The Legend Zhuohua

Extra Chapter

Liu Chen held a wedding ceremony in the third year of Yanxi's reign. To everyone's surprise, he married a beautiful girl from a small family and promised her the title of queen. That woman did not have stunning looks, nor did she have a prominent family background. Both the courtiers and the Queen Mother criticized her, but Liu Chen's decision at this time could no longer be easily blocked by others. Living outside Liangguan, he completely captured the hearts of the army. After breaking Princess Roujia's conspiracy, he vigorously held the family accountable and severely punished a group of officials who tried to abandon the city and flee south, quickly rebuilding his prestige. This time he did not rely on the power of King Ding. After experiencing many betrayals, he finally truly grew up and became the king of a country.

He always clearly remembered the day Liu Yan asked him to resign. Their uncle and nephew talked for a long time in the study. The more they drank tea, the more they became sober. However, the more sober they became, the more painful they became.

"After this incident, Your Majesty is now able to take charge of your affairs on his own. No one in the court can threaten Your Majesty anymore. It is time for me to retire after my success, resign from my position as king of political affairs, and return power to Your Majesty."

"Uncle Emperor, are you leaving?" He was shocked.

"I have a place where I should be."

Liu Yan gave many reasons for leaving, and he also knew that what he said was right. Although Beiliang surrendered to Chen Guo, his evil intentions would not die and he was always a destabilizing factor. Only if he took control of Shuobei could Beiliang be allowed to leave. Ryo is really settling down. To make Beiliang truly return home, it will take three to five years or even longer. The most suitable candidate is Mu Zhuohua.

He vaguely remembered that year's examination. When he saw Mu Zhuohua's strategy of raising barbarians, he was so angry that he lost his mind. He was prejudiced and hostile towards her for a long time. But Liu Yan, who had actually been fighting with Beiliang for many years, read that article. It was probably then that she walked over to him.

Liu Chen suddenly felt that the tea was a little bitter, too bitter to swallow, and too astringent to speak.

Liu Yan looked at him quietly for a long time. There was silence in the study, except for the tears dripping from the candle.

Suddenly, Liu Yan spoke: "One day, Zhuohua asked me why, since the wine was non-toxic, His Majesty gave her a token to save people."

Liu Chen's heart tightened and he lowered his head, not daring to look into Liu Yan's eyes. His gaze was pressing on his neck as if it were real. Liu Chen thought he was fearless, but at this moment he avoided it because of a guilty conscience.

Liu Yan said: "I know the reason, but I can't tell her."

Liu Chen clenched his fists, knowing that he couldn't hide it from him.

"Your Majesty, of course you want to be a wise king." Liu Yan smiled and filled a cup of tea for him, "A wise king is always easy to be soft-hearted."

Later, he no longer remembered when Liu Yan left. He only saw that the tea in the cup had lost a trace of heat. He drank the cool cup of tea and thought of many things in a daze.

Thinking of the day of hunting, when she carefully healed his wounds, thinking of the royal villa, the fragrance of her hair scattered in her palms, thinking of her sadly and resolutely kneeling in front of him, her always clear eyes full of tears, begging him Let King Ding go...

He didn't know when Mu Zhuohua came into his heart. He only regarded her as a congenial confidant and a smart and considerate courtier. But when he thought about it carefully, she was different from others. When she shed tears Sometimes, his heart would also throb. So at that moment, emotions overwhelmed his reason. He was afraid to see her grieving and resenting Liu Yan's death, and couldn't bear to see her kneel and kowtow. He wanted to tell her the truth, but in the end he didn't say anything and just threw out That token gave up the plan of suspended animation.
