Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 384 The End (1)
The rebellion came and went quickly. After disintegrating all the cliques of Prince Gong, Zhao Linfeng and others, Xiao Tingxuan stabilized the turbulent court with vigorous and resolute means. The four major families that disintegrated after Qingdi quelled the two palace turmoil in the past made him feel awe and appreciation for the prince who was known as a child prodigy since he was a child.

The emperor and empress are in a difficult situation now, Xiao Tingxuan is ready to leave for Hezhou after arranging everything.

This night, there were few stars in the night, and Ling Xihan had just finished taking a bath, leaning on the imperial concubine's couch in a daze.Suddenly a figure flashed outside the window, and then I heard that gentle and magnetic voice resounding in the quiet night.

"It's so late, haven't you slept yet?"

She raised her eyes, Xiao Tingxuan had already come to her, bent slightly, and sat in front of her.

Ling Xihan looked at his smiling phoenix eyes, but suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart.She suddenly stretched out her arms, embraced Xiao Tingxuan, closed her eyes, and murmured.

"Xuan..." The call was as low as a gnat, but it was full of deep affection and heartache. It buzzed in Xiao Tingxuan's eardrums and exploded in his heart.Originally stunned by her sudden action, his eyes narrowed because of this extremely gentle and painful call, and his eyes were full of pity and pain.

He stretched out his hand to hug her, and gently stroked her silky black hair with one hand, with a soft smile on the corner of his mouth.

"what happened?"

Ling Xihan bit her lip and said nothing, but her eyes were full of grief and heartbreak.

Xiao Tingxuan faintly sensed something, his heart sank slightly, and the hand holding Ling Xihan tightened.

"Girl..."

Ling Xihan's body stiffened suddenly, and a suffocating pain hit her heart, making her throat choked up and unable to speak a word.

She stretched out her hand suddenly, trying to grab Xiao Tingxuan's pulse, but Xiao Tingxuan stopped him lightly.

"Girl, don't..." He let go of her, and his phoenix eyes looked at her sadly, with unspeakable bitterness and pain.It turned out that his feeling outside the dungeon this morning was not wrong, the familiar aura was her.Only when she gets close will he not be on guard.Then, she must have heard the conversation between Prince Gong and him.She knew it, knew that he was poisoned by Gu poison, and his life would not be long...

Suddenly, his whole body became cold, and the bone-piercing pain buried him.Thinking of his mother's loving and sad eyes, thinking of the result that he didn't want to face but would happen sooner or later.His heart couldn't help constricting for a while, the pain made him almost suffocate.That kind of pain is a thousand times more painful than the first time he suffered from Gu poison when he was young. That kind of pain is connected from the body to the heart and spread to the soul.The onset of Gu poison would make him in pain, but the pain in his heart made his life worse than death.Especially, thinking of a certain day, thinking of that event...

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ling Xihan looked at him with dazed eyes, hurt and heartache.She always felt that Xiao Tingxuan was hiding something from her, but she didn't want to, did he actually endure such pain?
Xiao Tingxuan shook his head and stood up.He walked to the window, and the silver light of the moonlight poured down, pulling his thin figure out of a lonely shadow on the ground.

"I never told you that the queen mother's blood contains Gu poison." He said this calmly, without even frowning, but Ling Xihan felt even more heartbroken when he heard it.

She stood up and walked over to him.

"Is there no way?" She was proficient in Gu art, but why didn't she find the Gu poison planted in Xiao Tingxuan's body?
As if guessing what she was thinking, Xiao Tingxuan smiled faintly.

"The Gu was originally planted in my mother's body. In order to regulate my body, my mother drew out the Gu worms later, but the residual poison has not been cleared away." He raised his head and sighed to the moon, his voice was bitter and self-deprecating.

"The Gu poison is inherently vicious and weird. If it is moved over and over again, the poison will be more than multiplied." He closed his eyes, and his fingers hidden under the wide sleeves were slightly bent, as if he was trying to suppress something.

"The Gu poison in my body has already been suppressed by the joint efforts of my father and mother, so even you who are proficient in this way can't detect the slightest difference."

Ling Xihan lowered his eyes, then raised them again.

"Tell me, how can I get rid of the Gu in your body?"

Xiao Tingxuan turned his head sideways, seeing her star-like eyes filled with anticipation and worry, and felt a twinge of pain in his heart.He suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms with a soft voice.

"Girl, if one day... I die, will you shed a tear for me?" He himself found it funny when he asked this sentence. When would he care so much about whether a woman misses him deeply?But when he saw her bright eyes, he subconsciously asked this question, and he was still looking forward to her answer.

"What are you talking about?" Ling Xihan glared at him when he slipped, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Tingxuan, remember, if you dare to die before me, I will go to the Temple of Yama to find you out, and then ..." She choked up sobbing as she cursed, and finally couldn't help crying.But he slapped his chest with his fist and kept cursing.

"Xiao Tingxuan, you bastard, you big bastard, you don't take me to heart at all, you..."

"Don't cry." Xiao Tingxuan felt pain in his heart, wiped away tears for her pitifully, sighed softly, and hugged her into his arms again.

"If I don't put you in my heart, who else can I put in my heart?"

Ling Xihan was taken aback for a moment, but she couldn't stop her tears, sobbing, she said, "I don't believe your nonsense?" Even though she said that, she didn't push Xiao Tingxuan away.

The corners of Xiao Tingxuan's mouth were bitter, his eyes were half closed, and his voice was soft and heavy.

"Girl, if there is such a day..." He looked out of the window with blank eyes, a little empty and confused.

"Forget about me."

Ling Xihan trembled, bit his lips tightly, and pushed him away resentfully and angrily.

"Xiao Tingxuan!"

Xiao Tingxuan was shocked by her thunderous roar, looked at Ling Xihan who was sad and self-deprecating in a daze, and suddenly panicked in his heart, he stretched out his hand to pull her.

"Girl, listen to me."

"Say what?" Ling Xihan avoided his touch, her voice was surprisingly quiet.Those eyes with bright Ruoqiu pupils were as clear as water, but they also carried a deep sense of pain and chill.

"If I had known today, why did you come to provoke me? Now, why do you say such things to me? Xiao Tingxuan, what do you think I am? Do you come and go when you are called?"

Xiao Tingxuan's eyes tightened, and his tone became a little more anxious.

"No, I..." He wanted to explain something, but stopped when he reached his mouth.

Ling Xihan's eyes were dim with tears, and he didn't see the regret and complexity that flashed in his eyes.

"What is that?" Her voice was light and light, but it hit Xiao Tingxuan's heart like a heavy hammer, and the pain came unexpectedly.
