"Xi Er, I knew you would definitely come here. It seems that my intuition towards you is quite accurate, as expected."

Such a familiar voice came from behind him, causing Bai Zhixi to pause his hands that were hanging red ribbons. They had no choice but to turn around. Dongfang Chen walked out from the other side of the Seven Holy Trees with his injured arm under his arm.

With the help of the weak candle light, one could clearly see that his handsome face was slightly pale. His dry lips were bloodless and his tall body seemed to be on the verge of collapse under the baptism of the cold wind.

It seemed that the attack this time was indeed severe.

"Crown Prince, your health is not good. What are you doing here so late at night?"

Seeing that it was him, Bai Zhixi was also very suspicious in his heart. After being stunned for a moment, her beautiful lips slightly parted, and her voice slowly flowed out.

"I'm here to look for you, do you believe me?"

Dongfang Chen took a step forward and stood in front of her. His pitch black eyes were filled with tenderness and the warm male scent sprinkled onto her face.

She couldn't do anything for a while, so she took a step back and nervously clutched the ribbon in her hand. She couldn't feel anything even if her fingernails dug into her flesh.

"Hehe, Crown Prince sure knows how to joke. You must be here for your princess! Moreover, this kind of joke is not funny at all. "

Bai Zhixi pretended to be calm and turned, seeing that the Seven Saints Tree in front of him was covered densely with red ribbons. His scalp was numb, thinking about how to hang his own ribbon on it.

"Xi Er, the reason I came to find you tonight was to tell you. As long as you are willing to be my princess, I don't care about the rumors outside. I don't care if you are the Bane or not, whether you will bring me disaster or not, I don't care about that. "

Dongfang Chen pulled Bai Zhixi closer, tightly locking her in his embrace. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't let go.

"Crown Prince, please let go. Don't ruin your image in my heart."

Bai Zhixi was also extremely anxious at this moment. She had always known that Dongfang Chen was not as gentle and elegant as he seemed on the surface, and she also knew that he might be new to her for a while. She did not expect that he would actually give her a promise about the position of princess.

This way, it would be even more impossible for her to accept him.

Not to mention that without him in her heart, the empress dowager and the others would definitely oppose it. They would never allow a Bane to become the empress of a nation, and they would never want to be imprisoned in that cold and heartless place in the palace for the rest of their lives.

Thus, it was absolutely impossible for them to be together.

"If you don't let go, even if the world finds out, I would still be willing to hold your hand and walk down there together with you. You know, from the first time I saw you, I liked you so much. However, your eyes continued to stay on Jun Mohan, and didn't even give me that bit of alms. Your eyes would forever remain calm when facing me, and your respect for my identity, do you know how much pain I'm going to suffer? Furthermore, Jun Mohan will not live past eighteen years of age. You don't have any happiness following him, understand? "

Dongfang Chen carried Bai Zhixi and roared hysterically, using all his strength to rub her into his embrace, but her body was trembling as she leaned against Bai Zhixi's shoulder.

"Crown Prince, what do you mean?"

Dong Fang's words struck Bai Zhixi's mind like lightning. She could not accept everything. Her voice was filled with boundless fear. If not for Dongfang Chen holding her, she would have fallen to the ground long ago.

"Heh, Jun Mohan actually didn't tell you. However, this secret was unintentionally heard by me. "

When they were eight years old, he had been hiding under her bed, hoping to play hide-and-seek with her.

Who knew, he would actually hear the conversation between the emperor's grandmother and the old king. Jun Mohan had been infected with a parasite since he was young, and this parasite could only let him live until he was eighteen years old.

If they could meet a fated person at the age of eighteen and help him remove the Gu, they could survive as well. However, there was no doubt about it with the living dead.

At that time, there were even royal father, Empress and the others.

Afterwards, the royal father ordered the palace maids and eunuchs who were on duty to be executed on the spot in order to hide this secret.

Even the people of the world did not know that Prince Mo, whom they revered greatly in their hearts, would actually die young.

When Bai Zhixi heard this news, he could only silently lie on Dongfang Chen's shoulder and cry.

He always knew about his body's condition, yet he didn't tell him. Did he only want to be happy when he left and stayed in front of his spirit tablet every day, feeling sad and sad?

Why was the fate of her two lives so bleak?

"Xi Er, it's not too late for you to know that there's no choice but to leave in half a year's time. You … "You should think about it carefully. After all, it's your lifelong happiness, and you can't afford to be careless."

Dongfang Chen originally thought that Bai Zhixi's feelings for Jun Mohan weren't deep enough, and that he still had a chance.

However, to see the woman leaning on his shoulder crying so bitterly, it was obvious that he could not accept this.

He knew that Jun Mohan would win this time.

However, it didn't matter. There was still half a year left, and he could afford to wait.

"Crown Prince, I'm sorry. I lost control of myself in front of you."

Bai Zhixi pushed him away, dried his eyes, and strove to calm down.

"Crown Prince, I, Bai Zhixi, clearly love you. If you love me, then you love me. I clearly know how I feel towards Jun Mohan, and I know that I love him. Unless one day he fell in love with someone else and stopped loving me. He wouldn't pester me anymore and would leave in a natural and natural manner. Now, he's just sick. I'll definitely find the cure for him. If he couldn't find it, then he would accompany him through these six months of trials and hardships, and his heart would be satisfied. As for later, I don't think I'll ever fall in love again. Because loving one was too tiring. This is the result of my consideration. However, Xi Er still has to thank Crown Prince for her kindness. If he had a next life, Xi Er would have definitely met you earlier. "

She didn't know how she fell into Jun Mohan's whirlpool of love, but when she heard that he only had half a year left to live, her heart was actually in pain as if a knife had pierced her heart.

Now, all he wanted to do was accompany him for the rest of his life, and then find a way to return to the modern era.

As for Dongfang Chen, she could only say that she was fated to die.

Love was a very magical thing. What he believed in was the best. It had nothing to do with wealth or poverty.

But Dongfang Chen's identity and position were different, so there was no way for them to cross paths with each other.

"Xi Er, I never thought that you would have such deep feelings for him. I overestimated my place in your heart."

At this time, Dongfang Chen had a bitter smile on his face.

The cold wind blew at his hair and cut it off with the wind. The white cloth wrapped around his arm was dyed a dazzling red by the blood. It was so bright that it seemed to be terrifying.

"Crown Prince, your hand …"

In the panic, Bai Zhixi quickly took off the silk handkerchief in his bosom and carefully wrapped it around him, stopping the blood from flowing out.

"Xi Er, if I don't find the antidote, are you willing to give me a chance?"

Dongfang Chen looked at Bai Zhixi, who was bandaging her wounds again. With his attractive profile, Dongfang Chen couldn't help but pull her hand as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Crown Prince, let's talk about it when it really comes to that time!"

Bai Zhixi pulled back his hand and suddenly stood up.

"Alright, Xi Er. I will definitely wait for you."

Dongfang Chen touched the silk handkerchief on Bai Zhixi's wound, and smiled satisfyingly that spread across the corners of his eyes.

The two of them were speechless for a while. A fierce cold wind blew across the ravine, blowing at the red ribbon on the Seven Holy Trees. The red ribbon fluttered in the wind, making rustling sounds, adding to the endless fear of the desolate night.

"Xi Er, so you were here, causing me to have a hard time."

After a long while, the sound of footsteps came close to her, followed by Shangguan Jingyan's panting sound.

"Jing Yan, this cold night is heavy, your body has just started to color, why are you here?"

Bai Zhixi wanted to say something, but he didn't want to be the first to be snatched away by Dongfang Chen. Taking off his jacket and putting it on Shangguan Jingyan's body, he looked like he was in deep love with Shangguan Jingyan.

"Jing Yan greets Crown Prince."

Hearing Dongfang Chen's voice, Shangguan Jingyan was stunned, but after a moment, he reacted and anxiously bowed to him.

"Forget it, your health is not good. In the future, forget about all these gifts!"

Dongfang Chen supported Shangguan Jingyan and pulled her hair back from her ears as he spoke out those soft words. Shangguan Jingyan stood beside him and nodded like a little bird.

The two of them completely ignored the awkward Bai Zhixi and Zi Li who were standing at the side.

"Ah, Xi Er, I came to find you to deliver the red ribbon to you. Look at my memory."

Suddenly, Shangguan Jingyan seemed to have recalled something, she released Dongfang Chen's hand, and ran over with her skirt held up towards her head.

"Xi Er, I specifically asked for this red ribbon from Master Pu Hai. It's said that Master Pu Hai only has a total of five red ribbon, and it's said that Master Pu Hai did it before.

In an instant, he saw two red silk ribbons with red jade gold edges tightly clutched in her hands. Under the light of the candle, they caused her to feel dizzy, as if there was a giant hand tightly grabbing onto her. She was unable to breathe. He hurriedly supported Shangguan Jingyan in front of him, barely stabilizing his body.

"Is that so? Thank you. "It's just that it's so precious, you should just give it to someone who needs it. I can just use this."

Bai Zhixi pushed aside the red silk ribbon that she had given to him and casually shook the ribbon that Zi Li had prepared for her.

"Xi Er, I just want to tell you that no matter how many rumors spread outside that are not good to you, the relationship between your sister and I will remain as it was before. From the first time I saw you, I was attracted to you and felt a sense of attachment to you. Ever since that banquet, I've been attracted by your talents, so I wanted to be friends with you. Even though I am a precious daughter of the Tai Wei Prefecture, I may not have any close friends. If they aren't lustful of power, then they are full of scheming, and wholeheartedly wanted to use this high position to climb up. This is the kind of person that I, Shangguan Jingyan, hate the most in my life. So, can you please not push me a thousand miles away? "

After Shangguan Jingyan finished speaking, a trace of clear tears actually flowed down his face, looking really pitiful.
