Chapter 66: The Shape of Happiness (4)
After saying so much, Xiuying still wouldn't listen, so Wang Ye was too lazy to say anything more. He could understand why the usually quiet Xiuying could become like this. Since he couldn't calm her anger, he had to let her see it with her own eyes. In fact, even if she hadn't seen it, he believed that it was not Yinyin's fault, let alone that she had seen it.
So, on the second night, Xiuying, led by Wang Ye, Zhao Ziheng and others, climbed over the heavily guarded wall of the Prince Jing's Mansion. After an investigation, they went directly to Yin Yin's residence. While advancing in the dark, two maids came out of the target room. They wanted to wait until they passed by before going in, but they heard an unexpected topic!
"Really? How long will your Majesty's days of weeping last? Since life is painful, it's better to be free sooner rather than later."
"Hey, be careful with your words. If someone hears you, you might be the next one to die."
"ah--"
The two maids were talking to each other, and the content of the topic attracted the attention of Zhao Ziheng and others.
"Honestly, no matter how painful life is, the Queen still has to survive, right? Otherwise, we would be in a different place now. Don't forget that our lives are in her hands."
"There's nothing we can do about it. The prince used this method to stop the queen messing around and committing suicide."
How could Xiuying not be shocked after listening to the maids' conversation? Using human life to bind a person, is this the reason why Yinyin lived in shame?
"Although I don't know what made her hate the prince so much, but she danced really beautifully."
"Yeah, how should I put it, you really deserve to be called the 'dancing princess' of the world."
After the two maids finished their brief conversation and left Xiuying and the others' sight, they also fell into a daze. What did they just hear? When Xiuying and the others were thinking about the maids' conversation, the door of the target room opened from the inside, and the person who came out was Yinyin. The moonlight sprinkled on her face, and the tears that had not dried were crystal clear and shining under the moonlight. There was no color in her haggard appearance and empty eyes. Because Yinyin's appearance was too sudden, Xiuying and the others did not move. Seeing Yinyin walk to the open space in front of the room, looking up at the night sky, as if she remembered something, tears slid down her face, and her expression was painful. Then Yinyin began to dance, and a nostalgic dance appeared in front of Xiuying and the others. Xiuying remembered very clearly that Yinyin was dancing the dance she cooperated with Zhao Ziheng on the island. Now only Yinyin was dancing alone, as if she was dancing for the deep longing for each other...
Immersed in Yinyin's dance , Xiuying was stunned. She couldn't believe what she saw. She should have lived a luxurious life in the palace, but why couldn't she see any sense of luxury from Yinyin? Where was happiness? She only saw grief, and she felt heartbroken just by looking at her. This was the feeling Yinyin gave her. Thinking of the topic the maid had talked about before and what she saw now, she realized that it was not Yinyin's original intention to live when that happened. It was not that she could be happy only if she could live a luxurious life. Even in such a poor life on the fishing island, Xiuying clearly saw that Yinyin was happy when she was with Zhao Ziheng. When did she forget all this? What is happiness for Yinyin? That kind of happiness is so simple and beautiful, which is a world of difference from what she sees now!
'It's not her fault'.
Xiuying thought about what Wang Ye said to her yesterday. Did Wang Ye forgive her because of this? No, there was no forgiveness at all. If she really wanted to say it, Xiuying should apologize to Yinyin. If there was a chance...
——The End of Memories——
Thinking about the past and the present, it was not Yinyin's fault that she lost her memory, but Xiuying thought it was wrong to keep avoiding it, at least she thought so, so she said "it's not entirely my fault". She also wanted to imitate Wang Ye, but she couldn't do it. She didn't even know if it was the right time to say such words.
"sorry--"
"You're right, I'm really running away—"
Yinyin shed tears silently. It was painful to see it. Xiuying apologized for two reasons: one was for her tone and attitude, and the other was for having doubted Yinyin. Yinyin only knew the first reason, and she couldn't understand the latter yet. Maybe that was why Xiuying thought of vaguely expressing her long-standing apology to Yinyin at this time. Even if she didn't know, saying it out loud would make her feel better. After Yinyin remembered everything, Xiuying would of course formally apologize to Yinyin. Before that, she could only apologize to this extent.
"Princess——"
Looking at Yin Yin's tears, she felt powerless to stop them. She didn't know what to say or do at this moment. She was the one who brought up the topic, but she couldn't predict what would happen next. She felt a little regretful and self-blaming, and couldn't help but wonder, what would Wang Ye do if it was him at this moment?
