"Babies, can you go outside and wait for Mommy?"
Tu Shan Lingxi spoke to them in a gentle tone, her long black hair falling down to cover the bloodstains on her chest, making her appear exceptionally beautiful and pure.
Her eyes were full of heartache, making her look exceptionally kind, which temporarily put the two little foxes at ease.
Wan Qiyi wasn't thinking too much; she was filled with anticipation, knowing she would be going back soon.
She tugged at Tu Shan Lingxi's sleeve, acting coquettishly and hoping that Tu Shan Lingxi would take her place, and in the end, beat her up badly.
"Okay, then Mother, be careful too. We'll be watching over you at the door."
"Mother, be careful!"
Tu Shan Lingxi stood up again and saw Yin Changling move. Yin Changling walked towards her step by step with an extremely oppressive aura.
Tu Shan Lingxi didn't even try to hide. She did it not only for herself, but also for Wan Qijin and for her children.
For whatever reason, she could no longer back down.
Yin Changling's aura was terrifying; he had never been as angry as he was today.
However, his longing for Tu Shan Lingxi had long since overwhelmed him like a flood, and he didn't want the two of them to start arguing as soon as they met.
"Xi'er, don't you have anything else to say now that you're back? I... have been looking for you for so long."
Finally, Yin Changling stood in front of Tu Shan Lingxi. His voice was dry and unpleasant, as if he had been mute for many years.
His eyes were filled with deep affection and expectation, and his blood-red lips contrasted sharply with his increasingly pale face, making him look particularly striking.
Yin Changling meant to say that he really missed her, but to Tu Shan Lingxi, it sounded extremely ironic.
Tu Shan Lingxi felt she had nothing to say to him. She spent three days in a row trying to solve the problems he had left behind.
Now, this person still has the nerve to stand in front of me and say he misses me?
"Has Your Majesty forgotten what you have done, and completely disregarded the harm done?"
Tu Shan Lingxi's tone was aggressive, but her eyes were red. The exhaustion of the past few days made her look even more pitiful.
Although she was blaming Yin Changling, wasn't she also blaming herself? She shouldn't have met Yin Changling and shouldn't have gotten involved in such trouble.
"Xi'er, don't say that. All I want is to be with you. Can't we put everything aside and live a good life together with the children?"
Yin Changling's eyes were full of pity. He had already missed so many years and didn't want to miss out again.
Therefore, he did not mention that Tu Shan Lingxi had deceived him, and tried to erase everything from the past so that the two could start over.
If only Tu Shan Lingxi were this carefree, she could forget everything, and nothing about herself would be a problem.
If Yin Changling had hurt her, she might have truly forgiven him. But instead, he hurt Wan Qijin.
For Tu Shan Lingxi, Wan Qijin was her only obsession throughout her two lifetimes.
Now that he is dead, Tu Shan Lingxi naturally cannot accept it. Whenever she thinks about it, her whole body trembles slightly, and she tries her best to calm down.
However, putting everything else aside, Tu Shan Lingxi firmly believed that Yin Changling must have a way.
Thinking of this, she lost all interest in arguing with Yin Changling. Instead, her eyes were full of pleading as she asked softly.
"Your Majesty, I...I have something I need to ask you about. Regarding the resurrection of the Grand Preceptor, you once said you had a way—"
Yin Changling originally wanted to coax Tu Shanlingxi to stop thinking about Wan Qijin and just live a good life with him.
But what did he hear? What was that young woman saying?
Yin Changling could hardly believe his ears. Tu Shan Lingxi had taken the initiative to seek peace, just so that he could find a way to save Wan Qijin!
so--
"Did Xi'er come to me just for this one thing?"
Yin Changling felt no joy whatsoever. He even felt pathetic, because the woman he longed for had another man in her heart.
He tried to convince himself that Xi'er was just too young and that's why she was deceived by the Imperial Preceptor.
However, no matter how much Yin Changling tried to deceive himself, it was not as damaging as Tu Shan Lingxi's words, which instantly left him distraught.
"Xi'er, is this all you have to say to me? Is there nothing else you want to say?"
Yin Changling didn't know what expression he should wear when facing her, but he thought that as long as she said something else, he would not care about anything else.
He was willing, willing to save Wan Qijin, as long as Xi'er returned to his side and loved him wholeheartedly.
Even if Tu Shan Lingxi was just deceiving him, Yin Changling was happy to be fooled.
Unfortunately, the straightforward Tu Shan Lingxi didn't understand these things; she had no idea about the intricacies of human society.
Although Tu Shan Lingxi didn't understand why Yin Changling asked that question, she still firmly shook her head.
"No, I just want to save Wan Qijin."
Yin Changling suddenly pulled Tu Shan Lingxi into his arms, one large hand pressing on her slender waist, the other hand pinching her chin, forcing her to look at him.
He tried to find a trace of love for him in Tu Shan Ling Xi's eyes, but there was nothing there.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Tu Shan Lingxi answered with unusual firmness. This was the meaning of her life, after all, the events of her previous life were still vivid in her mind.
She couldn't imagine how she could face being reborn if she couldn't save Wan Qijin.
She would have been better off just running herself over a pillar from the start, which would have saved her from causing trouble for the Grand Preceptor.
Yin Changling saw the determination in her eyes, the do-or-die spirit, and the resolve to face death.
The thought of who this person had made such a decision for caused him pained him deeply. It turned out that... it was all just wishful thinking on his part!
However, Yin Changling still held onto a sliver of hope and tentatively asked one last time.
"Then what do you take me for? Has there ever been a moment when you considered me a good man?"
"No, never for a moment."
Tu Shan Lingxi shook her head. She knew that saying this might anger Yin Changling, but she couldn't deceive him or force herself to say something against her conscience.
"Okay, okay—"
Yin Changling laughed in anger. His heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe, and he almost choked on his breath and fainted from anger.
Let go?
Should I let go or not?
No.
Yin Changling asked himself if he would be better off if he gave up on Tu Shan Lingxi, someone who didn't love him.
The answer is no. Those three years were more agonizing for him than ever before; it was a living hell.
He won't let go!
