Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 57 The most depressing episode

"coming."

Qiao Fei, who was still eating a midnight barbecue snack, immediately sat up straight.

After waiting for a week, I finally waited for this moment.

Works like Ancient Love Song that are related to time, time travel, and world lines are the kind of works that people who like them will fall in love with at first sight.

People who don’t like the show may not find anything interesting to watch after watching several episodes, or even give up on the show because the plot is too convoluted.

Obviously, Qiao Fei is the former.

In Xia Country where there are no time-travel dramas, Qiao Fei has ranked Ancient Lovesickness Song as the number one drama of this season since the first episode aired in October.

Even she, who never stayed up late, has now slowly gotten used to staying up late on Sunday midnight.

"I hope tonight's episode is sweeter! Otherwise I won't be able to sleep again."

Qiao Fei had a conflicted expression.

For some things, it’s better not to fall into the trap. Once you fall into the trap, you can’t get out of it before seeing the result.

She doesn't like tragedies, but in order to see the ending of Shen Buyan and Lu Yuan's love story, she still sits in front of the TV every week, even though she has been depressed to the point of doubting her life several times during the process of following the drama.

The theme song of the tenth episode of So Longing Song ends.
The plot continues from the previous episode. Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan discovered that something was wrong with Prime Minister Li Yong.
It was finally discovered that Li Yong, with the help of Beilie spies, had added some banned drugs to the sandalwood in Emperor Yuanqi's bedroom.

Ordinary people would be fine if they smelled the burning of these medicines, but Emperor Yuanqi, who had a headache, was directly triggered by the smell of the medicine.
In the end, the new emperor, who was diligent and ambitious, turned into an idiot.

Qiao Fei took a deep breath
"Sure enough, this is where Emperor Yuanqi got stupid. Nothing has changed in this drama so far. What about Lu Yuan? Will she enter the palace?"

This is Qiao Fei’s biggest wish for Shen Buyan’s third time traveling through time.

As long as Lu Yuan doesn't enter the palace, no matter what these trivial matters are, it will be completely fine for her to be an ordinary citizen with Shen Buyan.

The emperor became stupid and Li Yong was still the prime minister. From the court to the local areas, everyone in Sheng State was Li Yong's students and former officials. If the two of them tried to expose Li Yong at this time, they would be courting death.

And in this episode, an important clue is revealed.
After Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan left the palace, Lu Yuan was so worried that a jade pendant even fell off her body accidentally.

And that jade pendant was the ancient broken jade that Shen Buyan used to travel through time in the modern era.

But now, the jade pendant is complete.

"?" Qiao Fei looked puzzled.

So the broken jade will be used to fill the hole in this episode?
[Where did you get this jade pendant? ] Shen Buyan asked in surprise when he saw the jade pendant.

[What did you say?] Hearing this, Lu Yuan looked at Shen Buyan with a look that suddenly became very strange and unfamiliar.

[This jade pendant, you really don't remember it? ]

[Does it have any special meaning to you?] Shen Buyan asked doubtfully.

Lu Yuan just looked at him in disbelief.

Various memories from the TV series flashed through her mind, and Lu Yuan finally figured everything out.

Finally someone had answers to the many strange things she had seen on Shen Buyan during this period.

Shen Buyan's understanding of the future situation.

Even before Li Yong colluded with the Beilie people, he knew that Li Yong would commit treason.

Just because she didn't ask about these doubts doesn't mean she pretends they don't exist.

But now, how could Shen Buyan forget this jade pendant?
If Shen Buyan couldn't remember the jade pendant, how could he know Lu Yuan?

unless
Qiao Fei finally understood.

The 21-year-old Lu Yuan finally understood the fact that Shen Buyan didn't even recognize the jade pendant, as well as Shen Buyan's talking in his sleep and his accurate predictions about the future.

Speculated that he was a time traveler from the future
"No way, Lu Yuan knew that Shen Buyan was a time traveler, and she actually deduced it herself?" Qiao Fei looked confused.

But when you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it.

Shen Buyan's talking in his sleep revealed too much information.

What's more, he didn't even recognize the jade pendant that served as a token of their love.

Eliminate all impossible options and the only option left is the correct answer.

On the other side, Li Yong came to find Lu Yuan late at night and asked her to come to the palace to help him.

The emperor has become an idiot. This matter must be kept secret for the time being, otherwise there will be chaos in the world.

And Li Yong believes most in Lu Yuan's character and her abilities.

Naturally, he wanted her to enter the palace as the head of the palace, take care of the foolish emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and help him conceal everything.
In this way, Li Yong could sit in the position of prime minister and manage all matters of Sheng State, becoming the uncrowned emperor of Sheng State.

The same goes for Lu Yuan.

The emperor had no descendants, and the Huofeng Fort where his only younger brother, Prince Bei'an, lived fell.

If Lu Yuan doesn't agree, Sheng State will be in imminent disaster.

Moreover, Lu Yuan also saw Li Yong's true face, and made up her mind to pretend to submit to Li Yong, accumulate strength, and wait until the future to compete with Li Yong and save Shengguo.
Connected.

It’s all connected.

Qiao Fei's expression was extremely interesting at this moment, she understood.

"Damn the screenwriter, is it true that the male protagonist Shen Buyan is the source of all evil?"

In order to prevent Lu Yuan from entering the palace, Shen Buyan offered state governance strategies to Emperor Yuanqi, hoping that he would not launch a northern expedition.

Emperor Yuanqi's appreciation for Shen Buyan was known by Li Yong, so Li Yong colluded with the Beilie people to murder the emperor in a desperate situation.
The emperor became stupid.

The 21-year-old Lu Yuan entered the palace to save the country.

In order to save the country, 26-year-old Lu Yuan became the queen with a token.

In order to save the country, 36-year-old Lu Yuan surrounded Prime Minister Li Yong in the imperial capital who was trying to escape with state secrets, and died to save Shen Buyan.

The fish swims in the water, it has both the tail and the head!
Shen Buyan is the fish!
It was Shen Buyan's three time travels that led to Lu Yuan's death at the age of 36.
He is saving Lu Yuan!
Also killing Lu Yuan!

Unbearable
Qiao Fei already felt a stomachache.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

What the hell is this plot?
Knowing that Lu Yuan had decided to enter the palace, Shen Buyan found her in the middle of the night with a sad look in his eyes, wanting to persuade her to escape her fate.

[I know that you want to save His Majesty's life and want to check Li Yong, but you know that you will die if you do this.]

[I died a long time ago, didn't I? Master Shen] Lu Yuan raised her head and looked at Shen Buyan calmly.

[To you, I am just a stranger with a few words in the history books.]

Lu Yuan spoke unfamiliar words to Shen Buyan in a calm tone.

The moment she knew Shen Buyan's identity as a time traveler, she understood how much of a luxury it was for her to live with Shen Buyan in Nanmeng Lake.

Shen Buyan will leave.

Not even a strand of hair or a single corpse will be left in this era.

[You fall in love with someone but cannot stay with her forever. It is not because of external constraints or because she does not love you. It is just because her past is your future. I should go.]

The words that came out of Lu Yuan's smiling lips made Qiao Fei's heart tremble.

Lu Yuan has already understood that it is impossible for her and Shen Buyan to be together for the rest of their lives.

Whether she is willing or not, Shen Buyan and she can only look back and gaze at each other a few times in the long river of history.

[Listen to me first as I explain to you everything that will happen in the future.] Shen Buyan still wanted to make a final struggle.

[No need for that. If my fate is already determined, not telling me would be a kindness. At least, I still have hope.] Lu Yuan turned her back to Shen Buyan, with tears in the corners of her eyes and a smile on her face.

Qiao Fei looked at Lu Yuan's face on TV and suddenly understood something.

"What can she expect? She can expect only one thing. To meet you in the future!"

Knowing everything about the future means that all the days in the future when Shen Buyan is not in this time and space, life will be bleak.

But not knowing everything about the future means that maybe in the next second, the next hour, or tomorrow, Shen Buyan will appear in front of her again.

We can greet and face every day with hope.

Lu Yuan left, walked out of the house, got on the carriage, and waited in the carriage for a long time before "Yihua" drove the carriage away from the mansion. She wanted to enter the palace, serve as the head of the palace, save the emperor's life, and accumulate strength under the traitor Li Yong to save Shengguo.

A sad BGM tune sounded.

As the carriage moved forward, Lu Yuan covered her face and couldn't help crying out loud.

It took a lot of determination for her to decide to say goodbye to Shen Buyan.

She entered her palace to save Shengguo.

Shen Buyan wanted to be with him, but it was no longer possible.

"Writer, thank you!"

Qiao Fei couldn't help it and quickly wiped her eyes with a tissue, but there were chili peppers on her fingers from the barbecue supper she had just had, which made it even harder for her to stop crying.

The bgm in the TV series is too sensational
So destiny cannot be changed.

Seeing this, Qiao Fei confirmed this.

Everything Shen Buyan did in this drama was in vain.

But in the play, Lu Yuan sat in the carriage and cried for most of the day, but found that the carriage still did not enter the palace. She opened the curtain of the carriage with suspicion.
The seat that was supposed to drive the carriage for Yihua into the palace was now occupied by Shen Buyan.

He had already driven the carriage out of the city.

The screen flickered, and memories flashed through her mind. It was Yihua who handed the reins of the carriage to Shen Buyan before getting in the carriage, asking him to take Lu Yuan away and not enter the palace to spend a life destined to be filled with regret.

At this moment, Qiao Fei was revived with full health.

"I knew the screenwriter was a good person, Shen Buyan is so handsome, and there is such a choice" Qiao Fei screamed in the middle of the night.

Since we knew that Lu Yuan would die fifteen years after entering the palace, why should we watch her die?
Even if this goes against Lu Yuan's wishes, Shen Buyan will take her away from the imperial capital.

Little angel Yihua, you are so beautiful.

[Why do you accept your fate? Can't you have your own wishes? I really don't know what you ancients were thinking? Why do you have to shoulder the fate of a country? Wouldn't it be good to stay away from the court and spend your life in a paradise?] Shen Buyan drove the carriage and said loudly to Lu Yuan in the carriage behind him in the howling wind.

【What does this world have to do with you? 】

Shen Buyan's words touched Qiao Fei's heart.

Shen Buyan has already told you that if you fail in the future, you will die after entering the palace, so why do you still want to go?

[Mr. Shen, you asked me before if I was willing to marry you in Nanmeng Lake.] Lu Yuan in the play cried like a pear blossom in the rain, but still spoke in a gentle voice.

My answer is, I think so.

[I want to do it very, very, very much.]

[But now, I am the only one who can contain Li Yong and save the fate of Sheng State. ]

[I don’t know what people of your era would do, but this is the answer of an ordinary woman from Sheng State living at this time. Maybe we will meet again in the future, but please, Mr. Shen, don’t stop me.]

Qiao Fei was shocked and speechless.

Suddenly I felt that my idea of ​​expecting Shen Buyan to take Lu Yuan away by force was so low-level and ridiculous.

Lu Yuan chose this inevitable future of death not because he was unaware of his fate.

Did she know her fate, and did she choose this inevitable future for the sake of Shengguo?

There is always something that surpasses everything.

She valued Shen Buyan more than her own life, and even cried so sadly in the carriage because of the quarrel with Shen Buyan and entering the palace.

But even so, she must save Shengguo.

A heroine with such awareness makes this drama transcend the pattern of trivial love.

Is it foolish to fly into a flame even though you know you will die?

Perhaps that is another kind of great courage.

Qiao Fei blew his nose.

"Writer, I thank your entire family for eighteen generations!"

When the plot developed to this point, all the audience had the answer in their hearts.

Forcing Shen Buyan to take Lu Yuan away again would be an insult to her.

Shen Buyan stopped the carriage, looking helpless.

Qiao Fei, a group of audiences in front of the TV and Shen Buyan in the play were all convinced by Lu Yuan.

[I’m sorry] Shen Buyan said.

[It's just entering the palace, I'll accompany you.]

Shen Buyan pulled the reins and the carriage turned around and headed towards the palace.

Qiao Fei's eyes widened.

At this moment, Shen Buyan's image in Qiao Fei and Lu Yuan's eyes became so tall.

He wanted to accompany Lu Yuan to the palace, even if it was just to be a guard or a royal chef.
If we can't live together in Nanmeng Lake, then we can live together in the deep palace.

This is another choice made by Shen Buyan.

He once again decided to stay in this era with Lu Yuan!

"I knew that the screenwriter is a good person." Qiao Fei began to praise the screenwriter Su Yan in his heart again.

That night, in her mind, the screenwriter Su Yan alternately switched between being a human and not being a human.

It doesn’t matter if the plot has twists and turns, as long as the ending is good.

If Lu Yuan really chose the future that would lead to certain death in fifteen years.

Wouldn’t it be nice for Shen Buyan to accompany her through the last moments of her life in this era?
This way Lu Yuan doesn't have to wait.
From 21 to 26 years old.

26 years old, wait until 36 years old.

Then she died in Shen Buyan's arms after only meeting him once.

This ending is so sad.

But the hope that had just ignited in Qiao Fei's heart was soon ruthlessly shattered by the plot.

Shen Buyan, who was driving the carriage and preparing to take Lu Yuan to the palace, smiled after making his choice, but suddenly his heart tightened.
This feeling occurs every time Shen Buyan is killed and returns to the modern era, or every time he is recalled to the modern era because he has stayed in ancient times for too long.

In the carriage, Lu Yuan smiled and cried as she told Shen Buyan what kind of position she would let Shen Buyan hold if she entered the palace.

[Wait until the end, overthrow Li Yong, and clarify the truth. Then we will return to Nanmeng Lake together and live the life we ​​want.]

Lu Yuan was still talking to Shen Buyan about the future with hope in her eyes, but she found that Shen Buyan had not responded to her for a long time.

She noticed that the carriage was gradually stopping.

I found that it was raining heavily outside the carriage.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the moonlight poured into the carriage. Shen Buyan, who was supposed to be driving the carriage, disappeared without a trace.

Shen Buyan, who had promised her that he would go to the palace with her and stay with her in the palace just a minute ago, was nowhere to be found.
It was raining heavily, late at night outside the imperial capital, and the shot of a man, a horse, and a car seemed so lonely and sad.

The hope in Lu Yuan's eyes was instantly shattered, and tears welled up in her eyes.

This was not the first time she had experienced this. It was also the same when she and Shen Buyan first met and parted.
She knew nothing at that time and thought Shen Buyan left without saying goodbye.

Now she understands.

Shen Buyan is gone, leaving this era.

See you next time.

I don't know when
What month
What year
Qiao Fei opened his mouth wide.

In the living room, the ending theme of the ancient lovesickness song sounded.

After a long time, Qiao Fei couldn't help but take a breath, his shoulders were shaking, he was both abused and angry.

There is only one thought in my mind.

You old thief Su Yan, you are destined to be lonely all your life!
