Mu Ruoning carefully dried the words Xiaofeng had just written and then hung them up.
"Your Highness, I don't understand. Even though His Majesty has already pardoned His Highness, why does Your Highness still stay in the Nourishing Heart Hall all day?"
Xiaofeng stood in front of the window, and from here he could just see the Hidden Dragon Palace opposite. After Liu Jin's accident, the palace was sealed off, and outsiders could not approach it.
Normally at this time, he should have just come back from school. When His Majesty cannot see him, he always wears his school uniform very casually, with his coat open, revealing the white shirt underneath, and his schoolbag on his shoulders, like a gangster in society.
.
Usually after finishing his homework, he would come to his Yangxin Palace, play games in his room, or pester him to teach him kung fu.
"Brother Six, do you have a girl you like?"
"Brother Six, I give this to you. I made it myself."
"Brother Six, what are you having for dinner?"
"Brother Six..."
The sounds echoed in my ears, all of them his voice, as if he had never left at all, and would rush in at any moment and shout: "Brother Six, I'm back."
However, he could never come back.
He could no longer hear his young and energetic voice, he was dead.
Xiaofeng lowered his head, his hair hanging down to block his eyes. Mu Ruoning's voice interrupted his meditation: "Your Highness, I have put these in the bookcase first. I will tell the kitchen what you want to eat tonight."
"Bamboo shoots."
Mu Ruoning was surprised: "Your Highness, you have never eaten bamboo shoots before."
Because Liu Jin loves to eat.
"Go ahead and do it." He ordered calmly.
"Yes." Mu Ruoning rushed to the kitchen with some doubts. She always felt that His Highness Sixth Prince seemed to have changed. The sharp edges and corners of the past were gone. He seemed to be just a pool of water, quiet and comfortable. She couldn't explain what was happening like this.
Is Your Highness the Sixth Prince good or bad?
Xiaofeng finished her dinner, wrote for a while, and then stood in front of the window again.
It seems that he only has these few things left to do every day, writing and looking at the Hidden Dragon Hall opposite.
Mu Ruoning was worried that if he continued like this, he would become self-isolated, which is the legendary autism.
It was already late at night, and the Hidden Dragon Hall, which was usually always lit with lights, was now pitch black with no sign of life.
Suddenly, a light on the second floor came on, swaying alone.
Xiaofeng's eyes widened suddenly and she almost ran downstairs, knocking over several potted plants along the stairs.
Pushing open the dusty door, he rushed towards the second floor. In the silent corridor, only his running footsteps and heavy breathing could be heard.
Stopping outside the lighted door, he pushed open the door with almost trembling hands.
There was a squeaking sound.
The people inside turned around in surprise.
"Your Highness, Sixth Highness." She hurriedly bent down and saluted.
It turned out to be just a cleaning maid.
Xiaofeng stood in the dim light, the disappointment on his face covered by the darkness.
"No outsiders are allowed in here, don't you know?" The plain voice was filled with boundless anger.
The maid knelt down with a bang, her body shaking like a sieve: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, Sixth Highness, His Majesty ordered that this place must be cleaned frequently in the future. Because there is no time during the day, I came here at night. I'm sorry, Your Highness, Sixth Highness. I'm sorry."
Xiaofeng turned around, not daring to look at this room.
This is the place where Liu Jin used to read, and many of the books in it were bought by him.
He left the Hidden Dragon Palace as if fleeing and returned to his bedroom. He turned off all the lights and locked himself in darkness.
I don't know how long it took.
Ba.
A light was turned on, and warm light immediately filled the cool-toned bedroom.
He raised his head from the bed, and the anger on his face disappeared instantly when he saw the person standing in front of the bed.
He looked at her and felt like he was dreaming.
She had a cold face, as if she didn't recognize him.
"It's so embarrassing for you to look like this."
Zhong Yuxi put her hands on his shoulders, "Wake up, Xiaofeng, don't give up on yourself anymore. Although Liu Jin's death was indirectly caused by you, it was just an accident. Didn't you often tell him,
You have to do things with your heart, he followed his heart, he did it with his own will, and what he did was not wrong."
Xiaofeng's eyes darkened, and the boundless pain and guilt occupied his thoughts, torturing him to the point of dying.
"Don't you remember what he said? He said he didn't want to see you like this every day... You should live happily, just like when you were together when you were children... He still hopes that you can live happily until he dies.
Go down, but you, not only did you not do what he said, but you tortured yourself like this every day. If Liu Jin can see it from the sky, how can you let him feel at ease?"
"If you think that you can only atone for your sins by dying, then you should die now. When you get to that world, see how shameless you are to meet Liu Jin who didn't even risk his life for you. He was worried about you when he was alive. Could it be that he
Even after he dies, do you want to make him unhappy and worry about you day and night? Xiaofeng, are you acting like a brother?"
Xiaofeng lowered her head and said nothing, letting her fingernails dig deeply into his clothes, touching his flesh, and the pain spread to every corner of his body.
"If you are willing to continue like this, then you can continue to be decadent here. Liu Jin will not forgive you, and I will not forgive you." Zhong Yuxi let go of him, turned around and left.
Behind her, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm.
His voice was filled with pain and pleading: "Don't go."
Zhong Yuxi's tears fell with a loud sound. Only now are you willing to take off this disguise? You have been holding on to the strength, you have been suppressing the sadness, and you have been holding on to the smile.
Xiaofeng, you don't have to do anything in front of me, you just need to show your true self, and that's enough.
Zhong Yuxi turned around and hugged him, "Madman, I am by your side. I will always be there, always there, to accompany you to tears, to accompany you to be sad, to accompany you to be happy. You can't kick me away anymore and don't want me."
, I really can't live without you." She touched his thin face and kissed his lips over and over again: "You don't have nothing, you have me."
Xiaofeng hugged her back, with a smile in his eyes. The heavy shell he had been carrying shattered into pieces at this moment. He rested his chin on Zhong Yuxi's shoulder, tears streaming down his face.
He has always been so shrewd, but this time, he was confused. He thought he was doing this for Zhong Yuxi, but he never thought that two people who were already one body would just forcefully separate them.
If they were torn apart, neither of them would be able to survive without the other.
There was no moment that was more unforgettable to him than now. She meant the whole world to him, and without her, life would be meaningless.
Liu Jin, if you could see it, you would be happy, right?
Zhong Yuxi held this man who was once arrogant and looked down on the world. He was real and a living person at this moment. He had joys and sorrows, ups and downs. He was lying on her shoulders like a child and shedding tears.
His look made her just want to stay with him forever until the end of time.
