C25

The night wind of the first month was cold to the bone. Even the trees that were resistant to the cold trembled from the wind.

However, on a night like this, there was someone who was not in the mood to sleep …

Standing in front of the window, Dongfang Ziqing stood there in her simple clothes. Her mind kept responding to the storyteller's words: Since it's only the shallow part of fate, how can one's feelings be deep …

"Big Brother Emperor, we …" Is it really as the storyteller said? " Dongfang Ziqing rested her chin on the window as she looked at the lonely starry sky in the sky. No matter what, she could not calm down.

Should she really marry the Emperor?

He turned around and rolled up his sleeves. Looking at the eye-catching red sand on the inner side of his elbow which represented his chastity, Dongfang Ziqing sighed softly.

If she hadn't been so agitated at that time and had instead examined herself first, perhaps the Emperor would not have said that he wanted to marry her. As for her, she didn't need to be so conflicted.

As the daughter of the Prime Minister, Dongfang Ziqing did not need to participate in the national government. However, there were many things that she knew.

For example, the Dongfang family's power was too great, almost threatening the imperial power.

For example, many people secretly called her father 9000 years old …

Would her Emperor brother care about these things? Was it also for this reason that he was willing to marry her?

Standing on top of the city gate tower, wearing fox fur coat against the wind, borrowing the weak moonlight to look at the carriage that was slowly moving along the small road. Under the wind that was blowing black hair, a pair of deep eyes were filled with pain and regret!

As the emperor, he actually wanted his most beloved woman to seduce another man. This was simply humiliating!

However, he could only watch his beloved girl leave and rush to the side of another man under the night sky!

"Damn it!" With a low curse, Xuanyuan Chen Mo punched the thick wall. No matter how much blood flowed, he was completely unaware of the pain.

He was a weak man. Not only was he unable to protect his beloved woman, he actually wanted to chase her back at such a crucial moment!

As such, all the plans had to be redeployed! However, the woman he trusted the most, besides his Little Snow, who else could it be?

"For the rivers and mountains, Xue'er …." I can only let you down!

Closing his eyes, he stopped looking at the faraway carriage. Xuanyuan Chen Mo knew that the person in the carriage was looking at him, but he did not want to. Even though he was far away and could not see her face, he could clearly feel how depressed the current Xue Er was …

But he definitely couldn't let the affairs of the country get in the way for the sake of his children's relationship!

Even if the method that he had used was low-class and despicable, as long as he could achieve results, any price would not be enough …

Dongfang Shuotian, this time's grand wedding will be the first step for me, Xuanyuan Chenmo, to regain royal authority! You just wait and use the blood of the other family to pay a tribute to the price that he paid for giving up the imperial power for all these years!

As he spoke coldly in his heart, Xuanyuan Chen Mo suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a cruel and bloodthirsty smile …

There was no dust on the snow-covered road, but it could not cover up the feelings of the people on top of the horses that had returned home like arrows.

Waving the horsewhip with force, the man with the long beard and covering his face couldn't tell how old he was. However, a pair of eyes even brighter than the stars held a light of joy. Her long hair was slightly messy, dancing in the wind. Her gown fluttered in the wind, making her seem rather thin.

From the man's clothes, it was obvious that he was in a hurry and had not changed his clothes. However, even though he looked a bit down on his luck, he still couldn't conceal his heroic spirit.

It was as if he could support the heaven and earth just by standing there. He would be absolutely formidable in this chaotic world!

"Giddy up!" The man waved the horsewhip in his hand with all his might. Hearing the horse's cries, he raised his head and looked towards a direction not too far away.

He saw a horse carriage lying in the middle of the road, and two men dressed like bandits, holding a bright knife in their hands as they approached a woman who seemed to be scared silly, yet seemed to be in despair. The stench of blood in the area was even more obvious in this cold January.

There was no need to ask. It was a robbery, and a killing and robbing.

As for that woman, she was clearly a crippled victim, a weak woman who had no ability to fight back!

"Giddy up!" Kicking the horses with both feet, the man spurred his horse to gallop towards the two bandits. With a swing, he slashed at the two bandits' necks, not even giving them a chance to retaliate.

He jumped down from the horse and walked forward. Squatting in front of the girl, he lowered his voice and asked, "Miss, are you hurt?"

She slowly raised her eyes and looked at the man with the huge beard, dressed in black. The woman retreated in terror, but she, who was in the carriage behind her, no longer had any path to retreat. Don't touch me! "

With a loud roar, the girl suddenly pulled out the hairpin and aimed it at her throat. However, the man's long sword shot out like lightning and destroyed the hairpin in her hand.

With a low sigh, the man removed the cloak on his body and handed it to the woman. He tried his best to speak in a soft voice, "They have already been knocked unconscious by me. "If you don't believe that I'm a good person, you can wait here until the officials arrive before you make your plans."

With that, the man turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute!" She held onto the cloak in her hands and supported herself up from the ground. She asked in a low voice, "You … Not with them? "

The man shook his head and laughed softly. I am Dongfang Zihan, and I am returning to the capital with an edict. If Miss doesn't want to stay here, you can follow me back to the manor first. Dongfang Zihan will ask for the official's assistance to bring you home and bury your family. "

"Are you an official?" After hearing the man's reply, the girl's eyes were filled with tears. She was so tenacious that she didn't allow tears to flow out.

"Yes." The man who called himself Dongfang Zihan turned around and looked at the girl as if giving her the last bit of time to hesitate.

"…" Gently biting her lower lip, the woman gripped her cloak tightly. After a moment of thought, she knelt down on the ground with a thump, kowtowing as she said, "My daughter Qin Xue, there is nowhere to return to now. I hope master can accept my daughter. "I will make sure to tie the knot so that we can report this matter to the lord …"

Before he could finish, the woman who called herself Qin Xue fell to the ground.

Looking at the unconscious Qin Xue on the ground, Dong Fang Zi Han's brows creased slightly, considering whether he should go up and help. If Qin Xue was allowed to stay in the snow for an entire night, even her thin and weak body would not be able to withstand the light of day.

However, if he wanted to help her, he had to carry her back to the capital. This didn't seem to make sense …

The February sky was still blue. In this late spring, the snow was still pure white, but it was no longer bone-chilling cold. Although it was late in the winter, one could still occasionally see the sun lazily climbing out, shining down on the vast land. People were still trying their best to plow the land, busily living.

Today, the second day of February, the festival of the Chinese traditional dragon's head, however, has a different significance and celebration.

Today was Xuanyuan Kingdom's Emperor Mo's grand ceremony to bestow the title of Empress, and the Empress was without a doubt the daughter of the Prime Minister — Dongfang Ziqing!
