In the imperial study, Shui Yao was sitting on the dragon throne. There was a memorial on the dragon table in front of her. It was the memorial that A Luo had not finished reviewing.
Shui Yao flipped through the memorials on the table, and she felt a headache after just a few glances. It was possible for her to run a company, and it was also possible for her to kill people. She could kill people with one hand and collect money with the other, clean and neat.
But sitting here reviewing memorials and listening to the chatter of civil and military officials in court, she didn't know if she had enough patience, unless the morning court was moved to the national treasury, where she would sit on the boxes of gold, silver and jewels, playing with the treasures while listening to those people chattering!
Looking more carefully at the text reviewed by A Luo, it is well-reasoned and every word is neat. It can be seen that he was trying hard to be a good emperor, but it was fate that played tricks on him!
A figure flashed in, Shui Yao looked up instinctively and saw a face wearing a silver fox mask.
"Tian Wen, there's no one else here, you'd better take off your mask. To be honest, I miss your peerless and stunning face!" Shui Yao yawned lazily, curled up in the spacious dragon throne, and waved lazily.
There was no wavering in the calm blue eyes, Tianwen quietly unloaded
Shui Yao raised her eyebrows and gave a thumbs up in admiration. A man with such a graceful figure was really suitable to stand on the top of the legendary snow-capped mountain. Occasionally, he would look back gracefully, and his grace at that moment would be so touching that it would move people's hearts.
Tian Wen slowly raised his icy white lips. For the first time, he felt that it was a happy thing to have such a peerless beauty. However... He lowered his eyes to glance at the memorial in her hand, and doubts in his heart rose again.
"Why did they destroy the Miro Kingdom? Was it just because of a maid like you?" Tian Wen asked calmly, his blue eyes filled with doubt.
Concern and irony,
"I haven't forgotten what you said that day. You said that I was ambitious and didn't care about the people of Louxi. So what are you doing now? Are you raising an army and starting a war just for a little maid?"
Shui Yao smiled lazily, twisting her hair and glancing at him, "I knew you would ask this. You are still not convinced in your heart. To be more precise, you blame me for not helping you, right? Just like Zhuifeng and the others said, they think I am a traitor to Louxi Country. If it were me, Louxi Country might have been restored by now!"
"Isn't it?" Tianwen's eyes gradually became darker. "Everyone has their own aspirations. Besides, you are not the original Lan Shuiyao at all. It is your freedom to choose how you want. I just want to ask you, how do you explain your current behavior now?"
Shui Yao smiled faintly, her green eyes sparkling, "I have never thought about becoming the Green Rose Queen and replacing the Miro Kingdom. This is also the reason why I conquered Mi City and did not want to expand outward!
The matter between A'Luo and I must be resolved. Ling Shuiyan's existence is ultimately a scourge, so even without Ying Lu, things would still develop in this way. It's just that I didn't expect A'Luo to be so persistent. I originally thought that at the last critical moment, he would accept Nan Han and become a vassal king, but now..."
Shui Yao lazily threw the memorial on the table, "Now I am in a difficult situation!"
Tianwen raised his eyebrows, "You don't want to be the empress? You know, this is your destiny!"
"A phoenix from another world, a phoenix that lives all over the world, right?" Shui Yao lazily stretched out her jade-white arms, squinting at the sky and asked, "How do you know this is my destiny?"
Tianwen smiled faintly, "You don't believe it, right?
You have never believed what I said!"
"It's not that I don't believe it, but even if it is, so what? I live for myself and don't owe anyone anything, so I am free and I can do everything with confidence! So what if it is fate? What if I don't follow fate? Tianwen, there are many things you can't predict, and God won't reveal them to you!"
Tian Wen lowered his eyes. Now he seemed to understand why he was attracted to this woman. It was not because of her stunning appearance, nor because of her charming temperament, but because of her heart, her upright heart!
"Leng Jiu wants to see the empress!" Suddenly, Leng Jiu's voice was heard outside the door. Tian Wen's eyes darkened, he quickly put on the mask, and calmly walked out of the imperial study.
Shui Yao lazily sat on the dragon chair and said in a sweet voice, "Come in!"
The door was open, and Leng Jiu knelt all the way to Shui Yao.
Shui Yao raised her eyebrows and looked at Leng Jiu who was bowing on the ground. "You want me to save A Luo?"
Leng Jiu nodded immediately, "Please save the master!"
Shui Yao lazily played with the wolf-hair brush on the dragon table. It was the brush that A Luo had used before and she took great care to protect it.
Seeing Shui Yao didn't answer, Leng Jiu kowtowed again, "Leng Jiu knows that his words are not taken seriously, but he still rashly asks the Empress to save the master. Now only you, the Empress, can save the master, so please give me the benefit of the doubt for the sake of my master's deep love for you!"
The wolf hair brush in Shui Yao's hand broke into two pieces in an instant. Leng Jiu's eyelids jumped, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.
"Leng Jiu, you have seen the whole development of the matter clearly. Don't you think that Luo is in this state now because of his love? He should have awakened long ago!"
A flash of light flashed in Shuiyao's blue eyes.
The words of the elite were neither light nor heavy, but they had a power that could make people tremble with fear.
"Leng Jiu understands, but when love is deep, who can control it? Empress, is it a sin to fall in love with you?" Leng Jiu mustered up the courage to raise his head and looked straight into Shui Yao's eyes.
The sharpness in Shui Yao's eyes gradually faded.
Seeing Shui Yao restrain her intimidating gaze, Leng Jiu knew that she must have calmed down, and he prostrated himself on the ground again, "Leng Jiu understands that the empress has given her master a chance.
It’s just that in such an occasion, the master is so angry that it is absolutely impossible for him to look at these issues rationally. Leng Jiu swears on his life that the master loves Princess Nanyue..."
Leng Jiu smiled bitterly.
"Are you begging me to give Luo another chance?" Shui Yao sneered, "Unfortunately you asked the wrong person, Leng Jiu, the person you asked was your queen, not me!"
Leng Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized and knelt on the ground again.
The door of the imperial study was closed. Shui Yao put aside the coldness and curled up lazily on the dragon throne, waiting for the development of the situation.
If Nan Han is willing to give A Luo a chance, then she will also be giving herself a chance, and then the snow lotus root that Leng Yichen has gone through so much hardship to find will be of use!
It was clearly autumn outside, and although a little chilly, the crabapple blossoms were still blooming beautifully. However, in Nanhan's room, one could feel a burst of coldness.
Yue Nanxuan tried every way to make Nanhan laugh, but Nanhan seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were empty, he just stared at one place quietly.
"Nanhan!" Yue Nanxuan sighed and wanted to hold Nanhan's hand, but the coldness of his hand made him frown fiercely, "Nanhan, wait a minute.
I will break A Luo's leg right now. This traitor must die a horrible death!"
Yue Nanxuan stood up angrily and was about to leave when his collar was grabbed by Nan Han.
Yue Nanxuan looked in the direction of the jade-white little hand. Nanhan looked at him quietly and shook his head, "Royal brother, please give Nanhan the last bit of dignity!"
Yue Nanxuan was stunned. He slapped the round table next to him hard, and the table broke into several pieces in an instant.
Nan Han's eyes flickered. She had never seen Yue Nanxuan lose his temper like this. No matter how difficult the situation was, he would always face it with a smile. But now...
"Nanhan, marrying you to A'luo is the most wrong decision of my life!" The tall figure stood in front of the window, slowly shrouded in anger and faint sadness, Yue Nanxuan spoke in a low voice.
Nan Han shook his head. "Royal brother, Nan Han has never blamed you, nor have I ever regretted it. It's just fate..."
Yue Nanxuan turned around and was about to say something when Leng Jiu's respectful voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, "Leng Jiu wants to see the Queen!"
"Queen, you head!" Yue Nanxuan roared, strode out of the room, and punched Leng Jiu hard on the forehead that had just been raised. Leng Jiu immediately stepped back a few steps, and his eyes were in pain and he didn't open them for a long time.
"Brother!" Nan Han stood barefoot at the door and smiled faintly, "He is just a servant, why do you have to embarrass him?"
"I am also the servant of that A Luo. I just want to fight and kill people today. What's the matter?" Yue Nanxuan stiffened his neck and stepped forward to kick Leng Jiu hard. Leng Jiu groaned and endured it.
He knelt on the ground respectfully as usual, "If you have any anger, just vent it on Leng Jiu. Please, Queen..."
