Chapter 230 You Never... Never Really Understood Me
The queen died quietly due to illness.
The funeral ceremony provided at least some decency.
A few days later.
The harem welcomed a new master.
Consort Chen undoubtedly became the new queen.
She adopted the princess born to the queen.
Treat them as your own children.
The entire harem couldn't help but praise the new queen—
Kind and kind-hearted.
The emperor was also grateful for Empress Chen's understanding, and for this reason, he visited Empress Chen more often.
Yun Zhao was placed in the queen's back palace, quietly reducing his presence to a low level.
Even if Concubine Yi sent all the imperial physicians in the palace and the Chang family searched for all the famous doctors in the world, it was of no avail.
Her appearance could never return to what it was before, and was even visibly deteriorating day by day.
One day, the emperor passed by and did not recognize that it was Concubine Yi.
It is said that on that day, Concubine Yi knelt in a daze on the long street for the entire night.
When Yun Zhao knew about it, he just smiled faintly.
Men love beauty, but without it, it's just like this.
Mu Chengyan wrote to her: "Whether Yun Zhao is beautiful or ugly, I am happy with her."
Yun Zhao smiled and put the letter under his pillow, hoping that Mu Chengyan would return soon.
During that time, Xie Jingmo was very busy and waited until everything was free.
Once, at the foot of the imperial city wall, Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao from afar.
Yun Zhao didn't avoid or give way, just walked over, and the two stood opposite each other. Yun Zhao brushed his body and said politely, "Thank you, General."
After saying that, he took a step to leave.
There is no coldness as before, nor is there any alienation underneath the emotions. It is like a basic question mark between strangers, without even a trace of basic joy or anger.
Xie Jingmo was stunned for a long time. He looked at Yun Zhao's back as he turned and left. He didn't understand how he and Yun Zhao had come to this point.
A few days later.
The emperor held a banquet, and at the banquet, Xie Jingmo subconsciously looked for Yun Zhao.
But no one showed up, so Empress Chen smiled and casually said, "Yun Zhao has been ill due to a cold at night recently. She has been ill for a while and has not recovered. She is unwilling to go out."
The emperor had just gotten a new beauty at that time, so he waved his hand and pretended to have heard it.
Xie Jingmo's hand holding the water cup trembled after hearing this.
Afterwards, Zai An couldn't help but stood up and left the banquet.
The winter wind was cold, and Yun Zhao stood under the plum branches, wearing a snow-white shawl and smiling like the most delicate rose in winter.
Xie Jingmo saw Yun Zhao first, but after walking through the archway he discovered that there was not just Yun Zhao inside.
Under the moonlight, Yun Zhao's fair and tender face showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time. She raised her slender hands and considerately tied the shawl for the person opposite her.
Yun Zhao spoke in a low voice.
But Xie Jingmo still heard it clearly, "When will you be back?"
The man's voice was unparalleled and handsome, and with a faint smile, he said, "One month at most."
Yun Zhao nodded, his cheeks slightly red. "Then be careful on the road and don't rush back and forth like this."
The man seemed unable to bear it, raised his hands and hugged the person in his arms, and said with a suppressed smile, "I missed you."
At that moment, Xie Jingmo's blood stopped flowing. He could never have imagined that Yun Zhao and Mu Chengyan had reached this point.
He heard Mu Chengyan say solemnly, as if he couldn't control his longing, "Yun Zhao, I miss you so much."
Yun Zhao smiled and tilted his head back.
Mu Chengyan stared at Yun Zhao's bright eyes, lowered his head devoutly, and kissed him.
At that moment, Xie Jingmo's world collapsed!
He stood there, and it seemed as if his blood was flowing backwards!
That's his Yun Zhao!
She's his woman!
It was the woman who had been with him for seven years!
But now she is smiling gently in someone else's arms!
And what do they say?
Wait for Mu Chengyan to come back and then leave? !
Xie Jingmo clenched his fists tightly, his body shaking violently with anger!
Mu Chengyan also kissed Yun Zhao!
This is intolerable!
Xie Jingmo clenched his fists and was about to rush over when someone outside called out Mu Chengyan.
Mu Chengyan lowered his head and whispered to Yun Zhao, "I have to go. Wait for me to come back."
Yun Zhao nodded, and the two hugged each other, and only separated reluctantly after a long time.
Yun Zhao watched Mu Chengyan leave home, when suddenly, he heard heavy footsteps behind him.
Yun Zhao turned around and saw Xie Jingmo standing in the dark at some point in time.
Yun Zhao frowned slightly.
But it soon loosened.
"Do you have anything to explain?"
Yun Zhao was about to leave, and Xie Jingmo immediately followed.
"There's nothing to explain. Didn't you see it all?"
Xie Jingmo couldn't contain his rage for even a second. He grabbed Yun Zhao's arm and almost roared, "I saw it! I saw everything, Yun Zhao, you dare to betray me! How dare you!"
"You even let Muchengyan kiss you!"
As Xie Jingmo spoke, his eyes bloodshot, he pulled the person into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her, trying to cover the warmth left by Mu Chengyan with his kiss.
But he just lowered his head and moved closer.
"Pa!" A slap landed heavily on the face.
The sound is very loud.
Extremely strong force!
"Shameless!" Yun Zhao frowned.
Xie Jingmo's head tilted to one side and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He was quiet for a long time.
After a long time, he turned his head and stared at the person in front of him.
"You are not my Yun Zhao."
"My Yun Zhao would never do this to me, let alone attack me!"
That was the person who had accompanied him at the frontier for seven years, but now, she attacked him for another man?
"If Mu Chengyan can do it to you, why can't I?!"
Xie Jingmo was extremely angry. He pressed Yun Zhao into his arms. His uncontrolled anger made his eyes turn blood red.
"What else did you let him do to you?"
"Are you guys asleep?"
"Yes or no!"
As he said that, Xie Jingmo started to tear off Yun Zhao's clothes. Yun Zhao was furious and raised his hand high, and slapped him again!
"Xie Jingmo! Wake up!"
Yun Zhao pushed Xie Jingmo away fiercely. After she stood firm, she looked at him coldly, "No one will stand here waiting for you forever, understand?!"
"I don't like you, I haven't liked you for a long time, don't you understand?"
Xie Jingmo clenched his fists, lowered his head, and asked coldly, "When did it start?"
Yun Zhao said coldly, "From the exchange of the five thousand armors, from Yun Meng's death, or even before that, even before that, when my sincerity was not reciprocated, I have gradually withdrawn my love for you, but you never noticed."
Xie Jingmo was shocked when he heard this.
Yun Zhao said, "I can foolishly love someone for a long time, but if the other person is not worthy, I will withdraw in time. Xie Jingmo, I am silly, but not stupid. I accept everything I have paid. I will not continue to invest the cost of silence for what I have already paid. I have the capital to give, so I have the courage to take back the good things."
"Xie Jingmo, you never... never really understood me."
