At night, in the east courtyard, a woman in white clothes with loose hair stood in the flower garden in the middle of the courtyard. Her mouth opened and closed as if she was saying something. If one listened carefully, one could hear a small voice. It was the sound of singing.
At this moment, a servant girl ran out of the room with clothes in her hands. She knelt beside the woman and cried as if she was asking for something. However, the woman did not seem to see or hear anything. She maintained her original posture and hummed as if everything here had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that the woman was ignoring her, the servant girl kneeling on the ground cried even harder.
"Miss, just wear a cloak! Xing 'Er's face was already covered in tears. Her young miss, the happy young miss from before, would never come back. Now, the person standing in front of her was filled with only sadness and heartache.
She didn't know what to do. When Master and Madam came, Miss was still asleep. Perhaps she was too tired! However, ever since Miss woke up, she had been standing in this flower bed for an entire day and night. She did not eat, drink, or move, like a body without a soul.
What was she going to do? Only then would her young miss be like before, smiling at her, teasing her, even if it meant beating her or scolding her! As long as Miss could still be as happy as before, she was willing to do anything.
Seeing her kneeling on the ground and hearing her crying, Chang Guo 'er felt a sharp pain in her heart. In this world, she was the only one who treated her sincerely, and only she would follow her without regrets. She knew that her current state would make her sad, but she just didn't want to move. She just wanted to stand in the garden and look at the sky. She wanted to look at her original world through the sky and remember Jiaqi, who had died because of her.
She felt heartache and hatred whenever she thought of Jiaqi. She was her only relative in this world, but she died because of her, killed by Xuanyuan Jingxuan. How could she not feel heartache and hate?
She, Chang Guo 'er, swore to Tianqi that she would never forgive him, never.
In the dark, Xuanyuan Jingxuan looked at the sad Chang Guo 'er and regretted his bet with Huang Jiaqi.
"Leave, you are not welcome here." Chang Guo 'er didn't even look at Xuanyuan Jingxuan as she stood in the flowerbed. She didn't even want to look at him.
"Are you so cruel to this king that you don't even bother to look at me.”
Hearing Xuanyuan Jingxuan's question, Chang Guo 'er replied expressionlessly,""Yes, I hate you." Towards him, she didn't even bother to give him an expression.
Although he knew that she hated him, his heart still ached when he heard her say it herself. He asked,"How much hate?"
"I hate it, I hate it very much, I hate it very much.”
"Then how much hate do you have?" Xuanyuan Jingxuan asked again.
Chang Guo 'er turned to Xuanyuan Jingxuan and said seriously,""As wide as the sky is, infinitely wide, as big as the earth is, infinitely big. My hatred for you is like the infinitely wide sky and earth. Even if the earth shakes and the sky shakes, even if the universe is destroyed, my hatred for you will not weaken, as always.”
Thinking of the conversation between him and Chang Guo 'er last night, Xuanyuan Jingxuan kept asking himself if he was wrong. If he hadn't made this bet with Huang Jiaqi, perhaps they would still be as respectful as before. At least, they wouldn't treat him like an enemy. Looking at the hatred in her eyes, his heart still hurt. He had never been so helpless in all his years on the battlefield. What should he do to make her accept him?
Since the bet had already begun, since he had already started, then he should not regret it and should not regret it. If he had to do it, he had to do it to the end. He had to use his dominance to win her heart. This was his initial decision and his only choice now.
Xuanyuan Jingxuan glanced at Chang Guo 'er again before turning around and leaving the east courtyard.
Watching Xuanyuan Jingxuan leave, Shang, Li, Yin, and Mo looked at each other. They really didn't understand his highness. If his highness loved the East Princess Consort so much and even asked them to protect her in the dark, why did he still treat the East Princess Consort like that?
Chang Guo 'er turned her head to look at the place where Xuanyuan Jingxuan had left. She felt that someone was watching her. She thought about it and laughed at herself. Xuanyuan Jingxuan had probably sent someone to monitor her!
Three days and three nights. Chang Guo 'er had already stood there for three days and three nights without eating, drinking, or moving. She was like a pillar that stood tall in front of the mountain, but everyone could see that she was about to collapse. With her strong willpower, she had already held on for a long time. Her thin body was already swaying a little, but she still did not listen to Xing 'er's advice. She stood in the flowerbed that she had occupied for three days, motionless.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Jingxuan, who was standing in the dark, finally couldn't stand it anymore. He walked forward and said angrily,""How long do you want to stand here? Are you mourning for Huang Jiaqi? Or are you resisting this king?"
She ignored him and ignored him. She treated him as air and continued to look at the sky.
"What's the use of just looking at the sky? This king is telling you, this king can kill whoever he wants, and no one can control it. Even if you anger this king, this king will still kill you.”
"Then kill me!"
"What?" Chang Guo 'er's words made Xuanyuan Jingxuan even angrier. His face turned the color of a pig's liver and he said coldly,""Do you think this king doesn't dare? Do you think this king doesn't dare to kill you?"
"I didn't think that way. You said it yourself. If you want to kill me, then kill me.”Chang Guo 'er still didn't look at him. It was as if she was talking to the air, without any expression. After she finished speaking, she felt that it wasn't enough. She turned to Xuanyuan Jingxuan, smiled, and continued,""When did the famous bloodthirsty Xuan Wangye, who only recognizes his emotions and not people, become so wishy-washy?”
" You..." Xuanyuan Jingxuan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. That's right, he was a person who didn't know who he was. Since she had already said so, it would be a waste of her praise if he didn't do so. Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Jingxuan waved his hand and Shang, Li, Yin, and Mo Lingkong appeared in the east courtyard.
Chang Guo 'er laughed mockingly at the sudden appearance of the four of them. She had long known that someone was watching her, but she had not expected it to be the four of them. He really thought too highly of her.
Seeing Chang Guo 'er's mocking smile, the anger in Xuanyuan Jingxuan's heart deepened. What kind of expression was that? She actually dared to laugh at him and said indifferently,""Capture wangfei and send her to the Cold Palace.”
"What?" At this moment, Xing 'er came out of the room with the food that she had prepared for Chang Guo' er. Although she knew that Chang Guo 'er would not eat it, she still kept preparing. When she was about to bring it out, she heard that His Highness was going to arrest her and send her to the Cold Palace. She was so scared that she forgot that she was still holding the food in her hand. She let go of the tray in her hand and the food fell to the ground. She ran to Xuanyuan Jingxuan and knelt down to beg,"Wangye, I beg you, please don't treat miss like this. You can punish me however you want, please don't treat miss like this! Your highness, I beg you, wuwuwu…"
She didn't know why his highness would suddenly be so cruel to the young miss. First, he made such a bloody scene for the young miss to see, and now he wanted to throw the young miss into the cold palace. Although this cold palace wasn't as desolate as the palace, no one could accept it! Not to mention the young miss who had been doted on since she was young.
Xuanyuan Jingxuan didn't even look at Xing 'er, who was kneeling on the ground, tugging at the hem of his clothes and begging him. He stared at Chang Guo' er's face, wanting to see any strange expression on her face, even if it was just for a moment!
He looked at her for a long time, but he was disappointed. She was still expressionless and indifferent as usual.
Looking at Shang, Li, Yin, and Mo who were still in a daze, Xuanyuan Jingxuan was burning with anger. He angrily waved Xing 'Er, who was kneeling beside him, away and said,""What are you waiting for? Hurry up and send her to the Cold Palace."
"Yes." The four Shadow Guards finally recovered. They did not hear wrongly. His Highness wanted to send the Princess Consort to the Cold Palace, so they carried Chang Guo 'er and walked towards the Cold Palace. They walked very slowly, hoping that His Highness would change his mind, but in the end, they were disappointed. When they disappeared at the entrance of the east courtyard, His Highness still did not say anything.
Xing 'er followed behind Chang Guo' er and chased after her, shouting,"" Be careful, Miss is very weak now…"
Later, he would say,"Be gentle…"
After a while, he said,"Be gentle, you guys. If you hurt Miss, I won't let you off."”
Shang, Li, Yin, and Mo were annoyed to death, thinking, Why is this girl so annoying! He really didn't know how the East Princess Consort had endured it.
Looking at their backs as they left, Xuanyuan Jingxuan felt a stab of pain in his heart. He thought that she would beg him. Even if she didn't beg him, she should at least have a different expression! However, her expression did not change at all. Other than those two mocking smiles, she did not even look at him. This made his self-esteem suffer a great insult. This was also a great insult to him.
She thought to herself that it seemed like she should go to the Cold Palace to reflect on herself.
