The two were silent, bitterness spreading in their mouths, and he had a lot to say to her.

In the end, he just asked a heavy question, "Yuer... why?"

"Revenge." Her pupils turned pale as she uttered these two words woodenly.

"You know, assassinating the emperor is a capital crime. Even if you succeed, you won't survive." The anger was swallowed by sadness, and the pain turned into a whirlpool that swept over him.

He didn't understand why she did that.

Her eyes with thick eyelashes drooped slightly, and after hesitating, she looked at him again, "I don't want to live."

"Yuer! Why?!"

She had a bitter and bland smile on her lips the whole time. "Isn't that just right? That way, everything can be over."

He could no longer hold back and hugged her tightly in his arms, "Please... don't do this, please! Come back with me, I can make up for my mistakes, I definitely can."

She was forced into his arms, the pain of suffocation finally reduced to a sentence.

"Yan Qing, he knows everything. Be prepared to face him. I...failed."

She couldn't kill Xiao Yanzhou, which meant that she couldn't get Yan Qing's only love, and she failed.

He hugged her again and again. Now he just wanted her to go back with him. As long as she was by his side, he could solve everything.

"Yu'er, please don't leave me, okay? Please... I was wrong, I did everything wrong, I can't live without you, I'll be scared."

She had clearly decided to give up, so why did her empty heart still feel something?

"I promise, I won't die."

"Let's go back."

She pushed him away suddenly and turned away.

After she left, no matter how he called out to her from behind, she didn't respond.

He knew that she just didn't want to see him.

He waited. He remembered that Yu'er had waited for him many times. Now, it was his turn.

Day and night alternated, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The seriously injured Xiao Yanzhou has not yet woken up. He has been waiting outside the house for two days, and no matter who comes to persuade him, he remains unmoved.

"Princess, His Highness has fainted, and the guards have already taken Him away." He Yi reported the situation to her.

"Okay." She who was sitting next to him just responded casually.

He Yi looked into her eyes, which were so cold that there was no trace of blood in them.

He didn't understand. Since she risked her life to kill His Majesty in order to avenge His Highness, she didn't care about anything now that His Highness had fainted outside.

What kind of woman is she?

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yanzhou finally woke up on the bed.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her lying on the bed with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

It feels really good to be able to see her after opening my eyes.

Was it the result of his winning the bet? He bet that Xiaoyu would not want him to die, that Xiaoyu would be soft-hearted towards him.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek. Her warm skin and slightly trembling eyelashes were so cute that he couldn't let go.

If only it could always be like this, what a happy thing it would be.

Half asleep and half awake, she seemed to feel the touch of her cheek. She slowly raised her head, rubbed her eyes lazily, and found that the person who had woken up on the bed was looking at her with a smile.

"Brother Zhou..."

"Has Xiaoyu always been with me?"

She came to her senses and nodded, "Are you okay? I'll go get the imperial physician."

The imperial physician came in quickly to check on him and confirmed that he was fine.

He signaled everyone to leave, he just wanted to be alone with her.

"Brother Zhou, does it hurt?"

He smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt."

"Why didn't Brother Zhou fight back?" She knew that he was deliberately letting her go.

"Xiao Yu wants my life, I'll give it to you."

"Very stupid."

"Haha, isn't Xiao Yu the same? He ran over here stupidly without any plan or preparation."

He even felt fortunate, fortunate that he won the bet, fortunate that Xiao Yu didn't really want him to die.

She lowered her eyes and said nothing.

I don't want him to die, but I can't maintain the status quo.

"Xiao Yu...you hate me, right?" There was some hesitation in his words. He seemed afraid that she would hate him.

She pursed her lips, "Do I have the right to hate you?"

"I hate you for ruining Yan Qing's happiness, and I hate you for wanting to ruin everything for Zhao Wanqiao, but the hope I lost was not because of you. In the final analysis, everything about them has nothing to do with me."

Tears sparkled in her pupils, and her deep despair made her look like she was about to break.

"Xiao Yu..." He reached out and held her hand, feeling extremely distressed, "What he can't give you, I can!"

Wiping away the tears that had not yet fallen from her eyes, she said, "Brother Zhou, didn't you give the order? I want to kill you, and it's a capital crime."

Yes, from the moment she came in, she never thought about leaving alive.

He struggled to sit up, and seeing this, she hurried forward to help him up.

"As long as Xiaoyu can be happy, everything will be fine." He caressed her cheek with heartache. It turned out that she came here to die yesterday.

"Brother Zhou, I don't understand why we have to get rid of them?"

He did not hide anything, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Xiao Yanqing's father knows some secrets. If I don't act in advance, then he will act in time."

secret…

It seems that Brother Zhou also played a role in the death of the late emperor.

"We kept Yan Qing and Wen Shu because they are useful?"

"Correct."

She pondered in silence, and it was no different from what she thought.

"Xiao Yu, I survived, can you give me a chance?"

She was slightly stunned, "Brother Zhou should take good care of your injuries first."

Seeing that she seemed to be about to leave, he pulled her hand tightly.

She leaned over and fell directly into his arms, pressing on his injured body.

"Brother Zhou! Your injury!" She wanted to break free, but he held her tightly.

"Xiao Yu cares about me, doesn't he? Xiao Yu doesn't want me to die. You gave him so many chances, why can't you give me one chance?"

"I tried. I thought I could give in as long as you were happy, but I found that I couldn't do it."

She was silent for a long time, "Brother Zhou, can you give me some time?"

Hearing her voice, he was secretly delighted, "Did Xiaoyu agree?"

Seeing her embarrassed expression, he didn't want to force her anymore and rubbed her head.

"Okay, that's okay, I'll wait."

He looked at the wound on her hand, "Is Xiao Yu seriously injured? Who was the killer that day?"

He was ordered to investigate but there were no clues.

Seeing this, she told him what happened that day.

"Poisoned?!" A cold light suddenly appeared in those gentle pupils.

"Well, I thought I was let off that day, but I didn't expect it to be confirmed. I would definitely die."

"Don't worry, Brother Zhou will definitely find out."

We must find out who wants to kill her!

She nodded and said nothing more.

Next, she stayed here with him for nearly ten days.

After Xiao Yanqing recovered, he came a few more times, and the last time he was also supported by Qian Yun.

And she never saw him again.

No one knew her reasons. All we knew was that she lived her life as usual, didn't talk much, and often stared at one place in a daze.

After making sure everything was alright, she left, her whereabouts unknown and no one could stop her.
