The room was very quiet, except for her trembling hands and the secret letter she was holding. There was no wind, but there was a rustling sound, which was thrilling and unbearable to see.【】
She lowered her head and made a judgment - not for herself, but to admit her crime and confess to all her personal affairs, including her betrayal and use of another man - because he loved her, so she could
He took full advantage of it.
Falling in love with someone is a terrible thing. It gives the other person the opportunity to hurt you unscrupulously. For this reason, you have to do your best to be patient. Even if you are hurt until you are bleeding, there is no place to escape.
Just like the secret letter she controlled in one hand, or even the imperial edict he secretly wrote in her arms - on one side, it was a piece of rotten flesh that he wanted to dig out from her heart intentionally or unintentionally; on the other side, it was the life-saving message he left to her.
The only remedy - who is ruthless and who is the most affectionate? How can we distinguish between all these?
All around, there was deathly silence.
The secret decree on her chest was like a mountain pressing on her heart. For a long time, Shui Lian felt like she couldn't breathe. Finally, she raised her head and faced those dark, strange eyes full of an indescribable complex expression.
Gaze—oh, that’s His Majesty’s gaze.
At this moment, the man from back then suddenly came to life - he seemed to be walking in the mountains and rivers of Ganlu Temple, under the thousand-year-old pines outside the courtyard, under the only window of the small black room...
At that time, it was before the flowers and under the moon.
At that time, they were both carefree young people. There was not a single stain in their lives, and their relationship was not stained by any dust. At that time, there was no Li Fei, nor Cui Yunxi... only a pair of childhood sweethearts.
Young people thought that falling in love with each other would last a lifetime...
Even the Third Prince——
He is also very far away.
He is the loneliness in the quiet night; he is the talk of the gentle breeze and drizzle; he is a spring dream in the courtyard...
It's a pity that no one is willing to completely forget him - she doesn't dare; he doesn't want to; the eldest princess, the second prince and others... they are unwilling... so they go thousands of miles to find him out;
His departure from the courtyard was pulled back, allowing him to stand under the sun and accept the judgment of his soul.
It also shattered the relationship between His Majesty and her that had finally recovered.
