The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality
Chapter 132: Defeat, I'll Accompany You
Chu Heng left the reunion dinner early, using the excuse that he was drunk.
On the reunion night, he had no one to be reunited with, and before he knew it, he had arrived here.
Each person, a glass of wine and a crescent moon. The rooftop view is unique, and the whole city is full of lights and laughter.
But tonight the wine is cold and bitter, not very tasty.
He looked at her yard and the light in the room was still on.
Suddenly he saw her standing in front of the window, and her eyes suddenly looked towards him.
Quickly, she closed the window.
Chu Heng withdrew his gaze in disappointment, raised his head and took a sip of wine.
Cheng Jiuyuan didn't expect him to really come. She couldn't sleep anyway, so she put on her cloak and quietly opened the door to go out.
In the night sky, she was as light as a swallow, and landed beside Chu Heng in front of his shocked and delighted gaze.
"Why did your highness come here to drink?"
"It's not good to break into a girl's room at night." Chu Heng said truthfully.
"...Shouldn't you be in the palace?"
"I left the table early, using the excuse that I was drunk." Chu Heng patted the person beside him and said, "Sit down. It's nice to watch the fireworks here."
Cheng Jiuyuan looked into the distance and it was indeed very beautiful.
There was no obstruction anywhere, and the fireworks seemed to be blooming within reach.
The only downside is that it's cold at night.
One of them stood and the other sat, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them.
"Yuan'er, thank you for coming to spend the reunion night with me."
Cheng Jiuyuan noticed that his eyes were not as clear as usual and he was in a low mood.
He carried so much hatred alone, and almost all the people in the world who cared about him died.
Although the man on the dragon throne is his father, he is also the emperor of the world and the husband and father of his enemies.
At least she still has her maternal grandparents, but he...
"Your Highness, it's chilly at night, go sit in your room."
She has been in the world for many years and doesn't care about many rules.
Chu Heng looked up at her, seemingly unable to understand.
Soon he stood up, the smile on his face grew wider, and he took her hand and gracefully walked down from the roof.
There was a charcoal brazier burning in the room, and it was warm like spring.
Cheng Jiuyuan went into the inner room, untied his cloak, and put on a not-too-thick coat.
When she came out, she saw Chu Heng looking at what she had written.
Cheng Jiuyuan walked to the table and added water and tea to the teapot.
"It's cold at night, and drinking alcohol is harmful to your health. Drink a cup of hot tea to sober up and warm your body."
Although Cheng Jiuyuan suffered a lot, she was very careful with her food, clothing and other expenses. She was not the kind of person who would endure hardship without any effort. In this life, she took even better care of herself.
Chu Heng walked over and sat opposite her, watching her silently as she put tea leaves into the teapot with a small spoon. Her every move was very pleasing to the eye.
Soon, steam was coming out of the tea.
Cheng Jiuyuan poured him a glass and pushed it in front of him.
Chu Heng brought the teacup in front of him, curled his lips and said, "I didn't expect that I could drink the tea you brewed yourself tonight." After saying that, he took a sip.
Cheng Jiuyuan also poured himself a glass.
The people of Dongling love tea. No matter they are high-ranking officials or common people, there is tea in every home, whether it is good or poor.
The two of them sipped tea. The outside of the house was still as lively as before, but inside the house was a little warmer and more ambiguous than before.
This scene at this time is just like the winter tea poem:
Guests come for tea and wine on a cold night,
The bamboo stove soup is boiling.
It’s the same month before the window,
It would be different if there were only plum blossoms.
It's not the plum blossoms that make things different, it's the people around you that make things different.
"Your Highness, I went to see my master two days ago and learned from her some past events about the late queen and the late crown prince."
Having said this, Cheng Jiuyuan didn't continue, but just looked at him.
Chu Heng put down the teacup, expression unchanged, and motioned for her to continue.
"I want to ask Your Highness, is what you said before about wanting to live a carefree life true or false?"
The two looked at each other for a long time before Chu Heng spoke: "What if it's true? What if it's fake?"
"If it's true, I'm just overthinking it. If it's false..." Cheng Jiuyuan looked at him seriously, "Although the engagement between me and Your Highness is an agreement, to outsiders, you and I are one."
Chu Heng clenched the porcelain cup in his hand: "So, if I want to do something, what will you do?"
He was nervous about her answer.
He was afraid of involving her, and he was even more afraid of hearing her say something like persuading him to give up the idea of revenge or cancel the engagement.
"My master is willing to help Your Highness with revenge, so I will naturally stand with my master. So whatever Your Highness wants to do, I will lend a helping hand."
Master was one reason, and another reason was to repay him for saving her life in her previous life.
Unexpectedly, she not only did not stop him, but also helped him.
Although it was due to her master, it was still surprising enough.
You have to know that he is facing the prince's gang and the extremely powerful Wei family.
"What I said before was not a lie. I want to live a carefree life. But I have always been a spectator, and I am a player in the game. Even if I want to live a carefree life, I have to wait until my revenge is taken."
After Cheng Jiuyuan got his confirmation, he started to think about it.
If he could avenge his great vengeance, and her vengeance could be avenged as well, then the only person who could sit in that position would probably be Chu Heng. If he wanted to live a carefree life, even the court officials would probably not agree.
"You already know my secret, so can you tell me why you want Chu Ze's life?" Chu Heng asked.
Cheng Jiuyuan gave a truthful but perfunctory reason: "Maybe there was a grudge in the previous life."
This sentence reminded Chu Heng of the dream again, and he looked at Cheng Jiuyuan inquiringly.
Cheng Jiuyuan asked with a smile: "You want the prince's life, I want Chu Ze's life, and the throne from now on..."
Before Cheng Jiuyuan could say anything, Chu Heng interrupted her and said, "I can't sit on the throne."
"Why?"
Chu Heng was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I have been poisoned by the heir-killing poison."
Cheng Jiuyuan was stunned. Tonight was really exciting.
"I...if you don't want to marry me, wait...I will find a chance to cancel the engagement."
After the marriage event with Northern Qi in the dream.
Cheng Jiuyuan grabbed his hand and placed her fingertips on his wrist.
After a long while, she said with a strange expression: "Falling Wild Goose Sand?"
This turned out to be Master Yan's poison.
"This poison cannot be cured..."
"This poison can be cured..."
The two said almost in unison.
Chu Heng looked at Cheng Jiuyuan in surprise.
Cheng Jiuyuan continued: "It's just a little troublesome."
"Besides, who says you can't take that position if you've been poisoned? If one of the crown prince and Chu Ze were there, you might not be able to take that position. If both of them are gone, who else would be more legitimate than you? You don't have any offspring to adopt."
He had never thought of taking Chu Ze's life before, nor had he thought of this possibility.
He laughed and said, "I used to think that after I got my revenge, I would find a remote village and live out the rest of my life there. I don't have any ambitions, but if the second girl wants, it wouldn't be bad to marry her to a country."
Cheng Jiuyuan also laughed and said, "You are talking as if the Crown Prince and Chu Ze are cabbages that can be chopped at will. For now, we should take it step by step. Let the Crown Prince and Chu Ze fight first, and we will hide in the dark first."
"Yeah, I think so too."
Cheng Jiuyuan raised his glass: "If you succeed, I will avenge you. If you fail, I will accompany you."
Chu Heng clinked glasses with her, and then they both drank the tea as if it were wine.
On this ordinary yet extraordinary night, those who walk alone are no longer alone.
