sleep.” The extended tenderness sounded especially soft in the carriage. The questions that had filled her heart before were all pushed down when she leaned against him. He smoothed his cloak and co...Thousands of thoughts pressed against her ear, his rapid breaths tearing at the air around her: "Ge'er, even if you hate me for a lifetime, it would be better than watching you leave me forever!"

He began kissing her white neck, her face...

Every time he kissed her, Xiao Yu Ge felt goosebumps all over. At this moment, she desperately shed tears of unwillingness, tears streaming down her cheeks and just grazing his lips.

The icy touch restored a sliver of his reason. He gently cupped her face, his voice raspy and urgent, "Gē'er, please don't do this. I swear, I will treat you well for the rest of my life. Give yourself to me completely."

Xiao Yu Ge knew that at this time, she didn't even have the strength to push him away, let alone bite her tongue and commit suicide. But she was unwilling to be ruined like this by a scumbag. She hurriedly said: "Qian Si Chen! Qian Si Chen, listen to me first!"

"Ge'er, there are things we can talk about later..." At this time, Qian Si Chen's desire had already taken over her mind. She was only thinking about devouring and possessing her, how could she listen to anything else.

"Qian Si Chen, don't you want to know why I hate you so much" Even though speaking loudly made her pain unbearable, she still wanted to buy herself some time.

Upon hearing this, Qian Si Chen stopped, because this question had also plagued him for a long time: "Why"

Xiao Yu Ge looked at him intently, speaking almost word by word: "Because of the dream you once had, it wasn't a dream, it was real!"

"You, what are you saying" Qian Sicheng looked at him in disbelief. That dream appeared in her mind again, so real, more real than a dream yet somehow not.

"Thousands of thoughts, to you, it might have been a dream. But for me, it was a real experience from my past life." Tears filled with grievance and hatred welled up and overflowed uncontrollably.

Although the hatred had lessened under Qian Tingxuan's pampering, when she brought it up again, she realized that some wounds, even if they seemed to have healed on the surface, were still oozing with fresh blood upon closer inspection.

Her expression didn't seem like she was deceiving him. Qian Si Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly let go of her. He sat down beside her. Perhaps deep down in his heart, he still didn't want to hurt her.

Gaining her freedom, Xiao Yu sang endured the pain and propped herself up, moving away from him. "Aren't you curious why I suddenly have such good martial arts skills It's because I made a deal with Qianji Pavilion. I used Qianji Pavilion's secret art...."

“The secret art of Qianji Pavilion How could you...” Qiansichen looked at her in disbelief. Although he didn't know how painful the secret art was, rumors in the Jianghu said that almost no one dared to endure it because the pain was comparable to muscle cramps and broken bones. How did she survive it

"The night before the Lotus Feast, I risked my life to perform that forbidden technique. Because, I seek revenge! I will avenge those who wronged me!" Xiao Yuge's tear-filled eyes burned with hatred.

"No wonder, back then, the imperial physician clearly said your injury had recovered a lot, but your complexion that day was definitely not good." Qian Sichin also remembered, at the time he was also puzzled, the imperial physician said she recovered quickly, but on the day of the Lotus Flower Banquet, although she pretended to be nonchalant, she was obviously forcing it.

“Thousands of thoughts, in my past life, I was filled with you. For your path to imperial power, I also used secret arts in Qianjigong. Because I felt that as long as I had martial arts skills, I could help you at any time. But in the past life, at the lotus flower banquet, you knew I was framed and wronged, but you chose to ignore me. I almost had my reputation ruined, and you didn't even say a word of comfort. You just treated me as a joke...”

Both lifetimes used the Qianji Pavilion's secret arts, both lifetimes experienced that bone-wrenching pain, a pain that no one can understand.

"Song..." Even though Qian Sicheng didn't understand what she was talking about, just hearing her words made him feel guilty. How could he have hurt her so much

On Ti Lang Mountain, faced with a choice between me and your sister, you chose her without hesitation. You abandoned me to those bandits. I endured countless hardships to return, only to have my reputation ruined. You knew I was innocent, yet you chose to ignore it, allowing people to slander me... For your sake, I was scarred by the bandits, but you didn't even utter a word of concern before leaving with your sister... Your sister's eyes were injured. A death row inmate was willing to donate his eyes, but because your sister said my eyes would look better, you let Chu Tianqi personally gouge out my eyes and even deceived me by saying he would take care of me for the rest of my life.

“Ge’er, that’s enough…” Qian Sichin seemed unable to bear it any longer. These were all scenes from his dreams; he had never shared them with anyone, not even her. He had only mentioned them in passing, but everything she just said matched the details of his dream perfectly. It seemed like all of it had truly happened.

Since we've already started, Xiao Yuge wouldn't stop: "I thought you would really take care of me for the rest of your life. But only later did I realize that everything was just your deceitful words. My sister was afraid that you would soften your heart and truly accept me, so she bribed the imperial physician saying she was seriously ill and needed my blood to cure her. That's when you came to me, begging me to save my sister. Only then did I know that in your heart, there was never a place for me. My existence was nothing more than a tool to please your sister..."

"Sorry..." she choked out each word, tears streaming down her face as the dreams replayed before her eyes, filling her with a crushing weight of guilt.

"So, I ran away, but you still brought me back. You personally severed my tendons and ligaments, crippling my martial arts. Afraid I'd run again, you even threaded that thick iron chain through my collarbone. Do you know how much it hurt at the time" Even though now moving even a little bit sent pain shooting through him, Xiao Yu Ge still angrily grabbed his collar when he got to this point.

“You all blame me for what happened when Aunt Lan switched my and my sister’s identities, always thinking I owe her. But you forgot, I was just a baby when the switch happened, it wasn't my fault! Yet you demand I pay with my life to make amends!”

Xiao Yu Ge raised her wrist: "You personally slashed my wrist. The blade was so cold, your hearts so cruel. I was so helpless back then, begging you to let me go. There were countless ways to save my sister, but you chose the most brutal one, watching as I bled to death... Qian Si Chen, tell me, shouldn't I hate you You, Chu Tian Qi, Ning Feng, you all deserve to die!" If looks could kill, then Qian Si Chen would have died countless times over by now., and didn't waste any words. They immediately launched into action.Xiao Yu Ge and her companions went out without bringing any guards. There was only a carriage driver with them, and the only one who...
