Yang Guang did not get angry because of Jin Xia's rebuttal. At first, he looked flustered, but seeing Jin Xia's decisiveness, he knew that there was no point in persuading her, but how could he bear to die? With a face full of love and pity, he propped up the rosy clouds with a hint of shame that was rarely seen as he said:
"No, I won't allow you to die!" "Since that is the case, it doesn't matter if we don't enter this palace. Since Xiu-Er enjoys peace and quiet, it is good to stay here in the courtyard. I will make this a temporary palace and give you a place to live alone.
He had never seen Yang Guang being so lenient towards anyone before, if it was anyone else, they would have already been angered.
Jin Xia's face was sorrowful. She didn't show the slightest bit of fear towards the fearful Supreme Nine Five Descendant before her as she resolutely said:
"There is no need for that. The wooden Lang is dead, and my heart is withered. From then on, I will make a final decision with Jun!"
Yang Guang did not expect the bright red glow to be so fierce. He looked slightly angry and could not help but scold:
"Do you have to be so willful? I have already endured it for a long time. Why do you have to say such words again? "I've spoiled you so much!" After he finished speaking, he flung his sleeves and started panting heavily.
In Jinxia's words, there was nothing left to live for. If Yang Guang was angered, my heart would ache. I'm afraid that such a loving woman would never be able to stay alive.
Such a stubborn personality, was the same as mine back then. It was just that my pride had long been squashed away by the imperial palace's power and scheming.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Since Your Majesty is related to Jinxia by fate, I believe Your Majesty should understand Jinxia's temperament. Moreover, she knows that it's only been an hour since Your Majesty's identity is known, and she was forced to such an extent that she might find it hard to accept. Your Majesty, please calm down and avoid her for a moment." I looked at Yang Guang and said.
Yang Guang looked at me and seemed to be moved. He snorted and was about to leave when he saw Jinxia get up and run down the stairs. She grabbed a pair of scissors to cut the flowers and put it on her neck.
"Jinxia's heart has already been decided, the Empress doesn't need to persuade me anymore. I will entrust this matter to the Empress. Jinxia's kindness will be repaid in the next life!"
"You can't!" Yang Guang and I simultaneously let out a cry. Due to the loud noise, we caused Ha'er to cry out loud.
Jinxia's beautiful eyebrows tightened as she looked into my arms with a look of endless love on her face.
"Could the queen please tell her the rules of the palace?" Yang Guang turned his head and didn't look at Jinxia. However, I could see the bitterness on his face from his side. Thinking about it, he also cherished Jinxia greatly, so I said:
"Yes, Jinxia has already given birth to a princess for the imperial family, and His Majesty has personally conferred the title of imperial concubine. Unless the Emperor bestows death upon him, otherwise, if he kills himself, nine generations of the imperial family will be killed."
When I finished speaking, my face was filled with sorrow, and my heart was filled with desolation. A woman who had been the emperor was actually unable to make a decision even in death.
The pain on Jinxia's face slowly faded with the sound of Ha'er's faint crying, and her expression became more and more indifferent. Suddenly, she let out a cold laugh, and said with a hint of ridicule:
"Then, Jinxia will definitely die."
I nodded slightly, my heart aching.
Jin Xia looked at Yang Guang with resentment in her eyes. At the corner of her eyes, there was an almost imperceptible softness, a shallow smile floated on her face, and the grief in her eyes slowly faded away. She slowly knelt on the ground, and when she looked again, she had an ice-cold expression, and said:
"Since that's the case, the only thing to do now is to escape into the void, live with the Blue Lamp, pray for the blessings of Sui Xiong, pray for the longevity of His Majesty and the Empress, pray for the safety of Sha'er, and redeem his sins!"
When I had finished, she swung the long scissors, and before I could recover, she had cut off two slashes, cutting off a head of black hair that fell like a waterfall.
His hair slowly floated down and lightly swayed in the breeze, scattering to the ground. The dark blue muslin robe was instantly covered in long hair that was cut off like ink satin, as if his heart had been torn apart into little strands. That kind of lightness, that powerlessness, all it needed was a light shake to be blown away by the wind.
"You — —" Yang Guang's face was filled with anger. He pointed at Jin Xia, but in the end, he could not say anything. He turned around and left in large strides.
I hurriedly handed her over to the servant girl, went to Jinxia's side, took the scissors from her hands, threw them away, and looked back at her sad face, lamenting in my heart, saying:
"Why do you have to suffer so much?"
As if exhausted and unable to support himself, she leaned back against the low wall at the edge of the flowerbed and said:
"My heart has already dried up and my emotions are already extinct. Compared to forcing myself to smile, being able to spend my life peacefully in front of Buddha is actually the fortune of the brocade clouds."
I sighed lightly. Jinxia was right, I didn't have her determination. If I could put aside my worldly affairs, enter an empty door, and calm my mind, then it would be better than struggling in the harem and suffering.
"It's a pity that Hal is young." I looked at Ha'er, who was in the servant girl's arms, and said lovingly.
Jinxia waved her hand and signaled the servant girl to carry her. Looking at the pair of big eyes that were rolling around, a trace of a happy smile appeared on Jinxia's face as she said:
"For Ha'er to be nurtured by the Empress is a blessing that she has accumulated over several lifetimes. In the future, she will take the title of direct descendant of the Empress, and it will be even more honorable. Just don't let her know that she has a mother like me."
I gently shook my head and said:
"No, Ha'er is too similar to you. Just look at her eyes. They are filled with the same kind of arrogance and stubbornness as you. I believe that in the future, she will also be an outstanding girl like you. She will definitely be proud of having a mother like you."
"No, it's better not to make her like me. I just hope that when she grows up, she can find a good person to have a peaceful life. "We'll have to entrust all of this to the Empress." Jin Xia's words were full of gratitude. Suddenly, she said with guilt:
"Just now when I saw the Empress come over with him, I really wanted to disappear right away. The Empress treats the Empress with such love, but I didn't expect that the Empress's husband would be taken away. How can I feel at ease with the Empress's name?" I hope that the Empress will not blame us. "The brocade clouds will be accompanied by the green lamps and ancient buddhas. They will pray for the Empress's blessings in order to atone for her sins."
Jinxia's words were sincere, but my heart was filled with bitterness. My husband? When did she ever think of me as a wife?
Ever since he said "If it weren't for Master Yuan's approval, I wouldn't have been able to tolerate you anymore." After that, I understood that there was no longer a relationship between him and me. There was only scheming.
In this case, I am not as good as Jinxia. After all, Yang Guang truly admires Jinxia. Even if the love is short, it's real.
And I, with a bitter sigh, never received his true love.
"Why are you talking about robbing? He was never mine. " I thought that I didn't care much about it, but my heart still sank.
Jin Xia raised her eyes with a hint of sadness as she said:
"I understand the Empress's grievance, but his heart is not without the Empress. In the past, whenever he listened to me playing the zither, he would always be absent-minded. His contradictory trance made me guess that there must have been another girl in his heart, and that woman was also not an ordinary person. He had not known of his identity in the past, but now he understood. Besides the Empress, what other woman in the world could possibly make him so yearn for her? Today, seeing that the Empress's relationship with him was not that close, and was even somewhat apathetic, he understood even more clearly that his conflict must have originated from the Empress. "
I sneered in my heart. Even if there really was a girl he yearned for, it wouldn't be me. However, he did not want to explain, so he just hugged her and said:
"Since you trust me so much, and entrust Bei'er to me, I will not let you down. Even if I have to risk my life, I will not let Ha'er suffer any grievances."
"In this way, the multicolored light no longer worries me, and I can return to the mortal world and wholeheartedly convert to the buddhist faith." Jinxia slowly got up, then looked at Ha, indifferently smiled, that smile, there was not even a trace of dust.
