The pointed remark made Tianyun blush even more, her face turning even redder.
"I'm waiting for you."
...You need to come back soon.
※※※※
The pair of dragon and phoenix candles on the table had burned down to more than half their original length; two hours had passed.
The dark sky pressed down in layers, so oppressive it was almost suffocating. In just a few breaths, a torrential downpour began, striking the black rock tiles and gleaming with round, dark, glossy circles.
Tianyun's fingers were clasped tightly together, twisting unconsciously.
Listening to the noisy rain outside the hall, I felt a surge of irritation.
Unable to resist any longer, she lifted her elaborate and gorgeous wedding dress and walked out with slender waist and graceful steps.
Lingqi had been waiting outside the door. When she saw her push the door open, she was somewhat surprised. "Why is Your Highness coming out?"
Tianyun asked urgently, "Where is His Majesty?"
"I heard that the rebels are losing strength and are fleeing in droves. His Majesty has gone out of the palace to pursue them."
"Prepare the carriage, I'm leaving the palace." Tianyun lost her temper and started taking off her layers of wedding dress, which terrified Lingqi, who quickly stopped her.
"Your Majesty, you cannot leave the palace at this moment!"
"I said prepare the carriage!"
Tianyun's lips turned pale; this was the first time he had spoken so harshly to Lingqi.
Lingqi was almost in tears, but seeing the girl so unusually anxious and flustered, how could she dare to disobey? She had no choice but to do as she was told.
The rumbling thunder, like gongs and drums striking in one's ears, made one's legs tremble and one's heart quiver.
A dark alley on Suzaku Street—
Xiao Ziwu lay in a pool of blood, his eyes, slashed by a sword, constantly gushing blood and tears, which were quickly washed away by the torrential rain.
The hand gripping the longsword trembled slightly before falling limply to the ground.
On their wedding night, he left his precious baby alone in her empty room. She must be very unhappy. He deserves to die...
Xiao Ziwu never expected that Xiao Limin would be so ruthless as to willingly hand over Daliang to the Western Huan in order to collude with the Western Huan to eliminate him.
He shouldn't have underestimated his opponent...
The fatal blow from a stray dog was so frenzied.
Blood was slowly draining away, and his pierced eyes could no longer see anything. A thick darkness of excruciating pain enveloped his vision, and the rain was icy cold. Xiao Ziwu's lips moved.
"My sweet baby..."
He felt as if his limbs and bones had been crushed; he couldn't stand up.
The voice gradually weakened, "My darling..."
In the end, he could only barely keep his mouth moving, "My darling..."
The darkness of night, coupled with the torrential rain, made it difficult to see anything in the sky.
But she could clearly sense that Xiao Ziwu was nearby, just like that day at the bottom of the cliff, when she could always find him.
The rain soaked her thin coat, but she ran over without a care, only to be heartbroken by what she saw.
"His Majesty!"
The familiar voice pierced through his ears in a broken way, and Xiao Ziwu's strong will finally relaxed, his weak breathing stopping at this moment.
I'm glad she's alright.
