Chapter 589 The Final Intoxication
Inside the secret room, Lan Qingwu and Emperor Shenwu were drawing on their desks. Emperor Shenwu took the thinnest charcoal pencil and with just a few strokes, he created a lifelike image of the little prince. Lan Qingwu was stunned, "Brother Heng, who are you drawing?"
Emperor Shenwu said, "This is our first child, Ruo Ruo, take a look!"
Lan Qingwu looked at it for a long while, and said unconvincedly, "Brother Heng, why does this first child look exactly like you? Isn't this my child? How come he doesn't look like me at all?"
Emperor Shenwu chuckled and said, "Wei Ruo Ruo, if you want your child to look like you, that's easy. The second child will definitely look half like you and half like me. By the time you get the third child, he'll only look a little like me, and most of him will look like Wei Ruo Ruo. Come, I'll draw it for you!"
After Lan Qingwu saw the other two children painted by Emperor Shenwu, he was even more dissatisfied. "Why do all three children look like you? Isn't there a child who looks exactly like me?"
Emperor Shenwu spread his hands and said, "I have no idea what to do with this! How about I just draw one?"
Lan Qingwu was lost in thought as he stared at the three children: "Brother Heng, will our children really look like this?"
The Shenwu Emperor's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "Is it kind for me to look at them?"
Lan Qingwu nodded gently, and the Emperor Shenwu hugged her, "Wei Ruo can also give our child some nice names."
"Okay! But now I have to paint some more."
Lan Qingwu picked up the paintbrush, thought for a moment, and added the figures of herself and the Emperor Shenwu to the drawing paper. She painted carefully, stroke by stroke: "This looks much more comfortable now!"
The eyes of the Emperor Shenwu were filled with bitterness. He whispered, "Ruoruo, is there anything else you want to do? I will be with you and make it happen for you!"
Lan Qingwu turned his face, reached out to put his arm around the Emperor's neck, and gently pressed his lips against his cheek. This kiss was like a butterfly landing on a peach petal, stained with the clearest morning dew, sweet yet devoid of lust, pure as petals of blooming white jasmine, sweet as drops of fragrant honey from peach blossom stamens.
"Brother Heng, you are so nice!"
The Shenwu Emperor, however, abandoned all rationality because of this kiss. He suddenly stood up, picked up Lan Qingwu horizontally, and walked towards the bed. Lan Qingwu's skirt danced in a graceful arc. She was instantly nervous, but then Lan Qingwu could no longer think. She felt as if she was being stared at by a wild beast.
And then Lan Qingwu also fully understood the madness of Emperor Shenwu. In the end, she had turned into a pool of spring water, and Emperor Shenwu became even more unscrupulous. The two hugged each other tightly, as if their bones and blood had already merged together.
In the end, Lan Qingwu's mind was completely blank. She had no consciousness at all and just clung to the Emperor Shenwu instinctively.
Lan Qingwu trembled slightly, and the tears forced out of her by the Divine Martial Emperor were licked clean by him one by one. The moment on the bed wasn't over yet, as the Divine Martial Emperor carried Lan Qingwu to the bathtub. Lan Qingwu leaned against the wall of the bathtub, and she repeatedly slipped out of the Divine Martial Emperor's arms, only to be lifted up by the waist and held tightly...
Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu, whose eyes were misty and radiant, and sighed softly: "How can I bear to let Ruo Ruo go!"
No one heard his sigh. Lan Qingwu had already become confused and disoriented, without any ability to think at all!
In the next few days, Emperor Shenwu fulfilled Lan Qingwu's wishes one by one. They painted many paintings together. Lan Qingwu also sang songs softly in Emperor Shenwu's ears. She said that she wanted to watch Yun Heng dance with a sword for her. Emperor Shenwu then quietly took Lan Qingwu to the peach blossom forest in the palace, and danced with a thousand leaves with a sword!
At night, Emperor Shenwu took Lan Qingwu to the side hall where fish were raised. Lan Qingwu opened his watery eyes wide and looked at the black dragon and silver phoenix fish in the huge glass tank with surprise.
"Brother Heng, they are so beautiful!"
At this time, the black dragon fish swam over quickly, pushing aside the mist. Just as it was about to open its mouth wide at Lan Qingwu, the Divine Martial Emperor hugged Lan Qingwu from behind and said to the black dragon fish calmly, "You still dare to open your mouth? Starve for another three days!"
The ink dragon fish couldn't afford to offend the Emperor Shenwu. It glanced at Lan Qingwu, swung its tail proudly, turned its head and swam away. Behind it, a faint trace of ink flowed, which was gradually diluted by the new fresh water.
Lan Qingwu dragged the Divine Martial Emperor around the glass vat, his laughter resonating in the hall. "By the way, Brother Heng, why did you say 'again' just now?"
"Because this fish is a bully and afraid of the strong, this isn't the first time I've dealt with it!"
Lan Qingwu nodded, and she looked at the glass tank again, just in time to see a silver phoenix fish swimming towards her. The silver phoenix fish was beautiful and gentle, and its tail was like a flower blooming layer by layer, dreamy and beautiful. The colorful light on its snow-white scales was slightly flickering, and the silver phoenix fish looked at Lan Qingwu and gently spit out a string of bubbles at Lan Qingwu.
“So beautiful!”
Lan Qingwu reached out his hand and waved to the silver phoenix fish through the glass tank. The black dragon fish also came over, leaning against the silver phoenix fish's head and kissing it affectionately on the cheek.
Lan Qingwu stared blankly as the Divine Martial Emperor slowly recounted the story of the Black Dragon Silver Phoenix Fish. "This Black Dragon Silver Phoenix Fish lives in the Lingxi River deep within Qiling Mountain. It thrives in vast, clear waters. A pair of Black Dragon Silver Phoenix Fish must never encounter another of their kind in their lifetime, or they will refuse to eat or drink, becoming depressed and unhappy until they die!"
Lan Qingwu sighed, "They are so romantic and decisive!"
Emperor Shenwu admired Lan Qingwu's profile and said, "Wei Ruo, this is a fish I specially gave to you!"
It's impossible for us to be like this black dragon and silver phoenix fish in this life, Emperor Shenwu secretly swore in his heart, but if there is an afterlife, I, Zhou Xuheng, will definitely be together for the rest of my life! I will never let you down, Lan Qingwu again!
The next day, Emperor Shenwu arranged a carriage, and they quietly left the palace. The bustling scene on the long street excited the two of them. Holding hands, Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu strolled from one end of the long street to the other...
The beautiful, carefree dream not only intoxicated Lan Qingwu, but also wavered even the Shenwu Emperor's strong willpower. Otherwise, just live like this! Let Lan Qingwu indulge in this carefree fantasy, and he can possess her forever.
In Qianzheng Hall, Emperor Shenwu, having returned to reality, looked at his youngest son and daughter standing before him, his mind instantly clearing. The two children, surely missing Lan Qingwu so much, had come to him again, requesting to go to Wenquan Royal Manor. Even the Seventh Prince had secretly gone there, but to no avail. Meanwhile, the Seventh Princess, tearfully pleading, gazed at the Emperor. The wounds on her face had healed quickly, leaving only a few faint white marks.
At the same time, Emperor Shenwu also received news that Lan Qingwu's mother was seriously ill again. He immediately dispatched several imperial physicians to the border and prepared several carts of precious medicinal herbs. From all this, Emperor Shenwu realized that he could no longer trap Lan Qingwu in his dreams; his real family eagerly awaited his return.
In the past, the Emperor's love for Lan Qingwu was filled with selfishness, possessiveness, and domineering. But now, even for the sake of Yun Heng in the "Worry-Free Dream", the Emperor wanted to try to fulfill her wish. Although he knew that the price of fulfilling her wish might be high and he might not be able to accept it at all, he still wanted to try.
Inside the secret room, Lan Qingwu was being blindfolded by the Emperor Shenwu with a piece of white brocade. Lan Qingwu asked with some uneasiness, "Brother Heng, where are you taking me?"
Emperor Shenwu caressed Lan Qingwu's cheek obsessively. "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to see a tree full of peach blossoms? Although the peach blossoms have already fallen in the middle of summer, I can let you see this beautiful sight today!"
Lan Qingwu was surprised and asked, "Really? Brother Heng, can you really do this?"
Emperor Shenwu took Lan Qingwu's hand and said, "I'll take you there!"
The peach blossoms bloomed in full bloom, their beauty unparalleled. The peach trees in the palace were ablaze with blossoms, each one bursting from its branches, creating a gorgeous scene. A gentle breeze blew, and the petals drifted down, like soft, ethereal pink rain, leaving behind a delicate fragrance.
The peach blossoms are in full bloom, the whole tree is covered with colorful flowers, delicate and gorgeous, just like the shy face of a young girl. Clusters of peach blossoms and red clouds set off Lan Qingwu's expectant cheeks.
Emperor Shenwu stretched out his bony fingers and gently untied the knot of the white brocade. Lan Qingwu's eyelashes trembled like wings and he finally opened his eyes.
Lan Qingwu saw a sea of peach blossoms. She trotted lightly in surprise, "Brother Heng, it's so beautiful! You really did it!"
Emperor Shenwu watched Lan Qingwu dancing among the falling peach blossoms. He stared at the figure quietly and almost greedily.
This scene seemed to bring Emperor Shenwu back to the day many years ago when the two were about to part ways, under the same peach tree, with the same scene of falling peach blossoms.
Finally, Lan Qingwu stopped beside Emperor Shenwu. She held Emperor Shenwu's big hand and prepared to take him to see other scenery in Taoyuan.
Emperor Shenwu reached out and pulled Lan Qingwu over, saying solemnly, "Ruoruo, I have something to tell you!"
This time, I will confess first, I will take this step first, end the last "worry-free dream" of the two of them, and then Lan Qingwu will make the decision himself!
Lan Qingwu looked at Emperor Shenwu in confusion, staring at him silently, as if waiting for his voice.
Emperor Shenwu said with difficulty: "Ruoruo, I lied to you! I am not just Yun Heng, I have another identity. I am the seventh prince of the Dasheng Dynasty. I also have another identity and name - Zhou Xuheng! The seventh prince of the Dasheng Dynasty, Zhou Xuheng, is also me!"
Lan Qingwu listened quietly, her watery eyes wide open, as if she didn't understand what the man in front of her was saying.
The Shenwu Emperor looked Lan Qingwu in the eye seriously. "Ruoruo, listen carefully. Yun Heng is also Zhou Xuheng, and Zhou Xuheng is also Yun Heng! I concealed my identity and reached the border because of the training my father gave me!"
