Chapter 45: Dancing at Night (1)
How many times can you miss something in your life?
Can you make up for what you missed?
Can destined people get together again?
Can lovers finally get married?
The time for the city gate to close is not far away. Zhao Ziheng has already packed his luggage for departure. With a heavy heart, he waits outside the door for the moment of departure...
Looking back, he had left behind his country, which was being rebuilt, and came to Zhou. Yinyin had woken up from a long sleep, but they had only met once at the imperial banquet. During the conversation, they were just strangers. He didn't even have the chance to spend time alone with her or hold her in his arms. In other words, he had gained nothing from this visit. If it was possible, how could this be what Zhao Ziheng wanted? With so many words to say and no choice, he could only leave involuntarily. He knew that being the king of a country was not as easy or simple as he imagined. Many things were not up to him, and it was not easy to let go.
"Is it really possible?"
At some point, Wang Ye had arrived beside Zhao Ziheng and asked Zhao Ziheng for the answer for the last time.
"I believe that the bond between Yinyin and I cannot be severed by her amnesia or my departure. She is in my heart, and so is I. It's just that she can't remember me at the moment. This is not her fault. This is a test from God. I believe that our relationship can overcome all kinds of difficulties, and she will eventually come back to me. I will stick to my belief until that day comes."
Wang Ye could see that Zhao Ziheng had made up his mind. There was no point in saying anything more. She should just face it. Perhaps this was the best choice for the current situation. Although he was a stranger, he was also the most familiar. He should have stayed by her side, but he happily chose to leave. Matters of the heart were the most difficult to understand in the world. How to really act was probably only known by the two parties involved. No matter how much a bystander calculated, it would probably be in vain in the end.
"If we meet now, and she still can't recall my memories, I might not be able to control myself. It's better to let go and leave it to fate. But I will never allow fate to let Shu'er leave me——"
"That is to say, although you gave up on the surface, you actually didn't think so in your heart. It seems that what you saw through was far beyond my imagination."
Zhao Ziheng did not speak. He himself did not know where to begin. The reason why he could see through many things that he could not see before was more or less due to Wang Ye's indoctrination. This was also the reason why he was about to leave his beloved at this moment. However, he did not blame Wang Ye. If he had to blame someone, he could only blame his current identity and situation. He was more open-minded and indifferent to the persistent affection for his beloved and the fact that he was unfaithful to her. This kind of pain and torture had entangled him for too long. Now he had let it go . As long as his belief and love for Yin Yin remained unchanged, the others were just tests given to him by God. If he did not go through and pass these so-called tests, how could he and his beloved have a beautiful future? What had happened could not be changed. No matter how much he regretted and blamed himself, it was an unchangeable fact after all. There was no need to deliberately forget or obsess. All he could do was to stick to his unchanging feelings for Yin Yin.
"Your Majesty! All preparations have been completed and we are ready to set off at any time. Please give the order--"
"Well, let's go!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Ziheng responded to Lin Yicheng's report and embarked on a short farewell journey. Even so, his heart would always stay here and still be with Yinyin...
Wang Ye also followed Zhao Ziheng because he had accepted Zhao Ziheng's invitation to return to Zhao .
'Shu'er, even though I have to be far away from you now, my heart will always stay with you. When everything is over, I will come to greet you. Before that, I hope you can spend every day happily and with laughter!'
'My heart remains unchanged, my love is eternal, please don't forget, you are the only one I love in the world, and I will love you till I die!'
In Zhao Ziheng's heart, his love for Yin Yin is unwavering. He wants to shout out his thoughts and voice to her, wants to tell her, but can she hear him?
Zhao Ziheng left and embarked on the journey back to his country, leaving behind the love of his life. Although he left, many people knew that his departure at this moment was only temporary. In order to regain what he wanted in the future, he would return again, bringing his glory and everything with him...
'My heart remains unchanged, my love is eternal, between heaven and earth, until death'.
Yin Yin, who was writing in the palace, was suddenly startled.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing, nothing—"
Yinyin answered Xiuying's greeting with an uncertain mind. She seemed to have heard a faint sound just now? Was it an illusion? She felt uneasy, so she put down her pen, stood up and walked to the window, looking up at the night sky...
Xiuying noticed that Yinyin looked uneasy, but she didn't know why and felt at a loss as to what to do.
Looking up at the night sky, I recalled that I seemed to hear someone talking just now. Although I couldn't hear the content of the words clearly, the voice was very familiar and nostalgic. I seemed to hear it vaguely in my dreams. The voice seemed to linger in my ears. The voice was full of melancholy, helplessness, and emotion. I don't know if it was unhappy or sad. In what state of mind did the owner of the voice say it? The voice made Yinyin feel very sad, and she couldn't help but shed tears...
"Princess——"
Xiuying became worried when she saw Yinyin crying silently.
