"So you're going to kill me and Yan Jun?" Chu Xiuning raised her eyes.
"I will not kill you," Huo Jin said.
Chu Xiuning's eyes flickered slightly. She looked at him and gave a bitter smile: "In the end, you can't bear to let go, can you? Over the years, you've also developed feelings for me, haven't you?"
Huo Jin staggered slightly: ...
No, is she sick?
Bai Yan merely glanced at Huo Jin lightly.
Huo Jin's scalp tightened slightly, and his gaze finally turned to Chu Xiuning. "Judging by actions, not intentions, no matter what the late Crown Prince's purpose was, he did rescue me from the Cold Palace."
"Therefore, I will not kill you and Huo Yanjun."
He looked at Bai Yan, who then took out a pinkish-white porcelain bottle from her sleeve and looked at Chu Xiuning with a light smile: "Using their own methods against them, isn't that fair?"
Chu Xiuning's gaze suddenly changed. She had witnessed Huo Jin's suffering over the years, and as the owner of the spice, she also understood its effects.
She looked up and immediately pleaded pitifully, "No, Ah Jin, don't do this to Yan Jun, he's your own nephew! Please kill me!"
"Give us, mother and son, a quick death!"
Endless torment—they weren't Huo Jin; how could they endure it?
Huo Jin simply waved his hand, and the chief steward stepped forward to have Chu Xiuning taken away.

Huo Jin had just breathed a sigh of relief when Bai Yan looked at him with a smile again: "My heart is full of you now, and I know you have me in your heart, so I am with you. However, my heart is very small, and I am not good at doing anything virtuous or kind."
"If you are the emperor and truly have ulterior motives to take concubines and marry beauties, I will not stop you."
Huo Jin's heart tightened, and then he heard her say, "If that day comes, I will completely tear you out of my heart." She meant it; her feelings could not tolerate even the slightest impurity.
"No, never!" Huo Jin pulled her into his arms. "My heart is small; it can't hold anyone else but you!"
He placed her hand on his chest. "Can you feel it? It's beating for you."
A smile bloomed on Bai Yan's lips as she looked at him: "If you love me for one day, I will love you for one day. If you love me forever, then we will be lovers for eternity. Okay?"
"good!"
