Can I get to the other side?

The last three words Liu Xie said carried an inexplicable power and fell heavily on Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

The people are healthy, the country is prosperous, and the world is peaceful!

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty never expected that this mere false emperor would have such lofty ideals. The purpose of stealing the country was to bring peace to the world?

He wanted to refute the false emperor and scold him for saying some high-sounding words to cover up the fact that he was a thief of the country.

But there was an intuition in his heart.

That is, this false emperor did not lie.

But... why?

This false emperor is obviously just a fake. He, the Liu family, is the orthodox destiny. These are the missions and responsibilities that should be fulfilled by his son, Liu. Why should he be replaced by a false emperor?

Could it be that the days have changed and artifacts have become easier to use?

Is the Liu family destined to be stolen by thieves?

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was pale, and he knelt on the ground dejectedly. His whole figure seemed to collapse instantly, and he lost the confidence he had when he questioned Liu Xie just now.

After a long silence, he looked up at Liu Xie again and asked carefully: "Then...can you let me go?"

"You have taken away the throne and the country, and the world has been settled. You have got what you want, can you spare my life?"

Since God's will is that he is destined to be replaced by this false emperor, then he cannot disobey God's will.

At least the pseudo-emperor looks the same as him and bears his name. He will be known as the master of ZTE in the history books in the future. This country is still nominally the Liu family's.

Besides, what if he doesn't want to?

He is now a prisoner, and no one believes that he is the real emperor. It is even easier for the fake emperor in front of him to kill him. He has no chance to make a comeback.

Even if he had, he didn't have such ability, let alone such ambition. He knew how much he weighed.

Although he had been speaking harshly just now, he knew in his heart that unifying the world could not be achieved by relying on the title of emperor and the support of a group of wise ministers.

This false emperor's ability is indeed far greater than his.

Except that he looks the same as the false emperor, the gap in other aspects is like a chasm. The other person has talents that he does not possess, and is more like an emperor than him.

So instead of continuing to argue, it is better to give up and negotiate terms with the other party.

Seeing the expectant eyes of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, Liu Xie did not answer directly, but asked: "Which do you think is more important to me, the throne or you?"

This question stunned Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty for a moment.

Which is more important, him or the throne?

After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty replied: "For you, the throne is definitely more important. I am not a threat to you, so why bother."

Liu Xie shook his head.

"Then...am I more important?"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty panicked and said quickly: "Don't worry, I just want to live a good life and have absolutely no intention of rebellion."

"If you don't believe me, you can put me under house arrest, just like Cao Cao did to me."

"From now on, you will be the real emperor. I can be your substitute or the fake one. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"No, that's not right. I will do whatever His Majesty tells me to do."

Wandering on the edge of life and death many times, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was very afraid of death. Even if he lived as a prisoner, he did not want to die.

Because when you die, there is nothing.

So even if you give up the throne, even if you endure the humiliation, even if you surrender, it is worth it as long as you can live.

"You are wrong."

Liu Xie shook his head again, stared directly at Emperor Xian of Han, and said word by word: "You and the throne are not important to me."

"Not having you is very important to me."

As soon as Liu Xie said these words, Emperor Xian of Han's face instantly turned pale, and his whole body collapsed to the ground.

Then he burst into tears uncontrollably, broke down and cried, "Why, why don't you let me go?"

"Each of you either wants to kidnap me or kill me. What did I do wrong?"

"Isn't it enough that I have given you the throne and the country?"

"I, I just want to live!"

He has been on the move all his life, either on the way to escape or imprisoned, and has never been able to live independently for a day.

The throne of the country was taken away, and he couldn't even save his life. What unreasonable thing had he done that God gave him such a punishment?

"You did nothing wrong."

Liu Xie walked to the railing, turned his back to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and said, turning his head slightly to look at him, "If you are wrong, it is that you should not be born in an emperor's family, let alone become the emperor."

"The emperor's throne is inherently cold. If the person sitting on it cannot be colder than it, how can he sit safely?"

"You are a hidden danger to me and the big man when you are alive. I will not tolerate the existence of such hidden dangers."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty became more and more desperate and cried harder. He asked with tears in his eyes: "Then why do you want to see me today? Is it just to humiliate me in person? So that I can understand?"

Liu Xie was silent after hearing this, and then sighed: "I just want to talk, and I can only say these words to you."

"I'm sorry for taking away your throne, but I don't regret it. Even if I could go back in time and do it all over again, I would make the same choice."

"Besides, there is someone who wants to meet you."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sobbed and asked: "Who is it...?"

Liu Xie turned around and walked towards a side room not far away.

Then turn it on.

Emperor Xian of Han raised his eyes and when he saw the person in the side room, his pupils shrank and he even forgot to cry.

"Empress?!"

The person in the side room was Empress Fu.

Empress Fu's pretty face was full of tears, and her eyes were full of sorrow.

Liu Xie said to her lightly: "You only have one stick of incense."

Just three days ago, Empress Fu came to him and knelt down to beg him, hoping to meet Emperor Xian of Han.

So he fulfilled her wish.

Empress Fu looked at Liu Xie with a complicated expression, then looked at Emperor Xian of Han and said softly: "Your Majesty."

She heard the conversation between Liu Xie and Emperor Xian of Han just now clearly, and it was the first time she heard Liu Xie frankly admit his identity as a fake emperor.

"Empress!"

Seeing Empress Fu's long-lost face, Emperor Xian of Han couldn't help crying out loud.

Empress Fu never left him in times of crisis, never doubted his identity as the emperor, and was the person who believed in him the most in the world.

He thought Empress Fu had already been killed by the fake emperor, but he didn't expect that she was still alive.

Liu Xie ignored Emperor Xian of Han, but just walked to the fence next to him and looked at the moonlight in the sky.

Empress Fu stood up and came to Emperor Xian of Han, stretched out her hand and gently stroked his face, saying: "Your Majesty, you have suffered."

Emperor Xian of Han cried and said: "Queen, why did you come, why did you come!"

He was not stupid. The identity of the fake emperor was Liu Xie's biggest secret, and anyone who knew it must die.

Empress Fu came to see him, and after hearing what he had just said, how could Liu Xie let her go easily?

"Because I have always missed your majesty."

Empress Fu also shed tears, but she still smiled, and her eyes looking at Emperor Xian of Han were extremely gentle.

Emperor Xian of Han cried, "But you will die. This fake emperor will not let you go. He will kill you!"

"I am useless and incompetent. I can't even protect you. I am the most useless emperor in the world."

"I, I..."

Emperor Xian of Han could not continue speaking. He was overwhelmed by the huge guilt and tears flowed down his face.

Empress Fu took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and then comforted him, "Your Majesty has tried his best. It is not your Majesty's fault that the current situation is like this."

"Everything is God's will."

Emperor Xian of Han nodded with sadness, and burst into laughter, saying, "I can see the queen before I die, and I will die without regrets."

"Queen... Can you send me off?"

There was a table in the water pavilion, and on it were a wine pot and two wine bottles.

Empress Xian of Han knew that this was prepared for him.

Queen Fu looked up at Liu Xie and saw that Liu Xie still had his back to her and did not speak. Then she stood up and walked towards the table.

She poured a bottle of wine, then knelt down beside Emperor Xian of Han, and held the bottle in both hands to Emperor Xian of Han.

"Your Majesty, please."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Emperor Xian of Han came to the side of the bottle, drank the wine in it, and then took a long breath.

Knowing that his death was approaching, he didn't know why he was no longer afraid.

Perhaps, there was a loved one accompanying him?

He cast his eyes on Liu Xie and suddenly asked, "False Emperor, will you really make the people healthy, the country prosperous, and the world peaceful?"

Liu Xie turned around, his eyes calm and deep, and said, "Yes."

"That's good."

Emperor Xian of Han smiled with relief, and then he suddenly felt a cramp in his stomach, which made him sweat and fall to the ground.

"Your Majesty!"

Queen Fu was heartbroken and took Emperor Xian of Han into her arms.

Emperor Xian of Han endured the pain and smiled bitterly: "If there is an afterlife, I will never be an emperor again. I would rather practice medicine in the countryside."

"I have always wanted to be a doctor to save the dying and the wounded."

As he spoke, he raised his head again, stared at Empress Fu's face infatuatedly, and said: "Empress, I, I will marry you again in my next life... Are you willing, are you willing to marry... me?"

The poison took effect, causing black poisonous blood to flow out of the corners of his mouth, and his speech was a little unclear.

"I am willing, Your Majesty, I am willing."

Empress Fu had already burst into tears, and she cried while wiping the blood that could never be wiped off for Emperor Xian of Han.

Empress Xian of Han grinned, but spit out a large mouthful of blood, making his red and black dragon robe even darker red.

His consciousness was already blurred, and everything around him began to become hazy.

Emperor Xian of Han suddenly remembered that afternoon many years ago, when he lay on his grandmother's lap, and his grandmother sang a ballad to coax him to sleep.

I was so carefree back then.

Emperor Xian of Han's eyes dimmed, his head tilted weakly to the side, and his breath completely disappeared.

"Your Majesty!"

Empress Fu was very sad, hugged Liu Xie's body and cried, her voice sobbing like a cuckoo.

Liu Xie stood aside and watched this scene.

His expression was calm from beginning to end.

He walked to the table, filled another bottle of wine, and then came to Empress Fu and handed the wine to her.

Empress Fu raised her head and looked at the emperor in front of her with misty tears. This man who stole the Han Dynasty, forced the orthodox emperor to death, and now brought death to him personally, can still remain calm.

So cold-blooded.

Empress Fu reached out to take the wine bottle, smiled sadly at Liu Xie, and said: "You will live for another person all your life."

"You will be alone all your life, no one can really enter your heart, you will sit alone on the throne of the emperor, decay and age, until death."

"This is the greatest punishment for you."

After saying that, she took the wine jar without hesitation and drank the wine in it.

Then she threw the wine jar aside, hugged the body of Emperor Xian of Han in her arms, and hummed softly: "Swallow tail drooling, Master Zhang, meet from time to time..."

"The wooden door is clanging, swallows fly, pecking the emperor's grandson... The emperor's grandson dies, the swallows peck arrows..."

The voice was intermittent until it disappeared.

Empress Fu and Emperor Xian of Han hugged each other and died.

The whole water pavilion was completely quiet, and Liu Xie stood beside the bodies of the two for a long time.

"Lonely...widowed?"

Liu Xie repeated these four words, and then raised his head, with only indifference and determination on his face.

"So what?"

He walked past the bodies of Emperor Xian of Han and Empress Fu, picked up the candlestick on the table, and threw it next to the curtain.

The candlelight ignited the silk curtain, and the flames quickly climbed up and spread.

Liu Xie walked out of the water pavilion without even looking behind him. His steps became brisk, no longer heavy as before.

It was as if a heavy burden had been unloaded.

So far, the last person in the world who knew his identity had died. From now on, he is the unique emperor Liu Xie!

The flames reflected Liu Xie's figure, like a giant standing upright, as if the entire empire was on his shoulders.

The fire spread in the water pavilion, gradually engulfing the figures of Emperor Xian of Han and Empress Fu hugging each other, and they could no longer be distinguished from each other.

……

Outside the Imperial Garden.

Gao Lan had been guarding here. When he saw the water pavilion in the Imperial Garden suddenly catch fire, he was shocked.

"How could the fire break out?!"

"No! His Majesty is still inside!"

"Hurry up and get some help!"

Gao Lan shouted loudly. At this moment, he didn't care about the emperor's order not to allow anyone to enter the imperial garden.

Even if he would be beheaded by the emperor afterwards, he couldn't let the emperor's safety have any problems!

Just when Gao Lan was about to lead people into the imperial garden to put out the fire, Liu Xie walked out slowly.

Seeing Gao Lan who was about to break into the imperial garden.

Liu Xie glanced at him.

A glance made Gao Lan tremble all over, and his scalp tingled instantly. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!"

He secretly groaned in his heart. This time he would be punished by His Majesty, and he might even be imprisoned.

Fortunately, Liu Xie knew Gao Lan had no other thoughts, so he did not bother with him, but just said lightly: "I accidentally knocked over the candlestick and set the water pavilion on fire."

"The fire is too big now, send people to put it out later, you take people to watch and don't let the fire spread."

Gao Lan breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists and said: "Yes!"

Liu Xie then turned and left.
