Shen Guilan and Murong Jue were almost driven crazy as they watched helplessly as Huo Wei closed the door.
Murong Jue pointed at Sheng Yunqi's nose and shouted, "You South Chu person! Are you crazy? If you can't speak properly, you might as well eat shit! I'll kill you later!"
Shen Guilan took a few steps forward and angrily threw his outer robe on the ground.
"Huo Aman, can you stop going crazy at such a critical moment?
This is something that can save your life. What are you stalling for? The two soldiers who brought you back are both dead now. What on earth are you doing?"
Murong Jue stared blankly over. The usually calm and upright Military Advisor Shen, the resourceful and calculating Shen, was now on the verge of complete madness.
It seemed that he was really extremely anxious.
"Brother, don't listen to that South Chu person's nonsense. You have a chance to live. What are you hesitating about?" Murong Jue also shouted towards the inside.
What Sheng Yunqi had said just now was really heart - rending.
Firstly, Huo Wei didn't dare to simply promise that he could take full responsibility for Dugu Luanyue's life. After all, he lived a life on the edge of a knife, and he still had revenge to seek. He didn't even know how long he could live.
Secondly, this thing was too precious. If Dugu Luanyue really encountered some trouble in the future and didn't have this treasure, wouldn't she be doomed?
He also thought this thing was too heavy for him to bear, and he didn't dare to take it and eat it himself.
Dugu Luanyue gave Sheng Yunqi a fierce glare and ignored him. She took a few steps forward. "Huo Wei, open the door. Or if you don't, I'll break in."
The door didn't budge at all, and there was no movement from Huo Wei inside.
Dugu Luanyue was extremely anxious, and her voice became urgent.
"Fine, if you won't eat it, I'll come in and feed it to you. Then you can infect me with this mutated plague. Anyway, there's only one Golden Elixir. Today, either you die or I die."
Hearing this, Huo Wei quickly opened the door.
"Dugu Luanyue, there's only one of this thing. What do you give it to me for?
You keep it for yourself. I'm too lazy to live anyway. These years, living has had little meaning for me."
Dugu Luanyue's voice softened, as if she was stroking the fur of a wild beast.
"Yes, I know you're tired. The God of War on the battlefield not only represents power but also the one with countless lives on his hands.
One general's success is built on ten thousand skeletons. I know you're tired of this life of blood - stained hands.
In your eyes, power is used to protect the weak, not to slaughter lives;
Deploying troops and forming strategies is used to defend the border, not to plunder and fight;
Strategies and wits are used to solve problems, not to scheme and harm others.
You have a bright moon in your heart, but you're in the gutter, being devoured by darkness. I can feel that many things you do now are things you don't like.
But you have to live on. Only then will there be hope in the future to do what you like, right?"
Huo Wei lay on the threshold. His fierce eyebrows and eyes turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes. It was the first time someone had talked to him like this, and it was the first time someone had understood all the helplessness and suffering deep in his heart.
She was telling him that he had to live on. Maybe there would be a chance to live the life he liked.
Huo Wei's face was pale, but his lips had turned black - purple. His voice was extremely weak.
"Stop rambling on like a writer here."
He didn't dare to listen anymore. He was afraid that if he listened a bit more, he would cry, and Shen Guilan would laugh at him in front of his grave after he died.
Since she had met Huo Wei, Dugu Luanyue had thought that this man was full of killing intent, with a gloomy disposition. He seemed decisive in killing, but he was often conflicted.
In his life, there were only goals, no self.
Dugu Luanyue could feel that Huo Wei didn't like that life goal.
In his life, there was only the glory gained from killing, but no redemption from justice and kindness.
Shen Guilan's eyes twitched slightly. He suddenly looked at Dugu Luanyue, his throat felt sour, and he lowered his head.
It seemed that this Empress Dugu was really not simple for her previous success in scheming and seducing Huo Wei.
Even he himself hadn't realized that Huo Wei actually hated revenge.
He hated it so much that he didn't care if he died. He had little attachment to this world.
Who wouldn't be touched by such words that went straight to the bottom of one's heart?
Dugu Luanyue took a step forward.
"I'm not rambling. All of the above is just my understanding of you.
You don't like your current life. You're different from me. Everything I do now is what I'm willing to do. I'm in pain but also happy, so I hope more than anyone else that I can live on.
In the future, I'll be more careful in the Northern Yan Palace. Things that put my life in danger probably won't happen.
If they do, I won't regret giving you this Golden Elixir today."
Huo Wei watched her approaching step by step and closed the door a bit more. "Stop there!"
Dugu Luanyue said, "You like going crazy, right? Fine, let's go crazy together."
Huo Wei got scared and quickly reached out to grab the Ruyi Lock in his hand. "Okay, I'll eat it. But before I do, you answer me a question first."
Shen Guilan rolled his eyes so hard that they almost reached the sky. "You're really crazy, Huo Wei. I'll whip your corpse later. Believe it or not!"
Huo Wei ignored Shen Guilan. He looked at Dugu Luanyue with weak and pitiful eyes.
"Am I really just an ally to you, as you said? Nothing more?"
Aunt Meijiang and Shen Guilan both simultaneously put their palms on their foreheads. Here it goes again, here it goes again!
The two of them had experienced Huo Wei's crazy behavior like this before. They were really fed up. They shook their heads repeatedly and sighed helplessly.
Aunt Meijiang couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, the Prince of Yuzhang, you're really something."
Dugu Luanyue pursed her lips and suppressed the anger rising in her heart. "Yes. Eat it and I'll tell you."
Huo Wei looked at Sheng Yunqi and said, "Then am I more important, or is your old lover more important?"
That Sheng Yunqi was really heart - rending, wasn't he? Well, he could do it too!
Dugu Luanyue couldn't hold back her anger anymore and roared,
"Huo Wei, are you going crazy again? You're really a lunatic. At a time like this, you're still asking this!"
She stared at Huo Wei with raging anger. The sparks in her black eyes were almost about to burst out. Sometimes she really wanted to rush up and strangle him.
Huo Wei coughed sharply and whispered, "This is very important to me. If I'm just an ally to you, then why do you bother to give this to me to eat?"
Murong Jue knelt weakly below the steps and said weakly,
"I'm so tired, brother. Please, just swallow it in one mouthful. Can't you ask these questions after you've eaten it?"
Huo Wei stared straight at Dugu Luanyue with his eyes fixed. He gritted his teeth and said with all his last strength,
"Anyway, you're very important to me. You're so important that you break my rules again and again, tear at my bottom line, and go against my ethics.
You've made me so nervous. I don't look like a human or a ghost. You're always on my mind.
I dream about you at night. During the day, I get angry when I see Murong Min in court, happy when I'm on duty in the harem, and excited when I climb over the wall to see you.
Your voice is nice, you're smart, and you're good - looking. You're perfect in every way."
It's just that you don't belong to me.
Dugu Luanyue stood in the sun, feeling like she was being burned by a fire. She swallowed hard. With all these people in the yard, she was about to be driven crazy too.
She forced a faint smile and looked at Huo Wei with her charming jade eyes.
