"No, no... don’t!"

An Ning rode on horseback, seeing from afar a bloody and blurred figure, pierced by countless sharp swords, standing proud and solitary under the night sky.

The next moment.

The swords were withdrawn from his body.

Blood scattered to the heavens.

He fell.

He fell heavily to the ground.

He closed his eyes deeply.

"No!"

An Ning frantically jumped off the horse, stumbling, and fell right next to Lin Zichan.

His entire body was covered in blood.

All over his body, it kept flowing from inside him.

"Lin Zi... No, can’t die, Xiao Jinxing, don’t die..." An Ning’s tearful eyes blurred, "Didn’t you say you’d never leave me again? Didn’t you promise..."

Tears seemed to be falling in a frenzy.

Her hands were trembling.

Trembling, not knowing how to touch him.

With so many wounds, she didn’t know where to start healing him.

Her tears fell, one after another, on his bloodstained cheeks.

She almost couldn’t tell if the person before her was still Lin Zichan or not? Still Xiao Jinxing?!

Her continuously trembling fingers lightly placed between his breath...

At that moment.

The sky seemed to truly collapse.

She even felt the darkness before her eyes.

Her body almost fell over.

It turns out, the heart can ache to this extent.

Aching so much that it seems to destroy heaven and earth.

"I regret it..." An Ning’s trembling voice whispered in Lin Zichan’s ear, "I regret choosing him, I regret abandoning you, I truly regret..."

But he could no longer hear.

Couldn’t hear her regret.

An Ning suddenly tightly hugged Lin Zichan.

His body was covered in blood.

Her body was also completely stained with his blood.

No.

He wasn’t dead.

He wouldn’t die.

He was so strong, he wouldn’t collapse so easily.

She had to take him back, she had to operate on him, she had to wake him up and then tell him she would never abandon him again, never for anyone, give him up!

She used all her strength to lift Lin Zichan from the ground.

She crouched down to carry him on her back, she had to take him away, she couldn’t accept his death like this, he couldn’t die!

An Ning dragged Lin Zichan, step by step down the street...

Everywhere she walked, it was all blood!

Ahead, suddenly the sound of horse hooves echoed again.

An Ning almost didn’t hear it.

Now she only wanted to take Xiao Jinxing back.

Then never be apart from him.

An Ning stopped her steps in front of a horse, she helped him up...

But he remained motionless.

An Ning didn’t have that much strength.

But she didn’t cry or make a fuss.

She just wanted to take him away.

"An Ning!"

Someone beside her called out.

Crying out urgently.

An Ning didn’t turn around, as if she hadn’t heard.

Now, only Xiao Jinxing occupied her world.

Only he remained.

"An Ning!"

Fu Xingyi called out with bloodshot eyes.

His body still wrapped in white cloth, now seeming to seep some blood again.

Just now, he had let the Imperial Physician treat him casually, but still he had chased after An Ning.

He knew very well that Lin Zichan couldn’t have any chance of survival, he gave a fatal order, deployed so many people, Lin Zichan was bound for near death.

He worried An Ning might not accept it, and truly choose to die with him...

Cannot.

He was here not to see such an end.

He confessed that between his own life and An Ning’s, he chose himself.

But he couldn’t bear to see An Ning die right in front of him...

"An Ning, don’t be like this!" Fu Xingyi called out in heartbreak.

He admitted he was selfish, even consumed by revenge against Xiao Jinxing.

He might not care if An Ning loved other men in his absence, but he couldn’t accept that while he was around, she still held others in her heart.

Thus, he must eliminate Xiao Jinxing.

Must make him completely disappear from their world.

From now on, there would only be happiness for him and An Ning together...

"An Ning..." Without getting a response, Fu Xingyi reached out to pull her.

"Don’t touch me!"

An Ning avoided him.

Fu Xingyi’s fingers stiffened.

Feeling An Ning’s coldness.

Heart aching tremendously.

"He’s already dead," Fu Xingyi said with anguish.

An Ning didn’t listen; she still struggled to try and get Lin Zichan onto the horse.

"No matter how advanced your medical skills, the dead cannot come back to life, you can’t save him, he no longer exists!" Fu Xingyi shouted angrily.
