Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

The night wind rustles and the shadows of the trees drift.

Ji Xingyao's heart suddenly started beating very fast.

System: [VIP, please confirm, ten years of lifespan exchanged for "Space Teleportation."]

For some reason, at this critical moment of redeeming the reward, Ji Xingyao had a strong feeling that Wen Yuan had left.

Ji Xingyao's voice was a little tense. She asked: [Did Ayuan complete the task?]

System: [Yes, host Wen Yuan has left this world.]

System: [VIP, please confirm——]

Ji Xingyao: [Your head, you bastard system, I won’t serve you anymore.]

System: [VIP, please don't swear.]

Ji Xingyao almost swore. The damn system wanted to cheat her out of ten years of life in exchange for a completely useless space teleportation.

Fortunately, the inexplicable telepathy between her and Wen Yuan allowed her to ask an extra question.

Otherwise, the system will take away ten years of your life for free.

After confirming the news, she was shocked and excited.

How did A Yuan do it?

I had only been away for half a day, but she had managed to escape.

Compared with the three years it took her, this efficiency is like riding a supersonic rocket.

God will reward those who work hard.

She can finally go back with Wen Yuan.

Ji Xingyao swept away her gloomy mood and walked out of the dilapidated temple happily. She stood under the corridor and looked up at the sky. There was still one minute left until midnight.

She is leaving too.

Outside the dilapidated temple, a man came galloping on a horse.

"Ling'er, Ling'er."

Li Heng, dressed in navy blue official attire for a prince, rode his horse at full speed, his deep voice revealing his undisguised anxiety.

In the afternoon, Li Heng went to the palace to find Ling'er. As soon as he stepped into the gate of Yonghe Palace, he ran into Li Ma.

Nanny Li told him that Ling'er had left the palace to buy rouge.

For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy. Without even saying hello to Wen Yuan, he immediately turned around and left the palace to look for Ling'er.

But after searching all the rouge shops in the capital, she was nowhere to be found.

A strong sense of uneasiness swept over his body. Li Heng thought of Ling'er's experience of being kidnapped by people from southern Xinjiang, and broke out in a cold sweat.

He immediately ordered Lu Feilin to lead the palace guards to search for the person.

The group searched until midnight, but still could not find Ling'er.

Li Heng's heart sank. They had searched almost the entire capital city, but where had Ling'er gone?

Finally, he decided to look for it in the ruined temple.

With the moon high in the sky and the whip whipping fast, Li Heng finally saw the person he had been thinking about.

Ling'er stood in the moonlight, quietly watching Li Heng rushing towards her.

10,9,8 .......

Ji Xingyao curled the corners of his mouth and slowly tore off the human skin mask on his face.

5,4,3 .......

Ji Xingyao's face was completely exposed in the moonlight.

Li Heng's breath caught and he stretched out his arms towards Ji Xingyao.

2——1——

"Li Heng, never see you again!"

"No—Xing—Yao."

When Li Heng's outstretched hand was about to touch Ji Xingyao, the person in front of him disappeared out of thin air.

He grabbed a handful of air, as if everything he had just seen was an illusion.

Li Heng dismounted in a hurry and searched around the place where Ji Xingyao disappeared like a headless fly.

"Impossible, impossible, don't leave me, don't..."

He knelt on the ground and dug the ground with his bare hands: "You are hiding, you must be hiding."

"Xingyao, Xingyao, don't go, I...wait for me, don't go..."

Li Heng's blue uniform was covered in dust. He almost lay on the ground, digging the ground frantically with his bare hands. All ten of his fingers were broken, and blood mixed with the black soil. Every movement was excruciatingly painful.

However, Li Heng seemed to have become numb to the pain, because there was a hand tearing desperately inside his heart, and he could no longer tell where it hurt more.

"hiss--"

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of horse hooves was heard.

Before the horse stopped, Lu Feilin jumped off quickly.

"Your Majesty..."

In order to find Li Heng, the horse under Lu Feilin was almost exhausted and foaming at the mouth.

The first thing Lu Feilin saw was his prince digging the ground with his bare hands like a madman, and the scarlet blood stung his eyes.

"Your Majesty, stop now, you are injured."

Li Heng was surrounded by great panic and had lost the ability to perceive the outside world.

Lu Feilin said it several times, but he didn't hear a word.

"Your Highness!" Lu Feilin half-knelt on the ground and grabbed his arm.

"Get out!" Li Heng growled, like a wounded lion, roaring and driving away all enemies who stood in his way.

Lu Feilin gritted his teeth and, risking being knocked away by Li Heng, forcibly grabbed him.

"Bold!" Li Heng's eyes were bloodshot and his palms were gathering strength.

"Your Highness." Lu Feilin clenched his jaw and said sadly, "The Imperial Concubine... has passed away."

Li Heng raised his hand but stopped in mid-air, as if he didn't understand what Lu Feilin said.

The next moment, he suddenly grabbed Lu Feilin and lifted him up.

"What the fuck are you talking about."

Lu Feilin shook his head in pain and choked up, "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine... has passed away."

Li Heng shook his head. It was impossible. How could it be that when he went to Yonghe Palace this afternoon, the emperor's sister-in-law was watching the fish in the pond in the backyard.

The emperor's elder brother had mentioned to him several times that the baby would be born in a few days. The joy and anticipation on his face made Li Heng extremely envious.

The happiness that he will never have in this life, his royal brother has.

but--

What did Lu Feilin say just now?

The emperor's sister-in-law died?

It's impossible. That's impossible. How could the emperor's sister-in-law die?

Li Heng looked down at the black hole dug in the ground and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Heh, heh, heh."

Li Heng was so angry that he suddenly vomited blood.

"Your Highness!" Lu Feilin quickly supported Li Heng who was about to fall.

Li Heng looked at the moon in the sky in despair. He felt that this was a punishment from God.

Let him lose Ji Xingyao, and let his brother lose his sister-in-law.

They were wrong, really wrong.

Can we let them come back?

He is willing to make amends for everything, no matter what the cost.

Scenes from the past played out before Li Heng's eyes.

Ji Xingyao and Wen Yuan were sent to the Fifth Prince's Mansion and the Crown Prince's Mansion respectively in a simple red sedan.

There were no red wedding dresses, no booming salutes, and even no blessings.

Two fools, accompanying two down-and-out princes, endured so much hardship and shed so many tears to get everything they have today.

But they let down two sincere hearts.

To the extent that they always want to leave and don't want to stay for a moment.

"what--"

Li Heng roared to the sky, I'm sorry, Xingyao, I'm sorry, Imperial Sister-in-law.

*

At Chou time, Lu Feilin brought the wounded Li Heng to Yonghe Palace.

Yonghe Palace, white curtains covering the sky.

All the palace maids were wearing white mourning clothes and kneeling in the yard.

Li Heng pushed Lu Feilin away and stumbled inside.

He was very familiar with this scene.

When he learned of Ji Xingyao's death, his mind was blank, just like now, and he had no idea what to do next.

One foot has just stepped into the threshold.

"Get out."

The young emperor would not allow anyone to step into this space. His voice was hoarse and he hardly sounded like a human.

"Brother, it's me."

Li Heng was not much better than Li Zhao; most of his soul and spirit had already dissipated.

The people in the room fell silent.
