Chapter 8: Looking Back on the Past and Facing the Old

Ye Xiangxi wanted the person behind him to be able to open his mouth and say to her: Xiangxi, don't leave me

She wished he could say: I am willing to be with you

But he didn't, he didn't say a word to save her, so she could only keep walking forward without looking back

It wasn't until Ye Xiangxi walked through the city gate in despair, that she cautiously turned around and wanted to see Mu Zijian

But when she turned around, she didn't see Mu Zijian's shadow

He...... Left......

Ye Xiangxi smiled bitterly, touched the human skin mask on his face, and finally held back the tears in his eyes

Turning around, she walked in the direction of the Beichen Palace

"Are you looking for me, hehe......" Ye Xiangxi couldn't help but sneer as he looked at the notices posted on the street

It's good to look for her, she goes back by herself, she goes to find death by herself

Ye Xiangxi walked on this crowded street, and from time to time someone passed by him, with a little breeze

The street vendor hawker, the storyteller's shocking wooden woman singing a little song, the child's laughter...... Everything was so lively and peaceful

Ye Xiangxi was suddenly relieved, what Mo Nian said was right, Beichen did give the people a good life, but her father, the former Nanyue Emperor, did not do it

In this world, the capable live in

Ten years of hatred...... Now I've put it down, but I'm nothing

Ye Xiang stopped suddenly, looking at the Beichen Palace standing there not far away, and the prosperous place in the world is there

There are the most rare treasures in the world, the most powerful people in the world, and a group of harem concubines who fight with me

It is the most beautiful and beautiful place in the world, but it is also the most sinister place in the human heart

How many lonely souls are buried under the green tiles and red walls?

That's where Ye Xiangxi has lived for ten years, and she has been walking on thin ice for ten years, and she has been pretending to be stupid until now

Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiangxi strode towards the palace gate

"Whoever trespasses on the forbidden palace is dead," the guard guarding the door looked cold, pulled out the sword in his hand, and stopped Ye Xiangxi

Ye Xiangxi snorted lightly, stretched out his hand, tore off the human skin mask on his face, and raised his head proudly

"Ah, the former Nanyue princess, Ye Xiangxi," the guard was immediately stunned

"Come and catch her" was just that moment, and the guard called a dozen guards on the side to come up and escort Ye Xiangxi

Ye Xiangxi's eyes were pale, and they escorted her to the deep palace

She didn't want to live anymore when she came

Weiyang Palace

Ye Xiangxi was forced to kneel on the marble slab in front of the Weiyang Palace, the cold wind blew, and her eyes were instantly covered by her hair, blocking her vision

Ye Xiangxi raised her head and looked directly at the Weiyang Palace in front of her, where the door was closed, and it was here that she lost the last Uncle Yan in the world who cared about her

The blood was red that day, and the entire palace and palace city were full of the smell of blood between her noses

I thought I could win Beichen in one fell swoop, but I never wanted to lose

Suddenly, the vermilion gate was opened with a 'squeak', Ye Xiangxi saw Mo Nian in a bright yellow dragon robe, and walked towards her with a faint smile on his face

"Why did you come back," Mo Nian squatted down and looked down at Ye Xiangxi, with some tenderness in his voice

"I want to die," Ye Xiangxi sneered and sneered

"Why can't you be alive, isn't it great" Mo Nian suddenly stretched out his bony right hand and lifted Ye Xiangxi's jaw

"In the past, I lived to avenge and restore the country, but now I have no reason to live," Ye Xiangxi didn't dodge Mo Nian's movements, just lowered his eyes and said in a low voice

She thought that Mu Zijin would be the only reason for her to live, but he didn't want to, so she didn't want to live anymore

"You can still take some time to make a comeback if you escape, can't you, just this one failure makes you so depressed, it's not like you," Mo Nian finally wrinkled his eyebrows

"No, you're a good emperor...... You're right, my father is a mediocre person, Beichen will not be destroyed, Nanyue will be in this world, the weak will eat the strong, I don't want to take revenge anymore, I let it go," Ye Xiangxi shook his head with a wry smile and said

She really let go of her mother, and said that she was responsible for her father and the emperor, and the people of the world were to blame

"Come in with me," Mo Nian's face changed and his voice calmed, and he pulled Ye Xiangxi up and walked into Weiyang Palace

"Kill me," Ye Xiangxi said as he looked at the slowly closing door and didn't look at Mo Nian

"Ye Xiangxi, do you know, I knew about you five years ago," Mo Nian didn't pay attention to Ye Xiangxi's words, but talked about it himself

"Five years ago, hehe...... That's when you started to guard against me...... No wonder I'm going to lose......" Ye Xiangxi was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled again

She always thought that her disguise could fool everyone, and she did deceive many people, but she alone failed to deceive Mu Zijin and Mo Nian

"It's not that I was still young at that time, and I accidentally saw you in the Huanyi Bureau, when you were being whipped by your aunt in charge, you cried and begged her not to beat you, maybe you could fool everyone, but you didn't fool me, there was no fear or grievance in your eyes, there was just stubbornness, indifference and arrogance that was not suitable for your age," Mo Nian's voice suddenly carried a little ethereal, as if he brought people back to the time when he and Ye Xiangxi were still young

"So, so you started to check me, started spying on me, started guarding against me," Ye Xiangxi looked at Mo Nian indifferently and asked rhetorically

At that time, she may not have hidden herself enough, so she was guarded against by Mo Nian, so she failed

"No, I'm just interested in you, but I didn't expect you to be the princess of Qiannanyue...... I was the crown prince at the time, so I always paid attention to you for the sake of Beichen, and I know what you have done in the past five years," Mo Nian sighed lightly, as if he was sighing at this fate

"Mo Nian, now that I am already your subordinate, why do you still come to me to show off your foresight, what do you want to prove, wouldn't it be good if you killed me with a sword" Ye Xiangxi glared at Mo Nian angrily, she really couldn't stand Mo Nian, and used the little horse feet she showed when she was young to mock her

It's that she lost, she can't recover Nanyue, but that doesn't mean that she can be ridiculed like Mo Nian

How to say that she Ye Xiangxi is also the princess of Nanyue, even if she dies, she must have dignity

"Ye Xiangxi, do you think I am sarcastic about you, I told you that I will not let you die, I want to marry you, I like you" Mo Nian's face suddenly rose a touch of anger, and his hands suddenly clasped Ye Xiangxi's shoulders and said loudly

"What are you talking about," Ye Xiangxi's mind widened in disbelief as if there was a thunderclap in his mind

"You've been quietly in my heart for the past five years...... It's good to promise me to be my concubine," Mo Nian's anger finally subsided, and his voice began to carry some tenderness again

"No...... No way...... I can't promise you......" Ye Xiang couldn't help but shake his head and kept saying in his mouth

How could she marry Mo Nian, this is outrageous

"Ye Xiangxi, don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink," Mo Nian finally roared angrily

"Mo Nian, you killed me," Ye Xiangxi shook off Mo Nian's hands that were clasping her shoulders, her hair was messy and embarrassed

"Ye Xiangxi, I told you that you want to die, I won't let you get your wish, even if you don't agree to me, I will marry you, three days later, you will wait to put on the wedding dress," Mo Nian snorted coldly, and after saying this, he turned around and brushed his sleeves away

Ye Xiangxi didn't have time to think about it, so she ran towards the gate, she wanted to leave here, she didn't want to marry Mo Nian

"Miss Ye, please go back, you can't step out of here within three days," but she never thought that the guard at the door blocked her way with a spear in his hand

Ye Xiangxi originally wanted to use his martial arts to fight these guards, but as soon as he used his skills, he felt that his internal strength was imprisoned, and he generally couldn't use it

She looked back at the incense burner on the table suddenly, and a despair gradually rose in her heart......

She lay on the ground softly, let be carried to the bed by several palace maids, and tears slipped silently from the corners of her eyes

Now she can't even kill herself......

Knowing this, she might as well have decided on her own outside the palace......

Ye Xiangxi has never felt so desperate as now, she can't get Mu Zijian, but she is forced to marry Mo Nian......

How sad it should have been for her to sigh at each other's throats

......

The three days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they came

On this day, Ye Xiangxi was still soft, and could only let the palace maid fiddle with her, put on makeup for her, comb her hair, and put on the wedding dress that she didn't want to wear at all......

"Niangniang, don't cry, what should I do?" the little palace maid saw Ye Xiangxi's tears falling, so she scratched her ears and cheeks with a bitter face

"You...... What's the name" Ye Xiangxi looked at the innocent little palace maid in front of her, she seemed to think of the former Yingyue again, the two of them were pure, like a blank piece of paper

Ye Xiangxi finally spoke, saying the first sentence in the past three days, with a little hoarseness in his voice

"Slave maid, crescent moon Niangniang, don't cry, you should be happy to be a concubine, the emperor is good-looking," the little palace maid smirked and rubbed her round bun face and said

"Crescent Moon...... Moon ...... You don't understand......" Ye Xiangxi was stunned, even the name was so similar, but whoever said that being a concubine should be happy, I'm afraid that only a simple girl like her would think like this......

"Niangniang, don't be unhappy, if you are hungry Crescent, there is osmanthus cake here," the little palace maid called Crescent Moon obviously didn't understand Ye Xiangxi's words, and still said with a smirk

As she spoke, she looked around again, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she took out the osmanthus cake hidden in her clothes and wrapped in oiled paper and handed it to Ye Xiangxi

As soon as Ye Xiangxi saw the osmanthus cake in his chubby hand of this new moon, his nose was sour again, it was really too similar...... Yingyue once secretly gave her her favorite osmanthus cake

Yingyue was also smiling so silly at the beginning, and her cute smile was deeply engraved into Ye Xiangxi's mind, but she never thought that the silly face with a smile could only live in her memory now
