”Since young, Imperial Consort Hui has been together with me and Shen Qing. It can be said that she's just like a childhood friend.” Mo Hua's voice suddenly sounded out, filled with grief and grief. ”Mufei likes her very much, and we like her as well … That period of time was truly blissful and happy. However, as everyone grew up, many things began to happen involuntarily. When my love became her burden, I simply wanted to let her free and let her truly pursue her own happiness … ”
”Could it be that I've truly done something wrong?”
Although Ye Qiongjiang could not see his expression clearly from the darkness, she could feel that his heart was in pain. ”Your thoughts may be good, but you have forgotten about Imperial Consort Hui's feelings. If you were to do this to any woman, she would feel like she was a piece of goods that you casually gave to someone else. ”
”…”
Mo Hua was silent for a moment, and said with a profound tone: ”Even though I am the emperor of Da Xia Empire, with the lives of millions of people within my grasp, but in the relationship between a man and a woman, I have never felt that I have the authority to control the other party. The love I want is never coercion or tyranny. ”
When Ye Qiongjiang heard this, she suddenly trembled. The figure standing perfectly straight in the darkness caused her to involuntarily widen her eyes.
He was the emperor, he held the power of life and death, he held the fate of a nation in his hands. No one dared to not give him what he wanted. If he fell in love with a certain woman, he would be grateful for her kindness.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that a man of the Supreme Realm would have such an idea of equality in the depths of his heart …
He thought it was due to his pride, so he never forced her …
He originally thought that because she was a ”noble person”, in order to continue the country's destiny, he had no choice but to lower himself to the ground and ignore the fact that she had other men …
The truth of the matter had actually completely negated her 'original plan'.
This man truly made her have a whole new level of respect for him.
”If …” In the midst of the silence, Ye Qiongjiang finally could not help but ask the question that had been plaguing her mind these past few days, ”If I am not a 'noble person', you … ”Will you still do this to me?”
Ye Qiongjiang was a little perturbed, but more importantly, she was conflicted. Ye Qiongjiang's hands were entwined on her sleeves, this kind of question, was really too despicable.
She didn't know what kind of feelings she was trying to express.
Was he attracted to Mo Hua?
How is this possible? She clearly loved Gu Rongzhi so much, and in her heart, there was clearly another man …
That man had endured humiliation for five years and went to the northwest alone. That man had asked her to be safe and take care of him, and had even taken the risk to retrieve the blackberry fruit for her …
How could she sink into the tenderness of another man and waver in the slightest?
Suddenly, his fingers, which had been painfully twisted, were pinched.
Ye Qiongjiang lifted her head in shock. Unknowingly, Mo Hua had already sat beside her at the edge of the bed, beside him.
The darkness could not be resisted. The man's eyes were right in front of him. His palm was warm and dry, containing a deep sense of tolerance. It was absolutely reliable.
Mo Hua held her hand and said softly, ”If you weren't a 'noble person', your life would be very peaceful and I could even let you go with Gu Rongzhi to the northwest. ”If you dare to do something as overbearing as provoking me, I will kill you without any hesitation.”
Ye Qiongjiang lowered her head and laughed sinisterly, it was indeed like that, putting aside her identity of ”noble person”, she was just a passerby.
Mo Hua continued: ”If you are not a noble, then it is impossible for me to have any contact with you. If I don't get in touch with you, I won't be able to find out about your beauty. ”
Hm? Ye Qiongjiang was startled. She raised her head to look at him, but he was holding her hands once again.
”Can I borrow your shoulder for a while?” The warm air was on her ears, tickling like a feather.
Even though Mo Hua had asked a question, he did not wait for her reply and consciously rested his head on her shoulder.
”You …” Ye Qiongjiang wanted to struggle, but sshe was stopped by him. Even through the clothes, he could still clearly feel his warmth.
”Let me lean on you for a while, I'm a bit tired.” He leaned against her shoulder, closed his eyes, and wrapped his nose with a faint fragrance that made his heart feel at ease. The grievance brought about by Imperial Consort Hui's death had even lessened.
Ye Qiongjiang's face was flushed red, and she was so nervous that she did not dare move around recklessly. There was a layer of warmth on his shoulders, and when he breathed deeply and deeply into the clothes covering her chest, a trace of breath would always enter and warm brush against her chest.
He was uneasy and anxious, and his heart clearly felt that it shouldn't be like this. He clearly should have pushed him away, but … His body, contrary to her wishes, held still as he relied on her, using her petite shoulders to support him.
No, it shouldn't be like this.
Even though the man was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, his usually tight eyebrows were open unguarded. The thick, long eyelashes cast a deep shadow over his eyes, revealing a hint of frailty that was hard to see.
She was Ye Qiongjiang, Xin Su's death knight, the Southern, and even Gu Rongzhi's wife! What she should do now was to immediately chop off the head of the emperor!
What a rare opportunity!
