Chapter 2627 Are you willing to give it up?
"The longer these two identities intersect, the more dangerous I become."
“…”
"She is more dangerous."
“…”
"Most importantly, my plan may be completely ruined because of this danger."
Zhu Feng asked, "Then what did you do?"
Yan Ye was silent for a moment, then looked down at Xue Yun, sighed softly, and then said: "I confessed everything to her, and then we broke up."
“……!”
Nan Yan looked at him with wide eyes.
Even Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
Even though they had only met for a few moments, they could feel Yan Ye's feelings for Xue Yun, but back then, he had given up just like that.
Nan Yan's breathing became a little disordered.
She looked at Yan Ye and said softly, "Brother Ye, are you willing to give it up?"
Yan Ye glanced at her and said calmly, "I've already done it."
The implication is that this question is redundant.
If he couldn't bear to leave, he wouldn't have separated from Xue Yun. Since the incident happened several years ago, there was no need to ask Nan Yan this question again.
Nan Yan was speechless for a moment.
She looked at Yan Ye with a complicated expression, and after a long while, she gently lowered her head.
My heart felt a little uncomfortable.
Indeed, she was stupid. She knew very well that love was not everything in life. For a man - or for a normal person, love only occupies a very small part of life.
This is the case with Zhu Feng.
Yan Ye...Yan Ye, who can make such a choice, is naturally more so.
But she stayed in the harem for too long.
Surrounded by women who would risk their lives to win the emperor's glance, these people have no ambition and will achieve nothing in their decades of life until their death.
Even if Mount Tai collapses and the sky is filled with smoke and flames of war, all they can talk about and think about are love affairs, because their brains cannot hold more complicated thoughts; their lives cannot afford more important things.
Normally, Nan Yan herself despised such people and such lives, but when she heard that Yan Ye had made such a choice, she couldn't help but ask that extremely stupid question.
Lovers should be fulfilled.
Isn’t it painful for Yan Ye to give up like this?
Zhu Feng sat aside, frowning and silent for a long time, then asked, "You gave up, then what about her?"
Yan Ye said: "After I left, I never looked back."
“…”
"Later, I returned to White Dragon City again. I was planning to get rid of the Lotus Heart Guild Hall. I wanted to stop this last thought and avoid giving others a handle."
“…”
"But, that's when I found out that she, she had lost her memory due to medication given to her by her mother."
Nan Yan's breathing tightened: "Ah?"
Zhu Feng reached out and held her cold hand.
Nan Yan turned to look at him, and seeing that he looked calm, she asked, "Your Majesty? You know that too?"
Zhu Feng said, "Just now, Xue Yun also told me that it was her mother who poisoned her with the Marrow Cleansing Flower, so she lost some of her memories."
“…”
Nan Yan's cold little hand was held in his palm, and her fingertips were trembling.
In fact, on that occasion, Xue Yun fainted in front of her due to heatstroke. When they undressed her, they discovered the dense needle marks on her body. Nan Yan realized that she was detoxifying just like Zhu Feng.
In other words, Xue Yun lost a period of memory.
However, even though she knew the truth, even though she and Zhu Feng had speculated about what this woman had experienced, no matter how wild her imagination was, she could not have imagined this.
It turned out to be her own mother——
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "Her mother never allowed her to make any mistakes, let alone her falling in love with a man as a woman. That would very likely ruin her mother's plan to preserve the family business."
Yan Ye nodded.
"yes."
“…”
"I heard that after I left, she wanted to leave Bailong City and the Xue family, but later, due to a serious illness, she suddenly settled down."
“…”
"I know it was her mother who did that to her."
Zhu Feng asked, "So, what do you think?"
Yan Ye said: "She forgot about me, which is perfect. I can do what I should do without any worries."
"No worries?"
Zhu Feng repeated these four words and said, "Really?"
Yan Ye gave him a cold look and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"
Zhu Feng asked, "If you really have no worries, why are you still the owner of the Lotus Heart Hall until now?"
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Ye was speechless.
Zhu Feng looked at him and said, "It turns out that even someone like you can deceive yourself."
“…”
Yan Ye frowned.
He didn't say anything in rebuttal.
Perhaps, it’s because I know I can’t refute it.
He just looked down at Xue Yun in his arms with a complicated expression. He was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "I know she has lost her memory, but I dare not and cannot go to see her. After Ashig died, I stayed with Arslan. He is much more shrewd than Ashig, and I need to be extremely alert to deal with him."
“…”
"What's more, there's Monk."
“…”
"During the years when the two of them were at odds, I couldn't distract myself even a little bit. Until, under my arrangement and persuasion, Arslan slowly moved his forces westward to White Tiger City."
Xiu Yun sat beside her with a pale face, listening to all this. Only Nan Yan would look at her from time to time.
Seeing her gloomy expression.
At this time, she whispered: "If I were smarter, adults wouldn't have to work so hard."
Yan Ye looked at her and said lightly: "I have already said that you did a good job."
Tears welled up in Xiuyun's eyes. He lowered his head and said softly, "Thank you, sir."
Zhu Feng glanced at them and didn't respond.
After a short silence, he said, "You only started to appear beside us after Arslan's forces reached White Tiger City."
Yan Ye glanced at him.
That look - although from the very beginning, his attitude towards Zhu Feng was just like that of a commoner towards the emperor, he was always neither humble nor arrogant, but this look was obviously mixed with other emotions.
Man's emotions against man's.
Zhu Feng asked, "When you let go, after you knew she had lost her memory, didn't you ever consider that she might fall in love with someone else? Or even that, if her family issues were resolved, she might regain her womanhood and marry another man?"
Yan Ye looked at him.
He glanced at Nan Yan beside him again.
He only said, "But it shouldn't be you."
“…”
"With her character, she should marry someone who truly loves her, be cared for, and live a good life."
