"Yi, how did you get here?"
"I... am here to look for someone." In fact, she herself didn't even know who she was looking for, or what her purpose was in coming here. To her, she was like an empty shell, not knowing where she came from or where she was going.
When Zhao Yehua heard this, something in his heart seemed to pull at him. Who could that person be? Why did he let her wait here? Why did she not even remember herself clearly, but remember that she was waiting for that person?
"Who is he then?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure I would recognize him if I saw him myself. That's undeniable."
Zhao Yehua began to look panicked, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't even know why he was like this.
But I feel unwilling in my heart, why the person in Jingyi's heart is not me.
But he didn't dare to say what was in his heart. If he did so, it would be a waste of time and effort if Jing Yi got tired of him.
"Yi, if someone keeps waiting for you like this, what would you do?"
Jing Yi raised her lips and smiled, her eyes were free of distractions, clear and bright, just like the pure and innocent water in the lake.
"I will still wait for him. That seems to be the meaning of my life. If someone else is waiting for someone like me, and that person is me, my heart will not waver."
The firmness and sincerity in her eyes make people fall for her inexplicably. Who can compare with that pure look and state of mind?
"But..." A hint of loneliness flashed in Zhao Yehua's eyes. What he was thinking in the past year had not affected her at all.
Why does my heart hurt so much? I have always had enough food and clothing since I was a child, and I could get whatever I wanted. But now I am so afraid of not being able to get anyone. It is really unbearable, but I have to endure all this for no reason.
If the emperor knew that I was so cowardly for a woman, he would probably be furious.
If that's the case, I would have truly disappointed my father.
You should try your best to fight against everything, maybe you can still have a glimmer of hope.
No matter what, a prince of a country can't be too bad.
"Yi, what will you do if I tell you that I like you?" Zhao Yehua raised his head and looked at Jing Yi seriously, his eyes flashing. He was expecting, hoping that he could get a satisfactory answer.
"I... also like you, but my heart seems to have no room for anyone else except the one I'm waiting for."
These words were clear to Zhao Yehua's ears, and every word was imprinted on his heart, as if corroding his heart like blazing magma.
It's so sad. Why can't that person be me? I have been by her side for the past year, and I have been waiting for the day when I can be with her.
But I didn't know that it was all my wishful thinking, and that person didn't care about me at all.
Zhao Yehua's eyes were filled with bloodshot, and the scarlet look made people feel distressed and scared. The tears fell without hesitation.
"Yi, you really haven't had the slightest affection for me? Even just a little bit?"
Jing Yi saw that he looked a little strange at the moment, with his eyes filled with loneliness and resentment, which made her heart tremble. If the words she had just said made him feel uncomfortable, then it was probably a fault.
But in my heart, I only regard him as a friend. If it is a love between a man and a woman, it is impossible to achieve it. My heart has already been filled with someone else.
"Yehua, you and I have always been friends. We are friends now and we will always be friends."
Her expression flickered as she stared at Zhao Yehua with emotion, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Zhao Yehua's face was filled with pain, his heart ached so much that he couldn't bear to force the person in front of him.
After all, what he loves is that he hopes that she can stay with him voluntarily. If not, then he will never be able to get her heart. What is the point of doing all this?
"Yi, what's so good about him?"
"Anything is fine. I've been through several lifetimes for him..."
Jing Yi was very surprised at what she said. How could it be like this? She knew nothing originally, but now she remembered too many things. Even she could not believe what she said.
"..." Zhao Yehua frowned. He couldn't calm down after hearing those words. If he had to go through several lifetimes just for that person, how could he compare to that infatuation?
After we said goodbye that day, I went to the lake to wait for her again, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Zhao Yehua was filled with resentment and almost thought that he had angered Jing Yi, which was why she left without saying goodbye.
He lowered his eyelids in loss, slumped down on the river bank, staring at the water, and the image of himself meeting her that day emerged in his mind.
Her figure is as light as water, and her eyes are bright and attractive...
But I'm afraid I'll never see her again in this life.
After a long time, Zhao Junlian noticed that his beloved son was in poor spirits, looked haggard, and was restless, and he realized something was wrong.
Until one day when Zhao Yehua wrote the word "Yi" on the scroll during study class, it caught Zhao Junlian's attention.
"Who is that person?"
"This is the person your son admires." Zhao Yehua said to his father without fear.
When Zhao Junlian heard this, his face became heavy and he slammed his palm on the table, scaring the palace maids so much that they knelt down immediately.
"Do you know what you're saying? As a prince, you're the one entrusted with my kingdom. How can you say such things? How can someone so emotional take over my kingdom?"
Zhao Junlian stared at Zhao Yehua angrily, without any extra emotion in his eyes. After all, for him, telling others to do something was just a matter of a word.
How dare he disobey his orders like this, and this person cannot be his heir.
"Father, human beings are born with emotions. How can you control your son's feelings? What's wrong with me loving her?"
"Do you know who you are talking to?" Zhao Jun's face turned purple with anger. It would have been fine if his son had disobeyed him, but now he was questioning the current emperor like this.
"I was talking to my own father, saying that everyone in this world can have someone they love, so why can't I?
I am also an ordinary person. If I had not been born in an imperial family, I am afraid my father would not have prevented his son from liking a woman like this!
She is like a fairy who has descended to earth. We mortals are not worthy of her. I just love her so much in secret!"
Zhao Jun frowned and tightened his hands.
Ye Hua is the most outstanding among all the princes. Who would stop him from having someone in his heart if he doesn't understand the hardships of being an emperor?
But they have to put their feelings behind them, after all, everything here is related to the rise and fall of the country.
You are a prince, so you have no choice but to do what you should do.
