628. Chapter 627 Winning the Battle and Rewarding the Assassin 25
She knew that the meaning of Hu Gechi's words was to ask her to reconsider her attitude towards Zhenjin. No matter what, whether Zhenjin had good intentions or had nothing to do with her parents in the first place, she could not reconsider this. In
Before leaving Diaoyu Mountain, she and Zhenjin were already on opposite sides.
When Hu Gechi saw Arnold like this, he felt a little guilty. Many times, he wanted to possess everything about her, but when everything was getting closer and closer, he was afraid that she would know the truth.
He suddenly missed the past, when none of the three of them had changed.
"If Zhenjin hadn't hit you, would you..." After hesitating for a long time, Hu Gechi still asked the question he wanted to know the answer to most. This question often bothered him, making him feel uneasy, and even more so.
He felt a little scared. He might not be afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that there was a seed in Arnold's heart, a seed that might make Arnold leave him.
Maybe I didn't have it before, so I wasn't afraid of losing it, but now I really have it, but I'm too afraid to go back to the past. He had experienced that feeling of gaining and losing again once, and it was so painful that it made him numb, and it made him feel like a walking zombie.
It caused him to lose his mind and do something that hurt her and then regretted it deeply.
"There is no if." Arnold's tone was very light, as if it was blown away by the wind. She didn't want to think about such hypothetical questions at this time. Things in the past cannot be changed, it is fate.
She had known the rules a long time ago.
Seeing that Arnold was unwilling to answer, Hu Gechi felt a sense of loss in his heart. He really wanted to hear Arnold say "no", but these two words were a kind of affirmation to him. But Arnold was used to escaping, no matter what he encountered
His first reaction would always be to escape. She ran away, and he chased after her to help her face everything.
Hu Gechi raised his whip again, and the horse under him neighed and rushed out. A cloud of flying dust rose up from the official road behind him. At this moment, a snow-white homing pigeon flew over their heads, its wings constantly beating, wherever it flew.
It was Zhenjin and his party who were following closely not far behind.
The small inn was originally not far from Jingzhao, and it would take less than two hours by a fast horse.
In front of the Jingzhao City Gate, Hu Gechi pulled the reins of the horse. Arnold walked out of his arms in a daze. The city gate was tightly sealed. At the gate stood the chief steward of the Jingzhao Palace and Arnold's maid Yu'er.
Seeing their solemn expressions, Arnold suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
"What happened?" Hu Gechi's voice was deep, revealing a rare dignity.
"Prince Yunnan, something happened in the palace, but my princess is back?" the chief steward of Prince An'i said anxiously, sweat dripping from his face despite the cold weather.
"The two of us go ahead. Your princess and the prince are behind, but they should be back soon." Arnold said and looked at Yu'er, "Yu'er, come and help me get off the horse."
Yu'er nodded, quickly ran to the horse and helped Arnold get off the horse.
As soon as Arnold landed, she made a gesture to steady him and lean forward naturally, and a whisper came into Arnold's ears. "Prince Rest in Peace is critically ill, and it looks like he won't live long."
"What?" Arnold stumbled, his pupils dilating and shrinking instantly. "Are you telling the truth?"
Yu'er's face turned pale, "It's true."
Arnold suddenly felt as if all his strength had been taken away by these three words. If Yu'er hadn't supported her, she would have fallen to the ground on the spot. Why was it so sudden? Why was Brother Busan about to die so suddenly? Xu Xiaomo knew
What will happen next? What kind of huge waves will be caused in Anxi Mansion?
The sky was hazy and the wind was as cold as a knife, but Arnold felt like he was breaking out in cold sweat.
