“…Gu Qingjin is still a bit proud and dignified, you either kill me or let me go now. At this point, do you expect me to be grateful to you? If it weren’t for you, I could have married into an equivalent family, had a suitable husband, and would have had lovely children in the future…” As she mentioned children, Qingjin’s gaze was filled with hatred, directly staring at Long HanYuan without hiding her emotions.
Long Han heard Qing Jin's words, his dark eyes met Qing Jin's hateful gaze, and he stood quietly there, his face without a ripple, indifferently looking at Qing Jin.
Only he himself knew how much effort it took to control himself from going forward and strangling her. Long Han Yan had always been good at hiding his emotions, knowing what it meant to keep a low profile, and how to conceal his inner thoughts and feelings. Having experienced two lifetimes, he had already reached the point where he could freely express or suppress his emotions as he pleased. But today...he found himself struggling to control the violent emotions that threatened to erupt from within him.
Listening to Gu Qingjin's words, which were like sharp arrows shooting towards him, and watching the gift he had carefully prepared being discarded by the woman in front of him and shattered on the ground, thinking about how he had personally asked Emperor Ming for her hand in marriage, given her the title of side consort, sought a noble title for her, and even gone to welcome her in person. He was a man who valued etiquette, and for her sake, he had held this grand wedding that was not inferior to a princess's, and presented her with the jade bangles he had obtained through great difficulties, but she didn't treasure them at all and shattered them right in front of him.
She also said she didn't like him, that he was disgusting to the extreme, and that he disgusted her. Upon hearing this, he couldn't control his body's aura, and with a powerful pressure, he wanted to crush her, saying it was because she had said she liked him. Now, she was actually saying he disgusted her? Who did Long Yan think he was? He had once dominated the world, without needing to say a word. Ten thousand people submitted to him, no one dared to disobey, who would dare to say such rebellious words to him? She actually... actually said he disgusted her. His first thought was to kill the woman in front of him, but seeing her painful and suffocating expression, he unconsciously withdrew his aura and cold energy at the last moment.
Thinking of the one who once smiled brightly at him, full of adoration. Now, however, the woman in front of him wore a face of mockery and disdain. Long Han Yan's fists clenched as he gazed at her eyes filled with hatred. At this moment, even if he was once the most powerful person under heaven, he was now the most helpless person in the world.
He took one last look at her, then Long Han turned resolutely and walked away, because he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he really wouldn't be able to bear it and would end up killing her. As soon as he turned around, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened them again, and with an expressionless face, he walked out with somewhat floating steps.
Behind her, Qing Jin saw Long Han Yuan turn around and leave, and she couldn't control herself anymore. She pulled out a hairpin and stabbed it towards the position of Long Han Yuan's heart. She would rather die with him than follow this man for another lifetime. In that instant just now, she thought she was going to die. She didn't know why he suddenly gave up, but hatred had already occupied her mind. Seeing his figure leaving, she couldn't imagine herself and him entangling for another lifetime. The scene of that night kept replaying in her mind. She absolutely refused to be a substitute. Rather than torturing each other for the rest of their lives, it was better to end everything together.
Long Han-Yuan, who was walking out, felt the voice coming from behind him. He stopped in his tracks and couldn't help but feel a hint of joy and anticipation. Turning around, he saw Qing Jin's hairpin flying towards him. Long Han-Yuan couldn't help but feel shocked and angry, but more than that, he was incredulous. In that instant, he finally understood that she actually hated him so much.
His footsteps moved, and he could have completely avoided her, but seeing the hatred in her eyes, he gave up avoiding her completely. With a "zi" sound, the hairpin was inserted into the flesh.
Long Han's expression remained unchanged, his eyebrows didn't even furrow, as he calmly asked: "Do you want to kill me?"
"Yes, I wanted to kill you. Rather than torment each other for the rest of our days..." The hairpin pierced Long Han Yuan's arm, and Qing Jin's senses cleared up, but she didn't regret what she had done. The only thing she regretted was that although she had aimed at Long Han Yuan's heart, she had missed by a hair's breadth.
After hearing Long Han's question, she looked straight into his eyes without dodging or evading.
The place where the hairpin pierced was constantly oozing out red blood, Qing Jin shifted her gaze to Long Han's bleeding arm, without fear, without regret, and even with some excitement.
Long Han saw Qing Jin's obviously bloodthirsty expression, "So you hate me that much!"
"Yes, I hate you. You haven't experienced the pain of being burned by fire, have you? It really hurts, my whole body is in pain, it's painful to the bone marrow. Everything that happened before was my own fault, I didn't see the big picture clearly, I was blind. Later on, everything else I also acknowledged, but you shouldn't call out that name in front of me, Long Hanshan. You knew how much I liked you, why did you have to be so cruel? I've already lost everything... everything..."
Fortunately, the Buddha pitied me and I can start again. I told myself that I don't hate you, it's my own foolishness, my own infatuation. But clearly, I had already let go, I didn't intervene between you two, even going so far as to arrange an engagement for myself ahead of time just to avoid all this. Isn't it enough that we've parted ways? Why won't you let me off?" Qing Jin questioned Long Han Yuan.
"You have never left Lingnan before." Long HanYuan replied to Qing Jin's question.
"What does it matter? Is it also a matter of my own, as long as that person is not you, I, Gu Qingjin, can marry." Qingjin continued to speak following Long Han's words.
Upon hearing Qing Jin's words, Long Han Yan couldn't help but furrow his brow. Before he could even open his mouth to speak, Qing Jin continued, "Don't say that this matter has nothing to do with you..."
Qing Jin's words were finished, Long Han Yuan remained silent.
"What are you after? Is it the influence of your family in the military, or is it because of the dark guards who followed your family back then?" Qing Jin pressed on.
Long Han Yuan finally couldn't help but speak up, saying something completely unrelated to Qing Jin's question, "The things of the past life were my... I'm sorry..."
Suddenly hearing Long Han Yuan say sorry, Qing Jin was stunned for a moment and didn't react, never thinking that someone like Long Han Yuan would also say sorry.
"Sorry," Qing Jin muttered to herself, then turned back to Long Han Yuan with a mocking tone: "Sorry, I didn't think the high and mighty King Jing would also say these three words. But what does 'sorry' explain? Perhaps the original Gu Qing Jin wanted to hear these three words, but that Gu Qing Jin is already dead, burned to death in the fire. Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? You were also an eyewitness to that fire."
"Gu Qingjin, don't be unreasonable. Even if I weren't here, you wouldn't be able to marry into the Southern Border. The Southern Border and Da Jing are enemies, your royal family has retreated to Lingnan and won't come out. The young master of the Lingnan minority is also in a ambiguous relationship with your royal family. The imperial court owes your royal family, the emperor who owed your royal family is already gone. Now, the emperor wants to reuse your third uncle, reuse the Anji Marquis Manor, your royal family is your maternal family, Anji Marquis Manor, your royal family, Southern Border... do you think the emperor will tolerate you marrying into the Southern Border?" Long Han Yuan couldn't help but speak up.
"Even if I couldn't marry into the Southern Territory, what's wrong with that? As long as it wasn't you." Qing Jin said ruthlessly to Long Han Yuan.
Long Han heard Qing Jin's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a brief pause, he slowly opened his mouth: "We are from the same place, whether you like it or not, I will never let you marry another person. No matter what the future holds, you should also be clear that if you were me, you would make the same choice. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being similar to me. As for past life matters, I've already apologized, and you've also stabbed me in the back. Considering it was my fault first, I won't pursue this matter further..."
"Haha...... You don't pursue, Long Han Yuan, since you like Gu Qing Yao, why not just marry her openly..." Qing Jin couldn't help but sarcastically say.
Long Han heard Qing Jin's words and looked at her with a dangerous gaze. Qing Jin didn't dodge or flinch under his stare, continuing to speak: "Don't say you never had this idea, if I'm not mistaken, you've thought about it before. If you didn't want to, then why did you let the matter of saving the Emperor and you, as well as the Sixth Prince, still be my Third Uncle's doing? You already knew about this matter, yet you allowed it to unfold as originally planned. The King of Jing is also a person who 'loves deeply', such a great merit, if not for some other scheme, would you have let it go for nothing?"
Long Han didn't deny or admit Qing Jin's words, instead he changed the subject and said to her: "You need to calm down." Then he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Halt!" Qing Jin saw Long Han Yuan wanting to leave and stopped him.
Long Han stepped back with his back against Qing Jin and stopped in his tracks, saying: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Give me a divorce and let me go!" Qing Jin said to Long Han Yuan.
Upon hearing these eight words, Long Han turned around and asked Qing Jin in a light tone: "On the night of your wedding, you were divorced. What do you think people will think of the An Ji Hou Fu?"
"This has nothing to do with you, it's me..." Qing Jin paused for a moment before continuing.
"Is that so? Is it your own business? No matter what consequences this matter brings to your mother and younger brother after it spreads, I remember that in the past on the streets, you dared to confront the family of Princess Ying of the palace for the sake of your younger brother. Don't you really consider them?" Long Hanshan said slowly.
"...…", Yes, she can't be so selfish. Qing Jin looked at Long Han's indifferent expression and couldn't say anything.
"Think carefully, I'll leave first!" After saying that, Long Han walked out of the door.
Duliu Qingjin remained in this festive room.
Qing Jin sat dazed on the stool in her room after Long Han Yuan left, she was confused and entangled. But thinking of what Long Han Yuan had just said, perhaps in that moment of anger she deliberately didn't care, but now that she had calmed down, what she had just done to Long Han Yuan was truly enough to get her killed a thousand times over. Could she really disregard the safety of the An Ji Hou Fu?
