The cold voices of the two followers came from behind, like sharp edges piercing Xia Xue's body, which made her hair stand on end. She could feel how sharp the eyes of the two followers behind their sunglasses were. Before coming, she had promised them,
She just sat in the hall for a while, chatted with Long Lin and then went back. But in this situation, Long Lin would definitely not let her go back so early. This was what she wanted.
"By the way, Your Highness Lin, I should go back..." Xia Xue covered her forehead haggardly.
"Xue'er, in this palace, it's not only Long Yi who can protect you, but also me, Long Lin. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you. No one can control your freedom." Long Lin took advantage of the situation and hugged Xia Xue.
In his arms, he raised his eyes to look at the two tall attendants and said with great awe, "You go back and report to Her Majesty the Queen that Miss Xia is not feeling well and needs to stay in Lingfeng Hall to rest. If you have any questions, just come to her directly."
I."
"Your Highness Lin..."
"What? What I said was not an order?" Long Lin interrupted his followers and stared at them coldly.
Long Lin knew that they were Her Majesty the Queen's personal followers, and also knew that Xia Xue was imprisoned in disguise. Since Long Yi was arrested, Xia Xue's safety has become a problem, but as long as Long Lin is around, he will let her
Xia Xue suffered any harm.
"Yes." The two followers looked at each other, and finally left Lingfeng Palace helplessly. No matter whose followers they were, they were only followers after all. They did not dare to openly oppose His Highness the Prince. Now they can only report this matter to Her Majesty the Queen as soon as possible.
, it’s up to her to decide.
"Your Highness Lin, thank you!" Xia Xue looked at Long Lin gratefully. Even though she knew her relationship with Long Yi, even though Long Xiao's misfortune was related to Long Yi, Long Lin was still as good to her as before, without any change.
This is really, really rare.
"Xue'er, never say these three words to me. I am willing to be good to you. Let's go upstairs and rest."
Long Lin considerately helped Xia Xue go upstairs, up the spiral staircase, to the corridor on the second floor, and walked straight to the room next to his dormitory, which was the room where Xia Xue had just come to the palace.
Opening the door and looking at the unchanged room, Xia Xue couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She didn't expect Long Lin to be so thoughtful. Everything in this room remained as it was when she left. The sheets were the same as before, and the crystals on the table were still the same.
Fresh purple roses in a vase…
"How do you know I like purple roses?" Xia Xue walked to the window, raised her hand and gently touched the delicate rose petals, as if they had just been picked from the rose garden, they were very fresh, and there were crystal clear dewdrops on the petals.
"As long as you are careful, you can discover anything." Long Lin replied softly, opened the curtains, pointed out the window, and said gently to Xia Xue, "Xue'er, look."
"What..." Xia Xue raised her eyes and couldn't help but be stunned. The gardens of Lingfeng Palace were all planted with purple roses. The original delicate and exotic flowers and plants were removed and replaced by delicate purple roses everywhere.
Roses flutter in the wind in the drizzle, exuding a faint fragrance...
"When did this happen?" Xia Xue couldn't look away, feeling uneasy in her heart.
"Since you left Lingfeng Palace, I have started to arrange the work, asking the gardeners to eradicate all the original flowers and plants, and transplant the best varieties of purple roses. I hope that one day you can come back here and see it at a glance. I hope that these beautiful flowers will be transplanted."
The purple rose can keep you, and what Longyi can give you, I can also..."
Long Lin's affectionate gaze fell on Xia Xue's face, and she couldn't help but raise her hand. Her slender palm gently stroked her long velvety hair. His slender hand slipped from her soft hair, but she seemed to have a thousand thoughts in her heart.
She was so entangled that she couldn't completely break away. He thought that he would never be able to let her go in this life.
"Your Highness Ling..." Xia Xue lowered her eyes guiltily. She wanted to tell him that she and him could only be friends forever, and the person she loved would always be Long Yi, but she hesitated to speak and was unable to speak.
She couldn't bear to hurt him again. During this period, so many big things happened around them. In fact, she didn't need to tell her. Long Lin already knew how far Xia Xue and Long Yi had developed, but his devotion still existed to this day, and even
Doing so much for her proves that he is indeed deeply moved by her.
"Xue'er... if... I mean if, if one day, Long Yi is gone, will you choose me?" Long Lin's sudden words, although his voice was low, struck Xia Xue's heart like a thunderbolt from the blue.
She raised her head suddenly, looked at him in astonishment, and said in fear, "Why would you say such a thing? How could Yi not be there? How is that possible?"
Long Lin smiled slightly, turned around and sat on the sofa, and said melancholy: "This palace now is like a trap with all the traps. Whoever falls into it will have a hard time getting out. My father is like this, and my elder brother is like this..."
"Your Highness Lin, in my heart, you have always been a strong and unyielding person, and you should not be so negative." Xia Xue sat next to Long Lin and said solemnly, "Maybe the current situation does not look optimistic, but I firmly believe that
, as long as we work hard, we will be able to protect the people we care about. You can eventually rescue the prince, and I can also rescue Yi..."
"Xue'er..." Long Lin tilted his head and looked at her deeply, "You are too naive. There are many things in this world that cannot be achieved with a firm belief. Long Yi's current situation,
It's like one foot has stepped into the gate of hell, and you can't save him..."
Before hearing the recording, Long Lin had no such idea. When he knew the truth, he completely lost confidence and became depressed and negative. He understood the Queen's ability, and he believed that no one in this world could defeat her.
Pass her.
What's more, everything is almost a foregone conclusion now.
"Why did you say that? This is not like you." Xia Xue began to feel uneasy. Long Lin must have known some truth to become so negative. Is that truth so terrible?
"Maybe I was too conceited before, but now that I think about it, I am actually nothing. If I could choose again, I would rather not be a prince, but just an ordinary person."
Long Lin lowered his eyes, covered his forehead, and spoke in a very low voice. He still couldn't get out of that terrible nightmare. He couldn't believe that the biological mother he had always admired turned out to be such a terrifying devil. If the murderer were anyone else,
He doesn't feel afraid, but why is it the mother who gave birth to him and raised him? He feels that his life comes from sin.
