Prince's Mansion. Xuhexuan.

A delicate rosewood table. A handsome man in white sits around a table with a handsome man in an elegant lilac brocade robe. A game of chess on the table. The whites are all surrounded by the sunspots on one side. Cornered. Bai Zi is obviously no longer in a desperate situation. Possibility of survival.

"Ahh

A helpless sigh sounded almost invisibly. The man in purple looked helplessly at the handsome man in white on the opposite side. Once again, the Son surrenders. Helpless smile. Said: "Haoxuan. I throw in the towel."

In this messy time. There are also two people who play chess here in such a casual and elegant manner. It is Liu Xiang's only son, Liu Haoxuan, and Nangong Yueyao, the crown prince of the Huang Dynasty.

In fact. It's not that his Nangong Yueyao's chess skills are not as good as Liu Haoxuan. It's just that his heart is haunted by something. I've been depressed. Uneasy. Always distracted when playing chess. will lead to every chess game. It all ends with him losing.

"Yao. It's not that you're not as good at chess as me. It's that you can't calm down." Liu Haoxuan said with a smile. There is a deep helplessness in the depths of the eyes.

As a friend. Liu Haoxuan has said everything he should say. Everything that needs to be done has been done. It's just that. No matter what he says. Couldn't convince Nangong Yueyao...... Let go of the thoughts that shouldn't be extravagant. In fact. It's not just Nangong Yueyao. Liu Haoxuan, how can he let it go.

That obsession that shouldn't go to extravagant hopes. Obsession. He. And how can they put it down? Such a wonderful woman. Fell in love. I'm afraid I'll never forget it again in this life. Nangong Yueyao can't let it go. Liu Haoxuan is also.

How can they come out of the pain of losing Xi'er? Nangong Yueyao can't. He Liu Haoxuan can't either. Liu Haoxuan thought so in his heart. A desolate, bitter and helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Meditation ......." Nangong Yueyao smiled self-deprecatingly. Said: "How can you calm down? There was no news of Xi'er for a day. I can't calm down. Hao Xuan. Are you really not in a hurry at all? Doesn't it hurt?" He didn't believe it. It's just that Haoxuan doesn't want to show it.

"I don't believe Xi'er has really ...... It's gone. Hao Xuan. Can you believe it?" He knows. Hao Xuan he didn't believe it either. It's just that. I know it in my heart. This sentence. But he still asked. This question. He had asked Haoxuan countless times. And the result is the same every time. Hao Xuan never answered him.

In fact. Does this answer still need to be answered by Haoxuan? In fact. The answer is in their hearts. They all have the same idea. He didn't believe it. How could Haoxuan believe it. Even the queen mother didn't believe it. How could they possibly believe it?

"Yao. Do you think it makes sense for us to still struggle with this question? If Xi'er were still alive. I believe. She doesn't want to see us like that. If Xi'er is really ...... has ......" Liu Haoxuan couldn't say that cruel word in the end. He paused. "Anyway. Xi'er never wants to see us like this."

It's been so long. He still couldn't believe it. Xi'er, she's been away from them for two months. He couldn't believe it. I don't want to believe it.

"If Xi'er is still alive. One day. She'll come back. will come back to us. She's not coming back now. Hsu is because she has her reasons. Things with her are not done well. Wait until she's done with what she's doing. Wait until the time comes. She will definitely come back to us."

Liu Haoxuan word by word. The words are clear. He said softly and firmly. Yes. Xi'er must still be alive. She'll definitely be back. Will definitely come back to them.

Maybe. She was not far from them. It's just that. They didn't notice it. He could feel it. Xi'er, she's still alive.

"yes. I always believe that Xi'er is still alive." A layer of hazy mist appeared in Nangong Yueyao's phoenix eyes. If the rain in the south of the Yangtze River in March. Beautiful and beautiful. It is impossible to see the emotion in his eyes." That day. I've seen the ashes under the coffin's clothes. That's not ashes. Just pure charcoal ash. Hao Xuan. You may not know. I brought a small pile of ashes from the coffin for the Imperial Physician to appraise it. It didn't contain human ashes. I think. Xi'er, she may have escaped before the fire. Xi'er is so smart. How could it be that I didn't feel anything about that fire?"

"What you say is true." Liu Haoxuan's eyes lit up. Surprise flashed in my eyes. He was a little emotional. But still elegant. Confirmed again: "Yao. What you're saying is true."

Then. He was so sad. Immersed in the pain of losing Xi'er. I don't dare to ...... at all I didn't have the courage to look at the contents of the coffin. Just looking at the layer of new clothes specially cut for Xi'er on it. His heart was already suffocating. Where do you have the courage to lift that layer of clothing to see what is covered under the clothing?

That fire. Burned the Qingheju cleanly. How could it be possible to leave the clothes that Xi'er usually wore. So. When he saw the new clothes neatly arranged in the coffin. His heart ached. Choking to the point of fainting.

Heart-rending pain. It hurts to the heart. The pain of losing a loved one. It hurts so much that you can barely breathe. Even breathing can involve heartache.

Nangong Yueyao looked at the elegant man in front of her. That has always been calm and unchaotic. A man who maintains an elegant demeanor at all times. It was as if nothing could alarm him. And this moment. After hearing the news that Xi'er might be alive. He couldn't stay calm anymore. Finally...... Slightly moved. There was finally excitement on his face. Perfect calm indifferent camouflage mask. Finally...... Tear.

At the moment when he learned that Xi'er was buried in the fire. His expression was also calm. So calm that you can't see any sad emotions. It's so calm. Indifferent. Calm and indifferent to the point of being frightening. At that time. He was really afraid that Haoxuan would fall because he couldn't bear the pain of losing Xi'er.

OK. It was just a false alarm. He clenched his heart for two months. At this moment. Finally quietly put down.

Hao Xuan has been suppressed for too long, too long. Keeping everything to the bottom of my heart and not showing it. He was really afraid that Haoxuan would not be able to bear it......

"Yes. What I say is true. Hao Xuan. Why should I lie to you? This is the only ...... that sustains me alive Strength." Nangong Yueyao smiled slightly. Road. His captivating crystal tone. Elegant as always. Pleasant to the ear.

If. Xi'er really ...... It's gone. Then he won't survive. If. Sheng can't be married to Xi'er. So. Even if it's death. He's going to be with Xi'er too. At least. Huangquan Road. With him by his side. Xi'er alone will not be lonely. Afraid.
