Yun Chuwei looked at Xie Xuan and nodded seriously: "You do need to give me an explanation!"
Xie Xuan tightened his grip on Yun Chuwei's sleeve, about to speak, but was stopped by Yun Chuwei.
"Let's get on the carriage and talk, I'm going to be late!"
Xie Xuan also knew that Yun Chuwei was on duty at the Star Gazing Platform, so he nodded.
The two sat facing each other in the carriage without saying a word.
After what seemed like an eternity, Xie Xuan finally spoke: "That day, the day I took you to the rapeseed field, was the day you saved me there. Do you know that?"
Yun Chuwei tilted her head slightly and said slowly, "Who would remember which day that was?"
Xie Xuan frowned and said earnestly, "I will remember!"
He knew she wouldn't remember, but he did!
Because if he hadn't met her that day, he might have died.
Yun Chuwei remained silent for a moment before saying, "But I remember saving someone, I just didn't expect it to be you! We were both in the rapeseed field that day, why didn't you say anything?"
She felt that he must have wanted to tell her this by taking her to the rapeseed field, right?
Xie Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Because I discovered that the Crown Prince took Yun Lianhua to the rapeseed field. I think he must have mistaken his savior for someone else! If he refused the marriage because he mistook his savior for someone else, then if he knew that person was you, perhaps he would come back to you! I don't want that to happen... so I plan to keep this to myself..."
Yun Chuwei said coolly, "You're quite honest. If the Crown Prince hadn't revealed that Yun Lianhua was his savior, would you have kept it from me your whole life?"
Xie Xuan lowered his head and remained silent.
Since the decision was made to keep it a secret, it was meant to be kept secret for life. Who knew that the Crown Prince would cause such a scene?
Thinking that Yun Chuwei might be angry about this, he said softly, "I'm sorry! I... I'll tell His Highness the Crown Prince about this. If he finds out, his attitude towards you will definitely change..."
Yun Chuwei said with a hint of disdain, "Why would I need him to change his attitude towards me? Just to disgust me?"
Xie Xuan suddenly looked up at Yun Chuwei and asked, "You...you don't like the Crown Prince? Aren't you angry?"
Yun Chuwei looked at Xie Xuan and slowly said, "First, I don't like the Crown Prince. Second, I'm not unhappy because you kept it from me; telling me or not is your choice. But..."
Xie Xuan was in a good mood because of Yun Chuwei's first and second points.
But hearing Yun Chuwei's "but" made my heartstrings tighten again.
He asked in a low voice, "But?"
“You know perfectly well that I saved you, yet you want to kill me because of a dream! Xie Xuan, you…” Yun Chuwei stopped speaking here.
She brought up this incident in an attempt to awaken Xie Xuan's guilt and completely pull him into her camp.
She wanted to call him heartless and demand compensation from him.
However, recalling Xie Xuan's experiences in her previous life, she was speechless.
After evidence of the crime against Emperor Tianqi was found in Xie Xuan's residence, various forces began pressuring him.
Unable to see the Tianqi Emperor and unable to voice his grievances, he could only rise up in rebellion.
This further confirmed his intention to rebel, and various forces launched a counterattack, especially the army under the Tianqi Emperor, which directly surrounded the Xuanwang Mansion.
That night, blood filled the Xuanwang Mansion, and in the end, everyone connected to the Xuanwang died.
She tried to stop it, but the Tianqi Emperor refused.
Emperor Tianqi simply told her to stay.
Even though she was by Emperor Tianqi's side, far from the massacre, she could still feel the cruelty of the massacre and the despair of Prince Xuan's mansion.
As a witness to that massacre and even lost his life in it, how could Xie Xuan possibly remain rational?
Xie Xuan's thin lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He knew she had saved him and had cherished her in his heart for many years.
However, it was the false evidence found by the two people beside her that led to the extermination of the entire Xuanwang family.
One by one, all the people he knew fell to the ground, their blood flowing like a river.
Finally, he too collapsed amidst the blood.
He thought he was going to die.
However, he did not die.
He was revived.
He hated that he hadn't died, yet he knew that only by living could he avenge himself.
For the next two or three years, he struggled bitterly in that dark, hellish place.
What kept him alive was the desire to kill Yun Chuwei and avenge himself.
He hadn't forgotten that she had saved him, nor had he forgotten how he liked her, but none of that could cover up his hatred.
When he was reborn, all he wanted to do was kill her.
later……
He couldn't tell whether he liked her more or hated her more.
Did he really believe her when she said she wouldn't harm him?
Perhaps it's just that they know it's fake, but they still cling to unrealistic fantasies.
"Stop the carriage!" he suddenly called out, bringing the carriage to a halt.
He didn't speak, nor did he look at Yun Chuwei. He lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.
Xie Xuan stood on the street, watching the carriage drive away. He lowered his head, raised his hand, pressed it against his chest, and whispered in a voice only he could hear, "Xie Xuan, what exactly do you want?"
Yun Chuwei sat blankly in the carriage until it had traveled some distance before she lifted the curtain.
She saw Xie Xuan standing by the roadside, the setting sun casting a long shadow of him. He hung his head, looking forlorn.
There seemed to be boundless loneliness hidden in that figure.
She always felt that things weren't so simple.
"Xie Xuan, what else have you been through?" She even had a momentary impulse to have Xie Xuan's past and present lives divined.
But she also knew that this was taboo.
If she actually figured out something, she would probably suffer an even more severe backlash.
She didn't want to die, at least not before Xie Sheng.
Yun Chuwei only lowered the curtain after Xie Xuan's figure disappeared into the distance.
When she entered the observatory, she saw Li Zhengkui, the director of the Imperial Observatory.
Li Zhengkui was intently observing Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei was puzzled, but she didn't show it.
After bowing to Li Zhengkui, she asked, "What brings you here, Lord Li?"
Li Zhengkui thought to himself, "Can't he just not come?"
That day, His Majesty summoned him and immediately began to berate him.
He stood there listening for a long time before he finally understood what His Majesty meant.
The reason he was scolded was because Yun Chuwei's stargazing log was not delivered to His Majesty.
The problem is, he didn't see the log either.
He was scolded for an hour before being released.
When he returned, he summoned the people from the observatory and cursed them for half an hour.
Later, he finally obtained Yun Chuwei's stargazing log.
At that moment, he realized that he hadn't been wronged by the scolding!
Even if he obtained the records for that day in advance, he dared not present them to His Majesty.
Because Yun Chuwei wrote her stargazing log in far too much detail, far too clearly, and far too decisively!
Li Zhengkui looked at Yun Chuwei and asked skeptically, "Miss Yun, have you really studied stargazing?"
