A eunuch took a wine pot into the glazed hall. When he poured wine for the new Emperor Huanan Xin, he quietly gave a look.

Huanan Xin understood what he meant. He looked at the girl and said with a flattering smile,

"Yunxi, I'm so happy that you can come to dinner with me. Enjoy your meal."

The girl looked calm and said coldly,

"I'm not hungry. His Majesty, please let the singers and dancers out. I have something to say to you."

Huanan Xin was a little surprised. He didn't answer. He just got up, waved his sleeves, and asked the imperial bodyguards and dancers to leave the hall.

For a long time, the wide hall was quiet. Time and all things were like dead. It was a little scary to be quiet like that.

The girl looked around. She looked at the flickering candles on a nearby copper crane platform.

After waiting for a long time, Huanan Xin didn't see the girl speak. He looked embarrassed and went to the girl's desk and whispered,

"Yunxi."

She didn't seem to hear it. Her charming face reflected the fire of the candle. She was cold and gorgeous, like a fairy.

The night wind passed through the hall.

He sighed softly, his eyes flashing with obsession. His white fingers with sweetgum aroma approached the girl's face inch by inch in silence.

Suddenly the girl looked at him, which forced him to stop halfway.

His face was quite red with embarrassment. Huanan Xin hurriedly looked down on the table, grabbed a handful of cherries, held them to her, and said pleasantly,

"Yunxi, enjoy the fruit and make yourself absolutely at home. You can't sit here all night without eating."

The girl finally looked up at him with a sad smile and said,

"His Majesty, you don't need to do this. You are already a noble emperor. The whole world is yours. You don't have to live by pretending to be a fool."

After her ruthless words, Huanan Xin's face turned pale.

His hands holding cherries were frozen in the air, and his arms seemed to turn into leads. The weight made his upper body unable to move at will.

"You and I used to have such a good relationship. I didn't expect us to become strangers now. Yunxi, can't we go back?"

Gu Yunxi got up slowly and kept looking at Huanan Xin's eyes.

Her innocent and bright eyes were like wearing a mask at the moment, which hid her real emotion.

The young man in her memory still stood in front of her with a smiling face, but his smile was no longer simple or straightforward.

He used to be lonely and helpless. In such a big but cold deep palace, even if he was bullied, he would only laugh innocently and warmly. The happiest moment of his day was to see her and beg for delicious food around her.

Now such a man had become an emperor. He was rich in clothes and food, had great power, and controlled the lives of all the people in the world.

The girl closed her eyes in pain and couldn't bear the torture of memories.

Gu Yunxi was not afraid of loneliness, but in any case, she couldn't stand being deceived.

"Master Leng had made great contributions to Da Yi. You can't wait to kill him just after the war in Southern Jiang."

Her heart was torn again, and she held her fist in pain.

Huanan Xin shook his head eagerly and argued cunningly,

"No, you must not believe the rumor. Master Leng's fleet encountered a shipwreck when they came back. You think, I just ascended the throne. How can I indiscriminately kill the heroes of the country?"

Gu Yunxi looked at his flashing eyes and smiled sarcastically,

"What about Duke Min? You should know that he is the biological father of Sister Yunyao. You also know the relationship between Sister Yunyao and me. Why did you poison the Min Family?"

"Yunxi..."

The repeated questioning made Huanan Xin unable to resist. He shrunk his neck and dodged his eyes, deliberately avoiding contact with the girl.

"I... I did this because I like you. Yunxi, I... I just want to be with you!"

"Then why did you kill Lanxin? Did you kill her because you liked me?"

"Well..."

Huanan Xin was completely speechless and spread out his hands.

Gu Yunxi's face looked bleak, and tears hovered in her decadent eyes.

"You've been deceiving and using people who really treat you. You said Lanxin was killed by the mask face, but you're also deceiving me. You killed Lanxin. You have Kungfu, so you can go in and out of the Yongning Palace of Noble Concubine Wan freely, right?"

"..."

Behind the bead curtain of the secret Pavilion, the young man was angry instantly. He rubbed his warm fingers back and forth on the exposed collarbone of the beauty in his arms, looked straight at the man in the Dragon Robe, and whispered,

"What a waste!"

When he saw the beautiful girl with tears in her eyes, Huanan Xin's expression was obviously abnormal immediately. He took out his veil tremblingly, but he didn't dare to wipe the girl's tear. His submissive appearance looked very uncomfortable.

"Yunxi, don't cry..."

Huanan Xin bowed close to the crying girl. His voice was gentle and feminine, which made people uncomfortable.

"Oh, you're crying so much that my heart is breaking. Listen to me, don't be afraid in the future. I've planned your future life for you long ago."

Gu Yunxi stood straight. It felt as if her eyes were enveloped in a thick fog and no longer shone as before.

Although she wanted to cry, she couldn't shed a tear. It seemed that her heart was already numb to the extreme. Even if she was split by a sharp axe, blood gushed out, and dyed her clothes, she could not feel a trace of pain.

For her, the laughter, friendship, relatives, and love in the past were like sand and wind that could not be retained, which were destined to leave her.

Behind the bead curtain, the young man quietly looked at the dreamy figure and saw the bright candle sprinkled on her thin back.

Seeing her delicate body shaking uncontrollably, his heart hurt.

The beauty in his arms noticed that the man's attention had been attracted by something and became unhappy in an instant.

Her bare arm was gently intertwined with the man's back neck, and she took the initiative to kiss him with her red lips.

Suddenly, the man became fierce and pushed her out. Then he moved his fingers and slap the woman mercilessly in her face.

"His Majesty, forgive me."

After being beaten, the woman instantly became frightened. She crawled on the ground and kowtowed constantly.

The man put his index finger up and stuck it on his lips to signal her to silence.

The woman hurriedly covered her mouth. Seeing the man smiling, she mistakenly thought he still liked her. She was immediately surprised and smiled, passing the sexiest temptation to the man on the throne.

However, a eunuch implied by the man rushed behind the woman and broke her neck in the blink of an eye the next.

The woman's body fell to the ground, and a trace of blood spilled out of her mouth and nose. She stared at the man on the throne with wide eyes, as if she was unwilling and complaining that she couldn't close her eyes after her death.

The man's expression was as silent as usual and said to the eunuch calmly,

"Drag the b*tch out quietly and feed the dog."

Gu Yunxi focused all her attention on Huanan Xin. Naturally, she was not very clear about what happened in the secret little Pavilion behind her.

The girl's continuous questioning made Huanan Xin completely flustered. He would only smile at her awkwardly all the time.

Gu Yunxi bit her teeth and bumped into his arms.

The tall man was obviously shocked and stunned.

After a while, he hesitated and slowly put his arms around her shoulders, gently pressed her head with his five fingers, and spoke to her in a soft voice,

"From now on, you will be my woman. I will never treat you badly."

At this time, the man on the throne suddenly saw a cold light across the bead curtain. In an instant, the sword reached the back of Huanan Xin.

The man's pupils were dilated. He didn't get up. He turned his right hand into a blade and hit it straight.

The thick internal force split off the bead curtain and went straight to the man and woman. In an instant, beads splashed all over the ground.

The two person were violently shaken away and flew a hundred steps away and hit the pillars with cloud patterns.

The noise startled the accompanying Royal Guards. They rushed into the hall and surrounded them.

"Murderers must die, I will make you pay for your action in blood."

Gu Yunxi suffered from internal injuries. As long as she moved slightly, she vomited a mouthful of blood.

She still refused to give up. Holding the dagger, she climbed to Huanan Xin step by step with a bitter look.

Huanan Xin was lying on the ground. Seeing the sharp dagger in the girl's hand, he was scared and trembled, and couldn't help roaring,

"Ah, she has a dagger. She has a dagger! She wants to assassinate me. Somebody help me!"

Two guards came forward and dragged Huanan Xin outside the hall imperatively.

The young man walked out of the pavilion with a cold face and muttered to himself,

"D*mn it, Ronghou screwed up everything tonight! What's the matter with Yunxi? With her Kungfu, she shouldn't be hurt..."

A guard trotted forward and knelt down in front of the man.

He said, "His Majesty, someone outside brought something and insisted that he must see you and tell you something secret."

"Who is so arrogant? The emperor can't be seen by ordinary people."

Next to the man, the old eunuch waved the horsetail whisk and scolded with a sharp voice.

The guard raised his hands over his head and presented the object in his hands to the young man in a robe.

The man glanced at the eunuch. The eunuch understood and took the object and handed it to the man.

It was a half-moon jade of fine quality, about the size of a palm. It was green and warm, the above engraving pattern of Fu Lin graphics lifelike. The Kylin patterns carved on the jade were vivid.

On a yellow fringe tied with jade was a round and rare Black Pearl of South Asia, glowing in the dim light of a candle.

"Hiss!"

The man clenched the jade and immediately frowned with aggressive eyes,

"It was him!"
