Chapter 47: Emotions Confuse Wisdom (2)
What is love in this world? What is affection?
He once said that he would let her make her own choice, but when she really faced it , he interfered and even bound her to his side. Zhou Cheng hated himself for being like this. When did he become such a mean person? He judged others by his own meanness? It turned out that falling in love with someone could really make people crazy, even to the point of using any means necessary. However, the retribution was not on him. Yinyin was innocent. She was just dragged into such a love affair. She could not stay by the side of the person she loved the most. Instead, she had to endure the pain and torture from all sides. It was always like this. Zhou Cheng knew that he was powerless. Even so, even if Yinyin could not stay in his heart or keep her body, even if he could not keep anything, he still wanted to stay by her side...
Lovesickness is difficult and painful.
If you keep a loved one by your side who is not in your heart, can you experience the pain of missing him/her but not being able to see him/her?
Whether it is Zhou Cheng or Zhao Ziheng, both of them love Yin Yin deeply, but they have embarked on completely different paths and chosen to love in different ways. Love is selfish, but love is also selfless. Now they don't know whether their choice for love is correct.
Yinyin's pain lies in the loss of memory and the direction she has lost. The invisible shackles are increasingly blocking her heart. She has done nothing and done nothing wrong, but the pain and torture continue. A little girl is invisibly tied to the lives of countless people. Can she bear everything that happens next? Can she overcome every difficulty and finally be together with her beloved?
【Prince Jing’s Mansion】.
"Are you sick again?"
Zhou Yan, who had just returned from outside, was shocked when he received the news that Yin Yin fell ill. How could she fall ill again out of the blue?
"Yes, he is still in a coma and reportedly has the same symptoms as before."
Zhou Yan didn’t know the real reason why Yin Yin fell ill before, so he didn’t understand the current situation, but what was the reason why Yin Yin fell ill frequently?
"What happened? Why did you suddenly fall ill?"
"It is said that the princess was out for a walk with the Wu envoy, Mr. Feng, during the day. At dusk, the emperor personally took the princess back and then she fell ill—"
"Royal brother?"
Zuo Yu's words startled Zhou Yan. They were just going out for fun, but Zhou Cheng was willing to go and greet them in person? This was different from going out together. Thinking back, according to the information he had, Yin Yin should be very cold to Zhou Cheng now. She kept him in the palace all day and rarely let him go back to the [Prime Minister's Mansion]. Now he went to greet her in person when she was out for fun. Could it be...
"Is it my royal brother——"
Zhou Yan insisted that Zhou Cheng was the reason why Yin Yin fell ill. As expected of him, he guessed it right at once. However, this was only part of the reason. The real reason was unknown because of his deliberate distance. But Zhou Yan did not think so much and just determined that Zhou Cheng was the culprit.
"Humph, on the surface you take great care of her, but secretly you hurt her so badly, what a hypocrite."
Zhou Yan slammed the table, anger sparking in his eyes . The reason why he had been unable to hold back his anger until now was partly because of the agreement he made with Zhao Ziheng and Wang Ye's advice. He did not expect that keeping Yin Yin with Zhou Cheng would cause her to fall ill again and again. Zhou Yan could no longer bear it.
"Your Majesty——"
"Send me your visiting card. I will visit the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow morning."
"But Your Majesty, the princess is in a coma now, and we don't know when she will wake up. I'm afraid that even if Your Majesty sends a visiting card, the Prime Minister will refuse it on the grounds that the princess is not awake yet, right?"
There was some truth in Zuo Yu's words. It was probably as he expected. Even if Zhou Yan went there, he might not be able to see Yin Yin. He couldn't force his way in. Zhou Yan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. If she was by his side, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
"Then go and prepare. Tomorrow the King will go to the palace to see the Emperor."
"yes!"
Even if he couldn't see Yinyin yet, Zhou Yan didn't want to sit and wait for death. Taking action was the right thing to do. He couldn't be distracted by Zhao Ziheng's affairs any longer. Now Yinyin had lost her memory and didn't react much when she saw him at the imperial banquet. Now was the best time for him to take Yinyin back. Thinking of the time when Yinyin had lost her memory and snuggled in his arms and obeyed his every word, Zhou Yan couldn't wait...
A camp on the outskirts of [Sucheng], the neighboring city of [Wangcheng].
It was only half a day's journey from the royal city to here, and Shan Zhen also received the news that Yin Yin fell ill again. He looked worried as he stood not far from the camp, holding a jade pendant in his right palm, with the words "Zhao Ren" clearly . This was the jade pendant for Princess Zhao Ren bestowed by the previous king that was lost by Yin Yin, and it turned out to be in Shan Zhen's possession.
Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Shan Zhen felt sad. A hint of sadness was revealed on his handsome face, and he looked very melancholy.
"Yin Yin——"
Shan Zhen's voice was gentle but bitter and sad. One could tell how sad and helpless he was at the moment. He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand and strode away from the military camp and into the woods. Somewhere far away from the military camp and in the woods, Shan Zhen stopped. He looked at the jade pendant tightly in his hand and couldn't help feeling annoyed. He put the jade pendant back to his waist, suddenly drew out his sword and swung it, as if to vent his anger?
He swung his sword again and again, cutting the surrounding trees into pieces. In a moment, the originally dense forest was cut into an empty space by the sword in his hand. Looking at the leaves flying all over the sky and the trees falling one after another, Shan Zhen's annoyance remained unabated...
