Chapter 158 I Will Leave Eventually

"You said that you would leave one day. After being with me for so long, don't you have the slightest feeling for me?" Xiao Chuhan slowly approached Lan Xi, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Lan Xi knew very well that Xiao Chuhan had always mistaken her for Wuyou, so she would not easily believe that he had feelings for her.

"Xiao Chuhan, don't do this!" Lan Xi pushed Xiao Chuhan away who was approaching her.

"You just treat me as a substitute for Ye Wuyou. The person you have always loved is Ye Wuyou, not me! Do you understand?"

"Please calm down and ask yourself, who do you like?"

Lan Xi was right. At this moment, Xiao Chuhan didn't seem to really understand whether he liked Ye Wuyou or the woman in front of him named Ye Lan Xi. If Lan Xi didn't tell him all the truth, Xiao Chuhan would probably always think that she was Wuyou, whom he had always loved. However, it would take some time for Xiao Chuhan to face this reality. After all, such a thing was too unbelievable!

Xiao Chuhan calmed down and stared at Lan Xi silently, without saying anything for a long time. Now he needed time to digest all this suddenness and accept the fact that she was not carefree...

Xiao Chuhan looked at Lan Xi in front of him with some fatigue. His eyes gradually lost their luster, and his voice was also filled with a hint of disappointment: "I'm a little tired, I'll go back first. You have been busy preparing for Big Brother's wedding these days, you must be exhausted, right? Have a good rest."

Xiao Chuhan sighed softly, his eyes resting on Lan Xi, as if trying to find a hint of response from Lan Xi's eyes, but in the end he only saw gloom.

"Xiao Chuhan, please think carefully about what I said. At the moment, this may be the only way for me to see Wuyou." Lan Xi's voice was low and weak, as if she was crushed.

Xiao Chuhan nodded silently. She knew how difficult it was for Xiao Chuhan to accept the fact that Wuyou was dead.

Watching Xiao Chuhan turn away, Lan Xi felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. Lan Xi knew that Xiao Chuhan was suffering from great pain, but she was powerless. After all, she was the one who told Xiao Chuhan that the person he loved most had left him. Such a blow would be hard for anyone to bear.

Xiao Chuhan returned to the Yangxin Palace alone, feeling extremely heavy-hearted. He asked Xingye to bring a lot of wine, trying to numb himself with alcohol and forget all the pain. Xiao Chuhan leaned against the bed, surrounded by empty bottles, and the air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

However, as he drank one glass after another, Xiao Chuhan did not feel drunk at all. On the contrary, his mind became clearer and clearer, and Wuyou's figure kept flashing in his mind. Every bit of their acquaintance, acquaintance, and love was constantly playing in front of him like a movie. Xiao Chuhan began to doubt whether Wuyou really loved him, and whether his feelings for Wuyou were sincere.

These questions troubled Xiao Chuhan and made him fall into deep self-doubt. He kept recalling the time he spent with Wuyou, trying to find the answer. But every time he recalled it, it only made him more heartbroken. Wuyou's bright smile and gentle eyes have now become a distant past, leaving him with only endless longing and pain.

For several days in a row, Xiao Chuhan locked himself in the Yangxin Palace, and strictly prohibited anyone from entering. Xiao Chuhan was accompanied by fine wine day and night, and he was drunk every time he drank, which was really worrying. Xingye couldn't bear to see the emperor so depressed and decadent, so he had no choice but to go to the Jingxin Palace to find Lan Xi.

When Lan Xi saw Xing Ye coming, she was not surprised at all. She just bowed respectfully and said, "Your subordinate Xing Ye greets Her Majesty the Queen!"

Lan Xi nodded slightly and said, "Xingye, no need to be polite. I guess you must have something important to tell me this time, right?"

Xingye quickly responded: "Your Majesty, there is indeed something. This matter concerns the Emperor..."

Lan Xi nodded to show that she already knew. She had expected that Xing Ye's visit must be related to Xiao Chuhan. In these days, she had not heard any news about Xiao Chuhan, nor had she seen him come to Jingxin Hall in person. Lan Xi knew that Xing Ye must have a reason for coming at this time.

Xingye continued, "Since the Emperor left the Hall of Tranquility that night, he has kept the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation tightly shut, not allowing anyone to enter. The Emperor has not taken a drop of water or eaten anything all day, and has only been drinking. If this continues, I'm afraid the Emperor's health will be damaged! The Emperor has always listened to the Empress's words, Xingye dares to ask the Empress to go and visit the Emperor."

Lan Xi naturally understood Xiao Chuhan's state of mind at the moment, but it was not a long-term solution to continue like this. Lan Xi thought for a while and finally decided to go to see Xiao Chuhan. After all, he was the lord of the Chu State and shouldered the responsibility of the entire country.
