Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 193
A soft murmur sounded behind her. Qingyun was startled, turned around, and fell into an embrace reeking of alcohol, accompanied by a pair of lips that also reeked of alcohol.
Qingyun's eyes turned cold, and with a slight effort, she broke free from Situ Xingyun's grasp.
She raised her eyes and looked coldly at Situ Xingyun.
"Xue'er, Xi'er is dead. My first child is dead." Situ Xingyun's voice was filled with sorrow, his face was haggard, and his expression was grief-stricken.
Situ Xingyun has barely slept a wink lately because of Xi'er's situation.
"Xue'er, I am very sad."
"Impeccable can help you."
"I want to confide in you."
"Wuxia would be a great listener."
"I only want you."
Qingyun's eyes grew even colder as she stared at him without saying a word.
"Xue'er, so much time has passed. Can't you forgive me for my unintentional mistake back then?"
Qingyun frowned slightly. "I don't blame you. But many things, once they're over, can't be undone. And you and I are the kind of people who can't turn back."
Situ Xingyun shook his head. After drinking the wine, he felt a blur before his eyes. His Xue'er seemed to have split into several people, some with cold expressions, some with smiling faces, and some with furious anger.
Ah...how cute.
He reached out his hand towards the smiling Xue'er, but before he could touch her, he had already fallen to the ground.
Qingyun glanced at Situ Xingyun on the ground, sighed, and after confirming that he was drunk, she instructed Eunuch Tao to take him back to his palace.
"well……"
Qingyun sighed softly. Ever since Xi'er's burial, Situ Xingyun's attitude towards her has changed. He seems to be unable to hold back any longer and will probably make his move soon!
“Sigh…” Qingyun sighed again. Suddenly, she was startled.
That sigh...
Her red lips curved slightly as she turned her head and smiled, "Li Ge..."
"Woman, why are you sighing again? You've been sighing non-stop these past few days." Li Ge habitually put his arm around her from behind. Qing Yun smiled and gently rested her head on Li Ge's shoulder.
Upon smelling the familiar scent of pear blossoms, Qingyun gradually relaxed, placing all her weight on Lige. "It's autumn, and people are always sentimental."
"Woman, when did you become so sentimental?" Li Ge rested his chin on Qing Yun's hair, and tightened his grip on her waist slightly.
"It's a bit chilly this autumn!"
Li Ge's heart tightened suddenly. He turned her face to face him. After staring into her eyes for a long time, Li Ge said softly, "Actually, this autumn is not cold at all. It's just that His Highness the Crown Prince's matter made you feel the coldness of this palace."
"Heh..." Qingyun raised the corners of her mouth, "As expected, Li Ge, you understand me best."
"That's what your eyes are telling me."
"Really?" Qingyun blinked, her eyes clear as a mirror. "Many people dare not look me in the eye. They say my eyes are too clear, like a mirror, capable of reflecting any secret of the mortal world."
“Indeed, but they overlooked one point. Once you see through this mirror, all your emotions will be laid bare.” Li Ge’s expression was serious, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “However, only I in this world am qualified to see through this mirror.”
Qingyun smiled and said, "Because I only gave you the chance to see through my mirror."
The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with joy.
Li Ge's eyes reflected Qing Yun's, and Qing Yun's eyes reflected Li Ge's. He had only her in his eyes, and she had only him. Even if the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked, even if the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled, they would remain the same, inseparable, for all eternity, forever and ever.
After a long silence, Qingyun suddenly asked in a low voice, "Lige, are you willing to abandon your identity as a prince?"
Why do you ask that?
"...Don't you want to?"
Li Ge smiled and touched her nose with his own. "Didn't you already know the answer?"
Qingyun pouted, "I want to hear you say it yourself."
"Woman, you're so hard to please."
"Say it!"
"The reason I was willing to stay in the palace back then was because I didn't want you to fight alone. I stayed for you, so of course I'm willing to leave for you."
It was rare for Li Ge to say something so cheesy, but Qing Yun looked astonished, "You...you stole lines from a character in my book!"
Li Ge's lips twitched slightly.
"Woman, you're such a spoilsport. All the romance has vanished."
"Now the land is barren and there are no flowers, the sun is warm but there is no moon. Li Ge, you are actually quite a spoilsport."
Overall, they were all spoilsport.
So they decided to change the subject.
"Woman, you want to leave the palace." There was no room for doubt; it was a statement of certainty.
"Yes," Qingyun honestly admitted.
