"My lady, long time no see."
At this moment, Bai Chen picked up Wan Ruo and left the palace. He originally intended to deal with You Guang, but at the pleading of An Yao and Si Hongxi, although You Guang was not executed, he was imprisoned for life and forbidden to leave the palace.
The affairs in the palace had come to an end. Si Hongxi and Mu Qing returned to the prince's mansion. On the way back, Si Hongxi suddenly remembered to ask about Man Man.
"I didn't see Man Man when I returned to the mansion. I heard she came out with you. Why didn't I see her?" Si Hongxi asked Mu Qing in confusion.
Hearing this, Mu Qing's face darkened, not knowing how to start.
Si Hongxi seemed to sense Mu Qing's embarrassment. "What on earth happened? What's wrong with her?"
"Your Highness, Miss Qin Man Man... has passed away," Mu Qing said in a low voice.
"What? How is that possible? How could this happen? What exactly happened?" Si Hongxi could hardly believe his ears. What had happened during his coma? He continued to press for answers.
Mu Qing told him how Qin Man Man had saved Si Hongxi with her own heart. After hearing this, Si Hongxi covered his chest and felt a sharp pain.
He seemed to recall the words whispered in his ear. It wasn't a dream; it was real. It was her voice!
At this moment, his heart ached violently, and tears welled up in his eyes. So, my heartache was because yours was hurting!
He couldn't accept Qin Man Man's sincere love for him. He felt guilty and thought it wasn't worth it for her!
I'm not worthy of you doing this for me. I'm sorry!
When they returned to the prince's mansion, Si Hongxi was still deeply immersed in grief and self - blame.
At this time, Wei Qingshan saw that Si Hongxi was in a bad mood. He didn't say a word to her when he saw her and went straight back to his room.
So she asked Mu Qing what had happened.
Hearing the news of Qin Man Man's death from Mu Qing, Wei Qingshan was secretly happy but didn't show it in front of Mu Qing.
She really deserved it! She knocked on Si Hongxi's door, just wanting to take this opportunity to get closer to him and pretend to console him.
When Si Hongxi let her in, Wei Qingshan's expression changed instantly.
Humph! Si Hongxi, go to hell!
Taking advantage of Si Hongxi's inattention, Wei Qingshan took out a prepared dagger from behind and was about to stab him!
Fortunately, Si Hongxi was alert and grabbed her wrist. "Miss Qingshan, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Wei Qingshan was blinded by hatred. "I want to kill you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up in such a situation with my family destroyed! Go to hell!"
Looking at Wei Qingshan's determined look to kill him, Si Hongxi finally realized how much hatred she had for him.
He snatched the dagger from her hand and said apologetically, "Miss Qingshan, I'm really sorry for what happened to you, but this is really not what I wanted to see. I didn't want things to turn out this way!"
"I never thought your hatred for me would be so deep! If killing me will make you feel better, then... do it!" Si Hongxi stuffed the snatched dagger back into Wei Qingshan's hand and pressed it against his chest, resolutely saying.
Hearing Si Hongxi's words and feeling his hand pressing the dagger against his chest, Wei Qingshan began to tremble. "Do it! If you think killing me will make you feel better, do it!" Si Hongxi shouted.
Startled, Wei Qingshan didn't know what to do. At this moment, she dropped the dagger in her hand and threw herself into Si Hongxi's arms, crying.
At this moment, Si Hongxi comforted Wei Qingshan, and his heart ached again!
On the other side, Bai Chen and Wan Ruo returned to Shan An Fang under the cover of night.
Bai Chen hugged Wan Ruo and said, "Let's not care about others. Just focus on ourselves, okay?"
Wan Ruo smiled faintly and just responded with her body.
This time, Wan Ruo took the initiative to hold Bai Chen's face and kissed him passionately.
During this night of passion, Bai Chen thought Wan Ruo had given herself to him completely... But the next day, when Bai Chen woke up, he found that Wan Ruo was gone.
There was a letter and a silver note worth five million taels on the table.
"Bai Chen, when you see this letter, I've already left. Don't try to find me. On the way to the underworld, I learned about you and the musician. I know I look a lot like her. Maybe your love for me is just because of our similar appearance. I don't want to be her substitute. Even though I love you deeply, I won't allow myself to be. Wan Ruo is just Wan Ruo. I'm returning the five million taels to you. We're even!"
Reading this, Bai Chen tightly clenched the letter in his hand. "Even? Humph!"
Just as he tried to sense his inner core, he found that he couldn't feel its presence at all.
At this moment, he was really panicked. What was going on? Even when he tried hard to sense it with his mind, he still couldn't. Dammit!
At this time, he knew that Wan Ruo had used a talisman to seal his inner core so that he couldn't find her.
And at this moment, Wan Ruo and Wan Zi had embarked on a journey to the land of poetry and far - off places...
One year later...
It was Wan Ruo's birthday.
By this time, Wan Ruo had already made a name for herself. Everyone in the places she passed knew the name of "Half - Immortal Bai".
Her fortune - telling was really accurate, and with Wan Zi's help, her business was booming! Before she knew it, she had returned to the place she had left.
It was already night. Looking at the familiar street scene in front of her, everything had changed.
Just then, Wan Ruo seemed to be controlled by some force. She was quickly and uncontrollably flown into a sedan chair. From the outside, it was a red wedding sedan chair!
Wan Ruo couldn't move inside the sedan chair, and her clothes instantly turned into wedding clothes. "Wan Zi, Wan Zi, what's going on? Hurry and save me! I can't move!"
There was no response to her plea. At this moment, Wan Zi had been scared away by this powerful spiritual force. This force was too familiar, too terrifying. It was simply a nightmare!
Wan Ruo was still confused. At this time, her sedan chair passed through the forest and stopped in front of a mansion.
What's going on? It stopped. Where am I?
Wan Ruo couldn't move, and there was a red veil covering her head.
Suddenly, a mysterious force sucked her out of the sedan chair. When she stopped, it seemed that she was in the main hall?
She knelt on the ground with her head down, only able to see a little bit under the veil. A pair of men's feet stopped beside her.
The man lifted her veil and raised her chin. She instantly looked at the man in front of her in shock and disbelief.
It's you?
"My lady! ... Long time no see!" Bai Chen gave a charming smile and looked at Wan Ruo playfully.
——The End——
