C147

The person on the bed was dressed in a profound robe that was as black as ink and as jade-like. In the darkness of the room, his eyes were tightly shut.

Qingning's body was blocked outside the room by the threshold, unable to move at all. His mind, which had been tense for a long time, suddenly collapsed as he involuntarily cried …

That person was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking extremely familiar to her. Her entire body was covered in a layer of frost, but a faint blue light was circulating around it.

Moonlight shone through the half-open door, slanting in and enveloping him, as if isolating him from the world.

Her gaze took in every inch of his face, but it was gradually blurred by tears.

He was still alive!

He was still alive!

The thought that she was absolutely certain of, yet was constantly on the rise in her mind, was finally confirmed at this moment.

For a moment, she felt that there was nothing in this world more joyful than these four words, making her feel flustered.

Thus, the tears that she had accumulated over the years had become the only thing that she could use to vent.

Her tears fell like rain, soaking the blood in the cracks on her face, mixing with the blood that dripped from her chin onto the front of her dress.

It was like a flower blooming in water. It was so beautiful that it could captivate a person's soul, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The entire room was filled with the sound of the wind. The trembling of her shoulders was even more mournful than the branches from which countless leaves were blown, but she did not let out a single sound.

He would not know.

And no one would know that this Yue Ye, at this moment, had tears streaming down her face.

She didn't even understand why it would be so late at night. It was as if the tears that she hadn't had the time to use in both her lives were being drained away at once.

After many years, Qin Huo could not help but ask her: Why is it that no threshold is set in all the places they live?

She smiled without saying a word, recalling their memories from afar.

And today, because of this three inch tall threshold, she was separated from him.

They looked at each other from ten steps inside.

"Calamity …"

She couldn't make a sound, so she could only stretch out her hand towards that person with great difficulty.

Blood dripped from her fingers like water through a stone.

It was the first time in her life that she had experienced such joy. She stubbornly wanted to approach that person, but she couldn't move any closer to his strength.

And she did not see it, at the moment when she was powerless to hang down.

The person on the bed trembled slightly with his long eyelashes and his entire body was covered in frost. His black eyes slowly opened …

On the third day, Qingning opened his eyes that had been tightly shut for a long time.

Her phoenix eyes became slightly dim for a moment. The interior of the room was very simple, and all the furnishings seemed somewhat familiar.

The great windows were wide open, and the cold air around her was still present. The shadows of trees could still be seen outside the window, and the dazzling sunset filled the sky, making it hard for her to open her eyes.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to block it, only to see that his palm was wrapped in layers of silk. Even his face and head had been wrapped like a mummy.

With trembling hands, she slowly removed the gauze covering her hands and face. The pain was so intense that it felt as if her entire joints had been crushed and remodelled.

Her palm swiped across the obvious mottled and protruding scar on her face, but she didn't stop at all. It was as if the pain all over her body had nothing to do with her at this moment.

Calamity!

She had been in a coma for too long, so she didn't even have time to tell him about the happiness and melancholy she felt when she saw him again. Even now, she still didn't know how he was doing.

Without even wearing his shoes, he rushed out barefoot.

The sound of trees was everywhere, and the pavilion was meticulously set up.

There were no maids or servants about the room, so no one had seen such a woman running barefoot, with one leg being dragged.

Her hair covered half of her face, and the incredibly mottled blood on her face had already turned into a light purple scar.

Her footsteps suddenly stopped in her tracks, and her gaze couldn't help but fall on a few meters away under a banyan tree. A man and a woman similarly dressed in black stood facing each other.

The arrogance on the body of the Xiheng Grand Princess vanished completely, and she looked up at him like a myrtle girl.

The woman's complexion was bright and beautiful, like a pearl that was hard to find in the world.

However, his eyes were filled with undisguised admiration towards that person.

Their clothes fluttered in the wind as they intertwined with each other. Both of them had the same exalted status. Being in the same place was indeed pleasing to the eyes, even the branches and leaves were filled with impatience …

She saw that Qingning was even standing there, and the stone tiles under her feet were even scorched to death by the sunlight. She almost couldn't stand any longer and fell forward.

He didn't know why, but his heart was filled with happiness and bitterness.

The red clouds that filled the sky dyed the side of their faces the color of peach blossoms, and also caused the person's cold body to seem to completely disappear at this moment.

Not knowing what Feng Changhua said, he looked at the man with anticipation, waiting for him to respond.

"What are you standing there for?"

Qin Huo suddenly felt something and turned his deep black eyes in her direction.

At this moment, Qingning seemed to have a conditioned reflex, as he quickly hid behind the pillar of the pavilion, ahead of him was a huge pond.

There was still a wide gap between the two ends of the corridor. His reaction was so fast that she had no other way out.

The size of the pillar just happened to cover her entire body. Qingning's back was pressed tightly against the scorching pillar surface, and inch by inch, he was about to heat a layer of her flesh.

He could vaguely feel that Qin Huo was chasing after him for a few steps. His deep gaze swept behind her, but calmed down.

Other than the leaves landing on the water surface and rippling waves, there was nothing abnormal about it.

Feng Changhua, who was following closely behind, asked with a slightly puzzled tone: "Big Brother Qin, what did you say?"

He had long since ordered for no one to disturb him within the Princess Mansion, and even the dignified Grand Princess was wandering around for a few days before finding the source to enter.

How could there be anyone else here?

He pondered for a moment and said without any change in his tone, "Nothing!"

As for Qingning, who was leaning against a pillar, he held his breath with all his might, afraid that he would sense the slightest trace of her presence.

And at this moment, Qin Huo's back was facing the same pillar. The ink-colored clothes were fluttering in the air, and the palm under his sleeve had been slightly pulled back.

He remained calm and continued, "It's just a stray cat that can't be found."

Qin Huo likes cats?

A look of confusion flashed across Grand Princess's eyes, it seemed like this rule did not exist in the information collected.

However, there was no way someone else could enter this place. Wild cats, wild birds, whatever.

She didn't care much: "If you like it, I'll send someone to find you some rare species. Sometimes it is really a little kitten or dog that makes people like it!"

Qin Huo came to Xuanji City and quietly stayed in her Princess Mansion.

If it wasn't intentional, how could it have ended up like this?

However, he didn't appreciate it at all and said, "No need. It's just that I'm lost, so I have to come back!"

Feng Changhua was a little resentful. Fortunately, she already knew his temperament, and there was no need to be so calculative in this regard.

She suddenly lowered her head slightly, revealing a snow-white neck.

His hands folded uneasily in one place, and he used a tone that he had never heard from his little girl before. He asked, "Three days from now, it will be the time of my consort. Will you come?"

's body suddenly stiffened behind the pillar of light, although there were rumors that this Grand Princess of Xiheng had long since been entangled with this scourge a few years ago.

Even now, when he heard her ask so directly with his own ears, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The princess of a country who was doted upon by the Sovereign King was extraordinarily beautiful, and even the other princes of Xiheng sighed because they couldn't compare to her.

Moreover, Feng Changhua adored him this much.

Obtaining a wife like this was as easy as obtaining half of one's Xiheng.

No matter how he looked at it, disasters wouldn't go wrong at a time like this.

And the relationship between Qingning and him, had been very clear from the very beginning. It was just a transaction.

Forget about her being unknown to him right now, just her appearing in front of the two of them as Prince Rong's fiancee would definitely not change anything.

She was like a beautiful woman, a beauty who was thousands of miles away. It had never been anything to do with her, an outsider.

But why did he feel a chill in his heart?

With his breathing barely audible, Qingning suppressed the emotions in his heart that even he couldn't understand for a moment, and quietly listened to what that person had to say.

Feng Changhua waited for a long time, the expression of a spoiled daughter on her face slowly retreated. Her beautiful eyes looked around, and unconsciously, landed on his thin, frosty lips.

The setting sun's bright red color did not dissipate some of the cold from his body.

His beautiful eyes looked around, but it did not manage to cause even the slightest expression to appear on his face.

A moment later, Qin Huo spoke with her thin lips: "This king has no other intention in finding a wife until now."
