Outside the window, tender willow buds are sprouting and growing tenaciously; that is the breath of spring, containing the meaning of life.
As the seasons changed, Su Xian'er sighed softly, "Time flies so fast. Before I knew it, the willow tree by the door had blossomed."
Looking at Su Xian'er's calm expression, Xiao Cui said impatiently, "Your Majesty, you've been in Chaoge for so long, aren't you worried? The King hasn't come for a long time."
Su Xian'er looked down at the jade hairpin in her hand and smiled slightly, "I am a little anxious, but I'm not waiting for him..."
Xiao Cui frowned as she looked at Su Xian'er. She understood that Su Xian'er had no feelings for Di Xin, but given their current situation, what other choices did they have?
Just as Xiao Cui was about to offer some words of advice, a eunuch's voice came from the palace to announce:
"The King has arrived!"
Xiao Cui was overjoyed and hurriedly stood respectfully to the side to wait for Di Xin. Su Xian'er's eyes flashed with displeasure as she hid the peach blossom jade hairpin in her sleeve.
Turning her head, she saw Emperor Xin walking towards her with an elegant and noble bearing, and the two eunuchs following behind him dared not meet her gaze.
Su Xian'er recognized them as the two who had once tried to steal the stove from her!
As soon as Di Xin entered the room, he saw Su Xian'er wearing a pink dance dress. He immediately recalled her dance in the garden that day, a dance that had amazed everyone and moved him deeply.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Xiao Cui was overjoyed to see Di Xin arrive.
Di Xin waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave. Xiao Cui looked at Su Xian'er with delight, but Su Xian'er completely ignored Xiao Cui's gaze.
After the group left, only he and Su Xian'er remained in the room. Di Xin couldn't wait to step forward and take Su Xian'er's hand:
"Xian'er".
Su Xian'er nimbly dodged to the side, and seeing Di Xin's embarrassed expression, she bluntly said, "Your Majesty, you still have three thousand beauties in your harem, and the new Empress Daji is taking care of you. What do you want to do with me now?"
Di Xin smiled slightly, his face neither red nor his heart skipping a beat, and said, "I had Su Hu take Daji as his adopted daughter, so she can now be considered your elder sister, my beloved consort. You sisters are all my beloved consorts, so what is there to worry about?"
Su Xian'er couldn't help but glance at Di Xin again. Who said this king was incompetent and foolish!
He used this method to give Mu Qing the identity of Su Daji and status, making her a princess by his side. Not only did he make her Su Xian'er have a grudge, but he also reminded himself that Jizhou was still in his hands!
Su Xian'er sneered, "Then I really should thank Your Majesty for finding me an older sister..."
"Xian'er, your sister is someone I have wronged. Everything I have done for her is to make it up to her, and even more so to make it up to you! That way, both of you can be by my side!"
Su Xian'er looked at Di Xin coldly, naturally not believing his lies.
Seeing that Su Xian'er was not moved at all, Di Xin hurriedly said, "Xian'er, I have said that as long as you are with me, I can give you everything in this world. I am the Son of Heaven and I would never lie to you!"
As he spoke, Di Xin stepped forward, took Su Xian'er's hand, and said with deep affection, "So, Xian'er, could you please stop refusing me?"
Su Xian'er struggled incessantly, trying to break free from his clutches, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, please let go!"
"Xian'er, I truly love you!"
"Let go! Let me go! I'd rather die than like you!" Su Xian'er said coldly.
Di Xin's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he shoved Su Xian'er to the ground. Su Xian'er fell to the ground in pain, and seeing Di Xin's indifferent face, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She forced herself to get up and ran towards the door.
But she had only run halfway when Di Xin caught her and brought her back. "Su Xian'er, you are my woman, where do you think you're going!"
He dragged Su Xian'er onto the bed, pinned her down, and began to undo her belt. "Su Xian'er, you forced me to do this!"
Su Xian'er's hands were pinned to the bed by Di Xin's hand. Seeing this, she screamed in terror, "No, please don't do this! Let me go!"
Di Xin stared at Su Xian'er with a ferocious and greedy expression, which frightened Su Xian'er so much that her face turned pale.
Su Xian'er gritted her teeth, and with a flick of her sleeve, the peach blossom jade hairpin fell out. She quickly grabbed it in her hand, slashed it hard with her backhand, and Di Xin screamed and gradually retreated, clutching his wrist.
Su Xian'er jumped off the bed, circled around Di Xin to the bookshelf, and looked at Di Xin warily.
Seeing the murderous intent in Su Xian'er's eyes, Di Xin roared in fury, "Su Xian'er! How dare you hurt me!"
Su Xian'er stared coldly at Di Xin, gripping the jade hairpin tightly and pointing the sharp end at him. She said coldly, "Di Xin, you can't have me! Don't force me!"
"You bastard!" With lightning speed, Di Xin raised his hand and rushed forward to slap him hard across the face.
Snap—
"Ah..." Su Xian'er screamed as she was sent flying by a powerful force. She crashed into a chair, her forehead hitting the corner of a table with a "thud" before she fell to the ground.
Like a kite with a broken string, it has no life without the support of the wind...
Su Xian'er lay motionless on the ground for a long time.
Di Xin was panting heavily, the hand that had injured Su Xian'er was red, and he was trembling uncontrollably from using all his strength.
A sudden pain in his wrist brought him back to his senses, and he immediately walked towards Su Xian'er, calling out, "Xian, Xian'er—"
He slowly walked up to Su Xian'er. Her stunning beauty was now stained with blood; her lips, forehead, and entire face were covered in blood.
Blood trickled down her pale cheeks from her forehead, staining the front of her pink dress crimson, blooming like a delicate red peach blossom...
Di Xin looked at the unconscious Su Xian'er, raised his hand and carefully checked her breath. The temperature he touched was icy cold, and there was no sign of life...
Di Xin collapsed to the ground, trembling all over. "Dead? Dead? How could this be...?"
Di Xin stared at Su Xian'er in astonishment, swallowed hard, and ran out, pale-faced and staggering...
After an unknown amount of time, Su Xian'er slowly opened her eyes. Thinking of Di Xin's disheveled escape, she suddenly smiled, slowly sat up, and murmured to herself, "What I want... you simply can't give me..."
She raised her hand, the peach blossom jade hairpin in her grasp icy cold. Tears streaming down her face, Su Xian'er softly murmured, "Xiao Li, I can't wait for you anymore..."
Raising her hand, the cold peach blossom jade hairpin pierced her burning, passionate heart.
He collapsed to the ground, his tears of despair mingling with his resolute heart's blood.
Close your eyes, and your soul will have returned to spring...
At that moment, Gu Liyan, who had reached the gates of Chaoge, suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart. Looking at the Chaoge palace not far away, a sense of fear suddenly arose in her mind, "Xiao Bai..."
