Chapter 709 Why Not Go Back?

In the palace hall, Zhao Heng hastily explained to his master, and finally followed the empress to leave.

When leaving the palace hall, Zhao Heng clearly remembered the shocked and dazed eyes of his master and fellow disciples.

Especially the eldest brother Qi Hongyuan, who looked like he was not smiling, not crying, shocked and embarrassed, embarrassed and inferior, and his complex eyes were full of "I am a clown".

Zhao Heng remembered it very clearly and felt very sympathetic.

Before leaving, Zhao Heng could only comfort Qi Hongyuan with a voice transmission.

"Brother, I will not go to the Golden Phoenix Pavilion tonight. I will introduce you to the four courtesans of the Golden Phoenix Pavilion next time. They are all my confidantes."

Watching the backs of Zhao Heng and the empress disappear in the palace hall.

Qi Hongyuan was stunned for a long time, and finally turned around and left, as if he had made up his mind and never looked back.

In the hall, Mu Xuan and others finally came to their senses.

Mu Xuan couldn't help but think in her heart: "This kid, isn't he with Qingxue... why is he with Empress Shengyuan... ah, young people nowadays.

However, in this way, the alliance between my Yuhua Sect and the royal family will be more stable. He is worthy of being my proud disciple, and he is really promising!"

...

At the same time, in the west square of the harem, on the top of a tower towering into the clouds.

Two figures sat on the top of the tower, with a sky full of stars above their heads, overlooking the imperial capital and the entire Shengyuan City.

"Do you still remember this tower?"

Empress Shengyuan looked up at the starry sky and asked casually.

Zhao Heng, who was standing aside, glanced at the tower under his feet.

"Is this... Zhaixing Tower?"

Zhao Heng remembered that it was under this tower that he killed Emperor Haoyuan, who was refined into a puppet.

It was also here that he drank and had a spring breeze with the empress.

"Yes, when the capital was moved, I put Zhaixing Tower into the storage ring and brought it here, as a thought."

Zhao Heng was slightly startled and looked at the empress.

The empress still looked at the starry sky and muttered to herself.

"Since the war between good and evil began, the secular world has been in chaos. I finally put this empire on the right track and let the people live a peaceful and prosperous life.

But those people, just for their own selfishness, want to stir up chaos in the world and make people live in misery.

I personally led the army, fought in the south and the north, emptied the treasury, and provided relief to the victims, but it was still useless.

After all, they are a high and mighty sect with a deep foundation. In their eyes, ordinary mortals are no different from ants.

And in their eyes, I, the emperor, am just a chess piece and a puppet.

Since you don't listen to orders, just destroy them."

The empress laughed at herself and slowly lowered her head.

"Over the years, whenever I feel disappointed and lonely, when I want to give up, I will climb this Zhaixing Tower and think of you.

I will think that if you are by my side, you will definitely help me with strategies and help me out of trouble.

I will think that if I give up resistance and let others occupy the palace and this Zhaixing Tower, you will not be able to find your home when you come back.

I will also think that if something really happens to you and I die, no one will avenge you or burn incense for you..."

At this moment, the empress slowly raised her lowered eyes, and a scorching light shone in her eyes, staring straight at Zhao Heng.

Her eyes are always aloof, majestic and indifferent on weekdays.

At this moment, she took off all her disguises, revealing a rare tenderness, becoming misty and her eyes slightly red.

"You have supported me all the way to now. I miss you so much, but... I hate you so much too!

Why do you make me suffer so much? Why do you make me worry about you all the time? Why don't you give me a little more hope? Let me know that you are safe and sound?"

Under the starry sky, on the top of the Star-Picking Tower, the empress who was wearing a luxurious dragon robe, with a beautiful appearance that made the stars pale in comparison, and who ruled over the vast rivers and mountains, began to sob slightly, aggrieved like a young wife who was angry.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Heng's eyes trembled slightly.

Without saying much, he stretched out his hand and took the graceful body into his arms.

"I hate you, don't touch me!" The empress struggled angrily.

But Zhao Heng did not let go, and even hugged her harder.

The empress lowered her head and bit Zhao Heng's arm, biting very hard.

Zhao Heng let the empress vent her grievances, just holding her in his arms and whispering softly in his ears.

"I'm sorry, I promise you, no matter where I am in the future, I will never make you worry again."

The empress was slightly startled, and the force of biting Zhao Heng was much lighter.

Zhao Heng used one hand to gently stroke the empress's long black and smooth hair, and his tone was gentle and firm.

"Now that I'm back, I won't let anyone bully you again!"

The empress's body stagnated slightly, and finally slowly let go, looking at Zhao Heng with red eyes. The night wind blew her hair and messed up her jade face. The cherry red crystal lips were like a flower bud stained with rain and dew in spring, tender and moist.

Looking at this beautiful face that was so close, Zhao Heng finally couldn't help it, and lowered his head to hold that touch of "cherry red".

"Woo...!"

After a deep kiss under the starlight, the empress's jade face flushed, and her breathing was slightly rapid.

"Let's... go back to the room and sleep."

Zhao Heng understood, embraced the empress's delicate body, and flashed to the top floor room of Zhaixing Tower.

The room was decorated with red phoenix embroidered curtains, mandarin ducks playing in the water, and a beautiful couch and incense burner... Everything was clean and new.

Zhao Heng held the empress in his arms, walked around the mandarin duck screen in the inner room, rushed to the phoenix couch, took off his shoes and socks, and closed the red curtains... He reached out to untie his belt and undress the empress, but was stopped by a jade hand.

Zhao Heng thought that the empress was shy and that he was too reckless.

But a soft hand hooked his collar again. He lowered his head slightly and looked into the empress's moist and charming eyes.

"Last time we parted, I still didn't conceive a dragon heir. It must be that you didn't work hard enough. You have to make it up to me tonight.

I want to test whether you have been out to mess around with other women in these years!"

Zhao Heng's eyes moved, and he immediately understood that tonight's battle was "of extraordinary significance."

It seems that he must use all his skills to make the enemy army defeated, show his momentum and style, and dispel the other party's suspicion.

"Okay!"

"Hua La...!"

Finally, the bead curtain fell and the red curtain closed.

A rustling sound, accompanied by a strange sound, rose and fell.

The night was quiet, the evening breeze was gentle, and the tower room was warm like spring.

On the colorful embroidered screen that covered the beautiful couch in the inner room, a picture of "mandarin ducks playing in the water" was vivid.

The ripples on the water, the two mandarin ducks playing with each other, the affectionate and tender expressions, everything is portrayed in great detail.

Especially at this moment, the embroidered screen surface began to vibrate rhythmically for some reason, blurring the picture, but making it more vivid.

It seemed that the mandarin ducks were singing, and the wind was getting faster and the rain was getting heavier. The sound was so moving that it was almost soul-stirring...

It was not until the second half of the night that a sudden explosion was heard in the warm room on the top of the tower where the spring tide was surging.

"Boom!"

In the wing room, the red curtains were flying, the tables and chairs were broken to the ground, and even the mandarin duck screen was directly shattered by a strong energy wave.

The dim room was in a mess, with only rapid breathing and a whisper.

"Yu... Yu Qing, what happened to you just now?"

The air was silent for a while, and the shy but surprised voice of the empress sounded.

"It's all your fault... I couldn't help myself... and my realm broke through."

"That's fine, I haven't broken through yet, it's not fair, try again!"

"Ah..."
