She still vividly remembered that Yu Jingchen, right in front of her... no matter how much she pleaded, he wouldn't soften his heart. She knelt at his feet, yet he still killed her father...
There were also repeated acts of coercion, including with the Empress Dowager… He forced himself to have sex with her. He forced the Empress Dowager to commit suicide by self-immolation in Cixi Palace. Nan Zhiyun shrank back, unable to forgive.
"If Yun'er is tired, then rest. I'll stay here with you, okay?" Yu Jingchen gently placed his hand on her body, but Nan Zhiyun moved it away.
Yu Jingchen's hand froze in mid-air, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He suppressed the stinging pain in his heart and withdrew his hand.
"Go to sleep, I won't touch you anymore," Yu Jingchen said, but Nan Zhiyun didn't give him any response from beginning to end.
As dusk fell, Nan Zhiyun, exhausted from the day, naturally fell asleep. Yu Jingchen only dared to check on her after confirming she was truly asleep, and he tucked her in to keep her warm.
Nan Zhiyun's complexion had not yet recovered; her pale face reminded Yu Jingchen of the events that had occurred during the day.
No one could know how tightly Yu Jingchen's heart was gripped when he heard Xia Ren report that Nan Zhiyun had hanged herself.
"I'm sorry..." There was nothing else to say but "I'm sorry." That night, Yu Jingchen sat by Nan Zhiyun's bedside all night. When Xinglai came in the next day to call him to court, he discovered that his emperor had not slept a wink all night.
"Your Majesty, how can your body withstand this? Even if you don't care about anything else, you should at least think about your health," Xinglai said worriedly.
"It's alright, I know what I'm doing. Go to court." Yu Jingchen's voice seemed to have become hoarse and he could barely speak. Fortunately, he was anxious. What on earth was His Majesty so stubborn about?
Nan Zhiyun woke up just as Yu Jingchen left. In fact, she had already woken up when Xinglai came to call Yu Jingchen, but she just didn't say anything.
No one outside the family knew that Yu Jingchen was injured. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he treated his wounds before going to court. A lot happened this morning.
The most important thing is that Nan Su has been found and will arrive in the capital soon. Also, Prince An should be back in the next couple of days.
Yu Jingchen reacted somewhat when he heard about Nan Su's situation. After all, if Nan Su returned, Nan Zhiyun's mood should be much better, right? He didn't care much about anything else.
Yu Jingchen had someone inform Nan Zhiyun that Nan Su was alright. Nan Zhiyun had already learned of this from the Empress Dowager yesterday, but she still felt fortunate to hear it today.
It's good that everything is alright... but... Nan Zhiyun had other worries in her heart. Because according to her memories from her previous life, her father would be returning this time with Prince An and the Empress Dowager...
But she didn't know what had gone wrong with her memory; many things seemed different in this life than before, so she didn't know if things would be the same this time. If they were... would her father still rebel? Would he still die at Yu Jingchen's hands?
Nan Zhiyun was filled with fear; she couldn't let this happen again. But how could she change things now? And would her father really rebel?
"His Majesty……"
Just as Nan Zhiyun was still lost in her thoughts, the voice of a palace servant came from outside; Yu Jingchen had arrived. Nan Zhiyun composed herself and regained the same composure as yesterday.
When Yu Jingchen came in, he saw Nan Zhiyun sitting on the bed, looking unhappy, and it was obvious that she had just been crying.
"Have you had your meal?" Yu Jingchen forced a smile, hoping not to make the atmosphere too tense.
Nan Zhiyun didn't respond, and didn't even seem to look at Yu Jingchen properly. Yu Jingchen wasn't angry, nor did he dare to be. He knew that he didn't have the right to be angry now.
Yu Jingchen walked up to Nan Zhiyun and squatted down: "Is Yun'er still angry?" His voice was gentle, and he had already lowered his attitude a lot.
Nan Zhiyun turned her head away, and Yu Jingchen grasped her hand. Nan Zhiyun tried to pull away, but it was impossible because Yu Jingchen's strength was too great.
"Let go..." Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen, her eyes, devoid of any emotion, startled him.
"I won't let go. If I let go, you won't let me touch you. Yun'er... I know you're angry, you hate me, but... Can you please not do this, okay?" Yu Jingchen pleaded with Nan Zhiyun. He really couldn't accept her like this.
Nan Zhiyun ignored him and struggled to break free from Yu Jingchen's grasp. Neither of them would give way, and Nan Zhiyun's wrists became red from being squeezed. Perhaps sensing this, Yu Jingchen finally couldn't bear it and released her.
Nan Zhiyun's wrist was already red, and she twisted it, feeling some pain.
"Are you so resistant?" Yu Jingchen asked her. Nan Zhiyun did not back down and looked at Yu Jingchen: "Does Your Majesty think I should obey?" Her voice was very soft, but Yu Jingchen felt as if it weighed a ton.
Yu Jingchen lowered his head and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "What should I do?" he asked.
"Your Majesty is the ruler of the country. No one has the right to interfere with what you do." After saying this, Nan Zhiyun turned her back to Yu Jingchen and went to sleep.
Watching her actions, Yu Jingchen was overwhelmed by a deep sense of helplessness. She was angry, but how could he coax her? It seemed like he couldn't do it... What should he do?
