Lady Li’s voice was choked, with a trace of grievance on her face: "I just wanted to co and see you, You Xi. Here, I’m not so Princess Consort Li, I’m just your close confidante..."
"However, a close confidante like you is sothing this Prince cannot afford!"
The young man’s voice was like a sword piercing Lady Li’s heart, causing her imnse pain.
The young boy she had loved for so many years could say such cruel words to her...
The him from those years seed to have faded with ti and disappeared...
"You Xi, I..."
"Shut your mouth!"
You Xi glared fiercely at Lady Li: "Don’t think I don’t know, the incident with Du Feifei was all because of you! You’re the one who suggested to the Emperor to search the General Manor. The Emperor, being suspicious, secretly sent people to investigate after your suggestion and discovered a secret passage. If not for you, how could Du Feifei have been imprisoned by the Emperor? How could the General Manor and the Pri Minister’s family have suffered such misfortune? Ah Li, you’ve changed, changed beyond recognition. You’re no longer that once pure and kind person. You’ve beco ruthless, making it impossible for to acknowledge you..."
Swish!
Lady Li’s face turned pale, and suddenly, she burst into laughter.
The mocking laughter echoed in every corner...
"Yes, I’ve changed. Do you not know why I changed? In this man-eat-man harem, how could I have survived without so ans? Do you know what kind of life I’ve been living all these years? Staying by the Emperor’s side is like staying by a tiger’s side. Every day I’m on edge, afraid of losing my life at any mont... How could I not change in such circumstances?"
"Back then, you could choose not to enter the harem, it was you who wanted change."
Lady Li retreated a few steps with a bitter smile: "If I refused, I would have to leave Demon City for the rest of my life and never set foot here again."
You Xi fell silent, and after a mont, he finally said: "Leaving Demon City wouldn’t have been bad, Ah Li, you should’ve left back then. This war here has changed you beyond recognition..."
"No, I will never leave Demon City!"
Lady Li scread sharply, because leaving Demon City would an she would never see him again...
So, she would rather beco his father’s concubine than leave this place.
"However, You Xi, I’m here to take you away," Lady Li’s expression gradually softened, pleading, "Will you leave with ? Let’s leave Demon City now and never return..."
You Xi didn’t expect Lady Li to say such words, glanced at her and said: "I will not leave!"
"Why? Why won’t you leave with ?" Lady Li’s voice trembled as she asked, her face pale.
"I... I can’t abandon Du Feifei! So, I will never leave Demon City."
Moreover, they couldn’t escape anyway...
"No, you must leave with !" Lady Li bit her lip tightly, "Don’t you know why the Emperor imprisoned you? It’s because the Priest told the Emperor that to bring the Demon Dragon back to Demon City, sacrifices must be made, and those sacrifices are you and Du Feifei and everyone else. If you don’t leave, you will lose your life at midday tomorrow..."
You Xi’s hand trembled slightly, he looked up at Lady Li in front of him and asked: "Is that man’s decision?"
