A petal of blood fell, weathering away my battle armor. I stood on the city wall, gazing northwards, where the northern gates stretched to the horizon. I wondered what divine pronouncements had been ordained for me...
Looking at the lights of Chaoge City, Gu Liyan felt a surge of excitement. That familiar soul aura was getting closer and closer!
However, he suddenly felt that the familiar aura was gradually fading away, and he couldn't help but frown.
Little Peach anxiously said, "Daddy, Daddy, Mommy's aura is a bit off!"
Gu Liyan frowned. He naturally sensed the faint life force emanating from Su Xian'er and quickened his pace.
In the cold palace, Xiao Cui knelt on the ground, wiping away her tears. Looking at Su Xian'er, who lay pale and bloodless on the bed, she sobbed, "Your Majesty, how could you be so foolish! If you don't want to be with the King, don't hurt yourself like this! What will Xiao Cui do if you die!"
As an outsider, Xiao Cui was quite clear that if Su Xian'er really died, Di Xin would only punish her in the end!
In the end, she'll be the one who suffers the most!
At this moment, Su Xian'er lay on the bed with a blank expression. There was still a faint trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She looked up at the window and saw that her empty and lifeless eyes had no vitality at all.
With a mixture of confusion, exhaustion, and dissatisfaction, Su Xian'er asked, "Xiao Cui, why isn't it snowing outside?"
Xiao Cui wiped away her tears, wondering why Su Xian'er would ask. She glanced at the flowers, plants, and trees outside the window that had already sprouted tender buds, and patiently replied, "It's already springtime, Your Majesty. If it snows again, it will be winter!"
"We have to wait until winter?" Su Xian'er murmured to herself, then smiled bitterly, "The wine is gone, the wind blows, and snow falls... So the season to meet him is over..."
Su Xian'er smiled bitterly: They can only meet during the season of heavy snowfall, right? Why not let this cold winter last a little longer?
Thinking and longing, tears unknowingly fell onto the pillow.
Seeing this, Xiao Cui immediately pleaded anxiously, "Your Majesty, don't be sad. I'll find you whatever you want. Please, don't think such things. Just live well!"
Su Xian'er smiled slightly, "Silly girl, I'm just happy... Although I can't stop the passage of time, I can make time stand still in my own world... cough cough..."
As she finished speaking, Su Xian'er coughed up blood. Xiao Cui immediately panicked and hurriedly got up, saying, "Your Highness, don't worry, I'll go find a doctor for you!"
Watching Xiao Cui rush out the door, Su Xian'er couldn't help but smile bitterly. Was this her survival instinct?
I'm terrified that if she dies, I'll have no way to survive either...
Unexpectedly, even at this point, Su Xian'er herself had given up, but Xiao Cui had not. This truly made Su Xian'er look at her with new respect!
Su Xian'er sighed, forcing a bitter smile, "Xiao Li, for both of us, this is the best ending..."
From the moment she fell in love with Gu Liyan and learned that he was a demon, Su Xian'er knew their ultimate fate...
Gu Liyan, destined for a long life, bids farewell to his own life, which lasts only a few decades!
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. Reject him, leave him, and stop loving him—that's the best choice!
Thinking back to the cold words Gu Liyan spoke to her that day, the moment he admitted to using her, Su Xian'er couldn't help but chuckle, "Little Li, you really are a clumsy fox who can't lie!"
He was clearly lying.
Despite his serious and indifferent expression
He clearly said he didn't like it.
But just so
Her eyes would still be glistening with tears, gazing tenderly at herself, wondering if she truly believed it...
"What a...silly fox!" Su Xian'er raised her hand to cover her tear-streaked face, thinking of the white-clad boy she loved—
But unbeknownst to Su Xian'er, her beloved was watching her from outside the window, the beautiful woman inside...
Gu Liyan stood outside the window, watching Su Xian'er's tears fall in torrents, his heart trembling violently.
This was the woman he loved. When they first met, he was still a boy, innocent and full of dreams for the future, harboring some illusions and expectations about love...
She thought she could give him a lifetime of happiness, but who knew... in the end she would be the one to ruin her life!
"Daddy, aren't you going in to see Mommy?" Little Peach asked in confusion.
Gu Liyan's face was gloomy. "Let's wait and see..."
Gu Liyan clenched his fists. At this moment, he wanted to rush to her, take her hand, and lead her away from this damned cage!
But……
But his own fate was uncertain in seven days, and he couldn't give Su Xian'er hope while simultaneously letting her see despair!
Just then, Xiao Cui returned, her face full of anger, cursing incessantly, "These guys have such an arrogant attitude of 'no work without money,' they're really bastards!"
Su Xian'er looked at Xiao Cui, who hadn't brought anyone back, and couldn't help but smile. "Xiao Cui, you're back. You should get some rest..."
Xiao Cui was taken aback. Looking at Su Xian'er's kind gaze, she felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She could only nod and go back to her room to rest.
Su Xian'er lay in bed, exhausted by the illness, and soon fell asleep.
Just as she fell asleep, Gu Liyan quietly jumped in through the window and came to Su Xian'er's side. Looking at her mature face, Gu Liyan felt heartbroken.
"I thought you would be happy, but who knew that I would make you so lonely..." Gu Liyan gently stroked Su Xian'er's burning forehead. Her pale face was pitiful.
Gu Liyan's gentle gaze held a resolute glint as he lowered his head and lightly kissed those cool lips...
