Chapter 393 Is this a confession?
He turned to look at the bottomless cliff. He had been to this mountain with Shen Yanshu before.
At that time, Shen Yanshu was still a bright and energetic young man. Although he had honed his composure early on, he still occasionally showed a bit of pure youthful spirit.
He said Shi'an River is a good place, prosperous and lively.
Shi'an Mountain outside Shi'an River City is a quiet place. The mountain is suitable for living a secluded life. If the lonely days have passed for too long, you can go to the city to experience the bustling and bustling.
The ultimate liveliness and the ultimate quietness are not far apart.
If you can't survive in the future, this is also a good place to bury your bones, with beautiful scenery and outstanding people.
Ever since he knew that Shen Yanshu left the imperial city alone and went to Shi'an River, King Xiao had an ominous premonition in his heart. Shen Yanshu came with the attitude of seeking death.
This fact made him feel flustered.
He was usually so calm and reserved that almost nothing could arouse his emotions, but this time it took him three days to rush here from the imperial city at high speed, for fear that he would be late and really have to collect his body - maybe even the body. Incomplete collection.
King Xiao stood for a while, feeling weak all over.
Apart from changing horses along the way, he didn't have a moment to rest. After three and two nights of running around and sitting here for half the night last night, he now had no strength at all.
It was probably difficult to even walk down the mountain.
Prince Xiao turned around and sat down on the boulder, laughing at himself. Has he fallen to this level?
Is this his retribution?
Prince Xiao thought for a moment, and with his current physical strength, it was obviously impossible to chase Shen Yanshu.
In this case, you might as well rest here for a while and wait until the light comes out. Even if you fall asleep and never wake up, it may be a relief.
Thinking like this, King Xiao slowly lay down on the boulder, closed his eyes, and felt the biting chill of the mountain wind blowing through his cheeks.
The familiar footsteps come back again.
King Xiao opened his eyes, and there was a familiar figure standing in his sight. He lay still and smiled faintly: "Why are you back?"
Shen Yanshu looked at him silently and condescendingly.
The road to Mount 껗 was very long last night, and Shen Yanshu walked for a long time.
A long night has passed.
At this moment, the color gradually became brighter.
Only then did Shen Yanshu realize that this man looked tired and haggard, his face was pale, and he looked like he was tired and depressed.
He frowned slightly: "Are you out of energy?"
Prince Xiao hummed: "I'm too tired, I want to take a nap."
"Sleeping here?" Shen Yanshu sneered, "Do you want to be frozen and mummified?"
"The frozen mummy is not bad either." Prince Xiao raised his hand to his eyes and said in a calm voice, "This is my retribution."
Shen Yanshu was speechless.
Prince Xiao sighed: "Shen Yanshu."
Shen Yanshu looked at him silently.
Xiao Wangdan asked: "Kill me now and take my head to see her. Can you plead guilty?"
Shen Yanshu frowned but still said nothing.
"I was the one who was sorry for you before." Prince Xiao admitted his mistake sincerely, "So I deserved to have nothing, all my escape routes were blocked, and I no longer had the slightest chance to fight back... However, compared to before, when I was calculating all the time, I lost everything. Afterwards, I felt much more relaxed. ”
Shen Yanshu lowered his eyebrows and was so quiet that he didn't know what he was thinking.
"What did you think I was doing before?"
Shen Yanshu finally spoke in a calm tone: "Are you repenting?"
"It's not a confession." Prince Xiao denied softly. "It's just that I felt that I was ridiculous in the past. I had been chasing some unrealistic things. As a result, I alienated everyone and neglected things that were more important to me."
Shen Yanshu was indifferent: "What is more important?"
Prince Xiao didn't say anything. He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly suggested: "Shen Yanshu, what do you think we should die for our love here?"
Shen Yanshu was silent, looking at him as if he was mentally ill.
Why didn't he think this person was so childish before? One moment, he was asked to carry his head to plead guilty, and the next moment, he was asked to die for his love?
Prince Xiao said honestly: "Actually, I don't really want to face her."
They all knew who she was.
If it was a normal power struggle between brothers and sisters, he might be able to face it calmly, but what he took advantage of was her unreserved trust in Shen Yanshu.
This kind of paragraph didn't feel wrong before, but now I suddenly felt ashamed.
Shen Yanshu said calmly: "Your Majesty's appearance is different from before."
"How is it different? She is still her, but she just changed her body." Prince Xiao said, suddenly having a whim, "Shen Yanshu, do you think that if I die, can I have a chance to change my body and come back again? "
Shen Yanshu: "..."
"If you are willing to lie with me for a while, then lie down and we can talk." Prince Xiao said, "If you don't want to, just go and let me be alone for a while." m.
Shen Yanshu looked at the cloak that was pressed down by him in silence, and said calmly: "The ground is cold, your cloak can't protect you from the cold."
"It doesn't matter." Prince Xiao looked at the gray sky, "I still remember the scene two years ago when you were punished to kneel in the snow. It should have been colder than tonight, right?"
Shen Yanshu's expression was slightly stiff, and his voice was so calm that it was almost desolate: "It's all over."
"Some people say I have a heart of stone... Now that I think about it, I am more than just a heart of stone. I am cold-blooded and ruthless." King Xiao laughed sarcastically, "I really don't know what has bewitched you. You have been treated like that again and again, but you don't have any resentment for so many years."
Shen Yanshu said indifferently: "Who said I don't have any resentment?"
King Xiao was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at him, and a cluster of light seemed to rise in his eyes: "Do you hate me?"
Shen Yanshu was silent, obviously not wanting to answer this question.
"You should hate me." King Xiao said, "People like me--"
"What do you want to do?" Shen Yanshu frowned and looked at him impatiently, "I have arranged everything. You should stay in the imperial capital obediently. Nothing can be traced back to you! I won't betray you. When I die, there will be no evidence. What do you have to worry about?"
"I don't need you to die without evidence!" King Xiao suddenly stood up from the ground, not knowing what nerve was suddenly pricked. "I haven't fallen to the point where I need you to take the blame. You--"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly went dark.
King Xiao swayed and fell to the edge of the cliff.
Shen Yanshu's face suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand like lightning to grab his arm and dragged him to the flat ground.
He staggered after the strong force.
After he stood firmly on his feet, he raised his hand and slapped him: "Are you done yet? Is this fun?"
The surroundings seemed to be suddenly quiet.
Prince Xiao was already dizzy, and was stunned by the slap. He stared at Shen Yanshu blankly, as if he knew him for the first time.
Shen Yanshu felt guilty when he was looked at by him, and he clenched his right hand involuntarily, and felt that his palm was hot and even aching.
However, at this moment, instead of feeling guilty, he hoped that Prince Xiao could leave here as soon as possible.
