Eternal Love

   Chapter 25: Turbulent Times (2)

In Lin Wei’s bedroom, Zhao Ziheng was very careful to wipe her medicinal wine, and there were only the two of them in the huge room. The whole space was silent and even the sound of breathing could be heard, and Zhao Ziheng was alone with Zhao Ziheng. Zhao Ziheng was holding her hand and applying medicine to her, and Lin Wei's heartbeat accelerated...

"Okay, remember, it doesn’t matter whether the injury is good or the disease is good, no matter how small it is, if it’s not handled carefully, it won’t be good to wait for unnecessary situations in the future. Prevent from the beginning—"

"Yes Yes--"

  Zhao Ziheng is serious and plausible. Although Lin Wei can listen to her ears, how much can she really remember? In the subtle space where these two people are alone.

  After rubbing the medicine for Lin Wei, she handed her back back, then got up and walked aside, looking at the night view outside the window, it seemed that she had thoughts? It's just such an obvious move, how could the smart Lin Wei not notice it, stroking Zhao Ziheng's hand that had just rubbed the medicine for herself, the sweetness in her heart was still there, and seeing Zhao Ziheng seemed to worry about him, she couldn't help worrying about him.

   "Do you have something on your mind?"

   "...Do you think there is?"

  Without turning around or escaping, Zhao Ziheng asked Lin Wei softly, turning sideways.

  "Every time you have something on your mind, you will show this expression--"

Hearing Lin Wei's words, Zhao Ziheng was slightly startled. He didn't expect Lin Wei to be so clear. This surprised him. He clearly kept a distance from Lin Wei, but he was still seen through, thinking that Zhao Ziheng would close his eyes and think for a while. Then he looked out the window: "I originally thought that this country and the world would be able to maintain peace forever, but unfortunately it couldn't do so."

   "Oh? Why did you say this?"

"You also know that the emperor returned to the frontier a few days ago. Those people have already begun to act. As early as a year ago, when I was acting as my father’s government affairs before succeeding to the throne, I discovered that the power of an inexplicable small country was gradually expanding. I thought it was normal. , But who knows that in just a short year, the power has expanded far beyond expectations--"

   "Is that Feiyan Country?"

  Zhao Ziheng suddenly talked about political affairs, and Lin Wei also said it. It can be seen that the two of them are not discussing political affairs for the first time, and from Lin Wei's tone, she seems to have some understanding of national affairs? Is it because of his father who is a bachelor?

"Well, I sent someone to stare at them a long time ago, but I didn't expect that they still couldn't get the inside information. They are still small countries on the surface, but in fact they have absorbed many countries and grown. According to the current progress, the world will face them sooner or later. It’s a catastrophe, and from the information they have recently obtained, they have already revealed their minions to our border country. Their power has already competed with our Zhao country. If it were before, maybe we could easily suppress them, but ——"

In the middle of the conversation, Zhao Ziheng fell silent with a sad expression. Even so, Lin Wei was also very clear. Because of the death of the former King Zhao and the fact that Zhao Ziheng had just succeeded to the throne, there were twists and turns, and the younger brother predicated the usurper of a certain dynasty, and the power of Zhao country was weakened Many, if it were not for Zhao Shu to prop up the national defense, I am afraid that the current state of Zhao would have already been devastated...

On the surface, Zhao Ziheng is indeed worried about national affairs, but Lin Wei feels that it is far more than that. In the depths of Zhao Ziheng's heart, there is something shocking for her that she does not know, although she has known Zhao Ziheng for a long time. He was hiding something, but as long as Zhao Ziheng didn't say it, Lin Wei remained silent and pretended not to know.

  Just as Lin Wei felt uneasy about Zhao Ziheng's affairs, Zhao Ziheng walked to her side lightly...

   "Now it is difficult to rely on the emperor's uncle to provoke the burden of defending the kingdom of Zhao, and I will set off to the frontier after the ceremony is over tomorrow—"

Zhao Ziheng’s words hit Lin Wei’s heart like a bolt from the blue. He was just reunited and reunited, but he was about to be separated again, and what happened at an important juncture, Lin Wei didn’t know how to respond. .

"I have arranged everything. Prime Minister Wang and the Lin University Scholars will lead the ministers to handle government affairs. The frontier area has also been assigned a new line of defense. As the prince of a country, I am obliged to inspect. These, so—"

  Only halfway through the conversation again, Zhao Ziheng looked at Lin Wei, who had been bowing his head and said nothing, and suddenly he stretched out his hands and clasped Lin Wei's hands.

"Although you know that the person who hurts the most by doing this is you, I also know that I shouldn't leave at this time. The same is true before. I always leave you when you need it most. Whether you blame me or scold me , You can do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t make you sad."

hit? Or scolding? Lin Wei felt that her heart was dripping with blood, and she no longer regarded Zhao Ziheng as a familiar and stranger to her. Since the change three years ago, Lin Wei knew that she had fallen in love with Zhao Ziheng. A familiar and unfamiliar man, who has been alone for more than a year, enduring the gossip of others, and silently praying for his return, only hope that it will be good for a while, I really hope this will let her The beloved man can give her a touch of warmth, and the chest that can make her snuggle, but the reality is always cruel and cruel...

   "If you feel that you can't get rid of the pain in your heart, I will give you absolute permission, a permission that allows you to be free, you can decide whether you want to stay in the palace according to your own wishes——"

Sure enough, Lin Wei felt that every sentence and every word of Zhao Ziheng was like a sharp knife cutting her true heart towards him. He neither let her wait nor say to stay by his side. , Completely avoided the topic that should be, tears shed silently, drop by drop on the warm back of Zhao Ziheng's hands that clasped her hands...

   "Ville——"

  It is so obvious that the teardrops of large pearl particles dripping on the back of his hand, how could Zhao Ziheng become unconscious, although he had predicted that the damage to Lin Wei was far deeper and more painful than he thought...

  In this case

"I don’t know when I will come back, so I can’t let you wait. Maybe it’s three months, maybe it’s the same year as before, maybe it’s three years, or ten years. If you want to restore peace to the troubled times , You must be prepared to fight for a long time. At this important time, I don’t want to disturb myself because of other things. I want to calm this turmoil and catastrophe. This is the path I chose, so you don’t have to abandon it for me. Your own happiness, you also have the right to choose—"

  The gentle, deep voice, seemingly gentle but so cruel, Lin Wei may have known it from the beginning.

  "Would you say the same if it were Shuer?"

Lin Wei’s words were astonishing, and Zhao Ziheng was stunned. Lin Wei raised her head and looked at him with tears. Such expressions and looks make Zhao Ziheng think of Shu'er instead of Lin. Wei...

As for Lin Wei, since Zhao Ziheng called her name in front of her three years ago, she knew that Zhao Ziheng could not tolerate others in her heart. She thought that time could make him forget. How could he not know that he not only couldn't forget, but he had never even forgotten. However, during the time spent with him, Lin Wei personally realized that there is still a place deep in Zhao Ziheng's heart that she can't reach. It belongs to another woman, a woman he loves.

Ever since Lin Wei mentioned Shu'er’s name, Zhao Ziheng’s face showed a lot of pain. It was Lin Wei who was staring straight at him, but it was Shu'er who was thinking in her heart. His Shu'er, not only the life or death of him, is still uncertain. , I couldn't go to her side, so many feelings were mixed, so I mistakenly regarded Lin Wei in front of her as her...

   "Shu Er——"

Distressed and helpless, Zhao Ziheng frustratedly took Lin Wei in front of him as Shu'er and hugged him tightly...

"I'm sorry, I can't be with you, but you must understand that I cannot abandon the people of the country now. I believe you will forgive me. If you can, if we are still in that era, I miss me We must be by your side all the time, but destiny has brought us here, let us each bear a different destiny, even if we all want to give up, but life is fragile and the people are innocent, since I can do it , I just want to fight for it, Shuer, you must be so hopeful, right? That's why you still choose to live in pain when you are threatened with so many lives—"

I will tell everything I have accumulated in my heart after the separation, and forget the fact that Shu'er in front of me is Lin Wei. I think about Shu'er and the one I love is also Shu'er. I want to be by her side and moments. Staying beside her, his chaotic fate has brought him to the person he loves. The cruel facts make him have to face it. This way, he hates his current identity. If he is still just a policeman like this world, If he came here just as a commoner, he could love his love and live the life he wanted. Even though Shuer is in a half-life slumber, as the king of a country, he cannot accompany him. By her side, maybe no longer see, he still chose many lives resolutely, who knows his sorrow? Who can understand his pain?

I don’t know what happened to Zhao Ziheng at all, but I can still find the facts that do not belong to her from his words. I can’t push him away, and I’m unable to reprimand him. He can only be filled with painful and silent tears. Under the rain, once she fell in love, even if she knew she didn’t belong to her, she still fell into it. Even though she was covered in scars and devastated, she didn’t have any object to complain, not to mention the object of resentment. Silently endured the feelings that shouldn't have fallen into...
