No pop-up ads, so refreshing! Thanks for your support! Sounds good to me ^_^... Chapter 104

  Liu Mo threw the token over, Nan Chengyao stretched out his hand to catch it, and also loosened his hands that were originally holding me.

  "The princess has handed over the matter to me and I have taken care of it. As for how to explain it to the third prince and what to do next, that is the princess's own problem."

  Ling Mo's smile was laced with undisguised disgust and ridicule as he gazed coldly at me and Nan Chengyao. After speaking, he didn't linger for another moment, turning around to leave directly, not even bothering to close the door behind him.

  I slowly straightened up from the south-facing window, and in fact, I hadn't expected Lian Luo to do this, but all of this was reasonable, so I couldn't blame her.

  After all, she threatened me unscrupulously before, and she was able to smoothly hand over "The Scent of the Other Shore" to my hands, I'm already deeply grateful to her.

  I turned to look at Nan Chengyao, he held the token in one hand, but didn't seem distracted or aware of anything else, just staring at me fixedly. The dark and profound eyes had no discernible emotions, not a word was spoken.

  "Just as Your Highness heard," I took a deep breath, looking straight into his eyes without evasion or reserve, and spoke word by word: "I asked Lian Mo to help me go to Qiantian Residence to retrieve Your Highness's token, and then use the token to enter the heavenly prison's death row to find Wei, and find an opportunity to hand over a medicine called 'Bi'an Sheng Xiang' to him."

  "The fire at Guimoge was also set by you." He looked at me and spoke, his tone questioning but his words already a statement.

  I nodded, I never thought I could deceive him, nor did I want to say more about this matter. I continued to speak: "The fragrance of the other shore, after taking it, can make a person breathe almost nothing for a day and night, his body stiff, like death. But after a day and night, the effect of the medicine will naturally dissipate, and the person who took it will be no different from ordinary people. I plan to have him take this pill tomorrow night, but I don't dare confirm whether the Emperor will not want to cut him a few times before letting go. I beg Your Highness to help me, don't let such a thing happen, I just want him to live."

  "If I don't come tonight, or if I'm late, have you ever thought that you might be burned alive in this Returning Ink Pavilion?" He didn't respond to my previous words, still gazing deeply at me, with a hint of unnoticeable cold anger and tension hidden in his tone.

  I calmly looked back at him and said, "What's the difference? If I couldn't save Rong, it wouldn't make a difference if I lived alone in this world."

  His eyes suddenly turned cold: "Are you alone? Don't you even care about your child?"

  I suddenly felt like laughing and I really laughed out loud, but my eyes were scorching with pain: "Until now, Your Highness still asks me such a thing, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

  His eyes deepened slightly, and after a moment's thought, he seemed to understand the meaning of my words. He reached out and grasped my shoulders, speaking slowly: "It wasn't what you think it was, that day was an emergency..."

  "Your Highness, I don't want to hear your excuses," I interrupted him: "I just need you to promise me that after Zhan dies, you won't let anything happen to him, that's enough!"

  His eyebrows suddenly settled on a hint of fatigue, the dark light at the bottom of his eyes was so heavy that it almost suffocated people: "Qing Er, it turns out you never believed me."

  I looked at him, laughing until I cried: "Your Highness wants me to believe you? After you destroyed my home, after you showered Du Ruyin with favor, after you didn't want this child, after you hit me in front of so many people——Your Highness, you overestimated me, I'm not as strong as you imagined."

  His dark eyes showed a hint of turmoil, and he suddenly reached out to grasp my shoulders again, his tone taking on a slightly urgent quality: "Qing'er, if I told you that I never wanted this child, and that I've never loved anyone else, would you believe me? In the matter of the rebellion in the Eastern Palace and the Mu Rong family, I am not entirely innocent, but it's not what you think. Are you willing to listen to my explanation?"

  "Your Highness," I said, closing my eyes wearily and shaking my head. "Now the only thing I want is to be able to live on, as for other things, I no longer care about them, really don't care about them anymore."

  After a long time, he slowly loosened his grip, stood up and fell down, the token dropped to the ground and broke into two halves.

  He didn't say anything more and walked out of the door.

  "Your Highness hasn't agreed with me yet." I said in a low voice, looking at his back.

  "He paused for a moment, his voice laced with a hint of fatigue and indifference: 'If you want me to agree, from now on, never do something like this again.'"

  After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for me to respond and left directly. His straight back disappeared into the night, and for some reason, it seemed to carry a hint of desolation.

  I lay in bed with a sense of emptiness at heart, and it was naturally impossible to fall asleep, so I kept my eyes open until dawn.

  When Shuying came in to help me wash and dress, her eyes were red and swollen from crying: "Miss, you scared me to death. They all blocked my way and wouldn't let me go in, saying the fire was too big and going in would only mean adding another life... But if something happened to you, Miss, what's the point of Shuying still being alive? I couldn't break free from them... Later, San Gong came down. I've never seen him like that before. No one dared to stop him. He didn't say a word and just charged into the fire scene alone, not knowing where you were, so he could only start searching from the first floor. At that time, a burning beam almost fell on his back, and it was only a little short of hitting him... Zhu Yu's eyes almost fainted..."

  "Alright, Shuying," I closed my eyes: "It's all in the past now."

  She sniffled, nodded vigorously: "Fortunately, Miss is fine, but from now on, Shadow will not leave your side even half a step."

  I gently hugged her and softly said: "Silly girl."

  After I finished dressing and washing up, I walked out of the side hall and saw the desolate scene after the big fire, with a complicated and indescribable feeling in my heart.

  "Your Highness, the queen's chambers are now uninhabitable. I have tidied up He Feng Pavilion and although it can't compare to Gui Mo Ge in terms of comfort, it is still a quiet and serene place. Please temporarily put up with some inconvenience for a few days until the repairs at Gui Mo Ge are complete, then we will invite Your Highness to move back."

  I nodded and took Pei Ying into the house to pack up my belongings. Actually, there was nothing much to pack, most of my things had been destroyed in that big fire.

  I thought it wouldn't be long, but I didn't expect that by the time we entered He Feng Xuan, the sky had gradually darkened.

  My heart is increasingly unsettled, but I also understand that at this critical juncture, I absolutely cannot act rashly.

  I lay in bed, unable to sleep, and finally endured until dawn. I forced myself to get up and dress as usual, read books and take a stroll, even though my heart was already filled with anxiety.

  Until almost noon, Shu Ying rushed into my room with a "wow" and cried: "Miss, everyone outside said that Young Master Lin had hanged himself in prison last night..." Chapter 104

  Liu Mo threw the token over, Nan Chengyao stretched out his hand to catch it, and thus loosened his hands that were originally holding me.

  "The princess has handed over the matter to me and I have taken care of it. As for how to explain it to the third prince and what to do next, that is the princess's own problem."

  Ling Mo's smile was laced with undisguised disgust and ridicule as he gazed coldly at me and Nan Chengyao. After speaking, he didn't linger for another moment, turning around to leave directly, not even bothering to close the door behind him.

  "Just as Your Highness heard," I took a deep breath, looking straight into his eyes without evasion or concession, and spoke word by word: "I asked Lian Mo to help me go to Qiantian Residence to retrieve Your Highness's token, and then use the token to enter the heavenly prison's death row to find Lin, and find an opportunity to hand him a medicine called 'Bi'an Sheng Xiang'."

  "The fire at Guimoge was also set by you." He looked at me and spoke, his tone questioning but his words already a statement.

  I nodded, I didn't think I could deceive him anyway, and I didn't want to say more about this matter. I continued to speak: "The fragrance of the other shore, after taking it, can make a person breathe almost nothing for a day and night, his body stiff, like death. But after a day and night, the effect of the medicine will naturally dissipate, and the person who took it will be no different from ordinary people. I plan to have him take this pill tomorrow night, but I'm not sure if the Emperor will insist on cutting him a few times before he's willing to let go. I beg you, Your Highness, don't let such a thing happen. I just want him to live."

  "If I don't come tonight, or if I'm late, have you ever thought that you might be burned alive in this Returning Ink Pavilion?" He didn't respond to my previous words, still gazing deeply at me, with a hint of unnoticeable cold anger and tension hidden in his tone.

  I calmly looked back at him and said, "What's the difference? If I couldn't save Rong, it doesn't matter if I live in this world alone."

  His eyes suddenly turned cold: "Are you alone? Don't you even care about your child?"

  I suddenly felt like laughing and I really laughed out loud, but my eyes were scorching in pain: "Until now, Your Highness still asks me such a thing, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

  I looked at him, laughing until I cried: "Your Highness wants me to believe you? After you destroyed my home, after you indulged Du Ruyin with extreme favoritism, after you didn't want this child, after you hit me in front of so many people——Your Highness, you overestimated me, I'm not as strong as you imagined."

  His dark eyes showed a hint of turmoil, and he suddenly reached out to grasp my shoulders again, his tone taking on a slightly urgent quality: "Qing'er, if I told you that I never wanted this child, and that I've never loved anyone else, would you believe me?

  "Alright, Shu Ying," I closed my eyes: "It's all in the past now."

  She sniffled, nodded vigorously: "Fortunately, Miss is fine, but from now on, Shadow will not leave your side even half a step."

  I gently hugged her and softly said: "Silly girl."

  After I finished dressing and washing up, I walked out of the side hall and saw a scene of devastation after the big fire, with complex emotions that were hard to express.

  "Your Highness, the Queen's chambers are now uninhabitable. I have tidied up He Feng Pavilion and although it may not be as comfortable as Gui Mo Pavilion, it is still a quiet and peaceful place. Please temporarily stay there for a few days until the repairs at Gui Mo Pavilion are complete, then we will invite Your Highness to return."

  I nodded and took Pei Ying into the house to pack up my belongings. Actually, there was nothing much to pack, most of my things had been destroyed in that big fire.

  Until almost noon, Shu Ying suddenly burst into my room, crying: "Miss, everyone outside is saying that Young Master Lin committed suicide in prison last night..."

  Still remember the shocking swan's reflection (harem)
