Husile pinched the lanyard on the jade pendant.
Under the jade pendant, the green tassel swayed as the jade pendant swayed, stinging Xiao Yuqi's eyes and causing some pain.
"Hengzhi!"
He whispered softly.
This is... Hengzhi’s jade pendant!
In my memory, that young man full of vigor and vitality could draw a bow and shoot two geese with one arrow. He was also very talented in writing and could speak eloquently.
He knows etiquette and knows how to act and behave properly. He is a truly upright gentleman.
When he was excluded and ridiculed, she would affirm him and say to others with dignity: "Dingkun is very good."
At that time, Xiao Yuqi was just an unpopular prince.
He struggled to survive in the long court and struggled forward.
...
...
Finally, relying on his own efforts, he walked step by step to the presence of the late emperor. What other princes could easily get, he had to go through a million points of effort to barely get one ten-thousandth of it.
The look in my father’s eyes, my father’s attention, my father’s affirmation, my father’s praise.
He had to calculate everything.
At that time, Duan Hengzhi could always help him out without making a sound when he was in trouble.
He said: "I have a younger brother at home. He is very lively and active, but he always likes to imitate adults. He is very young, but he pretends to be mature. He actually doesn't like reading very much, but prefers to wield swords. Many times, I saw him crying quietly while holding a book. He always cares too much about what others think and wants to do everything the best. However, there is no perfect person in this world."
"In this world, the two things that move people the most are nothing more than the innocence of children and the sincerity of adults."
Duan Hengzhi was not very old at that time, just a few years older than him. However, the principles he understood were things that many people would find difficult to understand in their entire lives.
Xiao Yuqi still remembers the relaxed look on his face when he said these words.
It was also from that time that Xiao Yuqi understood the metaphor in Duan Hengzhi's words.
My father has lived a lifetime and has met so many people, some real and some fake, some real and some fake, that even he himself can't tell them apart.
The older you get, the more you want to pursue true love.
He discarded those who had treated him sincerely and praised those who were insincere.
When people reach middle age, they begin to miss those people in the past who have been sincere to them.
How ridiculous?
Xiao Yuqi was a cautious person, always on guard and careful.
It was Duan Hengzhi who taught him how to truly please his father.
My father likes the innocence of children and the sincerity of adults.
Each of his favorite princes was taught to be too snobbish by their respective mothers.
They are too young and always show what they think on their faces.
Xiao Yuqi understood the truth, and he showed his childish innocence in front of his father at the right time.
As expected, he gained the emperor's favor and sympathy.
Once, twice, three times.
He moved out of the long court.
In that cannibalistic palace, for the first time, I had my own palace.
Although it is remote, the place is not big.
But that was his place.
A place that belongs to him alone.
Now it seems that Duan Hengzhi has been dead for four years.
Four years ago, when the news of Duan Hengzhi's death in the battle between Liaoyuan Pass and Northern Hu reached Jian'an City, countless people in Jian'an City cried for him until their tears dried up.
Hengzhi was such a good man, but his body has never been found.
Now, his jade pendant suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yuqi.
It was still held in Husile's hand.
Xiao Yuqi was rarely emotionally stable.
"Tell me, where is Hengzhi?"
An evil smile appeared on Husile's feminine face.
"Want to know where he is?"
He took a step forward, and a blade pierced the skin of his neck, cutting out scarlet blood.
Husile seemed to feel no pain at all and didn't even frown.
"It's very simple, dear Majesty Tianyu, how about you take her in exchange?"
Husile pointed at Su Jianyue.
Xiao Yuqi subconsciously pulled Su Jianyue behind him.
"You're dreaming."
He refused without a second thought.
"I heard that your majesty and the Duan brothers have a very close relationship. So, in your majesty's eyes, decades of brotherhood is not as good as the relationship you have with this woman for just a few months?"
Husile took the sarcasm to the extreme.
"Your Majesty, do you know that because he has always refused to cooperate with my plan, I have tortured him to the point where he would rather die than live?"
A look of pain appeared on Xiao Yuqi's face.
"For four whole years, he lived a life worse than death. For you, he would rather die than reveal a single secret to me. Sometimes, I really envy you for having such loyal warriors under your command."
Every word he said was like a knife cutting into Xiao Yuqi's heart.
Duan Hengzhi was tortured for four years, but he did not choose to betray him or Tianyu.
Everyone in the Duan family is loyal to him.
But, exchange it for the moon?
No, absolutely not.
The moon is his life.
Xiao Yuqi closed his eyes, feeling a dilemma.
Suddenly.
His clenched fist was grabbed by Su Jianyue.
The soft and warm touch was transmitted directly from the back of his hand into his gradually cooling heart.
Xiao Yuqi opened his eyes, and the bloodshot in his eyes was melted away by Su Jianyue's tenderness.
Su Jianyue stood in front of Xiao Yuqi, her thin body could not block Xiao Yuqi's tall figure.
But she just stood there.
He stood in front of Xiao Yuqi, trying to protect him.
"You should know who I am, right?"
Su Jianyue smiled and said, "I am the goddess of Tianyu. I will only protect Tianyu. Beihu is not my responsibility."
Husile: “…”
"Even if Beihu is not under your control, I am happy as long as I think that you can't control Tianyu either."
He is very paranoid.
Su Jianyue suddenly pulled out an electric baton from his pocket.
"Happy?"
Su Jianyue licked the corner of her lips and pulled the collar of her clothes as high as possible.
When Chen Gang saw that thing, his heart shuddered.
The black-armored soldiers under his command also retreated half a step.
The tent was not big to begin with, but they were considerate enough to leave enough space for Su Jianyue so as not to affect her performance.
Husile didn't understand.
"Are all the men in Tianyu so useless? How could you be scared by such a skinny woman?"
Su Jianyue walked towards him step by step.
Husile was still smiling.
"Who can you beat with such a short stick?"
He's not bragging, but even if he uses a stick that's not even as long as his palm as a hidden weapon, he still thinks it's in the way!
"What are you doing?"
Su Jianyue walked in front of him.
Husile was ready to attack at any time.
Su Jianyue had already raised the hand holding the electric baton.
"I'm not a gentleman. I beat women. I beat women very hard!"
Husile's voice became louder and louder.
Su Jianyue gave a polite smile.
"Are you ready?"
Husile: “Hmm?”
The next second...
