Chapter 106
With a sullen face, Zhuo Shitian stared at Yu Keren who was standing ten meters away without blinking, feeling bitter in his heart. Could it be that he and her were destined to have no fate?

He gave up her for power 20 years ago, is he going to give up her for the city 20 years later?
Ten cities!

Although the Zhuo Kingdom is still considered prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment under his leadership. Even if there are invaders at the border, they are beaten to death by the generals of the Zhuo Kingdom, so the court has always been very stable.

However, the Zhuo Kingdom is a country with little rain. It is rich in wheaten food, rice grains and aquatic products are not rich, but the Qinglong Kingdom is just the opposite. It is extremely rich.

If you can get the ten cities of Qinglong Kingdom, then you can complement Zhuo Kingdom and make up for the shortcomings of the dry land.

These ten cities are really very tempting!If he disagrees, I believe that the ancestors of the Zhuo family will not spare him.

He raised his head and stared at Yu Keren. When he saw her pale snow-like face, his heart ached slightly.

His lips moved back and forth, but all the words seemed to be blocked in his throat. Reason told him to agree, but emotion made him unwilling to agree.

Finally, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, firm and cold, he met Long Aoyi's mocking and mocking eyes, and said word by word: "Okay!"

it is good!
He actually said yes!
The ministers, ladies and gentlemen all praised in unison, congratulating Zhuo Shitian.

Looking at the heads everywhere, shouting praises, hearing the long live saints, Yu Keren is alone in a corner, as if forgotten...

She just wanted to laugh and cry.

"Ke'er!"

A big hand wrapped her around her, hugged her in his arms, and sighed: "Forget about him, he's really worthless."

"No..." Yu Keren opened his eyes blankly, let the tears flow down, choked up and said: "Luo Yi, I really forgot about him a long time ago, the moment he abandoned me for the throne, I Forget about him, but why does God always play tricks on me?
I want to have a good time with the King of Xiangyang, but he doubts me, slanders me, humiliates me, doesn't even recognize Hua'er, and connives at Luo Luan poisoning Hua'er. Finally came out.

I just want to start over, but why can't I fulfill such a small request?Why is he so cruel and wants to repeat the same mistakes and hurt me again?Am I that annoying?Why?Luo Yi? "

"I'm sorry, it's really my fault. I shouldn't have tempted him with ten cities." Long Aoyi gently wiped away Yu Keren's tears with the back of his hand, and said quietly: "Actually, I am very contradictory. If he refuses, then you may break through that knot and live a happier life. But I hope he accepts, so that I can have you in a fair way. Am I bad? "

"No..." Yu Keren shook his head: "It's none of your business, even if it wasn't you, he would agree to someone else, as long as the price exceeds his psychological price."

Speaking of this, she laughed at herself, "In fact, I have a price position in his heart. If it exceeds that value, I can throw it away at any time."

"Don't say that!" Long Aoyi pressed her into his arms, and said distressedly: "In my heart, you are priceless, no matter what I will not change, even if it is my life!"

"Luo Yi..." Yu Keren looked at him blankly, tears fell like rain, and she choked, "Why? Why are you so kind to me? I don't deserve it. I'm so old, and I have a son!"

"Fool, you deserve it. You deserve the best in the world. I'm older than you, and my son is very good. It just saves me raising my own son. You know, children are very annoying!"

Yu Keren cried even harder. Luo Yi loved children the most. In the past 20 years as her guard, Hua'er was almost brought up by him. How could he not like children?

He was comforting her.

But it was because of this that she couldn't hurt him!She couldn't selfishly agree to Luo Yi because her emotions had no sustenance, because he deserved better!
Thinking of this, her heart hardened, and she tremblingly said: "But I don't love you!"

The body was so stiff that it was only fleeting, and then Long Aoyi said softly: "That must be because I am not good enough, I will work hard, try to do better to make you fall in love with me!"

"Luo Yi..." Yu Keren opened her foggy eyes, not knowing what to say. This man moved her, made her feel at ease, and made her always rely on him, but suddenly he changed from the closest person to The closest person, she still finds it hard to accept.

More importantly, she is not worthy!
He is the new emperor of Qinglong Kingdom!No matter how naive and ignorant she is, she still knows that it took him such a short time to change from a hidden guard of the Zhuo Kingdom to the king of a country, and how many difficulties and obstacles he has to go through. How can she spend it with peace of mind at the moment of life and death? The glory he bought with his life? !
"No, I can't promise you, it's not fair to you! Luo Yi, forget about me!"

She resolutely pushed him away, turned around and walked towards Zhuo Shitian.

Those loud praises, those hypocritical faces, and those gloating expressions could no longer affect her.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that she was strong, for the sake of the person she wanted to protect, her son...her Luo Yi...

Her eyes met Zhuo Qihua's encouraging eyes, and she smiled softly.

Her Hua'er is the one who understands her best and will always respect her choice.

She just walked towards the high position made of bones with a fairy-like aura.

The crowd seemed to feel her unique aura, and the lively atmosphere just now suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at her in amazement, and quietly watched her step by step towards the high position...

Zhuo Shitian also looked at her with complicated eyes. He had a panoramic view of the scene where she and Long Aoyi were cuddling each other just now. At that moment, strong anger and jealousy rose in his chest. There is something to do with it, but he still foolishly thinks how loyal she is!
I even felt ashamed of my decision and became hesitant!It turned out that they had hooked up a long time ago!

No wonder Long Aoyi was willing to exchange ten cities for her!
He shot her coldly with reproach.

Finally, she stopped ten steps away from him, her gaze became clear and distant.

"Your Majesty." She paused, then stretched out her hand, revealing a string of plain beads on her wrist.

"This is a string of beads made by the emperor himself 20 years ago. When he gave this string of beads to his wife, he once said that he would protect his wife well in this life, but his wife was not blessed enough to accept it. Today, he returned it to the emperor. From then on, If you meet and don’t know each other, the opposite is a stranger!”

Her voice was calm and without any ripples, it was as calm as an ancient Sanskrit voice, without any emotion.

Zhuo Shitian stared at the string of beads in a daze, the vows he made in the past are still in his ears, but he has betrayed her many times...

His heart ached suddenly and sharply... Could it be that he was going to lose her forever?

Thinking of this ending, his heart throbbed fiercely, the pain was so cold that even his bones and blood were cold. Even though she married Xiangyang King, he still believed that she would always love him, and he still existed in her heart.

But now...

She doesn't seem to love him anymore, he has withdrawn from her life forever...

No, he doesn't want to!He doesn't leave her.

His lips moved, and his hand stretched out, but it was only half way out, and he held it tightly again. What position does he have to keep her?
She picked up the beads and moved lightly in the lotus steps, the skirt rolled like waves, as if a fairy came jumping on the waves.

The beads missed his hand and went towards his feet.

It turned out that she didn't even want to pass him by...

Pain, momentary stagnation of breathing.

Gently, the beads were placed at Zhuo Shitian's feet, and the body stood up straight, smiling sweetly.

The beautiful face seemed to be floating with the light of the holy dust. At that moment, it was as if the moon was rising from the valley, with a noble beauty and a haughty coldness.

After laughing, she straightened her spine and said lightly: "The pearl has been returned to the king, you can discard it or destroy it!"

After throwing out these words coldly, she turned around resolutely and strode towards Long Aoyi.

Smiling softly: "Do you know that you should obey your father at home, and obey yourself when you remarry? I have already divorced, and even the emperor can't influence my marriage. Your ten-year-old flower has been wronged."

Long Aoyi smiled warmly, and said affectionately: "As long as it's you, you will trade the world for the sake of not being wronged."

Yu Keren's eyes were slightly wet, and he said loudly: "Although you don't feel wronged, what's yours is mine. How can I let you spend ten cities in vain!"

Turning around again, facing Zhuo Shitian, he said: "Your Majesty, the Zhuo Dynasty has always had a decree that remarried women can do whatever they want. Just now in the hall, all the people heard that the emperor promised his wife to remarry with the King of Xiangyang. , Your Majesty is not joking, I don't know if this is true or not?"

"you……"

Zhuo Shitian looked at Yu Keren in amazement, and couldn't believe that she would say this. Could it be that she wanted to...

No, no, she won't do that, even if he is no longer the one she loves, but Zhuo Kingdom is her mother country, doesn't she think about her mother country at all?

And Zhuo Qihua, he has always loved Zhuo Qihua so much that many people even thought that he would pass the throne to Zhuo Qihua. Doesn't she want to fight for more land for her son?

She watched his ever-changing expression and smiled contemptuously, even though he still couldn't forget the calculation at this time.

Did he think that pampering Hua'er could make her compromise?In fact, there is a method called flattery!

As for Hua'er, she did not doubt that he liked Hua'er, but she never wanted to pass on the throne to Hua'er!

She also knows that his feelings for Hua'er are complicated, and she is worried that Hua'er is his son and afraid that he is not his son. The dream of wealth and honor, but only one thing, that is, the throne will never be passed on to Hua'er!
His kindness to Hua'er was only for himself!In order to make up for his guilt towards her, he thought that this would give his conscience permanent peace.

dream!

Could it be that he wants to destroy her Hua'er if he wants to get peace?Do you want to raise Hua'er into a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and play?Is this compensation or harm?
Fortunately, Hua'er was picked up by Luo Yi since she was a child, no, she will be called Long Aoyi in the future, fortunately Hua'er grew up with Long Aoyi, and learned all of Long Aoyi's methods, so she was able to grow up so proudly and not She hid it from the eyes of everyone in the world, including the eyes of this man who claimed to love her as much as his life!
She sneered, why did this conceited man believe that she would still be waiting for him at the same place?The moment she married the King of Xiangyang, she decided to have nothing to do with him.

It's just that the King of Xiangyang... ultimately failed her.

"What? Does the emperor want to tell you what to say?"

Her tone suddenly changed, becoming aggressive, and she was no longer a gentle and pleasant little white rabbit.

Zhuo Shitian was amazed by her change, and heartbroken by her change. She has always been so dependent on him, even though her temper is straightforward and innocent, she never speaks in a hurtful tone, but now she reprimands him, even with a sarcasm tone...

Changed, really changed, she changed, but the person who made her change was not himself, but the man named Long Aoyi.

Zhuo Shitian was angry, anxious, angry and jealous, his eyes fixed on Yu Keren, concealing a warning.

But Yu Keren looked at him without blinking, and the eyes of the two collided in the air...

His strength, her firmness!
His overbearing, her bravery!
He gradually begged, but she scoffed!
Finally, meeting her clear eyes with autumn water as a god and ice and snow as rhyme, as if to reveal all his ugly thoughts in it, he looked away in embarrassment.

He looked at Zhuo Qihua, hoping that Zhuo Qihua could rescue him.

Zhuo Qihua walked forward with a slight smile and said, "Uncle Emperor, just now you personally promised my mother to reconcile with the King of Xiangyang, and please let the emperor do it without any jokes!"

"You..." Zhuo Shitian glared at Zhuo Qihua angrily, is this kid here to make trouble?
Zhuo Lingyun immediately said: "My cousin's words are wrong. The reason why my father agreed is because my aunt forced me to agree. In fact, I would rather demolish ten temples than destroy my family. How could my father agree?" What about Heli?"

"Oh? Are you sure?"

Zhuo Lingyun's heart skipped a beat, with an ominous premonition, but no matter what, if the King of Xiangyang is not allowed to reconcile, then the ten cities may still enter the territory of the Zhuo clan. If he does this, I believe that the emperor will treat him Impressive.

He said forcefully, "Naturally!"

"Okay, everyone has to hear what the fourth prince said, that the emperor's uncle actually doesn't want my mother to reconcile with the King of Xiangyang. Don't you know that the emperor's uncle also thinks so?"

Zhuo Shitian had a gloomy face and did not speak.

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Zhuo Shizi's gourd.

At this time, Zhuo Qihua said coldly: "Then my nephew has something to ask the emperor uncle. Since you don't approve of my mother's reconciliation with the King of Xiangyang, or even their reconciliation, then my mother She is still the concubine of the King of Xiangyang, why did you promise to exchange my mother and the Dragon Emperor for ten cities? Could it be that the emperor of the Zhuo Clan has a habit of forcing married women to remarry for the sake of cities?"

"Zhuo Qihua!"

Zhuo Shi blew his beard and stared, slammed the table hard and said, "What are you talking about?"

Zhuo Qihua calmly said: "Why is my nephew talking nonsense? Isn't it all said by your fourth prince? My nephew is just inferring according to common sense, what? Emperor uncle, what did my nephew say wrong?"

"..." Zhuo Shitian was very annoyed, this is true!It's just that he didn't understand it!
It's because he spoiled this kid, but he caught his fault in public and didn't give him face.

If he does not recognize the reconciliation of King Xiangyang and his wife now, then he has no right to exchange Yu Keren for the city, but even if he admits it, he still has no right to exchange Yu Keren for the city if he remarries.

In short, after all he said, it was impossible for him to get ten cities.

For a moment, he was out of breath, seeing that Shicheng was about to become the Zhuo family's, but suddenly disappeared, which made him more sad than ever.

"Your Majesty..." Tao Zhizhang lightly tugged on Zhuo Shitian's sleeve and said, "It's hard to follow a sage's words, let alone a sage's words."

Zhuo Shitian glared at her impatiently, and said angrily, "I don't know yet?"

Seeing that Zhuo Shitian couldn't bear to throw away the fat in his mouth, Tao Zhizhang thought about it for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I have a way to keep you from breaking your trust, and to be able to keep your promise." You can win a city, but if you can't get one city from ten cities?"

As soon as Zhuo Shitian's eyes lit up, even a city is fine, it's better than nothing.

He nodded slightly.

Tao Zhizhang winked at Zhuo Qihua, and then said: "Madam Yu's parents are dead, and there is no one else in the family. Why don't the emperor recognize her as a righteous sister, that is the status of a princess. Princesses have always been married and married, and other countries want to use her. One city is exchanged, so the emperor won one city?"

That's right, Zhuo Shitian's eyes lit up, this is really a good way.

But when he thought that once he recognized Yu Keren as his righteous sister, he would really have nothing to do with Yu Keren from now on, and his heart ached again.

But no matter how painful it is, he will always put the interests of the court first.He took a long breath and said to Long Ao: "Dragon Emperor, I have promised Madam Yu to reconcile with the King of Xiangyang before, but Madam Yu and I grew up together, and the relationship between childhood sweethearts is unusual. Marrying you as a woman may cause the people of Qinglong Kingdom to dislike her. So I decided to recognize her as my righteous sister and make her Princess Yicheng."

Long Ao nodded and said: "Thank you Emperor Zhuo for being considerate, but the lonely woman Gu will naturally cherish her and will never let anyone give her anger. Since Emperor Zhuo intends to recognize her as a righteous sister, Gu can't either. I don't know the etiquette, and I am willing to use a city adjacent to the Zhuo Kingdom as an appointment, with a hundred boxes of pearls, a thousand boxes of gold and silver, from the border to the capital to lay the red carpet, and spend money all the way to marry Princess Yicheng, what does the Zhuo Emperor think?"

Zhuo Shitian looked at Yu Keren, finally nodded and said in pain, "Yes!"

Long Aoyi smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Ke'er, whether you want to marry me or not, just listen to me this time."

Tears welled up in Yu Ke'er's eyes, and she nodded. At this moment, she felt relieved, she was finally... free.

It's just that she still cost Long Aoyi a city.

Long Aoyi patted her hand and said: "Don't feel bad, your husband won't do business at a loss!"

Yu Keren blushed, this person, who said just now that he would not force her, even claimed to be a gentleman in a blink of an eye, Long Aoyi has changed too much in just a few months, and she dare not admit it .

"Zhuo Emperor..."

"Dragon Emperor, please speak."

"How about taking Jingcheng, which is connected to the east of Zhuo Kingdom, as a dowry gift?"

When Zhuo Shitian heard this, he was inexplicably surprised, he was going to ask for a good city, but Long Aoyi was a straightforward person, and he directly took Jingcheng as a betrothal gift, which was beyond his expectation.

It's just that Long Aoyi is as cunning and cruel as a wolf, how could he be so kind as to take the initiative to give up a good city?
The city is well connected in all directions, and it is in business with all countries. It is located in the main roads of entry of various countries. Just collecting customs duties is a very considerable income, not counting commercial taxes. It is simply a big fat sheep , has long been watched by the eyes of all countries, but due to the strength of the Qinglong Kingdom, they have been only daring to be greedy and dare not take actual actions.

Zhuo Shitian thought for a long time, but couldn't find any signs of conspiracy, so he nodded and said: "That's very good."

Long Ao said with a smile: "It's good that Emperor Zhuo agrees, this city is also alone to show Emperor Zhuo's determination to love and love people."

There was obviously a sense of sarcasm in these words, Zhuo Shitian was slightly embarrassed, pretending that he hadn't heard it, and said with a smile: "Come, come, come, Dragon Emperor, I offer you a toast, I wish you and my two kingdoms will last forever! "

"Okay, do it!"

Long Ao raised his glass and drank it down.

All of a sudden, there was a lively scene of toasting and toasting again, only the King of Xiangyang kept drinking glass after glass of wine, and he became drunk after a while.

He staggered outside...

Zhuo Qihua's eyes flickered slightly, and an evil smile flashed in his eyes.

Tao Zhijian's lips tugged lightly, this guy is going to hurt someone again.

"emperor!"

"What's the matter with Tao Aiqing?"

Taoju was just thinking about what he had heard by accident just now, and his heart was agitated for a while, and he even stammered a little: "Emperor... Your Majesty... Jingcheng and Fengcheng have always been connected. At first they were the fiefdoms of the princes of Qinglong Kingdom, but Because of the tariff issue, there have always been criticisms, but because it is a land under the jurisdiction of one country, it is safe under the strong suppression of the Dragon Emperor. Now the Dragon Emperor has given Jingcheng to the Zhuo Kingdom, but Fengcheng is still Qinglong Kingdom. , I'm afraid..."

Zhuo Shitian was overjoyed. Is this a good excuse to include Fengcheng as the territory of Zhuo Kingdom?

He pretended to look at Long Ao in embarrassment and said, "Dragon Emperor, I don't know if this is true? If it is true, this mirror city is not easy for our Zhuo Kingdom to accept!"

Long Aoyi didn't hide anything but said straightforwardly: "It's true, but Fengcheng has always been very humid, and the city lord of Fengcheng also suffers from rheumatism. In fact, he wanted to move out of Fengcheng a long time ago, but Qinglong Capital It is a country of water and water, and wherever it is moved, it will be wet and heavy, so it has not been able to find a suitable fief to replace it with him. If Emperor Zhuo is willing to exchange a dry land with the city lord of Fengcheng, Gu believes that the city lord of Fengcheng will definitely With great pleasure."

Zhuo Shitian's eyes flickered slightly, and he said tentatively: "I don't know where the Dragon Emperor wants to change?"

"Hehe, it's not that Gu wants to change some place, but what kind of landlord the city lord of Fengcheng wants to change. When he came here, Gu had summoned him, and he had talked with Gu, but he just wanted to change to a land that was about the same size as the original land. A dry place with mountains and soil is enough, because he lacks soil in his life, so as long as there is a lot of soil, I believe he will be tempted."

"How about my Zhuo Clan's Tucheng?"

"Tucheng? Where is that?"

"Tucheng is not far from Fengcheng, about a thousand miles apart. It is named Tucheng because of the abundance of soil. There are more cities there than Fengcheng. I don't know what Dragon Emperor wants?"

"This...Rong Gu discusses with the city lord of Fengcheng!"

Zhuo Shitian anxiously said: "Although it is said that the fief was granted to the princes, the Dragon Emperor has the right to take it back. Right now, he is just giving him another place and still enfeoffing him as a marquis. What else is there to discuss? Is the Dragon Emperor even responsible for this? No way? This makes me feel at ease to entrust my righteous sister to you?"

"Okay, change it!"

As if he couldn't bear the excitement, Long Aoyi jumped up against the crime.

Zhuo Shitian was overjoyed, and immediately asked someone to send a map, and asked the clerk to draw up two contracts. After the two people read it correctly, they both stamped the jade seal.

When Long Aoyi took over the contract, a sly smile flashed across his eyes, he pulled Yu Keren past him, and said in a low voice, "Keren, now you don't have to feel bad about the one hundred and one thousand boxes of gold and silver treasures. There's a gold mine under the city!"

Yu Keren was startled at first, but he was relieved when he thought of Long Aoyi's deceitfulness on weekdays.

She smiled sweetly at Long Aoyi, almost turning Long Aoyi into a wolf. His Adam's apple moved secretly, and his voice was hoarse: "Ke'er, don't laugh like that, I won't be able to bear it!"

Yu Keren blushed and lowered her head.

When Zhuo Shitian saw it, his face became extremely gloomy, and the joy of gaining the territory seemed irreparable.

"Come here, serve the wine!" He yelled, obviously angry.

Everyone drank again tremblingly, when suddenly a little eunuch rushed in: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"Bastard, Yu Jia dared to be so unruly before, come here, pull this little eunuch down and cut him down!"

After Eunuch Li shouted angrily, a group of eunuchs rushed up like wolves and tigers.

The little eunuch was scared out of his wits and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Xiangyang Wang Qiang broke into the dungeon, and... and... and..."

"With what?" Zhuo Shitian said angrily.

"Being in prison with the former Romani... have fun..."
