After Miao Guang left, Ruo Yan still stood for a long time in front of the big map which depicts the world. Standing upright and resolute, profound and no point of return, vowed in his heart to seize the target regardless of everything, to get hold of the target clamor and proudly.
He gazed at the mountains and rivers in front of him, slowly sorting out the thoughts that rolled like the Aman River, every breath that filled with the complex state of mind directed into a rational peace, let everything gradually settled along the deep into the night.
After clearing up his mood, he moves the hidden strategum in the imperial chamber that only the royal family knew, then walk calmly toward the corridor leading to the secret room of the imperial chamber.
This secret room, which has been used by the Kings of Li of all generations to hide secrets, is the same size as a ordinary room, it’s that there is no other window except the only small entrance door. No matter day or night, the sun can’t enter, and the candle must be lit all day long, so it looks extraordinarily quiet and gloomy.
Ruo Yan comes in, Si Qiang is kneeling upright at the side in a daze, he feels the shadow coming up, then suddenly looks up to see who’s coming, and quickly lean down respectfully, “Great King.”
“Un.” Ruo Yan asks, “Is the person already asleep?”
Si Qiang tilted his head and looking at the mysterious curtain hanging in the secret room, and whispered as if he was afraid to alarm the people inside the curtain, “Should not have yet. Great King, do you want Si Qiang to look over?”
Ruo Yan makes a gesture to stop him, and personally walk to the curtain. This covering curtain is delicately made, embroidered beyond compared with countless cloud patterns with gold and silver silk threads, at this moment the room was divided into two, completely separating the inside and outside the curtain. The flickering shadow of the candle flame dance on the curtain, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet and eerie place.
Si Qiang affectionately handed over the cus.h.i.+on and spread it on the floor in front of the curtain.
Ruo Yan sits up cross-legged and asks across the curtain in a polite manner, “Young lady, are you asleep?”
A sigh comes from the curtain and asks, “Can i sleep?”
The sound is beautiful and gentle.
Just listening to this beautiful voice is enough to make people think about.
The person inside the curtain must be a woman of peerless beauty.
Ruo Yan hadn’t asked her why she couldn’t sleep, instead he talks about trivia matters, “This kid is the waiter specially selected by This King for young lady this time. Is young lady satisfied?”
“Very well.”
“It’s fine if young lady likes it.”
Ruo Yan glances down at the kneeling Si Qiang next to him and continue to talk with the person inside the curtain in a soft tone. “Si Qiang is careful in doing things and very considerate in serving others, This King also thinks that he should be able to satisfy young lady”.
There’s a moment of silence inside the curtain.
“Is it because of this that the King of Li let this kid to serve me?”
Ruo Yan gives an unfathomable smile, “Should there be another reason?”
“His face looks a lot like someone.”
“Really? Like who?”
“He,” There’s a laugh inside the curtain, which is so beautiful that it’s breathtaking, then the voice becomes resentful and cold, she slowly says, “If we understand each other, why bother to say it? Aih … this kid does look a bit like him.”
Ruo Yan says, “It’s more like when he’s closing his eyes.”
“Right.”
Ruo Yan swept his gaze towards Si Qiang’s back, his expression suddenly rise a layer of cruelty, and he carelessly says, “This kid is already young lady’s man. If young lady wants young lady can enslave him, punish and scold him for no reason, even to vent your anger.” He smiles, “If you think his face is unsightly, you might as well ruin it. As long as young lady is happy.”
Si Qiang lowered to the ground, motionless, and his back trembled slightly.
The person inside the curtain sighs again and asks, “In the eyes of the King of Li, am I such a jealous woman?”
Ruo Yan att.i.tude is calm, “In the eyes of This King, those beloved people who has been taken away by others, i will be eager to tear those rivals to pieces, and those who has been betrayed will let the betrayer suffer forever. This is the nature of human beings. It’s not jealous.”
There’s a brief silence inside the curtain.
“Is there really no resentment inside young lady’s heart? How much is young lady’s kindness towards Rong Tian, and how does Rong Tian treat young lady? I heard that he refused mercilessly for the humble request to have children for him even when young lady doesn’t ask for status connecting to him. But even so, This King still thought that both of you have been in love for many years, how could the young lady have a little weight in Rong Tian’s heart, so after attacking your secret camp that day, we still worked hard to ambush the troops and prepare to wait for Rong Tian’s rescue came.” Ruo Yan’s tone is calm, but filled with deceptive evil strength, speaking of these thrilling past events, he sighs sympathetically, “As the result, when This King learned that Rong Tian’s troops were stationed nearby, but he didn’t immediately return to the camp, This King finally knew that the life of the young lady in Rong Tian’s eyes was nothing.”
He smiles disdainfully and says coldly, “After all these things, if you dare to say that you don’t hold a grudge in your heart, then you are the most hypocritical woman in the world.”
Don’t know if his words can move the hearts of the person inside the curtain.
It’s a long time before there’s a sound of bitter laughter inside, “The weak woman fell into the palm of the King of Li, can’t see the sun light and secretly imprisoned here, what can be done even if she hold a grudge? Rong Tian … Didn’t they think I was dead in that fire?”
There’s a glimmer of light in Ruo Yan’s eyes, “This King has a way to make the young lady achieve her wish.”
“Oh?” The person inside the curtain pauses for a moment then whispers, “What is it?”
“Marry me and be the queen of the Li Kingdom.”
There was a eerie silence in the secret room.
Even Si Qiang who is lying on the ground suddenly becomes nervous.
“I do not understand.”
“This King needs a new queen to give birth to his heirs to appease the subjects of the Li Kingdom.”
“when a king marries a queen, shouldn’t he choose among the princesses of all countries?”
There’s a touch of unruly in the corner of Ruo Yan’s lips, he frankly says, “Li Kingdom has annexed Fan Jia and has become the most powerful country in the world, at this critical moment, it’s easy to attract the princess of another country to become the queen, but it’s p.r.o.ne to change and hinder This King’s great unification of the world, neither of these princesses deserve to be my future queen. “
“In that case, I’m even less deserved.” A pair of soft, snow-white hands stretched out gracefully out of the curtain, lift up the corner of the curtain, revealing the stunning beauty that’s even more dazzlingly illuminated by the dim candle light inside. Meiji smiles calmly, “The Great King do not forget, Meiji is used to be an entertainer from Fan Jia, and so many things happen with Rong Tian, such a reputation is truly unworthy of being a Queen of a Kingdom.”
“Haha, you are the most suitable woman in the world. “
“Oh?”
Ruo Yan a.s.suredly says, “In term of your origin, you are of a n.o.ble origin, then you’re being Fan Jia’s n.o.blewoman, demoted only because you’ve offended the old Fan Jia’s king, my Li Kingdom also has just got Fan Jia again, after marrying a Fan Jia’s woman it is possible to appease the Fan Jia people who just conquered. In term of appearance, you are the number one beauty in the world. In term of the usefulness, you and Rong tian have known each other for many years, have a good understanding of his temperament and character, and will definitely help This King in the future.”
When Meiji heard it, she has no arrogant, but shows a bitter smile, “What the great king said just now is just a scene. If the great King really hopes to marry me as a queen, then there can be only one reason.”
“which one?”
“I am the only woman in the world, who is the most willing to help you to break them up.” Meiji says word by word, “If it’s any other woman to become Li Kingdom’s Queen, she wouldn’t want to see her husband so attached to any other person.”
Ruo Yan neither admit nor deny, he’s examining her with grim eyes, “This King’s conditions have been offered, how does the young lady choose?”
Meiji silent for a long time.
She doesn’t overstep the limit, lift up the corner of the curtain and slowly withdraw her hands, hiding herself behind the mysterious curtain again.
“Great King, please go back for a while.” A low voice leak from the curtain, like a distant and helpless lonely soul, “Let me think about it.”
Ruo Yan stands up generously, “All right. If the young lady has made up her mind, she can send Si Qiang to tell This King.”
“This kid Si Qiang, please take him with you.”
“Huh? Is he disobedient and making the young lady angry?” Ruo Yan’s eyes glance slightly at Si Qiang.
Si Qiang suddenly s.h.i.+vers.
“No.” Meiji says, “I just don’t want to see him. Seeing him look like that person makes me upset and difficult to think clearly.”
“All right, This King will send someone else to serve you.”
“Great King.”
“Un?”
“This kid is gentle and pleasant, not only loyal to the Great King, but also affectionate.”
There’s a slight smile on Ruo Yan’s lips, “So what?”
Meiji doesn’t answer for a moment.
“Nothing.” She seems tired and sighs softly. “The Great King walks slowly, Meiji will not see you off.”
Tong Kingdom Capital City, Tong Ze.
Spring always feels good, in this good weather, Feng Ming who loves to sleep is more diligent than ever, he opened his eyes in Rong Tian’s arms long ago.
Rong Tian’s body always seems to contain infinite strength, the muscles on his arms are undulating under the skin, they are strong but not bulky, full of proud beauty.
There are a lot of things today, last night Rong Tian brought the definite news that the Xirei amba.s.sador delegation would leave Tongze early. Feng Ming remember about the plan to “catch Su Jin Chao and spank his a.s.s” and asks Rong Tian, ”What are you going to do about Xirei amba.s.sador delegation?” Rong Tian has planned in advance. “There is only one Su Jin Chao, This King catches him like catch a little ant. However this will affect the domestic situation in Xirei, the timing must be just right. So I will still be busy recently and can’t be with you all the time”. With a straight look on his face, he earnestly hate it. “Every time I think of this, I can’t wait to smack Su Jin Chao’s big a.s.s, actually waste the precious quality time of This King and Duke Ming.”
Feng Ming rolls his eyes.
