Zhou Changling felt a surge of excitement. If Bai Lingxi could remain as obedient as she was now and stay by his side forever, he thought he would love such a life.
Zhou Changling tightened his grip on Bai Lingxi, his gaze darkening as he looked at her. Finally, he asked the question he had kept hidden for so long.
Zhou Changling reached out and covered Bai Lingxi's ears, burying her head in his chest. He inexplicably didn't want her to hear those words.
Zhou Changling: "Can we prevent her from regaining her memories? Forever—"
Zhou Changling's voice was tinged with madness, as if it could drag people down to hell with him.
Zhang Yu finally couldn't help but look up at this man who exuded madness from the bottom of his bones. His eyes were filled with shock. He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't speak. He seemed to be frozen in place.
After a long pause, Zhang Yu finally found his voice: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and do not know how to make Her Majesty lose her memory forever."
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head. He dared not look at the emperor who had suddenly turned from aloof to mad. He had never expected that this once dignified prince would have such an unpredictable side.
Zhou Changling remained silent, staring intently at him as if pondering the credibility of his words.
The atmosphere gradually became tense. Zhang Yu felt like she couldn't breathe, and large beads of sweat covered her forehead. Just then, Bai Lingxi became restless.
Bai Lingxi: "Are you done yet?"
Bai Lingxi twisted her slender waist, trying to break free from this constraint, which aroused Zhou Changling's anger.
Helpless, Zhou Changling waved for Zhang Yu to leave; he wanted to teach this little girl a lesson.
Zhang Yu accepted the order and retreated step by step from the palace. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the emperor's usually aloof and cold eyes, now filled with tenderness, as if he were looking at his lover.
Zhang Yu was terrified, but he quickly composed himself, lowered his head, and hurriedly left, not daring to look back.
After Zhang Yu left, Zhou Changling released his grip on Bai Lingxi and looked at the lovely girl in his arms with an inscrutable expression.
Bai Lingxi had just regained her hearing when she heard Zhou Changling's voice.
Zhou Changling: "What do you remember?"
Zhou Nuling's usually cold voice fell silent when she met Bai Lingxi's innocent almond-shaped eyes, and her tone softened.
Bai Lingxi: "I don't remember anything, except that you are a very important person to me."
Bai Lingxi's soft, sweet voice rang out, and Zhou Changling felt that the person in his arms was so fragrant and soft that he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
Bai Lingxi: "It's so dark here, I don't like it. Can you take me away?"
Bai Lingxi hadn't finished speaking. She looked at Zhou Changling with a tearful expression, as if he were her whole world.
Zhou Changling felt even more agitated under such gazes. If he was stagnant before, he was now boiling over.
Looking at Jiaojiao in his arms, Zhou Changling couldn't help but sigh. How could he bear to part with someone like her?
Fearing she might change her mind, Zhou Changling didn't immediately agree, but instead advised her, "Our statuses are different—"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Changling suddenly realized that his hand was still on Bai Lingxi's waist and he was reluctant to let go. He looked embarrassed and slowly withdrew his hand.
Zhou Changling wanted to say something more, but he felt awkward and had to shut up.
