Chapter 483 Wang Ruyi
The man opened his lips like yesterday, but no sound came out, only the shape of his lips was used to communicate. It was the prisoner whose self-esteem was shattered, who was suffering, whose true self was covered in dust, and she read his lips and said, "Drinking?"
Her eyes were red as she looked at the figure on the windowsill, and ripples appeared in her eyes. Since she was stripped of her name, the only person in white who had received half an inch of equal attention was her.
A drinking buddy came in the middle of the night. Maybe it was God's pity, or maybe it was something else. She lowered her head, bit off the wine cap with her mouth, and took a deep sip. Although she looked very embarrassed, the wine went into her heart and she was drunk. The hardships on the road, the humiliation in the building, and the uncertainty of the future all seemed to fade a lot.
The wine has a mellow aroma, like plum blossoms in December and the warmth of spring days, with a unique flavor of time.
With yesterday's experience in mind, she deliberately took a sip longer, then suddenly lay on the ground, savoring the taste of the wine and looking up at the person on the windowsill.
"So handsome..." She thought to herself, not wanting to look away. Such beautiful things, and things that were willing to be good to her, had always been too few and too few.
Especially at this time, being stripped of one's name, everything in the end disappears into thin air, like a human but not a human, wrapped in a black robe for the rest of one's life, it is a blessing in disguise to have such an experience.
Even if the first half of one's life was glorious, at the moment of death, one can still have a sip of "beheading wine", which, after all, can add a bit of alcohol to the future journey.
But it’s not bad.
Li Changxiao stretched out his hand with a smile, and the gourd flew into his hand. He drank it in big gulps, several big mouthfuls in a row, which made the prisoner greedy.
Li Changxiao said with his lips: "What's your name?"
The prisoner read the lips, then his whole body trembled, tears welled up in his eyes and he became choked. What was the point of calling someone a name?
She is already a nobody.
So she shook her head lightly and stopped answering. Li Changxiao saw this and said, "My name is Li Changxiao."
"Li Changxiao... Changxiao..." The prisoner weighed every word carefully, pondering the charm in the words, and felt that the mother in white must be a very gentle person.
I don’t hope my son will become a dragon, but I hope he will smile all the time.
Maybe... he is also a very gentle person.
Li Changxiao asked again: "I should know you. You owe me two sips of wine... No, three sips. You just took a sip."
After hearing these words, the prisoner, who was originally sad, smiled for some reason. Although his face was covered with mud, his smile was creepy, and the arc of his narrowed eyes was very beautiful.
She hesitated for a long time, then opened her lips and said, "King..."
As soon as he uttered a word, he felt his heart begin to panic, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. His breath was stuck in his chest, neither going up nor down, as if someone was strangling his throat.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead and pain was revealed in her eyes. She wanted to give up, but she saw the encouraging eyes of the guest sitting on the windowsill, who was looking at her gently all the time.
Without a trace of discrimination, that gaze was as red as the scorching sun, shining into the dirty, smelly, dark stable that the moon was unwilling to set foot in.
She actually had the illusion that she was standing in the sun again. She opened her lips again.
But she was afraid again, not knowing what she was afraid of, but the fear spread throughout her heart, filled her whole body, and flowed to her limbs, bones, and even every hair and every toe.
"Power and status will eventually dissipate, like passing clouds, but the true self will not. My friend, tell me your name." Li Changxiao no longer spoke with his lips. His voice was light and passed into the prisoner's ears.
The next moment, the prisoner closed his eyes and said in a broken voice: "Wang Ruyi."
The sound was hoarse, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other.
After she finished speaking, she gasped for breath, as if she had used up all her strength. She looked around and suddenly woke up. Although she lived in a stable, with dirty stench and flies flying around her ears, she was not wrong.
She is still Wang Ruyi. Her power and status may be taken away, but her true self cannot be taken away.
That is her true self, her name is Wang Ruyi.
"All the best to you, hello, Wang Ruyi." Li Changxiao leaned against the window sill, the breeze blew by, he pointed his finger at the cup, and toasted to the empty room deep in the stable.
Wang Ruyi's eyes were filled with tears as she stared blankly at the windowsill. In her eyes, the people and the moon were reflected against each other, spotless and pure. How could it not be a beautiful painting?
When a gentle breeze blew by, she came to her senses and found that the window was already closed.
Whether it's a dream or a person, she treats it like a treasure, savoring the lingering wine in her mouth and the elegance of the person by the windowsill.
"Thank you." Wang Ruyi murmured. She lay down lightly and fell asleep like this. Although she was still in pain, still afraid, and still scared, her heart was different.
The punishment of deprivation of reputation can deprive you of your worldly reputation, but it cannot deprive you of your true self.
I am Wang Ruyi, why shouldn't I speak up?
……
Dayu City.
Deep in the imperial city, the young girl Xiaozhen has sat high on the dragon throne as she wished, looking down on all living beings and becoming the most noble person.
With the help of the mermaid, she wanted to chop off the empress's head without any effort and put an end to it once and for all.
However, Ji Beiming told her that this was inappropriate. After another conversation, she realized that the throne was not as simple as she had imagined. She sat on the chair and wore the imperial robes. She wore all the clothes in the palace. Although many of them did not fit her, she tried them on a few times and became extremely jealous and angry. She dug a big pit and burned all the clothes along with some of her writings on governing the country.
Ji Beiming told him that the emperor of any country is a person who carries the destiny of a country and the life and death of all people. Although Xiaozhen, who was born a beggar, could not be considered an emperor.
There are only two and a half ways to change the country's ownership. One is to start an army and seize it by force.
Second: the monarch abdicates.
The last half method: stealing. The first two methods, Xiao Zhen would never meet the requirements. They were willing to ask Ji Beiming for advice, but they all knew that Xiao Zhen was not cut out for this.
To start an army, one needs courage and determination, and needs operation and development. To abdicate, one also needs strength and the support of the people. Therefore, the only feasible strategy is the last half method, which is... stealing.
Stealing the throne, and even stealing the fate, he put the fate of the country on the shoulders of the original emperor on Xiaozhen's shoulders. The mermaids must be good at this, and they have been stealing in dreams for a long time.
However, stealing dreams and thoughts is still acceptable, but one cannot mess with the country's destiny, or it is not easy to mess with it.
Ji Beiming and the young girl Xiaozhen discovered the punishment of stripping of name at this time. Xiaozhen felt that it was more appropriate than beheading. Ji Beiming thought that they could use this opportunity to break the emperor's heart. When the emperor's heart was broken, his luck would be scattered, which would naturally be easier to steal.
So the two of them hit it off immediately and sentenced the empress, who was imprisoned in the deep palace, to the punishment of stripping her name. Xiaozhen witnessed the whole process of the punishment with her own eyes.
She looked at the empress and saw the fear in her eyes when she was stripped of her name. She was entangled in the ropes of guilt, put in a robe that could not be taken off, and then covered with mud, her appearance was completely changed.
I think it is the most interesting thing in the world.
"Strip him of his name and send him to the southernmost place." Xiao Zhen imitated her and gave the order.
now.
Deep inside the palace, Ji Beiming's eyes flashed with annoyance.
I never thought that a mere mortal emperor could be so difficult to deal with. My heart, which was about to break, stabilized again.
I can only wait for the next trip.
"Brother Bei Ming, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Zhen came.
"Nothing." Ji Beiming smiled gently, "Did you change into a new dress?"
"Does it look good?" Xiao Zhen danced gracefully, full of anticipation.
