Jiang Yucheng's pupils shrank, and a glimmer of light quickly flashed across his eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.
After a moment, he said:
"No."
Chu Liuyue frowned slightly.
In fact, on the night when she revealed her identity and officially ascended the throne, she had a very long dream.
The entire dream was fragmented, with only some incoherent fragments. After waking up, she forgot most of it and only vaguely remembered a few scenes.
In addition to the octagonal pavilion next to the cliff that I saw at the beginning, many strange scenes also appeared in the dream.
She had never been to those places, but for some reason, they felt very familiar.
What's more important is that she remembers the details of some scenes clearly.
It seemed like she had definitely seen it before.
After she woke up, she tried to draw these scenes, but as soon as she started writing, she almost completely forgot about them, and she couldn't even draw a vague outline.
Except for the octagonal pavilion on the cliff, everything else finally became blurry.
Apart from that, the clearest thing is Qianjingyuan.
She dreamed that she was standing by the lake, and Jiang Yucheng was standing in front of her.
She seemed to have said something vague and contained a few sensitive words.
Engagement, cancellation, agreement.
After waking up, Chu Liuyue thought for a long time and felt that this dream was not entirely a dream.
There are many things in it, perhaps related to the part of her memory that she once lost!
If those things had really happened, she speculated that she was looking for Jiang Yucheng to cancel the engagement.
After waiting for a few days, she came here to meet him and be able to ask this question.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yucheng said no.
Chu Liuyue was not very convinced and asked again:
"really?"
Jiang Yucheng looked at her doubtful look, and for some reason, a subtle smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Now that things have happened, what can I do to lie to you about this kind of thing?"
At the beginning, she did not mention canceling the engagement.
Because at that time, they had just agreed to pick a time to make an engagement, but before they could do it, she found him again and proposed to cancel the agreement.
Just because she said she has someone she likes.
But in the end, the engagement was finalized.
But that's a story for another day.
When she asked such a question, it was obvious that she had no memory of what happened back then.
Jiang Yucheng had no intention of explaining, let alone recounting what had happened.
After all, in his opinion, those experiences were not something worth recalling or remembering.
Chu Liuyue stared at Jiang Yucheng carefully, thinking over and over in her mind whether his words were true or false.
"Yesterday, the Jiang family's residence was sealed."
She suddenly changed the subject.
Jiang Yucheng's face stiffened for a moment, but it passed quickly, leaving only a faint scarlet color in his eyes.
But his overall expression was still very controlled, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
In fact, he had expected all this since he was taken to watch the Jiang family members beheaded two days ago.
In other words, he had thought about such a situation since the day he decided to attack her.
It's just that he was always confident in the past, thinking that he would never miss, and he never expected that she could come back alive.
"They all died because of you."
Chu Liuyue looked at him.
"Your sister Jiang Yuzhi was still calling your name before she died. You should have heard it, right?"
The veins on Jiang Yucheng's forehead were beating.
Of course he heard it, clearly!
At that time, blood flowed all over the ground. Several lives that were originally alive were all gone in an instant, leaving only devastation.
Jiang Yucheng slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the emotion in his eyes had completely dissipated, leaving only a coldness.
"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. This is your revenge on me, and I accept it."
No matter how much he begged for mercy and rescue, he was unable to change the situation.
Seeking power and usurping the throne, committing various crimes, not to mention Chu Liuyue, anyone related to this will not let him go easily!
What's more, now that his original core is broken and his body is covered with injuries, he is worse than an ordinary person. What else can he do besides being angry and sad
And these are actually of no use, they just make him suffer more.
After being numb, I felt much better.
Chu Liuyue smiled.
Jiang Yucheng was quite open-minded.
In other words, he is cold and selfish enough.
It was obviously because of him that thousands of people in the Jiang family were implicated, but in the end, he didn't seem to have any regrets.
Because he doesn't care about those people at all!
Even if it was his parents or his biological sister, even though he felt a little distressed, what he cared about most was himself.
If this kind of thing happened to another person, he would probably be unable to bear the pressure of self-blame and guilt and commit suicide.
But Jiang Yucheng didn't.
From this perspective, he is indeed a character.
If he didn't have a little concentration and ability, how could he have made all the preparations quietly back then and betrayed her in one fell swoop!
"I found this in your study."
Chu Liuyue suddenly took out a rectangular wooden box.
Because he was worried that there were any dangerous things left in the Jiang family, Qin Yi also went along during the search.
Later he sent this thing.
Seeing the wooden box, Jiang Yucheng's expression cracked for a moment.
Chu Liuyue glanced at him, opened the wooden box and took out a scroll of paintings.
With a flick of the wrist, the painting stretched out instantly!
There is a woman painted on it, who is Shangguan Yue back then!
Chu Liuyue was also a little surprised when she saw this painting.
Judging from the appearance of the portrait and the signature on it, it was Jiang Yucheng who painted it on the day she got hairpins.
Shangguan Wan had mentioned before that Jiang Yucheng had missed her for ten years, which was probably what he was talking about.
Chu Liuyue seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"I don't know that you still have such a painting after you treated me so cruelly."
Jiang Yucheng's face turned pale for a moment, as if someone had revealed a secret that had been buried for a long time, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
He admitted that he liked her, otherwise there would not have been that engagement.
But this painting, which she took out so suddenly, somehow made him very embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I have no interest in your obsession for the past ten years."
Chu Liuyue spoke lazily, but her eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"What I want to ask is, when and why did you plan to betray me?"
There is no love without reason in this world, and there is no hate without reason.
If Jiang Yucheng did this for the throne, Chu Liuyue didn't quite believe it.
If he marries her, he can still get the power he wants.
The more he liked her at first, the more it became clear that after this profound betrayal, she was filled with amazing temptations!
