The cycle of fate

The night was as cold as water, and the jade steps were slightly cool. Qing Chen stood leaning against the door, out of his mind.Ye Hua walked past her, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go to sleep?"

"Can't sleep." Qing Chen said.

"When you were young, you were punished by Elder Xixie. You felt wronged and couldn't sleep at night. You sneaked out of the departure sky and came to Qiwu Palace to look for me. Although I was sleepy at the time, when I saw it was you, I beat you forcibly. Keep calm and listen to what's on your mind. You kept crying until you leaned into my arms, and then gradually stopped crying. You and I fell asleep in our arms, and that was the most peaceful and peaceful night I slept in all my life. "

Qing Chen chuckled, "I was young at that time, and I didn't know how to avoid taboos. The next day, when I was discovered by your palace man, I lost a lot of face. Not to mention being scolded fiercely by the master, I was even restrained."

"I was also punished by my father. In fact, at that time, you were simple-minded and didn't understand the defense of men and women, but I knew it. I knew that my actions might insult your reputation, but I did it anyway. I have my own selfishness, I like to hug you and see you falling asleep in my arms." Speaking of this, Ye Hua froze her smile, and suddenly mourned: "I thought I would definitely marry you, so I don't care about your reputation, but my father doesn't agree to my marriage with you. I also resisted, but after I ascended the throne, I realized that many things are more important because I am the lord of the world. Can't help myself."

"Don't think about the past, it's just adding unnecessary sadness." Qing Chen comforted.

"Yeah, I'm still lucky. No matter how difficult it was, you still came back to my side. It's not easy to appreciate, and life has to go through some unavoidable things." Ye Hua said, his eyes showed pity, Looking from the direction of Xuanji Palace.

Qing Chen asked, "What's on your mind? Is it related to His Highness?"

Ye Hua said: "I heard from the palace people that Runyu came to look for you. How is he recovering?"

"The body is still healthy." Qing Chen said.

"Is he blaming me?!" Ye Hua asked.

"No, he should be blaming me. After all, he was honest with me, but I kept something from him."

"Hey!" Ye Hua sighed softly, "You have known Runyu for a long time, do you know if he has a sweetheart?"

Qing Chen became nervous: "Why does Your Majesty ask such a question?"

"It's time for Runyu to get married. He has a long-standing marriage contract with Jin Mi, the daughter of the water god. The water god brought up this matter to me again today, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Qing Chen, Runyu treats you as a friend, and you It’s Tianhou, it’s more appropriate for you to tell him about it.”

Qing Chen froze on the spot, his hands trembling slightly, and the bitterness in his heart was surging, overflowing from his heart to his eyes, almost overflowing his eye sockets.

"Qing Chen!" Ye Hua softly called her name, and finally let her stop the surging bitterness in her chest, but it blocked her heart so hard that she could not breathe, she forced out a voice: " Oh! I'll tell him."

After returning from Yuqing Palace, Runyu became ill and had to leave the palace for several months.The doors and windows in his room were closed, and he was bedridden all day long, in a trance.

"Gah..." There was another sound of pushing the door.

Runyu said angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to come in?"

No one answered, and the sound of footsteps didn't stop. The voice gradually moved closer to Runyu's bed from far to near.

Runyu turned over and sat up, "You..." He only said one word, his anger gradually calmed down, and he asked again: "Who are you?"

The person who came was a Miaoli girl, her round face was reddish, she whispered: "My name is Jin Mi, I am the daughter of Water God."

"What are you doing here?"

"Father God said, His Royal Highness Ye Shen is ill, and asked me to come to Xuanji Palace to deliver medicine. Are you His Highness Ye Shen?" She dodged her eyes, not daring to look directly at Runyu.

"I am. You can leave after you put the medicine on the table. Thank you Fairy and Water God for your kindness."

"This is a potion specially prepared for you by my father. Your highness will get better soon after drinking it. My father ordered me to watch you and finish drinking the medicine before I can leave. Don't be stubborn, your highness. You have been sick for several months, and everyone in the palace is very worried."

Runyu laughed lightly, "Fairy really knows how to joke. I have been ill for so long, and you are the first person to come to see me, except for the servant girl who comes to bother me to drink medicine every day. But, you and I are not familiar with each other. The water god can Send someone to deliver medicine at will, why let his favorite jewel come here in person?"

Jin Mi felt a little embarrassed, remained silent for a moment, and finally said: "Yes, yes... I heard from Father God that His Majesty wants to betroth me to His Highness. So, I want to come and see His Highness, and ask His Highness what he means."

"Does the fairy want me to agree, or not?" Runyu asked nonchalantly.

Jin Mi's heart fluttered, "I hope, Your Highness, agree to marry me." Her voice was very heavy, and she said firmly.

"I'm so down and out, how can I still be appreciated by the fairies?" Runyu raised her head and chuckled, a tear flowed from the corner of her eyes and sank into her messy temple hair.

"Your Highness, are you unwilling?" Jin Mi carefully tested.

"Well, come here and feed me the medicine yourself, and I will tell you my answer."

"This... is a bit out of order."

"The fairy is quite bold. She dared to come to my place alone and beg me to marry you. How can the fairy not dare to do such a trivial matter as feeding medicine?"

"Okay." Jin Mi agreed, holding a white jade bowl, and approached Runyu.

"Fairy, please sit down."

"I'll just stand."

"But, I will feel unwell." Runyu said coldly.

Jin Mi had no choice but to sit by the bed, side by side with Runyu.She picked up the medicine bowl, asked for a spoonful of medicine soup, and handed it to Runyu's lips.At this moment, she could see clearly that Runyu's lips were dry and trembling, and her collar was open. From her forehead to her neck, her complexion was pale, covered with cold sweat, fine beads of sweat slid all the way from her pale cheeks to her neck, and her clothes were all covered. Soggy.She said distressedly: "Your Highness, drink the medicine."

Runyu followed her words and really drank all the medicine she handed over, mouthful by mouthful.

Jin Mi wanted to get up, but was caught by a cold hand and fell backwards, falling into Runyu's arms.She was shocked and wanted to break free, but was held tightly by Runyu, he approached Jin Mi's ear, lowered his voice and said: "I am not a gentle and polite gentleman in the eyes of others, do you still want to marry me?"

Jin Mi blushed anxiously, "Let go of me, or I'll call someone."

Runyu finally let go, and Jin Mi hurriedly jumped up.

"Will you come tomorrow?" Runyu asked.

Jin Mi straightened his clothes and said angrily, "Your Highness hasn't told me your answer yet."

"My wish can't change anything. However, if it can make the fairy happy." He was silent for a moment, then continued: "Then I promise you, I will marry you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Jin Mi bowed to Runyu, "I will be a good wife. But not now. Your Highness, you have to take care of your health. Jin Mi resigns." Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she walked away quickly.

"Ga..." The door opened and closed again.Runyu clutched the edge of the bed tightly, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, "Empress Tianhou, you have come to lie to me again. Can I not feel you wearing my dragon scales? I am just a chess piece for your obsession, you Do you really think I'm that easy to manipulate?"
