The former stubbornness, the exposure of their identities, and the current situation have long separated the two of them from an unbridgeable blood feud...
Chu Yeli slowly closed his eyes, untied his belt, took off his dragon robe and threw it on the ground.
Placed together with it was the Imperial Seal of Great Chu.
He turned and left.
This time, there is no more nostalgia or reluctance, I have completely let it go.
He thought, maybe he should find a deserted place and end this ridiculous and sad life.
Perhaps, he shouldn't live in this world, his existence is like a joke.
perhaps……
There was no one to collect his body.
So sad.
What on earth has he done in these twenty years?
Oh……
"Fifth brother."
A mute but familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him. Chu Yeli's back suddenly straightened, he stopped, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
She called him!
Call him as before!
But... he was too ashamed to face it.
The corners of his eyes quickly turned red, and the hazy mist blurred his vision. The man clenched his hands tightly, suppressing his out-of-control posture. He paused for only half a second before continuing to walk away.
Chu Li stood on the steps, watching Chu Yeli's back gradually walking away.
Tonight, she sorted out everything and put an end to the past, but her mind was filled with so many complicated thoughts.
The world is uncertain and everyone is a chess piece.
Including her.
Including him...
Outside Chengyang Palace.
Chu Yeli walked out with heavy steps, staggering steps, sad eyes, wearing only an undershirt, as if he had lost his soul.
The dormant archers in the dark were shocked when they saw this:
“Your Majesty, this is…”
"it's over?"
"Didn't they say there would be a fierce battle tonight?"
The lurking guards held swords, but they felt confused as if they were "drawing their swords and looking around", and were at a loss.
"?"
Why did the emperor come out?
Why did he even take off his dragon robe?
In the dark, those eunuchs serving were actually the Black-Armored Guards who mingled among them, including Xiao Yexing.
Seeing Chu Yeli walking out alone, Xiao Yexing frowned and looked towards Chengyang Palace suspiciously.
"Are you done?"
So fast?
It's over before the fight even starts?
So easy?
"Commander Xiao, are we still going to fight?"
"What's going on?"
Xiao Yexing pondered: "It's a trick, let me go in and investigate, you stay here and wait for orders."
"yes!"
The black-armored guard held the sword at his waist and hid it tightly, watching Commander Xiao slip into Chengyang Palace, and then he came out in just a few breaths.
Commander Xiao: "Retreat!"
Black Armor Guard: “?”

This night is peaceful and quiet, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the imperial capital remains the same, the imperial city remains the same as before.
On the roof of the Dacheng Hall, two figures quietly blended into the night.
The imperial walls, red pillars, long streets, tiled eaves... neatly overlapping palaces all come into view. Under the swaying candlelight and the cover of moonlight, it is extremely peaceful and quiet.
The wind blowing in my face is slightly cool.
Chu Li gathered the hair around his ears, picked up the wine jug and took a sip.
Chu Dichi knelt down and sat beside her, gently holding her head and resting it on his shoulder.
"Uncle, is there anyone you care about?"
Chu Dichi looked into the night sky in the distance and said, "Yes."
Whether now or when he was young, the person he cares about is always the same person.
But except her...
His mother died early, as did his father. He was targeted by his elder brother, and he had to escape death several times, always walking on thin ice... He stumbled along the way, but he went further than anyone else.
Chu Li took a sip of wine and said, "I have always thought that my biological parents were from a poor family, but I never dreamed that from the day I was born, I was a chess piece on Master Guiyi's chessboard and part of his plan."
ridiculous.
Who said that parents who love their children will plan for them long-term?
"Not every father in this world can be called a father." Chu Di said late.
"Xiaojiu, what you have may be what others cannot even ask for in their entire life. On the contrary, the happiness that others have may be what you desire all your life."
There is no smooth sailing in life.
No one is perfect.
Live in the present.
Cherish the people around you.
Chu Li took another sip of the spicy wine.
In the past, she seldom drank, let alone got drunk, but once she got drunk, she could blur her mind, forget her troubles temporarily, fall into the man's arms, and mutter incoherently:
"I'm... sorry..."
"Uncle..."
Chu Dichi held her steadily in his arms, gathered the loose hair on her cheeks, looked at her blushing face and blurry eyes, and muttered something. The strong aroma of wine was particularly intoxicating.
"I... am ashamed... ashamed of you..."
"What?"
The voice was hoarse and the words were unclear, so Chu Dichi could not hear it clearly.
"I... ahem... uncle..."
She mumbled unconsciously.
Chu Dichi hugged her, thinking that she had complicated feelings and had been through so much, which was too great a blow, and she was afraid that she was very wronged.
"Go to sleep."
He patted her back gently, "Go to sleep, I'm here."

When the first rays of sunlight in the early morning shone on the imperial capital, the city gates opened wide and the black-armored guards marched into the imperial capital in neat and orderly steps.
When the common people woke up and saw this scene, they were stunned:
"What's going on?"
"War?"
"Wait! These are the Regent's Black Armored Guards! How did they enter the city? Could it be..."
As everyone was shocked and realized something, countless pairs of surprised eyes looked towards the direction of the palace.
The Regent is back?
The Regent has successfully taken power?!
In one night, there was no fighting, no killing, no wind or rain, but when you wake up, the world has changed?
That's it?
Before everyone knew what was going on, everyone was dumbfounded.
really.
The outcome was decided overnight.
Da Chu is back!
An imperial decree was passed down, requiring all officials above the fifth rank in the capital to enter the palace for an audience!
harem.
Chu Li was drunk last night, but Chu Dichi took care of him all night and gave him sobering soup. When he woke up in the morning, he didn't feel unwell at all and went to the backyard immediately.
Kick the door open.
Poor Chu Aotian had his hands and feet tied and thrown on a hard bed. No one cared about him. He had been hungry for three days and three nights. He had lost a lot of weight and his eyeballs were bulging from hunger.
"Eighth Brother!"
Chu Li came to save him!
Chu Aotian barely opened his eyes, his lips were covered with dry dead skin due to thirst.
"Ninth... Ninth sister?"
Is he dreaming?
He has asked for help too many times in the past few days. Has Ninth Sister appeared and come to save him?
etc!
"Am I already dead?"
Oh my God!
Is he starving?
He was born into a royal family with a noble status, but ended up starving to death?
He is so miserable!
Even if you are reborn into an ordinary farmer's family, you will have enough food to eat!
Chu Li rushed forward and untied the ropes on him. "What do you mean by life or death? Don't say such discouraging words. Eighth brother, you are alive and well. You will live a long life."
"ah!!"
Chu Aotian held his head and screamed:
"So you are a ghost? You appeared, sensed that I was in danger, and climbed out of the coffin to save me?"
