Chapter 310 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 94

In this way, in Chuhua's vivid narration, Yinzhen seemed to return to his childhood, immersed in this bizarre world of stories. He looked at this eccentric woman in front of him, and a warmth and tenderness that he had never felt before surged in his heart.

Chu Huan was so thirsty from her talk that Yinzhen considerately handed her a cup of warm tea. She took a few sips to moisten her throat and continued her talk.

"Later, the knight cut open the white tiger's stomach and rescued Little Green Coat and her grandmother..."

"Wait," Yinzhen suddenly interrupted her.

"Why do you want to cut open the stomach? Can't you just kill the white tiger and save the people?"

Chu Hua was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, as clear and sweet as a silver bell. "Your Majesty, I was just talking nonsense, why did you take it seriously?"

Yinzhen was a little embarrassed by her laughter, and coughed lightly to cover up, "I just think that this story... is quite interesting."

Chu Huan saw that his ears were slightly red and laughed in her heart. This emperor was usually very serious, but she didn't expect that he would be shy after listening to a story.

"Then I will also tell you a story I heard in my childhood?"

Yinzhen held Chuhua's slender ankle and kneaded it gently. Her calf muscles were a little tense, probably because she walked too long in the Imperial Garden today.

"When I was a child, I also heard a lot of stories." Yinzhen's voice was low and magnetic, like a piece of warm jade, slowly rubbing Chuhuan's eardrum.

"But they are all about emperors, generals, and historical allusions. They are nothing like your wild and imaginative ideas."

Chu Huan squinted her eyes comfortably, enjoying the emperor's exclusive massage service.

"Then Your Majesty, can you please tell me the stories of those emperors and generals?"

Yinzhen's fingers gently slid across her fair skin, bringing up a tingling electric current.

"Okay, then I will tell you about Emperor Wu of Han. He was a man of great talent and strategy, and he expanded the territory, but unfortunately in his later years..."

Chu Hua was originally drowsy, but when she heard this, she suddenly became interested and opened her eyes abruptly: "What happened to old age?"

Yinzhen looked at her with a hint of smile in his eyes, but he deliberately kept her in suspense and said, "In my later years, I trusted treacherous people, which led to a big mistake. In the end, I ended up being alone."

"Ah? So miserable?" Chu Huan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"What about his favorite concubine? Wasn't she able to stay with him till the end?"

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "His favorite concubine, named Madam Li, died many years ago."

"Ah..." Chu Hua's heart seemed to be hit gently by something, and an inexplicable sadness surged in her heart.

"But..." Yinzhen suddenly changed the subject.

"Although Lady Li was a beautiful woman with a tragic fate, she left behind a son for Emperor Wu of Han, who later became Emperor Zhao of Han."

"That's good, there's someone to take over." Chu Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and the inexplicable sadness in her heart dissipated a lot.

“But…” Yinzhen made another turn of phrase. Chu Huan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Why was the emperor so slow in telling a story?

"It is said that Emperor Wu of Han had a deep affection for Lady Li. After her death, he still missed her and even asked a Taoist priest to perform a ritual in order to see her again."

"Really? What happened next?" Chu Hua's curiosity was completely aroused. She propped herself up and wanted to hear more clearly.

Yinzhen gently pushed her back onto the bed and continued, "The altar was set up and the incense and candles were lit. After a long time, he told Emperor Wu that Madam Li had arrived and was behind the curtain."

"Emperor Wu of Han was overjoyed and immediately stood up and wanted to lift the curtain, but was stopped by the Taoist priest, who said that Madam Li was weak and he could only look at her from afar and could not get close." Yinzhen's voice was low and slow, as if he was telling an ancient and mysterious legend.

"Emperor Wu of Han could only look at the curtain from afar, and saw a faint figure of a woman appearing inside. It was none other than Madam Li, whom he had been thinking about day and night. Emperor Wu of Han was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to touch her, but the figure gradually blurred and finally disappeared."

"The Taoist priest told Emperor Wu that Lady Li had passed away and asked him to mourn her. Emperor Wu was heartbroken but could do nothing about it. He could only order a grand funeral for Lady Li and build a palace for her to express his grief."

Chu Huan was fascinated by the story, as if she had witnessed the tragic love story between Emperor Wu of Han and Lady Li with her own eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you think there is really magic in this world that can bring the dead back to life?" She raised her head and looked at Yinzhen. She knew that Yinzhen would not live for many years, and the biggest culprit was his obsession with the art of immortality.

Yinzhen looked at her, his deep eyes seemed to contain the sea of ​​stars, making people unable to help but sink into them.

"Huan'er, do you believe it?" He did not answer her question directly, but asked a question in return.

Chu Hua was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly: "I don't believe it! If there really is such magic in this world, then wouldn't the palace be a den of gods?"

Yinzhen was amused by her and scratched her nose: "What are you thinking about in your little head?"

"I am telling the truth! Your Majesty, think about it, if there really is a secret to immortality, then all those emperors and generals would try their best to find it. But you see, in the history books, pages are turned over one by one, and those once powerful figures have all turned into dust in the end, right?"

As Chu Hua spoke, she sighed deliberately and shook her head in a pretentious manner, like an old pedant.

Yinzhen looked at her quirky appearance and liked her more and more. He hugged her in his arms and said softly, "You are full of crooked ideas."

"What I said is reasonable!" Chu Huan retorted unconvinced, staring at Yinzhen with her big watery eyes.

"Your Majesty, please do not be fooled by those quacks. They only know some tricks to deceive a ruler like you!"

Yinzhen was not angry when he heard her treasonous words, but found them interesting. All the women in the harem were respectful and submissive when they saw him, but only she dared to make up stories about him so unscrupulously.

She sighed softly and said quietly, "I just feel that everything in this world has its own laws, and reincarnation is the law of nature. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you rule the world. Aren't you satisfied? Why do you have to cling to that illusory art of longevity?"

Yinzhen was silent, his deep eyes fell on Chuhua's fair face, as if he wanted to see through her heart. In this world, she was the only one who dared to advise him so bluntly.

"Huan'er, you don't understand." After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice low and hoarse, "I am not greedy for power, it's just..."
