Chapter 17: First Night (3)
——In the study——
"Tell me everything clearly!"
"Your Majesty, the queen is already very weak. If she has a miscarriage, it is very likely that she will suffer from heart failure and exhaustion. By then, she may even lose her life..."
"Okay, get out!"
Before the imperial physician finished speaking, Zhou Yan could guess that he knew Yin Yin's physical condition. Her physical condition was gradually declining, leading to mental weakness. A tough approach would only push Yin Yin into the abyss of death. But when he thought of Yin Yin carrying someone else's child, he couldn't suppress his anger...
——More than ten days later——
The news that Zhou Yan will marry Princess Qinglian of Xia State has spread to all countries. The princess of Xia State has also arrived in Zhou State. When the wedding is about to take place...
【Prince Jing’s Mansion】Fengzhu Garden.
"Why is my sister always looking so sad these days?"
Han Ji came to visit Yin Yin as usual, but her questions were not answered...
"What's wrong? If you have anything on your mind, why don't you tell me?"
After spending so many days together, how could Han Ji not know that Yin Yin was worried? It was written on her face...
“…I don’t want to stay here!”
Han Ji understood Yin Yin's meaning, but she felt helpless and powerless to do anything!
"I have my own life. I don't want to be tied down here for the rest of my life. I still have things I want to do!!"
She lived like a puppet every day, and the invisible shackles made it difficult for her to breathe. Although Zhou Yan had not come to see her since the last time he fainted, it was because of this that she found herself again. She wanted to escape from this suffocating space as soon as possible, wanted to escape from this place, wanted to go to a place where no one was there, wanted to go to the person she loved the most...
"you--"
"Help me, Sister Han Ji, help me——"
Yinyin suddenly cried and asked Han Ji for help, because apart from Han Ji, she couldn't find anyone she could trust...
"this--"
"Please, Sister Han Ji, if this continues I will definitely go crazy, I will definitely go crazy——"
Tortured by invisible pain and facing Zhou Yan's pain, Yin Yin, who has found herself again, feels unbearable pain in her heart whenever she thinks of Ziheng's death and Zhou Yan. The desire for revenge makes it difficult for her to control herself. If she doesn't leave this place closest to her enemy quickly, she will feel like being bitten by millions of termites.
Seeing Yinyin being tortured, Han Ji couldn't bear it. What kind of pain is it to lose the one you love the most? Although she could imagine it, Han Ji couldn't understand Yinyin's pain that was worse than death...
But even if she knew that Yin Yin was suffering, what could she do?
"…I wonder if I can help with this matter?"
A familiar voice broke the indecisive situation between Han Ji and Yin Yin. Qin Ji came in from outside the curtain. It seemed that she had heard the conversation between Yin Yin and the others. When did she come in? Han Ji couldn't help but feel a little chilly when she thought of this!
"Sister Kotohime—"
It was said that only Han Ji was shocked by Qin Ji's appearance, while Yin Yin seemed to have only heard Qin Ji's words of helping her and she called for help without any vigilance...
The dark curtain gradually descended.
Zhou Yan had imagined thousands of times how to face Yin Yin after she became pregnant, but no matter what he imagined, the result was the same, he still could not tolerate the fact that the woman he loved most was pregnant with someone else's child. Thinking of this, Zhou Yan's anger burned incessantly, but even so, he could not change the reality. After many days of repeated suppression and getting along with Han Ji, Zhou Yan's angry heart was somewhat calmed down, and he decided to treat Yin Yin as before, and turn the impossible into reality. Now Yin Yin didn't know that she was pregnant with that man's child. As long as he could make Yin Yin completely his own within a certain period of time, even if Yin Yin knew she was pregnant, she would not know that the father of the child was that man. Then he could find a suitable opportunity to let Yin Yin abort the child and there would be nothing to worry about. In the end, Zhou Yan still couldn't accept that Yin Yin was pregnant with someone else's child!
Now that you've figured it out, go meet Yin Yin first.
Zhou Yan realized that he hadn't seen Yin Yin for a long time.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan became impatient.
On the way to Fengzhuyuan.
"Miss, do you really want to help Concubine Yuan leave here?"
"…Since you've agreed, there's nothing we can do about it."
"But I heard that Prince Jing is always ruthless and merciless, even towards women. If Prince Jing finds out, will he let us go?"
"Silly girl, do you mean to make me go back on my word?"
"That's not what I meant. I just think that you and Concubine Yuan are not related at all, and I really don't want to take this risk to help her leave Prince Jing's Mansion—"
"I know, but since the dancer has begged me so much, how can I refuse?"
"Miss is right!"
There seemed to be something strange in their conversation. If I said I would feel uncomfortable helping others, I would feel uncomfortable, but I didn't notice it in them at all. After a conversation, Qin Ji and the maid gradually left. At the fork of the corridor where they were talking, next to a column, a black shadow's eyes were burning with anger...
【Fengzhuyuan】.
After Qin Ji left, Yin Yin's mood stabilized a lot, and she gradually fell asleep after taking the follow-up medicine. Seeing Yin Yin sleeping soundly, Han Ji felt relieved a little. After comforting Yin Yin, Han Ji also left!
The maids left after completing all the follow-up matters.
The only person left in the room was Yin Yin, who was soundly sleeping.
I don't know when a figure appeared in the room.
Even though it was just after nightfall, the room was still quite dark, and without moonlight, it was hard to tell where he was, but this person seemed to be very clear? The figure gradually came to the bedside, and a relatively steady breathing sound came from the gauze curtain...
The dark shadow pulled open the veil.
Looking at the sleeping person.
There was a puzzling light in his eyes.
There was more anger in his eyes.
This angry look seemed to be from the same person who heard the conversation between Qin Ji and the others. If the sleeping person could lie peacefully in his arms like this, he would give up everything for her!
If the sleeping person could stay by his side forever, he would do anything for her!
But she wanted to escape.
It was a pity that she wanted to escape from him.
How he wished that time could go back to a few months ago, when she had lost her memory but it was the happiest time for him, instead of being filled with hatred and resentment towards him like now...
If possible, he really hoped that she could lose her memory forever like she did before because then he could have her.
If possible, he really wished she had never existed.
Because that way he wouldn't fall in love with her.
If possible, he really hopes to bear all the pain for her because at least she won't be living a life worse than death like she is now.
Originally, I used the lives of innocent people to restrain her, but it was only temporary. If she really wanted to leave, even if I killed everyone in the world, it would not change her determination. It would be fine even if I could keep her, even if I couldn't get her heart, as long as she stayed by my side...
"Why do I love you so much? Even though I know you'd rather die than live, I still don't want to let you go—"
Every time Zhou Yan said this, his heart ached. I believe that other people cannot understand this kind of pain, right?
"How long are you going to torture me?"
Zhou Yan lay prone beside Yin Yin with an unprecedented tone of helplessness and grief. Such tone and behavior showed how much Zhou Yan loved Yin Yin. Why could his love not be reciprocated? Who was torturing whom?
"Ajun——"
A familiar call awakened Zhou Yan from his grief.
What replaces it is anger.
"Are you still thinking about him?"
"Are you still thinking about that person?"
Hearing Yin Yin calling out other people's names, Zhou Yan could no longer suppress his anger...
A big hand raised.
He lifted the quilt covering Yin Yin.
Then he grabbed Yin Yin's clothes with both hands and pulled hard.
Yin Yin's clothes were torn to pieces.
Before the sleeping Yin Yin could react, Zhou Yan 's body was already pressing on her. This would be the beginning of a nightmare for Yin Yin.
