Concubine Yan, count yourself as cruel

"Then will you forgive him? We can all see that Ruoyan loves you. In the past three years, he has never stopped looking for your whereabouts."

Hateful people also have pitiable qualities. When listening to Yi Xuan talk about Leng Ruoyan's life in the past three years, Shuangshuang also sympathized with him.

What's more, Linglong still loves him.

Linglong smiled and shook her head, "He loves me, but this love doesn't even have the most basic trust. I don't have the courage to accept such a relationship that can't stand the test."

She once believed in the promise he made, and she paid a heavy price.

Once she fell, she would not make the same mistake again.

"But, Ruoyan, he will not give up." Shuangshuang sighed.

Linglong smiled, stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and bathed in the soft sunset, "That is his business and has nothing to do with me."

Today, she is not the simple Cheng Linglong she was three years ago. She will no longer risk her own life for love, and she will not regret even a moth flying into a flame.

Shuangshuang wanted to persuade her again, but Linglong turned around and smiled at her, "Shuangshuang, I know that you and Yi Xuan both hope that we can reconcile, but your efforts will be in vain. Ruo Yan and I,

It's impossible. Even if I love him, I will never go back to him."

"Thank you for listening to me telling these old stories today. I'm fine now, so you don't have to worry. It's getting late, and I have to go back and prepare dinner for you."

She waved to Shuangshuang, then turned and left. The forced smile could no longer be maintained, and tears fell silently, blurring her vision.

Shuangshuang looked at her slender back and felt sour in her heart. Linglong's life was too bitter.

Xiao Yixuan glanced at the figure in the pavilion, his eyebrows furrowed, he turned sideways to look at Leng Ruoyan, and sighed in a deep voice: "Ruoyan, you have also heard Linglong's thoughts. What should I do in the future, but I can only look at you."

It's up to you. If you want her to open up to you, you have to show your sincerity."

Leng Ruoyan's eyes were filled with pain. He unclenched his fist, suppressed the surge of regret and anger in his heart, and nodded to Xiao Yixuan, "Thank you, I know what to do."

"Well, that's good." Xiao Yixuan patted him on the shoulder, then walked out of the bamboo forest to see his wife. Leng Ruoyan's eyes were red, and he turned and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest, looking for a place to vent his frustration.

Shuangshuang was sitting alone in the pavilion, holding her knees with her hands, her reddish star eyes glowing with water, like an abandoned child. Xiao Yixuan felt a pain in his heart and walked over quickly.

"Shuang'er." Xiao Yixuan held her in his arms and called her name softly.

Shuangshuang buried her face on his chest and asked sullenly: "Yixuan, will you not believe in me one day? Just like Leng Ruoyan did to Linglong?"

Linglong is right, love without even the most basic trust is too fragile and cannot withstand the test.

She couldn't imagine whether Yi Xuan would believe her if the same misunderstanding happened.

Listening to her silly question, Xiao Yixuan laughed helplessly. He grabbed her chin and asked her to raise her head, "Shuang'er, if I didn't trust you, we wouldn't be here today at all."

When he made up his mind to marry her, he had given her all his trust.

"I won't let anyone have the opportunity to hurt you, including myself, do you understand?" Xiao Yixuan said to her sincerely as he reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Yes." Shuangshuang took his hand, placed it on her heart, and said to him seriously: "If you make a mistake, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."

Xiao Yixuan took her cold little hand, wrapped it in his palm, and said warmly: "No, I swear."

I wouldn't have done it before, and now that I have learned Leng Ruoyan's lesson, I won't do it anymore.

☆☆☆

At night, Leng Ruoyan was still in the same room as Linglong. Due to what happened in the afternoon, Linglong had not said a word to him since she came back. She did not speak, so Leng Ruoyan had no choice but to sleep on the floor.

In the dark night, Leng Ruoyan looked at the person on the bamboo couch. His heart felt as if someone was holding it tightly, and he was suffocated by the pain. He could clearly hear every word she said to Shuangshuang in the pavilion.

.

Those hurts that have become a thing of the past have long been deeply engraved on Linglong's scarred heart. No matter how hard he tries in this life, he cannot erase them.

How did she survive these three years?

Is it based on hatred for him?

She said: Even if I love him, I will never go back to him.

Is there really nothing he can do to save it?

From the moment he met her, he had taken her into his heart. How could he let her go after so many years?

"Linglong..." He called her softly. The explanation was feeble, but he still wanted to let her know what he was thinking.

"..." Linglong clutched the quilt tightly and pretended to be asleep. She didn't want to pay attention to him, especially after thinking of those painful pasts.

Leng Ruoyan knew that she was actually awake, but she didn't even want to say a word to him, which made Leng Ruoyan's heart even more bitter.

"When I was dealing with the disaster in the palace, I received a letter from an unknown source, which said that you had done something sorry for me... I didn't believe it, but I was worried that something would happen to you, so I rushed back to the palace overnight.

When I arrived at your bedroom, the maid who served you was so secretive that I wouldn't be allowed in. As soon as I thought of the letter, I became suspicious. At that time, I watched you and that man lying naked.

On the bed, I admit, I was mad. You are mine, how could you let other men touch you? So, I killed him in front of you." Leng Ruoyan slowly stated his mood at that time.

, regardless of whether Linglong believed it or not, he would take this opportunity to tell her everything.

"Your maid confirmed that you had been having an affair with him for a long time, and took out many letters, all in your handwriting. From the day I met you, you have always been the only one in my heart, and I cannot accept your removal.

Besides me, there are other men in my heart, and you can only be mine! I was so angry that I lost my mind, so I decreed that you should be thrown into the cold palace."

"Seeing you crying every day, it hurts me too, and I really want you to come back, but I just can't forget what I saw. That day, you fainted, and I rushed to see you, the imperial doctor

When I said you were pregnant, at that moment, I was really happy. I was going to be the father of the emperor. But the next words of the imperial doctor sent me to hell. He said that you were only one month pregnant. One month? I was

I stayed in the border military camp for two months, how could you be pregnant for one month? So, I only listened to the words of the imperial doctor and decided that you had betrayed me. It was your child and someone else's. I couldn't bear to let you

Give birth to him."
