The Story Of Dusk 102 Eventide

"Isn't that what you will do?" Xiao Tianyao opened the prison door. "I am not done with you yet." He said while walking out of the room.

A while later a sound of clanking metal echoed through the narrow walls as they locked her inside again, giving her zero chance to escape.

Hugging herself tightly, Luna buried her face on her arms with Xiao Tianyao's cloak wrapped around her body.

His scent engulfed her, giving a sense of warm and protection.

Protection?

Luna chuckled dryly with that thought. She must have turned insane! She was trapped here because of him and she didn't know if she could get out in one piece.

Something was wrong with her.

Her breath became heavy as if something had clogged her throat and the room was spinning dizzily, only when she realized she had curled herself on the ground, Luna remembered that she had not yet drank her medicine, which Gong Xu had brought.

It wouldn't be good.

***

The loud sounds of the clock echoed in the pitch- black night along with the lively chatter from the Crown Prince's courtyard.

Suddenly the sky turned bright as fireworks were set off to celebrate a joyous occasion.

It had been two weeks since Xiao Jun decided to reside inside the palace, finally relented to the Emperor request.

This decision didn't please Qianru at all, because they were moving right a day after Zhao Tianqi's tea invitation.

Qianru knew Xiao Jun should have heard about the humiliation that she had to endure during the so called 'invitation', someone must have had told him about that.

But, instead of talked to her and explained his sudden decision, Xiao Jun chose to shut his mouth.

He only said that they would move to the palace and that was all he could offer as an explanation before he disappeared again for a week.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

Qianru also didn't try to confront him or she wanted to discuss this matter. But, her silence and Xiao Jun's ignorance somehow made them grew apart.

The Emperor himself had prepared the best courtyard for them and for Qianru's bad luck their courtyard was near the crown prince's.

Ever since they moved to the palace, Qianru and Xiao Jun were sleeping in different chamber. It was like a tacit understanding between the two of them as no one ever brought the topic for discussion.

In the last two weeks they were barely talking and only exchange a polite greeting. Qianru now was not only wife by name, but also a stranger to him.

How odd everything had turned for their relations.h.i.+p. But, Qianru could do nothing and she was tired to try.

More fireworks were set off to brighten the night sky, the light fell on Qianru's face, who was standing at the other side of the window, as she watched the beautiful flame.

Today was a blithesome day as the news about the date of Mo Su Chen and Ji Yunshu's wedding was finally settled. To celebrate this occasion, there was a private celebration party at the crown prince's courtyard between the the Ji's family and the royal.

The Emperor Mo Qian Yuan and the Empress Di Qing Luo were there as well, so the guards crowded the street.

Qianru frowned at the hustle bustle and noise that was so loud, she didn't like it. She was someone who preferred a quiet night, she even couldn't close her eyes with all of this clamor.

With the knowledge that was nothing she could do to save her situation and her failed attempt to sleep, Qianru chose to take a walk, perhaps if she tired herself eventually she would be able to fall asleep.

She took her cloak and walked toward the door, she would explore another side of this palace quarter, however the first person that she saw the moment she stepped out was the last person she wanted to meet.

"Can't sleep?" Xiao Jun greeted her.

He was leaning his back against the wall beside her door casually as if he had been waiting for her to come outside. And actually, he did waiting for her.

They had grown together and there was a moment that they were very close, it was hard to not know each other habit.

Xiao Jun very well knew about this and deliberately waiting for her to come out, there was no way Qianru could sleep through this boisterous night.

His wife was so easy to predict, he almost knew everything that she would do with a tiny gesture from her.

Actually it was relaxing, as he didn't need to stress himself out when he faced her. He had had enough encountered complicated people for the rest of his life, no need to add his wife on the list.

Xiao Jun was also aware with the disappointment that she felt due to his sudden decision to reside in the palace.

And he wanted to expound this matter.

"Let's take a walk." Xiao Jun clasped her hand tightly.
