Since she understood one thing, she has been more and more refusing Chu Yixuan. She knows that the one she likes is Ming Wang Chu Chengming.

  Still don't know how that guy is doing now? Has the poison on his body been resolved or not?

  Thinking of him, Yan Xikun couldn't sleep. She got up and sat in front of the copper mirror, looking at the scars on her face. The cuts had healed, but there were still ugly marks left behind.

  Although Xue Lian repeatedly comforted her, saying that the imperial physician in the palace would definitely cure the scars on her face, she knew clearly in her heart that no matter how they treated it, there would still be scars left.

  Does he care about it?

  It was as if she had a spiritual connection with him, and she heard his voice: "Why are you still awake so late?"

  "Are you thinking of me?"

  Yan Xijun turned his head to look, and was surprised to find that he had unknowingly jumped in, standing by the window, tall and straight, with a pale face, but unable to hide his elegant beauty.

  Yan Xijun's face turned red, she had just thought of him and he came, and was even guessed by him what was on her mind. She couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing here?"

  "I said I came to see a chess piece, are you satisfied?" He curled his lips and gazed at Yan Xijun with a nonchalant attitude.

  Yan Xijun's heart chilled and she smiled bitterly, oh right, she almost forgot, she was just his pawn after all, yet she had been expecting something.

  "Now you can go, this chess piece is fine for now, don't worry about it."

  Yan Xijun coldly smiled back at him. He had risked his life to sneak into the palace, but it wasn't actually to see her on purpose; he was just worried about whether his pawn was intact.

  Her eyes stung slightly, and tears were about to flow out. She sniffled, and her head drooped slightly.

  Chu Cheng Ming chuckled and walked up in front of her, saying: "What I said earlier was just teasing you. I'm really worried about you, that's why I entered the palace."

  "These words are true." Yan Xijun suddenly lifted her head and stared at him intently.

  "Of course." Chu Cheng Ming raised his hand and grasped her shoulder, "In the past few days, I've thought about many things, and I feel that there's something I must confirm with you."

  "What's wrong? He looks very serious, did something happen?"

  "Do you really like me?" Chu Cheng asked unnaturally, taking a deep breath, his heart pounding as he looked at her with some uncertainty.

  Yan Xijun's mouth was agape as she stared at him, what's wrong with him, his question was too direct.

  Time quietly slipped away, the air gradually solidified, and the atmosphere was very oppressive. In the darkness, only two rapid heartbeats and slightly heavy breathing sounds could be heard.

  Chu Cheng Ming waited for her response, seeing that she remained silent, he withdrew his hand and said: "Forget it, you don't have to answer, I understand."

  He caught the hint of despair in his eyes, and she grasped his hand, standing up hastily. "Is this answer very important to you?"

  Chu Cheng Mo lowered his head and looked at her, nodding firmly. He had finally figured out one thing - he used to think that he wouldn't fall in love with anyone in this world, but now he unexpectedly fell in love with her.

  Even if she was the emperor's concubine, he wouldn't mind; he could accept everything for her sake.

  "Then listen up." Yan Xijun summoned her courage and looked up at him, saying: "I really, really like you!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, her small face turned bright red, and her heart beat thump thump thump. It was the first time she had confessed to someone, and it felt like this.

  Chu Cheng Ming happily wrapped his arms around her, laughing like a child, "Really? I also like you! I knew it, you like me!" He said with a bit of pride, not forgetting to hold her tightly.

  Yan Xikun leaned comfortably in his arms, although he was thin, but his embrace made her feel very comfortable and at ease. At this moment, she no longer thought about being an imperial concubine, she just wanted to quietly nestle in his arms.

  It seemed like an eternity before she heard him ask her: "Leave the palace with me, okay? I'll take you to a good place, and we can leave this place forever."

  Yan Xikun was so happy that she couldn't speak, had this day finally come? She had always been looking forward to the day when there would be someone who loved her and whom she loved, taking her away from this luxurious birdcage, and flying together in pairs.

  She was about to nod when a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in the sky, also startling her awake. She didn't answer but instead asked: "Then will you still seek revenge?"

  Chu Cheng didn't expect her to say that and suddenly fell silent, he was so silent that he didn't know what to say.

  Yan Xijun clearly saw the hesitation and uncertainty in his eyes, as well as the pain and resentment. She reached out and hugged him back, saying firmly: "No matter what you choose, I'll be with you, never leaving or abandoning you!"

  Her brave confession made him find the answer all at once, and he said with a sudden realization: "I've figured it out, I'll take you away now, I don't want to seek revenge anymore."

  "Don't force yourself anymore." Yan Xijun gently pushed him away, "I understand your thoughts and I also understand your ideas. Otherwise, how about this? I'll help you find the 'Wordless Heavenly Book' as soon as possible, and then when the time comes, it won't be too late for you to make a decision."

  "Are you really determined to do this?" Chu Chengming said: "Staying by his side is very dangerous, I don't feel at ease about you."

  "It's okay, I'll be more careful next time." Yan Xijun comforted, being able to do something for the one she cares about, even if it's just a tiny bit of effort, she is willing.

  Yes, she is willing!

  Now that she has found her soulmate, she finally realizes that love is so wonderful and so happy.

  She finally understood that Chu Yixuan was really not her true soulmate.

  "Xiang Jun, may I ask you something?" Chu Cheng Ming asked softly from behind Yan Xiu Jun, embracing her and leaning on her shoulder.

  "He said." His black hair fell down and landed on Yan Xijun's neck, she felt itchy, used her hand to pull it a few times, and brushed his black hair away.

  Chu Cheng didn't mind her little movements and directly asked: "When did you start liking me?"

  "When did you start liking me?" Yan Xijun asked back.

  "You go first."

  Then you can say it first.

  "I asked you first, hurry up and tell the truth, or else...". Chu Chengming threatened to move his mouth closer to Yan Xijun's neck, intentionally saying viciously: "I'll bite your neck!"

  "Alright, alright," Yan Xijun surrendered helplessly. "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

  "I don't believe it." Chu Cheng Ming shook his head and said immediately.

  "Hmm, listen up, I believe in love at first sight." Yan Xijun reminisced: "Do you still remember our first meeting?"

  "Remember, deep in the peach blossoms, that time you eavesdropped on my conversation."

  "What's called eavesdropping? I just happened to be passing by and curiously overheard your secret." Yan Xijun gave him a white eye, at that time he was like two different people in a short period of time.

  "Uh-huh, never mind that. You didn't fall in love with me back then, did you?"

  "That's right, at that time I just had a good impression of you, I didn't expect there would be such a handsome man in the world. If you weren't so cold and ruthless back then, I might have fallen in love with you."

  "Haha, it seems you can't escape my charm after all." Chu Chengming burst out laughing, being handsome was indeed an advantage, and he really had to thank his mother for giving him good looks.

  "You want to die! Laughing so loudly, be careful you're discovered." Yan Xijun turned around and covered his mouth with one hand, saying anxiously.

  Chu Chengya pulled down her hand, gazing at her with deep affection, his mouth corners twitching with suppressed smile, he said: "I'm really happy tonight, it was worth coming."

  "Thank you for loving me, I will never let you down!" Chu Chengming said, his face already close to hers.

  She knew what he was going to do and she didn't want to refuse him either, so she just stared at him with tense eyes.

  The two people in the room were too serious and didn't notice that someone outside was watching this scene.
