"Are you alright?" Ling Ye quickly ran over to help me up. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I knew you didn't know how to ride a horse, but I still forced you.”Ling Ye wiped away the tears on my face as he blamed himself. His hands were warm, melting the ice in my heart like fire.
"Haha, it's fine." I smiled at him.
"Your smile is uglier than crying." Ling Ye patted my head and smiled foolishly.
He gently picked me up. I cried out in surprise, but he forcefully pressed me back down." Be good, quickly check if you're injured. Do you want me to take a look for you?”Ling Ye's words were not as frivolous as Xuan Li's. It was just faint and felt very real and comfortable.
I was hugged by him just like that. This feeling was very familiar. At that moment, his face was so clear. He actually had the same eyes as his uncle, bright with concern. That side profile was well-defined. Xuan Qi. I silently recited this name that was familiar yet unfamiliar to me.
It was as if there were only the two of us now. I looked at Ling Ye. I didn't know how long I had walked for. The scenery beside me kept changing. The horse farm gradually disappeared from my sight, replaced by tall palace walls and yellow glazed tiles.
"Put me down. I'm not injured.”I suddenly felt my situation and raised my head. Ling Ye hesitated for a moment before finally putting me down.
"Then I'll send you back." Ling Ye was still worried and held my hand.
"It's okay, really. Go back, go back.”I gave him a big smile and gently let go of his hand." I'll watch you leave.”I took out my handkerchief and waved at him.
Ling Ye didn't say anything. He looked at me for a moment before turning around to leave. I exhaled, adjusted my clothes, and changed my expression.
"Come out, Your Highness." I said coldly. My tone was abnormally cold.
Xuan He slowly walked out from the fake mountain at the side. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking extremely domineering.
"This servant pays her respects to your highness." I saw that he had already put on the posture of a prince, so I naturally did not dare to neglect him.
"You still know your identity, hmph.”Looking at my fake fawning, Xuan He waved his sleeves angrily. He slowly approached me, his eyes filled with anger.
"What do you want?" His tone was threatening as his hand gripped my jaw tightly.
I endured the pain and stared at him.
"You were clearly with me that day. Why did you bring him here? You don't believe this king?”Once again, my jaw was gripped tightly. I gritted my teeth and said," Hehe, news really spreads fast. You didn't raise that little Lin Zi in vain.”I thought of the little eunuch who delivered the letter to Cining Palace that day and felt a wave of disdain in my heart.
"I don't dare to torture your highness." I didn't stand on ceremony anymore. I forcefully shook off his hand on my chin and said fiercely," You don't have to worry about my matters.”Her heart was filled with anger and disgust. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by him.
"Didn't you want to ride a horse? This king will take you." After saying that, he pulled me back. His strength was too strong and I couldn't fight back." Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of being seen?" I almost roared out in a low voice. This is the Imperial Palace, how can you be so ridiculous?
However, any resistance was futile. I was pulled into a remote alley by Xuan He. I knew that this was not the way to the horse farm.
"What are you doing?" I suddenly felt a little scared. The man in front of me wanted to pull me like crazy. His ankle was obviously red and swollen. I shouted in pain," Let go.”However, he seemed to turn a deaf ear to me. Gradually, a dilapidated palace suddenly appeared in front of me. I saw the almost collapsed wall and was a little afraid. Next to it were two withered old locust trees. The trunks had cracked due to lack of water for many years. The tree marks were like wounds. I swallowed my saliva. The surrounding air seemed to have a strange atmosphere. I seemed to be able to hear waves of ghost cries and wolf howls.
Xuan He's back suddenly became blurry. I was extremely afraid, but the pain in my hand made me realize the truth of reality.
Suddenly, Xuan He stopped in front of the dilapidated palace. He suddenly looked at me with pain in his eyes.
"This Cold Palace is the place where she died unjustly.”Xuan He's eyes were filled with anger and pain. I didn't know who he was talking about, but I could feel her pain.
"It was me. I was the one who sent her to Imperial Father's side. I was the one who killed her.”Xuan He's voice choked. He suddenly hugged me tightly, tears falling heavily on my shoulders.
"I'm sorry. " I'm sorry…" He repeated these three words over and over again, as if he was talking to her, but also to me.
"I'm so scared, so scared. When I first saw you, I knew you were back. You had the same smile as her. You were both so naive, but why did I still look like a demon? Why did I let you in?”He said all of this in pain, and I suddenly realized that he was actually talking to me.
I completely lost my mind and could only let him cry in my arms like a child. I never knew that he was like this.
