Chapter 195
I don’t know how much time has passed. I only saw Yin Zijin leaning softly on Sheng Yixuan’s broad chest, her curved eyebrows slightly frowned, like the smoky eyebrows shrouded in the thin mist that permeated the mountains in the early morning, as if containing endless sorrow and resentment.
Yin Zijin murmured softly with a feeling of grievance: "Brother Xuan, when will you come to pick me up and leave here? I...I really don't want to stay in this Yin Mansion any longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, crystal clear tears rolled down like pearls that had broken off the string, falling straight into the crystal clear spiritual spring, splashing tiny ripples. At this moment, Sheng Yixuan's heart, which had been as calm as water, was also rippled by Yin Zijin's tears.
Sheng Yixuan had never seen Yin Zijin so pitiful and sympathetic before. He panicked immediately and quickly reached out his hand to gently wipe the tears from the corners of Yin Zijin's eyes. He asked softly with concern and love: "Zijin, what's wrong with you? Did Zhang do something to you again?"
However, facing Sheng Yixuan's repeated questioning, Yin Zijin just shook her head gently, closed her lips tightly, and said nothing. She just stared at the man in front of her who made her dream with her big watery eyes with great grievance.
In this way, Sheng Yixuan asked Yin Zijin over and over again, trying to find out the whole story from her. Finally, after countless attempts, Yin Zijin slowly opened her cherry lips and said quietly, "It's just some trivial matters in the backyard of the Yin Mansion. I don't want to embarrass Brother Xuan because of this.
Brother Xuan, just remember to come and pick up Zijin as soon as possible. "After that, a heartbreaking sadness appeared on Yin Zijin's pretty face again.
Sheng Yixuan hugged Yin Zijin tightly in his arms; his broad and warm chest seemed to be her most solid safe haven. He gently stroked her hair, his eyes filled with endless tenderness and love, and whispered softly, "Zijin, it is really inconvenient for me to interfere too much in your family affairs.
But please trust me, be a little more patient and wait for a while. After next year's election, I will marry you into the East Palace in the most grand and glorious way.
By that time, you will belong to me completely and entirely. Even if those people in the Yin Mansion want to control you again, it will be impossible to do so.
By then, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly. No matter what you think or what you want to do, I will support you unconditionally and obey your wishes.
But at this stage, the time is not yet ripe. Because you still need to rely on the identity of Yin Mansion to act, if you follow me without any clear reason and status, I am afraid you will suffer a lot of grievances and bullying.
After all, most of the women in the palace came from prominent families, or at least from poor families. If you don't have a legitimate status and just follow me, you will definitely be excluded and bullied by them. So, for now, we can only be patient and wait for the most appropriate moment to come. ”
Yin Zijin nodded, still a little worried and said: "Ah Xuan, I'm still afraid. I'm afraid that I've stepped from one cage into another. The rules in the palace should be more stringent!"
Sheng Yixuan gently raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from Yin Zijin's eyes. He stared at her with deep and concerned eyes, and comforted her with extremely patient and gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, Zijin. Although I am only the crown prince of the East Palace now, I still hold some real power in my hands. When the time is right, if you really want to leave the palace, I will find a way to disguise you as a little eunuch, and then take you away quietly. Then you can do whatever you want."
Yin Zijin listened quietly to Sheng Yixuan's words, with a touch of emotion and dependence in her eyes. Sheng Yixuan sighed slightly and continued slowly, "Zijin, I didn't really covet the throne. If not, I would never have revealed to everyone that I am gay.
It's just because my father was obsessed with balancing the delicate relationship between various forces - the aristocratic families and the children of the poor, my father himself and my mother's family, and how to maintain the supreme status of the imperial power.
It is for this reason that I had to be pushed onto the throne of the crown prince, which is as precarious as walking on thin ice. It is like picking chestnuts in a raging fire, unable to advance or retreat. ”
At this point, Sheng Yixuan's expression became solemn, and his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was recalling the thrilling scenes on the road to the throne: "This battle for the throne is thrilling, and if you are not careful, you will fall into an abyss from which there is no return.
Since I embarked on this road of no return, I have to be cautious and cautious with every step I take, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Otherwise, what awaits me is a miserable end of being torn to pieces. ”
However, when he looked at Yin Zijin again, the haze in his eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by determination and affection. "But Zijin, everything is because of you. For you, and for the beautiful future we both dream of. I am willing to devote all my strength to fight for this life-or-death gamble. As long as you can successfully ascend to the coveted throne, I will definitely do my best to help you realize your ambitions!"
Yin Zijin smiled slightly, and that smile was as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring, but in it there was also a hint of imperceptible worry and determination. She opened her red lips and said slowly, "Ah Xuan, can you really know and understand the ambitions I have in my heart?
What I long to liberate is exactly what you men are willing to protect and defend with all your strength. By then, the vital interests of countless people will inevitably be affected. Faced with such a situation, are you really willing to move forward with me? ”
Sheng Yixuan nodded without hesitation. His deep and bright eyes stared at Yin Zijin, and he responded solemnly: "Zijin, I know it very well. After all, you and I have known each other for eight years.
Over the past eight years, we have experienced ups and downs together, and the tacit understanding between us is beyond words. I can more or less guess what you are thinking, wanting and wishing. So you don't need to worry. ”
