Chapter 1901 Journey (V)
"Answer me a question."
Yun Che's voice suddenly changed, and they were still looking at each other, but his slightly condensed eyes seemed to turn into a compressed starry sky.
Cang Shu opened her lips: "The emperor wants to ask, what kind of feelings do I have towards the emperor?"
Ru Shui's soft words hit the point in Yun Che's heart that was about to be spoken. He nodded: "I want to hear the truth."
Cang Shu did not answer directly. The fragrant breeze blew lightly. She slowly moved forward and came to Yun Che. However, she bent down and gently placed her hands on Yun Che's, which were whiter than flawless jade. on lap.
When her eyes were looking directly at Yun Che, they were already looking up.
"The Emperor once thought that my concubine's emotions were scattered, that she no longer knew joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and that she had lost all the love between men and women. Even if she truly regarded her as an emperor's concubine, she would not receive feedback from her emotions and hearts, so it would be better to ignore her... The emperor Shang Geng believes that this is the best state for me. There is no need to pretend to be affectionate, force a smile, or pretend to be ingratiating. "
"..." Yun Che has really been thinking like this all along.
Before today, he had always believed that Cang Shusu was a person who basically had no feelings. Although she has a very beautiful appearance and a unique charm that is difficult to describe, cultivating a relationship with her will only be asking for trouble and being sentimental.
How could he, the venerable person of the four realms, kill the Dragon Queen and Goddess and do this!
"I will never see the light of day for ten thousand years, partly because of a serious illness in my body, and partly because of the pressure of the southern sea. Therefore, there may be distortions in my emotions that I am not aware of, and the things I give should be different from ordinary people." , and has a deep-seated dislike for men for a long time.”
"but……"
His eyes were slightly blurred, and a voice as slow as mist came from the Cang Shu's very close, pink lips like cherry blossoms: "Whether you believe in the Emperor or not...the first time you see the Emperor. , I will know that it will be eternity for the rest of my life.”
Yun Che was slightly stunned.
Cang Shu's eyes gradually became hazy, and her words were like orchid: "Does the Emperor know what is the most powerful and terrifying thing about him?"
"..." Yun Che's nose moved unconsciously. Although he was very thick-skinned and not afraid of anything, he was quite embarrassed to answer this question truthfully.
"In my eyes, it's not invincible power or unparalleled inheritance, but... eyes."
Emperor Yun's eyes suddenly narrowed: "Huh?"
"Although Ruiyi's words are deeply offensive and disrespectful, there is one thing that is irrefutable." Cang Shuji smiled slightly: "The emperor is half a century old, and as far as the emperor is concerned, he is more than young."
Ban Jiazi is the emperor, and throughout the entire history of the God Realm, there are only two of them.
One is Yun Che and the other is Xia Qingyue.
"However, the Emperor once settled in the ordinary, sank into the abyss, and stood proud at the top; he once saved the world from danger, and he once fell into a pool of blood..."
"In just a few decades, the vicissitudes of life that I have experienced are unparalleled by others. The world condensed in the eyes of the Emperor has the deepest, most special, and most terrifying color."
"With my cold and lonely heart and fear of men, it must be extremely difficult to fall in love with any man. And the emperor... stared at you for a moment, the color in your eyes, knowing that it will be dangerous and difficult to return, but it makes people The uncontrollable desire to be curious...to get close...to explore...to sink deep...to sink..."
Cang Shuji's life for thousands of years has always been dull and cold, but Yun Che's just a few decades have been filled with huge ups and downs again and again.
It is also because of this that Yun Che's invisible attraction to Cang Shu is more fatal than other women.
Yun Che vaguely remembered that when he was in the Northern God Territory, Chi Wuyao also said similar words, but they were far less direct and straightforward than Cang Shushu.
But now he really wants to find a mirror and study what outrageous things are hidden in his eyes.
Cang Shu looked at him, and her words gradually turned into confused murmurs: "If one day, the Emperor is faced with a powerful woman who cannot be convinced, don't forget, [compared to strength, your hands are too easy to make people curious and fall." Eyes are the best weapons].”
Yun Che lowered his gaze and said extremely seriously: "Isn't it my face that is more useful?"
Cang Shu's crescent eyebrows relaxed slightly, she pursed her lips and smiled: "The emperor said so, of course it is."
Yun Che lowered his gaze, and then gently took the jade hands that were placed on his knees. His fingers suddenly felt as if they were touching snow, and they were so tender and tender.
"Tea, food, books, and instruments... Anyone who makes a difference can become famous and proud throughout his life, but such a perfect pair of hands can reach the pinnacle of perfection. Thinking about it carefully, it is a bit heartbreaking."
Cang Shuji shook her head gently: "I just felt depressed before. Only by trying to concentrate on these things can time go a little faster."
"But now, I feel quite lucky." Cang Shus voice paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to try to practice cooking with me?"
"Me? Cooking?"
These were two words that had nothing to do with him in Yun Che's consciousness, and he directly replied: "It's a boring joke."
Cang Shuji said eloquently: "In the vast world, cultivating the occult has always been paramount in ancient times. Among the secular desires, there is also the desire to pursue the occult, the desire for power, the desire for sensuality... but the desire for food will always be abandoned. At the bottom, I don’t bother to chase it.”
"However, among human beings' six desires, food corresponds to the desires of the mouth and nose. Even if the desire for food is deliberately ignored, it still exists completely in human nature. Once awakened by a strong enough desire, it will pull the will. Perhaps no weaker than any worldly desire.”
Cang Shu's words are indeed reasonable, but Yun Che still finds it funny: "I have no interest in this. Besides, you are my imperial concubine. With you by my side, why should I come in person."
"The Emperor said this, I am very happy." Cang Shu said softly: "It's just that the time I can spend with the Emperor is running out."
Yun Che: "..."
"And in my eyes, the emperor is the most talented person in this way, so in my heart... it is really difficult to suppress this thought."
"Me? The most talented?" Yun Che's lips twitched slightly: "How come I don't know?"
Cang Shuji said slowly: "The same tea leaf, with different techniques, can produce hundreds of fragrances. And the cooking methods: steam, boil, smoke, cook, stir-fry, simmer, stew, stick, bake, boil, simmer, and stew , braised, roasted, pickled...it’s ever-changing and has different tastes.”
"Apart from the recipes and techniques that can be directly taught and gradually learned, the core and most difficult part is the selection and processing of ingredients and...the exquisite control of the heat."
"As far as I know, the emperor is very good at medicine, and he has been gifted by the wood spirit. He is familiar with all the trees in the world, and his inner quality and age can be discerned just by the breath. And the Sky Poison Pearl controlled by the emperor, In ancient records, it has the most extreme purifying and tempering power in the world."
"Therefore, with the ingredients, the emperor can easily achieve the perfection that others cannot ask for. Even my concubine cannot compare with the emperor."
Yun Che: "emmm..."
That's true, but using the Sky Poison Pearl's ability to cook...
He Ling was completely obedient to him and would certainly not object.
But if the ancient Sky Poison Poison Spirit knew about it, he might not be angry enough to survive.
Cang Shuji continued: "As for the heat... when it comes to controlling flames, who in this world can compare with the Emperor."
Just as Yun Che was about to say goodbye to her thoughts that were inconsistent with his own, Cang Shubi's next words stabbed him hard in the heart:
"Doesn't God want your daughter, your family and concubines to enjoy the most delicious food in the world at any time... and the food cooked by you yourself?"
The words that were about to be spoken were swallowed silently by the touching feeling in his heart, and were replaced by a sudden deep emotion.
Yun Wuxin's expression of surprise and happiness just now was still before his eyes. At that time, he even felt quite satisfied.
Silently, he looked at his palms... It had been a while since he returned to Blue Pole Star, but in his heart, he still often felt guilty and deeply self-blame for his daughter.
He is trying very hard to think of ways to make up for it and become a better father.
If it is like what Cang Shu said... it would be an excellent thing not only for Wu Xin, but also for all the family members, and at the same time for herself.
And it's very easy for me to achieve a state that others can hardly achieve in their lifetimes... Isn't it that difficult?
The change in Yun Che's eyes made Cang Shu smile sweetly: "So, the emperor, do you want to give it a try? Perhaps, the emperor will discover another wonderful world that was unexpected."
…………
After dawdling for several hours, Yun Wuxin returned to the palace, followed by Rui Yi who was full of anxiety.
After being impulsive, she already regretted it.
"Father, I'm back." Yun Wuxin's face was full of joy, obviously having a great time.
After shouting, she looked at her father and Cang Shu in the palace, and said softly "Eh" on her lips.
Yun Che and Cang Shu were standing side by side in front of the case, separated by only half a body. What surprised Yun Wuxin the most was the change in his father's aura.
Perhaps it is a kind of vigilance against foreign objects, or perhaps it is the pride of being an emperor. When outsiders are around, there will always be an invisible aura of isolation around my father, completely blocking the close contact of their breath. Even if he takes her walking in a bustling town, he will not be contaminated by anyone else's breath.
And when getting along with her, mother and others, this layer of isolation will naturally dissipate.
Although her profound Taoist cultivation was far from being able to understand her father's realm, she could vaguely sense that her father's isolation aura was not intentional, but an instinctive reaction naturally formed by the body over the years.
When he faced Cang Shuhu before, his isolation aura had always existed.
But at this moment, it disappeared.
When the two of them are close to each other, their breaths are in constant contact.
The slight smile on the corner of Cang Shu's lips was still gentle and beautiful, but it also had an extremely moving brightness.
"Where did you go to play?" Yun Che looked up at her. In fact, his spiritual sense has been following Yun Wuxin, and he is really overly concerned and overprotective.
"The clothes in Canglan Realm are really beautiful. I couldn't help but try them on. And I really want to see Aunt Shusu look like wearing them."
After saying that, she no longer thought about showing her Huanshui Lanyi to her father. A pair of bright eyes wandered back and forth between Yun Che and Cang Shu, and then she said weakly: "Should I... shouldn't come back?"
Yun Che could see through his daughter's thoughts at a glance: "Come here quickly, don't run around anymore."
It was obvious that although it was only the first time they met, Yun Wuxin liked Cang Shuxi very much.
"Rui Yi, come in too." Cang Shu also called softly.
Rui Yi behind him did not sense Yun Che's gaze, nor his murderous intent. After hearing Cang Shuxi's words, she finally raised her steps, lowered her head, and moved forward very slowly.
At this moment, Yun Che suddenly raised his head and stared directly at Rui Yi: "I'll give you a chance to apologize. Kneel down."
Rui Yi bit her lip fiercely. She sensed the gentle look in Cang Shu's eyes and did not want to disappoint Yun Wuxin's kindness. She knelt down slowly and bowed her head deeply, saying: "My words were rude and disrespectful. I hope that Emperor Yun will forgive me."
"Rude and disrespectful? You mean, you don't think you have done anything wrong?" Yun Che's eyes turned cold.
"..." Rui Yi lowered her head and bit her lip, not denying or begging for mercy.
"It's better to keep your mouth shut forever than to apologize so reluctantly." Yun Che's eyes half-slanted: "Do you really think you are so proud and every word is correct? Then I might as well tell you something."
"You said that when I helped Concubine Cang Lan's divine power, I also severely damaged her life span."
"Then how do you know that I can't extend her life!?"
With just one sentence, Rui Yi, who refused to give in to Yun Che's killing intent, raised her head fiercely, and her beautiful eyes trembled like broken stars.
"You...what did you say?" She was excited, surprised, and unbelievable: "You...you really have a way?"
"Hmph! If I, the concubine of Emperor Yun, die prematurely, won't the world laugh at my incompetence!" Yun Che snorted coldly: "You are at least a mid-term God Lord, but you actually use your shallow cognition to measure my power, stupid and ridiculous!"
Yun Che's ridicule, Rui Yi did not feel angry or humiliated at all. Tears appeared in her eyes, and there was no more arrogance in her posture and words: "The maid knows her fault...If the emperor can keep the young lady safe for a long time, the maid will let the emperor deal with it!"
"Ridiculous, I can deal with you at will!" Yun Che looked down coldly.
Rui Yi was stunned, looking at Yun Che's angry face, she was afraid that this anger caused by herself would implicate Cang Shu'er. Then, she said with a determined look: "I am ignorant and reckless, self-righteous, and have committed an unforgivable mistake... As long as I can appease the emperor's anger, I will have no complaints no matter how I am punished and make amends."
"Really!"
Yun Che's voice was still as cold as ice: "You have accompanied Concubine Yan for thousands of years. Today's crime is also for her injustice. If I kill you, I am afraid that Concubine Yan's heart will be chilled. It is not worth it to do this for a maid like you."
"I have changed my mind and plan to stay in Canglan for a while and temporarily live in Canglan Palace."
"Since you want to make amends so much," he slowly raised his hand, pointing his slightly drooping fingertips at Rui Yi: "Then tonight, you will serve me in bed."
