Chapter 737 Confession of Identity
"Your Majesty, thank you very much." Xiao Wanjun lowered his head and said humbly.
The words "Be anxious when the world is worried first, and be happy when the world is happy later" echoed repeatedly in her mind.
She couldn't help but think: It turns out that the ideal minister in His Majesty's heart is like this - and how far is she from such a state now?
Although it was daytime at this time, it was pitch black outside the window. Only the candlelight inside the room gave off a warm yellow light, illuminating the face of the young king of the wilderness.
The flames were reflected in his pupils, like two tiny suns.
"By the way, Your Majesty," Xiao Wanjun pondered for a long time, as if he had finally made up his mind, and spoke softly, "Not long ago, Master Tianji Xingjun mentioned something to me. He said that I have the great luck of the wilderness. , related to your promotion..."
When she said this, her eyes always fell on the table in front of her. Her eyes wandered back and forth between the wood grains, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
In Xiao Wanjun's view, His Majesty is now only one step away from the realm of "returning to the ruins".
She didn't want His Majesty to be unable to improve his cultivation for her own reasons - if that were the case, she would simply be the sinner of the wilderness.
However, after the words were spoken, she did not have the courage to look up and see Gu Xu's reaction.
"I know," Gu Xu interrupted her, his eyes calm and profound, "In fact, I don't need Gong Yu to remind me. I already guessed what was going on as early as the moment you held the 'Tai'a Sword' Something happened.”
Hearing his words, Xiao Wanjun was stunned, and it took a while before he came back to his senses.
"Then why... didn't you tell me at that time?" She asked in a low voice, with a little doubt and a little caution, "Your Majesty, actually... please forgive me for being blunt, a long time ago, I had something in my heart
"No matter what you ask me to do, as long as I can help you, I am willing to do it."
Xiao Wanjun was able to move around the court with ease, and he was decisive and popular in the "Cang Yao World". However, when I expressed my true feelings in front of Gu Xu today, I felt extremely nervous and apprehensive, and even my voice was slightly trembling.
She is obviously twenty-eight years old.
But now, she seemed to have turned into a young girl, quietly stuffing the love poem she had written into her lover's pocket, hoping that he would see it, but also afraid that he would really see it, and even more afraid that if he saw it, he would give her something that would disappoint her. response.
"Wanjun, do you still remember the ideals you talked about to me when you agreed to join my cabinet?" Gu Xu sighed softly and asked.
Xiao Wanjun thought for a moment and replied: "As a mortal woman, I also hope to have the opportunity to realize my own value and do more real things that are beneficial to the people instead of living dependent on others."< br>
As soon as she repeated what she had said before, without the need for Gu Xu to explain, a hand seemed to push away the clouds in her heart, allowing her to instantly understand His Majesty's thoughts.
It turns out that His Majesty is actually thinking about me!
It turns out that the reason why he has delayed coming to take away my luck is because he really hopes that I can realize my ideal of making achievements and leaving a name in history!
……
Xiao Wanjun's chest was filled with ups and downs.
Her hands gripped the arms of the chair tightly, loosened them, and tightened them again, over and over again.
As a princess of the previous dynasty, a mortal with no cultivation, she had never felt the feeling of being "respected" in front of her parents, brothers or subordinates. She seemed to have infinite beauty.
On the surface, she seems to have unlimited glory, but in the final analysis, she is just a political tool in the eyes of her father, a marriage bargaining chip in the eyes of her mother, a big trouble in the eyes of her younger brother who supervises his practice all day long, and a vase with only beauty in the eyes of his ministers.
No one has ever cared about her inner thoughts, let alone her ideals and pursuits.
But she never expected that after the fall of the Qi Dynasty, she would experience the feeling of being respected as an independent person for the first time in front of the new emperor.
"Wanjun, you may not know that you have been the anchor in my heart since I came to the throne." Gu Xu was silent for a moment and then said.
"Anchor?" Xiao Wanjun was slightly startled, not understanding why he used such a metaphor.
"I am not the Ziwei Emperor you know who has lived for thousands of years, been enshrined on the altar, and was reincarnated in the wilderness," Gu Xu said in a calm tone, something that can make all people in the wilderness The shocking truth, "He has been planning to seize my body to achieve rebirth.
"But he failed, and I inherited everything from him."
Xiao Wanjun looked at him with wide eyes, trying to digest the huge amount of information contained in his few words.
However, she vaguely felt that the young man in front of her did not look like a god who fell from the sky - his various decision-making policies, words and deeds after he ascended the throne seemed "very down-to-earth", which made her feel more Like that familiar boy from the wilderness.
"The biggest reason for Emperor Ziwei's failure in seizing the body is that his unfettered power for a long time has gradually made him arrogant and arrogant," Gu Xu continued to explain, "His cultivation level is enough to arrogantly surpass anyone except Emperor Haotian." His authority can even influence the thoughts of others and make everyone obey his orders
"As time went by, he began to regard himself as superior to others and treat others as nothing.
"His original intention was to hope that everyone in the Lingxiao world would be like a dragon, so he created the 'Way of Astrological Destiny', changing the original pattern in the Lingxiao world where fate was determined by blood.
"However, later on, he called himself the 'Purple Star', above everyone else, and regarded himself as an omnipotent god who established the order of the new era.
"It was precisely because of his increasing expansion that his men chose to betray him, and he was defeated by Taishang Haotian, and died completely in my hands thousands of years later.
“I don’t want to make the same mistake he made and get lost in that feeling of being in control and doing whatever you want.
"If I indulge myself, I will become the most terrifying scourge in the wild world."
Xiao Wanjun listened to his narration silently.
She knew very well that His Majesty's strength and authority now far exceeded that of Emperor Ziwei thousands of years ago.
Emperor Ziwei still has Supreme Haotian to check and balance him, but in today's great wilderness, His Majesty can be said to be truly unequivocal.
If he is willing, he can even force the people of the country to sing praises for him every day, he can include all the beauties in the country into the harem, he can build a magnificent palace, he can sing nightingales and dance in wine pools and meat forests...
"That's why I always let you stay by my side," Gu Xu paused, looked into Xiao Wanjun's eyes, and said, "Although I am greedy for your beauty, I also need your luck. But in order not to lose myself, I must respect your will and treat you as an equal and independent person
"When a mortal who is extremely weak in front of me can make achievements and pursue what he wants to do without any worries, then my Taoist heart can be as strong as ever and I can keep my original self."
