Late at night, being locked in the king's arms, Ming Xi couldn't sleep. His body was always so hot. If he got too close, he would be burned to the point of leaving no bones.
He didn't touch her anymore, he just gave her good medicine, re-bandaged the wound, took her back to the room, force-fed her porridge, and then locked her in his arms.
His eyes were closed, but she knew that he was not sleeping.
The night is so quiet, so quiet that you can hear each other's heartbeats and breathing. However, this feeling will no longer be sweet and happy, let alone affectionate and lingering. It is the calmness after being numb from pain and tired from hate...
I don't know how long it took, but the king suddenly spoke, his voice as low as a sigh: "Tomorrow, I will take you to Haicheng."
As if something suddenly touched her soul, Mingxi opened her eyes and looked at him blankly. Is this a compromise? Was it the compromise she obtained by committing suicide in an extreme way?
"But... you can only stay for one day. I will pick you up tomorrow night." The king's eyes slowly opened, and there were unreal emotions floating in them, which were faint and a little dim.
Ming Xi lowered her eyes and said nothing. What else could she say? This was already his greatest limit, the last gift. Asking for anything more would be in vain.
Seeing Ming Xi's expression calm down, a touch of relief finally appeared in the king's eyes. Perhaps, sometimes, she really should learn to make appropriate concessions. As long as she is good, it doesn't matter even if it is a temporary compromise.
After leaving for two days, the King spent a lot of effort to intercept the information leaked by the female undercover agent and silenced the officer who received the information. The problem was temporarily solved, but the King did not rule out whether the officer had sent the information to other detectives, so
Leng Qin was left to continue investigating in the imperial city, but he came back early because he was worried about Ming Xi.
Seeing Ming Xi hysterical and grief-stricken, the king felt very distressed and finally agreed to let her go back to Haicheng. Although this was a bit risky, he was willing to do anything as long as her mood could calm down.
"My child, what are your plans?" Mingxi's voice was weak and uneasy. She was afraid that he would tell her an answer that would hurt her.
"Do you really want this child? What if he..."
"Yes." Ming Xi interrupted the king's words, raised her eyes and looked at him firmly and said, "He is my child, and I will keep him no matter what. If you don't want it, let me bear it alone, but
You can't touch him."
"How can you bear it?" The king frowned and stared at Ming Xi sharply.
"Let me go and I will live alone with my child. I can promise not to marry for the rest of my life, as long as I raise him alone..."
"You will never marry?" The king's lips curved slightly, "Do you think I forced you to stay with me just out of possessiveness?"
"Otherwise, what is it?" Ming Xi smiled sadly, "If you say it's because of love, I will think it's false, because I can no longer find the feeling of love in you, and you don't understand what love is at all."
"Then tell me, what is love?" The king held Mingxi's face with one hand and looked at her deeply.
"Love is a strong attachment, selfless, and dedicated emotion. What have you achieved?" Ming Xi chuckled sarcastically...
"Are you attached to me? What you are most attached to is your status and power. Are you selfless to me? In order to satisfy your own selfish desires, you can torture me, imprison me, and control me regardless of my feelings. Are you single-minded? You
I have a complicated relationship with Leng Qin that I can’t figure out. Whether it’s lust or something else, it’s a blasphemy against love..."
"You think I don't love you?" The king's eyelashes flickered.
"Maybe... you have never loved me." Ming Xi's tears slipped down unknowingly, "There is a kind of love called letting go, do you understand? If you really love someone, you will want her to be happy."
"I can give you anything, but you have to struggle with it. Why can't you be obedient and stay with me?" The king still couldn't understand Ming Xi's thoughts, "You use those ridiculous justice and kindness to restrain yourself.
, by making yourself unhappy, you are simply asking for trouble."
"You can never understand my thoughts, just like I can never agree with your world." Mingxi sighed helplessly.
"Even if you leave me, will you definitely be happy? Two years ago, I gave you the chance to leave, but you are still unhappy. You once said that you like to be with me, but you forgot."
In one sentence, the two of them unknowingly remembered the beautiful time they spent in Haicheng for a few months. At that time, they loved freely without any restraints. That feeling was really good. It was at that time
, Mingxi said that she liked being with him. At that time, they really loved each other. Unfortunately, this feeling can never be found again.
"Maybe I won't necessarily be happy, but at least I will be calm. I won't never see the light of day and live in a dark world like now. I don't want my child to follow your old path in the future and let him become the same.
A killer who kills people like crazy, undergoes the same horrific and cruel training as those children in Yilong Castle..." Ming Xi glared at the king sharply.
"I won't let this happen." The king interrupted Ming Xi and said decisively.
"Then what are you going to do? As long as you are still the king of the dark night and we are the only ones living in the dark night, this kind of thing is unavoidable, right? The only way is to let me go and let my child and I leave the dark night." Ming Xi looked at the king from the eyes.
I saw a hint of wavering, he had feelings for the child.
"Give me some time, I will deal with it." The king's heart couldn't help but tighten. In the past two days, he thought a lot. He remembered the scene when Mingxi had a miscarriage last time. It was a complete collapse and absolute. That poor child was still alive.
Killing her before she was in human form, he would never let that happen again.
He has decided to keep this child.
Ming Xi didn't speak anymore and was silent for a long time. She suddenly said sadly: "If... you are not the king of the dark night, but an ordinary person, then at this moment, we should be very happy instead of being so painful and entangled."
"It's the dark night you don't like, not me. You still love me." The king held Ming Xi in his arms and kissed her cheek tenderly.
"Yes, I don't like the dark night. I can't adapt to this dark country, and I will never be able to adapt. If your identity is destined to be unable to change, please let me go, let me go..." Ming Xi cried in his arms.
She cried and whispered, her tears soaked his chest and his heart.
The king was silent, and the atmosphere was very quiet. The unique aura on his body hypnotized Mingxi. Gradually, Mingxi fell asleep tiredly, and her hands subconsciously hugged his strong waist.
The King stared deeply at Ming Xi in his arms, gently arranging her messy long hair. A thought came to his mind, if I were not the King of Dark Night, wouldn't we be in such pain?
