Side of the Jade Throne

Chapter 24 Life and Death Become the King of Mysteries

Taiqi was not sure what mood he was in when he left the Changxia Palace.He used to be afraid of many things, but at least he can still believe that Zhenye will always be with him.

It's just... now they have their own responsibilities, he is Dai's chancellor, and she has also become Shun's new king.

The north and the south are separated, and it is destined that there will be no day and night.

Thinking of her sad look, Taiqi once again thought of his extremely clumsy comfort.

——It doesn't matter, we can still afford the money that Hongyan passed on.

At that moment, Taiqi even heard the laughter of the fishing official.

After Zhenye was slightly stunned, he also laughed.

——If you need me, I will try my best to come here, and it won't take long, after all, I am very good at sports.

"Want to have dinner together? This is the first time you have come to my real home."

……

So, also good.

Zhenye sent away the congratulatory envoys from various countries.Although it is difficult for her to cherish each other with Taiqi, it is what she must do.After she decided to protect the country that her father sacrificed for the last time, she was doomed to the current situation.

In a very short period of time, she was separated from the two most important people in her life, and now she must abandon the past, concentrate all her efforts on the country, and work hard for the new dynasty.

With her status as a princess and years of experience as an official, Zhenye took over the government without much effort, and began her first year of Huaici with "respect for kindness and kindness" as the first edict.

The posthumous title of the former king was designated as "Ci", and Xuan Kuo was honored as "King of Compassion" from then on.

Because the new king was the adopted daughter of King Ci, and King Ci was indeed gentle and merciful in his conduct, when Zhenye proposed this posthumous title, all the officials obeyed Zhenye's meaning.

"Yu Wang Zhenye, surnamed Xu, surnamed Liao, the adopted daughter of King Ci of Shun's ancestors, a student of the sage Baicao Gong, young, intelligent, and wise, entered the university at the age of seven, graduated from the university at the age of ten, and became a special-level doctor in the same year. Traveling to other countries, you can play , Lian, Fan, and Yan Guozhu met each other, Xu Caizhi lost his way, and became famous in all countries. At the age of thirteen, he was admitted to the fairyland. In the same year, he entered the court as an official. ... King Ci lost his way and abdicated. At the age of 58, he ascended the throne in accordance with the destiny, and changed his origin to Huaici."

long summer palace

Zhenye has gradually gotten used to the complicated and boring life of being a king. Probably the only thing that comforts her is that she still lives in her former home. Except for the absence of her father and king, there is no other change. boring.

This day, Shang Zhi accompanied Zhenye to polish some red corals, Shang Zhi said: "Yuan Chen came back from Hongzhou to report on his work."

"Yuanchen?" Zhenye suddenly stopped what she was doing. After she became king, she had hardly heard of this name. Probably because the incident back then was too much, and everyone didn't dare to mention it in front of her. I thought that the only friend I had in college was Shang Zhi.

"So it's been 30 years." Zhenye said softly. At that time, Yuan Chen was transferred to be Yin of Hongzhou Prefecture. The term of office was 30 years, and it has already arrived.

"I don't know what Yuan Chen has become?"

"What else can it be like, nerd." Zhenye couldn't help smiling when he thought of the carefree days in college.

Shang Zhi also laughed, and suddenly said: "Thinking about it, I still feel miraculous. My lord, I, and Yuan Chen should have completely incompatible temperaments."

"In the end, we still became friends." Perhaps this is Murphy's law, Zhenye thought.

"At that time, the Lord and Yuan Chen competed almost every day about who could memorize all the books in the library first."

"It was forced by the famous..." Zhenye sighed.At that time, she was pampered and spoiled, and she always felt that Huai Zhen was very unreasonable, so she confidently pulled her father as a shield...

"Unexpectedly, all the things that the big names forced the master to go to school at that time will come in handy now..." Shang Zhi said in a tone of remorse.

"Yeah, it's really famous—" Zhenye was chatting lazily with Shangzhi, but suddenly thought of something, and as soon as the words stopped, he got up and walked towards the Hall of Renzhong.

wrong……

It shouldn't be like this!

Huai Zhen, this is not true!

It is unreasonable to force myself as a princess to study, I can find myself no matter where I am, and I am sent to the Renjun Temple for education, and even after I enter the university, I come to visit from time to time... These unsolved puzzles are connected in series. At the same time, Zhenye had a terrible conjecture.

Zhenye kept his face sullen all the way, and the hostility emanating from his body made the palace people dare not make a sound.

When she is a queen, she usually has a calm and solemn look. Even with her old friends, she is lazy and lazy, and she always seems to have no energy. But everyone in the Changxia Palace knows that this once-princess king Getting angry is a sharp sword with all its sharpness.

She pushed open the door of Renzhong Hall, and ordered in a cold and stern voice: "Except for the famous people, all step down."

"Yes, my lord." Most of the female officials and servants in the Hall of Renzhong knew what kind of relationship the new king had with Taifu, so they obediently withdrew.

"My lord, what happened..." Before Huai Zhen finished speaking, Zhen Ye stepped forward and grabbed his front collar.

"Tell me..." Zhenye's eyes were full of complex and compelling fear and loss of control, she stared at Huaizhen closely, "Why did the father lose his way?"

"It's God's will..." Lieqi slightly avoided Zhenye's eyes and said.

"Is it God's will!? Or did I come back too early?!" She asked sharply.

Lie Qi was surprised.

Seeing that he still refused to speak, Zhenye said relentlessly, "Or if I change the question, why do you always know my whereabouts?"

Seeing Zhenye's dangerous expression, Lieqi thought, she already knew.

"Because you are king," he said.

Zhenye stared at the change in Lieqi's expression, smiled miserably, let go of his hand, raised his hand to suppress the crying on his lips, and asked him: "Why don't you justify? I'll give you a chance to justify!"

Lieqi lowered his head, said nothing, and knelt in front of Zhenye—admitted his crime.

Zhenye trembled, took a few steps back, pulled out the sword from his waist, and hung it around his neck. The sword trembled with her hand.

"My lord!" Zhengyin appeared, trying to stop Zhenye.

"Zhengyin go back!" Lieqi ordered, he raised his head slightly, and said, "Zhenye..."

"Shut up!" Zhenye roughly interrupted Lieqi, threw away the saber in his hand, and the sword fell beside Lieqi, tearing his robe.

Zhenye left the Hall of Renzhong.

"Taifu!" Zheng Yin hurriedly checked on Lieqi's situation, "My lord, she..."

"She won't forgive me." Lieqi said softly, not sure if he was talking about Yu Zhengyin or mocking himself for raising Zhenye too smartly, guessing the fact that he painstakingly concealed through just a few details.

……

Since the second year of Huaici, the officials of the Shun Kingdom have clearly discovered that the Lord and the master, who had a relatively harmonious relationship, fell into a state of mutual respect for some reason, and the Lord would not attend court meetings from time to time.Although the Lord has a good way of governing the country, if things go on like this, people are very worried.

Lu Qi did not respond to this.He knows better than anyone else that Zhenye just hates him and doesn't want to see him.

Just... hated him.

Ever since King Ci lost his way, he has been in a state of anxiety all day long, but now, the truth has finally come to light.

Changxia Palace Swallow Bed

It has been more than a year since Zhenye closed Yan's bedroom, and the furnishings here are the same as when King Ci was alive.It's just that without the owner, it looks empty after all, only those handicrafts presented to the king as if they were treasures, placed in the most conspicuous positions.At the place where King Lu often sat, on the table were her previous strategies and theories.

Zhenye read it and began to cry.

"Father, Father... I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."

Zhenye's cry in Yan's bedroom spread outside the hall, and Lieqi, who followed Wang Qi, stopped at the door, and the hand that wanted to push the door stopped in midair.

Zhenye cried for a long time in Yan's dormitory, and the high and low crying sound made Lieqi outside the hall feel uncomfortable, so he opened the door and entered Yan's dormitory.The sound of pushing the door was particularly abrupt in the empty night, and Zhenye didn't look at it.

At this time, who else would dare to break into the Yan's bedroom that she ordered to be closed except for Yiqi?

Lieqi put his hand on Zhenye's shoulder, Zhenye turned his head, his hoarse voice made a slight sound, but he didn't say a word.

Lieqi looked at her teary eyes, full of loneliness and sorrow,

Lieqi leaned over to look at Zhenye, and said seriously: "Zhenye, no matter what, I will not leave you." Lan Qilin's ice-blue eyes showed unbearable and humble prayers, and his cool hand held the girl's slender palm.

But the bright hope was no longer in the eyes of the girl who had always been bright. Her cold eyes were full of wanton hatred. The next moment, she shook off his hand forcefully and walked away.

Dai Guobaigui Palace

His Majesty King Tai was very surprised by His Majesty King Yu's sudden visit: "You are finally planning to learn from His Majesty Yan Wang? Be careful that His Majesty Fan Wang will laugh at you."

"I don't think so. Even a king has the right to be willful occasionally, right?"

Xiaozong: The dynasty is not going very well at the moment, I don't have it.

"Haoli is in the Hall of Renzhong." At first glance, he didn't come to see him from afar.

"Thank you."

After all, it has been several months since Taiqi saw Zhenye. When he saw Zhenye, he was pleasantly surprised. After the initial joy, Taiqi didn't have much joy when he saw Zhenye. He looked around her.

"Where's the famous one?" Taiqi asked.When Wang travels, most of them will bring Qilin with them.

"In Shun." Zhenye replied simply.

"Are you... quarreling again?" Taiqi guessed.

"Arguing?" Zhenye snorted, "I have nothing to say to him." Zhenye's tone was stubborn and contemptuous, not a bit of complaint and dissatisfaction in the past.

"You don't... plan to... never see him?"

"I want to but I can't do it." She smiled, and that smile was mixed with endless hatred, "It's just that I can't forgive it."

Taiqi's hand making tea paused: "But... you will be angry if you say so, but it's very pitiful for you to be famous..."

"Him?" Zhenye smiled mockingly, "He is different from other unicorns, he neither loves the master nor has any sympathy."

"But if you are resented by the king..." Will...

"Yaojun." Zhenye looked at him sadly, the brows and eyes no longer had the warmth and clarity of the past, "If Huaizhen is pitiful, don't I be pitiful? That day I became the most pitiful person in the world. Beng, Huaizhen lied to me, I couldn't find you... Could it be that I can't even have hatred if I become a king?"

Taiqi looked at Zhenye quietly, frowning slightly.He understood that the once carefree happiness was reduced to ashes overnight, and even if he regained it, he would lose his original state of mind.

"Liu Ji..." He stood behind her and gently put his arms around her neck, "Don't force yourself."

……

Zhenye bid farewell to Taiqi and returned to Changxia Palace. From then until No.60, the year she ascended the throne, Yiqi lost her way and never left Changxia Palace again.

In the 61st year of Huaici, Lie Qi lost his way. Wang Zhenye followed the example of King Ci and abdicated from Pengshan.When Taifu was buried with the king, it was accidentally discovered that there was no king's body in the king's coffin. Since then, the king's life and death have become a mystery, and he is nicknamed "Mystery King".

In the same year, Pengshan bears some fruit, and because of erosion, he is lost and his whereabouts are unknown.

The author has something to say: Visually, there are still three extra chapters, maybe four chapters...

☆、Fanwaiyi A loving father's heart

Xuan Kuo was born in Shun's largest medicine merchant family, and he was not the eldest son who needed to inherit the family business.As a bright and intelligent youngest son, he has the right to choose his own life as he likes. Although he is not considered a genius, he was successfully admitted to university.

Xuan Kuo has good talent and learning, and he is also popular, and he has a few friends.

Xuan Kuo didn't have much ambition, and Li Wang's later period became more violent and unpredictable. As the days went by, he actually felt that life became boring.Only then, he couldn't leave.

Xuan Kuo never felt that he had any great kindness to King Li, and that King Li was willing to open his heart to him, and even acquiesced in some of his transgressive behaviors, so that in the later period of King Li's reign, he really couldn't leave.

Xuankuo's close friend Chengmei was deprived of his immortal status by King Li for disobeying King Li twice in succession, and was punished severely.Although Chengmei escaped by her own strength, Chengmei, who lost her immortality and was hunted down, did not escape the disaster after all.

At the end, Chengmei entrusted her benefactor's daughter to Xuan Kuo.

The baby girl was only one year old, she was a little thin because she was a fugitive and was short of supplies, but she had extremely beautiful and auspicious black hair and black eyes, and she looked extremely intelligent.

Xuan Kuo adopted the baby girl. To respect his old friend, Xuan Kuo named the baby Xu Liao. He never told others because he was worried that King Li would bear a grudge.For the convenience of addressing her, Xuan Kuo planned to choose a word with a beautiful meaning for her, but he just thought about it, but was preempted by King Li.

His girl has since been called Zhenye.

Soon after King Li passed away, Xuan Kuo was elected as the false king by everyone's expectations.

Zhenye grows up day by day, because of the good care, Yuxue looks cute, young and intelligent, she is Xuankuo's apple.

Zhenye grows up day by day, Xuan Kuo no longer feels that life is boring, and looks forward to it every day, what will his Zhenye grow up to look like.

—that is delightful indeed!

When Zhenye was less than five years old, the yellow flag was hoisted in the Li Temple, and Lieqi, who was only three years old, could be elected king for Shun.

However, the DPRK and China are not stable.

Xuan Kuo relied on his unique status in the later period of King Li to enlist hundreds of officials, so most of the government officials on Lingyun Mountain believed in him, but the princes of the states in Shun Kingdom were very restless before King Li.Xuan Kuo became a false queen, not only him, but also Zhenye had encountered several dangers, so Xuan Kuo was not at ease to leave his beloved daughter who had not yet joined the fairyland alone in Changxia Palace.As a last resort, Xuan Kuo brought Zhenye into the Yellow Sea.

The trip to the Yellow Sea went smoothly, and Xuan Kuo heard several times that Gang, who was traveling with him, talked about riding on the Pengyi this time.Xuan Kuo comforted himself, thinking that if the succession of the dynasty went smoothly, he would ask to be transferred to the Dong government, and lead a peaceful life with his handicraft-loving Zhenye.

Xuan Kuo never thought that he would become a king.

If it wasn't for Zhenye's urging, Xuan Kuo would have to be stunned for a while before accepting the oath.

Xuan Kuo chose the word Huaizhen for the young Lan Qilin—a word he had been thinking about for Zhenye for a long time but could not use.

Huai Zhen is very different.He is colder than any unicorn, but he is extremely strict in his handling of things.Treating him is not gentle, but treating him very harshly.

But no matter how strict Huaizhen was with Zhenye, Xuankuo never intervened.

Zhenye lacks playmates of the same age.She used to be the only young child in the Changxia Palace, and Queen Xuan Kuo became the princess.She has always been smart, and she doesn't like the daughters of ministers who are only interested in clothes. Xuan Kuo was relieved that Bi Zhenye was not interested in other children of the same age.

Most importantly, Xuan Kuo believes that Huai Zhen is the only person in the court who will not make any plans for Zhenye.

When Huaizhen just returned to the Changxia Palace, Zhenye and Huaizhen often played hide-and-seek, and Zhenye even hid in the study to seek Xuankuo's shelter.

When Xuan Kuo was dying, he remembered that it was the rare time when Zhenye looked like a child.

Because of safety issues, Xuan Kuo decided to accept Huai Zhen's suggestion and let Zhen Ye live in Renzhong Hall.After that, he never heard Zhenye complain about Huaizhen's strictness, but under Huaizhen's urging, Zhenye became better than he imagined.Two years later, Zhenye became the youngest college student in Shun Kingdom's history books.

Xuan Kuo was worried about this.

Zhenye is too good, she is better than many adults at a very young age, the speed of her growth has already made Xuan Kuo do not know how to continue to protect her as she grows up.

Xuan Kuo once considered letting Zhenye join the immortal family, but the reason why Zhenye refused made him unable to persist, so Huaizhen had to send an envoy to protect Zhenye.No matter how estranged Huaizhen and Zhenye were in the past, they grew up together after all. Huaizhen not only sent envoys, but also used guests for Zhenye.

So far, the two of them felt a little relieved about Zhenye's safety during college.

Xuan Kuo considered more than these for Zhenye.He didn't want any factors from himself to disturb his daughter's only student life, so he strictly ordered the government not to reveal Zhenye's identity, so except for Xuan Kuo's old friend, everyone didn't know the whereabouts of the young princess.

Zhenye went to university, made new friends, and had a respected teacher...

Xuan Kuo read Zhenye's letter and was sincerely happy for his daughter.She competes with her classmates every day and looks at the books in the library; she succeeds in being appreciated by Lord Baicao who guards the library before she recommends her; Zhenye finally graduated from university. At the same time, under the guidance of Baicaogong, he broke through the siege and won the examination of a special doctor who only produces one in ten years on average.

Xuan Kuo listened to Chunguan's report, and said to Huai Zhen with a smile on his face: "Call the university to bring Zhenye's articles and theories over the past few years."

Huai Zhen: ...

Chunguan: ...

Xuankuo originally thought that Zhenye would return to the Changxia Palace, but the little girl proposed to go out for a trip.

Xuan Kuo really wanted to go with her and tell her what he had seen and heard in the past few decades along the way, but as a king he couldn't do that.After making all the preparations for Zhenye, he and Huaizhen saw Zhenye off together.

During Zhenye's traveling time, what Xuan Kuo likes most is to listen to rumors about Zhenye from various countries.

As King Li predicted, even without the status of Princess Shun, Zhenye's innate talent makes her dazzling.

Later, Pengshan sent a letter saying that Zhenye's life was hanging by a thread, and Xuankuo had a heart attack on the spot. Fortunately, Zhenye survived in the end, but the appearance would always stay in the cardamom age.

Zhenye finally returned to the Changxia Palace.

So Xuan Kuo began to watch Zhenye and Huai Zhen's endless struggles again, which was Xuan Kuo's greatest pleasure during the boring years of being a king.Even in the meantime, Zhenye, Fanwang, Yanwang, and Yuanchen sometimes had a bit of trouble...

This carefree life lasted for several years, until Huaizhen told him that Zhenye traveled to Penglai.

Xuan Kuo felt the loss of his daughter growing up, but he thought, he is here, and Zhenye will always come back.At that time, he never thought that when Zhenye returned to the Changxia Palace again, he would no longer be there.

……

Huai Zhen lost her way.

It was sudden, but Xuan Kuo felt that he probably knew why.He really doesn't have the ambition or expectation of being a king. Apart from his talents and good temper, he has nothing to do with Yuzuo from head to toe. Moreover, he is more concerned about Zhenye than the whole country.

Xuan Kuo told Huai Zhen that he would go to Pengshan to abdicate at the last moment, and hoped that Huai Zhen would find a new king as soon as possible, so that Zhenye would not have to face a country where demons were rampant once he came back.

Xuan Kuo remembered that he was smiling at that time.

He had hoped that Zhenye would grow day by day, and that Zhenye would never grow up, but no matter what, Zhenye was growing in his own way, and he always wanted to leave the best for Zhenye.

Strange to say, Xuan Kuo actually doesn't like children, otherwise he wouldn't have joined the fairyland as soon as he graduated without any ambition.

But the greatest joy in his life is being Zhenye's father.

Therefore, even though Lieqi was later forced by him to tell the truth that Zhenye is the king, he just lost his temper in Yan's bedroom because of his own powerlessness.

Perhaps there is also a little bit of unwillingness to be denied, but more of it is the worry about Zhenye knowing the truth in the future.

He angrily ordered Huaizhen to take all this into the coffin, but Huaizhen told him that if Zhenye questioned him as a king, he would not be able to deceive Zhenye.

That's why Xuan Kuo was so angry with himself.

——Let Zhenye bear the responsibility of almost killing him after his death. As a father, he cannot forgive himself.It's just a pity that there is nothing he can do.

He also wanted Huaizhen to get Zhenye back, but he lost his way for a long time, and he began to resent Zhenye like a patient, so when his compassion broke out, he ordered Huaizhen not to tell Zhenye no matter what.

He didn't want to show his ugly face in front of Zhenye, after a long separation and before separation.

……

Every night before he abdicated, Xuan Kuo was looking at Zhenye's pen and ink, touching the handicrafts presented to him by Zhenye. He wanted to take them into the coffin, but he couldn't bear to see no traces when Zhenye came back. I put it away and took it, and finally took one or two pieces.

He also went back to Tianguan Mansion and East Palace, and sat for a night in the place where Zhenye used to live...

Before he abdicated, Xuan Kuo said to Huai Zhen, "Take good care of her."

"Lord..."

"It's my fault. I always don't want her to grow up. If I'm not around in the future, if she..." Xuan Kuo choked up his voice, "If possible, don't let her know the truth."

Xuan Kuo knew in his heart that Zhenye was so smart, he would know sooner or later, he only hoped that she would know later, maybe as time passed, she would not miss him so much.

I only hope to achieve my career, and forget myself earlier...
