The whole night, Mingxi stayed alone in the dark room, sitting on the carpet, immersed in sadness and self-blame.
She felt that Xue'er's death was indirectly caused by her. If she had not abandoned Xia Feng in order to be with the king, Xia Feng would not have gone astray due to jealousy and anger, and Xue'er would not have died tragically.
She felt that all tragedies happened because of her.
Because she suffered from a devil, her world has completely changed, and people around her have been affected one after another. I don’t know what kind of tragedies will continue to happen in the future.
…
It wasn't until late at night that the door was pushed open, the lights were turned on, the maid brought some food in and put it on the table, then carefully exited and closed the door.
Ming Xi closed her eyes and buried her face in her knees. The king walked in slowly and ignored Ming Xi. He went straight to the bathroom, as if turning a blind eye to her.
It wasn't until he came out of the shower and put on his black robe that he took a deep look at Ming Xi and said coldly: "Eat something and go to bed."
Ming Xi still buried her face and said nothing.
"I don't want to repeat it a second time, get up right away." The king drank all the wine in the glass and stared at Mingxi with his dark eyes, an irritated light dancing in his eyes.
Mingxi still didn't raise her face or speak.
"Get up..." The king patiently shouted again, his dark eyes had turned cold. Mingxi just hugged her legs tighter and did not stand up obediently.
"I told you to get up -"
"boom--"
With a roar, the Crystal Hotel hit the wall behind Ming Xi. Glass fragments splashed on Ming Xi, leaving a small scar on her smooth arm. A pool of blood spilled out. It was very little, but still
It hurt Mingxi’s heart.
She slowly raised her face, glared at the king with resentment, and said word by word: "I - want - to go back!"
Yes, she wants to go back, she has already thought about it.
Now that Xia Feng has turned evil and done so many evil things, and is still getting away with it, she can't sit idly by and ignore it. Xue'er has died because of her, and she can't let anyone else be harmed.
She wanted to go back and settle the matter with her own hands.
The king stood up and walked over, lifted Ming Xi's chin with his long fingers, letting her see the blazing fire in his eyes, and answered her word for word: "Listen, there is no way I can let you leave me."
"I - want - to go back!" Ming Xi repeated again, her eyes unwavering.
"Don't challenge my patience." The king's face darkened, and his dark eyes flashed with a frightening edge, but he still endured to the limit, swallowed hard, and said patiently, "You can't change it when you go back.
What, don’t overestimate yourself, you don’t have the ability to fight with others.”
"Then you go." Ming Xi stared into his eyes and said excitedly, "I don't care what method you use to catch Xia Feng and stop him from hurting anyone else. I don't want to see anyone from the Xia or Ming families again.
Something happened."
"Impossible." Your Majesty sneered, "I have already said that we will never be friends with them. Their life and death has nothing to do with me. Any consequences are their own fault and they cannot blame anyone else."
"you……"
"Don't argue with me anymore, you know it's useless. You can't change my mind, just like I can't change your stubbornness." The king picked up Ming Xi and put her on the bed, covering her cold body with a quilt.
.
"Okay, since I can't change you, then you let me go. We agreed at the beginning that if one day I want to leave, you must let me go." Ming Xi's voice was a little excited.
"You said this, but I didn't promise you." The king smiled slightly, "So it doesn't count as an agreement."
"You don't mean what you say—" Ming Xi yelled angrily and pulled away the quilt angrily.
"I didn't promise you anything..."
"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you -" Ming Xi cried angrily, "How long are you going to lock me up? If something happens to my family, you won't let me go. I really can't stand your selfishness and tyranny. ,I can not stand you--"
The king's brows furrowed. Looking at the hysterical Ming Xi, his patience was gone. He turned around and strode out of the room, slamming the door.
After walking out of the door, the king ordered the maid: "No matter what method you use, persuade the queen to eat the food."
"yes."
…
The sound of the door slamming shut shocked Ming Xi's heart. She was angry and helpless. She found that her persistence and principles were useless in front of the king. She could not reason with him or communicate with him because he always had his own problems. She had a set of thoughts and couldn't listen to anything she said.
Now, she has gradually turned into a little woman who loves to be playful and mischievous. She is often made angry by him and bursts into tears. She is even at a loss because she has no way to deal with him.
Mingxi really felt helpless and aggrieved. She didn't know how to make him move and let him go.
She didn't plan to leave him forever, she just wanted to go back and see if she could do anything, and she also wanted to go to poor Xueer's grave to say sorry. Why couldn't he even give him such a little freedom?
She really couldn't understand it.
"Hey -" the door was gently pushed open, and a young waitress walked in slowly, bowed respectfully to Mingxi, and said cautiously, "Queen, you didn't have a meal tonight, so you might as well have some."
"Get out." Ming Xi turned her face, not wanting the waitress to see the tears on her face.
"Queen, if you don't eat and are starving, won't you be able to go home?" the waitress persuaded in a low voice.
Ming Xi's heart trembled, yes, if I was sick, how could I fight with him and get him to let me go? Thinking of this, Ming Xi couldn't help but look up at this waitress, she was new, she didn't Saw it.
"When did you get transferred here?" Ming Xi got out of bed, and the maid immediately picked up a robe and put it on her, and said earnestly, "Back to the queen, I was transferred here just now."
"Just now? What about Xiaoyun who served me before?" Ming Xi felt strange, why did she suddenly change her person?
"She was sentenced to death by the king." The maid replied quietly.
"Death?" Ming Xi's eyes widened in shock.
"Because she didn't take good care of the queen and let some things get in that you shouldn't see, so..."
"You mean those two newspapers?" Ming Xi's face was ashen, "It turns out that he didn't want me to know about this, so he kept the news sealed. Unexpectedly, because of Xiaoyun's negligence, he let me see it, so he published all the crimes. He blamed Xiaoyun and actually sent her to death. What is his heart made of? Why is he so cruel and vicious?"
"Queen, are you talking about the king? This is our dark night rule. You can't blame him." This new maid is different from other maids. She seems to be very courageous and dares to say it in front of Ming Xi. She talks so much, and always has an eager smile on her lips, looking very flattering, but Ming Xi always feels something is strange, and she doesn't know why.
