Huo Zhan came to see Yin Jiu Niang.
Yin Jiuniang took him to her courtyard.
He left after saying those words last time, and although he didn't show up for several days afterward, Yin Jiuniang knew that he would come looking for her sooner or later.
Fortunately, Shi Yan has arrived, and she knows that Shi Wuxia is on Ye Zhen's side, so Huo Zhan doesn't dare to use Ye Zhen to blackmail her.
Last time, he deliberately scared her.
Huo Zhan knew that his words had been seen through.
Although he didn't know Shi Yan would come, he couldn't do anything to her precious darling for Yin Jiu Niang's sake. He was just trying to scare her when he was angry last time.
He wanted Yin Jiuniang's love, not her hatred.
He'd only earn Ye Zhen's hatred if he hurt her; he wasn't that foolish.
Thinking about it these past few days, it seems that he really is as Xie Bang said, not good at expressing himself.
Therefore, today, he wants to have an open and honest talk with Yin Jiuniang.
"Ye Zhen now has Shi Yan and the Great Wei behind her, so you don't need to worry about her anymore, Jiu Niang, come back to my side."
Yin Jiuniang then asked him, "Did you know I was going to steal intelligence?"
Huo Zhan laughed, "From the second year you came to my side, I knew you were here to kill me."
After taking you as my concubine, I discovered that you wanted more than just to kill me.
Despite her suspicions, Yin Jiuniang's heart still clenched when she heard him admit it.
Why don't you expose me?
They even allowed her to steal secrets.
"have no idea."
Huo Zhan looked at her and said, "At first, I was probably blinded by a ghost. Later, I was reluctant to let you leave. Then I saw that you were unhappy. The lives of ordinary people were becoming more and more difficult due to the war, and I was also tired of the endless war."
He decided to listen to Xie Bang, swallow his pride, and explain properly.
“Ninth Sister, at first I sent the Shadow Guards to find you, not to capture you and take you back. I just hoped to see you one last time before I died, and to hope that you would shed a tear for me.”
But I was angry that you didn't want to come, and it was then that I realized I couldn't let go at all.
I don't want to die, I want to live with you, but I didn't know you were pregnant. If I had known... if I had known..."
He sighed. "I'm sorry, but if I had known, I would still have taken you back."
Yin Jiuniang tightened her grip under her sleeve. "Go now, and don't come back again."
She won't go back with him.
Huo Zhan didn't move. "Ninth Sister, I know you're vying for power with your brother in the Xuan Yin Pavilion. You're doing this to help Ye Zhen."
If you become the Empress of Dongwu, the entire Dongwu power will be at your disposal. Wouldn't that be more advantageous than the Xuan Yin Pavilion?
Yin Jiuniang returned to Xuanyin Pavilion for this very purpose.
but.
"Ye Zhen now has the Great Wei, and Li Heng's defeat is inevitable. She can do without me as her master."
She was a spy for Da Yuan, the one who caused Dong Wu's great defeat. How could she possibly be accepted by the people of Dong Wu?
Even if Huo Zhan insists on his own way and forces the people to accept her, it will eventually cause public resentment.
Yin Jiuniang did not consider herself a person of great righteousness, but she believed that since Huo Zhan had become emperor, he should shoulder the responsibilities of an emperor.
There's no need to focus your attention on her anymore.
Huo Zhan was not discouraged. "Who would complain about having more help? If your descendants inherit the country in the future, Dongwu will surely be able to continue the peaceful coexistence with Dayuan."
He approached Yin Jiuniang and pulled her into his arms. "Jiuniang, I am forty years old and have no more children. There will be no one to inherit the throne."
Their family really does have a royal heir now.
Yin Jiuniang did not struggle this time, but her heart trembled uncontrollably.
The shame and embarrassment of the past flooded back to me.
He had meticulously examined every inch of her skin. At night, he would blow out the lamps, and during the day, he would indulge in debauchery. Whenever he wanted, he would pin her down.
At first, she wanted his life and information about Dongwu. She suppressed the humiliation in her heart and cooperated with his manipulation.
But at some point, she suddenly wanted to be more presentable in front of him, instead of being teased and defiled by him.
At that moment, she realized that she had developed feelings she shouldn't have.
With things having started like that, how could they possibly have a future?
There's no need to explain these things to him; he wouldn't understand anyway.
But then Huo Zhan's gentle voice rang in her ears, "Ninth Sister, I'm not young anymore, I don't know anything about sweet talk, and I didn't do it well before either."
But intimacy with you isn't what you think. A man possessing a woman isn't necessarily because of love, but a man constantly wanting to sleep with a woman is definitely in love.
"Ninth Sister, I love you, and that's why I wanted to be intimate with you. I was rude, but I never meant to humiliate you."
In the past, Yin Jiuniang had protested to him, but at that time he only thought she was foolish. He was not a lustful person, and for so many years before she appeared, he had no woman by his side.
He wanted to touch her because of love, and he thought that she would understand in time.
Back then, he couldn't say the word "love," but now that he can, it's not so hard.
Once you start talking, things become much easier.
“I took you as my concubine not because I looked down on you. I thought you didn’t want to be my wife. At that time, the two countries were at war, and it would be difficult for the matriarch of the Huo family to return to Dayuan, but the concubine of the Huo family could.”
I was such a fool, so stupid and clueless about women's feelings. Back then, I thought I could let go when you left, but I couldn't.
"Ninth Sister, you can only be mine in this life, and I will only marry you."
He thought for a moment, wondering if there was anything else he wanted to add.
I remembered what Yin Jiuniang had said about her cousin last time. "There's nothing to do with marrying my cousin. My mother has never mentioned anything like that to me. Don't listen to people's nonsense."
Having been together for many years, and as his concubine for two, Yin Jiuniang had never heard him explain so softly and patiently.
She even suspected that Huo Zhan might be possessed by a ghost.
