"No need, my brother, you know me well. If I had any interest in the throne, I would not have left alone."
"But… "
"No buts. My brother should know my temper." He is a man of his word and will never change his mind because of anyone. This is Nangong Tianlan.
Nangong Tianlan's personality, in a sense, is almost identical to Di Shitian's. Even his habits and aura are similar. If you get close to him, you'll feel a chill to the bone.
Seeing that he was so determined, Emperor Tianqi had nothing to say and could only postpone the matter for the time being.
However, this throne will be returned to him sooner or later.
Even if not now, after his death, he will leave an imperial edict to let his younger brother inherit.
"Brother, what you should worry about now is not me, but your princes."
Who is Nangong Tianlan? He was once the heir to the throne appointed by the previous emperor. The reason why he did not become the emperor was because he ran away. If he had not come back, everything would be fine. But now that he is back, the situation in the court will definitely change dramatically.
For some people who want to inherit the throne, Nangong Tianlan is the most terrifying threat!
Because he has the support of the people, if he really ascends the throne, it will be legitimate.
How could Emperor Tianqi not understand these situations
He frowned and patted Nangong Tianlan on the shoulder. "I know all this, but I can't let you down."
"I have no intention of taking the throne, so why should I feel wronged? My brother, you are worrying too much!"
The news of Nangong Tianlan's return to the palace spread quickly throughout the Tianqi Kingdom like a spring breeze.
The people cheered and the court officials were delighted. Nangong Tianlan, their legend of Tianqi, was finally back.
However, for some people, this is not only not good news, but also very bad news.
For example, King Xuan Nangong Lingyu gnashed his teeth in hatred when he received the news.
Damn Nangong Tianlan, didn’t he give up the throne and disappear from the face of the earth
Why come back
Could it be that you regret it
Oh, no matter who it is, no one can stop him!
In the bedroom, Emperor Shi Tian stared at the little man in front of him with complicated eyes for a long time. After nearly a quarter of an hour, he finally uttered a word.
"Little thing, tell me, how many brothers do you have?"
“…” This question… sounds so weird.
How many brothers do you have
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind is gentle and the sun is bright.
Just when the entire Tianqi Kingdom was immersed in the joy of Prince Xuan's return, the Imperial Palace was indeed shrouded in dark clouds and the atmosphere was gloomy.
Shrouded in golden light, each glazed tile is reflected with bright colors.
In the bedroom, Emperor Shi Tian sat upright with complicated eyes, staring at the little person in front of him for a long time.
After nearly a quarter of an hour, he finally uttered a word.
"Little thing, tell me, how many brothers do you have?"
First there was Brother Qinglan who got drunk, and then there was Brother Tian. If this continues, who knows how many more brothers there will be...
His face was gloomy and his fists were clenched, silently revealing Di Shitian's nervousness.
He was afraid, afraid of the influence these brothers would have on this little thing, afraid that she would leave him.
In his narrow and long eyes, there was a flicker of jealousy, and a strong sense of crisis arose. When he thought of their interaction in the hall just now, the gloom in his eyes increased a little.
“…” This question… Why does this question sound so weird
How many brothers does she have
A certain spirit rolled her eyes helplessly. How should she answer this question...
"Only Brother Tian!"
After all, there were many things she couldn't talk about yet, and she couldn't explain them clearly in a short time. So, she would just take it one step at a time.
Obviously, Emperor Shitian already knew about Qinglan's existence, but a certain spirit didn't know. But that was true, she said it yesterday after getting drunk, how could she remember it.
As soon as Ling'er finished speaking, she felt the air pressure in the entire bedroom drop even lower!
That guy is like the howling north wind!
but-
Could someone explain to her what she said wrong
And even if she really said something wrong, would Tiantian know
The room was lonely and silent.
Because he felt guilty, Mou Ling lowered his head very low, so at this moment, he could not see the expression of Emperor Shi Tian at all.
I don’t know how long it took, so long that the spirit felt his neck was sore, then he secretly looked up and glanced at Emperor Shitian.
This glance was frozen.
Those sad eyes were like the ashes left after a raging fire, which would be blown away by a slight blow. The corners of his mouth were raised, but there was no trace of joy, on the contrary, it was filled with bitterness.
"Tiantian!" These two words, which she had already recited thousands of times, came out of her mouth at this moment. Every syllable and every symbol was full of tremors.
She had never seen Emperor Shi Tian like this before.
Even when the poison took effect, even when the pain tortured him to the point where he would rather die, he had never been so sad.
Suddenly, a bad premonition came to my mind.
"Tiantian...you..." What's wrong...
Before she could utter the next three words, a pair of big hands had already touched her cheeks.
“Little thing, why did you lie to me… I don’t understand…” His fingertips, which were slightly calloused, gently stroked her dull brows. He laughed so hard that the world was eclipsed, but his voice was low and hoarse like sobs, and the corners of his eyes overflowed with an extremely painful, hot and crystal-clear tear!
He knows!
“Tiantian…” She suddenly stood up and hugged him.
For some reason, she felt that if she didn't hold him at this moment, he would collapse.
"Tiantian, please don't do this. I know I was wrong. I will listen to you in the future. I will tell you everything. I will not lie to you again. Please don't do this. Please don't do this..."
"Little thing, why..." Di Shitian didn't move, letting her hold him. His hot tears slid down her neck, and the scorching temperature almost burned her heart.
Why lie to him, why not tell him everything about her.
He was confused, helpless and scared.
The feeling of being able to touch but not grasp it was like air, which could disappear at any time and suffocate him to death.
He was really scared...
For the first time in my life, I cared about someone to the point of being crazy.
"Tiantian, don't cry, don't cry, I'll tell you everything. Actually, I'm not from this world. No, I should say that my soul comes from the future twenty-first century. My name is Xia Ling'er. I died in my original world, and came here inexplicably, and then I turned into a small beast and hit you. The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was you. My previous identity was an agent, just like your current secret guards, specializing in assassination missions. Brother Tian was my instructor, which is what you call a teacher. In a battle, he blocked a fatal blow for me. So you can say that he died for me in his previous life. He died in my arms, and I just watched him lose his breath. Woo woo woo... The Nangong Tianlan I saw today looks exactly like Brother Tian. I think Brother Tian must have come to this world, so I was so excited. I really just regarded him as a brother. Don't be angry, don't be like this, I'm scared..." (To be continued)
