Chapter 104 Be honest with each other
At dawn, when the sky just turned pale, Luo Lingyue finally woke up from this nightmare. She opened her eyes suddenly, only to see Xiao Jinghan staring down at her, with an indescribable complex emotion in his eyes...
Luo Lingyue then realized that she had hugged Xiao Jinghan tightly last night. However, at this moment, she fell asleep with her head resting on Xiao Jinghan's thighs.
Luo Lingyue blushed as she slowly climbed up from Xiao Jinghan's body, her heart filled with endless shyness and embarrassment. She stammered as she explained, "Yesterday, I saw you had a high fever and you were in a daze. Then... you kept complaining about being cold. I really had no choice but to... hold you in my arms as I slept. But who knew... things would turn out like this!"
Xiao Jinghan looked at Luo Lingyue who was embarrassed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile: "Don't worry, I'm much better now. Thank you very much for last night. If you hadn't taken care of me, I'm afraid I would still be sick now." His voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying an invisible magic, which made Luo Lingyue's heartbeat involuntarily speed up a few beats.
The atmosphere at this moment became extremely ambiguous, and their eyes met, as if there was an electric current flowing in the air. Luo Lingyue hurriedly looked away, not daring to look at Xiao Jinghan again, for fear that she would be trapped in those deep eyes and unable to extricate herself. However, her heart had already been turbulent, and her originally calm state of mind was completely broken.
Luo Lingyue waved her hands in panic and stammered, "No...you're welcome! Ha...haha! Really, you're welcome!" After that, she hurriedly ran out of the cave like a frightened bird.
As she walked, Luo Lingyue thought to herself, "So much time has passed, why hasn't anyone found me yet? They're moving too slow!" Her pace became faster and faster, as if something terrible was chasing her from behind, and she wished she could escape from this place immediately.
Xiao Jinghan followed closely behind him and walked out of the cave in a hurry. Suddenly, he threw a question behind Luo Lingyue without any warning: "Are you still obsessed with Chu Chengli?"
This sudden question caught Luo Lingyue off guard. She subconsciously turned her head and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "What did you just say?" There was a hint of confusion in her voice.
Xiao Jinghan was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "In the second half of last night, you kept calling out the name 'Chengli'! You even...shed tears! Could it be that you are still thinking about him in your heart?"
Hearing this, Luo Lingyue's mouth twitched slightly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. She stared at Xiao Jinghan with wide eyes and retorted: "Cheng Li? He is a person who has a blood feud with me! How could I miss him? You must have heard it wrong!" Her tone was firm and resolute, as if she wanted to completely erase the so-called "Cheng Li" from the depths of her memory.
Xiao Jinghan stood there quietly, staring at her with deep and dark eyes, as if he wanted to see through her eyes to see her innermost thoughts. He spoke slowly, his voice low and long: "Emperor Wen will never allow you to marry Chengli, but you don't need to regard him as an enemy."
Luo Lingyue was stared at by his strange eyes, and she felt uncomfortable all over, and her scalp was numb. She frowned and tried to explain: "Maybe we are not talking about the same person, or maybe we are the same person! Hey, anyway, I can't explain it to you!"
Luo Lingyue took a few steps forward, then stopped and turned around, saying to Xiao Jinghan with a serious face: "Prince Xiao, please listen carefully! Now I have no thoughts about Crown Prince Chu Chengli. To be honest, I will definitely become his mortal enemy in the future. After all, our General's Mansion is loyal to the King of Qin, and the Crown Prince will do everything possible to eliminate the King of Qin. The foreseeable future will be full of difficulties. If Prince Xiao is afraid, it is not too late to ask His Majesty to cancel the engagement now!"
Xiao Jinghan pursed his lips, as if thinking about something, and finally decided to sit down first. He found a relatively flat stone, gently brushed off the dust on it, and slowly sat down. He turned his eyes to Luo Lingyue and said, "Miss Luo, are you interested in listening to me?" His voice was low and magnetic.
Seeing this, Luo Lingyue didn't act pretentiously and randomly picked another stone to sit on. She crossed her legs, propped her chin with her right hand, and responded with a smile: "Well, if that's the case, then tell me about it! Anyway, I have nothing to do at the moment, and no one else is here. Just treat it as a pastime." After speaking, she raised her beautiful eyes slightly, waiting for Xiao Jinghan to continue.
Xiao Jinghan smiled slightly, picked up a withered weed beside him, and played with it on his fingertips. His eyes were cast towards the distant sky, as if he wanted to penetrate the layers of clouds and reach the unknown other side. After a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Miss Luo, in fact, you and I have a common enemy. Since we have the same goal, why don't we become allies and work together?" He spoke sincerely and looked at Luo Lingyue with a firm gaze.
Hearing this, Luo Lingyue frowned slightly, but did not answer immediately. She thought to herself, wanting to hear how Xiao Jinghan would explain his plans and expectations for the future. So, she remained silent and waited for the other party to continue speaking.
Xiao Jinghan threw the broken stem of dry grass in his hand to the ground fiercely, his eyes were cold and firm, as if the broken stem of grass was the outlet for his anger and unwillingness. He looked up into the distance and said calmly: "My mother jumped off the pagoda in the Kunning Palace of the Queen Mother and ended her precious life. And my grandfather and father, who were brave and fearless and fearless and awe-inspiring in the world, died tragically after the poison took effect and were pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows from the enemy! They all died on the battlefield! What's hateful is that the enemy actually has a detailed layout of our Nanyi battlefield. If there is no one secretly involved, I'm afraid no one can believe it!"
There was no trace of emotion on Xiao Jinghan's face, as calm as a pool of stagnant water, but deep in his eyes was hidden endless sadness and determination. At this moment, he was like a bystander, calmly narrating a past event that had nothing to do with him.
After a moment of silence, he slowly continued, "The great event I am planning now may implicate the Nine Clans. However, the funny thing is, for me, whose family has long been destroyed and who is left alone, how can the Nine Clans be implicated? So now, have you made your decision?"
Hearing this, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. She looked at Xiao Jinghan sharply and asked fearlessly: "Do you want to ascend to the supreme throne?" There was a hint of imperceptible surprise in her voice, as if she was quite surprised by Xiao Jinghan's ambition.
