“Before, I always felt that time was too long, day after day, in the same cycle, watching the sunrise and sunset, without any change.” Yuwen Yao held Xie Lingqin, his chin stroking her soft hair, his voice low and husky as he murmured, “But now, just the first moment I’m with you, I feel that the world is different, the sun and moon have different colors. Xie Lingqin, love is a poison, and you are a poison that is hard to remove from my heart, spreading and expanding, which I cannot cure in this lifetime, cannot cure, do not want to cure, do not wish to cure.”
Xie Lingqin leaned against Yuwen Yao's chest, panting slightly, her fingers twirling a strand of his black hair. She smiled gently, "Alright, then don't untie it. Let me plant it in your heart."
"Our journey is destined to be long, but we will find it sweet."
Xie Lingqin's clear eyes were like water. Suddenly, she raised her hand and stroked Yuwen Yao's forehead. "Yuwen Yao, your words are so sweet that they make people fall in love with you."
It was truly love at first sight.
"However, recently, Li Qingyu has been coming to the Tai Liao residence every day. Although you have not allowed her to enter the residence, Miss Li's intentions are obvious. Don't you have any thoughts about this?"
"I have no idea," Yuwen Yao replied earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin's brows furrowed even more than before. "I say, Your Highness, you really have the heart to take such a beautiful woman to greet you every day."
"Xie Lingqin, if I could give you my heart, you would understand that there is only one person in my heart, and that is you." As Yuwen Yao spoke, he lifted Xie Lingqin's chin and gently touched her cherry lips. "Some people and some things, once they enter your eyes, are gone forever, and no other scenery can be seen."
"Then, if one day, between the imperial power and me, you are forced to make a choice."
Xie Lingqin's voice was as gentle as water, but every word she uttered sounded like a joke.
That's right.
He was the crown prince, but he was not favored. Everyone in the world thought that the emperor did not value him and that he could be deposed at any time. Even though he was a genius and had great ambitions and could plan ahead, the emperor's heart was unfathomable.
But with such great wisdom, and being an imperial prince, did Yuwen Yao not have the world in his heart, not have the throne in his heart, and not have thought about ruling the world?
And she, is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion.
They seemed like a match made in heaven, a perfect couple.
However, she was feared by the emperor, the secret she held posed a danger to the royal family, and was coveted by the world. Her life and death were also being watched by many in the dark.
How much suffering will they endure together...?
Yuwen Yao's gaze rested on Xie Lingqin's shoulder, staring intently at her. "Xie Lingqin, I don't care about imperial power or the world. If it can bring you peace, I'd discard it like trash."
"That's why you need to become emperor. Only when you become emperor can you make your own choices, can you hold power firmly in your hands, and only then can we truly be together."
Xie Lingqin spoke softly, her eyes composed, her expression serene.
His words, however, were enough to unleash a bloodbath upon the world.
Their eyes met, and they understood each other perfectly, for this was the path they had to take.
If you don't want to be oppressed, you must rise up and fight back, and take control of your own destiny.
"Your Highness, Miss Li has arrived again."
At this moment, outside the door, after what seemed like a long pause, Tingfeng quietly reported.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin's gaze sharpened, and she smiled slightly, "Alright, Your Highness, your admirer has arrived."
"not see."
Yuwen Yao said two words indifferently, then looked at Xie Lingqin with a serious expression, "Yu Qingyi has obtained the antidote."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin's eyes lit up. "Young Master Yi is truly capable. He has achieved such speed in just a few days."
"Well, Prince Duanmu Rong of Western Xia did not keep the antidote in his residence. However, it will probably take a few more days before Yu Qingyi returns to the capital on another matter."
Xie Lingqin didn't care. "I'm fine anyway. It's only a few days. Of course I can wait. But, speaking of which, the Emperor said he would bestow a marriage upon me..." Xie Lingqin's face turned cold. "Whether the Emperor is joking or not, if it is true, then there will probably be a storm in the capital."
“Not only the capital, but the entire Beirong, and even the whole country, will be thrown into turmoil.”
Xie Lingqin's expression hardened slightly. "It seems that there are far more people who covet the secret I hold than I imagined."
"Exactly."
"Then, Yuwen Yao, why do you never ask me about the whereabouts of those 50,000 divine soldiers? Everyone in the world wants to know, but you never ask."
Yuwen Yao didn't answer immediately. A slight smile graced his jade-like face, which, when seen by Xie Lingxin, resembled a painting of stars. "I don't want to know," Yuwen Yao said, raising his hand to gently brush away the strands of hair that fell across Xie Lingxin's forehead. "At the same time, I don't want anyone to know, because that way, you'll be safe."
Xie Lingqin's heart skipped a beat, and her thick eyelashes trembled.
"Xie Lingqin, do you know a certain animal?"
"What?"
"Once it has identified its prey, it will never let go unless the prey dies."
You mean an eagle?
“An eagle soaring through the sky.” Yuwen Yao nodded, his eyes like deep pools, his expression gentle, his voice deep and resonant. “But no one knows that, apart from his prey, he is devoted to his mate, sharing life and death, never to be separated even in death.”
Xie Lingqin smiled and said, "I always thought I was a little white rabbit, but it turns out I'm an eagle that will stand shoulder to shoulder with you."
"No matter what it is, I can see you when I look down at heaven and earth."
"Hey, doesn't that mean I can't escape your grasp?" Xie Lingqin was utterly speechless.
