"He is indeed the most affectionate and considerate man in this world, but... that's just in front of you. He is my husband, but he is just a husband, that's all. He will give me the dignity and majesty of a housekeeper in front of outsiders. If we don't expect it, we can be the most respectful couple in this world, but... in the end, even such a relationship has become a luxury."

The unwillingness and sadness on Cao Qianqian's face could no longer be locked up and flowed out bit by bit.

Xie Luanyin frowned and said, "This is your own choice." Since he made the choice, he was sowing the cause. He should bear the consequences of all kinds of results. Regrets and resentment are just the actions of the weak.

"It's my choice, and I have never regretted my choice. Even today, I have never given up. The road under my feet will eventually depend on myself to get out." Cao Qianqian is really different from before. She used to be like wrapped in layers of cotton cloth, soft and wide. Now, she is a sword out of the sheath, with a sharp blade, moving forward bravely, not caring whether it will cut others or herself.

"Since that's the case, you shouldn't have attracted me here." Xie Luan's eyes were slightly darker because of the darkened edges.

"I don't want to, but I have no choice. He already knows that even if he doesn't agree, he will think of his own. But if I help him, he promised me. We have been married for so many years. I want to have a child, and the Prince Yu Mansion needs a prince, so... I can only let you down, A Luan!"

Since everything has been said, Cao Qianqian no longer embellishes peace. Now that things are so ugly, she can be calm.

Xie Luanyin sneered, "I really didn't expect that you would trade such a thing. You couple are really... ridiculous."

"Of course you can laugh at me, because you are not me, and you don't know what kind of life I live. In his heart, I will never be able to compare with you, but he would rather have the substitute than ask me for it. I can tolerate it until now, what do you think is for?"

"You are not afraid. Help him keep me, he will not see you even more in his eyes?" Xie Luan retorted sharply.

"A Luan! We grew up together, I know you! It's impossible between you and him." Cao Qianqian's tone was firm and firm, "If he could wake up soon, it would be a good thing."

After saying that, Cao Qianqian had slowly stood up, turned around, and walked out.

"Qianqian." Xie Luanyin shouted softly.

Cao Qianqian stopped but did not look back.

"After today, you and me are really irrelevant, and they are not owed each other." The calm tone of voice was gone, no ups and downs.

Perhaps, they should have admitted that they have already embarked on different paths as they are now, traveling against each other, gradually moving away.

No one turned around, Cao Qianqian stood there, and finally took a step, step by step, walked out of the Main Hall.

Under the sunlight, a shadow appeared on the smooth ground of the hall.

Xie Luan seemed to be missing, but she folded her hands together and knelt in front of the Buddha statue, in the same posture as Cao Qianqian when she was just now.

The master of the shadow walked into the hall step by step and stood behind Xie Luanyin, as if looking at her back. After a while, he whispered, "A Luan?"

In that sound, there was uncertain expectation and a little nervousness.

Xie Luanyin opened his eyes calmly, stood up, turned his head, raised his eyes of the ancient well without waves, and looked at the person who came, "Long time no see, Your Highness, King Yu."

At the same time, Li Yong finally saw the face in front of him, and his expression was excited, "It's really you. Before that, I really couldn't believe you would come back. I thought we would never see each other again in this life. But it's great, it's great to see you standing in front of me so safely..." Li Yong was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

Xie Luanyin just smiled faintly. From the day she left, she swore to herself that she would definitely come back one day. She had known that one day she would meet these old friends in the past one day, but she had never expected what situation and attitude she had.

"I have always owe your highness a thank you for so many years." Xie Luanyin said, and he had already bowed his knees to Li Yong. "Thank you for your protection back then, so that A Luan escaped. Thank you for your keeping your mouth so hard that A Luan has today."

"A Luan! I was already very guilty of not being able to protect you that day. There is only so much I can do for you. If you still want to say thank you, Bento will be really apart from me."

"I didn't want to disturb anyone when I came back, but I didn't want to meet your highness again and your princess and your old friends. Since that's the case, being able to thank Your Highness in person can be considered a wish to fulfill my wish. There is another thing that has been doubting in my heart for many years. Since I saw you, I want to ask the previous question."

Li Yong was so happy to be able to meet Xie Luan again. He heard this and said kindly, "A Luan just ask."

"That day, my mother and elder brother were taken to the execution ground. Why did they suddenly commit suicide by taking poison?" Xie Luanyin asked while paying attention to Li Yong's face. Sure enough, she saw his face changing instantly, and her eyes couldn't help but dim. Sure enough...

"I can't let go of it for such a long time, and so many days and nights are enough to make me think about the doubts in my heart countless times and imagine countless possibilities. Some things I can't figure out. I'm already taking to the execution ground, why do I have to commit suicide by taking poison in the middle of the journey? Too much, isn't it? Besides, my mother has always been willing to ask His Majesty in person, and he has a little guilty and a little uneasy in his heart to my Duke Dingguo Mansion and the Xie clan. Even if I can't ask His Majesty in person, with my mother's tenacious temperament, even if it's already a desperate situation, she will only face it openly and will never choose to commit suicide. Besides, where did the poison come from?"

"After thinking about it, there is only one possibility. Someone told them that we would come to rob the Dharma field that day, and Your Majesty had already set up a net of heaven and earth, waiting for us to come and throw it into the net. In order not to implicate us, therefore, my mother and elder brother chose that dead end. The poison was naturally given to that person. Who was that person? In fact, there were not many people who care about the life and death of people among us, and who could easily enter and leave the prison. What do you think? Your Highness?"

When I looked back, a pair of clear and lush almond eyes looked at Li Yong, and I couldn't see the joy and anger, but it was the clear and bright scenery deep in my memory.
