C235 (2/2)

Xuanyuan Zhiling sat alone in his room, but this time he lived in the same room as before. Opposite of him was the same room that Qin Feng had once lived in, and Xuanyuan Zhiling opened the window to look at the crescent moon outside.

When he opened the door, Xuanyuan Zhiling took a deep breath. Here, he seemed to still be able to smell Qin Feng's scent, a faint scent of fragrant grass that he would never be able to forget.

”Xuanyuan Zhiling, there's nothing you can do. You already know that she doesn't belong to you, but you still like to think too much.” Xuanyuan Zhiling mumbled to himself, with a bit of self-mockery on his face.

Sometimes, Xuanyuan Zhiling felt that Qin Feng seemed to have always been by his side, but in the end, Xuanyuan Zhiling realized that it was because Qin Feng had always lived in his heart. When he heard Song Mingzhi's words in Black Butterfly Villa today, he had truly and utterly lost all hope. From then on, he was completely disappointed in Qin Feng as well.

”Qin Feng, from now on, I, Xuanyuan Zhiling, will never love you again.” Xuanyuan Zhiling silently told himself in his heart that maybe he really wouldn't be able to forget Qin Feng, but he couldn't be this stupid anymore. That night, Xuanyuan Zhiling unknowingly slept in Qin Feng's room.

In the morning, the room door was opened from the outside. Xuanyuan Zhiling unwillingly opened his eyes.

”Why is it you? Isn't it supposed to be a servant who came to help me wash my face? ” Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at Liu Yue who was standing at the door with a strange expression, and spoke with an indifferent tone, but his tone was still a little unnatural.

”Why is the emperor sleeping here?” Liu Yue's expression was a little complicated, but her eyes continued to stare at Xuanyuan Zhiling. Xuanyuan Zhiling raised the corner of his mouth and faintly smiled, as if he was concealing the awkwardness just now.

Taking the face washing water that Liu Yue was holding, she said: ”A pregnant woman shouldn't do this kind of work, it's good that a servant came to serve us. We were too tired last night, and unknowingly walked into the wrong room.” Xuanyuan Zhiling subconsciously started to explain, but he knew that there was no need to.

Liu Yue heard and laughed lightly: ”Serving the emperor is something a concubine should do. Those servants, how could they be as meticulous as a concubine?” She had cleverly changed the topic because she did not want to embarrass Xuanyuan Zhiling any more.

”We should head back to the palace soon. Have you finished packing your things?” Xuanyuan Zhiling said indifferently, not even sparing Liu Yue a glance.

Liu Yue smiled and nodded.

As she sat on the horse carriage, Xuanyuan Zhiling's mind was wandering the entire time, but because Liu Yue was sitting in the carriage, he could not see the expression of Xuanyuan Zhiling, who was sitting in front of the carriage. Thinking back to that day, when Qin Feng was willing to endure such a great amount of pain in order to save his injuries, and also thinking about how she wasn't even willing to see him once because of another man.

As the slowly advancing carriage got closer and closer to the imperial city, Liu Yue's mood while sitting inside the carriage became more and more agitated. But what she never thought to happen was that right at the entrance of the imperial city, the carriage suddenly stopped, causing her to almost fall out of the carriage.

”What happened?” Liu Yue frowned slightly, she opened the curtain and looked, what she saw stunned Liu Yue. As of now, the Imperial City gates were completely surrounded by refugees. This was the first time Liu Yue had seen such a scene, causing him to be stunned.

Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at these refugees, his heart feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

”Men, send all our food to these refugees.” Xuanyuan Zhiling knew that the only thing he could do now was to allow these refugees a full meal. When he returned to the palace, he would immediately distribute the food to them.

Liu Yue had originally been in a good mood to return to the palace, but now that everything was over, these refugees were just a bunch of idiots to her. The appearance of these refugees was too untimely, causing her to almost be unable to return to the palace.

”Your majesty, we should hurry up and leave. As chenqie sees it, this group of refugees is here to cause trouble. They should just give us some food and send them away.” Liu Yue said angrily, her eyes quickly sweeping across the group of refugees, her face full of disdain.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, it was as if something had stabbed into his ear. He suddenly turned to look at Liu Yue who had a face full of disgust, and stared at him with an almost astonished gaze.

”What are you saying?! Do you know how pitiful they are? ”You are really too much weaker than Qin Feng, if Qin Feng saw this scene, she would have definitely followed us off the horse to give them food, but you …” Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at Liu Yue with an expression of unfamiliarity and disappointment that she had never seen before.

Liu Yue was completely stunned, it was the first time Xuanyuan Zhiling protected Qin Feng like this in front of him, although Liu Yue knew that Xuanyuan Zhiling loved Qin Feng previously, but Xuanyuan Zhiling had never praised Qin Feng in front of her before.

Liu Yue wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth, but the voice seemed to be stuck in her throat and was unable to come out.

”Your Majesty, chenqie knows her wrongs.” Liu Yue's eyes became moist, she anxiously got off the car and distributed food to the refugees, she did not dare look back, as she was afraid that she would see Xuanyuan Zhiling's sharp eyes. However, Liu Yue's heart was shaking violently. It was Qin Feng and Qin Feng again, why did this woman have to be so persistent?

When she thought of this, Liu Yue started to hate Qin Feng even more, and wished that she could hack Qin Feng into a thousand pieces. Time passed quickly, Liu Yue had been busy working afternoon with Xuanyuan Zhiling, and had finally settled down the refugees, and they had smoothly returned to the palace.

”Your majesty, chenqie said something that shouldn't have been said before that caused your majesty to become angry. Chenqie truly deserves to die.” Liu Yue begged Xuanyuan Zhiling in the carriage for forgiveness, and when Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, he said indifferently: ”If you really want to be our woman, you need to know what is kindness. Even if you can't be a mother to the world, you need to love your people like children.
