Arriving at the destination, everything was just as Dongfang Xuxiao guessed: the building was empty.
Standing in the courtyard, feeling the desolation and silence around her, Hong Ling was filled with hatred and couldn't find an outlet for a while, and a vague aura of hostility emanated from her whole body.
Staring at Hong Ling's tense face, Dongfang Xuxiao chose to guard her silently.
Hong Ling suddenly flicked her leg and landed on the roof.
The silvery white light falls quietly on the red damask shadow, giving it an extremely cold illusion.
Dongfang Xuxiao raised his head, looking at the person who was so close yet so far away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Hong Ling lifted up her skirt and sat on the tiles. Her eyes were far and wide, and she didn't know what she was thinking about at the moment.
After a long time, Dongfang Xuxiao flew up and landed beside Hong Ling: "What do you plan to do next?"
Hong Ling shook her head gently: "I don't know!"
Hong Ling suddenly felt a little confused about the way to go in the future. She didn't know what her next step should be. She didn't know if she could really be so ruthless, regardless of life or death.
Hong Ling's entire body fell into a state of panic!
From the emotion on Hong Ling's face, Dongfang Xuxiao could probably guess something: "Whether you want to return to the palace, or..."
"Hong Ling will not return to the palace!" Before Dongfang Xuxiao could finish speaking, Hong Ling interrupted coldly.
Her excessive reaction made Dongfang Xuxiao smile bitterly, but it also made him understand that she could not let go of the person in her heart after all.
Dongfang Xuxiao sat down next to Hong Ling and looked at the white moonlight: "I know that everyone has a soft place in their heart that they don't want others to touch..." From the corner of his eye, he was always watching Hong Ling.
His expression changed: "...But avoiding can't solve anything, let alone a solution; only by facing it bravely can everything be solved!"
Hong Ling's eyelids drooped slightly, and she did not interrupt Dongfang Xuxiao's words, nor did she express any opinions on what he said.
Seeing that Hong Ling was silent for a long time, Dongfang Xuxiao turned to her and said bluntly: "I don't know what are you avoiding? Or are you afraid of something? But I know that you still care about that person in your heart; since you care, then
Go back to the palace..." The corners of Dongfang Xuxiao's lips raised an encouraging smile: "...even if he doesn't accept your kindness, you can still feel guilty in the future; it's better than that. After something happens to him, you will spend every day.
It's better to live in self-blame!" Dongfang Xuxiao finished speaking in one breath, regardless of whether Hong Ling could hear it or not.
Hong Ling looked back at Dongfang Xuxiao, her eyes turbulent, as if she was digesting what he just said.
Dongfang Xuxiao was patient and gave her time to accept it slowly.
"Do you want to know the past between Hong Ling and Brother Yiyi?" Hong Ling said suddenly.
Suppressing the sadness in his heart, Dongfang Xuxiao raised a forced smile: "Say it!"
Hong Ling raised her eyes and looked at the starry night sky, her thoughts going back to a long, long time ago: "The first time I met Brother Yiyi, when Hong Ling was still the little princess of Qiliang Kingdom who was loved by thousands of people..."
Dongfang Xuxiao listened quietly, Hong Ling felt sad and happy every time!
When she was happy, he couldn't help but be happy for her; when she was hurt, he couldn't help but feel sad for her!
In Hong Ling's sad voice, Dongfang Xuxiao knew everything about her past!
Regarding the harm that Yiyi, Ziyi and others had caused to her, Dongfang Xuxiao had the urge to 'send' away from this world all those who had harmed her.
After talking about everything, Hong Ling looked back at Dongfang Xuxiao and smiled sadly: "He is so cruel to Hong Ling, but Hong Ling can't help but worry about his safety; do you think Hong Ling is very/jian?"
"
"Don't belittle yourself like this!" Dongfang Xuxiao frowned, with a sincere expression: "You are too kind, and... you love him too much!"
"Love?" Hong Ling laughed at herself: "For him, I'm afraid Hong Ling's love is worthless!"
"Hong Ling..." Dongfang Xuxiao didn't know how to heal the scars in her heart at this moment.
If they could meet each other sooner, maybe she wouldn't be scarred today!
"Now, do you still think Hong Ling should return to the palace?" A soft murmur escaped from her lips.
"..." If possible, Dongfang Xuxiao doesn't want her to return to the palace again and suffer such inhuman harm; but Dongfang Xuxiao doesn't want her to live in trouble and regret every day of her future life: "
...I still hope that you can return to the palace; just think of it as an explanation for yourself and the past!"
Hong Ling never expected to hear such remarks from Dongfang Xuxiao.
The corners of Dongfang Xuxiao's lips were slightly raised, and there was a look of endearment in his eyes: "What? Are you surprised that I would say this?"
Hong Ling nodded slightly.
"I just don't want you to leave regrets in your life!" Subconsciously reaching out and stroking the red silk-colored hair: "You are still young, and what is waiting for you should be a future full of beauty and hope; not regrets and regrets.
!”
Hong Ling was slightly stunned and stared at the movements of Dongfang Xuxiao's hands in amazement.
Sensing Hong Ling's gaze, Dongfang Xu Xiaosan retracted his palm: "Don't get me wrong, I just..."
"Hong Ling knows, you want to comfort Hong Ling!" Hong Ling spoke before Dongfang Xuxiao finished explaining.
"..." Dongfang Xuxiao said nothing, acquiescing to what Hong Ling said.
Hong Ling suddenly closed her eyelids and took a deep breath; it was as if all the troubles in her heart were solved at this moment.
Looking at Hong Ling's relieved expression, Dongfang Xuxiao smiled knowingly: "On the day of the birthday party, I will accompany you into the palace, so we can take care of each other!"
"..." Hong Ling slowly opened her eyelids without saying a word, acquiescing to what Dongfang Xuxiao said.
Hong Ling's acquiescence made Dongfang Xuxiao feel a little excited: "After going to the palace, I will accompany you to find the person who killed your child!"
Staring at Dongfang Xuxiao's face, Hong Ling was a little confused: "Hong Ling used to be so cruel to you, why are you still thinking about Hong Ling now?"
Dongfang Xuxiao said after careful consideration: "In any case, we can be considered friends now!"
"Friend?" Hong Ling chewed these two words lightly.
For Hong Ling, who lives in the palace all year round, there are only three kinds of people around her; one is relatives! One is enemies! The other is servants! But she has no friends!
When Hong Ling suddenly heard these two words, she didn’t know how to react!
Dongfang Xuxiao looked slightly hurt: "Are we not even friends to this day?"
"Don't get me wrong!" Hong Ling's voice contained a touch of eagerness that could not be concealed: "For Hong Ling, who has lived in the palace all year round, the word friend is too unfamiliar, so..."
Hearing Hong Ling's explanation, Dongfang Xuxiao smiled happily and stood up gracefully: "There are still a few days left, enough for us to be fully prepared!" He stretched out his palm to Hong Ling and said with a smile: "Now, let's go back and recharge our batteries first;
We will be busy after tomorrow!"
After staring at Dongfang Xuxiao for a moment, Hong Ling lifted up the catkin and put it into his palm, smiling back: "I listen to you!"
