Under the warm sunshine, Xie Jinyan's deep silhouette reflected a layer of gloominess.
There was also darkness and questioning in those charming peach blossom eyes, which was exactly like the look on her face when she first returned to Kyoto.
But at this moment, his face no longer had the sarcasm of the past, only a sense of gloomy oppression and cold anger.
"Yu Qingwu, what do you mean?"
"What did Your Highness do that you don't know clearly?"
She looked up at him, a little sarcastic and a little bitter.
He said calmly, "From the beginning, you and I were not the same kind of people."
"It's just that I mistakenly thought that we would be the same person."
"I may have thought wrong. How can the majestic Crown Prince be the same kind of person as a commoner like me?"
"Okay, Your Highness, it's getting late, I should go."
She lowered her eyes, stopped looking into the man's eyes, and only gave him a gentle push.
However, her strength was too weak, and this movement did not make Xie Jinyan move at all.
"Awu, it must be like this."
Strong hands restrained her.
Under that handsome and charming face, the man's eyes were red. He looked at her for a moment and said, "I told you a long time ago that matters in court are not that simple."
"If you want to defeat those intricately connected aristocratic families, it won't take just a few sentences."
"Yeah, a few sentences can't do it, and solid evidence can't do it either."
"But, the Holy One has lost face, and the Royal Princess has been deceived!"
Yu Qingwu interrupted him, looked at those red eyes, struggled slightly, and then sneered, lowering his voice and said, "My brother's life, just like the life of Gao Minyue's father, is worthless.
.”
"You always said in the past that you were afraid that Gao Minyue would be attracted to the flames if she knew the truth."
"But Your Highness, I understand now that what you are afraid of is not that she will fly into a flame, but that when the truth is revealed to the world, your life experience will be questioned, and the queen's past will make your position as heir apparent unstable."
"At this moment, you will definitely say that my brother died voluntarily, for revenge, and to protect me."
"But if you really think so in your heart, why do you have to feel guilty and why do you need to hide it from me in every possible way?"
"Xie Jinyan, I just want to ask you, when you were in Qingzhou that day, when you didn't know the plans of your father, the emperor and your mother, what were you thinking about, wasn't it to take my brother's life in exchange for your chance to make a comeback?"
Yu Qingwu's voice was low and he tried his best to suppress his voice. However, at the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but shed tears.
Xie Jinyan lowered his eyes and stared at her without speaking.
A gust of cool wind blew by, lifting her hair.
Xie Jinyan stretched out his hand to smooth it for her.
Without touching his hand, Qing Wu took a step back suddenly, stared into his emotionless eyes, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly, and said, "That's all, after all, it was my brother's choice. After all, our Yu family has taken revenge.
The day we got involved, I was just out for revenge, but now everything is just back to where it started."
"There's nothing wrong with that."
"After all, I got my revenge, and my parents finally felt at ease..."
"It's time for me to live my own life."
She murmured, and her voice became softer and softer at the end, but she never noticed that Xie Jinyan's expression became more and more ugly.
He stared at her silently, his hand already holding the slender arm. After a long time, he suddenly asked with red eyes, "So Awu, if it wasn't for revenge, you wouldn't want to follow me, right?"
Not for revenge?
If it wasn't for revenge, maybe she would have died along with her mother in the heavy snow.
Why bother coming to Kyoto, where everything smells rancid?
Why bother to have those feelings with him that you shouldn't have in the first place?
We have to return to the starting point after all, so what’s the difference between yes and no?
Thinking of her brother and her relatives whom she had just found recently, that's all
With his whereabouts unknown, and no one alive or dead, Yu Qingwu was no longer in the mood to talk about love and affection with Xie Jinyan.
She pursed her lips, smiled indifferently, and said calmly, "Yeah."
"Without this revenge, you and I are two completely different people, how could we have crossed paths?"
"That's all, everything is over. Your Highness, please get out of the way."
"Awu! Do you have to be like this?"
"Are you angry with me? Are you angry with me?"
Xie Jinyan interrupted her, looking at her calm face, he panicked a little.
Even though her expression was calm, this time, he really read family determination in her eyes.
People are like this. When they fail to reach that step, they are always full of confidence and always think that the other party will probably understand them.
He is always blind, overestimating himself and the relationship between the two of them.
In particular, the woman in front of him not only has a relationship with him, but also has the relationship of childhood sweethearts and husband and wife. The most important thing is that she needs to rely on him to live.
How dare she? How could she?
Yes, Xie Jinyan had thought so before, but it wasn't until this moment that he suddenly came back to his senses when he saw the determination in her eyes.
Yes, she used to live dependent on him, clinging to him like a dodder flower.
But, that's because she still wants to live and she still wants revenge.
But now, these reasons that forced her to rely on him no longer existed, and she naturally no longer cared about him as before.
Sure enough, the next moment, Yu Qingwu pushed him away hard.
"Xie Jinyan! Please get out of the way!"
She used all her strength to not give him any face as the current crown prince.
She suddenly raised her voice, and the disgust in her eyes was obvious.
For a moment, the guards at the palace gate also looked over, but soon they looked away again, all of them showing fear, fearing that the Xie Jin Banquet would blame them for losing face.
However, this time, Xie Jinyan was not like before.
He looked at Qing Wu with red eyes and an expressionless face. For a moment, his whole body seemed to be suddenly drained of strength. He slowly withdrew his hand, nodded slightly, and said, "Senior sister is determined, so I won't force you to stay."
"As agreed on that day, when you and I achieve our goals, we part ways. I will no longer force you."
"But, I also want to ask you, Ah Wu, have you ever been half sincere to Gu? If it weren't for revenge, you would have been half sincere to Gu."
His eyes were full of mist, and he looked humble.
The dignified Crown Prince actually begged a merchant girl like this. For a moment, the several guards who were watching had strange expressions on their faces, and they also felt a little sympathetic.
However, looking at Xie Jinyan's moving face at this moment, Yu Qingwu was no longer moved as before.
In the past, she would have felt sad and soft-hearted, but now, seeing him repeating his old tricks, she just felt ridiculous.
