"Guess how His Majesty will protect you?"
Chu Qingluan's pupils suddenly shrank.
It doesn't matter what happens to her, but her father...
However, Xie Yunqi had already let go of her and staggered back two steps, with the smile on his face becoming even gentler.
"Look, Your Highness, you hesitated!"
"You know in your heart that if I really wanted to set a trap, I would never use such a crude trick of inflicting pain on myself."
The night wind blew, bringing with it waves of bloody smell that gradually spread between the two of them.
Chu Qingluan froze in place, looking at the silver needle in her hand still stuck in his neck, and her breathing finally became disordered.
"Xie Yunqi! Are you crazy?"
After all this ordeal, Xie Yunqi was exhausted and fell down on the steps.
He looked up at her, his pale lips opening and closing: "I have been...crazy for a long time!"
He went crazy when he learned that she was missing in Jiangnan.
Outsiders only knew that Pei Yuan searched for her in Qingshui County for five days and nights, but they didn't know that at that time, he also went to Jiangnan, dug three feet deep into the ground, and walked every inch of land in Qingshui County.
But in the end, I couldn't find her back.
From that time on, the emotions that he had suppressed for many years finally broke through the soil, and he understood what it meant to be unable to control one's emotions.
It turned out that from the very beginning, when he was a princess and a tutor, he had fallen deeply in love with her.
Perhaps it was because she had been outstanding since she was young, or perhaps it was because he admired her intelligence and character. It made him see his own childhood self.
The strong are often lonely, but one day, another strong person who is as strong as himself breaks into his world. It is normal for the two to spend time together day and night and sparks of love arise.
But Xie Yunqi knew since he was a child that he would be the future heir of the Xie family and had to abide by the ancestral teachings. The Xie family had always taken it as their responsibility to check and balance the imperial power.
Xie family motto: It is better to support a tyrant than to establish a female emperor!
This caused Xie Yunqi to fall into pain and struggle for a while.
He began to avoid Chu Qingluan and stopped seeing her. When Chu Qingluan asked him about her studies, he asked other teachers to convey her message on his behalf.
But the more he did this, the obsession in his heart seemed to take root and sprout, and he could no longer control himself.
Xie Yunqi laughed softly, his laughter a little hoarse.
"Your Highness, do you know? There was a heavy rain in Qingshui County. I knelt in the mud and searched every corpse..."
His fingers trembled slightly as he rubbed the old wound on his little finger. "I'm afraid it's you I'll find."
Chu Qingluan's heart was shocked!
She never thought that in Jiangnan back then, besides Pei Yuan, there was someone looking for her?
"Later, I heard that you married Qi Che." He suddenly covered his chest, his voice full of endless brokenness: "It hurts so much here... I wish I could dig it out."
"you--"
Chu Qingluan stepped back in shock, but was suddenly grabbed by his hand and pressed against his bloody chest.
"Your Highness, do you know what the heart-wrenching pain is?"
When Chu Qingluan heard this, her pupils suddenly shrank.
This lunatic! Could he...
