Eternal Love

   Chapter 21: Life is hanging by a thread (2)

"At first I suspected that he was right, but I don't think he would do such a thing once the prince was in power and he was in power. By all accounts, he had only rescued Yinyin, and was later implicated in the disappearance of Ru Ting. , Although the spear pointed at Yinyin later, I think there must be something inside. The moment Yinyin fell from the cliff that day, he also rushed to the scene. After the cliff fell, he sent people to search for Yinyin’s whereabouts. It is also an indisputable fact. After the old King Zhao became seriously ill, he seemed to have given up on returning to China to govern the government. On the day of his wedding last year, it should have been two years since he had seen Yinyin. Let her assassinate Shuji, who had just become his concubine. Although Yinyin was rescued later and caused a dispute between the two countries, I believe you also know that Zhao Ziheng did not want to really put Yinyin to death. What's more, when the assassin captured Yinyin, he took the lead in chasing after him. Although he paid a heavy price, but linking all of these together, do you think he will pay so much for someone who wants to kill? Obviously it is all for a person who cannot be lost, even his life—"

  "You mean Zhao Wang to Yinyin?"

   "I don't know, but if it's not something to lose, he won't do all kinds of incomprehensible behavior!"

   "...what the emperor said!"

  It seems that Zhou Cheng is not in vain. Since he took the throne, his shrewdness has long been recognized by the world. If he can calmly analyze Zhao Ziheng so thoroughly, there must be no one but him now?

  "In order to get more clues, I hope you will investigate a few things!"

   "Yes, please order!"

  It is not only Zhou Yan and Zhao Ziheng, but now Zhou Cheng has also begun to act. What kind of earth-shattering shady is hidden behind the scenes, and why are people who are unprovoked and involved, and kill them at any cost?

  …………

  Yinyin woke up with a dazed expression, Zhou Cheng ignored everyone's obstacles and dragged his wounded body to see Yinyin. How envious of these concubines in the inner courtyard of the palace? The same goes for Xia Ningshuang, both envious and jealous...

  Meeting Yinyin, how could Zhou Cheng allow others to be present, retreat from everyone, and get along with Yinyin alone!

   "I have heard about it. Doesn't it matter now?"

He is still so gentle, even if his face is expressionless, he knows that Zhou Cheng will show his gentleness only when facing Yinyin. This is also after he found out that he fell in love with Yinyin, as long as he faced Yinyin, he would follow suit. Of course, the tenderness that he showed, even he couldn't control it...

  Yinyin is still not awake and worried?

"what's happenin?"

  Zhou Cheng was worried that she wanted to reach out and touch Yinyin’s face. At this moment, Yinyin finally had a reaction. She slowly raised her head to look at Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng stopped her hand and retracted...

  "Your injury—"

  Only hearing the voice of insufficient Qi coming from Yinyin's mouth, Zhou Cheng's heart was restrained and moved.

   "It's okay anymore!"

  After listening to Zhou Cheng’s words, Yinyin’s eyes showed a slight sense of blame...

   "Why do I look sad and self-blaming? Do you think I was injured because of you?"

  Zhou Cheng completely guessed Yinyin's thoughts, and Yinyin could only be silent because it was a fact.

   "Make no mistake, the target of the assassin's assassination originally came at me, it has nothing to do with you!"

Whether it’s comforting or lying, as long as Yinyin’s grief is not allowed to blame herself, Zhou Cheng is willing to pay for her. This is the first time in his life that he wants to pay for someone at any price, even if there is no return. …

  Yinyin seems to know that Zhou Cheng is speaking for herself, so she doesn't quite believe Zhou Cheng's words.

"As the king of a country, there will naturally be countless people who want to assassinate me. This time is just one of them. Even if you think about it, you should be able to think that you have never shown up. Someone wants to kill you, right?"

  Zhou Cheng ignored any rewards, and blindly took all this incident to himself, how could it be unconvincing?

   "But—"

   "There is nothing but, if there is anything, you can only say that you happen to be there. This matter has nothing to do with you. Even if you are not there, I will be assassinated by the assassin, so you don't have to blame yourself!"

  In spite of this, the incident spread that Zhou Cheng had resisted and protected her. Although Yinyin was not particularly clear about the situation at the time, it seemed to her that Zhou Cheng was protecting her, just like Zhao Ziheng...

   "Sorry, I have a bad memory—"

   Such an understatement, you must know that the arrow almost killed him, but he could still take his own body. If it weren't for Yinyin, then Zhou Cheng wouldn't be so considerate, right? Obviously she can't get rid of the relationship, and Yinyin can't accept Zhou Cheng's apology...

   "So, can you tell me what you want me to do?"

"what??"

   "On that day, I want to know what else you want to say later—"

  Zhou Cheng changed the subject smoothly. Yinyin looked at him blankly. Didn’t she expect Zhou Cheng to mention what she said at the time? Not to mention that he could still guess that she didn't tell her real purpose at that time, and now...

  Thinking about what she wanted to say at the time and what happened later, Yinyin lowered her head again...

"what's happenin?"

  Zhou Cheng’s voice has been echoing in her ears, and it sounds so gentle to Yinyin, because of this, Yinyin is more guilty, and her hands are tight on the bedding...

   "Why are you so gentle to me suddenly?"

What Yinyin said silenced Zhou Cheng

  "Isn’t you the first to marry me? After that, it was just to make up for me. Until Miss Jiang’s matter, you have nothing to repay. Why would you be so gentle to me after three years?"

  This time Yinyin did not deliberately mentioned the past as before, but instead mentioned it naturally.

  Should I answer? Zhou Cheng is struggling inside...

  —Half loud—

"I don't know. I should hate you. From the beginning to the end, I only blamed me for not discovering my own mind earlier. From Ru Ting's death three years ago to the time when you were driven to desperation or even liberated by death, then Every day after that, I will dream of your expressions and scenes at that time. I constantly blame myself, thinking that I will never fall in love with anyone again, let alone my enemies, but thinking that you will be the two after you die. Over the years, when I heard the news that you were still alive in Ashenvale, my heart began to mess up. Watching you being kidnapped by the assassin and driving down the cliff again, I couldn’t deceive myself. What you erased from your memory is not hatred for you, but you cannot forget the nostalgia for you deep in your heart. At the beginning, you were married because you were too often with you, so you could not find it. Presumably this is the closer The more distance you can’t perceive your own mind, it’s too late by the time you realize it—"

  While perceiving his own thoughts, Zhou Cheng also knew that Yinyin had already belonged to it. Isn't this the so-called too late? It is an indisputable fact that I regret marriage, or perhaps it is Yinyin's unilateral change? Whether he missed it, or the other party changed his mind, there is no practical basis at all...

  "...So, did you treat me well because you found out that you fell in love with me? Even if you killed Ru Ting?"

Zhou Cheng was silent and said that he acquiesced that he did think so in his heart. Recalling that after knowing that Yinyin was still alive, Taishi Jiang had repeatedly punished Zhou Cheng for Ru Ting's affairs, but Zhou Cheng had to bear it many times. Because of this, he understands that loving someone can really do everything for her and tolerate everything about her. Even if he becomes a sinner through the ages, he will not hesitate...

"I'm sorry, I've noticed it too. I clearly want to use your feelings to achieve my own goals, but I can't do it all the time. If you're a bit bad, if you're a bit more selfish, maybe I can deceive myself to use it. is you-"

  No matter how Yinyin wanted to retaliate against Zhou Yan, she still couldn't use a man who truly loved her and gave silently, and she couldn't do it!

Listening to Yinyin’s inner words and her bewildered look, Zhou Cheng even thought that it’s okay even if she was taken advantage of. The kiss on the hunting ground had already made him feel that he could do everything for Yinyin, even if it was a lie or a deceit. It’s okay, but the result has made him more steadfast in his beliefs. The heart that loves Yinyin is unshakable and irreplaceable...

"help me-"

  I don't know if it is incoherent or the limit of patience has been reached, Yinyin began to cry for help!

"Please, let me be free from him. I can no longer suppress myself. Although I want to endure and forget as much as possible, I still can't forget and endure. He killed the person I love most. , Also committed an unforgivable crime against me, I don’t know what to do anymore—"

Tears gushing out like spring water, the helpless, sad, heavy expression and tone of voice, Zhou Cheng was deeply shaken. He really didn't know what happened to Yinyin, he only knew that since he found his mind. At that time, he had already decided to dedicate everything for her.

"help me-"

With a heartbreaking cry for help, Zhou Cheng could no longer suppress her desires. She stretched out her arms and hugged Yinyin tightly in her arms. She still cried and vented without scruples, swearing secretly in her heart. As long as he can save her from pain, he can do anything...
