Pluto's Golden Apple

"Your Majesty, Heavenly Realm suffered heavy losses in this battle. I plead for the orders of the soldiers, and I hope that Your Majesty will appease the relatives of the soldiers and let Heavenly Realm recuperate."

"Your Majesty, Tiancheng's association with Huanyun in the past caused this catastrophe. I hope His Majesty will punish you severely!"

All the ministers knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, punish me severely!"

Huanrou held the scepter in her hand, and she looked completely different from her previous demeanor.It has been three months.It has been three full months since she took the throne.

At this moment, she was in a trance, and all the ministers began to discuss softly after watching it. Only a few ministers who proposed coughed.

Huanrou came back to her senses: "My lords are right. The Heaven Realm suffered heavy losses in this battle. The dead soldiers should be rested in peace. I hope the Minister of War and Thunder God will take care of you. I will leave this matter to you."

"As for Tiancheng, he colluded with Huanyun, maybe he really had no choice but to give him a chance to cut off Tiancheng's position and assign him to Tianji's fairy island."

After hearing this, the gods nodded and praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"My dear friends, if you have nothing else to do, then retreat to court."

Huanrou strolled in the heavenly courtyard, everything was so familiar.Since I was a child, I was born here and grew up here.

"Empress, look at that flower, how beautiful it is." Xiao Huanyun smiled and pointed to a small purple-white flower in the garden.

"Mother, that little flower is not as beautiful as the one in Xuan'er's hand, and it's not as fragrant as the one in Xuan'er's hand." Xiao Huanxuan handed over a flower as if asking for credit.

Xiao Huanyun was unhappy: "Mine is better."

"It's not right, mine." Xiao Huanxuan also muttered.

The emperor laughed, picked up Xiao Huanyun and Xiao Huanxuan, kissed them on the forehead, turned around and asked Huanrou, who was only 4 years old: "Then Rouer, tell me, which flower of your two sisters is better?" OK?"

Huanrou thought for a while, and replied in an extremely soft voice: "The elder sister's flowers are the most beautiful in color, and the second sister's flowers smell the most fragrant. In Rou'er's opinion, they are the best flowers, the most beautiful flowers."

The emperor laughed, and then Xiao Huanyun and Xiao Huanxuan smiled and got down from the emperor.

"My prettiest!"

"Third sister said mine is the most fragrant!"

The two little girls jumped up and down, playing again.

At this moment, when they went to the garden again, they were no longer there, Huanrou thought in her heart, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Today is Yun'er's birthday, let the emperor hear what Yun'er wishes for in the future." The emperor looked at Huanyun with a smile, and Huanyun had already turned 14 at that time.

Huanyun stood up, in that resplendent palace, next to that solemn and solemn hall, a small person, but with a dignified appearance, all the ministers stared at this princess, in their hearts, she was the most Like a princess of the emperor, she should also be the master of the future heaven.

"Mother, Yun'er only hopes to grow up quickly and share the worries of the heavenly affairs for the mother. Yun'er hopes to be recognized by all adults." Such ambition.

All the courtiers nodded in praise, and some courtiers knelt in front of the emperor: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, there is a daughter like a princess, and the future of heaven is bright!"

The Emperor smiled, a smile so proud.

"In that case, let me listen to the voices of the other princesses. Xuan'er, what are your wishes and ambitions?"

Huanxuan stood up and said generously, "I just hope that the emperor will get Xuan'er, and it will be like a tiger with wings."

The Emperor laughed, obviously most satisfied with this answer.

"Where's Rouer?"

"Rou'er only wishes that the mother and the emperor will be in good health, that there will be unparalleled blessings, that the heavens and the world will be peaceful, and that the subjects and people will be at ease." Huanrou smiled slightly, and the emperor also smiled at her.

"What about Bi'er, Qing'er?" The emperor asked with a smile.

"Qing'er hopes to be a wanderer in the future, and be able to travel to the most beautiful scenery in the Three Realms." Huanqing spoke first, and all the ministers smiled after hearing this.

Huan Bi spoke slowly: "I wish I could learn the most powerful divine arts in the world."

The emperor was very happy: "Okay, the daughters of the widow, each have their own ambitions, I hope that one day, you can all realize your wishes."

The past is vivid in my mind. Back then, when the Queen Mother was in power, the heavens were prosperous. How come it has become a little desolate now?

Before she knew it, she reached the gate of Zijin Palace, and Huanrou stopped.

"This palace is excellent." Jue Leng quietly looked at the palace plaque with an immature and somewhat timid face.

"What's the best way?"

"Qingqing Zijin, caress my heart, but for the king's sake, I have pondered it until now. Zijintongzijin, Huanrou, can you say yes?" She couldn't forget the cautious and breath-holding of Jue Leng who crept up to her side quietly. At that time, she always acted as a little girl, missing her dead mother.

Thinking of this, Huanrou smiled wryly, after all, she was always the one to bear the cold.

Now living in Fengluan Palace, this palace where the eldest sister and the second sister used to fight for blood, is nothing more than living in it.If they knew that the future would be so deserted, would they fight desperately for it?

Huanrou felt extremely uncomfortable, so she quickened her pace.The life she imagined turned out to be quite long, so long that she didn't even dare to touch the scar in her heart.

"Your Majesty, the King of Lingxi sent a ceremony official here, saying that he was traveling with his family and passing through the Heavenly Court, and came to pay his respects to His Majesty."

"Lingxi King?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you remember him?"

How could she not remember?Chu Shilan, the king of Lingxi, is her cousin, a little older than her, and the same age as Huanxuan. They had a very good relationship when they were young.Chu Shilan's mother had a very good relationship with the emperor. Although they were not born to the same mother, they were very close since childhood, so the emperor also treated Chu Shilan's mother as his own sister.Especially after the death of the emperor's sister, Princess Wanqing, the emperor was distraught, and it was Chu Shilan's mother who was by her side to comfort her and accompany her.

Therefore, the emperor was very kind to the Chu family. All the other brothers and sisters of the emperor were assigned to Xiandao, but the Chu family stayed. In addition to loving his sister, he also took pity on what happened to her sister. Chu Shilan's father died of illness early. It was her younger sister who raised Chu Shilan alone.Later, until Huanrou was 12 years old, the emperor's younger sister voluntarily went to Xiandao to live in peace. Perhaps it was because Shilan grew up day by day, and the emperor's children were all daughters, which was inevitably inconvenient.

"Let him wait for me in the front hall, I'll go change clothes, and then see him." Huanrou felt a little happy in his heart, it was rare to meet an old friend at such a lost time.

When Huanrou went to the front hall, an extremely handsome man hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Lingxi King Chu Shilan, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

Huanrou smiled and said, "King Lingxi doesn't need to be too polite."

Only then did Chu Shilan raise his head, and the two looked at each other, each in surprise.

Chu Shilan didn't expect that after seeing each other for so many years, Huan Rou was even more beautiful. She looked different from before. Thinking about it carefully, she was not as condensed as before. Her temperament was more gentle, as if she had experienced too much. There are many things, slowly letting the mind settle down.

Huanrou was also surprised, this cousin had an ordinary appearance when she was a child, but she had a very good heart and took extra care of her, how did she become so personable when she grew up?

"Long time no see, how is Auntie?" Huanrou asked with a smile.

King Lingxi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is concerned, my mother is still in good health, but this time I can't go on a cruise with us."

Huanrou suddenly became curious: "I don't know if King Lingxi can get married?"

King Lingxi laughed: "Your Majesty, I already have four sons."

Huanrou smiled: "Where is King Lingxi going this time?"

"The minister took his wife and children on a cruise, hoping that the children can increase their experience and manage the innocent island well."

Huanrou suddenly felt dazed, she suddenly remembered that Jue Leng once said to take her to settle in a place where no one was around, and forget all her troubles.

"Since you're here, stay for a few more days. Treat Heaven as your home, don't be restrained." Huanrou smiled slightly.

"Your servant obeys." It could be seen that Chu Shilan's brows and eyes were full of smiles, obviously very happy to meet this time after many years.

The ceremony official came in suddenly: "Your Majesty, His Majesty Haidi hastily asked for an audience."

Huanrou felt uneasy, Li Qianyue, what is she doing in such a hurry?She had no choice but to smile at Chu Shilan: "Perhaps His Majesty Haidi has something important to do, please ask King Lingxi to enjoy it in the heavenly court first, and then talk about it when I come back."

King Lingxi laughed: "Your servant obeys the order."

Li Qianyue walked in with a little anger.

"Huanrou, it's been so long, you don't go to Jue Leng, is it because of that little boy just now?"

The maid beside the emperor was anxious: "You must not insult His Majesty the Emperor."

Huanrou frowned slightly: "Don't be rude, you go down first, Qianyue is not an outsider, let's chat alone, don't let anyone come in to disturb you."

The little fairy had no choice but to go out.

Huanrou had a helpless smile: "Qianyue, he is my cousin, he came from the innocent island, passed by the heaven, and came to visit me by the way."

Li Qianyue shook her head: "Do you really have the heart to watch Jue Leng get depressed day by day?"

Huanrou was startled: "What happened to her?"

Seeing that Huanrou still cared about Jue Leng, Li Qianyue felt a little happy in her heart.

"She lost a lot of weight and I haven't seen her smile since the war."

Huanrou sighed: "I owe her too much, I only hope Qianyue can make it up for me and take good care of her."

Li Qianyue was sad in her heart, and her voice was a little excited: "I don't understand why you guys care about each other, but you have to make it like this? Don't you have to wait until one day, like Yao'er left me, and never see you again, then you two Dare to face your heart directly?"

After saying this, both Li Qianyue and Huanrou felt very sad.

"Qiaoyue, I have my sufferings. The heavens are in chaos right now, how can I just sit idly by?"

Li Qianyue laughed, her smile was very desolate: "Huanrou, do you know? If Yao'er didn't die, I would give up everything for her. Do you know how lonely it would be for a person sitting in such a high seat? "

How could she not know, how could she not understand?I don't know how many nights, she would dream of Jue Leng, and dream of Jue Leng still the same as before, smiling flatteringly at her, just to please her.

Huanrou was silent, she really didn't know how to face it, Li Qianyue insisted on breaking through every line of defense in her heart, and let her be naked like that.

"I used to think that you were the couple I admired the most. I have seen so many people in the world, but none of them are as brave as you. You still insist on being together in the worst environment. Regardless of all the pressures of the world, you are willing to fight for You gave up the position of Pluto, and you are willing to give up your wealth and glory for the sake of Jue Leng. But now, I suddenly feel that you are very pitiful, really pitiful, since I can't persuade you, then I will leave." Li Qianyue felt, No matter what, I couldn't wake up the two people who pretended to be asleep.Jue Leng herself didn't understand her own heart, so she went to persuade Jue Leng first, but maybe it was really hurt too badly, and Jue Leng was still unwilling to forgive.

"Forcing my father to commit suicide and causing my brother to die tragically, Qian Yue, no matter how much I love you, how can I forgive you? Every day I see her, my heart is bleeding." Jue Leng said very slowly, but every word Heart.

"Since you and Jue Leng are both so stubborn, I won't force you. There is one more thing I want to tell you, I have already done what Jue Leng asked me to do. Li Yuan and Cui'er are both in Haiting. Since you don't want to Facing Li Yuan, I can always help you raise her." Li Qianyue waved her sleeves and walked away without looking back.

Huanrou was stunned by herself, that's right, she forgot about Li Yuan.How much do you not want to recall the past?Although I still don't want to think about it at this moment, Li Yuan is still my own flesh and blood.It turns out that Jue Leng has been silently doing so many things for himself.Thinking of it, her heart ached.

That night, she didn't sleep well anymore, her mind was filled with the cold and innocent smile, and she felt that she was going crazy.

The next day, she summoned the newly appointed Tiancheng Erquan, and said: "Go and help me find out the details of King Lingxi, and find out about the governance of Wuxie Island."

Erquan felt a little inexplicable. Could it be that His Majesty was afraid that King Lingxi would threaten her?But still can only obey.

A few days later, Erquan came to report: "Your Majesty, in the name of Your Majesty, I went to investigate and found that Wuxie Island is well managed by King Lingxi. He is a virtuous king."

"So, very good." Huanrou smiled slightly.

What is Your Majesty doing?Why do I always feel that I can't figure out her mind?Erquan sighed secretly, but he always felt that His Majesty had something on his mind.

In the past few days, your lords have obviously felt that His Majesty the Emperor is getting more and more out of shape, and sometimes he didn't react for a long time after they finished speaking.At first they thought it was just that she was mourning too much, but now, it has been more than half a year since the war, could it be that His Majesty has not recovered yet?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Can Your Majesty agree with your suggestion just now?"

Huanrou came back to her senses and sighed: "My dear friends, I have something to announce."

Your lords looked at each other, His Majesty looked very strange today, as if he had something on his mind.

"Your servants are all ears." All the gods knelt down one after another.

Huanrou sighed, and told the ceremony officer beside him: "Ceremony officer, declare the decree."

"The emperor's edict said: When I am in danger, I am ordered to be in danger in the heavens. I am trembling, I dare not insult the legacy of my ancestors, I dare not call myself a wise king, but I want to be worthy of my heart. However, since I have been in power, I have consciously not interested in government affairs. The lifeblood of the heavenly world, recuperating and rejuvenating. Since I am not prepared enough, I will be full of loopholes. It is a blessing to thank you for your love. For the future consideration of the heavenly world, I am deeply worried. Chu Shilan, the king of Lingxi, was born in the famous Chu family. My late father was the pillar of the imperial court, and my mother was respected as the princess of the former dynasty. Her status was distinguished, and she was dignified. Moreover, I sent Tiancheng to consider it. Shilan has a talent for governing the world, so I have the intention to abdicate the position of emperor to Lingxi King, hereby!"

As soon as this edict came out, the officials discussed a lot, and they all knelt down: "Your Majesty, your Majesty can't, please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the heavens are not completely stable at the moment, and the situation has not been fully controlled. His Majesty's will at this time makes the ministers feel uneasy."

As the ministers talked, they knelt down one after another, and some even shed tears.

Huanrou smiled softly: "My lords, please hurry up. You are all the pillars of the heavens. Huanrou is very grateful to you for your love. However, Huanrou has no lofty ambitions since she was a child. Some of the adults present are Watching Huanrou grow up, so I know very well in my heart, is what Huanrou said true?"

"This..." Some old ministers thought about it. She was not lying. When the emperor wanted to make her the crown prince, several of them objected, saying that she had no ambitions, was too benevolent, and feared the future. Unable to lead the heavens to the top.

"But Your Majesty, today is different from the past." Some veterans still did not change their positions.

Huanrou smiled and shook her head: "My lords are all virtuous ministers of the heavens. What needs to be defended is a prosperous heaven. Why bother to guard the Huanjia by force? This bloody storm was brought to the heaven by the Huanjia. The Huanjia is guilty. It is the Buddha's mercy that did not implicate Huanrou, but how could Huanrou intend to continue to be the emperor? And you can feel that Huanrou's ability to handle political affairs may not be the best choice. King Lingxi has been with Huanrou since childhood Growing up, he has a kind heart and is quite intelligent, and he is the best candidate in Huanrou's mind to govern the heavens, and I hope that all of you adults will help him with all your heart in the future, so that my heavens can restore prosperity in the shortest possible time!"

"But Your Majesty..." Several old ministers shed tears. Since ancient times, they have fought for the throne. How can they become the emperor with great difficulty, but give it up to others?

"You don't need to say too much, dear friends. Tomorrow there will be a Zen throne ceremony. Tomorrow, King Xuanlingxi must attend the meeting on time."

Huanrou has made up her mind, and there is a touch of determination on her face.She has already figured it out, she has figured it out thoroughly, as if overnight, all the pain Li Qianyue felt was infinitely magnified on her body.She began to think that one day, which one of her and Jue Leng would pass away first, and the other would be in great grief.

Why not take advantage of the health of the loved one, why not stay together while the two are still in love?Jue Leng has paid too much for her, and she didn't really realize until today that Jue Leng is more important to her than anything else.

Even if she doesn't want to forgive herself, even if she wants to please her cautiously, it doesn't matter, as long as she can be with her and stay together.She doesn't want any heaven, she doesn't want any responsibility, just let her be willful and crazy once.

"Where does Your Majesty want to go?" Many old officials were very confused when they saw Huanrou's retreating figure.

Where do you want to go?Go to the deepest place in your heart, go to the place where you are freest, and go to the place where you care the most.

The author has something to say:

But can Jue Leng forgive her?
