(Vol 4.8: You and I are not the only ones who are helpless)
[Southern King's Capital--
After rushing around for a month, I slowly moved forward, but I still arrived at the capital as expected. As long as you walk on the road, there will always be an end, just like a love that is consumed, it will always disappear.
Only those who don't know what they want are truly unhappy.
I have what I want, so I'm still happy.
"Who are you? Please show me your token." Riding his horse, he wanted to enter the palace, but he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the door. He couldn't say that he was stopped, but he just blocked his line of sight.
"Oh, it's Princess Su Yu. You still have the face to come back?" I was about to cross over when a cold voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw that the person was wearing a purple court dress. He should be a first-grade official.
He ignored her, but he shouted behind her,"Do you dare to say that the South is not defeated because of you?" You still have the face to come back?" After hearing this, my hand holding the reins trembled slightly. Because of my private affairs, I caused the defeat of the southern country. Will father forgive me?
After hesitating for a long time, I looked back at him coldly again. Seeing his face turn pale a little, I said coldly,"What are you?"”After that, I turned my horse around and glanced at the soldiers guarding the gate. They made way for me and I rode into the palace.

[Southern King's Capital-Royal Palace]
"Xi 'er, you're back." In the golden and solemn hall, a man in a royal robe standing at the head of the hall said indifferently. I took a deep breath and replied,
Father…"
He waved his hand and turned his head to look at me, his black eyes gentle."Xi 'er, it doesn't matter." Is your father not going to pursue this matter? Father also knows that no one can restrain you, but Father only wants you to remember that you will always be a Southern citizen." After that, he approached me. Touch my forehead. "Father…" I choked. I had caused the Southern Kingdom to lose a promising victory, but Father did not pursue the matter.
"Xi 'er. Father wants you to know that one day in the future, you must choose which country to help. Father will never force you. I only hope that you will always protect the people of the Southern Kingdom." His warm words lingered in my ears. I clenched my hands. Did something happen to my father? Otherwise, why would he tell her about these unpredictable things in the future?
"Father. What happened?" I opened my mouth sharply and cast aside my thoughts that were confused by gentleness. Although he was surprised, he did not say anything else. I quickly grabbed his wrist and felt his pulse.
No, how could Father's heart be broken? Although my father doesn't have a strong martial arts cultivation, he's not bad either. Who could hurt him so badly that his heart and meridians were broken? What about Brother Yu? Did he know?
"Xi 'er. Yu 'er only knows that I'm seriously injured. Don't tell him, okay?”He saw my astonishment and asked gently. I loosened my bleeding fist and lowered my head to ask,"Why don't you tell me?" Why didn't you let me save you! Do you know how many days you have left in your current body?”
He didn't speak, but turned his head and looked at the sunlight outside the hall. "Father. Are you telling me what will happen after you die?”I looked up at him, why? Was there so much helplessness in this world?
"If she wants me dead, I'll die." After a long time, he said lightly.

[Southern Kingdom Royal Palace-Xianyue Palace]
"Xi 'er…" As soon as he entered the Xianyue Hall, he heard the youth sitting on the wisteria swing gently call out.
I froze and looked back at him approaching me without saying a word. "Xi 'er…" His hand ran through the hair on my temples. The flaxen hair looked particularly transparent and brilliant in the sun.
"Brother Yu…" Unable to resist his charming gentleness, I answered helplessly. He smiled brightly and said,"I feel so happy to hear your voice again."
Is that so? Is the warmth I give others the same as the warmth others give me? Oh, don't tell me that you can only get it if you pay first? Hehe, but I don't care anymore.
My life is so thin, I don't expect anything anymore.
"Xi 'er. It's the middle of January now, and you'll be setting out in early February. Xi 'er, in the remaining days, Brother Yu will take you around the capital again, okay? Just like when I was young…"
"It's the same as when I was young…" I repeated these words in a daze. I opened my eyes and looked at Brother Yu, but I fell into the gentle vortex that was infinitely expanding in his eyes. Just these few words, can easily burn my heart?
-------------------------
In the next half a month, Brother Yu was just like when I was young. He brought me funny joke collections every day and took me to greet my father before running out of the palace to visit every corner of the capital.
Such simple happiness made me feel like I had returned to the carefree days twelve years ago. Although I was young then, I already have memories. I still remember that I was running around the palace every day, going to Zhenghe Hall every day to cause trouble. It will affect my father's work. I climbed out of the palace through the dog hole because I was peeing, but I was tied up in an alley for a day and a night before Brother Yu found me.
Now, we are no longer the naughty children of the past. However, I feel that Brother Yu has always treated me as a child. He has always hoped that I can be as happy as a child. However, how could a person maintain the heart of a child forever?
The big wedding is coming, Ah Xin, do you know? Would you be angry? Do you blame Xiao Xi for not telling you that Xiao Xi is going to marry someone else? Even if this was just a political marriage, I was still giving it to someone else as a gift. I couldn't predict or prevent anything that would happen if I married her.
Xiao Xi once promised you that we would always be together. But now, I have to accept my father's good intentions and marry him. From then on, she had to abide by the three obedience and four virtues of a woman.
I represent the country behind me. My every move will be regarded as gossip by others. How can I add to my father's matters? Although I don't care about what others say or frame myself.
I have long disdained to explain. If someone really knows me, would they not understand why I am doing this? But at that time, I didn't understand that some people just wanted me to explain some things to prove that I cared.
The explanation was just to reassure them.
But Ah Xin, where are you? Ah Xin, I've been looking for you so hard. Can I give up? Ah Xin, the news about you is getting more and more vague. I already want to give up.
Although without you, my heart will always feel no real warmth, but it's better than being disappointed again and again, isn't it?
I deliberately handed over the wedding matters to someone else and even angered the nanny sent by the palace to teach me. I only acted excessively in some minor details, but you can also see my suppressed anger, right?
Otherwise, why would father look at me with more and more conflicted eyes every day? Otherwise, why would Brother Yu look at me with a more helpless gaze every day?
Zuo Xi, you're getting married. In the future, you will have to accept a man who doesn't love you for a long journey. In the future, the person who will sleep next to you will be someone else. Ah Xin, if you were still here, why would I care about a country? How can I accept this small palace that restrains me?
But you're gone.
