At this moment, she was an outsider, free from worries. "Chang'an, I'll go back first. If anything happens, tell someone to call me."
Chang'an is silent.
When Gu Shijia left.
A familiar sound of footsteps was heard.
In the past half month, this kind of footsteps was the sound that Changan missed the most. It appeared in his dreams countless times, but when he woke up, there was nothing.
Countless times of worry, countless times spent in hope and disappointment, but in the end, it did not bring peace of mind, but uncertainty.
Bei Mingxuan was dressed in plain clothes.
Walk to the tablet and burn incense.
The pot of wine at his waist spilled all over the ground in front of the coffin.
Changan raised his eyes, a stubborn look on his face, tears in his eyes, and bowed his head respectfully.
"Gu Changan, I meet you, Your Majesty."
"Why don't you call my name?" Bei Mingxuan looked at Chang'an's silent face. He pulled his hands out with heartache, and clenched them tightly behind his back, but he didn't know where to put them.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders now?"
Bei Mingxuan frowned and opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Only at this moment did he realize how pale and powerless words were.
Thousands of words could not compare to her eyes, a look that was willing to look at him, "I owe you an explanation."
"Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, and Chang'an dare not ask for the word 'owe' from you."
After Chang'an finished speaking, he bowed his head and banged it hard on the ground.
Looking up, he saw a pool of blood, "Gu Chang'an, congratulations to the Emperor, the goal has been achieved.
With my father's passing, all ties between you and me are severed and we have no further connection!"
Bei Mingxuan took a deep breath, as if he was angry, angry at Chang'an, and even more angry at himself.
He looked at the blood on Changan's forehead, frowned deeply, walked forward, and held her shoulders with both hands, "Get up, I feel bad!"
"Don't touch me!"
Chang'an stubbornly broke free and looked up. "You can die if you want, disappear if you want, and appear and ascend the throne in grand style if you want... I have been searching for thousands of times, but I have received the news that my father has been sentenced to death... You have given me an unexpected surprise."
"I'm sorry..." Bei Mingxuan withdrew his hand. He had no explanation for Gu Qingfeng's death. No one believed that Gu Qingfeng was already a corpse when he came back.
Everyone knew that out of consideration for their past friendship, he had left Gu Qingfeng with an intact body...
Chang'an tried hard not to cry out loud and not to shed tears in front of Bei Mingxuan.
It's just that all the control is so powerless and fragile.
Can’t touch, can’t think…
Just like all the love between him and her, it seemed that it would be shattered in a single breath...
Bei Mingxuan stopped talking and just looked at
Looking at Chang'an's trembling body.
Look at her stubbornness and the anger she tried so hard to suppress.
A long time...
A low whimper came out of her mouth little by little, and there was another word along with the crying.
"Why? Has my father ever let you down? He's clearly already left Shudu, and you said you never found my father. Or have you been lying to me all this time?"
"Chang'an, you need to rest now. Your eyes..." Bei Mingxuan noticed that Chang'an's eyes were getting redder and redder. It was abnormal and frightening. He was worried about Chang'an's health. "When you get better, you can know anything you want. Just rest first, okay?"
His eyes were filled with pleading and heartache. "Mr. Qingfeng's death has nothing to do with me. I know he is the person you care about the most..."
"But you are also a person who always puts your country and people first." Chang'an laughed sarcastically, "You care about the country, the people, and the people of your Shuzhou country... After all, my father is from Shijin country, right?
Sacrificing a citizen of another country to build your reputation as a king is a good deal no matter how you look at it."
"Chang'an." Bei Mingxuan patiently comforted him, "Don't worry, I will give you, and Mr. Qingfeng, an explanation. Calm down, don't cry... You, your eyes... do they hurt?"
"It hurts?" Chang An looked at Bei Mingxuan, sneered, and patted his chest, "It's not even one ten-thousandth of the pain I feel here."
"Don't be like this, it hurts me! Changan."
"Go away, I don't want to see you." Chang'an turned his head and stared at Gu Qingfeng's coffin.
"Your Majesty!" Fu Lin looked anxious, "Bei Mingye has kidnapped the Queen Mother..."
This was something Bei Mingxuan had not expected. He looked at Chang'an with reluctance and heartache in his eyes. He wanted to stay with her, but he didn't have the courage.
In the end, he said nothing and turned and left.
The current empress dowager is the former Concubine Tong.
Bei Mingxuan's biological mother.
The Gu family returned to silence, with only the sound of the flames burning paper...
Changan held the coffin, a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
"Dad. In this life, I come here for revenge and to fulfill my filial piety.
But he repeated the same mistake and caused you to die in obscurity.
In that life, I was exploited and burned to death. I thought that if I came back, I could be an outsider and see everything clearly...
I thought that a heart full of scars would never heal, but I didn't expect it to be healed by Bei Mingxuan, so I happily... took out the patched heart, but who would have thought that it would be shattered again.
How can one not hate this, how can one not feel pain? Dad, my daughter's heart aches, it hurts so much! "
"You asked for it."
Xu Mengyun's voice rang out from the darkness, "From the beginning to the end, my cousin has been telling you clearly that he wants the kingdom of Shuzhou. He is also a man with a strong sense of purpose.
Moreover, the relationship between you was a transaction from the beginning.
What my cousin wants is the kingdom, and what you want is Bei Ming Ye's life and a place to stay in the Ninth Prince's mansion."
Listening to Xu Mengyun's words, Changan Meng turned around, tears in his eyes.
Instead, there is anger and hatred.
At this time, her eyes became even redder.
Zifeng, who was standing by, sensed the murderous intent coming from Chang'an, and frowned, "Xu Mengyun, stop talking nonsense.
Go back to where you came from. Aren't you afraid of the emperor's punishment for coming here without permission?"
"My cousin naturally agreed to my appearance here." Xu Mengyun glanced at Zi Feng with disdain. "It's just a random bet in Piaomiao City. You really think you're just a dog by Gu Changan's side."
Xu Mengyun looked at Chang'an. Although her eyes were red, she was extremely beautiful, so enchanting, so beautiful that made her jealous.
"But then again, Gu Changan, you have also made an invaluable contribution." Xu Mengyun smiled, "My cousin said that if it weren't for the Southern Kingdom's soldiers fighting to the death against the Shijin Kingdom's soldiers, the tens of thousands of us in Piaomiao City would have no chance of surviving.
Although the imperial city of Shuzhou Kingdom is under our control, Gu Qingyun's former soldiers are just a bunch of straw bags on the border and cannot be compared with the soldiers of Shijin Kingdom.
Therefore, if there were no soldiers from the Southern Kingdom to resist the Shijin Kingdom, the entire Shuzhou Kingdom would have been conquered by the Shijin Kingdom long ago.
Perhaps the person sitting on the throne of Shuzhou Kingdom at this moment is the Dongfang Prince of Shijin Kingdom."
