Chapter 446: Are you not happy being the emperor?
There was laughter and joy in the Cining Palace.
"Yun Zhao!" Deputy General Gao was completely impressed. "You are amazing! You are the person I admire most in my life!"
"Your attacks, layer upon layer, left Mu Chengyan powerless to fight back. You held such a huge bargaining chip in your hand, and yet you could still watch them jump around like clowns. Awesome! Incredible!"
Yun Zhao smiled faintly and ate the food that Qicai prepared from the small kitchen.
Deputy General Gao rambled on for a long time. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Xie Jingmo, "Hey, you will be the emperor tomorrow, why don't you say anything?"
"What's wrong?"
"Are you not happy being the emperor?"
Xie Jingmo raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Zhao.
The candlelight in the room was very bright, and it cast a hint of bright red on Yun Zhao's face.
He uttered a vague "hmm".
Deputy General Gao held his head in his hands in exaggeration, "Oh my God, you're the emperor, and you're not happy? What do you need to do to be happy? If I could be the emperor, I would be so happy that I'd go crazy!"
Qicai looked at Deputy General Gao with a smile, "You are very happy now."
Deputy General Gao nodded naturally, "Of course, my brother is the emperor, I am naturally happy."
Yun Zhao had a smile on his face when someone came in and announced, "Empress Dowager, the Regent wishes to see you."
Yun Zhao still had that smile on his face, but the others couldn't laugh anymore.
"You guys eat, I'm going out for a while."
Yun Zhao put down his chopsticks and went out. Fu Hai wanted to follow him, but Yun Zhao waved his hand and said, "Just sit down and eat. Don't worry. He won't do anything to me."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he went out.
The people in the room wanted to get lively again, but Xie Jingmo's sour face dampened the joy of the whole table.
Deputy General Gao raised his head and took a sip of wine. He thought that he should understand why Xie Jingmo would be happy.
Qicai stood aside and whispered to Fuhai, "General Xie is usually a cheerful person. Why is he so gloomy now? Is he in a bad mood?"
Fu Hai said nothing, but simply said: "You must take good care of the new emperor's diet in the future."
Qicai didn't understand what this meant.
Just as I was about to ask, Fu Hai had already gone out.
Yun Zhao walked to the door and saw Mu Chengyan standing outside. He still looked as handsome as before, but the ferocious look on his face distorted his good looks.
"Why?" Mu Chengyan asked.
Yun Zhao was a little tired. He had been busy all day and was really exhausted.
She casually sat down on the steps at the door, straightened her sleeves, and then asked calmly, "Why?"
Mu Chengyan stared at Yun Zhao's slightly pale face, "You know what I'm asking!"
Yun Zhao looked at the big tree opposite. A cool breeze blew, and the leaves made a rustling sound.
"If your question is why I should tell everyone there's a problem with your edict, I think you should have the answer in your heart."
Yun Zhao's tone was very calm, without any ups and downs.
It's like talking to someone you don't know well on a daily basis, with a bit of indifference and distance.
"I don't understand!" Mu Chengyan's face was full of paranoia. He stared at Yun Zhao fiercely and said in a heavier tone, "I don't understand, Yun Zhao!"
Yun Zhao's tone remained calm. "Because I am Yun Zhao," her eyes gradually sharpened. She looked at Mu Chengyan and said, "Because I am Yun Zhao, who has witnessed the cruelty of war on the frontier. Because I know how important a wise emperor is to a country."
"Because I'm a friend of Vice Admiral Gao, I understand how anxious he was when his wife disappeared."
"Because I am Lieutenant General Lin's sister, I know that his child is now alone and helpless, and will suffer the hardships of his parents in the future."
"And because I am the mother that ten-year-old child has called me for so many years."
"Mu Chengyan, I am not Yun Zhao just for you."
"I am the Queen Mother of this world. Your Yun Zhao would have died long ago due to your repeated threats and manipulations."
"Mu Chengyan, I'm sorry that we've come to this point, but what I want to say is, let's just stop here. No matter how many whys, it's all in vain."
Yun Zhao's eyes are big and bright.
She looked at Mu Chengyan directly and sharply.
She said so frankly: "You are not fit to be the emperor, and you will never be fit to be the emperor. No matter how many times the situation today happens again, the one I choose will still be Xie Jingmo."
Mu Chengyan's heart died at this moment.
He stared at Yun Zhao, his voice trembling, "I have one last question for you."
Yun Zhao was very generous, "You ask."
He will answer whatever Mu Chengyan asks today.
This is at least a responsible explanation for this relationship.
Mu Chengyan said, "Yesterday, you told me that you were willing to go back to Liziguai with me. Is that true? Or are you just lying to delay me?"
Yun Zhao said, "Both."
"I want to get away from here and go to a place where no one knows me. It's true."
"I want you to go back to Liziguai with me so that Xie Jingmo can ascend to the throne smoothly. This is also true."
"I hope to make everything go smoothly at the lowest cost."
Mu Chengyan's mind was moved when he heard this. He immediately said, "You mean, if I had agreed at that time, you would have followed me back to Liziguai?"
Yun Zhao: "Yes."
Mu Chengyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Yun Zhao, so what you mean is that you still like me and I'm still in your heart, right?"
"No," Yun Zhao said directly, "I just want to return to Liziguai to live. My parents are there, and we can avoid any disputes. That's all. We can't go back to the way things were before, Mu Chengyan. I have never concealed this from you. I believe that if you are willing to accept it, you can see it clearly."
Yun Zhao is a very frank person.
Her directness at this moment made Mu Chengyan completely unbearable.
He stood there, feeling like he had been slapped hard in the face.
He laughed coldly, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or at Yun Zhao.
"Since you are so devoted to Xie Jingmo and don't have me in your heart, why do you want to leave? Why don't you stay in this palace and be affectionate with Xie Jingmo?"
Yun Zhao smiled when he heard this. "Don't worry about that. I've already answered all the questions you wanted to ask. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he stood up.
Yun Zhao had already taken off his luxurious clothes during the day and was now wearing only plain clothes.
The hem of her dress swayed in the breeze, just like her beautiful appearance when Mu Chengyan first saw her.
He called out Yun Zhao's name.
Yun Zhao did not look back, but walked straight into the profound Cining Palace.
At this moment, Mu Chengyan clearly realized that his relationship with Yun Zhao was completely broken off.
There is a stranger relationship between them.
Mu Chengyan stood there in a daze for a long, long time...
