C15 empress anemone (1/2)
”The Emperor is the Emperor after all. If you hate me, what can I do?” Shangguan Wan's tone was sorrowful, as if she was looking down at the mortal world.
She had never asked him to believe her, because in her heart, he was just a tool. With him, she would be able to peacefully sit in the position of Empress and find the Aral Dawn Wood.
As for the others, she would help out as much as she could, helping the empress dowager cure her eye ailments. For the sake of Xuan Yue and Nanyan's peace of mind, she would act as a loving couple with him.
This was her reward for him, and she did not think that she owed him anything. As for the fact that Shangguan Wan was truly dead, she could not do anything about it.
Her words caused Nangong Yu's heart to grow cold.
In fact, as she said, some things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
He was already addicted to acting.
The room was brightly lit. Lin Zi had arranged the room in such a cozy and elegant manner that it looked like she loved it.
He had wanted to torture her tonight, to let her know what a sad end it would be to put on a green hat.
He had even thought of a way to make her sleep on the ice-cold floor for an entire night. Don't blame him for not knowing how to show mercy to the fairer sex!
But now he had changed his mind.
He smiled reluctantly, the pain in his heart undiminished.
The green hat really existed, and he couldn't do anything to her, just because he couldn't bear to.
Shangguan Wan looked up in surprise.
”Not willing... Forget it. ” He let go of her and turned around to walk towards the dragon bed. ”Return to the Phoenix Hall, you can stay with him. ”Don't let me see it.”
He couldn't bear for her to leave, so he decided to take a step back. He originally thought that there was no room for discussion on this matter, but his heart had grown big after all.
As long as she was willing to act with him in the future, there was no harm in doing anything.
Shangguan Wan said nothing, she stood up and was about to leave, but the man who hadn't sat on the dragon bed fell to the ground, his face flushed and he was panting heavily.
Shangguan Wan immediately picked up the teacup on the table and sniffed it. Indeed, the bewitching medicine must have been used by that nosy little forest.
By this time, the imperial physicians had already returned to the palace to rest. A few remained at the palace to guard the night, but the journey back and forth was very long. Far away, however, they were unable to quench their thirst.
Sacrifice? No, he was a human and he was a demon. Maybe he would be punished by the heavens.
Xuan Yue couldn't do without an emperor. With such thoughts in her mind, she hesitated.
