Lian Jue

Tired, tired day after day.No one knew what kind of desolation was in the heart of this seemingly normal-looking emperor.Even so, keep going.

After this major shake-up in the court, most of the deep-rooted and intertwined forces of the Ao family were eliminated, and all the gold and silver in the private treasury that was confiscated was confiscated, which made the shriveled state treasury so full for the first time in ten years.

Looking at the accounts sent up, Lian Jue couldn't help but sigh, there were more than expected, which is not something to be thankful for.It is as ironic as you want to be able to get so much money by raiding the official's mansion.

By the time Lian Jue was busy, it was already a few days later.Someone came to report that the empress was ill.

The illness came on very quickly and violently, Qing Yao was in a trance state all the time, sweat mixed with tears flowed to her temples, and then sank into the pillow.

Sitting on the head of the bed, Lian Jue took a serious look at her titular queen for the first time.I have never looked at a woman so seriously. This woman is my wife. She protects herself regardless of the danger of her life. She never betrayed her when she was in danger.

The eyebrows and eyes are slender and graceful.A head of black hair, softly scattered on the pillow.This is my wife.Lian Jue thought so.But another pair of eyes involuntarily appeared in his mind.Not so slender, with sometimes sharp and sometimes gentle light.The hair is even blacker, but not soft.And hands, and...lips...dominant and warm...

Why didn't she think of it unconsciously, Lian Jue shook her head lightly, as if this could dispel something.The woman she was facing was someone who would protect herself against all odds, how could she still think about Dongli at this moment.

When Empress Qing Yao woke up, she saw Lian Jue sitting beside her, holding a strand of her hair in her hand.Feeling hot right now.

"Your Majesty. I..."

"Don't talk, your illness is still not cured. Have a good rest?"

"En." There was a smile on Qing Yao's face.But then he remembered something again, his brows frowned even tighter, and tears almost fell down again. "Your Majesty, Qing Yao asks you one thing, to help my concubine, okay?"

"Okay, you recover from your illness first, and then we'll talk about it when you recover."

"No, Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late if I don't say anything else. In fact, my concubine has a younger sister, but she's been arrested now. Your Majesty, please save her."

Qing Yao told everything she knew, during which she shed tears many times when she said sad things.Lian Jue just comforted her in a low voice without interrupting.Some things have been buried in the bottom of my heart, and it is good to have someone to confide in, but some people don't even have this opportunity.

After all, Lian Jue didn't return to the bedroom until Qing Yao fell asleep.Along the way, Mingyue left the ground and no one cleaned up.That person, what are you doing? Holding a wine glass, drinking a pot alone, or practicing sword, like a fly?

Still, the farewells again and again, after all, this is the ending.Suddenly, a regretful mood floated in my heart, making me breathless.Someone once said that the most difficult word in the world is regret.That is the feeling that could have been obtained, but lost for some reason.It will not kill people, but it is faintly sad on cloudy days.

All the people around him were waved away.A person, stepped into the bedroom alone.It's so cold, the winter here is like a thorn, piercing the cold.However, the coldest thing is not the sky.

On the dragon bed, she took off her fur robe.He took a deep breath.

"Do you know? You can't rely on anyone, and there is no one to rely on. The huge country belongs to you, and you have nothing but this."

"All I know is that I still want to cry occasionally, and life and death are staged everywhere every day. Why, there are so many things, so many... want to make people weak..."

"Because, because people have desires, concerns, protection, and responsibilities..."

In the empty bedroom, only one person was asking and answering questions.Lonely as snow in winter.

Well.Without any warning, a pair of domineering lips pressed against her.I couldn't see the man's face clearly, but I could feel the man's frantic breath.Pulled into the darkness, unnoticed.

Violent, confused, but also gentle, reluctant... until it stopped after a long time, and the silence was restored.

"Did I tell you I was mad?"

Shaking his head.

"I'm angry, you go to see the queen. I'm angry, you never took care of me, I'm angry, you rejected me again and again, you know, no one has ever made me so angry."

Still shaking his head.

"But, I can't let it go. You know what? For the last time, I convinced myself to see you for the last time."

Lian Jue's heart just calmed down from the frenzy just now, but she heard the last sentence.

last time, eh?

In the past, the rejection again and again was to tell myself afterwards that the last time had passed.But when the real last time was in front of him, it was so heartbreaking.Because knowing that it is the last, it is even more unacceptable.

"From now on, you won't appear again, will you?"

"Yes."

"Will you not threaten me again?"

"Yes. Everything, are you satisfied?"

Hearing these words, Lian Jue felt more and more cold, the heat from the time of asking for a kiss just now turned into ice in an instant.

"Okay..." Lian Jue murmured, Dongli looked at the person in front of him without moving, and said, "It's...cold..."

This sentence instantly disintegrated all defenses.It's like drawing the bow to the full strength, but the string suddenly broke.

It's so cold, yes, the winter here is so cold.Just like last winter, we have known each other for one year, just one year.

Hug, I don't know who hugged whom first, but it was too cold, so we leaned together instinctively.

Asking, because of the cold, so I lost my mind.

Until I fell asleep with my feet up, the entanglement gave off heat.

"Is it still cold?"

"No."

"Ha ha." Dong Li laughed out loud.Laughing like never before, not ridicule, not a carefree laugh, but there is no laughing again. "My lord, if we are like this, is it a renege on our word?"

Lian Jue's cheeks were a little bloody because of the warmth, and she pulled the quilt that had been covered to her neck.

"Who knows? Isn't it the last time?" It was rare for Lian Jue to say such annoyed words, thinking of what she said to herself just now, she became more and more embarrassed.Unexpectedly, this happened to be a rare sight, and Dong Li was also moved in his heart. He sighed: "Duplicity is not a person."

He clearly knows that this person is so stubborn, why bother to be stubborn, even if there is really a curse, but that was 200 years ago.There are still ten years to solve it, so why worry about not having a chance?

When Lianjue went to court the next day, he saw a person in the hall with a smile in his eyes, and the seemingly rigid official uniform also showed a special elegance because of that person.

The idle prince who had never appeared before actually went to court.That sentence in the morning is still in my ears.

Because there is unwillingness in the heart, there is nothing wrong with giving each other one last reason.It's not a big deal to go back on your word and get fat.

The eyes of the two met, and there was a sense of relief.It's just that it would be nice not to have another suspicion, betrayal and abandonment.I stand in front of you as an upright person, but I don't want to give up easily, and please don't let me down easily.

Just as the days are falling, the first snow of this winter is falling outside.The raised snowflakes were blown into the hall like dust.The corner of Lian Jue's mouth evoked a melting smile, which disappeared in a blink of an eye.Looking at the shadow of that person, it seems that it is not so cold anymore.It's just that the burden on the shoulders is still so heavy, and it has never been light.
