C15 Let this king hug you

"I told you that on your thirteenth birthday. I don't want this world, I don't want the position of being above everyone else, I only want you! As long as you are here, I will guard by your side for one day! " Finally, her black eyes, which were as clear and profound as obsidian, locked onto Chu Xinyan's beautiful yet sickly face.

A hot tear dripped down from Chu Xinyan's eyes. It fell onto the blanket embroidered with beautiful crescent moons before her, instantly melting like a blue lotus in a blazing flame.

"Forget about me. The Queen Mother and the Crown Prince have treated me extremely well. We are no longer possible, do you understand? What's the use of you guarding me like this? " Chu Xinyan's voice was a bit hoarse.

"If he truly meant it for your own good, then he wouldn't have married you back to the Eastern Kingdom and left you with a long illness!" The black eyes of Yue Ye and Han Jiang were filled with a frightening depth, and their lips were pursed into a cold curve.

Chu Xinyan smiled gently. She looked at the flickering flame, "Do you know what the crown prince told me? The Crown Prince said that he did not want me to live like this, careful as an alien. He wanted to give me a wedding with a crown on top of the capital. He placed it on his palm and carefully took care of it. He wanted to become the happiest woman in the world. Even if it's just for a few days or a few months, he only hopes that I'll be able to fill up my memories at the very last moment of my life. He doesn't wish for me to come and go in vain, leaving behind only helplessness and sadness. "

"He has done it. He has never made me feel the least bit wronged. Every day, after finishing all the affairs of the imperial court, he would accompany me in listening to the wind and snow, playing chess and reciting poems. Knowing that my health is poor and not daring to let me give birth to a child for him and yet not wanting me to take that medicine, he tried his best to restrain himself. After one year, the number of times he touched me could be counted on one hand.

"All these years, you've always cherished me very much, and you don't dare to touch me easily. But the more you are like this, the more I feel like I'm an anomaly amongst women, and my heart is feeling extremely uncomfortable. But only the crown prince treated me like an ordinary woman and gave me what I've always wanted! "

Li Jun's fingers clenched tightly. Not long after, her knuckles turned white.

His pair of eyes, which were as thick as ink, could only sink, as if they were about to sink to the bottom.

"Smoke, is that what you meant?" His upright posture before the bed suddenly looked as if it had been struck down by something, and a trace of tiredness and desolation appeared on his face.

His clear voice had a trace of trembling, as if something had crushed all his years of perseverance and anticipation into pieces!

"If the heavens can let me live this long, I am truly satisfied. Now I just want to be happy for the rest of my life. " Chu Xinyan retracted her beautiful eyes and looked at the half-hidden face in the shadows. She pleaded with a weak voice, "Don't come back here again. I don't want to let down the crown prince and you won't feel bad either."

"Forget about me …" Accompanying the soft, hollow voice, a burning tear once again rolled down her cheek.

Ruyu's hands tightly held onto the quilt, doing her best to suppress the crying voice in her throat.

The tightly shut red-painted wooden door was pushed open softly. Familiar footsteps could be heard walking over. The shadow of the candle swayed slightly. The person standing in front of the bed had long turned into the crown prince, Qin Lianxuan.

His facial features were deep and his face was warm. Seeing Nian Yan sitting on the bed, he asked warmly, "Have you eaten the medicine?"

Chu Xinyan had already wiped the tears off her face. She nodded obediently, "I just finished eating. I was waiting for you to come back!"

There was a gentle smile on his face, but his heart was in extreme pain.

Even if she wasn't chosen by the crown prince, it was impossible for them to be together!

Because his future wife had to be chosen from the Eastern Kingdom!

No matter how nice the crown prince was to her, he couldn't compare to the ten years they had spent together. She just didn't want to disturb him any longer.

Jin Mansion

"Madam, over here, over here …" As soon as Qin Lianshuang walked into the Liu Garden, she heard a frolicking sound.

He saw three maidservants with round hair playing with a woman in a light green flower dress.

Bei Yunyi's eyes were covered by a white silk cloth. She stretched out her delicate hands to feel the air.

The corner of her lips that were like cherry petals rippled with an innocent smile. Under the bright sunlight, she looked exceptionally pure and clean.

"Ever since Madam's health improved, she no longer stays in the house like she used to. Instead, she pesters around the maidservants like a child!" Brook said in a gratified manner beside Qin Lianshuang.

Qin Lianshuang only pursed her lips meaningfully. Then, she lifted up her robe and walked towards the garden.

"Madam …" "Come and catch me …" Green Cloud's eyes turned and she suddenly saw the proud and aloof Jin Dynasty approaching. Her face immediately stiffened and was about to bow.

She then waved her hand, allowing the maidservants to walk to the side.

"Where are you?" Covering her eyes, Bei Yunyi did not know anything but walked in the direction of the green cloud.

When he touched a corner of his robe, he immediately cried out happily, "I got you …" He then took off the silk cloth from his face.

Qin Lianshuang appeared before her unexpectedly with a faint smile drawn on her lips. Her handsome face was filled with warmth, like the first ray of sunlight in spring.

Bei Yunyi was slightly startled. Her thin cicada wings trembled a few times and was about to withdraw her hand, but she was stopped by Qin Lianshuang's big hand.

"Didn't you catch This King? Then, how about This King's turn to cover his eyes and scratch you? " His wrist, which was as smooth as congealed oil, was grasped in his hands. The tyranny and brutality of the past had long since disappeared from his eyes.

Ever since he rescued her from the Lotus Pond three days ago and during her illness, she no longer resented him as much as before. However, she was still somewhat fearful of him.

Bei Yun Yi lowered her eyes. Her sharp lower jaw was hidden under her clothes embroidered with a plum flower. She shook her head and was about to pull out her hand from Qin Lianshuang's palm.

Qin Lianshuang did not make things difficult for Bei Yunyi. When she let go of Bei Yunyi, she could not help but take a few steps back.

He stooped down very patiently and spoke warmly to Bei Yunyi once again, "If you don't want to play with me, then I won't play with you. I'll follow your lead!" Did you take today's medicine? "

Bei Yunyi's face remained downcast. She grabbed a corner of her clothes with both hands and nodded at Qin Lianshuang.

"That's good. How about the King of Japan bring you back to the Northern Mansion?" All of Bei Yunyi's nervousness and uneasiness entered Qin Lianshuang's eyes.

The moment she heard "go back to the Northern Prefecture", Bei Yunyi immediately raised her head and her clear eyes shone into the pair of narrow almond-shaped eyes. She nodded her head vigorously like a gentle cloud that came out of a reaper's mouth.

Qin Lianshuang smiled faintly: "Then if you let me hug you, I will take you back tonight after I finish my work!"

Bei Yunyi took another few steps back and shook her head at Qin Lianshuang.

"Don't be afraid, just let This King hug you for a bit." Qin Lianshuang guided her patiently.

However, Bei Yunyi still shook her head, obviously unwilling to do so.

Qin Lianshuang straightened her back. Her gentle smile was still there, but there was not much warmth to it: "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you. I will accompany you back to the Northern Residence after tomorrow's assembly!"

"Madam, look how nice the prince is to you, everything depends on you. On the night of your high fever, the prince stayed by the side of the bed all night without closing his eyes. After the morning assembly, he continued to stay by your side until you woke up!" When the green cloud saw Qin Lianshuang leave, she immediately stepped forward and tried to persuade her patiently.

The other two maidservants also nodded in agreement, "That's right Madam, the prince treats you so well, so what if you let the prince hug you?"

Bei Yunyi's downcast eyes flashed a cold smile. He had only been practicing on the surface and had never taken it personally!

How could he have stayed by her bed all night?!

Furthermore, it was already the third day since their agreement. Once she got what she wanted, she would know how to deal with Qin Lianshuang.

After three more rounds of fighting outside, Bei Yunyi put on her clothes and quietly walked out of the willow garden. She didn't even dare to hit the lanterns as she borrowed the sparse moonlight to arrive at the Lotus Pond.

When she walked in, she saw a tall and slender figure sitting on the eaves of the pavilion as he drank wine under the moonlight. His silhouette that was enveloped by the moonlight appeared to be even more lonely and desolate.

"Pa!" Before she could say anything, a letter was thrown in front of her. This letter was very thick. It was obvious that it had thoroughly investigated Qin Lianshuang's past.

"Thank you!" Bei Yunyi raised her head towards the eaves of the pavilion and thanked Ji Yunshu.

However, the man sitting on the pavilion still did not have any reaction. He held the jug of wine in his hand and gulped it down. It was obvious that he did not want to be disturbed by her.

Bei Yunyi turned to leave but couldn't help but to remind him, "You're one of the prince's secret guards. If you get drunk, won't the prince punish you?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Li Jun's cold voice revealed a coldness that was able to repel people a thousand miles away.

After that, he raised his head and poured the remaining wine from the pot into his mouth. The pungent wine flowed down his throat and into his stomach, and then continued to spread through his limbs and bones, giving him a moment of comfort.

Bei Yunyi put away the envelope in her hand and turned around to leave. Her slender and soft body was shrouded in the night sky. She looked weak and delicate, but there was also a hint of tenacity to her.

Only at this moment did Li Jun turn her gaze towards this figure. Her drunk eyes narrowed slightly, filled with an ice-cold intent.
