Chapter 556.2: chao mu is here (2/2)

“Careless?!” Shu Xian laughed. “I had planned to take her out of the palace and come to Dongling together when the time was right. And I did, but I will never again hear her chattering beside me. After always listening to her talk all day, my heart can’t accept this sudden quietness.”

“I am sorry for Chao Mu’s death.” Guilt appeared on Su Xi-er’s countenance, and she grew even more sorrowful when she looked at Chao Mu’s rosy face. However, the dead should rest in peace. Chu Xian shouldn’t use such methods to keep Chao Mu behind.

“No, she isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.” Chu Xian instantly denied. He then walked towards Chao Mu and bent down to caress her face.

Su Xi-er watched him quietly. When enough time has passed, he will come to his senses and properly bury Chao Mu.

It was unclear how long Su Xi-er stayed there, but she wrapped her arms around herself as she began to feel cold.

Chu Xian turned his head to look at her. “You are afraid of the cold, but I want you to accompany Chao Mu.” He then looked towards Chao Mu. “I have to attend to court matters, so I’ll leave Su Xi-er here to keep you company. When I’m done, I’ll come to see you as soon as possible.”

He stood up and walked to Su Xi-er. “No matter how cold it is, you should stay with her. Chao Mu likes to stick to you the most.”

Su Xi-er looked at him and called out before he walked out. “I will keep her company, but bring me a thick cloak.”

Ice is preserving Chao Mu’s body, so I can’t ask for a heater, only a cloak.

“You shall stay here and bear the cold. Chao Mu isn’t scared, why should you be?” Chu Xian sneered and walked out.

After the door closed, Su Xi-er hugged herself and stared at Chao Mu’s unmoving body.
