"When my father drove me out of the imperial city, he secretly summoned me. He said that my eyebrows and eyes were similar to my mother's mother, so he loved me the most."

Zhao Shi believed it, and believed that the ruthless emperor had a tender heart and gave all his love to a concubine.

He thought that his father gave him the crown prince because of his love for Concubine Baoxia. He thought that he could sit as the crown prince for a long time. In addition to his true abilities, his father's indulgence on the late Concubine Baoxia. He even thought that his father secretly summoned him to give him the emperor's personal soldiers. In addition to trusting him, he also had a preference for Concubine Baoxia...

But what is the result?

"That day I entered Qianlong Palace, and my father told me that I was not only like my mother, but also like him six."

Yes, Zhaoshi is the most like Emperor Wucheng among all the princes and princesses.

"Actually, there is no so-called preference at all. The father loves most not my mother or me. He loves most himself."

Perhaps Emperor Wucheng believed in the destiny of heaven before, but as he sat on the throne for a longer time, the more he doubted the destiny of heaven after being conceited. He began to constantly ask himself whether he could take the throne with the so-called destiny of heaven or his own ability.

Yes, the Imperial Heavenly Prison criticized Yingying to win the world, but because the former queen did not like Qin Rong, and Qin Rong "poisoned" him, he believed in the will of heaven while disgusting Qin Rong. He always felt that the Imperial Heavenly Prison had concealed something from him, perhaps the new emperor's throne was stepping on the former emperor.

Hearing this, Yingying realized why Qin Rong's expression was so unspeakable, "No..."

It turned out that Qin Rong had known that his aunt had poisoned him, and he took it all for them to take responsibility for the matter, and mistakenly made Emperor Wu Cheng think that he poisoned him.

...So that's it, so that's it.

Yingying didn't understand everything until now. No wonder Emperor Wucheng would rather go against his destiny than help him ascend the throne. He was afraid that he would die at Qin Rong's hands!

But from beginning to end, Qin Rong had never taken action against Emperor Wu Cheng.

After all, the biggest victim of this incident was Zhao Shi, because he was the tool used by Emperor Wu Cheng to save his life from beginning to end, and he worked hard for it in a sweet lie. When everything was revealed to the world, Zhao Shi would no longer have the meaning of hard work.

There is no meaning of avenging my mother, no meaning of forcing the palace to seize the throne, nor the meaning of ascending the throne to the emperor.

But did Emperor Wu Cheng have any preference for him?

Maybe there is.

Zhao Shi thought of what Emperor Wucheng said to him before: "Father told me that when I was the crown prince, I used methods to attack you for the throne and made him angry."

It’s not that he is angry that he is despicable and absurd, but that he is too useless and soft-hearted.

He still remembered a sentence he asked Emperor Wu Cheng with heart-wrenching heart: [The father thinks, are you really wrong?]

No.

"Later I realized why my father said something I wished I had never given birth to me when I asked him about this sentence. Because at that time, the father was indeed not wrong. The person who was wrong was me, and I was too soft-hearted."

"Those who accomplish great things should do whatever they want. If I am a little cruel, I will be able to take action against you. Just like Qin Rong, there will be no punishment."

"The Father is teaching me how to be a true emperor. In his eyes, every person who is superior should be so cruel."

After hearing this, Yingying felt a chill: "If you were given a chance to start over, would you do what your father said?"

Zhao Shi was silent, and after a moment, he replied firmly: "Yes."

"You won't."

Yingying saw through him at a glance, "If you really know, you wouldn't have hesitated just now."

"Even if you are forced to do so, your heart is still soft. Just like what you said before, something deep into your bones and blood cannot be changed by saying something."

"You are not suitable to be an emperor, so you will be in pain."

The candlelight swayed when the wind came in. When the candlelight was in the dim room, he covered his cheeks with his hands. He swallowed even more: "Yes, it's really painful to force yourself to become ruthless."

"Yingying, I'll tell you another secret. In fact, I didn't instruct you to instruct Concubine Shu to harm your aunt."

No matter how cruel he became, he did not change to that point. The reason why he responded was just to break the relationship with Yingying, but he didn't expect that he would hurt himself instead.

After drinking so much wine, Zhao Shi was no longer tough in his words. He twitched his nose and said aggrievedly: "You don't know how heavy the attack you attacked me when you hit me. My face hurts even more."

Yingying was stunned. In fact, when she came here and saw her aunt being safe, she vaguely had this guess. At this moment, she heard Zhao Shi say it in person, but this still gave her a considerable impact.

"Why are you so stupid!" Yingying really didn't know what to say about Zhaoshi. She had thought that he had become smarter after coming back, but now she still seems to be very stupid.

"Now you have known the whole truth. When you reach this point, you don't know what to do."

Zhao Shi said: "Originally, I was holding Empress Gu hostage to prepare for the throne. But after seeing my father and queen, I was unintentional to the throne."

Perhaps as Yingying said, he should go to a comfortable fiefdom and be a leisurely prince, but all this was destroyed by Emperor Wucheng and himself. Looking at the brothers who were still following him, Zhao Shi thought, so he simply captured Yingying and Qinrong out.

"I really didn't want to threaten Qin Rong with you. I just wanted to fight a life-and-death battle with him openly, even if I die in the end, I have no regrets." Unfortunately, even this one has lost its meaning.

He had no revenge at all, as if his appearance was redundant.

There was constant noise outside the house. On heavy snow, someone was drinking outside. It was very noisy and lively. Yingying and Zhaoshi in the house were silent. Yingying sighed softly: "Zhaoshi, stop."

She didn't want to see her stupid friend pushing herself to death.

bite--

As this sentence fell, Yingying suddenly remembered the system's prompt sound in her mind:

[Gu Manru's line completion has been completed and the task has been completed.]

[Congratulations to the host, successfully collecting the second soul fragment - Reversal!]

Yingying was confused by the sudden explosion of the system, and then she soon realized that the final condition for Gu Manru's mission was... Emperor Wucheng died.

Dong, Dong--

A bell ringing came from the imperial city. Zhao Shi heard the sound and opened his eyes widened, stumbled and pushed open the door.

Snow came all over the sky, and Yingying followed Zhao Shi and came out. She saw that the lights of thousands of families in the imperial city were extinguished, and it seemed like a dead city was becoming in the darkness.

Gu Manru was supported by Zhou Zishan and quietly counted the endless bell. She held Zhou Zishan's hand tightly and laughed silently.

With no joy or anger in her smile, she said softly: "Chapter to the Phoenix, you can't see your father."

It’s better if you can’t see him, Emperor Wucheng is not worthy of seeing him.

Emperor Wucheng really died, and died in front of Qin Rong.

Listening to the crying in the room, he held the jade seal on the imperial edict without raising his eyelids, and ordered You Yang beside him, "Go and gather the army."

He is going to pick up his little queen back.

At this time, everyone knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Your Majesty has passed away..." Someone said so. So the plan they just made lost its meaning, and everyone was as confused as a homeless child.

Zhao Shi staggered and could not stand any longer. His clothes were covered with snow, and he was barely supported by Yingying before he did not fall down.

Yingying did not sympathize with Emperor Wucheng, but was more sad for Zhao Shi. Just as she didn't know what to say, Zhao Shi suddenly turned around and hugged her. His tall figure completely held Yingying in his arms, and when she buried her head, Yingying felt something cold slid down her neck.

"Zhaoshi..." Yingying was panicked.

Zhao Shi closed his eyes and murmured to her: "I'm so tired."

He was too tired, and the death of Emperor Wucheng extinguished the last bit of light in his heart. Zhao Shi no longer wanted to take revenge and was tired of the royal struggle. He was tired, really tired.

But if he leaves at this time, what should these brothers who follow him do?

A fire broke out not far away, and someone screamed in surprise: "The people from the imperial city are attacking!"

Yingying received a prompt from the system and learned that Qin Rong was here in person. She felt so sad and pushed Zhao Shi, "You go quickly, don't come back after leaving!"

As long as Zhao Shi is willing to stop, Yingying can help him settle the chaos behind him.
Chapter completed!
