C180 (2/2)
The afterglow under the setting sun was always the most beautiful, but it meant that it was not an ordinary ending.
When Bai Zhixi returned, he saw that a few horses were tied to the backyard of the Red Dust Inn.
Doubts arose in his heart, as the situation in the capital was so tense, there were actually outsiders here.
With some doubts, she walked into her room step by step.
”Xi Er, I missed you so much!”
She fiercely pushed open the door and crashed into a sturdy embrace. The person tightly hugged her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
”Nangong Xuan, let go of me …”
Bai Zhixi's beautiful eyes became fierce, she kicked Nangong Xuan's knees, escaping from his grasp and sat on the chair, gasping for air.
Nangong Xuan was caught off guard and at the joints where he had landed a kick, a naked pain hit him, causing him to quickly squat down and hug his leg as he rolled around.
He never thought that Bai Zhixi would be so ruthless to his own brother.
”Bai Zhixi, you want to murder your own brother?!”
Nangong Xuan struggled to get up from the ground, limping closer to Bai Zhixi, and suddenly slapped her shoulder with his palm.
Although there was fierceness in her words, her tone couldn't hide the love she had for Bai Zhixi.
”I …”
”Ah, a ghost …”
Bai Zhixi struggled to recover from the pain and was hit on the shoulder by Nangong Xuan. It was so painful that her face was covered in tears.
Only, she was hit on the chest by Nangong Xuan the moment she turned around.
The originally extremely weak Bai Zhixi was sent flying elegantly like this by Nangong Xuan, and landed on the railing of the door.
”Miss, Miss, what happened to you?”
A'Yi walked along the corridor happily carrying the freshly brewed ginseng soup. Thinking about how the Crown Prince had returned safely, the miss would definitely be very happy, and the precarious situation her Southern Frontier was in would also be alleviated.
But just as she reached the door, she saw a person flying out, and when she focused, it was actually Bai Zhixi.
The ginseng in his hand slipped as he carefully helped Bai Zhixi up.
”It's nothing, I won't die yet …”
Bai Zhixi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, stood up shakily and supported himself against the wall, walking in step by step.
How could she be so unlucky? She was kicked twice in the same place. Was her makeup really that scary?
Nangong Xuan, who was standing in the room, heard the conversation between the two of them. His eyes were wide open as he looked at the girl with a face as black as ink and a mouth full of buckteeth.
Seeing Bai Zhixi walk in, he was somewhat helpless. He fiercely swallowed his saliva, and nervously played with the fan in his hand.
”Nangong Xuan... ”You actually dared to kick me …”
After Bai Zhixi sat down, he held onto his burning chest and started pointing at Nangong Xuan while cursing.
Seeing that, Ah Yi ignored Nangong Xuan's begging gaze and tactfully left the house.
After a while, Bai Zhixi's furious beatings and her timid begging voice came out from the house.
”Sigh, Prince Xuan is in a terrible mood. Young miss has been in a bad mood these few days and provoking her is simply suicidal.”
Zi Li and the others stood at the doorway, a trace of helplessness hung on their faces, as they felt sympathy for Nangong Xuan.
Two hours later, Bai Zhixi had beaten and scolded enough, he threw Nangong Xuan out of the room, and ended the fierce battle.
”Hiss …” Mu Sheng, be a bit more gentle. ”
Nangong Xuan lay on the bed, on his last breath, with patches of purple on his back.
Luckily, he had begged so bitterly that his heartless little sister had not slapped his face. Otherwise, he would have lost all face.
”Crown Prince, in the future, you will anger the young miss less. While you were gone, she had been busy during the day checking out the positions of the Southern Frontier s. She had secretly helped to win over the hearts of the people for you, Crown Prince. It really wasn't easy for her to cure the emperor's poison at night. ”
Mu Sheng applied the medicine and left after saying that word blandly.
He was an extremely cold man, but this was the first time he was speaking up for Bai Zhixi. It seemed casual, but it concealed the pain he felt for Zhixi.
After Nangong Xuan heard this, the almond eyes core immediately dimmed, replacing it was a deep pondering cold.
He knew that he had been a very bastard in the past, that was why he could not differentiate between good and bad. It was the Southern Frontier that had plunged him into such a predicament.
The night was as dark as ink, but the starry sky was filled with stars that illuminated everything.
Bai Zhixi stood by the window still, and looked at the closed window quietly.
She washed her miserable face clean and restored her cold and beautiful face that was like a plum blossom. On her face, crystal clear tears still hung. She pursed her lips without saying a word and allowed the tears to flow down and drip onto the ground.
”Which handsome young master are you missing again?”
Nangong Xuan covered her with his light cloak and joked around as he reached out his hand to wipe the two streams of tears under her eyes.
When Bai Zhixi heard this, his tears fell like a waterfall, flowing even more violently than before.
”Xi Er, what's wrong? I'll tell my brother who bullies you and this crown prince will hack him into pieces. How dare he bully my sister? ”
Facing Bai Zhixi who was crying his eyes out loud, the playboy Nangong Xuan did not know what to do, and could only continuously wipe away Bai Zhixi's tears.
