Mu Qing placed the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart into the jade box, took a deep breath, and felt an immense burden due to both physical and mental exhaustion.
Bigan's deeds could not be kept secret from the world, and Su Daji's infamy became a topic of conversation everywhere.
But what does it matter? The person she loves is still alive, and that's enough!
"I finally got it! Don't worry, Brother Gu, I won't die as long as I'm here! After I say goodbye to Di Xin today, I'll go back to find you!" Mu Qing smiled slightly.
Just as she got up to look for Di Xin, Di Xin staggered in.
Seeing Di Xin covered in blood and drenched in sweat, Mu Qing asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, what happened to you...?"
"My beloved consort..." Di Xin pulled Mu Qing into his arms. "My beloved consort, you are all I have left, all I have left. Please, please don't leave me, okay?"
Mu Qing was taken aback, and immediately sensed the fear in Di Xin's heart, which was so similar to the fear she felt when she lost her brother...
Fortunately, I still have Brother Gu.
Looking up at Di Xin, the emperor who ruled a country, how could he vent his confusion and anxiety, and to whom could he tell them?
Mu Qing felt a little sorry for him and raised her hand to comfort him, using her brother's past actions as an example, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, you still have me."
Di Xin held Mu Qing tightly and said, "My beloved consort, I'm so afraid of losing you again! You won't leave, will you?"
Mu Qing stiffened slightly, then smiled and said, "Yes, only I will not leave Your Majesty."
Mu Qing looked down and suddenly saw the wound on Di Xin's wrist. Her brows furrowed with anger. "Who injured the King like this!"
Di Xin lowered his head and said, "It's alright now, that person... is dead!"
Mu Qing glanced at Di Xin but said nothing. "What are you all still doing here like idiots? Go and call the imperial physician!"
Immediately, the maid standing behind him rushed out.
As night approached, Gu Liyan went directly to the door of Su Xian'er's palace. The pungent smell of blood made Gu Liyan's hands and feet turn cold instantly.
"Waaah..." Xiao Cui knelt on the ground. She never expected that Su Xian'er would be so chaste and resolute, preferring death to compromise!
Now, only after Su Xian'er died did he realize that he had no one to rely on.
"Waaaaah... Your Majesty, how could you leave like this... What will Xiao Cui do..."
Da da da—
Heavy footsteps approached the palace. Xiao Cui raised her tear-streaked face and looked at the person who came.
He was dressed in pristine white, with long, black hair reaching his waist. He held a jade flute in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes sparkling like peach blossoms, and his gaze like a galaxy...
"Who, who are you?" Xiao Cui looked at the man timidly. His beauty was beyond words. How could a man be more beautiful than her master, Su Xian'er?!
Xiao Cui felt her cheeks burning; that glance seemed to last forever.
Gu Liyan didn't know how he got to Su Xian'er. Confusion, helplessness, despair, and pain filled his heart.
“Xiao Bai…” Gu Liyan stared blankly at Su Xian’er, a tear silently falling.
That peaceful sleeping face carried a faint smile. What was she mocking? Or was she anticipating something?
Gu Liyan really wanted to wake her up and ask her if she was disappointed in him.
He held Su Xian'er in his arms and gently asked, "Xian'er... did you fall asleep because you were tired?"
"Xian'er, I've come to pick you up. I'll take you away from here to a place where there is only happiness..." Gu Liyan gently wiped the bloodstains from her face, but the more he wiped, the larger the area of bloodstains became, and in an instant, Hua Baixian's face was covered with bloodstains.
His hands trembled as he stroked Su Xian'er's cheeks, pulling her into his arms. "Xiao Bai, Xian'er... let's... let's go back to Shelley together, shall we? Let's replant our tree of destiny, let it bloom, let it bear fruit..."
A tear fell onto Su Xian'er's face, and a single tear miraculously diluted the bloodstains on her face—
Without any response, Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "Since you don't object, I'll take that as your consent..."
After saying that, Gu Liyan picked up Su Xian'er and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Xiao Cui hurriedly said, "You can't take her away. According to the rules, she should..."
Gu Liyan coldly turned his head away to look at her, his dark purple aura exuding ruthless indifference. He spoke coldly, "From now on, wherever I, Gu Liyan, am, shall follow my rules!"
Xiao Cui couldn't help but tremble, lowered her head, and dared not speak again.
——
"It's terrible! Your Majesty, someone is bringing Consort Su's body this way!" a eunuch cried out in a panic.
Di Xin trembled, his face deathly pale. He could almost picture who would step forward if Su Xian'er were in trouble...
I never expected that person would actually come! And so quickly at that!
Seeing this, Mu Qing frowned slightly and looked at the eunuch, asking, "You mean Consort Su?"
"Yes, she is your sister, Lady Daji..."
Mu Qing glanced at Di Xin and said, "In that case, let's go take a look!"
With that, he walked straight out of the main hall—
Gu Liyan didn't know where the road he was walking led, but he knew that the aura he was looking for was at the end of this road!
As Mu Qing watched Gu Liyan approach her step by step, her heart trembled violently. "Brother Gu—"
Gu Liyan carried Su Xian'er as he walked step by step past the soldiers surrounding him. No one stopped him, simply because of the mask he wore that belonged to the Demon King.
Di Xin watched as Gu Liyan trembled with fear, while Mu Qing ran forward excitedly, whispering as she handed the jade box to Gu Liyan, "Brother Gu, it's so good you're alright! I found the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart. As long as you take it..."
Before Mu Qing could finish speaking, Gu Liyan coldly said, "I don't need it!"
Mu Qing was taken aback. "Brother Gu?"
The cold tone sent a shiver down her spine.
"I've come only to inform Di Xin that you have broken your promise to me." Those purple eyes bypassed Mu Qing and fixed directly on Di Xin.
"Therefore, Di Xin, your empire—I have taken it!"
Mu Qing stared at Gu Liyan in astonishment, then frowned slightly at Su Xian'er in his arms. "Brother Gu, is it because of her that you..."
"Her name is Su Xian'er, the love of my life!" Gu Liyan said angrily. "But she was harmed by this tyrannical and incompetent king! Di Xin! I will make you pay for this in blood!"
Boom—
The setting sun was as red as blood, and thunder roared in the sky. Gu Liyan's words seemed to be a judgment on the world!
Turning around, Mu Qing finally came to her senses and hurriedly comforted him, "Brother Gu, you still have me!"
Gu Liyan paused. "So what?"
He lowered his head, the tenderness in his eyes reserved for only one person, and his hoarse voice betrayed an undisguised killing intent: "But I—have no one else!"
Mu Qing trembled. It was the first time she had ever seen Gu Liyan look so tender and affectionate, and also the first time she had ever seen him look so angry.
only……
Whichever one
None of them belong to her!
