When the youth saw her like this, he knew that he was a detestable counterfeit, not even half a point as relaxed as she was .
He obeyed her instructions and dazedly exchanged clothes with her .
Then Bai Weiwei scattered the soul snatching powder and knocked him out .
Bai Weiwei wore the dragon robe and crown . The jade bead curtain covered the upper half of her face .
She sat on the throne, her body as straight as a board, her eyes indifferent and her face tranquil .
“Tongtong, we’re going to die . ”
System: “You’ve died so many times . Are you not used to it?”
Bai Weiwei sighed . “No, it’s just that the six months’ time isn’t up for another few days . I’m worried that when I die today, the minimum life subsistence guarantee will activate . ”
Before time was up, the minimum life subsistence guarantee could activate at any time .
Deduct a few more days, and she wouldn’t even need to go back . Just directly blow up .
System: “Very painful . I’m worried you can’t bear it . ”
Bai Weiwei: “I also can’t bear that I have to suffer . I’m poor, ah . ”
Poor people not only lack the qualification to fall in love, but they also can’t even be comfortable .
The system silently glanced at the life subsistence grid, then, after a moment of hesitation, blocked it .
The pain of an arrow piercing the body was too agonizing .
Other than the life subsistence guarantee, it had nothing else .
It flipped through the discount market and halfheartedly said, “Okay, it’s turned off . ”
Bai Weiwei laughed . “You’re so nice to me, Tong . ”
The system just smiled and said, what’s this between us1, ah .
It turned out that the next thing Bai Weiwei said was, “You wouldn’t deduct my life points to secretly buy snacks . ”
System: “…between us, am I that kind of system?”
Yes, it was that kind of system .
Xie Yunting, dressed in the armor he wore when he took over the palace, rode on a black horse and led the army through the open palace gates .
His eyes were cold . In his hands was the same bow from that day when, under the red plum tree, Bai Weiwei brought out the bow to shoot him .
Today was the real beginning for him and her .
He stepped into the palace and saw the main hall through the palace doors .
He rode to the outside of the palace halls, his eyes cold and his bow raised .
The man sitting inside was the substitute he had found . The soldiers behind him and the civil and military officials all saw the man sitting on the throne .
Solitary, wearing dragon robes and the royal crown, the slender little emperor looked as though he’d be blown away by the wind .
From far away, it was unmistakably the little emperor .
Xie Yunting didn’t look carefully . He was far away, and he didn’t want to see the face that looked like Bai Weiwei .
He was afraid that his heart would soften, and the arrow would miss its mark .
He looked towards the other side of the main hall, where the palace of the little emperor was .
She was sitting inside wearing the empress’ robes, waiting for his return .
Xie Yunting heard the sound of chains dragging across the floor and looked back .
It was Chen Jingzhi . He was wearing a prison uniform, his ankles chained and his face gaunt .
Xie Yunting said with a smile: “Chen Jingzhi, take a good look . Today is the day I kill the emperor, ascend the throne, and take a wife . ”
It’s okay if she didn’t like him .
He had plenty of methods, and one day he would wear her down and coax her2 .
As for Chen Jingzhi, he would keep his life and slowly torment him .
Xie Yunting was precisely this sort of narrow-minded and petty person3 .
Chen Jingzhi’s wounds had not healed yet before he was dragged here .
During this time, he could guess based on what he saw and heard what Xie Yunting intended to do .
The one on the throne should be a substitute…
Chen Jingzhi looked up . The sunlit up the hall brilliantly .
And the distant figure on the throne, with vague and indistinct features, looked just like her .
Chen Jingzhi frowned . Although he couldn’t see clearly, the feeling he had at a glance was very similar to Bai Weiwei .
1: 咱俩谁跟谁: keeps getting tl’d to “who are we with”/”we are with who” but it seems to mean something along the lines of “we have a good relationship”???
2: 松口软化: 松口 = to relax one’s bit and release what is held; 软化=soften, wind over by soft tactics .
3: 睚疵必报 : to take revenge for even the smallest offense (e . g . being glanced at)
