C16 End Before It Begins

Jing Xiaotong didn't wake up until the afternoon. Lyu Xiu brought hot water to wash her hair. She sat at the table and ate some food. Then she lied down on the bed and stared blankly at the top of the bed.

"Where's Nan Mingcheng?" Jing Xiaotong asked.

"His Highness the Crown Prince left early this morning to return to the Dunhuang Country." Lyu Xiu replied carefully. She didn't want to tell her so early because she was afraid that she would be upset.

Jing Xiaotong's heart skipped a beat and she abruptly bounced up from the bed. What? He's gone? When did he leave? "Why didn't you tell me?"

"His Highness came to see you before he left, you were sleeping soundly, His Highness didn't let me wake you, and His Highness also ordered me to give you this." As she spoke, Lyu Xiu handed a purse to Jing Xiaotong.

Jing Xiaotong's heart skipped a few beats and she quickly opened her bag. Inside was a high-quality jade pendant with a lifelike dragon and phoenix pattern on it. In the middle of the pendant was the word 'South'.

She felt a sudden ache in her heart, as if she had lost some important family member. She jumped off the bed, grabbed the red clothes beside her and put them on before rushing out of the crown prince's mansion.

"Princess …" Lyu Xiu wasn't prepared for Jing Xiaotong's reaction. Seeing her running out of the room without caring about her own safety, she shouted anxiously.

"Go and report to the crown prince that Crown Princess has run out of the mansion." Lyu Xiu shouted to Chunzhi and co., there was no other way than to tell Yun Zihao, her master really couldn't reassure her at all.

Jing Xiaotong ran all the way, her heart was in her mouth. She thought to herself, 'Nan Mingcheng, you have to wait for me. Even if we can't be together, let me send you to the last time, okay?'

She quickly ran out of the city. On the way, a man in green was riding a horse towards their direction. Jing Xiaotong almost ran into him. The man in green quickly stopped his horse and looked down in surprise at Red-clothed Woman, who had long, flowing hair like a demon.

Jing Xiaotong also stopped, she anxiously told the man in green: "Young master, can you please ride me to the city gate? I will pay you silver. " She thought it was a twenty-first-century taxi.

"Alright." The light robed man was stunned for a moment before agreeing. Since there was such a beautiful girl who wanted to ride on a horse with him, he was naturally willing to let her come from the crown prince's residence.

Jing Xiaotong hastily stretched out her hand, her eyes anxiously watching the green-clothed person's posture of being pulled onto a horse.

"En, but first we have to pay the silver." As Jing Xiaotong had expected, the man in green didn't move from his horse. He looked at her innocently and said seriously.

"I went out in a hurry and didn't bring any money. I'll resupply you when we get back, okay? " Jing Xiaotong was dying of anxiety.

The man in green raised his head and looked at his temples as he pondered. He then lowered his head and asked a question that made Jing Xiaotong vomit blood, "What if you are a bad person?"

"I'm your Crown Princess. If you don't believe me, you should trust your Crown Prince, right?"

In a moment of desperation, Jing Xiaotong used her last trump card. Silver, she did not have that, she only had her face, and if it was not good enough for her, then she would slap the crown prince's face.

The man in green rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, I'll help you up." He thought about how he would slaughter Brother Crown Prince when he got back.

Jing Xiaotong was pulled onto a horse by the man in green. At her request, they quickly headed out of the city.

At the city gate, the crowd bustled with activity, and she did not see the familiar figure she was looking for.

At her request, the green-clothed person had to send her ten miles away from the city gate, but before that person could be seen, the green-clothed person would not be willing to go any further. He was afraid that she would be in danger, and at that time, what he would have to bear would not be as simple as just Brother Crown Prince's anger.

Jing Xiaotong was disappointed. A twinge of pain lingered in her heart and couldn't be dispelled.

She suddenly thought of something and shouted to the air beside her, "Mo Yan, are you there?"

"Your subordinate is here." Mo Yan jumped out and answered respectfully.

Mo Yan told the moody master that he was also feeling wronged. Just as he ran to the tree outside Crown Princess's bedroom to get ready for a nap, he saw the master running outside. He even got on someone's horse to run.

"Where's Nan Mingcheng?" Jing Xiaotong asked in a hurry.

"Reporting to Princess, this Subordinate doesn't know where His Highness the Crown Prince has gone." Mo Yan answered.

"You won't know where your master went." Jing Xiaotong was angry. She rushed forward and randomly grabbed Mo Yan's face, making Mo Yan's face turn red all of a sudden.

"Reporting to the princess, the crown prince has ordered his subordinates to follow the princess in the future. Furthermore, how could we possibly dare to pry into the whereabouts of our masters and subordinates? " Mo Yan lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Nan Mingcheng..." Damn you … " Jing Xiaotong screamed at the top of her lungs.

Tears welled up in his eyes when he felt the pain in his nose.

In her previous life, she had a warm home and the care of her parents for more than twenty years. In this life, she was alone and had been displaced for all eternity. That sudden drop in status made her feel even more lonely, lonely, and helpless.

Nan Mingcheng was the first man she knew who made her heart move. He was like a little sister to her, caring for her and protecting her. His warm smile was deeply imprinted in her heart.

She was weak. Coming to this desolate world, she had no goal or no idea where to go. During the days they spent together, he had always arranged everything for her. She was already used to his existence.

If he really wanted to, she really wanted to stay by his side and accept his orders. Whether it was her sister, wife, or concubine, as long as they were by his side, it would be fine. He did not know, he did not know anything, and suddenly left, not even giving himself the slightest bit of mental preparation.

Her heart ached, and tears streamed down her face like a broken string.

She didn't believe that Nan Mingcheng left just like that. She didn't believe that he left her alone like that.

She knew she was just one of his pawns, a barter for peace. She knew that separation was inevitable, but she didn't expect it to be so sudden, catching her off guard.

She knew that parting was parting at hand, but there was nothing she could do. She hinted to him many times along the way, but he didn't give her any response and still resolutely wanted to send her out. In his heart, there was only his country.

"Nan Mingcheng, you bastard, are you really that heartless to leave me behind?" Why didn't you even give me a chance to say goodbye? … "Is it hard to tell me?" Is your heart made of iron? " Jing Xiaotong cried towards the distance.

She squatted down and covered her face with her hands to cry. Her long hair fluttered in the wind. At this moment, Jing Xiaotong was like an abandoned child, with Nan Mingcheng's figure appearing in her mind time and time again. She really wanted him to look at her from somewhere when she turned around.

She missed his embrace. She really wanted that feeling of security. She really wanted him to tell her that he was just hiding and playing a joke on her.

It was the first time in her life she had cried like this. Jing Xiaotong hugged her legs and buried her face in tears. Her shoulders trembled. Her first love had appeared so quickly and she had fallen in love so resolutely. It could be said that it had ended before it even began.

In a distant corner... When the handsome man in purple saw this scene, his heart slightly ached …

He was afraid that he would be reluctant to part with her. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear to leave while embracing her. As a prince, he couldn't help but … "For the first time, a grave expression appeared on his face." Take care! " He said this silently in his heart.
