Chapter 203 The war begins. I think Brother Zhao has the qualities to be an emperor!

A long time in the future.

Shangmo Bookstore still has its original layout.

Just like the day it opened, it seems like nothing has changed.

Hua Chao was not in her room, but sitting quietly in the study.

The light is bright and clear.

After hearing footsteps.

She put down the book, raised her head, and glanced at Ying Wuji through the window.

There was a gentle smile on his face, exactly the same as in his memory, as if nothing in the past had happened, Ying Wuji had not yet become a royal consort, and this was also the place where the two of them rested together.

In a trance.

Ying Wuji seemed to have returned to the time when Shangmo Bookstore was first opened. When the backyard was bustling, there would always be a group of Mozhe or other guys gathering together to drink and barbecue.

When it was quiet, there were only two people in the yard. Sometimes they each leaned on a chair and read quietly, and sometimes they sat face to face and talked about the script until late at night.

"Wuji, come here quickly!"

Hua Chao smiled and waved at Ying Wuji.

Ying Wuji smiled and responded: "Yeah!"

Turning around and looking at Bai Yi, he found that his mother was nowhere to be found.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the familiar study.

There was a chair opposite the desk, and a glass of steaming wine on the table.

It should be prepared for him.

"Drink it quickly, it's still hot!"

Hua Chao smiled at him and continued to copy the script in his hand.

"Um!"

Ying Wuji sat over, drank the wine in the glass, and looked at Hua Chao quietly.

Although she had lost some weight, she looked very good. I don't know if it was because Bai Yi took such good care of her.

As if she felt Ying Wuji's gaze, her eyes fluctuated a little. She could no longer pretend to be calm, so she placed the pen at an angle on the inkstone.

Ying Wuji held her hand and said, "Sister Hua Chao, let's go back!"

Hua Chao smiled and asked, "Do you miss me?"

"think!"

"Do you miss her then?"

“…”

Ying Wuji paused, took a deep breath and said: "I do! Sister Hua Chao, I am sincere to her, and I am sincere to you. I know you don't believe it, but..."

Hua Chao suddenly interrupted with a smile: "I believe it!"

Ying Wuji was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously felt a little happy in his heart.

He tightened his grip on Hua Chao's hand.

Hua Chao did not hide, and the smile on his face did not diminish at all: "In fact, I have understood a lot during this period of time. You are different from Luo Yan, and I am different from my mother.

Luo Yan was unwilling to give up his ambitions, so my mother took me away from Jiangcheng.

However, in order to keep me, you faced the pressure from the royal family and used your political achievements to keep me in the Prince Consort's Mansion.

I know, I always knew it!"

As she spoke, her eyes were a little red.

There was no longer any blame in his eyes.

There is only loneliness and self-blame.

Ying Wuji felt distressed: "Then come back with me! I will treat you the same way I treated you before!"

Hua Chao did not comment, but asked another question: "Wuji! If I had returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion earlier and had a position to protect you, would I have possessed you alone?"

Ying Wuji thought for a moment and did not answer.

Hua Chao sighed softly: "So I feel like I'm really greedy. I can't give you the sense of security you need, but I want a relationship from you that belongs only to me.

Now that I think about it, apart from the 7,000 taels I gave you when I first opened the bookstore, it seems like I have always been making things difficult for you.

It is obvious that you are the person who understands me best in the world, and it is obvious that as a brother and sister, I can stay by your side with peace of mind for the rest of my life.

But I am just so greedy.

You are so smart that you think that since Princess Yuanyang doesn't love you, I can be your real wife.

But I am so timid.

I could have asked more questions that night, but I was afraid to ask no, which has led to our current situation.

Xindi is very busy, Mingdu is very dangerous, and the academy is also being built.

You are already tired enough, but you still have to worry about me.

How can I be a qualified wife? "

She said at the end.

There was even a hint of crying in the voice.

Ying Wuji thought that what was waiting for him would be cold words.

Unexpectedly, it was her self-blame.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked around the table and hugged her: "No! You are qualified, it's my problem."

"You don't have to comfort me!"

Hua Chao did not resist, just leaning on his shoulder quietly: "This is how the world is, everyone lives a very tiring life. I think I have a miserable life, but in fact, I had my mother to protect me when I was a child, and after my mother passed away, I had Luo Xiang to protect me, and then I met you.

No one can harm me except the person who cast the curse.

I have clearly seen those women who were forced into prostitution or who were taken as concubines by the rich and powerful and were looked down upon.

But I never thought that if I had no identity, my worst fate would be this.

I'm still so greedy.

I was so greedy that I always thought you would be mine.

But I was really scared.

It's not like I haven't persuaded myself to accept that you can have three wives and four concubines. A good man like you deserves it!

But every time I think of your concern and love for me, I also gave it to another woman.

It was like I was falling into an icy hole!

If I could choose again, I would definitely not live in the Prince Consort's mansion, and I would not use the musk deer on you.

I really regret it!"

The more she spoke, the sadder she became.

She leaned on Ying Wuji's shoulder and sobbed.
