Chapter 152 Confession (1)
Xiao Chuhan saw all of this. Xiao Chuhan looked at Ye Chen and Lan Xi quietly, with no expression on her face, but her heart was surging. In fact, Xiao Chuhan had always known the real purpose of Lan Xi's leaving the palace this time. On the surface, Lan Xi said she was going to help Ye Li's wedding, but in fact, she wanted to meet Ye Chen.
Since the moment Ye Chen stepped into the territory of Chu, Xiao Chuhan sent Xingye to secretly follow him. Xiao Chuhan was eager to find out what Ye Chen's intention was in coming to Chu. At the same time, Xiao Chuhan also knew that Lan Xi and Ye Chen would meet at Yue Man Lou. Xiao Chuhan knew the truth of all this. However, Xiao Chuhan remained silent and did not expose Lan Xi's lies.
Xiao Chuhan originally thought that the misunderstanding between them had disappeared and they could be honest with each other. However, she eventually cheated on him for another man. However, Xiao Chuhan chose to keep silent for the time being. Xiao Chuhan wanted to see what Lan Xi would do next. So, Xiao Chuhan had been waiting silently, expecting Lan Xi to confess everything to him in person.
However, when Lan Xi looked at Ye Chen, Xiao Chuhan could no longer suppress his anger. Xiao Chuhan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of anger. Lan Xi was unaware of this, and she didn't know that Xiao Chuhan had already seen through her actions.
Lan Xi lowered the curtain on the carriage and turned her gaze to Xiao Chuhan beside her. Their eyes met, and Lan Xi suddenly felt an indescribable sense of guilt.
Lan Xi thought for a long time and knew that hiding the truth from Xiao Chuhan was not a long-term solution. She had to confess everything to Xiao Chuhan, so that it would be more convenient for her to see Ye Chen again in the future. At least in this way, Xiao Chuhan would not have unnecessary trouble with her due to misunderstandings.
On the way back to the palace, the two of them were silent all the way. After Xiao Chuhan sent Lan Xi to Jingxin Palace, when he was about to turn around and leave, Lan Xi hesitated for a long time, and finally called Xiao Chuhan: "Your Majesty, are you leaving now?"
Xiao Chuhan turned around and looked at Lan Xi, asking, "Why, my beloved concubine doesn't want me to leave?"
Lan Xi's tone suddenly became serious: "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you. Can you stay in Jingxin Palace tonight?"
Xiao Chuhan wanted to hear what Lan Xi had to say, so he readily responded, "Okay."
"Please sit down first and let me explain it to you slowly."
"I wonder what my beloved concubine wants to say to me?"
Lan Xi didn't know how to start the conversation so that Xiao Chuhan would accept what she was going to say next.
"Xiao Chuhan, please listen to me. Everything I'm going to say next is true. I have absolutely no intention of deceiving you! So, you must listen carefully to everything I say, okay?"
"Of course I will listen carefully to what my beloved concubine says."
"In fact, I am not the Wuyou you love so much. I am just a person from another world. My soul is attached to Wuyou's body, and the real Wuyou has left this world. Xiao Chuhan, can you understand what I said?"
When Xiao Chuhan heard the news that Wuyou had died, even though he didn't want to believe it deep down in his heart, his heart ached as if it was being tightly gripped.
Xiao Chuhan subconsciously covered his aching chest with his hands, stared at Lan Xi, and said with difficulty: "How can I believe what you said? You are clearly standing in front of me alive, but you ridiculously told me that you are dead. Even if you want to deceive me, you should find a more reasonable excuse!"
Lan Xi knew in her heart that Xiao Chuhan would probably not trust her so easily.
"Xiao Chuhan, do I really have to lie to you? The reason why I chose to tell you the truth about this matter is because I no longer want to hide anything from you. I know very well that you may find it difficult to accept this reality for a while, but this is a fact that cannot be changed. I am not Ye Wuyou, but Ye Lanxi!"
Xiao Chuhan uttered three words with difficulty: "Ye Lanxi..."
"To me, Ye Lanxi is not the woman you deeply love—Ye Wuyou. Do you know that on the day Wuyou was tortured to death by you, I also lost my life in another world. However, fate is so wonderful that I accidentally entered Wuyou's body and continued to live in her place. Therefore, when I woke up, I had forgotten all the memories related to you."
"As time goes by, my memories of Wuyou gradually revived, but these memories make me immersed in endless pain every day. I really can't bear to enjoy everything you give me for Wuyou. Every time I see how good you are to me, I don't want to hide the truth from you. After all, on the day we cleared up the misunderstanding, we promised each other to be honest with each other in the future and not to deceive each other anymore."
"You are so smart. During the time you have been with me, it is impossible that you have not noticed that there are many differences between me and the Wuyou of the past. In fact, you have already seen the clues, but you just don't want to point it out."
Xiao Chuhan stared at Lan Xi in front of him silently, without saying a word. He really couldn't accept what Lan Xi said. To him, it was simply ridiculous.
