Su Yunying changed the subject, pointing the finger directly at Yu Xiyan.
Why do you keep hurting Brother Shen?
Why do you repeatedly embarrass him and make him lose face?
"I……"
Yu Xiyan was at a loss for what to do.
"On the snowy ice plains, why did you abandon Brother Shen, who was so close, to save Lin Feng, who was a hundred paces away and in no danger at all?"
"You...were there too?"
Yu Xiyan stared at Su Yunying with disbelief.
He thought that only a few people would know this secret after it was reborn, but he never expected that Su Yunying would be there too? Why didn't he notice?
"Of course I was there. I saw you take Lin Feng and run towards the foot of the mountain without looking back, leaving Brother Chen to be buried by the blizzard. You are so heartless!"
"No, that's not it, I was..."
"Stop making excuses!" Su Yunying suddenly said with a serious expression. "I saw it all clearly. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that it was all real."
Yu Xiyan's face showed a hint of guilt, but she still forced herself to remain calm and said, "Yes,"
I was completely bewitched when I abandoned Shen Zhao, but I went back to him later. I never intended for him to die!
As a result, Su Yunying once again posed a probing question: "You mean you only remembered that Brother Chen was buried under the snow mountain after two days, is that right?"
Yu Xiyan's breathing quickened, and she asked uncertainly, "Have you been on the mountain these past two days?"
“Yes! That’s right!” Su Yunying replied forcefully, “I’ve always been by Brother Shen’s side. I’m the one who pulled him out of the icy vortex of the snowy region. It’s me…”
At this point, Su Yunying herself was taken aback, a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
Then her pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "It was also me who warmed up Brother Chen..."
At the same time, he thought to himself: I can't believe I was so close to the boss, really? How embarrassing.
Yu Xiyan was completely oblivious to the strange expression on Su Yunying's face; she was utterly shocked by what Su Yunying had said.
"So, Shen Zhao's escape from the snowy region was your doing? Why did you do that?"
"What? From what you're saying, it seems Brother Shen isn't dead?"
Are you feeling disappointed? You weren't here that day to collect Brother Shen's body, were you?
"You're talking nonsense! I'm here to save him!"
Yu Xiyan was so angry that she was trembling.
"Save him? If you really cared about him, you wouldn't have left him all alone in the snowy region!"
"No, that's not it, I was..."
"No need to explain, Yu Xiyan. Nothing you've done has been worthy of Brother Chen's sacrifices. Now that you've been given a second chance at life, don't you still want to let him go?"
Su Yunying's attitude gradually hardened, and her aura suddenly changed.
"I'm like this because of Raymond Lam, yes, because of Raymond Lam."
I was bewitched, blinded by Raymond Lam's sweet words. It was all my fault.
But in this life, I will never make the same mistake again. I will try my best to win Shen Zhao back and fulfill my responsibilities as a wife.
I will do my best to give him whatever he wants, I only ask that you, Su Yunying, don't interfere between Shen Zhao and me, okay?
Yu Xiyan was truly terrified.
If it were Mu Qiuyao, she wouldn't worry at all about what might happen between Shen Zhao and her.
But Su Yunying...
She truly sacrificed so much for Shen Zhao, and even gave her life for him.
If I were Shen Zhao, and I knew how much Su Yunying had sacrificed, would she still be willing to come back to me?
Just as Yu Xiyan was feeling uneasy, Su Yunying spoke up again: "Yu Xiyan, you still don't know where you went wrong. Do you really think it's all Lin Feng's fault?"
Yu Xiyan lowered her head: "I also made mistakes. I shouldn't have listened to others' slander and been hostile to Shen Zhao, and I shouldn't have let Shen Zhao down."
Unexpectedly, Su Yunying shook her head: "No, you have no idea where you went wrong. Let me tell you."
Yu Xiyan, the reason why things have turned out this way between you and Brother Shen is...
It was never about Raymond Lam or others spreading rumors; ultimately,
Actually, the person you love most is always yourself!
"What did you say!" Yu Xiyan's eyes widened suddenly as she looked at Su Yunying in disbelief. "No, I really love Shen Zhao, I love him so much!"
"You don't love him. If you really loved him, so many outrageous things wouldn't have happened!"
Su Yunying took another deep breath and then began a new round of soul-searching questions.
"Actually, you probably don't even realize it yourself, but whether it's Lin Feng or Brother Shen, you don't really love either of them."
You're just enjoying the sense of accomplishment from manipulating these two men.
To you, Raymond Lam is just an obedient dog; it tries its best to please and cater to you, its only use being to relieve your boredom.
As for Brother Shen, it's because he's so capable, so incredibly capable, that he completely overturns your understanding of people from humble backgrounds, and so incredibly capable that he gives you a strong sense of crisis.
Fearing that one day the throne will fall into someone else's hands and you will become his mere foil, you have to be on guard, displaying a cold and unapproachable attitude in his presence.
Yet you also give him subtle, elusive hope, forcing him to stay by your side and do things for you.
Raymond Lam is actually the best tool to make Shen Gege still have feelings for you.
Ultimately, whether it's Lin Feng or Brother Shen, they're nothing more than stepping stones for you to consolidate your imperial power.
Su Yunying's words were like a thunderbolt, causing Yu Xiyan's head to ring.
"No, impossible!"
She vehemently denied it.
“I truly love Shen Zhao. He is not a stepping stone; he is my husband.”
Su Yunying: "I believe you do love Brother Shen, but compared to your throne, this love is cheap and insignificant."
Because what you love more is the sense of accomplishment that comes with being at the pinnacle of power.
In the previous life, three thousand sects, the Nine Netherworlds knelt in submission, and all nations came to pay homage, all praising the glorious era of the Yintian Dynasty.
Dare you say you wouldn't yearn for that if you were given a second chance at life?
"I……"
Yu Xiyan really wanted to say no.
But as the words reached his lips, images of a prosperous era—with all nations paying tribute, dragons and phoenixes singing in unison, and thousands of officials kneeling in submission—resonated in his mind.
That scene, that feeling of standing on the summit looking down at ants...
It's truly unforgettable.
Yu Xiyan herself didn't realize that a faint smile had appeared on the corners of her mouth.
As long as Shen Zhao is by my side, everything will surely come back to normal!
