Everyone felt that An Minghui was punished by heaven, only An Minghui knew that this was not a punishment from heaven at all, but a predestined ending.

It will take about two months for his eyes to recover, and he doesn't think he can wait until that time.

It was clearly his own life and death, but he seemed calmer than anyone else.

"Your Majesty, are you still resting?" An Minghui sat on the bed with the fat rabbit in his arms, and turned his head to ask the emperor who had been sitting beside him for a long time without saying a word, "Your Majesty hasn't slept much these days. Take it easy, rest early today."

Lu Ting sat there and did nothing, and he couldn't do anything. He just stared blankly at An Minghui, seeing that the other person's face seemed to be a little rosy by the warm yellow candlelight, and he stroked An Minghui peacefully. with a rabbit in his arms.

The two flowers from that pot of grass were made into medicine for An Minghui to take. Although there was some improvement, there was still not much change.

An Minghui didn't get a reply, but heard the person who was sitting at the table stand up, then sat on the side of the bed, picked up the rabbit in his arms and put it in the cage on the ground.

He smiled, raised his hand and touched Lu Tingshen's face by feeling, but his eyes couldn't see the end or his movements were inaccurate. He didn't touch the cheek, but touched the man's forehead, but he touched a patch of bumpy, not yet completely Healed scars.

"What's going on here?"

That hand moved very lightly. Even though he touched the wound, Lu Ting didn't feel any pain. On the contrary, the cold temperature from his fingertips made him feel as if his heart was about to be frozen. He grabbed it with one hand and rubbed it slowly trying to warm it up.

"It's nothing, I went to the roof of the sacrifice before, and I accidentally knocked on it, so it's not a problem."

That day he went to the altar alone, which he had never been to since he ascended the throne. After offering incense, he knelt in front of the statue and kowtowed a hundred times. As if the God above couldn't hear him, he knocked his forehead until it was bloody.

During this period of time, Lu Ting couldn't sleep late at night, afraid that when he woke up again, he would see the person next to his pillow without breath.

He said dryly, "I hurt you."

From the very beginning, he shouldn't have lured this person to his side, and he shouldn't have been secretly happy when he saw that this person didn't care about the world's words like himself, and really didn't care about those things anymore.In the end, if he could endure a little more and not be so eager to attack that elder brother of the An family, he wouldn't be in the present situation where he made one wrong step and one step at a time.

"There is no such thing as anyone harming anyone. It is a blessing for me to be with His Majesty these days. If this is really destined, then no matter what Your Majesty does or does, it will not change my fate." An Ming Hui shook his head, held Lu Tingshen's hand instead, and said softly, "This is the path I chose myself, and I have no regrets now. I just hope that Your Majesty will not be worried about it."

Lu Ting thought deeply, how could he not be brooding.

He had never experienced such a feeling of fear and fear every day, but the person who terrified him every day was so calm and calm from beginning to end, so he couldn't help asking hoarsely: "It's this time, why are you still so calm? Don't you have anything to fear?"

When asked such a question, An Minghui couldn't help but fell silent. After a long time, he sighed and replied, "Of course there are."

Raising his hand to touch the corners of Lu Tingshen's eyes, which were already a little wet, he said, "The thing I fear most now is probably the parting of life and death."

He knew that his death was not real death, and he knew that when he opened his eyes again, there would be the same person waiting for him in the new world, but before the real reunion, the people who were left in the same place knew nothing about it.For them, death is really death.

Having traveled through many worlds, An Minghui never wanted to speculate on what the last world would be like after he left, and never dared to ask the person in front of him "what would happen to you if I died".

An Minghui felt a little tired, his body was getting tired more and more easily recently, maybe it was because it was almost time.

Showing a faint smile, An Minghui asked the people around him: "If you knew that I couldn't accompany you for the rest of your life, would you not want to know me anymore?"

Lu Ting could see the tiredness on his face, so he didn't turn off the lights, he turned on the bed and lay beside him, with his arms around his waist, and said firmly but with a bit of complaint: "It's absolutely impossible."

Some people, even if they know that they are like moths to a flame when they get close, they are still irresistible.

That night, Lu Ting hugged the person in his arms deeply, and babbled for a long time, and he didn't need An Minghui to reply. He just clung to the person's ear and whispered a lot in a hypnotic voice. Trivial things, just talking about it, made An Ming feel drowsy.

"If I had known this, I would not be the emperor. I would find an opportunity to go to Anjia to steal you out, and then the two of you would sneak out together and be reckless for the rest of your life."

"This is obviously stealing my brother's idea."

"From a long time ago, I thought you were suitable to be a literati. I always wanted to build a beautiful garden for you to live in, plant exotic flowers and plants in it, and then listen to you sit under the tree and play a few tunes for me, reading Listen to a few poems. The garden was built in the south of the Yangtze River, and I thought I would take you there when it was completed next year, as a gift for you."

"Your Majesty has a heart."

"You have always been daring, even the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and sometimes you have to teach me a few words when you go too far. If you change to another emperor, how many lives are not enough for you to die."

"Your Majesty forgive me."

"No, I want to punish you for your crime. You have to marry me and be my queen to atone for your crime."

"Ha ha……"

"Be my queen, okay? You don't like to make noise, so we'll do the wedding in private, don't let those annoying old things get mixed up, just you and me."

"Um……"

"You don't know, that time you wore a woman's dress to perform, even if you were wearing a veil, I recognized it at a glance. I was angry with those people for humiliating you like this, but I couldn't take my eyes off you." Yes, it took me a long time to realize that I should stand up for you."

"..."

"Brother An, I really like you very much."

"..."

"Brother An, don't go to sleep, I feel uncomfortable, you get up and talk to me, just talk for a while, stay with me for a while..."

"..."

"Okay, if you're tired, don't waste time with me. I'll warm your hands and sleep with you. Look, your hands are so cold..."

Lu Tingshen hugged An Minghui like this, feeling the body in his arms lose temperature little by little, and the warm liquid in his eye sockets couldn't stop falling down.

This night is destined not to be able to sleep.

***

When I was young, I pretended to be an innocent young man who kept a low profile, and in the process of seizing the throne, he had to show the demeanor that a prince should have. Later, he finally became an emperor, and An Minghui was in charge of him, so no one ever knew who Lu Tingshen was. What a cruel and indifferent person.

Lu Ting played with the jade seal in his hand deeply, and heard the cries and begging for mercy from outside the hall, his expression was still cold, but he was exhausted, he seemed to be chatting with Eunuch Li who was standing behind him with his head bowed: "I was originally Thinking about it, it’s not bad to try to be a good person, to be a wise king, the world is stable, the people are rich, and I have people who are happy to accompany me. But you say that this person has a good life, and he always thinks about dealing with those who are not good. You talk too much about the things you should take care of, and you can never learn to be smart if you haven't been beaten."

The ministers outside the door, those ministers who bumped into his hands recklessly that day, are being beheaded one by one—since they are going to be dealt with, it is natural to start with those who came to the door by themselves.

"It would be great if I could meet him for more than ten years at night, so that these people can first know what kind of person I am, and if he shows up later, everyone will be grateful to him."

The bloody smell outside the palace had already diffused into the palace. Eunuch Li was standing beside the emperor, smelling the disgusting smell, his voice was trembling when he spoke: "Your Majesty..."

"You don't have to be afraid. Although I don't know right from wrong, I still can't disobey his wishes, and I won't really kill all the people in this palace." Lu Ting closed his eyes deeply, and said calmly, "But as the king of a country, Yan Jiuding, then you can only make a compromise. Anyone who has talked about him badly, beheaded. If not, then reward some silver taels to find a way out."

"Those who come to me to expose others will be rewarded twice as much. I will come to interrogate them personally. If I find out that they are greedy for money, lying and making false accusations, they will be sentenced to death."

"I intend to kill all the people in the world, but I am afraid that he will be angry with me on the road to the underworld. What a pity."

Ever since he was born, Lu Tingshen has never understood soft-heartedness. He only knows that the strong are always respected in this world. Those moral rights and wrongs are the sophistry of the weak for their own benefit. How can there be any justice in the world?Whoever has a high enough status is naturally just.

"Eunuch Li, I have never believed in the word 'good'. No matter how many scriptures I have read and how much I have listened to my master's teachings, there is still no one who can convince me. In this world, I am speechless in this regard. That's right, there is only An Qing alone." When mentioning those little things before, Lu Tingshen's expression finally softened a little, with a bit of nostalgia, and the same helplessness as at that time, "He only said one sentence, let me go No words to refute."

"He said: 'So what if I want His Majesty to believe in and do good?'"

Eunuch Li was silent for a moment, glanced at the emperor who was sitting casually, whose eyes were red at some point, and said softly, "Lord An is an excellent person."

"Those who settled down will be dispatched to the frontier, and will never be allowed to return to Beijing."

Originally, Lu Tingshen wanted to execute all of them to death, but An Minghui told him that death is not a crime, so he personally met An Xiang and his wife, and went to the prison to meet Brother An.

He saw that these people looked haggard and thin, especially the fake, it was like crazy, sitting there like a wooden man, unable to give any reaction, so he changed his mind.

For humans, death is just a momentary event, even if it is tortured to death, it is meaningless.It's better to let these people live and feel guilty for a lifetime, only then can Lu Ting feel a little bit of pleasure.

He has been working non-stop, and has done almost all the things that should be done. Lu Tingshen left the palace with An Minghui's bones, and before leaving, he set a fire and burned the palace that had become an empty shell. clean.

As for who will become king in the future, how will he become king, and whether there will be chaos in the world without a king, then what does it matter to him?

Lu Tingshen didn't go too far. He only found a small village not far from the capital. Seeing the beautiful scenery in this place, he called the local funeral director and bought an ordinary joint tomb.

He didn't want to enter any imperial tomb at all, the place was too big and empty, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find the person who had gone first, so it would be better to have such a small tomb where the two of them could stay close together without worrying about separation.

Seeing that the tomb was repaired, Lu Tingshen carefully put the person in his arms into it, and carefully adjusted the cold jade in his mouth—it was a rare treasure, and holding it in his mouth could make the corpse Immortality for a hundred days.

After everything was prepared, he himself lay down in the not-so-spacious coffin, closed the lid with great difficulty, and then took out a pill from his bosom, and swallowed it without hesitation in the dark .

He had given all the money on his body to the person in charge of the funeral, and that person should come over later and cover the outside soil for him as agreed.

Then, he hugged the person beside him quietly like this, hoping that when he opened his eyes again, he would see that person still waiting for him not far away—should come, that person has always been soft-hearted, and always will come to pick him up.

Lu Ting smiled deeply, and said softly: "I am happy with you, my brother An."

The author has something to say: Lu Tingshen's work diary:

I said I like you, but you just slept and forgot to reply to me

Well, this time I'll make it up for you

——I am also happy with you

You should have said it to me yourself
