When Dan Qing Han returned to the Prince Yu's Mansion's mourning hall again, she heard that the wangfei had fainted from crying just now, and the children had helped her back to the house. Ling Xuan Su was the only one left standing guard there.

Ling Xuan Su did not expect Dan Qing Han to return so quickly, his sharp eyes staring at her figure that was walking into the mourning hall.

"I want to spend the night with you." Without his consent, Dan Qing Han kneeled on the praying mat beside Ling Xuan Su.

His gaze blankly stared at the King Yu's coffin. When he thought about how Pei Sheng had generously admitted that the death of the King Yu was related to him, he only had one thought, and that was to return here to chat with Ling Xuan Su. Even more so, he wanted to defend the place for an entire night to atone for the slaughter that was occurring in Pei Sheng's hands.

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. After an unknown period of time, Ling Xuan Su finally spoke: "Go." His tone was filled with indifference and alienation.

Dan Qing Han withdrew her gaze, staring straight at the brazier in front of him that was still burning with flames, and said softly: "I want to talk to you."

Dan Qing Han understood that sooner or later, the two of them would reach this stage.

She suddenly thought back to the things that happened when she was together with Ling Xuan Su a few years ago. Everything was as clear as it was yesterday, when they were talking and laughing on the way to Henan Province, flirting with Ling Xuan Su in a brothel, being pulled out as a shield. She brought out roast duck for him late at night.

"I still remember two years ago, when I was being punished in the Lu Fu. When I was full of injuries, you rushed in recklessly and wanted to take me away, I was just thinking, if you really had the courage to take me away, maybe I could let go of that so-called perseverance and pride and marry you, even if it was a concubine."

"But I'm very glad that at the end, you still let me go because that way, you won't give up the responsibilities you should have for me, and I won't let go of my pride because of my guilt towards you."

Ling Xuan Su looked at Dan Qing Han's lowered eyebrows as her chest slowly rose and fell. Her thoughts surged, and she finally mocked herself: "Do you love Pei Sheng? Is it just because he can give you a name? "

Dan Qing Han shook her head: "I don't know if that is love, I only know that he is a person that I have admired since I was young. He is like a belief in my life, with him as my goal to work hard and strive for it."

"So, whether you love him or not, you will always be on his side? Even against me, right? "

Without any hesitation, she whispered, "Xuan Su, I'm sorry."

He asked, "Do you really believe in your choice? Aren't you afraid that you will regret choosing Pei Sheng? "

She gave a sad smile and said with determination, "Since I have made my choice, I will never regret it, much less think of a way out."

He stared at the side of her face. He couldn't remember how many times this beautiful face had appeared in his dreams. He didn't know when she had taken root in his heart or how many times he had made his plans, unwilling to include her in his plans.

He struggled in conflict and hesitated. Many emotions had caused him to fall into disarray many times, and he almost forgot his responsibilities. Especially that time in the Yangzhou, he gave up on his meticulously planned plan just for her. Furthermore, it led to the tragedy of his father dying miserably at the hands of Pei Sheng, all of this was caused by him, and it was all because of this woman in front of him.

Do you regret it?

Perhaps it was out of regret, but even more so, she was unwilling.

However, there was no time for him to regret. The tragedy had occurred, and he had no choice but to face it.

From today onwards, he would be the one to shoulder everything in the Prince Yu's Mansion and take revenge for his father.

"Remember that night when I told you that no matter what our political stand in the future, I wanted us to remain friends. Now, I want to take back this saying. " Ling Xuan Su said indifferently, his tone this time was completely indifferent without a single trace of emotion.

Dan Qing Han lowered her head and quietly burned the paper money, as her heavy gaze seemed to be thinking about something.

"Originally, I had been hesitant whether or not I should give you two a congratulatory gift on the day of your wedding with Pei Sheng. But now, it seems like I no longer need to hesitate." Ling Xuan Su withdrew his gaze from her body, his gloomy eyes stared at the coffin, and said each word: "Pei Sheng had hatred for me for killing my father, and you … Since he's his Madame, then let's endure it together. "

After speaking, he abruptly stood up and prepared to leave.

"Xuan Su." Dan Qing Han called out to him, "Can you be my friend for the last night? "I want to stay here and spend the night."

"Does it make sense?"

"Yes."

"But I don't think so." Ling Xuan Su turned around and looked at her coldly, "Prince Yu's Mansion does not welcome you, you can go now."

But now, she had chosen Pei Sheng, so she was definitely going to lose him as a friend.

One could not have both the fish and the bear paw. Since that was the case, he could only bear with the pain and give up.

But she would never forget what Ling Xuan Su had done for her.

"You, take care." Dan Qing Han looked deep into his eyes, said a few words in a low voice, and then left with large strides.

The moment she stepped out of the mourning hall, she looked at a pair of shocked eyes. It was unknown when Lu Fei Yu stood outside the shrine, nor how long he had listened in on their conversation. Dan Qing Han did not have the energy to question her further.

After exiting the Prince Yu's Mansion, Dan Qing Han felt her body getting a little cold from the night breeze. She put her arms around herself and slowly walked along the desolate streets, thinking of the pain and hatred in Ling Xuan Su's eyes, as if she could feel it.

That year, when the Yao Family was annihilated, she still did not know who the real culprit was, yet, when Ling Xuan Su clearly knew that the culprit behind the death of his father was Pei Sheng, he was still able to endure in such a manner.

When she raised her eyes, she saw a tall and straight body charging into her vision. She only saw that on the corner of a street, Pei Sheng was standing with his hands behind his back, staring deeply at her.

This was the place where they had parted.

In an instant, his heart felt as if it had been struck by something, and his heart throbbed without reason.

"You've been waiting for me?" Dan Qing Han asked.

"Why are you crying?" Pei Sheng asked in a low voice.

Dan Qing Han stretched out her hand to wipe his face, tears wetting the hollow of her palm. His face was actually covered with tears, unaware of it.

It's the first time that Pei Sheng saw her crying like that. It's full of pity for me, his heart seems to have sunk into softness, and he asked: "Ling Xuan Su bullied you?"

Dan Qing Han shook her head. "No, I've let him down."

"Everything in this world is within your heart and within your desire. How can you be ashamed of it?"

"You don't understand. He and I were once very good friends. He has done me a favor several times, but now we have met on a strange path. It's like he's being cold."

Pei Sheng lovingly held her cheeks, and wiped the tears off her face with his fingertips, "Fool, you still have me."

Dan Qing Han gazed at him, and asked hesitantly: "Will you take responsibility for me?"

Pei Sheng focused on her and promised, "Pei Sheng will not let you down in this life."
