From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

The fire was still burning.

Zhou Yuan's shadow appeared amid the flames.

Aiskar knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Zhou Yuan looked down at him and said calmly: "Organize all the people here, put out the fire and save people."

"Don't play tricks, my goal has been achieved. If anyone plays tricks again, I won't give them a chance to play any tricks. I will behead them directly."

Aiskar looked up and saw the woman with Taoism flowing all over her body on the roof, and her heart trembled.

He whispered: "I dare not, I will follow the order."

Fire? In fact, there is nothing left here.

This fire burned almost everything. The magnificent palace was left with only broken walls and ruins.

Only the broken pieces of jade on the ground proved the former glory of this place.

Guan Lu came.

With Mei Wen, Xiao Ying, and the dejected big protector.

Following behind were the fourth prince Alimu and the fifth prince Huojia, and of course, the pale-faced Sima Yi.

The inner guards stared at them, and they could do nothing.

Madam Xuesang and Ayinizi, with a group of servants, were speechless for a moment when they saw all this.

Ziya lowered her head, stepped on the ruins, and burst into tears.

"It's finally over."

Alimu sighed, tears in his eyes, and flames lingered in his eyes, which was a symbol of light.

"Traitor!"

Huojia gritted his teeth and said, "Alim, you are the eternal sinner of Yarkand. You will fall into the Nine Nether Hell and never be reborn."

Alimu said calmly: "If the Western Regions will really become better, then all the sins will be counted on me."

"I am a stupid person. I never dared to hope that my ending would be so good. I just did what I wanted to do. I will never regret it."

Huojia saw that he looked calm, and his heart became even more angry, and he cursed out all the dirty words he could think of.

Sima Yi looked at Madam Xuesang, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

Madam Xuesang walked up to him, looked at his old face, and sighed: "You are so much younger than me, but you look older than me."

Sima Yi said: "I am very tired these years. Too many big things have happened, but there is no one who knows me by my side."

Madam Xuesang said: "This is what an emperor is like. He is alone. This is your choice."

Sima Yi was silent for a moment before saying: "In any case, my life is wonderful enough. I succeeded in winning the throne, inherited the throne of Khan, unified the Western Regions, and fought a vigorous battle with the Jin Dynasty."

"I lost to a person like Zhou Yuan. It's not unfair for me to lose. I can be regarded as passively leaving my name in history."

At this point, he whispered: "It's a pity that I didn't treat you well. You gave me endless care and tenderness, taught me to be a Khan, but I gave you a miserable ten thousand years."

Madam Xuesang laughed.

It was not a relieved laugh.

Instead, it was a mocking and contemptuous laugh.

She looked at Sima Yi and said word by word: "It's a pity? It's a pity? Hahaha! That's your pity and regret! Not mine!"

"If I had a choice, I don't want to be your wife at all! I should have been your mother!"

Sima Yi's expression became stiff, with fear in his eyes.

He seemed to be afraid that Madam Xuesang would say those words, and there was even a desire in his eyes, hoping that Madam Xuesang would not say it again.

But how could Madam Xuesang bear it?

She shouted: "The Western Regions are rotten! They don't treat us women as human beings! Instead, they treat us as goods! Like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep! They can be inherited by fathers and brothers! They can be passed down from generation to generation!"

"As a stepmother, I want to marry my nephew! Be his mother and wife! What a shame!"

"I have to endure it, for the sake of the people of this land! In order to make myself feel better, I have to abandon all emotions, try my best to be virtuous, and try my best to teach you to be a good Khan."

"Your regrets and pity are my shame and nightmare!"

Sima Yi couldn't help but roared: "Don't say it anymore! Please!"

Mrs. Xuesang gritted his teeth and said: "You think I love you? In fact, I hate you to the bone!"

"You think you gave me a miserable old age? No! You gave me relief! So that I don't have to face you in my old age!"

Ainizi said: "Grandma! Your old age is not here yet! You can live a hundred years! You can see the prosperity of the Western Regions! You still have many decades to live!"

Mrs. Xuesang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

She laughed wantonly, shook her head and said with emotion: "Yes, I am in good health, I can live for decades, I have such a beautiful and excellent little Ayi, how can I bear to give up."

She looked at Sima Yi and said coldly: "Take yourRegrets go to hell! I still have a wonderful life to live in the future!"

Sima Yi did not speak, and even had no expression.

He seemed to be dead.

He lowered his head, just waiting for the arrival of fate.

Then, he suddenly raised his head and gritted his teeth and said: "I know! I know everything! I know everything you said!"

"But what can I do! I am also a pig and dog of this era! Just fatter!"

"I can't save you! I can only try to be good to you!"

"I know you don't want to hear this anymore! I only have one last word!"

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "You have your good Ayi, and I also have my good son."

"I gave birth to so many sons, but none of them are successful. They all want to be another me."

At this point, he was already in tears.

He looked at his son, the fourth son.

He said in a hoarse voice, choking: "Alim, good boy, you are the only one who doesn't want to be the father, you have been doing yourself. "

"Your choice is not wrong, you are not stupid, you are a hero, the soul of the Western Region, and your father is proud of you."

After speaking, he picked up the knife on the ground and cut his throat directly.

Blood gushed out, like a gem under the light of the fire.

Alim took a few steps forward, but finally held back.

He just looked at his father, gritting his teeth.

Ruins.

Ruins all over the ground.

The fire finally went out, leaving only darkness.

Zhou Yuan said softly: "The luxury and glory here are all burned."

"But the wind blows and the grass turns green, the Western Region will get better, and it will be soon."

Su Youzi said: "Yuan Yizi, is this the result you want?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "Destruction has never been the result I want, reconstruction is."

"Just like this dark night, darkness is not the result, welcoming the light is. "

At the end of the eastern sky, a ray of white light appeared, dawn arrived, and a new day also arrived.

Su Youzi suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, which she couldn't express, but she couldn't calm down.

She couldn't help but quietly came to Chenxi's side and whispered: "Can you, who is favored by the heaven, say a word?"

Chenxi smiled and said: "I don't know anything, but I know the light there."

Su Youzi followed her line of sight and asked in confusion: "What light?"

Chenxi tilted his head and said: "It's Chenxi!"
