Chapter 51 Bitter Love (5)
Zuo Yu lost his parents at a young age and became an orphan. At the age of nine, he was sold to a wealthy family in the royal city by human traffickers. At the age of eleven, he was nearly killed for breaking his master's vase. It was Zhou Yan who happened to pass by and saved him. He knew that Zhou Yan saved him purely on a whim at that time. Despite this, Zuo Yu decided . After being saved by Zhou Yan, Zuo Yu began to train. Because of Zhou Yan's identity as a prince, Zuo Yu was able to join the training camp of the Royal Guards. After countless hardships, he was finally recognized and officially used by Zhou Yan to become his personal bodyguard. He witnessed Zhou Yan's feelings for Yin Yin with his own eyes. He witnessed that Zhou Yan, who had always been cold-blooded and ruthless, was always very cautious in dealing with Yin Yin, as if he was afraid of melting if he held her in his mouth, and holding her in his arms. "My palms are afraid of breaking", and he also knows that only Yinyin can make Zhou Yan waver. He knows the hardships and pains better than anyone else. He hopes that Zhou Yan can stay with Yinyin until old age, but everything is beyond the control of a person of his status; when he sees Zhou Yan going crazy for Yinyin sometimes, the heart-wrenching and painful expression of that kind of madness has made him want to kill Yinyin many times, but fortunately he didn't do that. When Yinyin stepped forward to rescue him in the Gray Valley, Zuo Yu knew why Zhou Yan only loved her. It was from then on that Zuo Yu wanted the two of them to be together and happy, but sometimes he wanted to think about Han Ji's position involved in this situation. What did Zhou Yan think of her? This is still not something he can interfere with. Zuo Yu also knows that this is not something he can solve. At present, he only needs to think about how to make his master get the happiness he has been pursuing for a long time. Now the opportunity is in front of him. His master... Can Zhou Yan's long-standing love come to fruition?
"I am too talkative."
"How's that going?"
"Yes, because if we delay here for a day, I'm afraid we'll be caught up tomorrow."
"Humph, he is indeed worthy of being the one who caught up with us so quickly."
"My Lord, then we..."
"It's going according to plan."
"Really ? He belongs to the princess..."
"Zuo Yu, when does this king need your approval to do anything?"
"Your subordinates deserve to die!"
Zuo Yu immediately knelt down on one knee to apologize to Zhou Yan. Even though he knew the trauma caused by the plan, it seemed that there was no room for words.
"Remember this, my lord. Just do what I say. Talk less and do ."
"Yes, I obey your command."
"Go down."
"yes!"
Zuo Yu obeyed the order and left. Zuo Yu knew that all he could do was obey Zhou Yan. He almost forgot that Zhou Yan was not someone he could convince. He just had to do what he was supposed to do.
The other side is the palace.
"This King Doesn't Want to Hear It!!!"
In the imperial study, Zhou Cheng was roaring angrily. Facing Zhang Ren's supervision, he was in a state of great emotional confusion.
"emperor!"
"Prime Minister, have you forgotten what Yan did to Yin Yin? Or do you still want to experience again the fate of Yin Yin being tortured by him to the point of being worse than death?"
"Of course not, but Madam also said that it was Yinyin who followed them on her own terms. If you rush after her before you understand Yinyin's true intention, it will only make the situation worse. Prince Jing is the kind of person who dares to do anything. Have you forgotten how you got the injury on your body?"
Zhang Ren's words made it difficult for Zhou Cheng to refute, and he didn't know how to refute, so he could only remain silent.
"Leave Yinyin's affairs to Zhen'er for now. You have other things to do. I am grateful that you care about Yinyin's feelings, but you shouldn't abandon state affairs because of your children's personal feelings. This goes against your status as a king. These days you have only cared about Yinyin's affairs and not participated in state affairs. I am not saying that you shouldn't worry, but you have lost your mind because of love. You must understand that as a king, there are things you should and shouldn't do. Even if you want to do something, you have to choose the right time."
"So what should I do?"
Zhang Ren's words helped Zhou Cheng regain some composure. He admitted that he had neglected state affairs because of Yin Yin's affairs these days, so he faced his dereliction of duty so easily.
"Prince Jing's taking Yinyin away this time may be a test for you. You should take this opportunity to calm down and see clearly what is the right path to take in the future. If you can't separate your love affairs from state affairs and practice them together, it proves that you haven't found the answer yet. You keep saying that you love her but let her suffer external harm. You love beauty but not the country. You can't give up either one, and you can't take both into account. This result will only prove that you are unqualified in both."
"so what?"
“So you have to find a way to coexist with both, without losing either, but still have the best of both worlds.”
Zhou Cheng was silent. How to take care of both? Easier said than done. If Yin Yin's heart was still with him before, maybe he could do it, but now the facts are completely opposite, even more difficult. He knows that Yin Yin's heart is not with him but with another person. If he wants to win back Yin Yin's heart, he must pay enough time and price. As a king of a country, he has very little time to spend on himself. How can he win back the heart of a person who has lost and still has someone else in his heart? He had thought about using tough means to keep Yin Yin by his side before, but before he could take action, Zhou Yan got there first? How can he remain indifferent? How can he stay calm?
