Chapter 3
He was young and promising, and was worshiped as the Prime Minister of a country at the age of 16.She is as cold as ice, although she is a woman, she is the lord of a country.

When we first met, he was fourteen and she was sixteen.

That year, he was delighted to win the first prize, and entered the hall to face the saint.Her originally slightly nervous heart suddenly calmed down when she heard the cold "flat body".

He couldn't help but look up and observe her carefully.Although the person on the throne was cold and expressionless, he felt that she must be pretty when she smiled... Thinking about it, his heart beat faster.

And she also looked at him, the man was as docile as jade, and he won the first prize at the age of fourteen, which made her believe that he would have great achievements in the future.Perhaps, you can use it for yourself.

After that incident, he successfully became a seventh-rank official and began to work harder for the court, in order to get closer to her and share some burdens for her.Every time he saw her, he always felt a burst of satisfaction.

As for her, she also seemed to be close to him unintentionally, just because he could work harder for her.

That year, envoys from various countries came to pay tribute, and he was specially approved by her as a special envoy to entertain the envoys from various countries.In fact, he had already guessed that the envoys of various countries would not be so simple, they just wanted to make her country look bad by the name of paying tribute.

Naturally, he would not let them be proud, so he tried his best to block the difficulties that the countries made time and time again.He even made envoys from various countries happily make an agreement with him to pay tribute to her country's rare treasures every year.

It was also this time that all the courtiers looked at him with admiration, and even she, who was always as cold as ice, rarely praised him.Facing her admiration, he blushed unexpectedly.

Soon after, he was named Prime Minister of the country, under one person and above ten thousand people.She hosted a banquet for him in the palace, and while drinking and drinking, she saw him looking a little drunk, and thinking of the efforts he had made for herself, her heart actually showed a little affection...

Later, the barbarians came to invade, and the whole country, no one was willing to lead troops to fight.She was so angry that she slapped the table and dismissed several generals on the spot.Suddenly, she thought of him, he should be willing to go for her.

So, she declared that she would go to fight against the barbarians in person.As expected, he stood up, asked to lead the army to fight, and begged himself to stay.She pretended not to agree, but he pressed on every step of the way, and she agreed at the last moment.

Although she intentionally asked him to lead the battle on her behalf, she also hoped in her heart that he would return safely and triumphantly.

The night before the expedition, he drank some wine, came to the harem, and met her.He hugged her while drinking, and said all the love in his heart. He said that he would protect her with everything he had; he said that he would never let her get hurt; he said that he would Love her……

And after she was dazed for a while, she suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and pushed him away who was holding her tightly.There was a sense of alienation on her face, as if nothing had happened.

He smiled wryly, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, but the moment he turned around, a line of clear tears flowed down his face.

On the second day, he packed everything up, as if nothing had happened, and went to the front line.

The war went on for a whole year and finally ended with her country victorious.During this year, he still thinks about her and misses her.And she, who was far away in the palace, was always worried about his safety.

On the day she returned to the capital, she went out to pick him up, and the two saw each other from afar.She, who was always as cold as ice, actually smiled at him.

He was ecstatic, and wanted to rush up and ask her if she liked him too, but he remained unmoved on his face.

After the court, he couldn't help following her, wanting to tell how he missed her this year.But at the next moment, he was stunned by her words.

She said that she was going to marry someone who was the prince of a neighboring country, and when he ascended the throne in the future, the two countries would be able to merge.Her tone was light, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

He looked up to the sky and laughed, smiled and laughed, then cried, and stumbled out of the palace.I even forgot how to get back.

And he didn't know that the moment he left, her tears had already flowed like rain, unstoppable.Yes, she found that she also fell in love with him who silently paid for her, but as the king of a country, she had to think about her subjects...

After returning to the mansion that day, he drank in the mansion every day.Sometimes, while drinking, the tears will always flow down uncontrollably, and it seems that no matter how much you wipe it, you can't wipe it dry.And he didn't care about it, he still drank, fell asleep when he was drunk, and continued to drink when he woke up.

In a few days, he looked much older...

He finally stopped drinking until her wedding day.Instead, after tidying up and making myself feel refreshed, I put on white clothes and headed to the palace.

On the side of the palace, just after she and the prince of the neighboring country finished paying homage, the prince's relatives actually started attacking the guards of the palace.

At this time, all the true colors of the matter were finally revealed.Because all of this is just a conspiracy planned by neighboring countries to annex her country.

The prince of the neighboring country beside her also drew out a knife at the moment after worshiping, and stabbed her fiercely. Before she could hide in the future, a figure stood in front of her.

"Pu Chi", that was the sound of a knife piercing into flesh and blood, and a large area of ​​that white clothes was dyed red forcibly.

With all his strength, he kicked down the prince of the neighboring country, pulled out the knife stuck in his chest, and ruthlessly plunged into the man's heart.After confirming that the other party was dead, he finally couldn't hold on and fell down.

She hurriedly hugged him in a panic, weeping uncontrollably.She dare not do anything now, because she is afraid, afraid that he will leave her; afraid that if she moves, he will disappear; afraid that she will never see him again...

And he lay quietly in her arms, trying to reach out to help her wipe away tears, but found that his whole body was so sore that he couldn't move.He could only speak with difficulty, telling her not to cry...

She nodded and forced a smile.After seeing it, he smiled, stroked her face with the last bit of strength, and said: I love you.Then, he closed his eyes and lowered his hands weakly.

Looking at his tightly closed eyes, the always cold and aloof king finally lost control of his emotions.She hugged him tightly, letting the tears fall like broken beads.Still muttering in his mouth: "I was wrong... you wake up, okay? Actually, I love you too... I won't be cold to you on purpose in the future, and I won't marry anymore, just wait for you to marry me, okay? I I love you! Can you wake up? You don’t want me”

Later, she handed over the throne to her younger sister and asked her to bury her with him, then drank the poisoned wine and went to accompany him.

The moment she closed her eyes, she seemed to see him coming to pick her up. In the future, they will never be separated again...

Sometimes, only after a person completely loses it will he face up to his own heart again and see clearly how important the other party is to him.
The painting of blood-stained mountains and rivers is no match for a little cinnabar between your eyebrows.It doesn't matter if it overwhelms the world, it is still nothing but a bustling scene.Abandoning the prosperous world, seeking a white head, the prime of life.
