill children!"
"You'll remember this!"
"I have everything I need!"
"I have nothing left!"
"I don't want anything anymore!"
Are you out of your mind?! What's so great about your run-down home? It's a third-rate county town, you can't even find a job after graduating from university, doing that kind of menial work for a measly three thousand a month! How can that compare to experiencing life in this world! How can that compare to being an emperor!
"My mom is sick! She has leukemia! She's waiting for a bone marrow transplant!"
"I borrowed money from all my relatives, including my second and third aunts! They emptied their savings to raise money for me!"
"Then I disappeared!"
"I'm gone!!!"
