The guards of the Mo King's Manor never stopped Xiao Yiyan from entering or leaving. Everyone knew that he and Brother Mo had a deep relationship, they couldn't imagine what kind of unfavorable things he would do.

"Sure enough …" He was instantly speechless. He felt as if thousands of arrows had pierced into his heart. Even the fingers under his sleeves began to tremble. The hand that was holding onto Gu Qingli's throat also slowly slipped away. It was as weak as his heart.

"Since the prince has welcomed a new disciple, he should be in a great mood. It's about time he let an old man like me leave the palace, right?"

Xiao Yi Xiu closed his eyes and walked out of the Wind Spirit Pavilion without looking back.

Along the way, the night wind breezed by, and his heart grew colder and colder. It was clearly summer, but he felt as if his entire body had fallen into an icehouse. Unknowingly, his lips were covered in a sweet taste, and he didn't notice in the slightest that he had bitten his teeth so hard that they bled.

He didn't return to the bridal chamber, but went to Li Yue's garden.

The dilapidated wooden house had been attacked by fire and water. After being abandoned for so long, it had long ago become covered in dust. The door creaked as if it were a dying person moaning.

He sat alone in a wooden chair, thinking back to the past. The past was clear and vague … The pain of her Yue Ye testing the medicine, the coldness of her sitting alone, the tacit understanding of his silence when sitting.

The night wind brought the fragrance from the herb garden in. Ever since he went into the water, the undamaged herbs in the wooden house had all been removed. However, they could not stop the faint medicinal fragrance growing in the herb garden.

Xiao Yi Xiu took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve. There was a barely recognizable lotus flower embroidered on it. With a glance, one could tell it was the work of a beginner. He looked at it silently for a long time before suddenly getting up and quickly leaving the herb garden.

He could no longer tell who was the hidden fragrance between his fingers, and who was the longing in his heart. He only knew that even if he went back on his word, he would still go after the girl that he wanted.

The carriage of King Chen was not slow at all. It was a waste for him to use four horses to pull the carriage, but he still thought it was a bit slow. He wanted to let the coachman whip it down and let the horse run away.

"Don't be like this. This kind of good foal has a fiery nature. If you whip them too much, it will instead go against their character."

Xiao Yiyan pursed his lips and looked at her. From the start, he still felt that she wasn't real.

Tonight, she felt like she was in a dream as she quietly returned to the Residence of Mo King. She didn't care about her reputation and her guards, she only wanted to see if she would be hurt or not. She wanted to say something to comfort her in this moment of despair.

He was both happy and surprised. He thought and thought, and couldn't help but reach out to shake Gu Qingli's hand.

Gu Qingli trembled and quickly withdrew her hand, "Duke Chen, don't move if you have to."

Xiao Yiyan let out a long sigh. He didn't feel the heartache or disappointment he had in falling into the deep abyss, only sadness and loneliness. He looked at Gu Qingli and said gently yet helplessly: "You don't actually want to come with me, you're just angry at him, right?"

"Your Highness, you're overthinking it. Of course, I want to leave. Not only do I have to leave the Mo King's Manor, I also have to leave the East Abyss."

Xiao Yiyan shook his head, "You don't even know your own heart. Your eyes are full of scars, drop by drop, gather sand to form a tower … "The tip of the pagoda is about to pop out of your eyes."

"Your Highness!" Gu Qingli was a bit embarrassed and annoyed. Her face was pale, and her dark pupils were burning like black flames.

"Even if you leave the East Mountain, you won't be able to escape the shadow in your heart. His shadow has already taken root in your heart."

"Your Highness, if you continue to say such words, I will …" "Ahhh!" Gu Qing Li hadn't finished speaking when the horse pulling the carriage encountered an accident. A long hissing sound tore through the night sky, and its sharp hooves sent it flying, almost overturning the carriage.

The carriage driver's angry shout and the sound of the whip swinging through the air came from outside. Only after much difficulty did the fierce horse calm down, allowing the carriage to return to its original position.

Gu Qing Li's stomach felt like it was about to flip upside down from the intense shockwave. Xiao Yi Yan felt dizzy as well. Both of them simultaneously lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage, standing stiffly on the spot.

Not far in front of the carriage, a row of fine horses were surrounding the carriage. On each horse sat a knight dressed in black at night. His face was extremely ordinary, as if he had fallen into a pile and would never be able to find him again.

Between these ordinary looking faces was a fine horse that was as white as snow. It was a man with flawless white clothes, his black hair carelessly tied up and fluttering in the night wind. A few messy strands of hair were stuck to his cheek, making his pale face seem even more jade-like and glossy.

In Gu Qingli's eyes, only a pair of cold eyes remained. They were like two lonely stars beside a cold moon, illuminating her path slightly.

"Fifth brother, you finally caught up." Xiao Yiyan sighed lightly, "You're even more unbearable than I thought."

"Ah Yan, don't blame me. You can have anyone you want under the heavens, but Gu Qingli can't. She's my — wife. "

Gu Qing Li was startled. Her eyes were filled with tears. She saw the white shadow dismount and walk towards her step by step. It was like a reflection in the water, so unreal.

"Royal Consort … This king will come to bring you back to your residence. " His voice, soft and loving, made her heart go soft.

A streak of sword light suddenly appeared right in front of them. Xiao Yiyan slowly said, "Royal Concubine … No, it's Gu Qingli. She's a free woman right now, so you promised her freedom. Even if you regret it, if she doesn't want to, I won't let you take her away. "

Xiao Yi Xiu looked at Gu Qing Li, waiting for her reply. Starlight flickered in his eyes.

"…" Gu Qingli stayed silent for a long time without making a sound.

"Royal Consort … "Qing Li." Xiaoyi Xiu stretched out his hand from beneath the sword and turned it over, waiting for Gu Qing Li to place his hand in his palm.

"Li Yue, what should we do?"

Xiao Yi Xiu raised his eyebrows helplessly. He sighed softly, "She … Perhaps her loss of memories is the arrangement of the heavens. The departure of the moon in this king's heart seems to have disappeared along with the loss of his memories, and even his true self has been lost. "

Gu Qingli's eyes widened. "You think she's changed?"

"This King can't say it, but I feel that compared to her, it seems like... You are more like Li Yue. "

Gu Qingli wasn't sure if she was angry or happy, but he finally felt something was wrong. But that fake Li Yue had his child, so he couldn't give her up anymore.

Xiao Yiyan said angrily: "Fifth brother still hasn't forgotten Li Yue. Is the reason why you're chasing after Qing Li because she somewhat resembles Li Yue? There are two of them, and I'm afraid you're mistaken. No woman likes to be a double. If you don't love her, don't stop her from leaving. "

Gu Qingli wasn't as angry as he was. After all, there was no point in getting jealous. She stared at Xiao Yi Xiu and asked, "If I follow you back to the manor, how will you deal with the child in her womb?"

Xiao Yi Xiu was stunned for a moment. With a puzzled expression, he raised his eyebrows. "The reason you want to leave … could it be because of the child in her womb?"

Xiao Yi Yan snorted, "You have a child with someone else, how can she not mind? From start to finish, you've been the only one in her heart, but you're still thinking about Li Yue. You want to enjoy the blessings of others, but she's not a woman who's willing to share her husband's fortune with others! "

Xiao Yi Xiu sighed, "I remember telling you that I was to stay in the room for the night... "He didn't do anything to her at all." As he spoke of this embarrassing matter, his voice couldn't help but lower. After all, the shadow guards behind him were all his subordinates, and he didn't want his subordinates to hear such a private conversation.

However, Xiao Yiyan clearly didn't care about his face, and his voice rose even higher: "You didn't touch her, could it be that the child in her stomach isn't yours?"
