Chapter 134


    When Liu Zhongtian heard the Emperor’s words, he was furious and widened his eyes in anger . He couldn’t believe what the Emperor said . He had granted the Emperor’s wish, yet the Emperor was mistreating Qiqi . How could he let this go?


    “Your Majesty, didn’t you promise Zhongtian to treat Qiqi properly?”


    “I am devoted to her, yet she ignored my feelings . She can only me herself . Also...” The Emperor looked at Liu Zhongtian, “I will go and write an edict and gift you a Royal Concubine . She is your Ning Yun-er . Don’t say that you are unwilling, that’s a royal decree!”


    “Zhongtian will reject this royal decree!” Liu Zhongtian said in a firm tone . His feelings for Qiqi in his heart caused him to be unable to ept other women .


    “That’s not up to you . ” The Emperor said lightly . He then walked up to Qiqi’s front, extended his finger and pinched Qiqi’s chin . Wei Qiqi retreated in disgust and furiously sweep the finger away .


    “Scram Emperor . The Great Han empire will fall in your hands sooner orter . You fatuous ruler who can’t discern between right and wrong . Liu Zhongtian did his part for the Great Han, fighting off the Xiongnu and kept giving you leeway . You repaid his kindness with revenge, snatching his women away from him time after time . The people are not talking about it not because they don’t know, but because they are scared of you . However, I Wei Qiqi, am different . You aren’t my Emperor . To me, you are just dust!”


    There was never someone who spoke about the Emperor in such a manner . The stimulus from these words was too great, causing the Emperor to stare nkly . He felt a multitude of emotions, “What did you say?”


    “I’m talking about you . You might as well just kill me . Don’t think about me serving you . Even if I die I won’t serve you!”


    “You rather die than submit to me?!” The Emperor felt an intense anger and hatred in his heart . How could this woman be so smug?


    “Yes, Wei Qiqi rather die!” Wei Qiqi spoke, her gaze was firm . She was a person from the future . If she couldn’t live together with her love, there was no point staying in Great Han .


    “Alright, since I can’t obtain you, there’s no reason to let you do whatever you want . I shall sentence you to death!” The Great Han Emperor was forced till he was insane . How could there be such a stubborn woman? He gave her a path to live, yet she asked for death .


    Liu Zhongtian had already written the divorce papers, yet he was unable to prevent the Emperor from sentencing Qiqi to death . He was extremely furious, “Your Majesty, Zhongtian had already written the papers to protect Qiqi’s life . The death immunity jade te is a gift from you to Qiqi, it also represents your thoughts for her . You can’t kill her . ”


    “Who said that I’m going to kill her, haha!” The Emperorughed crazily .


    “Wei Qiqi, Protector-General, listen to mymand . ” The Emperor sat back on the chair, “There are cracks between Gaojuli and Great Han . Lead troops to enter Beiping Province and Yuyang Province etc . The enemies are strong . I order you to brandish the banner and go on an expedition to attack Gaojuli with 5000 crack troops . Sign a life and death treaty with me . If you are defeated, then it’ll be a death sentence . If you win ande back, I’ll give you a reward!”


    When Liu Zhongtian heard that, he involuntarily frowned, “Your Majesty, Gaojuli’s troops are elites . Qiqi is only a woman, and you are only giving her 5000 troops . Aren’t you hoping that she’ll die in battle?”


    “Wei Qiqi need not go, as long as she serves me and make me happy!” The Emperorughed lightly . Scared? The Emperor was giving her a chance . She was after all only a woman, how long could shest? Would she choose to not enjoy good clothing and good food, and instead choose to fight in the battlefield?


    “Your Majesty . ” Liu Zhongtian’s eyes were red . He clenched his fists and was about to make his move when Wei Qiqi grabbed him . “Wei Qiqi receives her order . ”


    “Qiqi, you are crazy . ” Liu Zhongtian held her hands tightly . He wouldn’t let go no matter what, as if when he loosened his hand Qiqi would fly away .


    The Emperor looked coldly at Liu Zhongtian’s hand which was holding onto Qiqi . His heart felt something unpleasant . His love for Wei Qiqi wasn’t less than Liu Zhongtian . The more he loved, the more lost he felt . Since he couldn’t obtain it, he should let this woman disappear from this world, so he would no longer pine for her .


    “Xiaoyuzi, send General Qi back to the mansion . I’m also going back to the pce!” The Emperor sighed lightly . His pining for Wei Qiqi was written over his face, however he was helpless .


    After a hugemotion, the Duke’s manor finally settled down . Many people had left . The Emperor left, so did Qiqi . Liu Zhongtian was left alone in the big room . His heart was feeling empty . He had fought on battlefields for so many years, yet he couldn’t protect his woman . He was feeling remorseful, however his opponent was the Emperor . He couldn’t be killed nor offended . Neither could Liu Zhongtian revolt .


    Liu Zhongtian knew that the Emperor’s jealousy had gotten into his head . If Wei Qiqi really died on the battlefield fighting with Gaojuli, who knew if he would really be happy . A woman reced a man to stand on the forefront of Great Han . How would the annals record this, and how would the people mock Great Han .


    Liu Zhongtian sat nkly in front of the desk . He looked at the death immunity jade te in his hands . Wei Qiqi’s brilliance was everywhere . She thought of all possibilities, to even plead for such a token for him . Qiqi’s position in Liu Zhongtian’s heart was no longer just a woman . She was a reliance, a belief . If this woman disappeared, Liu Zhongtian wouldn’t know how to live out histter days .


    That jade te represented the sincere love Wei Qiqi had for Liu Zhongtian, making him feel extremelyforted . At the same time he was in extreme grief . Protecting this woman meant going against the Emperor . Liu Zhongtian had to make a choice .


    Ning Yun-er was resting outside the door in grief, looking at Liu Zhongtian with guilt . Her heart felt endless remorse and hatred . Ever since she came back and knew of the Emperor bringing troops into the Duke’s manor, she knew she had gotten into big trouble . She was hiding behind the window and looking at the heavily surrounded room . If she didn’t do what she wanted and swapped Wei Qiqi, how would the Emperor be so furious?


    If the Emperor had intimacy with Wei Qiqist night, there wouldn’t be such a scenario today .


    If the Emperor didn’t bump into Qiqi with the Duke, he wouldn’t want to kill the Duke .


    Now, because of her tantrum, she had lost her virginity and lost her honour . She also harmed the Duke . Ning Yun-er went into the room crying and knelt in front of Liu Zhongtian . She cried, “It was Yun-er who disappointed the Duke . ”


    Liu Zhongtian recovered from his painful thoughts and looked strangely at Ning Yun-er, “Yun-er, what are you doing...?”


    “What happenedst night was due to Yun-er’s jealousy . I thought that Duke was going to the General’s Mansion to look for Wei Qiqi . Hence I rushed to the mansion and swapped Wei Qiqi out . I wanted to share the night with Duke . . it was me who harmed you!”


    Ning Yun-er was unable to speak further . That night’s memory caused her to feel shame . She gave her body to man she didn’t know . Even though he was the supreme ruler, he was just a stranger to Ning Yun-er, not the Liu Zhongtian she loved . That night already caused her to have no fate with Third Duke .


    “You are saying that you are the one that brought Qiqi into the Duke’s manor...”


    “Wei Qiqi was drunk at that time . Yun-er had hatred in mind, hence I sent her out of the mansion and straight into her own room . I know my wrong, but I can’t salvage anything now!”


    It was only now that Liu Zhongtian understood . He didn’t me Ning Yun-er because she was doing it out of love . Liu Zhongtian didn’t know what to do now . If the Emperor had intimacy with Qiqist night, Liu Zhongtian would be suffering in hell now . However, those changesst night caused the Emperor to want to kill Qiqi . Everything was predestined, only fate could be med for ying with people .


    “Get up . ” Liu Zhongtian said helplessly . Things had already developed to this stage, what was the point of pinpointing me .


    “Duke, Yun-er feels worse than death . Yesterday night the Emperor took me for Wei Qiqi . I’m no longer a pure person . I have no face to see you!” Ning Yun-er felt much humiliation saying that . She really was an unlucky woman .


    “Yun-er...” Liu Zhongtian didn’t know how tofort her . No wonder the Emperor was so angry . Liu Zhongtian pitied her and lifted her up, “I’m not willing to marry you not because of your virginity . It is that I can’t let Qiqi go . She’s already in my heart . ”


    “Yun-er understands . I also saw it just now . me it on me being stupid, that’s how I harmed Duke and Royal Concubine!”


    “It’s good that you understand . I’ll find you a good ce of refuge . ”


    A refuge? What hopes could Ning Yun-er have at this moment? Maybe she could y the zither and dream of the Third Duke . However she could no longer stay at this familiar Duke’s manor . If she continued staying here, the Emperor would decree for her to marry Third Duke . If the Duke was unwilling he would face death penalty . She had already harmed the Duke once, there couldn’t be a second time .


    She was only a chess piece to be used if she stayed behind, to be manipted at will . There was no happiness to speak of . Maybe if she left, there would be peace for her .


    Ning Yun-er looked at the Duke with reluctance, then left with determination . She packed her stuff and left the manor, disappearing amidst the night sky . A woman who had her heart broken and body ravaged, yet who couldn’t forget about love .


    Ning Yun-er disappeared in one night . Liu Zhongtian ordered people to look for her but to no avail . He sighed in the empty room . He thought about the young Ning Yun-er who stayed in the manor . Now that she had left, it really was saddening . Liu Zhongtian felt remorseful towards her father, however Yun-er had intentions to leave, so it was hard to find her . He hoped that she would find a good ce of refuge and no longer be alone .


    Without Ning Yun-er, the Emperor seemed to have lost a chess piece . He would be unable to bring up the matter of forcing a marriage on the Duke . However the matter of Wei Qiqi going on an expedition was at his doorsteps . The Emperor was waiting for Wei Qiqi to submit, it would be fine even if it was just a hint . He got Xiaoyuzi to find out Wei Qiqi’s movements . However Xiaoyuzi’s words caused the Emperor to be extremely furious . Wei Qiqi was just as lively in the General’s Mansion, as if she was not bothered about the matter of expediting in Gaojuli . Much less needed to be said about submitting .
