Tianlang Dikun's 28th winter

King Ye arrived in the south and lived in the capital of the southeast. He was warmly welcomed by the people in the south.Tianlang's New Deal has been guaranteed, farming is stable, commerce and trade are developing, and the main force of the Yinzi Army is at the beginning of the 29th year, sweeping away the unequal forces and unifying the southern provinces.

At the same time, King Xuan in the capital officially announced the edict of Emperor Dikun's abdication. As the new emperor, he announced the rule of Tianlang and changed the name of the country to Jinyuan.

At that time, rumors of King Xuan's seizure of the throne spread, and officials from all provinces were quite shocked.

The south protested one after another. The southeast officials represented by Xiao Xuanji, on the grounds that King Xuan forced the palace to seize the throne, issued a call to crusade against Lang Kangzhe and restore justice to the world. For a while, the whole Tianlang aroused violent repercussions.

Because King Xuan's power has been rooted in the north for many years, the cities in the north are still firmly ruled by King Xuan.The Northwest Army, which formerly belonged to the fief of King Xuan, soon arrived at the capital and took control of the north centered on the capital.The north and the south are bounded by the Huai River, forming two independent camps, and Tianlang thus opened the famous stage of Bei Xuan and Nan Ye in history.

The winter of this year was extremely long. Due to the unrest between the north and the south, neither side dared to start a war hastily. Instead, they maintained a peaceful relationship for several months.Lang Kangzhe, who was located in the capital city, knew that Lang Yinshi was now a fierce tiger in the mountains, and if he tried to suppress him easily, it would be impossible for him to succeed.Fortunately, his foundation in the north is quite deep. As long as he has made sufficient defense and military preparations, it is not impossible to defeat Lang Yinshi on the frontal battlefield.

Throughout the winter, Lang Kangzhe was busy mobilizing troops, while diligently handling Tianlang's government affairs, while actively attacking those conservative opponents in the court.These conservative ministers discouraged his various proposals, slandered the North-South War, talked about brotherhood, and hoped to peacefully recruit King Ye.

"Tianlang has changed his order from day to day in recent years, and it has been repeated repeatedly, which has had a great impact on various places. The ministers and others implore King Xuan to peacefully recruit King Ye for the stability of the world!"

"Surrender peacefully?" Lang Kangzhe sneered at the words, old fools, if Xiao Shi could surrender, why did he go to such pains to kill him?Since he has chosen to push Lang Yinshi to a desperate situation, he firmly believes that there is no room for reconciliation between the two.Lang Kangzhe's arrogance could never tolerate Lang Yinshi, who is in full swing, dangling in front of his eyes.

He found the reason of "old age and unbearable responsibility", and sent these conservative ministers back to their hometowns to retire.

As for Lang Yinshi in the south, he fell ill just after unifying the southern provinces, and did not take any other actions for a long time.This made Lang Kangzhe breathe a sigh of relief, and he was quite happy.In the past few months, he has sent people deep into the south many times, trying to disrupt the situation there.Lang Kangzhe firmly believed that as long as he bought a few more months, he could organize a powerful army. He was very intelligent since he was a child, and he never thought that he would be inferior to his sister in battle.

Two months later, Kunning Palace in Tianlang Imperial City

The Kunning Palace used to be the place where the queen lived. Since the abolition of Lang Muwei, the Kunning Palace has been idle.

At this moment, the gate of Kunning Palace is closed tightly, guarded by four tall guards.A charcoal fire was burning in the stove in the hall, and there were huge bookshelves and a desk filled with picture scrolls. Dark red curtains hung from the ceiling, covering layers of cover. It added a bit of warmth, and there was a layer of fresh ink fragrance floating in the air, and the whole palace was gloomy and cold like a cold palace that had not been inhabited for a long time.

The palace door was pushed open with a "creak", and a young maid walked in cautiously. She was wearing a blue dress and was holding a plate of hot tea.After looking around in the palace for a moment, he put down the things in his hands with peace of mind.

"Master?" the maid called softly, calling out an elegant and graceful figure.

"Qingwu?" The slender hand lifted the curtain, and a beautiful person appeared from the side hall. She had a delicate face like snow, and her red lips were like vermilion. She put down the scroll in her hand, walked around the desk and hurried out, "...Is there any news? ?” She asked a little anxiously, a pair of clear and bright eyes mixed with anticipation on her clear and beautiful face.

"...Still not." Qing Wu looked sad, shook his head, looked out the door cautiously, and led Mo Ziyou to the inner hall.

After Lang Kangzhe ascended the throne, Mo Ziyou was like a canary, imprisoned in the Kunning Palace in a gorgeous cage.She had almost no news from the outside world, and even the travel of Qingwu, Qingyong and others was strictly restricted by Lang Kangzhe, who clearly intended to draw a clear line between Mo Ziyou and the past.He personally selected the maid who served Mo Ziyou, and while taking care of her meticulously, he also closely monitored her life.If the will is weaker, I am afraid that they will not be able to stand the torture.But Mo Ziyou was born with a stubborn personality. She was well aware of Lang Kangzhe's suspicion, but stubbornly maintained her tolerance, and only let Qingwu secretly inquire about the news of the south.

"All news from the south has been blocked. I have been inquiring for a week, but I still haven't heard from the prince." Qingwu lowered her voice and reported to Mozi Youhui. "It seems that there is still no movement in the south."

Mo Ziyou heard Meimu's sorrow, "It's been almost three months, and I don't know if her condition has improved."

She seems to be sighing all the time lately.Since returning to Tianlang Capital, she has been worried about Lang Yinshi's whereabouts in the south.If he gets good news, he can rest in peace for a few days, but if he gets bad news, he won't think about eating and drinking, and his mood will be restless. He just hates being imprisoned in this capital city and can't go anywhere.

When the news came that Lang Yinshi's soldiers were trapped along the Ganjiang River, she was terrified. When she thought that she would never see Lang Yinshi again, she felt heartbroken and couldn't sleep all night.Mo Ziyou even resented himself a little, why did he drag her into this struggle in the first place?What else is more important than the safety of your sweetheart?Unknowingly, her state of mind has changed a lot, but Princess Xiling may not even understand it.

"However, master, you don't have to worry." Qingwu said empathetically, "Although the prince's condition has not been disclosed to the public, the situation in the south has been stable for a while, so it is expected that the prince will be fine. Besides, the prince has people in the southeast. Take care, unlike the master, who can only wrong herself..." Qingwu said, looking at her princess with distress.That delicate face seemed a little pale and haggard again. "Qingwu begs master, you should think more about yourself."

Mo Ziyou shook his head, "Of course I know that worrying about her won't do any real good, but how can one control a person's heart?" She sighed softly and stopped talking.

Kunning Palace in three days

The maids arranged the dishes one by one, lit the incense in a calm and concentrated manner, lowered the curtain, and quietly retreated outside the hall.

Every week during the rest, Lang Kangzhe would come to Kunning Palace to dine with Mo Ziyou.He sat in front of the red sandalwood round table carved with dragons, picked up the silver chopsticks, personally picked out the meat slices from a bronze tripod-shaped vessel, and gently placed them in the Moziyou bowl.

"Mo'er, try this piece of meat, it's the fresh venison that was hunted in Yulinyuan yesterday." While talking, he scooped out a bowl of sea cucumber soup with a gold silk spoon and placed it in front of Mo Ziyou. "If the food is not to your taste, I will ask the imperial dining room to redo it...Look at you, you have lost weight during this time." Langkang Zhe's handsome face was full of smiles, dazzling like the warm sun, and he was deeply concerned road. "I've been too busy these days, so I haven't taken good care of you. You look unhappy, but 'people are thinner than peach blossoms'."

"...The emperor imprisoned me here, and he still expects me to be happy somewhere." Mo Ziyou smiled indifferently and sneered.She was wearing a simple and elegant long skirt when she lived in seclusion, and a light and loose coat, sitting dignifiedly and quietly at the table.No powder is applied, but it does not detract from the refreshing and moving breath.

"Look at what you said, how could it be imprisonment? I'm here to protect you better." Lang Kangzhe leaned on the back of the chair with open hands, smiling, while denying repeatedly, "You also know that the situation outside is unstable now... You can stay in the palace safely, so I can rest assured." Although Mo Ziyou did not give Lang Kangzhe a good look, he did not refuse his visit, and Lang Kangzhe was quite satisfied with this.

"Really?" Mo Ziyou remained calm, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a hint of coolness in his eyes, "I am in this Kunning Palace, and I am not allowed to go out, hear any news, and have no freedom in behavior. Is this what you call protection?"

"It's all temporary, Mo'er, please bear with me for a while." Lang Kangzhe comforted with a smile, but there was no room for negotiation in his words, "I have always been responsive to your requests, but I have been busy recently and cannot tolerate mistakes. Wait for the south When the matter is over, I will apologize to you again."

Seeing that Mo Ziyou was unmoved, Lang Kangzhe softened his tone and coaxed, "After all, government affairs are a man's business." He reached out to cover Mo Ziyou's wrist which was resting on one side, and stroked it gently. "A unique beauty like you is born to be cherished, so just stay here with peace of mind, okay?"

He has no other demands on Mo Ziyou now, as long as Mo Ziyou is by his side and the two are as close as they used to be, that is enough.

Mo Ziyou's wrists were slender and bony, with the softness unique to southern women.Lang Kangzhe was tall and a man in his prime, and he was most obsessed with women's petite figures.He followed that wrist and slowly touched Mo Ziyou's arm, and he could feel the soft curve of her body and the delicate temperature of her skin through the fabric.For a moment, my heart seemed to be scratched by something, and it was numb.

Today is Xiu Mu, he has enough time.Looking at Mo Ziyou's beautiful side face, Lang Kangzhe couldn't help but be fascinated. This is the woman he has been thinking about for nine years, and now he can finally get close...

"Click", the sound of silver chopsticks hitting the dinner plate sounded, and before Lang Kangzhe could react, Mo Ziyou had already withdrawn his hand and stood up slowly.

"I'm a bit tired." Mo Ziyou said with his usual expression, neither salty nor indifferent, but his tone was uncompromising. "Let's dine with the emperor next time." Saying that, she signaled the maid to see the guests off, then turned around and went back to the inner hall.

"Mo'er." Lang Kangzhe also stood up suddenly, and Mo Ziyou's avoidance made him a little annoyed.He stepped forward, grabbed Mo Ziyou's sleeve, pulled her to his side, and asked her to look at him.

"Why?" Lang Kangzhe's long and narrow tiger eyes showed a faint hint of danger, "Since when did you and I become so unfamiliar? Even if I get close to you, you have to resist like this?" Lang Kang Zhe said displeased.

It can't be blamed for his good temper. He is now the new emperor of Tianlang, and there is no shortage of women around him. The concubines in the harem are more beautiful than each other, and they are flattering in every possible way. Only Mo Ziyou is lukewarm as always, which will inevitably cause some gaps.

"Do you know that you are no longer the icy and goddess-like princess of Xiling, you are now a wife! How much pressure and ridicule I have to endure to keep you by my side, to be Tianlang Queen! I have paid so much for you, have you ever thought about giving me something in return?"

Mo Zi was stunned for a moment, she raised her head and stared at Lang Kangzhe in astonishment, her clear eyes seemed to be filled with thoughts.After a while, she slowly revealed a complicated smile.There is both a trace of bitterness and a trace of disappointment.

Yes, this is Lang Kangzhe.

If you pay, you must get something in return, and if you don't get it, you must try your best to ask for compensation.Everything is an exchange, and he is not willing to suffer any loss.The same goes for feelings.

"Mo'er, we used to be so close, but now!, I stand in front of you, and you don't even want to take another look!" Lang Kangzhe was still angry, and his words were full of questions. "How did we get to this point? Where did I not do well? Are you worthy of my infatuation?!"

It seems that such a day has long been foreseen. There are indeed too many things that have not been clearly explained between her and Lang Kangzhe.

But when this day really came, Mo Ziyou still felt powerless for words.She was silent for a long time, thought and thought, and finally spoke.

"You're right, I really can't give you anything back. I have thought about it many times, whose fault is it that you and I have come to this day."

After regaining his composure, Mo Ziyou raised his head, stared frankly into Lang Kangzhe's eyes, and calmly stated as if he was not the person involved. "Am I ashamed of your feelings, and why can't I really like you?"

"What?!" Lang Kangzhe was stunned when he heard the words, both shocked and as if he couldn't believe it.The anxiety in his eyes was covered by astonishment. "Mo'er, after all these years, how could you not like me?! I don't believe it!"

"I did like you...or, I used to think I liked you." Mo Ziyou explained softly, this was one of the few times when she was willing to lower her profile and tell the truth to Lang Kangzhe. "You and I have known each other for so many years, we have less time to communicate, and we are closer than others. I always think that I should like you more than others."

These words greatly soothed Lang Kangzhe's heart. Mo Ziyou talked to him so gently, which made him a little happy.It seemed that the man who had suffered from self-esteem finally regained a little confidence.He calmed down and said, "Since that's the case, why do you need to say those strange words!"

"But do you know, Lang Kangzhe, I've realized more and more that we are two completely different people, and what we want is also completely different."

"You don't really need me, you just need a perfect queen and an enviable marriage. You are just pursuing a more decent feeling. And you imprisoned me in this palace not because of the so-called Your love is just because you are full of possessiveness and don't want to lose to anyone... even your own sister."

Mo Ziyou looked at Lang Kangzhe, calm and solemn, "You value everything the world gives you too much."

"When you really love someone, you will understand how happy it is to protect her freedom and happiness without selfishness... But I think you probably won't understand, because you love only yourself."

Surprisingly, Lang Kangzhe didn't make a sound. He seemed to pretend that he didn't understand, and he seemed to be trying to figure out what Mo Ziyou was saying.

He stared closely at Mo Ziyou's clear eyes, trying to see what was hidden behind those beautiful eyes.

He will never forget that he once had only himself in those eyes, and Mo Ziyou's every frown and smile was all his own.But now, the woman in front of her is still beautiful, but her mind has gone to another place completely!A place that makes Lang Kangzhe jealous, but powerless!He couldn't help hating Lang Yinshi who was far away in the south, even though Mo Ziyou was already in front of him, her shadow was still floating between them!Lang Yinshi, ah Lang Yinshi!

You are really my worst enemy, Lang Kangzhe!You should never have been allowed to come back from the border in the first place!

Lang Kangzhe frowned heavily, suppressed his anger and asked, "But Mo'er, isn't this Tianlang what you want? Isn't this world what you want? Who am I for, so at all costs?" In exchange for this beautiful country!! Mo'er, how can you be so ruthless! How can you erase everything I have in your heart so easily!"

"..."

Mozi sighed slightly when he heard the words, he hesitated to speak several times.She finally said no more, waved Lang Kangzhe's hand away, turned and left.

"I've exhausted what I want to say." Her clear and pleasant voice came lingeringly, just like in the past, flowing through my heart like spring water in the mountains, but at this moment, Lang Kangzhe felt a chill.

"Mo'er! Mo'er!" Lang Kangzhe called eagerly behind her, but Mo Ziyou didn't look back at him until his figure disappeared into the curtain.He seemed to vaguely hear such a sentence.

"What Mo Ziyou really wanted was never the world, but someone who understands me."

The author has something to say:

Sorry everyone...

The author is wrong... I shouldn't have opened and closed the draft, and it took more than a dozen times to finalize this chapter.

Do you know the feeling of opening word every day, unable to write two words, and closing it again?Just like kidney deficiency.

Especially when it comes to the emotional collision of the characters, oh my god...

Please whip me mercilessly...
