Confession or Confusion?

The carriage of the Emperor and the Empress left the city gates where they were sent off by the officials of the Court. The Military officials made an earnest request for the presence of the Emperor and the Empress and the others didn't have the heart to refuse.

Xing had planned to leave for the Great Sands by herself once they got out of the city, to find Seiren as she still believed that he is alive. She heard a knock by the window of her carriage and she looked pushing away the curtains to see Huojin riding beside her.

" Isn't this what you always wished for? Everyone praising you? How many more lives will you sacrifice for that? ", he scoffed coldly and Xing saw the disgust in his eyes. Bai Li closed the curtain as he saw her looking exasperated and hurt.

"My little brother's blood and my mother's tears are all on you!", his cold voice seeped through the window making Xing shudder and she clenched her heart that hurt like it was being squeezed.
