After a while, Tang Shishi asked in a low voice: "Are you mad that i hid it from you?"

"No." Zhao Chengjun sighed slightly, "What you did is right as people's hearts are unpredictable. You shouldn't tell anyone about this kind of weird power."

"but..."

"No but." Zhao Chengjun let go of Tang Shishi, fixed her hair around her temples, and said, "I hope you can trust me, but I wish you will protect yourself more."

Tang Shishi looked up at Zhao Chengjun, her eyelashes moved, and tears suddenly fell from her eyes. Zhao Chengjun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Why are you crying? This book was written by a pen, but life is your own. Our next path should not be determined by a book. You should burn that book."

Tang Shishi was shocked, and instinctively said: "But the battle is not over yet, so i need to keep it for reference."

"No." Zhao Chengjun said firmly, "There are many factors for success or failure in a war, but in any case, I should not be led by a book. If I rely on the hints of the book to win, then i won't win this battle by my own merits."

Tang Shishi gradually calmed down. Zhao Chengjun is right, both of them are people in this world. If they dare not cry or laugh, hate or love, and dare not make any choice because of a book, are they alive or dead?

No matter, she doesn't need the book now. Whether she can live a good life, and what risks and crisis she will encounter next, she should face it herself.

Tang Shishi nodded, the tears on her eyelashes were still wet, and she whispered, "Okay."

Zhao Chengjun lit a brazier, and threw the "Shun Hua Biography" into the flame without hesitation. Others may be greedy for predictions about their futures, but Zhao Chengjun doesn't need them. Prophecy is to make life easier, but if everything is determined by prophecy, it will only be the beginning of a greater tragedy.

Life is one's own, and choice is also one's own.

The flames were blazing, and the fire immediately consumed it's pages. Liu Ji was startled when he smelled the smoke outside, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, why is there a smell of smoke?"

"It's okay." Zhao Chengjun said calmly, "The empress is in a bad mood, she is just burning paper to play."

Tang Shishi was angry and laughed, and she slapped Zhao Chengjun's arm angrily: "Liar."

Zhao Chengjun held Tang Shishi's hand and held it firmly. The two were quiet, as they quietly watched the book turn into ashes in the brazier, and in the end, even the three characters  "Shun Hua Biography" were reduced to ash.

Zhao Chengjun looked down at Tang Shishi, and at this moment, Tang Shishi also raised her head. Zhao Chengjun looked into her eyes deeply and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Tang Shishi moved her eyes and nodded vigorously: "Okay."

In the beginning of July, Prince Zhou and Prince Qi used the reason of investigating the true cause of Emperor Wuzong's death to set up troops in Kaifeng and Qingzhou. The emergency report was passed back to Jinling, and Zhao Chengjun immediately enlisted himself.

The ministers refused, but Zhao Chengjun insisted. Within a few days, Zhao Chengjun rounded his army and left Jinling with an army of 100,000. When he left, he asked his adopted son Zhao Zixun to take care of matters.

On July 12th, Zhao Chengjun left Jinling. After Zhao Chengjun left, the Forbidden City seemed to have no sound. Tang Shishi stayed in Kunning Palace for several days in a daze.
