Chapter 423: Confession? Lure her closer to him
When Liu Suyin learned that the person coming was Prince Li, she was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time.
Finally, Baili Moqing had her taken out.
Well, it was taken away openly.
There was no intention of even hiding it from the Zheng family's spies.
Later, Baili Moqing changed Shu He's cell to a new one, the Tianzi cell, which was an exclusive cell for royal nobles.
The new cell is cleaner and tidier, and is arranged like a hotel, with all the necessary things.
Shu He couldn't help laughing, "If I hadn't walked through the gate of the Dali Temple prison myself, I would have thought I was staying in an inn."
"This is the cell I used to live in."
He suddenly spoke, which made Shu He visibly stunned.
The cell he used to live in?
Before exile?
He looked around and finally sat down on the thick, clean wooden bed. "This is where I was given the Wujihan Poison."
"I remember it very clearly. It was terrible to drink. There was a rancid taste as soon as it went down my throat."
"Then I felt countless insects crawling, biting, and drilling inside my body..."
"The pain that went deep into my bones makes me shiver even now when I think about it."
He looked at Shu He and smiled, "I haven't formally thanked you for the Wuji Cold Poison yet, right?"
Shu He sat beside him and waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's just a small matter. I would save others as well."
But I shouldn't take it that seriously.
Baili Moqing chuckled, "Before I met you, I could really feel that my life was coming to an end."
"I hovered on the brink of death several times, and for a time I lost hope of living."
"But that tinge of unwillingness in my heart keeps me going year after year."
Those were extremely difficult days. He even felt that he had become so gloomy that he was no longer like himself.
"After the Wuji Cold Poison in my body was completely eradicated, I once again felt the strength of life and the power of my body. At that moment, I was truly excited and grateful!"
"It's just that too many things happened afterwards, especially when it came to that incident, I couldn't control myself..."
Shu He's expression changed slightly and he interrupted him, "That's enough! Stop talking!"
"That thing" is also a knot in her heart.
The more sensitive he was about the matter, the more sensitive she became.
After all, that was her former self. Even though she had gained decades of experience and became completely different from before, that was still her former young and ignorant self.
How could she not mind being so despised and hated by others?
Baili Moqing was silent. Seeing her complicated and embarrassed expression, he knew that she had not let it go yet.
But he didn't want to avoid this issue.
This matter must be made clear. We cannot let it become a thorn or an obstacle between them!
He walked up to her and looked into her eyes. "I know you mind that matter too, so let's talk it out once and for all!"
"Although I don't know much about relationships between men and women, I at least know that for two people to be together, there must be a foundation of love! I can't accept two people being forced into that kind of relationship without any emotional foundation."
"Whether that person was you or someone else, I can't accept it! I think you can't accept it either, right?"
Shu He was slightly stunned. After that incident, she recovered from the shock and actually felt happy.
After all, that was the man she had been longing for for many years but could not reach.
But if it were her current self... her final reaction last night had already proved that she really couldn't accept it.
At this time, Baili Moqing said again, "That thing may have been a mistake back then, but now because of you, I no longer think it was a mistake!"
"In the six months since you left, I asked myself many times, why did I look for you? Why did I want to keep you by my side? Was it really just because of Yi'er?"
"But since I saw you again, I'm sure I want to keep you, not because you are Yi'er's mother, nor because you are the person you used to be..."
"It's because, during those days in Beisha City, you've already taken up residence in my heart!"
"Maybe I don't want to admit it, but I have to admit that before I knew your true identity, my heart was already moved!"
"Thinking about it now, I'm even somewhat glad that the person I once was was you!"
He looked at her in a daze, and said in a very gentle voice, "Do you understand what I mean?"
The cell was completely silent, without a sound at all. In the dimness, one could hear the sound of two hearts beating randomly.
This was the first time she saw Baili Moqing like this.
There was no indifference, no alienation, and no heart-piercing look of disgust.
Is he serious?
A man who has always been arrogant and awkward can actually say such straightforward words!
His ears were as red as blood, and his brows were as gentle as a slowly flowing stream.
Those bright eyes were so sincere and clear, like the melted snow on the mountain top.
His soft eyes, fixed on her, seemed to emanate a rapidly swirling torrent, locking her gaze tightly, enveloping her, even swallowing her...
The faint scent of pine slowly entered her nostrils, making her feel an extreme temptation, tempting her to get closer to him...
It wasn't until their hot cheeks touched that she fled from his chest as if she had been electrocuted.
She turned her back to him, trying her best to control the turmoil in her heart, and spoke incoherently, "Are you, are you crazy? What kind of place is this? It's already this time, how can you say such things?!"
