Yaoyue passively let him hug her, holding her in his arms.

The voice that came from his shoulder was very indifferent, really very indifferent. It was impossible to tell if it was emotional or if it was just a question about someone else. It was completely irrelevant.

In Yao Yue's heart, a stormy sea of consciousness suddenly rose. It was as if countless needles were repeatedly stabbing her, causing every pore to feel a slight pain.

"Royal father summoned me to the Venerable Heavens Sect today and I saw the paper you presented to him."

His apathy was broken. His voice was lowered, and his pitch-black eyes became even deeper, like a Devil's Snare flower. The grief on Yaoyue's face was restrained with all her might, revealing a deathly white color.

You Jin slowly pulled Yao Yue away from his bosom, no longer in a passive state to wait for her answer. He looked at her pale and defeated face, unable to conceal his despair.

He suddenly felt shocked! He was afraid that he would hear something bad from her red lips. But before he could wake up from his panic, Yao Yue had already left his embrace.

She took three steps back. The air around her seemed to have been pierced through by a needle as it surged in, causing her mind to suddenly clear up. If the emperor were to show the paper, it would mean that You Jin had gained a little more status in the emperor's heart. Compared to the ignorant You Xin, You Jin seemed to occupy the entire heaven and earth.

But why would the Emperor do this?

Yao Yue gradually quietened down. The fear from before had receded like the tide, leaving behind only a bit of desolation and a bit of sorrow.

"Your majesty, why did I show you that note?"

She looked directly at him, her eyes clear and firm. You Jin was shocked, he never thought that she would turn the tables around. Even more so, he didn't expect to see the complete stranger, Su Yaoyue, at this very moment.

After a long silence. "You Jin felt his whole body go cold, as if he had been frozen." royal father wanted me to make a suggestion regarding Mongolia's lack of tribute. It is very obvious that royal father also asked you about the same thing. "

After pausing for a moment, a sharp glint flashed across You Jin's eyes as he continued, step by step, "Father said that you and I will take care of Mongolia. You are now the leader of the Disciplinary Guard."

With just three steps, he returned to Su Yaoyue. In a superior position.

Yao Yue's eyes jumped as she looked at Gui Jin in surprise. She didn't expect that the Emperor would reveal everything about her to You Jin.

She was deep in thought and didn't pay any attention to your feelings, or perhaps she didn't even have time to care about them. Seeing such a complete stranger like Su Yaoyue, You Jin felt as if the fire in his heart was burning hotter and hotter, as though it was about to burn down that clean patch of land at the bottom of his heart.

What was he? To Su Yaoyue, what was he?

Reaching out his hand, You Jin grabbed Yao Yue's arm. He could no longer tolerate this kind of Su Yaoyue. It was as if she was a mirror, reflecting his ignorance!

His hand became more and more forceful. He purposely did it so that Yaoyue let out a stuffy groan and unconsciously frowned. He pulled her closer with a sinister and ruthless look in his eyes, "Just what am I to you?"

He didn't care what kind of woman she was. Love was something that he could never explain. Even if she was a prostitute and he fell in love with her, he would never be able to extricate himself from it.

However, he couldn't tolerate her taking advantage of him! He could not tolerate his heartfelt feelings towards the end, as it was only a smear of red on her sword!

He felt guilty for her, uneasy for her, and sleepless every day. However, all of this turned out to be a huge joke. He acted as though he was a fool, while she, on the other hand, watched the play with a clear conscience!

The malice in his eyes increased a bit. Yao Yue didn't say anything, only expressionlessly looking at him. This made him want to go crazy.

"I love you." Hiding his gaze, Yao Yue retracted the emotions in her eyes, not wanting to be seen by him. I've always loved you and never lied to you! "

"You're lying!" You were so angry that you interrupted her with a roar, "How come you never told me about these things? You clearly became royal father's person so early on, why have you never told me that I'm not worthy of your trust? "

His face was contorted with grief. It was because he couldn't hold back the pain in his heart. The woman he loved the most. Separated him from his heart.

Yao Yue resisted the urge to raise her head. She resisted the urge to hug him and comfort him.

She had to expend a great deal of effort in order to hide that teardrop behind her face.

"You Jin, I also have people that I want to protect. Although I have never told you these things, I have never lied to you. Yes, I am indeed one of the Emperor's men. I am risking my life for him, and if it weren't for you and You Xin, I wouldn't be alive today. From the day I entered the palace, I was forced to do so. The name Su Yaoyue has long ago become dark and unbearable; my heart is no longer the same as it was before. "

"Why?!" Just a few short sentences, and you can't help but blush like a mad beast, "Why did you do that? "Why?"

This question was asked so easily. Why?

With a helpless smile, Yao Yue raised her hand and slowly struggled out of You Jin's grasp, "I've said it before, I also have people that I want to protect. I have to rely on my own abilities to protect the people I want to protect? "

"Am I not worth believing? Can't I protect you and the people you protect? "

When the answer comes, you feel as if your world is falling apart. It was just like a few years ago, when she was curled up in the back hall on that cold day and watched her mother's body slowly cool down, he was powerless.

Yaoyue opened her mouth. She wanted to say, If I could count on you, I wouldn't marry You Xin. But as the words came out of her mouth, she lost the courage to continue.

She knew what he was thinking. To a man, a country like Jiang Shan was more important than a woman. Not to mention that to You Jin, as long as this woman was still alive, she would be able to reach the ends of the earth. If he wanted to, she would be his.

That was why he had been so indifferent when their marriage failed, allowing her to propose an edict to save her. He had allowed her to marry a man she didn't love.

No matter how shrewd he was, he would not ruin the effort that he had accumulated over the years just to be impulsive.

He wanted both fish and bear paws. What a greedy man!

Maybe she should blame him for being ruthless. However, she didn't in the end. Because she loved him, she accepted even his selfish considerations. She would rather believe that you love her in your own way.

She did not care about your selfishness.

The smile on her lips widened. Yaoyue raised her head, her gaze becoming softer, "You Jin, you are a noble prince, the Emperor loves your son, and has great authority. Do you not have times when you feel bad? Was there nothing that couldn't be done? I don't want to rely on anyone. "

She turned around and slowly paced around the spacious room. "My mother died early and was raised by a servant girl. My father didn't love me, my aunt hated me to the bones, and my family treated me as a disgrace. "I have long since gotten used to it. In this world, only by yourself can you be the most reliable."

"As soon as I entered the palace, I was assigned to wait upon the Emperor in the palace of Chin An Palace. The current Emperor has great talents and has plotted against people before, and I am just an insignificant little palace maid. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. "The Emperor has carefully nurtured me. I have done things for the Emperor, but no one would have thought that the weak and lowly Su Yaoyue would actually be a spy for the Emperor."

Stopping for a moment, Yao Yue bitterly smiled, "Yes, I am a spy, or a killer. I kept going in and out of Tumen, changing Tumen's situation, risking my life for the emperor's great cause. "I've let down many people and schemed against many people. However, the only person I haven't let down is you."

She turned her head and calmly looked at You Jin. There was a calmness in her eyes that had never been present before, causing You Jin to panic inwardly. I held my own heart. Even at the side of a man I didn't love, I never wavered. The only person I am worthy of is you. "

A heavy suffocation struck You Jin. His eyes were red as he stood on the spot, looking at her. He was a bit helpless, but also a bit aggressive. The anger and unwillingness in his chest turned into threads little by little under Yao Yue's gaze, tightly binding his heart.

With a sudden movement of his body, You Jin's resolute face collapsed. He dejectedly turned around and sat on the nearby stool.

Yao Yue had always thought that when You Zui wore the imperial court uniform, she looked the most beautiful. Brave and tall, that kind of imposing aura had intimidated her heart. At this moment, the same back, the same clothes, in her eyes, were so thin and desolate.

A wave of hot air rushed into his eyes. Yao Yue fiercely bit her lower lip and withdrew the tears in her eyes. She really wanted to reach out and hug him, wanted him to stop looking at her from his back.

However, she didn't have the qualifications.

For the sake of that man, and for the sake of You and You, she must maintain her present identity until a workable solution can be found.

The atmosphere gradually became heavy. In the hall, one person sat alone while the other stood alone. They were very close, yet they were far away.

"You and He Xin. "Finally, the sedentary person opened his mouth." How could he be willing to touch you … "

This was a problem that he was extremely conflicted about in his heart, and it was also the source of his pain.

Even if You Xin liked Yaoyue. However, he knew that he would not easily do such a thing under such circumstances.

The light in Yao Yue's eyes dimmed a little. She wanted to turn around, but she held herself back.

What was the use of fleeing now?

"I drugged the candle flame."

She forced herself to raise her eyes, her face still. You Jin stiffened, clenching his fists tightly. He then turned his head, and the sharp blade in his eyes struck his head. His skin was slightly aching.

"The Emperor found out that I was a virgin and wanted me to go to the border. If I don't share the same room with You Xin, everything between us will come to light. He wouldn't touch me for that sort of thing, not with his sister in the middle. Helpless, I placed the bewitching medicine in the candle flame … "

"Is there no other way?"

He ruthlessly interrupted her, wishing that he could strangle her to death! He was roaring with rage, and his voice was choked with sobs.

You Jin cried.

In his memory, this was the second time he cried.

The hand that Yao Yue hid in her sleeve was tightly clenched, using all of her strength to resist the gushing pain, "No. After that, I went to Tumen as per what the emperor told me, and you found out what happened afterwards. "

There was a faint smile on his lips. Yao Yue stared at the table, her gaze vanishing. The last bit of starlight fell into the dust with her words.

In the blurriness of her tears, Su Yaoyue was wearing a white dress with red lips. She was exquisite and beautiful, very different from the little girl who was so submissive in the past.

But it was a strange sadness.

When did she become like this? Using any means possible to achieve his goal?

The pain was like an executioner's hand, slowly slowing down his mental state inch by inch. He was on the verge of collapsing.

You Jin staggered as he stood up, forcefully collecting his only tear drop. He didn't want to see that face again. It scared him.

"The imperial report is with royal father. After you read it, write out the detailed plan as soon as possible. I await your brilliant idea, Chief Su. "

After saying that, You Zui acted as if he was escaping, quickly walking towards the door.
