How could she not be worried? The only person they had to guard against was Bei Chen Han, and when the person who had gone to spy on them came back and told her that Bai Qian was still in the house, Bai Qian creased his brow and snorted. He then said to that person, "Go and invite Prince Xi Ling over."
Xi Ling had always felt uneasy, but he had never expected that the news he had been waiting for would turn out to be this kind of news. "What did you say?" Xi Ling had captured all of the spies.
The spy was shocked, but still said, "Miss Su Nuo is injured. The empress invites you to come and see Miss Su Nuo." Without waiting for the spy to finish his words, he left.
The black-cloaked person was astonished. He had never seen his master leave so recklessly without a care. But now, Xiling was only regretting it, very much regretting it!
Fortunately, it was already late at night and the guards had relaxed. Since Xi Ling's martial arts skills were high, they didn't notice anything.
"Idiot woman." Xi Ling shouted as soon as he entered the door.
Bai Qian stopped Xi Ling at the door. When Xi Ling saw Bai Qian, he quickly asked, "How is the idiot woman?" The worry on his face was obvious.
"Nona is fine." Bai Qian comforted her.
As Bai Qian said this, Xi Ling's logic slowly returned. Bai Qian continued, "I didn't want to disrupt the plan to find you at first, but I don't think she's in a good mood. I think you should be able to give her some comfort."
"What is going on?" Xi Ling's expression had already calmed down.
Bai Qian glanced at him, and still said, "Because Xiao'er went to see you and stole Bei Chen Han's jade pendant, infuriating him, he intended to force Xiao'er. Since Xiao'er was agitated, she would …" Bai Qian bit her lips to the point of bleeding, "Then commit suicide."
Xi Ling stopped talking for a while and walked straight inside.
"I'm afraid she won't be able to take it," Bai Qian hurriedly said.
Xi Ling did not answer and continued walking inside. Su Nuo was sitting there, thinking about when her family's mausoleum would arrive. Just when she was worried that something wouldn't happen, Xi Ling walked in. When Su Nuo saw him, her eyes lit up. "Ling." She yelled and was about to get up, but the pain caused her to immediately touch her wound, causing her to gasp in pain.
However, Xi Ling did not move. He just stood there and looked straight at her. Su Nuo didn't notice it at first, but when she turned around and saw the look in Xi Ling's eyes, she became dumbfounded. Su Nuo had never seen that look on Xi Ling before.
For a moment, she forgot the pain. She felt that she had angered her family's mausoleum, and so on.
"Mausoleum." Su Nuo whispered.
Xi Ling still didn't move, only looking straight at her.
"Ling, I, I —" Su Nuo looked at him but didn't know what to say.
"Su Nuo, you want to kill yourself." Xi Ling opened his mouth and spoke with a very cold voice.
Su Nuo was stunned. She clearly wanted to explain, and she clearly felt that her family's mausoleum should be hugging her and asking her about it with heartache. However, everything was different. Shuno was frightened. Sitting there was worse than a child who had made a mistake.
"Su Nuo, this is how you love me. You love me to the point where you don't have the slightest bit of regret for me. You can easily kill yourself just like that." Xi Ling's gaze fell on the bandaged wound. With a single glance, he could tell how dangerous that wound was. As long as he was more accurate, perhaps it was just a sliver. Then, he wouldn't be able to see that person anymore.
Su Nuo was really scared, and her Mausoleum was truly angry, very angry, very angry. Su Nuo reached out to pull Xi Ling's hand, but the moment they touched, Xi Ling ruthlessly shook her off. Su Nuo was very injured and did not dare to move, afraid that her Ling Chen would abandon her and leave.
However, Xi Ling coldly said, "Su Nuo, you did well. You really did well. Your love for me is really deep. It really is deep." Su Nuo did not look up, so she did not see the desolation in Xi Ling's eyes.
Without waiting for Su Nuo to react, Xi Ling turned around and left. Su Nuo was scared silly and quickly tried to get out of the bed, but it was already a miracle that she could wake up so early. With such a large movement, she immediately fell weakly to the ground.
As soon as Bai Qian heard movement from inside, he hurriedly walked in and saw Xi Ling coldly walking outside. Before Bai Qian could ask, he heard Su Nuo shouting anxiously, "Ling, don't go, Ling." However, Xi Ling acted as if he did not hear it, and once again quickly disappeared into the darkness, as if he had never come before.
Bai Qian didn't care about all this anymore and quickly ran in. She carefully helped Su Nuo up and brought her back to the bed. Su Nuo grabbed her hands in fear. "Big sister, Ling is angry. Mausoleum is angry."
Bai Qian was stunned, but she still didn't quite understand.
"Elder sister, Mausoleum is angry. I didn't hold anything back, so I killed myself. He's angry, so he won't take me anymore." Su Nuo was very sad, indescribably sad. She wanted to urge him to stay, and very much wanted to.
This time, Bai Qian understood. However, she completely understood the feelings Xi Ling had just had. She gently consoled Su Nuo and gently asked, "Xiao Er, what did you think when you did this at that time?" She did not want to ask this question, but in the end, she did. It was as if many things were destined, and no matter how much she tried to hide, it was useless.
Su Nuo was stunned but still replied honestly, "Big sister, I don't know why, but even though I thought about Mausoleum at that time, I still felt very relaxed. It was the feeling of not having to care about anything anymore." Su Nuo wanted to painstakingly describe that feeling, but she did not know that she had already understood it.
Sure enough, her Na'er had never wanted to live in this world. Even if it was such a small and insignificant life, it was still a burden, a heavy burden filled with sin.
Bai Qian sighed deeply in her heart as she gently caressed Su Nuo's face with her fingertips. However, how could she bear to have Nuo'er forcefully pushed to her death like this? He couldn't bear to part with it!
Even if she was selfish, even if everything could change, even if everything could be cruel, she still hoped that her Na'er would live well in this world, even if her hands were stained with blood, even if her shoulders were covered with sin.
"Xiao'er!" Bai Qian shouted with a smile.
Su Nuo saw the gentle smile on Bai Qian's face, and her fear and worry slowly subsided. She could not help but look at Bai Qian and said, "Xiao'er, do you know that you are the best gift the heavens have given me?"
He still looked at her as if he had been bewitched.
Bai Qian continued, "So, Xiao'er, promise Big Sister that no matter when, no matter where, no matter what, you will still live on bravely, okay?"
Su Nuo nodded, and she couldn't help but nod.
Xiao Bai smiled lightly. "It's really elder sister's kindness." Then he took Su Nuo into his arms.
The fear and unease in her heart was slightly smoothed out by Whitey, making her feel a lot better. However, she was still worried about her family's mausoleum. She had a premonition that her family's mausoleum would really ignore her. Su Nuo, who was in Bai Qian's arms, said dejectedly, "But, big sister, will Ling really ignore me?"
Bai Qian tapped her forehead. "You little idiot, do you know how hard it was for Xi Ling to love you? But you just overturned his feelings for you like that, without leaving any leeway."
Su Nuo felt that her elder sister had completely said something wrong, so she hurriedly replied, "No, no."
However, Bai Qian did not explain to her, only saying, "Being angry is a given, but this time you've hurt his heart. However, Xi Ling has truly fallen in love with you, so, in this lifetime, it's impossible for you to shake him off." But as she said these words, her clear eyes flashed with sorrow.
Su Nuo didn't see it, but hearing her sister say this, she felt more or less at ease. After thinking for a while, she said, "Elder sister, I'll go and tell Ling Chen now, okay? This way, he'll calm down."
Bai Qian sternly said, "You can't do it now. Look at the wound. Do you want Mausoleum to ignore you for the rest of your life?"
Su Nuo lowered her head to look at her wounds. They were indeed quite sinister. She said in a discouraged manner, "Alright then."
The black robed man didn't expect his master to return so soon. He was still considering whether to ask about the situation, but after seeing how his master was still far off in the distance, he couldn't help but feel indignant.
Xi Ling tightly clenched his fist. It was so tight that it hurt his bones, but he did not let go. He, Xi Ling, had never been afraid before, but just now, he was truly afraid. On the way there, his mind was filled with idiots and lifeless women.
Xi Ling had seen Su Nuo's lifeless look before, and she was on the verge of death. If it wasn't for the lifesaving pill, he wouldn't have been able to reach this step with that idiot woman.
However, he had never expected that it would actually come to this point today. He saw it once again, he saw it once again, and he was completely certain of his intentions, and even though he had given up on his brother Bei Chen Han, he did not hesitate to become enemies with him. That woman who loved him, she actually wanted to kill herself so easily, she could actually do this so easily.
He was extremely afraid, he was jealous, he wanted to shout at this idiotic woman who told him about love everyday, he was Xi Ling, the Ninth Prince of the Southern Champion Kingdom Xi Ling, not that Duke Bei Chen who had already died and turned into ashes.
He desperately wanted to do this, to do this, to do this, but he couldn't. He couldn't do anything. The raging flames burned fiercely within him, burning away everything. Yet he couldn't do anything!
However, in the end, Xi Ling only laughed at himself, and the palace guards heard his laughter. It was sad, sad, and deep emotion that could not be described with words.
That's right, he had sunk in deeply for a long time. Even if he really wanted to, it would be useless. He was still sinking in and would never be able to go back.
In the end, Su Nuo was tired and fell asleep in Bai Qian's embrace. As Whitesnow gently placed her on the bed, she heard Su Nuo mutter, "Ling, don't be angry, Ling."
Bai Qian gently caressed her head. "My foolish girl, the most unfortunate thing in the world is to fall in love with the right person at the wrong time. That is wrong after all. Na'er, if this can do it, don't make it wrong again. If this time, it's true, it's wrong."
Late at night!
Xi Ling ran out from the shadows. When Bai Qian saw him, she only whispered, "You've come."
It was not hard to tell that his expression was not good. Bai Qian stood up from the bed and said, "Xi Ling, don't blame Xiao'er. She didn't do it on purpose. She was just instinctively protecting herself."
"I won't blame her, because I will make her fall in love with me in the end. It will be me, Xi Ling, not Bei Chen Han nor Duke Chen." Xi Ling's words were filled with certainty.
She smiled faintly. "I will. I will definitely fall in love with you." He paused. "Because you are from the West Tomb." With that, Bai Qian walked out softly.
Su Nuo was sleeping soundly and did not feel the coming of Xi Ling in the slightest. Xi Ling walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. He quietly looked at Su Nuo's pale and injured face. "Idiot girl."
Xi Ling shouted softly, as if he was in a trance.
