Lin Shuxian returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, but she could no longer open her eyes and look at the Prince's Mansion.
The palace was quickly replaced with white porcelain, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Murong Jingwan knelt quietly in front of Lin Shuxian's coffin, her tears had long been shed, and her eyes were red and swollen.
Xuan Ningxuan came to the palace, but no matter how he tried to dissuade him, Murong Jingwan still refused to stand up.
In order to prevent Murong Jingwan from being irritated again, Xuan Ningxuan could only ask the guards and palace maids to take good care of Murong Jingwan, and returned to the palace alone.
"My Lady, you have been kneeling for seven full hours. Can you please get up and have something to eat?" Caiyun looked at Murong Jingwan, whose face was full of tears, with distress, holding in her hand the newly prepared dinner.
Murong Jingwan shook her head, "Caiyun, I'm not hungry, can you just leave me alone for a while?"
Caiyun looked at Murong Jingwan helplessly, knowing her temper, so she could only exit the hall alone.
Night is gradually falling. There is no moon or stars tonight. The earth is shrouded in darkness, and the air is filled with a lifeless depression.
There was a sound of slight footsteps behind her. Murong Jingwan frowned slightly and said lightly: "Caiyun, didn't I give my order?"
"Jing Wan." I whispered to myself and then I remembered.
Murong Jingwan slowly turned around and looked at the man standing in front of her. Her lips kept trembling, but in the end she did not say a word.
"Jingwan." Xuan Ningyi called softly again.
Murong Jingwan slowly came back to her senses and hurriedly tried to stand up, but because she knelt on her knees for too long, her body suddenly lost her balance.
Seeing that her body was about to touch the ground, Murong Jingwan closed her eyes, waiting for the pain that would follow.
The expected pain did not come, and Murong Jingwan's body fell into a warm embrace.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the familiar face in front of him, tears raging on his face again.
"I'm sorry, Yi, it was me who killed the fourth princess, I'm sorry." Murong Jing couldn't help but apologize, but no amount of guilt could restore the life that Lin Shuxian had wiped away.
Gently letting go of Murong Jingwan, Xuan Ningyi slowly walked towards the black coffin. The coffin was not covered, and Lin Shuxian was lying peacefully in the cold coffin, as if she had fallen asleep.
Xuan Ningyi reached out and gently touched the pale and cold face, and crystal tears fell on Lin Shuxian's pale cheek.
"None of this is your fault. It's because I failed to protect Shuxian. After all, I broke my promise. Shuxian still didn't wait for that day." Xuan Ningyi said apologetically. He was sorry for his wife who was lying in the coffin. Even though just
At first he just regarded her as a substitute, but as he got along slowly, he developed feelings of pity for her.
"Yi, it's not your fault. If it weren't for my betrayal, you might be the emperor today instead of the prince." Murong Jingwan shook her head and said in pain.
Xuan Ningyi smiled bitterly and said lightly: "Jingwan, even without you, I can't be the emperor after all, because I am not the son of my father."
Murong Jingwan knew all this, but she didn't know that Xuan Ningyi also knew it.
"Why do you want to go back to the palace? The princess's hard work has been in vain." Murong Jingwan said loudly with tears. She was indirectly responsible for Lin Shuxian's death, but she also died for Xuan Ningyi.
"I have already broken my promise, how could I not see Shuxian off for the last time? Even without Shuxian, Xuan Ningxuan will not let me go after all." Xuan Ningyi said calmly. He forced Lin Shuxian to death just to lure him out.
.
Although Murong Jingwan was no longer crying or blaming herself, her empty eyes made people feel even more distressed.
Xuan Ningyi walked quickly to Murong Jingwan and said softly: "Jingwan, everything is over, I will always be by your side."
After receiving the report from the guards, Xuan Ningxuan immediately drove to Xuan Ningyi's palace. Unexpectedly, he saw Xuan Ningyi hugging Murong Jingwan intimately.
Anger flashed in his eyes, and Xuan Ningxuan coughed heavily.
Murong Jingwan quickly separated from Xuan Ningyi, she didn't want Xuan Ningyi to be swept away by Xuan Ningxuan's anger.
"Fourth brother, you are finally willing to come back." Xuan Ningxuan glared at Xuan Ningyi, his tone full of jealousy.
"Your Majesty, you forced Shuxian to death just to lure me out. Now I'm right in front of you. Kill or behead her. It's up to you." Xuan Ningyi had a look of disdain on his face. He was not afraid of death if he dared to come back.
Xuan Ningxuan walked quickly to Murong Jingwan, hugged her tightly in his arms, and declared his dominance.
"Where did Fourth Brother think of you? My brother has just ascended the throne, and I still have to ask Fourth Brother for advice." Xuan Ningxuan said with a smile, but the smile did not reach the corners of his eyes.
"I don't dare to ask for advice. I just hope that the emperor will show his noble hand and let me live a few more years!" Xuan Ningyi said sarcastically. He didn't believe that Xuan Ningxuan would be so kind.
"Fourth brother, I will definitely let my fourth sister-in-law be buried in glory. After all, I have to bear a certain responsibility for the death of my fourth sister-in-law." Xuan Ningxuan said hypocritically. Due to the presence of Murong Jingwan, he could not attack Xuan Ningyi.
.
"Your Majesty, the fourth sister-in-law has just left. Let Yi and her get along well while we go back to the palace, okay?" Murong Jingwan pleaded, and the tense atmosphere made her feel like she could not even breathe.
When he heard that harsh word, Xuan Ningxuan's expression changed slightly. He couldn't get angry in front of Xuan Ningyi, so he could only hold Murong Jingwan's slender waist and said: "Let's go back to the palace!"
When passing by Xuan Ningyi, Murong Jingwan said softly to Xuan Ningyi: "Fourth brother, I'm sorry."
Murong Jingwan didn't notice the slight change in Xuan Ningxuan's expression, but still comforted Xuan Ningyi in a low voice.
Xuan Ningxuan felt even more unhappy, and held Murong Jingwan's hand harder.
Murong Jingwan quickly raised her head and glanced at Xuan Ningxuan's ferocious face, then immediately lowered her head and stopped talking.
As soon as he arrived at Murong Jingwan's bedroom, Xuan Ningxuan closed the door forcefully and stared at Murong Jingwan with an angry face.
Murong Jingwan ignored it and slowly sat on the chair, automatically ignoring Xuan Ningxuan's anger.
Xuan Ningxuan lifted Murong Jingwan up from the chair and said loudly: "Why do you call him Yi, and why do you call him so affectionate?"
With an angry voice mixed with Xuan Ningxuan's jealousy, Murong Jingwan smiled bitterly and said lightly: "Your Majesty, even animals understand what feelings are, let alone humans. Yi is very good to me, I call him Yi.
There's something wrong."
"Don't call him Yi, he is your fourth brother, and I am your husband." Xuan Ningxuan shook Murong Jingwan's body and said loudly.
"Jingwan understands." Murong Jingwan reluctantly agreed, not harming Xuan Ningyi because of her fault.
"I won't allow you to see him, otherwise I will kill him." Xuan Ningxuan threatened coldly.
Murong Jingwan nodded lightly and did not respond. This was just an excuse for Xuan Ningxuan. Regardless of whether she saw Xuan Ningyi or not, he could not tolerate him after all.
