"I'm not worried because you're so seriously injured. It's better to stay here. If you're tired, just go to sleep." Xiao Yunchen said.
How could Yu Yunxuan sleep here? She frowned and insisted on persuading: "It's really no need. I feel much better now and don't need anyone to take care of me. Besides, isn't there a maid outside? If I have
If you need anything, I'll call them, don't worry."
"I have just asked the maids to go down and rest. Now I am the only one taking care of you."
"This, you..." Yu Yunxuan was speechless for a moment, "Your Highness, you..."
Before the words were spoken, there was a warm touch on the back of her hand. Xiao Yunchen gently held her hand, with infinite tenderness in his eyes, and said: "Yunxuan, let's not go on like this, okay?
"
Yu Yunxuan's heart suddenly twitched. Feeling the warmth from his palm, her heart also melted. She wanted to sink into it, but unfortunately, she quickly remembered what happened to her and Yu Bai.
Something happened, and my heart hurt again.
She pretended not to understand Xiao Yunchen's words, and asked with a confused smile: "What does this mean, Your Majesty? Aren't we always like this? What's wrong with it?"
"You know what I mean." Xiao Yunchen said firmly, holding Yu Yunxuan's hand tightly, and said slowly: "Ever since you married to the palace, I have been deliberately keeping a distance from you, I am on guard against you.
, I suspect you because you are the princess of the Western Kingdom, so even if I have feelings for you in my heart, I dare not show it.
However, the more I suppressed my emotions, the more uncontrollable I became. I once wanted to make myself forget you by being with other women and being indifferent to you, but in the end I found that no matter what I did, I would never forget you.
I can't erase you from my mind because you have already lived in my heart.
Later, I simply stopped restraining myself, stayed with you wholeheartedly, and tried to trust you, but who would have thought that you would steal the strategic map again, causing my elder brother to disappear. At that time, I really hated you, because
I feel betrayed. You have betrayed my sincerity and I cannot forgive you.
I thought, this is it between you and me. If you keep your peace, I will let you continue to be my princess and keep you safe for the rest of your life. If you keep tossing it, I will kill you. I am really determined.
, but this determination did not last long. When the whole army forced me to execute you, I still failed to make the move.
Originally, I wanted to try to get back together with you after putting down this rebellion, but I didn't expect you to be kidnapped again. I looked for you everywhere, but when I couldn't find you, I suddenly realized that you were already in my heart.
You are an indispensable person. If I don’t have you by my side for the rest of my life, I don’t know how I can survive.
So, Yunxuan, don’t leave me again in the future, let’s let go of the past and start over, okay?”
After hearing these words, Yu Yunxuan's eyes were moistened unconsciously. She thought that Xiao Yunchen had never believed in her, let alone had love for her, but it turned out that he just didn't show it.
Over the years, there have been so many misunderstandings between them, which have only been resolved today.
Unfortunately, it was too late. They were destined not to be together.
Xiao Yunchen looked at Yu Yunxuan with burning eyes, expecting her to give him a positive answer, but his hand was pushed away by the other party, and she only heard her say:
"Your Majesty, some things just happened when they happened and can never be buried, just like scars will remain after a wound heals and will exist throughout life. We should stay as we are now. Although there is distance, at least we won't be buried.
Getting hurt again, isn’t it?”
The air suddenly became eerily quiet. After a long time, Xiao Yunchen slowly withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and said, "I understand."
Yu Yunxuan's heart ached, and she was afraid that Xiao Yunchen would notice the tears in her eyes, so she had to turn her head away and face the wall. How much better would it have been if he had said what he just said earlier?
Xiao Yunchen still stayed with Yu Yunxuan here all night, but the two of them did not speak again after that. It was not until dawn when Xiao Yunchen left that Yu Yunxuan dared to go into bed and cry indulgently.
After lying in bed for several days, Yu Yunxuan's body got better, her wounds healed, and she could get out of bed and walk around. She would take a walk in the yard with the help of the maid every day. When she was tired from walking, she would go back to the house and lie down.
Xiao Yunchen had not been here since he left that day, which made Yu Yunxuan breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he was completely heartbroken by her and would never talk to her again.
However, what she never expected was that a few days later, Xiao Yunchen came to visit her and talked and laughed with her as before, as if nothing had happened.
Yu Yunxuan even had to wonder if Xiao Yunchen had lost his memory.
When Xiao Yunchen saw her looking at him with strange eyes, he couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "Even if you said that, we are still called husband and wife, right? As a husband, I wouldn't come to see you if I didn't.
Look at you, the people in the house are still gossiping?
Therefore, in order to silence everyone, I think it is necessary for you and me to play the role of husband and wife."
Hearing him speak so easily, Yu Yunxuan's heart became even heavier. Her intuition told her that Xiao Yunchen did not do this for such a ridiculous reason. Perhaps, he had no intention of giving up at all.
"I thought I made it clear to you that night, if..."
"You said you can't let go of the past, so don't let go at all. Even with the pain of the past, I'm still confident that I can let you and I start over." Xiao Yunchen interrupted her with such a firm tone that Yuyun was shocked.
Xuan is confused.
"Your Majesty..."
"Okay, don't talk about this anymore," Xiao Yunchen looked at the sky and said, "The weather is fine today and your health is much better. I will take you out for a walk later. It's not good to be bored in the house all the time.
"
"Don't you have to deal with government affairs?"
"You have a rest today. No matter how many things you have to do, you can put it off until tomorrow." Xiao Yunchen stood up, stretched out his hand towards Yu Yunxuan, and said with a smile: "Let's go!"
Yu Yunxuan hesitated for a moment, but did not give him her hand. Instead, she stood up on her own and said, "It's good to go for a walk. It's time to stretch your muscles."
Xiao Yunchen is not annoyed. If she wants to keep a distance, then just keep a distance. Anyway, he has plenty of time to change her mind.
Because he wanted to spend more time alone with Yu Yunxuan, Xiao Yunchen deliberately went out without any entourage. Apart from the groom driving the carriage, there were only the two of them.
When they arrived at a crowded place, the two of them got down and walked on foot. They walked side by side on the street and shuttled among the bustling crowds. Yu Yunxuan was not in a high mood and remained silent. She seemed to be thinking about other things, not at all.
