The emperor stood there quietly, his eyes cold and sharp, staring at the closed door of the Song Mansion.

The sky had become completely dark at this time. The cold wind mixed with drizzle blew towards people's cheeks all at once, as if it wanted to penetrate into the gaps between people's bones, making people feel a biting chill.

This coldness not only comes from the outside world, but also seems to be the despair and anxiety that surges from the bottom of my heart.

Xie Yunji had been inside for quite a while, but the door remained tightly closed, without any sound.

Xie Tan waited anxiously, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

What exactly is going on inside, what are they doing? Is it really a rekindled love?

Did she get back together with Xie Yunji?

This made Xie Tan feel as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and he felt as if he was being roasted on fire and the pain was unbearable.

Was all his enthusiasm and sincerity just wasted?

Although not much time had passed, Xie Tan felt as if the days were passing by like years. He thought he could not hold on any longer. It felt like a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

The emperor's anxious heart seemed to have infected the entourage around him.

Zhou Zhong covered his face and said, "Now that you are here, there is no point in us still wearing masks."

It would be better to just rush in.

But Mr. Xie didn't do anything wrong, and he was awarded the title of First-Class Grand Secretary. Why would you kill him?

How could Xie Tan not know this truth? But he would not be willing to accept it unless he came and saw it with his own eyes.

He was always at a loss when it came to dealing with her.

Meanwhile, inside the Song Mansion, Song Nihuan was still asking about ways to treat her illness without going to Yaowang Valley.

Xie Yunji's eyes fell on her slender white neck.

It was so thin that he could cut it off with one move.

He couldn't suppress the evil thoughts in his heart, he wanted to take her away, no matter where he went, he couldn't be separated from her!

Xie Yunji's eyes slowly focused in the dark night, and he secretly adjusted his breathing and internal strength. He had been taking medicine on time every day these days, but he could feel that his body was deficient and it would take a long time to recover.

With his current physical condition, he has a chance of winning against the Jinyiwei outside, but... he can't hold on for too long. He still has the secret guards, and that assassin organization has always been a threat to the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and he trusts the ability of the assassins trained there.

I just don’t know how many people Xie Tan can mobilize to kill him.

Xie Yunji estimated the disparity between the ambush outside and his own strength, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Xie Tan, you really can't keep your cool.

How long has he been back? They are so impatient that they are willing to kill him in Yunjing.

Yunjing is no ordinary person. Aren't you afraid of attracting criticism if you take action in public?

A smile suddenly appeared on Xie Yunji's face, which was both crazy and weird.

"If my brother goes to Yaowang Valley, how confident are you?" Song Nihuan said.

Xun Fang thought about it, stretched out his hand and gestured, "Fifty percent."

Song Nihuan took a deep breath. A 50% chance of success was already a huge hope for a dying man. But there was still another 50% chance...

In other words, Lan Zhi might never come back after he leaves.

She lowered her eyes and saw the handsome face of the sleeping young man, as pale as paper, his eyes tightly closed, and his body under the quilt was skin and bones. Even someone like her who didn't know any medicine could see that Lan Zhi's life was about to go out.

She sat down, holding the unconscious man's head to her chest, and said in a voice filled with regret and grief, "Lan Zhi, how did you become like this... You are my only relative..."

Listening to her words, Xie Yunji felt that the pain and regret in his heart could no longer be endured.

He came over and wanted to comfort her, but before he opened his mouth, she said coldly: "Get lost."

She finally knew the truth.

Disgusted with him.

Just as he imagined.

He had carefully concealed his own shortcomings, fearing that she would abandon him after seeing his true face.

It finally came true.

In just a short moment, despair, anger, and pain came over me, as if countless voices in my heart were shouting: She doesn't want you anymore!

The severe pain made him tremble involuntarily.

"You...must do this to me?" He spoke with difficulty, his low and hoarse voice filled with uncontrollable despair. "I have done wrong things before, but that was because at that time I, I didn't realize my feelings for you. People can change, Ni Huan, I..."

She interrupted him, "Stop talking."

Tears fell from the corners of Xie Yunji's eyes. He couldn't stand her disgust, so he grabbed her wrist and pulled her up out of control, "Look at me, look at me! Don't do this to me!"

Song Nihuan was shocked. Such a proud and dignified man finally collapsed in front of her.

"I don't believe you haven't loved me." His eyes turned red as he asked persistently, "Why did you fall in love with someone else in just two years?"

Song Nihuan silently pulled out her hand that he was holding tightly, looked at him with calm and sad eyes, and said, "I loved you."

"The man I love is gentle, upright, ambitious, and a modest gentleman as bright as the moon."

"The man I love, he would give me change to reward the servants, and he would buy my dowry himself. He taught me to respect myself and told me that I didn't need to please anyone."

"But the person I love is not you." She smiled helplessly, "It's just an illusion you created for me."

Xie Yunji looked at her sadly. He had always understood what she said.

She loved him, but not his dark side. To be exact, she loved the illusion he created for her.

The reason why she was in pain was simply because her illusion was shattered and she felt that she had given her love to the wrong person.

It was all just a dream, leaving behind only regret.

But now that she said it herself, he was still heartbroken and his emotions seemed to collapse in an instant.

He looked at her with suppressed pain in his eyes, his fingers turning white from being clenched in his sleeves. He stretched out his hand to touch her again, but as soon as he touched her sleeve, she pushed him away.

Xie Yunji staggered back a few steps. The bloody smell in his throat could no longer be suppressed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xun Fang, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, stepped forward and pressed a few acupuncture points on him. "What are you doing? You know that emotions should not fluctuate too much, but you still want to interrogate her like this? You don't take care of yourself, just die!"

Xie Yunji wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. Seeing her unmoved, he felt even more sad. He even wanted to ask her to look at him and not treat him so coldly...

"I have to talk about you, little girl." Xun Fang sighed, "There is an old saying that debts are paid when one dies. Master Xie died once for you. If it weren't for his master and his luck to meet me, he would have reported to the King of Hell long ago. I don't know what he did to make you like this, but killing is not the right thing to do... It's not easy to be a husband and wife, you..."

Xie Yunji waved his hand, "Stop talking."

"What do you mean he died for me once?" Song Nihuan said.

"I just said it, when he was in Guangling, he chose the Yijiang River for you! He thought you were dead, so he wanted to jump in and put an end to it all, and reunite with you in the underworld!" Xun Fang said as a matter of course, "Otherwise, do you think those few river workers could force him to jump into the river?"

Xie Yunji coughed in repressed voice, and he said bitterly: "Why did you say this to her? Do you want her to pity me and look at me again?"

"You deserve it." Song Nihuan's voice was emotionless. "I don't feel sorry for you."

In a direction he couldn't see, her eyes were red.
