I was forced to marry

Five years later

Today is Xiao Yue's 22nd birthday, and princesses from all over the world went to Jing'an to congratulate Xiao Yue. For a while, Jing'an City was very lively, and even the faces of the people were filled with joy.But this is not a big birthday after all, Xiao Yuejue is a bit extravagant, but all the officials agreed that Xiao Yue's birthday is only once in five years. Officials from the Ministry of Rites have asked for an order from the court a long time ago, and this year's birthday banquet must be held.

Xiao Yue saw that the Minister of Rites was so persistent, so he agreed. First, he didn’t want to be nagged by him, and second, he really needed to meet the princesses. Since the territory was divided five years ago, those countries were established as counties and feudal. After becoming the princess, apart from paying tribute every year, he has never met face to face, and the people in the court were panicked if they didn't see each other.

But Xiao Yue was not as indifferent as he appeared on the surface. In fact, his heart was like rough sea waves rising and falling. The five-year agreement between him and Luo Shaojin had arrived, and it had exceeded seven days.He has been paying close attention to the movement of Beiliu in the past five years, but he has inquired about any news but not a single word about Luo Shaojin, as if that person disappeared in this world many years ago.

When the spy he sent out for the first time came back and reported that he had not seen Luo Shaojin in Beiliu or heard a single word about Luo Shaojin, the despair in his heart was like a pool of stagnant water sinking heavily in his heart.But he still firmly believed that Luo Shaojin would come back.

It's just that when he learned that even Liuli didn't have any news about Luo Shaojin, the despair in his heart was suddenly magnified. When he dreamed back in the middle of the night, he could almost see Luo Shaojin's bloody face, so that he was always awakened in his dreams. He wanted to I went to the underworld again from the dream, but never succeeded again. In the dream, there was nothing but Luo Shaojin's cold corpse.He was even afraid that this was what Brother Yan Wang had conveyed to him. Luo Shaojin had already died, but he couldn't believe it. He always held a belief. He believed in Luo Shaojin and believed that he would come back. He said he would come back and tell himself his real name. To come back and accompany him to rule the world, he said that man will conquer the sky.

Xiao Yue closed his eyes, only to feel a pain in his heart like biting.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court. The princesses of all the counties have arrived." Dexi bent over and came in, seeing Xiao Yue's eyes closed, he coughed lightly to remind him.

"Understood." Xiao Yue opened his eyes, looking lonely.

All the affairs of the birthday banquet were arranged by the Ministry of Rituals and carried out on schedule. Xiao Yue sat on the top of the hall and looked down at the people below, without any emotion in his eyes.The most important reason why he agreed to hold this year's birthday banquet was that he knew that if Luo Shaojin was still there, he would definitely come back at this time, maybe it was just a delay, and it was only seven days late.

At the banquet, Xiao Yue was in a trance. This was the first time in five years that he was in such a trance. After returning from Nanchu back then, he immediately dealt with the court affairs without even taking a break, and left everything in reality. Even Emperor Jingwen, who has always been diligent in government and caring for the people, can't match his diligent attitude.

Xiao Yue always felt that there was a string stretched on his body, and he couldn't let that string loose, otherwise he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be able to bear the constant worry and fear.However, the string that had been stretched for five years was completely loosened today.

"He didn't come." At the dinner party, fireworks were in full bloom, and the entire palace was filled with joy, but Xiao Yue's pupils were full of sadness.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" The Queen Mother sat aside, heard Xiao Yue muttering softly, turned her head to look at him, and asked softly.

Xiao Yue looked at the Queen Mother and said in a daze: "Queen Mother, didn't Beiliu send someone to give gifts?"

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed slightly, but soon returned to normal, "The emperor is confused, my Dazhou and Beiliu don't communicate with each other, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, so how could they give gifts."

"That's right, we don't interact with each other." Xiao Yue was in a daze, as if the emotions he had pretended for five years were about to collapse at this moment, and his body sitting on the dragon chair was even a little precarious.

"Your majesty, do you feel unwell?" The queen mother asked with concern, holding Xiao Yue's hand.

Xiao Yue looked at the Queen Mother and shook his head slightly.

The Empress Dowager and Dexi looked at each other. They also knew why Xiao Yue was like this. Ever since Xiao Yue sternly refused the election four years ago, when he confessed his affairs with Luo Shaojin, the Empress Dowager knew what Xiao Yue would become. Luo Shaojin is the emperor, because Xiao Yue told her that he would only marry Luo Shaojin. The queen mother was shocked when she said this. ingrained.

Seeing Xiao Yue like this, the Empress Dowager invited the Minister of Rites to cut down many programs at the dinner so that Xiao Yue could go back to rest earlier.But he was rejected by Xiao Yue, he had to wait until the end, maybe, at midnight tonight, Luo Shaojin would appear and it is unknown.

It's just that all the guests in the hall can't make it to midnight, so the Ministry of Rites still quietly cut down a few programs under the order of the Queen Mother, so that Xiao Yue can go back to rest earlier.

"Liuli sent a batch of medicinal materials that are extremely helpful for falling asleep today, and the queen mother has asked Dexi to order someone to boil it. You can drink a bowl before going to bed later."

"My son knows, it's late at night, the queen mother should also go to rest."

The queen mother gave Xiao Yue a few loving glances, and then said no more.

At night, Xiao Yue didn't drink the soup, and just lay quietly on the bed and looked up at the sky, as if his strength had been drained, he couldn't even move his fingers.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye, how many times he had expected to see Luo Shaojin as soon as he opened his eyes, but everything told him today that this was impossible.

"You liar, liar." Xiao Yue murmured, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the Southern Chu envoys are asking to see you."

Xiao Yue was suffering, but he heard Dexi report from outside.

"Nan Chu? Master." Xiao Yue sat up, as if a light suddenly shone in his heart, and he saw hope in an instant.

"Quick pass!" Xiao Yue turned over and got out of bed, and hurriedly put on clothes.

Dexi bowed and retreated, and walked in with a young man after a while.

Seeing that it wasn't Bai Xiyu, Xiao Yue felt disappointed and also surprised.

"Li Qian kowtowed to the emperor." The crisp voice was the same as before, Li Qian raised his head and looked at Xiao Yue with a slight smile.

Xiao Yue looked at him, a little surprised. He thought that when Li Yuanjing was furious, he had ransacked the entire Li family, and he felt guilty for not saving Li Qian in time, but now it seems that he is doing well.

"Get up, Eunuch De, you go down first."

After De Xi stepped back, Xiao Yue walked up to Li Qian in three steps at a time, and said with a light smile, "Xiao Qian, you've grown up, what are you doing here tonight?"

Li Qian smiled gratefully, "My master is waiting for you in the imperial garden, and I specially asked me to invite the emperor."

Xiao Yue thought for a while, "Xi Yu?"

Li Qian nodded.

Xiao Yuecai's disappearing hope slowly rose again, and he couldn't wait to follow Li Qian to the imperial garden.Sure enough, in the gazebo of the imperial garden, Bai Xiyu was sitting in a wheelchair waiting for the moment.

"Master!" Xiao Yue walked over a few steps, and excitedly held Bai Xiyu's hand tightly. During the day, Li Yuanjing came alone, but did not see Bai Xiyu. Xiao Yue thought he would not come, and did not Thought he actually came.

"Xiaoqian, you go down first." Bai Xiyu turned his head slightly and told Li Qian.

Li Qian nodded, smiled shyly at Xiao Yue and ran away.

"This kid, I know you wanted to save him at that time, but the situation was chaotic and you didn't take care of it, and there was no news after that, so you thought he was also dead."

"Master saved him?" Xiao Yue said.

Bai Xiyu shook his head, "I was in Dongyu at that time, so I couldn't care less about it."

"Li Yuanjing won't let him go. At that time, the Li family was all the work of Chen Ang. Anyone left in the Li family may become a threat to Southern Chu. Therefore, Li Yuanjing will definitely kill the grass." At this point, Xiao Yue suddenly fell silent, Then he looked at Bai Xiyu and said, "Is it Ah Luo?"

Xiao Yue remembered that at that time, he realized that Luo Shaojin's identity was different, and he deliberately alienated him to fight him coldly. Under such circumstances, Luo Shaojin could still take care of his heart.

"Master, Nanchu is the closest to Beiliu. Master is smart, did you find any news?" Xiao Yue asked excitedly, squatting down and grabbing Bai Xiyu's arm.

"Since then, Beiliu has never intersected with the Central Plains, and there is not even a general exchange of goods. I think the new Beiliu Dalun wants to completely separate Beiliu from the Central Plains, and take good care of it. It's a good thing for Zhou."

Bai Xiyu analyzed shallowly.

Xiao Yue seemed to understand the meaning of these words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said eagerly: "Master means that this is A Luo's style."

Bai Xiyu smiled slightly, and the moonlight leaned on him, "I don't know if it is true or not, I just came to tell you, you should be at peace, and don't be too sad."

Xiao Yue's eyes dimmed again in an instant, "What does Master mean, is he really not coming back?"

Bai Xiyu was speechless, but held Xiao Yue's hand instead.Beiliu kept the news extremely tight. Although several tribes were fighting fiercely, there was never a single word about Luo Shaojin. Unless Dazhou started a war against Beiliu, otherwise, if you want to go deeper into Beiliu to find out the news It is difficult.

"Although Liuli has not established a new king, the state affairs have long been taken care of by Lord An, so..."

Xiao Yue collapsed and sat on the ground, and gradually let go of Bai Xiyu's arm, "Master, I just want him to come back, as long as I can look at him again, I'm willing to do anything."

Bai Xiyu leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, "I understand, just like Yuan Jing and I, although we are brothers, it's enough to spend our whole life by our company."

Xiao Yue looked up at Bai Xiyu, "So, Master, he will come back."

Bai Xiyu spoke silently.

When Xiao Yue returned to his bedroom, it was almost midnight.Dexi saw that he looked sleepy, and thought for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, Liuli sent someone to bring you a decoction for sleep. The envoy of Liuli made it himself. Do you want to present it?"

Xiao Yue shook his head, unable to hear a word, as if Dexi's voice was thousands of miles away, he didn't feel it at all.

Seeing him like this, Dexi didn't dare to disturb him any more. He wanted to wait for him to take off his clothes, but seeing Xiao Yue pulling his belt by himself, he remembered that the emperor never let people wait on him. These close things were always done by him alone.

Seeing Xiao Yue lying on the bed quickly, Dexi was ready to bow and retreat.

"Eunuch De, put out the candles, just keep two."

"Yes."

There were only two candles burning alone in the whole bedroom, and the faint yellow light shone lightly on Xiao Yue's fair cheeks.At this time, Xiao Yue couldn't wait to fall asleep, he wanted to go to the underworld again in his dream.

Forcing himself like this, Xiao Yue reluctantly fell asleep when fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

In the dream, he seemed to feel that someone was caressing his cheek, and a pair of affectionate eyes were staring at him, but he still couldn't wait to explore in the dream, exploring the way to the underworld, he wanted to ask personally Brother Hades, why is this!

It's just that after searching for a long time in the dream, he couldn't find the exit. He was so anxious that his clothes were wet with sweat, and he murmured that he wanted to scream.But he felt someone calling him from behind, and when he heard the voice, he stopped abruptly because the voice was so familiar.

"Hell, have I arrived yet?" Xiao Yue murmured with a smile, because he seemed to have heard Luo Shaojin's voice.

He turned his head in disbelief, his eyelids lifted up in disbelief, and suddenly felt that his eyes were hazy and yellow, and there was a very familiar figure sitting in the hazy yellow light.He even felt that the man was gently stroking his cheek with his hand.

Xiao Yue raised his hand to hold that hand, looked at the man in the hazy yellow light, his eyes filled with tears, sure enough, he could only see him in the underworld in his dream.

"A Luo~ I miss you."

Xiao Yue looked at the man with a gentle smile, his eyebrows remained the same, watched him move his lips gently, and then said in a hazy and quiet candlelight: "This is not a dream."
