evening.
Sheng Wu was still in the backyard of the Cining Palace, lying in the sun, with the swings around her swaying slightly.
The afterglow of the setting sun penetrated through the round fan covering her face, but surprisingly, it was not as charming as her enchanting face.
Next to it was the pond that Pei Yuqing had almost pushed him into from the swing.
Perhaps it was because he had been a ghost for too long, and had been in the dark abyss of ghosts for thousands of years, that Sheng Wu particularly liked to bask in the warm sunshine.
And she was indeed taking a nap.
She was wearing a lotus pink palace dress, the hem of which swayed on the ground along with the chaise longue. She lay under the crabapple tree with a slender and graceful figure, and a few flowers fell on her skirt.
Even with a round fan covering her face to block the sunlight, she still looks like a fairy walking out of a painting.
The moment Xiao Luochen came in, he saw this dreamlike beauty.
However, his eyes subconsciously softened for a moment, and then immediately became cold, as if he remembered the deception and teasing of him by this woman!
Beneath the sleeves of his light black brocade robe with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern was a tightly clenched fist that was invisible to others.
However, he walked over with a majestic look, and the sound of footsteps.
But it is as light as it can be.
He slowly walked under the crabapple tree and looked at the woman who seemed to be sleeping peacefully. The coldness in his sharp pupils gradually softened, and his eyes were deep, complex, and extremely entangled as he glanced at her.
That looks beautiful.
In reality, a beautiful person with thorns and poison.
These days, he investigated many previous things and found her shadow according to what Sheng Wu said.
The veins on the back of Xiao Luochen's hand bulged violently. No one would know that at this moment, his heart was struggling with joy, anger and resentment!
If, if she hadn't told him those facts yesterday, he wouldn't be like this now. He would deliberately avoid her for a few days and now could only keep a distance from her in great pain and complexity.
He would not even hesitate to decide whether to kill the woman who teased the emperor, or to pretend nothing happened and continue living in the dream she had woven!
Perhaps because he saw the source of all the pain, Xiao Luochen's breathing became slightly deeper, and his breath became unstable and irritable.
Sheng Wu, who knew he had come in from the beginning, pretended to be awakened by him.
She took off the round fan from her face and looked at him indifferently with her charming face.
"You're here."
He had no idea that he would be beheaded by the emperor in the next second.
Seeing that she woke up, Xiao Luochen controlled his emotions, restrained his expression, and slowly walked in front of her.
"I heard from the imperial physician that you refused to take medicine and refused treatment."
He had a tall and slender figure, was handsome and dignified, with long narrow eyelashes drooping, hiding the expression deep in his pupils, and no emotion could be heard in his tone.
It seemed that only in front of Sheng Wu would he rarely forget to control his emotions as an emperor.
Sheng Wu slowly stood up, changed from lying to sitting, and patted the empty seat next to her.
His expression was calm. “Well, I know my body well. I don’t need to take medicine anymore.”
Seeing her actions, Xiao Luochen still stood where he was and did not go forward to sit next to her. He was afraid that he would lose control if he was too close to her!
His eyes darkened slightly at Sheng Wu's words, and he seemed a little unswerving, but he did not open his mouth to persuade her.
Until Sheng Wu's next words ignited the suppressed emotions in his heart.
"So, please let me out of the palace. I won't be alive for much longer anyway. If you kill me yourself, you'll be wasting poison and white silk."
Sheng Wu lowered her face, with a strand of hair hanging down by her ear, looking charming and attractive, but her tone was extremely cold.
Also, it is impossible to see the hidden meaning in her eyes at this moment.
The moment these words fell.
"I won't allow it!"
Xiao Luochen was like ignited gunpowder. His eyes turned cold. He took two steps forward and directly reached out to grab Sheng Wu's arm.
"Since you wanted to die outside the palace, why did you arrange that night's incident, deliberately appearing before me and asking me to take you back to the palace? Why, do you really think it's fun to see me panic and concerned?"
Xiao Luochen's voice was sharp and filled with endless coldness and anger.
"Do you think I can let you live peacefully after you teased me like this? Even if you want to die, I still need your permission!"
He moved closer to Sheng Wu, and every word he spoke seemed to be deliberately provoking her.
However, when Sheng Wu slowly raised her eyes, Xiao Luochen's pupils trembled.
Even though his face was reflected in Sheng Wu's charming fox eyes, there was no concern for him in her eyes. There was only endless indifference, coldness, and even sarcasm.
"It seems you made a mistake."
Sheng Wu's beautiful dark eyebrows were slightly frowned, her chin was raised, and her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Luochen.
"Whether to leave you is my decision, and whether to love you is also my decision!"
Her charming face was filled with pride and complacency, and the cinnabar teardrop mole at the corner of her eye was very charming.
But the words he spoke were spoken word by word, like a heavy punch hitting Xiao Luochen's heart.
Xiao Luochen's breathing trembled, and he felt a little powerless as he held Sheng Wu's hand.
Her words left him powerless to refute.
Indeed, if she wanted to leave, death would be the fastest way.
And her expression also silently told him that if he didn't let her go, she would die in front of him, and she didn't care at all!
Sheng Wu slowly stood up and let Xiao Luochen continue to hold her. She then moved closer to Xiao Luochen and raised her hand to place it on his chest.
"I heard it. Your heart is telling me that you still love me and you still can't bear to kill me, right?"
The charming face approached him, her beautiful eyes shone with a hint of tenderness, and her lips were slightly curved.
"Even though I don't love you, I've only ever wasted my time and energy on you. You're the supreme emperor, and all the people in the world flatter and follow you. Only I dare to openly use you and tease you. If I weren't there, would you forever lose someone who makes you happy and moved?"
"Have you ever considered that you love me so much, yet I treat you like this? Is it your fault? You didn't believe me, humiliated me, trampled on my self-esteem, and even deliberately let me drink the poison! What gives me the right to feel your love and still like you?"
"I!"
Sheng Wu's words stabbed into Xiao Luochen's heart, making his pupils bloodshot and trembling. He grabbed Sheng Wu's hand and let go powerlessly, especially the coldness and even resentment in Sheng Wu's eyes.
It made his breathing even more painful. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he had nothing to refute!
Looking at Sheng Wu's beautiful, moist and cold eyes, he seemed to be able to see what he had done to her cruelly in the past.
In an instant, Xiao Luochen forgot all about exploitation and teasing, and all that was left was guilt and pleading towards Sheng Wu.
Seeing that he was bewildered by her words, Sheng Wu continued to take a deep breath, as if suppressing her emotions and looking indifferent.
"So, please let me go. I just want to be buried in the wild mountains after I die. That's better than this cannibalistic palace."
