Ling Wu lay quietly in Ouyang Xi's arms, listening to his heartbeat, and took a deep breath: "I won't leave, and you can't leave either."
Ouyang Xi frowned heavily: "Why?"
The loneliness in Ling Wu's smile was even worse: "Because you are not only mine, but also the Dongling Kingdom. As their emperor, you have to be responsible for your own civilians."
Ouyang Xi let go of Ling Wu and looked at her angrily: "Do you want the position of queen just like other women?"
"Then do you think we can just hand the world over to Ouyang Li?" Ling Wu raised her eyebrows and smiled: "If that's the case, I, the queen, don't have to do it."
Ouyang Xi pushed Ling Wu away a few steps and looked at her angrily.
His anger comes from the fact that Ling Wu is telling the truth, and sometimes the truth is the most helpless thing to say.
Staring into Ling Wu's eyes, Ouyang Xi almost gritted his teeth and forced out each word: "Are you so selfless? Or is it because you don't care about me at all?"
"You are wrong." Ling Wu reached out and took Ouyang Xi's hand, and chuckled: "Actually, I am selfish."
"If I leave with you now, I don't need to think about it to know that Ouyang Li is ruthless and vicious. Even if the Dongling Kingdom is not annexed by the neighboring country, the civilians will still rebel.
Ling Wu forced a smile: "If you see Dongling Kingdom disintegrated in Ouyang Li's hands in the future, you will regret it and even resent me, because you gave up the decision to take back the throne because of me. At that time,
Will you still love me?"
Ouyang Xi was suddenly speechless. He didn't know if one day, while he was full of resentment towards Ling Wu, he could still love her.
Ling Wu smiled calmly: "So I said, I am selfish because I don't want you to resent me."
She sighed softly: "Tonight may be the last peaceful night. If there are no accidents, when the new emperor ascends the throne tomorrow, the real killing will begin. Why should we still be here to worry about the future?"
She raised her eyes and smiled at Lingfei: "Didn't you say you were going to Zuixian Tower at first? Why don't we go now?"
