Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 485 The Death of Emperor Xian of Han, Empress Fu: You will be alone all your life!

The last three words Liu Xie uttered carried an inexplicable power, weighing heavily on the heart of Emperor Xian of Han.

The people are healthy, the country is prosperous, and there is peace forever!
Emperor Xian of Han never expected that this mere fake emperor would have such lofty ideals, and his purpose of stealing the country was to bring peace to the world?

He really wanted to speak up and refute this false emperor, accusing him of using high-sounding words to cover up the fact that he was a thief who stole the country.

But he had an intuition in his heart.

That is, this fake emperor did not lie.

But... why?
This fake emperor is obviously just an imposter. His Liu family is the orthodox family of destiny. These are the missions and responsibilities that should be accomplished by his descendants. Why can he be replaced by a fake emperor?
Could it be that destiny has really changed and the artifact has become easier to obtain?

Is Liu's empire destined to be stolen by thieves?

Emperor Xian of Han was pale and knelt on the ground dejectedly. He seemed to collapse in an instant and lost the confidence he had when he questioned Liu Xie just now.

After a long silence, he looked up at Liu Xie again and asked carefully: "Then... can you let me go?"

"You have already seized the throne and the country, and the world has been stabilized. You have obtained what you wanted. Can you spare my life?"

Since it is God's will, he is destined to be replaced by this false emperor, and he cannot go against God's will.

At least this fake emperor looked like him and used his name. In the future, he would be known as the leader of the revival of the country in history books, and the country would still nominally belong to the Liu family.

Besides, what can we do even if he doesn't want to?

He is now a prisoner, and no one believes that he is the real emperor. It is even easier for the fake emperor in front of him to kill him. He no longer has any chance of turning the situation around.

Even if he had it, he didn't have the ability, let alone the ambition. He knew exactly what he was worth.

Even though he just kept talking tough, he knew in his heart that unifying the world was not something that could be achieved with just the title of emperor and a group of wise ministers to assist him.

This fake emperor's ability is indeed far beyond his.

Apart from looking the same as the fake emperor, the difference between him and the fake emperor in other aspects was like a chasm. The fake emperor had talents that he did not have and was more like an emperor than he was.

So instead of continuing to argue, it is better to give up and negotiate terms with the other party.

Seeing the expectant look in Emperor Xian of Han's eyes, Liu Xie did not answer directly, but asked: "Which do you think is more important to me, the throne or you?"

This question made Emperor Xian of Han stunned for a moment.

Which is more important, him or the throne?

After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Xian of Han replied: "For you, the throne is definitely more important. I am not a threat to you, so why bother about me?"

Liu Xie shook his head.

"Then... is it that I am more important?"

Emperor Xian of Han panicked and said quickly, "Don't worry, I just want to live well and I have absolutely no intention of rebelling."

"If you don't believe me, you can put me under house arrest, just like Cao Cao did to me."

"From now on, you will be the real emperor. I can be your substitute, I can be the fake one, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"No, that's not right. I will do whatever your majesty tells me to do."

Having repeatedly hovered on the brink of life and death, Emperor Xian of Han was extremely afraid of death. Even if he lived as a prisoner, he did not want to die.

Because when you die, you lose everything.

So even if I give up the throne, even if I endure humiliation, even if I surrender, it is worth it as long as I can stay alive.

"you are wrong."

Liu Xie shook his head again, staring straight at Emperor Xian of Han, and said word by word: "You and the throne are not important to me."

"Without you, it is very important to me."

As soon as Liu Xie said this, Emperor Xian of Han turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

Then he couldn't stop his tears from flowing out, and he broke down and cried, "Why, why won't you let me go?"

"Each of you is either trying to hold me hostage or kill me. What did I do wrong?"

"Isn't it enough that I gave you the throne and the country?"

"I, I just want to live!"

He wandered around all his life, either on the run or in prison, and never had a single day of independence.

Not only was his throne taken away from him, but he couldn't even save his life. What evil things did he do to deserve such punishment from God?

"You did nothing wrong."

Liu Xie walked to the railing, turned his back to Emperor Xian of Han and said, turning his head slightly to look at him, "If you are wrong, it is that you should not be born into an imperial family, let alone become the Son of Heaven."

"The throne of the emperor is inherently cold. If the person sitting on it is not colder than it, how can he sit there peacefully?"

"Your survival is a hidden danger to me and the Han Dynasty. I will not tolerate such a hidden danger."

Emperor Xian of Han became more and more desperate and cried even harder. He asked with tears in his eyes, "Why did you want to see me today? Is it just to humiliate me in person? So that I can die knowingly?"

Liu Xie was silent after hearing this, and then he sighed: "I just want to talk, and these words can only be spoken to you."

"I am sorry for taking your throne, but I have no regrets. Even if I could turn back time and start over again, I would make the same choice."

"Also, there's someone else who wants to meet with you."

Emperor Xian of Han sobbed and asked, "Who... is it?"

Liu Xie turned and walked towards a side room not far away.

Then turn it on.

Emperor Xian of Han looked up, and when he saw the person in the side room, his pupils suddenly shrank and he even forgot to cry.

"Empress?!"

The person in the side room was Empress Fu.

Empress Fu's pretty face was covered with traces of tears, and her eyes were filled with sadness.

Liu Xie said to her calmly: "You only have one stick of incense time."

Just three days ago, Empress Fu came to him, knelt down and begged him, hoping to meet Emperor Xian of Han.

So he fulfilled her wish.

Empress Fu glanced at Liu Xie with a complicated expression, then looked at Emperor Xian of Han and said softly, "Your Majesty."

She heard clearly the conversation between Liu Xie and Emperor Xian of Han just now. It was also the first time she heard Liu Xie frankly admit his identity as a fake emperor.

"Queen!"

Seeing the long-lost face of Empress Fu, Emperor Xian of Han could not help but burst into tears.

Empress Fu never left him in times of danger and never doubted his status as emperor. She was the person who trusted him the most in the world.

He originally thought that Empress Fu had already been murdered by this fake emperor, but he did not expect that she was still alive.

Liu Xie ignored Emperor Xian of Han, but just walked to the fence beside and looked at the moon in the sky.

Empress Fu stood up and walked to the side of Emperor Xian of Han, reached out and gently stroked his face, and said, "Your Majesty, you have suffered."

Emperor Xian of Han cried, "Queen, why did you come? Why did you come?"

He was not stupid. The identity of the false emperor was Liu Xie's biggest secret, and anyone who knew it must die.

Empress Fu came to see him and heard what he had just said. How could Liu Xie let her go so easily?
"Because I have always missed Your Majesty."

Empress Fu also shed tears, but she still smiled, and her eyes were extremely gentle when she looked at Emperor Xian of Han.

Emperor Xian of Han wept and said, "But you will die. This fake emperor will not let you go. He will kill you!"

"I am useless and incompetent. I can't even protect you. I am the most useless emperor in the world." "I, I..."

Emperor Xian of Han could no longer speak. He was overwhelmed by huge guilt and tears flowed down his face.

Empress Fu took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and then comforted him: "Your Majesty has tried his best. The current situation is not your Majesty's fault."

“Everything is God’s will.”

Emperor Xian of Han suppressed his sorrow and nodded, at the same time he burst into tears and said with a smile: "Being able to see the Empress before I die, I can say that I have no regrets in my death."

"Queen...can you give me a ride?"

There is a table in this water pavilion, and on it are a wine jug and two wine jars.

Emperor Xian of Han knew that this was prepared for him.

Empress Fu looked up at Liu Xie, and seeing that Liu Xie still had his back to her and did not speak, she stood up and walked towards the desk.

She poured a bottle of wine, then came to the side of Emperor Xian of Han, knelt down, and held the wine bottle in both hands and presented it to Emperor Xian of Han.

"Your Majesty, please."

Emperor Xian of Han went to the wine jar, drank the wine in it, and then let out a long breath.

Although he knew that his death was approaching, for some reason he no longer felt fear in his heart.

Perhaps, there is a loved one accompanying you?
He turned his gaze towards Liu Xie and suddenly asked, "False Emperor, will you really make the people live in peace, the country prosperous, and the world peaceful forever?"

Liu Xie turned around, his eyes calm and deep, and said, "Yes."

"That's good."

Emperor Xian of Han smiled with relief, but at this moment he suddenly felt a cramp in his abdomen, which made him break out in a cold sweat and fall to the ground.

"His Majesty!"

Empress Fu was heartbroken and took Emperor Xian of Han into her arms.

Emperor Xian of Han endured the pain and said with a wry smile: "If there is an afterlife, I will never be an emperor again. I would rather practice medicine in the countryside."

"I have always wanted to be a doctor and save lives."

As he spoke, he raised his head again, stared at Empress Fu's face infatuatedly, and said, "Empress, I, I will marry you again in my next life... Are you willing, are you willing to marry... me?"

The poison took effect, causing black poisonous blood to flow out of the corners of his mouth, and his speech became unclear.

"I am willing, Your Majesty, I am willing."

Empress Fu was already in tears, and she cried as she wiped the blood that could never be wiped away from Emperor Xian of Han.

Emperor Xian of Han grinned, but then spat out a mouthful of blood, making the red-black dragon robe on his body even darker red.

His consciousness was becoming blurred and everything around him began to become hazy.

Emperor Xian of Han suddenly remembered that afternoon many years ago when he was lying on his grandmother's lap and his grandmother was singing a ballad to lull him to sleep.

We were really carefree back then.

Emperor Xian of Han's eyes dimmed, his head tilted weakly to the side, and his breath completely disappeared.

"His Majesty!"

Empress Fu was extremely grief-stricken. She hugged Liu Xie's body and cried bitterly, her voice as sobbing as that of a cuckoo.

Liu Xie stood aside and watched this scene.

His expression was calm from beginning to end.

He walked to the table, filled another bottle of wine, then came to Empress Fu and handed the wine to her.

Empress Fu raised her head and looked at the emperor in front of her with tearful eyes. This was the man who had stolen the Han Dynasty, forced the legitimate emperor to death, and now brought death to him personally, yet he was still able to remain calm.

So cold-blooded.

Empress Fu took the wine from the jar, smiled sadly at Liu Xie, and said, "You will live your whole life for another person."

"You will be alone all your life. No one can truly enter your heart. You will sit alone on the throne of the emperor and decay and grow old until you die."

"This is the greatest punishment for you."

After saying that, she took the wine bottle without hesitation and drank the wine in it.

Then she threw the wine jar aside, held the body of Emperor Xian of Han in her arms, and hummed softly: "Swallow tail drools, Master Zhang, we meet from time to time..."

"The wooden door clanged, a swallow flew in and pecked at the emperor's grandson... The emperor's grandson died, and the swallow pecked at the arrows..."

The sound was intermittent until it disappeared.

Empress Fu died in the arms of Emperor Xian of Han.

The entire water pavilion fell completely silent. Liu Xie stood beside the bodies of the two men for a long time.

"I am alone...I am alone?"

Liu Xie repeated these four words, then raised his head, with only indifference and determination on his face.

"so what?"

He walked past the bodies of Emperor Xian of Han and Empress Fu, picked up the candlestick on the table and threw it next to the curtain.

The candlelight ignited the silk curtains, and the flames quickly climbed up and spread.

Liu Xie walked out of the water pavilion without even looking behind him. His steps became lighter, no longer as heavy as before.

It's like a huge burden has been lifted.

At this point, the last person in the world who knew his identity had died. From now on, he was the one and only Emperor Liu Xie!
The flames reflected Liu Xie's figure, who looked like a giant standing tall, as if the entire empire was on his shoulders.

A huge fire spread in the water pavilion, gradually engulfing the embracing figures of Emperor Xian of Han and Empress Fu, making them indistinguishable from each other.

……

Outside the Imperial Garden.

Gao Lan had been guarding here the whole time. When he saw the water pavilion in the imperial garden suddenly catch fire, he was immediately shocked.

"How could the water leak?!"

"No! His Majesty is still inside!"

"Someone come quickly!"

Gao Lan shouted loudly. At this moment, he no longer cared about the emperor's order not to allow anyone to enter the imperial garden.

Even if he would be beheaded by the emperor afterwards, he would not allow the emperor's safety to be in any way affected!

Just as Gao Lan was about to lead people into the Imperial Garden to put out the fire, Liu Xie walked out slowly.

See Gao Lan preparing to break into the Imperial Garden.

Liu Xie glanced at him.

A glance from him made Gao Lan tremble all over, his scalp tingling instantly. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!"

He secretly groaned in his heart, thinking that he would be punished by His Majesty and might even be thrown into jail.

But fortunately, Liu Xie knew that Gao Lan had no other thoughts, so he did not bother with him, but just said lightly: "I accidentally knocked over the candlestick and set the water pavilion on fire."

"The fire is too big right now. We'll send people to put it out later. You lead the others to watch over it and make sure it doesn't spread."

Gao Lan breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists, saying, “Yes!”

Only then did Liu Xie turn and leave.
