Chapter 1152: Holding Him Tight
“I’m Princess Lan. Can’t I visit my own sister-in-law?”
Lan Ling-Er questioned the guards.
The guards had to reply frankly, “Our apologies, Your Highness. His Majesty ordered that no one can see the Queen privately, not even you, Princess Lan.”
“Not even me?”
Lan Ling-Er winked at the two behind her. Huo Yunshen and Helian Qingyu got her hint, took down the guards and dragged them away in no time.
Then they came into the Queen’s chamber to witness such a scene.
The woman inside had already gotten rid of her wedding gown and was throwing a long rope made of tied strips of cloth out of the back window.
She checked on the height and made sure the rope was firm enough. Then she stepped carefully onto the sill and tried to flee from there.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yunshen darted to her without hesitation and got Jing Xi down from the sill.
She would definitely be smashed if she slipped from such a soaring castle.
Xu Xiyan was caught in the middle of fleeing. Her plan was ruined and she was taken back.
Once she stepped onto the floor, she hit hard on the man behind her and cried, “Let go of me! Let go...”
“That’s right, Jing Xi. I’m Alice,” Alice replied.
Xu Xiyan knew that Huo Yunshen had kept Alice for a while. Since Alice was here now, it meant that Huo Yunshen must have come too.
Where was he?
“So is Huo Yunshen here too?”
Xu Xiyan looked at the two tall bodyguards beside her, and recalled the voice of the man who had caught her earlier on. It sounded so familiar...
“Jing Xi, it’s me.”
The bodyguard spoke again and looked at her with tears in his eyes.
It was indeed Huo Yunshen!
Was it a dream?
“Yunshen...”
Xu Xiyan could no longer control herself. She threw herself into his arms and held him tight.
She held him so tight, in fear of losing him in a blink, or that it was all an illusion.
“Jing Xi...”
The couple finally found each other and clung together. Xu Xiyan burst into tears after all she had suffered these past few days.
