Descent of the Phoenix 13 Years Old Princess Consort

To Act as the Regent Queen [6]

She is so close right now, almost within his reach. It seemed as if they would’ve been able to meet, yet…

He had rushed for four days and four nights over three thousand miles. He didn’t rest or sleep, thinking that they could be together again.

Yet he would’ve never thought that they would just say a few words. What’s more, those few words pained his heart.

He’s not willing to accept this.

He’s not willing to leave without fully understanding everything.

But…

Xuanyuan Che clenched his teeth, the horsewhip that he was holding onto was almost crushed.

The dark and starry night was cold and unfeeling.

Liu Yue didn’t hear Xuanyuan Che’s shout and so she turned around and left. However, Du Yi had faintly heard Xuanyuan Che’s voice. He immediately rushed towards the source of the voice.

“Emperor, let’s go. The military situation won’t wait for us.”

“Emperor, if you don’t believe it, we can come back in the future. Right now…”

Qiu Hen and Yan Hu continuously urged Xuanyuan Che to return.

Xuanyuan Che’s grip on the horsewhip became tighter and tighter. He needs to clarify the matters that had happened today. If he leaves right now, then the next time they meet there will likely be a wall between them. Love and trust aren’t everlasting. It can’t be mixed in with doubt and suspicion. Otherwise, their love and trust will be fermented and soon deteriorate.

Xuanyuan Che stood there for a long time.

“Emperor,” Qiu Hen tried to speak again. He didn’t even start when galloping sounds echoed nearby. Du Yi rushed towards them like lightning.

Xuanyuan Che swept his gaze across the person who is approaching towards them. His eyes immediately brightened when he realized it was Du Yi.

Du Yi has followed Liu Yue everywhere.

Yet he appeared at this time. So this means…

Xuanyuan Che immediately rushed towards Du Yi on his horse.

Qiu Hen and Yan Hu glanced at each other. Their expression was shocked. They also urged their horses to follow Xuanyuan Che. Could it be…

“Emperor, master wants to give this to you.”

Du Yi had really come to meet with Xuanyuan Che. He didn’t say anything else after that besides quickly giving him the bloody cloth.

There were only a few words on the bloody cloth as Xuanyuan Che unfold it.

The person who drinks it knows best whether the water is hot or cold.[1]
