Tyrant Reborn

Chapter 045 The Empress Is Not Happy

Xue Xun was stunned in my arms for a moment, and then he realized what was going on. He wanted to back away in a panic, but the carriage was not so stable, so he bumped into my arms again... I was hit hard, so I didn't care about other things , hugged his waist with both hands, helped him up, and then did it himself, while he sat on the side tightly, his face blushing, and after apologizing to me, he kept looking at the other place, as if he was a little embarrassed .

I pursed my lips and said, "Yuan Bao, drive the carriage better, why is it so bumpy?"

"Yes, Lord Long Live." Yuan Bao replied, and he could hear the helplessness in his voice.

I frowned and wanted to say something, Xue Xun looked at me and said, "Your Majesty, you can't blame Chief Yuan for this. This road is all downhill, and the road is full of gravel. The carriage is not easy to drive, even if people walk on it. It will also be difficult to walk, and the carriage cannot slow down, so some bumps are unavoidable."

I nodded my head after hearing this, and after Xue Xun said this, he stopped looking at me, and kept staring at a place in the carriage.I didn't say any more, and I could only look away quietly. I suddenly felt that if I came out with Zhuo Wenjing at this moment, they probably wouldn't be in the same situation.After thinking about it, I sighed in my heart.

The carriage drove again for about half a stick of incense before stopping. During this period, Xue Xun and I didn't say a word until Yuan Bao shouted outside the door: "Long Live Lord, Master Xue, we're here."

I hummed, then looked at Xue Xun and said, "Get out of the carriage." After that, I lifted the hem of my clothes and opened the door, while Yuan Bao stretched out his hand to help me get out of the carriage.

After getting off the car, there was a gust of air-conditioning blowing in front of me, but in front of my eyes was a pool of blue waves, and the sunlight falling on it was indescribably beautiful.

But I was shocked, and I couldn't help but looked up into the distance.

"Your Majesty, this is the Nishui Cold Pond under the cold cliff. I came here by chance, and I think the scenery is very good? Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Xue Xun walked up to me and said, but at the end he looked a little flustered, and stretched out his hand to think. Help me, but because of my status, I can only yell softly.

I regained my senses, looked at him and said with a smile: "Naishui Hanchi, it is said that a feather can sink instantly if it falls here, I don't know if it is true."

"Yes, the emperor also knows." Xue Xundao: "But it is said that there is a demon cult leader in Wulin who once danced a sword on this cold pool against the water. It's the Xueyi Sword that the Emperor took a fancy to last time."

I was stunned for a moment and then laughed. The Xueyi sword was given to Zhuo Wenjing by coincidence. Thinking of Zhuo Wenjing's joy when she got the sword, she probably knew the story.

Speaking of Nishui Hanchi, it was Zhuo Wenjing who told me about it.And ten years later in my previous life, he and I both died here.How can this place be forgotten, how can it be forgotten.

"Your Majesty, is it too cold here? Your Majesty, your complexion is not very good-looking." Xue Xun looked at me and asked softly, "Why don't we go back."

"No problem, it's very good here." I smiled and said, "I'm just thinking, how can such a large lake dry up? Is it because the sky is angry and people complain, that's why it's like that?"

"Your Majesty is just joking. The place is vast and the water is several meters deep. How can it be dried up? Even if it seems to be depleted, the sky will rain to replenish the water. You don't have to worry about it." Xue Xun comforted me with a smile.

I looked at him with my eyes, and after a long time, I said calmly: "What if it is really exhausted one day?"

Xue Xun was silent for a while, then looked at me firmly and said: "Your Majesty, if there is a day when this place is really exhausted, then this humble minister will drill rocks to divert water, and this place will become like this again."

Hearing his words, my heart moved, and then I smiled and said, "It's a good sentence to drill rocks to divert water."

I have to say that Xue Xun's words successfully made me feel that the depression in my heart was loosened by two points, so I looked at him and said, "You brought me here to see the water? Of course, I don't mean that the water is not good. Well, the scenery here is very good, but there is nothing else around except the mountains, if you keep looking at the water, it seems too boring, or is there another scenery here?"

"Your Majesty, I'm ready." After finishing speaking, he took the bundle from the carriage, carefully opened the contents inside, took out the tea utensils and other things from the inside and put them on the ground, then took out the best tea from his pocket and said : "Your Majesty, last time I came here alone, I drank the water in the cold pool and found it very delicious, so I invite the Emperor to taste it this time, but the tea utensils are not of the highest quality, and I am afraid that the original taste will be lost."

After hearing what he said, I froze for a moment, then laughed, he invited me here to drink water?It was really an idea Xue Xun could come up with.

Ask Yuan Bao to pour water and find wood to start a fire, while I looked around and found nothing to do, so I lifted my clothes and sat on the ground.

Xue Xun stared at me for a moment, then sat across from me with a chuckle.

Seeing a side of blue waves in front of the eyes, shimmering, all the way to the distance, the water in the pool is pure and flowing, listening to it, I feel a little relieved, and I understand why Xue Xun likes this place in a trance.

Just thinking that this is the place of Zhuo Wenjing's death, I feel that even in the beautiful scenery, I can't be happy, but in order not to make Xue Xun too embarrassed, I still found a topic and said: "By the way, just now I heard you mention that Xueyi sword, I have heard the empress talk about it, saying that it is a famous sword in Jianghu? But looking at you, there seems to be another story in this sword?"

Xue Xun looked at me and nodded, "But there is a marriage story. It is said that the owner of this snow-clothed sword is the leader of the Demon Sect, and later fell in love with the righteous disciples of the righteous martial arts, but the two have different positions. Besieged by the righteous way, he fell into this cold pool against the water. The person he liked never married until a prince appeared later, and coincidentally, the prince was the same skin as the leader." Xue Xun couldn't find it here. After talking again, I looked at him and said, "Then what happened next?"

Xue Xun looked a little dazed and said: "Later, the prince lived in his house for a month, and finally returned to Beijing, and then... disappeared."

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's just a legend, why bother to be sad."

"I just feel that the ending of this story is a bit embarrassing." Xue Xun said with a smile.

I said: "Actually, it's not true. Love is hard to say. If the person you like dies, and you meet someone with the same face, some people can fall in love again. Some people can only love one person in their lifetime. There is no right or wrong. , just choose differently.”

"...The emperor thinks, which kind of relationship is deep?" Xue Xun looked at me in silence and said.

"It depends on the difference. For example, for me, I naturally hope that the person I like will only like me alone, but some people hope that the person I like will like others after I leave, and I hope he is happy. Yes, so in comparison, one cannot say who is affectionate, nor can one be said to be unkind, that’s all it is to live in this world.”

"I have learned the lesson, but let me be fair, the emperor's love is really selfish." Xue Xun said.

I raised my eyebrows and acquiesced, what he said is right, my love is selfish.

If it's Zhuo Wenjing, maybe I want me to like someone else, but I don't like him leaving me half a step away. How can that person tolerate being a substitute for others?

Then he and I fell silent, and after a while Yuan Bao made the tea and brought it to us.

I don't know if it's because of my mood or the tea is really unique, it really tastes really special to drink, after thinking about it for a while I looked at Yuan Bao and said: "Take some water and take it away, go back to the palace and give it to the queen to drink, if you like it, let people come here often Pick."

"Long Live Lord, the servant has already taken it." Yuan Bao said with a smile.

Looking at him, I smiled, and when I turned back to drink tea, Xue Xun was silently looking at the water, and I said: "What's the matter?" Xue Xun looked at me and smiled slightly: "It's nothing."

Seeing what he said, I didn't care and continued drinking the sweet tea.

After tea, I looked at the sky and said, "Go back."

Xue Xun said Zunzhi, I don't know if it was an illusion, I always felt that he was a little more decadent than before, but this is not my concern, so I didn't ask.

When we went back, he and I were still sitting in the carriage, this time because we were going up, so it was two points more stable, Xue Xun has not spoken, and neither have I.

When I entered the capital, I got out of the carriage and looked at him and said, "It's getting late, let's go home early and rest."

Xue Xun looked at me and said, "Yes."

I nodded, turned and left, Yuan Bao followed behind me.

When I got back to the palace, I hurriedly changed my clothes, ordered someone to make tea, and then I went to Jiaotai Hall. When I went, Zhuo Wenjing was standing in the backyard, not knowing what she was thinking.

After seeing me, I was about to salute, so I hurried over and said, "No, you are heavy, if it is not necessary in the future, this courtesy will be waived."

He took him by the hand and walked to the pavilion of the waterside pavilion. At this time, Yuan Bao came with tea, which contained the best Qingming Yuqian tea, and he could smell the fragrance from a distance.

It is indeed good water, I thought to myself, good water and good tea, it has a special taste.

I personally poured a cup for Zhuo Wenjing, looked at him and said, "Taste it."

Zhuo Wenjing looked at me, stretched out her hand to pick up the white jade teacup, took a sip, and I hurriedly said, "How?"

"This tea seems to be different from the past." Zhuo Wenjing said gently.

I smiled and said, "It's nature. The water is taken from Nishui Hanchi. It's naturally different."

"The cold pool against the water? The emperor went to the bottom of the cold cliff? Isn't that dangerous?" Zhuo Wenjing panicked.

"It's not dangerous. Xue Xun led the way. He knows a shortcut." I smiled and sipped my tea and said, "He also told me about this water."

After all, I looked at Zhuo Wenjing and saw him put down the teacup, so I said strangely, "Why don't you drink it? It doesn't suit your taste?"

Zhuo Wenjing looked at me, and after a long time lowered her eyes and said calmly: "No, this tea is very good, but, Weichen... Weichen doesn't feel thirsty now."

I looked at him stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's okay, let Yuanbao fetch more water in the future, and you can drink as much as you want."

Zhuo Wenjing smiled at me, I smiled too, and continued drinking tea.
