No pop-up ads, so refreshing! Thanks for your support! Sounds good to me ^_^... Chapter 116

  Wearing a blue robe, Su Xi walked up to me and squatted down in front of me, looking into my eyes as she spoke: "Before, I didn't come in because I thought you should know the truth. But now, I'm going to take you away from here."

  "Mr. Su!" Tai An exclaimed in surprise.

  Su Xi didn't respond to him, still quietly looking at me: "I thought you would be doing well here, but I was wrong, he brought you nothing but scars. Qing'er, leave with me, even if I can't stay with you, but with your temperament, whether it's opening a medical clinic or being a ordinary mountain doctor or teacher, you will do very well, at least not as painful as now. As you said, staying here is just a dead knot, for both you and him, an unsolvable dead knot."

  I stared at him in a daze, he let out a soft sigh and reached out to hold my hand: "I'm not trying to force you, I just don't think staying here will bring you happiness. Knowing his helplessness, but the result is already irreversible, can you put it down and pretend nothing ever happened? I don't think so. So, tell me, how are you going to face him?"

  I was speechless, while Tai An stepped forward and said seriously: "Mr. Su, you saved the life of the princess, the whole mansion respects and thanks you, even if you just say a word, they would be willing to die for you. But now, you actually want to take away the current crown prince's consort, and even the future empress dowager, don't you think it's too absurd?"

  Su Xi gave him a cold look: "As long as she wants to, in Su's opinion, there is nothing absurd in this world. I could have used the method Mu Rongyu used to take her away, and if it were me, I would have done it flawlessly. But I didn't want to deceive Nan Chengyao, or do you think your master can bear the news of her death?"

  Tai'an was momentarily speechless, while Su Xiuzhen turned to me and said: "Qing'er, you think for yourself, but the time I can give you is not much. The earlier you leave, the more possible it will be. I'll only wait until Nan Chengyao finishes his mourning vigil and leaves the palace - since he can't protect you well, I'll take you away."

  I watched him walk out the door in his pale blue shirt, and suddenly remembered the time we met a woman with a terminal illness in Evil Doctor Valley. She was already beyond cure, not even "drawing eyebrows like frost" could save her. Su Xiu looked at the woman's husband pleading desperately, and the woman's painful expression, and simply handed him a poisonous pill that would kill her instantly, saying she might not want to drag it out anymore, but he couldn't bear to end it himself.

  I recalled the last faint smile on that woman's face, I recalled the expression of that man who was in pain and perplexity but finally broke free, I recalled the last words Su Xiu said - "It's better to make a decision sooner or later, procrastination only tires oneself."

  "Don't have to wait that long," I slowly stood up, looking at Su Xiu Yan, word by word, saying to him and also to myself: "You just need to wait for me to write a few words to him, then we can leave."

  "Your Highness!" Tai An exclaimed, no longer caring about etiquette, and rushed over to grab my hand: "You can't do this! What will the prince do if you leave?!"

  I closed my eyes, holding back calmness and opened my mouth: "General Manager Tai, you just said that you believe I will make a choice that is good for everyone. In my opinion, leaving is such a choice. I have no relatives or friends here, and I don't need to live for anyone else. Actually, we are all too tired. Only if I leave can the dead knot between me and Nan Chengyao be untied; otherwise, it will only strangle each other to suffocation. And I know that whether it's announcing to the world that I'm deceased or something else, he will inevitably find a reasonable explanation to make people believe."

  I gently pulled out my hand and walked into the small study on the other side of the bedroom, separated by a screen.

  He Feng Xuan is no match for Gui Mo Ge, the layout and scenery are much smaller, although there is a dedicated study room, it's too far away and located in a damp place.

  Shu Ying was worried that my body couldn't withstand the heavy dampness and chill, so she specially ordered someone to bring a screen and set up a small study in this bedroom. It's actually quite cramped and can't hold too many things, just a desk and a few shelves of books I often read, but it's already sufficient.

  Thinking of Shuying, I still can't help but feel a pang in my heart. I closed my eyes, perhaps leaving is the only path I can choose.

  Taking up the pen, it is still the purple frost of Xiangfei bamboo tube, and it is still the clear heart hall as clean as jade. Originally thought there were thousands of words, but at this moment, suddenly don't know how to put down the pen.

  In the end, only two words were left: "take care". In the end, it was when getting up that the paper was crumpled, wanting to leave, and what's the point of leaving empty entanglements.

  I stepped out from behind the screen, and Tai'an and Xunyun were nowhere to be seen. Su Xiuzhu stood quietly there, extending her hand towards me.

  Naturally, I knew it was impossible for me and him to be together again. But as he said, even if he couldn't stay with me, or open a small clinic in an unknown town, or just become a traveling doctor in the mountains, I didn't ask for a good life. I just wanted to let go of myself and also let go of Nan Chengyao.

  Ling Wu and others are outside the He Feng Xuan, we three people didn't bring any luggage, actually there is nothing here that truly belongs to me, what I can take away is only the spirit tablet of Xiao Ying.

  We had not gone far when the lights suddenly went out, and layer upon layer of guards holding torches surrounded us. Tai An, walking at the front, looked stern and said in a firm tone: "Princess, you are wrong. If I let you go, the problem between you and the prince would be an eternal dead knot that can never be untied. I cannot watch the prince being ruined, so no matter what, I absolutely cannot let you leave."

  "I haven't even spoken, and he turned to Su Xiuzhen again: 'Mr. Su, I know you and Lianmò are both masters with extraordinary skills, but relying solely on your own strength, I'm afraid it's also impossible to contend against the thousands of dead soldiers in the Three Kings' Mansion. They may not be a match for Mr. Su one-on-one, but if they were to attack together, under the wheel war tactic, Mr. Su would likely find it difficult to resist. Tai'an doesn't want to make things big, so he didn't alert the Imperial Guards and the Cavalry Camp, but if necessary, I will. So please, Mr. Su, think thrice, the Three Kings' Mansion is not willing to make things difficult for you, as long as you give up your intention of taking the princess away, no matter whether you want to leave or continue to stay as a guest, Tai'an will have no further words."

  Su Xiu Mian didn't say a word, he slowly drew out his sword, "Chen Shui Long Que".

  The sword was like frost, emitting a pale cold light in the dark night.

  After all these years, "Dragonfly in Amber" is out of its sheath once again, with a hint of bloodthirsty excitement and a long-lost earth-shattering splendor.

  I turned to look at him, his clear and elegant face was lit up with a soft glow by the moonlight and the candlelight, reflecting the extremely cold and clear sword light of "Dragonfly in Water", making people dare not gaze directly.

  His body was surrounded by a faint scent of medicine, and his voice was calm, neither angry nor surprised: "I Su Xiu has always thought about doing things, no one has ever stopped me."

  Tai'an's expression changed slightly: "Does Mr. Su really think that he can take the princess away with his own strength?"

  Su Xiu had not yet responded when Li Miao suddenly burst out laughing: "General Tai, why don't you take a look at the dead soldiers behind you first?"

  As if responding to her words, except for Tai'an and three or five guards who were relatively close to us, the rest of the people did not wait for her voice to fall, and they fell to the ground one after another, losing consciousness. The torches in their hands also fell to the ground with a thud and slowly went out.

  Even if Tai'an was used to seeing storms, he couldn't help but turn his head back in shock, staring at Su Xiu tightly, his voice still calm: "May I ask Mr. Su, what's going on here?"

  "However, it's just a temporary loss of consciousness. After four or five hours, they will naturally wake up. General Tai doesn't have to be so shocked and alarmed. Since you've made up your minds to use numbers to defeat the few, don't blame me for using these small tricks. If I hadn't been thinking about how well you treated us over the past few days, the medicine I used would have left them unconscious forever."

  "When did the girl take the medicine and why are we okay?"

  "Just a moment ago, although this 'soul-capturing powder' scattered in the air doesn't have any smell, its potency is quite sufficient." Ling Miao still smiled, slightly sarcastically: "You few will be fine, it's just because you're standing close to Gongzi, and the faint medicinal fragrance on Gongzi's body is from the purple sandalwood rosary, which is a treasure of Xieyigu Valley. Whoever wears it can resist all poisons; what more is this little 'soul-capturing powder'? Gongzi can just use his internal energy to dispel its scent, originally intended for Wangfei's sake, but you few also benefited from it. What, do you still want to stop us? Looking at the number of people, you're still at an advantage."

  Still remember the shocking swan's reflection (harem)
