But her hand was held by Mu Yuntian!

"Master!" Chu Yi was furious, "You still want to protect her at this time? "She doesn't take you seriously at all …"

Mu Yuntian glared at him coldly. At first, he was so scared that he shut his mouth.

"Let's go." When Mu Yuntian said these three words, his gaze just happened to fall on Bai Su's body.

His eyes were angry and patient … Most of it was regret.

He lamented. Had she still not chosen him in the end?

As she sat on the carriage back to the palace, Bai Su gazed at the scenery outside the window that was changing in the blink of an eye.

The expression in Mu Yuntian's eyes when he left never left his mind.

This time, he really left, right?

You won't come back for her, will you?

This was good as well.

But why did her heart hurt so much?

The feeling of having difficulties but being unable to say it out and allowing others to misunderstand was truly unpleasant.

It was one thing to misunderstand her at first, but now, even Mu Yuntian was disappointed in her.

Sometimes, it was really hard to protect someone.

It was a good thing that after she said those heartless words, Lin Yichen did not make it difficult for the hidden guards, but instead allowed them to leave.

Actually, Lin Yichen's goal was very clear. He wanted to keep her and not let her leave. As for the others, he had never placed them in his heart.

However, if she did not consciously say that he would stay, Lin Yichen would definitely not let her leave, and would also not let Mu Yuntian and the others off.

This was the understanding that Bai Su had towards him these past few days.

His appearance was as warm as jade, but his heart was as dark as the clouds. When it was time to be ruthless, he would absolutely not show mercy.

For some reason, Bai Su felt that this Lin Yichen was very different from the Yi Chen she knew back then.

At that time, no matter what Yi Chen did, he would have worried about her feelings at the first possible moment.

But now, this Lin Yichen had always been overbearing and forced her to do things he thought she would be happy about, but he had never once considered her feelings.

Bai Su thought, could it be that everyone who sat on the throne would use their supreme authority to do something that he could not reject?

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Yichen's gentle voice interrupted Bai Su's thoughts.

She turned around, looked at him, and said indifferently: "Do you want to ask about Emperor s too?"

It was not Yi Chen, nor was it Lin Yichen.

At this moment, her heart formed another high wall against his, cutting off the trust.

The expression in Lin Yichen's eyes changed slightly, "Xiaobai, do we have to do this? "Everything was fine before …"

"Previously, we were only fulfilling the agreement of half a month ago. We were getting along together for the sake of making the two of us feel more comfortable." Bai Su replied without thinking, "But now that the balance has been broken, I think there's no need to continue pretending."

Lin Yichen grabbed Bai Su's wrist!

"You mean, everything that happened before was just a disguise?" His eyes were filled with lament. "Little White, I never knew that disguising yourself is the only way to keep you from facing me."

Bai Su struggled for a bit, but didn't retract her hand. Staring at Lin Yichen, he said coldly: "Now that Emperor knows, does it feel boring? Do you want to let me go now? "

She admitted that she said that on purpose to anger Lin Yichen.

However, she didn't even know exactly why he did this.

Perhaps, it was because he was in a very bad mood.

Lin Yichen released her hand and looked at her eyes in pity. He asked with some hesitation, "You … In love with him, right? "

Bai Su suddenly raised her eyes.

Seeing the expression on Lin Yichen's face, he could clearly tell who the "he" was referring to.

Mu Yuntian.

He was asking her if she was falling in love with Mu Yuntian.

She wanted to answer no.

However, when she thought of how Mu Yuntian had pretended to leave, and had hidden himself within the imperial city to look for a chance to save her, she ignored his good intentions and hesitated, causing him to almost meet with danger.

Also, the look in his eyes when he left …

Disappointment was mixed with deep regret …

Her heart suddenly hurt.

It was a suffocating pain. Never before had it hurt so much.

The pain made her bend down, one hand clutching the front of her shirt tightly, wishing she could dig out her heart.

"What's wrong? Little White? " Seeing her uncomfortable look, Lin Yichen couldn't help but hold her shoulder worriedly, "Where are you hurt? "Tell me, where are you hurt?"

Because he was nervous, his voice became louder.

Bai Su panted heavily. She really wanted to tell him that she was alright.

However, the pain in her chest rendered her speechless.

The words of the black-robed person echoed in her mind nonstop — if you are willing to take the initiative, you will suffer the pain of the parasite poison devouring your heart.

So...

Her current pain was due to her treating the Gu Master … Mu Yuntian was moved?

No...

Bai Su shook her head.

He tried his best to get rid of Mu Yuntian's image from his mind.

But the more she didn't let herself think about it, the more she thought about it.

The pain made her cling to something.

Lin Yichen looked at the Bai Su who was in so much pain, and her entire heart shattered.

He hugged Bai Su tightly, holding her in his arms. As he patted her back, he comforted her, "Little White, Little White …"

After an unknown period of time, Bai Su's trembling body slowly recovered.

She curled up into a tight ball, her hands holding onto something. When she let go, she felt that her hands were sticky.

He raised his head and looked over.

"Blood …" Looking at the blood on his hands, he could not help but widen his eyes in fear. "How can there be so much blood?"

She lowered her head and looked at the place where her hand had grabbed past.

"Yi Chen?" She realized that when he was in pain just now, both of his hands had grasped at the back of Lin Yichen's hand.

She had torn the back of his hand, and it was bleeding bright red.

Just how ferocious the wound was indicated how much pain she had suffered and how mad she had been.

Lin Yichen looked at the self-reproach in Bai Su's eyes and gently patted her head: "It's fine, I'm fine. As long as you're fine. "

Bai Su took a few deep breaths and recovered from the chaos just now. She took out the Golden Sore Medicine from the Spatial Jade Ring and applied the medicine for Yi Chen as she said softly, "I will abide by the agreement they made in half a month … I hope you can comply. "

Lin Yichen accompanied her when she was in pain, allowing her to vent the pain on him.

But being moved is not love.

Bai Su was very clear that the current was no longer as deeply in love with him as she was back then.

Back at the palace.

Bai Su slowly walked forward as she said, "Now that I have returned, is Emperor still afraid that I will escape?"

Lin Yichen froze and stopped in his tracks.

Bai Su did not look at him, and walked forward alone.

Yes, the reason she said that on purpose was precisely to get rid of Lin Yichen and give herself a quiet place to do so.

Tired. Very tired.

It was really hard to be a free and easy person.

Mu Yuntian.

She hoped that he would understand that everything she had done was for his own good.
