Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she could only remain calm, "Let's not talk about the past anymore."

Some people started whispering, saying that Jing Xuan was the number one beauty of the fox race. Before, she was pestering Jing Xuan, but now, she had married the emperor and didn't even put him in her eyes. She really was a vicious woman, no wonder she was called a slut.

She couldn't help but look at him with a wry smile. She suddenly realized that her words were too hurtful. He thought that she would be very disappointed if she were still Lunar Mark.

This was good as well. Originally, she shouldn't have given him any hope. Even if Lunar Silk Smoke had a relationship with him before, now it could only end quickly.

She really couldn't stay at this welcoming banquet any longer, so she found an excuse to go out and take a breather.

She still had some value to Yue Wuxiu, so he probably wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

Everyone was looking at her strangely. She was already troubled by the incident with Qiu Xuan, but she did not expect Shang Moxue to interfere. She was afraid to look at him, as if she wanted to eat her alive.

It was not early anymore, and the moon was high in the sky. Due to safety considerations, she did not go far.

An ancient banyan tree in front of her attracted her attention. Such a large tree in a place like the Demonic World should have been around for thousands of years; it should have already cultivated to the Exquisite Spirit Realm.

For some reason, she couldn't help but walk over and gently caress the tree trunk. She didn't know where she came into contact with, but a small, dark crevice suddenly appeared.

Eh? There was also a mechanism. Curious, she reached her hand in and took out the item inside. It was actually a small purse. However, on the tip of the purse, there was the word "Looking" embroidered on golden threads.

The Dreamscape Pavilion. She couldn't help but think of that man with sadness between his brows. She was curious as to why there was such a thing hidden in the tree. Suddenly, a voice filled with despair came from behind her.

"Smoke, I knew you wouldn't so cruelly forget our past. Even if you marry the Monarch, you still have me in your heart, right?"

When she turned around, she actually saw the man at the banquet. His name was Ji Xuan, and he was the lover of Lunar Silk.

She took a step back and shook her head. "I think I made it clear at the banquet that it was all in the past."

"No, I don't believe it. Smoke, clearly, we loved each other so much before, and you must have been forced to marry a Monarch." His voice was obviously filled with the smell of alcohol, and as he got closer, his handsome face was also flushed, he must have drank too much, but it was also because he drank too much that he would spit out the truth. Otherwise, with their current status, he would definitely not say something like that.

"It's not what you think. Forget it, just treat me as a bad woman and forget about me." Ji Xi'er didn't want to tell him more, and she was worried that someone might see something like this. If word got out, it would affect her greatly.

She wanted to leave, but Jing Xuan blocked her way. His voice was filled with heart-tearing pain. "Chi Yan, I know I'm wrong. You must still be angry at me, right? That day, I did not know why I drank so much. When I woke up the next day, Yue Liushuang was sleeping by my side, and I really did not know what was going on. You must believe me, I only love you. "

Ji Xi'er became interested at his words. He even had something to do with Yue Liushuang.

With her intelligence, she quickly figured out what was going on.

Prior to this, Lunar Silk and Qiu Xuan had been in love with each other, and Yue Liushuang had interjected from the middle with a kick. Qiu Xuan had viewed her disdainfully, so Yue Liushuang had purposely drunk him and then slept by his side, causing him to misunderstand and try to break them apart.

Who would have thought that there would be such a man who truly loved her?

However, she knew that it was impossible for her to have any sort of relationship with him, so she intentionally lowered her expression.

"You still dare to say that I only want unique feelings? Since something like this has already happened between you and my sister, don't look for me anymore."

"No, Smoke, don't leave me. I was too weak back then. If I could abandon my status and take you far away, this wouldn't have happened. That day, when you left while crying, the news of you marrying a Monarch arrived not long after. Do you know how much pain I was in? I really want to go and find you, but my mother is locked up at home and even scolded me for having to marry Yue Liushuang. You're the only one I like, how could I possibly marry her. " After that, she actually went to the imperial city. He felt very glad and at peace. He really wanted to go and find her, but the imperial city was not a place he could go to.

"I think you should know that I have a bad reputation in the demon realm. If you stay with me, you will also be ridiculed by everyone." Didn't these people care a lot about their dignity? He should have some scruples when he said that.

"I know that it is not true. It is only a scheme that Yueliu Shuang plotted against you. Even if it is true, it is still my fault. I did not protect you well."

He had already regretted it once. He would never regret it again. He did not want to let go of her.

"Hey, let go of me!" Ji Shi'er tried her best to struggle free. At first, she felt pity for him, but after hearing his words, she felt pity for him. If he was brave enough, Smoke Moon might not have died. In the end, he was still too weak. Since he knew so much, how could he allow Yue Liushuang and the people in this palace to hurt her? What a useless man.

The pitiful person must have something to hate. He shouldn't cherish it when he has it, and would regret it if it was lost. However, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

"I've been thinking that if you can come back, I'll definitely keep you by my side no matter what. I'm willing to give up everything for you, as long as you can give me this chance."

"Let me go." "If you don't let go of me, I'll call someone over. Let me tell you, the person I like right now is the Monarch, I've already forgotten about you. I don't like you anymore."

Qiu Xuan's sudden roar scared her out of her wits.

"I don't believe it!" "You said that you don't like me, but you came under the banyan tree where we made love and took my token of love."

Under the faint moonlight, the golden thread that was embroidered into the character "longing" emitted a faint glow.

He tore the scented sachet from his waist and brought it in front of her. The word "Smoke" was embroidered on the sachet.

Ji Xiu-Er was stunned. She thought to herself, "I'm so lucky. I just touched the tree. But, she really didn't do it on purpose."

She never thought that they would have such a token of love. They must have a deep affection for each other. Seeing how much pain Jing Xuan was in, she felt her heart soften.

In the moonlight, she could see the flash of tears in his eyes.

"You personally embroidered this pair of scented sachet, one for me and one for you. We agreed to stay together for the rest of our lives, never to separate. But, why is fate so funny?"

She tried to persuade him gently, "Qiu Xuan, even if we really did love each other, it's already over. You can still have a better woman. Now, I'm also married. It's fate that makes no difference."

"After you left, I asked Yue Liushuang about your whereabouts. She said that you had suffered greatly after marrying into the Imperial Palace, and that it was impossible for the Monarch to treat you well, or even be in danger of losing his life."

So, did he really want to break down and bring her away just now? Ji Si`er suddenly realized that she misunderstood him. He thought that it was because he felt wronged and wronged in the palace that he was so nervous and excited.

"You misunderstood. It's not like what she said. The Monarch treats me very well. Big sister must be lying to you."

"Chiyan, you're always so strong. You've always swallowed all of your suffering and you've never said anything to me. But do you really think I don't know anything? I am your cousin. I once heard from my father about the King's betrayal and rebellion, how could the Monarch not know about this? As a princess of the fox race, how could he possibly treat you sincerely?

Ji Shi'er didn't know how to explain it to him, because to her, he was still a stranger. She couldn't possibly say too much to him, but if she didn't say it, she couldn't bear to see him like this. Furthermore, if she didn't say it clearly, he wouldn't let her go.

An idea came to her mind, and she came up with a brilliant plan.

"I think you should know that the reason why I endured so much was all for my mother. Right now, she is still imprisoned in the palace and it is unknown whether she is dead or alive, as her daughter, how could she bear to see her mother suffer so much? I married my father because he wanted me to, no matter what, I was forced by my own will."

"You … you're talking about an imperial concubine?" Didn't she die long ago? "

Ji Shi'er was secretly shocked. Heavens, could it be that the rumors say that she was already dead? This Yue Wuxiu was too vicious. No matter what, she was a woman who had given birth to a child for him. If it weren't for the fact that Yue Liushuang told her about it, no one would have known about it.

"No, she was imprisoned in the palace by royal father. I don't know where she is, nor can I find her, but she must still be alive."

Perhaps, she could use this relationship to find her mother.
