"Xun, are you going out?" Seeing that Di Xuanxun was about to leave, Xiao Luoli grabbed her arm and asked. Why did he feel that Xun was very far away from him at this moment? What was wrong? Did he know about her and Di Xuanxue? If Kaoru knew that she had lied to him…would they never have a chance again? No, don't…! Thinking of this, Xiao Luoli felt as if her heart had fallen into an ice cellar.
"I'm going to find Qiuniang and tell her about tonight's dance. I'll also tell her that I'm leaving this place.”Di Xuanxun's tone was calm, and her eyes were a little misty.
"You want to leave…this place? Kaori, where are you going?" Was he going back to the Ghost Palace? That's impossible. Why would Kaoru suddenly make such a decision?
"I want to enter the palace." His voice was still calm.
" What…What did you say?!" Xiao Luoli could not believe her ears. Di Xuanxun said that she wanted to enter the palace. Then…then he…would not! It couldn't be what he thought!
"I want to enter the palace as a concubine." There was no warmth in Di Xuanxun's eyes when she looked at Xiao Luoli. There was only a faint sense of alienation. His current indifference was forced out by everyone, including Xiao Luoli.
"Xun, why? Do you love Imperial Brother? Do you know what your decision means?!”Why would Kaori make such a decision…Kaori's personality did not like the confinement of the Imperial City. Although it could not restrain him, how could he be willing to go there…Did he really love Xiao Luochi or was he taking revenge on her? Xiao Luoli really wanted to ask Di Xuanxun if she knew about her relationship with Di Xuanxue, but he did not know how to say it.
"I know that entering the palace means that I belong to him. Isn't this a good choice for me? Besides, didn't you want him to bestow you with a marriage? Congratulations in advance!”Di Xuanxun's words did not carry any hint of jealousy or mockery. They seemed plain and sincere. Love Xiao Luochi? No, he had never mentioned this word to Xiao Luochi. Entering the palace was just a transaction, but no one else would know this except Xiao Luochi.
"I don't need congratulations! Because there would be no wedding! Tell me what I am. Did you really only treat me as a one-night stand after sleeping with me? Xun, tell me!" Xiao Luoli gritted her teeth as she spoke. She pinched Di Xuanxun's shoulders hard. He was restraining his disbelief and anger, which were on the verge of collapse.
Yes, from the moment he said that, he realized that he could not marry Lin Yuanxin. He could not do it at all! Although he would lose a lot of help without her, he would rather make up for it in other ways than accept Di Xuanxun's blessings! He didn't want it! Kaoru really didn't care about him at all. Not only was she not jealous, but she was also sincerely wishing him well…Did he know how uncomfortable his tone would make him feel…! Perhaps in his heart, she was really worthless and not worthy of his attention…Was this retribution? It was funny, really funny! He had been tempted by a game, but he realized that the other party had easily retreated at this time. It was as if he had waved his sleeve and not taken away half a cloud! What could he defend? Did she say that Di Xuanxun had deceived her feelings? Di Xuanxun had probably never given her any feelings. She was originally a substitute, but now she was nothing! And that person who looked exactly like Falcon, with him, what was he?!
Xiao Luoli was willing to give up on the marriage…That political marriage was very important to him, but he really gave it up…Upon hearing Xiao Luoli's words, Di Xuanxun's heart trembled. However, she quickly suppressed her emotions and forcefully threw them aside. "It's up to you whether you get married or not. For an actress to ask for a night of romance as a real relationship, Prince Yi must be joking.”Although Di Xuanxun's words were cold and heartless, there was finally a hint of warmth in her eyes. However, not only did Xiao Luoli not notice the change in the stars, but even Di Xuanxun herself did not notice it.
"Kaori, take care of yourself. Don't forget me!”Although Xiao Luoli was reluctant, she knew that once Di Xuanxun had made up her mind, there was no turning back. From the moment he was willing to give up the marriage for Di Xuanxun, Xiao Luoli knew very well that he could not let go of Di Xuanxun! "Xiao Luochi, it's time for you to pay me back! Kaoru…If I'm destined to use this method to get you, then I will!”
Looking at Xiao Luoli's determined back, Di Xuanxun narrowed her eyes and smiled coldly. "Xiao Luoli, since you started the game first, you can continue playing. You have no right to stop..."
Di Xuanxun tidied up her red clothes and walked out with a bright smile on her face. Even if he had to leave, he had to end it perfectly!
" Young Master Feng!" The sharp-eyed people shouted excitedly when they saw Di Xuanxun, who rarely showed up, go downstairs during the day.
"Thank you for your support. Today is my last day in the Drunken Soul Pavilion. I will dance tonight as a gift.”Di Xuanxun's gentle and charming voice drifted out, causing a heated discussion.
"Ah, Kaede, you're leaving?!”The agitated Qiu Niang immediately pushed the crowd aside and rushed to Di Xuanxun's side. Why didn't she know about such an important matter beforehand? "Kaede, is there anything you're not satisfied with here? If you're not satisfied, just tell me. I'll definitely change it for you!”Qiu Niang still wanted to do her best to salvage the situation.
"Mom, wait." Di Xuanxun pressed on Qiuniang's shoulder and whispered to her.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I have something to discuss with my mother, so I'll leave first. I would like to trouble everyone to pass on the message that I will be dancing here for the last time tonight. I hope everyone can support me.”
Pulling Qiuniang away from the noisy crowd, Di Xuanxun returned to the elegant room on the third floor.
"Mom, thank you for taking care of me for so many years, but I'm leaving tomorrow. It's not that I didn't want to tell you in advance, but this matter was suddenly decided by me.”Di Xuanxun still felt a little warmth towards Qiu Niang.
"Kaede, is it because things aren't going your way here? Is it because of Prince Yi that you…"
"No, mom, don't think too much. I left because I decided to enter the palace. I'm leaving tomorrow morning.”
"Enter the palace? You mean the emperor will personally send someone to pick you up?!”Qiu Niang was almost stunned by this news! The Imperial Palace! Your Majesty! Although Feng was red, she was still just an actress in a brothel. However, for the emperor to personally send someone to pick her up, this was a great honor!
"Yes, Mom, go and take care of it. I'll be leaving after one last dance tonight.”
"Wait!" After hearing this, Qiu Niang immediately thought of something, then ran downstairs, and soon ran back.
"Feng, the Imperial Palace is not like here. People and things are very complicated. You will need a lot of money to settle things.”Qiu Niang then stuffed a large bag of gold into Di Xuanxun's arms. Although Feng was the money tree of the Drunken Soul Pavilion, Qiu Niang had always treated him as her own son. Since he had a good home, she would not keep him. She only hoped that his future would be smooth.
"Mom, I've earned a lot over the years. I don't lack anything!”Di Xuanxun was touched. She had not felt this kind of pure concern for a long time. With his identity and ability, how could he lack money?
"This is a small token of my appreciation. You must take it. Feng, Mom has something that I don't know if I should say.”Qiu Niang did not allow Di Xuanxun to decline.
"Go ahead, Mom." Di Xuanxun guessed that Qiuniang was still worried and needed some advice.
"We serve people with our looks. When our looks decline, we love to gallop. You're a man and can't leave behind any children, so after you enter the palace, you have to think of a way out for yourself!”This was what Qiu Niang was most worried about. After all, a man could not leave behind descendants for another man!
"I understand. Thank you, Mom.”Di Xuanxun hugged Qiuniang for the first time. At this time, he was only thanking someone who cared about him. Of course, he knew that he couldn't give birth to children, but he wouldn't stay in the palace for his entire life, so this wasn't a problem at all. The palace was just a smokescreen.
"That's good, that's good…I'll go down first. You should get ready. If there's anything you like here, take it away. Don't dislike it. I just feel that it might be inconvenient for you to change it if you're used to it.”After saying that, Qiu Niang turned around and stomped downstairs with tears in her eyes. She must spread the news throughout the city that she needed to find the best musician to start practicing now so that Kaede's last dance could be performed perfectly.
After Qiu Niang left, Di Xuanxun looked around the place where she had stayed for seven years. Everything here had been arranged according to her own wishes. Other than the black clothes and silver mask that he had brought with him, he would not take anything with him. He hoped that he could keep a complete memory and then leave without being tied down…
At night, the Drunken Soul Pavilion was filled with lights and wine, and it was noisy. Under Qiu Niang's vigorous publicity, almost everyone in the city knew that Kaede was leaving the Drunken Soul Pavilion and was going to dance for the last time tonight as a gift.
"Mom, I don't need any background music today. I just need the drummer to beat the drums.”This was because Di Xuanxun had decided to perform the sword dance in the last dance of the Drunken Soul Pavilion.
"Ah-how are you going to dance without music? I've already asked someone to prepare it." The atmosphere couldn't be lifted without the accompaniment music!
Because I'm going to perform a sword dance tonight."
"You…you know how to wield a sword?" It required a certain level of martial arts foundation to be able to perform the sword dance well. Kaede had been in the Drunken Soul Pavilion for seven years, but he had never known that he knew martial arts! Could he be like this?
"Yes, I'll go change. You can go to the front and get ready to start.”
"Alright, alright." Qiu Niang believed that since Feng had said so, he was completely confident.
He changed into a pure black satin shirt with wide sleeves and a slanted collar, and a pair of loose trousers. His entire body was vigorous and neat, with a hint of mysterious melancholy.
Di Xuanxun came to the front of the stage." Everyone, I'll perform a sword dance today.”After saying that, he bowed slightly. He pulled out his long flexible sword, and before the dance even began, the carefree and unrestrained style that no one had ever seen before had already made everyone crazy.
"Young Master Feng! Don't go!"
" Young Master Feng-"
……
The shouts below the stage continued to ring out as the first person shouted Kaede's name.
The drums were beating on the stage, and the sword light was shining. He poured his Genuine Qi into the flexible sword, and the sharp and long Silver Soul and the condensed black merged into one. The dance was sometimes strong and sometimes soft, ancient and smooth like flowing water. It was not only unruly and wanton, but also carried a trace of loneliness and disappointment. Just like that, everyone's emotions were affected by each move, and they were completely immersed in it…
……
Di Xuanxun put her sword behind her back and placed her other hand in front of her chest as a sign of respect. The drums suddenly stopped, and the applause and cheers of the audience shook the sky.
"This is too exciting!"
"It's really too exciting!"
"Young Master Feng, you dance so well!"
……
Qiu Niang, who had seen countless people, was amazed by this scene. She was amazed by Di Xuanxun's dance, which was elegant and smooth. She was shocked that Kaede really knew martial arts. Although she didn't know martial arts, she knew a little about it. Kaede should not only know martial arts but also be an expert, someone who could use a flexible sword! That's good, that's good…
Di Xuanxun returned to her own space under everyone's admiring gaze. She sighed and placed her hands on the window frame. The moonlight outside the window was bright and clear, but there was a hint of coldness…The gentle and faint light shone on Di Xuanxun's beautiful face, making her seem even more desolate, lonely, and helpless. A new life…to walk alone…
