The coffins of the emperor and the empress have been placed in the imperial mausoleum, and tomorrow will be the enthronement ceremony of Xuan Ningxuan.
Three days ago, Lin Ruihan disappeared without any reason. Xuan Ningyi had an unpleasant premonition in his heart. Tomorrow would be Xuan Ningxuan's coronation ceremony. Xuan Ningyi knew that after tomorrow he would no longer be the Fourth Prince.
Xuan Ningyi came to Murong Jingwan's bedroom with a solemn expression, but Murong Jingwan seemed to have expected Xuan Ningyi to come, and sat quietly on the chair to wait.
"Jingwan, tomorrow is Xuan Ningxuan's enthronement ceremony. Let's leave together tomorrow while he is unable to separate himself!" Xuan Ningyi held Murong Jingwan's hand and said seriously.
Looking at Xuan Ningyi with nostalgia, Murong Jingwan wanted to hide his appearance in her heart.
"Why don't you say anything? Are you shaken?" Xuan Ningyi looked at Murong Jingwan worriedly, fearing that she would regret it again.
Shaking her head gently, not wanting to make him sad again, Murong Jingwan gave Xuan Ningyi a reassuring smile.
With Murong Jingwan's answer, Xuan Ningyi suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing from Murong Jingwan's bedroom.
"Jingwan, where is Lian'er? It seems like you haven't seen her these past few days?" Xuan Ningyi finally discovered that Shui Lian'er was missing from Murong Jingwan's side.
"I asked her to leave. It would be inconvenient for her to follow us." Murong Jingwan lowered her head and said calmly.
Xuan Ningyi suddenly realized it and said with an embarrassed smile: "Jingwan, I'm going to make arrangements for tomorrow. You have a good rest."
Staring at Xuan Ningyi's hurriedly leaving figure, Murong Jingwan clenched her fists.
At ten o'clock in the night, Murong Jingwan went to bed early. Not long after, she was awakened by a slight sound.
Sitting up quickly, Murong Jingwan thought it was Xuan Ningyi. Before she could ask, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
"Jingwan, I miss you so much!" Before Murong Jingwan could react, Xuan Ningxuan quickly hugged her into his arms.
Looking at Xuan Ningxuan in shock, Murong Jingwan said in surprise: "My lord, why are you here?"
"Jingwan, tomorrow is my king's enthronement ceremony. I want to make you his queen on that day." Xuan Ningxuan said solemnly. He owed a lot to the woman in his arms and had always wanted to compensate her. Ever since he knew about Murong Jing
Wan's true identity was revealed, and her love for Murong Jingwan in her heart increased even more.
Murong Jingwan remained silent, not because she didn't want to answer, but because she couldn't answer. She still had a task tomorrow, a task she might never complete.
Not getting an answer from Murong Jingwan, Xuan Ningxuan's expression changed slightly.
His face suddenly turned ferocious, and the arms holding Murong Jingwan tightened tighter. With a sinister look in his eyes, Xuan Ningxuan said coldly, word for word: "Jingwan, are you in love with Xuan Ningyi?"
She smiled self-deprecatingly, her heart had long been broken, how could she love without a heart.
"My lord, don't you feel that something is wrong? Not long after you deposed me, you suddenly appointed me as queen. There will definitely be many ministers who will oppose it. If the new king ascends the throne and does not get the support of the ministers, it will definitely be detrimental to you."
Xuan Ningxuan was so angry that Murong Jing declined politely.
"Jingwan, is this what you really think?" Xuan Ningxuan asked uncertainly.
"You still don't believe me." Although it was a lie, Xuan Ningxuan's distrust still made Murong Jingwan feel bitter in her heart.
As if he was considering whether what Murong Jingwan said was true, after a long time, Xuan Ningxuan said calmly: "I believe you."
"Your Majesty, you have to hold the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, so it's better to rest early." Murong Jingwan said lightly. Xuan Ningxuan's embrace was so hot that she couldn't breathe.
Gently letting go of Murong Jingwan, Xuan Ningxuan stared at her straightly.
It was pitch dark in the unlit room. Xuan Ningxuan couldn't see Murong Jingwan's face, but he couldn't help but stare at it.
"Jingwan, I have left. I will take you into the palace soon. You must wait for me." Xuan Ningxuan said reluctantly, looking at Murong Jingwan with nostalgia. He dared to come in and out so boldly.
Fourth Prince's Mansion because he knew that Xuan Ningyi would not come to Murong Jingwan tonight.
After Xuan Ningxuan left, Murong Jingwan could no longer sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, Murong Jingwan hoped for the first time that tomorrow would not come.
Time will not stop because of anyone, and the sky gradually reveals light.
Murong Jingwan stood up slowly, walked to the bronze mirror, sat down slowly, and traced her willow eyebrows carefully.
Dawn finally arrived, and people in the palace began to get busy.
Xuan Ningyi was dressed in casual clothes and arrived at Murong Jingwan's bedroom early.
"My lord, you don't bring anything?" Looking at Xuan Ningyi with empty hands, Murong Jingwan asked doubtfully.
"We are fleeing now. Taking too many things will only expose our whereabouts." Xuan Ningyi said in a clear-headed manner. In fact, he already had enough banknotes with him.
"My lord, have you said goodbye to the princess?" Murong Jingwan stood up slowly and asked calmly.
"Shuxian already knows, are we leaving?" As if to escape, Xuan Ningyi held Murong Jingwan's hand tightly.
Being held by Xuan Ningyi's warm right hand, Murong Jingwan looked at the upright back infatuatedly, her heart ached, and her breathing seemed a little difficult.
Sitting in the carriage, the two of them were silent. Xuan Ningyi seemed to have something on his mind and kept frowning.
After leaving the capital, in a secluded place, Xuan Ningyi asked the driver to stop the car.
Xuan Ningyi helped Murong Jingwan out of the carriage, stared blankly at the place where the carriage left, and slowly turned around. What greeted him was not Murong Jingwan's happy smile, but a hand as thin as a cicada's wing.
's sharp sword.
Xuan Ningyi did not dodge and let the sword point at him. Xuan Ningyi said bitterly: "Jingwan, I still haven't moved you. You are going to kill me after all."
The hand holding the sword trembled slightly. Murong Jingwan looked at Xuan Ningyi in shock. After a long time, she slowly said: "You have known my identity for a long time? Why didn't you kill me in the first place?"
The smile on Xuan Ningyi's lips gradually widened. How could he bear to kill her?
"Why don't you say anything?" Murong Jingwan's sharp sword pierced Xuan Ningyi's chest.
Murong Jingwan looked at Xuan Ningyi's bleeding chest in shock. He didn't hide and allowed her to stab him with her sword. But she didn't even kill him with a single sword blow.
Murong Jingwan quickly pulled out the sharp sword from Xuan Ningyi's chest. Xuan Ningyi let out a slight cry of pain and couldn't help but shake her body.
"Wan'er." With a murmur, Murong Jingwan's hands fell to the ground.
Tears instantly filled his painful eyes, and his mouth was slightly opened. It took a long time to find the name that had been buried in his memory for a long time.
"Fourth brother!" A cry-like whisper contained too much bitterness and too much longing.
Tears fell from the corners of their mouths at the same time, and time seemed to return to the day they met.
