Chapter 81

I sat in front of the mirror and let the maids twist my hair back and forth. After a long time, my hair was tied up into a peacock bun, with gold silk inlaid with precious stones inserted in the middle, and tassels on both sides of the bun... The gold-thread white butterfly wears a flower-brocade dress, and after everything is done, a piece of translucent red gauze is covered on my head...

I sat on the bed anxiously and waited... Outside the sound of gongs and drums was joyful, I sat quietly in the room... After a while, Xi Niang came in and led me to the lobby... Chu Yibing stood in the center of the lobby in a red dress, Xi Niang helped me forward, and put my hand in Chu Yibing's...

We waited in the lobby for the emperor and empress to officiate the wedding... Time passed by bit by bit, and the emperor and empress were still gone... While everyone was waiting anxiously, a guard suddenly came to report, "Prince Ning, Prime Minister Zhao's whole house was tragically killed last night." Miemen, the emperor wants you to enter the palace immediately, today's wedding will be postponed"...

I was shocked when I heard that the whole house was destroyed...

"Ling'er, I'm sorry, I'll be back right away," Chu Yibing said and left the lobby with the guards

Looking at the back of Chu Yibing's departure, I know that we will not have the chance to become husband and wife...

"Sister, are you alright?" Ruohan asked worriedly seeing me sullen
"I'm fine, Ruohan, are you willing to leave the palace with your sister?" I asked with tears in my eyes

"Sister, what are you talking about? Aren't you going to marry King Ning?" Ruohan asked

"Ruohan, if I want to leave here, will you follow me?" I asked
"Wherever my sister goes, Ruohan will go, Ruohan will definitely follow her to the death." Ruohan said... I nodded in relief...

At dusk, I changed my dress and put on my usual white dress. I stood in front of the window and stared blankly...

Suddenly, the door was opened, and Chu Yibing walked in in a daze... Chu Yibing looked at me straight, with questioning and anger in his eyes...

"Did you know? Prime Minister Zhao's family was brutally wiped out, even the infant child was not spared, the methods were extremely cruel" Chu Yi said coldly

I didn't say anything but just stared at him blankly...

"You know about this, right? You already knew that Prime Minister Zhao would be killed last night, didn't you?" Chu Yibing asked
"Yes, I know" I replied

"Then why didn't you tell me?! Why did you keep it from me!" Chu Yibing roared
I said nothing..."Speak up! Do you know how much I want you to lie! Why don't you lie, as long as you say you don't know, I will believe you!" Chu Yibing roared angrily
"I don't want to lie anymore, I know everything, if you avenge them, do it" I said... There was an echo of 'pa', Chu Yibing slapped me on the face
"What is your life? Let me ask you, who did it?" Chu Yibing asked
"Yes, he is the hall master and the best killer of Nether Mountain" I said
"I asked you last night, were you sincere or acting?" Chu Yibing asked
"Yes, the master asked me to restrain you, and I know that those who acted last night were all masters. No matter how high your martial arts are, you will definitely be injured. I can't bear you to die." I said
"Until now you are still working for Youming Mountain. Do you have any humanity? You can deal with someone as good as Prime Minister Zhao! Let me ask you, where is the entrance of Youming Mountain!" Chu Yibing yelled at me angrily.

"I don't know" I replied firmly
"Say it quickly, or I'm really rude!" Chu Yibing pulled out his sword and pointed at me... I closed my eyes and said nothing... After half an hour of stalemate, Chu Yibing put away the sword and turned around... …

"Wait, do you still love me?" I asked
"Is it meaningful to say this now?" Chu Yi sneered

"If I really want to leave Youming Mountain and betray the Ghost King, will you still love me like before?" I said with tears in my eyes

Chu Yibing looked back at me and turned to leave... Tears welled up in my eyes... It was too late, you and I would never go back to the past, there would be nothing between us except memories...

When I really want to start my life again, it is often the time when many things cannot be turned back. My repeated deceptions broke his heart. Now I want to turn back, but he is so exhausted by me that he has no energy to love me again. ...

Chu Yibing and I are doomed to be a tragedy, since we have come to this point, why do we have to force us to stay... I promise you, I will really leave Youming Mountain and start a new life... If one day you forgive me, I hope we can return can be friends

I held Ruohan's hand and walked out of the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion with tears in my eyes... Looking back and looking at the courtyard, the familiar white figure on the attic of the lobby is still floating... It's a pity that it is so far away for me...

"Sister, stop crying, Ruohan will protect and take care of you, we don't need his pity!" Ruohan said, glaring at Chu Yibing on the attic
"Ruohan, don't blame him, it's my fault this time, I don't want anyone else" I said
"Sister, where are we going now?" Ruohan asked

"I'll take you home. No one knows there. It's a beautiful place, okay?" I said
"Where is my sister, that's the best place, I will follow my sister to protect my sister," Ruohan said

In the night, under the guidance of faint starlight, I took Ruohan's hand and disappeared in front of Ning Wang's mansion...

After a long absence, Wangqingju is still so beautiful, hidden in the green bamboo forest, with bead curtains and veils, like a fairyland, I led Ruohan into it...Under the wooden bridge, there are gurgling streams... …

"Miss, you are back." Yin Jian came out and said

"Well, I'm back," I said, "Que Yu, take Ruohan to the room to rest," I continued
"Miss, is something wrong, you..." Yin Jian asked hesitantly
"Yes, Chu Yibing knows, I don't have the face to stay any longer, so I'm back," I said lightly

"Miss, what are your plans in the future?" Yin Jian asked

"I've made up my mind. I don't want to kill any more people. I will take good care of the Yishui Chip, Wangjiang Tower and Yuxi Inn in my hand. As for you, you can stay if you want to. You can go anywhere if you don't want to. Stay strong," I said softly.

"Miss wants to betray the master?" Yin Jian asked in surprise
"That's right, I've had enough, I've paid off all my debts to him, and now I want to live freely," I said
"But isn't Miss still poisoned?" Yin Jian said

"Now I don't want to be afraid of life or death. I have already put life and death aside," I said coldly.

"This subordinate swears to follow Miss to the death," Yin Jian said.

"Yin Jian, thank you, well, I'm tired" I said and turned to leave...

In the depths of the bamboo grove, under the faint moonlight, a handsome young man in a light blue costume looked at Wangqingju with melancholy eyes... The young man sighed deeply and turned to leave...
