She doesn't want to fight, so someone wants to harm her.
With those disputes, Yuan Ye might misunderstand her, or he might believe her, but they will never be the same people they are now.
Years later, even if Jiang Tian were still alive, she would not be happy.
Moreover, she might be murdered.
Yuan Ye knew very well that she wanted freedom.
The only way to break this deadlock is for Jiang Tian to have a child with him, and he must be willing to choose only one from among many.
But Jiang Tian cannot give birth.
A dead end.
"Let me leave. I'll live a good life among the common people, enjoying the emperor's favor. That will be enough for me."
Jiang Tian's gaze was so bright and clear.
She had already foreseen the final outcome for the two of them, so she chose to leave behind all the troubles and go into seclusion among the common people, carrying with her the most beautiful memories of the two of them.
I shed tears on the Lantern Festival.
He looked at Jiang Tian, trembling all over. He wanted to keep her, but that would be extremely selfish.
At this moment, all he could do was hold her tightly.
Jiang Tian let him hold her, gently stroking his back to soothe his emotions.
She was so gentle and so tolerant.
But the more tolerant she was, the more Yuan Ye's tears flowed.
Did he really not think about the future of the two of them? Yes, he did.
He just didn't want to admit it.
He didn't want separation to happen to them; he just wanted to cover his ears and live one day at a time.
But Jiang Tian shattered his illusions, exposing all the crises between the two of them.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, so let's not suffer any longer and leave with good memories."
Jiang Tian took a deep breath and smiled as she told him that she was so insightful.
From their initial passion and intimacy, they have now reached a point where they are truly intimate.
Jiang Tian understood all his ambitions and all the problems he faced.
They are so good.
Yuan Ye's tears kept flowing out.
After a long silence, he picked up Jiang Tian and strode towards the bed.
The final night was all that remained, the ultimate experience.
That night, even after the passion subsided, none of them slept.
Jiang Tian lay half-reclined on his chest and said with a smile, "Do you remember when we first started out? I could tell you were a virgin the moment I saw you. No matter how well you pretended, you've gotten better with practice now..."
Yuan Ye couldn't even manage a laugh.
His hand kept stroking Jiang Tian's long hair, and the lingering affection in his heart prevented him from saying anything playful.
"Alright, stop making it so tragic. I have plenty of money, my uncle treats me well, and I can shoot arrows. You saw it yourself, didn't you? Lu Zhixing's fate is a perfect example. I'll always be able to live a good life."
Jiang Tian has sometimes talked about her childhood.
Zhao Zhen both doted on her and was strict with her. He always felt that she needed to learn some survival skills, so he made her learn archery.
She did indeed possess some talent, and later, as the mistress of the Duke's mansion, she set that ability aside.
When Yuan Ye learned of this, he encouraged her to pick it up again.
Now, Jiang Tian has become an archer again, though not a battlefield archer, but enough to protect herself.
She's leaving tomorrow, and even though Yuan Ye doesn't want to think about the future, he still has to think carefully about how she should live her life.
Will you choose to stay in Beijing?
Clinging to her last hope, Yuan Ye asked this question.
Jiang Tian shook her head, her tone decisive and straightforward: "I won't stay in the capital. I want to get far away from it."
"Why?"
"Beijing holds too many painful memories. If I want inner peace, why waste my time in this noisy place? I just want to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and live a peaceful life."
Yuan Ye remained silent for a long time.
Her answer was so clear and unambiguous, leaving no room for negotiation.
Since he had already decided to respect her, he naturally couldn't go against her wishes and force her to stay in the capital, as that would be unfair to her.
His heart was being torn apart, and he was in great pain, but he couldn't show it. He could only look at Jiang Tian with a hesitant gaze.
Jiang Tian used to understand him so well, but now it's as if he can't see through him at all.
Ignoring his gaze, Jiang Tian began to give him detailed instructions on some aspects of daily life.
"Don't drink cold water all the time. You're still young now, but when you get older, my uncle will end up like you. He's in pain all over now. Also, your left sleeve is always worn out. Ask the seamstresses to sew it thicker. You like sweets, but you can't eat too many. You have to be careful..."
As Jiang Tian continued talking, Yuan Ye couldn't help but hug her again.
"You take good care of yourself too."
That was all Yuan Ye could say; what else could he say?
He no longer had any grounds to say anything to Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian has done enough for him. He is not an ungrateful wretch, nor can he pretend to be deaf and dumb and let Jiang Tian dedicate her life to him.
That's not love.
Before you leave, I only hope you will grant me one request.
Yuan Ye stared intently at Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian looked at him with some curiosity. After a while, she smiled and said, "I can grant you any request, as long as you are willing to let me leave."
"Take the antidote. That's all I ask."
Yuan Ye took out the antidote.
Jiang Tian stared at the antidote for a long time: "I feel like whether I take it or not doesn't really affect me much."
"I still want to live a long time..."
Yuan Ye's voice was choked with emotion.
Jiang Tian nodded with a smile and, under his watchful eye, swallowed the antidote.
"You're right, we should live a few more years."
Yuan Ye lay on the bed, looking at her sideways, and smiled slightly.
"I'll leave the bodyguard with you; he can protect your safety." Yuan Ye thought for a moment, then brought up another matter.
"No, if I'm leaving, I'll leave cleanly and without taking you with me. Do you still want to have any lingering ties with me? If so, where is the freedom I'm seeking? Yuan Ye, don't make things difficult for me."
Another heavy blow.
Yuan Ye remained silent for a very long time; he hadn't expected Jiang Tian to say that.
After a long silence, he managed to say, "So, does that mean I'll never see you again? Will I still be able to visit you?"
"The whole world belongs to you. If you want to find me, I will definitely not be able to escape. But... I don't want our relationship to change in any way. If you marry the Empress and still come to see me from time to time, then what difference is there between me and your mistress? I don't want to be your mistress, nor do I want to be anyone to you. I just want to sever all ties completely."
"So, let's not see each other again. After tonight, you will be you, and I will be me. I will change my name and find a place where no one knows me to live. So don't linger."
There are many women in the world like me, and countless more who are better than me. Yuan Ye, I am not the one for you.
