Chapter 121 He really remembered it!
The winter night was cold and quiet, snowflakes fell quietly, and the crackling sound of the charcoal fire was particularly clear.
He Yanchen's hands at his side gradually clenched into fists. His eyelashes trembled and he slowly lifted his eyelids.
Yueli stared at him motionlessly, feeling her heart beating rapidly, and her slightly rapid breathing drowned out the sound of the wind outside the window.
She felt that He Yanchen remembered something. He had been indulging her so much in the past two days and always looked at her with strange eyes that were a little sad. Was he remembering her death in her previous life and felt so guilty and wanted to make amends?
It must have been told to him by the monks who went to the ancestral temple that day. The old monk must have known about past and present lives. It was after that day that He Yanchen became so abnormal.
Yueli looked at him nervously, but saw sadness and tenderness surging in his pupils.
He didn't say anything, but just raised his hand again and again, stroking Yueli's neck with utmost tenderness.
After a long while, he sighed softly: "It's my fault. I didn't take good care of you."
Yue Li's eyes suddenly turned red. He Yanchen had obviously taken good care of her in this life. If not, then she must have died accidentally in her previous life.
He really remembered it!
"Your Majesty!" Yueli threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, her voice sobbing. "Your Majesty, do you really remember?"
"I thought I was the only one who had memories of my past life. I really wanted to find someone to talk to, but I was afraid that Your Majesty would think I was a monster. When did Your Majesty remember this? Why didn't you tell me?"
He Yanchen gently stroked her back. Yue Li buried her head in his arms, so she naturally couldn't see that his eyes, which were originally slightly drunk and blurry, were now clear.
Sure enough, she was hiding something from him.
Previous life?
Is there really a past life and present life in this world?
He Yanchen didn't believe these nonsense at first, but all the signs of Yueli proved that she really experienced a past life, and she still remembered it now.
He was eager to know what happened in his previous life.
He Yanchen said hoarsely, "It was that day in the ancestral temple, when I heard the words of the abbot, that I remembered it."
Yue Li quickly looked up: "Did Your Majesty really die in the Golden Throne Hall just as I dreamed?"
He Yanchen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Did he die in his previous life? And did he die in the Golden Throne Hall?
Yue Li must have been suppressed for too long, and without waiting for his answer, she continued crying, "Your Majesty...I was so stupid. On the day of the coup, Your Majesty was clearly sending me away, but I ran back. I wanted to help you, but...but I didn't expect to die..."
She felt a pang of pain in her stomach when she thought about it now, and she pressed her cheek against his neck, crying: "Your Majesty, you don't know how painful it was when I died. The sword pierced my stomach. Woo woo..."
He Yanchen's face turned grim. Stabbed to death by a sword?
The palace coup must have been caused by the virtuous king and his men. They actually killed Yueli so cruelly.
He Yanchen felt angry and felt that chopping off the wise king's head was too easy for him.
Unfortunately, the body of the virtuous king was thrown into a mass grave at that time. Now it has become a meal for wild dogs. There is no chance to catch it and whip it.
He Yanchen's grip on her waist tightened, his throat slightly dry. "It's all my fault. Jiaojiao left, so why did you come back?"
"I don't know. I just didn't want His Majesty to get into trouble, so I ran back. But I can't help at all, and I even caused trouble for His Majesty..."
He Yanchen wiped her tears for her: "How can it be a burden? If Jiaojiao is willing to come back for me, I will only feel happy."
Yue Li's shoulders twitched. "But if I hadn't returned, I wouldn't have died. If I hadn't died, Your Majesty wouldn't have gone to the Golden Throne Hall alone to avenge me, and certainly wouldn't have burned himself to death in the Golden Throne Hall..."
"I had a dream. I was so scared in the dream. I don't want Your Majesty to avenge me. As long as Your Majesty is alive and well..."
He Yanchen felt that the amount of information was a bit too much.
He quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind. So in his previous life, the virtuous king rebelled and forced the emperor to abdicate, and he wanted to send Yueli away, but Yueli ran back and was stabbed to death by the rebels. In order to avenge Yueli, he went to the Golden Palace alone and finally burned himself in the Golden Palace?
Yue Li's abnormal behavior in this life started last winter. He remembered that Yue Li was jealous of Concubine Jin and was angry with him. According to her personality, she would have been angry with him for a few days, but she came to Linde Palace by herself after only three days, and kept hugging him and crying.
The next day she began to think of ways to urge him to attend the morning court and supervise him in reviewing memorials.
I think it was from that day that she began to remember her past life.
She was a person who couldn't hide her feelings, and she had kept this matter a secret from him for over a year, licking her wounds alone. But he was still angry with her because she had repeatedly interfered with his review of memorials.
But she was reborn to save herself.
He Yanchen felt a lump in his throat and hugged her even tighter.
At this moment, he felt that his sky was completely bright, and Yueli was the beam of light coming towards him.
As for what the host said that day about people from other worlds shortening one's lifespan, He Yanchen didn't care at all. If it weren't for her, he might have been gone from this world long ago.
He will continue to give up on himself and feel that there is still nothing worth clinging to in this world. He will wish that the whole world would die with him.
But Yueli saved him.
He Yanchen still remembered that when he fell ill in front of Yue Li, she was not afraid of him, and when he expressed his disgust for the late emperor and the empress dowager in front of her, she could also understand him.
She would always stand by him, no matter what.
Yueli is his life.
He Yanchen's voice was slightly hoarse: "Jiaojiao, now that you remember everything, if I were still the same as before, would you leave?"
Yue Li shook her head: "Maybe... maybe I would want to leave at first, but Your Majesty is so good to me, I can't bear to leave Your Majesty. I want to be with Your Majesty forever."
"Your Majesty found me when I was lost in the woods, and saved me when I fell into the water. I cannot live without Your Majesty..."
He Yanchen lowered his head and kissed her brow: "I can't leave you either."
"I will always be good to you."
Yue Li cried again. She hugged He Yanchen and rubbed his neck constantly. Her tears wet his clothes. She also clung to him and talked about many things in her past life.
The emotions that had been suppressed for a year were finally released. Yue Li began to feel dizzy after talking for a long time, and she fell limp in his arms as if all her strength had been drained away at once.
He Yanchen rubbed her head: "Are you tired?"
Yueli closed her eyes and sniffed: "Hmm..."
"Rest if you are tired. I will always be with you and will not let you sleep alone."
Yueli snuggled in his arms, smelling the familiar and refreshing scent on him, and felt that her heart, which had been wandering and helpless for two lifetimes, had finally found a place of stability.
Before she fell asleep, a question suddenly flashed through her mind.
Is He Yanchen drunk or not?
