However, upon entering the Eastern Palace, Yu Chuxuan discovered that he and Yu Chuyi were born from the same womb, yet Yu Chuyi was healthy and energetic, while he was sickly and weak.
Yu Chuyi was skilled in both literature and martial arts. He could understand anything from any book he held, and Yu Chuxuan read them as if they were astronomical phenomena.
Most importantly, Yu Chuyi deeply respected the former emperor of the Yu Kingdom and would not believe his words at all, which gave Yu Chuxuan a great headache and made him realize how different he was from Yu Chuyi.
But his hatred was growing, and the pain of each flare-up made Yu Chuxuan unwilling to swallow his hatred.
So he tried his best to study and learn to write under Yu Chuyi's guidance, and changed himself. As his knowledge grew day by day, Yu Chuxuan realized how difficult it was to kill the man who caused him pain.
If he doesn't do something in advance, he'll never be able to get over his hatred.
After living with Yu Chuyi for a long time, Yu Chuxuan discovered that his body was not without any problems.
For example, Yu Chuyi often suffers from minor illnesses in winter and needs to keep supplements or medicines on hand all year round.
Taking advantage of Yu Chuyi's need to take care of his health, he took the opportunity to reduce the effectiveness of those things, causing his health to deteriorate until he fell ill.
When the late Emperor of Yu visited Yu Chuyi, he saw that Yu Chuyi was gradually becoming unable to get out of bed, and the loving look in his eyes had faded considerably. He even considered deposing Yu Chuyi.
It was at this time that Yu Chuxuan did everything. After entering the Eastern Palace, his health had mostly recovered, but his condition was still not good enough for the late Emperor of Yu Kingdom to see.
Yu Chuxuan took a risk and found a powerful secret medicine to make himself look like a healthy person. He then secretly plotted to kill all the sons of the former emperor of the Yu Kingdom.
The former emperor of Yu Kingdom was not a normal person. He abandoned the crown prince he had been cultivating for more than ten years. After more than ten sons died, he was so angry that he wanted to kill Yu Chuxuan.
However, if Yu Chuxuan is killed, he will lose all his bloodline he can rely on.
On the contrary, since Yu Chuxuan's body showed no signs of illness, the former emperor of Yu Kingdom still thought he had made the wrong choice back then, and thus agreed to let Yu Chuxuan impersonate Yu Chuyi as the crown prince of Yu Kingdom.
Yu Chuxuan has no magic medicine that can keep him healthy and safe. He is just overdoing it with overpowering prescriptions, and the backlash is extremely painful.
The effects of the medicine have worn off over the years, and it's no longer effective. Yu Chuxuan is on the verge of death.
Having killed the former emperor of the Jade Kingdom, Jing Ning was the only thing he couldn't let go of.
He thought that by bringing Jingning and Yu Chuyi together, and by ensuring that Yu Chuyi would be the emperor of Yu Kingdom while he was alive, Jingning would not lose anything and would always have someone to protect him.
She couldn't even realize that the person she had spent almost eight years with in the Jade Kingdom had been replaced by someone else.
In the end, Yu Chuxuan still didn't understand Yu Chuyi and underestimated Jing Ning. He regretted coming up with such a stupid idea.
"Ah Ning, did you enjoy the story? I didn't abandon you; I just wanted you to continue to have someone to protect you in this world."
Yu Chuxuan spoke, but the person in his arms did not respond for a long time. He subconsciously tightened his grip on Jing Ning's hand, only to touch her cold palm.
Yu Chuxuan's eyes trembled slightly, and then a large amount of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He nestled against Jing Ning and lay back on the bed, chuckling foolishly to himself.
"It's all my fault. I made you think I abandoned you, and now you've left without a word."
"It's alright. It seems I should protect you. I'll be right there. I'll tell you the story again before you finish."
"I won't listen to anyone else, Yu Chuxuan will tell you himself."
After speaking, Yu Chuxuan slowly closed his eyes, making a prayer before he completely lost the last bit of his life.
He wants to meet Ah Ning first in his next life!
There was no sound from the bed. Yu Chuyi, who was lying on the floor, turned his head with difficulty and opened his mouth to call for someone.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to utter a sound before he coughed up blood and fell unconscious.
...
The Eastern Palace.
Jing Yan, holding Yu Chuxuan's token, entered the Jade Kingdom's palace without any hindrance and arrived at the East Palace.
He inquired about the location of the secret chamber in the Eastern Palace and finally found Yue Jiang in the corner of a dark, unlit chamber.
"Jiang'er, Jiang'er, wake up, I'm here!"
Yue Jiang was unconscious in the secret room when she suddenly heard a familiar voice and felt a real shoving.
She frowned, gently opened her eyes, and, unable to bear the sudden light, stared in disbelief at the blurry figure before her, asking in a low voice.
"Jingyan, you're here. Am I dreaming?"
Yue Jiang stared at the double image in front of her. She wanted to raise her hand to touch it, but her wrist was locked by heavy chains, and she was pressed down as soon as she raised it.
Just as she was about to land, Yue Jiang's wrist was firmly held in her hand, making her feel even more real.
Tears welled up uncontrollably, and Jing Yan's image miraculously took shape in her eyes. Yue Jiang both cried and laughed.
"Jingyan, you really came."
In the quiet, secluded room, Jing Yan softly murmured, his voice trembling slightly, "Jiang'er, I'll take you home."
He unlocked Yue Jiang's wrists and ankles one by one. As the chains clattered and fell, Yue Jiang was pulled into Jing Yan's arms.
She leaned against Jing Yan's chest, feeling at ease but still worried: "How do we get out? Will Yu Chuxuan find out?"
Jing Yan reassured him, "I made a deal with him, he won't stop me from taking you away."
Yue Jiang asked worriedly, "Is the price too high?"
“Not really, we don’t interfere with each other,” Jing Yan shook his head.
As they were talking, Yue Jiang had already been led out by Jing Yan. On the way, they encountered many palace servants from the Jade Kingdom. Some of them pretended not to see Jing Yan and Yue Jiang, while others bowed respectfully upon seeing them, without making any other moves.
Yue Jiang felt a little relieved.
Suddenly, she remembered something else and hurriedly told Jing Yan about it.
"Previously, Yu Chuxuan said he would return Jingning to Yu Chuyi, but later Yu Chuyi was drugged and taken away."
