"Before, you were so sad that you committed suicide in order to enter the palace. I thought I would lose you, so I blamed myself for a long time. I didn't feel relieved until I saw you come back to life. "

"So what?"

The smile on Tao Su Su's face gradually turned cold, "for the sake of great cause, what is small love? When you ascend the throne, you will marry Xie Zhi, and take her as your wife, right?"

Yan Qi looks embarrassed and looks at the woman in front of her silently. She has changed. Maybe he has never really understood her.

"Is it?"

Tao Su Su half depends on the bedside fence, I don't know whether it's happy or sad, "you men, always use such an excuse to cheat people who really love you. I don't know how to cherish it when I get it. I regret when I lose it. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous

"Yes

After settling down, Yanqi said, "I was responsible for you before, but I will fulfill my promise and oath. Now, it's you who don't cooperate! "

"Cooperation? How to cooperate? Do you want to come and go at your beck and call? When your great cause is not completed, I will pave the way for you. When your great cause is completed, shouldn't my little stepping stone retire quietly? " Tao Su closed her eyes with self mockery, "Yanqi, it was you who took Xie Zhi, and forced her to death for your great cause. Now, why do you force yourself to play this big play full of loopholes? "

"Do you hate me so much?"

This is the first time after Qin Buzhou's death that Yanqi used the word "I" to describe himself. He gazed at Tao Susu with a soft, feathery look and asked, "hate me for forcing you into the palace, hate me for wronging you for the great cause, and hate that I didn't leave you around..."

"Zhi'er, you hate me in your heart, which means you still love me..."

Love?

Perhaps, if Xie Zhi is alive, she will be deceived by your sweet words and confused by your sugar coated bullets, so as to forgive you, accept you, and even be willing to abandon everything to marry you.

But now the owner of the body is Tao Su Su.

The person she loves deeply is the emperor of Huiyuan state, Qin Buzhou.

It's not the man in front of us who is so hypocritical and disgusting, or the man who has framed himself countless times and tried to use her to frame Qin Buzhou.

For Yanqi's self talk, Tao Su has been too lazy to pay attention to, just closed his eyes, pretending to know nothing.

In the face of a diseased child who has lost the beautiful essence that a woman should have, Yanqi doesn't mind. She reaches out her hand to touch the blood white rough face and says madly, "don't worry, I will marry you! After the ceremony, I'll make you queen and take charge of all the affairs of the harem for me... "

"Yanqi, Xie Zhi is dead. No matter how you play, she can't see it."

Tao Su Su interrupted his reverie, opened his eyes, eyes compassion, "when she was there, you don't know how to cherish, now everything no longer exists. Yanqi, no matter how much you say, it's useless. Love and don't love, already clear, why do you insist so! "

"I don't believe it!"

Yan Qi knocked on her thin and fragile shoulder again and said angrily, "I don't believe the woman who once loved me so much, but now she wants to be in front of me. She would rather die for other men than be my queen!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha..."

Seems to have heard the world's funniest joke, Tao Su Su first sneered a few times, and then more than laughing, laughing to tears are flowing out, "Yanqi, I only ask you a word, you say you love me, can you give up the throne for me?"

"Are you crazy?"

He worked hard to plan for such a long time, and finally got what he had. How could he give up.

"No, crazy people, you've always been greedy people!" Tao Su wiped the smile and tears from the corner of his eyes, "didn't you ask me what I want? Maybe, you can't give up the emperors. Can you give up the harem three thousand for me? "

This is really much easier than giving up the throne, but Yanqi hesitated, looked away, and asked in a deep voice, "Qin Buzhou, can he do it? You love him so much that you are willing to live for him and die for him. Can he give up the throne for you and give up the harem for you? "

Without hesitation, Tao Suli replied, "I don't know."

"You don't know?"

Yan Qi was surprised. He thought Qin Buzhou could do it. The woman in front of him would ask, but she said she didn't know.

He frowned and asked, "since you don't know if he can do it, why do you have to let me do it?"

"I didn't force anyone, and I didn't want to force anyone." Tao Su smile, eyes indifferent, "if someone really loves me, he will understand, I don't need to say. If he doesn't know that he doesn't love me enough, then I don't have to say"Power, fame, money and profit are all passed by. Life does not bring them, death does not bring them."

"I don't want to be the queen of anyone. I just want to be a couple all my life, helping each other, and working hand in hand until I grow old."

"Don't talk about others, Yanqi, I only ask you, will you marry me in this life?"

……

Since then, countless nights, Yanqi's ears will echo that sentence——

A couple for life, would you like to marry me only

He would often fall into deep thinking, thinking about the feasibility of this matter, thinking of the end, sleep all night, can not think of the results.

He can't understand Xie Zhi's unique idea of being too unconventional, or how, as a weak woman, she can want to monopolize a man's time, energy and love

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it any more.

It is also from that day after asking questions, Yan Qi, in the gap period of reading memorials at night, occasionally habitually looks up at the Dragon couch covered by gauze curtain. She can often imagine a touch of irony and smile in the corner of her mouth when she can't get a response that day.

Every time he thought of it, he was upset and violent.

No longer able to get along with her peacefully, the woman who was easily abandoned by him, the woman who had committed suicide for him, finally let him understand that her love for him had already disappeared, leaving nothing.

Finally, he had to send her away and let her live in tengge palace again, out of sight and out of mind.

As time goes by, the chill of winter becomes more and more obvious. The atmosphere in the imperial city is solemn. The maids' faces are numb and sad. Only a few people who have gained the power turn over and become the master depending on their master's favor.

In addition to the increasingly cold weather, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, family reunion on New Year's Eve.

According to the usual practice in previous years, the banquet is still very lively.

The bright and gorgeous glass lamps light up the whole palace, and the main road of the palace city is also full of bright red lanterns. Large areas of high walls are pressed down in the night fire, forming a dark and silent shadow.

Tengge palace is quiet and cold.

Sitting in the courtyard, Tao Su Su is half lying on a bamboo rocking chair, covered with a thick fine cashmere blanket. She silently looks at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky and rises up again and again.

It was nearly midnight, when the old and the new changed, the sound of firecrackers in the whole city was extremely loud.

The clock is leaking and ticking. Midnight has arrived and the new year is coming.

"Cough..."

Tao Su Su's throat itched and coughed a few times. He turned his head and looked not far away. He was carrying a bowl of steaming dumplings. Su Yan, who was walking slowly, said, "slow down, don't burn your hands."
