After saying that, the hall was empty for a while.

Then, I heard him get up, slowly walk down the imperial steps, and walk in front of me. I thought he was going to say something, but he didn't say anything, but just reached out and held my wrist and pulled it forward.

I immediately frowned: "What are you doing?"

He said, "Come with me."

There was no sign of anger in the voice of his speech, and it was even calmer than before. Although I had never known that he didn't have to be angry when he was angry, there were ways to make me worse than death, but at this time, his calmness was really, just calm.

So, I followed him slowly.

After walking a few steps forward, I encountered the imperial stairs.

He continued to pull me forward, and I could only walk up step by step carefully, but when I reached the last step, I still tripped under my feet. I staggered and reached out to touch a hard thing in front of me.

It's a little cold, but I feel the carvings are very exquisite.

I hesitated for a while before I realized that it was a dragon throne.

He took me to the dragon throne and came.

Of course, this is not the first time I have "seen" this dragon throne. I have worked in the palace in the past and have followed Pei Yuanhao to this hall countless times and saw the golden dragon throne. However, this is the first time I have touched this dragon throne that people in the world yearn for so close.

Even reached out and touched it.

He let go of my wrist, but grabbed my hand with his other hand. Regardless of the force I wanted to break free, he continued to touch the dragon chaise with my hand, and slowly said, "This is the armrest, this is the back of the chair, this is..."

He said, I touched it.

Although the dragon throne under his command symbolizes supreme power and ignites a raging desire in the hearts of too many people, it itself is cold and hard, and even touches it, which is not comfortable.

Pei Yuanxiu said as he sat down.

Then, he grabbed my hand and pulled it forward.

I felt something was wrong and subconsciously stepped back: "What are you doing?"

“…”

He didn't say a word, but still pulled me hard, finally pulling me to his side and sitting down.

The cold chair seemed to exude the chill of ice and snow, which suddenly enveloped me. I just felt like I was about to be frozen and sat there stiffly.

He turned to look at me. The two of them were sitting in this wide chair. In fact, they were not crowded, but they were only a short distance apart. I could feel his eyes calm and breathing smoothly. He said softly: "How do you feel?"

“…”

I hesitated for a while before saying, "What?"

After saying that, I understood what he meant.

He was asking me how it felt like to be on the dragon throne.

Since I had already sat down, I didn't think much about it, felt it a little, and then said, "It's cold and hard, not as comfortable as the couch in the inner cabinet."

"You don't like it?"

"I just think I might be losing my life."

“…”

"I can't live too long, but I'm afraid I can't live for a few days now."

He heard this, but instead chuckled, saying, "Don't worry."

“…”

"I will accompany you."

This sentence made my heart tremble slightly, but he seemed to have not realized what he said at all. He stepped back and seemed to be looking at me.

Then he said, "Do you know, now, this is my most precious thing."

“…”

My heart sank.

And he said calmly: "I have thought about it countless times, and I have thought that at this time, you can stand side by side with me when I get the country and everything."

“…”

"I can tell you that all of this belongs to both of us."

“…”

"But I didn't expect-it turned out that I could only get the same."

“…”

After sitting on the dragon throne for a while, I calmed down, turned my head to look at him, sighed lightly, and said, "You can only get the same, you can get two or even more, but the method you used is wrong."

His breath sank.

"Pei Yuanxiu, you have been the prince for so many years. You should have seen several renovations in this palace. Have you ever seen craftsmen use some fruit trees that have grown in two or three years to support the beams and pillars of the palace?"

“…”

"No."

“…”

"The nanmu used by craftsmen. But nanmu is difficult to find because it grows slowly and only grows a little in several years. The nanmu that can be used as beams and pillars is decades or even hundreds of years."

“…”

"It grows slowly, but it is not doing nothing. It is growing stronger slowly. This is different from those fruit trees that grow in two or three years. The fruit trees break when they break, but these nanmus are as hard as iron stone."

“…”

"So fruit wood can only be sent to the kitchen as firewood, while Nanmu has endured the loneliness of dozens or hundreds of years to be the pillar that supports the sky."

When I said this, I chuckled: "Actually, you were the Prince of the Crown Prince. You read no fewer books than me back then, and you must have understood a lot of principles. I told you that these are showing off in class. It's not that you don't understand this principle, you just--not withstand the temptation."

“…”

"If you can manage your own power like Nanmu, slowly appease the people's hearts of the people, and even be a little patient with me, instead of using the transfer words to keep me when I first arrived with you, and using the killing of Qinghan to cut off my thoughts... Everything today will be different."

“…”

"But you don't."

“…”

"You want to gather forces, so you are entangled with Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong; you want to fight against Pei Yuanhao, so you make a deal with the powerful people everywhere; you want to get me, so you kill Qinghan...!"

“…”

"Pei Yuanxiu, it's not this dragon throne that asked me to leave you."

“…”

"It's you."

After saying that, I reached out to hold the armrest on my side and stood up slowly. He sat there without moving. His whole body seemed to be integrated with the dragon chaise, exuding a cold and stiff atmosphere.

I turned around and looked at him and said calmly: "Now, whether you can give up it or not, everything is actually a foregone conclusion."

“…”

"You decide what to do."

After saying that, I slowly groped and walked down the imperial stairs.

He didn't say a word, and couldn't even hear his breath. Until I fumbled out of the hall, there was still no sound behind me.

But the next day, I heard news from outside.
