Chapter 583 At This Moment, She Was Willing

Ji Xun had been silent ever since he came out of the dungeon. The cold around him made people afraid to approach him, but Su Mianyue could feel the deep sadness hidden under the cold.

Silently by Ji Xun's side, Su Mianyue took the opportunity to whisper that there was no need to disturb Ji Xun today. She could report the urgent matter to her first.

The two of them seemed to be walking in the palace, but in fact, they were aimless. The dark guards followed far away to avoid exposing their breath and disturbing the master.

Walking until it was dark, Ji Xun came to Pepper House without realizing his fatigue. Looking at the renovated palace, Ji Xun's eyes gradually turned red. From the initial body tremor to the uncontrollable sobbing, it was obvious how sad he was.

Su Mianyue had been standing beside Ji Xun until Ji Xun's cries had subsided before he went up and wrapped his thin waist around him. His small face pressed against Ji Xun's chest and whispered, "Yu won't cry, you still have me, and Xingran. I promise I will never leave you, forever."

"Yue..." Ji Xun spoke in a trembling voice and slowly raised his arm to hold Su Mianyue in his arms. "I thought with Yun Wansheng's life, I might be able to find my father and mother. Knowing that their chances of survival were slim, I couldn't help but look forward to it. Who knew that he would die like this? I would never see my father and mother again."

Burying his head in Su Mianyue's shoulder, Ji Xun whispered what he had never dared to face. It was only now that Su Mianyue understood why Ji Xun had kept Yun Wansheng alive, not to torture him to death, but because there was always a glimmer of hope in Ji Xun's heart that she wanted to reunite with her family.

Parents are irreplaceable, even the women and children they love the most, and the opposite is the same. These relationships can be said to be equally important. To someone who values feelings, the person who would rather have an accident is himself.

Su Mianyue knew this feeling very well. When she couldn't find Biwu and the others, she was also very scared. She even hid alone because she didn't want to know the bad news.

But deceiving others may be deceiving for a lifetime, but self-deception is hard to do.

Feeling Ji Xun's helplessness, Su Mianyue's heart ached. It took a long time to suppress the urge to cry with Ji Xun and whispered, "Yu, the father and mother must be very happy that you can think of them like this, but you will only make them unable to reincarnate peacefully. Is this what you want to see?"

Ji Xun remained silent, but her body trembled even more.

When Ji Xun's mood calmed down a little, Su Mianyue continued, "Yu, many things are already established. No matter how sad we are, we can't change anything. All we can do is cherish the people in front of us now. This is our responsibility to ourselves and the greatest comfort to the dead. Trust me, father and mother will not be willing to see their beloved son so sad. Don't let the likes of Yun Wansheng go there and have the chance to laugh at father and mother. You are their son and their pride."

After saying this, Su Mianyue stopped talking and gave Ji Xun enough time to calm down.

Su Mianyue knew that Ji Xun would not let go because of her words, but now he needed his own company and comfort, and that was all she could do.

It took Ji Xun a long time to let go of Su Mianyue, but he held her hand instead and whispered, "From the moment I remember, the love between the father and mother has been as good as normal couples. I was lucky to be their son. Even if I was born in the royal family, I could have a good childhood. Although my father made me his reserve monarch, he did not force me to learn how to govern the country all day long. Instead, he taught me how to be a benevolent monarch in a way that made me happy..."

As Ji Xun stepped into Pepper House and listened to him talk about his childhood, Su Mianyue could feel how happy Ji Xun was at that time. This was something she had never had before, including her feelings for the Su Family father and son. It was also because the other party's efforts moved her, and a large part of it was responsibility.

Pepper House was rebuilt after the fire that broke out in the palace, but it was also rebuilt in the same way. It could be said that every plant here reminded Ji Xun of the past.

Even he remembered clearly how many bruises he got from wrestling on the first green brick, and he remembered that there were still smiling marks on his lips.

Su Mianyue was a silent listener, and the corners of his mouth could not help but fly up. It seemed that he could see Ji Xun running in Pepper House when he was a teenager. He must be a lovely little boy.

However, even the best memories had an end. When ji xun finished telling the family's last dinner, his face slowly turned cold, and the murderous aura on his body suddenly spread. Su Mianyue subconsciously held Ji Xun's hand tightly, afraid that he would fall into the memories and be unable to extricate himself.

Perhaps because of the pain in her hand, Ji Xun's murderous aura gradually dissipated, but the scarlet in her eyes did not have time to fade. Her thin lips stared at a place that refused to look away, calling Su Mianyue's heart to lift again.

"Right there." Ji Xun pointed to the center of the courtyard, and the hatred and pain in his eyes were inseparable. "The father died in his mother's arms, and his mother's bright red body was even more dazzling than the sunset. I don't know if the blood was hers or his, but the mother's face was still smiling. I know that my mother saw my figure, but I was covered by shaoqiu's mouth and tightly held by my teacher and couldn't rush over. The empress mother shook her head at me almost imperceptibly. I couldn't hear what the empress mother said to those people. Then I saw the empress mother droop her head and I was dragged into the secret passage by my teacher and son, and was escorted away from the capital by a secret guard."

Ji Xun said these words in a flat tone, as if he were telling someone else's story, but the sweat in his palms betrayed his heart.

"I was carried away by a secret guard. My last memory is a sea of fire in Pepper House. I don't know how many people were buried in Pepper House that day. Those two beasts claimed to be the emperor if they couldn't kill me, and I've been avoiding the pursuit. The only way to survive is to come back and take revenge. As long as we catch them, we might be able to find our father and mother."

Speaking of this, Ji Xun looked up at the sky and Su Mianyue looked up and saw a line of tears flowing down his face. "Yue, I know I was lying to myself. I didn't even dare to let the secret guards investigate for so many years because I knew they would never leave their father and mother's lives, or even their bodies... Otherwise, they would have lured me out to kill him with their parents."

"Yu..." Su Mianyue called out in a low voice, distressed, but could not say a word of comfort.

"I know, but I would rather live in a fantasy, so I gave them a chance to live, and they were very cooperative in deceiving me, but since they lied to me, why didn't they live? Did they really think that they could atone for their sins after death?" Ji Xun suddenly burst out and sneered, "No, I won't let them go even if they die. Their sins in this life are so deep, even if they die ten thousand times, it's not enough to atone for them. I want them to pay the price for their mistakes in this life!"

"Yes, they deserve it." Su Mianyue opened her mouth gently and looked at Ji Xun firmly. At this moment, she was willing to believe in the cycle of life and death, willing to believe in the cycle of cause and effect, as long as Ji Xun could let go of these obsessions.
