He stumbled back half a step, blank for a moment and then collapsed.
Hua Shang in the outer hall seemed not to have expected Feng Yao to say this, what happened in the past, what happened in the past...
"Who cares about you!" She turned away angrily, with unspeakable pain in her eyes.
"Everything I am doing now is to torture you and make you miserable for the rest of your life!" She hated him forever!
"So," Feng Yao took a breath and said very softly, "I will not leave here, no matter if I am atonement or if I suffer all kinds of torture."
Even if he regains his freedom one day, he still has to pay back what he owes her.
Hua Shang is the only person Feng Yao owes in this life.
With just one word from her, he could die willingly.
"...As for Qin'er." He was left helpless and clinging to the beautiful dreams of the past, "She does not belong here. Yesterday was my farewell to her."
Where will he leave?
There are sins here that he cannot wash away.
The harem has always been a ruthless place, with the souls of injustice floating around, and the endless sadness coming from every inch of soil under the ground.
…
I don’t know when Feng Yao left. When Hua Shang returned to the inner hall, the woman was already defeated as she thought.
Sitting stiffly on the dark floor tiles with a cold glow, like a lifeless doll.
"How?" Hua Shang walked up to her with a victor's attitude, "No matter how good you are at pretending, this place has already changed. Feng Yao, Feng Ruohen, and the entire palace, Fengdu City, don't you
It’s time to come back, Helan Qin’er!”
She no longer knew how to refute.
It turns out that he traveled thousands of miles and worked hard to come back just to end a dream that was already riddled with holes.
She didn't have the energy to think.
I couldn't even say the words 'I want to go' or 'I want to leave'.
Is it really...over?
She didn't even have the courage to go out and confront Feng Yao in person. Maybe, just like yesterday, he knew she was here.
So those words were actually sincere words of advice and persuasion to her.
