Jiang Yu couldn't see her expression, but hearing these words made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
He wanted to say: Don't live such a hard life. Tell me what you need and I'll do it for you.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
He knows what she's going to do, doesn't he?
Should he let her hatred disrupt his plans?
Jiang Yu was torn with inner turmoil.
At first, he was just curious to know who was the winner between her and Meng Zhixuan.
But through repeated encounters, I lost my heart.
He actually has no regrets.
The only thing I regret is that I met her at the wrong time.
I can't openly keep her by my side.
He reached out, suppressing the pounding in his heart, and touched the mask on her face.
Just like on that night when he was seriously injured, Wei Wei had done the same thing.
Life is short, and we should not refuse the joys that are meant to be.
Jiang Yu looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "That way, when you look back on it a long time from now, you'll feel that the path you've walked was worthwhile."
Wei Wei was startled, and a glint of tears flashed in her eyes.
She just didn't dare.
She feared that if she continued down this path, she would be left with no way out.
If she makes the wrong choice, she will never be able to turn things around.
Jiang Yu did not continue the topic.
He asked, "When do you plan to go to the capital?"
Wei Wei stared intently at him for a long time before finally speaking: "Probably after the New Year."
"Things here are almost done, but there's still a lot of final touches to be made."
She asked him, "What kind of place is the capital city, really?"
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "It's a beautiful sight, but it also hides deadly dangers."
"They are a million times more complicated than the people in Loucheng."
At this point, he added with absolute certainty, "But I know you can handle it with ease."
Wei Wei smiled, pursing her lips; he trusted her completely.
Her gaze shifted, and she asked, "Could you tell me about things in the royal family?"
She saw Jiang Yu pause, and a smile finally appeared on his lips. But there was a hint of complexity in his expression.
"Whose story do you want to hear?" he asked her, his voice still gentle.
It's as if I can listen to whoever I want to listen to as much as I want.
A hint of doubt flashed in Wei Wei's eyes.
But since he's willing to bring it up now, she certainly can't miss this opportunity.
"Third Prince, I want to hear about the Third Prince."
Jiang Yu pursed his lips slightly and said in a low voice, "The Third Prince Jiang Luan is one of the Emperor's most valued sons."
"The royal family has eight sons in total. Apart from the crown prince who passed away two years ago, there are still seven sons alive."
As he said this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "With more princes, there will naturally be more strife."
"Especially after the Crown Prince passed away, and the Imperial Grandson was such an incompetent fellow, the position of Crown Prince remained vacant for a long time."
"This has stirred up the ambitions of those princes who were already in the know."
"They secretly formed cliques and used their power to the fullest extent."
"Among them, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince have the greatest power because their mothers and families are more powerful."
He seemed to remember something, and his aura unconsciously decreased significantly.
"And the Third Prince's biggest source of confidence in coming to Lou City this time is this place."
He found the legendary secret treasure of Tianxue Mountain, fulfilling his ambition to ascend to the heavens.
To achieve this goal, they did not hesitate to create a great uproar in Loucheng.
Wei Wei silently thought of the ending for him.
She didn't know if he succeeded in his previous life, but in this life, it was destined to all be for naught.
He treats all human lives as a joke; he doesn't deserve that position at all!
Jiang Yu gently covered the trembling hand with his own, his voice tender: "Don't be afraid, he won't succeed."
Wei Wei looked into his eyes.
It's all very pure; it's all about caring for her.
But at that moment, all she wanted to do was ask the question that was on her mind.
"Why?"
Jiang Yu's eyelashes fluttered, and a smile that was hard to read appeared at the corner of his mouth: "How can the unrighteous be worthy of the throne?"
Wei Wei's gaze remained fixed on him.
She couldn't believe that after he uttered that outrageous statement, it would be followed by such a nonchalant remark.
Before they could ask any more questions, someone had already stopped not far from them.
Jiang Yu looked in that direction first, and Wei Wei followed suit, looking somewhat unwilling.
It is due to the relocation.
She felt that she had been seeing him far too often lately.
However, Yu Qian might not recognize her now.
Since she was wearing a mask, she couldn't speak.
"Lord Yu."
For a moment, Jiang Yu felt a sense of relief. Facing Wei Wei's eyes, he felt he couldn't keep lying to her.
I've had several impulses to tell her everything she wants to know.
But now is not the time to seize the opportunity.
Once he says it, without enough time for her to untangle the knot in her heart, the subtle connection between them will dissipate.
He didn't want them to break up and had been trying to get closer to each other.
Yu Qian's appearance temporarily relieved him of his predicament, and he was able to get up from the stone slab.
Yu Qian was clearly surprised to see Jiang Yu outside, especially to see him so intimate with a woman wearing his mask.
He felt as if he had witnessed something extraordinary.
Before he could even react and bow, Jiang Yu had already winked at him rapidly.
