Jiang Zhanyuan's black eyes, which could not tell the emotion, were stunned for a moment. He always felt that he should say something at this time, but in the end he chose to remain silent.
He had already seen her short life in the storybooks. Rescuing her from the brothel was against her life trajectory. Not to mention her short life, even if she was a person with a long life, it would only be a hundred years, which was just a blink of an eye for him.
Jiang Zhanyuan finally stepped out of the room. When he turned around and closed the door for her, he seemed to see tears in her hesitant eyes, but the moment she met his gaze, she smiled.
But this smile is not pretty at all.
[Is the Emperor really leaving? Actually, it's just as well if you stay and keep her company. She doesn't have much time anyway.]
Sima Ming's voice rang in his mind, and a hint of hesitation flashed across Jiang Zhanyuan's face again, but the hesitation quickly dissipated.
[I've been to so many worlds, but I've never seen you speak for others.]
Sima Ming was silent.
He just felt that the Emperor's current mission target was different from the previous ones, and that her life should not be as simply described in a few words in the storybook.
[The Emperor has been to many worlds, but only this one has a mission related to love.]
Sima Ming knew that he could not change the Emperor's mind, but on the other hand, he felt that he was too talkative. If he was soft-hearted every time and stayed to accompany them through this ordinary life, it would take forever to cut off his hair.
The next day, because Jiang Zhanyuan's trip to the border was a punishment, not many people came to see him off.
Yunchu and Xiaotao stood on the city wall, watching the shadows gradually disappear in the snow, feeling unspeakably bitter in their hearts.
"Oh, Miss, let's go back quickly! The Second Prince might be back on New Year's Eve! He will definitely be reluctant to leave you alone!"
Yunchu let Xiaotao pull her away.
She always had a feeling in her heart that Jiang Zhanyuan would not come back.
Returning to the Second Prince's Mansion, Yunchu patted the snowflakes on the crabapple tree. She thought that next spring she would probably be the only one coming to see the crabapple blossoms.
.......
On this day, Yunchu sat in front of the window and slowly wrote down what she wanted to say to him in a letter. In fact, two months had passed since Jiang Zhanyuan left. During these two months, she had sent out nearly ten letters, but the letters she sent seemed to have fallen into the sea and there was no response.
"Miss! Something bad has happened, Miss!"
Xiaotao rushed back home in a hurry after buying things outside.
Yunchu quickly stood up and poured her a glass of water: "What happened? You're so panicked."
"Miss, the Second Prince...something happened to the Second Prince."
The moment these words reached Yunchu's ears, all her emotions instantly overwhelmed her like a tide, making her breathing become shallow and her heart aching. She didn't want to believe it and only hoped that this was Xiaotao's prank. "Xiaotao, you...what did you just say?"
"The Second Prince is gone."
Xiao Tao's voice was filled with tears. What was worse was that His Majesty seemed to blame her young lady for this matter and was preparing to bury her young lady alive with the Second Prince!
Yunchu held Xiaotao's hand tightly, his face turned pale in an instant, and he lost consciousness as his eyes went dark.
"Miss!!!"
Xiao Tao quickly called for help to lift the man onto the bed, and only felt relieved after finding someone to examine him.
Yunchu slept for three whole days. The second prince, the most favored prince in the court, died at the border. People in the court who originally belonged to the second prince's faction collectively overthrew and defected to the eldest prince. The second prince took advantage of the snowy night to rebel, and the entire Xia Kingdom changed overnight.
The Second Prince's Mansion at this time was very similar to the Yun family back then. The servants scrambled to snatch away all the valuables in the mansion, and only Yunchu and Xiaotao were left in the huge Second Prince's Mansion.
Yunchu used the little money he had to clear out a room for Jiang Zhanyuan, placed a memorial tablet there, and put on white mourning clothes.
She knelt there in a daze, as if she had lost her soul. Xiao Tao tried to persuade her, but it was useless.
Until this day, a group of people suddenly broke into the originally deserted Second Prince's Mansion.
He is the eldest prince and the emperor who has just ascended the throne.
"I'm quite interested in you, the woman who can make my brother so obsessed that he's willing to go to the border to marry her as his principal wife!"
He was wearing bright yellow clothes with a golden dragon circling on them, but the words he spoke did not match his identity.
Xiao Tao stood in front of Yun Chu and was about to speak when Yun Chu pulled her back. No matter what the purpose of this man's visit today was, only by speaking according to his wishes could she save her life.
After all, he killed his father to seize the throne. If you accidentally anger him, you will die.
If no one had stopped Xiaotao, she might have turned into a body by now.
"Your Majesty, you must have come here for something important. Your Majesty, please speak frankly. Yunchu will definitely not shirk his responsibility if he can."
Her voice trembled slightly, but she tried her best to remain calm.
She couldn't... couldn't be afraid.
Jiang Zhanchuan put on a smile and placed his folding fan against Yunchu's chin, forcing her to look up. "I just said that Jiang Zhanyuan is very interested in you, and I am also interested in you. How about you becoming my concubine?"
His father wanted to pass the throne to Jiang Zhanyuan, but now he has snatched it away. So the woman that Jiang Zhanyuan cares about will naturally belong to him.
In fact, he could have just robbed them, but he preferred to kill them and destroy their hearts.
In front of that loser Jiang Zhanyuan's spirit tablet, let him see with his own eyes how his woman no longer wants him!
Yunchu's heart froze, but she remained calm: "It is a blessing for me to be favored by Your Majesty."
