Chapter 81 Enlightenment

Yun Zhuan has always kept his ability to eavesdrop on people's thoughts very well hidden.

And he has been using this method to test Bai Ye's heart.

It is exactly the same conclusion as Yun Zhuan's.

What Bai Ye was thinking in his heart was not much different from what he said to Yun Zhuan.

This made Yun Zhuan doubt the authenticity of this matter.

What if, is it possible...

Bai Ye did not lie to her, and everything he told her was true?

The Nanzhao Kingdom did exist, and its history was just as Bai Ye said, because there were powerful enemies outside and treacherous people inside.

With such doubts, Yun Zhenan put the amulet for Yun Fuzhi in a brocade bag and handed it to him when he left.

Yun Fuzhi nodded, and rubbed her head as he always did to Yun Zhuan.

Then he packed his bags and walked out of Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

Only Yun Zhuan cares about this matter, and the others who care about it have not returned yet.

Stepping out of this door means that Yun Fuzhi has thrown all his future and glory behind him and is fighting for his own freedom.

"Your Highness, you are very smart." Bai Ye looked at Yun Zhuan with an understanding look in his eyes. "Your Highness, are you trying to pry into my heart?"

Yun Zhuan's hands trembled: "I don't know what you mean, sir?"

She has indeed been constantly testing Bai Ye's heart these days.

She has always been very cautious towards people whose background she doesn't know.

After being in the same place for two or three days, I finally let my guard down a little today.

But Bai Ye was a very smart man and he actually discovered it.

"In the past few days, Your Highness seems to have frequently touched my skin under various excuses, such as asking me to teach you calligraphy or reading. I wonder what he means?" Bai Ye had a half-smile on his face, making it hard to figure out.

"Moreover, His Highness seems to have gradually put his mind at ease with me. I don't believe that His Highness, who is so cautious, does this because he trusts me."

"So I guess that Your Highness must have some means to see into my heart."

What he said was well-reasoned and Yun Ju'an couldn't find any loopholes in it.

Every word of his guess made sense.

Before that, there was another person whose inner thoughts she couldn't understand, Yun Fuzhi.

When Yun Zhuan felt that there would be no more accidents, Bai Ye actually asked calmly.

There wasn't even a tone of questioning in his voice; from beginning to end it seemed as if a righteous elder was advising a young man who had gone astray to turn back.

However, there is one thing Yun Zhuan can be sure of.

Bai Ye would never deceive her, let alone betray her.

If she was really the Crown Princess he mentioned.

"Yes, I do have the ability to read people's minds, but the prerequisite is that I need to touch people and there must be no obstructions. For example, if my hand touches your hand, this ability will be generated." Yun Ju'an did not look embarrassed, but admired Bai Ye very much. "I got this ability one day, and with the help of this ability, I can better interpret other people's expressions."

Even try to understand people's hearts, rather than just relying on superficial words.

The more this happened, the more Yun Zhuan was unwilling to use his abilities.

Mind reading always reminds her that she has lived a lifetime, and she dares not tell anyone else about this secret.

With such ability, I'm afraid others will think I'm a monster.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I won't mention this to anyone." Bai Ye whispered, "Also, I can tell you that the Nanzhao royal family has different abilities in every generation, and this ability has gradually disappeared since a hundred years ago."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. This is a gift from heaven to Nanzhao."

The air was stagnant for a moment, and Yun Zhuan could only hear the wind in his ears, and how many autumn leaves were falling.

It was not until Yun Zhuan took a deep breath that he finally struggled out of the cold wind.

Bai Ye was tall and slender. In order not to bring pressure to Yun Ju'an, he paused slightly and sat down. Yun Ju'an also sat down as if he had been pardoned.

When the two looked at each other straight in the eye, Yun Zhuan felt much more at ease.

"Your Highness's great-grandmother once retained a little bit of this ability, until she married an emperor, when this ability gradually faded." Bai Ye dipped a little tea and wrote two words on the stone table - "emotion".

"Your great-grandmother's ability is emotion. She was born with a strong sense for words, and her whole personality is gentle. This does not mean that she has no ability to govern the country. On the contrary, she used her political tactics very well. With this ability, she was able to win over the court officials and the harem." Bai Ye explained, "Of course, many children of noble families would mistake their admiration for love."

"So I am more willing to go through fire and water."

Bai Ye gave a faint smile and poured a cup of tea for Yun Zhuan.

Yun Zhuan pursed her lips. This kind of ability was unimaginable. It took a very extreme grasp of emotions to make all the handsome men in the harem fall in love with her so deeply and to make the previous dynasty loyal to her enough.

A maple leaf fell on the stone table. Bai Ye twisted the maple leaf with his slender fingers:

"Today, I will teach your Highness a lesson."

"The veins of the maple leaves are obvious. The situation in the Yuan Kingdom is more complicated than these branches and leaves. However, you have lived in the palace for a period of time. To you, the imperial power is just like this. He only achieved the checks and balances on the surface, and countless people are willing to govern the country for him and work sincerely."

"But you also pointed out that it was because he did not know his subjects well enough that General Yun Huai was sacrificed. If he had noticed earlier that Dongyi did not know the situation of Yuan State, General Yun Huai might have been on his way back with Marquis Wu'an."

Bai Ye walked at a leisurely pace, as if he didn't care whether Yun Zhuan would be grateful or sad. He dipped his tea again and wrote two more words on the table:

"If Your Highness wants to achieve great things, you must first do these two words."

Yun Zhuan raised his eyes and looked over.

Careless.

Having emotions but no heart will allow you to make decisions that are both rational and will not make people feel cold.

"Do you know Princess Yuan Qi?" Yun Ju'an asked suddenly, "You are very clever and you even know about my life in the Yuan Palace."

She hated being watched the most in her life, but the means and efforts this man had put in to find her far exceeded the chess game she had played in the Yuan Dynasty's harem.

Bai Ye said, "No, I followed the trail all the way to the Yuan Kingdom, and escaped countless assassinations with my martial arts. I did this just to give an explanation to the people of Nanzhao and the late emperor."

"There is a secret guard in Nanzhao who exists only to serve the true emperor of Nanzhao for his entire life. His name is Yashachu."

"Your Highness, you are the last hope of the royal family."

Yun Zhuan raised his eyes and met Bai Ye's gentle eyes. He said:

"Your Highness, I will always stay by your side until you take back everything that originally belonged to you."

Yun Zhuan lowered his eyes and clenched his fingers.

Times make heroes, hesitation will lead to defeat.

Start working

Yun Zhuan: I just want to be rotten
