Song Yu looked at Jiang Yi in disbelief, "He touched you."
"Yeah." Jiang Yi's face showed deep sadness. "Brother Yu, I don't want to either. I also want to be with..."
She looked at Song Yu lovingly, then suddenly turned her head away, tears streaming down her face. "Perhaps Brother Yu and I are just not meant to be together. The Song family sent me to the palace to eliminate any possibility of our relationship."
"I'm just a weak woman. I have no other options. I can only do this, or I'll die."
"Brother Yu, do you know what the Queen did to me?"
"What did you do?" Song Yu looked at Jiang Yi infatuatedly.
Perhaps it was because he was looking at the beauty under the lamp, the more he looked, the more enchanted he became. Song Yu felt that Jiang Yi now had more charm that belonged to a woman than before. Her every frown and smile was charming and radiant.
Under the slender jade neck is a chest as white as solidified jade. Her neckline is very low. From Song Yu's angle, he can glimpse what is inside. The slender waist bound by the jade belt is so slender that it can be held in one hand.
He unconsciously moved a little closer.
Sensing the burning heat in his eyes, Jiang Yixing's eyes were filled with a faint mist. "On my first day in the palace, the Queen had me thrown into the Taiye Lake."
"The water in Taiye Lake was so cold that I almost died."
Recalling that scene, Jiang Yi's face was filled with horror.
"At that time, the Queen really wanted me dead."
"How could my aunt do this? I'm going to ask her about it right now."
Looking at the weak appearance of the girl, Song Yu felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he wanted to act like a hero in front of her even more.
"Don't...don't go." Jiang Yi quickly stopped him, "Unless you want me to die again."
"The Queen treated me like this entirely at the behest of Madam Song. Brother Yu doesn't understand. It's the Song family who wants me dead."
"The better Brother Yu treats me and the more he values me, the more they want to kill me."
"They don't want Brother Yu to get what he wants."
"Otherwise, how could I, a mere unknown merchant girl, be known by the Emperor and chosen as his concubine?"
"The Song family chose me."
"They didn't want to make Brother Yu happy, so they sent me to the palace just now, just to kill me quietly."
"Brother Yu, if I died, would you be sad?"
"Will you remember?"
Song Yu said: "Of course, no, I won't let you die, we..."
"I knew it." Jiang Yi interrupted Song Yu, "After all, Brother Yu likes me so much. The Duke and Madam Song also know that Brother Yu likes me. They even threatened to go on a hunger strike in order to marry me."
"But why can't they love the whole family as well?"
"Don't they know that Brother Yu will be sad if I die?"
"Don't they want Brother Yu to live happily?"
"When my mother was alive, she loved me and gave me everything I wanted, just to make me live happily."
"Brother Yu's parents are not like that. They just want Brother Yu to live the life they envisioned and make him suffer."
"I really feel sorry for Brother Yu."
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Brother Yu has lost so much weight. I feel so bad."
"It's precisely because I know that if Brother Yu sees me dead, he will be heartbroken, so I dare not die at all."
"No matter how cold the water in Taiye Lake was that night, I tried my best to swim out because I didn't want to make Brother Yu sad."
"Brother Yu is so good to me, he even went on a hunger strike to marry me. How could I make Brother Yu sad?"
"Brother Yu is the first person who treated me well after my mother passed away."
"Brother Yu..."
Jiang Yi murmured softly, his eyes filled with affection, "Promise me that you will forget me in the future, and you must live well and live happily. If Madam Song wants you to marry, then marry her."
"After all, someone like me is not worthy of you."
Song Yu was heartbroken by the sincere words of his beloved woman. He stepped forward and held Jiang Yi's hand, "No, I won't marry anyone else. I will only marry you."
"Jiang Yi, we truly love each other. I'll elope with you."
Jiang Yi stared at Song Yu in a daze, trying hard to pull her hand free, but Song Yu held it very tightly, and she did not move.
"No, no, you are a noble prince with a bright future ahead of you. I am just a merchant girl. I am even the emperor's concubine. I am not worthy of you."
"I just wanted to see if you were okay. Seeing you're okay makes me feel relieved. Don't let me cause any unpleasantness with your family in the future. I just want to see you doing well."
"Just forget about me."
Jiang Yi suddenly pulled her hand away, then turned her back and said in a tearful voice, "I heard that Madam Song is already looking for someone for Brother Yu. I will bless Brother Yu when the time comes."
"After all, Brother Yu and I are not destined to be together."
She looked at Song Yu sadly again and made a gesture to leave.
Song Yu held her arm, and Jiang Yi said, "Brother Yu, when you go back, don't tell your family that you met me. I don't want Brother Yu to have another argument with Madam Song because of me."
Afterwards, Jiang Yi looked back at Song Yu for the last time and left reluctantly.
Song Yu felt like his heart was broken. Jiang Yi, such a good person, was still thinking about him.
I risked my life to call him here just to take a look at him and see if he was okay.
She just wants him to be happy, but his parents don't understand him at all.
How come she is so nice?
Song Yu didn't want to let go more and more, he was just a little bit away from getting her.
Song Yu sat dejectedly aside, feeling that life had no meaning at all.
The emperor outside the hall looked at Song Yu deeply, then turned and left.
The emperor quickly caught up with Jiang Yi. The two of them didn't talk much along the way. Until they returned, the emperor suddenly grabbed Jiang Yi's wrist and pushed him against the door panel.
"Brother Yu?"
"Just want to see Brother Yu one last time?"
"Don't want to make Brother Yu sad?"
"Let me think, why do these words sound so familiar?"
These words sound very much like what Jiang Yi once said to him. I'm afraid only the Song siblings would believe them.
