Chapter 439: Longing for Xiang Liu

Midsummer (May) 14th Night

Yingliu came to Xiaoyueding at the invitation of Xuanxuan.

Miao Pu took her into Zhang'e Palace, which was the palace where Xiaoyao was going to be married. The whole palace was filled with red silk, and even the seashell pearl lamps were wrapped with festive red ribbons.

Such lively and eye-catching decoration seems unusually deserted.

Ying Liu listened to the subtle footsteps of herself and Miao Pu, and felt a slight chill floating around her body.

It's so quiet here that it's hard to breathe.

Xiaoyao ran out barefoot. Her bright eyes dimmed again when she saw Yingliu. She tried hard to force a smile, but she had no strength and looked very strange.

Miao Pu quietly retreated, Ying Liu walked over and pulled Xiao Yao to sit inside the bed curtain.

Yingliu wrapped Xiaoyao with the soft and warm silk quilt and hugged her with her arms.

The warm body temperature with a refreshing fragrance warmed Xiaoyao's cold and stiff limbs.

"Liu Er"

"I'm here, Xiaoyao, I'm sorry"

Although Ying Liu secretly rescued Tu Shanjing, the current situation does not allow her to tell it, not even to Xiao Yao.

Her feelings towards Xiaoyao have always been complicated, with admiration, closeness, but also uncontrollable anger and resentment.

She is broad-minded, clever and smart, making her a very suitable friend, but her identity is very sensitive.

She helped Dixuan seize the throne. When Dixuan wanted to attack Chenrong's rebel army, Yingliu never asked Xiaoyao for mercy.

Xiaoyao also knew that Xiangliu had a close relationship with her and was the little snake's biological father, but Xiaoyao remained silent, as if Fangfeng Bei was really the little snake's father.

In Xiaoyao's opinion, the two of them tacitly chose to forget, forget their past interactions with Xiangliu in Qingshui Town, giving the little snake an innocent background.

Yingliu should be content, but people's hearts are biased. How could she just stand by and watch Xiangliu go to his dead end? Even with her identity as Xiangliu, she couldn't do it.

Xiaoyao would charge into battle and put herself into the game for Xuanxuan, so she would be able to scheme and give her all for Xiangliu.

The friendship of several years in Qingshui Town was not enough for Xiaoyao to plead for mercy; Meilin’s life-saving grace was rewarded with most of Qingshui Town, and Xuanxuan’s promise that time was not enough; the many times of protecting each other in Xiyan City were also repaid (Xiaoshe was named a princess); when Meilin was assassinated shortly afterwards, Yingliu helped Xiaoyao stabilize her soul; the assassination in Zezhou Palace also relied on the bracelet and bodhi leaf given by Yingliu to escape; the jade pendant that protected Qianli Desert.

Yingliu was always afraid. She was afraid that all this would not be enough for Xiaoyao to plead for Xiangliu against Dixuan's wishes, or for Dixuan to show mercy, so she rescued Jing again. If it really came to that, she would exchange one for one, and exchange Tushan Jing's life for Xiangliu's identity. Xiaoyao was reluctant to do so, so Dixuan had to agree.

If Xiaoyao were to threaten Jing like this, she would definitely mind and even distance herself from her.

Ying Liu admits that she is not open-minded. She is not a saint, does not have absolute rationality, and cannot be honest and upright.

She was just glad that Xiaoyao was the same. She was also selfish, and the two of them were equally matched.

It is because of this that this friendship, which seems pure and innocent but is actually fragile, has been maintained until now.

Xiaoyao tightly grasped Yingliu's wrist with one hand, as if she could draw strength from it.

"Actually, I'm very happy that you chose to save me. This shows that I'm important to you, and that's enough."

The bed curtains woven with green gauze and mermaid sharks fluttered up and down in the wind. Yingliu did not speak, and the two of them sat there quietly.

The person Xiaoyao trusts the most and values ​​the most in her heart will always be Xuanxuan. Even Jing cannot compare to him, let alone Yingliu.

If there was no necessary involvement or intersection between the two of them, Yingliu would never approach Xiaoyao.

She valued Xuan too much, and Xuan was too perverted and cunning. If she got close to Xiaoyao, she would have to face Xuan's scrutiny and evaluation, and even surveillance, from time to time.
