The Year of Rebirth - Chapter 37

Ye Chen hurried back to the palace, but was told that his father had rejected the crowd and met the most famous dancer in the imperial capital alone. The bad premonition expanded again, and there was nothing but a blank in his mind, and he broke into the palace alone.

But it was too late.

His father fell on the dragon chair, and the blood followed the dragon chair and sank into the carpet laid on the ground. The long sword carried by the father fell at his feet, and the woman who was said to have entered the palace to perform a dance held a soft sword and stood in front of the dragon chair with her back to him. There was still unwiped blood on the sword, and the blood beads slid down the sword, as if prolonged time.

Hearing his footsteps, the man slowly turned around.

The indifferent eyes swept across his face, the murderous sting still remaining, and the veil that half-hidden his face moved slightly.

“It’s you…” Her tone was indifferent, as if she didn’t care.

“It’s you…” Ye Chen’s voice was dumb, like a trapped beast.

The words of the two of them blurted out at the same time, and then they both froze at the same time.

Ye Chen was surprised that the voice of that person, not the voice of a woman, but a very gentle male voice, even though there was a coldness in it, he would never forget this voice in his entire life.

But what surprised Jun Ruyu was that Ye Chen actually knew this dressed-up himself.

He turned around, his eyes swept across Ye Chen’s whole body, and he looked down and suddenly smiled.

He stretched out the hairpin with a fixed hairpin and took it down, Usi fell down on his shoulders and fell in front of him, and was swept behind him by those jade-like hands. Taking off the jewellery on his body, Jun Ruyu casually threw it aside, Ye Chen just stood there watching him take off the things on his body step by step. It seemed like a robe of dance clothes, which he tore off at will and became concise. Ye Chen realized that this was a piece of men’s clothing.

Something flashed through his mind, but the speed was too fast, Ye Chen couldn’t catch this thought at all.

It was only very quickly that it became the last point of defense and was disintegrated, because the man raised his eyes to look at him, with the raised phoenix eyes half-closed, and the black eyes shining with brilliance, bringing out a trace of enchantment. He raised his hand and took off the veil that covered half of his face.

That time is very short, just a blink of an eye, that time is very long, Ye Chen can hear the beating sound of his heart, it is as long as hundreds of years…

That is his most familiar face, although light makeup is put on, the one that remains unchanged is that peerless demeanor.

He stood there looking at him, still holding the soft sword that had just taken the life of his father in his hand, and the sword body had recovered as before, as if this long sword had never been used.

Ye Chen has completely lost the ability to speak. He can’t even move his body. He can only look at that person with his mouth open. There is a black cloud in his eyes, and he doesn’t know what kind of storm is brewing.

“Surprised?” Jun Ruyu looked a little tired, closed his eyes, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and his murderous intent had not disappeared. “What’s the surprise? Why did I become the imperial dancer or why I am the demon girl? Or, why should I kill that person?”

“…” Ye Chen could only look at him, not knowing how to speak.

Jun Ruyu didn’t ask him what he meant. He held a long sword and walked over slowly.

“Ye Chen, do you know where I am when you are frolicking around the queen mother? When you are behind your father, riding a war horse, attacking the city, do you know where I am?” He bowed his head, like I remembered something. “You know, the two countries are fighting, the people are suffering, the corpses are everywhere, the plague is prevalent, you are victorious and singing, and I…”

“Do you know? Since I was five years old, I have been thinking about killing this man every day and night… This man destroys my country, kills my father and the king, and kills my mother, leaving me in trouble and suffering. Humiliation, join the Demon Cult as a woman, and hide for twelve years.”

“Do you know what it’s like to bear the hatred of the country and family, Ye Chen? I’m very tired Ye Chen…”

“It would be great if you weren’t you…” He suddenly looked up at him, smiling beautifully and intoxicating, just like they had seen him for the first time, he smiled gently, and said his name is Jun Ruyu. “I thought that as long as I kill this person, I will find a child to be an apprentice, teach him a lifelong martial arts, and then wander the world with the person I love. Together, they can land as home wherever they go.”

The joints of the hands were distinct, and they were a little slender and white, but it was also known that they were a pair of sword-holding hands. The hands touched his face, slowly drawing his face, he looked a little cautious, but his eyes showed joy.

Jun Ruyu deceived him, staring into Ye Chen’s eyes, and said with a smile: “But Ye Chen, these can only be my dreams. I fall in love with someone I shouldn’t love, so I don’t have the right to choose… Ye Chen Chen, home and me, you can’t let go of either…”

Ye Chen opened his eyes wide, and remembered the choice Jun Ruyu asked him to make and the answer he gave. “I…” He opened his mouth to say something, but Jun Ruyu blocked his lips with his hands.

Jun Ruyu didn’t need him to say even a word at this moment.

No one can change the decision he made, no matter whether it is selfish or independent-decision, he has made the choice for himself and Ye Chen, the simplest choice.

“Ye Chen, I made a choice for you… Maybe it’s not what you want, but you have lost the right to choose…” He tapped his toes, opened the distance between Ye Chen, and threw it at The long sword on the ground was provoked by him and fell into his hands. He and Ye Chen looked at each other: “I know that nothing can be blamed. Killing your father is my lifelong obsession. I have never thought about rejuvenating the country. I have never felt that You are suitable to be a prince… But Ye Chen, you can become a king.”

“So, I will take this man’s life and pay you back the whole world! From now on, I won’t see each other again!” After that, the long sword that was raised horizontally was like a rainbow, submerged in the white and slender neck. A sharp color flashed in his eyes, and then he used his hand to send himself under the sword again…

Before he became unconscious, Jun Ruyu saw Ye Chen rushing over, and at the same time, it seemed that someone was calling his name loudly…

The splashed blood was spilt all around, falling on the ground like blossoming flowers on the other side, and Ye Chen’s eyes were blood red.

Before waking up from the truth of the death of the father, I saw my lover snuggling in front of him. His head was almost blank, but he instinctively rushed over and hugged the person’s body into his arms, tightly. Hold around tightly, as if to confirm that this is not a dream.

This is not a dream. The body in his arms is slowly losing its temperature. There is still blood flowing out of his neck, and his head is dyed red. That peerless face is pale with blood loss at this moment, but it looks so peaceful.

“…Yu” he choked, and finally healed, the tears couldn’t stop falling, and later, he cried like a heartbreak.

The crying drew the waiters outside the hall, they stared at everything in front of them dumbfounded, screams rang out after a while, and for a while the entire palace fell into chaos.

Ye Chen felt like he didn’t know.

If he comes back sooner, will he be able to prevent Ayu from killing his father? If he hugs Ayu in his arms quickly, will he not lose Ayu? If he could desperate everything, would Ayu not die?

…But there has never been an if in this world.

“Without you, what can I do in this world…” He murmured softly against his face.

All the hottest feelings could not be vented, all the most painful emotions could not be concealed, Ye Chen held Jun Ruyu’s body alone and sat alone in the palace all night.

The former prince succeeded in assassination, the first emperor died, according to the first edict, the prince ascended the throne.

The people don’t know what happened in the deep palace. They only know that the first emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne. The new emperor is a rare Ming emperor who has worked hard to govern during his five-year reign. There are no errors in every decision, even A lot of ideas have been made for the future development of the country. This young emperor Junya was outstanding, but did not marry anyone back to the harem. After only five years of reign, he handed over the throne to his younger brother who had been cultivated by one hand. After that, it was like disappearing, lost track.

According to legend, the young emperor took the ashes of his lover to the place where they first met, and then stayed at the grave all his life until he died.

That night, he hugged the cold body of the man and muttered in a low voice: “Ayu, I will guard you forever, so you have to wait for me…”

“I said, for you, I don’t need this world.”

Su Liunian looked in the mirror and slowly wiped the blood from his neck. The makeup artist was standing behind him, taking off the long hair he had attached, and Shen Yue suddenly came in joyfully.

“Years are fleeting! Your ad is released today!” His eyes lit up, and he was even more happy than an extra month’s salary.

Su Liunian paused, and raised his brows slightly: “Today?”

“Well, in the morning’s press conference, there will probably be news in the newspaper tomorrow!”

“So sure?”

“Of course, you don’t know how popular this brand is. You forgot what I told you at the beginning, how fierce the competition is for this ad? To be able to endorse the brand is simply the most suitable for you now The propaganda means.”

The blood on his neck has been wiped off, and Su Liunian slowly removed his makeup. “Well, I know this.”

“Why do you look unhappy at all?” Shen Yue was a little confused.

“How can I be happy?” Su Liunian looked at him in the mirror: “Laughing like a fool like you? Well… this is a bit difficult.”

“…” Shen Yue felt that he was wrong, so he shouldn’t ask such questions. Isn’t it okay to find things for himself?

“Is there on this advertising network?” Su Liunian saw his little sheep look weak, and then raised a question to tease him. “How was the response?”

“Well…someone recognized you…that you were the young master in Qianyuan. Those who didn’t know you…well, I heard that they all went to the movies.”

“The response is beyond my expectation… Is the effect of the advertisement so good? Luo Chuanyun hasn’t shown me the final effect of that product until now.”

Shen Yue said in a heart-like manner: “The advertisement is very warm… I can’t tell that it is an advertisement at all… Well, it gives people a warm feeling, there is a feeling that the pores are relaxing~”

Su Liunian rolled his eyes and said, “You are too exaggerated.”

Seeing that he didn’t believe it, Shen Yue didn’t insist on it. He just curled his lips and said, “Remember to check it when you go back. You’ll know after seeing it.”
