Chapter 756: Emotion (5)

Shen Miao did not go back.

The white tiger on the ground seemed to realize that Shen Miao had no ill intentions, and its master also showed no hostility, so it gradually relaxed its vigilance and snuggled up to Shen Miao's feet in a familiar manner, purring.

Shen Miao looked at the young man on the tree quietly.

After a while, she asked, "Xie Jingxing, do you want to destroy Ming Qi?"

The air suddenly became quiet, and it seemed that a few tiny, lingering lamp flames leaked out from the lantern.

The dim light and the branches obscured the young man's expression. Even if one could see, the mask made it difficult to discern his features. One could only see the corner of his gorgeous purple robe drooping, its embroidered gold pattern gleaming in the light. The interwoven threads faintly outlined the image of an auspicious beast.

It seems to be a dragon.

The silence was frightening, and he didn't answer.

The white tiger whimpered softly, turned around and ran back into the bushes.

Shen Miao leaned against the tree and said calmly, "If you only want to destroy Ming Qi in the end, then everyone along the way can be chosen or discarded. People with different philosophies cannot work together. Some people are very good, but they are destined not to be on the same path. If they are not on the same path, then it doesn't matter what they do."

Xie Jing Xing chuckled, and his voice came from above his head: "Are you comforting me?"

“No, I’m comforting myself.” Shen Miao replied.

She could understand Xie Jingxing; there were indeed some differences between them. Xie Jingxing was a man, and even more decisive in his actions. She believed that after tonight, she would still be the victorious King Rui. Nothing could stump him, and nothing could stop him. He was like a lion, inherently powerful. It was just that she happened to encounter him during this lonely time, licking his wounds alone.

"Are you also sad?" Xie Jingxing teased. He still had a cynical tone, but Shen Miao knew that there was no smile in his eyes at this moment.

It was because there were some emotions that even he himself could not hide, so he had to go to the tree where no one could see him, and he was unwilling to take off his mask and just sit there quietly.

"I have as many sorrows as you do." Shen Miao smiled and said, "At least Princess Rong Xin is still alive. Isn't the most painful thing in the world when even the person you want to be misunderstood and blamed is no longer around? Some mistakes can be compensated, but some can't."

Just like her Wanyu and Fu Ming, she could save many people, but these two alone, not in this life, not even in her lifetime. Regardless of whether she could avenge her vengeance in the future, or live a life of luxury with the Shen family, this regret would never be made up for, and she could only toss and turn in her mind at night.

Even dreaming is a luxury.

"You also know that this day will come sooner or later, so why worry too much? Do your best and accept your fate. What you have done is the utmost of humanity. No matter how excessive the rest is, it is just the end of fate." Shen Miao said: "No one is destined to walk the same path with someone for their entire life. For example, my marriage."

"Fu Xiuyi and I are not on the same page, the Crown Prince is not on the same page, Huangfu Hao is not, Feng Zixian is not, Luo Ling is not, and Pei Lang is not."

Fu Xiuyi and the Crown Prince were members of the Fu family, so naturally they were enemies. They couldn't possibly be on the same side as Shen Miao. Huangfu Hao harbored ulterior motives, while Feng Zixian had a smooth life, a greenhouse-raised flower, and she was inherently different. Luo Ling was a righteous man; how could he possibly understand the dark calculations within her heart? As for Pei Lang, the entanglement was complex. In a previous life, he had played a significant role in destroying Shen Miao's life, a fact that forever separated her from Pei Lang, making it impossible for them to be honest with each other.
