Chapter 78: Parting
"What do you want to tell me?" Ni Shang and Xuanyuan Hui walked out side by side in silence. Nishang felt that he couldn't go on like this, and if he continued like this, he might be able to feel the waves in his heart.
"On the night of the pilgrimage, you went to my room. β
I didn't expect Xuanyuan Hui to say that this was actually what he was going to say! Ni Xiang's feet suddenly stopped, and he looked at the man in front of him in surprise. What does he want to say? What does he want to express!
"I was in my room that night. Xuanyuan Hui looked at Ni Shang's eyes and said so indifferently.
Ni Shang flew quickly, almost subconsciously, and threw out the delicate double-edged dagger sent by Brother Wang Xuanyu from his sleeve, and pressed it against Xuanyuan Hui's neck. "So you know it all!"
Nishang was furious, perhaps he knew more, such as that she had slept drunk on his couch. But it was just that he got drunk and strayed into his room, and he said this to himself, what was he doing?
Threaten, taunt, or something else?
But whatever it was, she couldn't stand such words that sounded degrading to her chastity!
If he was someone else, this dagger should have been deep into his throat by now!
"No, that's not what I'm trying to say, you're mistaken. Xuanyuan Hui was speechless and didn't know how to explain it. For the first time, he realized that he was so inexperienced in dealing with women that he didn't know how to deal with them.
He just wanted to tell her that he had been paying attention to her a long time ago, but he didn't expect the words to make her misunderstood.
"Princess, is there something going on?" shouted the dwarf guard in the distance.
"It's okay, you are not allowed to come!" ordered Nishang angrily. Then he put down the dagger, turned to Xuanyuan Hui and said, "You come with me." β
The two walked into the woods where the cherry blossoms and trees were wrong, and Ni Shang turned his back to Xuanyuan Hui and said, "That day, it was just that I drank a little more wine that I strayed into your room, don't take it too seriously." β
Xuanyuan Hui looked at Ni Shang's light and slender body, standing under the cherry blossom tree, her black hair hanging down to her waist. There was a gust of wind that stirred her hair and the corners of her skirt.
"I-" Xuanyuan Hui began, but he didn't know where to start.
"If the eldest prince is fine, Nishang will go first. Nishang was indifferent to leave, and she didn't want to linger here for a moment.
"Wait!" he took two steps forward, reaching out to grab her arm. "I, I have something to say. β
"Say something quickly!" Neon broke free from his big grip on her.
"I want to tell you β I've had a different feeling for you since I first met you. The first time I saw you, you were seven years old, sitting quietly in the imperial garden like a virgin, and I felt like I had seen you somewhere. β
Nishang's heart was pounding, he didn't dare to look back at him, now just listening to his voice made her whole body tingle, and her heart seemed to be pulled by some emotion one after another. She felt her face flush and her brain heated.
"Later, for ten years, I forgot about you because I couldn't see you. Suddenly, at the pilgrimage you appear again. I went out to meet you in the western suburbs, and when you got out of the carriage and walked past me, I felt my heart move. You are veiled, but I recognize you by your breath alone. You... You feel familiar to me. β
Restrained, deep, warm, familiar.
Yes, I've felt that way too!
Nishang shouted inwardly.
"You are white, like a holy lotus on a snowy mountain. I can't help but look at you, but you are cold to me and reject me thousands of miles away. β
Yes, if you come near, I will stay away.
Nishang replied in her heart.
"But I know that you like me, you care about me, and you're willing... Stay with me. β
"No!" Neon Dress turned suddenly, she wouldn't allow him to say such a thing. He offended her, read her heart, disturbed her thoughts, and made decisions for her!
"You're Dalie Jinlan's husband!" Ni Shang shouted at him angrily, no one had ever seen her so angry.
"I'm not! It's all politics! I don't love her, I don't promise her. Da Lie deceived everyone into letting down their vigilance under the guise of a marriage, but on this day he took my father's royal power and invaded my homeland, is such a marriage recognized by God?" Xuanyuan Hui was also angry.
"The one I loveβall the time, it's you!" he finally said from the bottom of his heart.
Nishang endured the pain in her heart, "No, this is not okay, me and you, absolutely not." β
"Why?" he asked her gently.
"There are not so many whys! My marriage will be decided by my father and brother!"
He approached her gently, took her into his arms, and said with relief, "If this is what you are worried about, then I will personally go to Dalie with the dowry to propose marriage to your father and brother." Trust me, I'll spend my life taking care of you. β
Neon shoved him away, stabbing the double-edged sword in her hand into her throat.
His eyes were quick, and he grabbed the sharp blade of the dagger, and blood flowed from the blade, "Why hurt yourself!"
"Me and you, never, no, but, can. She told him word by word, extremely indifferent. "If you want to blaspheme me, then today you will either die or you die. β
"If I love you, do you want me to die or you die?" he listened sadly, and the woman said it so decisively. He even did not hesitate to die to escape himself.
He held down her dagger, no matter how much blood was shed from the hand that held it.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Xuanyuan Hui said.
"Can I go, then?" asked Neon Dress indifferently.
"Yes. β
"That's good. Nishang pulled the dagger out of his hand, the sharp blade cutting further through the flesh of his hand.
Nishang turned to leave, not looking back.
"But once it's gone, I don't know when I'll see you again. For the rest of her life, the princess will be wellβ"
Xuanyuan Hui let the blood on his hands flow down his fingers. Looking at the back of Ni Xiang, he said with a smile.
At this moment, it hurts more than the hand is the heart.
A man like the wind. In the wind. Under the cherry blossom trees, Xuanyuan Hui frowned, smiling in the wind.
Don't look back. The girl in white was indifferent and resolute. Never look back.
"But once I go, I don't know the dangerous road ahead. For the rest of her life, maybe life and death, princess, take care-"
It turned out that he also knew that he was not completely sure of attacking the palace!
It turned out that he had already planned to die!
Nishang wanted to turn back, as if to tell him that she was willing to stay and fight with him. It doesn't matter if he's a princess or not, and whether he's a prince or not!
For the rest of your life, take me to fight together.
The rivers and lakes are far away, I am willing to walk with you!
But no, there must be no turning back. As long as you turn around, you will never be able to go again!
Tears flowed in Nishang's eyes, and her heart hurt to death, but reason told her that she had to get out of here quickly!
It hurts, like a needle in my heart!
Xuanyuan Hui relied on the divine power of the Clear Stone, not that he couldn't feel it. He knew she was in pain too. But maybe it's better not to stop her! It's better not to keep her!
Because of following him, he can't even guarantee her life!
