Chapter 1997 Laughter in the Night Wind
She whispered, "Does Your Majesty also feel that something between them needs to be 'ended'?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a long time, and smiled faintly at the night in the distance.
Said: "I don't know."
“…”
"Perhaps, this is just my unfounded worry and fantasy."
“…”
"Maybe, there was never anything between them at all."
“…”
"If it's really just my unfounded worry and fantasy, then the handkerchief has been returned. If it hasn't started yet, that's fine too. Once the handkerchief is returned, it won't start."
Her words seemed full of hope.
But there was no hope on Ran Xiaoyu's face or in her heart.
The gloomy sky at this time seemed to be the gloom that had been hanging over her heart since the night she arrived at the Lianxin Club, and she could never let it go.
She whispered, "What if it's not what Your Majesty wants?"
“…”
"If, already—"
She didn't say anything because she didn't dare to say it and couldn't bear to say it.
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a while.
At this time, several bonfires in front of her were burning fiercely, reflecting countless clusters of flames in her eyes, just like something was stirring in her heart.
She whispered, "I just hope it's over."

On the other side, the flames continued to burn.
As soon as they entered the earthen city, the whole world became completely dark. Ying Shao immediately ordered people to light torches. Four riders held torches in front to lead the way, and several others followed behind with torches. Zhu Feng led everyone in the middle.
The sound of horses' hooves clattered, but they were not moving very fast.
After all, they had no destination, they just wanted to come in and take a look.
Once you enter this earthen city, you'll find it's like a giant maze, with tall earthen walls over several feet high standing on both sides. Although the road is spacious, the dim light and the flames cast dark shadows like ghosts swaying on the high walls, giving people a rather cramped and depressing feeling.
Zhu Feng held the reins in one hand and slowly moved forward.
Ye Zheng followed beside him and felt someone breathing heavily. He turned around and saw that it was Xue Yun.
Even in such dim light, one could still see that his face was exceptionally pale.
Youqi looked up at the towering earthen walls on both sides, his eyes seemed a little dazed, as if he was frightened by the swaying black shadows on the high walls. He was a little scared and kept moving closer to them.
In fact, at this time, Xue Yun was really scared.
Although there were people all around her and there was no one inside, for some reason, from the moment she entered the earthen city of Yumen Pass, she felt cold all over, as if her blood was about to freeze into ice.
I can only keep getting closer to them.
Ye Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it seems this place has been abandoned for a long time. There is no one here anymore."
“…”
"If there are no clues, why don't we go back—"
Before he could finish his words, another gust of wind blew, and there seemed to be a faint sound in the wind.
Ye Zheng frowned.
He thought he had misheard, but everyone continued to move forward, frowning one after another, holding their breath, and everyone fell silent.
Everyone heard it.
There seemed to be a real sound in the wind.
A burst of children's laughter.
Ye Zheng originally thought it was the sound of the wind, but the further he walked, the clearer the laughter became, as if it was right in front of him.
His eyes widened and he whispered, "Your Majesty."
