The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 56 I Will Not Wait For You

"What's so strange about this?" Shen Shuning said, "King Zuoxian has been fighting for the throne with the current emperor Anhuai for many years, and he will not give up now. If he is married to Daxia, it will be a great strength for the emperor. King Zuo Xian has always been despicable and short-sighted, and he did something like this to break the emperor's wings... Emperor, are you surprised?"

Each cold word was like a sharp dagger, cutting into his heart and cutting off his flesh and blood piece by piece.

Shen Xiao stepped back in a daze and fell down on the chair, "I thought that Anhuai, who has internal and external troubles, would never offend me, Xia Chao, and would definitely treat her well."

"As long as the Xia Dynasty is strong, no one will bully her or humiliate her..."

He suddenly remembered that on the eve of their wedding, she said with tears, you will regret it, you will.

But he also vowed that in this life, he has never regretted it.

Shen Xiao covered his head with splitting headache with both hands.My mind was filled with the image of her crying in grievance, which I couldn't get rid of.

She was such a cheerful woman and never had any worries, so why did she end up like this?

Shen Shuning looked at his appearance. If it were in the past, she would probably feel sorry for her brother. But at this moment, she remembered the three years when she mistakenly thought Qingyue was dead, and she just wanted to make it up again.

In those three years, she was awakened by nightmares countless times, dreaming of the tragic scorched corpse, and drank to drown her guilt countless times.

And her good brother obviously only needed to tell her "Jiang Qingyue is not dead" to save her from torture, but he refused to say a word and hid it from her for three years.

Shen Shuning said coldly: "Are you satisfied now? There really is no more Jiang Qingyue in the world."

Shen Xiao raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"go out."

Shen Shuning refused to leave and continued to add fuel to his fire: "You are always self-righteous, and you are right. Now that you are the emperor, you can naturally cover the sky with one hand. Now you can really cover the sky with one hand. Not to mention Qingyue's current fate, she In the days since you returned to the palace, have you ever treated her kindly?"

"That's enough," Shen Xiao didn't want to hear anymore, "Stop talking."

It's not that he meant to treat her badly, it was just that he couldn't let her be too conspicuous before the time came.Finally he was confident and slowly wanted to bring her to the front, but she...

"She hated you until she died." Shen Shuning said, "You convicted her father, you caused her to be looked down upon by the world, and you made her die in a foreign land, unable to return to her hometown. Shen Xiao, she once believed in you wholeheartedly, I also begged you as humbly as mud, but all you gave her was eternal damnation."

Jiang Qingyue begged him twice. The first time was three years ago, begging him to save his father, and the second time was a month ago, begging him not to agree to the marriage...

But he didn't agree at all.Not only did he not agree, he also humiliated her for doing what a brothel girl did.

Shen Xiao's eyes were about to burst, and his voice was as hoarse as gravel: "Sister Huang, do you hate me so much?"

It had been like this three years ago. Even though everything she did was still towards him, she never spared him the words she said.

"How can I not hate it?" Shen Shuning moved his eyes away and looked out of the palace from a distance, "You betrayed her and you betrayed me. Shen Xiao, is it really interesting to be this lonely person?"

Shen Xiao's head was in great pain and he was getting more and more dizzy. He closed his eyes tightly, but some scenes from four years ago appeared in front of him for no reason.

It was he who hesitated outside Jiang Mansion's Zhumen, not knowing how to tell Jiang Qingyue about the postponement of the marriage.

He was still standing beside the stone lion at the door, and Jiang Qingyue walked out briskly.

"My servant said you were here, but I was still wondering. Why didn't you come in but wanted me to come out to invite you?"

He followed her into the hall in silence. Seeing his embarrassed expression, Jiang Qingyue dismissed the servant and asked him again: "What's wrong?"

Shen Xiao finally said: "Father is seriously ill, please slow down our marriage."

Jiang Qingyue was stunned and confused. "He is seriously ill, shouldn't we have a big wedding?"

She was particularly looking forward to this wedding. She didn't care much at first, but she personally took care of her own wedding dress. She even spent several days thinking about the layout of Jiang Mansion on the wedding day.

What's more, if an elder in the family is seriously ill, happy events should be put on the agenda to make the elders happy, which also means to celebrate. This is the case among people.

How come it doesn't work when I get to them?
Shen Xiao didn't know how to explain it, so he just said to her: "All the princes are showing their filial piety in front of the bed, and I only care about getting married. This is outrageous."

"He has so many princes, does he need you to show his filial piety?"

After Jiang Qingyue said the words, she felt that her words were about to hurt people's hearts, and she quickly coaxed him: "That's not what I meant. It's just that many fortune tellers said that if we don't get married on this day, our fate in this life will be over."

She didn't believe in gods and Buddhas at first, but her father attached great importance to her marriage and invited many fortune tellers to predict the matter. Coincidentally, everyone agreed.Even if she didn't believe it, she somewhat believed it.

At that time, he looked into her confused eyes and said firmly: "No, our marriage is just on hold. Don't think about it."

"You have to believe me. I won't marry you unless I marry you." He raised his three fingers and swore to the sky. "If not, I will be punished to die alone and no one will treat me sincerely."

Jiang Qingyue liked his serious look, stood up on tiptoes and pecked him quickly on the lips.

"I believe it!"

Later, it was a few days before he ascended the throne.

Under the peach blossom tree outside Fangfei Hall, her face was a little desolate: "So you don't want to marry me because you want to be the emperor. How much more should an emperor marry a woman with an innocent family background?"

He moved his lips and looked into her ashen eyes, speechless.

She continued: "In that case, you shouldn't have provoked me in the first place. Why did you provoke me? Now I have become the laughing stock of the entire Jinling City."

A tear fell from the corner of her eye, but it was just a drop. She raised her hand to wipe it away and smiled at him sincerely.

"Congratulations, His Majesty the new emperor."

Shen Xiao finally spoke and said hoarsely: "I don't want you. If you wait a little longer, I will marry you."

"When?"

"……I have no idea."

He really doesn't know when he can become the real emperor.But he never thought about not marrying her.

Under the peach blossom tree, Jiang Qingyue's arms came from his waist and hugged him gently.

She took the initiative to embrace her, and Shen Xiao's anxious heart was mostly settled. He put his hand on her back and pushed away the broken hair from her forehead with the other hand. He kissed her lightly on her smooth forehead and said passionately: "In this life I will never let you down. One day, I will give you the best in the world. I will give you whatever you want."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Xiao continued: "There is only one Jiang Qingyue in this world who has moved Shen Xiao's heart. Even if I can't give you the position of queen, you are the only concubine I love."

Jiang Qingyue left his embrace, took a step back, and smiled, as bright as the sun behind her.

"The road to an emperor is always difficult and lonely. Since you have chosen this road, you must walk on it firmly and be a wise king who will be remembered forever."

"But I don't want to be your beloved concubine."

"I'm here to say goodbye to you today. I won't wait for you, not even for a day."
