Prosperity Demon Wind

No.20 six days.

Ice Palace.

East Palace.

You sat quietly waiting for Xuanyuan Zhu, with a face as cold as ice.

In the tea house in Fengcheng, Bai Lan gave you a note that read: Destroy the Xuanyuan Clan.

"I didn't expect that Bailan would also want to destroy the Xuanyuan clan. Why?" You thought to yourself, you don't know why Bailan wanted to eliminate the Xuanyuan clan overnight. Could it be because of the imminent marriage between Xuecheng and Bingling Kingdom?

Xuanyuanzhu came in a short while, seeing that you didn't smile much, he guessed that there would be no good things coming this time.

Seeing him coming, you were stunned for a moment, and then called out, "Second brother."

"Second brother? You shouldn't call me that." Xuanyuan Zhu said with a cold face, since you are not of the Xuanyuan family blood, there is no need to call him second brother.

"Okay, Your Highness the Crown Prince." You smiled lightly, but your eyes were filled with sadness.

Xuanyuan Zhu asked, "What did you come to see me for?"

You poured a glass of wine with a smile and drank it, with a look of embarrassment on your face, and then slowly said: "I want to chat with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xuanyuan Zhu sneered: "What can I talk to you about? Shouldn't you talk to Xuanyuan Zhe?"

"Third brother, third brother can't say anything about this kind of thing." Your face became awkward, and your tone weakened a little.

Xuanyuan Zhu frowned, and then asked: "You will marry to Xuecheng in a few days. No matter how you treated the Xuanyuan clan in the past, this marriage will contribute to strengthening the Xuanyuan clan."

You smiled faintly: "It's nothing to have received the favor of the Xuanyuan clan for thousands of years. Besides, Qingcheng has treated me very well, and it's not a grievance for me to marry him."

Xuanyuanzhu thought again that you were just a killer who was bought back by the Bingdi with money.It's not a bad thing to be able to marry into the imperial city and be prosperous and rich.

When you see that he doesn't speak, you know that Xuanyuanzhu is thinking about your background again.

You couldn't help but smiled, then poured a glass of wine for Xuanyuanzhu, and said with a smile: "A killer like me is ruthless, isn't he worthy of someone like Gu Moyun?"

When Xuanyuan Zhu heard you mention Gu Moyun, he couldn't help but frowned, what did you mention him for?

You poured yourself a glass of wine, drank it again, and said sadly: "Second brother, Gu Moyun is just as cold as you, no matter how much other people think about him, he won't take it seriously. Are you in your heart? Always only yourself? Or, power position, huh, men seem to love this by nature."

Xuanyuanzhu couldn't guess what you were going to say, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. Xuanyuanzhao said that you are definitely not a kind person, and you are not simple.

You frowned, seeing that Xuanyuanzhu had been silent, then smiled and said: "Maybe I have found the wrong person, why is the second brother interested in the relationship between these young children, I should find the third brother."

Xuanyuan Zhu said lightly, "I don't understand love."

You nodded, and then asked: "Second brother, one day you will become the throne, what will happen to the eldest brother and the third brother? And the fifth brother. Will you kill them all?"

Xuanyuan Zhu frowned fiercely, why did you ask this suddenly?

You said again: "Since ancient times, there have been many emperors who have been ruthless. The elder brother has competed with you for the crown prince for thousands of years, and the third and fifth younger brothers have all helped the elder brother. Have you hated them for a long time?"

Xuanyuanzhu asked: "Father asked you to ask me?"

You smiled when you heard the words, and you were really sensitive and suspicious.Then he said: "No, I asked it myself. I just don't know what will happen to a person as handsome as the third brother. After I get married, I can no longer interfere with the affairs of the imperial city, and I can't help the third brother. I can make my father be merciful, and I can never do it again."

Xuanyuan Zhu frowned, took a drink from the wine glass, and said, "Ji Yan, you always help them, but you never help your second brother and me."

You were stunned for a moment, and then said: "Do I have a choice who I help? I just do things with money."

Xuanyuanzhu felt sad when he heard it, meaning, does the Ice Emperor not want him to succeed him?He has worked so hard for so long, why is the Ice Empress still so dissatisfied with him?

Xuanyuan Zhu took the jug, poured another glass of wine and drank it, and then said: "It won't be long before I can be the master, and I won't be pushed out everywhere again."

You smiled and said: "Naturally, you have Yi Xianfu and Long Haotian, but your elder brother only has a queen mother, how can you compare with you. It will only be a matter of time before you ascend to the position of Nine Heavens Ice Emperor."

"Mmm." Xuanyuanzhu just said a simple word.

"Second brother, it's getting late, go to bed early, I'm going back to the palace first." You got up, and then looked at Xuanyuan Zhu again with a solemn expression.

"Go to bed early." Xuanyuan Zhu sat looking at you without moving.

You seemed to be controlling your emotions. Just as you were about to leave, you picked up the jug on the table and said to Xuanyuanzhu: "You may not see it when you become emperor in the future. Second brother, no matter what, you sincerely congratulate you I can get what I want. Thank you for your care for thousands of years. I hope you will love the people and be a good emperor after becoming emperor. I respect you."

Then you poured the wine on your back, drank it freely, then handed it to Xuanyuan Zhu, and said with a smile: "After all, I'm just a man in the rivers and lakes, and I hope that the second brother will not dislike my way of toasting."

Xuanyuan Zhu was slightly moved, then he got up and brought over the jug, and drank the half jug like you on his back.You couldn't bear it on your face, watching him finish drinking, and then a tear slipped from the corner of your eye.

"Second brother, take care." The last impression you left on Xuanyuanzhu was sadness.

Looking at your leaving figure, Xuanyuan Zhu seemed to have a slight change in expression, but it was hard to detect.

Showa Hall.

As soon as you entered the palace, you saw Xuanyuanzhe's sad face, and you couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Third Brother." Your voice trembled a little, and you held the pot of wine tightly in your hand.

Xuanyuan Zhe saw that you came with a flagon, so he smiled and got up and pulled you to a seat.He asked with a smile, "It's so late and you still don't sleep?"

You shook your head and just said: "The third brother didn't sleep too? I want to talk to the third brother."

"Okay, third brother also wants to talk to you." Xuanyuanzhe took the jug in your hand and asked with a smile: "What kind of wine is it?"

"Pear Blossom Stuffed." You smiled lightly.

"Oh, pear blossoms." Xuanyuanzhe recalled the day when we first met, you rode past him, and a bunch of pear blossoms happened to fall into his hand.

You carefully looked at his eyebrows and eyes and the white hair mixed with black hair, and asked, "Why are there so many wrinkles and white hair?"

Xuanyuan Zhe smiled lightly: "I love you so much, and you are so sad."

"Haha, you're kidding me, when did the third brother have a crush? Why didn't you tell me?" You poured two glasses of wine and handed them to Xuanyuan Zhe.

Just as you were about to drink, Xuanyuan Qi quickly pressed your hand, with a gentle expression on his face: "Listen to what the third brother has to say first, to relieve boredom, if you drink too much, you won't be able to hear what the third brother said."

"...Okay." You were startled, and then looked at Xuanyuanzhe seriously.

Xuanyuan Zhe looked at you, and then asked unexpectedly: "Ayan, you killed your mother, concubine, and uncle, did you feel any distress in your heart? Or, are they just pawns to you?"

Perhaps after today, Xuanyuanzhe would never have the chance to hear the truth again, so he decided to tell Xuanyuanzhe the truth.

You said solemnly: "Second elder brother will use all means to win over Yi Xianfu and Long Haotian for the sake of the throne, and the emperor knows about it. I have been dealing with Long Haotian and Yi Xianfu since I returned to the palace, and it was also ordered by my father. , but he is not suitable to be an emperor. It is not his turn. Looking around, you are the only one. Emperors have been the most ruthless since ancient times. Third brother, how can your indecisive temperament beat second brother? I just want to make you cold No matter what, at least you can protect yourself. Being in the royal family, you should understand. As for Concubine Lou, ah, I can only say that everything is God's will. If Bai Mu is not from Fengcheng, Gongye Chengqian has no intention of treason, How did Concubine Lou Gui die? Lou Yuecheng is an imperial envoy. You see, it’s just a green hat, Xuanyuanzhao doesn’t miss old love, and the whole Bai family is implicated.

Xuanyuanzhe looked at you for a long time without saying a word, only the wry smile on the corner of his mouth was distinct, after a long time he smiled and said: "Ayan, are you really willing to marry into Xuecheng?"

You smiled lightly, and then said: "It doesn't matter if you are sincere or not, they are just pawns, I can't make the decision."

Xuanyuanzhe smiled absently, and then said: "Ayan, you can run away, can't you? The life and death of the Xuanyuan clan has nothing to do with you, you don't have to bury yourself."

When you lost your mind for a moment, Xuanyuanzhe really cared about you, you always knew it.If you are really from the Xuanyuan clan, you are very lucky to have such a third brother.

Xuanyuanzhe lowered his head and smiled, "It would be great if I were the prince of Xuecheng."

You smiled and asked, "Why?"

Xuanyuan Qi raised his head and smiled, as gentle as water: "In that case, Ayan may have a choice in marriage, and third brother can take care of you."

The smile on your face froze, before you could react, Xuanyuan Zhe rushed over to hug you, and said softly: "Let Third Brother hug you again, Ayan."

"Third brother..." You feel uneasy in your heart, does Xuanyuanzhe like you?Why didn't you find out.

Tears fell from the corners of Xuanyuanzhe's eyes, and then he said: "Ayan is too pitiful, so do you know better about yourself in the future? Third brother will not be able to protect you in the future, Ayan, don't let people bully you. Always be lively and cute, always Domineering as before, do you know how to be a proud little princess? Just treat you like the third brother and still dote on you."

"Third brother..." You hugged him tightly, weeping uncontrollably.

Xuanyuan Zhe wiped away tears for you, then picked up the jug and opened the lid to drink it vigorously, you quickly reached out to snatch it: "Third Brother, don't drink it! Don't drink it!"

Xuanyuanzhe had already drank most of it, dropped the jug, and said with a gentle smile: "I only hate that I am not as confident and warm as Bai Lan, and I also hate that I am not as smart as Gu Moyun, nor am I the one who has the power of allure. Appearance. I’m just Xuanyuan Zhe, with a humble status. I dare not even say that I like you, and I can’t even protect you. If there is an afterlife, I hope to meet Ayan in her best years. Head, why does it seem to be white. How are you?"

You covered your mouth and wept silently, Xuanyuanzhe knew from the very beginning that you brought poisoned wine, if he didn't know that you were just ordered by others and insisted on coming to finish him, how could he be willing to drink poisoned wine?

Xuanyuan Zhe said with a smile: "Ayan don't cry, the third brother is tired and wants to sleep, can Ayan watch the third brother sleep once?"

You trembled with your hands, unable to speak, Xuanyuan Zhe's heavy eyes gradually closed, never being able to open them again.

"Third Brother...Third Brother..." You lowered your voice as much as possible, knelt beside Xuanyuan Zhe and wept in a low voice, with pain piercing your heart.

If there is an afterlife, can all encounters be forever?Just like the girl in the red dress, she rode her horse and smiled happily, shedding sunshine in Xuanyuanzhe's heart and becoming a lifetime memory.

People live in regrets, and as time goes by, the regrets become deeper and deeper, slowly corroding the mind and obliterating the soul.
