Chapter 65 To meet again in this lifetime
"Ah Xue, I want to take you away, away from this cage, to a place where there are no restrictions, where no one knows us, to live a free and unrestrained life."
Lu Zhaoxue hugged Chu Siheng tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Okay, I want to go with you and live a free and carefree life."
Suddenly, Chu Siheng's figure gradually became transparent in the moonlight, and finally disappeared without a trace.
"Siheng!" Lu Zhaoxue cried out in anguish, but could only grasp at nothingness.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind her, "Lu Zhaoxue, are you really that shameless? Chu Huaiyu treated you so badly, yet you still chose him!"
Lu Zhaoxue turned around abruptly and saw Chu Siheng standing behind her, his gaze filled with disgust and sarcasm.
"No, no..." This isn't Chu Siheng. Chu Siheng would never look at her like that, he definitely wouldn't!
"A woman like you is not worthy of my love!"
Lu Zhaoxue shook her head frantically, tears streaming down her face. "Siheng, no, I was really forced by Chu Huaiyu, you have to believe me..."
She really didn't want it to be like this. If she had a choice, she would only want to spend her life with him, even if it meant a life of simple meals, it would be better than staying by Chu Huaiyu's side.
But Lu Zhaoxue never had a choice.
"Lu Zhaoxue, I will never believe you again!"
Lu Zhaoxue felt waves of sharp pain in her heart, and a suffocating feeling overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.
"Sister! Wake up! Sister, what's wrong with you...?"
Suddenly, a cold hand gripped Lu Zhaoxue's chin, and bitter medicine was poured into her throat. She tried to struggle, but her chin was held down firmly, and she was forced to swallow the medicine.
An hour later, Lu Zhaoxue slowly woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Lu Zhaoxing's red and swollen eyes. "Zhaoxing... don't cry."
"Sister, Zhaoxing is so scared, waaaaaah..."
Lu Zhaoxing suddenly threw herself into Lu Zhaoxue's arms and burst into tears, crying, "Sister, I'm so scared, I'm so scared..."
"Don't be afraid, Zhaoxing, don't be afraid, your sister is here, your sister is here..." Lu Zhaoxue gently comforted her younger sister.
"Are you feeling better?" Chu Huaiyu's voice suddenly rang out from the side. Lu Zhaoxue looked up and saw Chu Huaiyu standing to the side with a somewhat solemn expression.
Lu Zhaoxue replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."
Upon hearing this, Chu Huaiyu felt a sudden, inexplicable pain welling up in his heart. The emotions he had deliberately suppressed burst forth like a flood breaking through a dam, completely overwhelming him.
Chu Huaiyu suppressed the turmoil in his heart. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't know where to begin. He gave a self-deprecating laugh and turned to leave.
Lu Zhaoxue watched Chu Huaiyu's departing figure without any reaction, nor did she care to investigate further.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Lu Zhaoxing got up from Lu Zhaoxue's arms and looked at her with teary eyes.
“Sister, you kept calling out Siheng in your dream, and you even said you wanted to leave the palace with him.”
Lu Zhaoxue was stunned for a moment. It was just a dream. Thank goodness it was just a dream.
"Sister, the imperial physician said you... caught a cold. Your new brother-in-law found you lying on the ground and hurriedly called the imperial physician. He even personally fed you the medicine."
"Hmm." Lu Zhaoxue nodded. So it was Chu Huaiyu... Then he must have heard what she said in her dream. Would he hurt Chu Siheng?!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhaoxue's heart tightened suddenly.
"Sister, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again? I...I'll go get you some..."
"Zhaoxing, I'm alright." With that, Lu Zhaoxue smiled faintly, reached out her arms, and hugged Lu Zhaoxing back again, gently patting her younger sister's back.
Lu Zhaoxue didn't know how much longer she could hold on, but she knew she had to protect Lu Zhaoxing, and... she hoped to meet Chu Siheng again in her lifetime.
As night deepened, moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating the two sisters' figures huddled together.
