The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 54

Murong Jingxuan didn't think that he would hear such a story from Qingyan's mouth. Rather than saying it was dream, it was better to call it a story, a story that no one would believe.

But for some reason, he was willing to believe this story. Perhaps in the unseen world of spirits, the one called Qilian Qingyan was carefully protecting this girl in front of him.

"I know you won't believe what I said, because I also don't believe it's real." When Qingyan looked to Murong Jingxuan, she reluctantly shook her head. "You probably think I'm insane to have said something like that, but I'm not insane, in fact my mind is very clear."

Murong Jingxuan tightly grasped her hand and pulled her into an embrace, "I believe you."

His words involuntarily made Qingyan widen her eyes. In her mind, she knew very well that this was a lie; a lie that she didn't need to bring full circle in the future with more lies. Rather than saying Qilian Qingyan was her past incarnation, it was better to say that everything was just a dream.

Because Qilian Qingyan has already disappeared from this world, completely disappeared without leaving a single trace.

"Why would you believe what I said? Or rather, you should think I'm a liar." Qingyan lifted her head up to face him. Perhaps that warm embrace made her feel a bit at ease.

"I know it was a dream." Murong Jingxuan gazed at her as he stroked her delicate black hair, "The first time you were poisoned, I just knew that you must have experienced a nightmare."

Although he didn't know what kind of nightmare the woman in her dreams experienced, but through Qingyan's expressions, he could vividly feel it. Moreover, it was more intense than before."

"Murong Jingxuan, you really shouldn't believe what I say." Qingyan looked to him and held his cheeks, "Are you not worried that I might be a messenger of death here to take your life."

Murong Jingxuan fixedly gazed at her and shook his head, "Little Yan'er, if you're willing, whether it's heaven or hell, I'm willing to accompany you for life."

Lifelong companion, this promise seemed too heavy. Neither of them could predict what's to come in the future, especially since she was still living at the Su manor.

Su Yun was still stationed at Qinzhou; for the time being, he has yet to return.

But one of these days, she will let the entire Su manor fall into pieces.

"Murong Jingxuan, this promise is too heavy of a burden." Qingyan look to him, slowly speaking, "I once thought of marrying someone that will stay by my side all my life, but this person, for their entire life, can only love me. The love I want is 'eternal devotion*', can you give me that?"

(*TN: The original phrase here was 'one life, one generation, one pair')

Eternal devotion, even when she became Su Qingyan, she still longed for this kind of love. Weisheng Junmo could give his life to only love her alone, but could Murong Jingxuan do it?"

"If this is the love you want, then why would I not fulfill it?" Murong Jingxuan let out a gentle smile, "I'm willing to give you my eternal love."

Murong Jingxuan originally didn't plan on marrying anyone. His father the Wenxuan King also gave his life to loving his mother, Zhongli Jingshu. He married Zhuo Yuping, only because he had a debt to repay. But for him, he would never marry a woman he didn't love for the sake of repaying a debt.

Eternal devotion was also the type of love he longed for.

He'd once thought of taking the hand of the person he liked and tread through thousand miles of mountains and rivers. Together with him, travel the world hand in hand.

But he knew Xuanyuan Yuzhen's dream, and he was willing to help Xuanyuan Yuzhen seize that throne, even if Hongjia Emperor was currently still very healthy. He was willing to temporarily give up on that goal for Xuanyuan Yuzhen.

If there comes a day, where he could give up on these lands, then he was willing to take his beloved and roam the world together.
