Xiao Chengyuan dreams of killing the queen every night.
Sometimes a sword pierces the heart, sometimes a glass of poisoned wine, sometimes she kneels in the snow and waits quietly for death. Every time he woke up from a dream, Shen Zhiwei lay beside him, wiped his sweat, and said softly: "Your Majesty, is he having a nightmare again?"
But the dream began to become reality. Someone died in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the wounds were exactly the same as in the dream; the phoenix seal was stolen, and the blood letter appeared, and all the evidence pointed to the person beside him.
The more Xiao Chengyuan checked, the more panicked he became - he didn't believe she would harm him, but her calmness was so abnormal, as if she already knew everything.
It wasn't until the night of the palace coup, when officials forced her to kill her, that her life experience was finally revealed: the last bloodline of the previous dynasty was born to die.
In the Jinluan Palace, he protected her behind him: "Even if she is a remnant of the previous dynasty, she is a remnant of me alone."
But she cried and told him: "This is not the first time Your Majesty has killed me. Ninety-nine times, you regretted it every time, but you still killed me every time."
He was silent for a long time and held her hand: "In this life, I will not kill you. I will take you away."
On the eve of her elopement, she wrote a confession alone, knelt in front of him, held the tip of the sword and said to his heart: "Stab it, and then forget about me. Only when you are alive can the world be at peace."
Xiao Chengyuan relaxed his hand and smiled: "Shen Zhiwei, you have planned ninety-nine lives. In this life, I will not let you get what you want."
He broke all her traps. She is no longer the queen, but she is the only person he has traveled across mountains and ridges to find in his life.
In Jiangnan Teahouse, pear blossoms are blooming again. She turned around and saw him standing at the door, smiling and saying:
"Madam boss, have a bowl of the bitterest tea."
In this life, he finally learned that he could become a wise king without killing her.
