The two of them did not say anymore, but they could feel the slight changes in each other's feelings. Nalan Rongxuan's beautiful phoenix eyes carried a little smile.
After working hard for so long, Yue Luoxue finally found a chance to change her mind. Although it was such a sad chance, he was glad that she managed to grab hold of it.
After the meal, Yue Luoxue became a little anxious. She wanted to go see Tuoba Hong, but she was also guiltily afraid. She did not know how to face Tuoba Hong, nor did she know how to face him.
She had promised Tuoba Hong that she would cure his sister, but in the end, not only did she not manage to cure Tuoba Yu, she had even lost her life to Tuoba Yu.
Nalan Rongxuan naturally knew what she was thinking and said softly, ”The sky is getting late, so don't go over today. Tuoba Hong still has things to attend to.”
No matter who did it, Tuoba Yu was killed by the North Qi Imperial Family. In order to repay Tuoba Yu for saving him, Nalan Rongxuan provided Tuoba Hong with an unprecedented cooperation, and did not hesitate to reveal a corner of his power.
Tuoba Hong wanted to make the North Qi and royal family pay with blood, so he would lend him a helping hand and let him get what he wanted in the shortest amount of time.
This was because Nalan Rongxuan knew very well that Tuoba Yu's death had already become a thorn in his heart. Not only did it make his heart bleed profusely, it also made Tuoba Hong violent and tyrannical.
”Alright, even if Tuoba Hong will forgive them, I will definitely make them pay the price!” Yue Luoxue clenched her teeth and said.
Seeing that Yue Luoxue's expression had returned to normal, Nalan Rongxuan put down his guard and said indifferently: ”Alright, for the sake of performing well tomorrow, rest early.”
Yue Luoxue was slightly stunned, then said while looking at Nalan Rongxuan: ”You're leaving now?”
With that, she felt that it was a little inappropriate. This kind of tone made it sound like she was hoping that he would stay, although in reality, Yue Luoxue really didn't want to be alone and experience such a life and death experience once again. It made her feel a little lonely.
Nalan Rongxuan seemed to have seen through her thoughts, as he let out a faint, yet devastatingly beautiful smile. ”You're not safe, I'll cultivate here, and it won't hinder your rest.”
Yue Luoxue looked at Nalan Rongxuan in a daze. The current Nalan Rongxuan was indeed different, and so gentle that Yue Luoxue almost did not recognize him. She knew that Nalan Rongxuan had treated her feelings in order to take care of her, but she couldn't help but think, was Nalan Rongxuan this kind of gentleness when he treated his fiancee?
No wonder that unruly young miss was as meek as a cat in front of him. If there was such a gentle man treating her like this, she would be meek as well, alright?
Thinking of this, her face turned hot. How could she have such a thought? However, his heart felt a bit bloated, as if it was uncomfortable to eat too much.
”What else is there?” Nalan Rongxuan suddenly asked.
Only then did Yue Luoxue realize that she had been looking at him all this time. Her charming face flushed slightly, ”Oh, I just think that you're acting a little strange today.
”Oh? You like me to treat you like this? ” The corner of Nalan Rongxuan's mouth curled up, and his face revealed an evil smile.
Yue Luoxue was startled for a moment, and then a little annoyed as she turned her head. As expected, everything about the gentle and divine horse was an illusion, this fellow was completely unlucky!
However, Nalan Rongxuan didn't take any further action, he only smiled slightly, sat down on the side with his legs crossed, and began to cultivate with his eyes closed.
Yue Luoxue couldn't tell whether she was happy or disappointed. She also lied down quietly and unknowingly fell asleep again.
However, this night was not a peaceful one for the North Qi Imperial Family. Tuoba Hong's men crazily attacked Tuoba's imprisoned wangfei mansion. Although Tuoba had already moved his people away, he did not expect that an unexpected attack would take place and the wangfei was taken away by a group of unknown people.
And at ten in the morning, Tuoba Hong suddenly led his great army to attack the city. His iron blooded wrist caused the people of the North Qi and even the entire Black Sieve Continent to remember Tuoba Hong's name and that day when his blood flowed like a river.
A team that had always been hiding in the city suddenly appeared, coordinating with Tuoba Hong's team and opening the gates wide. Although Tuoba Hong's army did not massacre the innocent citizens of Lie Yang City, they did not show any mercy to the soldiers.
There was even less of a need to talk about the Imperial Family. The entire Imperial Palace was like a battlefield filled with blood that dyed the ground red. The crown prince, Tuoba Che, and the emperor were both captured alive.
As for Yue Luoxue, she found a lonely Tuoba Hu in a secluded corner of the palace. Her most beloved Princess Qing'er had chosen to flee with the others in the face of such a disaster, leaving him behind.
Yue Luoxue no longer had any sympathy for him and she handed him over to Tuoba Hong.
”Tuoba Hong, I'm sorry.”
This was the first time Yue Luoxue had seen him since Tuoba Yu's death, and was also the first time she officially apologized to him. She did not hope for Tuoba Hong to forgive her, but she could not not not apologize.
Tuoba Hong's heart tightened. It's not that he hadn't thought of Yue Luoxue in the past few days, it's not that he hadn't thought of going over to comfort her, but he still hadn't decided how to face her. He actually didn't blame Yue Luoxue, but he blamed himself even more.
Seeing that Tuoba Hong did not speak, Yue Luoxue's eyes dimmed inch by inch, and he probably truly blamed herself. She turned around dejectedly, and just as Yue Luoxue was about to leave, her arm was suddenly pulled back.
He turned his head and met Tuoba Hong's brown eyes. Although he felt sad and guilty, he did not reprimand him, ”Luoxue, I have never blamed you.”
This simple sentence made Yue Luoxue's tears fall like rain. Compared to her, this sentence was no different from being saved.
