The Sixth Prince, Xiao Yunyi.
His temperament was calm and cold, his methods were harsh, and his shrewdness was hard to fathom.
This was the evaluation that most of the courtiers secretly had of him. This person could abandon his mother to climb up the social ladder, but he could also break his teeth and swallow his blood in order to achieve his own goals. This kind of temperament was simply a copy of Jin Sheng's in the past. When people saw him, they couldn't help but praise and respect him, respect and fear him. But tonight, such an arrogant prince's red eyes were filled with unbearable pain and entanglement, making people feel a little sorry for him.
Looking into his eyes, looking into the whirlpool that carried countless memories of their past, Ning Shu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The person in front of her had once filled her entire charming teenage years, changing her entire life, seven lifetimes, and seven lifetimes. He was a nail in her bones, a brand that she was destined to be unable to cut off, making her who she was now. Three hundred years was not a blink of an eye. Before she met Xiahou Qing, her temperament, her way of dealing with people, and even her intense hatred and resentment, her love for him, her inability to get what she wanted, and so on had all been imperceptibly influenced by him. If she hadn't met him, perhaps she wouldn't be who she was now. She could never deny this.
A slight sourness came to the tip of her nose, a moment of silence for the past. Ning Shu turned her head away and said softly, "In the past, I was young and ignorant, saying a lot of nonsense and doing a lot of foolish things that crossed the line, causing Your Highness to misunderstand. The past is like a flower that has left its petals, melting snow. No matter how beautiful it is, it can't be chased. Your Highness, we've both grown up. Why don't we each look forward? "
Xiao Yunyi's eyes turned even redder. "Look forward? You can look forward, but I'm still standing alone in the same place. How do you want me to look forward? Ning Shu, I want you to speak the truth today. Can you deny that you loved me! "
Faced with his question, she took a silent breath and turned back to look at him. She nodded. "I admit that I once admired you."
Under the moonlight, she let out a soft sigh, like a drop of dew falling into the soil along the veins of a leaf, mixed with a touch of sadness. "But that's all because I was young and frivolous, self-righteous when I didn't know my limits. In fact, we've never been the same kind of people. You have your open road, I have my single-plank bridge. What I yearn for is a simple and ordinary life, where we help each other in times of need, where two inches of fine black hair will turn white together. You, on the other hand, are destined to walk a glorious path to the top. The path was too narrow for two people to walk on. Even if you and I were to forcefully hold hands, one of us was destined to fall into the endless abyss. Since that's the case, why don't we part ways here? That way, we can be considered to have completed our past relationship. At least it won't be a complete mess, and in the end, it will only be filled with disgust. "
Xiao Yunyi's heart turned cold, as if a knife had pierced through his chest. That knife had left after stabbing him, leaving him with a large bloody hole. A gust of wind blew past him, making his limbs turn cold from the pain.
His Adam's apple bobbed hard, as he glared at Ning Shu angrily.
Ning Shu was touched by that gaze, and broke free from his grip. She turned to leave, but he pulled her into his arms with even more strength.
Behind her, right by her ear, he growled hoarsely, "What did I do wrong? Just because I'm not willing to give up fighting for that position for you? Do you know, even if I'm willing to give up, I'm already standing in such a position, standing halfway up the mountain. Even if I want to turn back, there's no way for me to go!
Shu 'er, why can't you think for me? Do you think Imperial Mother will leave behind a useless prince? There's still Eighth Royal Brother, Twelfth Royal Brother, and Fourteenth Royal Brother in the palace! They're still young, and they still have unlimited hope. If I'm useless, how can I live? "
