Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 254 Farewell
Whether Xie Yuanting is willing or not, Mu Liuchun will come to Xuanguang Hall every day.

Seeing his increasingly pale face, Xie Yuanting felt uncomfortable, and said coldly: "If you want to save me, you might as well think about how to save your own life first."

Mu Liuchun put down his sleeves, and said in his usual voice, "Fate is determined by God, as long as you can live."

"Fate is determined by God," Xie Yuanting snorted coldly, "If you want me to feel guilty for you because of this, then you'd better save yourself!"

"It's my duty to save you, why do you feel guilty?" Mu Liuchun lowered his eyes, "If you have to say guilt, you should say these two words to the empress."

Xie Yuanting choked on him, but the person in front of him was like a pool of stagnant water, no matter what he said, he would not respond.

Mu Liuchun put away her good things and got up to leave.

But at this moment, Xie Yuanting suddenly stopped him: "That day, the princess saw you at Foguang Temple, right?"

Mu Liuchun's footsteps paused, a glimmer of light flashed in his gloomy eyes, he neither admitted nor denied.

Seeing this, Xie Yuanting not only did not feel the joy of winning the round, but instead felt bitter, and continued: "I have stayed in the princess mansion for five years, and every time the eldest princess gets drunk, she will always say a name——"

"Qingshan." He fixedly looked at Mu Liuchun's thin and thin back, with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, "Xue Qingshan, a person who has been dead for seven years, has suddenly returned. Tell me, if the eldest princess Know, will you kill me first, or kill you first?"

The answer is self-evident.

Xie Yuanting was very aware of his position in the eldest princess's heart, the reason why he asked this question was probably because he wanted to ask for a break.

Mu Liuchun turned around slowly, her gaze was still peaceful, and she only said one sentence: "She won't know."

"You sure enough" he wanted to say more, but was interrupted by a voice from outside the hall——

"The Empress is here!"

Mu Liuchun glanced at him lightly, said nothing more, and walked out of the hall.

Xie Yuanting watched him leave indifferently, as if punching cotton with a fist, feeling extremely oppressed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about him, he could only silently swallow the breath back to his stomach.

On this side, the empress came in with Ling Youyao, and seeing him leaning against the bed, the empress thought that his injury had worsened, so she hurried forward and asked with concern: "A Yuan, why do you look so ugly? Is there something wrong? "

Xie Yuanting gathered his clothes and said, "Sister, I'm fine, so don't worry about me." After speaking, when he caught sight of Ling Youyao beside him, his eyes flickered involuntarily.

Ling Youyao knew what he was worried about, so she just pretended not to know him, and said with a smile: "I went to the palace today to visit the empress, and I heard that Mr. Xie was recuperating in the palace, so I stopped by to have a look."

Xie Yuanting secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Thank you, Princess, for your concern, I am fine."

But the queen asked suspiciously: "A Yuan, have you seen You Yao before?"

As soon as these words came out, both of them were taken aback.

Ling Youyao entered the palace today without wearing the imperial concubine's imperial uniform, nor did she bring any identification items, and her face was still somewhat immature.If someone doesn't recognize her, I'm afraid they will regard her as a concubine in the harem.

But Xie Yuanting knew that she was Princess Jing, which really made the queen curious.

"I've never seen it before," Xie Yuanting coughed twice with a guilty conscience, "Just now when my sister and the concubine came in together, there was no alienation and inferiority between concubines. Good friends, I think the only young woman who is married is Princess Jing."

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You have observed carefully."

Xie Yuanting smiled stiffly, not daring to say more, for fear of slipping up again.

Ling Youyao was also glad that the empress did not see the flaws. The empress did not know about the deer mountain extermination. If she was told that Xie Yuanting had been the head of the princess mansion for five years, she might faint on the spot.

The queen didn't have any doubts, she looked at Xie Yuanting's bloodless face, and said distressedly: "It's been so many days, why is your face still so pale? I'll ask someone to bring that ginseng tree over for you to mend it. Look at how thin you have become in these years outside."

Xie Yuanting held her hand and said: "Sister, my injury is fine, you are pregnant, so you don't need to visit me every day."

"What are you talking about, if you didn't come home all the year round, would I worry about you all day long?" The queen couldn't help but scold him, "Father was just talking in a moment of anger back then. I have been away from home for so many years. My father was seriously ill a few days ago, I sent people to look for you everywhere, and wanted you to go back to Lushan, but you seemed to be hiding from me on purpose, and no one could be found!"

When mentioning Lushan, Xie Yuanting's eyes flickered unnaturally, and said: "Sister, I know I was wrong. When I recover from my injury, I will go back and ask my father for my sin."

Hearing this, the queen's face softened, and she persuaded patiently: "I know that Lushan can't hold your heart, but you can't stay away for several years. Father said he didn't recognize you, but I still look forward to your return from the bottom of my heart.”

"You used to say that you were the best in martial arts and told me not to worry, but this time you have suffered such a serious injury."

The queen said, choking with sobs: "Do you know that when I saw you like that, my heart almost broke."

Seeing that her eyes were red, Xie Yuanting quickly said: "I'm sorry sister, this time I made you worry, don't be sad, I'm fine now, I plan to go back to Lushan in a few days."

Hearing that, Ling Youyao was a little surprised, the queen didn't know about Xie Yuanting's poisoning, but she knew that Mu Liuchun had been suppressing the poison in his body these days.

What's more, Lushan no longer exists, Xie Yuanting is leaving now, where is he planning to go?

Xie Yuanting noticed Ling Youyao's gaze, glanced at her silently, and then said to the queen: "Sister, I have been sorry to you and my parents all these years. When I return to Lushan this time, I will definitely make amends to my parents. No matter how my father beats and scolds me I, I am determined not to leave."

"Really?" The queen couldn't believe it.

"Well," Xie Yuanting nodded solemnly, "Sister, you have to take care of yourself in the palace alone, don't think too much, if there is a chance, I will go to the palace to see you again."

Hearing these words, the queen always felt that something was weird, but seeing his firm and determined eyes, her heart became more and more uneasy, as if she would never see him again if she let him go.

Xie Yuanting endured the sourness in his heart, and pretended to smile with a strong smile: "Sister, I lied to you about one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, my martial arts is not the best in the world." There was a smile on his lips, and there were small smiles in those peach eyes.

Suddenly, Ling Youyao seemed to see the graceful swordsman in white from before again.

The queen was amused by his childish words, but she has not yet agreed to his return to Lushan.But Xie Yuanting was not asking for her consent, but saying goodbye to her.

From the time she heard that Xie Yuanting was going back to Lushan, Ling Youyao guessed what he was going to do.

The revenge of Lushan's extermination must be avenged by someone, and this person can only be Xie Yuanting.

What Xie Yuanting said today is half true and half false.He wanted to go back to Lushan, to confess to his parents and make amends, and to be with his sister, but the fighting and screaming that night lingered in his mind like a nightmare.When he dreamed back at midnight, he would always break out in a cold sweat, and the darkness in front of his eyes was as thick as the night when Lushan was destroyed.

He didn't want to be rescued by Mu Liuchun, but he had to accept it, because only in this way could he avenge Lushan's family.

Xie Yuanting looked at the queen's caring and gentle face, his eyes flickered, and he became more and more determined in his heart's choice.

In fact, his martial arts is really not the best in the world, but he will be soon
