When Su Yunling sat up from the couch, Linglan, who had been blocked outside the door, also rushed in.

Linglan was still in shock, and immediately went over to tie up Su Yunling's torn collar.

Before the master and servant could say a word, they were attracted by Xiao Ji Chen and Tuoba Ye fighting nearby.

The two men were originally fighting back and forth and it was difficult to tell who was the better one, but Tuoba Ye had been drinking and Xiao Ji Chen was obviously angry, so he quickly disrupted Tuoba Ye's attack rhythm and beat him until he had no strength to fight back.

Xiao Jichen's fists hit Tuoba Ye's flesh one after another. If it weren't for Tuoba Ye's special physique, an ordinary person would have lost his life long ago.

Fortunately, Tuoba Ye's guards arrived quickly and surrounded the entire palace.

"Your Highness, we are surrounded." Fei Peng reminded Xiao Jichen while taking a defensive stance and retreating.

Xiao Ji Chen, who had been blinded by bloodlust, finally regained his senses. He grabbed the injured Tuoba Ye and pulled out a dagger, pressing it against his neck.

In order to rescue Su Yunling, he made an impulsive and reckless decision for the first time: he broke into the Xirong Palace at night with only Fei Peng and Qing Ying.

If exposed, then hold Tuoba Ye hostage.

The idea was crazy and bold, but he did it anyway.

No matter what the outcome is, he has no regrets.

The archers of the Western Rong were already in position. As long as Tuoba Ye gave the order, they could shoot Xiao Jichen and others to death.

Su Yunling raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jichen. This was the first time they had met in several months. They didn't even have time to say a word before it was probably their farewell.

But just that one look at each other, the determination in each other's eyes is worth a thousand words.

Tuoba Ye ignored the dagger that Xiao Jichen was holding against his throat, and looked at Su Yunling with pain in his eyes, "I give you two choices. Choose me and stay in Xirong to be the most honorable woman in this country. Choose him and die with him under a thousand arrows."

Su Yunling looked at Tuoba Ye, her eyes full of irony and hatred: "You know what? I thought you were really dead before, and I was sad for you for a while, but if you were dead now, I would definitely be very happy."

Tuoba Ye's mouth choked, and the pain in his eyes became more intense, "Why?"

"Because you disappointed me so much, I don't recognize you at all anymore." Su Yunling's words were like a sharp knife piercing Tuoba Ye's chest.

Tuoba Ye was panicking, "No... I just..."

Su Yunling turned away her cold gaze and turned to look at Xiao Jichen with a gentle and firm look:

"If you want to kill us, just do it! You'll be killed too anyway."

Tuoba Ye's heart felt as if it was being suffocated by a hand, "You really would rather die with him than stay with me?"

"If you still care about the relationship we had back then, you should repent in time and stop desecrating the young man in white who is as bright as snow in my heart." Su Yunling said firmly.

"Bold assassin! Why don't you let go of our king and surrender?" The commander-in-chief shouted. The dangerous atmosphere was tense and archers might shoot at any time.

Linglan was trembling with fear, while Feipeng and Qingying were also tense and sweaty.

Tuoba Ye looked at Su Yunling with a determined look. She was like a handful of sand in his palm. The more he wanted to hold her tightly, the faster she slipped away.

“…Let them go!”

Everyone was stunned, but they had to obey the king's order.

"Prepare a carriage for us, and then trouble Your Majesty to personally escort us out of the city." Xiao Ji Chen's voice was cold, and the dagger in his hand pressed against his neck again.

A string of blood beads appeared in an instant.

Tuoba Ye did not resist. He agreed to have a carriage prepared and took the initiative to cooperate with Xiao Jichen to bring Su Yunling and others out of the palace.

With their king as a hostage, the people of Western Rong only followed from a distance and did not dare to act rashly.

Only after Su Yunling and Linglan got on the carriage prepared on the side did Xiao Jichen take Tuoba Ye to the driver's position. The carriage had a smooth journey and soon ran out of Monsa City.

Tuoba Ye, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke coldly: "Your Highness the Prince of Jin, aren't you afraid that my Western Rong cavalry will crush your Great Yin?"

Xiao Jichen spoke each word with emphasis: "I'll be with you anytime!"

"Okay... I really admire the courage of His Royal Highness Prince Jin, so..."

"I have something to tell you alone." Su Yunling lifted the car curtain and interrupted Tuoba Ye.

Both men were shocked, but although Xiao Ji Chen had some reservations, he did not stop them.

Tuoba Ye didn't know why he was unwilling to face her. Perhaps he knew very well in his heart that this time, he really lost her.

Maybe the first word you open is a farewell.

The carriage stopped in the stone forest of the Gobi Desert. Su Yunling and Tuoba Ye walked a few steps deeper into the forest. Xiao Jichen stood above the stone forest, staring at the two of them coldly with a resentful look on his face.

Su Yunling stopped and turned around to see Tuoba Ye with a guilty look in his eyes:

"Qiqi, I'm sorry! I was drunk and confused, and almost hurt you."

Su Yunling's eyes were complicated. She didn't want to forgive him at all. Not any harm could be forgiven just by saying sorry.

But since it concerns the peace and stability of the people of the two countries, there are some things she must make clear to him.

"I don't care whether you are Xuan Mo or Tuoba Ye. Since you have become the ruler of a country, I hope you can be a good emperor and no longer be trapped by petty love affairs."

Tuoba Ye felt a dense pain in his heart, "Qiqi, we really... can never go back to the past, right? You won't forgive me, right?"

Su Yunling's mind kept recalling their simple and beautiful past, but her heart felt depressed and heavy.

Not only them, who else can easily go back to the past?

If they are destined not to be friends anymore, they can be strangers who live in peace with each other. In this way, they can secretly reminisce about the happy past in a corner where no one is paying attention.

But if we become enemies, the memory of our former self will inevitably cause heartache and tears.

"This is my last chance to give you! A chance for me to stop hating you! If you continue to be stubborn and even let the people of the two countries fall into war for your own personal grudge, you will be my enemy forever."

After hearing this, Tuoba Ye staggered and fell heavily against the stone wall.

This nine-foot-tall man who stood tall and proud was actually crying. His eyes were red and a layer of mist gathered in them. He could hardly see her face.

"Promise me that you will be a good emperor and stop blaspheming the young man in white who is as bright as snow in my heart."

Memories have gone with the wind, the past is hard to retrieve, and when you look back, everything has turned into smoke.

Tuoba Ye's throat choked with sobs, and his voice became hoarse: "Okay, I promise you."

"Yeah." Su Yunling responded, which was the last bit of tenderness she gave him in response.

She turned around, left the past behind, and headed towards her future.

"Qiqi, wait a minute..." Tuoba Ye's Adam's apple rolled, "If, I mean if he treats you badly, as long as you come back, I will always be here for you."

Su Yunling paused slightly. She didn't answer, but just turned back and glanced at him.

At that moment, the young man in white in my memory overlapped with the man in front of me.

"Qiqi, I'm sorry, I wish you happiness..."

【Goodbye, never see you again. 】

She didn't say a few words, but when she turned and left, her eyes were filled with tears...
