Chapter 74 The Royal Garden (Part 2)
"Brother Xuan, what's wrong with you?" Ling'er was worried about Liu Yixuan's eyes when she saw that she was confused. "Didn't you say something to me? What are you saying?"
Liu Yixuan frowned and finally spoke.
"Ling'er, I... I'm afraid I can't get married to you anymore!"
Although Liu Yixuan's voice seemed very low, these words hit Ling'er's ears like a bolt from the blue. She stared at Liu Yixuan's eyes tightly. A forehead pattern gradually bulged between the two willow eyebrows. The clear eyes quickly rippled, and tears involuntarily broke through the shackles of the eyelids and slid down the pink and white cheeks to the chin.
"Ling'er, don't do this, I can't do anything about it!" Liu Yixuan saw her crying and hurriedly wanted to use his hands to wipe her tears, but saw Ling'er lifting her arm, throwing his hand away fiercely, and avoiding a step back.
"Why, you must still be obsessed with Sister Wu, right? You have her in your heart, so you don't want to marry me?" Ling'er looked puzzled and wronged, because she really couldn't understand why Liu Yixuan refused this marriage. Did he deceive himself by what he said to him before? He said he wanted to make himself happy every day, but gave himself such a heartless answer in the face of lifelong events. In her heart, the only explanation was that her brother Xuan fell in love with another woman.
After hearing Ling'er's words, Liu Yixuan knew that she didn't understand her difficulties, so he quickly explained: "How could that be, Ling'er, I swear to the sky, you are the only one in my heart!"
"You lied to others! You didn't marry me anymore, and you said that I was the only one in your heart! Woo woo..." Ling'er grinned and cried loudly, shocking the birds watching the fun on the tree.
"It's not like that, Ling'er, listen to my explanation. Didn't I tell you? I'm not from you, the Song Dynasty. I came from another era. There are my parents and relatives there. I can't leave them alone, right? If I get married to you, what if I suddenly go back one day, wouldn't I let you down again?"
After hearing this, Ling'er realized Liu Yixuan's concern. He was afraid that one day he would suddenly leave the Song Dynasty and leave him alone to stay in the empty room and become a resentful woman in the deep boudoir. Although Ling'er heard him say things like time travel on weekdays, she only thought he was coaxing herself to play. Today, she truly believed his words when she saw him in such a dilemma.
Ling'er stopped crying and sobbed, "Of course you should go back to visit your parents. You should come back after seeing them. If it really doesn't work, you will also bring them to our Song Dynasty. I asked the emperor to build a villa with them. Wouldn't we be filial to them together?"
“…”
Liu Yixuan couldn't smile bitterly after hearing this. If there were tickets for this time travel, he wouldn't have to go there whenever he wanted to come. He wouldn't have to go so hard? Liu Yixuan was still in trouble because so far, he didn't know how to go back. He didn't know how long he would stay in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was rare that a girl who was so affectionate about him could not give up easily? But he was not desperate about the future and believed that he would be able to return to his original world one day, so he continued to suffer himself.
"Ling'er, you are the only person I can't let go of during the period of the Northern Song Dynasty. If it weren't for your appearance, this experience would really make me feel bored. I am already satisfied to meet you here. I don't expect to spend this life with you, I just want you to be happy and happy. You are the princess of the Song Dynasty. I don't know how many princes and grandsons are begging for this marriage. Maybe a genuine Northern Song Dynasty person can grow old with you, and I am just a passerby in your life. Maybe one day I will disappear in this space of time and space, just like I'm dead, and will never appear again. Instead of seeing your sadness at that time, it's better to let you forget me now. Ling'er, I'm sorry, forgive your brother who is untrustworthy. I believe you will definitely find a better person than me, let that person spend the rest of your life with you!"
Liu Yixuan finished this farewell confession with tears in his eyes. He planned to part with Ling'er, let himself disappear from her memory, and then escape from the capital overnight, and quietly hide in a place where no one knows. Then he went to Junzhou to find the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". If he could see through the code in the picture, he might soon return to Beijing nine hundred years later, and by then, he would be fine.
Liu Yixuan lowered his head and wiped the tears that were rolling in the corners of his eyes, and then said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, don't hate me, we won't... let's not... meet again. I will tell your mother that he will take it back."
After saying goodbye, Liu Yixuan stepped back and turned around and left resolutely. He threw his robe and tried his best to give up this love that shouldn't have happened, so that this beautiful and short memory would be deposited in the depths of memory like a beautiful dream and gradually faded in the days to come.
But after only two steps, Ling'er rushed over and hugged him from behind. The poor princess had already cried. She hugged her, the prince consort whom she had dreamed of last night, begging...
"Brother Xuan... I won't let you go, I won't let you go! Why do you abandon me? I don't want to grow old together... I don't want to spend my whole life together. I just want Brother Xuan, you are alone! I don't care how long you can stay in our Song Dynasty. As long as you stay in the Song Dynasty for one day, Ling'er will not choose another man as the prince consort!"
This sentence made Liu Yixuan unforgettable for his life. His heart was filled with deep emotion and self-blame. He was really not worthy of this princess's infatuation. He even regretted his acquaintance with Ling'er, and he should not let each other fall in love with each other. How can these two hearts, which are thousands of years apart, complete the integration in the same time and space?
Ling'er hugged Liu Yixuan tightly, tears had already flowed like a spring, and the faint powder had long been messy. "Brother Xuan, I don't want you to leave. You are not a passerby to me. You are the prince consort sent to me by God! If you want to leave, I have to follow you, even if I am no longer a princess, I will be with you...Brother Xuan... Don't leave me!"
Ling'er's face was tightly pressed against Liu Yixuan's back, and the warm tears had already flowed into Liu Yixuan's cold heart. Even if he had thousands of cruelty, he could not let Ling'er down! In the face of this feeling, Liu Yixuan did not even have the courage and persistence of Ling'er. He was still tortured by his former identity.
Ling'er told him with tears that a person can abandon everything for true love, whether it is a noble identity or a high-ranking royal power, even his own life! Liu Yixuan couldn't help but ask himself, if he really loves Ling'er, what else can't let go of for Ling'er's sincerity? What adversity can't be overcome? What pain can't be overcome?
Liu Yixuan suddenly woke up, and then realized his cruelty and selfishness. He almost made a mistake that might make him regret his life. He quickly turned around and hugged the pitiful princess of the Song Dynasty, who was full of tears, tightly in his arms... (First volume 1) (To be continued)
