Jiang Xianhao paused for a moment after saying this.
She suddenly took a box out of her bosom.
Emperor Rongcheng looked over and saw Gu Jingchun take out a white jade pendant from the box inside.
His pupils contracted.
This is... the jade pendant he smashed that day.
He was still wondering when he saw Jiang Xianhao frown.
"This is the jade pendant you gave me the third time we met. Unfortunately, I don't know why, this jade pendant broke on its own."
"It took me a lot of effort to stick it together."
Emperor Rongcheng pointed at the jade pendant and his voice trembled.
"You're saying this jade pendant was a gift from me?"
Jiang Xianhao nodded.
"Yes, you forgot? When you met me for the third time, when you helped the Crown Prince deliver this jade pendant to the Lady, I told you about it."
I'll take it as a gift from you, and I even used that as an excuse to keep you company all day.
After Jiang Xianhao finished speaking, she smiled, as if she was still recalling what happened that day, her eyes filled with sweetness and happiness.
Emperor Rongcheng seemed to be nailed to the spot.
It turns out that this jade pendant represents him!
Emperor Rongcheng felt heartbroken whenever he recalled the sadness in Jiang Xianhao's eyes when he smashed the jade pendant that day.
He suddenly felt a deep hatred for himself.
I hate myself for forgetting something so important!
He spoke in a trembling voice.
"Ah Hao, I...I..."
He had no idea how to explain, but Jiang Xianhao stopped him and continued, "Don't speak yet, let me finish."
"Otherwise, I'll be too embarrassed to say it once I sober up."
As he spoke, he carefully examined Shen Wanshan's face.
"Sink Wanshan, sink Wanshan!"
"Do you know that Li Wenci and I have always been friends? There has never been any romantic feeling between us, and the woman he likes has always been someone else."
Jiang Xianhao then tilted his head back and drank another glass of wine.
"I don't know if you've met her before, but her name is Fu Shiyu. She's an incredibly talented and extraordinary woman."
“I told her I liked you, and she said, you are my destined one, and you are destined to be the emperor of Dacheng.”
"But what I didn't tell her was that I had already decided on you at that time."
No matter what you become in the future, no matter whether you succeed or fail, even if your uprising fails, I will die with you.
“Li Wenci discovered my thoughts, so he has been keeping an eye on me in secret.”
Finally, after confirming your success, he personally escorted me to your side.
Jiang Xianhao then tilted his head back and drank another glass of wine.
She seemed drunk; her voice became unclear, and the person in front of her appeared somewhat shadowy.
She smiled and extended her hand.
Her fingers landed on Emperor Rongcheng's face, and tears, which she could no longer hold back, burst forth.
“Chen Wanshan, I really like you. I like you so much that I can selfishly disregard Li Wenci’s death, just so I can be with you.”
"But you... but why..."
Before Jiang Xianhao could finish speaking, the hand that had been on Emperor Rongcheng's face slowly fell, and he slumped weakly onto the table.
Emperor Rongcheng immediately reached out to grab her hand, but he couldn't grasp anything.
He sat there blankly.
His gaze was fixed ahead, then fell on Jiang Xianhao, who was slumped over the table, completely drunk.
Suddenly I realized that everything I had done in the past few years was a joke.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Two lines of clear tears slowly flowed down his face, just like his state of mind at that moment.
He reached out to hug Jiang Xianhao and take her back, but found his hands trembling.
"Smack—"
He slapped himself across the face.
How could he possibly be worthy of holding her?
How could he possibly be worthy to touch her again!
All he needed to think about was how he had misunderstood her and neglected her all these years.
Recalling the scene where Jiang Xianhao kept explaining to her, she felt a piercing pain.
He couldn't even imagine how much pain Jiang Xianhao must have been in at that time.
Meanwhile, in the capital city of Tiandu...
The soldiers guarding the city gate vaguely heard some noise.
They immediately climbed onto the platform to check the situation, but suddenly someone slit their throats from behind.
Soon, the city gates opened.
A large army marched into Tiandu under the cover of night.
Their synchronized steps were particularly noticeable in the pitch-black night.
Some civilians peeked out when they heard the commotion, but upon seeing the perfectly aligned soldiers, they were so frightened that they immediately shrank back and closed the door behind them.
Marquis Yong'an, Gu Wei, sat high on his horse, his eyes looking down with an air of absolute confidence.
Behind him sat Gu Nansheng, also seated high on his horse.
Hearing the commotion from afar, the soldiers at the palace gate immediately looked over. Upon seeing the large number of government soldiers, they were so frightened that they took several steps back and scrambled back as fast as they could.
"Someone is plotting a rebellion! Someone has rebelled!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword pierced through his chest.
Gu Wei'ang sheathed his sword and immediately gave the order.
"rush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers behind him rushed forward.
The guards quickly closed the palace gates and rushed into the palace to report the news.
Emperor Rongcheng carried Jiang Xianhao to the bed.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Jiang Xianhao's pale face, and felt increasingly distressed.
He stood up, intending to leave, but Jiang Xianhao suddenly frowned and spoke.
"pain……"
She frowned and murmured to herself.
"Wanshan...I...it hurts so much..."
