"Actually, I haven't missed anything since the first time I left. It's just the regretful impulse that made me choose to be nostalgic for a while!"

Xia Lingyue looked at the rows of palace buildings under the distant mountains opposite, and a trace of sad red shadow appeared in her eyes.

"Princess, there is no need to be so sad. Gains and losses are normal. King Lin has memories that cannot be taken back, so let's just let nature take its course! Maybe loss is God's best arrangement!"

"The best arrangement?"

She was stunned for a moment, feeling a little confused.

"Yes! It's the best arrangement. You must believe that this is absolutely the best arrangement. You can think back on the experiences along the way. Did you ever think that we would be together for the rest of our lives as inseparable as before?

How many of those people are left in the end? But how many of them are not Masked?"

"Oh...that's right! Why didn't I think of this? What a pity!"

Xia Lingyue couldn't help but sigh as she spoke. She put down the cup in her hand and turned to look at the low palace not far away. The past events seemed to emerge one after another, leaving her with mixed emotions.

"Remember that coquettish girl from back then?"

"Of course I remember! She is the beautiful concubine next to Emperor Ji who is favored by all the six palaces! It is said that a beautiful concubine is born only once every five hundred years! How could you not remember it?"

Yin Xin looked at Xia Lingyue's slightly red eyes and couldn't help but stop speaking. However, her lips and teeth began to tremble slightly again, along with her thin shoulders.

"Wu Mei'er is actually just an illusion!"

"Illusion?!!..."

After hearing this, Yin Xin became more and more confused, and her brows furrowed into a solemn gloom.

"Yes, it's just an illusion! However, Emperor Ji was so intoxicated that he deceived himself and didn't listen to anyone's advice."

"How is this possible? Yu Mei'er is clearly a real person? How could it be an illusion?"

Yin Xin's curiosity instantly broke her usual reserve and shyness.

"That's just a monster made up by Emperor Ji Niannian's own creation, transformed from greed! People in the world like to indulge in the endless expansion of their own desires, and then deceive others."

Xia Lingyue sighed softly and looked at the dark scenery of the distant mountains, and couldn't help but sigh.

"But Wu Mei'er is indeed a real person?"

"Because Emperor Ji always had a missing regret in his heart. This regret was a shortcoming that could not be made up by no matter whether there were three thousand or ten thousand in the harem, so he let this shortcoming turn into a greedy fantasy, so that later this fantasy

His power really transformed into a human form driven by his desire, so everything happened that you saw later.”

Yin Xin couldn't help but became speechless. She frowned in confusion and looked half-understanding but also deeply curious.

"I've only heard that there are fox monsters, mountain monsters, tree monsters, and monsters in the world. This is the first time I've heard that there are such things as lust monsters. It's so strange! So strange! It's really strange!"

Yin Xin blinked in disbelief as she spoke, feeling completely incomprehensible.

"There's nothing strange about this. Everything has spirituality. If you haven't heard of it, it doesn't exist."

"That slave remembers that everyone said that Mei'er was the incarnation of a fox demon. It turned out that they had misunderstood her for so many years!"

The more Yin Xin talked, the more she thought about it and her expression became more and more frightened. Her expression seemed to have lost the innocence and reserve it had before.

"In fact, there are too many lessons learned from the past that blame the country's problems on the demon girls and fox demons. In the final analysis, it is just the lust demons who are causing trouble!"

She was still looking at the low palace under the dark-colored distant mountains opposite, her expression becoming more and more solemn.

"Princess! Wasn't Meier shot to death by thousands of arrows later? Could it be..."

"So! Emperor Ji passed away not long afterward!"

When Yin Xin heard this, she looked slightly relieved and sighed unconsciously.

"That's fine! It's much better than being entangled by a lust demon and causing disaster to the country and the people. After all, there is still some Qi in charge of the world!"

Xia Lingyue took a sip of tea, and the solemn frown she had before relaxed a lot.

"It turns out that this lust demon is really powerful! It actually transformed into a human form and is with people. Don't you think this is hopeless?"

Yinxin thought for a while, then looked at the building on the opposite balcony, and unconsciously the corners of her lips curved slightly.

"Since ancient times, kings have been so ruthless, and it is difficult for their husbands to behave like men! That's why men are so ruthless! Even the lustful demons who are one and the same as themselves will not let go. What else is worth for women to fulfill their eternity?"

When Xia Lingyue said this, she couldn't help but take a piece of gauze sleeve and knead it repeatedly in her hand.

"Princess! What is this? What is the past of an old tattered gauze sleeve?"

Yin Xin couldn't help but take a few steps forward, with another look of curiosity in her eyes.

"It's too long to talk about. The origin of these gauze sleeves has something to do with Princess Xia..."

"Princess Xia?..."

"Yes! It's Princess Xia!"

Xia Lingyue's expression showed waves of loneliness, and her face looked red and white.

"Isn't Princess Xia already crazy... crazy...?"

Yin Xin's unbelievable look was full of doubts, and another round of slight trembling began between her lips and teeth, as if she wanted to ask but didn't dare.

"Princess Xia was also deceived by the desire demon just like Emperor Ji..."

"Deceived by desire?!!..."

"Yes! It was the desire demon that deceived her. In fact, she had an indissoluble bond with the desire demon since she was a child. However, they both thought that they would be invincible and the unparalleled overlord, so they didn't realize that they had already

Trapped in jail..."

"Then it's really scary to say it this way! I've never heard of this weird story about desire transforming into demons. Now it seems that all this is really not groundless!"

Yin Xin became more and more curious as she spoke.

"Actually, many things are destined to end from the beginning. It's just that many people are too self-centered and even deceive themselves and others, blind themselves and then indulge in it and can't extricate themselves!"

Xia Lingyue said as she took away the half of the old gauze sleeve in her hand and sighed softly.

"Princess, can you tell me the story about this sleeve?"

"Can!"

"Um!"

????"Yan'er! I invited you here today just to tell you... Actually, I..."

????Liu Yichen looked a little flustered with his hands behind his back, but his words were obviously hesitant. It seemed that he had secretly liked her for a long time, but he never had the courage to tell her openly.

Look.

????"You want me to guess who you are, right?"

There was a faint smile on Xia Ruyan's lips, but the flower-painted fingertips in her arms secretly stretched out, and severely cut off the wild tassel in front of her.

????"Ruyan, I...actually I..."

????"Actually, what's wrong with you?"

????Liu Yichen finally couldn't hold back the longing that had been buried in his heart for a long time, so he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and turned around. It turned out that his eyes were closed and he was still in a daze, and he didn't dare to open them for a long time.

????"laugh!…………"

????Seeing this, Xia Ruyan bit her lip and couldn't help laughing, a sly look flashed across her brows.

????"Can't I see that you are quite stupid!"

????Her dismissive eyes were full of secret contempt, and then she bit her fingertips as if nothing had happened.

????"If there's nothing else, I'll take the first step! I still have something to do!"

????Xia Ruyan looked scornful at him, but soon returned to normal.

????"Ruyan, I...I have actually liked you for a long, long time..."
