C56 Phoenix Transform Sparrow (1/2)

Inside the room, Liu Zhixue, who had been pushed away by Nangong Lin, looked at her thoughtfully.

Before coming to the Cold Palace, Nangong Lin already knew why Liu Zhixue was locked up here. The reason why she came was because she did not want to see her deeper in.

The two of them had grown up together, and Nangong Lin felt that he would soon not know Liu Zhixue anymore. She was so kind and naive in the past, but now, her mind was full of scheming.

Nangong Lin had seen all of this. The Crown Prince's banquet, her shrewdness, made Nangong Lin sigh emotionally. The Xue'er he knew had long since disappeared with the change in time.

As for the other matters, Nangong Lin could allow Liu Zhixue to do whatever she wanted. Once it touched Yan Xiaoxi, he would definitely not tolerate it. No one would be able to harm a single hair on her head.

Liu Zhixue froze on the spot in surprise. She called out numbly, ”Big Brother Lin.”

”Xue'er, do you know why Ben Wang has come to find you?”

”Didn't you let me out?” Liu Zhixue knew that Big Brother Lin loved her.

”This King did not come with the intention of doing so.” Nangong Lin's voice was indifferent.

Liu Zhixue nodded and continued to ask, ”Then why did Big Brother Lin come here?”

Looking at the calm Nangong Lin in front of her, Liu Zhixue had an indescribable feeling in her heart. The pampering in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with a deep questioning.

It was as if she was looking for someone to hold accountable for her, causing Liu Zhixue's heart to instantly turn cold.

”What did Xue'er do to get locked in here?”

”I …” Liu Zhixue wanted to say something but hesitated. Why would she tell Nangong Lin that she was locked in the cold palace because she wanted to kill Yan Xiaoxi?

She only wanted to show her beautiful side in front of Nangong Lin. She did not want him to know even the slightest bit about her ugliness.

”Just because you don't say anything doesn't mean that This King doesn't know of some things.” The smile on Nangong Lin's face disappeared as he coldly looked at Liu Zhixue.

When Liu Zhixue saw Nangong Lin looking at her, she became somewhat flustered.

Of course she knew. With Nangong Lin's power, even if she didn't say anything, he would still be able to investigate some of it.

”Big Brother Lin, Xue'er is doing this for the Southern Water Country.” Since it was useless to deny it, Liu Zhixue felt that it would be better to just admit it.

”For the Southern Water Country?” Nangong Lin muttered.

How grand was this reason? Liu Zhixue's words were filled with helplessness.

”Big Brother Lin, you have to believe me. Xue'er really didn't mean to hurt Princess Lin, and she simply misheard others' words. Truly.” As she spoke, Liu Zhixue even made the gesture of swearing an oath.

”This King is truly disappointed in you.” Looking at the stubborn Liu Zhixue, Nangong Lin even felt that his decision to plead for her back then was wrong.

”Big Brother Lin, Xue'er was confused for a moment. You must forgive me.” Hearing this, Liu Zhixue's heart trembled, and her tears immediately began to fall like rain.

Nangong Lin stood on the spot and stared at Liu Zhixue, who was covered in rain and pear blossoms, completely unmoved.

He had once thought that his feelings for Liu Zhixue were love. However, when he later discovered that Liu Zhixue was not the girl who had saved him when he was young, that feeling immediately disappeared.

After all, after being together for so many years, Nangong Lin had always treated Liu Zhixue as his own little sister.

This guilt had long since disappeared completely in the face of Liu Zhixue's gradually reckless actions.

The only thing left was to endure and tolerate.

Until now, Liu Zhixue was a stranger to Nangong Lin.

This was because she had long since become unrecognizable.
