“What do you mean?” Qi Yu Yuan turned around, looking sharply at the person behind him.
“Doesn’t Your Highness already have a feeling?”
Qi Yu Yuan trembled all over. He said word by word, “You mean she…”
“Your Highness, what do you think?”
“This king does not believe it. She is already dead. How can the dead be resurrected? This king will not believe you.”
“Whether you believe it or not is not important. Your Highness should ask your own heart.”
Qi Yu Yuan trembled all over. He looked up at the person hidden in the shadows, “Why are you telling this king?”
“Isn’t it more interesting when the world is in chaos?”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu Yuan turned and left.
“Master, why did you tell him?” Fan Wan Bai asked, pulling the gag from her mouth.
“What’s wrong? Are you jealous?”
Fan Wan Bai shook her head. “No, it’s just that doesn’t this mean she will have enough help?”
“Haven’t you heard of overdoing it?”
Fan Wan Bai was stunned. “Master is indeed wise.”
“We’ll just wait and watch the show!”
“Yes, Master.”
“Wu Hen, do you think something is wrong?” Xue Xing Yue said softly to Wu Hen beside her.
Wu Hen shook his head. “This subordinate doesn’t feel anything is wrong. Does Your Highness suspect something?”
She shook her head. It was precisely because she hadn’t found anything that she felt something was wrong, yet she couldn’t quite articulate it.
She thought Lin Zi Feng would cause trouble, but how exactly would he do it?
“Your Majesty, there are more people ahead,” Wu Hen said.
She nodded. She had also noticed that the number of patrolling guards was several times more than usual.
“Let’s take a detour,” she said, her sense of unease intensifying.
“Sister, where are you going?” a voice called out.
Xue Xing Yue’s heart leaped. She knew they had arrived. She turned and saw, illuminated by the bright lights, a person in a bright yellow dragon robe, making the surroundings even more dazzling.
She saw that the once delicate young man now carried a sense of weariness. He was no longer that innocent boy. And how many royals were truly innocent?
“Your Majesty, why are you here?” she stood there, without a trace of nervousness, instead facing him openly.
Qi Yu Yuan looked at the person not far away. Her slender figure stood there. She seemed so fragile, yet he knew she was not weak. Da Feng Novel Network
On the contrary, she was always the wise one, whether she was impersonating Jian Nan Xiao or helping him ascend to his position, she was always intelligent.
Therefore, he became increasingly captivated by her.
He wanted to get close, but she wanted to escape.
His former identity made him hesitant. Now that he possessed the noblest status in the world, why did she still want to escape?
He was very angry, very angry.
“Sister, where are you going?” He walked towards her step by step, the bright yellow dragon robe making her dizzy.
Wu Hen blocked her path and said coldly, “Your Majesty Qi, please stop!”
“What are you?” Qi Yu Yuan said angrily, waving his hand.
From around them, people surrounded them. “Wu Hen, step back!”
Wu Hen looked at her. She nodded, and Wu Hen had no choice but to retreat.
“Sister, wouldn’t it be wonderful if you were always this obedient?” Qi Yu Yuan looked at her approaching face.
She was still as pure and elegant as ever, like a goddess on a pure and noble snow mountain, untouchable. Yet, he wanted to grasp her, to hold her tightly.
“Qi Yu Yuan, I regret it.” She looked up at his eyes, now clouded and filled with desire and greed.
Qi Yu Yuan smiled and spread his arms. “Sister, as long as you come here, I can forgive you.”
“I regret bringing you here, and I regret letting you come into contact with royalty and become a royal. If I could, I would rather you still be that innocent boy. Even if you were poor, your heart would be clear, and your gaze pure, unlike now, filled with so much greed.”
Qi Yu Yuan looked at her, tilting his head. “But Sister, you brought me here, so you should stay and walk with me. How can you leave first?”
“Qi Yu Yuan, everyone has greed and kindness in their hearts. These two are indispensable. Unfortunately, your kindness has been devoured by greed. Do you still remember what you promised me?”
“Sister, of course I promised you. You told me to be a wise ruler. And I have achieved it.”
“No, you haven’t. A wise ruler is lonely, but you want to bring that loneliness to me. Do you think you are worthy?”
“Sister, you are splitting hairs.”
“Yes, I am splitting hairs, just like you, Qi Yu Yuan. You know my thoughts, yet you want me to stay. In that case, what is the difference between us?”
Qi Yu Yuan smiled. “Since that’s the case, Sister, please stay, and we can walk together, alright?”
“No. Qi Yu Yuan, I still have things to accomplish, my hatred has not been resolved, so I cannot stop here.”
“But, Sister, I want you to stay,” Qi Yu Yuan said to her word by word.
“Qi Yu Yuan, you have done very well. Do not let greed devour the remaining kindness. Your life is still long. What you feel for me is merely dependence. One day, you will find your own feelings, and that day will not be far off.”
“Sister, why won’t you stay? Qi Yu Yuan needs you.” Qi Yu Yuan stood there, like an abandoned child.
She knew that at that time, she had been touched by Qi Yu Yuan, but not anymore. She had her own duties, her own path to walk, and she could not stop here.
“Qi Yu Yuan, I told you, there are no everlasting feasts in the world. Even the closest people will part ways.”
“Sister…”
“Qi Yu Yuan, cherish the present and do not have regrets.”
“Sister, don’t leave me, don’t…”
“I’m sorry, but I must leave!” She turned and walked away into the distance.
