Chapter 564 Crossing the Line
These powerful people wanted to crush her pride bit by bit and break her down from within.
Inexplicably, Yan Heqing's heart was filled with waves, but before he softened his heart, he turned and left.
But this incident had a huge impact on him.
Just like when Princess Yizhen wrinkled his sleeves, no matter how he smoothed them out, a mark was left.
But Yizhen's identity is not simple, and she is also concerned about Emperor Jing'an.
He couldn't rescue the brother and sister without anyone noticing.
After all, he is not alone, and behind him stand his subordinates who are willing to follow him to the death.
A single move can affect the entire body, and the entire army will be destroyed if you are not careful.
Only then did he understand the meaning of Master Xuqing's words. It was not just that his excessive contact with Princess Yizhen would make the people of Northern Qi suspicious of his identity and then find out his true life experience.
And her perseverance and pride inevitably made him feel sympathetic.
But he didn't have the ability to help her out of her suffering.
It was as if he was lurking beside his enemy but unable to kill him immediately, feeling powerless.
Later, Chu Mingyuan confided his thoughts to him about how to make Princess Yizhen willingly enter the Prince's Mansion.
He heard the impatience in Chu Mingyuan's words. It was obvious that Chu Mingyuan had run out of patience with Princess Yizhen.
Based on his understanding of Chu Mingyuan, if Princess Yizhen still cannot fulfill Chu Mingyuan's wish, he will probably take her by force.
The brother and sister were completely powerless to resist.
Because they were abandoned children of the Great Zhou, without the protection of their motherland, the people of Northern Qi would not treat them as human beings at all. If the Emperor of the Great Zhou cared about these two children, how could these powerful people dare to bully them?
I’m afraid that this pair of siblings will never be able to return to their motherland until they die.
So, he took advantage of the situation and asked Chu Mingyuan to send Emperor Jing'an back to Da Zhou in exchange for Princess Yizhen's admission into the mansion.
As long as Emperor Jing'an returns to the Great Zhou and ascends the throne, he can bring Princess Yizhen back to the Great Zhou.
Princess Yizhen was protected by Chu Mingyuan, and these powerful people did not dare to humiliate her again.
Everything was going as he expected.
Emperor Jing'an returned safely to the Great Zhou.
Princess Yizhen also entered the Prince's Mansion.
Everything is back on track.
The only difference was that from then on, Princess Yizhen pretended that she had never known him.
When the two of them inevitably met, she would call out, "Lord Yan."
Until that day, he blocked three cups of wine for Chu Mingyuan and took the carriage back to the Prince's Mansion first. Halfway through the journey, he felt dry mouth and tongue, as if there was a ball of fire burning in his stomach, burning his mind gradually.
He immediately asked Yan Yi to drive the carriage to the Prince's Mansion via the back door to avoid being seen in such a disgraceful state. But as soon as the carriage stopped at the back door and he stepped through it, he saw Yizhen running towards him in a panic.
Her steps were unsteady, her cheeks were abnormally flushed, and her expression was panic-stricken.
The next moment, he saw a man dressed as a groom chasing after him.
He immediately understood what was going on and ordered Yan Yi to tie up the coachman. Then he grabbed Yizhen's arm and went out through the back door, and they took a carriage to one of his private residences.
Yizhen's mind gradually became unclear. When she saw that the person who took her away was Yan Heqing, the heart that had been hanging in her throat settled down.
In her heart, he was the only person who had no intentions towards her and would never hurt her.
The carriage was too narrow and cramped. Yizhen felt palpitations and shortness of breath, and cried out in a daze, "It's hot."
He still had a shred of rationality left in him, and tried his best to ignore her heavy, subdued breathing. It was incredibly tempting to him, like the seductive chanting of a mountain spirit, difficult to resist.
I just felt that the space in the car was more narrow, stuffy and humid than before, so much so that sweat stuck to my body.
In the silence, only the restrained breathing and heartbeats of the two people could be heard.
His sanity was about to collapse, so he closed his eyes and kept reciting the Heart Purification Mantra in his mind.
However, when he closed his eyes, his five senses became clearer.
Her rapid breathing, her uncomfortable moans, and the rustling of clothes were all amplified several times.
The blue veins on his forehead were clearly visible, and hot sweat was sliding down his forehead.
Unable to bear it any longer, he opened his eyes and a small piece of white skin caught his eye.
Yan Heqing held her hands to stop her from tearing her clothes.
When he touched her hand, it was so hot, even much hotter than his body temperature. He should have rejected her, but he greedily wanted to pull her into his arms.
Reason told him to let go, but his grip only tightened.
His mind told him to run away, but his body was getting closer and closer to her.
Until the two people's hot breaths fell on each other's faces, and at the moment when reason was about to return, a pair of hands climbed up his neck, pulled him down, and fell into a warm dream.
The moment they woke up from the dream, they were all in a mess and found it difficult to face the chaotic situation after crossing the line.
Yizhen's face was pale, and there was no trace of blood on her lips.
He understood Yizhen's personality. Even though she didn't love Chu Mingyuan and didn't have a formal status, she was still Chu Mingyuan's woman.
Now, she has done something immoral.
I'm afraid she will find it hard to accept this fact.
"What happened yesterday was not what we both wanted, but the mistake has been made. I will give you an explanation for what happened yesterday." Yan Heqing was the last person to hurt Yizhen, but he was the one who hurt her the most. "Or, is there anything you need me to do?"
He was met with silence.
Just when he thought he would not get a response, he heard Yizhen say softly: "Yan Heqing, there is no difference between you and me. We are both destined to be together."
Hearing this, his expression became solemn.
Yizhen turned and looked at him: "What can you explain to me? Or, what can you do for me?"
Before he could speak, Yizhen shook her head: "I was wrong, you have done enough for me."
As she spoke, she counted on her fingers: "My brother and I were bullied and injured all over, and almost every time we met the free doctor. I know it's not that my brother and I are lucky, but that someone is helping us behind the scenes."
"I fell into a lotus pond while attending a banquet and nearly drowned. Someone jumped into the water and saved my life."
"The clothes I was washing were damaged by those people. I went to apologize to the customers and hoped they would give me some time so I could earn money to compensate them. Strangely, they were all generous and didn't ask me to pay. It was only at the end that a customer let it slip and said someone had paid me back."
"When I was framed, someone came forward with evidence to clear my name. And..."
She didn't know what she was thinking of, and suddenly she couldn't continue. Her voice became a little softer: "Too many things, I can't count them all at once. You did all these, right? Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else."
"You are someone the Crown Prince relies on. It would be too easy for you to protect me from being bullied. But you didn't do that. It means you have your own reasons and cannot get involved with me, a princess from another country."
"You can't give me an explanation, and you can't help me with what I want to do."
Finally, she said, "Yan Heqing, innocence is just a very small thing to me. I have more important things to do. You don't have to worry that I will commit suicide because of this."
