Ouyang Yongrong was still sleeping before daybreak. Chu Dieyi quietly changed her clothes and left the bamboo house where the two of them had lived for nearly a month, heading towards the capital of Yue Country.
She was a little reluctant. After all, how could she not be reluctant to leave the man she loved and yearned for? However, she had no regrets. At least, before she accepted the punishment of the heavenly fire and stepped on the road to hell, she deeply understood that loving someone could be so selfless and beautiful, and this was enough.
As she thought about it, she turned back to look at the bamboo house again. Then, with red eyes, she left Ouyang Yongrong and the only man she had ever loved in her life.
Chu Dieyi had just stepped out of the forest when the guards sent by Zhu Qi saw her.
" Miss…Miss Chu!" The guard almost called her Queen, but he quickly changed his words when he remembered Zhu Qi's instructions.
Chu Dieyi was not surprised to see the guard because she knew that Zhu Qi had sent people to guard outside. She forced a smile."I want to go back to the Capital. Can you help me?”
The guard immediately bowed and agreed. There was no surprise on his face, nor did he ask anything. Because Zhu Qi had instructed that he was not allowed to ask anything about His Lord and the Empress. Moreover, no matter what His Lord and the Empress ordered, he would do as they said.
Not long after, Chu Dieyi got on the carriage and returned to the capital city, which she had been looking forward to but was now feeling uneasy, under the escort of the guards.
The moment they entered the capital of Yue Country, the palace immediately sent people to welcome Chu Dieyi and arranged for her to stay at the Moon Cloud Residence.
Chu Dieyi did not care where she lived because she was about to die. For a person who was about to die, it did not matter where she lived.
She dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs and stayed in the Moon Cloud Residence alone. She took a bath and then put on the clothes she thought were the most beautiful.
Then, she took out a needle and thread and sewed up the cuffs, collar, and pants. She did not want anyone to see her body after she died.
Her body belonged to Brother Rong. Even if she was destined to have no fate with him in this life, to her, Brother Rong was her husband. Only Brother Rong was allowed to look at her, and no one else was allowed to! Even the Prince of Yue could not see her body, so she sewed up all the openings on her clothes, not wanting anyone to see her delicate beauty.
After sewing the clothes, Chu Dieyi took out a jade pendant from her bosom and placed it on the table. That jade pendant was the Nine Phoenix Ring.
She had let down the King of Yue, even though she had sworn in front of the holy daughter that she would support him for the rest of her life and never leave him. However, her heart had already been given to Brother Rong, her body had also been given to Brother Rong, so all she could give him now was the Nine Phoenix Ring.
This Nine Phoenix Ring was a divine item in the world and possessed a powerful mysterious power. With the Nine Phoenix Ring, it was equivalent to having her, Chu Dieyi. Thus, she decided to leave the Nine Phoenix Ring to the King of Yue as compensation. Chu Dieyi looked at them one by one and checked them one by one before leaving a note for the King of Yue as an explanation.
Finally, she took out the white silk. With a little force, the white silk was already hanging on the beam. After firmly tying a dead knot, Chu Dieyi stood on the small stool in a daze.
She was going to die, because she couldn't keep her promise.
She didn't want to harm Brother Rong, because if the Prince of Yue knew that Brother Rong had stolen her innocence, he would definitely kill him. She also did not want to harm the Prince of Yue. Since she could not keep her promise, why should she force herself to stay by his side and increase his troubles? However, the most important thing was that if she did not die, she would eventually have to bear the punishment of being burned by the heavenly fire. At that time, even the King of Yue and Brother Rong would not be able to escape. She did not want these two men to burn with her, so she chose to hang herself.
Thinking of this, Chu Dieyi muttered to herself,"I'm sorry Brother Rong, Die 'er can no longer be your wife.[Wait for the next life! When Die 'er is no longer Dunhuang Ritian in the next life and doesn't have to care about any damn oath, Die' er can wholeheartedly be your wife!]”
Chu Dieyi wiped her tears and put her head back into the white silk. Then, she kicked her feet, ready to use her death to solve all the problems.
Just as Chu Dieyi was hanging from the white silk, her eyes were bulging and her tongue was sticking out. Just as she was about to die and meet the King of Hell, the door of the Moon Cloud Residence was suddenly knocked open. A figure rushed forward to save Chu Dieyi at an astonishing speed. At the same time, he shouted in exasperation,"Die 'er, Die' er! How could you be so stupid? Die 'er!"
Chu Dieyi thought that she must have died. Otherwise, why would she hear Brother Rong calling her?
She breathed in the precious air." Brother Rong, is that you?" Am I dreaming? Was he dead? Otherwise, why would I hear you calling me?”
"No, it's really me. It's really me who's calling you!”Ouyang Yongrong was angry, anxious, and distressed. He excitedly hugged Chu Dieyi in his arms.
Heavens! This little thing actually dared to hang herself? He didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if he had come in a little later.
At this moment, the eunuch behind Ouyang Yongrong reminded him,""Your Majesty, do you want to call the imperial physician over?”
Ouyang Yongrong nodded. Quickly call the imperial physician over."
Ouyang Yongrong picked up Chu Dieyi and let her lie on the bed. Then, he untied the white silk around her neck. He was both angry and confused."Die 'er, why did you take things so hard?"Why did you do such a stupid thing? Do you know that if you die, I won't be able to live either?"”
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here."
The imperial physicians respectfully knelt down and kowtowed."Greetings to our king, long live, long live!”
This "Long live the king" was like a thunderbolt that flashed into Chu Dieyi's ears, waking her up in an instant.
She struggled to get up and looked at the eunuchs and palace maids kneeling on the ground behind Ouyang Yongrong, as well as a few imperial physicians carrying medicine boxes." You, you are King Yongrong of Yue, Ouyang Che's younger brother, Ouyang Yongrong?”
Ouyang Yongrong nodded solemnly."That's right, I am Ouyang Yongrong, also known as King Yue Yongrong!”
Chu Dieyi felt as if she was struck by lightning and couldn't speak for a long time.
Ouyang Rong was actually Ouyang Yongrong? It was actually her husband, King Yue Yongrong?
[What…What is going on? What is going on?]
Chu Dieyi was lying on the ground with her little butt sticking up high. She stared at the two crickets fighting in the brocade box and didn't forget to use the grass in her hand to tease the crickets. She shouted,"Little Rong, bite it to death! Yes, that's it. Bite down hard from its neck. It's best to bite it into two pieces. Don't forget that it once pretended to be dead, so you can't fall for it again. You have to really bite it to death!”
Then, she shouted at another one,"Little Yong, it bit you so hard and you just let it bite you?"Bite it back, no need to be polite, right! Start from its stomach, it stole your food yesterday, you must take revenge, otherwise how can you be called Little Yong?"”
Chu Dieyi provoked Little Yongzi and then provoked Little Rongzi. She clenched her fists and excitedly watched the two crickets fight to the death. She even shouted in a mess. However, this was what Ouyang Yongrong saw after entering the Moon Cloud Residence.
He walked behind Chu Dieyi and looked at her in disbelief.
She was actually trying to drive a wedge between the two crickets? What was even more ridiculous was that she even named those two crickets, Little Yongzi and Little Rongzi, the two combined were his full name!! Graceful!
What was this?
"Die 'er, I…" Ouyang Yongrong couldn't help but say.
Unexpectedly, when Chu Dieyi heard his voice, she immediately closed the brocade box with a bang. Then, she picked up the box and walked out without looking back. She muttered,"Little Yongzi, Little Rong, there's a bad guy who specializes in lying and deceiving people. He'll wrap the two of you in flour and throw you into a pot of oil to fry you into crispy fried crickets to eat, so I'm taking you to escape now. If you lose him and get trampled by the bad guys, don't blame me for not warning you in advance!”
Ouyang Yongrong was angry and amused at the same time. She flashed to the door and blocked Chu Dieyi's way."Die 'er, don't be like this. Listen to my explanation!"”
Chu Dieyi turned a blind eye to him and turned a deaf ear to his words. She turned to push open the window and then rudely lifted her skirt, intending to jump over the window.
Ouyang Yongrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
He pulled Chu Dieyi back and closed the window. He didn't care if she would scream or punch him. He threw her heavily on the bed and pressed her down with his strong body.
Sure enough, Chu Dieyi kicked and hit him with both hands and feet." You liar, lecher, hypocrite, cunning scoundrel, let go of me, let go of me!”
Ouyang Yongrong held her hands tightly and dodged her kicks as she said,""Die 'er, I know you're angry and you won't forgive me, but can you listen to my explanation first?”
"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear anything! I just want you to let me go, let me go!”
Chu Dieyi kept struggling, but Ouyang Yongrong was holding her so tightly that she couldn't even move, let alone break free. Just as she was panicking, Chu Dieyi opened her mouth and bit down hard on Ouyang Yongrong's shoulder.
Ouyang Yongrong grunted as blood seeped out of his clothes and dyed his shoulder red. However, he did not dodge and allowed Chu Dieyi to vent her anger and grievances.
Seeing Ouyang Yongrong's blood, Chu Dieyi couldn't help but feel a little flustered and a little soft-hearted. She raised her head and looked at Ouyang Yongrong in a daze."You, why didn't you dodge?”
"I'm willing to do anything as long as I can calm you down and make you stay and listen to my explanation," he said gently.”
Chu Dieyi was almost speechless." You, you…"
Ouyang Yongrong let go of Chu Dieyi and reached out to caress her angry face." Die 'er, can you listen to my explanation?"”
Chu Dieyi shook her head, her eyes filled with tears." You're bleeding. Let me take a look at you!"”
She unbuttoned his clothes and was surprised to see a few ugly scars on his shoulder. Besides those scars, there were two rows of tiny and extremely deep teeth marks.
Needless to say, those ugly scars were naturally left behind by Ouyang Yongrong when she was attacked by the big bear. The two rows of teeth marks were from her bite.
Chu Dieyi couldn't help but tear up when she thought of how he had saved her several times, and how he had risked his life to fight the bear by the stream for her.
She hit him angrily." You, why did you lie to me? I always thought that you were just a small military officer who came to save me only under the orders of the King of Yue. So I was so worried about you. I was afraid that you would be dragged down by me. I was afraid that the King of Yue would vent his anger on you because he couldn't get me. I was even more afraid that you would bear the crime of tarnishing the queen! I didn't expect you to lie to me! Why did you lie to me? Why?"
Ouyang Ling didn't say a word and quietly let her hit him until Chu Dieyi was tired and tired. Only then did he sit up with her in his arms and let her lean against him.
"Die 'er, I didn't mean to lie to you. It's just that when I saw your innocent and innocent look, I couldn't help but want to tease you.”
"Are you kidding me? You!" She raised her fist and was about to hit him.
He reached out to hold her fist and kissed it gently." Don't be angry. I really just wanted to tease you. Because I've never seen such a brave but confused little thing like you. You can crawl in the mud and catch fish in the stream. You are innocent, willful, and cute. You made me forget that I am Ouyang Yongrong, the King of Yue. Do you know how much I wish I was just an ordinary man, an ordinary man who can live a carefree life with you by the stream?”
"But you should have told me instead of hiding it from me. Do you know how troubled and worried I was?”
" I know. I thought I could handle it well. I thought I could tell you everything before I returned to the capital, but I never expected you to leave without saying goodbye. You actually wanted to use death to solve the problem. You're really, really…" Ouyang Yongrong's heart clenched at the thought of the little thing swaying in the air.
"I want to love you and stay by your side to be your wife, but I've already sworn in front of the Heavenly Maiden that I will be the Queen of the State of Yue and never leave the King of Yue. Otherwise, I will be burned by the heavenly fire. Brother Rong, I'm only one person, I can't marry two men, but as a person of Dunhuang Ritian, I can't go back on my oath. So I thought for a long time and decided to give my pure body to you. Even if I can only be your wife for one night, Die 'er will be satisfied.”Chu Dieyi said all the words that she had been suppressing in her heart.
"Even so, you don't have to do anything stupid.”
"Sigh! If you were me, what would you do?”
"I…"
Chu Dieyi looked straight at him," I don't want you to be blamed by the King of Yue because of me, and I don't want you to be implicated by me and suffer the punishment of being burned by the heavenly fire. After all, that was my own mistake. How can I let you suffer for me?”
Hearing this, Ouyang Yongrong couldn't help but ask,""Heavenly Fire Burning Body? I've heard you mention it several times. What exactly is Heavenly Fire Incineration? A punishment?"
"The heavenly fire is not only a punishment, but also a trial. It can test the loyalty of two people who love each other. If two people were truly in love, even a raging fire would turn into a trickle of clear water.”
Chu Dieyi recounted how Chu Huanyi and Xuanyuan Rui had accepted the heavenly fire and how they had turned the situation around, how they had supported each other and spent the rest of their lives together.
Ouyang Yongrong had heard about Chu Huanyi and Xuanyuan Rui from Ouyang Che before. However, Ouyang Che had a steady personality, so no matter how shocking the news was, it was less shocking when it came to him. Now that the same thing was said from Chu Dieyi's mouth, it was naturally much more thrilling. Ouyang Yongrong could not help but feel a chill in her heart when she thought of the two people's loyalty to love.
He didn't expect Xuanyuan Rui, who had always been unrestrained, to be so persistent in love! In order to pursue true love, he almost lost his throne and life?
Ouyang Yongrong thought, if the same thing happened to him, would he be confident that he could pass the trial of the heavenly fire safely like Xuanyuan Rui?
Chu Dieyi continued," Brother Rong, you have saved me many times. For me, you almost lost your life several times. If it were you, you should be able to pass the Heavenly Fire Incineration Trial."
But so what if he passed the trial? I only want to marry you, not the King of Yue. So even if you pass the Heavenly Fire Burning Trial, you still can't escape the King of Yue, because he will never let you go.
I don't want you to make any more sacrifices for me, and I don't want you to die. That's why I want to use my life to exchange for yours. However, I never expected that the person I was trying so hard to protect was actually the King of Yue!
You, you really lied to me so miserably! Do you know how sad I am? I thought that I would never see you again in my life and even cried for a long time. I didn't expect you to actually…detestable! You're really despicable!"
At the end of her sentence, Chu Dieyi's anger could not be appeased. She raised her small fists and punched again.
After listening to her words, Ouyang Yongrong was both touched and guilty. She was touched by this girl's deep affection for her, and she was guilty that she still did not tell her the truth. However, the truth was sometimes more hurtful than lies. In this world, she was the last person he wanted to hurt because she was so pure and kind. She believed in him so much. How could he hurt her again?
Ouyang Yongrong held her little fist and pulled her into her arms." Die 'er, don't be angry. I know you're angry! But think about it, isn't this the best? Ouyang Yongrong was Ouyang Rong, and Ouyang Rong was Ouyang Yongrong. Wouldn't everyone be happy? Or do you want Ouyang Yongrong and Ouyang Rong to be two different people?”
Chu Dieyi was stunned. She shook her head and hugged him tightly. She kissed his face." I don't want to!" I don't want two people. I want Ouyang Yongrong and Ouyang Rong to be the same person.”
Ouyang Yongrong sighed softly. Why was this girl still licking like a puppy? He remembered that he had taught her how to kiss, but this girl still couldn't learn it. It seemed that he had to teach her again.
He held her small face." Die 'er, whether I'm Ouyang Yongrong or Ouyang Rong, I want you to remember that I love you, and I love you as a man, as a husband! Tell me, does it still hurt?"
Chu Dieyi was stunned. She didn't understand what Ouyang Yongrong was asking.
……
After a long time, Ouyang Yongrong pulled himself away, but he still hugged Chu Dieyi longingly. He gently wiped away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Are you hungry? Are you tired? Do you want me to get them to send food over?"
Chu Dieyi curled up in Ouyang Yongrong's arms like a lazy kitten." I'm not hungry. As long as you're with me, I won't be hungry."”
Ouyang Yongrong's eyes flashed with a strange light." I'm the exact opposite of you. As long as I see you, I'll be hungry. No matter how much I eat, I feel that it's not enough.”
Chu Dieyi had always been quick-witted, so how could she not understand Ouyang Yongrong's double meaning? She screamed and hurriedly pulled up the blanket to wrap herself up. She ran around the room and shouted,"But I'm not hungry, not hungry at all!”
When Ouyang Yongrong saw this, she couldn't help but smile evilly. This girl was actually running around wrapped in a quilt? Did she think that he wouldn't be able to catch her like this? Wasn't this underestimating him too much? He was the dignified King of Yue! If people knew that he couldn't catch a little girl wrapped in a quilt, where would he put his face?
He immediately stretched out his hand and carried Chu Dieyi by her waist, ending this game of hide-and-seek. The two of them fell on the bed together." Die 'er, I…"
Before Ouyang Yongrong could say anything, she heard an argument outside the door!!
"No, Lord Zhu, you can't go in. The King and the Empress are busy, busy. If you go in, the King will be angry!”
Zhu Qi's voice came over,"I know that the King and the Empress have reunited after their separation and are reminiscing about the past. However, a life is at stake, and it is not a trivial matter. Please pass on the message on behalf of the eunuch.”
"Lord Zhu, you have followed the king for many years, so you should know that no subject has ever come to report something when the lord is on his way. Can you ask Lord Zhu to come back later?”
"No, this matter cannot wait for a moment. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid that even the king and the queen will be in danger.”
As he spoke, Zhu Qi seemed to want to force his way in. The guards and eunuchs outside the door hurriedly blocked him." Lord Zhu, you can't do that. Please go back. I will definitely help you report it later…"
"Your Majesty," Zhu Qi shouted,"I have something to report. Please open the door!"”
"Lord Zhu, aren't you…"
Suddenly, Ouyang Yongrong's melodious yet dignified voice rang out,""Zhu Qi, you are too impudent! Don't you know I'm busy? Let's talk about it later."
Zhu Qi knelt down in a panic." Your Majesty, I know I was too abrupt, but this matter is no small matter, so I had no choice!”
"What's so important?" Ouyang Yongrong got up and put on her clothes. In a short while, she had already arrived at the door.
"Consort Jin niangniang escaped from Xianning Palace.”
Ouyang Yongrong almost jumped up when she heard that." What did you say? Consort Jin escaped?"
"Yes, sir! Consort Jin had not only escaped from Xianning Palace, but she had also taken a sharp weapon to the Three Saint Temple and held Perfected Yu 'in hostage, asking the King to give her orders as soon as possible!”#
