After that incident, Di Lan's temperament changed drastically, and within two years he became somewhat mentally retarded.
After seven years of using the identity of Emperor Lan, Emperor Mian finally ascended the throne at the age of 22 with the support of the Empress Dowager.
The first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to change his name from "Lan" to "Mian".
This was also the first time in twenty-two years that he lived openly in the sun, and the strange temperament he had suppressed for so many years was slowly released.
Especially after he discovered that he was inhumane, his temper became even more violent.
He is paranoid, irritable, cold-blooded and murderous...
Even after becoming an emperor who had power over the lives of others, he could not reconcile with his childhood experiences, nor could he get rid of that unbearable past.
Emperor Mian thought, perhaps this is the inner demon that he can never get rid of in his lifetime.
Therefore, he hated everything in this world equally. If someone accidentally angered him, they would die without even a complete body.
But all this suddenly changed when Gu Jinqiao appeared.
For some unknown reason, his impotence that had plagued him for years was miraculously cured.
And when he had a nightmare at night, she would come up to him, hug him gently, and smooth his brows.
She would curl up in his arms like a kitten and fall asleep peacefully.
Every time he came to see her, her breathing was shallow and light, as if she was already fast asleep.
But as soon as he stretched out his arm, she subconsciously moved towards him and snuggled into his arms obediently.
He enjoyed that kind of close contact, and even more so, having someone depend on him like that.
Emperor Mian turned his head to look at the person in his arms. He was already asleep, with a peaceful and beautiful sleeping face.
From time to time, a mountain breeze blew by, ruffling the hair on her temples.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was not sleeping soundly.
Emperor Mian reached out and gently touched her little head, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
Then he gently tucked her hair behind her ears.
After completing this series of actions, a satisfied smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
Then she murmured, "Your Majesty..."
Di Mian was stunned for a moment, then his smile became even bigger. He turned sideways and hugged her, trying to make her sleep more comfortably.
The person in his arms didn't seem to be sleeping peacefully. His little hands kept circling his arms, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
He couldn't help but find it adorable, and the curve of his mouth deepened.
After a long while, he murmured softly, "Life is short, without you, there is no joy."
…
When Gu Xiaoqiao woke up again, he found himself surrounded by nothing, and even Emperor Mian was gone.
But his coat was still spread out beneath me, so I guess he should be nearby.
Zhuochen was also there, lying in the grass not far from her.
She sat up and rubbed her eyes.
The afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire valley, and the sunset glow in the sky seemed like a burning flower, gorgeous and dazzling.
She stood up, straightened her clothes, walked barefoot to Zhuochen, and sat next to it.
This was her first time to come into such close contact with a Arabian horse. It would be a lie to say she wasn't excited.
Look at that untamed mane, that flawless white fur, those graceful and powerful hooves, those bright eyes...
In one word, absolutely!
No wonder Emperor Mian was willing to go to war with that small country for this horse. This kind of horse is really worth it.
"Can I touch you?"
Zhuochen seemed to understand what she said and shook his neck slightly to show his agreement.
Gu Xiaoqiao immediately reached out and carefully touched its furry ears. "Hmm, they're really soft."
And there is no unpleasant smell on it, only the fragrance of grass.
She suddenly felt that this trip was worthwhile. Not only did she see the beautiful scenery of the valley, but she also saw such precious horses.
After feeding Zhuochen some grass, she stood up and walked around again.
This valley is really beautiful. Dotted with various small wild flowers, the whole valley looks extremely quiet and beautiful.
Gu Xiaoqiao squatted down, picked a wild flower and pinned it in her hair.
The evening breeze from the mountains is pleasant and comfortable.
Faced with such a scene, the dancing gene in her body seemed to be awakened, and she couldn't help but stretch her body and dance lightly.
This scene happened to be seen by someone walking over from a distance, who couldn't help but be a little dazed.
As the sun sets, the woman's thin skirt flutters, like an elf fallen into the mortal world.
Her dance steps are graceful, her posture is light, and her every frown and smile reveals her spirit.
Those smart eyes sparkled even more.
As expected, she was the woman he had his eyes on. She was no ordinary person and even danced so beautifully.
And when she danced, her whole body was filled with spiritual energy.
Unconsciously, a smile gradually appeared on that handsome face.
Whenever he saw her, he would feel much happier.
It feels so good.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoqiao suddenly raised her eyes, and her gaze happened to meet Di Mian's. They were both stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty, you are back."
When Gu Xiaoqiao saw Di Mian coming back, he stopped.
But when I saw what he was holding in his hand, I was stunned.
This is too strange.
Emperor Mian, who has always been a bit of a germaphobe, was actually holding a goat with yellowish hair in his hand.
"Your Majesty, could this be the sheep that ran away from that child's home?"
