Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Chapter 239: Chat on the way home

On the way back to the capital, Lou Xiao couldn't calm down.

As the carriage drove out of Yunsu City, the scenery along the way gradually changed.

The further north she went, the more she realized that it would not be easy to find an opportunity to go south again in the future.

Xiao Zhengdu saw that she had something on her mind, so he asked her several times but she refused to answer.

"Could it be that someone in Yunsu City has taken away her soul and spirit?"

He half-jokingly handed her a plate of dried fruits, but she took it and held it without eating.

Her eyes dimmed slightly, and it seemed that she did have something in mind.

Lou Xiao stirred the dried fruits on the plate with her fingers, picked one and put it in her mouth, and said vaguely,

"I always feel like there's something I haven't done—"

Is it about Hengjian Villa?

"We don't need to keep an eye on you anymore. You've been out of the capital for over a month, and His Majesty is still missing you."

Yunsu City is a place of extravagance and decadence, and the atmosphere is open. If she stays there any longer, she's afraid that Yu Heng will quietly get entangled with her, and that would be troublesome.

"If you don't go back now, King Hanhai's tears will flood your Majesty's study."

Lou Xiao froze, and was suddenly amused by his words, "Nonsense! How can he be that kind of person?"

Using Xiao Zhengze to distract her, he talked about the other person's embarrassing stories without any psychological burden.

"I'm not talking nonsense. He has been spoiled and clingy since he was a child. Whenever he is unhappy, he cries to Your Majesty, and he always makes Your Majesty do what he wants."

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhengdu couldn't help but think of the past. The boy with poor health knew that someone cared about him, and he asked for more without hesitation.

She still resented his arrival, which took away the attention of the imperial sister.

"He is young after all. Why don't you cry too?" Lou Xiao propped up her face and laughed at him. She was originally teasing him for being so tall and strong that he cried in an unruly way.

But when he thought about it, he was a mixed-race prince, crying in the palace. Who could fulfill his wish?

Xiao Zhengdu had nothing to hide, and said bluntly, "It's only useful if someone feels sorry for you and cries.

The reason I can stand before your majesty is because I refuse to admit defeat and cry. "

There was sadness in his words, but he was too stubborn to admit it.

Lou Xiao took the initiative to bring up her own story as a way of comforting him, "In fact, I often cried when I was a child. I practiced martial arts alone, ate alone, and slept alone. No one talked to me, and I was almost going crazy from loneliness.

Crying is just a way to vent. After crying, the depression in your heart will be relieved and you will feel much better. "

She chose the most difficult path herself, so no matter how much suffering she had to endure along the way, she would not regret it. When she felt uncomfortable, she would cry loudly to the mountains, and cry until she was exhausted, and then she would continue the next day.

He knew what she meant. She was telling him that crying was not a sign of weakness and he didn't need to act tough.

Xiao Zhengdu didn't think he was showing off. He didn't know why the imperial sister was willing to pick him up and raise him at such a thankless job.

But through these years of getting along with Xiao Zhengze, he vaguely felt that perhaps the imperial sister wanted to have a younger brother who was different from Xiao Zhengze by her side.

He always tried to avoid direct conflict with Xiao Zhengze, and did not allow himself to be similar to him in the slightest.

If it were in the past, he would definitely not get involved with the person Xiao Zhengze likes, but Lou Xiao might be the only exception.

“Only by enduring what ordinary people cannot endure can you gain extraordinary abilities. You deserve this achievement.”

At the same time, without certain talents, even if you endure as much hardship as she does, I think it will not be better than her.

Xiao Zhengdu wanted to know more, "I've never heard you mention it before, where did you learn from?"
