24. Chapter 24. Hard-hearted woman

Since Ye Hui'er lived in the palace, Xuanqing and Ouyang Luochen have rarely had time to be alone.

Ye Hui'er was always in the middle of them, chattering like a happy elf all day long, surrounding the two of them, and from time to time she made some pastries for them to taste.

Gradually, Ouyang Luochen also let down his guard against Ye Hui'er, but also began to care about this person's existence. For some reason, he always seemed to see the shadow of another person in Ye Hui'er's body......

That person smiled so sweetly at first, so he didn't know how to defend people, and he was a little girl who didn't know anything about the world. But he taught her too much and changed her too much, and now she is no longer the little girl who has no heart.

He hadn't seen her like this for a long, long time......

……

On this day, Ouyang Luochen came to Xuanqing's house again, and told her with a stern face: "Qing'er, go to Yizhou and kill Liu Rong, the assassin of Yizhou." ”

Xuanqing didn't even blink, and replied lightly: "Yes." ”

She no longer knew how many people she had killed under such an order, and she was used to Ouyang Luochen giving such an order.

She already knew that when she was healed, there would definitely be a new task waiting for her.

Ouyang Luochen looked at Xuanqing deeply, but he couldn't see any expression on her face, let alone the unbearable and scared he expected......

He couldn't help but think that this woman was really a hard-hearted woman......

Even her smile, he felt that it was too fake, half sincere and half fake, and the methods were too vicious and not sweet enough. This made Ouyang Luochen suddenly feel very unfamiliar with Xuanqing, and even a little disgusted......

It was Ye Hui'er, the little girl who was exactly the same as Xuanqing, but it could make Ouyang Luochen feel at ease.

Ye Hui'er's smile is innocent and cute, and she treats animals so kindly and can't bear to hurt them. He once accidentally saw Hui'er pick up an injured white rabbit from nowhere and bring it back to raise it and take care of it.

Ye Hui'er's innocence and kindness, and Xuanqing's ruthlessness, formed a great contrast in Ouyang Luochen's heart at this moment. Seeing Xuanqing's cold face at this moment, he remembered Ye Hui'er's innocent and harmless appearance when she smiled, just like Xuanqing, who had not become a killer before the age of sixteen, ignorant of the world, innocent and romantic......

Ouyang Luochen forcibly suppressed the disgust in his heart, and only said lightly: "Be careful." Then he left the Xuanqing house. didn't say a word, which made Xuanqing a little surprised. Looking at her departing back in a daze, how could she not see his indifference? It's just that she doesn't understand, what did she do wrong to make him so indifferent to her?

And after Ouyang Luochen returned to his room, he was in an extremely low mood.

Two identical faces churned in his mind, annoying him to the core. He even forgot who turned the once ignorant and innocent woman into this cold-blooded and ruthless killer step by step, but he only thought about how bad she is now......

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Xuanqing, who was dressed in a fiery red dress, led Xiaobai to the gate of the palace alone.

There was no expression on her face, she didn't look sad or happy, but she suppressed all the sadness in the deepest part of her heart.

Ouyang Luochen didn't come to see her, he didn't come to see her off...... This has never been the case before.
