Film and TV Fans: Why did I become a subordinate of the devil?

Suddenly, a hoarse and low voice sounded.

"So that's it."

In an instant, everyone in the hall looked towards the door, only to see Tan Tai Jin, wearing black and gold imperial robes, walking in slowly.

"If it weren't for you, Tan Tai Ming Lang wouldn't have been able to capture the capital so easily. I thought it was Tan Tai Ming Lang's brilliant plan that led to everything that happened later."

"You wanted to help Tan Tai Ming Lang, but you hastened his death. From then on, the only bloodline of your savior disappeared from the world, leading to your current situation."

The man's face turned pale and he was filled with remorse. When he heard Tan Tai Jin's words that touched his heart, he interrupted him immediately.

"You're talking nonsense! It's not me...it's obviously you!" He raised his finger and pointed at Tan Tai Jin, his eyes moist and red, and it was obvious that he was very irritated.

The man staggered and fell to the ground, muttering madly.

"It was you and Concubine Rou who killed the late queen...hahaha."

With a painful smile on his face and his spirit on the verge of collapse, Tan Tai Jin looked at him sideways with a flat tone.

"The late emperor said the death of the late queen was an accident. Tell me, what should I do now?"

Tan Tai Jin looked around and took a few steps.

"I don't like this world, but Ah He loves this world. She wants to give love to widows, children, and refugees."

"So, I also want to try to love this world like she does." Tears welled up in his eyes, his head tilted and his eyes were dazed.

"But now, I find that she was just caring about me as a stranger and does not love me. My heart is very painful and unwilling." He stretched out his hand and looked at the lines on the palm of his hand, with an incomprehensible light flashing in his eyes.

"I want to hate all this, but Ah He will be unhappy." He said with a sigh.

"Since you are a citizen of Jing Country, I will let you know what it feels like to betray your country."

Ye Qingyu on the side looked at Tan Tai Jin in surprise. Two shadow guards stepped forward, held down the man's arms, and dragged him out.

The hall fell completely silent. Tan Tai Jin raised his head, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Dungeon————————————————

The man was dragged to the cell. As the cell door was locked, the man's collapsing mind came to light. He crawled to the cell door, grabbed it and shouted.

"Let me out! Let me out! Let me out--!"

His voice was hoarse and no one even looked at him. He knew that he would spend the rest of his life in this cell until he died of old age.

Main Hall————————————————

Tan Tai Jin was dozing off while leaning against the table. In a trance, he heard the voice in his dream say.

"Oh, this is working well now, keep it up, that's the only way to get her sympathy."

'The expression must be pale and weak, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.'

Tan Tai Jin was annoyed by these words and interrupted the voice.

"I know my limits."

The voice thought he was getting carried away and that it would be a shame if he didn't listen to him.

"What sense of propriety do you have? You never stop reviewing memorials. With this attitude, when will you be better than Ji Ye?"

It's fine if you don't say it, but you'll get angry when you say it.

"Ha..." sneered.

'Why are you laughing like that? Are you laughing at what I said?'

Tan Tai Jin's expression suddenly became serious.

"What do you want to do by coming to me?"

The voice stopped and became intermittent.

"Yeah... I should have... disappeared..."

The voice gradually faded away. Tan Tai Jin wanted to catch it, but he couldn't. A trace of consciousness was invisible and traceless. Once it disappeared, it was gone completely. He realized this and his tone was a little anxious.

"Don't go! Don't go, don't go, come back!"

late at night--

The quiet palace ushered in the quietest time of the day, and the palace maids walked slowly through the palace corridor carrying lanterns.

At this moment in the cell, the man was lying on the hay with a gloomy face, muttering to himself over and over again.

My Queen, why did such a good person like you die?

Why do you want to die for the tyrant Tan Tai Wu Ji?

It was obviously Tan Tai Jin whom I wanted to kill. If you die, your son will be at the mercy of others and won't be treated well at all!

Tan Tai Wuji doesn't feel any guilt towards you at all, and even protects the murderer.

He heard footsteps and looked up. It was the soldier who brought him food. He lay there without moving. He waited until the man walked away before he got up and walked to the prison door to look at the food.

A bowl of white porridge and a steamed bun, the meal looked pretty good. The man picked up the steamed bun and ate it, then picked up the bowl and drank the porridge in one gulp, wiped the rice grains stuck to the corners of his mouth, and sat on the hay to eat the steamed bun.

This is the end of his life. He originally thought that Tan Tai Jin would kill him to silence him for his mother, but he didn't expect that he didn't kill him. Instead, he locked him up here and delivered meals to him on time every day.

He couldn't guess what Tan Tai Jin wanted to do, nor did he want to guess. Anyway, there was nothing wrong with staying here. Apart from the lack of sunlight and the fact that it was a little dark and damp, meals were delivered on time every day. It was already better than being outside.

Refugees often went hungry and had no food to eat, and ordinary people couldn't afford white flour buns, so he still made a profit.

Er Baiyu had just finished leading his men to inspect the palace. As soon as he got off work and returned home, he saw Ye Qingyu standing by the palace road. He thought he wanted to talk to him about something.

As he walked over, Ye Qingyu looked up at him.

"Captain Twenty, thank you for burying my father and brother."

"Your father and brother sacrificed their lives to protect the people of this area. Their heroic deeds are truly admirable."

After expressing his gratitude, Ye Qingyu began to ask about Tan Tai Jin.

"How is the situation over there, Your Majesty?"

Er Baiyu answered straightforwardly.

"His Majesty went to the royal mausoleum early this morning, and he has promised to bury your sister with noble rites in a few days."

Ye Qingyu was aware of what his second sister had done, and felt that His Majesty's decision to allow her to be buried with noble rites was not in line with His Majesty's vindictive style.

"In a few days..." I pondered what Your Majesty meant.

"What's wrong?" Er Baiyu asked in confusion.

Ye Qingyu shook his head.

"It's okay. I hope Your Majesty won't break his promise." After saying this, Ye Qingyu shut up and didn't want to say anything more.

Er Baiyu did not continue to ask, but talked about the ministers in the court.

"The ministers in the court were originally worried that Your Majesty would abandon the country for love, but now they are relieved."

"General Ye, to be honest, if possible, I hope that His Majesty will no longer be His Majesty. Only in this way can he leave this sad place."

Ye Qingyu's eyes were complicated: "A sad place..."

Er Baiyu didn't hear his whisper and continued.

"Yes, the queen is here. When they meet, he will remember that his love is unrequited and the queen does not love him."

"Yes, a person who loves someone is right in front of him, but the person doesn't love him. He can only suffer pain and heartache every day. Every flower, leaf, grass, and tree he looks at are like demons in his heart constantly reminding him of the fact that he is not loved, cutting into his heart one by one."

Ye Qingyu felt that what Er Baiyu said made sense, fortunately Pianran loved him.

"General Ye, I know you have lost your beloved family. This period of time will be very difficult for both you and His Majesty."

Main Hall————————————————

Tan Tai Jin leaned back in the water coffin, staring at the empty space ahead, muttering to himself.

"You promised me that you would take me home with you."

"I am the only one here now. I will go back with you. You will take me to see the Weak Water Lake and the cliffs you have seen before. We will never be separated again. You belong only to me, and I belong only to you."

"Things may change, but determination never changes. This time we will keep our promise together, and you will be mine forever."

"Ah He, let's go home together."

He raised his hand and knocked over the candlestick. The candle fell to the ground and quickly ignited the surrounding floor and curtains.

Tan Tai Jin leaned calmly against the wall of the water coffin, watching the flames burn around the coffin little by little and surround himself. He slowly closed his eyes and lay down, allowing the flames to approach him.

The fire in the hall gradually expanded, alarming the people outside.

"It's on fire! Put out the fire—"

The first person who discovered it called out loudly, and then a group of people came running over in a hurry.

"The fire is burning! Put out the fire—put out the fire—!"

Everyone present at the time, including palace maids, eunuchs, and patrolling soldiers, rushed to fetch water.

"Hurry! Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"

They all carried basins and buckets of water and ran quickly towards the main hall, shouting to put out the fire quickly.

"Quick! Quick!"

The soldiers urged the staff to put out the fire faster.
