Han Qiancheng clutched his chest, with a very painful expression on his face. He tightened his grip on the chopsticks, and his wrists were trembling slightly.
Xiao Chengyi glanced at him and said, "Do you feel very painful? Who was so arrogant in the past that he said he would not regret it?"
These words were undoubtedly a sword, stabbing Han Qiancheng's already scarred heart hard again.
Yes, he was so arrogant and arrogant back then.
So many people advised him and said he would regret it, but why didn't he listen?
Now he really regrets it, but Ling'er can't come back. The price for him to repent is too painful, and he can't bear it.
The chopsticks in Han Qiancheng's hand fell on the table, and the knuckles of the hand he was covering his chest turned white.
The blood gushing from his chest rushed straight into his throat, and he finally couldn't help but spit it out.
Xiao Chengyi looked at him like this and reached out to feel Han Qiancheng's pulse.
After a while, he frowned. It seemed that Han Qiancheng's situation was worse than imagined.
His body was already showing signs of collapse, which was clearly a sign of excessive emotional pain.
The ancients often said that deep love will not last long, and wisdom will be damaged. This is the truth.
Xiao Chengyi sighed: "In my previous life, when I lost Yan Yan, I also wanted to die."
Han Qiancheng was brought back from his thoughts by his words. He looked at him blankly, but he heard the key point of his words: "Previous life?"
Xiao Chengyi nodded: "It was the winter of the sixth year of Yonghe in the previous life. After Yuan Qingrui ascended the throne, he imprisoned Yan Yan.
I led my troops to attack the city, but Yuan Qingrui threatened Yan Yan's life and asked me to retreat.
On the tower where Princess Qinghe died, she was held hostage by Yuan Qingrui, do you know what I did?"
Han Qiancheng was very confused and couldn't understand what he was talking about?
Xiao Chengyi continued: "I shot her with my own hands and ended her life.
She fell from the tower, and I didn't even catch her, so she fell into a pool of blood."
His voice was very calm, but underneath the calmness was hidden pain that others could not see.
Xiao Chengyi took a deep breath and continued: "When I killed her, I thought I hated her.
Because I suffered all the bullying from her during the three years in the General's Mansion, she hated me and would never call me brother.
She was plotted by Yuan Qingrui, fell in love with him, cried and clamored to marry him, and even stole the military talisman of the general's palace for him.
Later, I was the top scholar in high school and was demoted because I refused to marry, so I left the capital.
Not long after, the general's mansion was accused of having liaison with foreign enemies and all the family members were exterminated. Yan Yan was imprisoned in the palace by Yuan Qingrui and suffered a lot of torture.
On the day the city fell, I personally killed her and captured the capital, but after her death I regretted it.
I discovered that the so-called hatred towards her in the past was actually caused by love, but it was a pity that I understood it too late."
Xiao Chengyi will never forget that after the city was destroyed, the palace officials buried Yan Yan's body.
He dismissed everyone and stood in front of her coffin, looking at her scarred face, but he remembered the name she called Brother Yi before she died.
Like crazy, he picked up her cold body, carefully kissed her lips and asked: "Why do you call me brother Yi? Don't you hate me? Please explain it clearly to me."
Yes, the reason that drove him crazy was because she called him brother before she died.
