After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

"like me?"

Jiang Wanyu stared blankly at the man in front of her who had always spoken coldly to her and avoided her, and was a little confused for a moment.

How could he possibly like me? Didn't he always hate me?

"Jiang Wanyu, did you hear me? I've taken a good look at you, so can you try to accept me again?"

"I………"

Jiang Wanyu avoided his gaze, not daring to meet that determined gaze. She felt her heart beating so fast that she felt a little breathless.

No matter how you think about it, there's no way he could like her!

"If something goes wrong, it must be a trick! Let me wake up again!"

After saying that, Jiang Wanyu slipped away from Song Qiyan like a little rabbit, leaving Song Qiyan looking at her fleeing figure in confusion.

"Fake? Is this a disguised way of rejecting me?"

The entire plan to pursue his wife completely failed, as if he was made into a joke.

He felt a sudden pain in his heart, his eyes became weak, and he returned to the Northern Prince's Palace in despair.

-

On this side, Xie Langfeng entered the palace.

"You're still here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xie Langfeng bowed and then looked up at the terminally ill emperor. Although they were brother and sister, he did not see anything like his sister on that cold face.

"Before, no matter how I called you, you refused to come. Now that my health is deteriorating, you appear. It turns out that you are the brother that Nian'er took in. It seems that Nian'er has cared about you more than I do over the years."

Song Chengzhong raised the corner of his mouth. He did not blame Xie Langfeng for his intention. Instead, he was very happy that he could see his sister's only companion in her life with his own eyes before he died.

He felt guilty because he was her royal brother but he never even saw her before she died.

"Forgive me for my sin."

Xie Langfeng knelt down, then slowly took out a long-sealed letter from his sleeve, raised his hands to his head, and said, "Sister once said that she hopes to present this letter to the emperor when he is on the verge of death."

This is also the reason why he chose to stay in the capital - to fulfill his sister's wish before her death and hand the letter to her royal brother, the current His Majesty Song Chengzhong.

Before leaving that year, Song Nianci told him that she was Song Chengzhong's biological sister and entrusted him with this letter.

"A Feng, I can't be with you anymore. If you are in trouble or if Fu Sheng Sect is in crisis, you can go to the Emperor, who is also my brother. Although he is stubborn, he will help you because of the relationship between him and me. And... I'm sorry that you have been hiding the truth."

Those were the words Fanyin said to him before she left, but she didn't know that Xie Langfeng had already guessed her identity.

When he had taken the token she had dropped to the yamen to ask for help, and the people in the yamen had immediately put aside their authority and gone to rescue her, he had vaguely sensed that Fanyin's identity was extraordinary.

Later, when he accidentally learned that the emperor was searching for his sister all over the country, he confirmed from the description of the person looking for her that Fanyin was the emperor's missing sister, the current Princess Pingyang, Song Nianci.

It's just that he hasn't exposed it yet, and he has no intention of exposing it.

Because to him, no matter who Fanyin was, he only knew that she was the sister who saved his life, and also the woman he had loved for a long time but to whom he had never even expressed his final feelings.

"Haha, that's all."

Song Chengzhong smiled bitterly and raised his hand to signal Xie Langfeng to stand up.

"Nian'er is still the same as before. I guess she hates me in her heart."

"No. Although I resent your bloody hands, I also know that the world will only be peaceful if a master is established."

"Yeah………"

There was a trace of sadness that was hard to conceal in Song Chengzhong's eyes.

He was originally the eldest son of the Song family. Later, he became more and more powerful in his official career, and his ambition gradually made him covet the royal power.

Later he really became king, but not only did he fail to win the heart of his beloved, he also lost his only sister.

"Brother, do you really want to overthrow the world? But now the people are living in poverty. If you start a war again, more innocent people will die."

Song Nianci held Song Chengzhong tightly. She was still a little overwhelmed at what to do when her once gentle brother became so cruel.

"If the world does not tolerate me, I will naturally overthrow it."

As he said this, Song Chengzhong pushed Song Nianci's hand away, thinking that she was too kind-hearted. After all, she could not understand the king's ambition.

"Nian'er, this matter cannot be discussed any further. When you become a princess, you can do whatever you want."

"But brother, I don't want to be a vampire princess covered in blood. I just want to live the rest of my life in peace."

After a pause, he asked earnestly, "Brother, do you really want to go against the emperor?"

Song Chengzhong didn't say anything, just turned his back.

"Nian'er, the world is not just a matter of love, some things are the general trend."

"But if it weren't for your ambition and greed, how could this peaceful world become such a mess? Go out and take a look at the displaced people on the streets. You say it has nothing to do with you?!"

As he spoke, Song Nianci wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay, if you really want to be emperor, then I will no longer be your sister. From now on, Nian'er and brother will no longer have a blood relationship. Nian'er will go to make amends for the sins committed by the Song family."

After saying that, Song Nianci slammed the door and left.

At that time, Song Chengzhong just thought that Song Nianci was just speaking in anger. Besides, his plan to seize power was getting closer and closer. He didn't have the time to care about his kind-hearted sister, so he didn't look for her again.

But later, when he became emperor and remembered her again, his good sister had disappeared from his side.

How could he forget that Song Nianci was a stubborn person?

He was determined to learn medicine from the people in the martial arts world and was determined to save the people of the world.

Thinking of this, Song Chengzhong couldn't help but shed tears and beat his legs.

Yes, how could an older brother who watched his sister grow up not see her determination to turn around and leave?

In the end, he and Song Nianci parted ways and went on different paths.

With trembling hands, he slowly opened the letter that he had received more than ten years ago. There were not many words in the letter, only a few lines of words floated in front of Song Chengzhong's eyes.

"Brother, I know your determination, but I still cannot accept that you have become a person full of blood, so from now on, I will pay for the sins you have committed. I will carry your guilt and travel to all corners of the world, using my medical skills to mend the lives of the people. Maybe you don't understand my ambitions just like Nian'er doesn't understand yours, but Nian'er hopes that you can support me, just like Nian'er has never really blamed you - although we are separated by the world, my heart is praying for you. And Nian'er knows that you have a deep affection for Concubine Xian. But if someone doesn't love you, keeping him by your side is just a shell. If you can let go of this grudge, maybe Concubine Xian won't hate you so much anymore - your sister Song Nianci."

After reading it, Song Chengzhong, who always looked dignified, seemed as if the dam in his heart was broken in an instant, and burst into tears.

Whether it was Nian'er or Ning'er, it seemed that it was already irreversible for him...
