Neither of the two people spoke, they both stood there quietly.
Ye Fan could even feel Sima Xichen's anger flowing invisible in the air, making her breathless and suppressing her desire to escape immediately.
She could imagine how Sima Xichen was suppressing his anger when he approached her. When he saw her, he thought of the tragic ending of his parents. He could talk to her peacefully, even if it was just a lie, he had to let her thank him.
Embarrass her.
He was just simply deceiving her. He didn't even take away her virginity so that she could still remain a daughter. Even though he was disdainful, she had to thank him. Although he hated her, he did not insult her.
This made her feel grateful.
Therefore, at this time, she was full of guilt. It was her father who exposed the traces of his parents, causing his parents to fall into the hands of a vicious woman like Gao Feng, a woman who even her own father was afraid of.
Now one is frozen in thousands of years of ice, and the other has his internal organs removed and made into a specimen, kneeling on the ground.
Sima Xichen hates her, that's right.
"Miss Ye, can you please disappear from my sight for a while?" Sima Xichen's suppressed voice came from the front, and the sadness could not be concealed. "I don't want to blame you, but when I see you, I always feel sad.
I can't help but think about my parents, so I want to be alone for a while."
His voice was at least polite, but also had a distance that chilled Ye Fan.
Even if he doesn't want to hurt her or retaliate against her, he can only say that in this life, they can only be strangers who care about each other without words, and they will never be close lovers. In fact, she is not a pawn in his eyes, and he doesn't even bother to care about her.
Using her as a chess piece, he only had an unconcealable resentment towards her.
Ye Fan left quietly. In this isolated space, she felt her redundancy. She was so redundant in this man's life.
This is the bottom of the ancestral hall. Under the thousand-year-old ice, it is moist and cold. The ground is also quite slippery. Ye Fan was careful enough, but he still accidentally fell to the ground. However, the ground was
It's quite clean, there's no rubbish at all, someone must come here to clean it every day.
Why not take this time to see if you can find a way out?
After walking around in a big circle, he couldn't find any way out, but he smelled the smell of something burning. Ye Fan was startled, and hurried back along the original path, and saw Sima Xichen kneeling on the ground, his eyes
Staring blankly ahead, he lit his father's body on fire with his own hands.
As a disciple of Baidu Sect, he carries many useful items with him, and flint is always carried with him. Although there is ice everywhere, Sima Rongyin's body is still wearing clothes, so it can easily be ignited.
and burn to ashes.
Ye Fan didn't say anything. He couldn't say what was right or wrong, right or wrong, about his grudges with him.
"I think this is better." Sima Xichen's tired voice sounded quietly, and he said lightly, "He has been kneeling for so many years. I'm afraid he is tired. Why not let him have a good rest and let him take the first step?
Wait for my mother at Naihe Bridge."
"I'm sorry." Ye Fan said these three words with difficulty.
Sima Xichen didn't speak for a long time, just kneeling quietly.
"It's my father's fault. I'm his daughter. I will definitely sacrifice my life to repay this grudge." Ye Fan said sadly, "It's just that whatever you say now is superfluous and will not help. Fortunately,
I, Ye Fan, am still a living person, and I still have one life to repay to your Sima family."
Sima Xichen turned his head slightly, swallowing back the tears in his eyes, with a smiling face, looking at Ye Fan, and said in a calm voice: "Now, the Ye family has been ruined, even if Prince Ye meets him
You, I just treat you as a stranger. There is no talk of grudges between you and me. If I say I didn’t hate you at first, that would be a lie. I also approached you intentionally and used my scheming skills.
I’ll hurt you first. Don’t bring up the old things again.”
Ye Fan shed tears and didn't know what to say. In fact, she had already thought in her heart that her life would eventually be returned to Sima Xichen. Even if all this was just a step in the plan, she recognized that this person, she
I will definitely use my life to apologize for my father.
"I'm not sad anymore, why are you crying." Sima Xichen smiled faintly, approached Ye Fan, and reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks, "I've turned around, but can you see the way out?
"
Ye Fan shook his head guiltily.
"Okay, don't worry about it. One person is the enemy, and two people are the enemy. Let's look around again. Since we can get in, we can get out." Sima Xichen said with a smile, "This Gao Fengyuan is also a member of the Bai Du Sect.
, as for the strategy, it is not necessarily better than Mo Luyi's, but her vicious heart is much better than hers, so you can always find loopholes in this mechanism."
Ye Fan nodded obediently.
The two of them searched carefully in the underground palace. Ye Fan wondered why Sima Xichen didn't dispose of Li Qiang's body, but he didn't dare to ask for fear of touching Sima Xichen's sadness. He endured it and was a little absent-minded.
"Are you thinking that I didn't burn Li Qiang as well?" Sima Xichen asked lightly when he saw Ye Fan secretly glance at Li Qiang who was sitting on the dragon chair several times.
Ye Fan nodded quietly, "If it were me, I'd probably want to cut him into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart."
"He is dead now. No matter how much I vent my hatred, it won't help. Just let him stay lonely. If I take away my parents' ashes, he will really be alone." Sima Xichen said lightly,
"Moreover, I will take away from his son everything that he took away from my father, including his country!"
"Do you want to be the emperor?" Ye Fan asked softly.
Sima Xichen shook his head gently, "I don't want to be the emperor, I just want to seek justice. If I want to seek justice, I have to keep my word. I want history to restore my parents' innocence. So I can only be the emperor."
That’s all.”
Ye Fan sighed softly, he was just a passer-by after all.
Suddenly, Ye Fan saw a gap in the ice wall in front of her that could be seen from her angle. It was so inconspicuous that she even thought it was her eyesight. She immediately walked forward quickly, but she didn't pay attention to the slippery foot.
, and suddenly fell to the ground.
"Ya - Miss Ye, you should be more careful." Sima Xichen couldn't help but smile and said, reaching out to pull her up. The word 'girl' that almost blurted out was swallowed hard, and Miss Ye shouted.
Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat.
"I never thought the ground was so slippery. I've fallen a few times, but fortunately it doesn't hurt." Ye Fan said awkwardly, using the strength of Sima Xichen's hand to stand up, but when he stood up, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
She found that she couldn't see the gap she just saw, "Hey, could it be that my eyesight is dazzled? It shouldn't be -"
