Hearing Xiao Meiren's words, Li Zhu sighed. A person's love can truly make them fearless of death, but would he give up revenge?
Thinking of this, he shook his head and said...
"I won't…"
Yes, he won't easily give up his hatred for Xian'er and Uncle Wei; they are innocent too…
"So he chose to face it with death. He didn't want to put me in a difficult position. We had just recognized each other, and restoring our kingdom was my deepest desire. He knew this very well, so he fulfilled my wish in this way..."
Xiao Meiren's words left Li Zhu speechless; it was indeed a difficult choice!
"But he could have chosen to kill me..."
Li Zhu didn't know how he felt, but no matter what, he was very sad!
"He knows that if he really killed you, I would never forgive him..."
"Hi!"
Li Zhu sighed. Love in ancient times was truly beyond his reach; a person could love so deeply, and at the same time, so humbly…
He would do anything to make the person he loves happy, including giving up his own life!
"You sacrificed someone who loved you..."
Li Zhu said, sounding distressed.
"I will stay with him. I will never marry again in my life. My heart has gone with him..."
Xiao Meiren said calmly, seemingly having seen through everything. Now she was living only for revenge, and nothing else mattered...
"One should not live solely for hatred; one should also live for oneself..."
Li Zhu couldn't help but refute Xiao Meiren's excuse for being alive!
"Live for myself? Can I still live for myself? Everything I had was destroyed the night the capital fell, and it's all gone now..."
Xiao Meiren held Changsun Lang in her arms, perhaps thinking it would make him more comfortable, or perhaps it would make her feel better!
He spoke without a trace of emotion, as if his last emotion had vanished with the death of Changsun Lang…
Li Zhu didn't know how to comfort her. She had been consumed by hatred for too long, and her thinking had become extreme. The smarter a person is, the more prone they are to getting stuck in a rut, because such people believe that everything they do is right and cannot tolerate any questioning from others...
If you want to change the mindset of these people, you'll have to be smarter than them...
But this isn't modern times, where you can use instruments to test your IQ. Besides, he suspected that his IQ might actually be lower than Xiao Meiren's, after all, even Li Zhu was terrified by her schemes…
"None of this is your fault, so why do you have to carry so much burden?"
Li Zhu sighed and said!
Do I even have a choice?
How much heartache and helplessness were contained in those words? Did she have a choice? When the city fell, she was just a little girl, but now so many missions and responsibilities have been imposed upon her…
Given her current status and position, she's no longer someone he can simply give up on...
From a young age, she was instilled with too many ideas that weren't her own, and these ideas have influenced her life, making her unable to even boldly admit her own feelings...
Changsun Lang learned through his death that the person he loved also loved him, and it was only after he closed his eyes that they truly belonged to each other…
"Hey, I want to know how Xian'er died?"
Although it wasn't the right time, he still asked the question he most wanted to know. He knew it would ruin the atmosphere of their final farewell, but if he didn't get to the bottom of it now, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Xian'er and Wei Gonggong…
"Perhaps you should ask your two good younger brothers about this; they might be able to tell you how Xian'er died..."
Consort Xiao, holding Changsun Lang, replied calmly!
Hearing her words, Li Zhu could already guess the outcome. To bring him down, his second and third brothers had become so ruthless and insane…
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
Li Zhu knew very well that this question was pointless. This scheme had started a long time ago, and the mastermind was Consort Xiao. How could she not have been involved?
Even if he hadn't time-traveled, the plan would still have proceeded; the outcome was already predetermined…
Even though he knew all this in his heart, he still hoped that Xiao Meiren had nothing to do with this matter!
"Although Xian'er's matter wasn't my idea, I didn't stop it either..."
Xiao Meiren said without any emotion!
Li Zhu took a deep breath, glanced one last time at her holding Changsun Lang, turned and left her boudoir, leaving the rest of their time to the two of them…
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Since the other party gave him their life, he could only put aside his hatred for Eunuch Wei for now...
This time, after leaving the post station, Li Zhu headed straight for the palace. A large group of people returned to the outskirts of the capital, just as they saw the Second Prince and the Third Prince walking out of the palace...
The second prince instinctively paused, but remembering that this was the palace, he figured Li Zhu wouldn't dare do anything to him. Especially seeing the Imperial Guards behind Li Zhu, a surge of anger welled up inside him, and he walked out without a second thought…
"Second brother, third brother, what a coincidence! I never expected to meet you here..."
Li Zhu looked at the two men with a mocking expression, which made them feel that something was very wrong. However, they quickly thought that since the matter had been handled so secretly, Li Zhu couldn't possibly know any clues. So they still spoke arrogantly.
Unfortunately, just seeing you makes me feel annoyed...
The second prince, remembering his recent loss of face, was still determined to embarrass Li Zhu upon their meeting. Moreover, the Imperial Guards behind Li Zhu were his subordinates, so he felt he had no reason to fear Li Zhu. If necessary, he would order the Imperial Guards to arrest Li Zhu…
"Really? What a coincidence, seeing you also annoys me..."
Li Zhu looked at the Second Prince, grinned, and his white teeth flashed with a cold light that even the Second Prince could feel…
"Li Zhu, I didn't expect you to be so foolish as to bring my people before me to humiliate me. How can I possibly praise you?"
The second prince glanced at the Imperial Guards, and his confidence grew even stronger!
"Your people? Will they answer if you call them?"
Li Zhu looked at him leisurely, his tone full of sarcasm, which made the Second Prince's face turn ugly instantly. Being humiliated like this in front of his own people, how could he maintain his prestige in front of them in the future?
"Soldiers, listen to my command! Seize this piece of trash before you!"
After giving the order, the Second Prince looked at Li Zhu with a sneer, thinking to himself, "Let's see how long you can keep up this act. It's ridiculous that you're still pretending to be calm even in this situation!"
But several minutes passed, and the Imperial Guards remained motionless. This made the Second Prince's face turn somewhat grim. He thought they hadn't heard his orders, and he first threatened Li Zhu...
"Don't worry, they just didn't hear my order clearly. I'll give the order again, and I'll chop you into mincemeat in no time..."
