Chapter 73: Desire in the Heart (1)
It is a painful thing to pretend to be indifferent and calm in front of the person you love the most, but Zhao Ziheng endured the pain, just to prevent the person he loves the most from being frightened. The slight panic revealed in Yin Yin's eyes made him feel heartbroken.
"Prince Jing has already issued the order and arranged everything. I'm afraid he will take action tonight. Time is running out. Do you still want to meet him?"
"certainly."
Without any hesitation or consideration, Yin Yin answered decisively. Her answer made Zhao Ziheng feel a little cold in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder when the person who always needed protection in the past became so strong?
"Do you think you can stop him?"
"…I don't know, but I don't believe he would do that, absolutely not."
Zhao Ziheng and Xiuying were both surprised by Yinyin's answer. Regardless of what happened in the past, why was Yinyin still so convinced now that the facts were before her eyes? Staring at Yinyin, who had been deeply hurt by Zhou Yan but was still so convinced of him, Zhao Ziheng felt confused. Was it a mistake for him to keep Yinyin? Her expression and eyes seemed to be looking at a distant place, where he didn't seem to be...
"Do you trust him that much?"
Restraining his inner depression , what exactly did Zhao Ziheng mean by the words he blurted out?
"yes."
Yinyin answered without any hesitation, which stirred up ripples in Zhao Ziheng's originally calm heart. He never thought that Yinyin would trust Zhou Yan so much. She had done so many things to hurt Yinyin in the past, and even threatened to keep Yinyin by her side with other people's lives. But now Yinyin actually believed that Zhou Yan would not do such a thing? How could Zhao Ziheng endure this? He could not forget everything Zhou Yan had done to Yinyin, and he could not understand or tolerate Yinyin's current belief in Zhou Yan. This caused his heart to suffer a huge trauma again. Suddenly, Zhao Ziheng felt a warm current rising from his throat and immediately covered his mouth with one hand and turned his back to Yinyin...
"Your Majesty?"
Xiuying, who was standing nearby, was shocked when she saw the blood flowing out from the gap between Zhao Ziheng's fingertips. She hurried forward, but Yinyin was in a blind spot and didn't notice anything at all. Xiuying wanted to help, but Zhao Ziheng rejected her with his other hand. Zhao Ziheng endured the pain and didn't make a sound. The blood continued to flow, and the blood flowed down his wrist into his sleeve. This scene was heartbreaking.
"emperor--"
Helpless Xiuying could neither help nor did she know what to do. She could only worry about them. Yinyin behind her looked at the two of them in confusion and didn't know how to start.
"emperor?"
At this time Wang Ye came in. As soon as he saw Zhao Ziheng vomiting blood, he immediately stepped forward.
"Well?"
Yin Yin was a little surprised to see Wang Ye coming in, because she didn't know that Wang Ye was Zhao Ziheng's man, so she didn't know why he appeared here.
“…I, I’m fine—”
He used all his strength to suppress the pain in his heart. After he loosened his hand, his mouth was full of blood. Zhao Ziheng spoke to Wang Ye with some difficulty. It was hard for him to speak, but Wang Ye could see from his eyes that he didn't want to talk too much in front of Yin Yin...
"Xiuying, take the emperor back to his room first."
"Yeah! Good!!"
"No, you two can stay here."
With heavy breathing, in order not to attract attention, Zhao Ziheng turned his back to Yin Yin and spoke to Wang Ye and Xiuying. His eyes were so firm that it was impossible to refute or refuse. Wang Ye and Xiuying were stunned and acquiesced. Seeing that Wang Ye and Xiuying acquiesced, Zhao Ziheng felt a little relieved?
"Princess, please let Wang Ye treat you first. I'll take my leave now."
Not wanting Yin Yin to see his current appearance, Zhao Ziheng left the room without looking back after saying something, leaving Wang Ye, Xiuying, and the bewildered Yin Yin behind.
Without feeling the passage of time, Wang Ye arrived in front of Yin Yin...
"Princess, long time no see."
" Doctor Wang?"
Yin Yin knew very early on that Wang Ye was not an imperial physician nor was he Zhou Cheng's man. During the time she was with him, she clearly felt that only Wang Ye was different. He looked like an ordinary person, but he was not at all submissive to Emperor Zhou Cheng. She didn't know why Wang Ye saved her, and she also knew Wang Ye's abilities. Why did he appear now after leaving so suddenly?
"It's an honor that the princess remembers me. Do you feel better?"
"You... saved me?"
When Yin Yin said this, she didn't know what kind of mood or thoughts she was in. She just felt that way, as if she was saved by Wang Ye, and it didn't seem like he was referring to her as a doctor.
"No, the person who saved you can be said to be me, or it can be said not to be me. Princess, do you have no impression of me?"
Wang Ye understood the meaning of Yin Yin's words, so he guided Yin Yin to the right path to find the answer. Yin Yin was also attracted by Wang Ye's words, and the memory emerged in her mind. Although it was a little fuzzy, she could still feel that it was indeed before she lost consciousness that a familiar face appeared in her sight, and she felt the warmth in that person's arms...
"ah!"
Just when she felt like she was missing him, Yin Yin's head seemed to split open, forcing her to stop searching further. Seeing Yin Yin's expression, Wang Ye was slightly startled. He knew that Yin Yin should have been able to remember it, but suddenly seemed to be blocked by something. What was it?
