Chapter 157 Love, Promise
As night falls, the night breeze is slightly cool. The whole inner palace is quiet, and even the sound of insects cannot be heard. Yun Che sat on the top of the Guanfeng Pavilion behind Taixuan Hall, bathed in the moonlight, thinking about things silently in his mind.
It has been a year since he left Liuyun City. His original life plan was very simple. He repaired his mysterious veins and achieved something within three years. Then he returned to Liuyun City to regain the freedom of his grandfather and his aunt, as well as his dignity. Later, he met Jasmine, and his destiny was reborn because of Jasmine, and his destiny was tied to her. The trajectory of life was also destined to be turned upside down by Jasmine.
But now, there is another Lan Xueruo in his life.
He likes Lan Xueruo, and he is sure of this. From the first sight of her, he was deeply attracted by her beautiful appearance and gentle temperament. After half a year of getting along, especially after experiencing the disaster of life and death together, their feelings for each other have also matured a little bit from the beginning.
It was not until yesterday that he knew Lan Xueruo's identity and what she was carrying. And what would he face if he wanted to be with her.
Yesterday, some of Qin Wuyou's words were cruel, but Yun Che could not help but admit that every word he said was an indisputable fact. His ability was too small and might be able to resolve any personal grudges, but the royal dispute also involved two grand sects. If he was forcibly involved, it would be like sand and dust that filled the sea, and would be instantly submerged without a trace.
"Junior Brother Yun, it turns out that you are here."
Lan Xueruo's gentle voice sounded behind Yun Che, and a gust of fragrance blew. Lan Xueruo had already jumped to the top of the pavilion and looked at him with a smile: "I just went to your residence to find you, but you are not here. I didn't expect you to be interested in watching the moon here. Have you encountered any trouble?"
"It's not a worry." Yun Che looked ahead: "I'm just making a decision that may be a very important thing in my life."
Lan Xueruo sat down next to Yun Che. After hesitating for a while, he asked carefully: "Junior Brother Yun, I heard that you received an invitation from the prince and the third prince at the same time, and the invitation time was exactly the same. Are you... hesitating about whose invitation you should go to?"
Yun Che did not answer and asked back, "Senior Sister, who do you think I should agree to? One is the prince and the other is the third prince. It seems that I can't refuse."
Lan Xueruo's face shook deeply and hesitated: "I, I want to hear your decision. I... have no right to interfere with your affairs."
"...I heard that the current Cangfeng royal family is in turmoil and undercurrents are surging. The emperor is currently ill in bed and his life is not long. If he dies one day, all the storms and undercurrents will explode... Senior sister, I want to know, do you want me to get involved in this royal dispute?" Yun Che asked indifferently.
"No! I don't want it! I don't want it." Lan Xueruo shook her head quickly: "Junior Brother Yun, I know you are not the kind of person who has the desire to be entitled to power, and you will definitely not do that, right?"
"What if I must get involved?" Yun Che said quietly.
Lan Xueruo's body stiffened, and her big eyes looked at Yun Che with panic: "Why do you want to get involved? You don't know how dangerous and terrible the storm and undercurrents within the royal family are. Once you get involved, you may never get out again. The complexity and dangers here are not something you can imagine. Junior Brother Yun, you shouldn't be a person who likes power and struggles. What do you want to do? Do you really want to surrender to the prince or the third prince?"
"You are right. I have no desire for power. I have no interest in fighting. However, in this world, there are many things that I don't have no interest in. If you don't like, don't do it." Yun Che turned his eyes to Lan Xueruo and looked at her luxuriantly: "Senior Sister... Should I call you Senior Sister Xueruo, or... Princess Cangyue?"
Lan Xueruo's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and a moment of turmoil and panic appeared in her eyes. She lowered her head and stammered: "You... do you know everything? Did Mentor Qin tell you? I... I really didn't mean to hide it from you, I just... just..."
Yun Che did not wait for her to continue and whispered to herself: "At the first time I saw you, I was impressed by your gentleness and elegance and pleasing appearance. Later, it was difficult for Xiao Zong to divide the sect. You risked being implicated and wanted to save me. After that, you went to the sect alone and experienced life and death escape with me... Later, when you came to the Cangfeng Imperial City and entered the Cangfeng Xuan Mansion, you have always carefully arranged and taken care of everything about me. If it weren't for you, I would have died under Xiao Zaihe, or if I don't know where I am now, or maybe I am still on the run. If you eat wind and drink dew, you wouldn't have this stable place to live."
"I have done so much for me. I thought you fell in love with me, and I also enjoyed every moment with you... Until yesterday, when I received the invitation letter, Teacher Qin told me everything. I realized that the reason why you treat me very much, the reason why you don't hesitate to go to Xiaozong's branch in person, and the reason why you brought me to Cangfeng Imperial City was because you were attracted by my qualifications and potential. In order to fulfill your father's wish, I let me represent the royal family in the Cangfeng ranking battle. What I thought before was just that I was self-indulgent..."
Yun Che's words were filled with a hint of loss and sorrow, which made Lan Xueruo feel in a panic. His last words made her feel tingled. She shouted in panic: "No... No! I did choose you because of my father, but I didn't deliberately hide it from you, nor did I want to use you. I just hope to find the most suitable opportunity to tell you everything. Because the longer I get along with you, the more I am afraid... I am afraid that if you know all this, I will feel that I am cheating on you and using you. The reason why I am afraid is because... because..."
"Senior Sister..." Yun Che interrupted her again, and said sadly: "I want to... be quiet for a while..."
As the sound fell, Yun Che had already slid down from the top of the pavilion and disappeared silently into the night.
"Junior Brother Yun... Junior Brother Yun!!"
The blue snow is as bright as the moonlight, and the light is shining around, but Yun Che can no longer be found.
"It's not like this, it's not like this... I really didn't mean to hide it from you, nor did I want to use you..." Lan Xueruo's heart suddenly fell into a deep abyss. She squatted down weakly, hugged her knees with her arms, and started crying bitterly.
My father was seriously ill, she did not shed tears, the royal family was trapped in disaster, she did not shed tears, the fifteenth gate of the fifteenth city was pressing step by step, she did not shed tears... silently shouldering everything, but at this moment, with Yun Che's departure, she felt her spirit and soul suddenly become empty, as if she had lost something more important than life. Her heartache was like a needle, and tears were running wildly uncontrollably, helpless like a fallen leaf abandoned by the world.
"Senior sister, your tears are so precious. They are so precious... I can only exchange them for a lifetime."
A gentle voice like dreams sounded in her ears. She raised her head suddenly, and her eyes were hazy. She saw Yun Che right in front of her. He stretched out his hand, gently rubbed her cheeks, and wiped away the crystal tears.
"Junior Brother Yun, don't... leave me!"
This deep crying words were completely uncontrollably shouted from Lan Xueruo. Because this was a voice that had been buried deep in her heart for a long time and she didn't even realize it. The heart-wrenching pain just now was like a sharp blade that cut open her soul and atrium, allowing her deep buried emotions to be completely released, and finally fully understood what kind of emotions she had towards this "Junior Brother Yun".
She threw herself into Yun Che's arms and burst into tears. She had never cried so recklessly, but with him beside her, leaning against her arms, she felt that nothing needed to be disguised and no longer needed to be suppressed. The worries, pressure, pain, pain, regret that had accumulated in her heart for a long time were all like a flood that broke through the dam, rushing freely.
"Senior sister, I'm sorry..." Yun Che hugged her and said softly: "The words before were not my intention. I have known you for so long, how could I not know how soft you are a girl, how could I be willing to hide and use me? I said those words because I was nervous and afraid... I don't know if I really walked into my senior sister's heart, because my senior sister is so good and a princess, and I have no power and power, and I have a low background. I have nothing except self-esteem, passion and heart for my senior sister, so I am really nervous and afraid... I am very selfish and want to see if my senior sister will cry for me..."
"A man who makes his woman cry is the most hateful man in the world... Senior sister, can you forgive me for being willful and selfish this time? I will cherish your tears in my heart. It will be a precious wealth imprinted in my heart for the rest of my life, and it will be my greatest motivation in the future."
"It's not your fault, you don't need to say sorry to me... It's my fault, it's my fault, it's me who concealed you, it's me who always had such an attempt to you..." Lan Xueruo shook her head hard in front of Yun Che's chest, crying sadly: "I always thought that my concern, longing for you, and the urge to see you are because you have the hope of realizing my father's wishes... Until just now, when you disappeared from me, I realized that I had been unable to leave you... Wuwu... Don't leave me, I don't want the identity of a princess... I will not let you participate in the Cangfeng ranking battle again, I just want... You can be by my side so that I can see you often... Don't leave me..."
Lan Xueruo finally revealed her heart without reservation. Yun Che smiled slightly, hugged Lan Xueruo and said softly: "My heart to my senior sister is just like that to me. Since my heart is together, we should all bear our affairs together. Senior sister's affairs are mine. If even my senior sister's little wish can't be satisfied, how can I deserve my senior sister's like... Cangfeng ranking battle, I will go, and I will also participate in the turmoil of the Cangfeng royal family... Senior sister should not stop me first. I just told Senior sister that I am making a very important decision in life... This is my decision."
"Although, I am just a young eagle now. But if I give me time, I will always have the day when wings are born. Please give me the chance to use wings to shelter you from the wind and rain... Even if the storm is too big and I can't cover it, I can still take my senior sister to spread her wings and fly high, leave this place of storm forever, and find a place that belongs to us again. This is the right I have because I like my senior sister... Even if I am a senior sister, I cannot deprive it."
If Lan Xue didn't speak, she could only try to suppress her sobs and her violent trembling shoulders. The shoulders of the man she snuggled with were not wide, but they made her so warm and safe. She felt like duckweed floating around, and finally found the warmest destination.
The two sat on the top of the pavilion, bathing in the moonlight together. For a long time, neither of them spoke. A tears, a confession and a promise. The last gap between them completely disappeared, and their hearts were closely connected, listening to each other's hearts.
"Tomorrow, take me to see your father, okay? Don't forget that your man is a miracle doctor, and there is no disease that he cannot cure."
"Well..." Lan Xueruo responded softly, leaning on Yun Che's shoulder, her eyes closed slightly, her mouth bent slightly, tears in the corners of her eyes, and she was unparalleled in beauty.
