Chapter 29: Death

When the cold blade mixed with the faint fragrance of the earthy earth unique to Lishan twilight summer pressed against her neck, it was not only her life that was threatened... All the past was reflected in Huo Ling's mind, she and Yu Jue seemed to be together and there was obviously such a long distance, and those touches that tugged at the heartstrings were so much, if a glance of contact was counted, she knew that it was impossible, but what was she still asking for.

Huo Ling knelt in front of the door of the Xuanshu Hall like this, and there was no one around, only the cold temperature from the cold stone steps, and the autumn wind mixed with the cold drilled into her heart a little bit.

Sunset, the light is getting darker, how long have you been kneeling here?

Do you want to?

Don't want to... Huo Ling asked himself over and over again, your efforts are just in vain, and even for Yu Jue, it's a joke, what is there between you in the end?

…… She clenched her fists, lowered her head, but her waist was straight, and suddenly, a pair of white boots made of silk appeared in front of her eyes, and the dim light source of the setting sun was covered by that figure, Huo Ling slowly looked up, only to see that in the backlit shadow, it was his face, but he couldn't see the light of his eyes.

"Yujue..."

Huo Ling muttered his name... In the shadows, Yu Jue smiled, he knelt lightly in front of Huo Ling, and it wasn't until he was face to face that Huo Ling saw those eyes, but she didn't have the courage to look at them.

Yu Jue gently hugged Huo Ling forward, buried her head between her neck, and took a few deep breaths, which was the fragrance of Huo Ling's body.

Huo Ling was very surprised, but he quickly felt happy, but he was quickly filled with sadness.

It took a long time for her arms to lift up to grab the jade jue that was holding her.

Until the time when she also hugged him, it seemed to be the happiest time in their lives.

"Jade ......"

Huo Ling whispered his name again, and his arms used their strength to hug him and not let go.

"I'm in love with you..."

Yu Jue said in her ear, Huo Ling slowly grinned the corners of his mouth, a brightest smile.

"Yujue, I..."

Huo Ling just wanted to say something, but Yu Jue let go of her at this time, he got up, didn't say a word, retreated into the shadows, turned around, but walked away, until his shadow disappeared in Huo Ling's sight, until this moment, Huo Ling was like an empty shell of his soul, and his straight back bowed at this time, and continued to bow to the ground, Yu Jue, don't you want me?

… But I'm still going to wait, there's no way to let go, is there?

…… There was the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, and it wasn't until close that Huo Ling got up and looked in the direction of the sound, it was Qimeng, she was anxious, panicked, panicked.

"Princess! Princesses – Princesses"

Qimeng almost screamed and knelt in front of Huo Ling, clutching Huo Ling's body tightly.

"Queen, she, it's just a few moments, come with me, princess!"

Qimeng cried and smiled.

Huo Ling's expression froze at this moment, and in the next second, she wanted to get up from the ground, but because she knelt for too long, she stumbled all of a sudden, she bent down slightly, held her knees, and cried beside her to support her.

"Princess, why do you bother? What are you insisting on, and what can you change? ”

"yes......"

Just relieved, Huo Ling broke away from Qimeng, and ran frantically towards the queen's Qingquan Palace, tears could not stop coming out of her eyes, she cried while running, but suppressed her voice, why is the queen mother, she hates, who should she hate?

"The Queen Mother! Queen mother! ”

Straight into the door of the palace, I saw the pale face of the queen on the bed, King Yan stood aside expressionlessly, and Huo Xun knelt in front of the bed and held his mother's hand tightly, and Huo Xun weakly stretched out his hand to Huo Ling, who rushed to the door but did not dare to take a step closer, covering his mouth and crying bitterly.

"Over...... Come here...... Come to the queen mother......"

"Queen Mother!"

Huo Ling couldn't help it anymore, and knelt down in front of the queen's bed, Huo Xun's side.

Seeing that her children were here, she smiled stiffly at the corners of her mouth, but in Huo Xun and Huo Ling's eyes, this was the first time her mother smiled.

Huo Ling couldn't cry, but Huo Xun couldn't help but look straight at his mother.

Ji Gu struggled to stand up, Huo Xun hurriedly went to help, and when she got up, Ji Gu held Huo Ling and Huo Xun tightly in her arms and stroked their heads.

"My child...... My kids ......"

Is this the mother's embrace, so warm, so secure, but why, it is about to be taken away?

Huo Ling didn't understand how this was, she thought there were still many days left.

"Queen Mother's ......"

Huo Xun shouted to him, but there was no movement, his tears gradually slipped down, and he realized that his mother had left them forever, and she didn't want them at all.

Huo Ling also felt that the temperature of her mother's arms began to withdraw little by little, and she trembled with fear and bit her lip tightly.

The next moment, Huo Xun reflexively and held his mother and Huo Ling in his arms, on one side was his mother's gradually cold body, and on the other hand was Huo Ling, who was trembling, his heart was torn to pieces at this moment.

When she was held in Huo Xun's arms, Huo Ling hugged her brother tightly, as if she had found the strongest support, she dared to cry loudly... And Huo Qi, the king of Yan, was still standing on the side, still expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Huo Xun, who was holding his dead mother and crying sister, slowly tilted his head, and his resentful gaze shot at King Yan, but his father, who was high up, turned his head away for the first time, he turned his head slowly, Huo Ling grabbed the corners of his clothes tighter and tighter, and his mother's body became more and more cold...... Only he can protect them, and only he can love them......
