old friends return

The two of them have come to this point after all.

Liu Qingyan's tone was flat and almost indifferent: "Your Majesty, the dungeon is very humid, you should go back to rest earlier, I hope the emperor will not worry about the felony committed by grassroots."

Liu Qingyan always turned her back to him, because she was determined not to even meet him for the last time.

Cheng Muzhi stood still.

Only the solitary back was left in his eyes. After taking off the red dress he was accustomed to wearing, his Ah Yan seemed to be as clear and bright as when he first met. Even wearing prison clothes, he couldn't hide his jade-like warmth temperament.

So Ah Yan hasn't changed, right?So what happened to those ministers who had written a book all day long and forced him to execute that seductive male favorite of the first emperor who was a disaster for the country?

That male favorite is definitely not Ah Yan... His Ah Yan... is obviously... so good, why should he be executed?

"Ayan...it didn't come to this...why are you being so cruel to yourself!" Cheng Muzhi felt very bitter in his heart, even if he knew the whole story, he still wanted to hear Liu Qingyan say it again , as if listening to it again, you can cut off all your thoughts.

"Your Majesty, why are you bothering? Since you still want to hear, Caomin will tell you again..." Liu Qingyan finally turned around, his eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Oh, isn't it the body that is about to die...

"Back then, the late emperor was so stupid that he wiped out all the loyal officials of my Liu family. My Liu family has been officials for three generations, and the ancestors have upheld honesty and integrity for generations. He listened to the eunuch's one-sided words and ordered my Liu family to be executed in the name of corruption and bribery. How could I not hate it?"

"There is no one in the civil and military courts to speak for my Liu family. A group of ministers only care about protecting themselves. How can I not hate? But back then, I was unable to avenge my family, so I could only escape from the house by myself, and finally avenged my family in this way. How can I not hate?"

The emotions that seemed to be suppressed all day were finally vented, his tone was still calm, but when he reacted again, his face was already covered with tears.

"And since I chose to take revenge in this way back then, I could only be crueler to myself than anyone else."

"Mu Zhi..." Liu Qingyan called him in a low voice, Cheng Muzhi was almost forced to lose control by his call, his eyes were red.

"Ayan, let me bail you out, Zhen..." Liu Qingyan shook her head slightly before he finished speaking.

"Mu Zhi, I have lived 23 years in my life. It was a blessing to meet you in the early years. But then there was a change in my family. In my heart, nothing but hatred and ruthlessness, but there is still a good place on the tip of my heart, which is always there. The idea of ​​helping you sit on the throne has now come true."

"Ayan! I'll protect you, okay? I'm the emperor, and I want to protect myself. Who dares to object! Ayan, I beg you, please accept me. Stop seeking death. As if it didn't happen, I don't care, Ah Yan!"

"This world is mine now, what do I want to do, other people don't have the ability to stop me!"

Cheng Muzhi couldn't care about anything anymore, he wanted to grab Liu Qingyan through the railing of the dungeon, but he couldn't touch it anyway, Liu Qingyan didn't even let him open the lock of the dungeon, and didn't even give him a chance to hug him I didn't give it to him, and now I can't even touch it.

"Mu Zhi, you also said that you are the emperor, and you will be criticized if you want to protect me, a sinner who killed the late emperor."

"Mu Zhi, the world is not easy to come by, you don't need to cause turmoil for me, I am a sinner through the ages, you can't save me."

"Ayan! Let me open the dungeon, so I can go in and see you? Ah Yan... Please, let me go in and have a look at you... You know, I'm not afraid of being criticized!"

Cheng Muzhi was about to bury his nails into the palm of his hand. He seemed to have returned to the time when he was a child and could only cry. All his usual calmness and composure were wiped out, leaving only the impatience and hostility all over his body, but Ah Yan Did not come to coax him.

Cheng Muzhi's eyes were red, looking at the person standing in front of him but still unable to touch him, his heart was full of misery.

"Mu Zhi, you have to remember that you are the emperor first, no matter whether you are afraid of being criticized or not, everything must be in line with the people's will, let alone ignore the courtiers' remarks. An unstable court is really a very dangerous thing for you."

"Secondly, you are Ah Yan's Mu Zhi." Liu Qingyan seemed to have finally finished speaking, before Cheng Muzhi could react, he suddenly took a big step back and knelt down straight.

"I beg the emperor to give the grassroots a death penalty today, and the grassroots thank Liu Qingyan for the emperor's favor!" He bowed his head deeply, and then raised his head, there was no sadness or joy on his face.

"Your Majesty, the grass-roots people cannot escape the death penalty. Instead of being executed at the Meridian Gate in autumn, and then perhaps having to parade through the streets to be scolded by thousands of people, the Emperor might as well give the grass-roots people a good time."

And Cheng Muzhi, who somehow looked away, gave Liu Qingyan a glass of poisoned wine in a faint order.It was as if the person who was hysterical just now was not him, but the third prince who suddenly appeared ten years ago.

"Mu Zhi, with a king like you in the Great Zhou, a prosperous age is just around the corner." Liu Qingyan drank the wine and bowed again, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Mu Zhi, promise me, don't give me a posthumous title, and don't issue any decrees that will be criticized by others. This is the last thing I beg of you."

Cheng Muzhi seemed to have calmed down, but there was still blood in his eyes that would fade away in the future. He lowered his head, looked at Liu Qingyan who was still kneeling on the ground, and suddenly laughed, "Ha, hahahaha! Liu Qingyan, what is it all these years? you know me!"

"Do you have to seal this last road like this? You guessed early on that I would make you a male queen, right? You are so cruel..."

"You have been with me for so many years, I want you to have a status in an upright manner and you won't let me..."

Liu Qingyan was in a trance, and suddenly vomited blood, looked at Cheng Muzhi slowly kneeling opposite him, smiled and said to him, "Ayan, you just worshiped the sky and the earth twice, this marriage Ah, it's just the last worship, let's finish worshiping this world well..."

He looked at the disbelief in Liu Qingyan's eyes, and kowtowed deeply.

Okay, I promise you that I will not grant any posthumous titles.

But this is only before his death.

For the rest of my life, I will never have anyone else. The throne will belong to Cheng Liyin. At that time, I will let him bury us together. At that time, we will be crowned.

Dead man, people in this world can't say anything anymore, right?

There are different quilts in life, and the same point in death.

Liu Qingyan looked at him and smiled.

People die like lights go out.

"Ayan, you can copy "Jian Xun" for me, and I will leave all the milk cakes to you, okay?"

"Ayan, today my father made me kneel again, my knee hurts so much..."

"Ah Yan, when shall we go to the night market? It's so boring to stay in the East Palace all day long."

"Ayan..."

"Ayan~"

"Ah... Yan"

no more.

The author has something to say:

Enter this chapter carefully!

This is the ending I originally planned when I was writing the outline of this article. It is a tragedy. In the development of the original plot, Liu Qingyan is a worse person than he is now. He would kill anyone who stood in his way, good or bad, and only listen to Cheng Mu.

So Cheng Muzhi couldn't keep him in the end, because all of this was his own fault, and in the end he died in Cheng Muzhi's hands. Protecting Cheng Muzhi's reputation was the last thing he could do.For the rest of his life, Cheng Muzhi was lonely with guilt and longing for Liu Qingyan.

But in the actual writing process, the personalities of the two are changing, probably because they really have their own souls.

In fact, this article is really coming to an end, there may be a few extra chapters and endings, and it is expected to end next week~

Happy reading!
