Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

The people in the inner hall were silent. Ran Yu sighed and looked up to see a figure next to the bookshelf in the inner hall.

He was seen sitting on the ground, seemingly holding a portrait in his hand.

There were no lights in the inner hall. Although it was daytime, the windows were not open and the light was dim. She couldn't see his appearance clearly, but she could guess from the sound of his voice just now.

Ran Yu knew that he was very sad, but...

"Qinghe, don't go on like this, there is no resurrection after death. That girl loves you so much, and I don't want you to be so sad for her..." She stepped forward and tried to persuade.

Unexpectedly, when the person in front of her slowly turned back to look at her, the faint light poured in through the oil-paper window. When Ran Yu met his face, she was stunned for a moment, "Qinghe, you..."

The person in front of me had a haggard face, red eyes, and... a head full of white hair...

"You...your hair..." Ran Yu squatted forward in disbelief and reached out to touch his hair, which was tied up with a jade crown. The black hair on his head turned into white silk.

Yue Qinghe saw his own white hair from the few strands of hair scattered in front of his forehead. His eyes did not change at all. He stared at his mother in front of him with a cold expression, "Mother, I will bring her back soon. She Don’t wait for me.”

"What do you mean by that?" Ran Yu felt uneasy in her heart, but looking at her lost son in front of her, she felt more distressed.

Yue Qinghe put down the portrait in her hand and pushed the edict on the side to her.

Ran Yu held his breath, picked up the edict, read it, and exclaimed: "You are crazy, you actually want to abdicate and pass the throne to Prince Teng!"

"Yes, I have been crazy for a long time. From the moment I personally sent Qingchen to get married, I became crazy." His eyes fell slightly on the portrait in his arms, and he blamed himself: "If I could have been earlier Go pick her up, and she won’t have to suffer the pain of the fire at all, and she won’t be buried in the sea of ​​​​fire.”

"You...how can you take all this on yourself and torture yourself?" Ran Yu threw down the edict and reached out to stroke his white hair. His nose was sore and tears accumulated in his eyes.

He received the news of her death yesterday and locked himself in the imperial study room all night. He thought about so many things in front of her portrait that his black hair turned white.

Ran Yu knew that he liked that girl, but she never thought that his love for Yue Qingchen was so deep.

For her to give up the throne, she could give up everything...

"Mother, have you ever thought about how painful it would be for someone who is so afraid of pain when the fire burns her body? I thought about it all night and couldn't imagine how much pain she suffered before she died!" Yue! Qinghe chuckled. Every time he took a breath, he only felt the pain in his chest as if it was on fire. "Erchen is so incompetent. He promised to protect her for the rest of his life, but in the end, he pushed her out to die..."

"Qinghe, don't be like this." Ran Yu couldn't hold back anymore, hot tears overflowed from her eyes. She hugged him distressedly and comforted her: "Her death has nothing to do with you. Protect her, it's not because of you, don't think like that. This is not your fault, don't take all the fault on yourself."

Yue Qinghe picked up the edict on the ground and stuffed it into her hand. His dark eyes were full of despair, and his voice was weak and sad. "I have sealed the edict. Mother, please take it out and announce it. I can no longer continue to hold this throne." Sit down."

"Qinghe, don't be like this, Qinghe..." Ran Yu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yue Qinghe.

"Even if the second child becomes the emperor, you will still be the noble queen mother."

Ran Yu stared at his white hair and listened to his words as if she had no love in her life, "Qinghe, what do you want to do? Your mother has told you that that girl loves you deeply. If she is in Jiuquan It must be very sad to see you so defeated because of her."

"My son, I have done everything you want. You wanted me to be the prince, and I became it. You wanted me to be the emperor, and I became it. You wanted me to be Li Zhinian." My cousin is the queen, so I did the same. Now that I have fulfilled my filial piety, just... let me go and let my son be myself." Now he just wants to find Qingchen, she is alone here He must be very scared down there.

"You..." His words at this time sent chills all over Ran Yu's body, and she hurriedly grabbed his shoulders, "You can't do anything stupid, Qinghe, there are thousands of women in the world, why should you do this."

"I have told you before that I only want her."

"But you are originally brothers and sisters, so you can't be together at all."

"You can't do it while you're alive, but after you die you don't have to care about worldly views." He had already failed her once, but he couldn't let her wait down there alone for too long.

"No, no, no, it's not." Ran Yu was afraid that he would do something stupid, so she hurriedly said: "Qinghe, listen to what the Queen Mother said..."

Before Ran Yu could finish her words, Zhong Shui suddenly burst in, "Your Majesty."

In the dim light of the inner hall, when Zhong Shui saw the white hair of the person sitting on the ground, he was stunned and couldn't react for a long time.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." He stood up, igniting a glimmer of hope.

"Your Majesty, your hair..." Zhong Shui looked at the person in front of him. His hair under the jade crown was all white, and he was shocked.

"Talk about something important." Yue Qinghe didn't care at all.

He shook his head for a moment, then immediately handed over his hand and said: "My subordinates found out about the princess. The princess... gave birth to a son three months ago and fell into a coma. Her palace caught fire for no reason, and the people of Xihe Kingdom failed to save it. The princess was rescued, and the princess died like this."

I gave birth to a son three months ago, and the palace caught fire for no reason!

Yue Qinghe suddenly sneered, and cold tears fell down her pale face, "He Lanyan is so good, he dares to leave his mother and keep his son!"

Ran Yu looked at the murderous intent in his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew in her heart that with such news coming, war between the two countries would be inevitable.

But no matter what, it would be good if he regained hope of living.

Ran Yu continues to hide the secret that has been buried in his heart for more than ten years. Maybe as time goes by, he will be able to let it go.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Zhong Shui vaguely guessed something when he heard what he said.

"Let General Li come into the palace to see me. After you have had enough rest, you can continue to lead the troops." Yue Qinghe put away the abdication edict and turned around and left the inner hall.

Zhong Shui followed him and looked at the white hair under his jade crown with a complicated expression.

Ran Yu did not stay in the inner hall, but ordered the servants on the side to take good care of the emperor's dragon body at all times.

Then he left the Imperial Study Room. Let's fight. It's better than not wanting to live.

She never thought that he would risk his life for Yue Qingchen.

She only hoped that he could vent his grief through the war and get out of the shadow of losing Yue Qingshen as soon as possible.
