Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 40 He Will Never Grow Old?
I finally walked into the Merlin again.

Standing there, Ling Chufeng was dazed for the first time on his always unpredictable face. When he looked at me, there seemed to be a trace of imperceptible pain flashing through his eyes.

"Xingsi, why are you so persistent?"

"Xing Si said, this time, it's not for redemption, not for persistence, but just for the emperor's explanation."

"..."

He looked at me and walked up to me as if he had made up his mind: "You want an explanation? Well, I will give you an explanation. Xuanyuan Xingsi, you are the same age as my son, Prince Dongping , and when he was born, I was twenty-four!"

This is his explanation?
I immediately said: "What about age? As long as you are sincere, even if you are 42 years older than me, Xingsi will accompany you forever!"

"Old?"

He suddenly sneered: "Xingsi, you see that I am still young, so you don't feel it at all. You can't feel that the person standing in front of you is an elder, a man who is not confused."

"I--"

"But if I tell you that I have not aged since I was 20 years old because of the poison in my body, and I will never grow old in the future, would you still dare to stay by my side?"

what? !

Being poisonous and never getting old? !

As soon as the voices of the dispute stopped, the entire Merlin returned to tranquility, but this tranquility was like the dead silence in a tomb, which made people feel chilly and biting.

He was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice was hoarse: "You still remember that gray wall outside Merlin."

I nodded.

"That's called 'Xiao Wall', and it's a taboo in the palace. I don't allow anyone to get close to it. Do you know why?"

I shook my head.

"Because there belonged to the late emperor's concubine—Concubine Xiao Gui. She was also Ling Chuyun's mother..."

"..."

When I looked at him, those eyes that were originally covered with ice and snow suddenly melted, and the eyes were as soft as spring water, as if I saw the most beautiful and moving scenery, and even the natural coldness on his body slowly melted away.

I can almost, already realize something.

"Wanting is two years older than me, and her name is mother and son, but in fact——I have never been so attracted to anyone as I am to her."

There seemed to be a faint stabbing pain in my heart, which made me a little short of breath, but I still looked at him, and saw the gentle expression on his face involuntarily when he was remembering.

"For her, I will give up everything. What's the point of this country without her? I've always thought this way...but I never thought that she didn't think so."

"..."

"She's seducing me."

"..."

"She made me do a lot of stupid things, and I do them willingly. Even if it makes my father unhappy, makes my father angry, and makes my father think that my son is a waste at all, even so, I don't care."

I suddenly felt tears welling up and a lump in my throat.

"Until one day, I discovered that my body had been poisoned for a long time, and all of this can only be done by the closest people!"
