Five years ago, he was her gentlest Jiangnan dream, and she was the poisonous knife stabbing into his heart.
Poisonous wine penetrated his intestines, and his body was burned by fire. He crawled back to the world from hell for only two things:
Marry her, and then let her have a taste of what it means to be unable to survive or die.
Five years later, she is still the bright moon in the clouds, and he is the sharpest blade in the emperor's hand.
There was a surging undercurrent in the court, and he turned the tables and played with everyone.
When the dust settled, the emperor asked him in front of his Majesty Jiuzhong Dan: "Shen Qing, you have made great contributions in this battle. What reward do you want?"
The nobles in the court held their breath, thinking that what he wanted was to have power over the government and the public, and to be a highly respected minister.
But he lifted his robe and knelt down, his voice resolute and decisive, resounding through the silent hall:
"My lord, I would like to be the eldest princess."
The whole court was in an uproar.
This is not the grace of "Shangzhu", but a blatant robbery and sentence.
And she knelt down to receive the imperial edict at the Princess Mansion, her fingertips were cold, and she finally understood——
His revenge was never to take her life.
He wanted her to be his prisoner, with her phoenix crown and beautiful hair, and her ten-mile red makeup.
He wanted to break her wings, crush her pride, and let her relive the burning heart in his arms every night.
On the wedding night, the dragon and phoenix candles burned high.
He pinched her chin and forced her to look up, with hatred welling up in his eyes: "Xiao Jinning, do you regret it now? Do you regret not poisoning me back then?"
She looked into his eyes, as if five years had passed and she saw the young man in the sea of fire again.
"I never regret anything I do." She said softly, then raised her head and kissed his lips in an almost pious manner. What I tasted between my lips and teeth was his hatred or her regret.
