After a long pause, he spoke, "Crown Princess."
"What?"
Do you want to die?
She paused, then shook her head. "I don't want to die."
"Do you know... that I'm the kind of person who dares to touch even the Emperor's favorite concubine?"
She nodded subconsciously again, "I know..."
"Then you should know that no matter how noble a person's status is, they are all the same in my eyes," he said. "Killing you would be as simple as it gets to me."
Her heart skipped a beat. She released her grip on his collar and slowly climbed off him. "I remembered I'm still making soup. I need to go home and check on things..."
“Crown Princess.” He grabbed her wrist, preventing her from getting off his lap. With his other hand, he pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him directly. Then, he lowered his head slightly, getting closer to her face, and was pleased to see her pupils dilate slightly. He smiled and said, “Now you know fear. Don’t you think it’s too late?”
"Lord Song..."
"Lord Song?" he chuckled. "Didn't you always call me Song Wuxia?"
"That was because I was young and ignorant..."
"Is the Crown Princess trying to say that you've grown up overnight?"
"No... I want to say that I'm still young." She blinked pitifully, squeezing out a tear. "I don't want to die yet."
"Since the Crown Princess doesn't want to die..."
"Please, be magnanimous and forgive my petty transgressions. I'm just a weak woman, and I was already helplessly stranded on the Lan Yue Lou's ship, and now I'm being forced by that Zhang Mama to serve others... I've suffered enough already, please have mercy and let me go." She was almost crying. "I can't thank you enough. I will burn incense and pray to Buddha day and night, begging Heaven to bless Lord Song with a long life and great success..."
"So this is what it looks like when the Crown Princess is scared." Song Wuxia raised an eyebrow with amusement.
She smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Lord Song... since you think I am making you happy, why don't you let me live? When you are unhappy one day, I will come and make you happy again."
"I'm unhappy every day, what should I do?"
She raised her hand and swore, "Then I'll stay by your side for the rest of my life!"
The light in Song Wuxia's eyes paused for a moment. It wasn't the first time he had heard the phrase "a lifetime" written in three characters, but he found the words "a lifetime" coming from her mouth today to be particularly pleasing to the ear.
It's like preparing to be all alone in the end, and you can also imagine what it would be like if you had someone else by your side.
He suddenly fell silent, and Feng Guang felt a pang of guilt. "Lord Song... what's wrong?"
He smiled, a smile colder than a winter breeze, as pure and flawless as snow. He murmured almost, "Didn't you already give your whole life to Baili Mo?"
She blurted out, "What kind of forever do we have? I'll divorce him sooner or later."
He raised an eyebrow. "Divorce?"
“Yes, the person he likes isn’t me. He likes a palace maid named Yiren. Besides, being the Crown Princess means I can’t go here or there. It’s too tiring. What would it be like if I became the Empress?” Feng Guang pouted. “For my future freedom, I will divorce him sooner or later.”
Song Wuxia's grip on her chin loosened slightly without his notice. He asked, "You don't even want to be the Empress, so what do you want to be?"
"I want to be the owner of a dessert shop!" Her eyes sparkled; it seemed that this was truly her life's dream.
