The people present might have heard that the two of them had a grudge, but only they knew what Fu Rongxin meant by this sentence.
Xue Zhiyi paused as he was about to leave, looking down at her condescendingly. "I've said before, I don't believe in fate, and there's no such thing as 'should have been'. If there is, it's that you and I should have been two completely unrelated people. Since you dragged me into this, you're going to suffer the consequences."
Fu Rongxin was no longer listening. She hadn't been able to figure out anything in her past two lives, and now Xue Zhiyi's words wouldn't make her understand anything. She just cursed loudly, "Xue Zhiyi! You'll die a miserable death! Since you stole my life, I curse you to die a miserable death just like I did in my last life!"
Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi's brows twitched slightly. She died too early in her previous life and was unable to see Fu Rongxin's ending. However, the position of queen that she had worked so hard to obtain was ultimately not what Fu Rongxin wanted?
However, this didn't matter anymore. Xue Zhiyi just bent down slightly, and the pearls and jade jingled with her movements, reflecting the dim light, which made Fu Rong's heart ache.
Xue Zhiyi's eyes were cold, and he spoke softly in a voice only they could hear: "Fu Rongxin, you hope that I will not have a good end, that my life will not go as I wish. But do you know that I have been secretly searching for your whereabouts, because you still have a life debt to repay. Maybe you have forgotten it, but I promised Xue Runing that the person who killed her would pay with blood. If you completely disappeared, I might regret not being able to find you for the rest of my life. It's a pity that you came to me on your own, and you can't even add one last flaw to my perfect life."
After saying that, Xue Zhiyi stood up straight, looked into Fu Rongxin's eyes for the last time, and said seriously: "Fu Rongxin, you lost this time, completely."
"No... No! I didn't lose! Xue Zhiyi!"
Looking at Xue Zhiyi's back as he turned away, Fu Rongxin's sharp and cold screams almost made her internal organs bleed, until bright red tears of blood oozed from the corners of her eyes, like a wailing evil ghost.
Amidst the shocked and frightened gazes of the crowd, Xue Zhiyi remained calm and walked steadily, but there was an uncontrollable warmth in his eyes that was burning and intimidating.
Suddenly, she felt a chill at the tip of her nose.
It's snowing.
Behind him, the shrill screams continued, but Xue Zhiyi just smiled indifferently and did not look back.
…
When Huo Wuyou returned home, it was almost dawn, but he didn't expect that Xue Zhiyi was still awake.
The emperor summoned him to discuss matters and originally allowed him to stay in the palace, but when he suddenly heard the news that Xue Zhiyi had been assassinated, he hurried back in the snow.
Even though the wound on Xue Zhiyi's palm had been treated with medicine, Huo Wuyou still felt distressed, to the point that Xue Zhiyi even called him pretentious.
"What do you want to do?" Huo Wuyou asked her.
"What?"
"Assassin, what to do with him?"
"kill."
"It's asking how you want to kill."
Xue Zhiyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Wuyou in front of him. Although he looked calm, the coldness in his eyes made him look extremely angry.
However, she did feel that Fu Rongxin's death, with just one blow, was a bit too easy, and she was not qualified to let her enemy off lightly on behalf of Xue Runing.
…
A few days later.
Fu Rongxin, who was unable to move, was already covered in dirt and stench. There was no one in the cell to wipe her body, let alone clean her wounds. She could only endure the dirt and stench by herself.
The last bit of her dignity was destroyed, and she just wished she could die quickly. She had never longed to die so much.
Until this day, someone took her out of the cell, apparently on someone's orders.
When she saw the light of day again, she was already in a snowy mountain forest.
She was left in the snow, and just when she was at a loss, she seemed to hear a dull growl.
Later she realized that in such a cold and harsh winter, she was a rare food in the eyes of the hungry wild beasts.
Her instinct for survival made her use her last bit of strength to call for help, but the more she shouted, the closer the growl came.
At this moment, she was actually somewhat thankful that her body had lost all feeling...
As her flesh and blood were separated, Fu Rongxin's consciousness gradually became blurred... It was not until this moment that a trace of regret welled up in her heart.
She still clearly remembered that day at the Bodhi Temple, when she had privately asked the old monk who had read her and Xue Zhiyi's fortunes why there were two phoenixes.
The old monk said that there was only one phoenix life, but this phoenix had a dangerous fate and had to survive the calamity before it could be reborn in Nirvana. But it seemed that someone had changed its fate, so there were two phoenix lives, one true and one false, one good and one bad. But now the phoenix has survived the calamity and will surely soar into the sky in the future.
Now that she thought about it, perhaps she had been wrong from the beginning. She had exchanged lives with Xue Zhiyi, and in her previous life, Xue Zhiyi had saved her from disaster. So how could she be the one soaring in the sky in this life...
"Wrong... all wrong..."
She had lived two lives in vain. If she had known this would be the end, she would have rather not come back this time... If there was an afterlife, she didn't want to be Fu Rongxin...
She laughed at herself, letting the last bit of breath dissipate from her lips.
…
…
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lights come on.
The Lantern Festival in Huajing City is bustling with people. People are dressed in red and green, and the streets are filled with lanterns, making the streets look as bright as day. Even the Jinlu Bridge lives up to its name.
The crowd moved slowly, cheers and celebrations rose and fell, and the carriage could no longer move forward.
Xue Zhiyi and Huo Wuyou got out of the car and walked hand in hand into the bustling crowd. It was a rare moment like this, and they wandered around the night market in Huajing like an ordinary couple.
