Chapter 107 Infiltration (6)
Indeed, after learning about Yin Yin's plan, Xiuying was really shocked. On the one hand, she hoped so, but on the other hand, she had not forgotten Zhao Ziheng's instructions. This made Xiuying feel embarrassed and also worried about the matter between Yin Yin and Zhao Ziheng. She knew the reason why Zhao Ziheng avoided Yin Yin, and knew that Yin Yin really wanted to see Zhao Ziheng. This meeting would definitely bring unprecedented changes between them. However, it was all because of bad luck and the wrong timing. Before this, Xiuying would be happy for Zhao Ziheng for Yin Yin's behavior, but now, Xiuying can only learn to endure like Zhao Ziheng.
"Please."
When Xiuying was looking at Yinyin in silence, Yinyin said something in a pleading tone, and this sentence made Xiuying's heart hurt like being pricked by a needle. She looked at Yinyin with a sad look, and looking at Yinyin's pleading eyes, Xiuying felt heartbroken; sometimes Xiuying really didn't understand why two people in love had to suffer so much, they should obviously be able to be together, but they had to be so tortuous, she had never experienced it, so she couldn't understand it, but every time, Xiuying could feel the pain from Zhao Ziheng and Yinyin, Zhao Ziheng's helplessness, Yinyin's torture, the source of all this could not escape the fate of being bound, the fate they could not escape, if they were just ordinary people, perhaps they would have lived a life like a fairy couple, but the reality was tortuous, they had to suffer the torture of people in love who could not easily be together.
“Help me, Sooyoung.”
Because of her intuition and her desire to see him, Yinyin put aside all her dignity and pleaded with Xiuying. The more she looked at Xiuying's changing gaze, the more Yinyin could not control her desire to see Zhao Ziheng.
Yinyin's plea reminded Xiuying of Zhao Ziheng's instructions. One wanted to see her and the other didn't. One was looking for her and the other was escaping. These were completely opposite choices. Xiuying only knew that the only thing in common was that they cared about each other. Xiuying could understand Zhao Ziheng's approach, but Yinyin's change made her wonder whether to be happy or sad. She stared at Yinyin in a daze without saying a word.
“Please—”
At this time, Yinyin's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were misty. Xiuying's heart slowed down instantly, and she struggled to move her lips and said slowly: "I'll help you."
After finally hearing Xiuying's answer, Yinyin could no longer hold back her excitement. Tears welled up in her eyes and her vision suddenly became blurred. She didn't know what words to use to describe her feelings at the moment. She was speechless in front of Xiuying, as if her long-cherished wish was finally about to come true.
Xiuying was moved by Yinyin's piety and tears. She didn't know whether her choice at this moment was right or wrong. She only knew that she couldn't bear to see Yinyin in front of her. The bitterness in her heart burst out at this moment, and tears silently slid down her face because she saw Yinyin burst into tears the moment she agreed, which made her sad. Xiuying sincerely hoped that this meeting would bring a good change to Yinyin and Zhao Ziheng. No matter whether it was Zhao Ziheng or Yinyin, Xiuying felt that she could no longer bear their pain. Every time she came into contact with them, her heart would hurt more. At the same time, she also understood that true love is hard-earned.
As the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet approached, the [Holy City] became more and more lively, with wealthy businessmen and envoys from various countries gathering in an endless stream. Although the world was still in a state of chaos, the scale was gradually reduced, and although Zhao Ziheng did not declare or invite guests from various countries to participate, there were still a lot of people coming. The already bustling [Holy City] became even more lively, and the guests who came from all directions naturally became the focus. Due to the strength of the Zhao State, those who came to congratulate were either rich or noble, and there were many representatives of the royal family.
The day before the birthday banquet, the [Holy City] welcomed a distinguished guest who came from afar. The court even sent high-ranking officials to welcome him and the imperial guards to escort him. When the distinguished guest arrived, cheers broke out in the [Holy City]. Of course, the people were proud that the king of a country came from afar, which proved the prosperity of their country. For this, the people of the [Holy City] were all proud.
In the magnificent and large sedan in the moving procession, Dongfang Yan looked at the crowds coming from all directions to join in the fun and waved to them with a smile on his face. He was surprised that the Holy City was more prosperous than he had imagined and heard about, and the people's enthusiasm. Just from the surface, Dongfang Yan could see that Zhao Ziheng was good at governing the country, and it was not difficult to see that the people supported the young monarch. For this reason, Dongfang Yan turned his head to look at a carriage behind him, with an inscrutable smile on his face.
At the back of the crowd, a woman in red with a veil covering half of her face looked through the crowd in front of her at Dongfang Yan, who was waving . From under the veil, one could faintly see a strange arc on the corner of her lips. After just one glance, she turned around and left surrounded by several of her colleagues. With her back to the crowd, the smile in her eyes became increasingly strange and seductive. Although the veil concealed her appearance, it could not hide the dangerous aura emanating from her eyes. She was not mysterious, because one could recognize her identity just by looking at her eyes. She had an ethereal and ethereal name, which was not unfamiliar to her memory: Huanling, this was her name...
