After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Most emperors issued "Edicts of Confession of Sins" in order to appease the people, review their own mistakes and adjust policies in order to maintain their rule.

He really wanted to abdicate.

Xie Tan didn't know how long he had been sitting at the table. His eyes were red, he looked haggard, and his teeth were aching from clenching their teeth. Song Nihuan's sudden departure was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the monk who had come from afar.

"Your Highness." Xie Tan said.

He also called him His Highness.

How could Xie Tan not know what Xiao Xuan had done behind his back all these years?

At that time, he had just ascended the throne and had a bad reputation for usurping the throne. It was Xiao Xuan who mobilized his secret channels to sing praises of his virtue and bravery to people of high aspirations all over the world.

Among the aspiring people in the world, there are many who practice the way of emperor, all for the purpose of finding a wise monarch to assist them. When the crown prince, who was the eldest son of the emperor, ascended the throne, he had an orthodox status and was a kind person, which attracted many talented people who were hidden in the world to approach him.

Xiao Xuan generously allocated his resources to him.

Xie Tan always wanted to ask why.

But now, all he could say was "I'm sorry."

I am sorry for my brother's favor and appreciation.

Xie Tan was silent, raised his eyes, and said: "She is dead. Brother will definitely understand me."

He had been patient and restrained. To this day, he still couldn't believe why she would leave him on such a day, the day when she said she was willing to marry him.

It was his fault that his useless mercy allowed those remnants to go unpunished.

The edge of her green blade was curled, which showed how fiercely she was resisting or trying to survive.

It was his fault, thinking that everything would be fine if he taught her that little bit of Kung Fu. In fact, there were more terrifying enemies that she could not resist alone.

She died because of his momentary lapse of judgment.

Just like many years ago, his momentary lapse of judgment caused him to waste ten years with her.

Xie Tan closed his eyes in pain.

Only then did Xiao Xuan see that there were several imperial edicts on the large table. He picked them up and wrote, "Every time I think about it, it's like walking on thin ice on the edge of an abyss. When my regrets are overflowing, I think of the hundreds of rivers and seas under the water..." This article was abandoned, and some were written with a few words and then disappeared. Some were incoherent. He wrote a whole article admitting his mistakes, and the last "Edict of Confession of Sins" with the imperial seal was blank.

Xie Tan exhaled and said, "I am not worthy of being an emperor."

Xiao Xuan said: "The way of a king is to be ruthless. If I can't cultivate it, can you not do it too?"

Xie Tan looked stern, not wanting to argue any further, and waved his hand, "This throne was not obtained legitimately. After the edict is issued, I ask my brother to clean up the mess."

Sitting on the supreme throne in the world, I thought that the dazzling power, fame, status, and the pleasure of holding the power over everyone's life and death were nothing but passing clouds.

From the beginning to the end, she was the only one he couldn't let go.

Seeing Xie Tan remained silent, Xiao Xuan asked, "Your Majesty, why are you so naive? If you abandon your country, do you think the world will return to the hands of my Xiao family safely? How many generals in the Northern Border Army have troops? Can they still maintain their integrity in the vortex of power?"

"You are the only one they are loyal to!" Xiao Xuan said. The founding emperor ruled the country with military merit, and the only one who could suppress those brutal generals was Xie Tan.

"If you abdicate without reason, how do you know they won't rebel in the name of restoring your country? When that happens, I will be the first one to commit suicide to prove my innocence!"

"No matter who strives for the throne, the world will inevitably fall into chaos."

Xie Tan became increasingly silent. After a while, he said calmly, "I'm sorry."

Xiao Xuan sighed deeply. He could empathize with him in this feeling of despair, but he was different from him. He couldn't escape from this position unscathed.

Xiao Xuan suddenly thought that the emperors who abdicated peacefully all regarded themselves as the Supreme Emperor, or built palaces for pleasure, but Xie Tan did not indicate where he would go after abdicating.

He asked: "After abdication, where do you want to go? How can you be self-sufficient?"

Xie Tan's eyes were clear and a smile suddenly broke out on his stern face, but he did not answer.

The smile on his face made Xiao Xuan realize that he had no intention of "doing good for himself" at all.

"Forget it, just be a tyrant." Xie Tan said.

When Song Nihuan woke up, she felt as if she was in another world.

Before she lost consciousness, she remembered that she took out the green blade in her sleeve and thrust it hard into the wall of the river so as not to be knocked unconscious by the rushing water.

The impact of the river was not small, but she was in a carriage when she fell. The carriage was broken up by the water flow, and she floated on the collapsed wooden wall of the carriage.

The wall of the car has become a wooden board.

Fortunately, the board was wide enough for her to float downstream without capsizing.

After an unknown amount of time, she opened her eyes and saw the clouds drifting quietly in the sky. The sky was vast and boundless.

But what I think about is not freedom.

It was the tall palace, the magnificent palace gate, the dim solitary lamp, and the silver-haired young man with a warm and strong chest in the mermaid tent.

She lowered her eyes for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the palace.

In fact, she didn't know where she was now, and her clothes were torn by the rocks falling into the water. She didn't notice the many red and swollen wounds on her body.

The wound became more horrible after being soaked in the river water.

She was completely unaware and kept walking forward towards the direction where people lived.

Xie Tan... Was Xie Tan ambushed at that time? Is he okay? !

It took her a whole day to walk from the shallows to the village, and she found a family in the village to rest. The family was a widow who was alone with her son. Seeing that she was beautiful and lonely, she felt pity for her. The widow gave her her coarse cloth clothes and replaced her gorgeous clothes that were scratched by the rocks.

Before leaving, the widow smeared ashes on her face and ruffled her long hair.

Song Nihuan secretly memorized the location of the village, thinking that she would repay him in the future.

The next day, she walked into the town and looked at the still bustling streets, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Tan is the emperor. If the emperor dies, the whole country will mourn.

Apparently, he's alive.

But...Xie Tan must have thought she was dead.

She knows the pain of losing a loved one best, and still remembers the feeling of tightness in the chest and shortness of breath when she learned of Xie Yunji's death.

She couldn't bear to let Xie Tan bear it.

Song Nihuan quickened her pace. This place was not far from Yunjing, and she wanted to get back to him quickly.

If you want to walk from one town to another, it is very difficult and slow.

Song Nihuan thought, it would be nice to have a horse.

Thinking of this, she found the escort agency.

The escort agency has no shortage of escorts, but it lacks grooms to drive the horses. The grooms have a hard life, they get paid much less than the escorts, but they have to travel the same distances and experience the same thrills as the escorts.

The journey is long and the money is not earned, so the position of a groom in the escort agency is naturally very mobile.

Song Nihuan was dressed in coarse cloth and had her long hair tucked into a hat. At first glance, she looked like a handsome young man.

She found the escort agency's groom, but they ignored her because they thought such a frail young man was not capable of such a hard job.

However, her horse-controlling skills were honed using war horses, and it can be said that she reached her peak as soon as she debuted.

Song Nihuan picked a black horse, mounted it and ran back and forth. When she got off the horse, the groom's eyes lit up.

She said, "Are there any jobs going to Yunjing recently? I only want half of the reward."
