C97 (1/2)

”That's right, Xi Er. I know that you have set up a defensive line in your heart, ready to defend against anyone. This was also normal. After all, you had been a fool for dozens of years, yet you were only able to recover after being secretly harmed. However, Jing Yan didn't complain about anything after you injured her. He only asked for forgiveness from his grandma. Also, your maidservant Lan Yi has beaten the daughter of Situ Guo uncle to death. According to national law, if she doesn't appear, you also have an unavoidable responsibility. But Jing Yan has put pressure on Grandma Huang in her own capacity to give you a month to find out the truth. Xi Er, think about it. If she did not treat you as a friend, would she have acted in such a dangerous manner? ”

Dongfang Chen said in a single breath, then stood to the side and comforted Shangguan Jingyan who was crying.

Immediately, there was absolute silence, as if waiting for Bai Zhixi's answer.

”Jing Yan, I know you are doing this for my own good. But I don't want your happiness to be affected by my identity.

After knowing Shangguan Jingyan's thoughts, she had originally wanted to stay away from him. When she didn't want to see Dongfang Chen, it was inevitable that she would feel awkward.

”Xi Er, I said before, even if our identities were different, I would still treat you as a friend. Could it be that our friendship is not worth the so-called fame and position?”

In his heart, Shangguan Jingyan was also furious. On his face, there was a trace of a miserable smile, and his tone of voice had increased by quite a bit.

”Alright, you bitter lover, I'll accept it. Just don't think that I'm annoying in the future. ”

After a moment, Bai Zhixi raised her hand and wiped away Shangguan Jingyan's tears, her tone carrying a strong sense of mischief.

”Don't you despise me for being stupid.”

Shangguan Jingyan purposely cried out in anger and passed the red ribbon to Bai Zhixi. The two of them held hands in front of the Seven Holy Trees and made their wishes.

The dark night was so tranquil, yet it also carried traces of desolation. It was only willing to let the emotions of the people present fall.

Dongfang Chen looked at the two devastatingly beautiful girls in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.

If this woman were to keep the two of them in her embrace, it would be a beautiful thing in the world.

Bai Zhixi was a beauty capable of toppling empires. She was resourceful enough to help him with his plans. Shangguan Jingyan was the destined empress, she could definitely strengthen her own river so that no one could defeat her.

The corner of his mouth curled up as he looked at the harmonious scene between the two of them. His possessiveness was far different from the usual gentle and refined white-clothed gongzi.

”Xi Er, can you help me hang him? I don't require him to be as tall as possible as long as he can tie him to the tree.”

Shangguan Jingyan glanced at the top of the Seven Holy Trees, and his eyes instantly dimmed. Perhaps because the wound on his chest had yet to heal, he continued to protect his chest as he spoke.

”Alright!”

Bai Zhixi looked at her and smiled.

”Xi Er's body is also weak, let me help you die!”

At this time, Dongfang Chen raised his long and slender hand, and said gently to Shangguan Jingyan.

”Crown Prince, thank you for your kind intentions. It's just that I wish for Xi Er to hang her up for me, and let me see what kind of husband she has for me. ”

Shangguan Jingyan said with a bashful look and a red face.

”Alright, I won't let you down.”

Bai Zhixi shot a glance at Dongfang Chen, who was standing at the side.

In his previous life, he was alone and had never interacted with a friend before.

In this life, he suddenly found it hard to adapt to having a friend who truly treated him well. However, he truly hoped that she would be blessed.

Standing on the ground, he secretly circulated his energy, wanting to test out the level of power that Master Pu Hai had transferred into her body.

All of a sudden, a stream of hot air flowed in his lower abdomen, and his body slowly left the ground.

The ink-like night did not have a trace of luster, only Bai Zhixi floating in the air. The cold wind blew her plain white clothes into the air. Like a goddess descending from the heavens, her fluttering white clothes dazzled the eyes of everyone present.

”Wow, who's that? So beautiful!”

Just as Bai Zhixi finished tying the ribbon, a cry of alarm rang out. She tensed up, her center of gravity became unstable, and her body lost its balance, falling straight down from above.

”Xi Er...”

”Xi Er...”

”Miss …”

Dongfang Chen and Shangguan Jingyan looked at Bai Zhixi who was falling down, and immediately turned pale with fright, and immediately ran towards her.

Perhaps because he was in a rush, Shangguan Jingyan stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell to the ground. In an instant, blood soaked her dress, dyeing it red with her purple skirt.

”Jing Yan, what's wrong with you?”

Dongfang Chen who was running in front suddenly stopped, before quickly squatting down and hugging her, checking her injuries.

With a ”peng” sound, Bai Zhixi fell to the ground with her limbs spread out. Her slender black hair was let down and her face was covered in mud, making her look extremely comical.

”Crown Prince, I'm fine. Quickly go take a look at Xi Er.”

Shangguan Jingyan's face was pale and powerless as beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his ears. She grabbed Dongfang Chen's arm tightly and gritted her teeth as she spoke with great difficulty.

”Jing Yan, you …”

”Cousin Crown Prince, you're actually with them. It was truly quite easy for us to find them.”

Situ Lingwei cut Dongfang Chen off from speaking further, raising her head to look at the weakened Shangguan Jingyan, her eyes filled with hatred.

”Ling Wei, you came at the right time. Hurry to Imperial Physician Xuan. Jing Yan and the others are injured.”

Looking at Bai Zhixi who was being supported by Zi Li, Qingcheng's lower face no longer had a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth. She looked like an Asura in the night, extremely terrifying.

Initially, Shangguan Jingyan wanted to check on his injuries, but he firmly grabbed onto his arm and was unable to leave.
